The Bus Exchange
This is the new Christchurch bus exchange. It's looking a lot more finished now with the awesome shaped roof.
This is the new Christchurch bus exchange. It's looking a lot more finished now with the awesome shaped roof.
Oh how I love Christchurch in Autumn and greatly admire the early visionaries who planted our wonderful trees (especially those in the Botanic Gardens and Hagley Park).
This scene is by the Avon River on Oxford Terrace – just opposite the building development that will be The Terraces. As you can see, it's a lovely spot to stop and have some lunch.
This rather stunning mural is going up on a wall of a new building on Kilmore Street. It's going to be rather stunning once it's finished. The artist is Melbourne-based Adnate
The new Mexican restaurant on the corner of Hereford and Manchester Streets (it's called Mexico), has this bright mural on the side of the building of Mexican characters. It was painted by artist Jacob Yikes (http://www.planetyikes.com). I really like the fact that murals are showing up on new developments, as it adds so much character to the city.
Comments Off on Mural on the Mexico Restaurant
Every time I walk past this cafe on St Asaph Street I think to myself I must go in there sometime. Well today I had the perfect excuse as I was working just down the road a bit and needed somewhere to have lunch.
The outside of the cafe really draws you in with the colourful planters and outdoor seating. But the magic is on the inside! Wow, what an eclectic mix of vintage furniture, artworks and décor, lots to look at. And the food and coffee was excellent too. And I wouldn't lie about coffee being good, I'd just not mention it if it was bad. Yes, bit of a coffee snob.

Install and Configure the MS ODBC Driver on Debian
This page is only here for historical interest; the updated guide is here.
This was originally written by my coworker Wes Malone and adapted to Ubuntu by my other coworker Geoff Darling. Basically it should get you up and running with Microsoft's official ODBC driver in Debian based Linuxes. Enjoy!
The Microsoft ODBC Driver (AKA the SQL Server Native Client) is Microsoft's official ODBC driver for SQL Server. Since 2011 Microsoft has provided binary builds officially supported on Redhat Enterprise Linux. The Linux sqlncli supports all server features of SQL Server, including Unicode and Multiple Active Result-sets (MARS). We ran into Unicode troubles porting our Perl ODBC applications to the FreeTDS ODBC driver, not to mention that some of our apps rely on MARS, which is unsupported by FreeTDS.
This guide is meant to be a more newbie friendly version combining the official Microsoft install directions and this guide for adapting the driver install for Debian.
Get Ready
Stop your apps first. I don't know if it would interfere with the process, but let's just be safe.
Grab the sqlncli11 package from MS.
$ wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/B/C/D/BCDD264C-7517-4B7D-8159-C99FC5535680/RedHat6/msodbcsql-11.0.2270.0.tar.gz
Note: If this link doesn't work, download the latest version of the driver for RedHat 6 from Microsoft. It may also be worth checking just in case they release a newer version
Install unixODBC
Starting with Utopic Unicorn (14.10) you can just
apt-get install unixodbc unixodbc-dev
then go straight to Driver Compatibility! –frew
$ wget ftp://ftp.unixodbc.org/pub/unixODBC/unixODBC-2.3.2.tar.gz
Get rid of any previous ODBC packages.
$ sudo apt-get remove libodbc1 unixodbc unixodbc-dev
This is a stupidly manual process because the Debian packagers have
woefully dragged their feet for many years on updating this package. If you'd
like to remove this step, please bug them
It looks like 2.3.1 is finally in sid, so Lord willing it will trickle down into stable/ubuntu in a year or so. –frew
Unpack unixodbc:
$ tar xf unixODBC-2.3.2.tar.gz
Now we can build and install unixODBC.
$ ./configure --disable-gui --disable-drivers --enable-stats=no --enable-iconv --with-iconv-char-enc=UTF8 --with-iconv-ucode-enc=UTF16LE
$ make
$ sudo make install
unixODBC installs to /usr/local/lib by default but the Microsoft driver expects it in /usr/lib. We have to let the system know we're using /usr/local/lib, so if necessary on your system, add the appropriate path to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig to update the linker path.
$ sudo vim /etc/ld.so.conf # add /usr/local/lib to the end
$ sudo ldconfig
Driver Compatibility
Let's paper over some of the differences between the RHEL environment that the driver expects and Debian. Unpack it and check for dependencies of the library.
$ tar xf sqlncli*
$ cd sqlncli*
$ ldd lib64/libsqlncli*
On my system it can't find libcrypto and libssl because of the versioning differences between RHEL and Debian.
[email protected]:~/sqlncli-11.0.1790.0$ ldd lib64/libsqlncli-11.0.so.1790.0
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffc971b000)
libcrypto.so.10 => not found
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f3bc6064000)
librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007f3bc5e5b000)
libssl.so.10 => not found
libuuid.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libuuid.so.1 (0x00007f3bc5c56000)
libodbcinst.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libodbcinst.so.1 (0x00007f3bc5a43000)
The version bump from 1 to 2 is an incredibly minimal change that's actually included in 2.3.0 as well. We haven't seen any breakage due to the modification. This is the reason we add the symlinks related to libodbc below. –frew
We need to add ODBC symlinks because unixODBC bumped their major version, but the native client doesn't build against version 2. The next commands should do that:
$ cd /usr/lib
$ sudo ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu/libodbc.so.2 libodbc.so.1
$ sudo ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu/libodbccr.so.2 libodbccr.so.1
$ sudo ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu/libodbcinst.so.2 libodbcinst.so.1
Add a couple of symlinks in /usr/lib and the driver can find what it needs.
$ cd /usr/lib
$ sudo ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.10
$ sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.10
Ubuntu is slightly different because the libs are in /usr/lib/$arch
$ cd /usr/lib
$ sudo ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.10
$ sudo ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.10
You can check again with ldd that all the libraries are found.
Install the Microsoft Driver
Now we can install the Microsoft driver. Run the installer with bash because the install script references /bin/sh in its shebang but expects it to be bash anyway. The force option will continue with the install even though we're missing rpm etc.
$ sudo bash ./install.sh install --force
# type q to exit the terms
# type YES to accept and continue with install
The install output looks like this for me, note the last line confirming the install:
Checking for 64 bit Linux compatible OS ................................. FAILED
Checking required libs are installed ............................... NOT CHECKED
unixODBC utilities (odbc_config and odbcinst) installed ............ NOT CHECKED
unixODBC Driver Manager version 2.3.0 installed .................... NOT CHECKED
unixODBC Driver Manager configuration correct ...................... NOT CHECKED
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver V1.0 for Linux already installed .. NOT CHECKED
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver V1.0 for Linux files copied ................ OK
Symbolic links for bcp and sqlcmd created ................................... OK
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver V1.0 for Linux registered ........... INSTALLED
Now test the install with sqlcmd. Connecting to an imaginary SQL Server should time out. Any other errors about missing libraries mean you should double-check your symlinks and ld.so.conf. On one install I'd forgotten to run ldconfig.
$ sqlcmd -S localhost
SqlState HYT00, Login timeout expired
TCP Provider: Error code 0x71
A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Serve
r. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is confi
gured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.
Installing Perl DBD::ODBC with Unicode support
Everything is installed now, but we Perl-ers need to install DBD::ODBC with the Unicode option enabled. It's disabled by default on Linux for now because of poor driver support. Once the default switches to Unicode on for sqlncli then this step can be skipped.
$ cpanm --look DBD::ODBC
$ perl Makefile.PL -u # enable unicode support
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
Pro Tips
- ODBC driver config is in /usr/local/etc/odbcinst.ini. The odbcinst.ini in /etc is a clever ruse devised by your previous ODBC install.
- Your connect strings should look something like
dbi:ODBC:driver=SQL Server Native Client 11.0;server=tcp:10.1.2.3;database=DB_TOWNE;MARS_Connection=yes;
- See that
MARS_Connection=yesup there? That's right, MARS is supported :D
2013-10-24 UPDATE: unixODBC 2.3.2 was released and has been incorporated
into the howto. Additionally mje recommended
--enable-stats=no for speed, especially since with the gui disabled
they aren't used anyway.

