Vardø is the gateway to the North-East passage and Barentshavet. Vardø muncipality has approximately 2.200 inhabitants and covers a area of 600,3 km2. Vardø town is the only town in Norway situated in arctic climate zone, this means that the average temperature per mounth exceeds 10 degrees celcius. This of course means a lot for vegetasjon and animal life. The worlds most northern fortress village. One of Norways oldest townstatus from 1789. Vardø is Norway´s north-easternmost town. Traditionally a vibrant fishing community, the town´s population halved between the 1960s and 2000s.
The summer is traditionally the big touristseason in Vardø and Finnmark County. This is not strange as the sun shines all day and night, people hav no time to sleep and nature shows itself from it`s best side. You should also consider a visit during the time of darkness. Dark period from 21. november to 21. january. Midnight sun from 18. may to 28. july. The Coastal Steamer (Hurtigruten) has daily departures.
Fishing and seafood processing remain Vardø´s major sources of income, although tourism is starting to become an important economic factor.
The mountain Domen lies on the shore of the Varanger Peninsula. South of that mountain lies the small Kibergneset peninsula where the village of Kiberg is located. The town lies on the island of Vardøya, which is surrounded by a few smaller islands. Hornøya is one of those islands. It lies to the northeast of Vardøya and it is the site of Vardø Lighthouse. The mouth of the Varangerfjorden lies along the eastern coast of the municipality. The island is connected to the mainland via the undersea Vardø Tunnel. The town's Vardø Airport and the settlement of Svartnes are located on the mainland opposite the tunnel entrance.
Vardø gets wind from all directions, waves splashing over boats and dock, snow in large amounts and in clear weather a truly fantastic nothern light. If you like skiing and ice fishing you should visit Vardø in April. The sun has began to warm the landscape and there is still a lot of snow left.17. July 1789 King Christian Vll of Denmark / Norway signed the document that gave Vardø rights. The town celebrated its 200 year jubilee in 1989. Vardø has a very good and easily availabie hiking terrain accessible directly from the freeway. Good possibilities to combine hiking and fishing in different fishing waters around the Varangerhalvøy.
In the summer of 2012, Vardø hosted the urban art event Komafest, where 12 international artists painted tens of the town's abandoned houses in a three-week period. The event was curated by noted Norwegian urban artist Pøbel. Because of the population decline, Vardø was left with many empty buildings in various stages of disrepair. Pøbel wanted to organize a larger scale continuation of the Getto spedalsk project, where he and collaborator Dolk painted abandoned buildings in at the Lofoten islands.
GLOBUS IISince 1998, the town has housed a radar installation called Globus II. Its official purpose is the tracking of space junk; however, due to the site´s proximity to Russia, and an alleged connection between the Globus II system and US anti-missile systems, the site has been the basis for heated controversy in diplomatic and intelligence circles.HORNØYANorways most eastern nature preseration area for seabirds, breeding ground.

Now it has no militairy purpose but an exiting story to tell. Vardøhus Festning is home to two rowan trees which are diligently nurtured and warmed in winter since these trees cannot normally survive in Vardø´s cold climate, north of the Arctic tree line. Originally, seven trees were planted in 1960; the one that survived managed to blossom twice, in 1974 and 1981.

See the pictures from the Coastal Steamer taken by one of our passengers.MIDNIGHT SUNWe have the Midnight Sun in our region from 20th May - 20th July. During this period, the sun stays above the horizon, and it is light 24 hours a day. The sky must be clear and there must be unobstructed visibility northwards in order to see the Midnight Sun. A summer night on the fjord or in the mountains is an experience not to be missed, you can go fishing in the fjord, which contains splendid variation of fish, or you can take a walk in the wilderness surrounding.NORTHERN LIGHTSAurora Borealis is the Latin name for the Northern Lights solar winds that meet the atmosphere in a zone around the magnetic North Pole. The Northern Lights are only visible when the sky is dark and clear, from August to April, and they are most intense from 10 pm to midnight. The region on the 700 northern latitude is a fantastic place for experiencing the beautiful and intense play of colours given off by the Northern Lights.POLAR NIGHTThe dark time, or the long, dark Polar Night, lasts from 30th November - 12th January - there is only a twilight-dusk type of light (the blue light) for a few hours during the middle of the day. This does not mean that it becomes totally dark, however. The aurora borealis trails its multicoloured banner across the sky and the moon lights the scene just like the nightlight of Our Lord. The experience of the winter with the uniqueness of the light, the northern lights and snow is fantastic. Especially beautiful is the blue light southwards, just before it becomes dark.

STATE DEPARTMENT - Recent retaliatory moves by the Palestinians and Israel have raised questions about whether progress can be made this year in the stalled U.S.-mediated peace talks. Palestinians made an unsuccessful bid for a U.N. resolution that would have set a three year deadline for establishing a Palestinian state. Then, they launched an effort to join the International Criminal Court in order to bring war crime charges against Israel. The move prompted Israel to freeze a monthly tax revenue transfer to the Palestinian Authority. Some analysts say the U.S. may need to revise its mediation strategy.
As Palestinians look to the ICC for support and Israel considers its next move, the U.S. said constructive engagement is the only way to move forward.
"Hard as it is, all sides need to find a way to work constructively and cooperatively together to lower tensions, reject violence and find a path forward," said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
She said Secretary of State John Kerry has been working hard to encourage both sides to move forward.
But U.S. diplomatic efforts may have come to a roadblock that will be difficult to move, said Middle East analyst Aaron David Miller.
"This is so hard and the breakthroughs have been so infrequent and you are talking now about the crown jewels of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - Jerusalem, refugees - in a very small, confined space," said Miller.
He added that the leadership on all sides is part of the problem.
"Neither this Israeli prime minister nor this Palestinian president nor this American president has the will, the skill or the capacity - or at least they have not demonstrated it yet - to do what is required to make the decisions necessary," said Miller.
Other challenges in the region, such as the rise of the Islamic State and the nuclear negotiations with Iran may be preoccupying the Obama administration, according to Miller.
But the United States does not need to re-think its overall strategy for dealing with Israel and the Palestinians, said analyst Michael Rubin.
"What the United States needs to do is dig in its heels and insist that the agreements to which both parties have already agreed are going to be fulfilled," said Rubin.
He said a U.S.-led effort to cut international funding could force both sides to return to the bargaining table.
"If money is endless, if there's never an impediment to providing aid to reconstruct after a decision has been made to go to war, then it's all the easier to go to war," said Rubin.
State Department officials say Israel and the Palestinians need to make choices about what steps they are going to take but the U.S. continues to believe that dialogue is the only way to address problems over the long term.

