SOUTH AMERICA – COLOMBIA SUPREMO – categorized as – Social Coffee
Colombia Supremo 17/18 is sourced from small to medium sized family-owned farms located within the city of Pereira in the department of Risaralda, Colombia. Coffee is cultivated on farms that average 2.5 hectares in size. Producers pick and process coffee at their own micro-wet mills and then dry their own coffee, typically on elevated tables inside solar dryers that provide protection from the nearly continuous rainy season.
FRESH ROASTED COFFEE – Why is our artisan-crafted, gourmet coffee so much better?
- Specialty Grade Beans * superior quality, premium high-end coffee beans.
- It's Gourmet Coffee * carefully hand crafted, small-batch roasted, artisan style.
- Super Fresh * we only roast-to-order, we never pre-roast to stock as most roasters do.
- Roast Profiles * expertly developed profiles bring maximum sweetness/flavor to the cup.
- Choose Your Roast * choose from Light Roast to Italian Roast in 6 custom roast levels.
- Superior Cup * experience all the rich delicious flavor nuances this coffee has to offer.
PERSONALIZE YOUR ROAST – guide to choosing your roast level – Light to Italian Roast
- 362*F Light Roast * Our lightest roast is pulled towards end of first crack. Features full body, with an awesomely rich light roast taste. (especially good for African and most Central American beans)
- 372*F Blonde Roast * For a more developed roast, choose this Light/Medium Blonde, as it is a little sweeter, with a little less body. (a smoother & more clean tasting cup)
- 382*F Medium Roast * This Roast is pulled just past midway between first and second crack. Easily our sweetest roast level for most beans, and the delicate bean nuances are reaching their peak flavor. (especially for African and most Central American coffees)
- 392*F Medium/Dark Roast * Choose this roast for a more robust version of the 382/Medium, the delicate bean nuances are at their peak, this roast is pulled just before second crack, and just prior to entering the dark roast realm. (this is the sweetest roast level for Colombia, Guatemala, and all India & Indonesian beans.)
- 402*F Dark Roast * Robustly rich tasting, yet still nicely sweet, the delicate bean nuances are still mostly present, but the stronger bean notes are more assertively pronounced. (recommended choice for Guatemala & most Indonesian beans)
- 412*F Italian Roast * Intensely robust, and not for the faint of heart. Beans are dark and oily, delicate bean nuances have given way to intense dark roast taste. This is that bold & intense dark roast taste that has become so popular today.
ROAST PROFILES – Please keep in mind that we roast to temperature. And while each of our 6 custom roast levels has its own highly specialized roast-curve profile, ultimately reaching a specific temperature level, at a very specific time throughout the entire roast, it is of course expected that beans from different origins will respond differently to a set temperature profile, and certain beans will vary in appearance, and internal core development from our general roast level descriptions that aptly describe most beans.
RECOMMENDED ROAST – To help you understand how each bean origin and/or blend is responding during a roast, please consider our popular roast level that is listed along with each origin/blend description. This will help you to understand if any particular bean origin, or blend will respond better to lighter roast levels, or to darker roast levels for peak flavor, and with this in mind, you can more easily choose your desired roast level.
YOUR STYLE – One thing for sure with 6 custom roast levels you are sure to find a taste that you will like best! This is super cool for discovering all those wonderful flavor variations that every bean has to offer, and the so many variances of flavor nuances that are present at each different roast level.
EXHILARATING – Old boring coffee ruts are now out the window! Your new personalized style is in…. the possibilities are endless… the unique tastes that you like in your coffee are now completely up to you!
ORDER TODAY/ ROASTED TODAY – Our Colombia Supremo is gourmet roasted just for you – most orders are roasted and shipped within 24 hours – Monday-Friday (excluding holidays). We never pre-roast to stock as most roasters do. Your order will be custom roasted – it will arrive quickly – super fresh, and just the way you like it.
FRESH ROASTED COFFEE – It's your coffee… it's your roast…. coffee roasted your way!
LOG CABIN BLEND – try the combo – Log Cabin/Colombia Supremo
- TASTE NOTES: dark chocolate, mild cherry, strawberry
- 3 – Region Trio Blend
- Central America * Ethiopia * South America
- A great full cup like it came from a cast iron pot over the open wood fire.
LOG CABIN BLEND is a 3-region trio. A great cup of coffee comprised of some of the most favorite origins and creates a rich cup like it came from a cast iron pot over the open wood fire.
You want the best cup of coffee and so do we. That's why we carefully select only top-quality coffee beans with excellent high ratings at the cupping table. Rest assured our coffee beans will produce an extraordinarily great cup of coffee for you. Because quality begins at the farm, we enthusiastically encourage biodiversity, and sustainable farming practices. We buy from farmers and partners who embrace our high ideals, and who treat workers well and pay fairly. We've found that those who are committed to these goals, grow coffees with the finest taste and highest quality.

Willpeir brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 128 Designs von 46 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We're a loan fulfillment company that is looking to become more web-centric. We handle all the complicated, technical aspects of both loan funding and delivery. We've been around for a while, but we need a fresh logo that says both that we know what we're doing and we're sophisiticated and professional, but also that we're tech and web friendly and always have an eye looking towards the future!
P&P Services, INC.
We handle all off the processes that lenders need but can't afford to have for an in-house staff. We review the documents, perform all necessary audits, and make the most compliant, Investor-friendly loans possible, but we don't stop there! We also handle all Post-closing stipulations and Investor Delivery concerns. We're basically the sausage makers of the mortgage industry: We handle all the parts that are absolutely necessary, but no one wants to know the details.
We're in the process of redesigning our website, but our current address is http://www.fulfillmentservicesonline.com If you visit it, note how we offer tons of information and tons of different options to help with loan fulfillment. That'll give you an idea of just how many things we do for our customers.
We need a logo that says corporate and established but also web-based. Something that combines our lawyer and complainance roots with a more modern, we'll-get-it-done feel. Go crazy! I provide lots of commentary, so I'll make sure to tell you if you're on the right track.
- Capital Letters for "P&P," please!
- INC. MUST be used in the logo.
- Prefered color is Green, but don't let that limit you!
- Sophisticated
- Modern
- Web-friendly
- Law-based
- Complaince-based
- Missing INC. (It's part of the name)
- Fantasy elements (Don't care if you think everything needs angel wings)
- Deliberately crude or funky (We're a lawyer-inspired company, people!)
- Five Minute designs (You know who you are. I have an elimnation button, and I'm not afraid to use it!)

