Vol. 63 No. 48 Friday, Dec. 1, 2006 VCNO talks candidly about Navy's futureStory by MC1 Igo Wordu, Public Affairs OfficeGuantanamo Bay Sailors had the opportunity to bring their concerns to the attention of senior Navy leadership during an 'All-Hands' call with Vice Chief of Naval Oper-ations (VCNO), Adm. Robert Willard, held in the Wind-jammer Ballroom, Nov. 27. The VCNO's visit to GTMO is part of a familiarization tour of Navy installations around the world. He was accompanied by his wife, Donna, who was interested in quality of life on this unique, remote overseas location. They spent two days touring station and Joint Task Force (JTF) facilities. ADM Willard told the assembled company of more than 400 Sailors, that although he receives regular comprehensive feedback from senior leadership in GTMO, his visit affords him the opportunity to interact directly with junior Sailors in order to gain firsthand knowledge of their living and working conditions. "This is a discovery mission on my part," he said. "GTMO is no longer a small cadre of individuals here intending to keep the lights on. Rather, servicemembers are here now, not just dealing with the detention center, but dealing with all the logistics and support of various military activities. It is important that senior leadership pay occasional visits to installations like GTMO just to put eyes on things." He stressed the importance of the feedback from the troops who perform their duties because it guides senior leadership in making the right decisions for the Navy. "We need to make sure that Navy is doing what we need to do to support you here," said ADM Willard. The VCNO addressed questions from Sailors about quality of life issues, Added Incentive Pay (AIP), retention, recruitment, states' taxes, Individual Argumentation (IA), and other incentives geared towards improving Navy's capabilities. He explained processes involved in developing and implementing plans and strategies that make the Navy more capable in accomplishing assigned missions. He added that the Navy is working on setting aside money and approving policies to adjust incentives, high-year tenure, and Selective Re-enlistment bonuses.

Online holiday shopping has become very popular as well, especially in remote areas such as GTMO. Holiday parties and travel to distant places add to the financial burden. Ideally, you've planned and budgeted for the holidays all year long. But for many of us, it's not until the decorations go up that we start thinking about how much we are going to spend and where the money will come from. Credit card balances sky-Story by Paul Walker, Fleet and Family Support Center Financial EducatorSurviving the holidays without debtrocket. Some delay paying bills for the month. The result? Seasonal expenses that strain our personal finances and create stress during what is supposed be a joyful time of year. You can avoid this stress by following these tips on holiday money management from the Federal Consumer Information Center: — Draw names. If your list of family and friends is long, suggest this approach to gift giving. — Set a price limit for purchased gifts. Stay within a budget. — Give a gift from one family to another family, rather than individual gifts for all. — Pass on a family heirloom. These often are cherished forever. — Take advantage of seasonal bargains. — Consider giving priority to gifts that can't be boughtsuch as time or self -made items. — Use credit wisely. Keep track of the total amount of credit used. It's best to stay within a budgeted amount that can be paid off before incurring finance charges. It's not too early to begin thinking about next year. Consider joining an interest-paying holiday savings club at your bank or credit union. Taking control of your holiday spending helps you avoid seasonal stress, allowing you to enjoy this time of year with family and friends. Happy Holidays from the Fleet and Family Support Center.

Social Security warns public about email scamThe Social Security Administration (SSA) has issued a warning regarding an email scam that has surfaced recently. SSA has received several reports of an email message being circulated with the subject "Cost-of-Living for 2007 update" and purporting to be from the Social Security Administration. The message provides information about the 3.3 percent benefit increase for 2007 and contains the following. "NOTE: We now need you to update your personal information. If this is not completed by Nov. 11, 2006, we will be forced to suspend your account indefinitely." The reader is then directed to a website designed to look like Social Security's Internet website.

Foley, Manager Policy & Operations DoN Civilian Benefits Center information and credit card information. All personnel should take precautions when giving out personal information. Never provide your Social Security number or other personal information over the Internet or by telephone unless you are extremely confident of the source to whom you are providing the information.

