In agreeing a £125m five-year shirt sponsorship deal with Barcelona the tiny Gulf state with the grandest of ambitions has taken another massive step into international notoriety, using football as a leg up.
The vehicle for the latest move, the non-profit Qatar foundation, a philanthropic centre for education, may soften the accusations of profiteering for a sensitive Barcelona board who were happy to ignore offers to sully their shirt until economic reality bit.
And it fits with the notion of Barcelona as something different. No fizzy drinks or hedge funds for them.
But make no mistake. Barcelona are now sponsored by country, not a charity. As a benign dictatorship, anything with the Qatar name on it – from the airline to the telecoms company – has the same source. It is effectively state-owned by the ruling Al Thani family. Self promotion is always the name of the game. And the Qataris are proving the masters of the art.
During the run up to the award of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar last week, their politicking – largely designed by Englishman Mike Lee, who helped bring the Olympics to London – was second to none.
Ownership of the third largest gas field in the world when you have a native population similar to that of Preston obviously allows for money to be spent. But it still has to be spent wisely.
Back in January, Qatar sponsored the Confederation of African Football congress in Angola, ahead of the Cup of Nations tournament there.
That meant that rivals bids from Australia, Japan, Korea and the US were effectively barred from lobbying the African federation heads at the prime occasion to do so, leaving an open field for the Qataris.
Pep Guardiola, the charismatic and likeable manager of Barcelona, was brought on board. As was Zinedine Zidane and Alex Ferguson. Barcelona president Sandro Rosell was one of the leading forces behind the development of a Qatari football academy that aims to emulate Barcelona's revered La Masia school. When Qatar seek celebrity endorsements, it is the big catch they go fishing for.
There was a rumour doing the rounds not so long ago that Qatar might follow Abu Dhabi and look to take over a Premier League club. This past week's events suggest that may be beneath them. Anyway, their interest in the UK lies with more august institutions like Christie's Auctioneers, Sainsbury's and the London Stock Exchange.
Why Qatar are so eager to raise their profile rather than simply enjoying their fortunate wealth is a matter for them. Sport is a short cut to international recognition. Their massive wealth means they can buy in to the highest of levels. Even Barcelona (more than a club, apparently) are not beyond them. The taking of that particular corporate virginity must have been satisfying.
The World Cup and now Barcelona fit perfectly the pattern of crown jewel associations. A League One club in west London is no longer a major concern.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is a science fiction video game in the X-COM series, developed by 2K Marin and released by 2K Games for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on August 20, 2013 in North America. The game was in development under different titles by three different studios since 2006. It was unveiled as a first-person shooter titled XCOM in June 2010 and it has been repeatedly delayed and changed since then. In April 2013, the game was rebranded as The Bureau: XCOM Declassified in its final version of a third-person view tactical shooter with strategy video game elements.
Set in the United States in 1962, the game tells the story of the CIA special agent William Carter, working for the United States Bureau of Strategic Emergency Command, tasked with investigating and stopping an extraterrestrial incursion on American soil, all while keeping it a secret and erasing all evidence.
The Bureau is a third-person shooter with an emphasis on squad-based tactics. The player controls William Carter and commands two additional agents in each mission. Carter has his own unique abilities, but other agents are divided into the Commando, Engineer, Support, and Recon classes. By entering "Battle Focus Mode", which slows time significantly, the player can order their agents to move to strategic positions and activate class-specific abilities. Agents have customizable outfits, weapons, equipment and abilities. As in XCOM: Enemy Unknown, soldiers will suffer from permanent death and if Carter is unable to revive agents who have taken too much damage, they will die (variable difficulty levels also determine whether or not it is possible for downed agents to become battle-ready when revived, or if replacement agents will appear during a mission).

Salma Hayek's Hair
Love It or Hate It? Salma Hayek's Wrap-Around Braid
Since this isn't a look you'd usually find on Salma Hayek, I just had to point it out. She usually goes for an ethereal goddess or a sophisticated and sexy look, not something quite this constructed. For the record, I can not believe how big braids are this Summer, can you? What do you think of this milkmaid-braid hairstyle on Salma? Do you like it or would you have preferred to see her hair styled another way?