text: GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2012 was $11.1 million, compared to $18.3 million for the 2011 second quarter. This decrease was primarily due to an increased level of consolidation and integration activities, the costs of which are excluded from adjusted amounts. Adjusted operating income was $18.6 million, or 11.2% of sales in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $18.4 million, or 12.6% of sales, for the comparable 2011 period. Refer to Table A at the end of this release for a reconciliation of GAAP operating income to adjusted operating income and the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" section below.The 2012 second quarter GAAP and adjusted effective tax rates were 43.9% and 38.7%, respectively, compared to 33.0% and 33.3%, respectively, for the same periods of 2011. The 2011 effective tax rates include the benefit of the R&D tax credit, which expired at the end of 2011. Additionally, 2012 amounts include losses from our Swiss operations, which are deducted at a lower effective tax rate, thus increasing the overall effective tax rate of the Company. We currently expect our 2012 annual GAAP effective tax rate to be between 40% and 45%, depending on the timing of expenses incurred in connection with the closure of manufacturing operations in Switzerland. On an adjusted basis, which will exclude the impact of these consolidation costs, we expect our effective tax rate to be more in line with the U.S. statutory rate of 35%. GAAP and adjusted diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2012 were $0.16 and $0.43 per share, respectively, compared to $0.36 and $0.43 per share, respectively, for the second quarter of 2011. Refer to Table B at the end of this release for a reconciliation of GAAP net income and EPS to adjusted net income and EPS and the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" section below.

Some people have wild weekends, while others have their wild weekends taken from them. One wild boar had a combination of both in western Australia this weekend. A campsite discovered that the feral pig went on a drinking binge, downing three six-packs of beer. The drunk pig was later seen fighting a cow for some reason, then ended up sleeping underneath a tree. All in all, a very typical bender for a human, translated into a pig.
The incident occurred this weekend outside the coastal town of Port Hedland in what is known as the Pilbara, a very dry region in the state of Western Australia. The campers one night were alerted to the sound of a crunching noise, and when they shone a light on the feral pig, it was shown to be eating a beer can. It was later discovered that the pig had not only downed that beer, but 18 cans of beer total. The feral pig later went after a bunch of trash bags in the nearby trash bin, rummaging for food.
After this, the feral drunk pig, in its stupor, wandered aimlessly around the campsite, picking a fight with a cow at some point. The pig then ran around a camper's vehicle, trying to avoid the cow. Following this, the feral drunk pig went across a river, where it hid underneath a log to sleep off the imminent massive hangover that was about to happen. It then trundled around the campsite area before disappearing.
The local park service, Main Roads, is seeking the drunk pig, in the hopes of euthanizing it: Feral pigs are seen as an invasive pest in Australia, due to the various diseases they carry and voraciously eating the local crops. Main Roads suggest campers properly lock up their food and drink, and report any feral pigs to the authorities upon sighting them. That last part I cannot say I agree with though: Those campers, while they lost a lot of food, probably had the most exciting entertainment that weekend.

