wall treatment of DO model for light radiation
1 Attachment(s)
hello,guys! i am modeling the light radiation with DO model, but there is a problem that confused me. the collimated beam (Perpendicular to the glass wall) radiated from the glass wall to an annular reactor with water, after the simulation, it get a shocking result that the light transmitted aslant (please see the contour of incident radiation and pay attention to the right, all boundaries in the reactor are walls)! The light dirrection is set to be vertical and the direction should be unchanged in theory, i don't know why this happen (the light source is regard as purely specular)! please help me! any help is appreciated, thanks!
additional news
the boundaries in the top, left and right are same in this case and to be opaque with the internal emissivity equals 1.
please give me some advice
gus! please give me some advice! any help is appreciated! thanks in advance!
This problem seems to be specific to Fluent, so you'd better post in the Fluent forum.
thank you for you advice
thank you for your response, i have move the post to the FLUENT!

Every photographer has one – the scrolling images from random weddings, a groom here, a dress there. Why do we have these things? What are you supposed to make of them? I recently updated mine and I was thinking that as photographers we understand them to be a representation of our best work, but for regular folks trying to make sense of our industry, a little bit of a guide could help.
You should care about image portfolios…
If done correctly, wedding portfolios are 30-50 of the very best images a wedding photographer has ever taken, presented in an easy-to-navigate (fingers-crossed!), typically slideshow format. You sit there and get bowled over with how brilliant the photographer is (results may vary) and decide that this person is a true artist. They showcase the variety of weddings a photographer has worked, as well as giving a general feel for the kind of images they like to take.
The best image portfolios will also give a clear indication of what a photographer is looking for at a wedding. Many inexperienced photographers feel they need to show every bit of a wedding, and waste precious portfolio space to represent parts of a wedding day they may not photograph particularly well. The best portfolios will demonstrate a photographer's values and hopefully speak to the same values clients hold. For instance, many years ago, I used to have pictures of cakes, rings, shoes. I thought I needed to have a picture of a cake to show that I can photograph a cake. Now I know that my clients, while they may want a picture of their cake, are far more interested in my ability to tell a story, to capture emotion, to highlight joy. I limit myself to 50 total images in my portfolio, so I would never include a cake when I could have a grandmother tearing up, or a bridesmaid jumping in excitement or a groom getting emotional as his bride walks down the aisle.
…but you should also view them with a big grain of salt
The best of the best images a photographer has ever taken are sure to impress. But you should be fully aware that you are probably not going to have 50 showstopper images from your wedding. Each of the images in a photographer's portfolio were taken in exquisite light, with ideal posing, plenty of time and – let's be frank – their most attractive clients. Any wedding photographer worth their snuff is going to make their clients feel they've met the expectation of a wedding portfolio, but no one is capable of producing a career-highlight image for each part of the day.
The truth is, you don't need every single image from your wedding to be breathtaking. When putting together a typical album, only a handful of images will be very large. Those are going to be your just-like-the-portfolio heart-catching-in-your-chest beautiful images. A photographer would have to dominate the entire day to be able to produce a full weddings' worth of portfolio images – directing everyone about to stand in the most beautiful light, coordinating setup of tables, DJ, etc. – hell, choosing the venue for you. A wedding portfolio is a showcase of possibilities. There will be new ones at your wedding.
How to use wedding portfolios in your search
I always recommend folks searching for a wedding photographer look at one or two full weddings, ideally under similar conditions to their own (indoor vs. outdoor vs. church ceremony, mansion vs. vineyard vs. ballroom reception, etc. etc.) This way you'll see the entirety of what the photographer can do. You'll see how they take family formals, how they approach each part of the day, and what part of their coverage reflects the pristine images you see in their portfolio. Blog posts are helpful to narrow things down, but you really should be asking to see entire weddings – either in online galleries or in sample albums as a meeting.
Use the wedding portfolio to allow yourself to be wowed – your wedding images could look like that. But then ask to see the rest of the images from those weddings and make sure you are happy with the entire set.
Go easy on the wedding portfolio
Many photographers are pretty terrible photo editors. They choose images they love for personal reasons, neglecting stronger images that speak to someone who wasn't there. As I mentioned, they include images to demonstrate competence across the wedding day, when a client is likely actually looking for brilliance whenever it hits. While all wedding portfolios are demonstrating a value system the photographer is promoting, not all photographers understand the effect. Sometimes they just think you want to see a picture of a cake.

We had a great stay at the hotel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, gave us our the tourist information required regarding day trips and maps etc. Our room was great and the bed amazing and so big. The shower was amazing and never a shortage of hot water and the under floor heating the bathroom was a bonus! The breakfast was amazing and we had dinner in the hotel one night, the food was good but we felt a bit overpriced.
One thing, the hotel will ask for a 50 Euro deposit either in cash or on your card, to be returned once you leave so make sure you budget for this.
The location perhaps for some is not ideal but if you plan to make the trip into town once and plan your day we found this the best thing to do. The tram stop was easy to use and buying a 3 day travel pass saved us money and made taking public transport so much easier.
Do make sure you stock up on milk, juice etc before returning to the hotel as there is not alot around it but a fridge in the room helps to keep it chilled.
