Bluetooth RelayBluetooth is an ideal wireless platform relay control within a short range. Bluetooth Relays will be paired with your computer, smart phone or tablet using the Bluetooth connection on your device. This involves traditional pairing methods you are already familiar with. Once paired, the FR420_ZBT will appear in your Bluetooth control panel, and a new COM port will be available for computer users. Once the connection has been established Android users can download the free app from Google Play and start controlling the relay installed.
ZBT ModulesThis board is equipped with a ZBT Module. The ZBT communications module adds Bluetooth communications to the board. There are two module options available, for more on each module see Bluetooth Module Options The ZBT module is powered from the board. The board itself will require 12 volts of power and can be hard wired or you can purchase a "wall wart" type power supply.
Bluetooth ConfigurationConfiguration is easy with the optional Bluetooth ZigMo Modem. Simply connect it to the USB port of your computer with the supplied cable. The Bluetooth ZigMo is available as an option when you purchase your Bluetooth controller. The ZBT module will pull off the board and can be installed in the ZigMo for configuration. You can then configure the baud rate and password settings if you require a secure wireless control. After configuration the ZBT module can be re-installed in your board and it's ready to pair with your device.
Sending CommandsFor computer users Base Station Software is available at no charge to get you up and running fast (more on Base Station below). Once powered up, the controller waits for a command. A command consists of a few bytes of data in numerical format (ProXR Enhanced Command Set) usually between 2 and 6 bytes. Once the command has been received, the controller processes the command, and sends you back ASCII character code 85 to signal the completion of your command. If a command was sent to read the status of the relay the status is sent back.
Induction SuppressionPerhaps the most overlooked aspect of relay control is proper handling of inductive loads. Inductive loads can best be defined as anything with a magnetic coil, such as a motor, solenoid, or a transformer. Controlling a inductive load using this relay controller requires the use of induction suppression capacitors. The purpose of this capacitor is to absorb the high voltages generated by inductive loads, blocking them from the contacts of the relay. Without this capacitor, the lifespan of the relay will be greatly reduced. Induction can be so severe that it electrically interferes with the microprocessor logic of our controllers, causing relay banks to shut themselves down unexpectedly. In the case of Ethernet devices, customers may experience loss of communications until the device is reconnected. Capacitors that we offer are available at checkout, for more information view our Induction Suppression Video.
Bluetooth on Apple ComputersCommunicating to to this board on a Mac is possible, although it can be a bit tricky. The Bluetooth Mac Terminal video below shows the steps to establish Bluetooth communication and controlling the relay on a Mac.
Bluetooth on iPhone or iPad Unfortunately the iPhone and iPad are a different matter. Apple encrypts the Bluetooth signal on an iPhone and iPad and therefore this board will not communicate with the iPhone or iPad. We recommend the Web-i browser based interface for the iPhone or iPad users.

Third Generation Time ControlFusion controllers have many ways to control relays, one of the most powerful methods of relay control is based on a time schedule. Fusion Taralist is our third generation of Taralist controllers. The first two major revisions were released as Taralist controllers beginning in 2009. Fusion Taralist refinements extend the capabilities significantly while retaining the reliable core processing engine.
Time Schedule ActivationTaralist runs as a background task of Fusion Series controllers. Every second Taralist runs through a user-created list of events looking for a time match. When a time match occurs, relays are activated or deactivated according to the schedule. Taralist is also capable of triggering Reactor events when a time match is detected, greatly extending the capabilities of the Fusion controller.
Base Station SoftwareFusion Taralist features are configured using Base Station software (a free download). The use of Base Station is absolutely essential to configuring Fusion controllers. The Taralist features of Base Station software make it easy to build a list of events, allowing you to load, save, and test events during the configuration process. Base Station Taralist configuration sports a new interface with two operating modes, Simplified and Expert. The default mode of operation is Simplified mode, allowing you to build schedules and examine only what is essential for basic schedule editing. Simplified makes it a lot easier for anyone to build a time schedule, as there are fewer features to sift through. The Expert mode adds more user interface functions, helping you tune your event list along the way. Expert mode is for advanced users who need the full feature set of Taralist at their disposal. Base Station now automatically sorts events as you build your schedule, so you can always see the exact order of event processing.
Priority ControlFusion Taralist has very low priority control of relays. A time schedule can control relays, sensors can override Taralist relays (using Reactor features), and computer control (ProXR) overrides Taralist and Reactor. Despite its low priority of the relays, Taralist has high priority over the Fusion CPU, rebooting the CPU or automatically resetting the priority levels based on a time schedule. So Taralist does have provisions for taking control when absolutely necessary.
Taralist and ReactorTaralist and Reactor are also capable of working together to control relays instead of prioritized relay control. Using the Fusion Relay Status and Usage Map, Taralist and Reactor can be linked so that a sensor can only activate a relay if the time schedule allows it.
Taralist Event ControllerThe Taralist Event Controller is used to build a schedule of events to be processed by the Taralist processor. There are many elements to this interface that can help you build and test your schedule. The most important rule to adhere to when working with Taralist is the order in which the schedule is processed. All events shown in this list are processed every second. Once the events have been processed, Taralist may automatically elect to refresh all relay banks depending on your event settings. Most importantly, items shown in the top of the list have the lowest priority while items at the bottom of the list will be processed last, so the last events have the highest priority. Just keep in mind, Taralist processes the entire list before refreshing relays.
Time CompensationThe Time Compensation buffer automatically adjusts the time a few seconds forward or backward to help keep the time calibrated. It is normal for the time to drift a few seconds each day, depending on power supply and temperature of the controller. The Time Compensation control panel helps automatically re-adjust for time drift.
Time MatchingThe Event Editor has several options that may or may not be added. This allows you to customize the exact time match requirement for your application. The hours, minutes, and seconds check boxes are default options because Taralist requires an exact time to trigger an event. However, you may choose to match on the Day of Week, Day of Month, Month, and Year.
Midnight BackupThe Midnight Backup Buffer is absolutely essential to the functionality of the Taralist controller. Without it, a simple power interruption could result in some relays failing to activate according to a past schedule. A constant power supply is recommended for all Taralist controllers and a UPS style battery backup system is also recommended. However, no matter how many precautions are taken, at some point a Taralist controller will lose power.
The Midnight Backup Buffer is used to help protect from simple power interruptions. Here's an example of how the Midnight Backup Buffer helps protect your time schedule: Imagine a scenario where a relay is turned on by an event on Monday, and turned back off on Friday. However, power is lost on Wednesday for a few minutes. Without the Midnight Backup Buffer the relay will not turn back on until the following Monday. With the Midnight Backup Buffer, a backup is made of relay settings and is used to help recover the relay state just in case power is lost.
Triggering an EventUsers have their choice of many events to trigger when a time match is detected. Some event types are processed constantly so that if power is lost, the Taralist processor can resume where it was at the time of power failure. Such is the case for relay control commands. Keep in mind, the Taralist processor needs power at midnight to back up current settings. Other events are labeled ETMO or Exact Time Match Only. These events required the current time of the Taralist controller to match the time recorded in the event, and will not be triggered if power is lost and then later restored.
To better understand standard processing vs. ETMO processing, it is necessary to give an example. Let's say Relay 1 is set to activate a 9:00 AM using the "Turn On a Relay" event. This is a standard event type. Let's say Relay 2 is set to activate at 9:00 AM by telling Taralist to trigger a Reactor event to turn on Relay 2. Triggering Reactor events from Taralist requires an exact time match (ETMO). On a normal day, both relays will activate at 9:00 AM. However, if power is lost at 10:00 AM and restored at 11:00 AM, only Relay 1 would turn on.&nbbsp; Since Taralist is constantly processing all events every second, Taralist knows that Relay 1 should have been activated at 9:00 AM, so Taralist decides to go ahead and activate Relay 1 at 11:00 AM to recover from the power failure. When Taralist triggers a Reactor event, this function requires an exact time match (ETMO). If power is restored at 11:00 AM, this event will not be triggered again until 9:00 AM the next day, when the time on the clock exactly matches the time stored in the event.

