Trump's New York towers face million dollar fines under Green New Deal
New York mayor Bill de Blasio has warned president Donald Trump that he could be fined up to $2.1 million if he doesn't retrofit his towers in the city to meet new environmental targets.
De Blasio issued notice to the president that eight of his residential and hotel towers do not comply with the environmental goals of the New York City Green New Deal ? a major new initiative to reduce the city's greenhouse gas emissions.
Trump could face fines of up to $2.1 million (£1.6 million) every year from 2030 if the structures aren't amended to meet new standards.
"President Trump ? you're on notice," said De Blasio. "Your polluting buildings are part of the problem. Cut your emissions or pay the price."
Trump towers among "biggest polluters in New York City" The mayor held a rally at Trump Tower yesterday to promote the New York City Green New Deal, which was passed last month. The initiative is taking a major stance against the city's high-rises, which account for nearly a third of all greenhouse gas emissions.
This includes a mandate for landlords to retrofit high-rises or face large fines, set to come into effect 17 May. Trump, who was a prolific real-estate developer prior to becoming president, is highlighted as a key target.
His eight culpable projects, which include Trump Tower, Trump Park Avenue and Trump Palace, are estimated to produce as many greenhouse gases as 5,800 cars a year. Among the worst offenders is Trump International Hotel &...

Digital currency: Brave new world or criminal haven?
Just as the internet has enabled the rise of e-commerce, it has also led to the emergence of e-money - currencies that only exists in digital form.
Advocates say these promise to revolutionise the global money supply, but critics insist they are a magnet for crooks.
Virtual currencies such as bitcoin, e-gold and liberty reserve, allows businesses and individuals to transfer funds across the globe without banks or governments charging fees.
Bank wires, credit cards, Western Union, money orders, cheques or local cash deposits, are used to add or remove funds from a digital currency account.
When registering a bank account, you generally have to supply proof of identity and an address, whereas registering with a digital currency provider only needs an Internet Protocol (IP) address.
That leaves the system open to abuse.
"When it comes to the high-level drug traffickers, they trust cash," says British police officer Mick Jameson, who specialises in internet fraud.
"Any transaction that takes places in an environment where people are using methods to keep them anonymous makes it harder for law enforcement," he adds.
Weak infrastructure
Despite security breaches such as a recent hack into a New York currency exchange, leading to the theft of bitcoins worth $250,000 (£155,000), advocates say the currency's basic technology is sound.
"As consumers gain confidence, it could transform global commerce," says Donald Norman, co-founder of the Bitcoin Consultancy.
He admits providers of the infrastructure for bitcoin have not been securing their sites well enough, but says the situation will improve.
"I remember when I was younger, people said don't use your credit card online because you will get robbed.
"Actually what happened is people realised they shouldn't use their credit card online on sites that they don't trust," he says.
"Bitcoin has been adopted by people who are really tech savvy and it needs to get to a certain level of user friendliness to be able to reach its second adoption phase," he says.
He insists there is a settlement system as secure as international wire transfers.
"Merchants don't accept funds without certain confirmations," he says.
"If there was a single confirmation, I would feel very, very safe," he says, "If I was selling the house, I would want about four confirmations. But that's my paranoia," he adds.
"In my previous job, I used to rely on international wire transfers and I had to pay $40 every time I wanted to expand the fruits of my labour," he says.
"That is 1% of my income, for what? For paying to try to stop criminal activity like money laundering. The banking system is doing an absolutely terrible job," he says.
He agrees bitcoin attracts a lot of unsavoury people.
"People will be duped, but that happens in every currency," he says.
Regulation required
The reason digital currencies are so cheap to use is partly because they are unregulated, which can create a haven for swindlers and money-launderers.
Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis says in the US even pizza parlours and High Street shops accept bitcoins.
"In other circumstances, for instance in video games like Eve Online, the company that puts together this game is the one that issues the currency and it effectively becomes a private central bank," he says.
He points out that when a private corporation is in control of a currency, there has to be trust in its ability to look after its customers' credit.
"When you are creating a currency whose purpose is to be unregulated and then that currency gains value and its exchange rate with the dollar or the pound sterling increases, then clearly this is going attract all sorts of people who want to launder their illicitly earned money," he says.
However, there are people who like the idea of a currency which bypasses the men in grey suits who have controlled everything until now.
Mr Varoufakis cites the eurozone crisis as being an example of when a digital currency might be preferable to more established options.
"If Greece were to reconstitute its own currency, it would take at least eight months to do that," he says.
"With digital currencies, you can create them at a touch of a button. What it does not offer is the opportunity of escaping the need for regulation," he adds.
Furthermore, digital currencies are global currencies, which raises many issues concerning taxation - in which country are you taxed?
"If you are a libertarian and you think that taxation equals theft, then you don't care much about this question because the answer you will get is, 'Well let's not get taxed and let's allow the various states to wither,'" he says.
"But if on the other hand you believe that states are essential for maintaining civilised behaviour and for having regulation, then it is a problem," he says.
He would not advocate Greek citizens converting their euros into digital currencies.
"I would advise them to put them in a German bank," he says.

