Marc replied to Marc's topic in Energia - MSPThank you, that solved the issue!
Marc posted a topic in Energia - MSPHas anyone experienced issues with the msp430FR5739 experimenter board with the latest energia v 18? I can't seem to program it using the latest version on my windows 10, 7 or mac. I get the following error message: usbutil: unable to find a device matching 0451:f432 An error occurred while uploading the sketch Thanks!
Marc replied to Marc's topic in Energia - MSPIt would be nice to have something like analog_read(VCC2) to get the reading, similar to TEMPSENSOR.
Marc posted a topic in Energia - MSPHi! Is there a way to use the Vcc/2 source for the ADC on the msp430FR5969 chip using energia? Thanks!
Yes, another issue with the OPT3001.cpp (or is it?) is that instead of using the calculation methods of the datasheet, they use a shortcut using bit shifting to approximate the exponent multiplication constant. This is probably to keep the data as a uint32_t instead of a float. To get the exact data as the OPT3001EVM, I replaced the opt3001::readResult() function on 146 of OPT3001.cpp (and the prototype in OPT3001.h to a float) to: float opt3001::readResult() { uint16_t exponent = 0; float result = 0; int16_t raw; raw = readRegister(RESULT_REG); /*Convert to LUX*/ //extract result & exponent data from raw readings result = raw&0x0FFF; exponent = (raw>>12)&0x000F; //convert raw readings to LUX switch(exponent){ case 0: //*0.015625 result = result*0.01; break; case 1: //*0.03125 result = result*0.02; break; case 2: //*0.0625 result = result*0.04; break; case 3: //*0.125 result = result*0.08; break; case 4: //*0.25 result = result*0.16; break; case 5: //*0.5 result = result*0.32; break; case 6: result = result*0.64; break; case 7: //*2 result = result*1.28; break; case 8: //*4 result = result*2.56; break; case 9: //*8 result = result*5.12; break; case 10: //*16 result = result*10.24; break; case 11: //*32 result = result*20.48; break; default: result = 0; } return result; }
I think I have found the issue: In the energia opt3001.cpp code (line 77) the implementation for the register read readRegister(uint8_t registerName) declared the lsb, msb and result variables as int8_t. (line 79, OPT3001.cpp) int8_t lsb; int8_t msb; int16_t result; I changed this to unsigned, as they are supposed to be: uint8_t lsb; uint8_t msb; uint16_t result; The code now works. Thank you for sharing your library @@Rei Vilo, I was able to realize this by doing a side by side comparison with your code. I hope this will prevent any issues you may have with your project @@NurseBob!
I know how you feel @@NurseBob, wow nursing instructor at day, developer at night? Thanks @@Rei Vilo, I downloaded the SensorsWeather_Library and hooked up my sensor to the CC3200 launchpad. It works without glitches now! There is still a NAK at the end of the wire transmission, but the CC3200 seems to have no problem getting the correct value. I am more convinced that it is some timing issue with the energia wire implementation.
Thanks for sharing @BobNurse, it's interesting that it's a NAK instead of an ACK. I wonder if this has to do something with Energia's wire implementation? It's interesting that the USB messages also reflect 'missed' data reports. To see if the USB reporting had anything to interfere with the i2c, I tried an experiment where instead of reporting the received data on the USB after each i2c read, I had it so that the msp would log 10 data points, and then spit out the 10 readings via USB once the 10 i2c readings were completed. The results however still indicated that the data still was corrupted during the i2c reads (that technically had no USB interference). It really is an odd issue.
Thanks Bob, I really appreciate the help! I took a look at the OPT3001EVM module: It looks like it's reading the configuration bit, waits 13ms, reads the value, then waits another 45ms for the next cycle. There is no signal on the interrupt bit. Here are the captured waveforms. Instead of my sensor I mounted 2k resistors on the OPT3001EVM daughter board SCL, SDA and INT pins, then connected it directly to the msp430 as you suggested - oddly I am seeing that the configuration bit and the value are correctly captured in the logic probe, but when doing a Serial.print to the captured values on the UART it seems that the first byte for both the configuration bit and the value is read as 0xFF. So although the sensor is properly sending out a proper configuration register value and raw value (0xC490 and 0x1EDB), the msp430 somehow misses the first byte (0xFF90 and 0xFFDB). I tried it on the TivaC as well, and see the same results.
Thanks @@Rei Vilo, I am currently using the Energia OPT3001 library, and experiencing the same issues with the example code. I did purchase an educational boosterPack MK-II to make sure it's not a hardware issue, but so far the issue seems to be consistent on both the Wolverine and Tiva C launchpads with the energia library.
Thanks for the insight @@NurseBob! Yes, I do recall reading about the transient response, and have done a side by side comparison with the OPT3001EVM evaluation kit. I have tried experiments where I swing a light across the sensor rapidly across both the evaluation module and my msp430 board. The msp430 board returns a corrupted value, while the evaluation module responds with no problems. I have tried checking the "Conversion Ready" field before making a read, but I still get corrupted values read on the msp430. Also, I have checked the sensor signal coming from a logic probe, and the values do seem to come out as un-corrupted values during rapid transitions. It's odd that they don't on the msp430.
I tried various resistors (ranging from 1k-5k) but still no luck...under a scope it looks like the data is being sent correctly from the sensor, it just doesn't reflect the value read within the msp430 processor.
I will give that a try!
Marc posted a topic in Energia - MSPHi, does anyone have experience with the OPT3001 sensor using custom hardware or interfacing to the msp430 launchpad? I have a sensor on the TI opt3001EVM daughter board, with the SDA pins and SCL pins connected to vdd via 10k resistor, for a msp430fr5969 wolverine launchpad - I am able to read the data from the sensor, but every time I rapidly change a test light source (flash a light on the sensor, or put my hand to cover it), I get a corrupted reading (it reads FFxx). I currently have it set to poll at 100ms, and at autoscale with no mask. The autoscale does work, it's just during transition periods the first byte is read 0xFF. The sensor works fine using the TI OPT3001EVM module. Thanks for any insight or help! The configuration register is set to the following value - 0b1100010000010000 - Automatic full scale setting mode - 100ms conversion time - Continuous conversion mode - Mask field disabled - latched mode enabled
Marc replied to Rhys's topic in Energia - TivaC/CC3XXXJust curious, has there been any progress on this matter? Has anyone tried packaging a usb_dev_serial.c type application for energia?