Sensor Control
Monitor 16 SensorsReactor is capable of monitoring up to 16 different sensors, with special provisions for analog and digital sensor data. Reactor also includes 16 counters, used for controlling relay sequences, as well as 16 timers. Reactor is capable of controlling the first 32 relays of a Fusion controller. Additional relays may be controlled using Taralist (time schedule) or ProXR (computer control).
Preset List of EventsReactor has a preset list of events available. When sensor values match user-defined settings, events are triggered. Events allow you to control relays, flash relays, trigger/reset timers, increase/decrease counters, send/push notifications to a server, and much more.
TLEE Expansion ModuleThe capabilities of the Reactor processor are greatly expanded when the TLEE expansion module is plugged into the Fusion controller. The TLEE expansion module provides additional memory as well as Real Time Clock, allowing the Fusion controller to control relays based on a time schedule. With the TLEE expansion module installed, users will have many more ways to trigger events. For example, analog sensors will be capable of handling up to 7 limits per sensor with 32 total events per sensor! Without the TLEE, analog sensors are limited to 2 limits per sensor and 12 events. Push notifications are possible for users with the TLEE expansion module installed.
Remote AccessRemote Access features allow a Fusion controller to ask other Fusion controllers for sensor data using wireless communications. A TLEE expansion module is required for a Fusion controller to ask another Fusion controller for data. However, a Fusion controller is capable of responding to requests for sensor data without a TLEE expansion module. Put simply, a TLEE is required in applications where the Fusion controller acts as a master (requesting sensor data), but the TLEE is not required when Fusion is acting as a slave (responding to sensor data requests).
Relays & TimersReactor also includes a method of associating relays to Timers and Counters. This allows relays to follow the sequence of a counter (with many counting sequence types available). Relays may also be associated with timers, activating or deactivating as timers reach various states. Timer and counters may be combined, allowing relays to be progressively switched as time increases (perfect for runway or driveway light applications).
Relay PrioritiesSince Fusion controllers have three separate relay controllers integrated into the firmware (Reactor, Taralist, and ProXR), these three controllers require a clearly defined strategy for managing relay priorities. Without it, relay state changes would be unpredictable. Fusion controllers have a very powerful and flexible relay priority system that is color coded when using our Base Station software, making it easy to see which controller has control of the relay.
Priority AssignmentsBy default, Reactor relay control has priority over a Taralist relay (time schedule relay), and has a lower priority than a ProXR Relay (computer controlled relay). However, Taralist and Reactor can control a relay cooperatively. Using cooperative relay control you can tie a sensor to a time schedule. The relay priority system can be configured so that both Taralist and Reactor must tell the same relay to turn on before the relay will activate. The cooperative state of the relay may also be changed so that either Taralist OR Reactor can activate the same relay. However, the default cooperative state of the relay is for Reactor to take control and override a Taralist relay, and when this happens, Taralist will be unable to control a Reactor relay. ProXR (computer control) always has top priority over Taralist and Reactor, allowing users to override sensor and time scheduled relay control.
Base Station SoftwareReactor is configured using Base Station Software. Base Station is capable of communicating and configuring a Fusion controller using any supported communication technology. Fusion controllers equipped with Wi-Fi, Ethernet or Web-i interface may be configured remotely over the internet provided port forwarding is properly configured on your router. A static IP address is not required for remote configuration.
Analog Data SourcesThe objective of ADC is to convert a sensor to a voltage and a voltage to a value. Reactor works with these data values directly, making decisions based on the values. Reactor is capable of reading analog data from various data sources, analog data is limited to 0 to 5 Volts DC. The process of analog to digital conversion is completely managed by the Fusion controller, converting this voltage to numeric values that can be monitored by Reactor. Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC) makes it possible for Reactor to read the light levels in the room and activate relays accordingly. Similarly, ADC allows Reactor to read temperature, humidity, moisture, sound levels, and much more. There are many kinds of sensors that are compatible with Reactor ADC.
ResolutionDuring configuration, you may see options for 8-bit, 10-bit, 12-bit or other resolutions of data sources. Reading an analog data source at 8-bit resolution means Reactor is capable of reading a voltage from 0 to 5 volts converting it to a value from 0 to 255. Reading an analog data source at 10-bit resolution means Reactor is capable of reading a voltage from 0 to 5 volts and converting it to a value from 0 to 1023. Similarly, 12-bit resolution converts the incoming voltage to a value from 0 to 4095.
Defining LimitsOne limit is defined at a value of 100 (1.95 volts). When the analog value equals or falls below 100, the "Events Triggered Below Limit" are executed. When the Analog value goes above 100, four events are triggered in the "Events Triggered Above Limit" column. Reactor is automatically smoothing the input using the "8-Bit Analog with Data Smoothing" option. Data smoothing may be turned off in applications that may require Reactor to instantly respond to analog changes. Data Smoothing is the default option, making Reactor immune to occasional random voltage spikes that may be presented to the controller in electrically noisy installations. In the sample to the right, a TLEE expansion module is NOT installed, so only two limits are possible for this data source. With the TLEE expansion module installed, seven limits are possible, see example below.
Fusion Reactor Videos
Push Notification