A complaint about the "phenomenon" of dog-walking recently landed on the desk of Prince Sattam bin Abdul Aziz.
This practice was "becoming more and more acceptable and ... being taken advantage of by some young men in a way that conflicts with the rules and regulations of Islam," according to the protest from Othman al-Othman, head of Riyadh's religious police.
The young men, it seems, were being young men. They were "using cats and dogs to make passes at women and pester families," Mr. Othman told Al Hayat newspaper.
Prince Sattam, acting governor of Riyadh Province, responded by ordering city officials to begin enforcing a 1994 religious edict banning the sale of dogs and cats, because the prophet Muhammad had encouraged Muslims to refrain from trading in the animals, according to an officially circulated memo.
Although the ban does not prohibit walking your dog or owning a pet, Al Othman told Al Hayat that "if a man is caught with a pet, the pet will be immediately confiscated. And the man will be forced to sign a document pledging not to repeat the act."
For days after, the no-pet-in-public ban – consistent with the often heavy-handed efforts by the Saudi religious police to control the lives of ordinary people –was mocked in newspapers and blogs around the world.
Saudi-born veterinarian Maged Elhayek says he took a "panicky" call from a US Army vet asking if foreigners would still be allowed to take their pets out of the country.
Mr. Elhayek says that the religious edict goes beyond what the prophet Muhammad said. "First of all, he only discouraged people from selling dogs, he didn't prohibit it," said the vet. And there was no mention of cats in that advice.
The religious police "are trying to stop people from buying cats and dogs so they wouldn't act like a Westernized nation," says Elhayek. "I don't know what they're really after. You cannot stop people from being opened up to the world."
At the Life and Nature pet store, the ban was met mostly with derision.
"What kind of logic is this?" asks teenager Abdulaziz A. Al Bahassan, cradling his cat, "Dallah," in his arms. "What about little kids who like cats and dogs? They're not going to use them to flirt with girls, so why are they banning these people from buying?"
"I'm prettier than the dog, if I want to flirt with women, I'd just use myself!" says young Mohammed Al Anezi. "I wouldn't need the dog."
He adds that "there should be nothing wrong with buying a cat or dog. It should be normal."
Abdelaziz Al Yousef, who has a German shepherd named "Rocky," predicted that the ban would be "a big failure."
Upstairs in the store, university student Rabah Al Shuwaier, her face completely veiled in black except for her eyes, was visiting the vet with two of her six kittens: Snow white "Sugar" and light brown "Caramel."
"I know that having a pet at home and taking care of it is permissible under Islamic law," Ms. Shuwaier said. "But I'm not sure about the ruling on selling and buying cats and dogs. They wouldn't say it's wrong unless they had a reason to."
Salesmen at the pet shop said they'd received no official notification of the ban.
The Commission to Promote Virtue and Prevent Vice, as the religious police are formally known, did not respond to e-mailed questions about its dog-walking concerns from the Monitor.
More than a week after Al Hayat newspaper disclosed the ban, no Saudi official had come forward to clarify that the written version does not include dog-walking, or to explain how people can now acquire dogs and cats.
The officials' absence is partly explained by the grand bargain that the ruling royal family has with the Saudi religious community: In exchange for the clerics' support, the royal family allows them a free hand in many areas, particularly ones deemed minor in the larger scheme of things.
Meanwhile, the ruling family retains its prerogative to implement changes in more important issues. King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, for example, has taken important initiatives in interfaith dialogue and the issue of women entering the workforce despite clerical opposition.
Arab culture has generally considered dogs unclean, and Saudi religious authorities have advised against having them as household pets.
But dogs are increasingly seen as attractive pets and Saudis, especially the well-off, are keeping household animals of all kinds, said veterinarian Elhayek, administrator of Riyadh's Advanced Pet Clinic.
Ten years ago, the majority of his clients were Western pet owners. "Now it's almost 50-50," he says, with Arabs accounting for half.
Elhayek notes that Islam's holy book, the Koran, has a story about a group of believers who slept in a cave for 300 years with their dog.
In addition, revered stories about the prophet Muhammad tell of him commending people who saved lives of dogs by quenching their thirst.
"Now don't come and tell me that dogs are a yucky creature," says Elhayek. "They're a beautiful creature and the more I know people, the more I love my dog."
Cats have always been popular pets among Arabs, who as children learn about the prophet Muhammad's companion "Abu Huraira," or "Father of the Kitten," so-called because he carried one around.
Elhayek says that his understanding is that the government's order contains no prohibition on walking dogs in public, which is rare anyway in the capital, which has few parks and green spaces.
"Everybody who lives in Riyadh ... should not be afraid of walking their dogs out in the streets, because nobody's going to do anything to them," Elhayek says. "It's not illegal, it's not against the law."