3 Friday, Dec. 1, 2006Story and photo by MC1 Robert Lamb, NAVSTA Public AffairsGalley staff puts out all the fixin'sBefore anyone starts complaining about how many mouths they've fed on Thanksgiving Day, consider what the Gold Hill, Leeward, and Seaside Galleys' food service staffs had on their plate. While many residents of Guantanamo Bay were home preparing a Thanksgiving meal for a small group of family and friends, the staffs of all three galleys were up early preparing for an estimated 1,400 customers, quite a larger crowd than a normal home gathering. "PENTAD provided excellent support for the Thanksgiving dinner preparation," said Mike Firme, facilities manager for Gold Hill Galley. The Food Service Staff at all three galleys combined to slice more than 1,400 pounds of turkey, 1,000 pounds of roast beef, 190 pounds of ham, and prepare 350 pounds of shrimp. It wasn't just servicemembers on duty who were served a traditional Thanksgiving dinner on Nov. 23. Everyone on station was welcome those on duty, civilians, contractors, and anyone else who didn't want to slave over a hot stove for justCharlie Ganal, Gold Hill Galley Chef, cuts through a turkey like a surgeon. The galleys combined to serve more than 1,400 pounds of turkey during the Thanksgiving Day meal.two or three people. "I never think twice about enjoying holiday dinners at our Gold Hill galley," said NDC(DSW) Jose Castillo. "The friendly staff always does a top-notch job with the food and presentation. My daughter, Phoenix, particularly enjoys the stuffing, and I like the boat-load of shrimp and freshly made cocktail sauce." The culinary expertise of the GTMO food service staffs that is expected on a daily basis, really shines on holidays, like Thanksgiving and Christmas. The food service staffs might not always get the glory and the recognition that they deserve, but on such a special holiday, they know that patrons are lining up for a great hot Thanksgiving meal with all the fixin's. "Pentad's professional attitude and high degree of personal initiatives have been a key factor in the consistent food service currently enjoyed in the general mess," said Firme. "Gold Hill Galley continues to be a flagship facility, and general feeding continues to increase for both Gold Hill and Seaside Galleys due to strong customer satisfaction."VCNO talks candidly ... RDML Harry Harris Jr., the JTF commander, noted that there are a number of incentives being considered for those stationed in GTMO, including Hazardous Duty Pay Location (HDPL). "As most of you know, we just received approval for HDPL," said RDML Harris. The Naval Station got a $50 increase, and JTF got a $150 increase." In his closing remarks, ADM Willard expressed his appreciation for the work being done by the senior leadership and every military and civilian person in GTMO. "This is a wonderful opportunity to be here," he said. "We have a lot of Sailors here who are working in very difficult and challenging circumstances, and doing work that is a little outside the norm. We (senior Navy leadership) are very, very proud of the work everyone is doing here for our Navy, and the War on Terror."

Key aspects of NSPS are designed to value talent, reward contribution, and promote excellence; ensures employee performance objectives are aligned to the mission of the activity, DON and the DoD; increases DON's ability to retain and recruit highly skilled employees; promotes a system in which pay progression is driven by performance and/or attainment of competencies and not longevity; and lastly allows flexibility for meeting mission changes. The goal of NSPS is to enhance effectiveness through a simplified personnel management system that improves the way Department of Navy (Don) hires and assigns, as well as compensates and rewards employees. Merit system safeguards, such as protection from discrimination, ensuring merit based selection, and Veterans preference remains under NSPS. Additionally, employee benefits such as leave accrual, insurance, and retirement will not change under the NSPS. Questions such as "Why do we need the National Security Personnel System?," "What advantages does it offer to me?," "How can DoD implement NSPS when the Court permanently enjoined DoD from implementing certain parts of NSPS?," "Are wage grade employees covered?," "What happens to my retirement, health insurance, and other benefits when I convert to NSPS?," and "What kind of support will I receive to handle this?," are a sampling list of employee and supervisor/manager questions concerning the NSPS taken from The Department of Defense NSPS website located at www.cpms.osd. mil/nsps.The National Security Personnel System (NSPS)Yard of the Quarter — HMCM Ira and HMC Venecia Wenze are congratulated by CAPT Mark Leary, NAVSTA Commanding Officer, after their home was selected as one of the winners for 'Yard of the Quarter."

