Joseph Conrad in the preface to the Nigger of the Narcissus wrote:
The sincere endeavour to accomplish that creative task, to go as far on that road as his strength will carry him, to go undeterred by faltering, weariness, or reproach, is the only valid justification for the worker in prose. And if his conscience is clear, his answer to those who, in the fullness of a wisdom which looks for immediate profit, demand specifically to be edified, consoled, amused; who demand to be promptly improved, or encouraged, or frightened, or shocked, or charmed, must run thus: My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word to make you hear, to make you feel - it is, before all, to make you see. That - and no more, and it is everything. If I succeed, you shall find there according to your deserts: encouragement, consolation, fear, charm - all you demand - and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask.
Peter Høeg's fourth novel is not easy to categorize. Robert Spillman has described it as "a feminist/animal-liberationist/futurist/social-disaster thriller." It is at once a tale of personal transformation, an ecological morality tale, a quest story, and above all a love story. Høeg, as evidenced in this English translation, succeeds admirably in just the way Conrad describes in the famous passage quoted above. The Woman and the Ape provides a moving story that will indeed make you hear, feel, and see. And, on the way to the exciting conclusion, you will experience a full range of emotions: delight, awe, shock, fear, wonder, and above all a sense of connectedness.
The woman in The Woman and the Ape is an upper-crust Dane, now married to a British gentleman, who in the course of the novel will come to discover who she is after years of being stifled by a masculine world controlled first by her father and then by her husband. Her father, who had become rich by building cowsheds for Danish farmers, thus allowing them to increase the production of farm animals for slaughter, referred to her as "Madelene, who is nothing really" was only too glad that she had found a husband of class. Living in London she initially responds to her insulated life by turning to alcohol, large quantities of the strongest alcohol she can decanter. As we first meet her she is preparing to face the day and her husband by applying her makeup in her bedroom as she has for the "five hundred and twenty-nine days of her marriage" – a morning ritual which was the prologue to a daily routine:
She would now get up and go down to the kitchen for a chat …about housekeeping. From there she would proceed to the terrace to exchange a few words … After that she would go up to town to do some shopping, or play tennis, or go riding on Hampstead Heath. She would then take a stroll with a woman friend and be back home by five p. m. in order to welcome Adam home at seven.
What keeps Madelene Burden going in this eternity of boredom and superficiality is alcohol. In a revelation worthy of Evelyn Waugh, Høeg surprises us at the appropriate moment with a surprise, "Then she did as she always did. She took a pipette from a wire shelf, a Pyrex flask from a cupboard, a little measuring glass from a drying rack. ... and drew off eight ounces of 99.6 percent alcohol for hospital and laboratory use. She then topped up the flask with distilled water ... the resulting liquid was 55 percent alcohol. She knocked back the first half glass."
But all of this is about to change for "An ape is approaching London." An ape indeed! A very special ape. A previously unknown species of ape has allowed itself to be captured by humans and is on its way to try to teach us something of ecology, of love and of life. After Madelene comes in contact with the ape she is slowly transformed into a new person who no longer needs alcohol to get her through the daily routine.
As Madelene plots to save the ape from her husband's "research" plans the plot becomes full of surprises and of touching moments of tenderness and insight. Looking for a safe place away from the city of London for Erasmus (the ape) she suddenly realizes that there was no end to the city and that civilization and the city "had totally enmeshed the globe. There was no longer any outside for the ape at her elbow."
Erasmus is, we discover, not the only one of this new species residing in London. In a rollicking final scene reminiscent of Kingsley Amis's Lucky Jim much more than expected is revealed to those who have come to the opening ceremony of the new London Zoo which is to be the home of the newest ape species. At the end of the novel the ape that sailed into London sails out of London having brought his massage of connection to a species that is, it seems, incapable of hearing the message.
Høeg's novel is a witty and rewarding thriller that mixes just the right amounts of fantasy, biology, and cultural criticism to produce a work that fulfills admirably the recipe for success provided by Joseph Conrad. In the end Høeg presents a work of fiction in which "you shall find there according to your deserts: encouragement, consolation, fear, charm - all you demand - and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask."

So, there is this little girl. Her name is Aeryn.
Aeryn loves capes. And tutus.
She wears her tutu - bestowed upon her by her aunt the Queen of Special Gifts - every day. All day.
And she pins a towel around her neck, because she really NEEDS a cape. Really. A special girl like Aeryn should never have to wear a towel instead of a real cape. Really.
So the Queen of Special Gifts commissioned her friend - creator of all things wonderful to create a cape for Aeryn.
So now Aeryn the Prodigious Princess has a cape!
And when she needs to get down to her secret super-hero business she slips out her princess feathers and turns magically into Aeryn the Red Rampage....
Or, she can reverse her cape and become Aeryn the Pink Protector of the Populace!

Jungmann Amongmann September Call-Ups
(Yeah, I went there.)
The Milwaukee Brewers officially announced their group of September call-ups on Tuesday afternoon.
As I reported Monday evening, Taylor Jungmann is among those called up. Jungmann has worked hard to regain his form in the minors this season following his demotion on April 29.
"It was a process going through that, " Jungmann told me. "It was a struggle. It was frustrating at times."
