Sandstorms and plunging temperatures brought by a severe cold snap in northwest China have damaged crops, killed livestock and affected five million people. Freezing weather since Thursday in northwestern Xinjiang had "wreaked havoc", causing an economic loss of about 5 billion yuan ($714 million). The disaster affected 473,733 hectares of crops, or 69% of the total in the region, and 411,466 hectares of fruit trees." About 103,500 livestock were killed, and another 3.25 million "injured or lost." The cold snap coincided with the early arrival of China's typhoon season. Typhoon Neoguri slammed into China's southern island province of Hainan at the weekend, causing power cuts and leaving 18 fishermen missing.

Graphic novels continue to delight, thrill and amaze with their rich diversity of style and content and this months selection of releases are no exception from tales of jazz greats to primitive tribes existing on a post-apocalyptic Earth.
Mudbite featuring Dave Cooper's Eddy Table. / Cooper, Dave
"Mudbite compiles two all-new Eddy Table stories, 'Mud River' and 'Bug Bite', in which Eddy Table returns to his roots, acting as Dave's alter ego in the dreamlike narratives. Eddy first appeared in the early '90s in Dave Cooper's award-winning underground comic series, Weasel. The stories are based on baffling dreams and a unique kind of logical nonsense, centering on encounters with voluptuous women and fantasy technology." (Catalogue)
Total jazz / Blutch
"In these freewheeling short stories, vignettes, and sketches that originally appeared in Jazzman magazine, the famed French cartoonist examines not only the genre and its creators but the nature of the subculture. The grumpy festival-goer, the curmudgeonly collector, the anxious auditioner, and many others are his targets. As improvisional as Coltrane and Mingus, Blutch captures the excitement of live performance and of creating and listening to music." (Catalogue)
Niourk / Vatine, Olivier
"On a post-apocalyptic Earth, where mankind has regressed to a handful of primitive tribes hunting and foraging for a meager, oppressed existence, a lone black child, shunned by other members of his tribe, sets out on an epic journey to what used to be known as New York, land of the gods! Written by Stefan Wul, author of cult favorite Fantastic Planet, illustrated by acclaimed French comics artist Olivier Vatine, this unusual hero's journey is a memorable examination of a child's compassion — and the human race's cruelty."(Catalogue)
Kill six billion demons. Book two, Wielder of dreams. / Parkinson-Morgan, Tom
"When her boyfriend is kidnapped by genocidal angels, Allison Ruth rushes to save him. Now this sorority sister/barista/business major is stranded in an alternate dimension and endowed with awesome – but incredibly inconvenient – power. There's a way out, but it'll take everything Allison has." (Catalogue)
Sirens / Pérez, George
"As an intergalactic force enslaves planets across the galaxy, the legendary team known only as the Sirens must reunite to save the galaxy–but is that even possible when the Sirens themselves don't remember who they are? And the rest of the universe only remembers them as…villains?" (Catalogue)
Secret weapons / Heisserer, Eric
"The government has dispatched Amanda McKee – the technopath codenamed Livewire – to investigate the ruins of a secret facility formerly run by Toyo Harada, the most powerful telepath on Earth and her former mentor. In his quest for world betterment at any cost, Harada sought out and activated many potential psiots like himself. Those who survived, but whose powers he deemed to have no value to his cause, were hidden away at this installation. But Livewire, having studied Harada's greatest strengths and learned his deepest weaknesses, senses opportunity where he once saw failure." (Catalogue)
Shadows on the grave / Corben, Richard
"Richard Corben follows up 2014's Spirits of the Dead with a new collection of original short stories, ranging from gothic tales worthy of Poe, to Twilight Zone-style encounters with the weird, to a full-length fantasy epic featuring a barbarian reminiscent of Corben's most notorious creation, Den, immortalized in the 1981 animated film Heavy Metal. Corben rose to prominence with short horror and science fiction stories in the early 1970s in Creepy and Eerie, which were later collected in Creepy Presents Richard Corben." (Catalogue)
Get naked / Seagle, Steven T
"Where would you get naked? In the spirit of essayist David Sedaris and the sardonic travel monologues of Spalding Grey, comic writer Steven T. Seagle… turns his eye to a new form–the graphic essay. Nineteen emerging global cartoonists journey through Seagle's personal observations of global attitudes about nudeness. Balancing raw comedy, raw emotions, and raw cartooning, the essays honestly chronicle Seagle's place as an undressed, metaphorical fish out of water on different continents – from not recognizing a famous unclothed celebrity in Hollywood, to finding himself nude on the roof of a Berlin high-rise, to being eaten by literal fish in Tokyo." (Catalogue)
Incognegro : a graphic mystery / Johnson, Mat
"This tenth anniversary edition of the acclaimed and fearless graphic novel features enhanced toned art, an afterword by Mat Johnson, character sketches, and other additional material. In the early 20th Century, when lynchings were commonplace throughout the American South, a few courageous reporters from the North risked their lives to expose these atrocities. They were African-American men who, due to their light skin color, could 'pass' among the white folks. They called this dangerous assignment going 'incognegro'. (Catalogue)
The Battle of Churubusco : American rebels in the Mexican-American War / Ferraris, Andrea
"A soldier under fire faces a crisis of conscience in this remarkable work of historical graphic fiction. In 1847, Mexican suburb Churubusco was the stronghold of the San Patricios, a motley battalion of soldiers–even some runaway American slaves–who deserted the United States army for a just, if suicidal, cause."

I woke up with a pang of sudden realization that the last day of August was upon us. To live summer to its fullest potential I loaded the grocery cart with lots of seasonal produce: berries, nectarines, peaches, figs, fresh corn and watermelon. I am going to hold on to my favorite season a little longer by enjoying an abundance of summery food.
Fresh corn is one of Peter's favorite foods. Though he never tires of eating the simple corn on the cob, I decided to give hime some variety today by making this simple and refreshing corn salad. It went deliciously with the grilled chicken.
This is a summer must eat dish.
Fresh Corn Salad
4 ears fresh corn
2 tablespoons minced shallot or red onion
1 tablespoon minced red and greenn jalapeño (seeded)
2 to 3 tablespoons minced cilantro
2 to 3 tablespoons finely diced tomato (seeded)
Juice from 1 large lime (about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Scant 1/4 cup roasted pine nuts (optional)
Salt to taste
Cook the corn. I microwaved them one by one with a layer of husk on, each for 3 minutes. Using a bread knife, cut the kernel off the corn.
Mix the minced red onion or shallot, jalapeño, lime juice, olive oil and salt in a bowl and let sit for a minute or two for the onion to lose the sharp sting.
Mix the rest of the ingredients except for the pine nuts.
Taste it to adjust the flavors.
Add pine nuts before serving.

