Pursuing a revolutionary change in public transportation is not about money, but sharing and fun! - Bibop Gresta, Chairman, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies
- +0
- +0
There is an intoxicating feel about the Hyperloop. A project of high speed public transportation powered by linear induction motors and air compressors meant to travel at an average speed of 600mph (970 km/h), it was brought back to public interest with modifications in 2013 by Elon Musk, who trademarked it through his space transport company Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX).
The interesting part is that Hyperloop is an open sourced project and anyone can potentially make it happen. There have been several propositions by students and three main companies have started up to adjust and implement Musk's idea. These are Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, Hyperloop One, and TransPod. The former two are US-based, while the latter is Canadian.
Bibop Gabriele Gresta, Chairman and COO at Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT), started the company with Dirk Ahlborn about a year ago. The Italian entrepreneur is running the Hyperloop race because it is exciting and fun. He has a background in multiple fields, including software development, digital media, finance, and humanitarian work.
He began his career at 15, responsible for a computer programming at the super-learning company Alpha Centre. Later, he did so many different things, his career seems to be a bet on how many experiences one can have in a lifetime. He has been a dancer, TV and radio presenter, manager and investor in themes parks and speaker. At 28, he sold 40 per cent of his Bibop production company to Telecom Italia earning 11 billion lira. In 2003, he started the incubator Digital Magics and ventured into investments across Europe, counting three IPOs so far.
His journey into the Hyperloop venture started because he was getting bored in Europe. "I felt I wasn't learning anything any longer," he shares, "I wanted to move to the US because if I hadn't done it then, I would have never done it later. So I went to the Valley."
To his surprise, however, San Francisco was boring too. "They don't have fun! You go out with a girl and she starts pitching a Facebook for cats and dogs at you!" he exclaims. "That's when I decided to relocate to Los Angeles, and that was a great idea! Besides the plastic Hollywood world, there is a very interesting scene of entrepreneurs and engineers."
He started attending weekly tech meetups and that's where "I met that mad man of a business partner, Dirk Ahlborn" he says. At first, a collaboration between the two did not seem plausible. "Dirk approaches me and tells me - in fluent Italian - that he's been working on Hyperloop with a team of 100 scientists. I was really sceptical...Elon Musk's white paper had been released only months earlier," shares Bibop. "When I asked him how much money he had raised, he told me none, because he didn't need it. You can imagine I had my doubts."
Dirk explained to him that all he had done was to crowd source the Hyperloop project and, in a very short span of time, scientists from different geographies and companies, including NASA and Livermore Labs, joined in. Bibop comments, "When Dirk told me this, I couldn't help shouting 'You want to build the world's most evolved transportation project with crowd-sourcing?' I just could not believe it."
After that conversation, Bibop went home with a document about the project Dirk had sent him. It stayed on his laptop desktop for a while, "It was watching me and I was watching it," he recalls, "And only after a few weeks did I resolve to open it. It was Musk's paper with a lot of attached notes about the feasibility of the project. Each of them was written by a scientist - some were even scanned versions of handwritten posts!- who reported also their name, job title, their company, and contact details," Bibop recalls.
Dirk named this large participation of scientists 'crowd storming'. Bibop grew more curious and fascinated. He says that, "For a month, I was in a bubble. Totally focussed on studying this document and doing a lot of due diligence to find out if it was a scam." It turned out that it was not a joke, but a very real participatory project. He continues, "I called every single person who had written notes on that document and to my surprise most of them told me they were really excited to be part of this, and that money was not their priority." Shortly afterwards, Bibop called Dirk and informed him that he was excited to get on board.
Dirk used to work for Girvan Institute, a non-profit incubator for tech companies which started to help NASA commercialise its technologies. He also founded Jump Starter Inc, a platform to help early stage companies grow through crowdfunding and crowdsourcing. Through this, the duo did a call to action to invite more experts to join Hyperloop. This allowed them to expand their pool of collaborators worldwide and to diversify the competencies. Bibop says that currently they have 540 scientists working with them from 42 countries who get stock options instead of receiving a salary.
This is how HTT started in November 2013. They have built their technology around a project formerly used to stabilise bullets into cannons, patented in the Livermore Labs years before. Through their crowdsourced team they got in touch with the author of the patent, declassified it and used it for their transportation purposes.
Earlier this year, they announced that they obtained construction permits to build a five mile test track in Quay Valley, California in collaboration with Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum and AECOM. It should be ready by 2019 and the predicted cost is $150 million. Other tracks are planned by SpaceX (1.6 km tracks which Space X is building and the one Hyperloop One is planning in Nevada.)
Now, here the story becomes even more intricate. Firstly, Hyperloop is in itself a challenge because it is open to anybody. More precisely, it is open to anybody who has the skills, the energy and the resources necessary to develop solutions. So not exactly to anybody, but to a large enough number of people to generate tough competition.
Hyperloop One, one of HTT's main competitor groups, is led by, among others, individuals with strong connections to Musk. One is Shervin Pishevar, an early major investor in Uber; David Sacks, currently on the board of directors at PayPal; and finally, Brogan BamBrogan, the Hyperloop One CEO, who is one of SpaceX's main engineers. Hyperloop One has raised $ 80 million in series B funding from the French company SNCF and has tested their prototype in Nevada, but on rails.
Bibop is more concerned about them than the Canadian company Trans Pod because the competition with Hyperloop One has been harsher, especially on questions regarding trademarks and media attention. According to Bibop, the main problem is the clash of visions between the two companies. He says that HTT does not want only to implement a futuristic and efficient public service, but also to establish a model of running a business no longer based on the enrichment of a few. "Hyperloop is a very powerful technology and you can make a lot of money out of it. This wealth should be distributed as much as possible. We believe in a capitalism based on abundance rather than on consumption" says Bibop, and shares that HTT is working with Fullerton Universtity on business models that would allow Hyperloop to be free of cost for passengers.
Another big challenge is, no surprise, the budget. The main criticism Musk received when he first released his white paper was regarding his too optimistic calculation of costs ($6 billion for the passenger-only version, coverable in 20 years with $20 journey tickets). Bibop and some other contributors who work at the project have been able to finance HTT out of their own pocket and Bibop says this model will be able to sustain future costs too. Although HTT have done their math, it is very hard to predict all the risks - not only engineering related - a technology never tested before can imply.
Bibop concludes showing his digital record of sleep hours in the last 12 months. "I normally need to sleep seven hours per night, I sleep less than five on average now," he says. It is not necessary to be a physician to notice that his level of adrenaline is reaching rare peaks. To run the Hyperloop race, one needs to be fast, and there are many things that can go wrong, especially if you are going up against giant competitors. But it seems that fun for Bibop and HTT is precisely a synonym of high adrenaline.