Amy Adams Supporting actress
The role: Pregnant Southern gal Ashley in Junebug
The back story: Adams steals the movie as a pop-eyed optimistic who is bursting with joy in this culture-clash yarn. Yet the actress, who refuses to give her age but is in her early 30s, is no novice. She got her start in the 1999 satire Drop Dead Gorgeous, appeared in such films as 2000's Psycho Beach Party and 2002's Catch Me if You Can, and has worked on TV in such shows asBuffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville and The Office. Now that Oscar has taken notice, she has finally arrived.
Fun fact: Used to be a waitress at Hooters.
Up next: The NASCAR comedy Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby with Will Ferrell, Aug. 4.
Terrence Howard Actor
The role: DJay, a patriarchal pimp with rap dreams, in Hustle & Flow
The back story: He won the National Board of Review's breakthrough award for his impressive volume of work this year, including best-picture nominee Crash and Get Rich or Die Tryin'. But Howard, 36, has paid his acting dues, starting on TV in such shows as Coach and Picket Fences. Since getting his first major role as a rhythm-challenged student in Mr. Holland's Opus in 1995, Howard has been a perpetual standout in roles big and small in Dead Presidents (1995), The Best Man (1999) and as guitarist Gossie McKee in Ray (2004).
Fun fact: Studied chemical engineering.
Up next: Idlewild, Outkast's Prohibition-era musical, out this year.
Matt Dillon Supporting actor
The role: Racist Officer Ryan in Crash
The back story: The likable, wiseguy-ish actor may be only 41, but he has been a regular on the big screen since his debut as a troubled youth in 1979's Over the Edge. He has been a standout in dramas before (1982's Tex, 1989's Drugstore Cowboy). His knack for comedy in such hits as The Flamingo Kid (1984) and There's Something About Mary (1998) might have worked against him earning award recognition. But the academy couldn't help but notice his hateful cop who experiences one of Crash's many transforming encounters.
Fun fact: Discovered when talent agents visited his middle school in Larchmont, N.Y.
Up next: A comedy, You, Me and Dupree with Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson, July 14.
David Strathairn Actor
The role: TV newsman Edward R. Murrow in Good Night, and Good Luck
The back story: Like equally admired character actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, Strathairn is finally being recognized with an Oscar nomination as a real-life figure but in a leading role. A pro at off-center and deadpan characters, Strathairn, 57, has been an MVP in ensemble pieces and a regular in films by longtime friend John Sayles, such as his debut, 1980's Return of the Secaucus 7, and 1988's Eight Men Out. With Good Night, he proves he can hold the screen with an intense stare and a cloud of cigarette smoke.
Fun fact: Worked as a clown in a traveling circus.
Up next: The Notorious Bettie Page with Gretchen Mol

King James 2000 or KJ2000 is King James Version or KJV brought forward 400 years. It was released in 2000.
Attributes of the KJ2000
The preface of KJ2000 home page quotes
The intent of King James 2000 is to keep every KJV word the same, unless a misunderstanding or a gross word order "error" (in today's usage) must be averted. All punctuation is left the same, including omission of quotation marks, in order to keep the rhythm and pattern of KJV memorization intact. Even the interpolative KJV words (normally in italics) are kept the same if possible. No "corrections" or "textual considerations" are taken into account, since the King James 2000 intent is to preserve the KJV "as is," except for truly necessary changes. Pronouns addressing Deity are not set apart by capitalization, but are kept just as found in the KJV, with lower case letters (neither is distinction made in the original languages).
Copyright status
KJ2000 is copyright © 2000, but may be freely copied for non-commercial use only.

For more than a century, mainstream science has mocked electronic healing. Those who use electricity to heal were labeled as quacks and frauds.
Micro-current therapy (MCT) is when electrical currents (at specific frequencies) are applied to injured parts of your body. It naturally provides pain relief and also stimulates faster tissue repair. It's truly fascinating technology that's been evolving and improving since 1893!
The Birth of Electroceuticals
General Electric had a number of electronic healing devices in the late 19th century. They were used to treat every part of the human body – from muscles in the eyes to the spinal cord. By the 1920s, barber shops featured such devices to treat minor cuts, baldness, and dandruff.
Well-managed electricity has a long-standing place in healing yet, you'd think using electricity to heal was the biggest scam of all time! As with all therapies (even the "accepted" forms), there are always the snake oil salesmen that make everyone in the field look bad.
That's no reason to dismiss an entire area of study without further study!
The forces against these therapies were strong and determined. Their reasoning has remained the same (then and now). Why solve a problem naturally or holistically when you can charge a patient a small fortune for a pill?
Even if the pills aren't as effective. Even if they have horrible side effects. The money is still good whether the men and women paying for them are or not.
A couple of years ago, I received a newsletter from Medscape. It's an online medical journal that I subscribe to. Normally, the information is pretty basic and in line with the mainstream medical opinion. Only, this time, it wasn't.
"As researchers gain a better understanding of the interactions between our nervous and immune systems, bioelectrical medicine is increasingly looking promising in treating numerous conditions, from pain to diabetes to possibly even cancer."
History shows us that every new holistic discovery goes through four distinct stages. Sometimes, the stages take longer and sometimes the cycle is quick. For electronic healing, it's taken more than a century!
The 4 Stages of Holistic Discoveries
- It's quackery and nonsense
- There might be something in it
- There might be something in it but where's the proof?
- We knew that all along!
We're between steps 3 and 4 with electronic healing and not a moment too soon! Micro-current therapy targets the same receptors in your brain that biochemical options do. In other words, MCT deadens the nerves that transmit pain the way analgesics (such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen) do but without the dangerous side effects to your liver and digestive system.
Electronic healing has come a long way and there's further still to go. So far, it's showing incredible results in the treatment of inflammation, pain management, epilepsy, rheumatoid arthritis, and even cancer prevention!
A number of laboratories have determined that signals from your nerves can control and limit the ability of tumors to metastasize!
It's about supercharging your immune system and other organs with electrical signals via your neurological pathways.
Electronic Healing and Humanity's Future
From the National Institutes of Health (NIH), "As of 2006, approximately 76.2 million, one in every four Americans, have suffered from pain that lasts longer than 24 hours and millions more suffer from acute pain. Chronic pain is the most common cause of long-term disability."
In the decade since this study, those numbers have gotten significantly worse.
Electrotherapy has stood the test of time and is now considered "respectable." That's due to the fact that there are simply too many positive studies (and patient results) to ignore anymore!
Huge university hospitals such as Johns Hopkins and big pharmaceutical companies like GlaxoSmithKlein (GSK) are getting in on this new/old treatment!
It's a huge shift in conventional medicine. Just a few years ago, the idea that electrical signals could be used instead of "real" medicine (drugs) would have been derided as absurd.
Today, the chemical approach is quickly discrediting itself. The ineffectiveness, cost, and side effects are making pharmaceutical companies lose their reputations as well as their stock.
While mainstream medicine fought to hush advocates of electronic healing, holistic practitioners were quietly developing a special version of electrotherapy that uses gentle low currents and gets amazing results. Homeopathic electricity!
Devices that operate on the basic principle of micro-current stimulation that releases on-board neurotransmitters (such as endorphins, serotonin, and acetylcholine) for a powerful internal "pharmacy" effect…without the drugs!
The procedure is simple and painless. Electronic healing is a not an electrical shock but a tiny electrical current your body responds to!
The FDA now approves these devices for injuries and pain management. In March 2015, Scientific American carried a cover story describing the new micro-current healing modality as "medicine's greatest revolution."
Seminars You Don't Want to Miss!
My wife Vivien and I would like to invite you to our Las Vegas home March 24th – 26th for a special micro-current therapy workshop, run by world-class masters John and Lorraine Hache from our personal Sanctuary.
There's room to accommodate a whole class of enthusiasts! You'll finish the workshop armed with medical and electronic healing knowledge to die for.
Pain Management and Cosmetology (Face Lift) are two incredible electronic healing workshops in one! Click to watch the latest replay.
After you book your spot, Vivien will help you arrange transportation and accommodations.
You do not want to miss this! Here's to an entirely different kind of healing and medicine – one based on the new biology and physics.