BenQ just announced their first 120Hz 3D-capable LCD gaming monitor that uses LED backlight and is compatible with Nvidia's 3D Vision active shutter glasses for use in stereoscopic 3D mode. The 23.6-inch monitor is with a Full HD resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio and 2ms GTG (Grey-to-Grey) response time, meaning that OverDrive technology is being used to achieve the faster pixel response as with all other 3D-capable monitors (TN panel again of course). BenQ is also claiming a Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 10,000,000:1 which is pretty extreme although being announced as dynamic, unfortunately they do not yet disclose the true contrast ratio, which is something that I suppose you are more interested in. I guess that we are going to have to wait a bit more before the full specifications of the display become available, but if you were waiting for the LED backlit solution from ViewSonic that is already getting some delays, then you might consider the model provided by BenQ that is expected to be available beginning of October in Europe, and worldwide thereafter.
BenQ XL2410T Monistor Specifications
Display size: 60 cm (23.6″) Wide, 16:9 Full HD, LED backlight
Resolution: 1920×1080 @ 120Hz
Panel Technology: TN (Twisted Nematic)
Response time: 2 ms (GtG)
Brightness: 300 cd/m2
Contrast ratio: 10 million to 1 (Dynamic)
Colors: 16.7M (6 bit + HiFRC)
Pixel pitch: 0.272 mm
Viewing angle CR 10:1: 170°/160°
Connections: Analog (D-sub), Digital (DVI-D DL), HDMI 1.3, Internal Power Supply
Power consumption: 22W in Eco mode, less than 0.5W in standby
The monitor also features Picture by Picture (PBP) mode, a feature that enables users to show two programs side-by-side on the screen. It offers D-sub, Dual-Link DVI-D and HDMI 1.3 ports, although for use in 120Hz and stereo 3D mode you'll have to stick to the Dual-Link DVI-D interface.
It is interesting to note that BenQ has partnered with ZOWIE, a professional gaming gear manufacturer and more specifically with ZOWIE's gamer teams join in during the product development and testing stages. With their assistance, the BenQ XL2410T apparently has been designed to offer the best experience for gamers, especially the FPS (First Person Shooter) game players like for example the ones keen on titles like the widely popular Counter Strike that want to have no input lag and great performance.

Pak's has segmented this section with a massive range of straight African American human hair extensions that have been processed to make their own hair straight. These relaxed Afro Caribbean hair are probably the most popular hair extensions for people of colour as the texture is of their own hair but are chemically relaxed human hair. Leading brands in this category are Outre, Sleek, Sensual Collection, Janet Collection, and Shake-N-Go. Sleek presented their most elegant Style Icon Remy Yaky Weaving which is the remi hair. The Velvety Yaki Real Hair by Sleek are known for their glossy straight finish with great body. Another velvet yaki weaving provided by Outre has established its significance for its soft and silky yaki texture. This Moroccan remi yaki hair by Janet Collection is the virgin remi human hair extension with special oil treatment for sleek shine. Shake-N-Go made their yaki real hair in both remi and non-remi qualities, yet both are 100% human hair. The Saga Yaki Weaving by Shake-N-Go is the non-remi yaki weave whereas the Saga Gold Remi Yaki Weaving is purely remi hair. This virgin cuticle yaki weaving by Sensual Collection is tangle free yaki hair for weaving.

Enjoy the day out exploring coastal beauty of South Coast NSW in comfortable stable "Bears of the Sea".
These day tours are scheduled to explore different sections of the South Coast of NSW so you can visit again and again and check a new section of coast!! Tours run between Bawley Point and Narooma on the South Coast of NSW, the scheduled location may change due to wind or swell, please be aware your exact meeting location will come from your trip leader by phone the evening prior.
Given you will be expected to be able to paddle for a few hours prior to landing on beaches, its a great idea to have some prior sea kayak experience, (keep this in mind if your considering booking your kids in!)
The morning of your tour you will meet the guide team and your travel companions.
Our team will issue equipment, pack your essentials and train you on the use of the Sea Kayaks.
Your journey will take you along the shoreline of the Eurobodalla, where spotted gum forest falls steeply to the ocean.
Spotting wildlife is always a highlight, whales are common in Winter and Spring and dolphins, sea birds, seals and more are possible all year.
Sea kayaking really opens up the otherwise remote and inaccessible beches, islands, rock platforms and coves, you will discover wonderful places to stop in a sea kayak en route. We can choose any number of locations to land for a lunch break, a swim, a walk or a relax on shore.
Your kayak is relatively large and capable of fitting lots of equipment, with this in mind its a great idea to bring towels, warmer clothing, swimmers, hats, sun cream a camera, but you can leave the catering up to us!!
Given we check weather forecasts the night prior, we often use the tail breeze to get to our final destination.
On arrival at the end location, transfer back to your vehicles will follow.
The exact meeting point for your day will be confirmed 2 days prior chosen using the wind and swell to aid our journey. On these day tours the group either travels North to South from departure points to maximize the possible advantage from any breeze on the day.
We use stable Expedition style Sea Kayaks for these tours, and the tour is recommended for moderately fit outdoor lovers.
Although timing will vary depending on group, weather, chosen route, The Day tours are approximately 8am to 3pm.

text: Young Physician Leaders (YPL) Effective healthcare institutions need effective leaders.The issue of developing leadership qualities among health professionals, however, is often neglected, with many young professions having to learn their leadership skills almost by trial and error as they are handed positions of responsibility. Although incorporating leadership training programmes into the medical curriculum is lately gaining in importance, in practice too few countries are actually providing such training (See, for example: Health Professionals for a new century: transforming education to strengthen health systems in an interdependent world).

|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p

Another "issue" with the game is its difficulty, though I use the word issue lightly. The puzzles in the game are not always obvious, and the game doesn't really hold your hand. Yes, at times The Cave itself, acting as the narrator, will give you a hint or two, but even then a lot of the puzzles are real brain-benders. More than once I was forced to put the game down and take a break to regain my mental stamina. I'm also guilty of having to consult a FAQ more than once. In a way, The Cave treats its players the way old school puzzle games did, in a very hands-off manner. It expects you to come up with the solutions to its puzzles all on your own, so expect to get stuck repeatedly, maybe even as early as the first few levels!
The game has a quirky story, reminiscent of Double Fine games of the past, though there isn't a whole lot of plot here. You'll play through multiple puzzles at a time before the narrator comes back, and the characters don't really talk at all. The back stories of the characters are mostly told through the puzzles you complete and the scenarios you are put in, but even then the game barely flirts with narrative. It's very unlike Double Fine or Ron Gilbert's other works, which are absolutely saturated with story. On the contrary, The Cave seems to be primarily about the gameplay.
Finally, as I said before, this is a puzzle platformer, which means there is platforming involved. Unfortunately, the jumping controls aren't the best. Characters control loosely and their jumps are very floaty. In addition, they latch on to ledges as soon as they come anywhere near them—likely intended as an assistance mechanic—but to me this just feels awkward. You'll struggle against the controls a lot in this game, and while you'll eventually get used to it, it can be frustrating when you are trying to figure out whichever puzzle has just been put before you.
Despite its flaws, The Cave is a unique experience that explores a genre that few other games on the market dare to touch. Its cartoony atmosphere and characters mesh perfectly with the somewhat dark humor of the admittedly sparse story. The ability to choose completely different characters with completely different abilities for each playthrough compels you to play multiple times, regardless of the frustrating difficulty. The "Aha!" feeling you get when solving a puzzle easily offsets any amount of frustration you feel in the platforming itself.
Overall, The Cave is a great example of its genre and a good game in its own right. I highly recommend it for any fans of 2D games, puzzles games, or adventure games, or anyone simply looking to have another Double Fine laugh.