When you head to the tram stop, leave the hotel at the back and cross over a little bridge; there are some houses, walk through this area and you will come to the main road and the tram stop. 10 minute walk at the most.
Do you research though for your day trips generally as alot of them you can do yourself, for less money and you are not stuck to someone elses timetable.
Would definitely recommend the hotel.

Magnetraps were devices used by the Daleks.
Functions Edit
Magnetraps could pull spacecraft down to a planet with magnetic attraction exerted by the spotlight-like devices on the four corners of the landing pad. A ship could be brought down so gently that a sleeping crew would not wake before the ship was boarded.
History Edit
On Skaro, the Daleks used a magnetrap in an attempt to capture 2K, but he used a drill in his head to escape underground. (COMIC: Impasse)
The Daleks later used a magnetrap to capture Kirid's spacecraft. (COMIC: The Emissaries of Jevo)
On Gurnian, the Daleks used a magnetrap to capture the craft transporting Mary Stone and Andy Stone. (COMIC: Monsters of Gurnian)
Behind the scenes Edit
- While referred to in-story as a "magnetrap", the feature Dalek War Machines in which it first appears refers to it as a "magnatrap".

Identity Theft
January 19, 2012 by staff
Identity Theft, Identity theft suspect arrested on warrant By Scott DeSmit email@example.com The Daily News Online | 0 comments
A Rochester woman who was part of a large group of people who traveled throughout New York stealing wallets from hospitals and colleges was arrested on a warrant Tuesday, city police said
Kiara K. Asante, 21, is charged with second-degree forgery, fourth-and-fifth degree criminal possession of stolen property and attempted petit larceny.
Asante was already in Monroe County Jail on similar charges and was returned to that jail after her arraignment in City Court Tuesday, Detective Charles Dudek said.
She was one of three people police had been searching for since a theft at United Memorial Medical Center on Sept. 11.
At the time, police issued an alert after a man entered the hospital and stole a wallet from an employee's purse. The man an two women were later involved in using credit cards stolen from the wallet at a local business. The three were caught on surveillance cameras.
Police believe the thefts began in July and happened at more than 30 college campuses and hospitals, including some as far away as Watertown.
As many as 15 people may have been involved.
The break in the case came in mid-November when Asante and Keith Carter, 29, of Rochester, were arrested in Monroe County.
Police there said Carter likely was the ringleader and would enlist the help of acquaintances, according to a story by WHEC-TV at the time.
Dudek said he also has an arrest warrant for two others, including Carter, who is believed to be the man entering UMMC Sept. 11. Carter is in Monroe County Jail.

3 Horticulture in East Africa Potential for sustainable growth East Africa offers great opportunities for professional horticulture. The climate and geography are ideal for growing flower and vegetable crops. As the welfare for people and the environment is of primary concern in the region, applying new horticultural technologies can help to achieve sustainable production. Roses from Kenya and Ethiopia are already well known all over the world. In recent years vegetables from East Africa are also finding their way onto the international market. The region is particularly suited to growing a large variety of crops due to its varied climates and altitudes. As a result, the acreage under horticultural production is impressive (see table). In the last few decades, many experienced growers from abroad have established modern farms in Africa and a great number of local investors have also started professional horticultural production. African growers can benefit from the experience of foreigners. Several Dutch suppliers continue to introduce useful knowledge and techniques to the region. Application of new technology is essential for people, planet and profit Care for the environment The arrival of modern horticulture should not be at the expense of the environment. Water is a scarce resource, and climate change has led to drought conditions in the region. Responsible handling of water is of utmost priority. Therefore, innovative solutions are required to achieve sustainable horticulture development in the area. As horticultural production in The Netherlands is highly developed, East African businesses can profit from their expertise to develop sustainable, environmentally friendly cropping systems. Process automation and reliable irrigation systems can help to achieve higher yields and better crop quality. Moreover, technical know-how and knowledge of best cultivation practices can be used to optimise the profitability of horticultural businesses. In cooperation with Wageningen University & Research centre, Dutch suppliers and advisors are currently developing appropriate solutions for production under local conditions. For instance, they are researching how growers can use water and fertilisers as efficiently as possible. They have also set up a successful demo project with integrated pest management (IPM) to decrease the need for pesticides. Results from the demo project have been transformed into workable solutions for practical use, which safeguard a sustainable future for horticulture in East Africa. Research results are transformed into workable solutions Development partners Although technology offers new opportunities, it is often a challenge for the people who must work with it. Therefore Dutch companies will provide on-farm instruction, training and technological support. A field extension service system with technicians will do their best to offer a solution within 24 hours should there be any malfunctions. This means vital security for growers. Choosing Dutch technology means choosing for quality and sustainability at an affordable price that will help save the environment. Horticultural production in East Africa in 2009 Ethiopia 1000 hectares protected flower production and some thousands of hectares of open field and protected vegetable crops. Kenya 3000 hectares protected flower production and 100,000 hectares open field and protected vegetable crops. Tanzania Some 200 hectares with 30 hectares production of young plants Uganda Some 150 hectares with 30 hectares production of young plants 2 Green Farming p a r t n e r s f o r p e r f e c t s o l u t i o n s 3
