Continuous enhancement a key in global logistics business
The global freight transportation industry has evolved to the extent that it is now acceptable business policy to expect orders to be air freighted within 24 hours from one side of the world to the other.
One company set for further expansion has envisaged the importance of such logistically slick operations; and today ensures rapid global deliveries are an everyday occurrence.
Asia Airfreight Terminal (AAT), an air cargo terminal based at Hong Kong International Airport, is committed to unsurpassed levels of service, swift document processing and a futuristic IT platform. With a capacity in excess of 1,500,000 tonnes per annum, AAT has played a vital role in anchoring Hong Kong's position in the global logistics arena for more than a decade. Back in July 1998, AAT launched its Terminal One service for cargo handling utilising several sophisticated facilities, which included a fully automated material handling system (MHS) and a cargo storage and cargo management system (CMS) for cargo inventory and documentation for 600,00 tonnes handling capacity per annum.
AAT's advanced MHS comprises pallet and container handling systems that accept and dispatch built-up units. There are also automated storage and retrieval systems to process bulk cargo. Truck docks are built at each of the four levels of the Terminal Two warehouse for acceptance and delivery of cargo while despatch of cargo to and from aircraft is through the two-level airside.
Thoroughly integrated with the government, airlines and other air-cargo community systems, AAT's web-based CMS provides a comprehensive suite of e-services offering access to registered users via the internet. This increased transparency resulting from up-to-the-minute information sharing is a source of comfort to customers.
"The MHS has a total power backup system and the resilient CMS provides highly optimised solutions," notes Nelson Lee, AAT's general manager —p lanning and services.
Epoch making
Towards the end of 2006, AAT opened Terminal Two which combines state-of-the-art architectural design, further advanced material handling systems, the latest IT applications and an increased handling capacity of 910,000 tonnes per annum.
According to Mr Lee, the average utilisation rate of the terminal now is in the region of 50 per cent of its maximum —a calculated decision incorporated into the original development plan to allow ample room for future growth.
"Phased addition of handling capacity relieves the operational expense burden, which translates into better cost-effectiveness. Additionally, terminal users can also enjoy the most up-to-date technology for both hardware and software. Customer satisfaction levels are therefore enhanced," Mr Lee explains.
To maximise efficiency, the company's sophisticated truck control system (TCS) also adopts radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to monitor traffic flow of vehicles entering AAT for business. RFID tags containing information such as the vehicle number, registered company, driver details and contact information have been issued to more than 5,000 trucks in Hong Kong.
Linked to the CMS, TCS can allocate the truck dock nearest to cargo storage locations automatically and helps reduce waiting time to boost efficiency. Concurrently, the cargo processing data collected help to facilitate monitoring and analysis of service standards.
New technology also enables quick multi-channel truck dock notification. Once a truck driver selects the incoming purpose on the touch-screen, and a truck dock is available, the system notifies the driver of the assigned truck dock number through several channels, including gate kiosks at entrances, phone calls via interactive voice response system, truck dock allocation displays and self service kiosks.
Brighter outlook
"There is a constant demand for more manpower in our IT team since AAT keeps improving the system to boost service standards while our customer base expands continuously," Gary Suen, IT manager of AAT, points out. To align with AAT's strategic development, the IT team is divided into two main streams, one focusing on network infrastructure and the other on programming. As such, a clear career structure is set so that team members know exactly where and how they can progress professionally.
AAT continues to set the industry benchmark with its careful consideration for the future of Hong Kong, the sustainable growth of freight services and the professional platform laid out for its personnel.
The environment profits too from advances in e-freight technology. The International Air Transport Association for instance has requested a cut in paper cargo documentation. Certificates of origin, invoices, packing lists and air waybills can all be processed electronically today to minimise paper consumption.

Health News and Notes
Brattleboro OB/GYN offers a new model of group care
BRATTLEBORO >> Brattleboro OB/GYN & Four Seasons Midwifery, a department of Brattleboro Memorial Hospital is pleased to announce their CenteringPregnancy site approval. CenteringPregnancy is a holistic childbirth program committed to the empowerment of pregnant women.
"This is an exciting time for our practice as we offer CenteringPregnancy, a nationally recognized model of care," said Cynthia Pearson, Director of Maternal and Child Health.
In CenteringPregnancy, pregnant women with similar due dates join together in a group with their healthcare provider. They receive all the components of prenatal care, including health assessment, education and support. There is a facilitated discussion of pregnancy, birth and newborn care as well as overall health, stress management, etc. Studies in sample populations show Centering care increases breastfeeding rates and duration of breastfeeding. Patient and provider satisfaction are higher than traditional care.
Under the centering model, patients meet with their care provider and other group participants for an extended period of time, usually two hours, at regularly scheduled visits over the course of their care. Centering promotes greater patient engagement, personal empowerment and community building.
More than 500,000 babies are born prematurely in the United States each year, an estimated lifetime cost to society of $26 billion. A 2007 multi-site randomized controlled trial conducted by Yale and Emory researchers found that participation in CenteringPregnancy care reduced the risk of premature birth by 33 percent compared to traditional prenatal care. Researchers concluded CenteringPregnancy care "resulted in equal or improved perinatal outcomes at no added cost."
"We are excited to work with Brattleboro OB/GYN & Four Seasons Midwifery to expand CenteringPregnancy in Vermont. They join a growing number of Centering practice sites throughout the U.S who are demonstrating better outcomes and high patient satisfaction," said Collen Senterfitt, Chief Operating Officer for Centering.
Brattleboro OB/GYN & Four Seasons Midwifery specializes in women's health, obstetrics, and gynecology, and strives to offer patients the most professional attention in healthcare. They have a board certified infertility specialist that provides advanced infertility treatments, and the gynecological services include preventive care for women of all ages, from adolescence to menopause.