In a season in which in the end, Calgary finished only 10 points back of the second wild card spot, there are two numbers that stand out for me.
- 11th in shots against.
- 30th in goals against.
To me, that sums it up. The team did a pretty decent job of limiting chances but too often opposing teams scored anyway.
The three-headed monster to start the season quickly became a three-headed disaster with all three goalies sharing the blame in Calgary getting off to a 2-8-1 start, which was a hole they were never able to fully dig themselves out of.
In a special edition of Eight From 80 Feet, I dig into the Flames goaltending and provide eight different views of what was a historically dreadful season between the pipes.
1. $4.5 million Not Well Spent
Go back two decades and several size increases of goalie gear and Hiller's name is still prominent among the worst single seasons.
NHL Worst SV% in Last 20 Years (since 1996-97)
1. Damian Rhodes ATL, 1999-00, .874
2. Brian Boucher PHI, 2000-01, .876
3. Arturs Irbe CAR, 2002-03, .877
4. Peter Skudra BUF/BOS, 2000-01, .879
5. Andrew Raycroft BOS, 2005-06, .879
6. Jonas Hiller CGY, 2015-16, .879
7. Vesa Toskala TOR/CGY, 2009-10, .880
8. Jussi Markkanen EDM, 2005-06, .880
9. Tom Barrasso PIT/OTT, 1999-00, .880
10. Kirk McLean VAN/CAR/FLA, 1997-98, .881
If you look at team history only, Hiller's save percentage was the worst in over 25 years, going back to Mike Vernon (.878) in 1990-91. The NHL only has save percentages listed back to 1987-88 and you have to go back that far to find regular occurrences of sub .880.
Flames Worst SV% on Record (since 1987-88)
1. Doug Dadswell, 1987-88, .858
2. Mike Vernon, 1989-90, .870
3. Rick Wamsley, 1989-90, .875
4. Mike Vernon, .1987-88, .877
5. Mike Vernon, 1990-91, .878
6. Jonas Hiller, 2015-16, .879
7. Rick Wamsley, 1988-89, .881
8. Mike Vernon, 1991-92, .883
9. Mike Vernon, 2000-01, .883
10. Trevor Kidd, 1993-94, .887
Hey, didn't they win the Stanley Cup in 1989? Yes, but by scoring 354 goals that season, an average of nearly 4.5 goals per game. This year's team averaged 2.8.
2. How the Finnish Finished
To qualify in save percentage, you must play 25 games. Of the 48 that qualified, Joni Ortio was not among them as he was three games shy. Obviously Niklas Backstrom didn't have nearly enough appearances either.
Nonetheless, here is where they all ranked or would have ranked had they qualified and spoiler alert, not one of them landed in the top 35. For Ortio supporters, you might be surprised and not in a good way. The 24-year-old finished with a .902 that landed him in-between 45th place Mike Condon and 46th place Anders Nilsson.
NHL SV% (min of 25 gm)
Top Five
1. Brian Elliott STL, .930
2. Ben Bishop TB, .926
3. Thomas Greiss NYI, .925
4. Michal Neuvirth PHI, .924
5. Corey Crawford CHI, .924
Middle of the Pack
23. Devan Dubnyk MIN, .918
24. Steve Mason PHI, .918
25. Martin Jones SJ, .918
26. Cam Talbot EDM, .917
36. Karri Ramo CGY, .909
Bottom Five
44. Ondrej Pavelec WPG, .904
45. Mike Condon MTL, .903
Joni Ortio CGY, .902
46. Anders Nilsson EDM/STL, .901
47. Eddie Lack CAR, .901
Niklas Backstrom CGY, .881
48. Jonas Hiller CGY, .879
That's a long, long way back of 47th place for Hiller. In fact, he would have needed to stop 146 shots in a row in order to climb above Eddie Lack.
3. Tale of Two Halves
Karri Ramo
October was a struggle. But in reviewing video and working closely with Flames goaltending coach Jordan Sigalet, Ramo made an adjustment to his style that I documented here, which was noticeable and improved his game. Looking at the splits for Ramo.
- Before Nov. 30 - .899 SV%, 39th of 44 (min of 8 gm)
- After Dec. 1 - .917 SV%, 27th of 57 (min of 15 gm)
Joni Ortio
It's hard to judge a guy on sporadic work. If you don't have the comfort of knowing you'll be back in the net the next night, you're playing more nervous -- trying not to make a mistake -- and that's never good.
So let's separate out October as well as Ortio's relief appearance mid-February after he first returned from the minors. Instead, we'll begin in late February with when he started making consecutive starts.
- Before Feb. 22 - .862 SV%, N/A out of 53 (min of 16 gm)
- After Feb. 23 - .910 SV%, 33rd of 49 (min of 8 gm)
Split out that way, Ortio's numbers improve but are they good enough? His .910 is still below what would be considered middle-of-the-road goaltending and if you're Calgary, don't you want that at a minimum? Ortio is a pending RFA this summer and it remains to be seen if he re-signed. I think he made a decent case for it but I don't see it as a slam-dunk by any means. It may hinge on, who else they might be able to bring in and the cost.
4. No Police Record
The NHL schedule is a grind. Six months, 82 games, injuries knock guys out of the line-up, lingering aches and pains hamper guys in the line-up.
Along the way, all successful teams need their goalie to steal games on occasion. This is not something Calgary's goaltenders did very often this season. By my criteria of "stealing a game" that I explain below, Backstrom's Herculean effort in game 82 on Saturday was only the third time Flames goaltenders pulled off a heist and got the team two points they didn't deserve.
Here's my simple but logical criteria for what constitutes stealing a hockey game.
- Win the game
- Face 32 or more shots
- Allow 2 or fewer goals
- Opponent outshoots you by a minimum of 6 shots
Here are the three steals I see them. All of them coming on the road. The other two authored by Ramo.
- Nov. 13, 2015 - Ramo in Washington, 3-2 OT win, outshot 36-29
- Dec. 17, 2015 - Ramo in Dallas, 3-1 win, outshot 38-27
- Apr. 9, 2015 - Backstrom in Minnesota, 2-1 win, outshot 36-25
Three is down significantly from last season where in helping the Flames make the playoffs when nobody was expecting it, Calgary goaltenders combined for 10.