Trisha (actress)
Trisha at World Children's Day Press Meet
Trisha Krishnan
4 May 1983[1][2][3]
Madras, Tamil Nadu, India[4][5][6]
|Ethiraj College for Women
|Years active
Trisha Krishnan (born 4 May 1983),[7] known mononymously as Trisha, is an Indian actress and model, who primarily works in Tamil and Telugu language films. She was noticed after winning several beauty pageants like the Miss Madras contest (1999), which marked her entry into the film industry.
After appearing in a supporting role in the 1999 Tamil film Jodi, she had her first lead role in the 2002 film Mounam Pesiyadhe. She later rose to fame starring in the successful films, Saamy (2003), Ghilli (2004) and Aaru (2005) in Tamil cinema and Varsham (2004), Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana (2005) and Athadu (2005) in Telugu cinema.[8] she secured her first South Filmfare Best Actress Award for Varsham in 2004[9]. She went on to win the award two more times for Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana (2005) and Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule (2007). In 2010, she made her Bollywood début in Khatta Meetha.[10] She was seen in her career best performances in Abhiyum Naanum (2008), Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (2010), Kodi and '96 (2018) for which she won critical acclaim and various accloades.
Early life
Trisha was born to Krishnan and Uma[11] in Chennai (then known as Madras)[4][5][6] into a Tamil Palakkad Iyer family.[12][13][14] She completed schooling at the Sacred Heart Matriculation School in Church Park, Chennai,[7] and later pursued a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) course at the Ethiraj College for Women (Chennai). She ventured into modelling and appeared in several print and television commercials.[15][16] In 1999, she won the "Miss Salem" beauty pageant, and later the same year, the Miss Madras contest. She had also won the Miss India 2001 pageant's "Beautiful Smile" award.[15][17]
Trisha had aspired to become a criminal psychologist initially, and resisted the thought of pursuing acting, as she wanted to complete her studies first. She also appeared in Falguni Pathak's music video Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye as Ayesha Takia's friend, which was directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru. She was later approached for an acting role in Tamil movie Lesa Lesa by Indian film director Priyadarshan, which marked the beginning of her professional career as an actress.[15] During her college course, she had occupied herself with a tight shooting schedule, which made it difficult to continue with her education.[18] However, she compensated by attending summer classes.[15]
Film career
Early career 1999–2003
Soon after her pageant success, Trisha began her acting career in a supporting role as Simran's friend in Jodi.[19] The first project she accepted was the Priyadarshan-directed Lesa Lesa, with the promotional posters for the film, also creating an offer to star in the A R Rahman musical hit, Enakku 20 Unakku 18 (2003).[20] However both the projects' releases were severely delayed, and her first release was Ameer's Mounam Pesiyadhe opposite Surya Sivakumar. The film became a moderate success at the box office and managed to gain credentials for Trisha, with critics claiming that she was "undoubtedly a refreshing new find, with sparkling eyes and appealing demeanour", also going onto praise the dubbing artiste, Savitha Reddy, who has since regularly dubbed for Trisha.[21] Manasellam, her second project, saw her play a cancer patient; but the film went unnoticed despite positive reviews for the film and the actress.[22]
Her subsequent release was the Hari-directed police film, Saamy with Vikram. She played a soft-spoken college-going Brahmin girl and received positive feedbacks for her performance, with Sify's reviewer citing that she was "appealingly sensual" and looked "glamorous",[23] and another critic writing that she looked "very pretty" and suited the role.[24] The masala flick became the biggest blockbuster of the year,[25] grossing ₹ 16 crores, and landed Trisha new offers, including several high-budget productions.[26] Lesa Lesa, which was supposed to be her début, released next.[27] The romantic musical, based on the 1998 Malayalam film Summer in Bethlehem,[28] fetched generally positive reviews.[27][29] Following Lesa Lesa, she appeared in Alai which proved unsuccessful at the box office.[30] Then released her Enakku 20 Unakku 18 which was unsuccessful commercially but was a well noticed film because of its music and visuals and helped her career[31]
In 2004, she débuted in Telugu cinema with M S Raju's romance-action film Varsham, which turned her into an overnight sensation. Critics lauded her performance as Sailaja, a middle-class girl who becomes a film star on her father's insistence; Jeevi from Idlebrain claimed that she was "beautiful" and a "big plus to the film", labelling her performance as "natural",[32] while Sify noted that she had "transformed herself into a fine actress with immense screen presence".[33] A critic from fullhyderabad.com praised her, citing that she had shown why Tamil Nadu was "busy building her a temple", further adding that she looked "so fresh and fine, you feel like gifting her to the roses".[34] While the film was highly commercially successful, running for over 175 days theatres,[35] being declared a "sensational hit" and becoming one of the highest-grosser of the year,[36] Trisha was given the Telugu Filmfare,[37] as well as the Santosham Award for Best Actress.[38] She was also offered the same role in its Tamil remake Mazhai, which she however declined.[39] Later that year, she enacted the female lead opposite Vijay in the action comedy film Ghilli. She played the character of Dhanalakshmi, a helpless girl, whom a Kabaddi player tries to save from the clutches of an influential thug, who wants to marry her, with most critics agreeing that her performance was overshadowed by Vijay and Prakash Raj's in particular.[40][41][42] The film eventually emerged the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year, celebrating a 175-days-run, too,[43][44] and remains Trisha's biggest commercial success so far. She next appeared in a small role in Mani Ratnam's political drama Aayutha Ezhuthu, starring as part of an ensemble cast that included Siddharth, Madhavan and Surya. The film, despite favourable reviews, performed poorly at the box office, while she was again outshone by the three lead male actors.