While much of the focus from the Peter Moody stables at Caulfield Guineas Day this Saturday will be on resuming megastar Black Caviar in the Schillaci Stakes, another Moody-trained mare is capturing the punters' attention with King's Rose opening favourite to win the Toorak Handicap 2011.
Running as Caulfield Race 6 at 2:40pm (EDT), the $350,000 Group 1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) drew a crack final field of 14 middle-distance gallopers lead by Moody's former Kiwi mare King's Rose.
Undefeated down under having won her opening two starts this season, Redoute's Choice four-year-old King's Rose is also a Group 1 winner back in her homeland having won the NZ Thousand Guineas over the mile last November.
Toorak Handicap odds opened at our preferred online bookmaker Luxbet yesterday, King's Rose the $4.60 favourite after drawing the inside alley to become the fourth mare in five years to win the feature, and the third on the trot following on from Allez Wonder (2009) and More Joyous (2010).
One of the big Toorak Handicap 2011 betting market movers over the past 24 hours is a stablemate to the favourite, the fellow Moody-trained Luen Yat Forever cunched in from $8 to $6 at Luxbet.
Also drawn favourably in gate three, like King's Rose Luen Yat Forever is heading towards a run in the $3 million Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley on October 23.
The imported Honours List six-year-old will be third-up for the season on Saturday and comes off an eye-catching fifth to Toorak Toff in the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on September 24.
There three other Toorak Handicap 2011 hopes at single-figure odds to win:
- Fast Clip ($7.50 into $6.50 Luxbet) – Snippetson four-year-old out to give trainer Gai Waterhouse back-to-back Toorak Handicap wins
- Toorak Toff ($6.50 out to $8 Luxbet) – Out to become the fourth horse since 1986 to complete the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes – Toorak Handicap double
- Torio's Quest ($9 Luxbet) – Trainer has given the ultimatum of a top three finish in the Toorak or no Cox Plate 2011
Meanwhile, another horse getting love from the punters in the Toorak Handicap markets is triple Group 1 winning mare Yosei.
Yosei remains at a juicy double-figure price in the Toorak Handicap odds at Luxbet but has been well-backed in from $31 to $26, the Stuart Webb-trained mare looking to improve on her two disappointing runs this season but one of the only runners to have won at the track and distance.
Below you will find the latest Fixed Win Toorak Handicap 2011 odds courtesy of Luxbet.

Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) is an indie horror game by Scott Cawthon that became a viral hit. The game centers around the player trying to not be killed by murderous animatronics. FNAF now has four sequels, an RPG spin off called FNAF World, its own line of merchandise, and even an upcoming movie.
As a new FNAF spin off called Sister Location was recently revealed, I sighed and asked myself "Really, another one?" I then wondered if fans are ever going to get tired of the franchise. While I did like FNAF when the first games were released, I ended up having a love-hate relationship with the franchise, and here's why.
Why I Loved FNAF
The game uniquely instills terror. Unlike most other horror games, which are based off of either fighting the enemy or escaping from them, FNAF renders the player completely helpless. There's a sense of apprehension as you sit in a room, waiting and watching as the deadly animatronics approach. The apprehension becomes panic when you can't find one of the animatronics. Then the panic turns to full terror when you realize that the animatronic that you were looking for was in the room with you the entire time. The game's creepy and grungy art style also adds to the unnerving atmosphere.
The obscure story behind the game is intriguing. The game's backstory is hinted at throughout the series. The story revolves around a murder mystery, however only bits and pieces of it is revealed through easter eggs, mini games, and cut scenes. The ambiguous story has inspired hundreds of fan theories trying to solve the game's mysterious story.
The characters are creepy yet lovable. The animatronics are all trying to kill the player, but even so, fans of the game find the characters to be oddly endearing. My personal favorite character is Foxy, the pirate-fox animatronic, due to an interesting fan theory where he is actually a good character that tries to help the player.
Why I Hate FNAF
Jumpscares are the cheapest kind of scare. FNAF is filled with jumpscares, but the games only use jumpscares to punish the player for making mistakes. However, the third and fourth games feel very dependent on jumpscares. The third game uses jumpscares very often, and all of the animatronics in the fourth game look overly horrifying purely for jumpscares.
The game can get ridiculously hard and frustrating. It gets to a point when the game changes from scary to just frustrating because the player keeps dying. The game gets difficult because the animatronics become unrelenting dependent on RNG. There are even moments in the first game where the light and door panels just stop working, and there's nothing the player can do to stop their impending death. In the second game, the player has to continuously keep a music box winded or else they will get attacked, which makes the game stressful. In the third game, the animatronics are constantly interfering with the controls, which also gets stressful and annoying.
It was all just a dream? The fourth game implies that all the events of the previous games were all just the nightmares of a scared child. The problem is that the "all just a dream" ending is seen as cliche and disregards the events of the previous games. But since the game's story has yet to be revealed, it is uncertain how much truth is behind the dream theory.
The series feels milked. With all of its sequels, spin offs, and even merchandise, I felt that FNAF was just using its popularity as an excuse to make more games. There are also YouTubers that milk FNAF's popularity, making tons of videos on anything and everything FNAF related.
Five Night's at Freddy's was a fun game when it started and I respect Scott Cawthon's work, but I feel that the franchise has reached its end and it's time to put it away.