Hundreds of mourners paid their final respects to the late Lena Horne on Friday, gathering in a New York City church to celebrate the life of the legendary jazz singer, actress and civil rights icon. The iconic entertainer died Sunday at age 92.

The funeral mass was at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola on the city's Upper East Side. Ms. Horne, whose signature song was "Stormy Weather," was remembered as a shy girl from Brooklyn who fought racism for decades to emerge as a world-class singer and social activist.
"In the pews were hundreds of mourners, among them Jessye Norman, Leontyne Price, Dionne Warwick, Lauren Bacall, Chita Rivera, Cicely Tyson (right), Vanessa Williams and Gov. David A. Paterson. Leslie Uggams said that Ms. Horne had been someone to look up to. "When my father reluctantly figured out that I was going to go in show business," Ms. Uggams recalled outside the church, he said, 'I want you to be like Lena.'
The service began with a cello piece by Bach. Later, Audra McDonald performed an arrangement of 'This Little Light of Mine' and 'Amazing Grace,' and one of four speakers, Representative John Lewis of Georgia, said Ms. Horne had been 'a light, and she did shine. She did not give in. She did not give up. She did not give out.' Mr. Lewis said he had known Ms. Horne since the civil rights demonstrations of the 1960s."
Other trailblazers such as Chita Rivera, Diahann Carroll and Dionne Warwick were present. Their photos and video from the service WHEN YOU JUMP ...
In related news: On Friday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) introduced a resolution that passed unanimously, recognizing Ms. Horne's legacy as a Hollywood trailblazer and civil rights activist. President Obama's statement on Ms. Horne's passage can be read HERE. And at The Huffington Post: Irene Monroe remembers the icon as "more than skin deep".

"Pakistan's nuclear materials, facilities and assets are safe and secure," he said in a speech to the conference being held at the headquarters of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna. Masood Khan, who is leading the Pakistan delegation, said nuclear security within a state was a fundamental national responsibility, as also a strategic global priority.
Over the years, he said Pakistan had worked closely with the IAEA to strengthen nuclear security, and was implementing an Action Plan in cooperationwith the agency.
"Our nuclear security regime is anchored in the principle of multilayered defence for the entire spectrum of any nuclear security threat - insider, outsider, and cyber threats - and is guided by the concept of the Five Ds, that is, to deter, detect, delay, defend, and destroy," the Pakistan envoy told delegates from around the world.
"We have established extensive physical protection measures, robust Command and Control structures, comprehensive export controls and an effective regulatory regime to ensure safety and security of nuclear materials and installations," he said, adding that as the apex body the National Command Authority, chaired by the Prime Minister, exercised command and control over all nuclear development, employment and security matters through its Secretariat - the Strategic Plans Division.
As of today, he said, an especially trained and skilled force of 25,000 nuclear security officials ensured the security of Pakistan's n uclear assets. Besides, integrated intelligence component exercises vigil to provided depth in defence.
Pakistan, having gained rich experience in the field of nuclear security, had established a Centre of Excellence that conducts specialized courses, physical protection and personnel reliability, Masood Khan said. "We are ready to share our experiences, best practices and training facilities with other
interested states in the region and beyond.
"Our security regime covers physical protection, material control and accounting, transport security, prevention of illicit trafficking, border controls, and radiological emergencies."
He also said that the Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority (PNRA) , an independent body, regulated the safety and security of civilian nuclear materials and facilities, working closely with the IAEA. "We are currently deploying Radiation Portal Monitors at key exit and entry points to prevent illicit trafficking of radioactive and nuclear materials."

Imagine a scenario where he does something and is overthrown, he is thrown in prison and he communicates with the US for his release in exchange for information he is privvy to.
I hope they ensured he was not aware of the location of any important sites, blacked out windows etc, dummy routes etc..
He may want to boast to other politicians and in dong so spill the beans, alternatively to safeguard his chair he could leak out info to the US/India should he feel his position threatened by the army.
This guy is so thick, during discussions with foreign leaders he could accidentally spill the beans. Imagine the US Fsecy or President or Indian counterparts taunting him that he being a leader does not know anything about the country's nw programme, I actually think he is thick enough that he could be manipulated to inadvertently giving out info he might think of as being trivial.
In fact Ex Pres Clinton has been on record has stating to the effect that that NS was 'not very intelligent', during their Kargil episode meeting when NS ran to the US with his head between his legs to safeguard his position, .