easyJet partners with CTC Aviation to deliver MPL with optional BSc Hons Degree
New CTC WINGS easyJet MPL Route includes optional BSc Honours Degree
For the first time, this ground breaking programme also offers trainee pilots the chance to opt in to 'the easyJet degree' and add a BSc Honours Degree in Professional Aviation Pilot Practice to their qualifications when they graduate from CTC Aviation.
'The easyJet Degree' - the first of its kind in the world – was launched by the airline's CEO Carolyn McCall when she was speaking at CTC Aviation's annual graduation in December 2013 –
"I believe that it is absolutely vital to easyJet's future that we have a pipeline of talented young people coming through and that's why I am delighted we are now working in partnership with CTC Aviation and Middlesex University to offer a degree course for our pilots. Pilots joining easyJet will be flying on a modern fleet of aircraft, with industry leading punctuality, high quality training and an unrivalled European network.
"By offering a clear career path with faster promotion opportunities, pilots joining easyJet can be confident of a long and successful career.
"CTC Aviation is one of our most important partners, having responded to our needs and provided innovative solutions to the challenges we have faced since our first flight in 1995. We look forward to extending our relationship to ensure the very best opportunities for our future pilots."
'The easyJet degree' - which is exclusively available through CTC Aviation - is an optional enhancement to the programme. Developed in partnership with CTC Aviation, the Aviation Skills Partnership and Middlesex University, the first two years of 'the easyJet Degree' will be undertaken through the normal 'CTC WINGS' syllabus and the third year is achieved by undertaking jet type-rating, line training and two modules of easyJet-centred directed study whilst flying at easyJet. Applicants are not required to opt in to the degree if they do not wish to. However, for those who do choose to follow the degree path and are successful with their application, it may be possible to access maintenance loans and grants to support your study through Student Finance England. More information can be found at www.slc.co.uk
Always keen to be at the leading edge of airline pilot training, in 2012 easyJet partnered with CTC Aviation to launch the Multi-crew Pilot Licence (MPL) programme for 24 cadets as a new Route through CTC WINGS. Such was the success of the inaugural MPL programme, the airline has decided to do even more and this will be the first of a number of new MPL programmes with CTC Aviation throughout the year; almost doubling the number of pilots trained through the CTC WINGS MPL Route.
The first 2014 application window will be open to applicants from the EEA from 5th – 18th May 2014 and offers the opportunity for 36 successful applicants to progress into training with CTC Aviation and ultimately be employed by easyJet as A320 First Officers.
Trainees on the programme will benefit from CTC Aviation's unique 'Performance Protection'. Early in 2014 CTC Aviation launched the new 2014 CTC WINGS ATPL Integrated and MPL Routes which saw this protection take to a new level with a number of significant enhancements*
1. Should any additional training (flight or ground), or aircraft for retest, be required throughout any phase of CTC WINGS training, this will be provided without additional charge
2. A money back guarantee in the event that training should cease due to lack of performance
easyJet's Chief Pilot, Richard Nanton will be the guest speaker at CTC Aviation's forthcoming Careers Event on Saturday 10 May.
For more information and to apply to the CTC WINGS MPL in partnership with easyJet, visit ctcaviation.com/

Investigations into the structure of cyclotron resonance absorption signals of free electrons in the gas phase have been extended. Experiments in which electrons were produced by chemi-ionization reactions of oxygen atoms with unsaturated hydrocarbons or by microwave discharges in inert gases show that the structure of the signals is largely independent of the nature of the gas and the mechanism of electron production, but depends on the detection power and the position of the sample in the electron paramagnetic resonance (e.p.r.) detection cavity. Existing theories have been tested and found to be unsatisfactory. The results suggest that the origin of the structure lies in the interaction of the electrons with the microwave field in the detection cavity but a detailed theory cannot yet be formulated.

Magazine redesign
Primary tabs
The picture at the top is too croped too much. Everything else looks passable
The lines aren't aligned to a baseline grid?! In the right columne, after the empty line, the lines become slightly higher.
Also I don't understand why the caption of the lead picture is using a different style than the caption of the in-text picture, and why the in-text picture needs a thin black frame (and why this frame doesn't include the bottom side adjacent to the caption block).
I second all points taken by henrypijames and chiefdzp,
and there are many more questions that comes to mind in this layout IMO:
- Why have you used 2 different blues in title, captions and lead (intro)? They are quite similar yet different (1) C=100 M=Y Y=0 K=0 (2) C=70 M=20 Y=0 K=24? Keep one color.
- Why there are 4 typefaces used - I think its too much for such project. Get rid at least of Trajan - it doesn't match to anything in there.
- Lead(intro) is too weak, shouldn't be aligned to center, it would be better if it wasn't set in small caps and its width would be better if set to equal 2 colums.
- Subhead ("Obećana i specijalizirana kirurgija") is too weak.
- I wouldn't indent first line after subheads and in the beginning of the article.
- Consider using a drop cap in the beginning.
- Margins are too small, especially inside one might cause the text in inside column extreme fall into the spine.
- The layout lacks any idea behind it.
- Some paragraphs in body are set aligned to center?
- I would suggest you to align body justify, and all other elements to the left (ragged)
- I've got impression the leading of the title is too large in comparison to other elements.
I would suggest you to start again from scratch - answering some questions on that layout: eg. who would be a reader of it, should the magazine look modern, aggressive or maybe calm and balanced, etc. If you find your answers look through magazines similar to your needs, you'll find out how other designers solved their problems - it might help you,
good luck,
I agree with everything Antoni's said -- except dropped cap, which I think modern page layout can go without just fine.

