The record will be Snoop's first on Pharrell's I Am Other imprint
Having released 'Reincarnated' under his Snoop Lion alias last year, Snoop Dogg has now signed to Pharrell Williams' I Am Other label for his next rap record.
The yet-untitled album will be produced by Pharrell himself, who has previously worked with the rapper on tracks like 'Beautiful' and 'Drop It Like It's Hot'.
As reported by Billboard, the record – which currently has no due date confirmed – will also feature guest spots from the legendary Stevie Wonder and Charlie Wilson, who recently collaborated with Kanye West on 'Yeezus'.
It'll be Snoop's 13th studio album to date and the first under his better-known moniker since 2011's 'Doggumentary'.
Pharrell has recently worked with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Paloma Faith, Kylie Minogue and Schoolboy Q.
Snoop Dogg made headlines earlier this week after engaging in an online feud with Iggy Azalea, of whom he made several unsavoury comments about on social media. The rapper has since apologised for his role in the argument.

Kinesis Video Streams API and Producer Libraries Support
Kinesis Video Streams provides APIs for you to create and manage streams and read or write media data to and from a stream. The Kinesis Video Streams console, in addition to administration functionality, also supports live and video-on-demand playback. Kinesis Video Streams also provides a set of producer libraries that you can use in your application code to extract data from your media sources and upload to your Kinesis video stream.
Kinesis Video Streams API
Kinesis Video Streams provides APIs for creating and managing Kinesis video streams. It also provides APIs for reading and writing media data to a stream, as follows:
Producer API – Kinesis Video Streams provides a
PutMediaAPI to write media data to a Kinesis video stream. In a
PutMediarequest, the producer sends a stream of media fragments. A fragment is a self-contained sequence of frames. The frames belonging to a fragment should have no dependency on any frames from other fragments. For more information, see PutMedia.
As fragments arrive, Kinesis Video Streams assigns a unique fragment number, in increasing order. It also stores producer-side and server-side time stamps for each fragment, as Kinesis Video Streams-specific metadata.
Consumer APIs –The following APIs enable consumers to get data from a stream:
GetMedia- When using this API, consumers must identify the starting fragment. The API then returns fragments in the order in which they were added to the stream (in increasing order by fragment number). The media data in the fragments is packed into a structured format such as Matroska (MKV). For more information, see GetMedia.
GetMediaknows where the fragments are (archived in the data store or available in real time). For example, if
GetMediadetermines that the starting fragment is archived, it starts returning fragments from the data store. When it needs to return newer fragments that are not archived yet,
GetMediaswitches to reading fragments from an in-memory stream buffer.
This is an example of a continuous consumer, which processes fragments in the order that they are ingested by the stream.
GetMediaenables video-processing applications to fail or fall behind, and then catch up with no additional effort. Using
GetMedia, applications can process data that's archived in the data store, and as the application catches up,
GetMediacontinues to feed media data in real time as it arrives.
ListFragments) - Batch processing applications are considered offline consumers. Offline consumers might choose to explicitly fetch particular media fragments or ranges of video by combining the
GetMediaFromFragmentListenable an application to identify segments of video for a particular time range or fragment range, and then fetch those fragments either sequentially or in parallel for processing. This approach is suitable for
MapReduceapplication suites, which must quickly process large amounts of data in parallel.
For example, suppose that a consumer wants to process one day's worth of video fragments. The consumer would do the following:
Get a list of fragments by calling the
ListFragmentsAPI and specifying a time range to select the desired collection of fragments.
The API returns metadata from all the fragments in the specified time range. The metadata provides information such as fragment number, producer-side/server-side time stamps, and so on.
Take the fragment metadata list and retrieve fragments, in any order. For example, to process all the fragments for the day, the consumer might choose to split the list into sub-lists and have workers (for example, multiple Amazon EC2 instances) fetch the fragments in parallel using the
GetMediaFromFragmentList, and process them in parallel.
The following diagram shows the data flow for fragments and chunks during these API calls.
When a producer sends a
PutMedia request, it sends media metadata in
the payload, and then sends a sequence of media data fragments. Upon receiving the
data, Kinesis Video Streams stores incoming media data as Kinesis Video Streams chunks.
Each chunk consists of the
A copy of the media metadata
A fragment
Kinesis Video Streams-specific metadata; for example, the fragment number and server-side and producer-side time stamps
When a consumer requests media metadata, Kinesis Video Streams returns a stream of chunks, starting with the fragment number that you specify in the request.
If you enable data persistence for the stream, after receiving a fragment on the stream, Kinesis Video Streams also saves a copy of the fragment to the data store.
Producer Libraries
After you create a Kinesis video stream, you can start sending data to the stream. In your application code, you can use these libraries to extract data from your media sources and upload to your Kinesis video stream. For more information about the available producer libraries, see Kinesis Video Streams Producer Libraries.