In the following two years, Trisha had 12 releases overall, which all but one featured her as the female lead. She was part of two male-oriented action-masala flicks Thirupaachi and Aaru, directed by Perarasu and Hari, which both offered only limited roles for her,[45][46] with the former becoming a major commercial success.[47][48] In her second Telugu project, the sentimental drama Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, she starred alongside Siddharth. The film, being Prabhu Deva's directorial début, opened to rave reviews, with Trisha receiving unanimous praise for her portrayal as the village girl Siri, which earned her three Best Actress prizes, including her second consecutive Filmfare Award and her first Nandi Award.[49][50] Idlebrain noted that she was "just great. Her tender looks, innocent face and Telugu traditional costumes make her a treat to watch", further labelling her expressions and "naughty antics" as excellent,[51] while Sify wrote of Trisha that she was "amazing as Siri [...] It is her career best performance and she has excelled throughout."[52] The film eventually secured eight Southern Filmfare Awards, the most ever by any Telugu film,[49] while also emerging highly successful at the box office.[53][54][55] Trisha later went on to reprise the role in its Tamil remake as well. Her subsequent releases, N Lingusamy's Ji and Aathi, which saw her pairing with Ajith Kumar and Vijay, respectively, were both critical and economical failures, while Aaru was a moderate success and was received well by critics.[56] The successes of Varsham and Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana led to Trisha being cast in the third consecutive M S Raju film, with the producer stating that she was "one of the most talented and beautiful actress I have ever worked with", going on to draw comparisons to the works of Savitri, Nargis and Sophia Loren.[57] The film, Pournami, directed by Prabhu Deva again, featured her in the titular role alongside a star cast and bombed at the box office. Her sole Tamil release of 2006, Unakkum Enakkum, the remake of Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, where she acted opposite Jayam Ravi, did very well at the box office.[58] She starred in the Telugu film Stalin with Chiranjeevi, following which her Telugu film Sainikudu with Mahesh Babu was released.
Her next release was Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule where she was cast opposite Venkatesh. The film, Selvaraghavan's first Telugu venture, was a family entertainer and received good response especially from the family audience. Trisha's performance was critically acclaimed and won her accolades, eventually resulting in her third Filmfare win. In Kireedam with Ajith Kumar, Trisha tried comedy and received rave reviews. Kireedam opened with high expectations and received good reviews from media and was declared a success. Her 2008 Tamil films, Bheema and Kuruvi failed to succeed at the box-office. In Telugu Krishna with Ravi Teja, opened to rave reviews, and became a blockbuster. Her other release Bujjigadu starring Prabhas, directed by Puri Jagannadh was released during Summer and made a decent run. Trisha was praised for her performance in Radhamohan's Abhiyum Naanum. King starring Akkineni Nagarjuna directed by Sreenu Vaitla was a December release and it became a blockbuster.
Her 2009 films Sarvam with Arya and Sankham opposite Gopichand did not do well and became just average grosser. Trisha had a major role, starring as a Syrian Christian Malayali girl Jessie, in Gautham Menon's 2010 Tamil romantic drama film Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, which was a big commercial success at the box office.[59][60] The film centres around the complicated relationship between a Syrian Christian Malayali girl and a Tamil Hindu assistant director, who falls in love with her, only to be met by her indifference and reluctance as they belong to different religions and her strict conservative family will never consent to their marriage.[61] Her performance was well received by critics,[62] earning her the 2010 Vijay Award for Favourite Heroine.[63] Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff commented, "Trisha is a revelation. Shorn of her filmi make-up, she dazzles in Nalini Sriram's simple costumes."[64] Sify remarked, "Trisha looks good and delivers her career best performance in a knock-out role."[65]
Namo Venkatesa was her sole Telugu release in 2010. In the same year, she starred in Manmadhan Ambu with Kamal Haasan and R Madhavan and made her début in Bollywood with the Priyadarshan film Khatta Meetha. Upon release, the film received mixed reviews from critics and Box Office India declared it an average performer at the box office.[66] She was part of two commercially successful ventures in 2011, Theenmaar in Telugu and Venkat Prabhu's Mankatha in Tamil.[67][68][69] The latter was the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year and in Trisha's career.[70][71][72]
She had two Telugu releases in 2012-Bodyguard, a remake of the same-titled Malayalam film, which saw her being paired with Daggubati Venkatesh for the third time,[73] and Dammu opposite Jr NTR-and two Tamil releases in 2013-Samar starring Vishal,[74] and the comedy drama Endrendrum Punnagai starring Jiiva.