2002 Detroit Auto
Show by TCC Team

The situation continues to get worse in terms of excess global production capacity, noted auto analyst William Pochiluk, of AutoCompass. With new car demand slipping around the world, and likely to drop notably in the U.S. this year, Pochiluk estimates there's the equivalent of "95 modern assembly plants' worth of excess capacity worldwide." That would be enough to more than supply the U.S. market, he added. There've been only modest reductions made in recent years, and more than enough new capacity to replace what's been taken off-line. That's one reason Volkswagen is unlikely to build a new plant in the U.S. anytime soon, cautioned VW Board Member Jens Neumann. Many analysts expect Ford to shutter some of its plants as part of its upcoming turnaround plan, though COO Nick Scheele is offering hints that might not happen. Meanwhile, GM CEO Rick Wagoner said his company could address its own overcapacity in North America by trimming production, rather than closing any assembly plants.
2002 Land Rover Range RoverEnlarge Photo
It's not a good idea holding your breath waiting for new models from Land Rover. The automaker has only introduced eight of them in its half-century existence, and only three versions of its flagship SUV, the Range Rover. That drought ended on Tuesday, when the British marque unveiled the newest Range Rover, which will go on sale in Europe next month, and reach North American shores by June. "We feel this vehicle will totally transform Land Rover's reputation," declared Wolfgang Reitzle, the head of the Premier Automotive Group of Ford Motor Co., which owns the U.K. company. The new Range Rover is equipped with a 4.8-liter V-8 and full-time all-wheel-drive. Not a single dimension has been carried over, Reitzle noted, and even the badge has been subtly redesigned. But more than anything, Ford has focused on fixing Land Rover's endemic quality problems: it traditionally ranks in the bottom tier, often behind the Koreans. "The only way to spoil (the launch), Reitzle admitted, "would be bad quality." Ironically, development work on the new Range Rover began when the carmaker was owned by BMW, where Reitzle was, at the time, second-in-command. Land Rover was sold to Ford about the same time the executive left BMW. In his new position, he was able to finish work on the vehicle.
2002 BMW 760LiEnlarge Photo
Borne by controversy, BMW brought its new range of 7-Series sedans to the Detroit show, and spearheaded its press conference with the 760Li, the long-wheelbase bruiser with BMW's new V-12 engine. The 6.0-liter aluminum V-12 makes about 400 hp and features direct injection and four valves per cylinder. A six-speed automatic harnesses the power and helps it rocket from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9, BMW says. Top speed is 155 mph. The center console features BMW's iDrive controller, a controversial joystick device that controls many of the car's secondary functions, like navigation and climate control. Critics have taken issue with iDrive and with the car's rear styling.
2002 Bentley Arnage TEnlarge Photo
Does Bentley have the fastest sedan in the world? So they claim with the latest version of the Arnage four-door saloon, which should be able to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds and should have a maximum speed of 170 mph. With a heavily modified 6.75-liter V-8 engine making 450 hp, the Bentley also has a body that is stiffer than the original Arnage, which was already the stiffest body shell Rolls/Bentley had ever produced. Bentley refers to it as the Series 2 Arnage, and the modifications will be introduced on the Red Label cars later this year. The suspension has been tweaked for the increased performance, and to help the driver cope with the enormous performance potential, this is the first Bentley to be equipped with an Electronic Stability Program, which uses an electronic brain to prevent loss of control.

Discussion in 'Original Pictures Forum' started by shadowrlc, Apr 4, 2009.
Just a few pictures of the 22' enclosed to go along with the 26' and some stripes in my yard. Enjoy!
nice rig! more pics? (inside trailer, mowers, etc.) were those stripes with a walk behind? thought i could see the tire track of the sulky. looks good!
It was cut with an Exmark Navigator. I've got a picture of the inside of the 26' but haven't had a chance to take any of this one yet. I've since added a shelf across the front for blowers, hedge trimmers, and small tools.
looks like you need a bigger one haha. That John Deere is barely in there
nice trailer, but how did u jam that jd mower in there? esp not damaging the walls??
theres marks on the wall behind it. but im just suprised there isnt a big hole there! and it has to be a ***** to get that out of there
Nice stuff but i cant belive you fit that jd in there lol.
Its actually a lot easier than it looks in the picture! I think its the angle I took the picture from. You can walk behind the mower. You figure the mower is about 6.5' long and the trailer is 8.5' wide so theres room to spare. I'll try to get a video of us loading this week! I can put the 48" navigator and 3 60" z-traks in the 26' trailer and a 48" z and 2 60" z's in the 22' trailer.
I'll take that 22'er.
Those stripes would look good if you hadn't used a Navigator/Walker style machine.
Maybe when those machines are used, we should refer to it as "pinstriping".

Unassuming—and largely unknown—Scottish musician C Duncan has found himself shortlisted for the Mercury alongside heavyweights like Florence Welch, Gaz Coombes, and Jamie xx. Naturally, he's loving every minute of it.
For the last few months now, Glaswegian singer songwriter C Duncan has been living under the mantle "underdog." There's good reason for this: His debut album, the fey and charmingly folksy Architect, was nominated for a Mercury Prize when no one within his small circle, least of all the 26-year-old himself, expected it to be. Prior to the nomination, C Duncan was a mystery, an enigma. Who even knew what the "C" stood for, much less what he sounded like?
"It's Chris," he explains haltingly, in his charming, soft-spoken manner on a cold November afternoon, halfway through a U.K. tour that's drawing bigger crowds than he had previously anticipated. "Or Christopher."
He refers to himself as Christopher, he explains, mostly when he paints—for Duncan is something of a renaissance man; he is fond of creating aerial views—and "C" when he sings. "I thought C Duncan, for a songwriter, was shorter, catchier."
Born and raised in Drymen, near Loch Lomond in Scotland, Duncan is the son of a violinist and viola player who between them have played with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and the Scottish Symphony Orchestra. He was weaned on classical music, but also The Carpenters. Perhaps inevitably, by the age of 16, he had turned rebellious and discovered heavy metal.
"But only briefly." He laughs. By 18, he was studying classical composition at the Royal Conservatoire in Glasgow, and went on to score soundtracks for TV shows. Pop music was merely a side project, but it has proved a particularly fruitful one, for Architect might well be the cheapest album ever to be nominated for so prestigious an award.
"It cost me about £50 [approximately $75]," he says, "and I recorded it direct onto my laptop. I had all the instruments already [including a 1940s classical guitar that had belonged to his grandfather], so all I really had to buy was a soundcard—and a lot of coffee."
Architect's overriding charm is in its delicate, almost hymnal nature, and Duncan's cascading, whispered vocal. Songs are wintry and wistful, and he sings as if pining for something he'll never find. He is already hard at work on a follow-up.
"I studied to become a classical composer, and that's still very much what I want to do: to make modern classical music. But this pop stuff," he says, smiling, "is very satisfying, and the exposure courtesy of the Mercury nomination, while entirely unexpected, is…well, it's nice. I could get used to it."

