Sun is aiming to wrest the world supercomputing crown from IBM's Blue Gene with a US$59 million (NZ$69 million) contract from the University of Texas for its Constellation design.
Constellation is a 421 teraflop design, providing 421 million floating point operations per second, potentially reaching 2 petaflops. Unfortunately IBM has dimmed Sun's system with a 3 petaflop version of its Blue Gene supercomputer. Sun could potentially hit the number two spot, however.
Constellation will be installed at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), alongside other, lesser supercomputers, and is a Linux cluster system. To be known as Ranger, it will have 3,288 nodes, starting out with 26,304 processing cores, using AMD's forthcoming Barcelona 4-core Opteron design, mounted on Sun blades. Ultimately there will be 1,302 Opterons providing 52,608 cores.
The initial memory will be 52.6TB with a final RAM capacity of 105TB. This will be backed up with 1.73PB of disk storage. The system components are connected by Infiniband with a huge, 3,456-port central switch designed by Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolstein. Its total bandwidth is 110Tb/s and it connects 1,152 cables with 12 connections per wire.
The benefit of a big switch is that inter-switch cables (needed if smaller switches were used) can be dispensed with, saving a lot of money as it's cheaper to build a big switch than link smaller switches. Six times fewer cables are needed in fact. Sun also says that the processors get a standard latency for data access this way.
It will need three megawatts of power to run, and a standard rack holds 768 cores.
Sun estimates that Constellation could scale to a 2 petaflop system with 1 exabyte of disk capacity — that's a million million million bytes. However, it isn't enough to keep IBM at bay.
IBM has announced Blue Gene/P, the second generation of the world's most powerful supercomputer. Also a Linux cluster, it nearly triples the performance of its predecessor, Blue Gene/L, while remaining, according to IBM, the most energy-efficient and space-saving computing package ever built.
It is designed to run continuously at speeds faster than a petaflop — 1 quadrillion floating point operations per second — and can be configured to reach 3 petaflops.
IBM helpfully suggests that a home user would need a 2.4km high pile of laptops to have a petaflop of computing power available.
Dave Turek, IBM's deep computing vice president, says: "We see commercial interest in Blue Gene developing now in energy and finance, for example. This is on course with an adoption cycle — from government labs to leading enterprises — that we've seen before in the high-performance computing market."
IBM says Blue Gene/P is a green supercomputer, as is at least seven times more energy efficient than any other supercomputer. Its design uses many small, low-power chips each connected through five specialised networks inside the system.
Blue Gene/L uses dual-core 700MHz chips. Blue Gene/P has four 850MHz PowerPC 450 processors integrated on a single chip. Each chip is capable of 13.6 billion operations per second. A two-foot-by-two-foot board containing 32 of these chips churns out 435 billion operations every second, making it more powerful than a typical, 40-node cluster based on two-core commodity processors. Thirty-two of the compact boards comprise the six-foot-high racks, meaning 4096 cores per rack — far more dense than Sun's core count per rack.
The one-petaflop Blue Gene/P configuration is a 294,912-processor, 72-rack system harnessed to a high-speed, optical network.
The US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois will deploy the first Blue Gene/P in the US later this year.
In New Zealand, Canterbury University is to install a Blue Gene/L this month. It will be the first Blue Gene in the southern hemisphere.

The deadline to vote on the 2018 Annie Awards was last night at midnight. And I got my votes in with 24 hours to spare!
ASIFA is the Association Internationale du Film d' Animation – or in English – The International Animated Film Association. I am fortunate to be a voting member of ASIFA Hollywood. Which means – each year around this time, I'm swamped…watching tons of animation! Definitely, nothing to complain about!
— i said that
Let me preface this with an aside.
I'm not your typical ASIFA voting member.
I don't work for Disney.
I don't work for Dreamworks Animation.
In fact, I don't work for any of the large animation studios that are known to influence award results. Do my votes even make a difference? That, I'll never know. What I do know is that the animations I vote for have talent, skill, creativity – and most of all – story.
Speaking of 'not-your-typical'…Revolting Rhymes definitely falls into this category. Maybe that's why I like it so much. This outstanding animated adaptation of Roald Dahl's twisted fairy tales was a treasure buried deep in this year's Annie Award nominations.
Animated by a Triggerfish – a relatively small South African animation studio, Revolting Rhymes was a monumental achievement.
— Peter Travers :: Rolling Stone
Ok, the votes haven't been tallied – but I would be amazed (and disappointed) if Coco didn't win the Annie for Best Animated Feature.
To be honest, Coco was leaps ahead of its competitors:
– Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie – DreamWorks Animation
– Cars 3 – Pixar Animation Studios
– Despicable Me 3 – Illumination
– The Boss Baby – DreamWorks Animation
While there are some good things to be said about each of these features – except Despicable Me 3 – Coco was in a category of its own.
What made it stand out? Story. The key to any successful feature animation.
— Sheri Linden :: Hollywood Reporter
More often than not, I tend to enjoy many of the nominees for Best Animated Feature-Independent more than the mainstream features.
This year, two independents stood out:
– Loving Vincent – BreakThru Films
– The Breadwinner – Cartoon Saloon
Both were excellent – and I would recommend seeing them. But if you had to pick one, don't miss The Breadwinner. It is extraordinary.
It hit all cylinders: story, animation, design, education, impact, and humanitarian purpose.
Bruce Demara from the Toronto Star summed it up beautifully:
The Breadwinner is a well-crafted and inspiring story with an important message about female empowerment, embodied in heroic Parvana, something people of all ages should embrace.
The Breadwinner is a well-crafted and inspiring story with an important message about female empowerment, embodied in heroic Parvana, something people of all ages should embrace.
In keeping with my goal for this blog, each post to be short and sweet. Easily digestible. Morsel size nuggets With that in mind – it's a wrap!