Her mother Uma Krishnan, had been offered various roles by several Tamil film makers and actors including Kamal Hassan, but turned them down, as she wanted to concentrate on Trisha's career. She accompanies Trisha on film shoots, events, and functions, and they have appeared together only in a commercial advertisement.[89] About her relationship with her mother, Trisha remarks, "She has been the pillar of my strength and has stood by me like a rock through thick and thin.[...] Everyone in the industry and my friends know how close I'm to my mom."[90]

Greetings, dear ones! Welcome to this week's Sunday Summary post, in which I'll be offering a brief recap of my week in blogging, sharing a few personal reflections concerning my life at this time, and asking a Question of the Week, which is my way of getting to know you a little better. Also in today's post, there will be details of my new single, which is released next week. Let's get cracking!
The Week in Review
For this week's Monday Music post I presented an orchestral piece by an American composer named Joshua Spacht. Those of you who checked out the song were impressed with its powerful and original musical interpretation of the opening of the book of John. To listen again, click here.
For my Thursday Theology post I shared a series on the Biblical view of hell, written by my friend and fellow blogger Amanda over at Kindling Truth. If you've ever been confused about Christian teaching on hell, you might find Amanda's series helpful. To read the post, click here.
I ended the week with the latest instalment in my Friday Philosophy series. This week we looked at Epicurus and his teaching on ethics, comparing his hedonistic philosophy with my own thoughts concerning how we can be happy and fulfilled. Click here to read the post.
New Song out Thursday 10th May
As you may already be aware, I'm in the midst of a ten-song experimental music project. My next release (Song 8) will be on Thursday. It's a song about God's love for the Jewish people, and the important role they have in His grand scheme.
A Few Personal Reflections
- We're experiencing some truly glorious weather in London this weekend. Temperatures are set to hit 28 degrees celsius tomorrow which will be a record high for a May Bank Holiday 😎
- Because my single is being released on Thursday, there may not a be a Thursday Theology post this coming week. I'll see how the week unfolds; I'll either publish a theology post on Wednesday, or skip my theology post for this week.
- I've booked a trip to Germany in July (around my birthday) to go and visit my sister who lives in Berlin. This will be my first time travelling to Germany, and I managed to get an amazing deal; my complete return journey for under £100. Woohoo! That gives me an idea for Question of the Week…
Question of the Week
Do you have any travel plans for 2018?
Let me know in the comment below!

Field of Dreams Movie Site Installs Video Surveillance System After Vandalism Incident
Ci3 and 3xLOGIC partner to offer equipment and installation labor to upgrade facility's asset protection and security
WESTMINSTER, CO—30 May, 2018 – 3xLOGIC, Inc., a leading provider of integrated, intelligent security solutions, and a three-time Deloitte Technology Fast 500™ winner, today announced that, in cooperation with Control Installations of Iowa (Ci3), the two companies have donated a completed video surveillance system for this iconic ball field and movie set located in Dyersville, Iowa.
"Several weeks ago there was an act of senseless vandalism that occurred on this high-profile ball field and a lot of damage was done by someone with a very poor sense of judgement," recalled Carl Bracken,Technical Security Sales for Ci3. "The president of my company shot me a text before I even knew about the vandalism, suggesting we get involved and try to help."
Field of Dreams, released in 1989, is a movie that has inspired millions and became an Academy Award nominee for Best Picture of the Year. "Nearly thirty years later, we still get more than 110,000 visitors a year," said Denise Stillman, Manager of the Field of Dreams movie site. "Most folks come to run the bases or explore the corn field. We're the only ball park open 365 days a year, and we're the world's largest pick-up baseball game."
The vandalism to the field was fairly extensive and, unfortunately, also involved destruction of expensive irrigation equipment. Bracken contacted Denise Stillman to explore installing a video surveillance system for the tourist site. After initial discussions, he visited the site on a Saturday, with demo gear in hand, to show Stillman the possibilities. She was keen on what she saw but there was nothing in the budget for such a system.
Working with his company president and reaching out to various vendors, including 3xLOGIC, Bracken came up with a plan to provide the Field of Dreams with the enhanced asset protection and increased security they needed. Recently, Bracken and his team of skilled technicians completed the installation comprised of a 3xLOGIC 8-channel V250 NVR; one 3xLOGIC thermal imager, pointed at the bridge leading to the site entrance; a 3xLOGIC 3 MP mini-dome to cover the retail sales area; and two cameras covering the field itself. The recording equipment is installed on a shelf in the retail store, which is convenient and secure.
"We hadn't really thought much about security, because for 29 years we had no incidents," said Stillman. "Now that the system is in place, it's doing a lot of things for us. The gift shop staff feels much more confident now that they have eyes and ears watching over them. For me, I have a sense of comfort that wherever I am in the world I can see what is happening at the field at all times—I can even check if the sod is greening up. I love that, and the 3xLOGIC mobile app, View Lite II, is easy to use and empowering."
"This place is important to the fabric of Iowa life and lifestyle," continued Stillman, "and Ci3 really stepped up. Carl (Bracken) was very generous with his time and he gave us a solid comfort level in understanding what we needed, what the system would look like, and how it would function. Other local vendors wanted to help, but no one took the time like Carl and Ci3."
"Along with 3xLOGIC, we were happy to make this donation. We knew Denise didn't have sufficient budget, and they still needed to find the money to pay for their expensive irrigation system repairs," said Bracken. "This really gives us piece of mind when no one is on site," said Stillman, "we now have excellent visibility to areas we must be able to see and the system provides a great deterrent effect, too."