LH4-1 oil field is a subsea tie-back which was developed by CNOOC in 2012. After a short period of production, the subsea control umbilical started with low Insulation Resistance (IR) of its electric control quads. Extensive trouble shooting work immediately started. The trouble was identified to be on the main umbilical. The subsea electric control was swapped to the spare quad. After about a year, the spare quad also had zero IR. In order to resume the subsea control, feasibility of using the spare Medium Voltage (MV) power cable triads as control channel was studied immediately. The idea of using three core triad to establish dual communication channels with two frequency bands was thoroughly studied and it was found theoretically feasible. Originally the communication was one loop controls 4 wells, now with the new arrangement one loop controls 8 wells, 3-core with one as common return makes two loops. So the new MV cable communication configuration can still achieve subsea control with 100% redundancy. Subsea special bridge flyleads were designed and manufactured to convert the 70mm2 3-core MV flylead to 10mm2 4-core communication flylead. Offshore intervention work was done in 2014. After installation, subsea communication to all 8 wells was re-established as expected. The signal qualitywas much better that the original umbilical possibility due to the large MV copper cores.

|The Value of Tamarind (Tamarindus indica l.)Fruit Pulp and its Potential Use in Making Vinegar
|Taha, Safiya Altuhami Ballal
|This study is aimed to determine the physicochemical properties and antioxidant content of tamarind fruit pulp and potential use in vinegar production. This study reports the chemical properties of vinegar produced from two tamarind fruit pulp samples (Tamarindus indica l.), from Eastern Sudan A (Elgadarif ) and B from Western Sudan (Kordofan). The chemical composition showed significant difference (p≤o.o5) between the two samples ,except ash content .The results of physical properties showed that Sample A scored the higher range 28.87%, 42.21(Brix) in acidity and TSS (Brix) respectively. Regarding the levels of antioxidant, the results revealed that the samples under investigation were significantly different (p≤0.05) in polyphenol and ascorbic acid, and they ranged between 3.82, 0.61(mg/100g) and 6.00, 0.41 (mg/100g), for sample A and B respectively. For the production of vinegar, the fruit pulp was first digested and fermented with the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisae), and then acedified with Acetobacter aceti. In The fermentation process, the physical properties of ethanol produced from the two samples like refractive index, density (g/cm3), concentration (%) were determined. The results showed no significant difference (p ≥o.o5) between A and B in refractive index and density (g/cm3). The best concentration (%) of ethanol was obtained by sample A. In the acidification process, the physical properties were also estimated.The result were 1.35, 0.95(g/cm3), 18.14%, for sample A, and 1.34, 0.94(g/cm3), 17.18%, for sample B. Sample A had higher concentration of produced vinegar. Positive relationship between the concentration of alcohol and produced vinegar was established. There was no significant difference (p≥o.o5) in other measured parameters. The pH value decreased greatly within production steps, that could account for the observed acidic taste of vinegar produced. There for, tamarinds fruit pulp could be recommended to be used in vinegar production.

Okay, so I got a pair of these Eyeclops Miniprojectors - not great quality but I only spent a few bucks on them a pop.
Any who, I am looking at this thing and wondering if I can turn them into some sort of wearable display. To do that I was curious to see if any one had a pinout of the board or if any one has done any (successful) experiments with it.
I'll get some shots up on request.
Eyeclops Projector?
If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

