The US space agency NASA has unveiled a stunning image of northern lights captured from one of its satellites. The infrared imagery of northern lights glowing over northern Canada just before Christmas season is a delight to watch for stargazers and space enthusiasts.
According to NASA scientists, a mass of energetic particles coming out from the Sun collided with the earth's magnetic field just few hours after the winter solstice (an astronomical phenomenon marking the day with the shortest period of daylight and the longest night of the year). The collision of particles and the strong solar wind stream led to the generation of northern lights over northern Canada.
The Suomi NPP satellite captured the breathtaking image with the "day-night band" (DNB) of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on December 22, this year. The northern lights stretched across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavut, and Northwest Territories, areas that often fall under the auroral oval.
Scientists from the US space agency explained that the DNB has capability to detect dim light signals such as auroras, airglow, gas flares, and reflected moonlight. In the case of the image above, the sensor detected the visible light emissions as energetic particles rained down from Earth's magnetosphere and into the gases of the upper atmosphere.
While explaining the process of lighting in the space, researchers said that the collision of fast moving solar particles with the Earth's magnetic field accelerates particles trapped in the space around Earth (such as in the radiation belts). Later, these particles are sent crashing down into Earth's upper atmosphere—at altitudes of 100 to 400 kilometers (60 to 250 miles)—where they excite oxygen and nitrogen molecules. Gases present in the atmosphere give up their energy by releasing photons. Different gases emit different colours; oxygen emits green and sometimes red light, while nitrogen is more orange or red.
These stunning solar wind events resulting in colourful lighting can happen anytime of the year. Scientists just wait for the right moment to capture them in the camera and later release those incredible shots to mesmerise the space enthusiasts.
Phenomenons like aurora borealis are pretty common when seen from space. Previously, US astronaut Scott Kelly had clicked and posted breathtaking pictures of the Northern lights on the microblogging website — Twitter. With the help of ISS's satellite he was able to access the internet and tweeted the astonishing pics.
The Aurora Borealis is caused by geomagnetic storms initiated by strong solar winds. However, this time the winds were too powerful which made northern lights visible from south than normal and people especially stargazers in northern England were able to witness the magical event from the Earth.
Apart from strong solar winds, 'coronal hole' near the equator of the sun also played a vital role in making the Aurora Borealis visible from the Earth. Astronomers say that 'coronal hole' was perfectly aligned with the Earth which made the event breathtaking.
Suomi NPP is the result of a partnership between NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Department of Defense.

Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii has confirmed Square Enix's intent to bring Dragon Quest XI to the Nintendo NX in a Japanese interview with Nintendo Dream as translated by Gematsu.
The game (also coming out on the PS4 and 3DS in Japan) had previously been linked with Nintendo's upcoming system, but at the time Square Enix only said that the system was under consideration.
Also in the interview, Horii says that all three versions of the game will be released simultaneously to avoid spoilers.
Recently, Dragon Quest X (an MMO only announced for Japan) was also confirmed for the NX.
For those of you hoping that XI makes it to North America, Kim and Dan have a few things to say on the topic.
[Source: Gematsu]
Our TakeGiven that DQ X is coming out on the system, it's no surprise that the more traditional, story-based DQ XI is as well.