8 Friday, Dec. 1, 2006Story by MC1 Robert Lamb, Public Affairs OfficeJellyfish accompany swimmers 'Across the Bay'Photo by MC1 Robert LambMore than 50 people signed up to participate in the first annual "Across the Bay" swim, but as the start began, only 48 people entered the water and completed the 1.75-mile distance between the Windward and Leeward sides of Guantanamo Bay on Nov. 25. "This was not a race, but a challenge," said Audrey Chapman. Swimmers with long-distance experience, thrill seekers, and maybe a few people who thought 'why not', took part in the "Across the Bay' swim from Phillips Dive Pier to Leeward Beach on Saturday, Nov. 25. Sponsored by the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Dept. for the Naval Station, the event began about 6:30 a.m., with the breakdown of safety tips, and then the swimmers entered the water. The bay was a little rougher than normal on this particular morning. At 6:55 a.m., the outside temperature was 74 degrees, with winds around 10 mph., mostly cloudy skies and very choppy surf. Every effort was made to help the swimmers feel at ease during the 1.75-mile event. The swimmers were flanked by some of GTMO's finest lifeguards in kayaks and pontoon boats, while volunteer scuba divers and even the Coast Guard patrolled nearby. "I was very hopeful that the bay would be "glass" like it usually is at that time of day. But with recent rains, wind, etc, there was more wind chop than usual for 6:30 a.m.," said LCDR Cindy Kuehner, NC, USN, Family Nurse Practitioner at U.S. Naval Hospital, Guantanamo Bay. "I knew I could swim the distance. I knew the goal would be in sight and that I would finish," she added. Following a straight course was difficult due to the current and sea swells. "I couldn't see other swimmers, and had no idea how I was doing. I had a few moments where I thought the chase boats and lifeguards were going to come retrieve me and tell me that I looked like I was having a hard time. I felt like I was having a hard time. Other swimmers were probably much closer than I realized, but I just couldn't see them over the waves," she said. Many of the swimmers had to adjust to more than just cooler temperatures and large waves, they needed to deal with sea creatures too. Marine invertabrates or 'jellyfish' blanketed the path the swimmers swam. "I was prepared for some distractions, swallowing salt water, waves, tides, but had not considered jellyfish," said Kuehner. "The welts I have on the right side of my body and my face speak for themselves. I did not factor them in. "I dive a lot in the bay and have never encountered as much burning and stinging. I could see many jellyfish, while swimming, but never saw the ones that got me. You couldn't get around them. I felt like I was on fire, literally for much of the swim. I don't think anyone escaped them." Even with all of the obstacles, the swimmers pressed on and did their best to finish. "Out of 48 participants only about 10 were picked up before reaching the finish," said Audrey Chapman, MWR fitness coordinator. "The first three finishers, although this wasn't a race, were Jonathan McComb, 1:04; Kim Murphy, 1:06; and David Schneider, 1:09." MWR marked the event by presenting all participants with certificates of their accomplishment. "It was a challenging swim, but I had a great time, and I would do it again," recalls Kuehner. "I might go with more skin protection next time, not a full wet suit, but maybe a skin of some sort. The certificates at the end, complete with our name in calligraphy and a beautiful picture of the island were a great reward to have to show for our efforts."

Nick Donaldson is a systems engineer and programmer hailing from Winchester, UK, and now based in San Francisco. In his leisure time he builds robots. Pretty amazing ones. Since 2004, his multipods Ziggy and Flik have taken home a dozen medals in the RoboGames Walker Challenge event, in which contestant 'bots have three minutes to autonomously navigate a 1m × 3m obstacle course strewn with junk, then climb a set of steps.
Shown here is his latest creation, Glider, a six-legged linear-frame walking machine with cleverly designed forelegs featuring conventional rubber feet as well as wheels (which are off-the-shelf inline skate parts) mounted at an interior angle. The robot can thus configure itself for rolling or walking by the simple expedient of changing its stance.

Well the wind was blowing, the rain circled around, and a former Open champion and and a former top ten player showed just why Turnberry is so tough when you add a bit of wind to this magnificent course.
I decided to follow the 12.36pm group of Australian Adam Scott, American David Duval and Englishman Nick Dougherty as they set to attempt to conquer this Ailsa course.
Dougherty (even) led the two other golfers (+1) after the first round, but all three knew that a decent round today would mean a chance to stay for the whole weekend and of course put them in contention for the championship as a whole.
Duval opened up with a birdie to get his round going in the right direction but then a double on the 2nd put him under a dark cloud.
Conditions became more blustery around the turn and he really struggled with his accuracy off the tee especially on 8 where an errant tee shot led to a double bogey, his second of the day… but not his last as a double bogey on 14 and two small missed putts on 17 and 18 left him at 7 over and out of the weekend.
Adam Scott had no problem finding the fairways, but his problems came with his irons, as he consistently missed the green, sometimes unfortunately like on the par-4 14th where having missed the fairway he played a fantastic long iron into the green only to get a nasty bounce into the sand.
A missed birdie chance on the par-5 17th meant that he finished with a round of 4 over and a tournament round of 5 over meaning he is right around the cut mark.
The big success story was Dougherty, followed faithfully around the course by his better half who cheered on his every shot he can be extremely pleased by his level par round of 70.
Willing to keep his shots low and under the wind and putting quite superbly his only real blemish was an errant tee shot on 5 which led to a double bogey 6 on 5 and having put his tee shot in a faiway bunker on 16 had to chip it out 20 feet sideways which led to another dropped shot.
But three birdies on 6, 10 and 14 thanks to two huge putts and one magnificent iron approach meant that a level par round in the blustery and occasionally wet conditions means he will be in the top 20 going into round 3.
Conditions on the course really were tough, the first ten holes played by the coast are mainly into the wind and you then get a slight rest on 13 and 14 when you are the course's lowest point before the wind comes into play again for the closing holes.
The wind was strong today but it could get much stronger over the weekend and if that happens level par could win the championship.
The final word must go to the organiser and officals, each group are followed by an eight strong group of scorers, marshalls and the like, and that doesn't even start to include the spotters, scoreboard attendants and security that are dotted around on each of the holes.
They keep fans and players happy and there must not be many sporting championships where you can get as close to the action as at an Open championship.