WASHINGTON: The United States has reaffirmed its confidence in the safety of Pakistani nuclear assets following Sunday night's terrorist attack on Karachi's Jinnah International Airport.
"We believe the Pakistani government understands the importance of protecting all of its arsenal, including things related to its nuclear program," Deputy Spokesperson at the State Department Marie Harf said at the daily briefing.
"We know that they care about this a great deal and have no reason at this point to think it's anything but safe," she added, when asked about the US views on safety of Pakistani nuclear weapons.
Meanwhile, in the wake of terrorist assault on Karachi airport, the State Department has said the US stands steadfast in its commitment to the people of Pakistan in their efforts to counter terrorism and build a peaceful future."
"We support Pakistan's efforts to bring all those involved in planning and executing this attack to justice," Spokesperson Jen Psaki said in a statement.
Regrettably, she noted, the Pakistani people face violent assaults from numerous groups.
She also expressed the US sincere condolences to those affected by this heinous attack on pilgrims in Balochistan and said Washington strongly condemns those responsible.
"Extremist violence against innocent Pakistani men, women, and children of any faith is an assault on universal human values."
"We encourage the government to take steps to protect and improve the lives of members of Pakistan's minorities and take concrete steps to promote tolerance and religious freedom. "

hay !
I dont think there is any operational fusion reactor available yet, but yes they have done it on experimental level !
One a side note amatuers do fusion reaction but that is not for generating energy, aber doch ich bin kein spezialist !
Its never the machine but the MAN itself.

Antonio Gades' flamenco ballets
Date created :
The age-old Spanish art of flamenco is brought to life on the Paris stage this winter by the Antonio Gades company. He was the man entrusted with founding Spain's National Ballet in the post-Franco era.
his widow Eugenia Eiriz joins us on Culture to explain how his legacy lives on through his dance company and foundation, and how dance can have a deceptively complex message. We also talk unfilmable films as Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" hits cinema screens worldwide.
And we are checking out French actress Marion Cotillard's chances at worldwide superstardom – after her nomination for another Golden Globe in the US.

Around the time that I got engaged, my now-husband was making pennies as a line cook. We're talking date nights of PBR, cheap burgers, and free concerts in the park. Because, when you have negative dollars, that's how you roll.
So when I knew he was ring-hunting, I steered him in the direction of a $100 sapphire ring. Actually, I think it was $99.95, but I digress. He protested a little but finally caved and bought it—and I love it.
Once we got engaged, though, it was pretty obvi that my friends/family/barista at Starbucks thought it was lame that he didn't spend a bajillion dollars on a rock the size of Texas. (Not that I advertised the cost; I just didn't have a honking diamond on my finger which apparently is a crime in some neighborhoods.) My mom actually thought I didn't want to get hitched because I didn't care about the ring and wasn't that into planning the wedding. I was just wanted to marry the dude I'd been dating for five years. Crazy-pants, I know.
So I was amped by a new study that found a growing number of women don't want to wait until their guy can afford a huge ring. Finally! Engagement news that speaks to my people.
The study surveyed men and women and found that 73 percent of ladies would rather their guy just effing propose already instead of waiting until he can shell out for something ginormous. On the flipside, 45 percent of men said they'd want to wait until they can afford a nice ring.
Can we just take a sec to think about that? You both want to get hitched, but he wants to wait so that he can go broke spending money on a piece of pressurized coal. Diamonds are pretty and all, but c'mon, guys! (BTW: If huge diamonds are your thing, more power to you. It's just not mine.)
With more women earning college degrees than men, guys on average are earning less than we are. It's nice to see that we've adjusted our expectations accordingly, but apparently men need a little more convincing. So, guys, seriously: Just chill the hell out already. This is pretty much the only time that size really doesn't matter—go with it.
A rock is just a rock. Marriage is forever (um, hopefully).

The Highways Agency say recovery is taking place at the scene for a vehicle which has lost a wheel.
There are long delays from J31 as a result.
UPDATE 5pm: All lanes are now open. Long delays remain from J32 but these should start to ease now.

Far-Flung Galaxy Clusters in the Hubble Medium Deep Sky Survey
A selection of NASA Hubble Space Telescope snapshots of huge galaxy clusters that lie far away and far back in time. These are selected from a catalog of 92 new clusters uncovered during a six-year Hubble observing program known as the Medium Deep Survey.
If the distances and masses of the clusters are confirmed by ground based telescopes, the survey may hold clues to how galaxies quickly formed into massive large-scale structures after the big bang, and what that may mean for the eventual fate of the expanding universe.
The images are each a combination of two exposures in yellow and deep red taken with Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. Each cluster's distance is inferred from the reddening of the starlight, which is due to the expansion of space. Astronomers assume these clusters all formed early in the history of the universe.
HST133617-00529 (left) This collection of spiral and elliptical galaxies lies an estimated 4 to 6 billion light-years away. It is in the constellation of Virgo not far from the 3rd magnitude star Zeta Virginis. The brighter galaxies in this cluster have red magnitudes between 20 and 22 near the limit of the Palomar Sky Survey. The bright blue galaxy (upper left) is probably a foreground galaxy, and not a cluster member. The larger of the galaxies in the cluster are probably about the size of our Milky Way Galaxy. The diagonal line at lower right is an artificial satellite trail.
HST002013+28366 (upper right) This cluster of galaxies lies in the constellation of Andromeda a few degrees from the star Alpheratz in the northeast corner of the constellation Pegasus. It is at an estimated distance of 4 billion light-years, which means the light we are seeing from the cluster is as it appeared when the universe was roughly 2/3 of its present age.
HST035528+09435 (lower right) At an estimated distance of about 7 to 10 billion light-years (z=1), this is one of the farthest clusters in the Hubble sample. The cluster lies in the constellation of Taurus.