He needed to rein in his mechanics to get himself through those frustrations, but the high altitudes in Colorado Springs were not exactly conducive. "I'm not even talking about that place, " Jungmann said with a smile.
It got to the point with the Sky Sox where Jungmann was mentally beaten down. He was given some time off from the struggle to reset mentally by being sent to Maryvale and working with the group in extended Spring Training.
"I really think that was a turning point. I was glad that they allowed me to do that. It was a situation where I was struggling pretty bad, " Jungmann admitted. "It was some time to really work on my mechanics and throw a couple of live [batting practices] where I could get in a situation where I wasn't trying to compete too hard or overdo it or have to worry about results."
When it was time to begin worrying again, the Brewers transferred Jungmann to Double-A Biloxi
"No. I wasn't taking [the transfer] as a demotion, " recalled Jungmann. "We kind of talked about it. We just wanted to get me…in a situation and environment where I could succeed. I think it was good for me."
The overarching theme to Jungmann's response are that he needed to get back to being himself. Being himself was good enough to compete in the big leagues once, after all.
"Really just trying to get back to who I am, not trying to be somebody else. Really just sticking with my mechanics and trusting them and just getting back to where I was and trusting it is the biggest thing."
Jungmann admitted that he hadn't yet had the conversations about what role he would play in September. Asked later, manager Craig Counsell said that at least over the next nine days, Jungmann's role would be out of the bullpen but that he hadn't made any decisions about the rotation beyond that. There is a chance some guys might reach innings limits and there would be a chance for Jungmann to possibly start.
The big Texan is worried about that just yet though.
"I'm just glad to be here, glad to get another opportunity to show that I can throw and get back to where I was."
2016 Arizona Fall League Participants Announced
The Milwaukee Brewers have announced six player who will be participating in the 2016 edition of the Arizona Fall League — the annual showcase and proving grounds for many an up and coming prospect. (There will be a seventh player participating on their behalf as well but the Brewers are taking more time to determine who that will be before making an announcement.)
The Arizona Fall League ("AFL") is a six-team league wherein prospects from five different MLB organizations combine forces to fill out each roster. The teams in the AFL are the Glendale Desert Dogs, Mesa Solar Sox, Peoria Javelinas, Salt River Rafters, Scottsdale Scorpions, and Surprise Saguaros.
This year the Brewers contingent will join forces with players from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Atlanta Braves, Colorado Rockies, and Detroit Tigers. And after spending the last four years bouncing back and forth between Desert Dogs and Saguaros, the Brewers will play this season for the Salt River Rafters. That team plays their home games at the much-lauded Salt Rivers Fields at Talking Stick which the Diamondbacks and Rockies share during Cactus League play in Spring Training.
Here are the players the Brewers will be sending to the AFL along with some information (statistical and otherwise) from their individual 2016 regular seasons.

Roster Moves Made In Advance of Weekend Series
A handful of roster moves were made by the Brewers in advance of their Friday night series opener in Seattle against the Mariners.
Outfielder Domingo Santana — limited by injuries most of the year and officially injured since June 9 — was reinstated from the 15-day Disabled List. Santana is coming off of his second rehab assignment after his first attempt was cut short upon a recurrence of elbow soreness.
Brewers manager Craig Counsell had said that Santana required between 20 and 30 plate appearances to really gauge where Santana was physically and to get him used to seeing live pitching again. Santana accomplished that between Class-A and Class-AAA, finishing his rehab assignment with a three-hit, two-walk night at the plate which included two doubles, two runs scored, and five runs batted in.
To clear space on the 25-man roster for Santana's return, right-handed pitcher Damien Magnifico was down optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs. The hard-throwing reliever was a bit erratic during his first big league call-up but fell victim to injuries to others as much as anything else. The Brewers played in a doubleheader on Tuesday in Chicago, the second game of which saw starting pitcher Chase Anderson leave early after being struck by his eleventh pitch when Kris Bryant returned it to sender at 107 miles per hour off the bat. The bullpen, having already covered a short start in the day game of the split card, were nearly maxed out. Anderson evaded serious injury and should be available out of the bullpen this weekend on his throw day as he looks to avoid the DL altogether.
That doubleheader necessitated a spot starter Friday night in Seattle. With the injured Junior Guerra not quite ready to return from his own DL stint, the Brewers decided to purchase the contract of left-handed pitcher Brent Suter.
Suter, who turns 27 in 10 days, has pitched for Colorado Springs all season. He has posted a 3.50 ERA in 110.2 innings pitched across 26 total appearances, 15 of which have been starts. Suter is a zone pounder who allows his defense to work. This is evidenced by his modest strikeout total (75) but even more so by his miniscule 14 walks allowed.
In order to purchase Suter's contract, a spot on the 40-man roster was needed. With the return of Santana, the spot was freed up by designating the no-longer-needed and ultimately ineffective Ramon Flores. Flores, coincidentally, acquired over this past off-season from the Seattle Mariners, was given plenty of opportunities in the wake of injuries to Santana and Ryan Braun but ultimately couldn't seize the chance and establish himself as a part of the future. It was a failed experiment but a worthwhile one by a transitioning team which the Brewers certainly are.
Santana joins Suter by starting tonight's game, with Santana reclaiming his familiar right field defensive assignment.