Review by KristianATJ
"One of the most singular literary personalities in the world, a writer who resembled absolutely no-one else" - Italo Calvino on Georges PerecTaking inspiration from one of my more organised friends, I'm planning on spending at least part of my summer contemplating my dissertation, so as not to find myself overburdened come next May. However, having had to desperately rush in order to get my preliminary title handed in - in order to meet the deadline - I panicked, which is why 'Experiments in Narrative Structure' is going to be my focus. An interesting topic, to be sure, but one that comes attached with numerous difficulties - at the moment, not only is my outline much too general, but actually selecting texts is no easy feat either.It was this process that led me to Georges Perec's Life A User's Manual, a novel that fits my own brief perfectly, in that in terms of execution, it is both unconventional and hugely ambitious. Presented as a historical document - complete with index and chronology - it tells the story of the Rue Simon-Crubellier apartment block, and all the people who have ever been a part of the building. Perec takes the reader from room to room, describing everything - fixtures, fittings, furniture and all - in extensive detail in order to set the scene, before relaying the stories - which range from the relatively mundane to the bizarre - of those who have lived there. Indeed, description is a device Perec uses throughout, eschewing dialogue almost completely, a bold move that pays off because Perec crafts such a vivid narrative, leaving little to the imagination, as is appropriate for a novel presented as a definitive account.It seems somehow fitting that I chose to read this novel the same week I saw Synecdoche, New York. Both pieces share the thematic link of death as a natural consequence of life - as the only possible ending to every story - whilst at the same time managing to celebrate the capacity of the human spirit. Caden Cotard is the sort of obsessive whose vision would have been perfectly at home in Rue Simon-Crubellier; after all, the novel spends a fair amount of its time dealing with obsession, an emotion the very nature of which means that a large number of the tales are devoid of happy endings; as each new story begins, you find yourself waiting for the 'but' that frequently signifies imminent tragedy. Never is this more apparent than in the story of Percival Bartlebooth, a central character of sorts whose fate is emblematic of much of the narrative. A millionaire concerned that his wealth will consign him to a life of idle boredom, he concocts a scheme that is entirely self-defeating, but will serve to keep him occupied for the rest of his days. He spends ten years learning the art of watercolour painting, before heading out on a twenty-year long world tour, during which time he produces five hundred paintings. Upon completion, each one is sent to an expert puzzle-maker, who converts each of them into a seven-hundred-and-fifty-piece jigsaw. Returning from his travels, Bartlebooth begins to put the puzzles back together, with each completed puzzle being converted back into a watercolour painting, before then being sent back to the place where it was created, where it undergoes a process that renders it as nothing more than the blank sheet of paper it once was so long ago.The nature of this plan means that Bartlebooth, as intended, leaves no visible mark on the world, a desire on his part that is filled with a sense of melancholy and defeatism - after all, is there not within us all a longing to be remembered? In undertaking such a time-consuming yet ultimately useless task, Bartlebooth impresses upon the reader the suggestion that most of us end up leaving no lasting impact on the world whatsoever - he has fully accepted this as truth, and so dedicated his life to something which ends up removing him from society, whilst ostensibly leaving no trace of his existence. Yet that isn't the whole truth; after all, Bartlebooth's influence is felt throughout the novel, and he has clearly had an impact on a great number of people - not just those living within Rue Simon-Crubellier, but those who heard of the man purely by accident, such as the art critic Charles-Albert Beyssandre, whose interference eventually undermines the success of Bartlebooth's plan. The idea that all of the stories within the novel are connected even whilst they appear to be self-contained is crucial to its success, creating a sense of community that illuminates proceedings, and the air of inevitability of failure that hangs over the novel never detracts, because the journeys the characters undertake almost always have meaning, which lessens the impact of their eventual failure, whilst also ensuring that any successful outcome is a cause of great contentment to the reader.In contemplating Perec, Warren Motte and Jean-Jacques Poucel defined the four directions that the author claimed to have pursued in his writing: "a concern for the everyday and its details; a tendency toward confession and autobiography; an impulse toward formal innovation; and a desire to tell engaging stories." Life A User's Manual is a triumphant blend of all of these directions, and has to be considered one of the most significant twentieth century literary achievements.
Review by souva
Seldom you come across a book which is so magnificent in its scope, so disarmingly rich in style and variation, that after finishing it, you feel quite numb and dull. And later, when you try to reflect on the book, you are desperately short of words and expressions. Common examples include James Joyce's "Ulysses" or Dostoyevsky's "Brothers Karamazov".Recently, I've finished reading "Life: A User's Manual" by Georges Perec and without hesitation, I've placed it in the aforementioned category.I'm supposed to call "Life: A User's Manual" a book, or a novel, but I prefer the word 'tapestry', and indeed, it is an ingenuous one. The title page describes it as "Novels", in plural, and we'll understand its significance a little later. The central character of the narrative is a wealthy Englishman called Bartlebooth (recently I've come to know that this is a cross between Herman Melville's Bartleby and Valery Larbaud's Barnabooth; such tongue-in-cheek references are abundant in this piece of work) living in a Parisian apartment at 11, Rue Simon-Crubellier. Not knowing what to do with his time or his fortune, he contrives an extensive plan which will keep him busy for the rest of his life. His plan goes as follows—1) In the first 10 years he devotes himself learning the techniques of water-colour under the guidance of Valene, who also comes to live at 11 Rue Simon-Crubellier.2) Then, he starts his voyage spanning a period of 20 years around the world, accompanied by his faithful butler Smautf (an obvious reference to Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days", bringing back the sweet memories of my childhood days) and painting 500 landscapes in different ports in different countries.3) As soon as he finishes each of these canvases, it is sent to Gaspard Winckler, a clever and ingenuous craftsman (another resident of 11 Rue Simon-Crubellier) who converts it into a jigsaw puzzle, increasingly difficult in nature, and stores them for future.4) After returning from his voyage, Bartlebooth solves those jigsaw puzzles.5) Each of the solved puzzles is then transferred to Georges Morellet (still another resident of the same building) who then rebinds the paper with a special glue and restores the original painting, removing the support of the pasteboard.6) This painting, which is in almost the identical state when Bartlebooth painted it, is then sent to the port where it was painted, exactly 20 years after the day of its creation.7) The painting is then placed into seawater until the colour dissolves, leaving a plain virgin sheet of paper.8) This blank sheet is then returned to Bartlebooth.9) The whole process is repeated for all the 500 paintings.Now, as the narrative progresses, it dawns upon the readers that the novel is set not only on the day of Bartlebooth's death, but also, at the precise moment of his death. All the characters and objects, living in the microcosm of this Parisian apartment, are frozen in time and space by the author as he goes on painstakingly describing each of them, in each of the flats in the building, where they are and what they have been doing at that fateful moment, with elaborate references to their past, present and future. And this act of describing them is actually what the novel consists of. Probably now, the word "novels" makes some sense, because in the course of this narrative, we've come across more than 100 main stories (concerning all the residents and their lives), spanning almost 142 years (1833-1975).But, what is the point of telling such a convoluted array of stories? And, moreover, what is the point of indulging oneself into such a tedious and futile endeavour like Bartlebooth? The answers are the same—NOTHING!The most striking characteristic of this tapestry is its capability of referring to itself and its elements. The book itself is in the fashion of a vast jigsaw puzzle, similar to the ones Bartlebooth has been solving throughout his life. All the different stories and characters are the random pieces of the puzzle. As you are going through them, you engage yourself in joining them together, groping around in dark, unsure of yourself. Eventually, at the end, this tapestry emerges with full splendour.The quixotic effort of Bartlebooth and that of the author touch upon yet another theme. However hard a person tries to attribute a meaning to an act, ultimately it is devoid of any significance, or rather, if it has any significance at all, that is purely random (remember Sassure's "Signifier - Signified" duo which is random). We are nothing but preys of an illusory meaningfulness which we pursue till the end of our lives. The effort of both Bartlebooth and Perec is a mockery of this illusion. At the end, Bartlebooth dies without finishing the project, in the process of becoming aware of the impossibility of such a task.While Bartlebooth's bizarre project provides the central theme, 11 Rue Simon-Crubellier gives the book its structure. Supposedly, the narrative moves like a Knight in a chess game, one chapter for each room (thus, the more rooms an apartment has the more chapters are devoted to them). Perec haults in each room and tells us about the residents of the room, or the past residents of the room, or about some of their acquaintances. Perec devises the elevation of the building as a 10×10 grid: 10 storeys, including basements and attics and 10 rooms across, including 2 for the stairwell (the plan is given at the end of the book, along with a 58 pages long Index!). Each room is assigned to a chapter, and the order of the chapters is given by the knight's moves on the grid.George Perec was a member of the OuLiPo ("Ouvroir de littérature potentielle", which translates roughly as "workshop of potential literature") group. The members of the group were devoted to "constrained writing" techniques (Perec himself wrote an entire book without using the vowel e for once). In this novel also, there are certain constraints that he subjects himself to, like the number of lists in each chapter, number of objects etc. Unfortunately, as an uninitiated reader, I couldn't delve deep into such numerological nitty-gritty.The book swarms with numerous references to other authors, books and characters, including Jules Verne, Captain Nemo, Passepartout, Kafka, Nabokov, Gaston Leroux, Cheri-Bibi, Marcel Proust and so on. As a novice reader it is an unpardonable audacity to even think of uncovering all those subtle nuances, but if you can, at least, sneak a peek at some of them, you will be justly rewarded. But be careful, there are plenty of red herrings, which may soon thwart you off the track.Another nasty twist at the end of this post! It is not Perec, who is describing all these disparate elements of a story. Rather, he is just describing the concept behind an unfinished sketch by Valene (the art teacher of our old friend Bartlebooth), aspiring to depict the building and its residents in fullest possible details (yes, along with the incidents from their past lives). Valene stops working on this painting precisely at the moment of Bartlebooth's death!What should be said about this one-of-its-kind book, if not diabolic?