New Year's Day is like a video game. On the first day of the year, you're granted a new life.
— Cyril Cusack
We make resolutions. We envision a new life – one that is better than that of the previous year. But the reality is, New Year's Day is just another day.
Don't get me wrong – having the ability to draw an arbitrary line in the sand and use it as a guidepost for making change isn't a bad thing. In fact, it can be very beneficial. It's only when we think that the day itself has some magical characteristic to evoke change.
— Intention
Yesterday, I took some time to reflect on things I want to change in my life. From learning new skills and managing stress – to being in the moment and maintaining a high fitness level as I age. There was plenty to reflect on.
New Year's Day is a good day to create awareness, as a means to evoke change.
And now…the ball's in my court.
I'm a huge fan of animation. One of my favorite animated children's series is Dreamworks Animation's Trollhunters. Not to give away any of the storylines, but one of the characters ends up with the name NotEnrique.
— NotEnrique
Last year about this time I was fretting. I was fretting about the impending inauguration of
I dreaded it. I fretted. I took part in the Women's March. And a year later, he is still…NotPresident.
From November 1st through January 15th, the world's major religions observe 29 different holidays.
Yours isn't the only one that counts.
As much as I would love the new year to begin with a new inauguration…the reality is, that's a ways off.
So I ask myself:
What will make this year better than 2017?
What will make this year better than 2017?
Well, I guess that's up to each one of us.
The holidays are a special time of the year. It's a time of giving. It's a time of receiving. And – for many of us it's a time of expectation.
What did Santa bring you?
What did Santa bring you?
We're indoctrinated from a young age. We're given the 'gift' of expectation. The expectation that if we are good – Santa will bring us something special.
For most of us, expectations extend well into adulthood. We live with the expectation that we will receive something special from our spouse or significant other. The stress about the expectations placed on us to give the perfect gift. And how about the expectation of family coming together, and for this one special day – experiencing a Norman Rockwell Christmas.
— Sri Chinmoy
But sometimes, the most meaningful gifts are those that are completely unexpected.
This street musician was tipped by a young girl. What happened next…was magical.

— Heraclitus
So this Holiday season, change it up.
Instead of it being a time of giving…make it a time of forgiving.
Make it a season of receiving the everyday gifts that life has to offer.
Then, make it magical by expecting the unexpected.

How Install Thedao Linux – The Affluence Network: Safe. Secure. Sustainable.
Thank you so much for coming to The Affluence Network in looking for "How Install Thedao Linux" online. It's definitely possible, but it must be able to comprehend opportunities irrespective of market conduct. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be ok. It should be difficult to get more modest increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having small increases is more profitable than trying to fight up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to have a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and reward in currencies that have not made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz. as Ethereum. The platform allows creation of a contract without having to go through a third party. The third parties involved can include bank, credit card Firm, Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making enormous ammonts of cash with various kinds of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin structure provides an informative example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an amazing intellectual and technical achievement, and it's created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and pass up on very successful business models made available because of the growing use of blockchain technology.
How Install Thedao Linux: The Affluence Network – Your Wealth Robot
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a unique address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the same way that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is simply a representation of value, but there is absolutely no genuine palpable type of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal constraints imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their wealth will be managed. The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the dynamics of the method where it is transacted. All purchases over a crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. When you're paid, you get paid. This is not anything shortterm where your visitors could dispute or need a refunds, or employ unethical sleight of palm. Used, most traders would be wise to use a payment processor, because of the permanent dynamics of crypto-currency orders, you have to make sure that security is hard. With any kind of crypto-currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially gain access to your personal tips and so steal your cash. Sadly, you probably will never get it back. It is very important for you yourself to undertake some excellent safe and sound routines when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing so may protect you from all of these adverse events. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, based on the number of "shares" won.
If you are considering going it alone, it really is worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This option also creates a secure flow of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the wages. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers assert that there's "real" value, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that's worth an ever declining amount of money or some type of benefit to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which can be among the appealing aspects of the coin. The one who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it into a value is supplied by another address, which is a "wallet" file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades dwells.
The fact that there's little evidence of any growth in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason for this could be merely that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory attempt. It's also possible the regulators just do not comprehend the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act. When searching on the internet forHow Install Thedao Linux, there are many things to think about.
How Install Thedao Linux: Your Obtainable Choice: The Affluence Network
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about How Install Thedao Linux. You've probably seen this often where you generally spread the good word about crypto. "It's not erratic? What goes on when the price failures? " So far, several POS programs gives free transformation of fiat, relieving some concern, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people will soon be resistant to keep any. We must find a way to fight the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network has become the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms offering long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally joins in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the appropriate area at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these firms decide how it operates, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is taking place to discover how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it fixed. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these issues are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any focused business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present built-in problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could rise drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that may result in company being unable to continue to manage or to cease operation. For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not necessary to comprehend how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it's basically vital that you comprehend that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them now where Governments and banks can simply choose to print endless amounts (I 'm not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. Lots of people prefer to use a currency deflation, notably individuals who need to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial privacy, for instance, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in trade; in case you are living paycheck to paycheck, it would happen within your riches, with the rest allowed for other currencies.