Feedback Art Farm
Feedback Art Farm
Produce Grower Inc
Fallbrook, California
In my personal experience, the health of my body is optimal when I exercise regularly, get at least 7 hours of sleep nightly and eat well rounded, regular meals.
My health has conversely been affected when I was not getting regular sleep, not exercising and continually eating fast food.
My SHOCK when I learned how conventional food is grown
Reading guidelines for Agricultural Extensions at the more prominent Universities, there are references to State and EPA guidelines for chemical herbicide and pesticide use. This is intended for the safety of the end consumer. I was shocked to discover the facts regarding the chemicals themselves. Some general pesticides or herbicides do not denature or break down for 4 to 6 months even with heavy rains. Rationally, if the vegetable or grain in question being consumed has received two applications of this chemical for its 4 to 5 month lifespan, the bugspray and weed killer may be uptaken in the water by the plant, and can remain active, on the surface of the vegetable or grain when harvested. This means when you buy it, the food most likely has poison in or on it. I began to ask myself if I really wanted to eat poison.
In California, we don't receive the rainfall which is more common in the areas where these chemicals are tested and regulated. So, the rate of chemical bug spray and weed killer decomposition is much slower. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I BEGAN TO GROW MY OWN FOOD. I just don't want to take unnecessary risks.
I grew food on my balcony. I got a sodium lamp to grow indoors when the bugs destroyed my green onions, and the birds made off with most of my cherry tomatoes. I learned which foods need hand pollination indoors and had mixed results. Some of the best, longest lasting bell peppers of my life were closet monsters. I had a sodium lamp in my closet for my yellow bell peppers; tomatoes; basil; green onions; celery and lettuces. 640 square foot apartment in LA excluding the 48 square foot balcony, and I grew where I could. I saved just under $40,000 in food cost in 10 years.
I eat a great deal as an exercise fanatic. I can quantify the quality of the food I eat in how nourished I feel.
I learned that it costs more money to have to eat more food which has less nutritional content.
There is a level of hunger which is gravely more uncomfortable when the food I have been consuming for any period of time is low in nutritional value. It is nauseating, like I will become ill when I get hungry.
I did become ill when I lived in Los Angeles. The environment is thick with smog; cellular and mobile pollution; anxiety and stress from gridlock, population density, tourists and Papparazzi. I worked in the stratigraphic industry of Hollywood: the place with the bulletproof glass ceiling. By eating well and getting more sleep, I was able to overcome my dilemma, but not without thousands of dollar$ spent working with a Nutritionist. I now see how eating healthy, well rounded meals more regularly, I spend less money in the long run by not having to see a Nutritionist; visiting the Doctor less during cold and flu season; feel better and have more energy; notice how much easier it is to get out of bed in the morning; have absolutely no sinus or arthritis probles (both conditions run in both sides of my families, and when I eat the fast food diet, I suffer).
I learned how to determine which foods affected my physical genepool with an elimination diet. Look that up if you are unfamiliar: best thing I did for my education regarding diet. This led me to the Vegetable Queendom and Kingdoms.
Keep track of my learning curve and compare your own knowledge base with my educational process, and we both may learn a thing or two if you want to give some feedback art my way. Follow my blog here: https://feedbackartfarm.wordpress.com/author/feedbackart/

President Barack Obama wants to slash America's ballooning deficit in half by 2013 by cutting spending on the Iraq war, eliminating wasteful public programs and raising taxes on the wealthy, an administration official said Saturday.
"The deficit this administration inherited was $1.3 trillion or 9.2 percent of GDP. By 2013, the end of the president's first term, the budget cuts the deficit to $533 billion or 3.0 percent of GDP," the official said on condition of anonymity.
My thoughts: This is dishonest at best. FY 2008 the deficit was $455. The FY 2009 began October 1, 2008. It is Bush's budget in the sense that he proposed it, but the recently passed $787 billion that will effective balloon the budget to $1.3 trillion belongs on Obama's tab. If you look back at the Bush estimates, Bush was projecting a surplus by 2013. So a $533 deficit is hardly a victory. In addition the actually numbers will be closer to $2.0 trillion than to $1.3 trillion.

Role Of Logo Design In Growth Of A Business
A company logo is a strong business tool. Its use is endemic and it assists to serve different domains. There is a large misconception among people related to the uses of the logo.
People feel that it is necessary only for creating a unique identity and it can't provide any other goal. This misunderstanding deprives organizations of its many other benefits. Therefore, it's important to understand that how the logo can help in getting maximum result from a specific investment. You may also hire professional logo designers from R800-best logo designers.
Today logo design companies have gained an enormous reputation in the market that's why huge money is involved in it. One requires a good budget to obtain a unique and professional looking logo design. Therefore, you need to try to make use of the logo to the utmost.
No doubt that logo creates a unique identity of a business., but it is very important that your logo should act as a communication tool for customers because you will be able to create a strong identity of your business only if your logo is able to communicate the right qualities of a business.
All the characteristics and benefits are interlinked. See your business identity is established when people start spotting you and this can happen only if they are able to find what are the qualities and characteristics of your company.
Logo design helps your business to connect non-verbally with the target customers because it is a visual illustration and an image is worth one thousand words.