When the game officially begins, Suter will end a run of 474 consecutive games wherein the Brewers would send a right-handed pitcher to take the ball first. That's the second-longest streak in Major League Baseball history behind only a stretch by the Dodgers from September 25, 1992 through July 12, 1997.
Brewers Claim Scahill
The Milwaukee Brewers just announced that they have been awarded a waiver claim on right-handed relief pitcher Rob Scahill, late of the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.
Scahill, 29, has made 28 combined appearances during the 2016 regular seasons of the Pirates (15 games) and their Triple-A affiliate the Indianapolis Indians (13). He's combined to post a 4.19 ERA in 34.1 IP. (That's a 4.00 ERA in 18.0 Triple-A innings and a 4.41 ERA in 16.1 IP in MLB this year, for the record.)
Following a 147 ERA+ (100 is league average) in 2015 where Scahill allowed just nine earned runs in 30.2 MLB innings across 28 games, the Illinois-native is somewhat ironically producing some better peripherals but with a much higher resultant ERA his ERA+ in 2016 is just 95. Not bad but certainly not as good.
One could likely assume that the Brewers' pro scouting department sees some rebound capability in Scahill based on these statistical comparisons.
- '15: .309 BAbip | '16: .347 BAbip
So like I said, good peripherals, better than 2015, but lesser results to this point. About the only thing working against Scahill is line drive percentage (up to 32% from 24%) which does explain some of the other results, but that could be correctable.
Along with the announcement of the claim — which once again fills the Brewers' 40-man roster — is the news that Scahill was immediately optioned down to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Scahill is also no stranger to that rare air having pitches in the Rockies organization for six seasons after being drafted by them in the 8th round in 2009. Scahill pitched parts of three minor-league seasons for the Sky Sox.
More Thoughts on the Aftermath of Hill Shipping Up to Boston
First, here's how the official press release announcing the trade of Aaron Hill was written, in case you haven't seen it.
The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired right-handed pitcher Aaron Wilkerson and second baseman Wendell Rijo from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for infielder Aaron Hill and cash. The announcement was made by General Manager David Stearns.
"In Aaron Wilkerson, we are adding a starting pitcher who has had tremendous success in the minor leagues and could be an asset to the Major League team in the near future," said Stearns. "Wendell Rijo adds even more young talent and strength up the middle to our organization."
Wilkerson, 27, had been pitching this season at Triple-A Pawtucket, where he was 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA in 9 games (8 starts). He was holding International League opponents to a .223 batting average (41-for-184, 5hr) with 54 strikeouts in just 48.0 innings pitched. He also pitched at Double-A Portland this season, going 2-1 with a 1.83 ERA in 8 starts. While at Portland, he held Eastern League opponents to a .175 batting average (28-for-160, 2hr) with 48 strikeouts in just 44.1 innings pitched.
Wilkerson, who was signed by Boston as a non-drafted free agent on July 18, 2014, owns an impressive career minor-league record of 22-7 with a 2.52 ERA in 54 games (44 starts). He has produced 293 strikeouts in just 279.0 innings pitched.
Prior to joining the Red Sox organization, the product of Cumberland University (TN), pitched the 2013 season for three independent league teams: Fort Worth – United League Baseball; Florence – Frontier League and Grand Prairie – American Association.
Rijo, 20, began the 2016 season at Double-A Portland, where he appeared in 51 games. He was transferred to Class-A Salem in late June and appeared in 11 games there prior to today's trade.
Born in La Romana in the Dominican Republic, Rijo was signed by Boston as an international free agent on July 6, 2012. He owns a career batting average of .250 with 16 HR, 129 RBI and 50 stolen bases in 333 minor-league games (2012-2016). Following last season, he was ranked as the 15th-best prospect in the Red Sox organization and 19th-best prospect in the Carolina League by Baseball America.
Hill, 34, was acquired by Milwaukee last January 30 from Arizona, along with right-handed pitcher Chase Anderson, shortstop Isan Diaz and cash, in exchange for shortstop Jean Segura and right-handed pitcher Tyler Wagner. He batted .283 (72-for-254) with 8 HR and 29 RBI in 78 games with the Brewers, making 71 starts (55g at 3B, 16g at 2B).
"Along with his statistical contributions, we thank Aaron for his veteran leadership and versatility during his time as a Brewer," said Stearns.
For my thoughts on the trade both from the viewpoint of the Red Sox as well as the Brewers, check out my article over at Today's Knuckleball by clicking here.
What I didn't say there because it really didn't fit is how this move is just the first salvo in what should be an incredibly busy month for David Stearns and company.
They have a plethora of movable assets and of those many that teams should desire to varying degrees. He even has assets that he'll get calls on but shouldn't move as they have a chance to be key parts of the future contender.
Here's a quick list (alphabetical by last name) with a blurb as to why each could be moved. Oh, and let me say here that I'm not including Braun because I don't believe he'll be moved and I don't feel like writing up a section about why Stearns would move him.
- Blaine Boyer
- Why you would move him: Really playing well (outside of San Francisco) and has shown the ability handle higher-leverage innings. Wasn't expected to give you much when signing as a non-roster invitee to Spring Training so anything you could get in trade is a bonus from that aspect. All relief pitchers, middle relievers chief among them, are volatile meaning capitalizing on their value when you can should be considered. Plus, Boyer turns 35 next week so you can't count on him as a part of the future here in Milwaukee.