Drake was slated to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone this week, until the editors made the totally understandable decision to bump him in favor of the recently deceased actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. Drake, however, did not seem to find this decision very agreeable, and took to Twitter to vent his frustrations.
In two other since deleted tweets, Drake wrote, "I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone. They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue." And then: "I'm disgusted with that. RIP to Philip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil."
Well as long as you're paying your respects, Aubrey! This entire thing is very respectful, and I'm sure Philip Seymour Hoffman is up there somewhere smiling down and thinking, "My my, that Drake was so eloquent in the beautiful tribute he wrote to me on Twitter. Gold star!"
Regarding the Kanye thing, according to RS, Drake said, "There were some real questionable bars on there. Like that 'Swaghili' line? Come on, man. Even Fabolous wouldn't say some shit like that."
Sounds like Drake is just mad Yeezus topped a bunch of year-end lists when Nothing Was the Same didn't, and he's afraid to see Kanye go on a Twitter rant about him. At least he doesn't need to worry about that press anymore, though — no one's going to want to put him on another magazine cover for a while.

Paulo Coelho
Paulo Coelho de Souza (IPA: [ˈpau̯lu ˈko̯eʎu]) (born 24 August 1947) is a Brazilian poet and writer.
- When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.
- Brida (1990).
- The wise are wise only because they love.
- As quoted in Elders on Love: Dialogues on the Consciousness, Cultivation, and Expression of Love (1999) by Kenneth R. Lakritz and Thomas M. Knoblauch.
- Unsourced variant: The wise are wise only because they love. The fools are fools only because they think they can understand love.
- When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.
- The Devil and Miss Prym [O Demônio e a srta Prym] (2000), p. x; this has also been misquoted as "A moment is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny."
- Terror, terror, terror. Life was a reign o terror in the shadow of the guillotine.
- The Devil and Miss Prym [O Demônio e a srta Prym] (2000), p. 86.
- The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people's opinions.
- As quoted in Quotes That Help You Survive (2006) by Harpreet Kaur Kapoor.
- There is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.
- As quoted in Honor Your Gifts (2007) by Dona M. Deane, p. 199.
- You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.
- As quoted in Publishing Tips : Weekly Strategies for the Independent Writer (2008) by Linda A. Lavid, p. 57.
- A disciple asked Hejasi:
- I want to know what is the most funny thing about human beings.
Hejasi said:
- That they always think crooked: they're in a hurry to grow, then lament their lost childhood, and soon lose the money they need to keep their health.
"They are so anxious about the future, that they neglect the present, and thus live in neither the present nor the future."
"They live as if they were never going to die, and die as if they had never lived."
- As an author, I should be defending 'intellectual property', but I'm not. Pirates of the world, unite and pirate everything I've ever written!