Customization VariablesPush notifications have a few customization variables that indicate the data content of a Push Notification. A Push Notification may consist of only a few bytes of data or as much as 44 bytes of data, depending on the options you have chosen. The Push Notification Setup window does not really have too many user-configured options, despite the size of the window. This configuration control panel uses most of its screen space demonstrating the organization of a Push Notification data packet, greatly simplifying software development for interpreting Fusion Push Notification data packets.
Push Notification ConfigurationPush notifications are configured using a few checks to indicate data that is to be included in the data packet. Header Bytes 1 through 4 shown below may be used for anything or to help identify the controller that sent the Push Notification. Push notifications can be sent to Port 1 or Port 2. Port 2 will be unavailable if your Fusion controller is configured for Remote Access. Use Reactor events to trigger push notifications. Taralist is capable of triggering Reactor events.
Fusion Remote Access
Second Communication PortRemote Access uses the second communication port on your Fusion controller. Every Fusion controller must use the second port to join in on the Remote Access "group". Remote Access wirelessly links your Fusion controllers together. Up to 257 relay controllers can be wirelessly linked together using Remote Access (Master + 256 Wireless Remote Slaves). What you end up with is a single, gigantic relay controller with all the pieces spread up to one mile away. Every remote Fusion controller is capable of talking to the entire group, so every Fusion controller can act as a Master or a Slave to another Fusion controller. Building this group is what configuration is all about.
TunnelingTunneling is the ability to use a Fusion controller to take control of another Fusion controller. Tunneling essentially turns your Fusion controller into a modem or communications relay station, forwarding all commands directly to a remote Fusion controller. Tunneling can effectively double the useful wireless range of a Fusion controller as it is possible to send wireless commands to a Fusion controller and have this controller forward your commands to a remote Fusion controller.
Remote Command ExecutionRemote Command Execution is where one Fusion controller forwards a single command to a remote Fusion controller. If you are a software developer, you can easily forward commands to 256 different Fusion controllers in the local area. Remote Command Execution is instantaneous, allowing you to process up to ten commands per second. Instantly control relays in the pool house, the kitchen, the office, or open any of the doors to your 20-car garage! Read sensors all around the estate to gather temperature, humidity, light levels and even ground moisture. Your software talks to one controller, Remote Access COMPLETELY handles communications to all 256 slaves.
Remote Data CollectionRemote Data Collection is a Reactor feature. Using Remote Data Collection, Reactor has the ability to access up to 16 remote sensors on any of the first 16 wireless Fusion controllers that are connected to the Remote Access group. Reactor can be configured to control relays automatically based on remote sensor values.
I2C Communication
I2C PortsSelect Fusion I2C capable devices support at least two I2C communication ports (Port 0 and Port 1). Port 0 has a fixed communication rate of 100 KHz and may be used by NCD devices that contain integrated sensors, I/O Expanders, or other types of I2C devices. Though we may allow access to Port 0 on select controllers, Port 0 should generally be considered for use by the NCD products and peripheral devices. For instance, we may offer expansions that offer additional features by utilizing Port 0. Port 0 is typically accessed using the FXR Relay Expansion Port. I2C Port 1 is for general use by our customers. Port 1 is available for on AD8 Port 1 (shared with UXP Port 1) using I/O Lines 1 (SDA) and 2 (SCL). I2C Port 1 can be tuned for faster or slower speeds. Slower speeds allow Fusion controllers to communicate I2C data over longer distances while faster speeds offer greater compatibility.
Communication SpeedsFusion I2C Port 1 supports 500 Hz, 1 KHz, 10 KHz, 50 KHz, 100 KHz, and 130 KHz communication speeds (which has all been precisely timed with an oscilloscope), and supports I2C device clock stretching, as required by the I2C communication protocol (a feature often skipped by most I2C implementations). Development of the I2C communication routines were centered on a 24LC515 Non-Volatile EEPROM, and has been tested with various I2C sensors to prove functionality.
Communication FunctionsUse of I2C communication functions on Fusion series controllers require prior knowledge of I2C, as it is outside the scope of our documentation to go into a detailed explanation of the protocol. Here we will focus on the data exchange between a computer and the Fusion controller. The Fusion controller will manage the data exchange with the I2C device, greatly simplifying the amount of information that must be studied.
First Time UsersWhen working with I2C for the first time, it is helpful to use the 24LC515 EERPOM connected to a Fusion controller. The 24LC515 demonstrates 2-way communications with the device, showing you how to read and write data as shown in the sample provided in Base Station software.
Overview of I2CFor complete details on the I2C protocol there are many resources available online, some of which have some very good descriptions of the protocol itself. Most of the detailed protocol information may be skipped when working with a Fusion controller as the difficult part of communications is completely handled by the firmware. Even so, there are a few things you need to understand before you can successfully implement communications to an I2C device. Full descriptions can be found in the Fusion I2C Guide in the Data Sheets tab above.
Fusion Master Control PanelFusion Series controllers have some very important commands that warranted their own control panel. The Fusion Master Control Panel is used to control the performance of the Fusion CPU as well as control the three most important background tasks. The Fusion Master Control Panel also allows you to download and upload device settings to the controller. Great for backing up certain features of the Fusion controller.