The Curious Geometry Of The Petrie House
Many healing rituals and religious ceremonies are being carried out at the moment by various practitioners and metaphysical groups that have adopted traditions originating from numerous Native American tribes. So it was that Yang Wu and Wu Ping left their home for the final time on the afternoon of 2nd April 2007. If the house does not have any window that allow the solar in, adding a skylight or two may be something to contemplate. Some cool (and not so cool) memories coming through whilst I read that :)) Sequins, Shaboo, Set End, Monroes & Life!! I wish a lot that your life were simpler and that you had a secure little residence with the lease all paid the place you and your family could live. So I've been thinking of letting the primary house go back to the bank and then we might move into our rental home. If we promote this home for what its appraised for, we don't have the cash up entrance. So while an individual might have the ability to afford to rent an condominium working a minimum wage job by sticking to a really strict budget, most residence complexes won't rent to him.
There isn't a set period of time to ventilate a home – it varies depending on how a lot moisture is in the air inside and the way much outdoors, in addition to the temperature and the airflow price. They will have to take you to courtroom and get a judgment to do it. They'll solely get a deficiency judgment if the house sells for less than the truthful market worth BUT for those who don't present as much as courtroom, it's likely that the choose will determine in the bank's favor. When you let your own home go into foreclosures, you most likely won't be capable of get financing to buy one other home for not less than two years. My motto holds tight, as tempted as I could be, I cannot go right into a haunted house. Situated on over one hundred acres, the home oversees a flock of chickens and several other horses on a daily basis.
There may be hardly ever something besides fog rising across the haunted house or an ominous full moon, anyway. Freddy played 7 games at Michigan and we want him nothing however good luck at ND. I don't know when he shall be eligible to play as he wasn't on the roster this previous season. No sufficient to paid for food or even cowl the pament..I believed my home is going to go foreclsed pretty quickly. I brought Paul again to my home and made him a cup of tea and a few sandwiches for the train journey, as he was totally penniless.
My dad came from a family of 13 brothers and sisters and although his generation kept in touch and met up for the annual new year's eve get together and on other events, the youthful generations, sadly, did not sustain the tradition – hence Jon and I had never met. The home desperately needs a new roof which is going to make it harder to sell, although technically, in this space, the home itself is worth nothing, the value is all in the land. If the price at that sale is more than what is owed including authorized charges for the foreclosure then it is seemingly the bank should pay you the steadiness. We lived within the condominium for just a few years and then determined to buy a home for more space. If in case you have scrap carpet, that is simply tremendous, especially if you had your own home carpeted and have some leftover for the reason that cat structure will match your house.
If you're absolutely certain that you cannot afford this home, your solely choices are to promote it rapidly for enough to pay off the mortgage (a lot harder stated than carried out, and you will have your boyfriend's cooperation to sign the paperwork) or let the house go through foreclosures. It is one of many fascinations of learning about native history, how even a humble little home can inform us so much about one particular person's life story, or even concerning the nature of the society in which they once lived. Loren offers five friends" $10,000 apiece if they'll spend one night in his haunted home. Flashlights on phones are great, however you need the actual factor at a haunted house. Once you're completely moved out of the house and also you're sure you won't must get back in for any purpose, go ahead and let the mortgage firm know.

Sen. Harry Reid's concerns about the nuclear waste storage
facility under construction at Yucca Mountain in Nevada extend beyond the
normal concerns raised by such a project.
The Associated Press reported that the Democratic
senator from Nevada is concerned because the facility is being constructed by
Bechtel/Parsons-Brinckerhoff, the primary contractor responsible for Boston's ill-fated Big Dig project.
Reid voiced his comments amid an ongoing investigation into
a July 10 collapse in one of the Big Dig's tunnels that left a woman dead.
Bechtel is just one of many parties involved in the Big Dig that has come under
fire in the investigation.
While Reid did not call for Bechtel's removal from the Yucca Mountain project, he did say that the involvement of the company "should concern
everyone," according to The AP.
"If Bechtel can't do a better job on the Big Dig than what
they've done, I don't see why they should be involved with Yucca Mountain," he said.
A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Energy told The AP that the department is doing all it can to assure the quality of the
construction on Yucca Mountain.
The waste dump, which is scheduled to open in 2017, will
hold at least 77,000 tons of radioactive waste.

A producer company is basically a body corporate registered under Companies Act, 2013 and shall carry on these farming related activities – production, marketing, technical & consultancy services, training & education, research & development, generation & transmission of power, revitalization of land & water resources, financial services, insurance, etc. The format of a producer company is a hybrid between a private limited company and a cooperative society; it attempts to combine the goodness of a cooperative enterprise and the vibrancy of a limited company. The same can be formed by two or more producer institutions or ten or more producers.
Benefits of a Producer Company
Limited Liability
A Producer Company is a distinct legal entity and hence the members of the Producer Company are not liable for the debts of the Company. The loss would be restricted to the investment made by the Company.
Better Management
The Company being managed by a Board ensures a professional approach. Further, annual returns are to be filled similar to a Limited Company. The structure also ensures a continuous existence.
With the majority of farmers in India being small and marginal they do not have the advantage of accessing the requisite resources, getting right prices, credit facilities and so on. This collective format enables them to overcome such hurdles facilitating a better growth.

's Oliver Marsh at the R.SA Festival in Schwarzenberg
SAILOR were meant to play at the R.SA Festival in
Schwarzenberg (Germany) for the first time in over 3
years. But the band only consists of Henry Marsh and
Oliver Marsh at the moment after Phil Pickett's departure
last year. And Henry recently had a hip operation from
which he is still recovering. So, instead of cancelling,
captain Oliver took on the difficult and brave job of
entertaining the enormous crowd at the Schwarzenberg
festival on his own, with a backing track made by Henry
especially for the occasion that included the rest of the
music and his backing vocals.
The audience ended up being so impressed by Oliver's voice that the crowd requested an additional encore and he sang a second "Con Te Partirò".
You can see some photos and also my first video bits of this impressive special day below. Enjoy!

Phil Pickett has left
following words are taken from the 2016 re-release of the
book "SAILOR - The Official Biography" by James
McCarraher, page 255.
With Georg deciding to give up live performances in 1995
and being replaced by the formidable virtuosity of Pete
Lincoln, and afterwards other personnel changes over
subsequent years including the arrival at various times
of both of Henry's supremely talented sons, Tom, on
drums, and Ollie, on lead vocals, I soldiered (or
'sailored!') on as the ship's anchorman throughout all
these changes, having been (as recently reminded by
Henry) the only consistent member of SAILOR since its
formation in 1973. The sheer fun, laughter and special
companionship of these years still make me smile every
day of my life.
After this message, James' book continues by saying "SAILOR will continue, with Henry and Ollie at the helm. Coming to a theatre near you..."
Obviously this means that there will be some kind of new SAILOR out there on the stages for us. As soon as I know anything more about the how, where and when, you will of course find the information at this place right here.
We'll miss you aboard the SAILOR ship, Phil. Thanks for so many shows and years of music and fun and special memories. Thanks for being the only band member who was there at all my 118 SAILOR concerts. Ahoy!
All the best for the new year and thanks for your support of this little fan-website!
Best wishes
and SAILOR-greetings,
It is
with deep sadness that I need to tell you that my brother
Karsten Wagner passed away on 16 October 2016 after long
illness. .
Thanks to Georg Kajanus for the lovely tribute on his Facebook page:
and to all SAILORs - old and new - and all the wonderful fans/friends out there for your support.