The Alchemist (1988)Edit
- O Alquimista [Page numbers provided may vary slightly among different editions] ISBN 0-06-112241-6
- We warriors of light must be prepared to have patience in difficult times and to know the Universe is conspiring in our favor, even though we may not understand how.
- Introduction, p. xi.
- I ask myself: are defeats necessary?
Well, necessary or not, they happen. When we first begin fighting for a dream, we have no experience and make mistakes. The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.
- Introduction, p. xi.
- If you come here, you will find a hidden treasure.
- The child in the shepherd's dream, p. 14.
- I told you that your dream was a difficult one. It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them.
- This has sometimes been paraphrased: "The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them."
- p. 15.
- At a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie.
- p. 18.
- There is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe.... The soul of the world is nourished by people's happiness.
- The Old King, p. 22.
- E quando você quer alguma coisa, todo o Universo conspira para que você realize seu desejo.
- When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
- p. 22; a variant of this has become attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen" — but no occurrence of this a statement has been located prior to in The Gift of Depression : Twenty-one Inspirational Stories Sharing Experience, Strength, and Hope (2001) by John F. Brown, p. 56
- At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny.
- p. 22.
- Life attracts life.
- The alchemist uses this expression at p. 23, but it is one that does not originate with Coelho, though his work has popularized it.
- As he mused about these things, he realised that he had to choose between thinking of himself as the poor victim of a thief and as an adventurer in quest of his treasure.
- p. 44.
- He had worked for an entire year to make a dream come true, and that dream, minute by minute, was becoming less important. Maybe cause that wasn't really his dream.
- p. 65.
- We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.
- p. 93
- If I am really a part of your dream, you'll come back one day.
- Fatima, p. 101; has also been quoted in slight variant: "If I am really part of your dream, you will come back one day."
- "If good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise," said the seer. "If bad things are, and you know in advance, you will suffer greatly before they even occur."
- p. 102.
- The desert takes our dreams away from us, and they don't always return. We know that, and we are used to it. Those who don't return become a part of the clouds, a part of the animals that hide in the ravines and of the water that comes from the earth. They become part of everything... They become the Soul of the World.
- Fatima, p. 102.
- One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
- p. 128
- Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.
- p. 130
- Don't think about what you've left behind, the alchemist said to the boy as they began to ride across the sands of the desert. "Everything is written in the Soul of the World, and there it will stay forever."
- p. 130.
- If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. If what you had found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return.
- p. 130.
- There is only one way to learn … It's through action.
- p. 131.
- It is said that the darkest hour of the night comes just before the dawn.
- p. 132.
- There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.
- The alchemist, p. 141.
- The wise men understood that this natural world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom. That's what I mean by action.
- p. 151.
- Wherever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure.
- p. 128
- Compare to the Bible, Luke 12:34 (For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.)(NIV translation).
- It's true that everything has its Personal Legend, but one day that Personal Legend will be realized. So each thing has to transform itself into something better, and to acquire a new Personal Legend, until, someday, the Soul of the World becomes one thing only.
- p. 156.
- Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World. … It is we who nourish the Soul of the World, and the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that's where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.
- p. 157.
- No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it.
- p. 158.
- Your money saved us for three days. It's not often that money saves a person's life.
- p. 167
- Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.
- p. 184; this also has been quoted as "What happens once will never happen again. But what happens twice will surely happen a third time."
The Valkyries (1992)Edit
- As Valkírias
- The parents always insisted on telling their child that their secret friends didn't exist — perhaps because they had forgotten that they too had spoken to their angel at one time. Or, who knows, perhaps they thought they lived in a world where there was no longer any place for angels. Disenchanted, the angels had returned to God's side, knowing that they could no longer impose their presence.
- p.132.
- Perhaps they needn't even believe — it was enough that they needed angels, and the angels would return gladly.
- p. 133.
By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept (1994)Edit
- Na margem do rio Piedra eu sentei e chorei
- We must never forget that spiritual experience is above all a practical experience of love. And with love, there are no rules.
- As translated by Alan R. Clarke (1996).
- The gods throw the dice, and they don't ask whether we want to be in the game or not. They don't care if when you go, you leave behind a lover, a home, a career, or a dream. The gods don't care whether you have it all, whether it seems that your every desire can be met through hard work and persistence. The gods don't want to know about your plans and your hopes. Somewhere they're throwing the dice — and you are chosen. From then on, winning or losing is only a question of luck.
The gods throw the dice, freeing love from its cage. And love can create or destroy — depending on the direction of the wind when it is set free.
- Seek to live. Remembrance is for the old.
- You have to take risks … We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen. Every day, God gives us the sun — and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven't perceived that moment, that it doesn't exist — that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting our front-door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us. But that moment exists — a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles.
- Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.
- Lovers need to know how to lose themselves and then how to find themselves again.
- Love is much like a dam: if you allow a tiny crack to form through which only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure, and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current. For when those walls come down, then love takes over, and it no longer matters what is possible or impossible; it doesn't even matter whether we can keep the loved one at our side. To love is to lose control.
- There's nothing deeper than love. In fairy tales, the princesses kiss the frogs, and the frogs become princes. In real life, the princesses kiss princes, and the princes turn into frogs.
- Life takes us by surprise and orders us to move toward the unknown — even when we don't want to and when we think we don't need to.
- Love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to reach out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if it means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness.
The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us.
And to save us.
- If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.
- Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.
- Even if loving meant leaving, or solitude, or sorrow, love was worth every penny of its price.
- I am going to sit here with you by the river. If you go home to sleep, I will sleep in front of your house. And if you go away, I will follow you — until you tell me to go away. Then I'll leave. But I have to love you for the rest of my life.
The Manual of the Warrior of Light (1997)Edit
- Every Warrior of the Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons. Every Warrior of the Light has, at least once, believed he was not a Warrior of the Light.
Every Warrior of the Light has failed in his spiritual duties.
Every Warrior of the Light has said "yes" when he wanted to say "no."
Every Warrior of the Light has hurt someone he loved.
That is why he is a Warrior of the Light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is.
Each stone, each bend cries welcome to him. He identifies with the mountains and the streams, he sees something of his own soul in the plants and the animals and the birds of the field.
Then, accepting the help of God and of God's signs, he allows his personal legend to guide him toward the tasks that life has reserved for him.
On some nights, he has nowhere to sleep, on others he suffers from insomnia. "That's just how it is," thinks the warrior. "I was the one who chose to walk this path."
In these words lies all his power: He chose the path along which he is walking and so has no complaints.
- Warriors of the light are not perfect. Their beauty lies in accepting this fact and still desiring to grow and to learn.
- A warrior of the light never confuses tension with anxiety.
Veronika Decides to Die (1998)Edit
- Veronika decide morrer
- On 11 November 1997, Veronika decided that the moment to kill herself had — at last! — arrived.
- She believed herself to be completely normal. Two very simple reasons lay behind her decision to die, and she was sure that, were she to leave a note explaining, many people would agree with her.
The first reason: everything in her life was the same and, once her youth was gone, it would be downhill all the way, with old age beginning to leave irreversible marks, the onset of illness, the departure of friends. She would gain nothing by continuing to live; indeed, the likelihood of suffering only increased. The second reason was more philosophical: Veronika read the newspapers, watched TV, and she was aware of what was going on in the world. Everything was wrong, and she had no way of putting things right — that gave her a sense of complete powerlessness.
- When she opened her eyes, Veronika did not think "this must be heaven". Heaven would never use a fluorescent tube to light a room, and the pain — which started a fraction of a second later — was typical of the Earth. Ah, that Earth pain — unique, unmistakable.
- I'll tell everyone that the children are my reason for living, when in reality my life is their reason for living.
- Veronika brought her interior monologue to a close and made a promise to herself: she would not leave Villete alive. It was best to put an end to everything now, while she was still brave and healthy enough to die.
- Look me in the eye and never forget what I'm about to tell you. There are only two prohibitions, one according to man's law, the other according to God's. Never force a sexual relationship on anyone, because that is considered to be rape. And never have sexual relations with children, because that is the worst of all sins. Apart from that, you're free. There's always someone who wants exactly what you want.
- Mari to Veronika.
- The great problem with poisoning by Bitterness was that the passions — hatred, love, despair, enthusiasm, curiosity — also ceased to manifest themselves. After a while, the embittered person felt no desire at all. They lacked the will either to live or to die, that was the problem.
- You are someone who is different, but who wants to be the same as everyone else. And that in my view is a serious illness. God chose you to be different. Why are you disappointing God with this kind of attitude?
- You have two choices: to control your mind or to let your mind control you.
Eleven Minutes (2003)Edit
- When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left! How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly? Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.
- p. 9.
- My aim is to understand love. I know how alive I felt when I was in love, and I know that everything I have now, however interesting it might seem, doesn't really excited me.
But love is a terrible thing: I've seen my girlfriends suffer and I don't want the same thing to happen to me. … Although my aim is to understand love, and although I suffer to think of people to whom I gave my heart, I see that those who touched my heart failed to arouse my body, and that those who aroused my body failed to touch my heart.
- Maria's diary entry at the age of 17, p. 16.
- I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.
- p. 37.
- Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.
- p. 50.
- In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each of us responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel. It hurt when I lost each of the various men I fell in love with. Now, though, I am convinced that no one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.
- p. 97.
- Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time, even when they're not. When two bodies meet, it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours, even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next, or — such is the pleasure they experience — they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them.
- p. 164.
The Zahir (2005)Edit
- I learned something recently: our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives...
- p. 65.
- You want to know if the heart of a man or a woman can contain enough love for more than one person? … I think it's perfectly possible as long as one of those people doesn't turn into … a Zahir.
- p. 128.
- In my world, everything is possible and everything is relative.
- p. 167.
- Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.
- p. 205.
- Stop being who you were and become who you are.
- p. 215.
- A brush with death always helps us to live our lives better.
- p. 220.
- That's the problem, we do get used to things.
- p. 226.
- That is how I would have acted before my accident, but now my personal history had become unimportant. It had stopped being history and was once more becoming a legend, a search, an adventure, a journey into and away from myself. I was once more in a time which the things around me were changing and that is how I wanted it to be for the rest of my days.
- p. 272.
The Witch of Portobello (2007)Edit
- Athena's great problem was that she was a woman of the twenty-second century living in the twenty-first, and making no secret of the fact, either. Did she pay a price? She certainly did. But she would have paid a still higher price if she had repressed her natural exuberance. She would have been bitter, frustrated, always concerned about "what other people might think," always saying, "I'll just sort these things out, then I'll devote myself to my dream," always complaining "that the conditions are never quite right."
- Deidre O'Neill, known as Edda, p. 11.
- All my life I've learned to suffer in silence.
- p. 41.
- What is a teacher? I'll tell you: it isn't someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.
- p. 78.
- You are what you believe yourself to be.
Don't be like those people who believe in "positive thinking" and tell themselves that they're loved and strong and capable. You don't need to do that because you know it already. And when you doubt it — which happens, I think, quite often at this stage of evolution — do as I suggested. Instead of trying to prove that you're better than you think, just laugh. Laugh at your worries and insecurities. View your anxieties with humor. It will be difficult at first, but you'll gradually get used to it. Now go back and meet all those people who think you know everything. Convince yourself that they're right, because we all know everything, it's merely a question of believing.
- p. 152.
- Love simply is. That is the testament of Athena or Sherine or Hagia Sofia — love is. No definitions. Love and don't ask too many questions. Just love.
- p. 258.
Aleph (2011)Edit
- You feel that nothing you have learned has put down roots, that while you're capable of entering the magical universe, you cannot remain submerged in it. You feel that all of this may be nothing but a fantasy dreamed up by people to fend off their fear of death.
- I have only one certainty: there exists a parallel spiritual universe that impinges on the world in which we live. Apart from that, everything else seems absurd to me—sacred books, revelations, guides, manuals, ceremonies … and, what is worse, they appear to have no lasting effects.
- That's because, like everyone else on the planet, you believed that time would teach you to grow closer to God. But time doesn't teach; it merely brings us a sense of weariness and of growing older.
- In magic—and in life—there is only the present moment, the now. You can't measure time the way you measure the distance between two points. "Time" doesn't pass. We human beings have enormous difficulty in focusing on the present; we're always thinking about what we did, about how we could have done it better, about the consequences of our actions, and about why we didn't act as we should have. Or else we think about the future, about what we're going to do tomorrow, what precautions we should take, what dangers await us around the next corner, how to avoid what we don't want and how to get what we have always dreamed of.
- Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment, though, is outside of time, it's Eternity. In India, they use the word 'karma,' for lack of any better term.
It isn't what you did in the past that will affect the present. It's what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.
- You think that you exist because you're unhappy. Other people exist merely as a function of their problems and spend all their time talking compulsively about their children, their wives and husbands, school, work, friends. They never stop to think: I'm here. I am the result of everything that happened and will happen, but I'm here. If I did something wrong, I can put it right or at least ask forgiveness. If I did something right, that leaves me happier and more connected with the now".
- you discover that your old "I," along with everything you ever learned, is absolutely no use at all in the face of those new challenges, and you begin to realize that buried deep in your unconscious mind there is someone much more interesting and adventurous and more open to the world and to new experiences.
- Our life is a constant journey, from birth to death. The landscape changes, the people change, our needs change, but the train keeps moving. Life is the train, not the station. And what you're doing now isn't traveling, it's just changing countries, which is completely different
Understand what is going on inside you and you will understand what is going on inside everyone else.
- Whenever I refused to follow my fate, something very hard to bear would happen in my life.
Tragedy always brings about radical change in our lives, a change that is associated with the same principle: loss. When faced by any loss, there's no point in trying to recover what has been; it's best to take advantage of the large space that opens up before us and fill it with something new.
- What did I do to deserve this?
- Lord, preserve me from tragedy and I will follow your desires.
- Here I am, trying to persuade myself that I always give the best of myself, and nature is telling me exactly the opposite: anyone truly committed to life never stops walking.
- Hell is when we look back during that fraction of a second and know that we wasted an opportunity to dignify the miracle of life. Paradise is being able to say at that moment: "I made some mistakes, but I wasn't a coward. I lived my life and did what I had to do."
However, there's no need to anticipate my particular hell and keep going over and over the fact that I can make no further progress in what I understand to be my "Spiritual Quest." It's enough that I keep trying. Even those who didn't do all they could have done have already been forgiven; they had their punishment while they were alive by being unhappy when they could have been living in peace and harmony. We are all redeemed and free to follow the path that has no beginning and will have no end.
- Routine has nothing to do with repetition. To become really good at anything, you have to practice and repeat, practice and repeat, until the technique becomes intuitive.
- What can't be cured must be endured.
- Every note leaves in each of us a memory, but it is the melody as a whole that tells a story, the story of someone wanting to get closer to another person and who keeps on trying, despite repeated rejections.
- I can't tell someone that their dreams are impossible.
- If I were to persuade just one person to stop fighting for something they were convinced was worthwhile, I would end up persuading myself, and my whole life would be diminished.
- So, in my relationships with men, I've always sought suffering, conflict, and despair.
- Don't let yourself be destroyed by a force that was placed in our hearts in order to make everything better.
- The light of love flows out of my soul, but it can go nowhere because it's blocked by pain. I could inhale and exhale every morning for the rest of my life, but that wouldn't solve anything.
- What hurts us is what heals us.
- Life has been very hard on me, but, at the same time, it has taught me a great deal.
- To live is to experience things, not sit around pondering the meaning of life.
- What we aim to do is calm the spirit and get in touch with the source from which everything comes, removing any trace of malice or egotism. If you spend too much time trying to find out what is good or bad about someone else, you'll forget your own soul and end up exhausted and defeated by the energy you have wasted in judging others.
- Lao-tzu's words, was: place all your feelings outside of yourself and you will be renewed.
- I don't believe in God as you imagine Him to be, but I believe in many things that you could never even dream of.
- I think to myself that this really isn't something I should concern myself with.
- "No one can learn to love by following a manual, and no one can learn to write by following a course. I'm not telling you to seek out other writers but to find people with different skills from yourself, because writing is no different from any other activity done with joy and enthusiasm".
- If I had to give you one piece of advice, it would be this: don't be intimidated by other people's opinions.
- Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks, and do what you really want to do.
- Seek out people who aren't afraid of making mistakes and who, therefore, do make mistakes. Because of that, their work often isn't recognized, but they are precisely the kind of people who change the world and, after many mistakes, do something that will transform their own community completely".
- If someone is giving us something, that's because we're incapable of getting it for ourselves.
- Love is the only thing that will save us, independent of any mistakes we may make. Love is always stronger.
- Time neither moves nor is stationary. Time changes.
- We learn in the past, but we are not the result of that. We suffered in the past, loved in the past, cried and laughed in the past, but that's of no use to the present. The present has its challenges, its good and bad side. We can neither blame nor be grateful to the past for what is happening now. Each new experience of love has nothing whatsoever to do with past experiences. It's always new.
- People aren't used to that way of thinking. They want everything to stay the same—"
"—and the consequence of that is pain,".
- We are not the person other people wish we were. We are who we decide to be.
- It's always easy to blame others. You can spend your entire life blaming the world, but your successes or failures are entirely your own responsibility. You can try to stop time, but it's a complete waste of energy.
- If you rely only on experience, you'll simply keep applying old solutions to new problems. I know a lot of people who feel they have an identity only when they're talking about their problems. That way, they exist, because their problems are linked to what they judge to be their history.
- It takes a huge effort to free yourself from memory, but when you succeed, you start to realize that you're capable of far more than you imagined. You live in this vast body called the Universe, which contains all the solutions and all the problems. Visit your soul; don't visit your past. The Universe goes through many mutations and carries the past with it. We call each of those mutations a 'life,' but just as the cells in your body change and yet you remain the same, so time does not pass, it merely changes.
- Never. We never lose our loved ones. They accompany us; they don't disappear from our lives. We are merely in different rooms. For example, I can't see who is in the next carriage, but it contains people traveling in the same time as me, as you, as everyone. The fact that we can't speak to them or know what's going on in that other carriage is completely irrelevant. They are there. So what we call 'life' is a train with many carriages. Sometimes we're in one, sometimes we're in another, and sometimes we cross between them, when we dream or allow ourselves to be swept away by the extraordinary.
- Love always triumphs over what we call death. That's why there's no need to grieve for our loved ones, because they continue to be loved and remain by our side.
- Life is one long training session in preparation for what will come. Life and death lose their meaning; there are only challenges to be met with joy and overcome with tranquility.
- First develop a strategy that utilizes everything around you. The best way to prepare for a challenge is to cultivate the ability to call on an infinite variety of responses.
- I forgive the tears I was made to shed,
I forgive the pain and the disappointments, I forgive the betrayals and the lies, I forgive the slanders and intrigues, I forgive the hatred and the persecution, I forgive the blows that hurt me, I forgive the wrecked dreams, I forgive the stillborn hopes, I forgive the hostility and jealousy, I forgive the indifference and ill will, I forgive the injustice carried out in the name of justice, I forgive the anger and the cruelty, I forgive the neglect and the contempt, I forgive the world and all its evils." I will be capable of loving, regardless of whether I am loved in return,
- Of giving, even when I have nothing,
Of working happily, even in the midst of difficulties, Of holding out my hand, even when utterly alone and abandoned, Of drying my tears, even while I weep, Of believing, even when no one believes in me.
- The world is divided into those who understand me and those who don't. In the case of the latter, I simply leave them to torment themselves trying to gain my sympathy.
- I love you like a river that creates the right conditions for trees and bushes and flowers to flourish along its banks. I love you like a river that gives water to the thirsty and takes people where they want to go.
"I love you like a river that understands that it must learn to flow differently over waterfalls and to rest in the shallows. I love you because we are all born in the same place, at the same source, which keeps us provided with a constant supply of water. And so, when we feel weak, all we have to do is wait a little. The spring returns, and the winter snows melt and fill us with new energy.
"I love you like a river that begins as a solitary trickle in the mountains and gradually grows and joins other rivers until, after a certain point, it can flow around any obstacle in order to get where it wants.
"I receive your love, and I give you mine. Not the love of a man for a woman, not the love of a father for a child, not the love of God for his creatures, but a love with no name and no explanation, like a river that cannot explain why it follows a particular course but simply flows onward. A love that asks for nothing and gives nothing in return; it is simply there. I will never be yours, and you will never be mine; nevertheless, I can honestly say: I love you, I love you, I love you.
- I am not a foreigner, because I haven't been praying to return safely home. I haven't wasted my time imagining my house, my desk, my side of the bed. I am not a foreigner, because we are all traveling, we are all full of the same questions, the same tiredness, the same fears, the same selfishness, and the same generosity. I am not a foreigner, because, when I asked, I received.
- When I knocked, the door opened. When I looked, I found.
- Life is a dream from which we wake only when we meet death.
- The weak are wicked. Goodness can only be expected from the strong.
- God is where you let Him in.
- This expression originates with a statement of Kotzker Rebbe, who, when he was five years old asked his father "Where is God?" to which his father answered: "God is everywhere!" Rebbe then responded "No, I think God is only where you let Him in." As quoted in Innerspace : Introduction to Kabbalah, Meditation and Prophecy (1990), by Aryeh Kaplan, p. 160.
- May love be your guide in every moment of your life.