Vermont agencies on aging announce 815,000 meals delivered to seniors in 2015
BRATTLEBORO >> March is National Nutrition Month and also the 14th annual "March for Meals," a nationwide campaign coordinated by Meals on Wheels America to honor and raise funds for this vital safety net program. In 2015, 815,000 meals were delivered to seniors across Vermont through the Meals on Wheels program, a public-private partnership that combines federal, state and local funding with the hard work and dedication of Vermont's Area Agencies on Aging, community partners, and thousands of volunteers across the state. That's an increase of 30,000 meals from the previous year.
Meals on Wheels is designed to supplement the nutrition of people age 60 and over and adults with disabilities who face challenges in preparing healthy, adequate meals due to situations such as advanced age, hospital recovery, illness, or physical disability. National Nutrition Month is the perfect time to focus on the importance of home delivered meals, since research shows the program improves health outcomes for frail and vulnerable seniors as well as alleviates isolation and hunger. In fact, Governor Peter Shumlin has declared March 2016 as "March for Meals" month, acknowledging the vital role that Meals on Wheels plays for our neighbors and our communities. Not only do these daily meals fight hunger, malnutrition, falls and chronic disease, they also save tax payer dollars. The cost of one year to receive Meals on Wheels is less than one day in a hospital.
While the Agencies on Aging and our partners were able to deliver 5,000 seniors home delivered meals last year, over 17,000 seniors remain threatened by hunger in Vermont. Need is growing each year: 30% more meals were delivered in 2015 than in 2005. Yet federal funding for the program remains stagnant, and agencies struggle to meet the demand, with some on the verge of creating regional waiting lists. V4A is urging the legislature to help address the growing need by contributing funds through the state waiver that helps keep seniors at home. This would be an important investment in serving vulnerable Vermonters and saving healthcare dollars.
To learn more and donate to your local Meals on Wheels program, call the Vermont Senior HelpLine at 1-800-642-5119.

DHS awards $1.2 million to Vermont for substance abuse treatment
BURLINGTON >> U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders announced Friday that the Department of Health and Human Services awarded $1,240,794 to four community health centers in Vermont. The health centers will use this new federal funding to expand access to substance abuse treatment.
The Vermont awards are part of $94 million to improve and expand the delivery of substance abuse services announced today by HHS for 271 community health centers in 45 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The funds were authorized by a Sanders provision in the Affordable Care Act that provided $11 billion in funding for community health centers across the country.
"The opioid abuse epidemic is a tragedy in Vermont and all across the country. These much-needed awards will allow our community health centers to serve even more people who desperately need access to services and treatment for addiction," said Sanders, who serves as the ranking member of the Senate Subcommittee on Primary Health. "I am pleased to see significant increases in the number of patients accessing health care at community health centers."
This year, Federally Qualified Health Centers in Vermont will serve one in four Vermonters at more than 50 sites across the state. In 2006, fewer than 10 percent of Vermont residents received their health care at community health centers. Health centers deliver primary medical, oral and mental health care services on a sliding fee scale. They also provide low-cost prescription drugs to patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance, as well as those without insurance.
"Although I am very pleased with today's announcement, millions of Americans still do not have access to the primary care and substance abuse treatment they need," Sanders said. "Congress must continue to protect and expand community health centers to ensure people in Vermont and throughout the United States have access to health care."
The following Vermont health centers received awards today: Community Health Centers of Burlington, $243,815; Community Health Centers of the Rutland Region, $325,000; Gifford Health Care, Randolph, $325,000; and Northern Counties Health Care, Saint Johnsbury, $346,979

Rod Blagojevich
Life Path Number 7
Rod Blagojevich is a Politician.
He was born on Monday December 10th 1956, in Chicago, Illinois, United States.
Rod Blagojevich is the searcher and the seeker of the truth. He has a clear and compelling sense of himself as a spiritual being. As a result, Rod's life path is devoted to investigations into the unknown, and finding the answers to the mysteries of life.
Blagojevich is well-equipped to handle his task. He possesses a fine mind, and is an analytical thinker, capable of great concentration and theoretical insight. Rod Blagojevich enjoys research, and putting the pieces of an intellectual puzzle together. Once he has enough pieces in place, Rod is capable of highly creative insight and practical solutions to problems.
Rod Blagojevich enjoys his solitude and prefers to work alone. He needs time to contemplate his ideas without the intrusion of other people's thoughts. Rod is a lone wolf, a person who lives by his own ideas and methods. As a result, close associations are difficult for him to form and keep, especially marriage. Blagojevich needs his space and privacy, which, when violated, can cause him great frustration and irritation.
When his life is balanced, however, Rod Blagojevich is both charming and attractive. He can be the life of a party, and enjoy performing before an audience. Rod enjoys displaying his wit and knowledge, which makes him attractive to others, especially the opposite sex.
But Blagojevich has distinct limits. While he is generous in social situations, sharing his attention and energy freely, he is keenly aware of the need to "come off stage" and return to the solitude of his lair. Rod Blagojevich associates peace with the unobtrusive privacy of his world. Therefore, intimacy is difficult for Rod, because he guards his inner world like a mother lion does her cubs.
All this privacy and aloneness can cause isolation and loneliness, however. Rod Blagojevich can be aware of an emptiness in his life, a part of him that yearns for company and close companionship that may be unsatisfied.
If isolation is brought to the extreme, Rod can become cynical and suspicious. He might develop hidden, selfish motives, which people may sense and may cause them discomfort around him. Blagojevich must guard against becoming too withdrawn and independent, thus shutting out the love of others and keeping him from experiencing the true joy of friendship and close companionship.
Rod Blagojevich must especially watch out for selfishness and egocentricity, thinking of himself as the center of the universe, the only person who really matters. Social contact gives Rod perspective on himself and on life, while too much isolation can make him too narrow and even shut off from the rest of the world.
Secretly, Blagojevich may feel jealous of the easy relationships formed by others; he may perceive others as less inhibited than him, or more free to express themselves. He may harshly criticize himself for not being more gregarious, powerful, or capable of greater leadership.
Rod Blagojevich's challenge in life is to maintain his independence without feeling isolated or ineffectual. He must hold fast to his unique view on the world, while at the same time being open to others and the knowledge they have to offer.
With his abilities to learn, analyze, and seek out answers to life's important questions, Rod Blagojevich has the potential for enormous growth and success in life. By the time he reaches middle age, Rod will radiate refinement and wisdom.
Pythagoras loved the seven for its great spiritual potential.
You and Rod
About Rod's Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Rod Blagojevich's birth. In that instant, Rod stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Blagojevich's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Rod Blagojevich's life.