State College
Schlow library closes temporarily for 'plumbing and temperature' issues
As cold temperatures continue to sweep the area, Schlow Centre Region Library will not be an option for those looking for warm, inside activities.
Schlow, located at 211 S. Allen St. in State College, announced on its website Saturday that the library closed at about 1 p.m. due to "plumbing and temperature" issues, and would remain closed until the plumbing becomes operational.
No time frame was given.
While the physical library is closed, patrons can continue to utilize www.schlowlibrary.org to request and renew items, as well as check out e-books, according to David Pencek, Schlow's communications manager. Those who have materials checked out during the closure period can keep those items until the library reopens, Pencek said. Fines will be waived until after that time.
Schlow also closed three years ago in February when a frozen sprinkler pipe burst on the second floor, destroying more than 1,000 books.
For updates on when the library will reopen, visit schlowlibrary.org, or follow Schlow's Facebook or Twitter pages.

We're all about insights from the inside out.
Unlike any other research company, we truly examine brands from the consumer's point of view.
We do value customers' explicit thoughts and feelings about brands, but we think it's not enough to capture this information using explicit self-report techniques. Overwhelmingly, research shows that we're simply not well enough in touch with thoughts and feelings that drive customer behaviour to expect customers to accurately provide this information.
The trick is connecting with these decision-drivers that act implicitly. That's what NURO does.
Nuro uses cutting-edge data collection and analysis techniques from the cognitive and affective neurosciences to examine customer responses to brands.Unlike any other research company, our approach, research design and data analysis capitalises on leading consumer behaviour and brand strategy models.
The result...research insights that directly connect with customer responses to brand, product, comms. We enable brand and marketing strategy that connects with how customers really think.
We think that your brand will benefit from these insights, and we'd love to show you how.
Nuro Workshops
We understand what goes on in customers' heads and we'd like to share it with your team. Nuro Workshops enable teams by connecting them with leading-edge customer behaviour insights.

3 Reasons Why A Delivery Service Is In Your Best Interest
If you have important documents or packages that you need delivered, using a delivery service might be one of the best moves you can make. There are a number of benefits that come with using these companies that the regular postal service cannot provide you with. When selecting your delivery service, you want to make sure you choose someone who is going to work alongside of your business and get you the results you desire. Not sure if you really need the help of these services? Consider some of the following reasons why it is in your best interest to hire one.
While the majority of the larger carriers do offer a guaranteed delivery date, they don't offer same day delivery service. For those who are operating on an extremely tight schedule and need their package delivered within hours, a courier service is often the best solution. They typically operate within a specified radius, for example 100 miles. They will come to your home or office and pick up the parcel from you and get it delivered right away. This is extremely important when you are dealing with time-sensitive documents that you cannot wait a day or two to get to the customer.
There are countless reasons why people end up shipping a package. The main thing that people care about is that their package arrives where it is supposed to be without being damaged in the process. Since a local courier isn't dealing with a large number of packages all at once, they can take the time to make sure your package is handled with the utmost care. Oftentimes, your package might be the only one they have to take care of at that moment. This gives you the peace of mind in knowing that your package is going to get to its destination safely.
Cost matters when hiring a delivery service. When you are sending materials that you need to arrive somewhere by a certain time and date, you can't play around with a company that can't deliver. Most of the time, you can get a flat-rate price that allows you to keep the rates low, while still getting your package where it needs to be in a timely fashion without worrying about it getting damaged.
The next time you need a packaged shipped, consider calling in a delivery service like Motion Express to get the job done for you. Don't waste time with someone who is going to charge you a fortune when you can save money and get the peace of mind you desire.

Well this is an unexpected surprise.
And no message could have been any clearer.
Well this is an unexpected surprise. Camila Cabello is hard at work on her first solo album. She has an incredible team of superstar producers and songwriters backing her, including OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, Pharrell Williams, Tyler, The Creator, Charli XCX and Max Martin and Major Lazer.
The budding pop star has spent a lot of time in the recording studio, but not much on stage. Fortunately, the 20-year-old took a moment to refresh herself by performing at the ACLU Nationwide fundraising concert organized by Zedd on Monday (April 3). And in a twist of events, Camila sang a cover of Michael Jackson's "Man In The Mirror" off MJ's 1987 album Bad.
It will be interesting to see how she bodes as a solo artist, but this cover is pretty good. She holds her own. Watch:

Online marketing can simply be defined as the use of internet marketing as a means to encourage feedback from your followers. A third term, web marketing, is also used by businesses selling their services or goods to individual customers as well as bulk sales to other businesses for resale. Through the years the internet became a business's biggest marketing tool; allowing information regarding their business to be displayed on many types of sites, increasing awareness of services provided which leads possible customers to their sites. Apply some of the online marketing strategies below and your business amount of site traffic may have a tremendous turnaround.
Some popular marketing techniques included in the field of online marketing are:
Search Engine Marketing: (SEO) Search Engine Optimization use this marketing strategy by placement of paid ads and paid insertion used by businesses to increase page rank through search engine website results. To increase traffic to your site SEO is a vital marketing.
Affiliate Marketing: With this type of marketing businesses recruit their customers to promote their services or products. These customers are known as affiliates that earn commissions or other forms of payment for each visitor, subscriber, sale or customer brought to your site through their affiliate links. Bigger businesses are better equipped to offer this technique; smaller ones can set a goal to use this technique in the future.
Email Marketing: When customers visit your site, give them the option to join your newsletter to receive updates and tips via email. When sending any promotional offers, make sure a link back to your site is included. Since spam can become a major issue for everyone, make sure the people you send email to actually requested it and make sure the subject of the email is distinct; make it known they requested it. This will keep you out of trouble.
Viral Marketing: A marketing technique where companies inspire their visitors to spread the word regarding their services or products. By emailing or posting humorous video clips to their friends and websites is an effort used by businesses in this type marketing strategy. These video clips can be placed on your site, visitors share them with their friends and they in turn go to your site to check out similar items on your site; if you use these.
Display Advertising: This technique includes using banner ads and web banners, created by you or someone else sporting your sites logo of some sort, which are posted on third-party web sites. These types of ads help drive traffic to your site and increases people's awareness about your product or service.
Online marketing provides many benefits, regardless of the one a business may use; affordability, convenience, and enables your business to track any advertising strategies. It is not advised to use all of these marketing techniques so experiment using different ones and decide on the one that is going to benefit your business the most. Be warned, online marketing may allow your business to compete with large businesses; customers may choose your services so be ready for the rush.

Status of the design of the ITER ECE Diagnostic
MetadataShow full item record
The baseline design for the ITER electron cyclotron emission (ECE) diagnostic has entered the detailed preliminary design phase. Two plasma views are planned, a radial view and an oblique view that is sensitive to distortions in the electron momentum distribution near the average thermal momentum. Both views provide high spatial resolution electron temperature profiles when the momentum distribution remains Maxwellian. The ECE diagnostic system consists of the front-end optics, including two 1000 K calibration sources, in equatorial port plug EP9, the 70-1000 GHz transmission system from the front-end to the diagnostics hall, and the ECE instrumentation in the diagnostics hall. The baseline ECE instrumentation will include two Michelson interferometers that can simultaneously measure ordinary and extraordinary mode ECE from 70 to 1000 GHz, and two heterodyne radiometer systems, covering 122-230 GHz and 244-355 GHz. Significant design challenges include 1) developing highly-reliable 1000 K calibration sources and the associated shutters/mirrors, 2) providing compliant couplings between the front-end optics and the polarization splitter box that accommodate displacements of the vacuum vessel during plasma operations and bake out, 3) protecting components from damage due to stray ECH radiation and other intense millimeter wave emission and 4) providing the low-loss broadband transmission system.

New ARS Website Enhances Access to Scientific Information
October 23, 2017
The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) launched a newly designed website today that improves access to information about ARS research. The new site features mobile responsiveness allowing users to better navigate and view information on both mobile and desktop devices.
ARS maintains scientific information stemming from research conducted by nearly 2,000 Federal scientists researching animal and crop health, human nutrition, food safety, and natural resources. The ARS website features more than 300,000 dynamic pages.
"This new design better showcases the research generated by our scientists and allows us to better share ARS research findings that have impacted our nation and our world," Paul Gibson, ARS Chief Information Officer.
Visiting the site, one can learn the stories of ARS's role in mass-producing penicillin; in developing new crops like seedless grapes, carrots, watermelon, and tomatoes; in preventing foodborne pathogens; in developing low-fat cheese; and about countless other ARS discoveries.
Notable new features added to the site include "I Want To," "Trending Topics," and "ARS Research in Your State." ARS has nearly 4,000 active research projects and more than 77,000 publications on its website. The first two features make it easier to quickly find hot topics from ARS's vast research portfolio.
The new format also allows ARS to spotlight the Agency's extensive Image Gallery. These images document ARS scientists and research in action and are available for download free to the public.
For more information contact Tara T. Weaver-Missick, ARS Office of Communications.
The Agricultural Research Service is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief scientific in-house research agency. Daily, ARS focuses on solutions to agricultural problems affecting America. Each dollar invested in agricultural research results in $20 of economic impact.