4 E T H I O P I A Modern technologies for optimum water and fertiliser use Rain water is collected in an enormous reservoir. In early 2009, Olij Roses commissioned twelve hectares of greenhouses at Debre Zeit, Ethiopia. Responsible water management had highest priority, and thanks to Dutch installations, water consumption decreased by forty per cent when compared to traditional cropping methods. Olij Roses is a leading family-run business with sites in the Netherlands, Kenya and Ethiopia. Olij Roses has been producing top-quality cut roses for almost a hundred years, and since 1980, they have been involved in cultivation and selection. They built a modern nursery in Ethiopia, which exploits tunnel greenhouses and places plants in coco slabs. Their new farm at Debre Zeit is close to several small lakes. The conservation of nature and the need to achieve sustainable rose production requires specific irrigation solutions. Therefore, extensive research is undertaken before any new construction is started, so that water can be handled as responsibly as possible. Calculations established by Wageningen University & Research centre provide insight into how technology can contribute to crop-related water savings. Re-use of water For a cultivation business such as Olij Roses, good water quality is vital. Their plant material is always exclusive, and they cannot take any risks. Because water can only be re-used if it is clean, a reverse osmosis installation was built, where water is fed into a special installation using membranes. This reduces the water s EC level and also removes any bacteria, mould and viruses. Reverse osmosis leaves re-used water just as clean as rainwater, and therefore fertilisers can be applied more precisely. An economic use of fertiliser will save money. With custom-made recirculation, nothing is lost Calculations by Wageningen University & Research centre show that by using a combination of different technologies, it is possible to reduce water consumption by sixty to eighty per cent (see table). Olij Roses manager Phillipe Veijs says: The research figures confirm our expectations of technology, so we have chosen to set up our farm accordingly. Our acquired practical experience combined with today s market developments also mean we should be able to choose a somewhat simpler system. Custom-made design The new farm is fitted with cutting-edge irrigation equipment. As much rainwater is captured as possible, and drain water is re-circulated. Marco Braam of Bosman BV, installers says: We have designed a wholly custom-made water installation for Olij Roses in Ethiopia. We didn t just supply technology, but a complete water management solution. We work with a daily water storage in specially covered water silos, meaning no debris can fall into the water, and evaporation is totally prevented. The water is also cleaned with reverse osmosis, so fertilisers can be added at very exact dosages. Olij Roses produces top quality roses in Debre Zeit. Water silos are covered with special sheets protecting the water against algae growth and pollution. A modern process computer controls irrigation, and this is adjusted to plant needs using humidity sensors. The actual saving now amounts to forty per cent compared with traditional cropping systems. This is a good installation, one of the first in Ethiopia, and we have learnt a lot during the last three years, says Veijs. Because of all its technology, the system is quite highmaintenance, but luckily enough, we have a local engineer. Any breakdowns can always be resolved quickly. He concludes: We re-use water and fertilisers, and nothing is lost. That s good for the environment and for our purse.

5 K E N Y A Expensive oil is replaced by solar energy The Bilashaka Flowers rose growers in Naivasha have created a unique horticultural project. They use a revolutionary solar heating system to heat their Kenyan tableland greenhouses in the mornings. This clean technology results in a better climate, less diseases in the crop and higher yields. The sun is an inexhaustible energy source. With this idea in mind, rose growers Cor, Joost and Judith Zuurbier developed an alternative, oil-less heating system in cooperation with engineers Solar panels cover a surface of 3200 m 2, heating water up to fifty degrees Celsius in the daytime. from Frans van Zaal Totaal Techniek. The growers have been working successfully with the innovative solar heating system since Heating greenhouses in the morning reduces risk of fungi There were three reasons for the development of this system: firstly, the growers wanted to heat their greenhouse in the mornings. Secondly, they saw that the world market price of crude oil is steadily rising, so that a boiler-run heating system would not be cost-effective in the long term. And finally, the sun is a cleaner energy source than oil. Higher yields Zuurbier & Co started producing cut roses in East Africa in The company is running nineteen hectares of greenhouses at their Bilashaka Flowers farm in Kenya. We are trying to have as little impact on the environment as possible, says manager Joost Zuurbier. He explains: Technology is vital to this. Our greenhouses use various types of clean technology, and the solar heating system is one of them. One important improvement in the greenhouse climate for roses in Kenya is the application of dry heat in the early morning. At night, temperatures fall considerably in the mountains, inevitably leading to dew formation on plants in the To obtain maximum transmission efficiency, cleaning the panels is essential. early morning. As a result there is a bigger risk of mould, such as botrytis and downy mildew. Heating the greenhouse by one to five degrees has meant we almost always manage to prevent such problems, Zuurbier knows. An integral advantage of heating is that it encourages plant growth more if temperatures are somewhat higher early in the day. By now, these rose growers can look back on some years of experience with the solar heating system. They are extremely happy with it. The quality of their roses has improved: they have bigger heads and longer stems. Botrytis hardly ever occurs now, and they spray considerably less against downy mildew. Their total yield has therefore increased by some twenty per cent. A simple system Solar panels cover a surface 3200 m 2 in size at the site, sufficient to heat ten hectares of greenhouses for an average of four hours in the morning. By now, all greenhouses at the farm have been connected to the system, and the solar panel surface is being doubled. The solar panels consist of blackened tubes containing circulating water. During daytime, the sun heats up the water, which is then stored with a temperature of fifty degrees Celsius in a buffer tank. The following morning, this warm water is pumped into the greenhouse pipes by the system. The heated air dries plants quickly, and mould has no chance. There is still a boiler installed for any cloudy periods, used to provide supplementary heat to the system. Although in practice, for 350 days of the year, there is no need for this. For areas with much sun and cold nights, solar panels appear a good solution for morning greenhouse heating. This technology is relatively simple, and engineers from Frans van Zaal Totaal Techniek have calculated that the system would be profitable in many cases in East Africa. Water is pumped through blackened tubes. Green Farming p a r t n e r s f o r p e r f e c t s o l u t i o n s K E N Y A