Color is an important factor in many aspects of medical devices, from design to how the device is used and by whom. In 2010, the FDA and regulatory bodies around the world increased their scrutiny of colors as additives in all materials and are paying special attention to the biologic testing performed on pigments used in plastic in an effort to reduce potential safety risks.
Good color specifications create boundaries within a color space that indicate the exact color desired by OEMs for medical devices, but are not too tight to cause excessive rejections. Numeric color measurement plays an important role in color control for the plastics compounder and the molder. By establishing tolerances for acceptable color, OEMs can help processors, from raw material to finished parts, achieve consistent color quality across multiple lots and manufacturing sites around the world.
Color control tolerances are often driven by the application. For example, color used to identify different sizes and types of medical instruments usually does not have to be as stringent, since color is being used to differentiate one instrument from another. Devices incorporating various polymers of the same color can require tighter tolerances to maintain color harmony and devices incorporating brand colors are often driven by corporate guidelines using ink on paper.
An important first step in color control is a basic understanding of color technology, color measurement, and methods available to control color. Device color can be evaluated visually by trained colorists or instrumentally with color measuring devices and software. Visual evaluation can be limiting because it can be difficult to communicate or transfer color information and is usually not a good choice for consistent color control. A good practice is to measure color instrumentally and incorporate visual evaluation in the total color control process.
The two most common color-measuring instruments are the colorimeter and the spectrophotometer. Colorimeters are useful for simple color difference measurements when both the standard and the trial are made from the same substrate, the same colorants and using one illuminant. Spectrophotometers measure the reflected or transmitted light at specific wavelengths to provide color difference measurements as well as take into account gloss or texture.
Numerous measuring systems have been developed over the years to quantify color numerically using color-measuring instruments. These systems require the use of a defined color space that is usually three-dimensional and provides a means for color specification or identification and comparison. The most popular are based on the CIE L*a*b* color space. In the CIE L*a*b* color space, colors are identified by their L*, a*, and b* values:
L* defines the lightness/ darkness of a color
a* defines the redness/ greenness of a color
b* defines the yellowness/ blueness of a color
When a color is measured instrumentally using the CIE L*a*b* color space, the resulting numeric coordinates for L*, a* and b* can be used to identify a particular color and can also be used as a quality control tool. Numeric color values from current manufacturing lots of medical devices can be compared to stored standard values. Numerous color difference equations have been developed based on the CIE L*a*b* color space that actually improve the correlation between what is measured instrumentally and how it corresponds to what is actually perceived by the human eye. Visual evaluation should always be a part of a good color control program.

Thanks to a fuel cell-powered electric nose wheel, aircraft will be able to save fuel while significantly reducing airport noise. A quiet and emission-free tarmac will be possible. After three years of development at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), the system is now ready for its first rolling tests with the DLR A320 ATRA (Advanced Testing and Research Aircraft).
"The fuel cell-powered electric nose wheel reduces the emissions produced by aircraft at airports by up to 27%, and noise levels during taxiing by up to 100%," explains Josef Kallo, the project manager for the emission-free, fuel cell-powered nose wheel at the DLR Institute of Technical Thermodynamics (Institut für Technische Thermodynamik). Aircraft fitted with this nose wheel will be able to approach their apron locations travelling in both forward and reverse directions, as well as taxi to their take-off positions without needing towing vehicles or using their main engines.
Successfully tested in the laboratory
The nose wheel drive system, which has already undergone successful testing in the laboratory, comprises two highly efficient electric motor units built into the rims of the aircraft's nose wheel. The fuel cell system responsible for delivering electrical energy is capable of powering the nose wheel of an aircraft weighing up to 70 tons. The fuel cells, which are direct electrochemical energy converters, produce electricity from hydrogen and oxygen and are significantly more efficient than an internal combustion engine with a coupled generator.
When used for short haul journeys involving up to seven take offs and landings per day, electrical manoeuvring on the ground could allow for savings of between 200 and 400 litres of kerosene per day. Reducing the operating time of the engines will also have a positive effect on their maintenance intervals. With an average time of up to 34 minutes (depending on the airport) on the ground between landing and take off, it will be possible to reduce the operating time of the engines by 1200 hours per year.
The new nose wheel drive will also mean a reduction in noise levels at airports; with its low-noise fuel cell system (silent, apart from fan noise), the electrical unit will drive the aircraft almost silently across the tarmac.
Partners Airbus and Lufthansa Technik support technology development
For about three years, DLR has been working on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economics and Technology (Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Technologie; BMWi), on emission-free ground propulsion systems for aircraft. As part of the German aeronautical research programme LuFo IV (Luftfahrtforschung), DLR has been working with its partner, Airbus Deutschland GmbH, to develop an aircraft-grade fuel cell system and an electric nose wheel motor for an Airbus A320. The construction of the entire system was overseen by Airbus and installed in a special test vehicle by Lufthansa Technik AG of Hamburg.
"The highly specialised knowledge of both aeronautical partners has played a crucial role in the design, construction and operation of the nose wheel drive system," says Josef Kallo. Successful tests, both in the laboratory and under realistic conditions on the dynamometer, have already demonstrated the performance capabilities of the system as a whole.
Rolling tests with the research aircraft, ATRA, scheduled for April
The tests to be carried out with ATRA, the DLR research aircraft, are scheduled for April 2011 and will take place in Hamburg, again with the support of Airbus and Lufthansa Technik.