Here are the number of games stolen over the last five seasons:
- 2015-16 - 3 (Ramo 2, Backstrom 1)
- 2014-15 - 10 (Hiller 5, Ramo 3, Ortio 2)
- 2013-14 - 6 (Ramo 3, MacDonald 2, Berra 1)
- 2012-13 - 6* (Kiprusoff 4, MacDonald 2)
- 2011-12 - 6 (Kiprusoff 6)
* 48-game season
5. Too Many Crooked Numbers
I'm borrowing this expression from baseball, where a 'crooked number' refers to more than one run in an inning. As a pitcher, you're always striving to limit damage and if you can avoid crooked numbers during a start, your odds of winning rise significantly.
In hockey, I'm talking about allowing five or more goals in a game. You're not chalking up many wins if your team needs to score at least six goals. In 2014-15, the Flames gave up five or more goals in a game only 7 times. The last time they allowed that few blow-outs was 2007-08 (7). The last time they allowed fewer was 2003-04 (4), the year they went to the Stanley Cup final.
This season, opponents rung up a high-5 on Calgary 20 times. That's a quarter of the games. Heck, they gave up six-or-more goals 8 times, which is more often than last year's team gave up five or more.
|Rick Wamsley
- Mike Vernon (.883)
- Jeff Reese (.872)
- Rick Wamsley (.850)
Take a look at how small the goalie gear was way back then compared to today. Although 28 times is excessive, you can understand how the games were higher scoring.
But to give up that big of a number in this era of fridge doors for pads and XXXL jerseys? That's brutal.
In the end, it wasn't close. Calgary's team save percentage this season (.898) was dead last and a long way back from 29th place Dallas (.906). How the Stars won the Central Division is a conversation for another day because typically, porous goaltending will kill you. Of the 11 worst teams in that category, Nashville (.910) at 22nd is the only other team to make the post-season.
The opposite rings true also. The top eight teams in save percentage all made the playoffs, the string ending with 9th place New Jersey (.919).
NHL Team SV% in 2015-16 (excluding empty net goals)
1. St. Louis, .924
2. Tampa Bay, .923
3. Pittsburgh, .921
4. Florida, .921
5. Washington, .921
26. Toronto, 909
27. Montreal, .908
28. Carolina, .906
29. Dallas, .906
30. Calgary, .898
Oh, and it gets worse. If you look back over the last five 82-game seasons, so dating back to 2010-11, that .898 mark put up by this year's Flames is bottom five.
NHL Worst Team SV% in an 82-Game Season (Since 2010-11)
1. 2014-15 Edmonton, .892 (Bachman .911, Scrivens .890, Fasth .888)
2. 2011-12 Tampa Bay, .893 (Garon .900, Roloson .886)
3. 2010-11 Colorado, .895 (Anderson .897, Budaj .895, Elliott .891)
4. 2015-16 Calgary, .898 (Ramo .909, Ortio, .902, Backstrom, .881, Hiller, .879)
5. 2013-14 NY Islanders, .899 (Nabokov .905, Nilsson .896, Poulin .891)
7. Most Goals Allowed in 23 Years
First, the good news. The goals against for Calgary isn't quite as bad as the standings suggests. While it shows 260, that includes one goal against for each of the Flames three shootout losses. The actual number is 257. That said, that was still last in the NHL and the most goals Calgary has allowed in a season since 1992-93 (282).
Now you can overcome allowing that many goals. Back in 92-93, the Flames finished second in the Smythe Division and made the playoffs because they also scored 322 goals. This year's team only scored 229.
NHL Goals Against in 2015-16
1. Anaheim, 188
2. Washington, 191
3. Los Angeles, 192
4. St. Louis, 197
5. Tampa Bay, 198
26. Ottawa, 241
27. Edmonton, 242
28. Arizona, 244
29. Columbus, 248
30. Calgary, 257
Once again, there's a strong correlation between goals against and making the playoffs. Of the top 14 teams in goals against, only New Jersey (8th) missed the playoffs. Similarly, not one team ranked in the bottom 10 made the playoffs.
The message is quite simple. Bring down the goals against and make
8. Defending the D
Lastly, by no means am I giving the Flames defence a pass on this season. The guys on the blue-line were guilty of gratuitous giveaways throughout the year, frequent bad decisions and positioning was often an issue also. It surely made Bob Hartley's video sessions the day after games an uncomfortable viewing experience.
However, anyone that has played hockey at any level will tell you that it's hard to play with much conviction as a defenceman when you don't have confidence that the guy behind you is going to stop the puck. Nobody on this team is going to state this publicly but it's the case. I've experienced it for myself. It just impacts how you play the game.
How often during the Miikka Kiprusoff era did the Flames suddenly become a much worse defensive hockey team that gave up far more chances and shots on goal when the back-up goalie was in net. Whether it was Leland Irving or Curtis McElhinney or Philippe Sauve, Calgary always seemed to play worse in front of them and it's because subliminally, your game changes when you don't trust your goalie to have your back.
When did the Flames play their best hockey as a team this season? No co-incidence it came during that stretch in December and January when Ramo took over as the No. 1 goalie and provided Calgary with consistent, solid goaltending over an extended period.
Eleventh in the NHL in shots against. That's pretty good. Eight of the 10 teams ahead of Calgary made the playoffs. Keeping the shots down should keep the chances down. Keeping the chances down should keep the goals against down. Keeping the goals against down should get you into the playoffs.
If Calgary can bring in a proven No. 1 puck-stopper this summer, this ship could be turned around quicker than some might think.
By the way, have you liked Flames From 80 Feet on Facebook yet? Go there and do so now. It's just another way to be alerted to new Calgary Flames articles that I've written.