6 K E N Y A Data are vital to optimising your climate An optimum climate starts with measurements, so sensors are installed in the greenhouse. To grow top-quality roses, you need a perfect climate. Sensors provide important information about growing factors such as light, temperature, RH and CO 2. These data can then be used to optimise your climate, rendering plants stronger and less susceptible to diseases. In East Africa growing conditions differ substantially from location to location. Growers must therefore learn to manage the specific circumstances at their farm. To this end, information about what is happening in your greenhouse and with your plants is required. That s something Arie van den Berg, of Van den Berg Roses Kenya BV in Naivasha, a farm with Dutch roots, knows well. The seventy hectare farm at Naivasha is located almost on the equator. Its director says: We have a lot of sun in Kenya, with twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness every 24 hours. The temperature is very favourable for roses. Our farm lies at an altitude of 1850 meters above sea level. At night, temperatures with around eight to fifteen degrees are rather mild. During the day, temperatures don t climb any higher than twenty to 28 degrees. There is also quite a constant climate throughout the whole year, so greenhouses don t need heating, lighting or cooling. Answers to questions In principle, these are seemingly perfect climate conditions for growing high-quality products. But, says Van den Berg, although growing conditions are very good, we still have to pay the utmost attention to changes in the climate. For instance, you have to be particularly careful in the rainy season. Downy mildew and botrytis can cause much damage. Near the equator, the light intensity is also much higher than in moderate climate zones. We also grow on volcanic substrate with a high risk of excess water. Therefore, we always like to know what is happening with our plants. Martin Helmich of Hoogendoorn Growth Management says: An optimum climate starts with measurements. A grower needs answers to important questions, such as how much grow light do plants receive? What are daytime and nighttime temperatures, etc? It is also good to know a plant s temperature. All data combined help to clarify what is happening in a plant. You can then adjust your climate controls, irrigation and misting accordingly. As much as possible, you must always ensure your plants are prevented from developing stress. A better climate leads to higher yields and improved quality. Van den Berg Roses has built modern greenhouses with good ventilation facilities. Remote monitoring That s why sensors measuring temperature, light levels and CO 2 concentration are installed in the greenhouse. The soil s humidity content and the irrigation water s EC level are also determined. Plant temperature meters register the plant s condition. All these data are stored in a central computer, and both grower and adviser can view these data remotely. We use these figures to analyse what is happening in the greenhouse, and what the plants reaction to this is, says Van den Berg. That s how we keep learning. We can establish more easily whether plants are suffering stress, or if there is a chance of pests and diseases striking. Based on the data collected, we can for instance control our vents better. Irrigation and pest control measures can be optimised this way. If plants get what they want, quality and production improve The grower concludes: In East Africa, the use of sensors is vital. You can see what s happening in the greenhouse, and then test improvements. To measure is to know. This should eventually lead to a better climate and therefore higher yields and improved quality. 8 Green Farming p a r t n e r s f o r p e r f e c t s o l u t i o n s K E N Y A 9
7 E T H I O P I A Joint search for the best system to grow in stonewool Worldwide growers use stonewool to successfully produce tomatoes, roses and other plants. Stonewool offers several benefits for growing in East Africa as well, enabling economic and controlled water use and especially as a solution to the nematode problem. Jittu Horticulture PLC is currently looking into the options for using this substrate under local conditions. Growing in stonewool has become an integral part of modern production in many horticultural companies. It offers big benefits, for instance, the facility to adjust water and fertilisers much more accurately to plant needs. Jittu Horticulture PLC grows several hundred hectares of vegetables and fruit. Drain water can also be re-used, resulting in considerable savings of both water and fertilisers. Stonewool also allows for better control of the root system with regard to ph, oxygen, temperature and disease pathogens. Finally, stonewool is sterile, and there is no need to disinfect the ground. This means less work and also a reduction in chemical agent use. With crops easier to control in stonewool, production is more uniform and of better quality. Stonewool substrates can offer a solution for the nematode problem But there is no experience of growing in stonewool in East Africa yet. Together with a stonewool supplier, vegetable grower Jittu Horticulture PLC has now started a trial, testing an adapted crop system with stonewool on some 2500 m 2. Dutch expert advisers are partnering in this field trial. Simultaneously, solutions to re-use stonewool as a base material are being developed. Nematodes With farms in Holeta, Debre Zeit, Koka and Awassa, Jittu Horticulture PLC is one of the largest vegetable growers in Ethiopia. The company was founded in 2006 and now produces several hundreds of hectares of vegetables and fruit, grown both in the open field and in greenhouses. Some 46 different types of products are Tomatoes are grown on high wires to increase yields. grown for export, amongst others to the United Emirates and Saudi-Arabia. The stonewool trial is run in Awassa. In Awassa Jittu has twenty hectares of modern greenhouses growing tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, cucumbers and peppers. Manager Jan Prins says: We would like to be just as efficient in Ethiopia as growers are in The Netherlands. We also strive to supply top quality, and therefore work with Dutch varieties and technology, for instance growing tomatoes