Everything Illuminated (formerly Dead Serious) met early on in high school and have been together ever since, making music and performing. After spending their first year apart as they all went to separate colleges, Matt, Ilya, and Brian reflect on their change in the past year and their aims for the future as the same, yet very different band.
Like them on Twitter!
Patty: Why the change from "Dead Serious" to "Everyone Illuminated?"
Matt: We stole it from a book called Everything is Illuminated but I don't really see a real connection to the book. I think that it addresses our idea of telling a story of emotions, which is our goal when we write music. We want to you to leave us, live or on a record, feeling something new because that is what music can be!
Brian: It's the collective spark of experience kind of growing into a general illumination. I mean it's more of an abstract the way I see it.
P: How did that switch come about?
B: I feel like this is a different direction than Dead Serious. We initially considered carrying this on under the same name, but as we sat down with it, the lyrical idea was very different. I mean the process is the same but the music is different, the sound is different, and really our overall approach is different. Plus with members shifting and changing perspective, it didn't feel appropriate to keep the name "Dead Serious." We have a lot of influences, we have a lot of different experiences from living in different places because we've all gone off to college. Because of this, I think that still calling it "Dead Serious" is not necessarily a logical progression; it needed a change.
P: How do you think college has changed you guys?
M: I think that it's been a cultural shift (for me at least), I've been in Boston, so being on the East Coast, there are actual seasons and people who come from different places. Hearing people's stories changed the way I think of the world. It'd be difficult to go back into something like Dead Serious where we had a really singular issue focus where we'd read a headline and find something that upset us and use that as influence.
B: And that IS a really big part of our difference. I mean these guys were kind of core group in high school. We had very unilateral ideas. But as we went off to college, made different friends and had different experiences- Matt went off to Boston, I went off to the Northwest, and you learn and you grow as people I guess. Coming back, it's all different.
Ilya: Basically, I believe it has opened a lot of doors in general to what kind of experiences somebody might actually feel. I personally had a lot of fun going into different disciplines such as philosophy, and it has opened a lot of doors, I've met a lot of new people, but I still like the core group within.
B: Yeah, the broadened academic interests also helped with our writing as well.
P: How did you guys meet?
M: Freshman year in high school. Heading down the story, it's really who talked to whom first and we really met in the early weeks of high school pretty quickly. We all met in band class. I actually met Ilya in French class. Ilya was the goof off in the room. Coming from Jewish middle school, he was just the most bizarre person.
B: This band formed with Ilya, myself, and Ruben Tierie- with the exception of Ruben we all lied about our ability to play our instruments. I actually didn't know how to play bass, nor did Ilya know how to play keyboard. So that fact that we actually developed into anything at all is nothing short of amazing. The idea is Ruben was the only one who knew how to play his instrument, and he brought Matt in because he was the only guitarist who could play.
P: Who are your musical influences?
M: We all have different influences that offer something to the creative process. For me, I'm a big fan of post punk like The Vipers, Joy Division, stuff like that. There's a scene in Manchester in the 80s that I find really interesting. It's taking something beautiful out of a place that's a concrete jungle and that really influences me to get out of bed in the morning to write songs. I like The Smiths, Stone Roses, Chameleons, New Order and other people like that.
B: I've always been a big fan of Nirvana, Sonic Youth, those types of rock bands. Recently I've gotten into Pell Mell, The Residents, Tangerine Dream, kind of a broad base of interests. System of a Down I've always liked since middle school.
I: I've enjoyed Dream Theater, Blue Oyster Cult and The Smiths for quite a while. I got into bands like Ayreon.
P: How would you describe your music?
M: We're still developing our sound a lot. As I said, this is a new idea and we're still feeling that out but we're sort of, to pin it to a genre, indie and post punk. What we want to do is we want to offer a broader range of emotion. At least for me, music comes a lot from where you're born and what your environment is and what you're exposed to. Regardless, what we're trying to do is give a broader range of feelings and emotions that we can offer from our perspective, from the Bay Area, so that anyone from anywhere can listen to it and feel something.
I guess on a superficial level, it's got a lot of short, catchy guitar riffs, driving bass and lighter keyboard. If you want a good indicator, check out one of our later Dead Serious songs called Panopticon.
P: What is your favorite part about being in a band?
M: I thought listening to the music, joining up with these guys was because I thought something was missing from music. I wanted to be a band on my ipod. It leads to a different expression of friendship. Being in a band with someone, you get to know them a lot better than just going to In n' Out with them on a Friday. It's like having a job, in the best possible way.
B: From the get go, I absolutely refused to play covers, I refused to do anything else. It's always been an expression of us. It's always been an expression of our ideas and our feelings. Those ideas and feelings have grown along with the band. It's nice to have a voice and your own identity.
I: I first started just to be in the company of friends but i think about what it's like to create and share experiences through music with the audience. I found it very fascinating and it's really a unique experience, definitely something new and would be awesome to share.
P: What is the most embarrassing album that you guys own/know by heart?
M: I have to go with Snoop Dogg. That guy can write bass lines. I don't even know what it is. It makes no sense to me, but he's a genius.
I: I really like Rise Against. I used to listen to a lot of hardcore stuff. Before Rise Against, it was Appeal to Reason. I literally knew that album by heart.
B: That's a really tough question. I don't really feel embarrassed by anything. I sort of embrace whatever it is.
M: He's pacing and making faces so…
B: I have no idea how to answer this. Those surf rock albums I have…The Woodies- Swimming in the Reverb.
M: That's pretty embarrassing.
P: If you could open for anyone, who would it be?
M: Joy Division would be pretty fun. It's a totally new thing, there'd be a sense of wonderment.
B: The Vipers.
I: I'd say Ayreon, just so I could say I've seen them live.