This subject matter (Navy Case No. 097150) was developed with funds from the United States Department of the Navy. Licensing inquiries may be directed to Office of Research and Technical Applications, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego, Code 2112, San Diego, Calif., 92152; telephone 619-553-2778; email: email@example.com.
1. Field of the Invention
This subject matter relates to computer control and to the use of a system in which the supervisory expertise is a non-human being, such as a salient being or a biological non-human. More specifically the subject matter relates to any system or combination of systems that use one or more non-human beings to interact with another system providing sensor or action functions in order to permit the non-human being to perform a task.
2. Background of the Invention
In many instances, direct operation is impractical, for example, because of hazard or because of impossibility. In a typical instance, a remote function is performed by a human, using external sensing and control. An example of this is the operation of a remote manipulator, in which a camera and mechanical actuators are used to perform a function, such as pipe inspection or extraction of atomic fuel rods. In this case the supervisory control is executed by the operator in a fairly straightforward fashion.
Other examples of remote sensing include automatic train control (ATC), by which a railroad vehicle responds to signals and predetermined control inputs, such as acceleration, to operate the train. The operator is able to override the controls or to override the controls within limits established by the ATC, but in some circumstances may allow the ATC to control the train without operator intervention.
Supervisory control can be used to describe a direct hands-on function, such as the manipulation of the controls of a vehicle or the use of a computer operator interface. An example is the above-mentioned ATC. The supervisor need not be the supervisor in a military or business sense, and in some cases the supervisory control may be overridden by a controlled individual.
An example of supervisory control by a subordinate is found in the use of tracking dogs. The handler of a tracking dog allows being led, as the handler, by the tracking dog. In this way, the tracking dog executes supervisory control of the team in the sense of execution of the tracking function. If the handler deems a particular area or direction should or should not be investigated, the handler will provide overriding control; yet permit the tracking dog to continue to provide primary supervision of the tracking duty.
Execution of functions is performed by a non-human being by providing the non-human being with an I/O interface for receiving information and permitting the non-human being to execute functions consistent with the abilities of the non-human being. An input/output interface provides the non-human being with a type or modality of information comprising at least one of sensory information, assessment information and decision support, the interface accepting at least one of control, advisory information or other information from the non-human being. Information is processed by converting signals communicated through the input/output interface, and an operation control interface is provided for controlling the functions as commanded by the non-human being.
The present system addresses a need of the operation and tactical community to gather accurate data.
Species-Appropriate User Interface
The particular user interface should be sufficiently adapted to the species having supervisory control to at least provide a function meaningful to the species. Supervisory systems and subsystems are well documented. The described system concerns a system or subsystem in which the supervisory expertise is one or more non-human beings, such as a salient being or a biological non-human being. More specifically the subject matter relates to any system or combination of systems that use one or more non-human beings to interact with another, usually a remote, "sensor/action" system to perform a task. The task may be one that, if performed directly, would normally endanger the performer, and will normally involve sensing, actions, transmissions, and local information processing on the part of the "sensor/action" subsystem, and sensing, cognitive situation assessment, and/or decision-making on the part of the non-human supervisory system. Alternatively, the task may be one that is otherwise best performed by the use of the intelligence of a non-human being, such as a non-human salient being. Typically, there is some advantage for the non-human to be at a location away from the source of the input signals and/or the destination of the output signals, either or both of which is/are typically in a remote location.
Types of sensory information used range from simple to highly complex, and may represent anything from a single component (e.g., a single frequency in a spectrum) to a full description (e.g., complete frequency spectrum over time) with multiple sensor types (e.g., audio, visual, chemical (odors), etc.).
In the case of external inputs, it may be necessary to implement computer user inputs and outputs according to the behaviour and sensory capabilities of the entity functioning in lieu of a human interface. For example, an on-line map for dogs would be pretty useless without indicia of smells, and without the indicia of smells being appropriate for the dog. Similarly, a qwerty keyboard is not a concept that dogs would grasp, and so one would find it inconvenient to try to teach a dog to use a qwerty keyboard.
On the other hand, a dog is far more capable to react to and reason the identity and location of a tracked being based on scent. This is partially attributable to the acute sense of smell of dogs, which is a combination of the dependence of dogs on the sense of smell, the instinct or behavioural "wiring" of dogs, and the intellectual interest that dogs have in tracking scents. If a human were to be able to detect the scent, the human would still be significantly less capable than the dog in using the scent for tracking and identification purposes.
The aptitude often extends beyond capabilities with the particular sense. Going back to the example of scent, it is possible for a human to use the sense of smell to detect the state of tune of an internal combustion engine or to detect other faults. This is something that would be meaningless to a dog, despite the dog's more acute sense of smell. There simply is no natural interest or comprehension by the dog regarding these concepts (although training might create interest). Therefore the ability to use a sense is in part associated with the ability of the particular salient entity to interpret the information, as well as the ability of the salient entity to receive the sensed information.
Much of the ability to interpret information is believed to relate to, in the case of mammals, the manner in which the being processes information through the cerebral cortex, and the transfer of information between the cerebral cortex and parts of the brain closer to the brain stem. This is described in detail by Grandin and Johnson, Animals in Translation, ISBN 978-0156031448 Harvest Books (2006), and in Grandin, and Deesing, Behavioral Genetics and Animal Science, ISBN 0-12295130-1 (Academic Press 1998; http://www.grandin.com/references/genetics.html)
By configuring the user interface of a computer or control system in a manner adapted to the non-human salient being, the intellectual, instinctual or reasoning capability of the non-salient being can be utilized in a manner which both enhances the ability of the non-human being to provide results and which takes advantage of the different abilities of the non-human being. This technique can be used for observation or sensing, as well as executive functions. The parameters of the non-human being's functions can be controlled as desired in the sense that the overall scheme or the tactical approach to the function or task is able to be controlled to the extent that the non-human being is willing to perform the tasks.
Similarly, other beings would be likely to interface with equipment differently from humans. The system would use an input/output interface providing the non-human being with any type or modality of sensory and/or other assessment and decision support information and accepting control and/or advisory or other information from the non-human being.
This technique is suitable for use with any salient being that can perform executive functions. This can include higher mammals, such as porpoises, simian beings, and dogs. The technique can also be used with more reactive species, such as rats, with less salient beings such as insects and fish, with microscopic life forms such as bacteria, mold, and viruses, and with parts of life forms such as mitochondria, DNA-related-actors, or other cell components. Similarly, the technique can use an input/output interface accepts control or advisory information from an abnormal component of a being such as a cancer cell.
The sensory information, assessment information and decision support can include data implemented with multiple sensor types, corresponding to multiple senses of the non-human. It is further possible to use multiple species of non-humans and a combination of humans and non-humans to accomplish the desired tasks.
The supervisory non-human being can be any of a variety of beings, represented in the figure as a dog 131, a bat 135, and a primate 137. It is noted that the represented non-human beings are for example purposes only, and this subject matter is not limited to those beings recited herein. It is not required that the system 100 be configured for use by only one type of non-human being.
The I/O subsystem 113 is the actual operating interface for the non-human being and is used by the non-human being to interact with the system. The I/O subsystem 113 is closely tied to the processor subsystem 119, in the manner that computer I/O equipment such as displays and keyboards are closely tied to the processor subsystem 119.
Referring to
The I/O interface 117 is the transducer allowing operation by the non-human being and provides a supervisory or operational interface with the non-human being. The transducer may be a directly controlled device, or may be indirect, as in a scent generator, a video screen or an image tracking system. The I/O interface 117 provides a transducer function and uses mission m and the remote subsystem's outputs. Mission m is the particular mission or overall command for execution by the system. The I/O interface 117 communicates with the processor subsystem 119.
The processor subsystem 119 provides the computing and database capabilities of the system 100. The processor subsystem 119 communicates with the I/O interface 113 by receiving data and control signals from the I/O interface 113, represented as output e and providing data and control signals to the I/O interface 113, represented as output d. This is similar to current computer systems configured with multiple I/O.
The remote subsystem 111 communicates with the I/O interface 117 or directly with the processor subsystem 119 in order communicate data and control signals. The remote subsystem communicates with the I/O subsystem 113, including the processor subsystem 119, by providing an output a of data and control signals to the I/O subsystem 113 and receiving data and control signals as commands c from the I/O subsystem 113, including the processor 119. The transmission of the data and control signals a, c may be achieved by variety of well-established methods.
Despite the non-human being not being subservient to human action in the non-human being's operation of the system, the overall control of the system is presumed to be human. Thus if, for example, the non-human being decides to launch a weapon, the human can override the decision. This is achieved through a management control interface 147.
The operation of the system is performed by the non-human being through the I/O interface 117. The non-human being may be a robot or a biological non-human being. The non-human being may be any of a variety of life forms, for example, dolphin, primate, bat, and pigeon. Alternatively, the system may be human or have a human component, or another system or combination of systems. The system may operate actively or passively. Conceptually, it is possible to provide the system as a swimming vehicle carrying a simulated dolphin sonar device that pings into Environment B, listens for echoes. Alternatively, System B can forego the ping and simply listen. System B may do some preprocessing of data, and then (possibly covertly) transmit the echoes back to virtual Environment A for presentation to the supervisor dolphin.
All transmissions may be clear, covert, disguised, encrypted, etc. The transmission may be minimal (e.g., for economy or security) or maximal (e.g., for fidelity or reliability). There may be loss of fidelity and/or reconstruction/enhancement of signal during the transmission/reception processes.
Upon receipt of the signal, Environment A presents it to the supervisor (dolphin), who then listens and performs a task as trained. During the task, which involves its non-human cognitive processes, the supervisor makes an assessment and/or decision, and provides an indication of the next step the robot should do. The next step may be, for example, an action that activates a specific signaling, recording, or transmitting device. This information (e.g., a steering command; a ping specification, etc.) is then transmitted to the robot for implementation in Environment B.