Before Urban Meyer became the head coach at Ohio State the Buckeyes were an elite program and routinely put prospects into the NFL. But since taking over in 2012 Meyer has elevated the talent level even further pumping out NFL Draft picks at a record level. Twelve Buckeyes heard their names called in 2016 and seven more in 2017.
It is not unusual for big time programs like this to have numerous prospects drafted each year, but what makes the Buckeyes unique is prospects are able to step in with little to no experience and emerge as elite highly drafted prospects. Malik Hooker and Marshon Lattimore are two prime examples or prospects who stepped into starting roles last year with both being drafted in the top half of the first round.
Here are the next Buckeyes that are poised to emerge ad top level prospects for the 2018 NFL Draft.
#tOSU RG and future C Billy Price showing the ability to slide laterally and redirect in pass pro #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/6JK44meaEb
— Brian Johannes (@Draft_Brian) June 19, 2017
Price is looking to follow the footsteps of former teammate Pat Elflein moving from guard to center. It was Elflein who played left guard as a junior before moving to center to replace the departed Jacoby Boren. Elflein thrived at center and was drafted by the Vikings in the third round of the 2017 draft. As good as Elflien was, Price's potential is sky high with some draft analysts believing he could be a first round pick. Price uses his athletic ability to his advantage moving well laterally to stay in front of defenders and keep the middle of the line clean. In the run game Price uses his quickness to get into position to seal off defenders but uses leverage well to steer defenders and open up running lanes.
Don't let his status as a redshirt sophomore give you any hesitation as we saw Malik Hooker declared last year. Jones was a 12 game starter last year as a freshman making an early impact using his speed and quickness to disrupt the backfield. What makes Jones different is while he has the strength to anchor and stop the run, his ability to move laterally allows him to make plays out of his gap. Jones does need to improve his pass rushing moves as he relies too often on his athletic ability. If Jones can develop a move or two his stock may only flourish and he'll have to make a tough decision about his future.
#tOSU LB Chris Worley is not letting a hold stop him from getting to the ball carrier #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/1ZqvK3YbSC
— Brian Johannes (@Draft_Brian) July 19, 2017
With Raekwon McMillan now with the Dolphins we'll see Worley move inside to man the middle linebacker position. While McMillan was more of a downhill linebacker, Worley is your new age middle linebacker who uses his speed to run and make tackles. Being 240lbs helps as he's able to take on blocks and even run through some to attack the ball and make tackles. Worley is no slouch against the pass as he had plenty of experience covering tight ends in the Big 10 even shadowing Jake Butt around.
Two years ago we saw the New York Jets take Darron Lee with the 20th overall pick to fill their Deone Bucannon role as an undersized but ultra athletic linebacker. If you watched any Buckeyes game last year you had to see #17 flying around and always being around the ball. Baker stepped into Lee's weakside linebacker role last year and hit the ground running. While Baker is still a little raw he makes up for mistakes with his fluidity and explosiveness. A reported 4.37 40 yard dash only enhances the appeal to teams wanting to get faster at linebacker.
#tOSU CB Denzel Ward showing the ability to get a hand in and break up a pass #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/1TyVWbY9kF
— Brian Johannes (@Draft_Brian) July 28, 2017
In 2016 we saw the emergence of speedster cornerback Marshon Lattimore who in his first full season as a starter quickly emerged as the top corner in the 2017 NFL Draft going 11th overall to the Saints. With both Lattimore and Gareon Conley gone the Buckeyes look to reload at corner and could turn to their third cover from last year to be their new number one. Ward is similar to Lattimore in that he has good speed and can make quick twitch moves to stick with receivers in and out of breaks. What could hurt Ward is he is a little small at his listed 5'11 height. However he's not afraid to get physical and with fluid hips and ball skills it's hard to look past his talent.

Hungary's 2005 ESA95 general government deficit was 6.5% of GDP after adjustment for the pension reform and was 7.8% of GDP without adjustment, the Central Statistics Office (KSH) announced on Tuesday.
The adjusted deficit was revised 0.4 percentage points up from a preliminary figure announced by the Finance Ministry in the spring, and the unadjusted deficit was 0.2 percentage points up from preliminary. The pension-reform-adjusted general government deficit was revised up by close to Ft 100 billion to Ft 1,434 billion. Gross budget debt, calculated in conform to the Maastricht criteria, was Ft 12,714.2 billion at the end of 2005, or 57.7% of GDP after adjustment for the pension reform, the KSH report said citing calculations by the National Bank of Hungary. The figure was revised up by Ft 2 billion from the preliminary figure. Unadjusted budget debt was 61.6% of GDP. The Finance Ministry forecasts this year's general government deficit at 8.6% of GDP after adjustment and 10.1% before adjustment for the effects of the pension reform. The debt forecast for 2006 is 63.6% and 68.4%, respectively. Hungary's 6.5%-of-GDP deficit ratio was the largest among the 25 EU members in 2005, while its debt ratio was below the EU25 average of 63.2%, Eurostat general government statistics published on Tuesday show.
The debt of nine EU members surpassed the 60% Maastricht limit at the end of last year. In 2005 the government deficit of both the euro area and the EU25 fell compared to 2004, while the government debt increased. In the euro area the government deficit decreased from 2.8% of GDP in 2004 to 2.4% in 2005, and in the EU25 it fell from 2.7% to 2.3%. In the euro area the government debt to GDP ratio rose from 69.8% in 2004 to 70.8% in 2005, and in the EU25 rose from 62.4% to 63.2%. Eurostat noted that Denmark, Hungary, Poland and Sweden are at present benefiting from a transitional period of implementation of Eurostat's decision on classification of funded pension schemes, which has the effect of temporarily improving their deficit/surplus. From April 2007 the derogation will come to an end, however, and the defined contribution funded pension scheme in these four countries will have to be classified outside the government sector. Hungary has started using the unadjusted figures for better comparison since this summer. (Mti-Eco)

Some things you have to share.
Welcome to my Music Diary – today for the 16th September!
Riley B. King aka B.B. King (born 16th September 1925)
In 1925 Mr. Riley B. King aka B.B. ("Blues Boy") King was born in Itta Bena, Mississippi, USA. King is one of the most outstanding Blues musicians of all time. In 2011 the magzine Rolling Stone ranked him at number six on its year list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time". Eight years before B.B. King was ranked on the third position of this poll.
King's own description: "When I sing, I play in my mind; the minute I stop singing orally, I start to sing by playing my guitar Lucille."
Jon Brewer directed the documentary film "The Life of Riley" on the life of B.B. King which features the 88 years old "King of Blues" and othere legends like Bill Wyman