Thousands flock to the Valley for Arizona Bike Week
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (KSAZ) - For 21 years, Arizona Bike Week has been rolling into town, drawing crowds of thousands from all over the country.
ARIZONA BIKE WEEK! Opening day at @WestWorldAZ... checking out incredible work by Paul Yaffe @FOX10Phoenix #Fox10Phoenix #AzBikeWeek pic.twitter.com/ZMjvV7doAb— Marcy Jones (@MarcyJonesFox10) April 5, 2017
It's not just about the bikes, but also good food and good company.
"Well, Blair's food, that's, that's a given," Frank said. "Blair's food is number one, but the weather in the springtime in Arizona, it doesn't get any better, that's the best riding weather in the world."
After meeting nearly 10 years ago at bike week, this group says it's become a tradition they look forward to every spring.
"For you, what does bike week mean?" I asked.
"Friends, friends and riding, getting together with great people and having a blast," Blair said.
They added that even though riding is their passion, the memories are what keeps them coming back for more.
"I've lived in Arizona for over 40 years, and I've ridden everywhere, I think, but AZ Bike Week is spending time with good friends, going over all of the stuff we've shared while we've been away and this weather!" Frank said.
When the time comes to pack up and move out, there's only one thing to do.
"When it's over, do you go through a little bit of withdrawal?" I asked.
"I do!" Blair exclaimed. "I start planning for next year and the menu for next year."

Unanswered: Jstl problem
I use jstl tag library to connect at H2 database at a jsp file.
I want to find the path of the database dynamically (or to be related, not absolute path).
I write this
<sql:setDataSource url="jdbc:h2:"+context.getRealPath("/DB/db")+""" driver="org.h2.Driver" user="SA" password=""/>
How can I make the setdatasource to have a related file?
I tried this also
<sql:setDataSource url="jdbc:h2:/DB/db" driver="org.h2.Driver" user="SA" password=""/>
and it did not work.
The relative path of the db is DB (folder) / db (database).

Talking Torah Round Table: ShoftimPosted by Jeff on Aug 8, 2013 in Talking Torah Round Table | 0 comments
Today Yoel and I discuss Shoftim. During the program we discuss a very relevant issue in the minds of our people today. Who/What is "the prophet" in Deut 18? Is it singular? is it plural? Are we to expect one or more? And, isn't the prophet, just like the king? In that both are "from your brothers"? Listen in on the discussion.

I think it's made from metal and not the plastic of most cars nowadays, so it's more likely to protect during impact, if an accident were to occur
Overall verdict10.0/10
The subaru forrester is a very practical car and is great value for its price. It's required very low maintenance since we've bought it, just the usual oil change and new brakes, and has the advantages of an AWD with low fuel usage. It is a great family car, especially for those with a baby, it's the perfect height for getting the baby in and out of its seat without having to be bending in the process.

The guy who was initially listed as doubtful in the hours leading up to Wednesday night's matchup with the Celtics -- only to be declared healthy enough to play some two-plus hours before tipoff -- checked in near the tail end of the first quarter.
At least Deron Williams had an excuse, reaggravating a sore left side that sidelined him in Monday's loss. His teammates didn't, especially Brook Lopez, whom Nets coach Lionel Hollins referred to as "lazy."
In one of their most disappointing efforts of the season, the Nets lost, 89-81, to the Celtics at the Barclays Center.
When asked if the Nets were outhustled by the Celtics, Mason Plumlee said: "No question. No question. It hurts to say that, but that's what happened."
Joe Johnson had 17 points and shot 7-for-16 to lead the Nets (16-19), who have lost three straight. Plumlee had 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Jarrett Jack had 15 points. Avery Bradley's 21 points paced Boston (12-21), which snapped a three-game losing streak.
For the second straight game, Lopez was basically a non-factor with only six points and five rebounds in 17:27. He spent the final 9:52 glued to the bench, replaced in the lineup by Mirza Teletovic.
Unlike two nights earlier, when he poured in 18 points in the first quarter but then disappeared, Lopez never got going against Boston. The Celtics don't boast anyone with the vigor and skills the Mavericks have in their front line of Tyson Chandler and Dirk Nowitzki, so Lopez's ineffectiveness was alarming.
The 7-footer launched just five shots through the first three quarters and got exposed for lack of hustle on one sequence at the end of the third. Johnson's bad pass intended for Plumlee started speeding toward the backcourt and Lopez briefly gave chase, quickly stopping after seemingly feeling the ball was going to trickle all the way to the other baseline and out of bounds.
But Jae Crowder hustled into the picture, flying past Lopez as he put on the brakes, chased down the ball, and got fouled by Darius Morris. Crowder sank both free throws for a 69-60 advantage with 28.9 seconds left in the quarter, a microcosm of what a disappointing night it was for Lopez.
Hollins' response when asked about what he said to Lopez: "I just told him he was being lazy."
Williams didn't have much time to leave any sort of significant impact on the game, given he was done for the night before 90 seconds had elapsed off the clock. He made a pass early in the second quarter and apparently immediately felt his left side flare back up, crumpling to the court a few feet in front of the Celtics bench while clutching the same area that gave him trouble near the end of Sunday's loss in Miami.
Williams checked out with 10:21 left, walking to the bench and getting looked at by trainer Tim Walsh. It wasn't long until Williams trudged toward the locker room, signaling yet another time the Nets' $100-million man got victimized by an injury bug.
Notes & quotes: With the Knicks dismantling their team and there being no juice in the local rivalry, the NBA announced it has pulled the Feb. 6 game between the Nets and Knicks in Brooklyn from ESPN and instead will show the Clippers take on the Raptors.