Amongst of them, the number of bootleg mingled with methanol accounts for 50 percent. Worse, wine not only causes poison but also risk to people's health.
In the days near Tet, the Poison Control Center at Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi has admitted more emergency cases.
Medical workers receive three or four drunkards a day; many of whom had liquor mixed with industrial methanol whose concentration is hundred times higher than permitted resulting in patients losing their consciousness.
Dr. Nguyen Trung Nguyen who is responsible for poisoning center said that lately, poisoning cases due to drinking liquor mixed with methanol are on upward trend.
Most drunk patients were taken to hospitals late with serious poisoning symptoms. Through treatment procedure, medical workers said that most of patients have bootleg without clear indication of origin or liquor mingled with industrial spirit.
As per the Food Administration of Vietnam's statistic showed in five years, the country recorded 28 poisoning cases infecting 193 people and driving 179 people to hospitals.
Worse, 34 people were killed in poisoning cases. In 2017 alone, 10 poisoning cases was reported with 119 infections and 115 hospitalization cases.
Deputy head of the administration Nguyen Hung Long said that as per a study, the rising cases of hospitalizations are seen just days before and after Tet holiday. In five years, the number of poisoning cases in these days has increased by 40-50 percent compared to previous months.
Health Minister Nguyen Thi Kim Tien expressed her concern because the proportion of death due to drinking alcohol is 70 percent. The country has seen deaths because of alcohol mixed with methanol in the first days of the lunar year.
Head of the administration Nguyen Thanh Phong said that poisoning cases will rise because the market still has unsafe liquor, bootleg and unoriginal products. Additionally, to earn profit, producers are willing to violate the regulation and buyers have low aware of fake liquor and local government also neglect control.
Health Minister Tien said that the Ministry is amending the law of wine and be submitted it to the government in June.
Moreover, the Ministry will propose alcohol tax meanwhile Mr. Phong said the Ministry and relevant agencies would strengthen supervision and issue harsh punishment on violators in wine production.
At present, 328 registered big liquor manufacturers make 360 million liters of wine annually while 320 legal small manufacturers make below one million a year excluding wine made by families across the country. It is estimated by 2025, the country will have 440 million liters of wine.

As might be expected when a group of Brazilians and Italians, two countries not renowned for their wall-flower tendencies, got together to produce a car under the "Environment and Fun" banner they came up with the FIAT Bugster – an all electric off-road car designed to be charged at home.
But, for a technical first, the Bugster is not so much mid-engined, as mid-batteried. The 93 Lithium-Ion batteries, being the heaviest part of the drivetrain, have been mounted in the middle of the car to provide optimum weight distribution to achieve the best level of handling and roadholding – issues that usually don't trouble the minds of people designing hybrids and electric cars.
To make the most of its 59 kW and 220 Nm of torque, the electric engine is mated to the same Dualogic sequential manual gearbox as used in the FIAT Punto, so as to provide a sporty response and yet more fun.
Beyond the engine and the bright green paint there are many more ingenious ideas – the tools in the tool kit are made from recycled plastic reinforced with natural sisal fibres; the seats are made from foam produced with 30 per cent recycled soya bean oil and body panels use clay that had been modified by nanotechnology to make it suitable for car bodywork use.
Entirely built by FIAT's Brazilian division, the Bugster makes its world debut this week (30 October 2008) at the Sao Paulo Motor Show and is the latest in FIAT's long history of environmental advanced cars. FIAT, for example, produce for the Latin American market the first car to be able to run on four different fuels, the FIAT Siena Tetrafuel, which uses pure ethanol, a petrol/ethanol blend, pure petrol or compressed natural gas.
Not only is this unique car capable of running on each of the four fuels, it automatically switches to whichever energy source is most suitable for the driving demands being placed on it.

|On January 19, 2010, the NRC designated Mr. Darren Ash, Deputy Executive Director for Corporate Management, to be accountable for the quality and objectivity of, and internal controls over, the Federal spending information publically disseminated through such public venues as USASpending.gov or other similar Web sites. You can also see the full list of Senior Accountable Officials published by the White House.
|Open Government Web Site
|On February 4, 2010, the NRC launched a new public subsite that offers convenient access to all information related to The NRC Approach to Open Government. This subsite offers the public the following capabilities:
|Public Consultation
The NRC welcomes the public's ideas, comments, and questions about The NRC Approach to Open Government. In particular, the NRC would welcome the following types of input:
In inviting the public to Share Your Ideas, the NRC offers a variety of options, including our NRC Blog, our Online Comment Form, traditional mail, fax, and telephone communication. Hosted on the third-party WordPress site, the NRC Blog is an easy-to-use citizen-engagement tool, which enables you to share your ideas with the NRC in a moderated forum. The NRC Blog can also be accessed on mobile devices (such as smart phones) by entering the site address (http://public-blog.nrc-gateway.gov/) in the mobile device's Web browser. In addition, the NRC encourages all agency staff to participate in the dialogue and actively support public engagement. The NRC's Office of Public Affairs will also interact and work with the public and agency staff in response to feedback received through the various contact vehicles.
|Open Government Plan
On April 7, 2010, the NRC issued a news release unveiling the agency's first formal Open Government Plan, which reiterated our longstanding commitment to openness; expanded upon The NRC Approach to Open Government; and outlined plans for new transparency, participation, and collaboration initiatives. In releasing this plan, the agency also invited the public and agency staff to Share Your Ideas on the plan and provide suggestions regarding how the NRC can be more transparent, participatory, and collaborative.
Then, after incorporating feedback received from the public and other stakeholders, the agency issued Revision 1.1 of our Open Government Plan on June 7, 2010. With the issuance of this revision, the agency invited stakeholders once again to Share Your Ideas about this evolving plan, or see what others have contributed.
Each revision of the NRC's Open Government Plan is available in both PDF and XML (.docx) formats, and its official agency record is available through the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). For the current and previous revisions, see The NRC's Open Government Plan.
In addition, as requested by OMB, the NRC completed an initial Open Government Plan Self-Evaluation on April 23, 2010. That self-evaluation was based on 30 criteria drawn directly from the Open Government Directive. The NRC met all expectations (Green) for 28 of the 30 criteria, and demonstrated progress toward expectations (Yellow) for the remaining 2 criteria (Criteria 9 and 24). Since that time, the NRC has met all expectations (Green) for those 2 final criteria, as indicated in our updated Open Government Plan Self-Evaluation.