on high wires. Another vital consideration is to use water and fertilisers as economically as possible. Stonewool makes this possible. The most important reason for growing away from the soil however is the big problem with nematodes. Prins: We have nematodes galore here. You therefore have to disinfect the ground by treating it with steam or with pesticides. Steaming is very labour-intensive and we don t really want chemicals in the environment. Besides, you cannot always get the pesticides in Ethiopia either. Suitability The stonewool trial is run in a tomato greenhouse. We start growing tomatoes in stonewool, but I think that we will eventually grow all vegetables out of the soil, says Prins. We are developing crop systems suited for African conditions. In our trial, stonewool is therefore placed on the ground. We are draining to a central gutter between rows, catching drainwater for recirculation. This system is quite different from the Dutch method, where stonewool is placed in hanging gutters. For Ethiopia, this is too expensive, and not necessary either, as we have enough labour here, explains the crop manager. The trial is closely monitored by a crop advisor. He will undertake weekly plant measurements and collect all harvest data, too. A comparison will be made with a plot with cultivation in the soil. All data will then be analysed in a management program by DLV Plant. I expect much from this trial, concludes Prins. I learn something every day, and the support provided by the experts is very useful. Jittu Horticulture PLC has built twenty hectares of modern greenhouses in Awassa. 10 Green Farming p a r t n e r s f o r p e r f e c t s o l u t i o n s E T H I O P I A 11
8 E t h i o p i a & K e n y a Efficient chains ensure fresh produce from farm to customer much during bundling. And a vegetable farm with many different types of produce in the processing hall requires an efficient workflow. You therefore must think carefully about the design of your processing and packaging lines, and intense staff support safeguards that they work in the correct manner. Care for fresh produce doesn t stop the moment it is harvested. Quality must be preserved during processing, storage and transport. This requires quick, efficient and clean processing. Technology can help with this. What is fresh must remain fresh. This applies to flowers as well as fruit and vegetables. Producers spend months growing a good product, yet flaws during storage and transport can cause serious damage to quality in just one day. Speed and timely delivery are essential in today s business That s why it is important to pay much attention to produce after harvesting. Quality starts to deteriorate at the very moment you cut flowers or harvest vegetables and fruits. The challenge is to minimize this quality loss to the minimum up to the moment of consuming. This is especially true in the case of produce from East Africa as it must cross long distances, says Tjeerd de Looze of UFO Supplies. Poor post harvest handling has disastrous effects. Poor quality produce loses you a customer in much less time than it takes to make him return with a good product. Clean and careful Hygiene during processing is the first prerequisite to prevent fungi and bacteria growth. Fruit and Fruit and vegetable growers processing their own produce must keep their produce and waste streams separate. vegetable growers processing their own produce must therefore keep their produce and waste streams separate. Also flower growers have to care for their products. Preventing damage is essential. For instance, there are special holders for cut flowers to ensure the individual flowers do not damage each other, reducing the risk of botrytis. Equal important is to give immediately after harvesting special nutrients to the flowers. Efficient workflow The time between produce being harvested and its leaving the site must be as short as possible. That requires good planning and organisation, says Joost van Klink of Celtic Koeling. Flowers for instance, may not be touched and moved too Cold chain Fresh produce stays better fresh at cold temperatures. So it is necessary to provide cooling during storage and transport. The temperature of the produce should be kept at two degrees Celsius and never be more than four degrees Celsius. Any deviances from this will have negative impact on the quality. Interrupting the cold chain should be prevented at any cost. It is advisable to disinfect the air to prevent decay caused by bacteria and fungi. There are also specific techniques to prevent excessive respiration by fresh products during transport. This will counteract the aging process. Special measuring equipment can trace Leaves and thorns are removed before packaging. Preventing damage during transport is essential to reducing the risk of botrytis. any potential problems. Applying the right set of techniques in combination with an efficient and fast logistic chain make it quite well possible to keep produce fresh. Transport Shipping needs to be well organised. Speed and timely delivery are essential in today s business. We help growers with all the formalities. Documents must be in order to prevent waits, says Moniek van de Put, of J. van de Put Fresh Cargo Handling. We ship fragile produce. Therefore we make sure that the environment is perfect for all the individual products in case of mixed freights. Growers have to trust us to look after their produce carefully. Providing an efficient chain from harvest to the moment of sale ensures produce retains its optimum quality. All those concerned can help with this. Technology and communication are vital to ensuring produce stays fresh, from farm to customer. 12 Green Farming p a r t n e r s f o r p e r f e c t s o l u t i o n s E T H I O P I A & K E N Y A 13