How to Read a Merger Agreement Part 1
How to Read a Merger Agreement
The merger agreement (sometimes called the "DMA", for definitive merger agreement) is an important step in understanding a deal. The merger agreement is the legal tool through which the parties distribute risks between the target's and bidder's shareholders in relation to the road that, hopefully, leads to the closing of the merger. The DMA is usually filed with the SEC within three days of a deal's announcement. Much of the DMA's language is usually standard, however, one should never take this granted.
Fully understanding the merger agreement will come handy if the merger process becomes tumultuous somewhere down the road: there may be a counter bidder emerging, the transaction may face unexpected regulatory hurdles, or the economy may deteriorate, rendering the strategic rationale for the merger obsolete.
We will explain how to review a typical merger agreement, and the key sections of the document.
This section is, in general, less important for cash deals. It can be important for stock deals, since this is where the collar, if any, is detailed, and it also describes any pricing period.
Closing and Effective Time
For both cash and stock deals you can find information related to closing and the effective time of the transaction. These are, for the most part, not essential, as they tell within how many days a merger closes once all conditions to the merger are satisfied. However, for private equity deals, this section could be important: in private equity deals there usually is a marketing period for the syndication of loans that finance the takeover. The marketing period could be important: it could delay closing of the merger and could have a negative effect on the deal spread (e.g. have a look at Article 1 of the IMS Health/TPG DMA)
Closing Conditions
DMA's are not binding on the parties unless the closing conditions are satisfied or waived (if allowed). In effect, they define the contingencies under which the parties are free to walk away from the deal. This is very important.
The closing conditions fall largely into four categories: (i) representations and warranties, (ii) material adverse change or material adverse effect (MAC/MAE) conditions, (iii) covenants, (iv) exogenous conditions (such as regulatory approvals). Most of these conditions are cross-references with other clauses and articles of the DMA. So every condition has to be analyzed and checked whether it is cross-referenced with some other clauses in the text.
Reps and warranties
These clauses are usually of less importance. To address the substantial gap between the seller's and buyer's information concerning the target company, the seller typically makes a set of contractual representations and warranties. It represents that these facts are true both at the time of the agreement and at closing. However, note that MAC is more than likely to show up in the reps and warranties section. In addition, in pharma/biotech transaction material, drugs could be references in this section, so be careful not to miss this section.
Most large acquisitions include a condition that allows the buyer to avoid closing upon the occurrence of a MAC. Definitions vary among agreements. They are usually subject to carve-outs for excluded categories of events (except to the extent that they have a "disproportionate" effect on the target). The carve-outs are very important. The broader the carve-outs, the more risk the acquirer bears. Carve-outs can range from general economic and political conditions, to market prices and revenue projections of the target.
Sometimes MAC clauses very explicitly define what constitutes a material adverse effect: for pharma companies, this could an upcoming FDA approval for a certain drug, or for an oil exploration company, a possible legislative action related to a specific extraction process such as fracturing.
For Delaware incorporated companies, the courts interpret MAC clauses narrowly, to encompass only unanticipated events or changes that materially and adversely affect the longer term value of the target. So, historically, it has been difficult for acquirers to successfully invoke a MAC/MAE clause.
The satisfaction or waiver of the seller's covenants is a closing condition. A covenant violation triggers the buyer's option to terminate the DMA. The covenant clause usually contains the so called "reasonable best efforts" language.
Sections that define reasonable best efforts give important clues to the original intentions of the parties, as to what they expect to do in certain circumstances. In relation to regulatory approvals, one can find the timeframe for regulatory approvals, whether the parties are willing to go to court if the deal is challenged. Reasonable best efforts language might also reveal how far the bidder may went to obtain financing for the deal.
Exogenous conditions
The two most common conditions are related to the financing and regulatory approvals of the deal.
The financing section is cross-referenced with a specific section on financing (apart from the reasonable best efforts language). The financing section is where any committed financing is detailed. Some transactions are funded with cash on hand, some by newly issued equity, and others through a combination of sources, which include bonds and loans. Of course, an investor can obtain a more thorough examination of the funding from a study of any credit agreements or indentures. Careful consideration must be given to the reliability of the lenders.
Exogenous conditions also provide a more detailed a list of regulatory approvals required for the deal to close. This condition is usually cross-referenced. The covenant section could limit the parties' ability to offer remedies to regulatory authorities. Some merger agreements limit the types and value of the assets that could be offered for divestiture to satisfy antitrust authorities. A lot of times, the regulatory approval process is the main reason for a fairly wide deal spread.
The key pieces in this section are the termination date (sometimes called the "outside date") and the termination fee. The termination date is when the agreement becomes void. It can have an extended date, which upon the election of the target and/or the acquirer, prolongs the agreement, usually for the sake of receiving regulatory approvals. Termination fees generally range between 3% and 4% of the initial deal value. Transactions can also have reverse termination fees, which are payable by the acquirer, and are historically as high or higher than the basic termination fee. The idea behind a higher reverse termination fee is to prohibit the buyer from walking from the deal.
Specific Performance
An order of specific performance requires a party to perform a specific act (in this case, complete the merger). Here is an example of a specific performance clause, from Silicon Storage Technology's merger agreement with Microchip Technology, dated February 2.
"Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any breach of this Agreement, each nonbreaching party would be irreparably and immediately harmed and could not be made whole by monetary damages. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto (a) will waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law and (b) shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, to compel specific performance of this Agreement in any action…"
Governing law
This is usually a standard clause, but could become interesting if the merger process hits a rocky road. One recent example for an interesting case is Apollo's acquisition of Cedar Fair. New York law is the governing law and venue for litigation. Choosing the laws of New York as governing law is a rare event for Delaware incorporated companies. A new research paper by Cain and Davidoff ("Delaware's Competitive Reach: An Empirical Analysis of Public Company Merger Agreements") evaluated the selection of governing law and forum clauses in merger agreements between public firms during the period 2004-2008. They found that, among Delaware-incorporated targets, 91% select Delaware law. So the question arises, which party gains by choosing New York as the governing law and venue of litigation? We will come back to this question in a later posting.

Classified as the New York Times bestselling author, Dan Brown's top selling books include Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code and Inferno. Yet the author has been known for several other books including titles such as Deception Point, The Lost Symbol, Digital Fortress, The Fifth Gospel, Holy blood, Holy Grail about The Shocking Legacy of the Grail & The Secret History of Christ, The Einstein Prophecy and more.
A short description of who Dan Brown really is, confirms that the American author of thrilling fictions is best known for The Da Vinci Code, which also turned into a box office hit at the movies. Born in 1964 the author says he is greatly influenced by William Shakespeare, Robert Ludlum, Leonardo da Vinci and Sidney Sheldon.
Brown is the son of a church organist, and a Mathematics teacher was raised on the school campus and claims that is where he developed a fascination for the paradoxical interaction between religion and science. He is the author of numerous number one bestselling novels when The Da Vinci code became the bestselling book of all times and quickly became a debate amongst scholars and readers. This book was published in over 54 languages and sold over 200 million copies.
He was named as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2005 by the TIME Magazine. His focus and interest in Christian history & Leonardo da Vinci have spiked tourism to Rome and Paris.
Capturing the imagination of his readers in the novel called Inferno, the author's riveting thriller is one in which he returns to his element and crafts one of his highest staked novels to date. In Angels & Demons, he describes the vendetta of the Illuminati against the Catholic Church. Two off Dan Brown's books have been turned into the most watched films of the century. Tom Hanks is the leading actor in Angels & Demons, and uncovering evidence of the existence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati in return uncovers deadly threats.
Films based on his novels started with the Da Vinci Code, which starts off with a murder at the Louvre Museum. Filmgoers were surprised by the conspiracy, a religious organization that protects a secret of over 2,000 years old and they learned about dogma, makingDan Brown even more famous as an author.
In Angels & Demons, Brown write about the Illuminati's surface from the shadows, he describes the final phase of the legendary vendetta against the Catholic Church, in this popular novel described as the most hated enemy. Described by critics as enlightening epiphanies of battles between religion and science, it's the dark truths that keep readers hooked.
Dan Brown now have a huge fan base, eager to continue reading his novels and those who were not slaves to his words before became diehard followers after seeing Angles & Demons the movie. Many bought the video release of the film, and it's the long forgotten secrets, ancient symbols and unanswered questions that keep them wanting for more.