Happy Valentine's Day!
And you know, this holiday is not just for lovers of the human kind! Some of the best cuddles and kisses I've ever received have come from my furbabies. (shh..don't tell Chip I said that!)
To avoid the holiday rush and to insure that I can have something vegan for tonight's special meal, we are planning to have dinner at home tonight but I haven't quite finalized my menu yet. I'm leaning toward making my Lasagna Rolls..
Or maybe keep it simple with some pasta and Chick'n Cutlets..
And for dessert, maybe some Carrot Cupcakes?
I'm still on the fence, what are you all doing for this special day?

Doctor Sniffs Bed Bug DogsThis bed bug inspection company with a certified NYC bed bug dog will help you determine if you have bed bugs
Dogs are Effective
If you suspect that you have bed bugs, our trained and dual certified dog can sniff them out and let you know where the bed bugs are hiding. If you live in the NYC area we would love to help you discern whether or not you have bed bugs with one of our bed bug sniffing dogs, Goosey or Ecko. Goosey and Ecko, the NYC bed bug dogs will sniff every inch of your residence, office, or business and determine if there are any bed bugs hiding. You can even use a bed bug dog for a post-treatment inspection. Let our bed bug dogs determine if your treatment got rid of the bed bugs!
Our women-owned company is an independent canine scent detection company. This means we are not affiliated with any pest control companies. When we arrive with the bed bug sniffing dog we will perform a visual inspection; as well a canine inspection. We will be there to walk you through this every step of the way, you will not feel lost and alone with us by your side.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are small parasites that feed exclusively on blood. Bed bugs do not usually inhabit the visible surfaces of beds, couches, or chairs. Some of the cracks and crevices, where you may find them are the seams of chairs, the underside of a box spring, the folds of fabric on a headboard, the molding behind a bed, and in the creases of curtains. They come out of their hiding place every 4 to 10 days to feed. In NYC bed bugs can be picked up just about anywhere. Leave it to a certified NYC bed bug dog to let you know if you happened to have picked up any bed bugs.

As a precaution against drawing air into the BOD bottle during the 5-day incubation, you must have a water tight seal.
Having a water tight seal will prevent the following:
3. What type of BOD bottles should I use?
To ensure a water tight seal, InterLab Supply recommends using Wheaton's 300-mL BOD bottles. Wheaton's BOD bottles have a flared mouth and use tapered ground-glass stoppers which are the bottle features recommended in The Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater.
Most importantly, the BOD test is required by law. The BOD test is used to determine how much oxygen is being used by aerobic microorganisms in the water to decompose organic matter. If these aerobic bacteria use too much of the dissolved oxygen in the water, there will not be enough left over for the fish, insects, and other organisms that rely on the oxygen to live. In this situation, the rich diversity of life in a healthy river is reduced to a low diversity (but sometimes high volume) of pollution-tolerant organisms.
You want to keep a tight time fram when you read your final DO. The 21st edition of Standard methods now suggests that reading the final DO ± 6 hours will yield the most accurate test results.
Standard Methods states your bottles should be stored at 20 ± 1°C throughout the 5-day incubation period. Remember, temperature directly affects the metabolic rate of the bacteria. Incubating your bottles at 20 ± 1°C provides the perfect "controlled" environment for the bacteria to reproduce.
Excluding all light prevents the possibility of photosynthetic (algae) production of DO.
Below are the dilutions we recommend. Please note that these dilutions may be adjusted to achieve a SCF between 0.6-1.0mg/L and a GGA of 198 ± 30.5:
You do not want to add additional oxygen to your samples. Therefore, no visible bubbles should be present during preparation, or any time during the test.
Aeration is very important when rehydrating PolySeed. The bacteria in PolySeed require a sufficient amount of air (i.e. oxygen) to reproduce correctly. Many labs aerate PolySeed by pulling a vortex (the tornado-like funnel that occurs when a liquid is being stirred fast). When this method is used, the vortex sucks outside air into the solution. We do not recommend this method due to the stress it puts on the bacteria.

The race to put flying taxis in the sky
Who's making the most progress on this sci-fi dream?
We're three years beyond the date of "the future" in Back to the Future II… but we still don't have flying cars.
People have tried for years to recreate this sci-fi dream, but pesky things like the laws of physics have prevented it from becoming a reality.
Now some say they expect to deliver a flying vehicle by 2020, but there are still major hurdles to overcome first.
Challenges… and hopes
One of the biggest obstacles is simply learning to move around obstacles.
Flying cars will need to navigate complicated urban landscapes, with buildings, power lines and all sorts of objects to fly around. To move around safely, these vehicles will need to rely on a highly detailed map that shows real-time positions of all potential hazards -- including other flying cars.
Creating a map like this for ground vehicles is challenging enough, but adding multiple altitudes makes it even more complicated.
Another challenge: Power. It's enormously difficult to make batteries that are light but also strong enough to support flights longer than a few minutes. A hybrid of gasoline and electricity may be more practical, but that could create more pollution.
But there is hope -- and the answer may lie in consumer drones.
Over the last couple of years, major advancement has been made by companies like DJI. They're squeezing more battery capacity into smaller drones all the time. And they are also programmed to fly around obstacles, and go home automatically if they lose connection.
Scaling up these technologies for a flying car -- which is essentially a much bigger drone -- is the key to success.
But there is still the issue of safety. No matter how reliable flying cars become, they are still an additional hazard to people on the ground. And they can be a nuisance too: Elon Musk explained that a vehicle will need to generate a downward force strong enough to sustain itself in mid-air -- that would create a lot of noise and wind.
Despite the concerns, the sci-fi dream lives on: A study conducted by University of Michigan researchers showed that most Americans look forward to using flying cars one day.
So let's take a look at some of the flying car projects that are making progress.
Kitty Hawk
This week, Kitty Hawk -- a startup backed by Google cofounder Larry Page -- released video of a self-flying electric aircraft named Cora. The company says the air taxi can take off and land vertically, so it doesn't need a runway. It's also said to be quieter than a helicopter. It's now being tested in New Zealand.
Just two years after it first unveiled a concept aircraft at the CES in Las Vegas, China's Ehang gave the world a glimpse of its passenger drone in action last month. In a video, local officials and company executives are seen aboard a drone that takes off with the tap of a button and flies over a field by itself.
German startup Lilium, funded by Tencent, tested an unmanned, two-seat jet last year that can take off vertically and transition to wing-borne flight mid-air. The next goal: A five-seater electric aircraft that can travel between Manhattan and JFK airport in five minutes.
Airbus recently released a video showing its electric Vahana aircraft completing its first test flight. It hovered around 16 feet above a test range in Oregon for just under a minute.
Joby Aviation
Joby Aviation, a California-based startup, demonstrated a drone-plane hybrid to Bloomberg Businessweek earlier this year. Unlike others, the aircraft isn't autonomous yet -- it was reportedly controlled by a pilot.
Germany's Volocopter flew an 18-rotor prototype across a stage at an Intel presentation at this year's CES. It has already run an autonomous flight in Dubai and manned flights in Germany.
Uber, which unveiled a 98-page plan in 2016 outlining its vision for sky taxis, is not making flying cars on its own -- choosing instead to collaborate with aircraft manufacturers. One of them -- Texas-based Bell Helicopter -- teased the cabin of its secret electric flying vehicle during CES this year.