- Why you wouldn't: I guess you wouldn't if no one asked you to. Really, in Boyer's case where he was a flier on a team looking for roleplayer bullpen arms Boyer has positioned himself to potentially be of value to a contender who isn't getting enough mileage out of their current group (like the Cubs, for instance). There are a bunch of teams who could use an arm like Boyer's.
- Chris Carter
- Why you would move him: Having a good bounce-back year as he desired when signing here, has shown he can play everyday defense at 1B. Would be more expensive next year (though under team control for a time yet) and could cool off limiting trade value in the off-season or next year.
- Why you wouldn't: He's still quite inexpensive for the level of production he's giving even with the 2nd year of arbitration eligibility looming (using this year's one-year price as the starting point should temper the bottom line) and while there are some intriguing first basemen in the system, no one is exactly busting down the door to take the job in 2017. Carter could be move next July the same as this July plus most contenders who would covet the kind of power Carter would add to a lineup have solutions at first base already so the return might not enough during the year when the trade partner pool is limited.
- Matt Garza
- Why you would move him: He hasn't performed particularly well over the last year and a half when healthy enough to pitch. He still has talent though and a change of scenery and pitching philosophy (despite there being a new pitching coach with Milwaukee this year) could benefit him. Garza is a competitor in the truest sense of the word and might subconsciously lock in if pitching in games that mean more. The main reason though is that despite his veteran leadership, the Brewers have been amassing a handful of knocking-on-the-door starting pitchers would need to be given big league chances (in some cases second chances) before 2018. Moving Garza frees up a spot for that to happen. The pool of available starting pitching isn't exactly a robust one this year either so that could lead someone to giving Garza a shot like James Shields to the White Sox.
- Why you wouldn't: If Stearns couldn't get what he considers to be fair value, then you can give Garza more time this season to prove what he still has left in the tank. He's a guy who is tradeable come August so you don't have to force the issue this month.
- Junior Guerra
- Why you would: He's come out of seemingly nowhere to be the most consistently good starting pitcher the Brewers have run out there this season and, again in a down market for starting pitching, that could translate to serious value if someone is willing to strike while the iron is hot.
- Why you wouldn't: If the Brewers think he's really for real then three years of league minimum-ish salaries and up to six years of team control mean you could conceivably control all of Guerra's remaining effectiveness. Even if he's never more than a mid-rotation guy, this season is proof positive that even that role can be a challenging one to fill.
- Jonathan Lucroy
- Why you would: He's cheap, plays a premium position at a very high level, and could fetch the club a drool-worthy return in prospects.
- Why not: He's cheap, plays a premium position at a very high level, and you could still trade him in the off-season if you aren't going to extend him.
- Kirk Nieuwenhuis
- Why you would: He's not exactly a long-term solution, especially when you have guys like Maverick Phillips on the way. He's arbitration-eligible for the first time this coming off-season.
- Why not: He knows how to succeed at the big league level, especially defensively, and his role in mentoring a guy like Phillips (and to a lesser degree guys like Ramon Flores and Domingo Santana) is a valuable job. Plus he's still under team control for three seasons if you want him
- Carlos Torres
- Why you would: See many of the reasons listed for Boyer. Torres is a quality enough arm to be valuable, quality enough to have played for the NL Champion Mets last year.
- Why not: Again, no real reason not to if you can get something of value. Let Torres play for a contender if there's one who wants him and get something back that can help the future.
For another group of players, the write-ups would look extremely similar. You would trade them because they have value and performing well right now but you wouldn't because they're young enough with some ceiling still to reach (to varying degrees), and controllable/cost-effective that they could still be a part of the next contending roster. This group includes: Jacob Barnes, Michael Blazek, Jeremy Jeffress, Jimmy Nelson, Will Smith, Tyler Thornburg, and Jonathan Villar. That said, the return on packages containing those players or even straight-up on some of them would be intriguing.
I know I've only been going through names on the 25-man roster right now, but let me make one other point.
Anybody can be had for the right price and that's what makes Stearns a good General Manager. He's willing to listen — even on someone he 99% would never move. Look, I want Orlando Arcia to be the shortstop here in Milwaukee for the next decade-plus. That said, if the Angels were to extend Mike Trout for the next decade and offer him to Milwaukee straight up for Arcia (while paying 90% of Trout's contract themselves), you shouldn't and wouldn't say no.
That example is wildly inequitable but I use it to illustrate that yes, even Orlando Arcia is tradeable under the right circumstances.
All this said, I expect a handful of players to probably be wearing other uniforms by August 1st. I also expect that anyone who leaves will do so to the betterment of the long-term goal which is to bring sustainable success to the home clubhouse at Miller Park.
2016 Draft Recap Podcast
It's here! With the draft come and gone I have once again put together a podcast for your listening pleasure.
I talk to two of the Brewers draft picks this year, a tradition I started several years ago at this point, as I had the chance to interview top pick Corey Ray and 6th rounder Payton Henry. You'll also hear some audio from the Director of Amateur Scouting for the Brewers, Ray Montgomery, as well as MLB veteran Curtis Granderson who has been a mentor for Corey over the last couple of years.
I might post a follow-up interview that I wanted to conduct but haven't yet had a chance to complete due to scheduling conflicts but I wanted to get this up for now without it just in case it never happens.