The art of celebrating WWF's Earth Hour, with Freddy Sam and Plascon
To raise awareness for WWF's Earth Hour (23 March 2013), the World Wide Fund for Nature in South Africa (WWF-SA) unveiled larger-than-life artworks in celebration of the world's largest global mass action for environment.
The murals were inspired by the WWF theme #WeAreAllConnected. Created in Johannesburg and Cape Town by muralist Freddy Sam (aka Ricky Lee Gordon), the artworks visually highlight humankind's connection to and dependence on the natural world.
WWF-SA CEO Dr Mornè du Plessis says, "We are excited by the prospect of visually inspiring people beyond Earth Hour to continue to consider their personal impact on the environment and the part we each play in contributing to the protection of the planet. Our small actions all add up!"
The first inspiring mural was revealed in Maboneng Precinct in Johannesburg. This colourful creation was a product of community participation. A workshop was held, in which local residents and those in the area were asked to draw their interpretations of the message #WeAreAllConnected.
Of these creations, art activist Ricky Lee Gordon explains, "Art is a way of reaching into the heart of communities and bringing new messages to the social dynamic. We wanted to inspire an awareness of the natural world in these built urban environments."
As with the Maboneng mural which started with a community workshop, an open day for community contributions to the Cape Town artwork was also held. In Cape Town, local residents joined in the creative process and expressed their ideas on paper to inspire Gordon. The workshop took place at The Foundry on Albert Road in Woodstock, Cape Town.
The murals were created using both Plascon Polvin and Plascon Evolution paint, which is a zero VOC, solvent-free and Green Council-approved product generously sponsored by Kansai Plascon. Eazi Access Crane Hire kindly supplied the cranes used in the production of the two pieces.
On the night of Earth Hour, the second mural in the #WeAreAllConnected-inspired series was revealed at a special event in Woodstock in Cape Town that coincided with Earth Hour.
"For Earth Hour 2013, the idea is to switch off for the hour and switch over to more sustainable ways of living beyond the hour. The mural was created with the desire to leave something behind to remind us all that our actions need to live long after the celebrations!" says du Plessis.
Around the country, a number of other Earth Hour-related events also will take place as individuals, schools, businesses, and community groups show their commitment to the environment.

Eagles quarterback and convicted dog fighter Michael Vick has a "sociopathic adjustment to life" and is unlikely to ever to be capable of empathy.
That's what T.V. psychologist Dr. Phil said today in Philadelphia during a show taped in front of a live audience in Independence Park.
My Inquirer colleague David Hiltbrand reports that Dr. Phil termed "the biggest story in this town right now" the Eagles' hiring of Michael Vick.
Dr. Phil convened a panel that included Gov. Rendell, CBS3 sports anchor Beasley Reece and DogPac founder Tom Hickey Sr. to debate the topic.
The mostly white audience booed when J. Whyatt Mondesire, president of the Philadelphia branch of the NAACP, suggested from the stage that the censure of Vick is a racial issue.
The debate on Dr. Phil's show comes a week after Vick made his first appearance at a charter school in Philadelphia as part of an arrangement with the Humane Society of the United States. The group has enlisted Vick to speak to young people in inner city communities as part of its national anti-dog fighting campaign.
The show airs today at 5 p.m. in Philadelphia on KYW.

Monte Carlo is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Maritime Alps along the French Riviera. Near the western end of the quarter is the world-famous Place du Casino, the gambling center which has made Monte Carlo "an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth". It is also the location of the Hôtel de Paris, the Café de Paris, and the Salle Garnier (the casino theatre which is the home of the Opéra de Monte-Carlo).

Good afternoon everyone! Today's wedding is brought to you by the lovely wedding planner Maryne Renon who is based in the French Riviera and runs Eternal Events. Specialising in destination weddings in Provence, the French Riviera and Monaco, Eternal Events mainly works with couples living abroad covering all corners of the earth including New Zealand, Sweden, England, Korea, Lebanon and more.
Today's bride and groom are from Russia and planned the whole event from overseas. They chose the stunning Cap Estel for their ceremony and reception. Anna is a model and Vasily works in real estate, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Leonardo Do Caprio. This day was in fact their fourth ceremony as the two have spent the past 2 years celebrating their vows – first in the Maldives, then later in Las Vegas, followed by a huge part in Moscow and finally ending up in Monaco. Pretty incredible right?
Anna chose a Vera Wang dress and a Dior suit for their son Nicolas and chose a Tiffany blue and white colour scheme for the day which matched the sparkling blue water that was the backdrop for their ceremony. A simple blue ribbon thread in the decorations carefully, including the floral arrangements by Le Fleuriste, the stationery by Feeline Creation, the wedding cake by Wedding Cakes by Pamela and even the cocktails! As the ceremony concluded, the bride and groom released 50 blue butterflies out over the water as a sign of good luck.
Any regrets?
That the day did not last long enough….
Best decision made:
Our butterfly release at the end of the blessing
Thanks very much to Maryne and the photography team at Love Story Photography for sharing, enjoy!