Secretary of State Scott Gessler hires David Lane as attorney in ethics case
He's defended Douglas Bruce, "Balloon Boy's" father and Guantanamo Bay detainees, and now noted defense attorney David Lane will represent Secretary of State Scott Gessler.
Lane is on the legal team representing Gessler, a Republican accused of using state funds for political purposes. Left-leaning Colorado Ethics Watch lodged the complaint with the state's Independent Ethics Commission after Gessler used money from his office's discretionary fund to attend a Republican National Lawyers Association meeting in Florida, also traveling to the Republican National Convention on the trip. He also used money from his office's regular account to return home from the trip early.
Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey has also launched a criminal investigation into the allegations.
"Based on my assessment thus far, they (the complaints) are completely politically motivated," Lane said. "When various documents are made public, I think the public will agree Scott Gessler acted ethically in every facet of what he's accused of doing that was allegedly unethical."
Lane represented Bruce, the anti-tax crusader convicted of tax evasion; "Balloon Boy" father Richard Heene; Tim Masters, who won $10 million in settlements after being wrongly imprisoned for a decade, and former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill. Lane also represented five detainees imprisoned by the United States in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The ethics commission has been investigating the complaint against Gessler and meets on Friday. It's unclear if the complaint will be addressed at that time.

Role in the film
Prince Christopher wanders throughout the marketplace disguised as a peasant, enjoying his brief freedom from his royal responsibilities. When he sees a young woman nearly get run over by a royal carriage, he rushes over to help her. As they talk, they discover that they are both unsatisfied with their confining lives. Christopher is drawn to her honesty and integrity while the woman, Cinderella, is charmed by his sincere, direct nature. Unfortunately, their conversation is cut off when her stepmother scolds her for talking to a stranger and for not keeping up with them. Christopher reluctantly leaves, but tells Cinderella that he hopes to see her again.
Back at the palace, the prince tries to explain his sense of isolation to his loyal valet Lionel, who frantically rebukes him for his clandestine venture into the village despite Prince Christopher's insistence that he was perfectly safe. He then enters his parents' rooms where his mother, Queen Constantina, informs him that they're planning another little ball so that he can find a suitable bride among all the eligible women in the kingdom, much to his distaste. He wishes to be in love when he gets married, not select a woman like an apple at the market. His father, King Maximilian, understands, but his mother is adamant that it's time he find a bride, and there's no reason he can't do so at the ball. Exasperated that his mother hasn't heard a word he said, Prince Christopher leaves the room.
A day or so later, the ball preparations are underway and the prince is not happy about it. He confronts his mother and demands that the ball be canceled, but she says that it's too late; it's hard to stop a ball once it gets rolling. Lionel, who is helping to decorate the ballroom, uses his diplomatic skills to strike a compromise between the royal family. Prince Christopher will go to the ball, but if he can't find a bride there he will be allowed to find his true love in his own time in his own way without any interference from his parents. The queen reluctantly agrees, making her son so happy he gives her a kiss, his father a hug, and Lionel a grateful pat.
Later at the ball, Prince Christopher is bored beyond measure. Lionel dutifully delivers eligible maidens for him to dance with, but though the prince is trying to be as polite as he can he is clearly unmoved by any of them. Eventually, the stepsisters get their chance at him. Minerva first attempts to amaze him with her poetry, then forcefully tries to make him appreciate it. He frantically signals to Lionel to take Minerva away, who in turn signals the guards. Even so, Minerva does her best to cling to the prince before she is dragged away. Calliope's up next, and she laughs so hysterically at everything Prince Christopher says she snorts uncontrollably. She, too, is quickly taken away by Lionel, and like her sister, she does her best to cling to the prince before she is dragged away. Unnerved by these experiences, Prince Christopher speeds up the the rate of exchanging partners, meaning each new girl only has a few seconds dancing with the prince. He even absent-mindedly dances with Lionel before glancing up and catching sight of a beautiful young woman on the staircase.
Transfixed, the dance comes to a standstill as he gazes at her. As she glides down the steps, he walks to her as if he's dreaming. She curtsies deeply to him, but he gently lifts her chin up. Eyes only for one another, they begin to waltz, gradually filling the room with dancing once more. As they dance, the prince recognizes her from somewhere, but can't quite recall where. They whirl right out into the palace gardens where they can enjoy one another's company alone among the flowers and fountains.They eventually decide to rejoin the ball where they are soon joined by an intrigued King Maximilian and Queen Constantina. The King holds his son back as he visibly worries that his mother will somehow scare the young woman away. His fears are proven to be justified when she suddenly takes fright and runs outside. Prince Christopher immediately follows her into the gardens and apologizes for any embarrassment his parents have caused.
The pair wonder whether their mutual attraction could be love. Prince Christopher confesses that he feels he can truly be himself around her, not what people expect him to be. Just as they share their first kiss, however, the tower clock strikes midnight and the woman runs as fast as she can out of the palace. The prince tries to chase her, even knocking the Stepmother down in his haste, but he is slowed by the crowd to and is unable to catch her, left standing with only her shoe as a clue to her identity.
The heartbroken prince refuses to eat or rest until he finds the girl who has charmed him so, even if it means having every single eligible girl in the kingdom try on the glass slipper until he finds the one whom it fits. Eventually, his quest takes him to the Stepmother's home. The stepsisters and even their mother try on the slipper, but Prince Christopher is absolutely certain none of them are his runaway love. They very conspicuously try to block the doors to the kitchens, but the prince forces them to give Lionel the key. The doors are unlocked to reveal nothing but an ordinary kitchen. Disheartened, the prince prepares to leave but is stopped by the Stepmother, who absolutely begs him to take one of her daughters as his bride as Lionel struggles to reclaim the glass slipper from the much-taller Calliope. Losing patience, Prince Christopher orders the chaos to stop and marches out the door where he spots Cinderella once again almost getting trampled by the royal coach. Recognizing her from their first meeting in the marketplace, he himself places the slipper on her foot which fits perfectly. Elated that they have found each other again, they share a kiss.
Waving to everyone they see, the prince and the new princess ride in a coach throughout the streets on their way to the palace, where they wed at the top of the ballroom stairs under the approving eye of King Maximilian, Queen Constantina, Lionel, and their joyful subjects.