Taralist Event ProcessingTurn Taralist Event Processing on or off with this control panel. When off, Taralist event processing will stop functioning, but the Taralist command set will continue to function.
Reactor Event ProcessingTurn Reactor Event Processing on or off with this control panel. When off, Reactor will stop evaluating sensors. Note that if this function is turned off, Remote Sensor Data Collection stops functioning, as remote data collection operates under Reactor. The interface will NOT reflect this condition, as the interface is designed to directly modify the on/off states of each of these three features. Turning off Reactor Processing does not turn off Remote Sensor Data Collection, but it does stop the task that calls Remote Data Collection.
Remote Sensor Data CollectionTurn Remote Sensor Data Collection off to stop communications with wireless sensors. This feature will stop functioning if Reactor Processing is stopped. Remote Data Collection is used by Reactor to access wireless sensors. Remote Access should be turned off when tunneling to another device or when sending commands to a remote device.
Reactor Event Processing SpeedReactor Event Processing Speed is used to control how fast Reactor reads sensors and makes decisions to control relays. Users might be tempted to set this value to full speed, however, this will affect performance of other background tasks and may cause relays to glitch on and off if a sensor is setting on the threshold of a relay control operation. Users should experiment with this setting, keeping in mind the default processing speed is 7. Small adjustments and experimentation is advised.
Remote Sensor Data Collection SpeedThe speed of Remote Sensor Data Collection can be adjusted using this control panel. This is a rather intensive operation for the Fusion controllers, as very large API packets of data must be assembled and sent as a background task. Decreasing this speed significantly increases the workload of the Fusion CPU. Experimentation is advised as this function will slow the performance of the CPU for other tasks, including communications with a computer. Users are advised to set this setting as high as possible so Fusion has plenty of time to service other tasks.
Sensor Trap TimeSensor Trapping is an experimental feature. If a sensor detects a value that is out of range, the sensor value can be trapped for the number of seconds defined by this setting. When the sensor is trapped, the actual value of the sensor will be ignored. Instead, the trapped value will be shared.
Power-Up StatesThe Power-Up State of Reactor, Taralist, and Remote Access may also be controlled from this control panel. Note that these functions modify internal EEPROM memory that is only examined when the controller first powers up.
Loading and Saving Fusion SettingsFusion Controllers contain EEPROM used to store various configuration settings. The Fusion Master Control Panel should be used to directly load and save EEPROM data into a Fusion controller.
Fusion - Built to Expand
16 Programmable I/O LinesFusion Series Controllers have 16 programmable I/O lines, which may be used for contact closure input, digital input, digital output, 8/10-Bit Analog to Digital Conversion, or I2C expansion. In most cases, these features may be mixed and matched as your application requires.
Read a Variety of SensorsFusion Series Relay Controllers know how to connect to your application. With a simple point and click configuration, you can read a variety of sensors in just a few minutes. Fusion will automatically monitor your sensor in the background and make relay control decisions if a sensor is tripped or goes outside an acceptable range.
Contact Closure Input CapabilitiesConfigure your Fusion Relay controller to read up to 16 contact closure inputs, making light work of complex relay control tasks. Connect magnet detection sensors, break-beam detectors, contact-closure output current sensors, or any kind of switch you can imagine. Fusion Series Relay Controllers will monitor your sensor and trigger relays or send a notification to your server if any sensor is triggered.
Digital I/O CapabilitiesWith 16 programmable I/O lines available, Fusion Relay Controllers can easily interface to a variety of logic circuits, ideal for the expert developer who needs low-level bit control. Program any I/O line as an input or output. Read and Write individual data bits or read and write data one 8-bit port at a time.
Analog to Digital ConversionFusion Series controllers include 16-Channels of Analog to Digital conversion, capable of reading many popular sensors with an output voltage of 0 to 5VDC. Interface to photocells for light sensing applications, thermostats for temperature sensing applications, or interface to potentiometers, current sensors, or any other device capable of providing a 0 to 5VDC output.
I2C CompatibilityFusion Series Controllers include a I2C port for access to devices such as gyroscopes, high-resolution analog to digital converters, digital to analog converters, port expanders, potentiometers, light, temperature, humidity sensors, and much more. A second "hidden" I2C bus in the Fusion Expansion Relay (FXR) Port allows us to develop a wide variety of I2C and Relay Expansion devices combined on a single expansion.
UXP Port CapabilitiesFusion Series controllers include TWO UXP Ports allowing interface to a variety of NCD expansion devices. Expand contact closure input detection up to 2,048 Channels per UXP Port. Add 16, 32, or 48-Channels of 12-Bit Analog-to-Digital Conversion per UXP port, expanding your Analog input capabilities up to 96-Channels per Fusion controller! Each UXP port is also capable of controlling 256 Potentiometer output channels. Connect a simple Breakout board to the UXP port to access the 8 programmable digital I/O or 8/10-Bit Analog input channels.
Distance Measurement CapabilitiesFusion Series controllers easily interface to Ultrasonic Transducers capable of accurately measuring distance up to 6 feet with .250" (6.35mm) resolution. Use Ultrasonic sensors to control relays if an obstruction is detected. Up to 8 ultrasonic transducers are supported by the Fusion series CPU.
FXR Expansion Port CapabilitiesFusion Series controllers are equipped with our Second Generation FXR Relay Expansion Port. The FXR Port carries the same relay control data as the XR Expansion port found in earlier controllers. Expansion boards can be added using the FXR expansion port and can control up to 2566 relays. Expansion boards are not available with 20 or 30 amp relays installed.