The system may be configured as a closed loop system and may provide feedback in either direction on the results of previous commands, actions, etc. The system may also be implemented as a training system so the supervisor and/or the robot may be trained either prior to actual operation, or on the job. It is noted that the non-human being (System A) must be able to perform the task it is given, but that it need not necessarily be the same task it would do directly if it were at location B. System A may be a hybrid human/non-human/machine system and may exert control over Subsystem B. For example, B may require a secret key from the human part of System A before it can transmit actively or release a weapon.
Note that Environments A and B may be anything, of any scale (tiny to huge), and include ground, subterranean, ocean surface, subsurface, air, space, etc. Environment A may be stationary or mobile, for example e.g., on a ground vehicle, surface or subsurface vessel, aircraft, space station, etc. Environment A may be anything from a simple supervisory capability to a complex virtual environment. Environment B may be near or far from Environment A, and may be extremely hot, cold, light, dark; electronically, electromagnetically, chemically or radiologically polluted, hazardous, uninhabitable; etc.
A potential supporting technology is, among others, the Navy Marine Mammal Program's "biometric" sonar of dolphins Another application area is the use of dogs as guard-duty supervisors, for example to increase the size of the area or number of guard stations they can visually or auditorily monitor.
The creation of a virtual environment that makes good use of particular senses may be problematic. An example is the remote transmission of detected scents when using the sense of smell of a dog or other animal. It should be noted in this regard that the systems described above can, in principal, be built even if development may be required to implement any given design.
As with human interfaces, the correspondence between the actual sensed input or output and the interface need not match. In the case of a human interface, radar images may or may not appear in the same configuration as the received echo. Similarly, supplemental information or controls may be implemented. In the case of radar, supplemental information and control includes transponder queries and secondary return information. In the case of the I/O interface 117, the information at the I/O interface 117 need not directly correspond to the information at the remote subsystem 111.
The lack of correspondence has an advantage, in that some sensed information is difficult to replicate in the virtual environment. The sense of smell is notable in that respect. It is possible to use sensitive chemical detectors to detect particular odors, but the ability to replicate these odors in the virtual environment is limited.
It may also be necessary to train the being to respond to the particular scent. By way of example, a dog could be trained to detect and track a particular scent. When a completely different type of scent is to be detected, the training may not be effective for that different type of scent. It is also the case that similar scents or distracting scents can interfere with detection. In the case of remote sensing, the particular olfactory sensing ability of the dog is less important, but the behavioral instincts of the dog and the dog's intelligence with respect to tracking are valuable.
The I/O subsystem 113 can be used to standardize the olfactory inputs to the dog, while separately sensing what may be a completely different item. The remotely sensed item may be outside the scope of the dog's training and may be outside the scope of the dog's olfactory abilities, but the I/O subsystem 113 can operate with a more easily managed scent substance. Thus, a dog trained for locating a particular food can be used to track something the dog is unable to detect or which would be dangerous to the dog, such as a radioactive isotope.
The effectiveness of the sensing or other function is enhanced according to a mapping of what the non-human being can sense or perform, and the remote subsystem 111. This is most easily accomplished by matching direction and distance to virtual direction and either distance or an analog of distance, such as intensity or resonance.
The remote system also provides physical abilities that could exceed the mobility of the non-human being. This permits the non-human being to access dangerous areas or areas which are inaccessible to the non-human being.
The remote operation also provides an ability to allow the being to multitask in different environments, as would be the case of basic detection at multiple points. This also allows an operation to be performed by multiple beings, for example, in order to relieve the being from fatigue.
A dog is able to patrol a perimeter by listening for unusual noises, such as unknown humans traversing the patrolled area. In order to enhance the effectiveness of this, the dog is placed in a virtual environment and taught to comprehend the virtual environment. Remote inputs sense noises and other environmental factors, and these are mapped to the virtual environment. Multiple regions, normally beyond the geographical area sensed by a single dog, can be provided to a single dog's virtual environment. Multiple dogs can be provided with similar inputs, so as to provide a redundancy in the sensing by the dogs. The redundancy can be used for aggregated sensing or can be used to filter nuisance alerts.
It may turn out that other species are more effective than dogs in sensing unusual activity, but would not be useful in a real world environment. This would likely be the case of prey species, who are often alert for unusual activity, but would be less likely than a dog to be vocal about an intrusion. By establishing a virtual environment, it is possible to monitor such species in a controlled environment.
A virtual world is provided such that the pig 211 can react to a representation of the terrain 230 a, and receive inputs. If the inputs are mapped to indicia of the objects 233 such as chemical traces or if the probe 227 provides indicia corresponding to alterations in the terrain 230, the pig 211 can sense inputs mapped to what is indicated by the probe 227, and discover or probe in locations 233 a which can be mapped to the objects 233. The indicia provided to the pig 211 can correspond to the indicia from objects 233 sensed by the probe 227, or can be mapped analogs more appropriate to the nature of the pig 211, such as vegetables (or truffles according to classical tracking functions). If the mapping of the activity of the airborne unit can be associated with the response of the non-human being in the virtual world, the non-human being can be used to perform tasks consistent with the tools afforded by the remote subsystem 220. In the case of a minefield, the pig could fly in a virtual sense over the minefield (terrain 230), and virtually sense and root for mines (objects 233). The probe 227 can then be used to remove the mines 223 with or without the control assistance of the pig 211. Since this is accomplished in a virtual sense, the pig would continue unharmed.
The visual acuity of a pigeon is better than human's, and it is expected that the neurological "wiring" of a pigeon is focused on taking advantage of this visual acuity. Transmission is made via telemetry of high-resolution video of search area from the remote UAV search vehicle to pigeons in home-based high-resolution circular theater environment, preferably in four primary colors corresponding to the pigeons' vision. The pigeons' task is to indicate the direction of any objects of a particular configuration, for example any objects of a particular color or shape. This approach would use techniques similar to techniques as pigeon-based search aboard helicopters, including restricting each pigeon's search area, and use of a reward-based pecking task.
It is accepted that a dog's hearing is superior to that of a human. This not only applies to hearing sensitivity, but also to the ability to interpret sounds and audio pattern recognition. Establish a sensor field of microphones in the forest and transmit their outputs to a similar array (not necessarily similarly located) in a home-based space with suitable acoustics and provisions for dogs. Train dogs on what "normal" is, and then on what various kinds of intruders in the forest environment sound like in the home-based environment. When the dogs detect an intruder of interest in the home-based environment, they trigger an appropriate action in the real forest and/or alert their local handler so that humans can take appropriate action in the real forest. It is also possible to insert simulated targets in the virtual environment for continued training purposes, and to keep up the dogs' interest in the task.
In order to take advantage of a dog's auditory pattern recognition, a sensor field of microphones is used. The sensor field of microphones is established at the border and transmit their outputs to a similar array in a home-based space as above. Dogs are trained on what "normal" is, and then on what sound patterns various kinds of border-crossers produce in the home-based environment. When the trained dogs detect an intruder of interest in the home-based environment, they trigger an appropriate action at the real border and/or alert their local handler so that humans can take appropriate action at the border.
A dog's "nose", or odor pattern recognition, is better than human's. In this example, the chemicals given off by the contraband can be broken up into an array of individual chemicals, some of which may be individually detected by arrays of various kinds of individual chemical sensors in the subway station, rather like a Fourier analysis of acoustical noise or the electromagnetic spectrum. Sensors detect a variety of "individual" chemicals that together make up at least parts of the more complex patterns produced by the contraband. The outputs of the sensors are transmitted to a corresponding array of effectors that reproduce a corresponding, though probably not nearly identical, complex chemical field in a home-based space with suitable air currents and provisions for dogs. The effectors may or may not be located in a similar pattern to that of the sensors. The dogs are trained on what effects "normal" smells in the subway environment have on the chemical environment in the home-based space. Additionally, the dogs are trained on how various kinds of contraband (drugs, "fear", etc.) in the subway environment change the chemical smell patterns in the artificial home-based environment. When the trained dogs detect an odor of interest in the home-based environment, they trigger an appropriate action in the real subway (e.g., activate high-speed, high-resolution cameras) and/or alert their local handler so that humans can take appropriate action.
Mold's "sensitivity to good growing conditions" (recognition of combinations of heat, light, moisture, nutrients that promote growth of particular types of mold) is better than human's. Establish a sensor field of detectors of heat, light, humidity, and perhaps certain nutrients such as fertilizer chemicals (potassium, nitrogen, phosphorous, etc) at a remote windshield location and transmit their outputs to a similar array of transducers to produce similar components in a home-based "Petri dish" container with everything else required for good mold growth. Adjust signal amplitudes in the home-based environment to suppress mold growth there under "normal" conditions. Then calibrate by adjusting for high mold growth in the home-based environment when conditions at the remote windshield begin to approach the threshold for unacceptable mold growth there. Then, in operation, mold growth in the home-based environment will occur before mold growth on the windshield and can be used to signal initiation and control of mold-suppression actions (e.g., change the "climate", or activate a wiper or a sanitizing spray) at the windshield.
The Virtual Environment
While the concepts of non-human beings performing tasks in the manner described is interesting, the interface for the non-human being is made effective by providing an effective mapping between the real world events at the remote subsystem 111, and the virtual environment provided at the I/O subsystem 113. This can be provided as an approximation of a matching correspondence. Alternatively, the scale or type of the sensing or activity of the remote subsystem 111 can substantially differ from that of the virtual environment.
As a close approximation in the virtual world of the real environment, a full scale controlled environment could be provided. This would require monitoring the non-human being's activities as the non-human being traversed the controlled environment, but reduces the amount of training that would be necessary if the non-human being were to sit behind a computer and respond in a stationary position. The reconstruction of a local environment to be provided to the non-human being (1) may be used to provide safety for the non-human being, (2) may be used to provide a variation in the mapping of activity in the virtual environment to the environment of the remote subsystem 111, and (3) may allow convenient access to the real environment without the need to transport the non-human being to the real environment.
On the other hand, there could be cases where sufficient activity of the non-human being can take place within a limited space. This would require that the non-human being react well within the limited space and that the reaction be properly sensed by the I/O subsystem 113.
It will be understood that many additional changes in the details, materials, steps and arrangement of parts, which have been herein described and illustrated to explain the nature of the subject matter, may be made by those skilled in the art within the principal and scope of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.