How Install Thedao Linux – TAN – Where Your Minds Dreams Are Achieved
This mining activity validates and records the trades across the whole network. So if you're trying to do something prohibited, it's not wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see forever. Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or another regulatory agencies. As such, it really is more resistant to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy threats. Security and privacy can readily be achieved by just being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership from the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. Since one of the oldest forms of earning money is in money financing, it is a fact that you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, many of these websites you're required fill in a captcha after a certain time period and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to produce a reasonable investment strategy. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also be a part of more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows advanced dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain always leaves public evidence that the transaction occurred. This can be potentially used within an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.

Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk regaled Twitter users Friday with updates on the Model 3, the all-electric sedan that the Silicon Valley car maker hopes to sell to the masses by the end of the year, as well as plans for more new Tesla cars.
Over several tweets Friday, Musk disclosed plans to create versions of the Tesla TSLA, +2.78% Model 3, which is expected to cost $35,000, and cautioned people not to think of a Model 3 like the next model of a smartphone.
Am noticing that many people think Model 3 is the "next version" of a Tesla, like iPhone 2 vs 3. This is not true.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 24, 2017
Model 3 is just a smaller, more affordable version of Model S w less range & power & fewer features. Model S has more advanced technology.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 24, 2017
Musk also tweeted a video showing the first drive for a Model 3 test car:
First drive of a release candidate version of Model 3 pic.twitter.com/zcs6j1YRa4— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 24, 2017
The Model 3 is the linchpin of Tesla's expansion plans, which include ramping up production to a rate of half a million cars by the end of 2018. The company has said it is on track to start making the first few Model 3 vehicles in July and deliver the first cars at the end of the year.
Read more: Tesla is getting rid of its cheapest Model S
There is going to be a "performance" version of the Model 3 likely a year from now, he said on Twitter.
The Model S, the first car Tesla built entirely in-house, would "still win" on acceleration, though, as it has more space for a larger battery, Musk said. A shorter wheelbase in the Model 3 would only allow for a 75 kwh at the current capabilities, he said.
The CEO also professed himself "first in line" for a dual motor car "as soon as we can make it, which is probably in 6 to 9 months," he said on Twitter.

In addition, only the Model S luxury sedan will have the seven-seater option, more cargo space, two dashboard screens, auto extend door handles and other features, Musk said.
Tesla last week announced it will be discontinuing the cheapest version of its Model S after April 16. Most customers ended up ordering the pricier versions and Tesla wanted to streamline its ordering process.
Musk also pointed to future Tesla offerings, including the Model Y small SUV and a new Roadster, the sports car that was the first Tesla automobile sold to the public. Both cars are much farther down the line, however.
Oh Model Y is coming too in a few years. Kinda have to.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 24, 2017
Yes. Model S will always be the fastest Tesla until next gen Roadster, which is a few years away.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 24, 2017
Musk also shed some light on the Tesla solar roof, saying that the company will start taking orders on the product in April.

Tesla shares have gained 14% in the past 12 months, slightly underperforming the S&P 500 SPX, -0.02% which gained 15% in the same period. In recent months, however, the stock has outpaced the benchmark, up 22% in the past three months to the S&P's 4% gain.