9 E T H I O P I A Good equipment for better results Fresia Ethiopia grows a crop seldom found in East Africa. These growers started from scratch. To achieve an optimum climate, vents must open at just the right moment and irrigation must be just in time. A modern process computer linked to a measuring unit makes climate control easier for the grower. For crops which have not been grown in East Africa before, automation is vital. Growers introducing crops not yet grown in East Africa must discover everything from scratch, as they can t just rely on their fellow growers experience. Automation is then a vital tool. In the start-up phase, a computer provides the required basic information, and later during the cropping period, automation can take much work off a grower s hands. Partners in Green Farming can support growers who are starting with a new crop in East Africa. Martin Helmich says on behalf of the partners: You must take many factors into account when starting a new business. It s not just all sorts of regulations and licences to be taken into account, but also the need to arrange finance, find suitable staff, etc. Growers then must familiarise themselves with the crop and come to grips with technology. With regard to the latter, we can assist businesses with their automation. After all, without measuring and registration, growers do not have the information they need. We supply computers and software enabling them to track temperature, humidity and light intensity. Based on these data, climate and irrigation can then be optimised, resulting in high-quality products. Fresias Fresia Ethiopia is one of the farms growing a crop seldom found in East Africa. After preliminary research in a trial greenhouse, the initiators - the Ethiopian investors Samrawit and Thomas Moges - took the step of cooperating with a group of six Dutch fresia growers. They constructed a nursery of three hectares using the latest equipment. Samrawit Moges is happy with this cooperation, saying: Two heads are better than one. We know the regulations and mentality in Ethiopia. The Dutch introduce their know-how about flower crops. Mathieu Barendse, manager with Fresia Ethiopia, is also content: The Ethopian highlands provide ideal growing conditions for fresias. The soil is also very suitable for fresias, so we had a good feeling right from the start. Computer is indispensable for the collection of information The fresia farm is now run by three local managers. Barendse: We have a good cooperation, and we have regular meetings with our investors and local managers. Business is running well. Automatic ventilation The Dutch growers have undertaken thorough research before they built in the highlands. After the first trials, we were convinced that we needed the best available equipment to make this project a real success. We have constructed modern tunnel greenhouses with good ventilation, and also bought a steam boiler to disinfect the soil. The investment not only involved greenhouses Computer registration provides valuable insights. A weather station installed five meters above the greenhouse provides information on radiation, wind speed, outside temperature and humidity. and soil disinfection facilities but also modern process automation. A weather station has been installed five meters above the greenhouse. Every section has got its own measuring unit to provide information about the temperature, the amount of light and humidity. Based on these measurements, the climate computer now regulates the position of the vents fully automatically. Irrigation and fertiliser dosing are totally automated as well. This saves an enormous amount of work and provides a balanced climate, says the fresia grower. Learning together We still have to learn. Registering climate data via the computer is vital. Another benefit is that, in nearby future, we can view these data remotely via a wireless internet connection. We can always consult with our managers about what is happening in the greenhouse, even if we aren t in the Ethiopia. Thanks to all the insights provided by the computer our African partners and we are learning together every day, says Barendse in conclusion. 14 Green Farming p a r t n e r s f o r p e r f e c t s o l u t i o n s E T H I O P I A 15
10 E T H I O P I a Quality roses are grown with integrated pest management can take these along into the greenhouse and can then name any insects and moulds found. Ed Moerman of Koppert says: We provide intensive support to farmers switching to IPM. Every three to four weeks, we visit the farm for backstopping. Koppert is employing a local consultant for this. Pest and diseases are serious problems when growing roses. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) offers a good alternative to solely pesticide use. Experiences with IPM are good. Spider mites, the most widespread pest in rose, are brought under control. Moreover, the crop produces more flowers, longer stems and better-looking buds. Just like anywhere else in the world, chemicals are no longer the answer to pests and diseases in East Africa. They affect the crop, the workers and the environment. In addition, many pesticides are less effective, as pests are becoming resistant to them. It also appears polyethylene greenhouses are affected by such chemicals. Moreover, consumers increasingly demand environmentally-friendly grown products. Scouts are instructed on how to monitor pests in the crop. Alternatives to chemicals must be developed, such as Integrated Pest Management (IPM). That is why the Ethiopian Horticulture Producer Exporters Association (EHPEA) and the Ethiopian Government have put the introduction of IPM high on the agenda. In the framework of the public-private Ethiopia-Netherlands Horticulture Partnership a program is implemented in which Ethiopian en Dutch researchers assist the sector in testing and implementing IPM strategies. They are cooperating, among others, with experts from Koppert BV, suppliers of beneficial predators, and Wageningen University and Research centre. Consumers increasingly demand environmentally-friendly grown flowers In November 2007, the ET Highlands rose farm first started IPM-trials. Results were so good that in October 2008, ET Highlands decided to switch to IPM in all 23 greenhouses at their farm. Now this example is being followed; an increasing number of growers in East Africa feel confident to start with this new approach in pest management. Combined measures Dr. Eefje den Belder from Wageningen University & Research centre explains how it works: Predators are released in the greenhouse to tackle the spider mite problem. With IPM, different techniques are used to prevent pests and diseases from causing damage. It is vital in this respect to know which and how many insects are present and what is the infestation level of the disease in the greenhouse. Scouting the crop is crucial. If you know the pest pressure, you can release the correct number of their natural enemies. The greenhouse climate has a role to play in the success of biological plant protection. Den Belder: We have found that under local conditions in East Africa, releasing predators in the greenhouse is a good approach in tackling the spider mite problem. Of course, sometimes it is necessary to apply an additional selective soft chemical to control aphids, whitefly, caterpillars and fungi. Support Pests and diseases in a rose production must be regularly monitored. Scouts have to be able to recognise insects and diseases, and to quantify their numbers. In cooperation with Koppert Wageningen University & Research centre has developed training materials for staff, for instance practical instruction cards and formats. Scouts Reliable approach In 2008, J.J. Kothari, Dream Flowers and Oromia Wonders rose growing farmers also started using IPM. Manager Bhausaheb Kondaji Navale of Oromia Wonders explains why: We had big problems with spider mites. Backstopped by Koppert and Wageningen University & Research centre, we have switched from only chemicals to the introduction of predators. The spider mite population has seen a drastic reduction even in the first two months using IPM. He is happy with the results: The quality of our roses has seen enormous improvements. Stems are longer, buds are thicker, and the colour of both flowers and leaves is also more intense, which considerable increases productivity. But that is not all, Navale: We are less dependent on chemicals. That s good for the environment and for our staff, not forgetting that our customers are demanding sustainably grown roses as well. With IPM, flowers in the greenhouse show more intense colour. 16 Green Farming p a r t n e r s f o r p e r f e c t s o l u t i o n s E T H I O P I A 17