East Indian Spinach and Lentils
I got this recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks called Extending the Table. It's a collection of not only recipes, but also stories, from around the world.
One of my friends and I had discovered a yummy Indiana restaurant and had been eating at it about once a week for awhile. So the next time we craved Indian food, instead of going to the restaurant yet again, we decided to try out making our own Indiana food. We looked in my Extending the Table cookbook and found a recipe for East Indian Spinach and Lentils (Baji Dhal) and tried it out.
For the exact recipe you're going to have to buy this amazing book (it's worth it), but here is a summary of what we did:
First we browned an onion in a skillet then added garlic and ginger then stirred in cumin, curry powder, salt, and hot chili peppers. We then added rinsed red lentils and covered them with that sauce.
We added water, potatoes, and spinach.
After all of that was cooked we served it over rice, cucumber & tomato slices, and chipati bought from the Indian store, and sprinkled it with cilantro. We did not regret not going to the Indian restaurant that day!

Alien Isolation Hoodies
Main Tag
Inspired by the Alien universe, I present my design for the commercial cargo station the Nostromo was leaving from, before she was rerouted to LV-426. Study it carefully, and you can find many references to Joseph Conrad, Alien, Isolation, etc. I recommend a royal blue shirt for this art.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by darklide, Aug 30, 2010.
And if so does the Evo 4g work on Hspa+ network? And will the EVO 4g.be able.to run android 3.0?
It's already available on US Cellular.
Don't know where you got that info as I've been using the Desire here in Canada from Telus since August 8, just two days after it's official release here.
Yes it will be able to run 3.0, and many other models will too. But whether they get official updates is another story, and no one will know until 3.0 is released.
Yep, also rocking the Desire from Telus in Canada. Waiting on 2.2!
Me too! Hope it happens soon.
Yep me too though I'm rocking unbranded 2.2 already. Love it!
The wait is a lot shorter if you do it yourself!
Running CM6.0.0 right now with no issues.
and me....
I'm chicken! I came to android from blackberry, and I used to load OS leaks all the time on my storm, but flashing, rooting, RUUs, ROMs, gold cards...it's awfully daunting. I don't understand it all yet.