Monthly magazine first Swedish news outlet to produce daily Snapchat TV show
Monthly magazine Veckorevyn becomes the first Swedish news outlet to produce a daily television show on Snapchat.
Irena Pozar will host Beautytude, which is described as a beauty show with attitude.
''Veckorevyn's target audience loves Snapchat. Three out of four girls are using Snapchat today – so it was obvious to us to be the first media house in Sweden to launch a social TV concept for this particular channel,'' says Frida Boisen, head of digital at Bonnier Tidskrifter, which publishes the magazine.
The show will run two minutes in length and feature a new beauty story every day. Beatuytude will go live at 4 p.m. (GMT+1) and be available for 24 hours following the broadcast.
''When I was younger I was often told that beauty doesn't match with feminism and girl power. But it does,'' Pozar says. ''It's a way for girls to express themselves in different ways and if you do it zestfully, beauty is truly the best hoppy in the world. I want to show that and to do it on Snapchat is bang on – this is where young girls are.''
Snapchat has become an important social media channel in Sweden. Sixty-two per cent of Swedes in the 12-25 demographic use the app daily, according to the report Svenskarna och internet 2015. Eighty-two per cent have used it at least once.
Bonnier Tidskrifter's television department WoWat is producing Beautytude. Swedish makeup brand IDUN Minerals is joining as sponsor.
''We have some of the best social TV creators in Sweden. We are an amazing team of creative brains that is always thinking about how something can be funnier and better, we want to create content that our users love to experience,'' says Josefin Lind Andersson, TV producer at Bonnier Tidskrifter.

Sam Annable Hopes to Turn His Blue Dice into Super Bowl Tickets
Can a person turn two blue dice into Super Bowl tickets? Peoria Chiefs sales account executive Sam Annable thinks so.
Well, scratch that – he hopes so.
In an effort to replicate the success that Kyle MacDonald -- the author of One Red Paperclip -- had, Annable will attempt to turn two little blue dice into tickets to the hottest sports show in America. MacDonald, you'll recall, was the guy who took a big red paperclip and then made 14 trades up until he ended up with a home in Canada. He ultimately gave that home away – a gesture that Annable also plans to copy if he manages to succeed in his mission.
How did Annable decide on dice as his starting item? It seems like it was more fate than anything else.
"I got to thinking about how dice represent chance, risk," Annable said to the Journal Star. "And I thought about how these really sick children deal with odds, face risk every time they go through surgeries or treatments.
"I decided I wanted to dedicate a project to send one of them to the Super Bowl."
One month in, he was able to peddle his dice to a man in Oregon who sent him an Alex Rodriguez rookie card. While that alone obviously wouldn't have gotten him the Super Bowl tickets, there's no denying that the card was worth more than the dice. (It's reportedly worth $100ish.) Which meant he had traded up.
Which meant he was heading in the right direction.
After that first trade, he then swapped the card for a baseball glove made for Ike Davis of the New York Mets
"It has Ike Davis' name stitched in the glove, it's brand new," Annable said. "The company only made three or four of them, and this is one they didn't ship to him, so it's not game-used. But it's worth at least $300-$400."
Another trade up.
"I'm waiting to see who wants it. Patience is the key thing, I've already discovered that much. But I believe in digital media as an approach to this project, and I think the message will get out there. It's going to work."
And what's Annable going to do if/when he gets his tickets?
"I'd like to get together with Children's Hospital or Make A Wish Foundation, identify who that kid is going to be," Annable said. "I don't have a recipient picked out yet.
"I feel fortunate to be in pro sports, be where I am at my age. Now I want to see what I can get done for someone else."
According to ProFootballTalk, the average ticket price to the 2012 Super Bowl was something in the $2700 range. Presuming he wants at least two tickets, Annable is going to need to continue trading up until his items are valued at around $5400.
Can he do it? Absolutely.
Will he? We'll found out in due time.
Annable's blog can be found at twobluedice.blogspot.com and his twitter account is @twobluedice.

We'll be watching with the rest of the state, and likely the country, to see what happens with the Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership.
Reporters this week toured the site of the pilot project on Sparr Road about 10 miles east of Gaylord. It seems impressive.
Literally tons — 400 tons — of carbon dioxide is being pumped into rock formations more than 3,000 feet beneath the surface of Charlton Township. The site is loaded with monitoring equipment and mechanisms.
By injecting the carbon dioxide into the ground, MRCSP researchers are hoping to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere, thereby impacting global warming.