Thanks to part-owner Peter Lew for inviting me along to the launch of the new Taqueria & Tequileria, Barrio Chino. It didn't take long to realise the Mexican served here was a huge step above your average Westernised cheese and sour cream smothered renditions of the past I've had. Actually I can't even remember seeing any cheese. My first flavoursome bite of the Camarones taco ($6 each) with grilled market prawns, kiwi fruit salsa and chilli jam transcended by taste buds to a new experience — Mexican that will want me coming back for more, and more. But at $6 a pop I better watch my wallet too although I've been told they are a bit larger on the normal menu. The signature Tuna Tostada ($14 for 4 pieces) of tuna sashimi, avocado and chipotle mayo on a corn chip lived up to its hype. I could have easily finished off a whole tray although at $3.50 each it's the same price as freshly shucked oysters in a restaurant. I never would have thought raw fish on a corn chip would work but it does. It also became one of my favourites of the night. Apparently the tortilla and yellow corn chip bases are available from the Mexican products supplier Fireworks Food.
All the tostadas and tacos I tried were worth trying but some I preferred more than others including the Roast Corn Tostada ($12 for 4 pieces) of sweet corn, avocado and chipotle mayo and Chicken Borracho taco ($6 each) which had a good balance of chipotle-beer braised chicken, cream, avocado contrasted with refreshing iceberg. The Spicy Albondigas ($15 for 3 pieces) of pork and beef meatballs with roasted tomato-chipotle sauce had a nice flavoured heat to it like most of the dishes tried. Although I'm not sure if $5 a meatball will be value-for-money for many people — ouch! But again they're supposed to be larger on the normal menu than what was served as a cocktail style for the launch.
When it comes to tequila I don't seem to be a huge fan — perhaps too many awful memories in the past of bad quality tequila 1, tequila 2, tequila 3, floor. Their house margarita Tommy's Margarita ($15) is humorously described as 'No Shitty tequila. No sour mix. Just hand squeezed lime & organic agave netar. You're welcome!' It packs a punch and I'm sure lovers of the margarita will probably enjoy. The Stealth Margarita ($16) is equally lethal with the added kick of jalapeno and chilli salt — can it get any more Mexican, I think not. The food has certainly left me wanting to return to try more. I've been recommended to try the ribs and ceviche which are now on my wishlist when I get a chance. This place has certainly opened my eyes to the taste sensations of delicious Mexican cuisine I've only heard about but have never had the opportunity to try until now.
Tommy's Margarita - Our house margarita. No Shitty tequila. No sour mix. Just hand squeezed lime & organic agave netar. You're welcome! ($15)

We find ourselves drawn to Tokyo for the true yin and yang it possesses. It's a bustling metropolis; but there are pockets of solitude in temples, parks, and tea houses. It's progressive and always thinking of the future with new architecture, technology, and urban advancements; but it's still deeply rooted in culture and traditions from centuries past.
We spent some time there recently, exploring all that the grand city has to offer, including many, many tea houses. We wanted to highlight some of our favorites for you!
A tiny spot in Ginza, this tea shop is best-visited solo or with one other person. Cha Ginza is two floors: the main floor is the tea shop, where you can purchase loose leaf tea and sample a few things. But, for 700 yen, you can go upstairs for a full tasting. The menu is always changing, but it seems that typically three teas are always served. The space is quite small, there are two benches with trays in between seats, which is why we recommend coming in small groups. They also have incredible teaware to gawk over.
A tiny hidden gem in the heart of Omotesando, on the second floor of a building, this spot is a great world tea experience. They have tastings that take you on a journey through various tea producing regions of the world, not only Japan. This was the only place in Tokyo we saw tea being presented with a worldview, with our ethos at OneTea, we greatly appreciated. We did a tasting of four teas: a Japanese first flush sencha; a Taiwanese high mountain oolong; a Chinese cliff oolong; and a fresh herbal infusion of citrus and honey. All in all, due to the owner's kindness, the tranquility and relaxed nature of the spot, and the wide variety of high-quality teas, this was definitely a pleasant surprise for us and has moved its way up to a favorite spot to recommend.
This tends to always be on the top of most 'must-experience' tea spots in Tokyo, and for good reason. It reveres a level of class and precision we have yet to experience elsewhere in the world. With some of the best quality teas, presented in a super precious and luxurious way, it's definitely an 'experience'. Sakurai is by no means a locals spot, the tiny bar is filled with tea lovers and luxury seekers from around the world. But, don't be turned off by the tourism - it's tea, hospitality and presentation are worth it. Reservations are recommended, and it's better visited in small groups. We recommend the tea cocktail tasting, you won't regret it.
Located in the bougie neighborhood, Ginza, we had high expectations for class and elegance from this spot, and it did not disappoint. Designed by the agency that built Sakuari Tea Experience, much of the decor and teaware are the same. What sets HIGASHIYA apart is its focus on small bites and sweets. They excel in kashi and wagashi which are traditional Japanese treats. The tea selection has a range of rare single cultivar teas to more basic (but, still impressive) options. Make a reservation and plan to spend a decent amount of time enjoying tea, sweets, and your company.
This is the spot to go to try some special single cultivar Japanese teas. The shop itself gets quite busy, and they sometimes rush you along to seat others. So, we prefer to just pick up some leaves and give whatever we choose a try at home. It's hard to go wrong with their selection, so a little mystery bag is our preferred way to go here. If you're in the mood for some ice cream or sweets, they do serve tea as well as sundaes and ice creams in the shop.