text: Hey fellow Galaxy users on the Bell network. Are any of you having problems with your phone dropping 3G and the only way to get it back on is to reboot your phone? I'm running Galaxo 188.8.131.52 but even when I was running Samsung's 1.6 release at least twice a week it'll just drop the 3G signal. As far as I can tell there's no rhyme or reason for it. I'll notice that I haven't heard any notifications in a while (usually if I hear it tell me that I've got an email I just check it on the computer I'm on) and when I check it the signal is dropped. There's no pattern for it, I've sent texts or made phone calls and it worked fine, 1/2 hour later....nothing. Just wondering if it's just me or if others are having the same problem. Maybe if it's just me I can try to swing a deal with Bell for a Legend (like the Galaxy but can't stand the official support (Drakaz, on the other hand, is my hero)).

Work Tank Update
Today is the last day before Easter break and the work tank will be unattended until Monday. There are three adults (two males and one female, Esmeralda) and lots and lots of new babies. This tank was fed last on 3/25 and will feed again on 4/1 when I return to work. Plasma will be at least three or four days after feeding.

Everyone moves to Mars!
The other female in the Blue ocean zoo was found dead, Bertha is still going strong. There was only one live sea-monkey in the magic castle tank. The green ocen zoo was devoid of life and the red zoo had one lone survivor. They were all transferred to the Mars tank tonight. The Mars tank was then aerated and growth food was added. The blue ocean zoo and the magic castle tank are now set aside to allow all the water to evaporate from them.
Work Tank Update
Two adult males and one adult female (Esmeralda). Small hatchlings are visible in the tank. Plasma III was added on March 19th. I aerated the tank and added growth food this morning when I got to work. One of the new males is mating with Esmeralda.

Welcome back...
Blog.com has been offline for last 36 hours. For now the site will stay here but I am going to have to move if this keeps up. I will most likely move to wordpress but I will lose features when I do that. I am trying now to figure out how to get the blog backed up so the move will be easy. I will certainly post a link to the new site if and when I get it ready.