Kathleen Edwards is one of my favorite singer-songwriters. Though sometimes dismissively lumped in with Tift Merritt, Allison Moorer, and other female alt. country singers, she has released 3 overwhelmingly consistent and great albums. With a penchant for writing songs that seems to write themselves and a sound that makes the alternative country genre sound like it never died, she is one of the hidden gems of Americana music today. While each of her first two records had their highlights, 2008's Asking for Flowers is probably her best record. Produced by the well pedigreed Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Whiskeytown), the album featured Edwards on piano for the first time and ran the gamut from slow burners to full bodied rockers.
Two years removed from Asking for Flowers, Edwards has toured sporadically in 2010 , but her only U.S. dates have been a short NE run that included a co-headlining bill with the legendary Alejandro Escovedo in Northampton, MA at the Calvin Theatre. The two songwriters also did acoustic sets at a local farmer's market that afternoon, but I was ignorant of such plans at the time. However, I did make it to the Calvin.
Edwards played first with a four piece backing band that included guitarists Jim Bryson and Gord Tough (the latter of whom reminded me of Wilco's Nels Cline in both appearance and sound). The two traded licks and displayed a wide versatility. Bryson also contributed keyboards to a couple songs, as the rhythm section of John Dinsmore (bass), and Lyle Molzan (drums) kept it in the pocket all night. The set list included several new songs including the rollicking "Going to Hell", which sounded like it was musically inspired by early Billy Bragg records. Edwards introduced the song by saying it was about both 'Canadian geography and lust.' This sort of innuendo was also featured on my favorite Edwards tune and another highlight of the evening, the clever "Back to Me". Though seemingly non-plussed by the audience, which only managed to fill half of the orchestra seats at the large theatre (Edwards asked whether they had handed out valium at the door), she remained cheery throughout. She gave the whole audience a thrill when she invited Bon Iver's Justin Vernon to come on stage to harmonize with her on the gorgeous "Mercury" from her debut album.
She was called back for an encore, and returned to the stage solo with an acoustic guitar. A woman up front called out for "Buffalo", the piano based opening track from Asking for Flowers. Edwards chuckled and said she'd try, but hadn't played the song in awhile. She did more than try and quieted the whole theatre with her performance. The band then returned for "Asking for Flowers" and a fun cover of Loudon Wainwright's "Swimming Song".
She then turned the rest of the evening over to Alejandro, whose set you can read about here.

Throwback Thursday, a delightful trip down memory lane. I remember going to the local store for a Pepsi and a pack of Nerds (probably the only candy I remember enjoying as a child). So my interest was piqued when DRC came out with a little something called "Chongo". The name is unfamiliar to me, but the flavor is far from it…
The website simply describes this as a "Grape Nerds Candy".
Packaging: The bottle has a vibrant orange and purple dance to put together what appears to be a city silhouette. Detroit Rock Candy logo is followed up by "Throwback" in a big orange bar. The left side of the bottle contains all the relevant warnings about nicotine, Prop 65, etc.
Flavor: The tartness of the Nerds was a bit lacking, but the overall grape experience tended to take on a life of it's own. Instead, this had hints of grape soda mixed in. Overall, the mix of grape nerds and grape soda just added to the overall vape experience, and threw my Thursday back even further….
Cloud Production: This has all indication of a 80VG/20PG. Thick and goopy liquid consistency with the insane cloud production to boot. Unfortunately this does gunk up the cotton pretty well but it's to be expected with most candy flavors. Regardless, this gave my RDA a definite run for my money!
Bottle Size: 60ml
Nicotine Strength: 0mg, 3mg, 6mg
Check out the Detroit Rock Candy Facebook group for more regular deals and giveaways. With an insane collection of juice to pick from, you can't go wrong with DRC!

Hello all!
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post asking for your questions about hoarding. One brave soul added a question in the comments, and I've collected a few other questions that I've been asked on Facebook. Here are the answers:
Question: How do I let go of display/ornamental items? The rule that says "if you haven't used it in ____ months get rid of it" doesn't really apply to these.
Answer: You're right. We all keep things just because they look nice, not because they serve any other function. And that's OK. It's nice to have some beautiful things to look at in our homes. But there are some ways to pare them down so you can see, enjoy, and manage the items you truly love.
The first thing is to take a first pass through these items and remove everything you don't truly love. You can ask yourself what the first emotion you feel is when you look at it. If it's guilt, or even sadness, then it's not giving you joy. Choosing to let these things go means choosing to feel better. Many clutterers feel compelled to keep things they were given as gifts for a variety of reasons. This is a rule you give yourself. It's also a rule you can change. You are NOT obligated to fill your house with the things other people have gathered.
Another strategy comes from über organizer Peter Walsh. In his book Let It Go he gives strategies for those who are downsizing. With collectibles, he says to use the dining room table that fits in your home as a guide. Keep whatever fits on the table. Anything more will be too much to enjoy and manage. You could even have one full table for everyday collectibles, and one for all the seasonal decorations that you store for most of the year. Ideas like this are great because they give a physical boundary that's clear.
Question: Is there a medication for hoarding?
Answer: No… and sort of. While there are currently no medications for those diagnosed with hoarding disorder, there are medicines that help treat some of the conditions that are often diagnosed alongside hoarding disorder. Things like OCD, anxiety, and depression are frequently seen with hoarders, and medication that treats these conditions can have a beneficial result when it comes to decluttering.
If you feel like this may apply to you, start with a visit to your general physician/gp/doctor. Tell them honestly what you are struggling with and ask for help. Some doctors really understand hoarding disorder and will partner with you in your journey. Others won't. If this is the case, get a second opinion, or a third, or a fourth. Your challenges are legitimate and serious. You deserve to have the best help. Note: for a hoarding diagnosis you need to see a mental health professional. If a general physician, counsellor, or therapist diagnoses you (and they may be right in the actual diagnosis) it can be a sign that they don't accurately understand hoarding disorder. Check with a psychologist/psychiatrist.
Question: Where can I go to learn NOT to hoard?
Answer: The good news is that there are a variety of programs and groups you can connect with. And there will continue to be more as awareness of hoarding disorder continues. The estimates suggest that 2-5% of the population exhibit serious hoarding behaviors. That means there are a lot more people than most would think! The following may be options for you, but I am not endorsing them. Check them out, and feel free to try a few before you find the right fit for your needs.
Clutterer's Anonymous or Clutterer's Anonymous UK – 12 Step program. They even have phone meetings for those who don't live close to a group
The Clutter Movement – offers coaching and weekly live support meetings for individuals and their families
Buried in Treasures workshops – this is an intense, 16 week course written by some really great professionals who work with hoarding behaviors. If you see one in your area, and you really want to learn why you hoard and be kept accountable in a group setting, this may be a good fit.
Feel free to ask more questions – from me, from your doctor, from your therapist, or your professional organizer. Be open to gaining information and strategies that will help you make a safe, peaceful home that you love to live in. You CAN do it!