Armin van Buuren @ Echostage - 1.24.15
Monday, November 10, 2014, 12:00pm. (Updated: 1/26/15 at 2:37pm) Add comments
Saturday January 24, 2015
2135 Queens Chapel Road NE • Washington, DC
Doors 9 PM | No dress code | Ages 18+
Bottle Service: email@example.com | 202.503.2331
This is a man driven by an unbridled and relentless passion for music. Armin van Buuren is a born perfectionist, striving to stay on top of the scene he's helped build. The flag-bearer of the trance movement, he's one of the most influential figures in EDM worldwide. Even though he lives an extraordinary life as one of the world's most popular DJs, he has always remained a down-to-earth guy. Armin van Buuren is constantly on the move, either with the music he creates in his studio or en route to his next high-end club or festival show around the globe.
Armin: "It's not just love for music, it's my passion. It goes beyond liking, and beyond a hobby. It's about a way of living. Music is essential to my life."
For more than 15 years, the Grammy-nominated Dutchman has been living to the rhythm of his own international success. His 5-time number one position in the critically acclaimed DJ Mag Top 100 poll has been the result of his loyalty to fans, his creativity in the studio, the perseverance with which he hosts his weekly radio show 'A State of Trance', and the energy he brings to the crowds in front of him. Despite the heavy pressure that comes along with being one of the world's most popular DJs, Armin has always kept his focus on the music. And that's exactly what keeps him going.Tweet

Cyclox: The Cycling Campaign for Oxford
Cycling in Oxford has bumbled along for decades. The city is synonymous with it and in the main, cycling here is easier and more popular than the rest of the country, bar Cambridge and (recently) central London. Just shy of 20 per cent of commuting journeys within the city are by bike, and 30 per cent of adults in Oxford cycle at least once a week, according to a 2011 survey.
>> Subscribe to Cycling Weekly this Autumn and save 35%. Enjoy the luxury of home delivery and never miss an issue <<
Oxford is a Labour/Lib Dem/Green-voting city, but its transport budget is controlled by a Conservative County Council. It'd be fair to say that most of the difficulty that cycle campaigners have with getting anything done is down to this political schism. There is no cycling officer or champion in County Hall, and until earlier this year, there was zero budget for cycling projects. Cycling was accommodated, comfortably but not into all road projects in the city, with bus and car access receiving the greatest bites of the cake.
The County Council's leadership was for years antagonistic towards cycling. A change of cabinet in spring 2013 has ushered in a much more sensible attitude to cycling, and spending on cycling. Oxford's MPs (one Labour, one Conservative) both maintain regular contact with and support Cyclox, the city's cycling campaign group.
There are continual, piecemeal improvements to the infrastructure and Cyclox's vision for a dual network is falling into place – slowly. 'Dual network' means a coherent and joined-up network for 'fast' cyclists on main roads and a quieter, back street network for less confident cyclists. Just a small amount of both networks now needs to be completed.
Two pinch-points remain massive barriers on major routes into the city: under Botley Road railway bridge and the Plain roundabout. The County has successfully bid for almost £1m to make the Plain roundabout cycle friendly. Cyclists have been relatively unanimous in asking for Dutch-style segregation, and we are waiting to see how far the County can accommodate this wish – space is at a premium in this medieval city.
Our '20's Plenty' campaign succeeded in 2011 in getting most streets made 20mph. This was more of a triumph on paper than in practice because for two years the police refused to enforce the limits, although this policy has just changed. Even slower, quieter streets will encourage many more residents to try cycling.
We are lucky to have the pro-active Broken Spoke Bike Co-op to provide all sorts of bike maintenance classes, cycle training, rides and movies. Maintaining a cycling culture requires the energy and enthusiasm that outfits like theirs can provide.

Uber Driver Tells Matt Stadlen His Family Cannot Pay Rent Without Income Generated By The App
23 September 2017, 08:19
Kofi said his wife and children are reliant on the money he makes by driving a taxi.
The Minister for London says the decision to refuse Uber a new license in the capital puts 40,000 people out of work at the flick of a pen.
Greg Hands has accused Sadiq Khan of being closed to business and innovation.
The Mayor says safety and security needs to be a priority.
Speaking to Matt Stadlen, Uber driver Kofi said he didn't know how he would cope if Uber were to lose its licence.
He said: "I have been an Uber driver for nearly three years now, my whole life and my family depends on this.
"I've got a wife who does part time work as a carer and I do this full time, I have two kids I look after.
"This works perfectly well for my wife, myself and our kids, we are both able to work hard and look after our kids.
"This decision came as a shock, I am lost for words. I will be shattered. I don't know how I will be able to pay my rent.
"What am I going to do?"