TLEE ModuleThe TLEE expansion module defines the way a Fusion controller is configured in Base Station software. The Fusion CPU has a small amount of memory used to store essential settings. By itself Fusion can do many things. However, the really powerful features require the memory resources of the TLEE expansion module. The TLEE Module is required for most Reactor (Sensor Control) Features, all Taralist (Time Schedules) features and Push Notification. Not required for all functions so we offer it as an option at checkout.

Interface to photocells for light sensing applications, thermistors for temperature sensing applications, or interface to potentiometers, current sensors, or any other device capable of providing a 0 to 5VDC output.
Induction SuppressionControlling an inductive load using our relay controllers requires the use of induction suppression capacitors. The purpose of this capacitor is to absorb the high voltages generated by inductive loads, blocking them from the contacts of the relay. Without this capacitor, the lifespan of the relay will be greatly reduced. Induction can be so severe that it electrically interferes with the microprocessor logic of our controllers, causing relay banks to shut themselves down unexpectedly.
N-Button LiteN-Button Lite is software that allows you to configure buttons to control relays and read the status of those relays without programming. You can also create meters for reading variable input sensors connected to the board in real time!

Refitting of the shops and bars of the airport
The Airport Pau Pyrenees launched an ambitious project of recasting and improvement of spaces of trade and partly public restoration located and as a boarding room.
Various installations will intervene in several phases, of which first started at the beginning of July and the last will be completed at the end of 2019.
- In public zone at the ground floor of the terminal, a very new space will open in September in the form of combistore, instead of the old shop. Part of this space will accommodate a bar, equipped with a new external terrace; the other part will be devoted to a shop memories, regional products, Bookstore and press.
- As a boarding room, a new structure will be inaugurated in November, also in the form of combistore (bar and shop). The interior terrace will be increased instead of current bar, for a better comfort of the passengers.
The marked objective is to bring the experiment of the passengers and the visitors towards excellence, in particular thanks to a reconfiguration of the retail outlets, a modernization of the offer, innovating concepts and an extension of the opening hours.

NEW YORK (AP) — Beyonce is hoping that her ultra-revealing documentary will someday provide inspiration for Blue Ivy, the year-old daughter she and husband Jay-Z have.
"I hope that she will see all of the beautiful times (and) all the tough times that led up to her being here," the singer said Tuesday night at the New York premiere of her upcoming HBO documentary, "Life is But a Dream."
She added: "I'm hoping that ... it can comfort her and inspire her in her life when she needs it."
The autobiographical film takes a no-holds-barred look at the entertainer. It stems from personal conversations the 31-year old singer made using the video camera on her computer over the past couple of years. It also includes home movies of the Grammy-winning singer and her two sisters.
In the film, Beyonce candidly discusses personal matters like her miscarriage, reports of faking her pregnancy, and firing her father as her manager.
She claims the process of talking into a camera to get all her thoughts out was therapeutic.
"I really grew so much," she says of the process. "This movie has really been my therapy. I've healed from so many wounds and I've been able to understand why some of the things I've been through, why I went through, so feel really proud, and hopefully I can inspire other people."
The singer has been private about her life in the past. But she felt the time was right to let people know how she felt.
"I felt that after 16 years of being a public singer, people didn't know who I was," she admitted. But then she added: "I will always keep certain things to myself because it's only natural."
Oprah Winfrey made a surprise visit to the premiere, and posed with Beyonce on the red carpet. Before going into the Ziegfeld Theatre, Winfrey, known for her tough, results-driven interview style, was asked if this was the kind of story she would have done on Beyonce.
She said Beyonce did a "much better job" of telling her own story. "I wouldn't have been in the bedroom and in the closet and in the car and on vacation," she said.
Beyonce acted as the film's executive producer and co-directed it with Ed Burke. He previously worked on some of her video projects. "Life is But a Dream" airs Saturday on HBO.

text: A Blue View is a weekly perspective on the life aquatic, hosted by National Aquarium CEO John Racanelli. From the smallest plants and animals invisible to the human eye to entire ecosystems, every living thing depends on and is intricately linked by water. Tune in to 88.1 WYPR every Tuesday at 5:45 p.m. as John brings to the surface important issues and fascinating discoveries making waves in the world today. July 24, 2013: Coral Reefs: Rainforests of the Sea Click here to listen to John discuss the importance of protection coral reefs. Sometimes called the rainforests of the sea, coral reefs are colorful, intricate ecosystems—among the most incredible natural wonders in the world. Their brilliant hues and diverse inhabitants make them a favorite of scuba divers and ocean enthusiasts around the world. But, coral reefs are also in grave danger—and saving these ancient splendors is both a necessary and feasible goal. Our newest exhibit, Blacktip Reef, is the re-creation of a vibrant Indo-Pacific reef! According to a report by the World Resources Institute, 75 percent of the world's reefs are considered threatened due to a combination of risks. Climate change has made bleaching, which is a massive die-off of coral polyps, and disease outbreaks more common. Increased carbon in our oceans results in ocean acidification, which, in turn, destroys the very structure of the reef. Overfishing and destructive fishing practices are disturbing the balance of these complex ecosystems. Coastal development, pollution, coral mining, and unsustainable tourism activities are adding additional stresses to an already challenged habitat. Some scientists fear that at this rate, living coral reefs could vanish from earth within a generation unless drastic action is taken. Surprisingly, while coral reefs make up just two-tenths of a percent of the ocean floor, they support about 25 percent of all marine animals. They are critical spawning, nursery, breeding, and feeding grounds for thousands of species. Many people don't realize that corals are in fact animals, closely related to jellyfish and anemones. There are both hard and soft corals, and all live together in colonies, creating a foundation for all the other inhabitants of the reef, from tiny darting fishes to large apex predators like sharks and everything in between. There's no question that these ecosystems are environmentally critical, but they are also important economic drivers, creating millions of jobs and providing a sustainable tourism resource when properly managed. Coral reefs also serve as natural barriers for islands and other communities, helping to prevent erosion and minimizing the impact of waves and storms. In fact, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, up to 90 percent of the energy from wind-generated waves is absorbed by reefs. NOAA also estimates that ocean temperature will rise nearly two degrees within this century from the greenhouse gases already released, which will undoubtedly threaten these critical ecosystems even more. As marine scientists explore just how coral reefs will cope with increasing acidity in the world's oceans, it is abundantly clear that we must act to save these oceanic treasures. Scientists are now studying coral reefs along Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, where underwater springs naturally lower the pH of the surrounding seawater. There, researchers are learning how corals respond to higher acidity in a natural setting. On the other side of the world, a U.S. climate scientist is conducting an experiment on Australia's Great Barrier Reef to see whether antacid could boost coral growth by slowing seawater acidification. These researchers are taking threats to our coral reefs seriously, and we need to do the same. The single biggest thing you can do to slow the deterioration of reefs is to reduce your own carbon footprint by driving less and conserving energy at home. We can also to make sustainable seafood a priority and vigorously support steps to enforce proper management of these resources. We do well to remember that our actions on land—our stormwater, trash, and yard runoff—all eventually work their way to the sea and impact coral reefs. We can all keep coral reefs in mind as we go about our daily lives—and remember that water connects us all.