Following Jesus in the Real World: Humility is disarming in this culture
by Dave Burchett
Posted on Monday, May 11, 2009, at 5:59 pm
Once the word gets out that I am a practicing "evangelical," I get lots of comments about the church. I hear about hypocrites in the church and about national leaders whose lives fall far short of their rhetoric. A lot of the comments are true. So how do you handle those accusations? Ideally you can reach a point where you can explain the Christian theology of original sin and that redemption is only because of Christ and not because of works. But the old bumper sticker argument that "I am not perfect . . . just forgiven" is not a compelling defense for those who don't understand the gospel and who witness the daily shortcomings of Christians.
I thought about a church in my town that decided last fall to own up to their failures. They made a bold decision to confess in humility and see what might happen.
The headline in an ad that ran in The Dallas Morning News screamed out in big, bold letters:
We Were Wrong
We followed trends when we should have followed Jesus. We told others how to live but did not listen ourselves. We live in the land of plenty, denying ourselves nothing, while ignoring our neighbors who actually have nothing. We sat on the sidelines doing nothing while AIDS ravaged Africa. We were wrong; we're sorry. Please forgive us.
That is a powerful and sobering admission. I was shocked. And I was greatly encouraged by the courage and the humility needed to admit such an embarrassing message to the public.
I opened my first book When Bad Christians Happen to Good People back in 2002 with these words:
I must begin with some words of disclosure. I am a hypocrite. I can be arrogant and selfish. I have been known to stretch, conceal, or slightly massage the truth. I am sometimes inconsiderate and insecure. I struggle with lust and impure thoughts. My ego often rages out of control, and I battle foolish pride. I can be lazy and foolhardy with my time. I get angry, petty, and ill tempered. I am sarcastic and cynical.
I am a Christian.
Does that surprise you? It shouldn't. If there is one theme about our faith that should be communicated, it is that we all fall short of the goal spelled out in Christ's teachings. Author Max Lucado has a wonderful line. He says that God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you that way. So all of us believers are somewhere on that continuum of where we started and where God wants us to be. But that realization seems to penetrate our thinking only sporadically. In fact, there are those among us who will call me a counterfeit since I admit to such unflattering traits. They will write and tell me that if I had their brand of faith I would be above any of these sins all of the time. I believe they would be wrong.
Obviously a "bad Christian" like me was intrigued to hear how Springcreek Church explained their very public confession. Senior Pastor Keith Stewart wrote this in an open letter on the church website:
No one is perfect. No one lives sin-free. You blow it. I blow it. And the church does, too. I'm sure that you (like me) have, on more than one occasion, had to make something right by apologizing. So why is it so rare to hear a church apologize? The truth is, an apology from the church should not "stand out." It should not make the community sit up and take notice. But it does, precisely because that the church rarely does what it tells others to do.
In all sincerity, we want to change that. The church in America has a serious credibility problem. Those outside the church look at us and often don't see anything that even remotely resembles Jesus. Instead they see judgment, hypocrisy, and very little compassion. They hear our words, but don't see a lifestyle that aligns with those words.
Is this very public mea culpa Godly, or is it a gimmick? Pastor Stewart began his open letter with this Scripture:
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives (1 John 1, NIV).
I would love to go to a church that can confess with humility and grace that they have erred. I trust that Pastor Stewart's heart is sincere and his congregation shares his authenticity. I rarely write in absolutes but one thing I have found is that truly Godly people always demonstrate humility. From reading the comments at the church website I am struck by the humility of Pastor Keith Stewart.
If I may gracefully add one caution to my fellow sojourners here in scenic Garland, Texas, it would be this lesson I learned the hard way. I am responding to a couple of lines that appeared in the open letter. I hasten to add that their leadership may be well ahead of your humble correspondent on this point. Here are the sentences that caused me to recall my long journey to practice grace:
The only way the community will ever believe our words is if our behavior backs it up. With the help of God, we want to become a community of believers that lives out its creed.
May I suggest with all the grace I can muster the following thoughts? The community will believe your words if you create an environment of grace and from that safety you can live out your creed. A place where you can walk in flawed and hurting and be accepted for who you are and where you are in your journey. A place where you don't have to wear a mask to be accepted. That is when, in my humble opinion, the community will believe your words. I am praying for you daredevils at Springcreek Church. I pray that many of us will follow your example both personally and corporately. I think it is a good example of humility that the rest of us can take to the workplace and into our own circle of influence. Your thoughts?

åAfter a deadlocked decision last month, the Unionville-Chadds Ford board of school directors has finally found a replacement for former member Frank Murphy's seat in Region C.
At a special July board meeting on Monday night, the board voted 3-5 to nominate Leticia Flores DeWilde as the temporary Region C board member.
Board members Jeff Hellrung, Keith Knauss and Jeff Leiser cast their votes for Dell Joshi.
Flores Dewilde, who was not present on Monday night due to a previous commitment, will serve as an appointee until the November general election.
She will be officially sworn in at the August board meeting, according to board president Eileen Bushelow.
Flores DeWilde, along with the other candidates, then have the option of submitting for a ballot in that election to serve out the remaining two years of Murphy's term.
The board selected Flores DeWilde out of a total pool of six candidates.
Of the remaining five candidates – Joshi, John Murphy, Carol Beiderman, Skip Barthold and Lorraine Ramunno – Beidrman and Barthold have withdrawn their names from the position.
All five candidates however still have the option of running for the spot in the November election.
Murphy tendered his resignation at the April board meeting, with his final meeting in June.
Board member Holly Manzone reiterated her comments from the June meeting on the difficulty in selecting the right candidate.
'All of the applicants are outstanding and I would be happy with whoever wins,' she said.
Manzone said that while Flores DeWilde's background as an attorney and her current station as a stay-at-home mom – as well as other skills – makes her an attractive candidate, she was equally satisfied with the other candidates backgrounds and qualifications as well.
Board member Jeff leiser, who was not available at the last meeting, said he was glad for the opportunity to cast his vote.
He also said he was glad not to be running against any of the candidates, as he felt they were all qualified for the position.
'They … all seem very, very capable,' he said.
'It's not an easy decision,' Bushelow said. 'We have some excellent candidates.'
Flores DeWilde, a Latina, is a resident of Pennsbury Township.
(This story will be amended on July 16, 2013, to include comments from Flores DeWilde, who was unavailable Monday night.)