Yuanmingyuan (Garden of perfect splendor) is renowned throughout the world for its fabled charms and association with Chinese modern history. Extolled as the "Garden of Gardens" and the "Versailles of the East" during its heyday, it was an imperial summer resort painstakingly built and repeatedly expanded under the personal supervision of five emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Located in the northern part of Haidian District in Beijing, Yuanmingyuan is composed of three comparatively independent but interconnected gardens: Yuanmingyuan, Changchunyuan (Garden of Eternal Spring), and Qichunyuan (Garden of Blossoming Spring).
Covering an area of about 350 hectares, Yuanmingyuan was a vast landscaped garden at once grand in scale and enchanting in scenery. Its green hills and exquisite architecture were laid out with picturesque appeal, and decorated with thriving trees and beautiful flowers. Yuanmingyuan was not only famed for its beauty. It was also an imperial museum with a vast collection of cultural treasures. The French writer Victor Hugo once remarked, "With all its treasures, Notre Dame in Paris is no match for Yuanmingyuan, that enormous and magnificent museum in the East." Furniture made of red sandalwood decorated the numerous halls in which countless rare cultural relics were on display. Alas, the skill and sophistication of the builders of this historic "Garden of Gardens," and the cultural treasures contained within it, failed to escape the destruction inflicted on China by the Western powers.

Sustainability master's helps professional engineers grow in new directions
Posted on 02. May, 2013 by perspective in Academic Departments, Alumni, Economic Impact, Engineering Professional Development, Issues, Magazine, Students
As energy & CO2 leader for Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati, Steve Skarda spends most of his time working on renewable energy issues. But even on his own time, he thinks about sustainability. "It's a personal passion for me," he says. "I love it a lot. I took a car and converted it to an electric vehicle. It was a perfect project for me because it was a hands-on technical project while also matching my personal interests."
Skarda grew up on a farm near Green Bay and earned an electrical engineering degree from Marquette University. In January 2013, he became part of the inaugural class in the new online Master of Engineering in Sustainable Systems Engineering (SSE) program at UW-Madison. He learned about the degree from a UW-Madison alum who works in his office.
The Department of Engineering Professional Development announced the degree in May 2012. The department created the degree in response to requests from both public and private sector partners for help finding professionals to fill sustainability leadership roles in their organizations. "And, many of our partners told us that they need professionals who have a solid engineering foundation and solid preparation in business and environmental science," says Carl Vieth, EPD director of corporate education. "As we looked around, we were unable to find an engineering master's degree program that filled this unmet need."
SSE is designed to prepare mid-career engineers with knowledge in sustainable engineering practices they need to be leaders in managing systems that impact the quality of water, land, air, energy, economics and society. "We see the degree as a stepping stone to career advancement, as well as personal enrichment," says Vieth. "For many engineers with an interest in sustainability, it would be very difficult to craft a master's program that combines engineering, business and environmental science coursework—let alone to have such a program that is totally online. Through SSE, these professionals can enhance their competencies without interrupting their careers."
SSE also focuses on the technical aspects of three specializations: energy production and distribution, facilities and built environment, and infrastructure.
It's the perfect fit for Skarda, who is one of eight students in the inaugural class. He spends most of his workday focused on renewable energy and conservation. He wanted to spend more time focusing on sustainability while broadening his leadership role within the company. The online master's program allows Skarda, who works full time, the flexibility to fit the coursework to his schedule. "I love the job I have leading Procter & Gamble's renewable energy efforts, and I am proud of the results we have achieved on reducing our footprints in energy and CO2," he says. "However, when I thought about my future career, I realized I was missing some of the fundamental skills in the broader sustainability world. I needed to build competency in sustainability outside my direct area of expertise in energy, such as waste, water, and transportation. I wanted to fill a larger leadership role in sustainability, but I didn't have the background in it. So when I saw the sustainable systems engineering curriculum, I thought, 'That is a great fit.'"
Skarda quickly experienced the benefits of his coursework while attending a meeting with a company that is paving the way toward a sustainable energy future for the United States. The goal was to brainstorm how Procter & Gamble might accelerate its existing
strategies in renewable energy—and the conversation included terms familiar to the sustainability lexicon, such as material metabolism, industrial ecology, and sustainability frameworks. "I was listening to this and I realized I had just discussed those concepts in class last week," Skarda says. "They were using a language I understood. I knew exactly what they were talking about and was able to more fully participate and contribute to the conversation."
In addition to the flexibility of online coursework, the program follows a new flexible curriculum model, says Marty Gustafson, SSE program director. The degree teaches a skillset that can be applied across many industries and applications. "We teach, at the very beginning, a set of core competencies in sustainability. It gives students foundational skills and helps them understand applications of sustainability. From there, they figure out which direction they want to go. They choose the electives to best fit their careers. That can mean specializing or going for breadth. It's up to them," Gustafson says.
The flexible curriculum not only allows students to shape the degree to fit their careers, it also helps faculty understand what topics need to be explored in the coursework. Since the students are working in industry and dealing daily with sustainability issues, faculty are able to adjust the curriculum to improve its relevancy. "It really brings some urgency to the learning," Gustafson says. "It's been really exciting. We just had a case study regarding environmental ethics. A woman taking the one-credit class had direct knowledge of the issues. In fact, she was attending our online conference from an airport and was heading to a meeting with the EPA to talk about the issue we were discussing, which was environmental testing. That type of firsthand knowledge and real-life problem solving just doesn't normally happen in a regular graduate classroom."
It does, however, happen more and more frequently. Procter & Gamble is among a growing number of organizations for which sustainability has become a strategic imperative, says Vieth. Many of those companies are being required to set aggressive sustainability goals, and report their sustainability performance. "Global supply chains and regulatory imperatives, especially in the European Union, are driving manufacturers to new levels of sustainable activity," he says.
Effective engineering is critical to achieving these aggressive targets. "Professionals from SSE will have major impacts on the lifecycle performance organizations—ranging from transportation systems, facilities and supply chain to product design, manufacturing, and end-of-life retirement," says Vieth. "This particular set of organizational competencies will ultimately come to define who will play well into the future—and SSE grads will be leading those who succeed."