We all use place names everyday to describe our surroundings, where we're going or where we've been.
Rivers, mountains, plains, towns, suburbs, reefs, shoals and undersea features all have names. Whether they are of national or international importance or known only to a handful of people, names connect places to their local communities and often reflect our heritage and culture.
New Zealand and each Australian state and territory – including our Antarctic areas of interest – have a place name registrar, naming board or committee for approving or registering names. However it is the Permanent Committee on Place Names (PCPN) that coordinates place-naming activities across Australia and New Zealand.
In August 2013 the 2012 National Gazetteer of Australia was released.
In 2009 PCPN, on behalf of UNGEGN, completed the production of a fully revised regional map and gazetteer of Asia South East, Pacific South West.
Teachers Lesson Pack
PCPN has developed an innovative internet based teaching pack for the sharing of information about geographic place names and to promote the significance of geographic place names in the community.
This includes the "What's in a Name?" Video which highlights the significance of place names and the part they play in everyday life. Starring Ernie Dingo, it tells the story of how places get their names and explains PCPN's role in looking after them.
Our History and Membership
PCPN has produced an informative brochure on place naming in Australia and New Zealand. Significantly, it outlines the achievements of PCPN in ensuring the integrity of place names.
PCPN understands that naming places is something people are passionate about.
Our role is to coordinate and communicate the consistent use of place names to ensure they meet the requirements of the whole community, including government bodies and emergency services; and also indigenous people.
The Committee for Geographical Names of Australasia (CGNA) was formed in 1984 to coordinate place naming activities across Australia and New Zealand. In 1993, we became a standing committee within the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) with the support of Geoscience Australia. In October 2015 the name of the committee was updated to the Permanent Committee on Place Names (PCPN).
Our members come from Australian state and territory naming boards and committees, New Zealand and other organisations with a role and interest in place naming, including the:
- Australian National Placenames Survey
- Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority
- Australian Antarctic Division
- Australian Hydrographic Office
- Department of Defence
Through PCPN, Australia and New Zealand participate in the activities of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) and contribute to world best practice in the management of place names.