NEW Doctor Who Peter Capaldi has revealed he mixed with unsuspecting sci-fi fans in comic stores after accepting the role.
The Scots actor, 56, was sworn to confidentiality after agreeing to the role of the 12th Doctor earlier this year. But during the interim period before it was officially announced, Capaldi purposefully stood within touching distance of those fans desperate to know who the next Doctor would be.
He said: "When I was Doctor-elect, so to speak, I used to go to [sci-fi shop] Forbidden Planet and just hang around.

"It would amuse me that people wouldn't know they were standing next to the next Doctor. "
Before accepting the role, he admits to having one or two reservations.
He said: "I had to think about the level of visibility," he added. "People spoke to me before and recognised me, but nothing like this.
"I had to decide if I was ready to live with that."

Review by millett23
This is 3 stories in one book. I would have to say my favorite is Jack and Skyler getting bonded. I am afraid though, that I am getting a little tired of this series. At first I LOVED them and don't get me wrong I still like them, but the series is really drawing out. Cruz just need to finish the series already.
Review by Bookaliciouspam
Holy novella Batman! Bloody Valentine is a fantastic tie in novella to the already much loved by me Blue Bloods Series. This is one of the few series I have been reading even before I became a book blogger and my love for all things Van Alen has yet to diminish one bit.What I freaking love about this book is the fact that we get to see so much about Allegra, so many mysteries are laid to rest as we learn more about the early life of Charles and Allegra van Alen. We even find out who Schuyler's human dad is!We also see Oliver make some bad decisions while trying to overcome his addiction to being bitten, and his love for Schuyler. During this time we are introduced to one of the Witches of de la Cruz's new adult title coming soon The Witches of East End.The bonding, oh my the bonding. Of course with Jack and Schuyler it couldn't come off without some hitches but it was beautiful. I feel like a mother who's baby is all grown up and is getting married as I read these two lovers exchange important life long vows.I seriously cannot wait for the next book Lost in Time slated to come out in October of this year!FTC Disclosure: I bought this book on my Nook.
Review by KatKealy
Not bad, but they keep getting shorter and shorter. I'd call it more of a short story. I read it during lunch and played with my iPhone for the rest of the hour - it's an okay book, but don't expect it to kill much time.

On a day when the aviation regulator directed Air India to ground all six of its Dreamliners following the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)'s worldwide advisory to ground B-787s, civil aviation minister Ajit Singh says the government will wait for the US regulator's full report before taking further steps. In an interview with Disha Kanwar and Surajeet Das Gupta, the Union minister talks about Air India's contract with Boeing and the implications of the latest development.
How serious is the grounding of Dreamliners and how you are going to tackle this issue?
At this point, there is not much clarity on the FAA's advisory. We are waiting for the FAA report. As Dreamliner is made by a US manufacturer (Boeing), the US regulator should first give a clearance to the aircraft. Based on that, DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) will give its approval. Air India Dreamliners had some minor glitches, but those problems are not because of the battery (FAA has reportedly cited probles in the jet's lithium batteries). FAA has to carry out some tests on whether the lithium battery is creating problems and Boeing also has to come up with tests. We can speculate at this time, but there is not much information. See, we were only flying to Dubai and Frankfurt and some local destinations, and we won't give them permission to fly until DGCA gives them the clearance.
How India's interests will be protected if this crisis continues for a longer period of time? Is there any compensation clause?
On the face of it, it does not look like a big problem. But in this business, there can be no tolerance even if there is a perception of safety problem. We can talk about it, but let's wait and see. At this point, we are not clear about how serious the problem is, what are the commercial implications and how long will it take. If we say anything now, it would be speculation. As should first have some clarity from Boeing and FAA.
Does your contract have some compensation clause if the aircraft is grounded due to fault of Boeing?
I am not sure of each clause of it. But normally, we expect that if it causes any commercial problem, Boeing will have to compensate.
If Dreamliners are grounded for a long time, what is the contingency plan?
Let's wait for the (FAA) report. Dreamliners are doing very well from an operational point of view. We got positive reports from the customers' and financial angle. The domestic services of Dreamliners would be absorbed by the existing fleet of aircraft and flights to Dubai, Paris and Frankurt operated by these airplanes would now be serviced by Boeing 777s for the time being.
Are you worried of this as Air India's turnaround plan is mainly hinged upon Dreamliners?
It will be too early to worry. We are waiting for the FAA report.

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative says it will make scientific information absolutely free and available to everybody.
A charitable foundation backed by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan said on Monday that it has bought the Canadian research platform Meta as part of a mission to eradicate disease.
Meta uses artificial intelligence to quickly read and comprehend scientific papers and then provide insights to researchers. Scientists say it will bring a massive shift in the democratisation of knowledge.
Meta capabilities will be unified in a tool that will be made available to scientists for free.