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire… Jack Frost nipping at your nose…"
Well, although I've never personally roasted anything other than hotdogs, marshmallows, or the occasional "s'more" on an open fire…there is something about this and other Christmas carols that paint the picture of a peaceful Christmas season and draw me into the illusion that by merely thinking about it, I too, can have the ideal holiday experience that the malls and shops are trying to sell us before we've even had time to take down our Halloween decorations!
As well intentioned as one may be to start early and plan ahead to avoid the rushing-around-last-minute kind of stress that is often associated with the Christmas season, many people find themselves experiencing holiday stress due to lack of time to fit it all in – the card writing, cookie baking, parties, concerts, get-togethers, fundraising, volunteering, shopping, wrapping, traveling…year after year, we try to pack so much activity into a few short weeks, then we wonder why we're stressed!
If you would like to experience a less-stressful December this year, try these easy to apply tips to reduce holiday stress and embrace the holiday season that is headed our way whether we're ready for it or not.
After taking care of your top priorities in the time you have, your next task is to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour. Getting it all done at the price of getting adequate rest and then being cranky with your loved ones defeats the purpose (see #1 – what is your ideal vision and how do you want to experience the holidays?) Hold that vision while you go about doing what you do, and you will, to quote Bing Crosby, "have yourself a merry little Christmas now." Season's Greetings… seize the holidays!

HANGU, Pakistan - A suicide bomber in a pickup truck detonated his explosives near several government offices in northwest Pakistan on Thursday, killing at least 26 people, in the latest violence to hit the country since the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden.More than 50 people, including six officers, were also injured in the blast near a building housing the local courts in the town, according to the Hangu administration officials.

5 Reasons Why Your Guests Love Wedding Transportation
5 Reasons Why Your Guests Love Wedding Transportation
Your wedding is going to be one of the happiest days of your life. It is also a glorious day for all the family members and friends you have invited to witness the occasion. Schedule wedding transportations, so guests from out of town can make it with ease.
- You Can Choose Luxury Vehicles
Having everyone rent their own car can be a challenge and can be stressful if they are trying to find something the day of. Renting ahead of time ensures your guests are not stuck with any old sedan. Many times limousines, SUVs and other high-quality vehicles can be rented for your big day.
- It Makes Them Feel Part of the Ceremony
Handling your guests' transportation needs is a great way to let them know that you were thinking of them. No one should feel left out. Friends and family alike will truly feel like you want them to be part of this special occasion.
- It Saves Them Cost
Guests flying in from out of town will need to spend a bit on hotel accommodations and various other expenditures. If you take care of the wedding transportations, then you save your loved ones a little bit of cash.
- It Eliminates Headaches on Their End
Aside from the financial costs, renting a car can just be stressful in general. This is especially true if you are trying to take care of it the day of the wedding. Taking care of it beforehand will ensure your guests are feeling joyful once they arrive.
- It Is Safe for After the Reception
Cocktails, champagne and other alcoholic beverages are standard for wedding receptions. Some guests might get a little too tipsy and be unable to drive. Having reliable transportation on-hand is safe and ensures no one drives drunk.
Everyone at your wedding will appreciate the thought and consideration you put into the wedding transportations. Although you will have a lot in terms of planning to take care of, this is a simple thing to do to make things easier on your guests.
Try King Limo For Your Wedding
There are several different options that you may consider for your limo service needs. However, not every provider offers the same level of service. As a local provider with a strong reputation for quality service, we would love to earn your business. Contact us today to see for yourself how we strive to exceed your expectations.

"Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" | The last Spider-Man movie you'll ever need to see
There's a dividing school of thought among a lot of Spider-Man fans. Those old enough to have lived through the Tobey Maguire version of the red-suited superhero will often argue that he is the best version. As the first superhero to make a modern appearance on the big screen, it is easy to argue for his supremacy. The original Spider-Man trilogy was fun and colorful, with characters that felt like they had stepped out of the comics and into the movie.
Tom Holland on the other hand (we're gonna pretend like Andrew Garfield never happened) represents Spider-Man's entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Much darker, more realistic and tenser than the older movies, Spider-Man: Homecoming saw toned down villains, and comic book influence restrained to fit into the tone of the MCU. Without nostalgia, and only one stand-alone movie to his name, its difficult to make a case for Tom Holland as the definitive Spider-Man, even if Stan Lee himself weighed in to give Holland his approval.
As it turns out, neither camp is correct here. Tobey will always be the first Spider-Man, and Tom may be the physically closest to what Stan Lee had imagined, but 2018 gave us what is definitively the best Spider-Man movie to have ever been made: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
As an animated film, it may perhaps have some advantages its real-life counterparts do not. The film is not restrained by casting concerns, digital effects or acting skill. Its ability to take those advantages and use them to their fullest extent treats us to a Spider-Man movie that can replace all others.
Miles Morales, a young boy living in New York City, is bitten by a spider in a pretty famous origin story. Soon enough he finds himself transforming into Spider-Man and trying to make sense of what is happening to him. This eventually leads him to find Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, building a giant Supercollider in order to try and rip a hole into other dimensions. Fisk succeeds (kind of), but instead of achieving his goal, he manages to reach out to other universes, pulling their respective versions of Spider-Man into the one inhabited by Fisk and Morales.
From there it's up to Miles, Peter Parker and various other versions of Spider-Men to stop Fisk, return to their original universes and save the city. A pretty boilerplate plot for a comic book movie, especially an animated one, but what makes this movie different is the cast.
Peter Parker is not the only Spider-Man to have existed, especially not in the comics. Ben Reilly, Mac Gargan, Mattie Franklin and Otto Octavius have all at some point taken on the mantle of Spider-Man, and those names are just in the main continuity of the Spider-Man comics. Branch out into the Alternate Universe storylines, and the list grows even further.
So while Peter Parker still dominates as the Spider-Man everybody knows and loves, a major movie featuring different versions of the hero is important. Miles Morales is a black/latino teenager. Gwen Stacy (Spider-Gwen) is a woman. Featuring characters like this in a major Spider-Man production not only offers viewers diversity and positive role models of color and gender, but it also helps push the narrative forward in interesting ways.
Beyond that, it acts as a small nod to Spider-Man fans around the world, offering them a look at some lesser known but still beloved characters they may not have ever thought would make it to cinemas.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a risk taken when Marvel had no reason to take one. Peter Parker is synonymous with the role and seeing someone else fill that role could have backfired. So far, though, the Miles Morales version has seen great success and fantastic critical reception, proving that there is life after a white male Spider-Man.
Tobey Maguire and Tom Holland fans can debate over which version is the best live-action interpretation of Spider-Man, but in the long term, neither one of them comes close to being the best. Neither series of Spider-Man movies can hold the title of the definitive version. Not anymore. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is by far the best Spider-Man movie to ever hit theatrical release, and the gap isn't even close.