The out right decapitation of the Polish government by Russian forces in Smolensk has been inundated by misdirection, slight of hand, and outright lies.
In the case of Polish President's Plane crash in Smolensk, Russian Intelligence was sure because of the heavily wooded area and difficult to reach location there would be no eye-witnesses. As with all intel operations misjudgement and assumptions caused mistakes to be made.
In the video there are people shouting Polish words in authoritative and angry tone: "Calm down! Look into my eyes! Change of plans!"
There are clear sounds of gunfire. Make no mistake, the survivors were being executed by Russian/Polish-traders special forces.
The 10 official lies according to Leszek Szymowski, the former journalist of the weekly "Wprost" and TVP, the author of the controversial book titled: "Zamach w Smoleńsku," (Assasination in Smoleńsk)
1.The President's Tupolev airplane flew to Smolensk registered as an international flight. It's a lie: The plane was the governmental TU 154M, and the flight to Smolensk was registered as the military flight.
2.The crew of the plane was inexperienced and made fundamental mistakes. Ignoring orders of the air controllers and making an attempt to land. It's a lie: Pilots were professionally trained and had great experience, and the controller gave them permission to land.
3. At 8:41 am, after collision with a birch tree, the plane turned to its back and hit the ground. Power of the load factor killed all passengers. Nobody survived. It's a lie: Tupolev cut trees down, but to some point damaged, managed to make emergency landing in the mud. O8: 39 the strength of the bomb explosion tore it into pieces and killed some passengers. The ones, who survived, were murdered with firearms.
4.The video shot on the spot with a mobile phone by Wołodia Safonienko does not make any difference, and the sounds registered there, come from the explosion of the ammunition of Government Protection Bureau officers. It's a lie: Wołodia Safonienko didn't shoot this film. The sounds of the shots came from firearms, and the film is the evidence that passengers who survived, were murdered.
5.The investigation from the very beginning was conducted altogether by Poland and Russia, the cooperation was superb and it was led according to the highest standards. It's a lie: the Tusk government let the Russians carry the investigation and the Polish prosecutor's office could hardly say anything. From the very beginning the Russians did monkey business.
6.From the very first second, the families of the victims were provided with legal and psychological aid and could participate in all activities. All bodies of the victims were identified and transported to Poland.
It's a lie: families of victims have been humiliated from the beginning and had difficulties to get access to the investigative materials. The coffins brought to Poland were soldered and the families were not permitted to open them.
7.Polish and Russian investigators, bearing in mind importance of the case, diligently informed the public about the progress in the investigation and about the most important arrangements. It's a lie. From the very first second after the crash, it has been a well organised disinformation action. Both Polish and Russian investigators lied. The Russian MAK Comitee and both governments lied as well.
8.Russian Security Services didn't have the slightest interest in killing Lech Kaczyński, because in a few months he would stop being a president and would walk away into the political oblivion. It's a lie: Lech Kaczyński could win elections again. He acted against the politics of Russian imperialism, he tried to get Georgia into NATO. He reinforced the independence of Poland, contributed to dissolution of WSI (Poland's former Military Intelligence Services) and opposed the disadvantageous regulations of the gas agreement with Russia.
9.After the death of President Kaczyński, relations with Russia have been normalized, and relationships between both states have became eventually correct . It's a lie. Polish foreign policy turned into prorussian direction, and the servility of the government and the president Komorowski towards Russia have reached inconceivable scale.
10.The death of Lech Kaczyński was a result of the disaster being an effect of many ill-fated circumstances. It's a lie: Lech Kaczyński was murdered.
This deliberate assassination of the entire top echelon of the Polish government, including the Polish President was accomplished by the same organization with the same agenda as the 9/11 attacks within the United States.

Saturday Scrimmage highlights from UND.com
0:35 -- Offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock back in the trenches after recent surgery.
0:49 -- Nice use of hands by junior #2 Chris Brown to extricate himself from the jam of Cole Luke (#36). Brown became one of Notre Dame most important players over the last few days (if he wasn't already).
0:54 -- C.J. Prosise (#20) overwhelms #41 Matthias Farley in man coverage from the slot. If Cody Riggs isn't the team's nickel defender in September, I'll be forced to change my 4-0 projection.
0:57 -- Will Fuller (#7) wearing Riggs (#2) like a suit on a deep post. GREAT coverage by Riggs against a player that blows by most in the Irish secondary.
1:03 -- #12 Devin Butler holding, then interfering, against freshman #15 Corey Holmes (this was referenced in my practice report linked below.
1:07 -- #21 Jalen Brown goes hands-on to slow down #81 Omar Hunter, then breaks quickly on a late throw for the PD. Looked like interference to me, but I'm not a trained official.
1:12 -- Nice use of hands by #88 Corey Robinson to break free of freshman Nick Watkins (#19)
1:19 -- #87 is walk-on wide receiver and Fort Wayne, Bishop Dwenger product Keenan Centlivre catching an end zone fade against #47 Connor Cavalaris, who returns to lend special teams aid to the Irish coverage units. Cavalaris was a regular prior to suffering a concussion last September, then fought back intermittently but not to his previous impact level.
1:22 -- #18 Ben Koyack schools rookie Drue Tranquill #23 on a quick post route. Some day, young man…
1:26 -- Touchdown Chris Brown, who creates space with a quick step to the slant against #12 Devin Butler before breaking to the corner for the fade route. Butler never found the ball and Brown caught it as a result.
1:33 -- Looks like #24 Josh Atkinson with no chance against The Venus FlyTrap, #88 Corey Robinson who one-hands a jump ball "fade" for the score. QB Malik Zaire could have made it easier on his receiver with better ball placement outside.
1:43 -- Bobbled by #2 Chris Brown but caught. He'd have been lit up by Cole Luke (#36) in live action…
1:46 -- Amir Carlisle with a diving grab early in practice from Golson. Carlisle beat Riggs on the play.
1:50 -- Riggs allows Brown too much space to Chris Brown on a comeback route completion from Golson (the last two reps were very close in real time and earned Riggs a lecture on the sidelines)
1:54 -- Another Chris Brown comeback route for the catch. That'll be a major weapon for Brown and Fuller for defenses that fear their speed (For instance, if Notre Dame were to play, say, Connecticut.)
2:01 -- A wide open C.J. Prosise (#20) courtesy a blown coverage by #10 Max Redfield (happened while I was in attendance.)
2:09 -- Toe-tapper on the sidelines by Corey Holmes #15 and a PD by #9 Jaylon Smith vs. Koyack.
2:18 -- First taste of scrimmage (tag-off) action and Tarean Folston #25 takes the zone read handoff over the right side and encounters #38 Joe Schmidt after about 4 yards…
2:21 -- That's #9 Jaylon Smith murdering #25 Folston in pass protection. Holy Moses…Nice coverage thereafter by #31 John Turner on the smash route against the tight end.
2:26 -- Junior DT #91 Sheldon Day deposits redshirt freshman Mike McGlinchey (#68) on the turf. That's senior #56 Anthony Rabasa coming around the edge from the other side…
2:32 -- #8 Malik Zaire eludes #23 Drue Tranquill in space, signals first down after the play is blown dead.
2:39 -- Great zone movement by SLB #17 James Onwualu who reads #5 Everett Golson's options on a scramble to the left, moves his feet and records an end zone PD.
2:48 -- Zaire's designed roll left and end zone offering to #82 Nic Weishar is picked off by #22 Elijah Shumate…
2:57 -- Golson let's it rip to #18 Ben Koyack for the score. #88 Corey Robinson runs my favorite route, an end zone "wrap" behind Koyack -- that's a tough cover for a zone defense -- and if it's man, Robinson is a tough cover, anyway.