But for now, listen to this and let me know what you think.
Official Release: Brewers Make Three Selections on Day One of 2016 First-Year Player Draft
Team Selects OF Corey Ray, 3B Lucas Erceg and C Mario Feliciano
MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers made three selections during day one of the 2016 First-Year Player Draft. The team selected outfielder Corey Ray (University of Louisville), third baseman Lucas Erceg (Menlo College) and catcher Mario Feliciano (Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy) with the fifth, 46th and 75th picks, respectively. The announcements were made by Vice President of Amateur Scouting/Special Assistant to the General Manager Ray Montgomery.
Ray, a junior at the University of Louisville, batted .319 with 55 runs, 16 doubles, a triple, 15 home runs, 60 RBI, 44 stolen bases, a .396 OBP and a .562 slugging percentage this season. He was previously drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 33rd round of the 2013 First-Year Player Draft out of Simeon Career Academy, but chose to enroll in college instead. The left-handed hitter is majoring in exercise science. He was scouted by area scout Jeff Simpson and regional supervisor Tim McIlvaine.
Erceg, 21, is a junior at Menlo College. He hit .308 (70-for-227) with 47 runs, 15 doubles, 20 home runs, 56 RBI with a .351 on-base percentage and a .639 slugging percentage in 56 games this season. He was scouted by area scout Joe Graham and regional supervisor Corey Rodriguez.
Feliciano, 17, is a senior at the Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy. He was a 2016 Rawlings-Perfect Game 2nd Team All-American and was scouted by area scout Charlie Sullivan and national supervisor Doug Reynolds.
The Draft will resume tomorrow at 12 p.m. CT with rounds 3-10. Day three of the Draft will begin at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday with rounds 11-40.

In a composting greenhouse, heat and carbon dioxide are generated from a manure-based compost contained in a special chamber attached to one side of the greenhouse. In-vessel compost units or compost windrows—located in a nearby but separate location—are an alternative to attached compost chambers. In either case, capturing the heat of combustion and distributing it to the greenhouse itself is a design feature that needs attention.
Options include wrapping the compost chamber with recirculating water pipes, or using an air-to-water heat exchanger. The heated water is then available for distribution through radiant heating. Since root-zone heating—hydronic tubing used with floor and bench heating—is an established practice in the greenhouse industry, the technology already exists to integrate this source of heat.
As with any compost site, equipment access is a basic requirement to facilitate the movement of vehicles, tractors, and bucket loaders. Large-scale composting relies on efficient handling and mixing of raw feedstocks such as manures, straw, and green waste.
Root-zone heating systems work well with any low-temperature (90-110° F.) water system, including compost-heated, solar-heated, and geothermal-heated water, as well as warm waste water from power plants and co-generation facilities. A separate greenhouse resource packet on root-zone heating is available from ATTRA.
Heating greenhouses with waste heat generated by thermophilic compost is an idea that gained a lot of attention in the 1980s. The best known example was the composting greenhouse project initiated in 1983 at the New Alchemy Institute (NAI) in Massachussetts, which began with a 700-square-foot prototype.
The New Alchemy Institute was one of the premier alternative technology centers in the 1970s and 80s. The Institute published widely on appropriate technology, ecology, solar energy, bioshelters, solar greenhouses, integrated pest management in greenhouses, organic farming, and sustainable agriculture.
From the mid- to late 80s, NAI published a number of research reports and magazine articles about its ongoing work with composting greenhouses. Enclosed is the complete set of four articles published on this topic in New Alchemy Quarterly between 1983 and 1989. These articles contain blueprints, illustrations, photographs, and descriptions of the composting greenhouse. Of special note are the seven conclusions reached by the greenhouse team in the 1987 article, plus the new findings reported in the 1989 article.
By 1987, NAI had identified significant problems with the concept. These include (1):
The composting greenhouse is a risky and experimental technology. Its should only be considered in situations where each operation—greenhouse and composting—makes sense in its own right.
Composting is a challenge, since it is both art and science. The small operation may not be able to afford specialized composting equipment, resulting in substantially increased labor requirements.
The composting component needs to be sized on the basis of its carbon dioxide production. If the composting component is sized to heat the greenhouse—in a mild climate like southern New England, half a cubic yard of compost per square foot of greenhouse(!)—the amount of carbon dioxide generated will be six times that needed for optimal CO2-enriched atmospheres, and the amount of nitrogen (ammonia) released will be fifty times that needed for optimal plant growth.
When the composting component is sized on the basis of carbon dioxide, the heat generated will be supplementary only, meeting perhaps 15% of the energy needs. Excess nitrogen will still, however, be a troublesome contaminant of the system, at levels roughly eight times greater than optimal. Nitrate levels are consistently too high for safe production of cool season greens, due to accumulation of nitrates in the vegetables.
However, in the 1989 article, NAI cited new design features that promised to solve the ammonia problem. And nitrates are not a problem when greenhouses are only used to start vegetable seedlings intended for field production.