Isolation And Characterization Of Lignocellulose Biodegrading Enzymes From Marine Woodborers: Potential In Bioethanol Production
Moraa, Bosire Carren
MetadataShow full item record
Marine woodborers are members of phylum Mollusca, class bivalvia, families Teredinidae and Pholadidae; and phylum Arthropoda, class crustacea, family Sphaeromatidae. They have a close association with tropical mangrove habitats where they consume lignocellulose and play a role in nutrient cycling. They represent a rich source of lignocellulolytic enzymes that can be harnessed for conversion of biomass into simple sugars and other monomers for a variety of uses including bioethanol production. Enzymatic degradation of lignocellulose has emerged as the most prominent technology for conversion of biomass into monomer sugars for subsequent fermentation into bioethanol. This is an ideal approach for degrading cellulose because of its mild reaction conditions (pH between 4.8–5.0 and temperature between 45–50 °C), it does not present corrosion problems in the reactors and results in high sugar yields. This study isolated lignocellulolytic enzymes from marine woodborers in the Kenyan coast, investigated their potential in bioethanol production and characterized the enzyme with highest activity. Three species of woodborers from marine mangrove plants were identified and relations between them and the host mangrove plants (Avicennia, Sonneratia, Rhizophora) described. Marine woodborers Dicyathifer mannii (Wright, 1866), Sphaeroma terebrans (Bate, 1866) and Cirolana sp. occur on submerged parts of roots (proproots, pneumatophores), stems and branches. D. mannii was found mostly on Rhizophora but also on Sonneratia, whereas S. terebrans and Cirolana sp. were found exclusively on Avicennia. Crude gut extracts were obtained from D. mannii and S. terebrans (Cirolana sp. were not obtained in enough numbers for crude gut extraction). These were tested for lignocellulolytic activity. D. mannii crude extracts showed an appreciable endoglucanase (CMCase) activity of up to 50.7 ± 1.51 U/ml , xylanase activity of 35.52 ± 1.54 U/ml and Lip activity of up to 34.65 ± 0.12 U/L (1 U represents 1 micromol of glucose released min-1). D. mannii is implicated as a source of these enzymes for industrial use. To determine the bacterial and fungal diversity within the woodborers' digestive tracts, bacteria and fungi from the digestive tracts of D. mannii, S. terebrans and a Cirolana sp. were cultured and investigated. The bacteria and fungi were identified by sequencing the fragments of 16S rRNA and ITS gene respectively, with subsequent phylogenetic analysis. Four strains, Lysinibacillus boronitolerans (from D. mannii and S. terebrans), L. fusiformis (from S. terebrans and Cirolana sp.), L. sphaericus and L. xylanilyticus (both from Cirolana sp.) had similarity to known 16S rRNA sequences of 98–99 %. Various strains of Ascomycetes fungi were identified from the digestive tracts of the woodborers. Aspergillus niger was isolated from the digestive tracts of both D.mannii and S. terebrans. In addition, Neosartorya fischeri and A. fumigatus were present in D. mannii whereas Botryotinia fuckeliana was found in S. terebrans digestive tract. A. costaricaensis and A. fumigatus were present in Cirolana sp. while Penicillium sp. was isolated from D.manni and Cirolana sp. digestive tract. The fungi had similarity to known ITS sequences of 95–100 %. Existence of bacterial and fungal groupings symbiotically associated with woodborers gut is proposed. Pure bacterial and fungal isolates from each of the woodborers as well as mixed cultures for each woodborer were induced to produce lignocellulolytic enzymes. Substrates used for induction were carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt (CMC), Whatson No. 1 filter paper (FP), beechwood xylan, Rhizophora wood dust, D (+)- cellobiose and avicel cellulose. While there was generally low ligninolytic activity in both bacterial and fungal isolates, cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic activity was significantly high in both pure bacterial and fungal isolates as well as in mixed cultures. The highest bacterial enzyme activity was β-glucosidase (94.55 U/ml) shown by L. boronitolerans from S. terebrans cultured in a medium containing avicel cellulose as a carbon source. In contrast, xylanase activity was highly exhibited (up to 91.7 U/ml) by L. xylanilyticus from Cirolana sp. in medium containing cellobiose. The highest fungal activity was β-glucosidase (54.77 U/ml) shown by A. niger from D. mannii gut in a medium with mixed sudstrates. Wood, FP and CMC did not sufficiently induce production of β-glucosidase by the fungal isolates. CMCase production was significantly induced by xylan beechwood substrate. Since D. mannii had shown to have the most lignocellulolytic efficacious extracts, the ability of the culture filtrate of its gut microbial community to biodegrade wheat straw into fermentable sugars for ethanol production was investigated. 24 hours fermentations by 0.3 % Saccharomyces cerevisiae of 3 % wheat straw degradation reaction mixture with D. mannii gut microbial filtrate (previously incubated for 1 hour at 50 0C in 0.1M sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.0) yielded 0.98 mg/100ml supernatant. The highest D. mannii microbial community lignocellulolytic activity was xylanase. Consequently, xylanase from the culture filtrate of D.mannii gut microbial community was isolated and purified. The purified enzyme showed a single band on SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with an apparent molecular weight of ≈ 20 kDa. The enzyme was moderately thermostable with optimum activity at 50 °C and pH 5.0. It had a high affinity for xylan beechwood with Km and Vmax values of 0.4 % (w/v) and 128.2 µm ml-1 min-1, respectively. This is the first report on production, purification and characterization of xylanase from D.mannii gut microbial community.