|Bob Nutting Believes Status Quo Equals Pirates Success

|1st Post
Papa Voo
|Here we go, again, more diversions and bullshit from Bob Nutting. No changes in the front office. No changes in scouting. Step right up! Step right up! Nutting is definitely turning into one of the biggest con men in professional sports.
Kovacevic: Nutting Chooses Failure
November 6, 2012
It took 42 days from the time Frank Coonelly, the Pirates' president, clumsily declared that all his lieutenants would be back for 2013 to make that official, but the only voice that counts finally spoke up.
"I'm not making a change," Bob Nutting began our meeting Tuesday at PNC Park.
And there it was, conveniently on the eve of Major League Baseball's general managers meetings that required the team to, you know, send a general manager.
Coonelly was safe.
So was Neal Huntington.
So were the two men that Huntington promoted to assistant GM last winter, Greg Smith and Kyle "Hoka Hey" Stark.
Nutting spent the better part of six weeks conducting what was in essence a one-man CSI of what's wrong with the Pirates. He talked with disillusioned front-office types, with several major-league players, with fired employees, even with other teams' executives during his trips to San Francisco and Detroit for the World Series.
He really did, too. I've spoken with a few of those he reached.
And yet, despite accumulating information that should have been the cherry on top to five years of abject failure, he chose status quo.
He chose failure.
Sure, he talked tough Tuesday, explained how he wants to keep studying, how nobody is safe …
"What we've been doing and what we'll continue to do is a comprehensive review," Nutting said. "But that is not a two-week or a four-week process. That is one that's going to continue as we evaluate every aspect of the organization."
But that's stale, and he knows it. It's weak. It's wishy-washy. Two epic collapses, born largely of a lack of depth and instruction, demanded so much more a reaction from the top.
We volleyed back and forth in a conference room for a half-hour, just he and I, and upon exiting I was left with one gnawing question. Same one I've asked countless times in years of covering this miserable franchise.
How do these guys sleep?
Not just Nutting. All of them.
Professional sports is about winning. It requires a competitive spirit, a consuming desire to win. It can be as outward as that of Mark Cuban or private as that of the Rooneys and Mario Lemieux, but it's got to be in there.
Where, exactly, is that found with these Pittsburgh Pirates?
Nutting stuck by Coonelly, whose numerous public messes included keeping front-office extensions and his own DUI secret for months and who, in actual job performance, has shown no benefit to having a non-baseball man holding final say on all baseball decisions.
Nutting stuck by Huntington, whose 337-472 major-league record is worse than Cam Bonifay or Dave Littlefield and who has flubbed free agency, trades, the draft and just last month said of Stark's militaristic tactics in the minors: "I believe in what we're doing and how we're doing it."
Oops! More on that in a bit.
Nutting stuck by the lead scout Smith, too, despite expressing more disappointment about the paltry return for $52 million in draft spending than anything else.
Nutting even stuck by Stark.
This one I don't get at all.
On one hand, Nutting issued the most powerful rebuke possible to Stark's methods: He ordered them to cease immediately.
"I believe that our primary responsibility is to develop baseball players to play baseball and win championships at PNC Park," Nutting said. "We are not and we should not be a military organization. We should not run a boot-camp environment."
And on the other hand, he kept Stark on the payroll.
I'll remind: This military stuff wasn't just about three days of SEALS training in September, during which outfield prospect Gregory Polanco reinjured his ankle in a silly water-and-sand drill. It was about Stark pushing this mindset and these practices all year round. Remember, his infamous "Hoka Hey" email was sent in midsummer, not for the SEALS event.
This practice was the very essence of what Stark was doing, and somehow he will survive its demise.
So will farm director Larry Broadway, who never taught baseball anywhere after his minor-league playing career.
It's astonishing that Nutting, who is not a stupid man, sees these two as being the Pirates' best possible options on the planet for those two positions.
It would be more astonishing if Nutting thinks any of these gentlemen will change. If so, he must have missed this quote from Huntington in September: "There are a lot of really good baseball people in the industry who feel very differently than our fans do about what we're accomplishing."
Get that?
The Pirates are smart, you're dumb, and all those pesky losses don't take into account the magnificent process behind the curtain.
Oz has spoken.

Olympian Amy Van Dyken-Rouen honored at Excelsior's Speakeasy Soiree
No secret password was needed to enter this Speakeasy Soiree. All that was required was the price of a ticket and a desire to help support Excelsior and its work on behalf of teens who could use a little tough love and TLC.
The costumes-encouraged gala chaired by Tina Lovelace Sporkin and Ashley Prust also was the occasion for Excelsior to honor its 2016 Triumphant Woman, six-time Olympic gold medalist Amy Van Dyken-Rouen for the sheer determination she has exhibited as she recovers from an all-terrain vehicle accident that left her a paraplegic. The champion swimmer, who attended the event with her husband, former Denver Bronco Tom Rouen, has vowed to walk again.
In addition to witnessing the presentation of the Triumphant Woman award, the 500-plus guests also heard chief executive officer Susan Hebert share some exciting news about Excelsior.
In the past year, Hebert said, "We've had a complete brand overhaul," a move that includes shortening the name from Excelsior Youth Center to Excelsior, serving boys as well as girls and opening a community-based services office in Englewood that will serve up to 250 young people and their families, enhancing and expanding the residential care services offered at Excelsior's headquarters in Aurora.