Marcus Sheridan was recently in Kalamazoo and I was able to corral the well-known evangelist for inbound marketing and HubSpot and do a short interview focused on industrial markets. Before my, on-camera, interview with Marcus we chatted briefly about Jay Baer's book titled Youtility, Why Smart Marketing is about Help not Hype. Marcus had done the forward in Jay's, NY Times best seller and #1 Amazon best seller, book and our conversation reminded me about the essence of Jay's book.
"It is not about changing your marketing…it is about changing your mindset."
So…does Jay's YOUTILITY concept of deploying helpful content rather than pitching products work for the typical industrial market? Is a total mindset change really required?
I had read Baer's book earlier but after my conversation with Marcus, I decided to download it on my Nexus 7 and read it again while on vacation and do a review on my blog and focus on Jay's inbound marketing concepts and apply them to the industrial market.
For you industrial marketers not familiar with Jay Baer's work let me just say, it truly is ground-breaking. Especially for the industrial market versus typical consumer markets.
The sub-title of the book gives the industrial marketer a pretty good clue why this is ground-breaking for the industrial marketer…"why smart marketing is about help, not hype"
See…industrial marketers have built their business on hype…mostly pitching products. If they wanted to increase sales they would put more feet on the street. They would increase their budget for trade shows. They would improve their brand message, typically focused on the "best quality" or the "best customer service". They would improve consistency with the trade journals. Features and benefits…aaahh yea! "Let's improve the marketing for our fantastic features and benefits." Hype, hype, hype.
Don't get me wrong, all that is still important, but at the right time…and your customers are now determining the right time.
I know industrial owners well. Most are my age and without exception they all have good instincts. They all sense that the balance of power is shifting from sales hype to something quite different on the web.
The problem is, very few industrial marketers are equipped to handle the radical shift. Most are not terribly computer savvy. Very few are web savvy and even fewer are content savvy. They have never needed those skills when it used to be (and still is, to a large extent) sell, sell, sell. Pitch, pitch, pitch.
So, as I said earlier, a change in mindset is required for the industrial marketing to stay competitive in a changing marketplace.
Jay Baer's book is one of the best places to start for the industrial marketer interested in leveraging all the opportunity the web has to offer.
What I have discovered the last several years is industrial buyers now expect to find answers on your web site, not hype. Industrial marketers that deploy the most helpful and engaging content will be the winners moving forward. Industrial marketers that create great content will establish trust and create top-of-mind awareness in respective industries. For the industrial companies that already have great trust, great reputation and top-of-mind awareness…the web is simply the extension of this, well-earned, marketing asset. Again, the problem is most industrial marketers are ill-equipped the take advantage of this radical shift.
Before the industrial marketer can acquire the skill sets to compete on the web, there must first be a fundamental change in the way they think about sales and marketing.
Baer's book is a great place to start.
I have read and suggested other books on this blog to industrial marketers such as David Meerman Scott's book The New Rules of Marketing and PR and Ann Handley & C.C. Chapman's Content Rules. These two books are great for tactics and exploring unique ways of creating and deploying content, but Baer's book starts at a little higher level. A level best suited for the industrial business owner/marketer.
Before you explore the tactics of content marketing or inbound marketing, fundamental attitude adjustment must take place. (Go ahead…have an adult beverage if you wish) Jay's book will nudge those great instincts you already have and get you to understand how your customer has changed and what you must do to compete.
If you have read this far I suspect that your curiosity has the best of you and you just might purchase Jay's book.
So…let me expand Jay's concepts a step further and tell you why they are an incredible opportunity…especially for the astute industrial marketer.
Jay's whole concept is built around engaging more buyers with helpful content. As your industrial buyer becomes more demanding and impatient, they want more useful ("Youtility") content. As they consume more of your company's content a trust pattern starts to build. So does a pattern of awareness.
But how do you get your buyers to your web site in the first place to consume all this great and engaging content?
Aahhhh…here is the unique advantage that industrial marketers have over many other businesses.
Notice over the past few years how your search queries have changed from "stereo receivers" to "yamaha receivers rx-575 reviews". Of course, Google in their mission of "understanding exactly what you mean and giving back exactly what you want" have trained us to dig deeper for our answers.
In the Age of Google, if your web site is not there to answer those questions…you lose.
And…here lies the opportunity for industrial marketers. Industrial companies and their products are some of the most documented products (and services) in the world. Yet, much of that content remains in file cabinets, in the heads of your staff or in the hands for your sales group. Hardly visible on your most customer-facing sales asset…your web site.
In today's world your industrial buyer will search for "Limitorque linear hydraulic actuator repair" versus "hydraulic actuator". Your buyers will dig deeper and they expect answers…right now.
In this specific example a Limitorque dealer will have plenty of content that will answer the buyers' question. Those answers are in your employees heads and the file cabinets behind you. They just need a strategy and the creative will to produce the content either in a blog post, e-mail newsletter, white paper or e-book that can attract and engage a customer.
(HINT: A blog is the best place to start.)
Once engaged with "Youtility", as Baer describes it, you have earned a fair amount of trust and top-of-mind awareness from your buyer.
Another key advantage, and I do mean KEY advantage, is our competitors are probably not well equipped to develop such a strategy. (There are only 19 pages on the entire web that feature "Limitorque actuator repair") Therefore the amount of content deployed on the web concerning your specific product is very low and gives your company a, first mover, advantage in terms of content strategy.
Take almost any industrial product and this unique advantage is available. In the Age of Google, this is the formula for success for industrial marketers:
Specific customer demand/requests via search engines +
Your company's available content to answer those demands/requests +
A "Youtility"/Helpful strategy +
Low content saturation from your competitors =