In addition to the articles in New Alchemy Quarterly, NAI published research reports and working papers on this topic. Although the Institute ceased operations in 1991, NAI publications are available through The Green Center, a non-profit educational institute located at the site of the former Institute. Some of the NAI reports are on the Green Center Web page, and copies of other publications are available for sale. For a complete list of publications and prices, contact:

Beyond the New Alchemy studies, little scientific research has been done with composting greenhouses. However, a study published in 1997 stated that cattle manure mixed with rice hulls was successful in producing winter crops. (2) The compost raised the underground temperature between 20 and 35°F. The final compost was of good quality, with good nutrient content.
A 1995 study compared compost to manured soil for greenhouse cucumber production. (3) There were several significant results: the composts maintained a higher temperature in the root zone, a higher carbon dioxide level, and a higher microbial level than the manured soil. Nitrate concentration was also considerably lower in the compost-produced cucumbers. Fruit production on the composts started 10-12 days earlier and the composts had significantly higher yields.
The operation of a compost-greenhouse facility has two inherent goals: (1) heating the greenhouse via co-generation from a compost chamber, and (2) the production of compost. Thus, compost end use (e.g., greenhouse production, potting mix, landscape industry, bagged sales) and compost quality should both weigh in the decision-making process.
Good quality compost is recognized as a valuable soil treatment that performs multiple functions in terms of soil structure, crop fertility, the soil foodweb, natural disease suppression, etc. Thus, attention to the composting process itself is rather important, and this means that good aerobic conditions—normally achieved by turning the pile when windrows are used or through forced air when aerated static piles are used—are critical.
Compost quality can be significantly improved by monitoring the pile for temperature, carbon dioxide, pH, nitrites, nitrates, and sulfur, and through the use of microbial inoculants. Compost biomaturity is determined through a series of tests that indicate the levels of temperature, humus, and biological activity.

Could you imagine a scenario where you had invested millions of dollars into a new start-up, had purchased all of the infrastructure, gotten the necessary approvals from the government to launch, and then weeks before you were expected to bring your product to market some bureaucrat decides that your business plan doesn't meet the necessary investment guidelines ?
Well, that's exactly what's happening to Wind Mobile.
In anticipation of their launch they had successfully hired hundreds of people. These people are still on the payroll. In addition, they negotiated with Blockbuster for real estate space inside of their stores to display and sell their new cellular service.
So, it's rather sad to read the latest blog post on Wind Mobile's blog site which states as follows:
I have some good news to share: we've launched our stores! Well… at least some of them. Before you get too excited, the bad news is that we're not selling anything. No… really.
You may notice a few of our WIND kiosks inside Blockbuster locations in the GTA and Calgary. Why do we have people standing in kiosks when we're not selling, and we can't talk about what we're going to sell, or when we're going to sell the stuff we can't talk about? Because they were there: the kiosks were built and our teams were trained and good to go.
So what else were we going to do with them?
How much longer could they possible keep this going ? If I were Wind Mobile or their investors I'm not sure if I would be laughing at this blog post or crying !
In the mean time, Public Mobile has been doing a great job in keeping their audience engaged prior to their launch. Their competitor, Dave Wireless, in the mean time has had the same boring web site with no customer engagement, and no new information. I check their web site every couple of weeks, and I'm shocked that they still haven't released their new company name, started a blog, provided any indication of their marketing plans … come on Dave Wireless, get with the program !
Update: Wind Mobile received Industry Canada approval on December 18th to officially launch. Read more here.

This post was originally featured on the Cvent's Elite Meetings Blog, Meet Well.
Research presented at the annual conference of the Global Business Travel Association this summer (July 15-20) in Denver presented a mixed picture of what planners could expect in the coming months when it comes to negotiating 2017 hotel rates. For North America, the trade group for travel managers is predicting hotel rates will jump an average 4 percent, the steepest increase of any global region. In fact, projected rates in most other regions (Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa among them) are expected to decline, compared to 2016.
The GBTA described the upcoming scenario as a "tale of two coasts." Depending on which coast they choose to book, planners can find significant discrepancy in rates. The West Coast, for example, including Seattle, Los Angeles, San Jose, and Vancouver, is experiencing high single to double-digit growth attributed to the high-tech boom and a related shortage of hotel rooms.
By contrast, the East Coast, including New York City and Toronto, is experiencing rate growth that's either flat, negative or low single-digit due to spikes in hotel supply. Based on input from the GBTA's research arm in conjunction with Carlson Wagonlit Travel, the Association expects overall meeting demand in North America to continue to climb next year. Group size is likely to rise 3 to 5 percent, while the cost per attendee per day jumps a comparable amount.
Also complicating matters, the availability of hotels and related venues across North America generally speaking is predicted to grow tighter, while contract provisions are less flexible. Much of this is predicated on hotels' performance in the first half of 2016, when the industry saw stronger than anticipated increases in group size (up to 10 percent larger) year-over-year.
The operative words here, of course, are "generally speaking." As with any broad-brush prediction, planners know there are always exceptions to the rule: How large is the piece of business? Are shoulder season dates an option? Rooms aside, what additional revenue streams can the hotel expect (banquets, other catered meal functions, golf and spa programs, pre and post-bookings, and so on)?
Lastly, muddying the waters further, the Association cites the high level of global uncertainty on a whole passel of political, economic and social issues heading into 2017. The bottom line for the GBTA: travel buyers, including planners and incentive trip organizers, have to be more nimble than ever in performing their jobs.