Hello Everyone,
I had laparoscopic surgery 13 weeks ago to repair 1 umbilical and 2 inguinal hernias. The doctor used mesh for the repair. I had a lot of pain after surgery, but noticed right away that one spot was way worse than the rest. The pain is located 3 to 4 inches below my belly button and runs horizontally to the top of my right hip. I also have internal pain that almost feels like the screen is flipping or folding. I do notice that digestion of food and shortly before bowel movement make it hurt worse.
I told my doctor about the problem about 4 weeks after surgery. The doctors reaction was, "Thats the area on top of the screen, it needs time to heal" So I waited a total of 13 weeks now and went back to see the doctor this past Tuesday. The doctor checked me out and said everything looks great. After telling the doctor about the painful area, I was told again âits the top of the screen and it needs to healâ. I was given a script for ibuprofen 800 and told to take 3 a day and come back to see them in 2 weeks. Im doing this, but let me tell ya, these ibuprofen do nothing for the pain.
I read everywhere that people are healing in 2 to 4 weeks with my surgery. I would completely agree with that time frame on 90% of my repair. That last 10% is more painful than the hernias I went in to repair. Its very painful at times and very sensitive the touch. I have trouble sleeping and its very hard to wear pants other than joggers with the elastic cut out.
I guess I dont really have a question, but am looking for advise. Has anyone else had problems like this? Any idea what might be causing it? The hernia locations feel very strong and there is no pain, its just that one area.
Thank you for any advise!

I'm having the same problem. I had two inguinal hernia repairs two weeks ago today. The pain was extremely severe for about five days. Then, the overall pain started to lessen. I was left with a dull, minor pain at the surgery sites (orthoscopic surgery)...but, two days ago had an entirely different kind of pain eminating from the second repair site. It was so severe that I would buckle over...doesn't happen when i'm laying down. If I walk slowly, it might be ok..but sometimes it just comes out of nowhere and is a stabbing (life an ice pic) kind of pain...it's extreme...Sounds similar to your circumstance..but i'm only at the two week mark. I, too , am interested in a response from others.

hernia repair pain
My dad and I both had hiatal hernias which were repaired with the mesh screens. I had my surgery about 9 weeks ago. My dad warned me that just as I would get to feeling better that I would have intense stabbing pain. His doctor told him that it was only where the mesh was healing and there was nothing that they could do. About 2 days ago, I started having the stabbing pains. They come and go but they are extremely intense. I haven't been to the doctor because I don't want to get the same response. It helps to know that we are not the only ones going thru it. I hope this response helps.

Hello. On April 21 2010 I was told i had a Large hiatal hernia. My doctor said i needed a surgery since it was going upwards towards my chest & a laser surgery we did. A week in & i was vomiting anything that goes in my mouth even water. I lost a-lot of weight & i kept getting sicker. & than slowly sometime in 2011 i started to be able to eat more. But since than i been feeling nothing but pain and my belly is always bloated & as of now there saying i need to be dilated.? Which i have been 3 times already. They also added if i undo the surgery the bloating will all go away but there's a chance the Hernia will return & even cause me cancer in the long run. I don't understand the point of everything done to me if i'm still feeling the pain even worse. Each time he does the scope on me to look around. He repeats himself saying the surgery looks fine. & that's Wonderful to hear!!!! BUT why is the pain back and much worse than before .? I really feel like a mess & i really want my life back. someone please give me some help on what i can do from this point on & thank you

Hello, thanks everyone for your comments. I had bilateral laproscopic inguinal hernia repair two weeks ago. I too was feeling pretty good by day 9 or 10 and was even up for jogging 2-3 miles. Then two days ago, I began feeling sharp pain on my left side 2 inches or so below my belly button. The pain goes down into the groin area, to the top part of my thigh. What the heck is this? I worry that I was too active too early and messed up the mesh. Is this possible? To those of you who experienced this sharp pain, did it eventually go away? Thanks!

Sept 22, 2014, I had a ventral hernia surgery located above my belly button in my upper abs between my rib cage. I had laryscopy. Everything seems ok but one thing..... I'm just starting my fourth week of recovery. I am pretty much still bed ridden. Im better than I was the first two weeks but I have reached a stage that if I walk around or am up in any way more than 10-15 minutes I start getting this intense stabbing burning pain that stops me in my tracks. Nevermind trying to do anything else....I can't. I tried to go to the store..darn near killed me.....so right now I'm icing the area when it smarts, taking meds, and try to walk 4-5 times a day. I am hoping this starts getting better soon. The doctor said it would hurt....she wasn't kidding. My last visit a week ago she said its one of the most painful surgeries I could ever have. I hope this helps. Positive vibes for all who are going through this.

Incisional hernia infected
Hi there, my mom had an incisional hernia repair about 13 days ago, she's back in hospital right now since it got infected somehow. On day 11 after surgery she started having fever. We administered fever meds and it broke. 3 hours later the fever was there again. We packed the car and took her back to hospital. When we got there they said there's nothing to worry about since the incision looks fine (not red or swollen) and the fever breaks when meds are given. His words weren't even cold when we started noticing that the area around the incision was hardening and an hour later a foul smelling puss literally shot out of one of the stitches like a fountain. The 3 docters I phoned prior to taking my mom to hospital, all but the last one said its nothing to worry about, the last one said to get her to the emergency room straight away. Just goes to show that doctors can be wrong and thus its always safer to get a second or third opinion if you are unsure. What worries me is the fact that she has been complaining of her mouth being sore on the inside at the top and the tongue feels raw, I can't find anything on the net and the doctor didn't even look in her mouth or anything after she told him. This started just before the fever did, wich tells me it is somehow related? She has had constant pain since the surgery wich worsened every day, pain meds didn't help at all. She couldn't eat, only jelly's and ice suckers and she is constantly thirsty and takes small sips of water frequently. They now have her on antibiotics and cleans out the puss from the incision frequently, but if it doesn't start clearing up by tomorrow they will have to re-open.