One of my colleague/friend from Prague, visited us for dinner yesterday, and I had to prepare something which is mild, with less spices, as suitable to his taste buds!
Then the dish which came into mind was Butter Chicken… it is so mild and tasty at the same time. One advantage in this recipe is that, it can be made as mild or as spicy as one wishes without altering the actual taste.
This dish is among the best known Indian foods all over the world.
I have adapted this recipe from chef Sanjeev Kapoor's popular food show "Khana Khazana" on Zee TV 🙂 From the time I was little young, I used to sit in front of TV, by the time the program starts, with a pen and paper and note down the ingredients and method carefully 🙂 I really like the way he makes the show and recipes interesting!!
Chicken, boneless: 800 gms
Kashmiri red chilli powder: 1 tsp, adjust accordingly
Lemon juice: 1 tbsp
Salt: to taste
For Makhani gravy
Ginger Garlic paste: 1 Tbsp
Green chillies: 2, chopped, adjust accordingly
Butter: 3 Tbsp
Green cardamoms: 2-3
Cloves: 4-5
Cinnamon: 1 inch stick
Tomato puree: 400 gms
Red chilli powder: 1 Tbsp, adjust accordingly
Garam masala powder: 1/2 tsp
Salt: to taste
Honey: 2 Tbsp
Kasoori methi: 1/2 tsp
Fresh cream: 1 cup
Red Food Color: a pinch
For Marination
Ginger Garlic Paste: 1 Tbsp
Yogurt: 1 cup
Kashmiri red chilli powder: 1 tsp
Salt: to taste
Lemon juice: 2 tbsps
Garam masala powder: 1/2 tsp
Butter: 2 tbsps
How I did it:
- Apply a mixture of red chilli powder, lemon juice and salt to the chicken and leave aside for half an hour.
- Hang yogurt in a muslin cloth for fifteen to twenty minutes to remove extra water.
- To this add red chilli powder, salt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala powder and butter.
- Apply this marinade to the chicken pieces and refrigerate for three to four hours.
- Put the chicken onto a skewer and cook in a preheated oven at 200°C for ten to twelve minutes or until almost done.
- Remove and keep aside, for further use.
- Heat butter in a pan. Add green cardamoms, cloves and cinnamon.
- Saute for two minutes, add ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chillies.
- Cook for two minutes. Add tomato puree, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, salt, red food color and one cup of water.
- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for ten minutes.
- Add honey and powdered kasoori methi.
- Add cooked tandoori chicken pieces.
- Simmer for five minutes and then add fresh cream.
- Serve hot with Naan, Parantha or Steamed Rice.
And the Verdict:
My guest was all pleased, and he loved the chicken. It was mild and tasty and finger licking 🙂