Home Tanks Update
I came in and inspected the tanks this afternoon and sadly I must report that the male sea-monkey in the blue ocean zoo has died. Bertha is still going strong and the other female appears to be OK as well. I gave the tank a dose of Sea-Medic just to be on the safe side though. I did notice some small babies swimming. I hate to do it but I may have to retire this tank soon. I think I will just let the water evaporate out of it if I transfer the sea-monkeys to another tank.
Work Tank Update
After a week of spring break, I was anxious to see how the red Ocean Zoo at work was doing. I was relieved to find everything just fine. The work tank has three adults in it now, Esmeralda and a male and another female. They were fed this morning and I will give the tank a dose of plasma in a couple of days.

Mars tank maintenance
I decided that the old style Mars tank needed a bit of maintenance. First of all the water was too orange and it was hard to see the Sea-Monkeys in the tank, especially any tiny babies that were in there. First I prepared a quart of water. Jumbo Plasma makes a quart of water, too bad they don't sell it any more... I am down to my last pouch! Then I used the aqua-leash to get the two males out of the tank and transferred them to a waiting Ocean Zoo. After this I poured off about 2/3 of the tank into another Ocean Zoo, then I topped off the Mars tank with clear plasma water and transferred the males back into the tank.
To clean, or not to clean?:
As your Sea-Monkeys age, sediment will begin to gather in the bottom of your tank -- a combination of food, algae, waste and un-hatched eggs. This is a natural part of the process and is not necessarily harmful to your pets. In fact, the Sea-Monkeys seem to enjoy routing around the murky basin. I choose not to clean my tanks -- rather let the process in their ecosystem continue naturally.

Transcience order arrived!
Imagine my surprise as I was handed my mail to discover that my Transcience order had arrived. Yay!
This is definitely not the commercially available kit from a couple of years ago. This kit is exclusively available from Transcience. Here's what you get: A nice black old school style Ocean Zoo with Regular lid, A binocular lid, a basic kit (packets 1, 2, & 3), Plasma III, Sea-Diamonds, and a feeding spoon.
Come on in, the water's fine:
To help keep your Sea-Monkeys water at a cozy 70+ degrees, pick up an aquarium thermometer from your local pet store (Wal-Mart...). These inexpensive units are a thin, smallish piece of plastic that will stick right on the OUTSIDE of your Ocean-Zoo tank and help you chart the comfort-zone within.

Magic Castle (old style) video update
Look at all the Sea-Monkeys in the old style Magic Castle tank! Shakey thinks they are cool.
The Carbonic Plague
The first seven days of a Sea-Monkey's life are critical. I highly recommend aerating the tank EVERY DAY for the FIRST WEEK. One of the greatest enemies for Sea-Monkeys is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a gas which all animals naturally produce but is more important to underwater animals than to land animals. In water, some of the carbon dioxide forms a compound called carbonic acid. This is a very weak acid but it is strong enough to kill Brine Shrimp. If there is too much carbonic acid present in your tank, Sea-Monkeys cannot make use of the oxygen that is available to them. As a result, they suffocate. So for the best results (and as a precautionary measure), aerate on a daily basis the first week. And if your Sea-Monkeys begin swimming in a sluggish manner, START AERATING again immediately to supply them with oxygen and help fight off the toxic carbonic acid.

Meet Shakey! (Home Tanks Update)
Meet Shakey, he's my new Sea-Monkey Bobble Head. He will be posing with the tanks in todays home tanks update.
In oldest Mars experiment the sea-monkeys are still mating. I was able to get a good close up of them.
In the old style mars tank the two boys have been joined by some more new borns as a few more eggs must have hatched in last day or so.

Esmeralda is rooting around on the bottom this morning, she has a full egg sac, also one young adult and a couple of juveniles are visible swimming about.
There are several students who stop occasionally to check on the Sea-Monkeys to see how they are progressing.

Why Can't I Grow My Sea-Monkeys?
Most people don't like Sea-Monkeys because they can't grow them. They really aren't hard to raise at all. First, you have to prepare the water. Most people mix everything together at once and expect the Sea-Monkeys to be born. Well, you don't get anything but a jar of dirty water if you do that. Here's some tips to keep them alive.

Who in their Right Mind Could Think of Fish Food as Pets? None other than the guy who invented X-ray Spex! A man by the name of Harold von Braunhut. This man saw a great, instant pet that could teach children around the world the oddities of nature. Harold decided to market Sea-Monkeys in 1957.

Home Tanks Update
[singlepic id=24 w=100 h=122 float=left]Last [singlepic id=14 w=100 h=122 float=right] night the old style Castle and Mars tanks were give their initial dose of plasma. I observed the male in the blue Ocean Zoo in distress so I gave the zoo a dose of Sea-Medic and for good measures I gave the other Mars and Castle a dose as well. For fun I added some Sea Diamonds to the three older experiments.

Parthenogenesis & Sea-Monkeys
Parthenogenesis (pron.: /ˌpɑrθənoʊˈdʒɛnəsɨs/) is a form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization.
Water Temperature
Water temperature is pretty important. According to the hatching guide optimal hatching temperature is between 75°F and 80°F.
Here comes Esmeralda!
I took the digital camera to work today and was able to get some pretty good high res shots of Esmeralda and a nice video her and her babies playing in the tank. They like to root around that junk at the bottom of the tank and kick it all over the place.

Review: The Basic Ocean-Zoo
That's a lot for only $4.99 at Wal-Mart! It costs more to get the same kit from Transcience: $9.00 to be exact. You have everything you need to start your colony of Sea-Monkeys. You don't get a packet of Plasma III nor a Million-Bubble air pump, and those are essential for a tank to thrive, especially the air pump.
Work tank update
Here are some snapshots of the Ocean-Zoo on my desk at work. I was able to count 3 juvenile sea-monkeys this morning. Esmeralda still seems healthy and active. I am worried about how she will fair over spring break here in a couple of weeks.