The Kluger is an ideal car for me with three children. It has plenty of room for the kids to spread out and be comfortable. Top quality finishes throughout. Leather seats are great. Plenty of room for shopping etc. I love the way the rear seats fold down so you wouldn't even realise the extra seats are there - and doesn't impinge on space. Great car - have not had a single problem with it. Drives great, looks great and practical too.

Primus - Blame It On The Fish Trailer (2006)
17 October 2006 Music 162 mins
In 2003, the eccentric rock band Primus returned from a four-year recording and touring hiatus with a new collection of material, ANIMALS SHOULD NOT ACT LIKE PEOPLE, and a supporting tour dubbed the Tour de Fromage. BLAME IT ON THE FISH documents the tour in typical Primus (i.e. weird) fashion with an appropriately bizarre collection of live-performance clips, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage, as well as bonus material that includes a "futuristic" mockumentary that reimagines the band 60 years into the future.

text: Veson Nautical, the US-based maritime software developer delivering chartering, operations and accounting solutions for cargo transportation, announced that Motia Compagnia di Navigazione based in Venice, Italy has chosen Vesonís Integrated Maritime Operations System (IMOS). Motia is the technical manager for the Netherlands-based Seaarland Shipping fleet, which implemented Vesonís IMOS last year. IMOS has been managing all aspects of cargo transportation for Seaarlandís fleet, which includes 11 handymax product tankers, 3 panamax bulk carriers, 4 Aframax Tankers, and 3 Panamax tankers. The fleet also includes 23 chartered tankers ranging from 35,000 to 160,000 dwt. Seaarland is currently embarking on a new building program which will eventually include 5 Panamax and 4 Minicape Bulk carriers, 3 Suezmax, 2 Aframax, 1 Panamax and 2 Product Handymax Tankers. Motia also has a new building plan which includes 2 Medium range and 2 handymax Product Tankers. Most of the vessels are employed in pool partnerships with Handytankers and Aframax International. Motia has installed IMOS at its Venice headquarters. The software is now up and running and they are testing IMOS OnBoard currently. OnBoard should be fully operational for all the vessels this summer. IMOS allows Seaarland and Motia staff to share data and yet contribute their activity information to different databases. IMOS for Seaarland and Motia runs on one server each, which is accessed by different remote users since accounting for the two companies are handled by different software packages. Vesonís IMOS readily handles the various locales and effectively consolidates the dataódelivering information quickly to the ship and office personnel. In addition, management can access both systems quickly for reporting purposes. Vesonís sophisticated multi-layered security module ensures only password-protected users can access information, on a read-only basis as necessary.

Hey fam! Just a quick note to let you know that there will be some changes to our stir fry meals as of next week, cause unfortunately it's time to say goodbye to...Mr. Capsicum.
If you didn't already know, we use the method of Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) to seal our meals in which oxygen is removed from the food to slow down the oxidation process...ie. it allows the product to stay fresh naturally for as long as possible!
While we've got all this down-pat to give you meals that last for 7-9 days, it can get a little bit tricky with certain ingredients like the 'ol capsicum. Capsicums are naturally receptive to spoilage due to its soft cell structure, its low acid count and the anaerobic environment of our packaging. When capsicum cells break down, this causes the onset of Lactic Acid Bacteria growth - ie. creates an off-flavour similar to buttermilk or vinegars...and trust us, that ain't nice on capsicum! Then when we package our meals using MAP, it actually creates an environment that encourages that nah-sty acid to grow and populate.
Soo what does all of that mean?! Basically, it turns out that the once-thought sweet capsicum can potentially shorten the shelf-life of our stir fry meals. And cause we only want to bring you the best of the best and the freshest of the fresh, we've decided to say adios to zee capsicum so you can enjoy a killer stir fry meal just as it should be!
Stir fry meals include: Sticky Teriyaki Beef & Summer Stir Fry, Honey-Glazed Ginger Salmon, Macadamia Crusted Cod & Summer Veg and Satay Chicken with Stir Fry Vegetables.