"You Are Exactly Where You Are Meant to Be" by Lord Maitreya through Deonna Phillips
My dear ones,
I come forth at this time to reassure all of you on the ascension journey that you are all exactly where you are meant to be. Please do not compare yourselves to others. Each journey is unique and special to who you are. The recent earth changes have once again accelerated the energies. This can affect you each in different ways. None is wrong. The love of the Divine is equal and overflowing for every part of creation.
We ask that you open your heart to the love that is flowing more and more into your dimension. It is a soft and gentle energy that will not intrude. You must be still and invite it in. The more you do this, the more you will feel the exquisite touch of the Divine filling your heart to overflowing. As you bask in this love each day, listen to the whispering of your spirit. Go where it leads with baby steps into the unknown and you will find that you are supported with each step.
You have all my love,
Lord Maitreya

In light of Women's History month, L., an organic period product company is donating 60 million menstruation products to people who need them.
Period products are a costly necessity that many can't afford. Often, young people have to stay home from work or school while they're menstruating, due to their lack of access to these products. To combat this problem, L. is donating over 60 million organic cotton tampons and pads to those who need them most.
The move aims to provide safe access to these necessary hygiene products, while eliminating the stigma surrounding menstruation. According to the brand, "Menstrual equity is about access. Access to a safe, affordable necessity that the average woman will use more than 10,000 times in her life. It's really that simple."

Dramatic changes have occurred in the real estate technology sector. Numerous telecom companies focusing on the real estate industry have failed. Other providers, taking advantage of existing market conditions, have gone on a buying spree. Fewer reliable communications providers exist to service real estate owners and their constituent tenants. As a result, opportunities for owners to generate ancillary revenue from telecom contracts are becoming increasingly limited. In this dynamic and changing market, building owners must concentrate on ways to ensure that their assets remain competitive and marketable.

What Is BPAP And Why Is Different From CPAP
If you have been diagnosed with OSA (obstructive sleep apnea), your sleep physician has already prescribed you with one of the several types of PAP machines for your sleeping disorder, a CPAP, a BPAP machine, or even an APA machine. BPAP is the acronym for bilevel positive airway pressure, and it has a similar function to a CPAP treatment. CPAP and BPAP machines are very similar in function that they are a non-invasive form of therapy for those suffering from sleep apnea. If you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, read more here to look for possible solutions to your condition.
These are the differences between a BPAP and a CPAP machine
- BPAP mitigates one of the most common complaints of using a CPAP machine: One of the most common complaints when using a CPAP machine, is that patients find the constant singular pressure uncomfortable to breathe against. Exhaling might be challenging for some patients that are using CPAP devices at higher pressures. But when using a BPAP device, patients can breathe easier as the machine reduces the pressure level during exhalation, and this allows the patient to exhale more easily and breathe more comfortably.
- BPAP devices have two pressure settings: The main difference between BPAP and CPAP devices is that BPAP machines have two pressure setting: One pressure for inhalation, and a lower pressure for exhalation. The BPAP device is created to increase the pressure when you inhale, keeping the airways in your nose and throat from closing while you are sleeping, and provides a lower pressure during exhalation that maintains an open airway. Several patients find BPAP more comfortable that the single pressure delivered by CPAP devices.
- BPAP and CPAP devices often cater to different needs: People with muscle and nerve problems might take advantage from the BPAP machine rather than the CPAP one. BPAP devices can be set to make sure that users breathe a certain number of times per minute. The difference in inhalation and exhalation pressures reduces the work of breathing and permits the person to have a more restful sleep. The CPAP machine is usually used to treat mild to moderate sleep apnea. Depending on the severity of sleep apnea, your doctor might recommend you a BPAP machine instead. Patients that require high levels of CPAP pressure are often more comfortable using a BPAP device.
Keep in consideration that the main differences between these two devices depend on your needs. Each person responds differently to each treatment method, so it is recommended that you follow your sleep physician advice based on your tests and treatment results of course. An appropriate testing is essential to determine what treatment would suit your needs better and what settings are appropriate for you. Keep in mind that both devices are beneficial for patients with sleep disordered breathing, and using the appropriate therapy is crucial to keep sleepers breathing. This video will help you understand better the use of a BPAP machine because it provides the whole process of a BPAP respiratory therapy and all the things that imply.