Garfield Substation Part 1: Electric Substations and the Development of Electric Power in Minneapolis
The Garfield Substation is located on Garfield Avenue South in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Construction of the building was commissioned by the Minneapolis General Electric Company and completed by day labor in 1910. The building is an enclosed electrical substation and it replaced an earlier electrical equipment installation on the site.
PVN worked with the building owner to determine the substation's National Register of Historic Places-eligibility through the submission of Part 1 of the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit Application. The National Park Service determined that the substation is eligible for the NRHP under Criterion C as a representation of the enclosed neighborhood transformer substation, a building type designed to be both functional and aesthetically appropriate while distributing electricity to the surrounding residential neighborhood.
This post—which introduces electric substations and the history of the development of power generation and distribution in Minneapolis—is the first of a three-part blog series on the history of the Garfield Substation.
Update: Our second post is published here.
Electric Substations
Electric substations, such as the Garfield Substation, transmit electric current from generating stations to consumers. There are four different types of electrical substations:
- power station switchyards, which connect generators to the greater utility grid;
- customer substations, which usually serve a single corporate power consumer;
- system stations, large stations which may be switching stations or voltage conversion—or "step down"—stations and which "typically serve as the end points for transmission lines originating from generating switchyards and provide the electrical power or circuits that feed transformer stations;" and
- distribution, or transformer, stations, which are the most common type of substation and which are "usually located in or near the neighborhoods that they supply."[1]
The Garfield Substation is a distribution station. Distribution stations can either be exposed or enclosed—and both types have been popular throughout the twentieth century. Exposed substations, or frame transformers, are more cost effective to construct than enclosed substations. In the early twentieth century, when the Garfield Substation was constructed, a frame transformer could be constructed for a few hundred dollars, while an enclosed substation could cost ten times that amount.[2] Despite their relatively high construction cost, enclosed substations were often deemed a worthwhile investment, as they shielded the surrounding neighborhood from having to view the "ugly" power generating equipment that they contained.
Whether exposed or enclosed, by the opening decade of the twentieth century, the Minneapolis General Electric Company required substations to distribute power from its generating plants to its customers.
Development of Electrical Power in Minneapolis
The City of Minneapolis was originally lit by gas supplied by the Minnesota Gas Light Company. In 1881, only two years after Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, a group of prominent Minneapolis businessmen, including William D. Washburn and C.M. Loring, organized the Minnesota Electric Light and Electric Motive Power Company. The company, which quickly changed its name to the Minnesota Brush Electric Company, worked to harness hydroelectric power generated by St. Anthony Falls and led the transition from gas lighting to the electrification of Minneapolis streets, businesses, and homes.[3]
Before the formation of the Minnesota Brush Electric Company, electric lights were used primarily by Minneapolis's industries. Minneapolis mills constructed small electric plants on site to provide electric power to their facilities. "Textile mills, flour mills, and other facilities working with combustible substances" were early adopters of electric lighting because it provided an element of safety that gas could not match.[4] As Nye writes in Electrifying America: Social Meanings of a New Technology, "While gas could leak out, fill a room, and explode, electricity posed no such danger when a light bulb broke…"[5]
These small power plants depended on direct current power. The direct current system generated relatively low voltages (around 110 volts), which weakened as the current traveled through copper distribution lines.[6] The current could not be converted to a higher voltage to enable it to travel further. As a result, a direct current system could only supply power within about a mile of the generating plant.[7] In order for direct current power to electrify a metropolitan area, many small power generating stations would have to be constructed in neighborhoods throughout the city.[8]
To overcome the distribution limitations of the direct current system, in the late 1880s alternating current transformers were invented. This new system, which was introduced to the public at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition, was able to transmit low voltage current a distance of more than one mile without significant degradation.[9] As a result, alternating current quickly became the standard system for the transmission of electricity.[10]
In its first year of operation, the Minnesota Brush Electric Company constructed a hydroelectric power station on Upton Island in the Mississippi River near St. Anthony Falls. The plant, named Upton Station, produced the first centralized hydroelectric power in the nation on September 5th, 1882.[11]
In 1883, with its newly harnessed hydroelectric power, Minnesota Brush Electric Company set out to gain a contract with the City of Minneapolis, which had an exclusive contract with the Minnesota Gas Light Company to light the city's streetlamps.[12] Minnesota Brush Electric Company built a 257-foot pole in Bridge Square (located at the intersection of Nicollet and Hennepin Avenues) to light the entire downtown district and prove to Minneapolis' citizens that arc lighting was safe.
The demonstration was successful, and the company contracted with the City of Minneapolis to install eight electric street lamps on Washington Avenue between Fourth Avenue North and Eight Avenue South.[13] The increased illumination provided by the electric street lamps demonstrated their advantages over gas light and, as a result, in 1884 the city increased the number of electric light poles to thirty-five.[14]

This conference is organised by the Confederation of Indian Industries in subfunding by the Canadian Government. Mr. Georg Dirk is co-sharing one of the conference sessions together with Dr. Vimal Kumar, Head of Fly Ash Mission, New Delhi. Mr. Dirk and will be presenting: "NASHIK FLY ASH RECYCLING PROJECT : A Case Study by DIRK Group". Confrence venue:Taj Palace, New Delhi 12th-13th December 2005
The only mass application for the Fly Ash which was initially concieved as the waste from coal fired power stations is in concrete, either by high percentage cement replacement or by producing Pozzolan Portland Cements (PPC) with lower replacement rates.
The Canadian Government in cooperation with teh CII has been funding a very successful awareness campaign for the High Volume utilization of Fly Ash. This conference will showcase the findings of this project.
It is noticable that the perception of Fly Ash into "a valuable raw material" has been the result of such initiatives and the educational work into which Dirk India invested IRs 5cr. and culminated in creating the privatly funded Maharashtra Fly Ash Information Center.

"The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress." – Ramana Maharshi
Daily Nugget of Gold 1566
Disciplined Thought
Actually, our title here is a little deceptive. What we mean by that is that the greater amount of discipline involved here isn't so much in thinking- it's in non-thinking. Yes, we speak of meditation yet again- but don't think that it will always be necessary to use prolonged meditation for this, no- we're going to discuss a shorter and easier way to accomplish the goal of disciplined thought on something.
First, let's talk about regular meditation and the advantage it gives us. A person who meditates daily is building the ability to focus on a single thought by clearing the mind of all others. The longer a person practices meditation, the higher the skill level in doing this- which just makes sense, doesn't it? If we can quiet down all the usual chatter in our brains and focus on one thing to the exclusion of everything else, you can see where this would give us a huge advantage in holding one thought in the frontal lobe- the area of our brain designed to turn thoughts into reality.
Okay, enough on that for the moment, we teased you by saying there is another way and it was easier. This method involves relaxing our muscles, taking a moment to be calm and quiet, then drawing in a deep breath and just as we do that, we focus our mind on our desire. In that moment we wish to see ourselves as already in possession of the thing we want and to feel the feeling of pleasure we'd have by having it or experiencing it. We release our breath after a few seconds. That's it. Yes, we need to repeat it- but that's the whole procedure.
How often should we do this? Maybe a few times in one sitting, certainly a few times a day as well. We may want to use a trigger to remind ourselves of it throughout the day, but this isn't complicated, is it? The mind isn't bound by continuous time in what it can produce, it's more attuned to importance, and importance is measured by the amount of emotion we feel. If something is extremely emotional to us, it has the best chance of shaping our behavior. Things with little or no emotion? They're just "background" and cannot have a meaningful chance of creating the conditions were we get what we seek.
Discipline isn't a dirty word when we employ it ourselves- on ourselves in order to see the results we'd like. Self discipline is a wonderful thing.
Question of the Day to Ask Ourselves
"What can I do to remember to practice disciplined thought daily?"