Royal Caribbean's brand Azamara has repositioned itself again in the cruise market as "Azamara Club Cruises". Cruise industry followers may remember that when Celebrity and Royal Caribbean first acquired the previously Renaissance Cruise Line ships, they were to become small ships in the Celebrity fleet. Then at the last minute, they announced the creation of an entirely new cruise line. Perhaps the line had something of an identity crisis as a small casual premium cruise line. It wasn't quite a luxury line and wasn't Royal Caribbean or Celebrity.
I think the relaunch positions the cruise more properly in the market. A club cruise is much closer to an all inclusive luxury vacation than a traditional cruise. It is more like an upscale "Club Med" on a cruise ship than a traditional cruise. Here are some of the included features that Azamara will feature in the new luanch:
* Smaller ships.
* More overnights.
* Longer stays.
* Unique destinations.
* Immersive shore excursions.
* Complimentary shuttle bus in port when offered.
* Destination enrichment.
* Destination-flavored entertainment.
* All meals and room service.
* Specialty dining available (complimentary for suite guests).
* House wine with lunch and dinner.
* Housekeeping.
* Gratuities for housekeeping and dining staff.
* Coffee and bottled water throughout the day.
* Complimentary self-service laundry.
* Butler service included for suite guests.
The idea is that your cruise price is nearly all inclusive. The gratuities are now included in the cruise price. For those that don't require a particular bottle of wine, the house wine will be served with lunch and dinner. Also their alcohol policy now allows passengers to bring wine aboard with no limits and even bring bottles of liquor on board for in room consumption. If you want to bring your wine to the dining room the corkage fee will only be $10 rather than the $25 now charged on some lines. Though the shores excursions are listed as a feature, I don't believe that they are included in the cruise price. They are just specifying that they are more "immersive", which probably means that they will try to bring the passengers a more authentic and enriching experience. The complementary self service laundry should be a great benefit for those wishing to pack light on their trip and allow passengers to travel with less luggage. The overnight stays allow passengers to experience longer excursions and evening entertainment while in port.
I think the new moved will better position Azamara as a competitor with Regent and Oceania rather than simply "Small Ship Celebrity". For those of us who currently find the pricing at Regent or Oceania to be out of reach, unfortunately the pricing for Azamara has increased to comparative levels. I did a quick check of pricing on a 12 day Baltic cruise in June of 2010 and pricing ranges from around $4800 to $6000 per person. That is probably around 2 to 2 1/2 times what one would pay for Royal Caribbean or Celebrity for the more basic rooms, and closely in line for suites. Prices for a similar cruise on Celebrity start at around 2k and top off at around 5000 for a Celebrity suite. For those passengers who prefer and can afford to travel in a suite the new Azamara Club Cruise could be a good fit. The changes take affect with cruising starting in April 2010.
We invite our readers to let us know what they think about the relaunch and repositioning of the cruise line.