Tackling topics ranging from immigration to the recent terror attack in Paris, it may have lacked the fiery rhetoric and rah-rah applause lines that we'll probably hear later this year, but it brought back enough memories of 2008 to suggest that she's ready to jump back into the fight without skipping a beat.
Eloquent progressivism, unparalleled grasp of the issues, and most of all, staggering intelligence...it's all there and ready to fully reemerge.
And no offense to any other politician, because all of them (Hillary included) sometimes need a script...but she did it all without the use of notes, teleprompters or a podium! Impressive.
Discussing wealth inequality, she suggested that last night's speech by the president was merely the opening Democratic salvo in a debate that will be front-and-center until Election Day:
A new report by the global charity, Oxfam, found that the eighty richest people in the world...not possess as much wealth as the poorest 3 1/2 billion people combined, and they predict that by next year, the top 1% of the wealthiest globally will own more than half of all the wealth on the planet.
Now, in many countries, people are asking: How can we reverse this trend? How can we share prosperity more broadly and fairly? How can we relearn how to work together and to grow together? How do we make sure that new waves of immigrants enrich rather than embitter our communities? What will it take to give our young people the opportunities they need and deserve?
I think that democracy, and the free market economy that goes hand-in-hand with democracy, has to take seriously these questions. And as we answer them, there's a lot we can learn from each other.
Here in Canada, for example, you've shown that the economic inequality that we see in the United States and many other countries it's not inevitable. Despite facing similar long-term challenges from globalization and automation, you've invested in your middle class and it's made a real difference.
Last night, President Obama offered a vision for helping the middle class in the United States reclaim its seat at the table, and the proposals he offered are an important start for a critical debate. There is so much more to do to bring security and possibility to families struggling with stagnant wages and sinking hopes...Of course, these words have gotten little notice compared to an unexpected solo comedy bit featuring her casual impersonation of Vladimir Putin. But she didn't need to go full Yakov Smirnoff to get a genuine laugh from the crowd.
Before leaving Winnipeg, she set aside some time for one more stop.
Clinton visited the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, leaving a message on a card in the "Inspiring Change" gallery on the museum's seventh level.
"I imagine a future where human rights will be secure for everyone because all people stood up and spoke out for the freedom and dignity of each of us. We all must work toward that time together. HR Clinton. USA," she wrote on a card.Watch the full speech and interview here.

This hotel is only 15-30 minutes, depending on the traffic, from both airports. So it is handy as a stop over, for a night. It is a popular choice with flight and cabin staff, who appear keen to 'let their hair down', after a long haul flight. The rooms are ok, nothing special, but ok. The food is reasonable and served inside or out, also in the bar as well. The hotel is keen on it's large screens for music and sport coverage....so not a quiet option for a drink! The hotel overlooks the National Park and we did see a few Zebra, from the bedroom window. It would not be my choice for anything longer than one night, but is fine if your flight arrives late or leaves early in the morning.

In brief: Reilly 'doesn't agree with VHI's new €50 fee for contract cancellations'
HEALTH Minster James Reilly says he doesn't agree with the VHI's new cancellation fee but is unable to say what can be done as the VHI is a commercial semi-state body.
Since May 1, VHI has begun imposing fees on customers who cancelled their insurance cover before their 12-month contract was up. Customers will be charged a €50 cancellation fee if they switch insurers during their contracts or cancel altogether.
Gardai uncover brothels in Limerick
FOUR brothels have been uncovered by gardai in Limerick over the last week. Investigating officers questioned nine women who were found in the various properties.

Three apartments were raided by gardai in Limerick city last Tuesday while another brothel was uncovered in Newcastle West, Co Limerick, last week. Investigations into prostitution in the area are continuing.
Loyalist speaks of memorial honour
One of the leading loyalists invited to the Queen's wreath-laying ceremony at the War Memorial in Dublin, Winston Irvine from the Shankill Road, has spoken for the first time on how it had a major impact on helping loyalists to continue building peace in Northern Ireland.
"It was hugely historic and a very proud moment in our history," he said. "It was hugely significant... The invitation to loyalist people was an extremely valid and significant move in itself." Some 20 loyalists from Northern Ireland were invited by Mary McAleese and her husband Martin. Among those present were ex-members of the Ulster Defence Association and the Ulster Volunteer Association.
Department to review Coast Guard
An efficiency review of the Irish Coast Guard is to be carried out by a government department, but it will not include the controversial €500m search-and-rescue contract awarded to a private firm.
The Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport wants a review of delivery of services by the Coast Guard and the Marine Survey Office. The search-and-rescue contract is already signed with Canadian company CHC Ireland.