11 T A N Z A N I A Economic water use thanks to modern irrigation of the perfect climate. In 2005, this was the reason why the Dutch Fides organisation started producing geranium cuttings in Tanzania. They established their farm ten kilometres east of the town of Arusha. At an altitude of 1250 metre, there is now a quickly expanding horticultural zone, where some ten other ornamental farms have been established so far. a very suitable growing medium for plants. In kalanchoe and geraniums, water is applied via drip irrigation using micro tubes with pressure compensated arrow drippers. Chrysanthemums are watered from above and also irrigated from below using a drip line. The aim is to provide exactly the amount of water the plants need. Excess drain is captured and the amount of water and fertilisers absorbed is registered. We have to be economic with water, because we cannot re-use drain water. Growing mothers plants is subject to strict sanitary restrictions. Fides Tanzania Ltd. has built modern greenhouses for the cultivation of parental plants. A number of modern propagation farms have sprung up around Arusha in Tanzania. Accurate and precise irrigation is vital for these companies. Fides Tanzania Ltd. recently installed special humidity sensors. Plants now receive the exact amount of water they need, benefiting the quality of the final product. Cutting stock must be vigorous and healthy, and has to be uniform and available all year round. Propagation farms are increasingly moving to areas as close to the equator as possible, because Every single crop section is watered individually Fides Tanzania Ltd. is no longer just producing geranium cuttings, but now grows kalanchoe and chrysanthemum cuttings as well. The mother plants are carefully cultivated in twenty plastic tunnel greenhouses each 5000 m 2 in size. Cuttings are taken by hand, and are packaged and transported by plane to Europe in their rootless state. The production has reached an area of ten hectares. Economical with water From the very start, our goal was to use water economically, says managing director Bert Kuyper of Fides Tanzania. We therefore established a modern irrigation system, enabling us to water every single crop section individually. The combined us of water from a borehole and a river assures a steady water supply. Parental material is planted in plastic bags filled with small stones, so-called pumice. This medium is available locally and turns out to be Chrysanthemum cuttings are carefully taken by hand. Kalanchoe are grown in pumice, with water applied via drip irrigation using micro tubes. We must prevent viruses and bacteria from being introduced in the water, says Kuyper. Sensors The grower is continuously trying to improve irrigation efficiency. For this reason, a special humidity sensor system called Sensiplant was recently installed in a number of greenhouses. Sensiplant is a wireless measuring system to determine the humidity of the growing medium. The system records the pumice s humidity content and transmits this data to a computer at the office. The irrigation strategy can then be optimised, to provide the plants with the exact amount of water needed and at the right moment. It is a pleasure to work with the system, says Kuyper. Thanks to optimal irrigation, fewer plants are lost and the plants are of better quality. In addition, we save on fertiliser. We are continuously trying to optimise production. 18 Green Farming p a r t n e r s f o r p e r f e c t s o l u t i o n s T A N Z A N I A 19
12 Your partner for growing sustainable profits A modern horticultural setting requires expertise in order to take advantage of new technologies. Dutch suppliers have the capability of providing essential technological support for the practical implementation of such technology. In addition, service engineers are available at all hours to fix any breakdowns. Horticultural innovations from The Netherlands will enable East African horticulture to advance rapidly. Modern technologies make economic handling of water and fertilisers possible. Additionally, new methods of plant protection can reduce chemical use, and optimised climate control methods can increase yields. Dutch technologies and knowledge applied to horticulture will guarantee sustainability for People, Planet and Profit. Training Working with modern technologies requires new skills. We spend a lot of time supporting farms that work with new technologies, explains Francis Hoogerwerf from DLV Plant. We visit such farms regularly to give advice and to discuss workers questions. Besides farm visits, we organise trainings where people learn how to incorporate technologies in their management practices. Support Growers in East Africa can benefit from the guidance of experienced Dutch advisors. They can provide indispensable advice with regard to both current crop-technology developments and management queries. Additionally, experts from Wageningen University are giving support by developing know-how based on on-farm research and experiments. Service engineers are always available to visit farms to solve any problems. Service Technology requires regular maintenance. The program offers a unique option for annual equipment checks. This prevents growers from experiencing unforeseen difficulties, and they can rest assured that their systems will always function properly. Dutch products are of high quality. At times though, some parts may not work perfectly, says Dirk Sassen of Bosman BV, installers. We know that breakdowns are unacceptable for crops. We therefore offer local service for computer and irrigation systems. Expert installers are always available to visit a farm to solve any problems, 24 hours a day. Dutch suppliers will be your partner by providing durable technology to realise a sustainable and profitable business.