Tim O'Malley reports on the defense
Friday…on the fieldMedia was not allowed inside the walls for Friday's practice on August 15 (of course, media was famously outside the walls taking roll), but UND.com produced video of the team's linebackers.
A blow-by-blow is detailed below with a video link courtesy UND.com
Friday (Aug. 15) practice feature
0:29 -- Joe Schmidt (#38) and Jaylon Smith (#9) appear to execute the correct run fit inside, but DE #45 Romeo Okwara is controlled by LT #68 Mike McGlinchey and an outside rush lane forms as a result…
0:33 -- In zone coverage #5 Nyles Morgan follows movement to his right, effectively (and needlessly) doubling the slot receiver, #81 Omar Hunter -- RB Cam McDaniel finds a passing lane inside to split Morgan and fellow inside 'backer Greer Martini for a solid gain. #4 Eilar Hardy fills to make the tackle on McDaniel from his safety position.
0:41 -- Schmidt fires through his assigned lane against QB #5 Everett Golson as Golson runs an option play to the right side. Hands off, so we don't know if Schmidt would have wrapped up or been a tick late…
0:48 -- #9 Jaylon Smith in short zone coverage -- he won't pick off seven passes as did Manti Te'o as a senior in 2012, but Smith will ranks as the program's best cover linebacker since Courtney Watson reigned supreme in 2002.
1:10 -- Linebackers coach Bob Elliott discusses Smith's new role inside and out as a will linebacker -- lot of ground to cover, and a lot of action inside for Smith this fall.
2:00 -- Elliott discusses Joe Schmidt, and when a walk-on isn't really a walk-on. Elliott notes he recruited Schmidt to Iowa State during the latter's prep career at Mater Dei (). Elliott notes of Schmidt: "What makes Joe special is, he's the smartest player on the field. And that includes all positions, in my opinion." Elliott adds, " Joe's also intelligent when it comes to angles and how you play the game...Maybe he's not the best athlete, but he's one of the best football players. There's a big difference between the two. Being a football player and being an athlete aren't always the same thing."
3:15 -- Elliott on SLB James Onwualu, who, by recent accounts and words uttered, appears to have pulled ahead of junior John Turner for the lead role. "When he was a senior in high school (at xxx Cretin-Durham), he not only played wide receiver, but he also played a version of strong safety where he was down in the box or on the edge which rivals an outside linebacker position. When I came back from that game, I was convinced we could use him on defense at some point."
Elliott offers that though Onwualu was moved to safety in the winter, he worked as an outside linebacker in the spring (as reported here). Elliott adds that Turner is very competitive at that position and that he'll receive ample snaps as well. The veteran sage includes Ben Councell as a role player against power teams as widely projected.
4:40 -- Elliott on Nyles Morgan and Greer Martini, "Unexpected. Morgan is a great physical specimen. He can run, is physical, tackles. All those things are good. Nyles is playing the mike 'backer which is the most complicated, communication-oriented of all the 'backer positions. So this is going to be difficult for him. He's working through the issues right now. It's completely different for him…he's trying to master the details. That part of it is hard. The physical part…he's got that down.
"What I like about Nyles right now is he understands that he's way off. And he has a long way to go. He came in having been the top dog on his team for years and he understands now that he has a long way to go to get to the position he's going to get in.
Near the 6;00 mark -- Elliott compliments Martini for better athleticism than the staff thought he had and that he's really picked up the system quickly. Martini will back up Smith at the will. "A long smooth athlete, a much better athlete than we expected."
6:20 -- Fascinating stuff from Elliott (per usual). Martini didn't get any reps at Culver. He moved into contention because of his demeanor in meetings. "He appeared to be picking up the system quickly, so we fed him a few reps. He looked good. We fed him a few more, and now he's with the second unit. He's a quick learner, a good athlete. Very instinctive player. We'll put (both) on position where they can play on special teams and they can have an impact on his team.
6:45 -- Elliott to new defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder: "This is like having a team of rookies in the NFL. There's no two-year or three-year veterans in this scheme. They have to be able to digest this stuff quickly. The really faster learners are in front right now."

Robin Gibb Stomach Pains
November 21, 2011 by staff
Robin Gibb Stomach Pains, The Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb is battling liver cancer, according to reports. Gibb, who was reported to be suffering from stomach pains last month and was said to be in hospital receiving treatment for the inflammation of his colon, was diagnosed with the illness several months ago, reports the Mirror.
The 61-year-old singer has since cancelled several public appearances and was taken to hospital this week by ambulance, and his family have flown to the UK from America to be by his side once he was allowed home.
A family friend said:
Robin is not good and there is a lot of concern for him. You can use your wealth to call in the best experts but sometimes no amount of fame, prestige and money can change things when it comes to cancer. But Robin is a strong character, he is a fighter and has been encouraged by all the online messages from his fans. Dwina [his wife] is doing everything possible and hasn't left his side.
They went on to add: "There will be difficult times ahead but Robin will never give up and his living family will make sure he has everything he needs.
"There is frustration ahead because Robin has always looked after himself. He doesn't drink, eats well and exercises daily."
Gibb had sparked concerns over his health earlier this year when he was forced to cancel scheduled live dates because of stomach pains. His spokesperson admitted they had been "worried" and were uncertain if he was suffering from a recurrence of his previous problems.
In 2010, he had undergone emergency surgery and had part of his after he suffered stomach pains while performing in Belgium.