As Singapore raced toward urbanization just four decades ago, water shortages were a recurrent part of daily life. Fast forward to the present, and the situation could not be more different: Today, the city state enjoys reliable, diversified and sustainable sources of water, thanks to a long-term water policy driven by the exigencies of national survival.
As a small island nation with no natural aquifers and lakes, and little land to collect rainwater, Singapore needs to maximize whatever water it can harvest. It does so by drawing on a pervasive network of drains, canals and rivers that channel rain water to 15 reservoirs and managing its total water supply in an efficient, integrated manner.
Singapore's national water agency PUB has built an internationally acknowledged model of successful water management based on a Four National Taps strategy, with water from four different sources: local catchment areas, imported water, reclaimed water and desalinated water. The opening of the Marina Barrage in 2008, which created the Marina Reservoir was a technological triumph: Singapore's fifteenth reservoir and the first one in the heart of the city not only shores up the nation's water supply and acts as a flood defense but also functions as a lifestyle attraction for social and water activities, thus creating a greater affinity between the vital water medium and its consumers.
With 100 percent modern sanitation, Singapore is able to collect and treat its used water and turn that into high-grade reclaimed water it calls NEWater, the quality of which is well within the World Health Organization standards for drinking water. Most of it is used for industrial and air-cooling purposes, but a small percentage is mixed with reservoir water before being treated for the drinking water supply.
Ensuring an adequate and secure supply of water continues to be a national priority for Singapore, as it is for other industrializing and urbanizing cities. Growing demand for low-cost, potable water in the regional and global context is driven by several key factors, namely:
According to the United Nations' World Water Development Report, by 2050, at least one in four people is likely to live in a country affected by chronic or recurring shortages of freshwater.
The figures bear up the facts. In Singapore, the total population at mid-year 2009 amounted to 4.99 million, from 4.03 million based on the 2000 census, according to the latest data available, while its industrial production index rose 39.4 percent in January 2010 on a year-on-year basis.
According to a report released by the Asia Society Leadership Group on Water Security in 2009, the rural population in Asia will remain almost the same from now to 2025 but the urban population is likely to increase by a startling 60 percent. This rapid urbanization rate raises an urgent signal that practical solutions must be found to address water shortage issues before the situation deteriorates, with unhappy effects for economic growth.
As such, sustainable water solutions will be a subject very much on participants' minds at the forthcoming Singapore International Water Week 2010, to be held from June 28 to July 2. With the theme of Sustainable Cities – Clean and Affordable Water, this global platform for water solutions will bring policymakers, industry leaders, experts and practitioners together to address challenges, showcase technologies, discover opportunities and celebrate achievements.
The annual event comprises the Water Leaders Summit, Water Convention, Water Expo, Business Forums and the highlight, the Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize.
Water availability and balancing economic, social, and future needs without adversely affecting the Earth's natural resources is one of the most important issues facing the world. It is therefore important for global water leaders to share their experiences and learn from one another to develop sustainable initiatives. The Water Leaders Summit brings together ministers, mayors, top government officials, global water industry leaders, heads of international organizations, leading researchers and practitioners to consider pressing water governance, technology and business issues that affect communities worldwide, providing the impetus for innovations to address these challenges.
Water Week 2010 culminates in the presentation of the prestigious Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize, which this year goes to the Yellow River Conservancy Commission (YRCC), for its remarkable transformation of China's second longest river in just 10 years, to secure water supply for more than 100 million people. The prize honors outstanding contributions toward solving global water problems by either applying groundbreaking technologies or implementing innovative policies and programs that benefit humanity.
Despite the paucity of renewable water resources in Singapore (it is listed by the World Bank as the 165th country out of 173 in the amount of water available per capita), the city state leads the world in virtually every aspect of water management. While its water management experience may be unique and difficult to duplicate, a good number of the measures can be implemented in countries looking for sustainable water solutions.
Securing an adequate supply is only half of the water equation ─ managing the demand side is just as crucial. In Singapore, strict regulations ensure that water usage is 100 percent metered, while the installation of water-saving devices such as water-saving toilets and water taps is par for the course. PUB's water conservation programs have managed to reduce Singapore's per capita domestic water consumption from 165 liters per day in 2003 to about 155 liters per day currently. The plan is to further reduce per capita water consumption to 140 liters by 2030.
Turning water from a scarce resource and strategic vulnerability into a showcase success story and potential money spinner is no mean feat. Countries must manage their use of water better or face increasingly severe shortages as a result. Addressing water sustainability and meeting thriving demand for efficient and cost-effective solutions to provide affordable, potable water will present great opportunities for the world's water industry in the years to come.