Stamp collection to fetch €350,000
A stamp collection owned by a Dublin pathologist is expected to sell for more than €350,000 at auction in London. The British Empire Collection, assembled by Dr Robert Towers of Shrewsbury Road, Dublin 4, will be sold at auctioneers Spink in London on June 8.
Dr Towers, one-time president of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland, was a consultant pathologist at St Vincent's Hospital, Dublin, until his retirement in 1999. The most valuable item in the collection is a pale blue, 150-year-old postal wrapper, which could fetch €11,500.
Work stoppage due at Cliffs of Moher
THE operators of Ireland's most-visited tourist attraction are preparing a contingency plan after SIPTU notified them of plans to implement a work stoppage next month.
Seventeen of the 24 staff at the Cliffs of Moher visitor centre in Co Clare are represented by SIPTU, which has formally served notice of industrial action on the company that runs the facility. The union plans a four-hour work stoppage on June 8.
The union accuses the Cliffs of Moher Centre, owned by Clare Co Council, of refusing to uphold a Labour Court recommendation to grant parity of pay for workers with other local authority employees. The firm says that to implement the agreement would see costs soar by €400,000 a year though the business is still loss-making.
Fire at ancestral home of US president
The ancestral home of the 21st US president has been damaged in a fire. A blaze broke out in Arthur Cottage in Cullybackey, Co Antrim, which was the ancestral home of Chester Alan Arthur, who served between 1881 and 1885.

Hi there
I'm new to this forum so I hope I have the right location for this thread...
I have a strange issue. When I use MPEG Streamclip to convert a single video to MP4 it runs absolutely fine and the video looks perfect. However, when I start a batch conversion of multiple videos in a list, I get all sorts of pixelation throughout the resulting MP4s. I am setting them to convert with exactly the same parameters but for some reason they are much worse quality. Particularly on transitions within the videos.
I was just wondering if anyone had any idea why this may happen when doing big batches and not when done singly? I'm stumped!!
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue's, well more a pixelization issues with all mp4/avc encoding. My target was minidlna serving to dish hopper/samsung blu-ray via dlna and mp4/avc's were un-watchable with ridiculous pixelization. This is what after dozens of test encodes I ended up with, it's very dish hopper'ish since that was my main target..
Mpeg2 @ 23.976/2000br (frame/bit rates to high = stutter, low = pixelization). Audio AC3/2 ch which fixes some issues the hopper has with acc you may want better audio though, and finally in a mkv container. This gives me 1.5/2.0gb movies that stream great to my hopper & blu-ray. There is room to the push to the upside on quality but for the size/encode time I can not see the diff. I use Tencoder with this..

I recently looked back at my Google Analytics to get a sense of mobile traffic and saw the beginnings of mobile access. This chart, created to correspond with major iPhone rollouts, shows that iPhone usage, while still only .5% of my traffic, is on a healthy upswing.
While the iPhone could view my blog reasonably well, it seemed to make sense to optimize their experience. That is even more true for the Window's Mobile users and other mobile devices attempting to visit. Frank Fuchsrecently suggested the MobilePress plugin as an easy way to deal with both.
It couldn't have been easier to install and configure and it seems to work well. I viewed it from an friend's iPhone and the default design was functional and fast if not pretty. It does allow for easy access and configuration of custom mobile themes as well.
If you have tried viewing this blog with either the iPhone or Windows Mobile, I would love to hear your feedback on MobilePress and your thoughts on providing a different interface to mobile users.

Well.. Thats the name which Owen suggests in his blog. When I read it, it pretty soon occurred to me that probably thats where I wanted to go with my scope monitor. Not only scope, but real time monitor of your project health.
There are some ideas on using Kodak digital photo frames in work areas for the same purpose, or even sleek LCD displays which can be wall mounted. Owen has uploaded a presentation on that which gives a lot of insight in actually implementing it at your workplace. What do I use now... well currently just a PC with a big monitor near the work area. I am still figuring out a way to put it high up on a wall somewhere.

Custom field function in CFX
Hello..I need to calculate the swirl ratio for incylinder motions in CFX. Can anyone help me how to use custom field function in CFX. or Is there any option in CFX like that in FLUENT..Need to submit the project. Kindly help.
You can easily write this in CEL, so no need for anything fancy. Use functions like volumeInt() to integrate it over the domain.
swirl ratio
1 Attachment(s)
But the formulae for swirl ratio is attached with the post. How do I convert this to CEL format..?..Please help..:confused:
Your equation for swirl does not look right. If dA means the area integral then it is definitely wrong - swirl is a volume integral thing.
For a correct definition of swirl ratio look at my thesis: http://hdl.handle.net/2100/248, page 74 I think.
This can be implemented as volumeInt(density*r*U)@domain where r and U are displacements and velocities in a cylindrical coord frame around the central axis. You can either calculate these yourself or use a cylidrical frame of reference to get these. I will leave the denominator as an exercise for the reader :).
swirl ratio

If I want to analyse, say the inlet valve is at 2.5mm from TDC, and I want the swirl flow cross sectional view..then area is the required parameter right..? why should I go for volume integral...