Efficiency equals competitiveness (Editorial)
(Nov. 10, 2015) Years ago, three workers in a feed store were unloading a delivery of bagged feed by hand into the warehouse. Two carried two bags at a time, the third one lugged just one.
Watching this unfold, the warehouse foreman shouted to the third worker from his office door, "What gives? You can't hack it like there rest of them?"
"That's not it," the worker called back. "They don't want to make the extra trips."
The story came to mind as what's being called the SAFE Trucking Act, an amendment to the long term federal transportation budget bill that hit the House floor last week.
Disappointingly, while the larger bill passed the House and awaits conference with the Senate version, the amendment failed.
The amendment would have given states the option to raise gross vehicle weight limits on six-axle truck and trailer combinations from 80,000 pounds to 91,000 pounds.
The increase in gross vehicle weight would have addressed a growing shortage of truck drivers nationwide and a projected 25 percent increase in freight in the next decade, according to Rep. Reid Ribble, the amendment sponsor.
"Safer, more efficient trucks that can carry 91,000 pounds as opposed to the current 80,000 on our highways exist, and our major trading partners already use them successfully," Ribble wrote in The Hill, after sponsoring the measure. "In Canada and Europe, many trucks are already carrying over 100,000 pounds safely on the road."
Last week, as the larger Surface Transportation Reauthorization and Reform Bill reached and passed the full House, more than 70 agricultural organizations sent lawmakers a letter supporting the Ribble amendment.
"In the agriculture and food industries, our farms and businesses are growing and making products more resourcefully, but outdated federal transportation rules force trucks to leave the farm and our plants when they are partly empty," the letter signed by the organizations said. "By giving states the option to raise the federal gross vehicle weight limit from 80,000 pounds to 91,000 pounds for trucks equipped with six axles rather than the typical five, the SAFE Trucking Act would safely modernize truck shipments on interstate highways by reducing the number of trucks needed to move our commodities and products through better utilization of existing capacity."
According to a recent U.S. Department of Transportation's Comprehensive Truck Size and Weight Study the 91,000 pound six-axle configuration is bridge formula compliant, would reduce pavement costs, truck miles traveled, fuel costs and carbon dioxide emissions, all while improving braking ability and maintaining handling characteristics.
For farmers the issue boils down to being more efficient, an absolute must to stay competitive on the national and world farming stage. Looking at forecasts in the grain markets, commodity crop growers will need whatever edge they can find to maintain profitability. Unfortunately, that edge won't come from the failed effort by Ribble and other bi-partisan sponsors.
Making less trips to the grain elevator or terminal market means more time doing something else in an already compressed harvest window.
Unlike the slacking warehouse worker, the farmer's work wouldn't end just because others worked harder and smarter to get a job done.