According to a new study, free Wi-Fi makes travelers more likely to opt not to drive
Forget about better bus routes or plusher subway cars. The best way to get people to ride mass transit might simply be to offer free wireless.
According to a just-released DePaul University study, riders are more likely than ever to spend their commute plugged in, whether they're traveling by plane, train or bus. All told, more than 90 percent of passengers use a digital device at some point during their trip. And more often than not, it's a device with a screen, rather than a cell phone or iPod.
That in itself isn't so surprising: the proliferation of handheld technology means it's almost impossible to disconnect. More interesting is this little nugget, from a blog post by researcher Joseph Schwieterman:
A survey we administered to riders waiting at curbside boarding locations showed that almost half consider Wi-Fi important when they choose a travel mode, and about 55% plan to send texts or emails on their trip. The ability to freely use portable devices, while undoubtedly less important than the low fares, helps explain why so many affluent travelers now hop on curbside buses, even when travel times are longer. With more than 400 daily departures, this sector has grown by more than 25% annually over the past several years.
More and more, mass transportation is changing its model to attract connected customers. Megabus and BoltBus both provide free Wi-Fi (along with power outlets). Amtrak offers Internet on all Acela trips. Even Greyhound is getting in on the action, albeit slower than others. According to Open WiFi Spots, several regional and urban transit systems also invite riders to log on. You can check your email on Seattle ferries and Austin buses, among others.
Schwieterman cautions against reading too much into the data. "It would be a stretch to argue that portable technology will appreciably diminish the share of travel by car anytime soon," he writes. Still, Wi-Fi might be a (relatively) inexpensive way for transit systems to get people out of their cars and onto trains, subways and buses.

Scorched Bushveld part 5
The Scorched Bushveld series was inspired by a scene I had witnessed while hiking in the African bushveld; I came across a large area completely blackened by veld fire, and amongst the soot and ashes were the remains of trees which bared the patterns and texture of years of growth, now frozen in a charred state. The trees are cut into different image planes, where the fragmentation is symbolic of the interruption and rearrangement of nature into a geometric unnatural pattern.
The Scorched Bushveld series was drawn using Ballograf ballpoint ink and Fabriano Artistico ph-neutral archival paper.

Excellent product !!!!
That's what i'm looking for
I think that the next important steps in your project are:
- 24 V input and output ()
- 0 to 10 V analog input
- RS 485 and RS 232 interface
We can not use the actual IO configuration in industrial projects

Hello everyone,
A couple of months of die-hard labour further and we are pleased to announce the new version of Industruino. In this new version we have updated to a new LCD screen which uses the U8G library and also moved to a 4-layer board for improved signal quality. Please have a look at our website for more information: www.industruino.com We have also made a short movie introducing Industruino: http://goo.gl/xr5Dvq
@ Simone_550, Thank you for your feedback. I totally agree that this should be the next step. We first had to make sure we had a good base to work on, and that's exactly what we've done in the last couple of months. We will develop a number of boards that connect to Industruino which will offer a number of industrial I/O options and power regulation.
Best Regards,
Re: Industruino - DIN-rail Leonardo compatible

Congrats! This is exacly what I was looking for for an energy meter project.
In fact I was just looking for the case, but this will make me consider my design from scratch.
I don't know whats on your roadmap, but for my use case I would love to see some add-ons:
-220Vac to 5Vdc power supply, so that you can power the unit straight from the 220Vac
-Maybe a baseboard with an header interface capable of use regular shields already on the market.
- Or shield's/modules combining uSD card with either Xbee/ Bluetooth or Electric IMP.
Keep up the good work.
btw-It's not clear from the site, the dimensions of the kit. How many DIN RAIL units does it take. Looks like 5, but not shure.