Home tanks update
The home tanks are doing well. The first Mars experiment is doing quite well with several large adults swimming about. The first Magic Castle tank is down to 2 adults, a male and a female. The Ocean Zoo tank is hanging in there with two adults, a male and a female. The newest experiments are as follows: The Magic Castle in the original style tank really took off! It is teaming with freshly hatched newborns! The original style Mars tank has newborns in it but not as spectacularly as the magic castle.

Update on the newest Magic Castle Experiment Feb. 23, 2013. The tank is teaming with newly born Sea-Monkeys!

Transcience Order Form
Here is an order form created in Excel that can be used to order Sea-Monkeys® supplies from Transcience. I just choose the items I want and hide the rest. The form will do all the math for you, just print it off and mail it in with your money order. This form will always be available in the sidebar under Downloads.
Plasma III
I always use Plasma III with my experiments. I have noticed that kits being made these days aren't including it like they used to... I have a good supply from Transcience, So I always have a packet to add to any new experiment I begin. On the tenth day I add three large scoops of plasma and one large scoop every 10 days afterwards until it is all gone. It it adds a few extra eggs to water so you might see a few newborns a couple of days later.

How do you begin your experiments?
When I start new experiments, I don't wait 24 hours any longer before adding packet 2. I just mix packet 1 and 2 at the same time. I feed every 5 to 7 days and add 3 large scoops of plasma III on the tenth day and one large scoop every 10 days thereafter until the packet is gone. If the first hatching dies off, the experiment doesn't end. More will likely hatch later. If at least one female survives she will usually have more babies after a few days. An experiment can go on indefinitely as there will always be a new hatching every few weeks.
One lone survivor...
There is only one surviving Sea-monkey in the work tank... A female that I will call Esmerelda. She has had a few babies though and I can see them swimming about.

The miracle of instant life
I arrived at work this morning to find an Ocean Zoo teaming with Sea-Monkeys! My skeptical co-workers were astounded, the students are delighted. They are about a week old and have been fed.

Started Tank at Work
I decided to start a colony of Sea-Monkeys at work, LOL.
Here is their little Ocean-Zoo tank on my desk. They are 2 days old now and are just visible in the pic. Look for the little white dots.

Welcome to Bill's Sea-Monkeys® Adventures, a journal of my latest Sea-Monkeys® experiments. You might wonder how and why all this got started... Years ago, on a lark, I purchased a Sea-Monkey kit for my daughter. We had so much fun with them that I decided to compile as much information on them as I could and put it all in one convenient place for her. It started out with just one page and a journal of our adventures with Sea-Monkeys. As an amateur web designer, I eventually decided to apply my skills to creating an actual website.

For only the third time in its history, the Dutch football team is through to the final of the FIFA World Cup. Following a 1-1 draw at half time, they beat opponents Uruguay 3-2.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst took the Dutch team into the lead in the 18th minute with one of the best goals of the tournament, an outstanding long-range shot that bounced in off the goal post. But in the 41st minute, Uruguay's Diego Forlan took advantage of Joris Mathijsen's absence and a mistake by goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg to score the equaliser.
In the second half, the Dutch team played even more strongly when Rafael van der Vaart was brought on to replace Demy de Zeeuw. Wesley Sneijder scored in the 70th minute, while Arjen Robben made it three goals for the Dutch in the 73rd minute. Even so, Uruguay didn't give up, and managed to make the final score 3-2 with a goal from Maximiliano Pereira in the final minute of the match.
The Dutch team will now go forward to the final on Sunday in Johannesburg's Soccer City Stadium, playing the winner of Wednesday's match between Germany and Spain.

New Delhi, Dec. 23: Get ready for the big bang.
When the going is good, the government got going with the cabinet tonight deciding to hit the market with a mega issue of 10 per cent each of the equity in Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Gas Authority of India Ltd (Gail).
Ten per cent in each of the companies put together is valued at Rs 11,500 crore at current market prices. The divestment will take place before this financial year is out.
After a meeting of the cabinet committee on disinvestment, Arun Shourie, the disinvestment minister, said the equity would be sold through a public offer.
Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee is feeling good, it seems. And why not'
He has won elections in three states, foreign exchange reserves topped $100 billion the other day and, most of all, the stock market is galloping.
This Christmas, which happens to be his birthday too, the government has decided to spread the cheer.
The market is buoyant and the Prime Minister and the finance minister wanted retail investors to share the buoyancy in the market, Shourie said.
He did not say that the sale would also see the finance minister through to the divestment target for 2003-04 of Rs 13,200 crore. Till November 20, only about Rs 1,335 crore had been collected.
The proposal to divest from ONGC and Gail was floated after the Supreme Court stopped privatisation of Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum because of a legal technicality.
Overcoming the hitch will entail amendments that have to be passed in Parliament, a painstaking process. ONGC and Gail have, obviously, been felt to be better options.
Shourie said a 10 per cent holding in ONGC is valued at current prices at Rs 10,000 crore (ruling around Rs 750 a share) and in Gail at Rs 1,500 crore (quoting around Rs 210 a share).
How much of the issue is to be set aside for retail investors, who appear to be returning to the stock market, will be decided by an inter-ministerial committee of finance, law, petroleum and disinvestment.
A total of 14.2 crore shares of ONGC and 8.4 crore shares of Gail will be available for sale.
Oil companies are a goldmine for the government. Even after the dilution, its stake in ONGC will be 74.11 per cent and in Gail 57.34 per cent.

Spoke with Dixie. She said she had 2 vehicles shipped to this area and something happened to this vehicle during shipping to where it did not work. She had the vehicle towed to this business and they repaired it the same day. On Sunday she noticed that the vehicle is leaking oil from the vehicle and she plans to bring the vehicle in to have that problem addressed.