First of all - there is no universal definition of swirl. People use different definitions. So make sure the definition you intend to use is correct for your application, and when you compare against other people's work ensure they used the same definition of swirl.
Second - I do not have time to read a journal article for you. That is your task, not mine.
Finally - In the page you sent it does not define the dA term. So it is not clear whether it is an area or volume integral. But I would strongly argue against using an area integral as that only gives a swirl number for a single cross section of the flow, not the entire flow.
Swirl flow
Thanks..ghorrocks for your help and valuable comments. I look forward for your help consistently.Thanks a lot..:)

Hunt Goes on in Tennessee Park Despite Controversy
Enterprise South Nature Park in Tennessee is open to archery hunters twice in October. The deer population needs management, so the park is opened to archers and other recreationists are turned away. As happened to bike rider Robert Greene, he showed up to use the trails at the park, but was told by a park ranger that a hunt was being conducted. Greene is supportive of the hunt, just wishes he knew in advance so he didn't drive all the way out there for nothing.
50 people showed up around 5 am when the park opened. These 50 were here for the hunting. What once was a TNT factory is now a nature park, and a Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency quota hunt opens the park to 80 hunting permit holders. The hunters are allowed two deer, but the first one must be a doe to help with the population management.
Brayton Bird, 16, whose mom said he could miss one day of school was one of the first to bring a doe out of the woods. Wildlife biologists were there to weigh the doe and check it. They are keeping an eye on the health of the herd to see if management is still needed. Low weight could indicate too many deer and an unhealthy herd. Bird's deer after being field dressed came in at 57 lbs, where last year's average was 72 lbs. The biologists asked if he could cut the cheek to determine the doe's age, which was around 2 1/2. For Bird it will make some nice roasts.
What used to be the deer's primary grazing field is now a new Volkswagen assembly plant, which has more deer competing for food at the park. Despite opponents, the hunt must go on to keep the ecosystem healthy. TWRA chose to open the park to hunts on Monday and Tuesday as that was shown to have the least number of park users.

Very poor head line as a few
Submitted by SGM on Thu, 2011-10-13 04:59.
Very poor head line as a few folks complaining in not a controversy. You could throw $20 bills out in the same place and someone would complain about it. Headline should read Successful hunt to manage a growing deer herd or something like that. The whole head line to me makes it almost sound as they want a controversy. OK off my box, the hunt itself sounds like a big succsses and that the park is doing the right thing for sure. Would like to see more of this as urban deer are a problem is some areas. As mentioned before, wish Rocky Mountain National Park would do this to control the elk rather than waste millions of dollars have a sharp shooter take them out.
Registered Guide Tags
Submitted by swisheroutdoors on Thu, 2011-10-13 06:39.
I would surely be in favor for more tags for the hunter but the state hasn't done it yet so another alternate maybe what it hasn't considered. I'm assuming the state wants a certified "professional" (however they determine it) out there thinning the herd and not the common hunter. A partnership with a registered guide organization can be effective. I'm not sure how it works in Colorado but perhaps an increase in Tags given out to Registered Guides by lottery may work way better then sharp shooters and save the state some money to include an increase in Tag revenue. Need to get a hunting organization involved at the right levels to lobby for it. Maine does this with its Moose Population in areas where they have seen an increase in vehicle accidents. It's probably not the only reason Maine issues tags to Guides in conjunction with it normal lottery but you get the idea. I think organizations should take a look at state laws and successes to see if those same best practices can be applied to other areas with similar issues. This is probably already happening and I'm just not educated enough on the facts. Apologies if I'm Captain Obvious.
I agree a lotto system or
Submitted by SGM on Thu, 2011-10-13 10:50.
I agree a lotto system or just collecting preference points for the hunt would be good. I do not like the idea of the guides as all that does is cost the hunter another $4000 or so and would price allot of hunters out of the tags. The park can do it just like the Teton and Roosevelt National Parks do. The system is in place but they refuse to use it for some reason. I would guess bunny huggers and the like. Rocky Mountain is very close to Boulder which does not help.
Like the others have said
Submitted by hunter25 on Wed, 2011-10-12 20:56.
Like the others have said there really isn't any cotroversy here by the looks of things but a really good opportunity for some much needed herd thinning. I don't think I've ever heard of anyplace an adult doe of that size would be considered normal. Maybe a coues deer in Arizona or something but not a normal whitetail. The part I like the best here is the mom supporting her 16 year olds hunting and actually letting him skip sghool for a day to get out there. Really cool I think. Especially since he was the first one to actually bring one in that day.
These hunts are always better
Submitted by deerhunter30 on Wed, 2011-10-12 16:31.
These hunts are always better for the animals, may not sound right but if there is not enough food to sustain the herd something needs to be done and it cost entirely way to much money to move the animals to a differant area.
I think it is a great idea to let the resident hunters go in and thin the herd. That way the county makes money and the huners get to put a little meat in the fridge.
Good luck on controlling this problem and hopefully it works out for everybody.
Similar Organization
Submitted by swisheroutdoors on Wed, 2011-10-12 14:59.
The Maine Bow Hunter's Organization conducts quota hunts in densely populated rural areas in Maine. In some instances they are called upon by Land Owners to assist with reducing crop depravations. This organization is an active group that collaborates with Maine Landowners and Maine Fish and Wildlife. If you were selected to the organization you could be called upon to show up for a hunt on a given date and time. Some instances you could take everything that comes on the stand or just take one doe 1st then a buck. It's a great program and several times meat was distributed to soup kitchens in local areas. Glad to see other states have similar organizations and local governments coming up with unique solutions.
I definitely agree with
Submitted by Retired2hunt on Wed, 2011-10-12 12:34.
I definitely agree with both of you. Reading the full article and the multiple links to the other articles on this park hunt the only controversy was one attorny representing a "group" defined as a "loose coalition of residents" sending a letter to the mayor and two county officials to stop the hunt... and the mayor wisely sided with the county and TWRA officials who's job it is to manage the wildlife within this park. Supposedly there was a "group" present during the hunt and the article states, "...would describe events near the gate Monday as a clash of stakeholders." If that was the case you would think the article would have a picture of this "clash" taking place. I actually feel the only controversy is the newspapers use of specific pictures within all of the articles they have published - all pictures that would tend to fuel something.
Bottom line - they did the right thing in managing this deer population within the park... and doing so with hunters. It was great that the news agency did report of the father and two sons out on this hunt.
Well, does it really seem