I had a lime green Steve Caballero. I skated ramps a little but was such a wuss dropping in. My ollies were terrible as well and I wasn't much of a street or freestyle skater. Mostly my skateboard was just transportation to get from A to B. It didn't matter if B was 3 miles away and I don't remember getting tired once.

Whee! This weekend is Costume College! I'm heading down Thursday afternoon and back on Sunday afternoon — no time (or money!) for a fabric district run. I've lost all of my paperwork so can't at all remember what classes I'm taking, except for the limiteds which are: Cranach dress design/construction, corset cover construction, and modifying shoes. And I'll be teaching two: an overview of bustle era hairstyles (lecture), and a hands on Victorian bodice draping class.
On Friday night for the GBACG meetup I'll be wearing my candy cane 1870s dress. Saturday night at the Gala I'll wear my courtesan gown, which will be fun to wear in an INDOOR environment! I'm trying to put together a slightly more period hairstyle to go with it, so spending lots of time in the bathroom wrestling hairpieces. It looks like I'll be so busy during the days that I'm not planning to dress up, plus that means less stuff to carry. Full report (and photos, bien sur) forthcoming next week, altho I'm moving so I may lose my web connection.

Review: Bamboo toothbrushWednesday, June 07, 2017
Bamboo toothbrushes are the ethical alternative to the many plastic ones we use. Bamboo is more compostable and we are starting to see many new brands popping up around us here in New Zealand: GoBamboo, Freshbrush, Grin.
I tried a bamboo toothbrush from GoBamboo earlier this year to give it a go.
First observation: bamboo toothbrushes are more expensive. If they were at the same price point as the plastic options more people would switch over easier. For the moment it would seem more of a conscious decision to go for the more ethical choice despite the price jump.
Second observation: I felt like the bamboo was almost composting while keeping my teeth clean! Personally it was like having an old wooden chopstick entering my mouth twice a day. Don't think a lot of people will like that feeling, it was something I needed to get used to. Will I go back to another bamboo stick toothbrush? Yea, sure, I will give it another go. I just hope the prices will come down a bit soon.

Go Here to Find the Port Canaveral Ship Finder Map. Please reposition the map with your mouse to center on Port Canaveral!. Zoom in and out as necessary.
Now that you know the ship locations in Port, decide what time of the day to see them. This is Step 3.
The most popular viewing time is in the afternoon during the Sail Away festivities! Most ships set sail between 4pm and 5pm when you will hear music playing and cruise directors urging passengers to join them on the dance floors. So be in position no later than 4pm and plan to stay for an hour or so to see all the ships sail by.
If you are an early riser you can also watch the ships sail slowly into port usually between 4am and 6am. They are surpringly quiet because passengers are still asleep!
Occasionally cruise ships visit Port Canaveral briefly as a shore stop on a longer itinerary. They can arrive at 9am, around noon or whenever! They usually depart after dark (9pm or later). You have to study the cruise ship schedule mentioned above and then position yourself somewhere to watch them sail into Port or back out.
Where to See the Ships
While you can drive around the Port area and see the cruise ships docked at the various terminals, you cannot get close and the views are mostly obstructed by the terminal buildings and parking garages. If you stop to take pictures, the Port Security may ask you to move along. No Parking signs are seemingly everywhere!
It is much better to choose a viewing spot from our list below.
The Cove Restaurants
You can hardly get any closer to the ships when watching them sail by during Happy Hour from the waterfront restaurants at the Cove at Port Canaveral. Disney, Norwegian and Carnival usually dock at the North side of the Port and they sail right by the restaurants!
Grills – practically underneath the ships when they dock at Terminal 1 – usually Royal Caribbean. Perhaps the most consistently great food at the Port. Breakfast is highly recommended.
Fishlips – the upstairs area is elevated providing the widest view of the ships. Good food and surprisingly affordable drink prices make Fishlips a great choice for ship viewing.
Rusty's – unfortunately the outside area has plastic window protection from the wind and therefor ship views are somewhat obstructed.
Junkanoo Island Kitchen – The newest restaurant edition with good food and reasonable pricing. Popular with locals and a good place if you want to avoid the busier restaurants. The tables next to the window have unobstructed views of the cruise ships.
Seafood Atlantic – Wonderful fresh seafood in an informal and intimate setting between the larger and more popular restaurants. A great choice if you want a quieter viewing experience but they only have a few tables outside.
Gator's Dockside – Near perfect to watch ships from the North side of the port including Disney and Carnival! Gator's Dockside is a Florida restaurant chain of family-friendly sportsbars.
The Freddie Patrick Boat Ramp near Jetty Park
With eight boat slips and multiple ramps this viewing area is a local favorite! Folks bring lawn chairs and umbrellas to enjoy an afternoon of watching fishing boats return and to view the cruise ships.
There is even a tackle shop/cafe at the far end of the ramp serving food and drinks! The sitting area is a great place from where to watch the action on the water.
The Boat Ramp offers a cheaper and more relaxed cruise ship viewing experience than the bustling Cove Restaurants.
Jetty Park
Located where the Port meets the ocean, Jetty Park is an obvious choice for many when viewing cruise ships. You can walk out on the 1200′ pier or watch the ships from the comfort of your car.
The famous Fishlips operates a cafe concession near the beach where you can buy food and drinks.
The problem is cost. Visitors must pay $15 per vehicle and no pets are allowed. No charges for walk-ins and cyclists.
Grassy Sitting Area Between Cove Restaurants
You can park nearby and walk to an open area next to the old Millikens Restaurant. It is a good and quiet spot to watch ships departing from the North side of the Port.
Other Areas to Consider for Ship Watching
For an elevated yet distance view of the ships with a wide field of view, consider the 6th floor observation deck of the Exploration Tower (entrance fee) !
If you are a guest of the Holiday Inn Club Vacations Resort at Cape Canaveral, you can watch the ships from any north-facing room or observation area.