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon name Hornby come from when the family resided in one of the places called Hornby in Lancashire, Westmorland (now part of Cumbria), or the North Riding of Yorkshire. "This place is distinguished for its castle, which stands on the site of a Roman villa, on the summit of a bold rock of conical form, in many parts shrouded by trees, and washed by the Wenning at its base. The castle was originally founded soon after the Norman Conquest." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print.
Hornby Early Origins
Lancashire at Hornby, a township and chapelry, and formerly a market-town, in the parish of Melling, hundred of Lonsdale. There are two Hornby Castles of note: the first in Lancashire which was originally built for the Neville family in the 13th century; and the second in Yorkshire, home to the St Quintin family. We must look to the latter shire to find the first record of the surname, namely William de Horneby who was listed in the Pipe Rolls of Yorkshire in 1205. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]

Hornby Spelling Variations
Hornby Spelling Variations
The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Hornby has been recorded under many different variations, including Hornby, Hornbie and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Hornby or a variant listed above:

[ Please don't Cc: public replies to debian-devel me. ] Ben Collins: > All it does is included the Source-Depends field into the .dsc file. I don't understand perl, nor the dpkg guts, so I'll have to ask: What creates the Source-Depends field? I can't think of a way to create it automatically, so I guess it must be by hand. (That's good enough, I'm just checking.) After writing dbuild and running it a few times on slink, I have formed the following vision of source dependencies: Build-Depends: lists binary packages that need to be installed when the package is built. The dependencies should have versions, if there is a need for the version; otherwise, they should not. For example, any version of gcc would be good enough for most packages, but some versions of gcc may have a bug that causes a bug in the package being compiled, so the package needs to depend on a new version. As you say, dependencies on "base" build tools do not need to be listed. The exact list of such tools needs to be written, but IMHO includes C (cc) and C++ (c++) compilers and corresponding libraries (libc6-dev, and whateveritis for C++). The list can be worked on as we get experience with what people need. However, it might be that the list of exceptions is short, and we might be able to do without it completely. Source-Package-Depends: lists *source* packages that are needed to build the package. For example, a number of packages need the kernel source tree, and sometimes need specific versions of it. The names are not important to me. For a first version, we can do without Source-Package-Depends altogether and version numbers in Build-Depends, but they are needed in the long run. After an official version of dpkg-dev supports source dependencies, I will happily add support for them to dbuild. After things settle, it should be made policy that packages use the new headers.

The House Where Nancy Lived
On Labor Day this year, we had the privilege of visiting the 100 year old home where my mother-in-law, Nancy Christensen lived in during her teen years.
I have always wanted to go inside this house and the owners gave tours on Labor Day. I took a bunch of pictures and videos of Nancy telling us stories about the house.
It was a special opportunity and the whole Christensen clan went over together to travel back in time to when their mother was a teenager, then falling in love (still a teenager--19!) getting married and having a magical reception at this house.
Nancy said they used to slide down this banister or walk down the stairs like they were in a wedding.
The house was full of antiques and wonderful old-time decorations. There were so many fine details like this fireplace.
And check out this awesome lamp built into the stair railing.
My girls loved looking around and listening to Grandma tell stories.
Can I have this bathtub please?They even had the original deed to the house from when Nancy's family sold it.
Check out that price--house, 80 acres, $29,075.00. Of course that was about 45 years ago but that's pretty amazing!
And here's a pic of two sisters who are still best friends. Nancy and Georgia said they used to sit just like this and talk on summer days.
I love anything that adds nostalgia to my sentimental life so this was a treat to see. Thank you to the Laney family for opening their doors and thanks to Nancy for sharing her memories.
Here's a little more history about this incredible house.
Built in 1909, the two-storey Greek Revival farm house was the showpiece of its day. Located
across the street from the old West Mountain LDS chapel, it currently sits on 80 acres of
farmland, including a 6-acre pond. James McBeth, a native of Iowa, came west as a teamster
bringing supplies on his wagons for the construction of the Trans Continental Railway "with a
rifle in one hand and the reins in the other." He settled in the Payson area because the winters
were "mild" and feed was plentiful for his stock. He later ran 5,000 sheep and pastured them on
land from West Mountain to Utah Lake. He originally settled on the site in 1876 in a small
home of sand struck brick. He built on the "big house" using the older home at the back as a
kitchen and hired hand quarters. In the 1960's the older home was removed and a kitchen and
family room rebuilt on the back of the home.

Devlin's late double not enough to derail Orchard
Armagh 2-9
Derry 2-8
Two late goals from Aaron Devlin weren't enough to secure a replay for Derry as Armagh hung on for a one-point win in a game they seemed to have settled early in the second half.
A brace of goals from full-forward Paul McGeown had Armagh leading by 2-9 to 0-8 with one minute of regulation time remaining, but Devlin hit two pile-drivers which left the visitors mightily relieved at the final whistle.
Derry started brightly and led when Benny Quigg pointed from 30-metres, but were rocked by a freak goal on nine minutes. As Paul McGeown's shot sailed wide, the Derry defence moved out seemingly expecting the kick-out, but referee Eamon McHugh gave a 13-metre free, which effectively became a penalty that McGeown blasted home from out of his hands.
The ramshackle goal rattled the Derry defence and by the 17th minute Armagh were 1-3 to 0-1 in front as Barry Seeley from a free, Aidan Forker and Colin Stevenson raised the white flag for the Orchard lads.
As the Oak Leafers recovered their composure, they battled back into the game with Tony Martin, Canice Rocks and Benny Quigg (two) all scoring points, while the Armagh goal lived a charmed life on at least three occasions. The third quarter was decisive as Armagh took over and built up a lead that was sufficient. Seeley started the onslaught, kicking a free from the right, which was followed by a point McGeown. A flowing move then finished with McGeown sliding home his second goal on 38 minutes, to make it Armagh 2-5 Derry 0-5 and the Oak Leafers looked beaten.
A Quigg free signalled Derry's resistance, but Forker and James King both extended the lead to seven for Armagh. The gap remained going into the final minute and when Devlin lashed home a 14-metre shot Armagh still looked comfortable. But from Derry's next attack, Devlin repeated the feat with another rocket of a shot and Armagh were shaken.
Derry launched one last desperate raid, but Tiarnan Rafferty's shot dropped short and nestled in the grateful arms of Armagh 'keeper Matthew McNeice to secure the All-Ireland Champions' passage.
Scorers -- Armagh: P McGeown 2-2, A Forker 0-2, B Seeley 0-2f, J King, C Stevenson, R Rafferty 0-1 each. Derry: A Devlin 2-0, B Quigg 0-4 (0-2f) C Rocks, T Martin, F Duffin, F Bell (0-1f) 0-1 each.