Well, does it really seem like a controversy? I mean, all it mentions is that one person showed up to mountain bike, and he was a little inconvenienced. and, that guy even said he supported the hunt. The only controversy I could see is that the land used to be a TNT factory. Whoops!
As Numb said, it's great that they are raising money, instead of hiring some professional "hunter" to do it. The hunters get a chance, in this economy, to put some food on the table, and even though i don't see if they charge for the permits, I assume raise some money for the town.
Interesting that the doe was 2 1/2 years old, but only 72 pounds. Maybe because of the overpopulation, they are not getting enough to eat. In my neck of the woods, most yearling fawns will be about 90-100 pounds by the fall season. At 2 1/2, they are well into the 100's. Heck, my dad shot an 8 point 3 years ago that they said was 2 1/2 years old, and it weighed in at 169 pounds.
Very cool hunt! Glad for the hunters in that community!
This seems like a great idea.

This seems like a great idea. Instead of hiring sharpe shooter's and waisting money to cull the herd they are allowing hunter's in and making money off the tags they sell. Hunter's are the best way to thin out a herd in my opion. Sounds like Park officals did their homework on when the park was the least busy to allow the hunt to go on. To me this seems like a great management plan. From the weight of the deer compared to last year sounds like there are too many deer competing for food. Hopefully the hunter's that got the tag will all be sucessfull. I like the idea of the first deer has to be a doe thats good herd management. I hope this plan works out and the deer herd will again be healthy and will support future hunts.

We stayed in the Noire & Or suite which was fantastic - large and with a wonderful bathroom. The hotel setting was lovely and we spent some very relaxing days by the pool!
Breakfast was good, but other than asking if we wanted tea/coffee or an omelette there was not choice!
We ate in the hotel the first night after a busy day, the quality was good but the portion size was small, choice limited and it seemed very expensive!
Take the shuttle bus which runs twice daily:
1000 - 1300
1900 - 2200
Into the main square and eat there, nobody else seemed to use this facility??
We asked the hotel to arrange some taxis, and it seemed a bit of a rip off £25 ish for a short return journey to a local supermarket?
Also check your bill, I'm sure ours was a genuine error, but there were some spa and mini bar charges that we didn't have.
Overall wiuld recommend, but with hindsight would have do e a few things differently!

It's National Chocolate Cake Day!
Marie Antoinette is credited with saying "Let them eat cake", and I plan to take her advice fully because National Chocolate Cake Day is definitely worth celebrating!
Marie Antoinette is credited with saying "Let them eat cake", and I plan to take her advice fully because National Chocolate Cake Day is definitely worth celebrating!
Since I can't cook, I have never gone through the craziness and tension of preparing a Thanksgiving feast for my extended family. I have watched my Mother work herself into a frenzy of preparation several times, so I know the key to success, besides giving each family member a dish to bring, is making as many things as you can in advance.
This super easy project is a great way to add some Fall prettiness to your home for under $5!
School is back in session, and that means the dreaded task of packing school lunches has returned as well. Hopefully these pins will help make the chore a bit easier and more enjoyable for all.
Establishing a back-to-school routine is rough after a few months of summer leisure, so I think every parent and student will appreciate help getting back into the swing of things. Here's some cool apps and tricks to check out to make sure this new school year is an efficient and successful one for everyone.
Chip, chip hooray; it's National Chocolate Chip Day! In honor of this special day, I scoured the pages of Pinterest for some unique and mouth-watering recipes featuring our favorite bite-size chips of cocoa deliciousness. I think you're gonna like what I found.
Now that the heat and humidity has returned to the Stateline, we need some fun ways to stay cool, or some ways to survive it.
July 7 is a day we certainly need to celebrate, because it's National Chocolate Day! Since it is our duty to celebrate this day to the fullest, I hopped on Pinterest to find amazing chocolate dessert recipes for us to try. It's a rough job, but someones got to do it.
I love the 4th of July, so narrowing down a few picks to share with you was tough for me. I found so many cool patriotic ideas on Pinterest, but let's face it, we all have limited time and budgets, so here are some easy (and cheap) ones to try this year.