They range from palm-of-your-hand pieces to gigantic supernovas of glittering glass tentacles, singular, vivid, bowls big enough to float baby Moses down the Nile, and hallucinogenically hued "marbles" blown as big as sofa hassocks. -more-
"The initial idea I had for the play," said Itamar Moses, a 1995 Berkeley High graduate and emerging playwright, of Yellowjacket, his play commissioned by Berkeley Rep that opens Friday, "was about what I did in school, hiding in the newspaper office. A simpler play, about the paper. I thought there probably was a play there. -more-
Before Bonnie and Clyde and Badlands—before Sam Shepard, for that matter—a prominent American playwright tied together a crime spree in the West, an offbeat sense of romance and the Existential angst of war babies and wannabe great artists. The result was The Petrified Forest, which launched both Humphrey Bogart and Bette Davis when the Hollywood film version got made. -more-
"I came to be in the Bay Area for one year, in 1984," said Thomas Simpson, founder of AfroSolo, the annual festival of African-American solo performance that includes tributes and art exhibits. "I was in theater, from Nashville, and this was to be a step between there and L.A. or New York. For my 39th birthday in 1991, I had a party and invited artists to perform who I knew from taking a workshop on developing solo pieces. It occurred to me it should be staged every year as a way for us to tell our own stories, form our own works." -more-

Ten years after the release of F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu (1922), the first and greatest of all vampire films, Carl Th. Dreyer released Vampyr (1932), the next great vampire film, and one that took the genre in a new direction. Vampyr is the vampire film reduced to its essence, to an unrelenting flow of eerie imagery, off-kilter camera movements and a hushed soundscape consisting of sparse, enigmatic dialogue and a muted, foreboding score. Less plot than impressionist montage, the film is an almost surrealist blend of unexplained actions and haunted faces. Imagine Dracula as presented by Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali. -more-

We're all trying to do our part to be a little greener these days. I see you down at the market with your cloth bags, you Prius drivers (not to mention drivers of 25-year-old cars, another very green tack). Many of us, nay, most of us, are trying to do something and studies have revealed in the recent past that most Americans are even willing to pay more for items such as organic produce and cleaner energy. -more-

Introduction to Image Processing
- Prof. Dr. Aristovoulos Christidis
- Prof. Dr. Aristovoulos Christidis
The students know the most significant principles of image processing and their applications and have implemented their own simple image processing system in C. While exploring filtering process they have learned to regard mathematics as a tool for the treatment of signals and to use and, conversely, to realize image processing processes as visualization of calculations. In group work, they learned how abstract formulas can get elements of intuitive communication over visual effects within a semester. Since they have met all the development steps of the desired effect on his mathematical formulation to its coding, they are capable of (some times independently) to recognize the professional "depth" of their interlocutor.

The Power in the Blood of Jesus Christ
by Bayo Omoyiola, Jr.
A lot of people all over the world don't understand that there is great power in the blood of Jesus Christ. In some places, the blood of Jesus is rarely mentioned. In this sermon, we would be taking a look at the wonders, the blood of Jesus Christ performs. So that you can appreciate what Jesus has done, lay hold of that power and begin to use it and tap into the unlimited benefits it offers. Let's take a look at the benefits and wonders of the blood of Christ.
(1) Deliverance
As for you also, by the blood of your covenant I have sent forth your prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water – Zech 9:11
There is deliverance power in the blood of Jesus Christ. It sets the captives free. Are you bound spiritually? You can lay hold of the power in the blood of Jesus and set yourself free with the help of GOD. The blood of Jesus Christ is like a red card to all demons and evil beings. When you plead, the blood of Jesus, you are banishing every demon or evil being away from your life.
(2) Protection
Turn you to the strong hold, you prisoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double to you – Zechariah 9:12
There is power in the blood of Jesus for protection. When you plead the blood of Jesus Christ, a divine help is released to help you. You can cover yourself with the blood of Jesus any time. The stronghold in that name "Jesus" is powerful because of the blood and sacrifice he has paid. From today, plead the blood of Jesus and cover yourself and your household with the blood.
(3) Healing
Christ carried our sins in his body on the cross so that freed from our sins, we could live a life that has God's approval. His wounds have healed you – 1 Peter 2:24
There is healing power in the blood of Jesus Christ. He was wounded and his wounds have healed you. Any deep wound would always involve shedding of blood. Beloved, Jesus suffered from deep wounds so you could be healed. His blood was shed for your healing. There have been testimonies from believers that got healed when they took the Holy Communion. I also took the communion and was healed. Remember the wine you take during communion symbolizes the blood of Jesus so when you take it, you believe you drank the blood of Jesus Christ. That blood is powerful. When you take the blood of Christ, you take in the divine life of Christ and you enjoy divine health. The blood of Jesus Christ has the power to heal. Hallelujah!
(4) Cleansing
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleans us from all sin - 1 John 1:7
The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from sin. It is God's solution for propitiation or atonement for sin (Romans 3:25). If you are in Christ, the blood of Jesus washes away your sin. Any time you sin and then confess it to God and ask for forgiveness, the blood of Jesus washes away your sin. It has the power to cleanse your conscience and purge it from dead works (Hebrews 9:13-14).