On the block in Beantown
GM Krueger and coach Burns held a press conference early this morning from the Rusty Bean to announce that the following players are available for trade:
D Igor Ulanov
D Jamie Rivers
F Shane Willis
F Anti Laaksonen
The franchise is looking for prospects/picks in return.
Rumour has it that the franchise may also be open to offers for Afinogenov, although nothing is confirmed at this point.
All interested parties should contact GM Krueger. The Hotline is setup, and the red phone is ringing.
Bobby Orr
Boston Globe
I'd be intrested in Laaksonen and maybe Willis... What type of picks are you looking to get for these guys?

London police detective Maeve Kerrigan has spent plenty of time at Murchison House. One of the many cement high-rise towers comprising the Maudling Estate housing project, Murchison House is home to a motley mix of society. From domestic abuse victims and elderly widows with nowhere else to turn to its flourishing criminal elements, Maeve is familiar with many of its occupants by name or reputation. But when a fire breaks out at Murchison House that consumes the top floors and leaves three dead, Maeve and her colleagues are startled to learn the identity of one of the victims. Geoff Armstrong was a wealthy, notoriously right-wing London politician - the last person they'd expect to find in a place like the Maudling Estate. And things get even murkier when evidence surfaces indicating Armstrong was murdered before the fire broke out. Was his death connected to the fire? To the other deaths at Murchison House? And what was he doing there in the first place? What Maeve begins to uncover will lead her on a terrifying journey through all levels of society, putting her very life in danger.
Jane Casey's next riveting mystery featuring beloved detective Maeve Kerrigan will keep listeners resisting the pause button from the opening scene to the stunning conclusion.
©2016 Jane Casey (P)2016 Audible, Inc.
"The best Maeve Kerrigan yet"
I binge listened to this title and really enjoyed it; I could have done with slightly less pining over her ex-boyfriend, but Maeve seemed to professionally come into her own, showing confidence that was lacking in prior titles and the fire plot had enough twists and turns to keep me guessing. The narrator does a good job tackling many voices and accents and was an enhancement to the story. I'm already waiting for the next in the series!
Sister Patti
Half the pleasure in this audio book is the talent of the performance. The rest is in the characterizations and the complexity of the story. I can hardly wait to experience the rest of the series. Highly recommended. A strong female protagonist with sharp edges, deep shadows and a mature sense of self.
"Love this Series and the Narrator!"
The characters are beautifully written and portrayed. Love Maeve's view of the world and her human responses. Can't wait for the next in series.
Mysteries are my favorite, but I love most any well written books.
"Love this series!!"
I listened to the whole series in a little over a week! I love the characters and am really sad I have to wait for the next book.
"Best Marge Kerrigan book yet!"
This was my favorite from the series. There were several stories within the main one. Very well written!
"Intriguing read"
I enjoyed this latest Kerrigan case. This was my first book of the series and I wasn't lost. Kerrigan investigates a fire and uncovers the stories of the people living there, but one victim was murdered. I also enjoyed the narration.
"True to form"
This book fell right in line with the rest of the series. The story was well thought out, albeit a little slow to get moving. Narration was awesome, as always!
"Love this series"
Love the way the author has developed the story line of the main characters . Can't wait for the next book in the series .
"The best series I have read in a while"
I love this series. I have a special interest in female detective series and I have read and listened to many. This series is my favorite. I also love the narrator she is excellent.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed this series"
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series, and I hope more will follow. Jane Casey did a wonderful job of creating all of the characters. I find this series to be very enjoyable. Sarah Coomes did a great job of bringing all the characters to life, giving each their own voice. I highly recommend this series.