Digital Classroom Timers
"I can't imagine trying to keep my class on schedule without a digital timer."
James Sutter, classroom teacher
Without a doubt, a digital timer is one of the most under-utilized pieces of technology available to teachers today.
Whether you need to monitor the length of an independent work period or merely ensure that each of your five student teams has a fair turn at every learning center, you'll soon discover what other teachers already have: a digital timer is an indispensable classroom tool.
And, wow, is this one the best ever!
I've tried a dozen different models and nothing comes close to this high quality model from CDN, the people who supply Starbucks and Panda Express with their timers.
Not only does it count up and down, it's got a magnet on the back and a little flip-up picture frame kind of loop that enables it to hang from a nail.
The big advantage, though, is that students can see the time remaining from across the classroom. There's no other reasonably priced digital timer on the market that is able to do that.

Musical Performance: Gaida & The ILHAM Ensemble
Fri, October 16, 2009 9:00 pm at Alwan for the Arts
(View all musical performances »)
GAIDA & The ILHAM Ensemble
Anwar Diab Agha, violin/oud
Rufus Cappadocia, cello
Amir ElSaffar, trumpet
Doors open at 8:30
Tickets: $15.00, available at the door and online here (a $1.00 fee is added - use printout as your ticket):* * * * *
Gaida is joined by her band ILHAM (meaning "inspiration"), performing both original compositions and classic Arab songs with innovative arrangements, placing an emphasis on improvisation that transcends conventional boundaries.
Listen: http://www.myspace.com/gaidamusicAbout the Musicians:
Gaida is a vocalist and songwriter working at the intersection of the New York Arab and improvised music scenes. Her compositions draw at once on classical Arabic song, Syrian folk traditions, and free improvisations that expand on traditional Arabic maqams (modes) to produce an original and highly personal style marked by great emotional intensity. Gaida has recorded for major motion pictures, including Jonathan Demme's films, Rachel Getting Married and Jimmy Carter: Man from Plains. Her debut CD, Levantine Indulgence was released in winter of 2009.
Born in 1947 in Damascus, oudist/violinist Anwar Diab Agha has performed throughout the Middle East and Europe with Sabah Fakhri, Mayada Hinawi, and Firqat Umayya. He has been a member of the National Television and Radio Orchestra in Damascus since 1969, and has accompanied some of the Arab world's most famous singers, including Fairouz, Sabah, and Wadi al-Safi. He is also renowned as a composer, whose works have been performed by many contemporary Arabic singers. He is currently the leader of Firqat al-Anwar in Damascus.
Rufus Cappadocia has built a solid reputation as one of the most innovative and versatile cellists, performing at well-known venues and music festivals throughout Europe and North America. Playing on a self-designed five string cello that combines an extended technique of the bass and cello, he is able to function as both a lead and rhythm section instrument. He has honed his distinct musical voice into a form of playing that combines near eastern music with groove, blues and jazz sensibilities.
Amir ElSaffar, trumpeter, composer, singer, and santoor player, is garnering an international reputation for his work, both in the traditional Iraqi Maqam and in jazz music. Raised in an Iraqi-American home in Chicago, Illinois, Amir was influenced by an array of musical styles, including Classical, Rock, Jazz, Blues, Arabic classical and folk music and the Iraqi Maqam. Amir has developed a new approach to playing the trumpet, which utilizes the microtuning and ornaments that are characteristic to Arabic music. In addition, he is one of the few in the world that has mastered the Iraqi Maqam, both on the santoor (Iraqi hammered-dulcimer) and as a vocalist.
What critics have said about Gaida:
"Gaida's forthcoming CD, Levantine Indulgence, a song sequence of alluring beauty, is steeped in the traditional music of her Syrian heritage, but also shows the eclectic worldview of a New York singer-songwriter." -David R. Adler, Timeout New York
"[Gaida]'s improvised incantatory lines as an accomplished jazz vocalist might have done… [her] plaintive, gauzy vocals effectively disarmed listeners" -Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