From then until now...
A brief history Marcos Cars
Find out more in "Making my Marque" by Jem Marsh, available from the Club Shop
The word Xylon comes from the Greek for wood. Manufactured from 1959 to 1960 this was the first of the Marcos models. Powered by the Ford 105E engine, the cars were originally built in Dolgellau in Wales, and then later in Luton. Of the 9 cars built, most were competition cars, and were driven with great success by the likes of Sir Jackie Stewart and Jackie Oliver.
Luton Gullwing
The Luton Gullwing, as it was known, was based on the Xylon. Introduced in 1962, the car was sold in both race and road form, and with the use of more fibreglass in the construction, a more streamlined shape was obtained. Utilising the same running gear as the Xylon, 13 cars were produced in Luton.
The final model prior to the introduction of the classic Marcos two seater was the Fastback, introduced in 1963. 18 cars were produced, including the first ever Marcos Spyder, at Greenland Mills, Bradford on Avon - and was to be the home of Marcos for the next 7 years.
Check out the Historical Marcos Register - Maarten Krikken
Unveiled at the 1963 Earls Court Racing Car Show, the 1800 Volvo powered Marcos GT stole the show. This was a totally new car and a shape way ahead of its time, designed by the Adam's brothers. Produced from 1964 to 1966, there were approximately 100 cars built at Greenland Mills, Bradford On Avon.
After the 1800 came the 1500, a wooden chassis car using the Ford 1500 GT pre crossflow engine. Under 100 cars were produced at Greenland Mills between 1966 and 1967.
Based on the 1500, with the same wooden chassis, the 1650 was launched. It was fitted with the Chris Laurence 1650 engine, and around 30 cars were produced in 1967.
The 1600 was introduced as a result of Ford introducing the 1600 crossflow engine. This was virtually identical to the 1500 / 1650, with a few minor alterations. Of all the early series of cars, this proved to be one of the most popular with around 200 cars being built at Greenland Mills, Bradford on Avon between 1967 and 1969.
The original Marcos Mantis was produced in 1968 and was a sportscar-prototype. Powered by a Formula 1 Repco Brabham V8 engine, It was a one off car built for racing, and was not intended for production. The only race was the 1000 km race in Spa in 1968, were it was DNF because of electrical problems , as the race was hit by severe rains. The XP now resides in the USA.
Mini Marcos
The Mini Marcos began life in 1965, and has carried on to the present day. Over the years it has gone through various forms and over 1300 cars have been produced. A Mini Marcos competed in the Le Mans 24 hrs in 1966 and finished 15th.
Mini Marco Mould
3 Litre V6 - Wooden Chassis
In 1969 the 3 litre V6 Ford engine and gearbox were introduced. Modifications included an upholstered dash, power bulge on the bonnet and electric windows. 119 cars were built at Greenland Mills, Bradford on Avon.
3 Litre V6 - Metal Chassis
In 1969 now based in Westbury, Marcos introduced the Metal chassis car. Visually similar to the 3 litre wooden chassied car, but utilising a 1.5 inch square tubular steel chassis. 196 cars were made.
3 Litre Volvo
Built from 1969 to 1972, with the American market in mind, Marcos went back to using a Volvo engine, this time the B30 straight six from the Volvo 164. The main external feature being the offset power bulge to accommodate the carburettors. 172 cars were produced.
Mantis M70
Between 1970 and 1971 the Mantis M70 was launched. It was the only four seater Marcos produced. The Mantis featured a 1.5 inch square section tubular chassis and ran the triumph 2.5 PI engine and gearbox. 32 cars were made in all.
2.5 Litre Triumph
In 1971, the 2.5 Triumph engined car was available. This was based on exactly the same format as the 3 Litre Volvo, but using the 2.5 Litre carb Triumph engine and 4 speed gearbox. Only 12 cars were made and were externally indistinguishable from the 3 Litre Volvo.
1600 - Metal Chassis
From 1971 to 1972, an economy version of the 1600 with a Metal Chassis was produced, utilising the Ford MK2 1600 cross flow engine and gearbox. The car had no bumpers, sills or head lamp covers. It was built to a somewhat basic specification. Only 6 cars were produced.
Marcos ceased production and went into receivership in 1972. The 3 litre shape was then reintroduced in 1982 in component form to take the following engines: 3 Litre Essex V6, 2.8 Cologne V6, 1600 Crossflow, 2 Litre / 2.5 Triumph straight six, 2 Litre Ford Pinto and the 2.0 Ford V4. Around 130 of these self build cars were produced from 1982 through until 1989/90.
Mantula - Coupe
The Mantula was introduced in 1983, based on the 3 Litre with revised styling, the Rover V8 engine and an updated interior featured. Very few of these cars were factory built, and approximately 170 cars left the factory between 1983 and 1992. Independent Rear Suspension was introduced to the Mantula in 1986 (both Coupe and Spyder models). It was fitted utilising a Ford differential, unequal length wishbones and rear disc brakes. IRS was available to both components cars and factory built models.
Mantula - Spyder
The Mantula (S) was introduced in 1985. This was the first introduction of a convertible Marcos, bar the Fastback Spyder. Again, very few cars were factory built, 119 spyders were produced from 1985 to 1992.
In 1991 the Martina was launched, it was based on the Mantula shape as a budget version of the model. Nearly all Martina's were component cars utilising the engine, transmission and suspension from the Ford Cortina MK 4 & 5. Both spyders and coupe were produced and engines varied from 1600 Pinto to Cologne V6. Approximately 80 cars were produced through till 1994.
Based on the Mantula V8 injection, the Mantara was launched in 1992. It featured a re-vamped body and an updated interior. The main feature of the car being the front suspension that was modified to use the McPherson strut. All cars from this time onwards were factory built. The Mantara also had the option of fitting the 2.0 and 2.0 Turbo Tomcat engine. 137 Mantara's in all were produced at the factory in Westbury from 1992 to 1998.
The LM 500 road cars were introduced in 1994 to compliment the success of Marcos in the British GT Championships in 1994/95 and competing at Le Mans in 1995. Powered by the 4.0 (LM 400) and 5.0 (LM 500) Rover V8 engines, 35 LM's in total were built from 1995 to 1998 including one LM 200 that was bound for Greece.
LM 500 Race cars
The LM series of cars brought Marcos back into the fore front of GT racing in 1994. Two factory cars sponsored by Computacenter dominated. 7 cars in all were produced.
LM 600 Race Car
The LM600 race car won the British GT Championship in 1995, 4 cars were built as homologated race cars, but not produced in road going form. These were the first cars to use the Chevrolet engine. In 1995 two LM 600 cars were entered for the Le MAns 24 hr, with drivers David Leslie, Chirs Marsh, and Francois Migault in the umber 71 car and Tommy Erdos, Cris Hodgetts, Cor Euser, in the number 70. Although the 71 car finished it was not classified as it doi nit complete an appropriate number of laps, the 70 car suffred a drive train breakage and could not continue.
Introduced in 1997, the Mantaray was based on the Mantara with a re-styled bonnet and rear end. Utilising the Rover V8 range of engines, and the 2.0 and 2.0 Turbo tomcat engine, 26 cars in all were produced from 1997 to 1999.
In 1997, the Mantis was launched. It was a successor to the LM range of cars, and the most powerful road going Marcos ever produced. Powered by the 4.6 Ford Mustang engine and drive train, the Mantis displayed a more aggressive stance, and the GT version was available producing 500 bhp in a supercharged inter-cooled form. 51 cars in all were produced from 1997, the last being built in 2002 by Marcos Heritage.
Mantis Challenge
The Mantis challenge car was produced for the Marcos one make race series in 1998 / 99. Running the Ford Mustang engine, it was built to full FIA race specification. 38 cars were built and many of which are still performing to this day.
In 2000 Marcos Sales Ltd was put into administration and the assets of the company were acquired by Marcos Heritage.
In 2002 Californian Tony Stelliga bought the Mantaray II project and developed the range of TS cars under the company Marcos Engineering Ltd.
The TS 250 (Marcasite) was launched in 2002. Based on the Mantaray it ustilised the same Marcos steel chassis and McPherson struts as per the earlier Mantara, LM and Mantis models, but was developed with the Ford Duratech 2.5 V6 engine. Only 7 of these cars were made.
In 2003 the TS 500 came along with a restyled bonnet and was fitted with a 5 Litre Rover derived V8 Javelin engine. Less than a handful of these cars were made.
2004, Marcos Engineering Ltd moved out of Wiltshire and into new premises at Kenilworth in Warwickshire the TS 500 was phased out and the revamped TSO range appeared.
Heritage MK VI
In 2005, Marcos Heritage launched the Heritage MK VI derived directly from the Mini Marcos MK V from the 1990's with subtle updates. The car was only supplied in component form in both Road and GT versions.
The TSO range incorporated a 5.7 litre Chevrolet engine into the restyled Marcos. The styling broke away from the traditional Marcos profile incorporating many new features bringing Marcos into the 21st Century. Shortly after the TSO came along, the GT, GT2, GTC and RT versions were launched spanning from 2004 through until 2007. Less than 12 cars in all were made.
2007 Marcos Engineering Limited went into liquidation. Marcos cars are no longer produced, at the moment...
The Marcos name is kept alive by the devotion of enthusiasts through the Mini Marcos Owners Club, Club Marcos International and The Marcos Owners Club, and of course the work of Marcos Heritage. But, like a phoenix will we again see the name Marcos rise from the ashes?
In 2010, Tony Brown became the owner of Marcos cars and 2013 saw the launch of a new model known as the Marcos Spirit 220. The compnay was based in Pembrokeshire
A new chapter begins, with a race prototype and a number of road cards in production, we wait to see what happens...