Installing GraphDB (aka OWLIM) triplestore on mac os
GraphDB (formerly called OWLIM) is an RDF triplestore which is used – among others – by large organisations like the BBC or the British Museum. I've recently installed the LITE release of this graph database on my mac, so what follows is a simple write up of the steps that worked for me.
Haven't played much with the database yet, but all in all, the installation was much simpler than expected (ps: this old recipe on google code was very helpful in steering me in the right direction with the whole Tomcat/Java setup).
1. Requirements
OSX: Mavericks 10.9.5
XCode: latest version available from Apple
HOMEBREW: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
Tomcat7: brew install tomcat
JAVA: available from Apple
Finally – we obviously want to get a copy of OWLIM-Lite too: http://www.ontotext.com/owlim/downloads
2. Setting up
After you have downloaded and unpacked the archive, you must simply copy these two files:
..to the Tomcat webapps folder:
Essentially that's because OWLIM-Lite is packaged as a storage and inference layer for the Sesame RDF framework, which runs here as a component within the Tomcat server (note: there are other ways to run OWLIM, but this one seemed the quickest).
3. Starting Tomcat
First I created a symbolic link in my ~/Library folder, so to better manage new versions (as suggested here).
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.39 ~/Library/Tomcat
Then in order to start/stop Tomcat it's enough to use the catalina command:
[michele.pasin]@here:~/Library/Tomcat/bin>./catalina start Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.39/libexec Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.39/libexec Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.39/libexec/temp Using JRE_HOME: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home Using CLASSPATH: /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.39/libexec/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.39/libexec/bin/tomcat-juli.jar [michele.pasin]@here:~/Library/Tomcat/bin>./catalina stop Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.39/libexec Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.39/libexec Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.39/libexec/temp Using JRE_HOME: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home Using CLASSPATH: /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.39/libexec/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.39/libexec/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Tip: Tomcat runs by default on port 8080. That can be changed pretty easily by modifying a parameter in server.xml in {Tomcat installation folder}/libexec/conf/ more details here.
4. Testing the Graph database
Start a browser and go to the Workbench Web application using a URL of this form: http://localhost:8080/openrdf-workbench/ (substituting localhost and the 8080 port number as appropriate). You should see something like this:
After selecting a server, click 'New repository'.
Select 'OWLIM-Lite' from the drop-down and enter the repository ID and description. Then click 'next'.
Fill in the fields as required and click 'create'.
That's it! A message should be displayed that gives details of the new repository and this should also appear in the repository list (click 'repositories' to see this).
5. Loading a big dataset
I've set out to load the NPG Articles dataset available at nature.com's legacy linked data site data.nature.com.
The dataset contains around 40M triples describing (at the metadata level) all that's been published by NPG and Scientific American from 1845 till nowadays. The file size is ~6 gigs so it's not a huge dataset. Still, something big enough to pose a challenge to my macbook pro (8gigs RAM).
First, I increased the memory allocated to the Tomcat application to 5G. It was enough to create a setenv.sh file in the ${tomcat-folder}\bin\ folder. The file contains this line:
CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -server -Xms5g -Xmx5g"
More details on Tomcat's and Java memory issues are available here.
Then I used OWLIM's web interface to create a new graph repository and upload the dataset file into it (I previously downloaded a copy of the dataset to my computer so to work with local files only).
It took around 10 minutes for the application to upload the file into the triplestore, and 2-3 minutes for OWLIM to process it. Much much faster than what I expected. Only minor issue, the lack of notifications (in the UI) of what was going on. Not a big deal in my case, but with larger dataset uploads it might be a potential downer.
Note: I used the web form to upload the dataset, but there are also ways to do that from the command line (which will probably result in even faster uploads).
6. Useful information
> Sparql endpoints
All of your repositories come also with a handy SPARQL endpoint, which is available at this url: http://localhost:8080/openrdf-sesame/repositories/test1 (just change the last bit so that it matches your repository name).