The U.S. component of the International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (U.S. ITASE) conducts radar studies to determine the internal stratigraphy and bedrock topography of the terrain along the traverses. To help in the selection of core sites as the traverse proceeds, the radar provides immediate information (to those working in the field) on ice thickness and the structure of internal layers. These data can also be used to site deeper, millennial scale cores (planned at less frequent intervals along the traverse), and to provide a context for selecting the location of the deep inland core (planned for the future). In addition to mapping the traverse route, radar is used to examine a grid surrounding each of the core locations, to better characterize the accumulation and bedrock topography in each area.
This radar system works as a complement to that operated by the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL). Theirs is a high-frequency radar, most suited to the shallower portion of the record down to approximately 60 meters (m); it can detect near-surface crevasses. Our radar system is most sensitive at depths below 60 m and is able to depict deep bedrock and internal geological layers deep into the ice. (IU-133-O)(IU-153-A)
Science Management for U.S. ITASE
Paul A. Mayewski and Mark S. Twickler, University of New Hampshire.
The Science Management Office (SMO) coordinates the effort developed for U.S. ITASE, the broad aim of which is to develop an understanding of the last 200 years of west antarctic climate and environmental change. ITASE is a multidisciplinary program integrating remote sensing, meteorology, ice coring, surface glaciology and geophysics. To marshal this effort, SMO runs a series of annual workshops to coordinate the science projects that will be involved in ITASE. They also establish and operate the logistics base that supports ground-based sampling in West Antarctica. (IU-153-A)(IU-153-B)
U.S. ITASE Glaciochemistry
Paul A. Mayewski and Loren D. Meeker, University of New Hampshire.
Among the research targets for scientists in U.S. ITASE are the impact of anthropogenic activity on the climate and atmospheric chemistry of West Antarctica and the variations in biogeochemical cycling of sulfur and nitrogen compounds over the last 200 years.
This 5-year project is conducting glaciochemical analyses of the major anions and cations to be found in shallow and intermediate depth ice cores collected on the U.S. ITASE traverses. The ionic composition of polar ice cores provides one of the basic stratigraphic tools for relative dating. These data can also be used to document changes in chemical-species source emissions, which in turn facilitate mapping and characterization of the major atmospheric circulation systems affecting the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. (IU-153-B)(IU-155-O)
Snow and firn microstructure and transport properties: U. S. ITASE
Mary R. Albert and Robert E Davis,
U.S. Army's Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory.
Not all valuable data are buried deep within the ice. The microstructure and bulk properties of snow and firn near and at the surface control the air/snow/firn transport processes; i.e., how heat, vapor, and chemical species in air are incorporated into snow and polar firn. Since many of the snow and firn properties will also affect how radiation in different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum behaves, such field measurements provide a valuable baseline profile against which to range complementary efforts that use remote sensing to map the spatial variations of snow, firn and ice properties.
This project does the field and lab work to characterize snow and firn properties along the U.S. ITASE traverses in West Antarctica. We provide field measurements of snow and firn properties near the surface (down to 2 meters), including surface roughness, permeability, density, grain size, surface-to-volume ratio, and tortuosity. In the laboratory, firn cores from as deep as 20 meters will be analyzed for these properties and for their microstructure. Ultimately, we will develop a transport model to elucidate the nature of the air/snow/firn exchange and the firnification process at the various sites along the U.S. ITASE traverse. (IU-155-O)(IU-158-O)
Hydrogen peroxide, formaldehyde, and sub-annual snow accumulation in
West Antarctica: Participation in west antarctic traverse.
Roger C. Bales, University of Arizona.
Atmospheric photochemistry leaves valuable traces in snow, firn and ice; it has been verified that the efficiency of atmosphere-to-snow transfer and the preservation of hydrogen peroxide and formaldehyde are both strongly related to temperature and also to the rate and timing of snow accumulation. Thus measurements of these components in the firn and atmosphere will provide data needed to study changes in tropospheric chemistry of the boundary layer over West Antarctica.
This project will collect samples and take atmospheric measurements along the U.S. ITASE traverses. The wide-ranging extent of these traverses will train the scientific lens upon a variety of locations, covering much of the west antarctic region, and reflecting a range of different depositional environments.
We will measure the concentration of seasonally dependent species (such as hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid, formaldehyde and stable isotopes of oxygen) on all samples and feed them into a recently developed, physically based, atmosphere-to-snow transfer model in order to elucidate the photochemistry that led to the depositions. In addition, data we develop on current atmospheric levels of hydrogen peroxide, higher peroxides such as methylhydroperoxide, and formaldehyde will constrain model boundary conditions and the state of photochemistry in the austral summer. (IU-158-O)(IU-178-O)
Mass balance and accumulation rate along U.S. ITASE routes.
Gordon S. Hamilton, University of Maine; Ian M. Whillans, The Ohio State University.
The polar ice sheets and the snow falling on them are important components of the global hydrological cycle. Yet, because of their very large size and remote locations, we have only a limited understanding of their mass balance (rate of thickness change) or the spatial distribution of snow accumulation. Work conducted as part of the U.S. ITASE seeks to improve this understanding.
This 5-year project involves measuring the rate of ice-sheet thickening (or thinning) at selected sites along flow lines, on ice divides, and along elevation contours. The measurements compare the vertical velocity of ice (obtained from precise global positioning system surveys of markers buried 5-20 m deep in the surface firn) with the local, long-term average snow accumulation rate evident in ice-core stratigraphy. Earlier work demonstrates that very precise rates of thickness change can be measured using this technique.
We are also studying spatial variations in accumulation rates, probing the link between snow accumulation and surface topography. Continuously operating, autonomous instruments will be deployed at several closely spaced sites that have very different slope gradients. The instruments will record snow accumulation, wind speed and direction, firn compaction and firn temperature. These results will enable us to test hypotheses of the physical processes of snow deposition and erosion.
We shall also investigate the ice flow effects on accumulation rates derived from U.S. ITASE ice-core records. At sites along flow lines, ice cores record the integrated accumulation rate history for a certain distance up-glacier of the core site. Changes in surface topography along this flow line will lead to apparent accumulation rate variations in the ice-core record. By studying local ice dynamics (horizontal velocities, surface slope) around each ice core site, we will be able to better understand the cause of accumulation rate variations in the core records. (IU-178-O)(IU-193-O)
Stable-isotope studies at West Antarctic U.S. ITASE Sites.
Eric Steig, University of Pennsylvania; James White and Christopher Shuman, University of Colorado-Boulder, Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research.
As participants in U.S. ITASE, we will perform stable isotope analyses of samples collected during the traverses in West Antarctica. Using instrumental and remote-sensing temperature histories, we will focus on the spatial and temporal distribution of oxygen-18 and deuterium in West Antarctica (where data are particularly sparse) and the calibration of the isotope/climate relationship on a site-by-site basis.
Our objectives are to
obtain detailed oxygen-18, deuterium, deuterium-excess, and stratigraphic histories in snowpits at most or all of the U.S. ITASE coring sites;
provide direct calibration of the isotope/climate relationship at each site, through a combination of direct (Automatic Weather Stations) and indirect (passive microwave satellite) temperature measurements;
obtain isotope profiles covering the last 200 years; and
use the results to provide climate histories at high temporal and broad spatial resolution across West Antarctica for the past two centuries.
These climate histories will provide the context to test relationships that have been proposed among isotopes, moisture source conditions, synoptic scale climatology, and site-specific meteorological parameters. They will also enhance our ability to interpret isotope records from older and deeper antarctic ice cores. (IU-193-O)(IU-311-0)
High-resolution radar profiling of the snow and ice stratigraphy beneath the U.S. ITASE traverses, West Antarctic Ice Sheet
Steven Arcone, U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory
Ice core measurements provide historical profiles of snow accumulation and chemistry at only the point where the core was drilled which - along the U.S. ITASE traverses - is every 100 kilometers (km). Subsurface radar, by contrast, provides reflection profiles of continuous horizons, generally related to density and chemistry contrasts; but their continuity strongly suggests that they are isochronal (that is, demonstrate regularity of period). Thus they can be used to track particular years between core sites and to provide a broad and more meaningful average of year-to-year accumulation rates, given the time versus depth calibrations from the cores.
This project is tracking these reflection horizons between core sites using high-resolution ground-penetrating, short-pulse radar. Our main antenna system uses a pulse centered near 400 MHz, which provides vertical resolution of about 35 centimeters (cm), and records reflections from a depth in firn of about 60 meters (m). During the first year of U.S. ITASE, we tracked some horizons for distances of more than 190 km and found depth variations as great as 22 m over a 5 km stretch. The variations are caused by surface topography, which affects local accumulation rates and ice movement.
We are also using a wide range of frequencies (as high as 10 GHz and as low as 100 MHz) to distinguish between conductivity and density as a cause of the reflections. The horizon tracking develop spatially averaged, historical accumulation rates; these can be correlated with GPS data to find the effects of topography upon local accumulation rates. In addition, the radar is also being used for advanced crevasse detection. (IU-311-0)