THE MORNING BUZZ: DVD's Extras May Save the Day Again6 May, 2002 By: Thomas K. Arnold
We've heard a lot of talk over the years about how video-on-demand will eventually kill home video.
Has anyone ever considered that DVD might kill video-on-demand?
The wave of VOD trials and rollouts going on in markets all over the country have this in common: customers can click and watch any movie from a "virtual library" of titles for 24 hours, with full pause, rewind and fast-forward features, at a cost of about $3.95 for new releases and $1.95 for older films.
I can see where this might be a tantalizing proposition for renters, although the key variables, in my mind, are the size of the selection and how much the consumer values the shopping experience.
But considering the plummeting street price of DVDs – catalog titles are selling for as little as $5 or $6 at chains like Wal-Mart and Best Buy – and prices coming down on DVD jukeboxes, an argument might be made that an affordable and equally convenient alternative to pay-as-you-go VOD might be a home library tailored to your specific tastes, with all your discs inserted into a changer capable of holding, say, 300 movies (Sony already has a CD changer with that capacity).
It's the same concept—hundreds of movies at your fingertips—but it won't cost you every time you want to watch something. And let's face it, some movies – particularly those geared toward kids, but also some of those complex grownup movies like The Matrix and Memento – do warrant repeat viewing.
The same goes for older movies—I happened to watch the DVD of an old Western epic called How the West Was Won, and I was so enamored that over the subsequent nights I watched it again with my wife and then let my parents borrow the disc so they could watch it as well. Now my kids are into it and that film has probably been seen 10 or 12 times—which would have cost a fortune on VOD.
And then there's all the special features that come with DVDs, that VOD will most likely never be able to approach, much less replicate. The behind-the-scenes interviews, the "making of" documentaries, the deleted scenes and commentaries – dismiss it as much as you like, a lot of this stuff does get watched.
What's more, thanks to DVD, the American public is getting acclimated to "movies and more." Rent or buy a DVD and you typically get four to six hours of entertainment, instead of the 90 minutes to two hours from the movie alone.
When VOD finally rolls out nationally, will Americans still have an appetite for vanilla?

No stranger to the ATT TMSystem™ Steven Connolly, Course Manager at Kirby Muxloe Golf Club, has introduced the SMARTSarel cassettes into his regular maintenance regime.
Steven first came upon the TMSystem™ about 10 years ago during his time at Windmill Village Golf Club in Coventry. From then on he has been a convert and has introduced the system to other clubs he has worked for – the last being Ansty Golf Centre in the Leicestershire area. "At my first club we had the full range of ATT SMART cassettes – Vibration, Verticutting, Brushing etc." he says, "They were so useful and versatile that I've managed to convince every employer since then to invest in them."
Whilst he has only been at Kirby Muxloe for 7 months the Sarel rollers, supplied by The Grass Group, have quickly become an integral part in his maintenance regime. They are used once every 2 weeks to work in whatever product is used to top dress the surface – wetting agent, feed etc. "The key," he says, "is to open it up, stop it sealing and work in the material. As we manage to add other SMART cassettes, especially the SMARTVibe unit, the system will play an even bigger part in our greens maintenance work. We have the common TMSystem™ chassis so adding to the cassette list is just a question of budget, but I'm hoping that every six months will see a new set in the shed."
Steven believes it's the perfect bit of kit, "especially for the trainees as it's a great way for them to get a feel for a machine. Not really able to go wrong with it; and certainly not able to do any real damage."

Colorado Family that loves to spend time at our mountain home!
Brad & Kelly Burgmann purchased this condo in 2003
Location-Location-Location! In Quiet East Village with best access to the top of Copper Mountain via the Supper B high speed lift, but only a moment away from the Center Village.
We want to make it feel like home for all with lots of board-games and other extras that you won't find in most rentals!
Copper Mountain has lots of activities such as (bumper boating, go carts, climbing wall, bungee jump, horse back riding & mini golf for a fee)
We loved every aspect of this condo! From the garage parking to the spacious kitchen, living room and bedrooms! It was a very short walk to both the Super Bee lift and the free shuttle; which is about a 5 minute ride into Center Village. Brad was great to work with and very responsive. We would definitely recommend this condo!
Thanks Brad! Had a great stay and loved your condo. Perfect for our family!
I appreciate all of your help and responsiveness to our inquiries.
Take care!
Great location only about a 2 minute walk to Super Bee lift. Easy parking and great condo. Spacious and nice warm fire to sit by.
A heads up, the hot tub is located at Copper Mountain Athletic Club which is about a 1/2 mile walk or drive to get to. When we arrived they told us it was $12 per person to use, per day. No big deal to us, but something to keep in Mind.
Overall I would highly recommend staying here again and would encourage other guests to stay here too.
Great location.
We loved our stay! Everything was renovated in the condo and the kitchen was fully stocked. Super comfortable beds. Very clean. Easy access to the Super Bee lift and the East Village. We also used the hot tub and spa facilities - very easy to get to and access. Brad and Kelly were also very communicative and timely.
The property was great and as advertised. Everything was well equipped and comfortable. We had 6 adults staying and I would NOT recommend more but we like elbow room. It is only a short walk(100 yards) to where you can ski down to the lift but almost the same skiing in. The owners were very cooperative and always responded quickly. We would recommend it to fellow travelers and would stay there again if we return to Copper Mountain. Skiing was very good and we had about 12" new snow during our stay.

Christian Charriere-Bournazel said that his client, Bertrand Rochette, one of three executives fired over accusations of committing industrial espionage against Renault S.A., is thinking about suing the French carmaker for defamation.
Rochette, who was number two to Michel Balthazard (the former vice president of advanced engineering), said he was determined to defend himself after receiving his dismissal letter a few days ago. Balthazard was also fired.
Charriere-Bournazel said the carmaker has not produced any evidence against Rochette, who wanted to be reinstated.
French state prosecutors recently launched an inquiry into industrial espionage at Renault after it filed a legal complaint alleging information had been passed to a foreign power, without saying which one.
Renault suspended the employees the previous week on suspicion they had leaked information about its high-profile electric car technology.
Xavier Thouvenin said Balthazard, his client, recently received his dismissal letter, which accused Balthazard of passing on strategic information in exchange for bribes, an accusation Balthazard denies "categorically."
Thouvenin said Balthazard would take the matter to an industrial tribunal. Charriere-Bournazel said Rochette found out in the newspapers that he was the object of a complaint lodged with the Paris prosecutor. [via reuters]