Neha Dhupia denies undergoing botox
The sexy siren rubbishes the report of a local newspaper that reported she had undergone Botox to get rid of laughter lines and other finer lines on her face.entertainment Updated: Jun 11, 2010 13:05 IST
Hindustan Times
A city newspaper reported that actor Neha Dhupia had undergone Botox to get rid of laughter lines and other finer lines on her face. When asked, Dhupia flexes her facial muscles and says, "Look! I can move my face in seven directions! I'm a very organic person. I don't even get hair extentions and fake nails — let alone Botox."
Thanks to her ever-so-changing image in the movies, Dhupia recently shot her third edition of the AXN Action Awards that turns five this year. We wonder what made her switch from 'oomphy' to 'meaty' roles.
Dhupia admits that making the switch from Sheesha and Julie to Ek Chalis Ki Last Local and Maharathi hasn't been easy.
"But what you see in the latter, is who the real Neha Dhupia is. These roles have made people believe that there is more to me than just oomph," she adds.
The actor says that what the audience saw of her before she took on a string of small-budget-deep-meaning films wasn't the person she really is.
"I was trying to be someone I wasn't. I was branded seductive and sexy which I don't think I am. Playing 'sexy' roles wasn't my forte. Sometimes to make that one correct move ahead, you have to go four steps behind," says Dhupia, adding that she's well looking for a change again, but doesn't know what the change would really be.
Sex and the movies
Given the recent increase in sexual content in the movies, does she agree that sex sells?
Dhupia agrees, "The recent biggest blockbuster had three women parading in bikinis in the middle of exotic locales (referring to the Housefull actors, Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta and Jiah Khan). What else can I say then, haan?"
Upcoming films
With Love to Obama
It's a satire in which I play Munni Madam, modelled on politician Mayawati. I had to watch a couple of videos on youtube to learn her dialect and the way she commands her men. It was an enriching experience.
Dear Friend Hitler
I play the Nazi leader's girlfriend Eva Braun. I am yet to start my research on her. The script came my way two years ago, but Kher saab (Anupam Kher, who plays Hitler) and I felt that the script had to be Indianised a bit. The director/writer agreed with us. He reworked the script. We heard it and locked it.
The most interesting aspect of playing Eva will be that I can model her the way I want to because not much is known about her. In fact most books and movies based on her portray her in different ways.
Action Replayy
It's with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Akshay Kumar. I can't talk much about this one, but it was a pleasure working with the two.

Damned Yellow Swans - Damned Yellow Swans (Fuck It Tapes CS)
Another day, another Yellow Swans release. At least that's what they tell me because I sure haven't been keeping up - the last Yellow Swans album I heard in its entirety was 2004's "Bring the Neon War Home", and although I did see the much-lauded "Psychic Secession" disc in the used bin of a local record shop, I passed it up for some reason...probably because I already had a fistful of other goods to purchase. Maybe it's the one that got away. For now though I've tuned myself back in to the realm of Pete Swanson and Gabriel Saloman by picking up this value-priced c20 done up right by the Fuck It Tapes label. The words I came across for this release had it pegged as every bit as vicious and delicious the "Damned" prefix would imply (they use a different D-word with every release dontchaknow). I was not let down - this is a pretty aggressive blat from two pretty spacey sounding dudes, at least that's the vibe the Wire peace gave off (and I mean it as a compliment). The tape art as you can see is particularly gruesome in keeping with the spirit of the whole thing, and is that a dab of goat's blood I spy off to the right? Well my head says it's nail polish but my heart won't have any of that noise.
What noise I will have some of, however, is what comes a-rushin' out of the speaker upon playback. Talk about your thick, ominous clouds of heavy dust-n'-smoke...all whirling and billowing and stinging your eyes and flooding your nostrils. The duo rattle out some kind of wretched aggro guitar/electronic thunder, sounding not entirely unlike Campbell Kneale's Black Boned Angel or one of the more drone-metal oriented acts on his Battlecruiser label. Picture some kind of cracked-lip heaving into a thousand ancient and rusted trumpets and now you're dabbling in the right ozone. Somewhere later in the track there's scads of tiny little squiggles popping out and dancing underneath the gathering fog - before too long it escalates into quite the white-hot screaming noise stew. Just the way mom never made it.
The flip is all the more wrecked, a complete sensory overload of crumpled black stasis. Lotsa waves of busted electronics pushed to eleven repeatedly raining down upon your tiny eardrums from the heavens, backed by a sinister freight-train-in-the-distance asteroid-hurtling-towards-earth rumble. Goes down easy for something that's so tough to chew. The coda is the drained/lonesome sound of the planet's apocalyptic groaning, total American Tapes ground zero effect. What's not to like?
This was a pretty good taster for what webs Yellow Swans are spinning as we speak, but like Irmin Schmidt once said, I want more. Unfortunately I don't know where to look - the "Swan News" section of their website is busted! So I'm pretty much clueless. And useless. What're you even doing here anyhow? What am I doing here? Sheesh...