The fun didn't end once dinner, the program and an auction called by Reggie Rivers concluded. Four Specialty Speakeasy Lounges opened, offering not bathtub gin but top-shelf wines, whiskey and tequila.
The lounges were sponsored by Infiniti of Denver, Syntrinsic Investment Counsel, Woodhouse Day Spa and Excelsior, and in addition to the beverages had sweets and coffee for all to enjoy.
Previous Triumphant Women attending this year's celebration included Jamie Angelich (2012); Sheryl Renee (2010), Lisza Gulyas and Jill Farquhar (2009) and Glory Weisberg (2008).
Angelich also served on the gala's executive committee, along with Jeanie Curley, Melissa Grandchamp, Ashi Kitchlew, Lois Paul, Juli Schuett, Carmel Scopelliti, Kelly Spencer, Cynthia Treadwell and Natisha Walton.
Others there to support the cause were LaFawn Biddle and Barbara Galoob Green; Victoria Gartelos; Amber Human and Luke Deavers; Mikki Kragenbrink; Betsy and Kevin Marr; Aquilla McKnight; Sandee Walling; Fred Churbuck; Deborah Massey; Stephanie Doss Odak; Wayne Connell; BJ Dyer, whose floral company Bouquets did the decor; Lois Melkonian and Art Raymond; John and Kathleen Stubbs; Glenda Rainold; and Dana Rodriguez, co-owner/chef at Work & Class restaurant and one of the four chefs that donated to the evening's raffle.
Sponsored by Zonta Club II of Denver, the Four Fabulous In-Home Dinner Parties for Ten will feature Rodriguez's taco fiesta, a winter sushi-making class and party hosted by Jesus Silva (Osaka Ramen, Sushi-Rama and Silva's Fish Market); a summer barbecue presided over by Tim Kuklinski (Rioja) and a spring local harvest dinner with Adam Branz from Bistro Vendome in the kitchen.

Welcome to the
Gazetteer for Scotland
The Gazetteer for Scotland is a vast geographical encyclopaedia, featuring details of towns, villages, bens and glens from the Scottish Borders to the Northern Isles. The first comprehensive gazetteer produced for Scotland since 1885, it includes tourist attractions, industries and historical sites, together with histories of family names and clans, biographies of famous Scots and descriptions of historical events associated with Scotland. The network of connections between all of these entries make this gazetteer unique. We have included the text of Groome's 19th Century Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland to provide a historical perspective on many of the places we describe.
With at least 26066 detailed entries, the Gazetteer is the largest dedicated Scottish resource created for the web, yet it is growing constantly, with some 18 entries added or updated in the last week alone. Please look at 'Gaz Stats' for more information.

This Gazetteer is being developed by Bruce Gittings of the University of Edinburgh and the Royal Scottish Geographical Society.

pHion Green Superfood - Powder
If you want your system to be pH balanced, the way nature intended, you need to eat more alkalizing foods (such as green veggies) than acidifying foods (such as meat, cooked and processed foods, and processed sugars).
Even the most devoted students of pH balance can have trouble including enough alkalizing foods in their diet. That's why pHion Green Superfood Powder is so essential. pHion Green Superfood contains 30 different raw alkalizing juices and foods that are so alkalizing, they easily make up for the gaps in your diet.
Unlike ordinary greens, pHion Green Superfood Powder contains only alkaline ingredients from different grasses, veggies, low sugar fruits and sprouts. And pHion Green Superfood tastes SO GOOD you'll forget it's green.
pHion Green Superfood Advantages
In developed countries, we pretty much eat the opposite of how our bodies were designed to eat. The human body thrives when it maintains a slightly alkaline pH - in other words, a pH that's between 7.0 - 7.25. (The pH scale goes from 0-14, where 0 is very acidic and 14 is very alkaline.) How do you achieve that magic pH balance? Primarily by eating the right balance of foods.
Think of your diet like a math equation. In this math equation, alkalizing foods (mainly vegetables and some fruits) all score well over 7.0. And acidifying foods, which include just about everything else we eat (meat, poultry, pasteurized dairy products, processed grains, packaged foods, trans-fats, and processed sugar), all score under 7.0.
In order to ensure that your body is at a nice 7.25, you have to eat more alkalizing foods than acidifying ones. In fact, many experts - including Dr. Christopher Vasey - recommend a two-thirds to one-third ratio.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans do the opposite. They eat two-thirds (or more) acidifying foods and only one-third (or less) alkalizing foods. That's why a greens product like pHion Green Superfood Powder is so essential.
We've made it easy to be green!
No one expects you to always eat a diet of two-thirds alkalizing foods and one-third acidifying. That would be nice, and we certainly recommend it, but we're also realists here at pHion. That's why we developed pHion Green Superfood.
pHion Green Superfood powder contains ober 30 different ingredients - including alkalizing organic grass juices, alkalizing veggies, alkalizing sprouts, and alkalizing low sugar fruits. The ingredients in pHion Green are so alkalizing, they easily make up for the gaps in your diet. So basically, in 30 seconds you can get your greens for the entire day.
Not only are these greens, veggies, sprouts and fruits alkalizing, they're also a concentrated source of nutrition, delivering a wealth of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, chlorophyll, enzymes, and phyto-nutrients. In fact, just one teaspoon of pHion Green
Superfood powder provides the nutrient equivalent of one pound of vegetables!
And best of all, the grasses in pHion Green Superfood powder are certified organic. So you don't have to worry about pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fumigants, or any other garbage ending up in your green drink.
More absorbable too!
The last thing that makes pHion Green Superfood powder superior to the other green drinks on the market is that we've included Alkazyme in our formula. Alkazyme is a patented blend of enzymes that allows the ingredients in pHion Green Powder to be up to 48% more bioavailable than those in other products.
Product Ingredients:
Chlorophyll: The Secret Power Behind Green Foods
All of the alkalizing greens in pHion Green Superfood get their color from chlorophyll - the same pigment that makes vegetables like spinach and kale dark green.
Chlorophyll aids in detoxifying the blood and liver. Initial research validates this usage: Several test tube and animals studies have shown that chlorophyll inhibits abnormal cellular changes caused by toxic agents.
The amazing blend of 30 ingredients contained within pHion Green can be divided into three main categories: Alkalizing Organic Cereal Grasses, Alkalizing Veggies and Alkalizing Sprouts. We've also included Alkazyme - an enzyme blend for optimal absorption of all the ingredients.
pHion Green Superfood contains: Organic Wheat Grass Juice, Organic Barley Grass Juice, Organic Kamut Grass Juice, Organic Oat Grass Juice and Organic Alfalfa Juice.
Alkalizing Veggies & Low Sugar Fruits: Why not get some of your veggies the easy way, with pHion Green Superfood?
pHion Green contains: Broccoli Juice Powder, Carrot Juice Powder, Cucumber Powder, Cauliflower, Green Cabbage Juice Powder, Kale Juice Powder, Kelp, Aloe Vera, Parsley Juice Powder, Spinach Juice Powder, Tomato Juice Powder, Brussels Sprout Powder, Asparagus Juice Powder, Green Bell Pepper Powder, Bamboo Shoot, Chicory, Garlic, Ginger, Lo Han Guo, Radish, Red Beet Juice Powder, Spirulina, Watercress, Grapefruit, Lemon Juice Powder, Lime Juice Powder.
Alkalizing Sprouts: Sprouts may contain concentrations of various compounds at levels far beyond what is seen in the mature plant.
pHion Green contains: Amaranth Sprouts, Broccoli Sprouts, Fenugreek Sprouts, Kamut Sprouts, Millet Sprouts, Quinoa Sprouts and Spelt Sprouts.
Cerecalase - pHion Green Superfood Powder is specially formulated with Alkazyme. This patented, proprietary blend of enzymes - and the minerals that activate them - helps you break down and utilize all the greens in pHion Green Powder. Nine years of clinical research has shown that Alkazyme increases the bioavailability of ingredients by 12-48%!