Offered here is an instrument which continues to be one of the most popular models PRS has released in quite a while, the McCarty 594. The 594 is named for it's unique string scale, 24.594", making the scale length of this model just under a 10th of an inch longer than the McCarty's typical 24.5". It's still a short scale, 22-fret design, but that tiny bit of added scale length generates a bit more clarity and brightness in the guitar's tone and is just one of the many little details that makes this model special.
Another key detail to this design are the electronics. The PRS 58/15 LT pickups are a lower wound humbuckers with a vintage output that again makes for a cleaner tone. PRS then added coil splitting, along with separate volume and tone controls for each pickup in order to provide nearly unlimited tone adjustment capabilities. Further, they put the three-way toggle in the upper bout of the guitar for purposes of player comfort.
The neck shape is called "Pattern Vintage." It's a chunky neck shape that is slightly asymmetrical with a little more mass on the bass side of the neck versus the treble side. This example has depth measurements of .875" at the first fret and .975" at the twelfth.
Finally, PRS gave the 594 their own version of the familiar Tune-O-Matic two-piece bridge and tail piece setup. This design allows for maximum adjustment of string height and intonation. This design, along with the very effective PRS locking tuners, makes for extremely easy string changes.
Play this guitar and you immediately feel comfortable with the design. It feels very LP-like, but with a precision and physical beauty of a high-end PRS guitar. The tone is lovely clean, but has fabulous character and bite when gain is added. You can move between thick humbucker tones and single-coil clarity at will. All the cool details PRS put into this design result in a guitar that is so much more than just the sum of the components. This guitar seems to be able to do it all.
This particular 594 has been given a "10-Top" and a gorgeous Faded Whale Blue finish. It has a total weight of just 8.5 pounds (8 pounds, 5 ounces) and is perfectly balanced.
This guitar is in "excellent minus" condition. Upon (seriously) close inspection you will find some tiny, pencil tip sized impressions here and there, but you will really have to look to find them and I was unable to get any decent shots of these flaws. Otherwise, this guitar is in great shape and the frets show little to no wear. It comes in it's original PRS tolex case in similarly nice condition, along with the original hang tag, tools and all the other paperwork included when new.
A new example would cost you $4,500. Get this lightly played 10-Top beauty for significantly less and well below average market price for this model. Very nice indeed!

The Sin Bin's Kelly Cup playoff coverage is presented by Kalwei Law Firm
So much for low scoring, tight checking playoff hockey.
For the second game in a row the final score between Allen and Rapid City was 7-4. The winner last night was Rapid City as the 2662 fans that braved a big snow storm saw the Rush stave off elimination by scoring seven goals on just twenty shots. By midway through the second period the Rush were leading 4-0 and the Americans were desperate to get on the scoreboard.
So desperate, Martinson used a play seldom seen in a hockey game. Allen had a five on three power play opportunity starting at 10:20 of the second period. Martinson chose to pull goalie Joel Rumpel to make it a six on three power play. The tactic worked as Vincent Arseneau tipped in a Chad Costello shot. With the score 4-1 Allen had another power play at the end of the second period to try and cut into the Rush lead but instead gave up a shorthanded goal.
Even trailing 5-1 after two periods, Allen fans knew the Americans have been dominate in the third period. When Allen scored three goals in the first eight minutes of the third period to make the score 5-4 it looked like the comeback was on. It was not to happen on this night as the Rush scored at 15:15 and added an empty net goal to make the final 7-4. It was a poorly played game by the Americans but they never gave up, fought to the end, came back from a 5-1 deficit but could not get the game tying goal.
Allen leads the series 3-2 and returns home for game six on Tuesday and game seven (if necessary) on Wednesday.
The goals scorers for Allen were Arseneau (3), Costello (4), Schaafsma (2), and Crane (3). The line up changes in the game were Joel Rumpel in goal and Dyson Stevenson, who replaced Patrik Valcak.
– We had numerous opportunities to score in the first period but just could not finish.
– We kept repeating what has been happening way too much in this series. We turn the puck over when we have full control which leads to odd man rushes that we defend poorly. You have heard me say many times when goals are scored there are usually multiple mistakes made on the play and that is what happened tonight.
– We give up cross ice passes that you are taught since you are a kid to take away. It is just weak play on our part.
– We have really let both of our goalies down with poor defensive play by the forwards and defensemen. At this point in the season your best players have to be your best players and that isn't happening.
– The shorthanded goal we gave up at the end of the second period was crucial. I knew it would be tough to overcome when they got the 5-1 lead.
– Their power play goal was also frustrating because our defenseman had his stick clearly slashed out of his hand and could not defend on the play.
– On our five on three power play in the second period we really needed a goal as we were trailing 4-0 so I decided to pull the goalie and make it a 6-3 power play. I have used that play a few times in situations like we had tonight. It usually works but you like to score early before the fourth man comes out of the penalty box. Six on three makes it very difficult for the penalty killers to retrieve pucks because they are so out manned and out positioned.
– I could go on but won't. We are still up 3-2 in the series and everything is in our control. We will get it figured out and be ready to go on Tuesday.
– Allen finally got a power play goal on the road even though it took a six on three with the goalie pulled to get the job done. The Americans road power play is now 1-19 or 5.3%. The good news is the next game is at home where the power play as been scoring at a 32.3% clip.
– Rapid City has scored the first goal of the game in four of the five games played in this series. The only game Allen scored first was the 8-1 win at home in game two.
– Another trend that needs to change is waiting until the third period to get going. Allen has been outscored by Rapid City in the first period (4-3) and the second period (8-7) but has outscored the Rush in the third period 15-5.
In the only other playoff action last night Fort Wayne beat Toledo 3-2 in double overtime to even the series 3-3. The home team has won all six games so the home ice advantage Toledo won by having the best record in the ECHL may prove to be the difference in the series. All three Fort Wayne wins have been in overtime. Game seven will be in Toledo on Wednesday.
The only playoff action tonight is South Carolina at Florida. Florida has gotten back in the series with two overtime wins in South Carolina after trailing in the series 3-0. If Florida wins tonight, game seven will be Tuesday night in Florida.
Only one (Ontario) of the final four playoff teams have been decided but what is guaranteed is the final four teams will all be #1 or #2 seeds.
Congratulations to Allen Americans Ice Angels Rose and Stephanie who have made it to the next step in the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders (DCC) tryouts. They have made it to DCC training camp. They will go through a rigorous training program as the group will be cut down from the 46 in training camp to a final squad of 32-36. It is quite an honor to make it to training camp and best of luck to Rose and Stephanie the rest of the way.
DID YOU KNOW: The most famous game in Allen Americans history took place two years ago today on May 11, 2013. It was game seven (in Allen) of the CHL finals and Allen was trailing Wichita 2-0 in the third period when Jarret Lukin scored at 7:13 and Trevor Hendrikx at 17:41 to tie the score and send it to overtime.
Just 2:47 into the overtime Todd Robinson took a long stretch pass from Mike Montgomery and blasted a slap shot from the right face off circle past Wichita goalie Torrie Jung to send the place into pandemonium. It was a magical end to a magical season. To win the first Presidents' Cup in team history at home in game seven in sudden death overtime is as good as it gets. Whether you have never seen this highlight video or seen it a 100 times it is always special, especially the ending!