This here, is my 100th blog post.
Don't expect too much. No blog party in sight. I wanted virtual chamagne and party poppers; instead I had to settle for a blast to the past. Enjoy.
In the early days, my blogging journey began as an outlay for my thoughts, worries and ideas during my pregnancy with F. I wanted somewhere to document my journey, a pregnancy diary, so to speak.
When it comes to mummy blogs, I have lots to be thankful for. Being one of lifes 'nosey parkers', I found that reading about women's personal experiences made me laugh, cry and sometimes wonder what the bloody hell I'd let myself in for! I had no idea what motherhood would mean except what was portrayed in a text book. Mummy blogs opened my eyes and prepared me for a whirlwind life of sh*tty nappies, night feeds and the wonders of projectile vomit! Thank you mummies!
In celebration of reaching the 100 mark, here is a re-cap of a few of my favourite posts so far.
By far one of my favourite posts was 'Where the Journey Began.' One of my first posts; short and concise, I talked about the moment I told Mr C I was pregnant. Shattering every illusion of any romantic ideal I ever hold, it turned out I told him in a pub car park. Not as I imagined but reading the post, it feels like yesterday and has made me emotional already. (That is without the virtual champagne!)
The next few posts followed in quick sucsession and were also pregnancy related with 'For the First Time' and '20 Week Scan... Half Way There!' . Initally, I felt that i'd not really found my blogging feet. I was stuck for ideas as to what to write about and lacked inspiration, worried that my writing was boring and that I didn't use 'big words.'
Soon after came an all time favourite of mine; 'How Important is Marriage?' in which I discussed my fears of being Miss B once Freddie came along. You'll be sad to know, I am still Miss B and he's still not put a ring on it, or even attempted. These days we are too busy to even contemplate planning (and funding) a wedding. Mr C has assured me that 2013 is the year of the diamond; I await with baited breath. This post also gained my first ever blog comment.
With my confidence growing and my first blog comment under my belt, I felt like i'd found my blogging feet and I was no longer sinking. At this point, I took the opportunity to introduce myself properly with the help of a blog challenge: '#1 Introduction & Recent Photo'. This post was shortly followed by more testing questions such as 'Should Men be present at the birth of their child? and 'Is it time to give us Women a break?'
I went on to blog about NHS Parentcraft Classes and my Baby Shower. During this time, I had taken reduced hours at work prior to my maternity leave starting so I felt that I had more time to immerse myself in the blogging community. I wrote weekly pregnancy updates that are lovely to read and reflect on. My only regret during this stage was not taking more pictures of my pregnant bump. I miss it greatly and have made a pact with myself that I will take weekly snaps during my next pregnancy.
The next few months, saw the arrival of F, juggling night feeds and nappies. There was no better way to celebrate than with a commemorative post; Welcome to the World!,
This was shortly followed by an occasion to divulage too much information about bowel habits, episiotomy and 'plugs' (and not the electrical sorts.) These posts were' My Labour Story Pt. 1, then followed by even more gorey details in 'Part 2'.
These were my all time favourite blog posts that I thoroughly enjoyed writing. Blogging allows you the opportunity to write about things you may not necesserily speak about in day to day life; afterall, my Grandad didn't want to know about my episiotomy but through 'A Whole 9 Months', I could document the whole occasion, even the grotesque.
More recently, my posts have revolved around Freddie. I have been writing monthly letters to him; usually written on a night fuelled by a glass of Rose, they are often emotional! I love the thought of having these to look back on and remember when he's a horrible smelly teenager who 'hates me!' Only a few days, I spoke about how I've become an emotional wreck since having F. I worried that it wasn't normal but since blogging about it, other mummies have been able to put my mind at rest and reassure me that, we're all softies!
I love the fact that I have somewhere in this huge world of cyber space to write about me and my F.
A place where I can reflect; somewhere I can be me, whatever mood I am in.
Sometimes I want to write a piece that is hilarious; sometimes I want to be emotional and I may write a raw post. Sometimes it may contain too much information, others it may be about the mundane occurances of day-to-day life. Whether I get a million readers or just those few that stumble here by pure coincidence, | am enjoying continuing to blog.
Here's to another 100 posts.
Thank You! x

Miss Axe reads about HR thought leaders
The entire HR department (Ms Cynthia Axe from Early Bird Retirement; Hugh White from Diversity and yours truly) went to the hospital to visit CEO Stan, who is recuperating from an illness that there is no need to discuss.
When we entered Stan's room, Comrade Carl Marks, our acting CEO, was chatting with Stan's wife Wifey, who was positioned at an angle that allowed her to control the goings on in the room. Carl did not used his feigned Russian accent.
Wifey had prepared chairs and we all sat around Stan's bed, avoiding asking him how he feels. My dad always told me "there are some questions you don't ask, mon choux."
Wifey stopped all conversations and asked, "Who is reading what"? Then she answered her own question. "I am reading Anna Caltabiano's book on Eternity, The Seventh Miss Hatfield. I read everything that young Ms Caltabiano writes, as should you all. Gloria, please buy this book for all the staff."
I took out my Blackberry (Passport) and jotted down an action item. An HR manager without action items is like a fish without water, as it were.
Comrade Carl Marks told us that he reading "my 3004th book about the Battle for Stalingrad, and the heroism of the Red Army".
Hugh White from Diversity informed us all that he was reading about "Coughing at Work", from a Diversity perspective.
Hugh asked Wifey if Caltabiano's book is "diversity-friendly". (Hugh White is a source of deep embarrassment).
Cynthia Axe informed all of us that she was reading a great biography of an HR thought leader. I was so proud of her.
I told the crowd that being an HR thought leader demands my whole attention, and I only read text messages, 22 hours a day.
Wifey looked at me without compassion, and said, "Gloria, we have such a good relationship. Read Caltabiano' s book about Eternity. You too, Comrade Carl, enough of this world war two nonsense of yours".
Stan had closed his eyes, and dozed off. But he looked uncomfortable.
As we left the room, Wifey turned to Ms Axe- "the heroine of the Caltabiano book is named Cynthia, Miss Axe."
Little does Ms Axe know that the next book Wifey has asked us all to read is The Land of the Green Plums, which no one understands, although (because) the author got le prix Nobel de littérature, which is French or Danish, I believe.
Stan looked uncomfortable.