(5) Peace
For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross – Colossians 1:19-20
The LORD made peace by the blood of JESUS. His blood is the blood of the new covenant of GOD with man. In the new covenant, old things are passed away, all things become new. By blood, you can go to GOD because you know he is at peace with you. Hallelujah! By the blood of Jesus Christ, every accusation against you is silenced. The accuser of the brethren is silenced, because the blood is speaking peace on your behalf. So when, the enemy comes in like a flood, you can rise up in the name of the LORD and plead the blood of JESUS and watch the LORD raise up a standard against Him. Glory be to GOD!
(6) Victory
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death
– Revelations 12:11
Revelations 12:11 tells us that the blood of Jesus gave the saints victory over the devil. That's what the blood does. It gives you victory over the enemy.
Shout "I have got victory over the enemy by the blood of Jesus Christ" Hallelujah!! Yea, victory is yours. The devil is defeated. You are a winner. Glory be to GOD! Any time you feel down and defeated, rise up and declare – "I am a winner in Christ Jesus". Always remember, Jesus has given you the victory. Hallelujah!
(7) Nearness to GOD:
But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made near by the blood of Christ – Ephesians 2:13
The Blood of Jesus Christ brings you closer to GOD. It removes the wall that separates man and GOD from close fellowship. By the blood of Jesus Christ, you can come closer to GOD and fellowship with Him.
(8) Sanctification
Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, so that He might sanctify the people by His own blood – Hebrews 13:12
Sanctification is by the blood of Jesus. You can't be sanctified by your own power. The blood of Jesus sanctifies. It purifies. It makes GOD accept you. When you are sanctified by the blood, GOD does not see your sins. He sees the righteousness of GOD in you. Remember, you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. You are sanctified by the blood of Christ.
(9) Salvation
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him – Romans 5:9
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace" - Ephesians 1:7
With the Blood of Jesus, salvation is sure. Our Lord Jesus Christ shed his blood for the salvation of your soul. His blood gives us access to GOD. Your own self righteousness cannot save you. It is his blood that saves you. It saves you from sin. It saves from eternal death. The blood justifies. It saves you from condemnation. It rescues you when you are in trouble. If you have accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour, when you plead the blood of Jesus, you get the Lord's attention and angels are released to rescue you.
(10) Confidence
Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus - Hebrews 10:19
By the blood of Jesus you can have the confidence or the boldness to enter into the throne room of GOD. Not being mindful of your weaknesses or sins, but being mindful of what the Lord has done for you. The blood of Jesus empowers you. It clothes you so you can look presentable before GOD. Without the blood, you will be wearing a filthy rag called self righteousness but with the blood, you are clothed with the robe of righteousness and heaven opens up for you when you pray. You can come into the throne room of GOD and enjoy fellowship with the Lord. Beloved, for as long as the confidence is in you and you do not doubt, whatever favour you ask the Lord for, shall be given unto you.
Isn't that wonderful? If it is wonderful to you, I would like to encourage you to tap into benefits of the blood of Jesus Christ and begin to enjoy the deep riches of grace in Christ Jesus.
Beloved, it is a new day for you. Your life would never be the same as you begin to gain access into the mystery of the blood of Jesus Christ and enjoy its benefits. So shall it be, in Jesus precious name. Amen!

Benedict Cumberbatch About to Become a Waxwork at Madame Tussauds
What's cooler – the fact that Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch recently picked up his first Emmy for playing the great detective, or the fact that he's about to get his very own wax replica at the world famous Madame Tussauds waxwork gallery in London?
Pretty cool, right? The news that the world was getting a wax version of Cumberbatch was announced by Tussaud's earlier this summer, and the actor has been visiting the waxwork museum to keep tabs on the progress of his figure, provide vital measurements to the team crafting the statue and, it would appear, poke his virtual self in the ear.
Thankfully, the Tussaud's team was there to document this important occasion on film.
As you can see, work on the figure is well underway, and Cumberbatch's finished statue will apparently be "premiere-ready", showing the actor in one of his signature red-carpet dark suits.
"Finally I can photobomb myself!" Cumberbatch said in a statement. "What a weird and wonderful compliment to be included in the ranks of talent already committed to wax. I've been accused of being wooden in my work but never waxy!
"The main privilege for me was the process and seeing the amount of exacting work and skill brought to every detail of this art form. It is a wonderful combination of old and new, hi-tech and lo-fi skills. Measurements, hand inserted individual hairs and sculpted features," Cumberbatch explained. "As a subject, you stand still surrounded by sculpters, painters, photographers, measurers and a whole army of people who bring together your likeness... it's an extraordinary experience."
All of the above photos are courtesy of Madame Tussaud's, and you can see a full gallery of these Cumberclay images at the official Madame Tussaud's site. (Yes, there are more!)
"There is no denying that Benedict Cumberbatch is one of the most in-demand actors of the moment, starring in some of the most successful films and TV shows in recent times to critical and popular acclaim. With his star on a meteoric rise, we are delighted that his figure will be joining us at Madame Tussauds London," said Madame Tussauds' General Manager Ben Sweet. "Our guests made it very clear they wanted to see him in the attraction, and we can't wait for them to meet his figure later this year."
The official Benedict Cumberbatch wax figure is set to debut in October, so everyone who's already making plans to attend the star's West End turn as Hamlet next Fall can add another must-do item to their Cumberbatc-related London itinerary!