UNICEF is a worldwide organization that gives Red Lion Senior High School students the opportunity to make a difference.
Senior and UNICEF club president Ellie Lyons urges the school to become more involved in the club because of its constant contributions to underprivileged children.
"The money we raise gives underprivileged children clean water, nutrition, education, life saving vaccines and so much more," Lyons said.
Senior and UNICEF club Secretary Ana Haynie views the club as an organization that contributes so much to others but is sometimes hard to see the help they are doing.
"It's different than most charity organizations because we can't directly see the change that we're making. The more people that get involved, the easier it will be to see," Haynie said about Red Lions student body and their involvement in the club.
For the last half of the year, students and faculties can look for fundraisers from the UNICEF club including a tie-dye t-shirt sale for World Water Week in the spring, and also car washes towards the end of the year.

text: Seismic azimuthal anisotropy is apparent when P-wave velocities vary with source-receiver azimuth and downward-propagating S-waves split into two quasi-S-waves, polarized in orthogonal directions. Not accounting for these effects can degrade seismic image quality and result in erroneous amplitude analysis and geologic interpretations. There are currently no physical models available to describe how azimuthal anisotropy induced by differential horizontal stress varies with sand-shale lithology and depth; we develop a model that does so, in unconsolidated sand-shale sequences offshore North West Australia. Our method naturally introduces two new concepts: "critical anisotropy" and "anisotropic depth limit." Critical anisotropy is the maximum amount of azimuthal anisotropy expected to be observed at the shallowest sediment burial depth, where the confining pressure and sediment compaction are minimal. The anisotropic depth limit is the maximum depth where the stress-induced azimuthal anisotropy is expected to be observable, where the increasing effects of confining pressure, compaction, and cementation make the sediments insensitive to differential horizontal stress. We test our model on borehole log data acquired in the Stybarrow Field, offshore North West Australia, where significant differential horizontal stress and azimuthal anisotropy are present. We determine our model parameters by performing regressions using dipole shear log velocities, gamma-ray shale volume logs, and depth trend data. We perform a blind test using the model parameters derived from one well to accurately predict the azimuthal anisotropy values at two other wells in an adjacent area. We use our anisotropy predictions to improve the well-tie match of the modeled angle-dependent reflectivity amplitudes to the 3D seismic amplitude variation with offset data observed at the well locations. Future applications of our method may allow the possibility to estimate the sand-shale content over a wide exploration area using anisotropic parameters derived from surface 3D seismic data.

UNILORIN To Admit 10,000
Out Of 104,000 Candidates In
The Vice Chancellor of university of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has
disclosed that about 104,000 candidates have applied to study
in the university for the 2017/2018 academic session through
in the ongoing 2017 JAMB UTME.
He disclosed this at the 40th anniversary of the Department of
History and International Studies of the university.
According to him, this number is outrageous as only 10,000 of
the candidates will be admitted by the university in 2017/2018
He stated that the demand for admission into the university is
due to its peaceful and stable academic calendar."

It's a mammal! It's a primate! It has a freaky little lemur furby face!
Habitat: rainforests from Bengal to Indochina, southward through the Malay Peninsula and neighboring islands. Lives in the trees, as in, all the time. And they're nocturnal, dammit.
Diet: Snails, insects, fruit, birds, clams, and small mammals.
Life Span: 12 – 14 years.
Length: 26.5-33.5 cm (10.5 to 13 in).
Weight: 1-1.6 kg (2.2 to 3.5 lbs).
They are small compact animals, with such short tails you can hardly see 'em, short rounded muzzles, round freaky little eyes directed forward, and short, dense fur. They are mainly brown, reddish-brown or gray. They have white lines between their eyes, dark markings around eyes, and a dark dorsal medial stripe in the crown. Hands are broad and feature the ever-popular opposable thumb! The boys look a lot like the girls.
To stay in trees they use their thumbs and big toes. When this animal is annoyed, it twitters like a scolding bird. Each family has one baby.
This sneaky little bastard gets its name from its slow movements, what are the odds. It can creep up on prey without being noticed, and then grab it quickly. Moving slowly also helps it to hide from predators.
When it is sleeping, the slow loris rolls up and almost forms a perfect sphere yay yay yay!
The slow loris has a much better sense of smell than humans, which is not that much of a surprise and can be said about most animals made up of more than a couple of cells.
I saw a documentary on these beasts on the learning channel
that convinced me that the slow loris is the finest animal
in nature's kingdom.
The footage in question filmed the Loris reaching for a bug
on the same branch as itself. It caught the bug after a
full three minutes of reaching. It then brought the bug
up to its face (this took about two minutes) - and studied
the bug for about a minute before popping it into its mouth. As this is happening, I am having a zen-like moment
of total understanding with regards to the sheer joy
the slow loris must feel at moments like that. The most
unlikely hunter at the climax of the hunt.
You could do worse things with your life than picking one
thing you like to do and going about it with as much
deliberation as this flavour of loris has... my $0.02