Personal Comment:
I have read Tuesday's Child and also Hide'n Go Seek, and Maddie's Floor is in my TBR pile. Each book was quite different from the other and Maddie's Floor promises to be even more different from the first two. The books in the series each stand alone just fine on their own - What connects them are the female protagonists who are all strong psychics, though with different, unusual strenghts.
When you believed in the goodness of life, why did darkness always nudge up against you – test you – try to make you change your mind? Late afternoon sunshine poured through the window of The Haven casting warm rays across Madeleine Wagner's spacious office on the top floor of the long-term care facility. The early part of August had been hot and humid. Now, entering the last week, the dead heat had cooled to a comfortable temperature. She stared at the paperwork stacked high on one side of her desk, then at a smaller mountain on the other. Groaning, she leaned back and rubbed her throbbing temple. Why had she wanted to become a doctor anyway? Although, today her career choice wasn't the problem; it was her other skills. The skills no one mentioned but everyone knew about. Dr. Madeline…was not only a brilliant doctor, b ut a medical intuitive. And her unorthodox skills were the reason Dr. Johnson, from the second floor, had asked her to look at Eric Colgan. He wanted Maddy to try to find out why Eric's condition was deteriorating so rapidly – for no apparent reason – when all his tests were coming back negative. She'd gotten her first inkling something wasn't right while Dr. Johnson had been explaining the case. Then he'd sent her an email with more details. As she read, a weird twinge settled at the base of her neck. A sensation something was wrong. That feeling had grown until just the sight of her colleague's email brought goose bumps on her arms. She'd immediately printed the page off, dug out a new folder and buried it under a dozen others. It made no difference. It pulled at her. Sitting there. Waiting. She sat up straight and forced herself to continue through the large stack of paperwork, until the pull refused to be ignored. Crap. She pushed the open file off to the side and dragged the email out. Maybe she should take a quick peek. See if there was anything she could do, and if not, then she'd pass the case back – quickly. She wasn't able to help everyone.
She quickly accessed Eric's file on her computer. With his information displayed in front of her, she eased back from the heavy mahogany desk and mentally distanced herself from her emotions. She took several deep breaths to calm her energy. On the next breath, she opened her inner eye and focused on Eric's energy. Almost instantly, the outline of a young man's body formed; it stood upright in the center of the office, as clear as if he actually stood before her. Sometimes the person appeared in street clothes, as if they'd just walked into her office, and she'd see the energy moving through them and over them. Other times she saw only a vague shape pulsing with colors. This time Maddy saw both the physical and the energetic forms of Eric. Now the shell of Eric's body teemed with a swirling darkness as energy poured outward in hundreds of dark red and purple ribbons. Hugging the outside edge, his aura hung lanky and dark, missing the vitality of someone in good health and good spirits. Colors swelled and receded in a grotesque dance. Stretching away from the body, they faded outward, filling the small office. Maddy rose and circled the desk to get a better view of this apparition. She reared back slightly and blinked several times. The energy still twisted and stretched in its macabre dance. She rocked slightly on the balls of her feet. She'd never seen anything like this.
Angry energy had one appearance. Hatred had another. But this…this defied description. Maddy needed more information. Letting the vision dissolve, she walked back to her desk and laid one hand flat on top of the printed email. Eric's energy reached out and grabbed her by the throat. She coughed and choked – tears filled her eyes. She snatched her hand back and bolted to the far end of the room. Christ. Maddy paced around the small office trying to calm herself. Another 'first.' In the middle of the room she stopped, her hand on her chest. She took three deep breaths, and frowned. His energy was incredibly strong. Maddy's mind stalled…reconsidered. Was it his energy? She'd assumed it was his, but did she know that for sure? Not really. Frustrated, she returned to her chair to flip through the online information. Changing tactics, and with her finely tuned control locked in place, she released a small amount of energy outward in Eric's direction. It normally took a moment or two to see the pattern, feel the pain and locate the regions of distress in an unhealthy body. Not this time. This time, tidal waves of anger washed over her. Whatever had happened to this young man, she knew he hadn't come to terms with it. That didn't surprise her. Few people came to terms with imminent death, whether it was their own or that of friends and family. Anger was an understandable reaction to learning you had less than three months to live. But what she'd experienced just now was so much more than anger. Maddy hugged herself to ward off the unearthly cold now permeating the room. She tried to focus on Eric's physical condition, but emotional trauma blasted at her, disturbing her balance. This man was beyond angry. He'd moved into panic. Confusion and pain agitated his space. His outrage – palpable. So was his terror. Tapping into her inner eye, she brought up the same energy vision as before. The aura had thinned until it was snug against his body. Leaning forward, she studied the color patterns, searching for the origin. Energy swarmed throughout the different layers of the young man's body, refusing to stay contained. It was as if the shell were too small to hold it all. The colors darkened, the energy slowed – as if heavy – engorged. Static energy filled the small room, strong enough to cause loose strands of her hair to quiver. The image was painful to observe. It reminded her of the aftermath of a feeding frenzy. One energy feasted on the other. Then it hit her. Clearly. There wasn't a single energy spinning endlessly inside this body – there were two. Two separate and distinct energies fought a battle within him as he stood before her.