Audi (2012/13)
The understanding of mobility undergoes central changes and new mobility concepts are being produced. Beside this major change the community thinking is shifting as well due to new possibilities nowadays. Audi as a key player in the mobility industry wants to tackle two main topics: Mobility and Connectivity - both strategically relevant for Audi. By developing community services, a lock-in effect, which persuades a (potential) costumer, through the services itself, should occur.
The final solution is Flemo. Flemo is a car sharing solution that combines community, connectivity, and mobility topics altogether. Mobility, thanks to the shared cars, connectivity since the users have to be connected to each other and to the cars in order to get the information about which car is available and where. Finally, a community of different people is supposed to interact with each other in order to share their cars. The two most central needs the team was able to sort out of most of the divers prototypes were the needs of flexibility as well as the need of control. Hand in hand with the need of being in control of one's belongings / one's life comes the trust-issue. The team found out that the current car sharing solutions do not fit everyone's needs. Single households, families, students (roomies), neighborhoods, as well as startups, SMEs and large companies have a common need: to be able to enjoy flexible mobility. However, for a fitting car sharing solution, different requirements come together with this common need: Does one want to bring the private car into the sharing system? How should the exchange be organized? Who is responsible for insurance, fuel or parking costs? How long and when can the cars be used / shared? With whom? Meet with renters to give them the key? How to organize the availability? People are comfortable - Car Sharing isn´t. FLEMO is a car sharing solution that is pretty different. It tackles the above-mentioned problems.

Public sex and sneaking into teachers' rooms: Are these the horniest students EVER?
RANDY students have revealed how they celebrate the end of school.
Alcohol-fuelled parties and sex in public are only the tip of the iceberg for how these students enter "adult life".
The brazen lads and young women are not afraid to hide their fun as images and videos are shared across social media.
During the three-week binge, students reportedly compete in dares against each other – including who can hook up with the most people in a night and asking strangers for condoms.
"Dares include drinking a half-litre of beer with two tampons stuck in your mouth"Witness Aled-Dilwyn Fisher
In a creepier task, students are required to break into a teacher's home, secretly spend the night and then make them breakfast.
The dares are often shared on social media as they need to be witnessed by at least two other participants to qualify.
Putting "for sale" signs on cop cars, running naked through town centres and being forced only to crawl on hands and knees are also common challenges.
The Norway school leavers must also wear overall uniforms and are banned from washing them during the party binge – known as Russefeiring or Russ.
Aled-Dilwyn Fisher, a Welsh teacher who has worked in Norway during Russ , said most of the dares are supposed to be in good humour.
He added: "Most are a bit silly or even disgusting – but pose no direct harm to others, such as drinking a half-litre of beer with two tampons stuck in your mouth."
The party finishes with a national parade through the streets of Norway.
Students march with hat baring their new nicknames before they are whisked off for their final exams.

Cisco and Salesforce are combining their Internet of Things and unified communications technologies in a cunning plan to provide joint offerings to drive channel sales in the new markets.
The networking giant will co-develop and co-market new joint offerings that combine its platforms in collaboration, IoT and contact center with Salesforce Sales Cloud, IoT Cloud and Service Cloud offerings.
Under the cunning plan Cisco Spark and WebEx will be integrated into Salesforce's Cloud and Service Cloud. Combining these two technologies will allow customers to communicate in real time using chat, video and voice without leaving Salesforce or having to install a plug-in.
Cisco's Jasper IoT platform, which it bought in its $1.4 billion acquisition of Jasper Technologies earlier this year – will be integrated with Salesforce's IoT Cloud. Cisco said the joint offerings will empower organisations to quickly and cost-effectively use billions of IoT data points and provide businesses with a more comprehensive view of their IoT services.
Rowan Trollope, senior vice president and general manager of the IoT and Applications Groups at Cisco said that Cisco and Salesforce were coming together to form a strategic alliance can eliminate the friction users experience today so they can become more productive.
The alliance will also combine Cisco's Unified Contact Centre Enterprise and Salesforce Service Cloud to help customers manage call centres more efficiently, according to a release.