text: Money is a valuable source which is indispensable for everyone. Since it helps us to lead a life without any hassles we should try saving it. We should follow the line of the ant and be wise and not be foolish like the cricket. Money can be saved in many ways. To list a few: car insurance, bank savings, clip coupons, investments in moveable and immovable property, etc. Insurance policies help us to save money as well as help us to cut down our income tax. The premium amounts are varied and meager and don't pinch our pockets. As it covers our accidents risks and also our health problems our money is save in our hands. Saving our money in banks has always been the best way to save money. Insurance on vehicles, especially, cars always help us to replace parts damaged during accidents. A small percentage of income deposited in our account always help us in times of need. As the proverb goes 'Little drops of water make a mighty ocean', hence little amounts of money saved can increase to a greater amount and that is why bank savings are always preferable. A word of caution to those who desire a greater interest rate, please don't invest in benefit funds which offer large amount of interest rates. Clip coupons help to save money during a shopping spree. We can purchase things at a lower rate. We can also buy things we need, when there is a genuine rebate offered in shops, we can buy them at the whole sale retailers and save some money there too. But it's always wise to remember that not all rebate offers are genuine. The best form of investment has always been buying lands and jewels. At present, with land and gold prices soaring high it's a good idea to invest in them. But too much of gold can attract burglars, like bees, to your house so "Beware!". Other than these secure ways of saving we have other less secure ways like investing in shares which is not always safe, lending money for interest, winning lottery tickets and of course gambling! We do have numerous ways to save money but choosing what is the best way lies with your intelligence and common sense. Source: http://www.everythingfinanceblog.com

Tusen Ar Under Jord – Sandhavens Genklang LP Verlautbarung 2017
Although I was previously aware of this mysterious Swedish project, I have not had an opportunity to hear them until now, which was basically due to not being able to track down a copy of their limited debut tape.
Given the debut tape Sorgsendömet Fobos from 2013 was described as one which "transcends the border lines between drone, ambient and dark echoes of the past", this follow up LP is noted to be a different beast altogether. Sonically speaking Sandhavens Genklang is rooted in a 'exotic' middle eastern sound, where it would appear this album is constructed from sampling and looping fragments of old and forgotten records which were otherwise reconciled to the dustbin of history. In resurrecting fragments of those sampled records, the music is mostly framed around prominent elements of hypnotic tabla percussion, melodious woodwinds, bowed traditional string instruments, wailing horns and tribal chimes, which generates an atmosphere of a dusty and bustling market place in some unnamed city in ancient times. The sampling of old records also means the finished recording contains prominent 'artifacts' of hiss, pop and crackle which adds to the sonic allure and general sense of sonic mystery and sets the tone far form being modern digitally produced recording. On the visual front, the cover also exudes an exotic flavour, with the project name and title printed on a piece of cloth affixed to the cover, along with a postcard featuring a drawing of the pyramids of Giza and what may just be a UFO hovering above.
Essentially the strength of this release is it completely transcends any genre confines and thereby completely skews associated expectations to reside in its own musical sphere. Although being a highly atmospheric recording, equally it is not overtly 'dark' in mood, but does contain a quite uniquely exotic vibe and aura which will appeal to the sonically curious who are looking for something divergent from the usual underground ilk.