Re: Industruino - DIN-rail Leonardo compatible
Dec 25, 2013, 07:44 pm
my suggestions :
make the base unit pretty much like you have it.
have a side connector for a second unit, IC2 or some such and allow a second unit to have dedicated parts.
if you look at any of the small PLC's on the market, they have one base unit, and then add-on units.
that keeps the main unit clean and gives everyone the option of stuffing the add-on with all the circuits they want.
I am looking for dimensional layout of the terminal board. that way, I can make my own for my needs.
Re: Industruino - DIN-rail Leonardo compatible
Jan 17, 2014, 11:57 pm
Hi, first of all congratulations!! I like the idea, it's almost what I'm looking for..
It's always the same problem with all those arduino, there is a lot of shields and modules but it's almost impossible to find a proper box where everything can fit.
All my arduino project look like junk of wires which is not really good from a reliability point of view..
However, I see one important point/suggestion:
it would be good if we could directly put 1-2 existing shield into your box. The actually design does not seems to be optimized for that (please, correct me if I'm wrong).
Almost all those shield arduino Uno/Leonardo compatible have the same format/size so it should be possible to do something.. That would make your Industruino much more flexible, people could put a ethernet/SD card/bluetooth/RS485/motor driver shield according to their needs.
For example, in one of my project, I have an
SD card shield
and a bluetooth shield, is there any way to integrate those parts into the industruino?
If that cannot fit into the actual industruino package, it could be some kind of extra module connected to the main industruino. Those external modules could have the appearance of the current industruino but without the screen&uC board.. that would provide much more flexibility!
What is your point of view? does it make any sense to you?
Re: Industruino - DIN-rail Leonardo compatible
Feb 26, 2014, 11:24 pm
Second the 24V IO... that would make this nice for Industrial integration projects.
Also, this will go well in a Shapeoko cabinet. Even better, if the Stepper Shield were built into a particular model of this design.
I could see people really wanting direction keys for moving the Shapeoko with this. Very nice project.
Re: Industruino - DIN-rail Leonardo compatible
Mar 24, 2014, 05:01 pm
congrats - a great idea and great execution. For industrial use I would suggest adopting a modular approach - the variety (and physical size) of some of the I/O that is going to be popular in this application probably won't fit well inside your enclosure and would want to be electrically (and EMF noise) seperated anyway. e..g I'm thinking maybe 8 Mains rated relay's would be a very common application but tricky to fit inside your enclosure safely to a degree that anyone would be comfortable using in a safety regulated industrial setting. One definite on my wish list though has to be the Ethernet interface. With that and probably i2C and RS232 and RS485 interfaces exposed you would cast the Industruino as the intelligent hub of a solution that could displace many PLC and more expensive microcontroller based solutions.
Other posters referrenced bringing the I/O out on a side connector to allow daisychaining to I/O modules on the DIN rail. Thats a common technique in the industry but one I personally find a little inflexible when one has a lot of I/O as it means you need a long single run of DIN rail which is often awkward to accomodate. extending on ribbon cable might be an option but is harder to suppress interference on low voltage I/O lines so personally I would stick with the individual I/O screw terminals you have and allow people to add on your or others external boards.
I assume you have seen this? http://www.ruggedcircuits.com/ruggeduino/
Have you gone for similar levels of electrical protection for the microcontroller in your design? That is pretty much necessary to install in industrial situations unless you want to end up with a lot of broken units by careless installers :-)
Great job - will be following with interest and as soon as a board with inbuilt ethernet and maybe some of those serial interfaces is available I'll definitely be buying one to evaluate.
good job.

Hi, industrino looks like! very good project.
I know another project similar, more or less also less than more
, its industrialshields. you can see in www.industrialshields.com
Do you sell industrino in industrialshields web? they have an industrial platform to develop projects and sell products. It will be look like to see industrino there.
Thanks, very good project!!!!!

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for all the great feedback! We have listened closely and tried to implement as much of the requests as possible.
@hangas: Thank you for your suggestions. We are also developing a Mega version which will have space in the enclosure to host standard Arduino shields. Regarding mains power: We will offer industry DIN-rail power supplies on our website. We prefer this route as it is avoids a lot of the safety concern of an internal mains power supply. It would also be more flexible, allowing users to choose a power supply of the right amount of power for their specific sensors/actuators.
@damien09: Please see our new EXP baseboard which adds an expansion connector for optional external modules.
@magno32: lets get in touch! I would definitely be interested in producing a Shapeoko baseboard for Industruino, but I would need design support.
@gsalerni: Please have a look at our EXP baseboard for expansion module or IND.I/O baseboard for a ready to go solution that has isolated industrial level I/O.

We are very please to announce 3 new products to complement our Industruino range of products!
Ethernet DIN Expansion Module
IND.I/O baseboard
(industrial level I/O interface baseboard).
EXP baseboard
(same as standard Industruino but with 14P IDC expansion port for external modules, plus a 7-28Vin -> 5V/2A switching voltage regulator).
Please have a look at our website for all details:
Re: Industruino - DIN-rail Leonardo compatible
Apr 15, 2014, 09:11 pm
specs look good Loic. Question on the RS485 - is that on the Indo IO only or on the EXP baseboard as well? From the pinouts it looks like that is using the same TX/RX lines as the mainboard so I can use serial levels on the mainboard/baseboard but this is replaced by RS485 levels on the IO baseboard - I no longer have both is that correct?
The diagram on the Industruino website suggests Modbus slave as a possible usage of the Industruino over it's RS485 connector. Any limiting factor that would stop it being Modbus master (sketch permitting of course)?
Great job! I'll be ordering one up now with Ethernet module and EXP or Ind I/O.

Hello Guy,
Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad to hear you like the look of our new products.
The RS485 transceiver is only included on the IND.I/O board, but could be easily added to the EXP board because it has a large prototyping area. On the IND.I/O the RS485 transceiver is indeed connected to the RX/TX lines of the mainboard but the RX/TX lines are also present on the 14p expansion port, so in case you don't use the RS485 portion of the IND.I/O you can still use the standard UART.
Modbus slave and master both run on the same RS485 hardware so INDO.I/O supports master mode.
I have libraries for both Modbus slave and Modbus master but I personally have only used the slave library. We ported the libraries from this source to run on the Leonardo: https://code.google.com/p/simple-modbus/

Generally, the touchscreen technology used in a tablet is related to the device's specifications: high-end models usually adopt cutting-edge technologies, first-tier brand vendors' mid-range/entry-level models mostly adopt GFF-based touch panels, and white-box products normally use lower-end technologies. The traditional GG technology has been mostly left to gradually disappear from the sector.
However, Digitimes Research has found that some Taiwan-based vendors have started looking back to GG-based touch panels for their entry-level tablets in order to keep up with the fierce price competition.
Although the relationship between the touchscreen technology and product specifications is not as firmed for handset products as for tablets, Digitimes Research also has found GG technology's shipment proportion has been rising for handset products recently.
Digitimes Research believes GG touch panels' revival is mainly due to its more friendly pricing thanks to excessive capacities and mature technology. Currently, a GG touch panel is about 20-25% cheaper than a mid-range GFF touch panel and its price is even lower than a GF1 touch panel.
Another advantage of the GG technology is its low failure rate compared to those of GFF and OGS technologies. Overseas orders have become an important source of income for entry-level smartphone and tablet players. The time and resources needed to handle defective products returned to China from overseas clients can be a heavy burden for both suppliers and clients. Compared to GFF-based touch panels' about 1-2% failure rate, GG-based touch panels' 0.5-1% rate can significantly reduce the chance of products being returned.
Acer's entry-level 7-inch and 7.85-inch tablets both tablets adopted GFF touch panels from Taiwan-based Shun On Electronic (SOE) in 2013. But amid fierce price competition, the two entry-level tablets will now change to GG touch panels from China-based Holitech.
As for handsets, China-based ZTE and TCL, both of which focus heavily on overseas markets, and China-based CoolPad, which has just entered overseas markets, have adopted GG touch panels for most of their overseas models. Such moves benefit their upstream panel suppliers such as Success Electronics, Shenzhen Laibao Hi-Technology and Holitech.