Hi there. Can you tell me which companies make Coaxial cranksets? Very nice setup.
Hi lessells -- sorry I didn't see your post earlier, but I apparently do not get notified about posts in reply to my posts. (Is there a setting somewhere?)
This is an invention of mine, conceptualized over 8 years and in engineering and test over the past 2 years.
It's double-freewheeling, with a coaxial crank, so that motor force is transmitted from the LHS of the BB to the RHS without requiring the cyclist to pedal. Likewise, cyclist pedaling does not require any movement of the motor-driven sprocket or chain. The basic mechanism, concentrated in and around the BB, replaces the standard crankset. It, and the motor, mount and battery required no frame alterations. The coaxial drive integration system itself adds only 1-2 pounds to the bike, beyond which you have freedom to add whatever motive power source you wish.
The setup seen here is a low-cost 450 watt geared motor hosting a (custom) combo chainguard/tensioner, with a simple twist throttle, small controller and one of the lithium battery technologies. I've created an adapter for a chinese lithium battery to be mounted on a Topeak rack, and then a Topeak bag mounts to the top of the battery. It allows for a really strong rack; an enclosed, lightweight, firmly mounted, key-locked battery; and quick attachment/detachment of battery and bag (when not locked). Though not demonstrated here, the custom motor mount allows for placement of a standard bottle carrier atop it.
What's happening at present is some pre-production engineering to make the coaxial drive as affordable as possible. Some videos of the unit are posted on youtube under the BikeMotive name: http://www.youtube.com/user/BikeMotive?feature=mhee
What's your level of interest? Should we put you on a list to notify when the product is available? It's not likely to be as inexpensive as we'd like: we had targeted $250-300 but are operating now at price assumptions about double that.
Separate names with a comma.

The video describes the involvement of women in decision making especially in the identification and prioritization of projects within the County Climate Change Fund model. Most women in arid and semi-arid lands are marginalized and are not involved in decision making.
The Adaptation Consortium (Ada) is helping strengthen the institutional arrangements that will enable climate finance from the GCF and other sources to flow through County Governments, as subnational implementing entities. The DCF mechanism (known as the County Climate Change Fund (CCCF) is set up by County Governments with support from Ada to enable vulnerable communities prioritize adaptation investments through representative ward-level institutions.
The video highlights the importance of reliable climate information in supporting decision making at the household, community as well as the government level. the video also focus on community driven dissemination of weather information where participants were equipped with skills on how to receive, appreciate and effectively communicate the information
Decentralising Climate Funds (DCF) is an action-research and advocacy project supporting communities in Senegal, Mali, Kenya, and Tanzania to become more resilient to climate change through access to locally-controlled adaptation funds. In Mali and Senegal the project is implemented by the Near East Foundation (NEF) with Innovation, Environnement et Développement en Afrique (IED Afrique) and the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) as part of the Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters (BRACED) programme. In Kenya technical assistance is provided by the Adaptation Consortium (ADA) and IIED under the programme Strengthening Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change in Kenya Plus (StARCK+).
In Tanzania technical assistance is provided by the Local Climate Adaptive Living Facility of the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF-LoCAL) and IIED under the Assisting Institutions and Markets 4 Resilience (Aim 4 Resilience) programme.
All four programmes are funded by the UK government.
The video is a testimony of how the Isiolo County Adaptation Fund implemented projects has impacted on the lives of communities in Isiolo
The video describes how the Isiolo County Adaptation Fund (ICAF) has helped communities in Isiolo revive the customary institution of " Dedha". "Dedha" is about controlling use of land and water, for use in drought and dry season within Isiolo

1. When engaging in social media marketing will you keep my targeted audience in mind?
Most social media companies will focus on making the connection. They do not care whatsoever who that connection is. What good is having thousands of connections if they do not become prospects, new clients, referral sources or possible JV partners. When I help my LinkedIn clients, I focus on their target audience. I research each individual potential connection to see if they could be a future prospect, referral source or joint venture opportunity. I focus on the quality of the connection, not the quantity because my clients do not care how many people I connect with them. They care more about how much money they are making from LinkedIn and their social media efforts.
2. Do you create a system to take the online conversation offline?
Many consultants do not take the most crucial step of any online social media connection -- They fail to take the online conversation offline. If you think you are going to sell high-end products and services just by having a social media presence, then I have a Brooklyn Bridge to sell you. You need to have a system in place that consistently gets your website and information in front of your prospects. You need to engage with them on many levels. And, you need to find ways that you can get them to take the next step in your relationship - and have a phone conversation with you.
3. How engaged are you in social media conversations?
Anyone can post content to groups - a five year old can even do that if you show them how. If your social media consultant does not understand direct response copywriting techniques that encourages conversation, then it's time to move on. If your social media consultant does not regularly monitor the conversations that's happening online every day, then move on. The person you choose to handle your social media needs to know how to assess the conversations and find ways you can contribute. I spend time every day, scanning the LinkedIn Q & A boards and the different groups that my clients belong to. I look for opportunities that my clients can add value. I look for ways to spark healthy debates. That's what effective social media marketing is all about.
4. When focusing on social media profiles do you focus strictly on keyword optimization and being found first for you niche?
If you go to LinkedIn and do a search on internet marketing, you will see the number one person has only 145 connections and the number 2 person has 154 connections. Now internet marketing is a popular key phrase. In fact, the search gets 487,100 results for that phrase. So imagine how many people check out their profiles. One has to wonder why they get so few connections. It is because the person who handles their profile forgot, if you want to create a connection, you need to have prospect focused copy within the profile. You cannot just have it stuffed with keywords. Your profile has to show me why I want to connect or do business with you.
5. How can you ensure that my social media messaging stays consistent with my branding?
One of my clients, Adam Hommey, Founder of Help My Website Sell, started to create content that dealt with how to work effectively with your website team. How does that relate to a brand that is heavily focused on increasing website conversions? Most companies would have distributed his article on their social networks without any concern.