Aldermen reject 'weapons-free zone' proposal for Shelton
The Shelton Board of Aldermen voted 7-1 on Thursday night against adopting a "weapons-free zone" ordinance that would have banned guns and other weapons from city buildings, schools, parks and open space areas.
Alderman Jack Finn, who proposed the ordinance, was the only board member to vote in favor of it. Finn is the sole Democrat on the Republican-controlled local legislative body.
Opponents on the board said a local law would infringe upon people's Second Amendment rights and not prevent mass killings such as the recent incidents at Sandy Hook Elementary School and an Aurora, Colo. movie theater.
They said the focus should be more on addressing mental health issues and toning done violence in video games and films.
Finn's proposed ordinance would have prohibited weapons — from guns to crossbows — on city-owned property in Shelton. Law enforcement officials and properly certified security guards would have been exempt from the ban.
Don't take away 'my rights'
"It infuriates me to think that someone wants to take away my rights as a public citizen," said aldermanic President John F. Anglace Jr.
Anglace said the problems aren't just caused by guns, knives, motor vehicles or other things that can be used to hurt a lot of people at once. "It encompasses a lot of things that need to be addressed," he said, pointing to a lack of adequate mental health services and to the way popular culture can glorify violence.
Like Anglace, Alderman Anthony F. Simonetti emphasized that the vast majority of residents to speak at a recent public hearing on the proposal were strongly against it.
"The Constitution stands for something," said Simonetti, who warned against any effort that would "start to dilute or water down" the U.S. Constitution.
He said when leaders such as Adolf Hitler in Germany and Benito Mussolini in Italy took guns away from their people, the situation got much worse. "We know what happened there," he said.
In the United States, Simonetti said the decision to shut down many psychiatric hospitals and mental health clinics has led to problems.
He said the kind of laws now being proposed or passed to restrict people's gun rights wouldn't have stopped the dozens of mass killings that have taken place during the past decade.
Finn: Other towns have limits
Finn said at least eight Connecticut municipalities have local laws similar to his idea, and additional towns are considering passage of new gun-related laws.
He said nothing in his proposal would prevent someone from purchasing or owning a gun, and that limits on where people can bring firearms already exist as a way to improve public safety and security.
"When is the last time you were on an airplane? Attended a major sporting event? Entered a federal or state building? Visited a hospital?" asked Finn, noting many employers also restrict the ability of workers to carry guns on the job.
Finn said enacting limits on guns can be an emotional issue, and some of his detractors' claims about what his proposal would do have been misleading. He took exception to comments that the ordinance would hurt the freedoms defended by people in the military, noting he had served in Vietnam.
Don't rush through legislation
Alderman Eric McPherson said whenever there is "a rush" by the federal and state governments to pass laws, such with guns in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook tragedy, the result is not good legislation.
McPherson did say he thought some people at the public hearing in late April — he was referring to certain gun-rights advocates — had treated Finn in a "condescending" manner. "I don't think any of us deserve that," he said, emphasizing the need to respect differing viewpoints.
Alderman Staney Kudej said people are too quick to blame gun owners after tragedies such as Sandy Hook, when they should instead focus on the damage being done by violent video games and movies.
"No one points the finger at the movie industry," he said.
Kudej said licensed and properly-trained gun owners are not the perpetrators in the tragic incidents.
More public input at meeting
Before the vote, three residents said they oppose the proposed ordinance during the public speaking session of the meeting.
Christopher Calkins said people who walk on city-owned trails such as the recreation path can find themselves in isolated locations that cannot be reached quickly by police.
"If I'm in the middle of that path and I'm attacked, I want to be able to defend myself," said Calkins, adding that wild animals also can be a concern.
If his ability to have weapons in such areas is taken away, "I don't think I'll use it. I don't think we'll be safe there."
Fred Suhy said people have the right to carry a gun based on the Second Amendment at the federal level, and by getting the appropriate pistol permit at the state level.
"What gives you the right to override the state and federal government?" he asked the Shelton aldermen.

I quickly found lots of information on her family, including this interesting name, Jane Curgenven, who was Elizabeth Nicholls mother.Well that certainly looked like a Cornish name, and an easy one to trace, owing to it's unusual-ness. I googled the name to see what I could discover, and found an interesting webpage done by a dedicated researcher of the surname.
His conclusion -- it was a made up name! The original name was Lean! Jane's father was John Curgenven, and his father was John Lean.
Here's his info:
The very Cornish sounding name CURGENVEN appears to have been an invention by the Reverend Thomas LEAN (born 1644 in Lelant, Cornwall - died 1712 at Folke, Dorset), Educated at Exeter College, Oxford, in 1680 Married Dorothy PITT (of the family that produced the two William PITTS ). Headmaster of Sherborne school Dorset (1683 - 1695) and then Rector of the nearby Parish of Folke.
It can only be speculation as to why he changed his name, perhaps he thought LEAN too common a name for his position, but why CURGENVEN? there is no prior record of this name. His brother William had married a Rachel RICHARD whose family had earlier used the alias VENVYN but why would that be a reason to change your own name?
Rev Thomas and Dorothy had no issue, so how did the name created by him propagate? His brother William died in 1689 and William's widow Rachel died in 1692 leaving their children orphaned, William and Rachel's sons John, Thomas and Peter were looked after (no record of adoption found ) by the Rev Thomas ( their names changing to CURGENVEN ) and were found positions with the East India Company ( Rev Thomas's brother-in-law was Thomas 'Diamond' PITT, Governor of Madras. ) William and Rachel's fourth son Richard also took up the alias CURGENVEN as did the family of the Rev Thomas's other brother John.

Week 20 on Nutrisystem #NSNation
It's much more challenging than I had thought to survive the holidays while on Nutrisystem. My husband keeps buying these Christmas tree-shaped sugar cookies and other tasty treats and has put them in plain sight of me! For the most part, I am able to resist, but every now and again I just have to eat one.
It used to be that I could never stop at just one treat, but I am finding that after I eat one, I will actually stop, which is a very good thing. As a result of eating treats more often than I normally do, I have not been able to lose any more weight. I've been craving a lot more sugary things lately, and cannot resist ordering soda when I go out to eat.
My weight for the 20th week is still at 138.4 lbs. I am very glad to see that I have not gained more because of making bad choices, but frustrating too that I am ultimately keeping myself from meeting my goals.
My measurements for this week were:
- Upper Arms: 11
- Chest: 36
- Waist: 31
- Hips: 37
- Thighs: 20
Take control of your life and learn how to lose weight while eating healthy on Nutrisystem. All it takes is one phone call to 1-888-853-4689 or a quick visit to their website.
*Nutrisystem is providing me with free food and support service as part of the Nutrisystem Nation Blogger program. In exchange, I will be posting each week with my progress. All thoughts expressed are my own, and my experience using the system may vary from that of other participants.*