Robi vs Nina - IFW86_1
Buy Now € 21,99
Buy Now € 18,99
The girls start with armwrestling, where ice cold Nina's pure strength gives a hard time to Robi's thinner arms. Is it what we are going to witness in the wrestling match as well? Immediately from the start it is obvious that Nina's goal is to use her muscles and technical skills to first trap and then destroy Robi, forcing her to surrender. Possibly, more than once for a sharp victory.
Robi is not used to be forced to play a defensive role in her matches, but here she really needs to be concentrated at all times to stay in the match. Her agility and stamina are important, but are her legs strong enough to give Nina some trouble?
The fight is pauseless. It is physically demanding to wrestle like this for over 15 minutes. And when Robi gets trapped in Nina's deadly scissors... well that's serious stuff! She will say later "the strongest scissors I have ever felt". Nina uses her weight to try some pins too... Robi shows she knows how to suffer, but will her stamina be enough to survive until the end, or will Nina be able to finally overpower the smaller opponent and between a headlock and a scissor to force her to tap out?
There's a lot to see here, a real struggle from the beginning to the end where each of the wrestlers must use her weapons at her best to prevail. Both will be exhausted in the end, and everyone's already looking forward to a rematch!
Interesting final interviews.

Palling presents Estonian e-solutions in Greece, meets with counterpart ({{commentsTotal}})
At a presentation of Estonia's e-solutions in Athens, chairman of the Riigikogu's European Union Affairs Committee Kalle Palling (Reform) said that the European Union could make use of Estonia's e-government expertise.
In his report presented at the TEDx Academy conference in the Greek capital on Saturday, Palling focused on the digital solutions currently used in Estonia, namely the establishment of a business, filing an income tax return, and the e-health and e-election systems.
Palling also introduced the concept of Estonia's e-residency and the various opportunities offered by the X-Road, Estonia's decentralized approach to connecting the private and government levels and making it all accessible to different users.
During his visit Palling also met with the chairman of the group for parliamentary ties with Estonia in the Greek parliament and attended a meeting of the Greek parliament's EU affairs committee. A bilateral meeting then took place with the chairman of the EU affairs committee, Anastasios Kourakis, with whom the migration pressure on Greece was discussed.
Together with an official of the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board working in Greece, Palling explained to the Greek side the system of relocation of asylum seekers to Estonia.
"Greece highly appreciates our contribution, although in absolute terms we are speaking of small numbers as far as Estonia is concerned," Palling said. "But behind every number there is a person, and the possibility to start a new life in Estonia."
Palling said the people relocated to Estonia from Greece had themselves wanted to come to here, and pointed out that the fact that none of them had left Estonia so far was proof of the good work of Estonian officials.
Palling also made a presentation on e-governance in a think-tank bringing together organizations dealing with open technology in Greece.

Just Faces.
A simple expression can say more than a thousand words. Here are three examples: put your own thoughts into their minds.
Best of All Worlds.
After my short post yesterday I came across the following photograph and thought: yes! If only everything could be so perfectly proportioned!
Does Size Matter?
Now, be honest, is size all that important? I know that it seems to be for men, when it comes to their manhood, but such things hardly interest me normally. I'm thinking more about those things which interest me more: women.
Sometimes it is better to simply sit there and not say a word, just to nod and pay attention to what is being said. Occasionally you might want to insert a word or two, but not more than that. There are those who need the chance to talk, the chance to empty their hearts and […]
Special Day.
Which woman doesn't look forward to February 14 with mixed feelings? It can be a day of surprises or disappointments, a challenge or a setback all depending on how other people react, on their true feelings, on their perceptions of life and friendship. My day was filled with blessings: Valentine's Day has been, for me, […]
Assessing the Future.
Probably one of the hardest things to do is to change your lifestyle from one day to the next, and this is exactly what I have been considering recently. Not so much my personal life at home – or, rather, in my new home here in Germany – but in general.
Page Rank and Global Positioning.
Page Rank is one of those strange things which few can really understand. For this small Blog something unexplainable is happening: the Page Rank, global and national positioning, is constantly rising – international now 585,966, USA 354,421, Germany 72,313 – but the number of visitors here has fallen. Visitors are, however, looking at more pages, […]
More Changes.
I'm getting fed up with Helium and looking for a new site to write for. The reasons are simple: the titles Helium offers are exceptionally limited; suggesting titles takes too long and is fraught with frustration; accepted articles get removed without warning, even when they fit a topic, with the writer told to find a […]
Late for School.
After my half-way serious post yesterday, I thought I would go in a little bit deeper and write about something which is more than just serious. It concerns real people, real situations and a very real view of one part of the educational system in Germany. Now, I don't know whether this is the same […]
I am told that you can love someone without actually being their friend; by this I don't mean those thousands of people who believe they have fallen in love with a superstar, nor those who see photographs, read reports or simply pass someone on the street. I'm thinking more of people who live with one […]

Dorset Wildlife Trust Concerned Over Ash Die Back
11:59am 22nd August 2013
Dorset Wildlife Trust have told Wessex FM of their concern over the confirmed case of Ash Dieback disease found in woodland in Dorset.
We told you on Tuesday that a case had been confirmed in woods between Dorchester and Bridport.
DWT's Trees and Woodland Officer, Abby Gibbs, said: "This is a sad day for ash woodlands in Dorset and across the UK.
Further loss of these beautiful trees will undoubtedly affect the species which depend on them to survive. Therefore, we are asking members of the public to be vigilant, and report any sightings of affected ash trees to the Forestry Commission immediately."
Visible symptoms of infected Ash trees include: dead or dying tops of trees (best visible in the summer), lesions and cankers on stems/branches/shoot, dieback of leaves with brown/black leaf stalks, and staining of wood under bark lesions.

A SOUTH Yorkshire MP has contacted European football's governing body protesting about a decision to exclude Grimethorpe Colliery Band from playing on the Wembley pitch at the forthcoming Champions League final.
The band had been invited to the match between Manchester United and Barcelona on Saturday, May 28, and assumed they were going to be playing on the pitch - to be told they were only being invited to play outside.
Michael Dugher, Barnsley East MP and chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Brass Bands, has written to UEFA President Michel Platini criticising the snub and asking for the band to be invited to play inside the stadium.
He said: "It seems like these European executives at UEFA haven't got a clue.
"The Grimethorpe Colliery Band is world renowned and to ask these great musicians to busk outside the stadium while fans wander past is a real insult to this great British institution. It is a spectacular own-goal by UEFA."