Johanna Konta on course for glory after battling win
Johanna Konta won a see-saw contest against Anett Kontaveit in the first round of the Abierto Mexicano Telcel. The British number one, the fourth seed in the Acapulco event, came through 6-3 3-6 6-4 in an hour and 44 minutes in the first meeting of the two players.
Konta, who became the first British woman to make the last four in singles at a slam since Jo Durie in 1983 when she reached the Australian Open semi-finals, was quick out of the blocks.
The world number 26 led 5-1 and although she was broken when serving for the first set, she took her chance with the next serve.
The second set was a topsy-turvy affair - Konta broke her Estonian opponent in the first game but was broken back and then broken in the fourth game on the way to losing it 6-3.
Both players broke twice in the final set before Konta broke Kontaveit in the 10th game to seal the success - aided by the 20-year-old's sixth double fault.

Les Miserables Reviews
Seen this show? Why not help your fellow Kansas City Theater visitors.Write a review
from Dallas, Texas
The most fantastic musical ever. I hope to see it again and again.
Helpful? Yes - 2259No - 2276 Report
Carol Meyer Schaap from Chicago, Illinois
The plot, the songs, the sets, the costumes- all great! One of my favorite shows ever! Some risqué bits in it - be aware if you are taking children.
Paul Simpson from Chicago, Illinois
I loved the 2012 movie release so much, I wasn't sure this new live production would be worth seeing. Yet somehow this new theatrical version found a way to build on the achievements of the previous live versions and the movie release, to create an incredibly awesome new show! Of course seeing this new production in the beautiful Cadillac Palace theater in Chicago was an added bonus. Though I can't imagine being disappointed watching a DVD of this performance in my home, and I am hoping this release will be soon.

Every year the biggest retailers choose 72 popular products which are then whittled down to the 12 "Dream Toys" that are expected to be under every tree. And this year the average price of those 72 has fallen from £40.63 to £22.89. Many retailers are already cutting prices. Asda is selling more than 100 toys at half price, while Sainsbury's has knocked 50 per cent off their toy range – that amounts to a reduction of £12 million.
And with parents searching for the trusted brands, many have updated some of their old classics. Lego has created a game that allows children to build their own 3D boards and characters, for a board game they'll never get bored of, while family favourite Monopoly have incorporated sky scrapers, property auctions and planning permission into their new 'City' version of the game.
Nick Austin, president of the Toy and Hobby Association which represents manufacturers, said: "Consumers will continue to spend money on toys this Christmas, but they want value. There are still elaborate, hi-tech toys for those that can afford them, but the public has gone back to tried and tested brands that they know kids will like and won't abandon by the end of Boxing Day."
Are you down with the kids? If you have some great ideas for reasonably priced toys for Christmas, share them here by leaving a comment and help make other parents' lives, if not quieter, as least a little easier this year.

UPDATED 03/18/2017 AT 8:15 PM (EASTERN): Replays of both a Leach & Pratt radio sync and a commercial free TV broadcast of the game have been added below. Note that I had to add them via other means as they get auto blocked on YouTube (expect all the tournament games to be like this… it's the way it has been for the last few years).
A "quick" replay of the Kentucky vs. NKU NCAA Tournament game is ready to watch at the link below. A commercial free replay is currently in the works, but it won't be ready until late Sunday morning. A Leach & Pratt radio sync should be ready sometime on Sunday afternoon. Stay tuned for more updates.

While, we have heard about Paundrak Vasudev, here we get to witness his acts for the very first time in Sony TVs Suryaputra Karn. Interestingly, Saurabh Pandey who essays the role of Lord Krishna is playing the role of Paundrak Vasudev, the negative character.
Who is Paundrak Vasudev?
Paundraka Vasudeva was the king of Pundra Kingdom. He was an ally of Jarasandha, the king of Magadha and the greatest King of eastern India at that time who shared great animosity with Lord Krishna. Paundraka even imitated the dress and style of Krishna. Interestingly, he was killed by none other than Lord Krishna in battle. Lord Krishna beheaded Paundraka with his sudarshana chakra in the battlefield until he cheated 100 kings by pretending as the Lord himself.
In the Serial, Paundrak Vasudev Will Fight Against Karna
In an upcoming action sequence in Suryaputra Karn, we will see Paundrak getting into a fight with Karna (Gautam Rode). And with that we will finally see Saurabh Pandey getting into some action sequence.
Saurabh is excited for the sequence. Now that he is fighting with Rode with whom he shares a great rapport said that,
"We carefully work on our moves to avoid injuries. He is like an elder brother who treats me like his own younger sibling. He is a superb actor to work with and we have a great understanding that helps us in our scenes."
Further illustrating about the sequence, Saurabh said the following about the unexpected action sequence which has come his way,
''As my character Paundrak Vasudev is a mad man who is like a wannabe God, he gets into a fight with Karna when he talks bad about Lord Krishna, the other character that I play. Fighting on camera with a real friend is great fun, and we ended up laughing."
Saurabh Pandey has shot for about 8 to 9 hours to get all this action sequence correctly. In fact, the actor always wanted to do an action sequence and his ambition just got fulfilled through Paundrak Vasudev.
The Audience Reaction
Saurabh Pandey so far has got a very good response from the viewers for his double role in Suryaputra Karn, that of Lord Krishna and Paundrak Vasudev. Talking about his character, Saurab added that –
"After all, at the end Krishna himself will end Paundrak's character. Having said this, it's a crazy experience to act against your own character."
When Saurabh was asked what his girlfriend Zara Barring have to say about his negative role on screen, he quickly said –
"My girlfriend Zara Barring finds my role of Paundrak Vasudev as very creepy and funny at times. But I guess it's the comment I look out for, which is a reward to my hard work. After all we do it for our viewers."
Looks like the whole plot is going to be interesting. No wonder, he was an interesting character in Mythology.