Who Attended the StartUp Toronto Summer Bash?
By Chuck Black
There was only room for four hundred people at the August 9th, 2016 StartUp Toronto Summer Bash, which was held at the Marché Mövenpick in downtown Toronto to celebrate the growth of the Start-up Toronto's Meetup group to 2500 members.
Here are a few of the more memorable attendees.
Michelle Kostiuk and Hans Schnell are from Shoppspace, a group of likeminded entrepreneurs shaking the foundation of co-working in Toronto, at least according to their instagram page.
To learn more, or to check out their co-working space, go to http://www.shopp.space.
Cong Wang is an innovation consultant, entrepreneur and project manager who currently make Kitchener/ Waterloo his home, which makes for quite the commute from downtown Toronto.
His resume currently lists three hats as the innovation consultant & president of Synchronous Incubation and Development Labs, the co-founder & CTO of Verse Software Lab Inc. and the director/ senior technical advisor at INVUZE™ Digital Media Solutions, Inc.
Edward Wensing and Logan Prong are co-founders of Verkspace, a Toronto based co-location facility which takes inspiration from the Scandinavian way of life, balancing hard work with passion, a sense of community, and a connection to the environment.
The name derives from the old Norse term Verk, which is a space to get work done and make things happen.
Svetlana Ratnikova, the chief operating officer for leadership development at the RTG Group, and Margo Langford, a partner at First Stone Venture Partners, each perform different roles to support Canadian start-ups.
Svetlana is part of a team of marketing and creative strategists who help entrepreneurs, companies and nonprofits "create a better world through business."
Margo is part of a venture partnership which plans on raising $5M to make 25 investments in new start-ups over the next three years.
Tessa Thomas is the founder of @FITKNOWTS, which provides five page summaries of the best health and fitness books.
According to Thomas," Books are long. No one has time to read a stack of books each month in search of a few golden nuggets of health and fitness wisdom. "
Her company is addressing that issue.
Arash Alboraz is the CEO of the ARPA Group.
He's currently working on an innovative application, wrapped around elements of gamification theory, which allows for new forms of interaction, including online reviews (but only if you're in the store) and discounts from retail outlets, to their prospects and customers.
Ask Callum Hewitt where he was a month ago and he will tell you that he was working at his old job as a talent manager at Venatrix in the UK, where he was recruiting graduate sales talent for the UK's hottest disruptive tech companies.
He's currently just relocated to Toronto, where he plans to perform much the same role, once he settles in (and gets used to the humidity).
For those who missed the last event, upcoming StartUp Toronto events include a Business Plan Workshop Aug 30, Startup Drinks Sept 13, Marketing Plan Workshop Sept 27, and on Sept 21 will be at the Fundica Roadshow Finale in Waterloo, which will be held at the Accelerator Centre located at 295 Hagey Blvd, 1st floor, Waterloo, Ontario, on Wednesday, September 21st.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Apple ordered to pay $533 million for breaching gaming patents
A federal jury in Texas has ordered Apple to pay $532.9 million for infringing on patents held by Smartflash LLC, in software and games delivered through iTunes, reports Bloomberg.
The plaintiff claimed that Apple infringed three patents related to "data storage and managing access through payment systems" and cited their use in apps like Game Circus LLC's Coin Dozer and 4 Pics 1 Movie. Game companies who used the same technologies settled out of court with Smartflash earlier.
Apple said that it saw no reason to pay royalties on the price of a phone when the dispute was over a single feature. As representing lawyer Eric Albritton put it, "People do not buy cell phones for the sole purpose of using apps."
Smartflash originally sought $852 million in damages, arguing that it was entitled to a percentage of sales of Apple products that access iTunes. The company doesn't sell anything itself and makes money only by licensing the seven patents it holds. It's also suing Samsung and Google, and has previously taken Amazon.com to court as well.

Ephesians 2:20-21
Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord.
When constructing a house the builders have to make sure the foundation is strong or the entire house will collapse into a pile of rubble when the first storm arrives. The foundation is the most important factor of a house, and the same is true in our own lives.
Most of us build on the foundation of money, power, or fame. For a time these may appear solid, but at the first sign of trouble these weak foundations will collapse. There is only one true and perfect foundation on which we should be building our lives and it's Jesus Christ.
But how do we make sure we're building our lives on Jesus? It's simple: spend time with him. This is easier said than done for most of us because we allow our lives to become so busy we all but forget our Maker. But if you want a firm foundation you have to make time.
Read your Bible daily. Worship Him at the top of your lungs while driving to school or work. Talk with Him throughout your day; you don't need to have some epic thirty minute prayer session in order to talk with God. A good relationship with a friend can't be built that way, so how could it with God? I promise if you implement these suggestions into your life you will find your foundation is soon rock solid.
|What are you building your life on?
|What are you doing each day to spend quality time with Jesus? Are you doing anything at all or are you too busy?
|Saturate your days with Jesus and your foundation will become immovable when tough times come.

Over decades, scientists have been scaling devices to increasingly smaller feature sizes for ever better performance of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology to meet requirements on speed, complexity, circuit density, power consumption and ultimately cost required by many advanced applications. However, going to these ultra-scaled CMOS devices also brings some drawbacks. Aging due to bias-temperature-instability (BTI) and Hot carrier injection (HCI) is the dominant cause of functional failure in large scale logic circuits.

Five Gold's Gym locations in Columbia, South Carolina, have rebranded as MÜV Fitness, Spokane, Washington.
The rebrand of the five clubs, which were franchised Gold's Gym locations owned by St. Andrew Fitness Corp., Columbia, went into effect Dec. 1. St. Andrews Fitness Corp. President John Burriss told Club Industry that his decision to rebrand was driven by a desire for expansion. The company plans to open a sixth MÜV Fitness location in Columbia in April 2016.
"We had a great relationship with Gold's Gym," Burriss said. "I love the brand, love the people in it and have lifelong friends in the franchise community."
St. Andrews Fitness Corp., which formed in 1986 prior to becoming a Gold's Gym franchisee, was unable to expand further as Gold's Gym in Columbia due to a corporate decision by Gold's Gym International (GGI), Dallas, Burriss said. St. Andrews Fitness Corp. exercised an option to exit its contract with Gold's Gym on Dec. 1, ending an 18-year run as a Gold's Gym franchisee.
"Nothing against GGI for not allowing that [expansion] – they made a corporate decision," Burriss said. "As I told them, I might be making the same decision if I were in their shoes. But, at the same time, we needed to expand."
The five Columbia MÜV Fitness locations, which average 45,000 square feet, have approximately 40,000 total members. Those members are under contract with St. Andrews Fitness Corp., not Gold's Gym, Burriss said.
Burriss is a partner in the MÜV Brands Inc. ownership group with fitness industry veterans Joel Tallman, Jack Tawney, Chip Schwerzel and Jeff Carlson. Tallman is CEO of MÜV Brands Inc., which has 10 locations operating nationally: four big-box-style MÜV Fitness clubs in Spokane, the first MÜV Training boutique-style club in Portland, Oregon, and 12 affiliate clubs (owned by Tawney) in the Pacific Northwest. Membership dues at MÜV Fitness range between $36 and $39 per month, and dues at MÜV Training are $129 per month. The company has plans to franchise MÜV Brands in third quarter 2016, Tallman told Club Industry.
The relationship between Burriss and Tallman dates back 15 years when Burriss was the third Gold's Gym Franchisee Association president and Tallman was the Gold's Gym senior vice president of global operations.
"John and I used to sit at opposite sides of the table and stare each other down, and we became quite good friends during that process," Tallman said. "That's probably where our relationship really started, and we've stayed in contact."
That relationship – along with relationships with Tawney, Schwerzel and Carlson – combined with the desire to expand led to Burriss' decision to move forward with MÜV Fitness.
"It starts with people, and you have to respect and fully trust those people, which I did," Burris said. "They (MÜV Brands) had proven programming that we wanted to implement in Columbia. We wanted to change our culture from more of a sales-driven culture to a results-driven culture. They had the programs in place that were proven."