This tour itinerary will present you Romania during the communism regime
No doubt, Romania was significantly marked by the period of communism. It is part of our history and cannot be forgotten so easily. This tour itinerary will present you Romania during the communism regime, and also aspects about the fall in 1989 and the beginning of the democracy.
If we speak about communism, we cannot miss an outside visit to the People's House (Parliament Palace), built by Ceausescu and his megalomania. Considered the largest administrative building in the world, this palace is…just big. Unfortunately for him, he has never lived here. By the time of his execution in 1989, the palace was almost done. therefore, he left us with a colossal building with enormous maintenance costs.
We will continue our trip visiting the private house of Ceausescu's family called Primaverii Palace. Hidden by the public eyes so far, the comfortable house was recently open for everyone. The inside tour will show the luxury lifestyle of our last communist dictator.
Later on, we get to the University Square , Revolution Square and Communist Party Headquarter, see the balcony of Ceausescu's last speech, stop in front of State Security Headquarter, the infamous offices of forced confessions, torture and execution during the communism regime. We will present you video clips/printed materials from the revolution time (21-23 December 1989). We will talk about the people's courage, terror and hope to a better future for their children…
What is included:
Personal English speaking certified guide
Transportation with air-conditioned car/minibus
Entrance fee to the Primaverii Palace – Ceausescu's house
Pick-up & drop off from your hotel in Bucharest
What is NOT included:
Souvenirs or private expenses
Photo fees
Food or drinks
Duration: 5 hours
- 1 person traveling alone: 125€/pers

- 3–7 person traveling together: 55€/pers
- 8 person traveling together: 45€/pers

China has had a phased implementation of their track and trace regulations based on therapeutic drug class, with 2013 and 2014 deadlines covering select products on their Essential Drug List. As of China's final December 31, 2015 deadline, however, all pharmaceutical products will be covered under China's unique requirements, which include serialization and government reporting.
Serialization: In China, all levels of product – unit, bundle, case, pallet – must be serialized with a government-issued number, and aggregation is a regulatory requirement. Pharmaceutical companies must run a query on a Chinese government system in order to initiate and capture the serial numbers, which are then provided to the packaging lines. After the serial numbers have been deployed, manufacturers must report back on product events.
Reporting: There are multiple complications associated with Chinese reporting requirements. First, all reports must be manually uploaded to the China FSDA system by someone in China; the upload cannot be managed remotely from another country. In addition, there is a size restriction of five megabytes for the uploaded report. If you are reporting on a large batch of data, your file size can easily exceed that, in which case you will need to follow strict guidelines on how to split up the file, what header information to assign, and the sequence in which to upload the multi-part report.
TraceLink has been supporting our customers for their China initiatives for nearly eighteen months. We have the most proven China solution in the world, and it's being utilized at high scale: to date, more than 20 million serial numbers have been commissioned and reported for China. TraceLink solutions can help manage all of China's distinctive requirements, including:
There are emerging regulations for China around animal health, which will impact any pharmaceutical company who manufactures veterinary drugs. TraceLink will monitor these and other Chinese developments and continue to lead the way in helping businesses navigate this market.

Hi everyone. I have a diecast model of an F-18E (dambusters). It gives me the option for 3 fuel tanks (2 for wings and 1 for under the belly). I've never seen a Rhino carry 3 fuel tanks- and they are known for not having long range. Question- could a carrier and or land base F-18E use 3 fuel tanks? The news keeps talking about the new fuel tanks coming but I just can't seem to find the answer to the current fuel tanks.

Expanding Young Carers' lives through shared opportunities, experiences and fun
Who are Young Carers?
Young Carers are Young People who provide practical and/or emotional support to
another person, due to ill health, mental or physical disability, long term illness or drug and/or alcohol dependency issues.
Young Carers can provide a range of support for members of their family, this may include washing, cooking, paying bills, helping to look after parents or younger brothers or sisters including providing practical and/or emotional support due to ill-health, mental or physical disability, long term physical or mental illness or where drug-alcohol dependency is a problem.
"Young carers is like a family I can talk to about anything and share how I feel and feel good about myself no matter what is going on at home."
What do we provide?
We believe Young Carers are Young People first and should be able to access the same opportunities as their peers. Broomhouse Young Carers provides information, advice and support on all issues affecting Young Carers. We do this by providing weekly activity groups and issue based sessions, annual residential breaks and bespoke one to one support from our Young Carers Development and Support Worker. We also provide awareness raising sessions in Schools for pupils and staff to raise awareness about Young Carers and the support they may need in School.
Broomhouse Young Carers meet weekly:

The Support Groups provide an activity based programme designed with ideas and suggestions from the Young Carers. Activities include swimming, ice skating, trampolining and issue based sessions where there is discussion around issues the Young Carers face in their every day lives. Issue based sessions include drug and alcohol awareness, risk taking behaviour, safety on the internet, healthy relationships /choices and First Aid training.
All groups have access to an annual residential where they participate in adventure activities, team building sessions and space to bond and build lasting friendships. Previous residentials include PGL in Dalguise, Perth, Wiston Lodge by Biggar, The Roses Project, The Outward Bound Trust and the annual event everyone eagerly anticipates: The Scottish Young Carers Festival
The group outcomes are:
Young Carers have increased confidence and self-esteem, Young Carers cope positively in their caring role, Young Carers are less isolated, Young Carers have good knowledge of issues affecting their lives, the cared for person has a better relationship with the Young Carer and access to support.
The support groups are currently funded by Shared Care Short Breaks Fund, Cash Back for Communities, BBC Children in Need and Radio Forth Cash for Kids
16 plus Young Adult Carers – Wednesdays 6-8pm
The 16 plus Young Adult Carers service works with 16-25 Young Adult Carers by providing an activity programme, in house sessions and bespoke one to one support from our Young Carers Development and Support Worker. Within these sessions, Young Adult Carers can access information and advice on issues affecting their lives and support to access Education, Training and Employment opportunities
The service outcomes are:
Young Adult Carers have increased confidence and self-esteem to access opportunities available to them, Young Adult Carers are less isolated and better supported in their caring role, Young Adult Carers have a better understanding of and progress into education, employment or further training opportunities, Young Adult Carers cope better with their caring role and Young Adult Carers have more opportunities to enjoy life outside their caring role

Join us for our Remembrance Day and Veterans Day ceremony in Calgary on Monday, November 11
Everyone is invited to attend the Company's annual Remembrance Day ceremony at the Ogden Memorial
On November 11, Canadian Pacific pays tribute to the more than 33,000 CP employees who served in the last century's two world wars, and to those who continue to serve today. This tradition continues every year, with every CP locomotive sounding its whistle at 11:01 a.m. local time, if safe to do so, to start a moment of silence.
These brave men and women will be honoured at CP's Remembrance and Veterans Day ceremony on Monday, November 11 starting at 10:40 am MT. The ceremony is open to the public and all are welcome to attend.
The location for the ceremony will be at CP's Memorial Square, which was built in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. CP Memorial Square is located adjacent to the top parking lot by the 69th Ave SE and Ogden Dale Road SE entrance.
After the ceremony, light refreshments will be served at the Royal Canadian Pacific Pavilion located at CP's Head Office Campus.
In Canada, CP moves Canadian Forces' equipment and is one of Canada's most supportive employers of primary Reserve Force personnel. In the United States, CP is a proud partner of the US Army PaYS program, which recruits soldiers interested in obtaining a quality civilian job following service to their country. Learn about our
Veteran Management Trainee program here.

STAMFORD, Conn. — Forest products company International Paper Co. on Friday said earnings rose more than 5 percent for the first quarter as the company took in higher prices for its products in North America.
Net income rose to $77 million, or 16 cents per share, from $73 million, or 15 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding charges related to estimated losses on businesses held for sale, a write-off of goodwill and debt retirement totaling 18 cents per share, International Paper earned 34 cents for the latest quarter. The year-ago net income excluding items was 12 cents per share.
The company also benefited from a lower tax rate in the latest quarter. The effective tax rate was 24 percent, compared with 33 percent in the 2004 period. The rate for the 2005 quarter reflects the favorable resolution of a tax matter that reduced the company's tax provision by $19 million, or 4 cents per share.
Sales rose to $6.6 billion from $6.1 billion, marking the highest first-quarter level in four years. The company said the increase was mostly due to better pricing across its businesses in North America.
Analysts were expecting the company to post earnings of 30 cents, excluding items, with revenue totaling $6.57 billion.
Forest products was the company's best-performing segment, posting operating profit of $207 million, up from $176 million, as a result of stronger sales volumes and improved average prices for wood products.
Higher raw materials costs dampened results at the company's printing papers divisions, while slowed production at certain mills resulted in a drop in operating income at the company's consumer packaging business.
The company said it expects the second quarter "to be somewhat seasonally stronger than the first," although raw materials costs are still seen crimping profit margins.