World Vegetarian Day is being held on Oct. 1, which is also the kickoff of vegetarian awareness month.
Some of you may know that I'm an on-again/off-again vegetarian. I've had a couple of vegetarian stints in my life. I haven't eaten red meat for about 9 years, but I do currently eat poultry and fish on occasion. For the most part, I try to make a variety of vegetarian meals, but meat is sometimes a part of our diet.
Wondering what the big deal is and why vegetarianism so important?
Some of the Benefits of Vegetarianism are:
• reducing the risk of major killers like heart disease, stroke and cancers while cutting exposure to food borne pathogens;
• offering a viable answer to feeding the world's hungry, through more efficient use of grains and other crops;
• saving animals from suffering in factory farm conditions and from painful slaughter;
• conserving vital, but limited freshwater, fertile topsoil and other precious resources;
• preserving irreplaceable ecosystems, such as rainforests and other wildlife habitats;
• mitigating the ever-expanding environmental pollution of animal agriculture; and the list goes on.
Eating vegetarian doesn't just mean salads and veggie burgers (though it certainly can). There's a whole world of tasty, meatless meals out there. 🙂 To help you commit to going meat-free on Oct. 1, I'm listing some of my favorite vegetarian recipes that I've blogged about in the past:
- Grilled Panini with provolone and basil
- Oat Nut scones
- Six Vegetarian recipes includes: Vegetarian Minestrone Soup, Pumpkin and Black Bean Soup, Spinach and Sun-dried Tomato Pasta, Tortilla Lasagna with Swiss Chard, Banana-Cornmeal Pancakes, and Rotelle Primavera
- Granola Bars sans Allergies
- Avocado Hummus
- Carrot Ginger Soup
- Chickpe Lunch and Kentucky Fried (Baked) Tofu
- Peanut butter Tofu stirfry
- Vegetarian Chili
- Pseudo Indian dinner and Chocolate-covered peanut butter balls
- For more vegetarian recipes, click on over to Vegetarian Times (which is a great magazine whether you are vegetarian or not)
- Looking for something even easier? How about cheese pizza and salad, or using veggie crumbles instead of ground beef/turkey in your tacos, spaghetti or otherwise generally meaty meal? You could do grilled cheese sandwiches and vegetable soup. Breakfast for dinner (eggs, quiche and/or pancakes) is always fun too.
Are your taste buds tantalized? Feeling hungry? Feeling motivated? If you want join me in pledging to have a meat-free day on Oct. 1, please sign Mr. Linky below. (Already vegetarian or vegan? Awesome! Please sign up and join in too!) I'm personally going to try my best to make the whole month of October as meat-free as possible for me and my family. I've been on a roll already this week making only vegetarian meals (some of which I need to post on here and add to the list).
If you feel so inclined, please feel free to snag my button (above) and blog about this too – linking back to this post if you like. We don't have much time before Oct. 1, so I hope some of you will spread the word. Feel free to share any vegetarian recipes you have on your blog. The more people we can have join in, the merrier! 🙂

Chanel Fall 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
by Melissa Tunstall
Want to know what fashion global domination looks like? Look no further than the Chanel ready-to-wear fall 2013 collection. A massive illuminated globe, with the CC logos shining on all of the store locations across the world, sat in the center of the catwalk and visually highlighted the force that Chanel is. Karl Lagerfeld seems to be able to do no wrong, as proven by his super prowess across the universe, and this collection just attests this fact further.
Playing with texture and volume, this collection managed to make people ask how it was possible. Knitwear pleats that weren't heavy looking? Chanel did it. Jackets that appeared warm but not bulky? Oh, those were in the collection. Of course the tweed and chain link purses made appearances on the runway but in updated manners.
Printed denim and fuzzy, colorful hats added some whimsy the collection, but the thigh-high leather boots and mini-skirts definitely brought the sexiness. Touches of grunge mixed with a traveler vibe made the mainly black and white collection seem deeper. Sheer fabrics, which have been a major trend this runway season, even found its way onto a few pieces.
What's next after global domination? Who knows, but we're anxious and excited to see what Mr. Lagerfeld has up his sleeves to add to his reign.