What is medical identity theft
What Is Medical Identity Theft
Many people are aware of thieves who obtain their information and steal their identity, credit card numbers, and even hack into their bank accounts. However, many people are unaware of the ever rising medical identity theft that has been plaguing honesty hard working families all across the world. In the year 2013 alone, millions of people fell victim to medical identity theft, unable to do anything about it until it was too late. However, keeping yourself informed is the best way to stop, spot, and prevent medical Identity theft from happening to you.

2-Still same thickness of previous iPhone 6s,6s Plus and heavier in weight than the iPhone 6 & 6 Plus.
3-Still the same Megapixels as previous iPhone 6s,6s plus and SE.
4-In terms of video quality,still same as previous iPhone se,6s and 6s plus ( 2160@30fps ).Also secondary camera still as previous ones,1080p@30fps HD Recording.
Briefly: No strong specifications that pushes me to purchase it without hesitation.
I will keep using my lovely iPhone SE,Compact design.I wait for the iPhone team to make in coming March,4 inch with better features,Hopefully. Thanks.

iPhone 7 dual camera will be the best and gsmarena will admit it in the review
I hate to break it to you but Apple does note have the most expensive smartphones on the market since 3 years ago. I belive everybody hates the old iPhone users bcs they used to think of themselves as better than the others from just having an expensive phone.
android users..don't be too hard on poor apple..
you have to see that current iphone users have to make do without waterproofing and such things we take for granted...its nice to see apple bringing all this to their portfolio...
only one complaint..what is the need to remove a perfectly good 3.5mm jack? do the earpods have extra audio processor in them?
In india i phone 7 32 gb cost 904.8$(60000) but in america i phone 7 plus 32 gb cost 769$(51000). that's very bad

This eight-page booklet provides answers for questions that every wife may ponder in her mind. As a leader, your husband needs to be respected and honored. You will learn the seven most important needs that a husband desires in a marital relationship.
One of the greatest tragedies in life is a son or daughter entering into a marriage with high hopes and dreams, only to have those hopes and dreams shattered after a few months or years. This book explains those reasons and provides a revolutionary approach that will guarantee the success of a marriage by applying a powerful Biblical truth.
The commonly asked question today is, "Should divorced people remarry?" With great compassion and warmth, Dr. Laney maintains that the more fundamental question with which Christ dealt is, "Should married people be divorced?"
This exceptional course is designed to equip men and women with Biblical principles that will transform and strengthen their lives, as well as provide them with tools to disciple other men or women individually or in accountability groups.
Packed with Biblical instruction and useful applications, this resource helps to bring clarity and understanding to 17 vital areas of life that most men will encounter as they seek to be faithful followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.
With topics and goals corresponding to the Training Faithful Men Resource Manual, this workbook gives encouragement and additional information to those seeking to disciple other men, and advice to help create a healthy and profitable relationship between the trainer and the trainee.
With the loss of oral tradition, much of the wedding ceremony's meaning has been overlooked. The heritage behind time-honored rituals is revealed in this book.

A viscous-inviscid interaction calculation procedure is described for viscous flows containing separation bubbles based on an inverse finite-difference boundary layer method and a small disturbance Cauchy integral formulation for the inviscid flow. The viscous-inviscid matching procedure used appears to eliminate the need for smoothing or under-relaxation which is commonly required by other methods. Turbulence modeling for transitional separation bubbles is discussed and two empirically-based transition models are evaluated for bubble flows. Predictions for a laminar and a laminar-turbulent transitional bubble are presented. These predictions are compared with results from other prediction methods and with experimental measurements for the transitional bubble flow.

The Westlish Rebel model is completely unique and conforms to no tradition. The flap on the Westlish Rebel is ideally suited to the English flap and standard stitch lines. While the western seat and seat jockeys add to the feeling of riding a "substantial" saddle.
The seat on the Westlish Rebel offers a rider a roomy, relatively flat & open cushioned zone, that is unless the seat is contoured with a bolster. The knee roll is average with a removable knee block attached under the knee roll.
Rings located at the rear and sides of the seats create attachment areas for cantle packs or water bottle holders for convenience on the trail. Front rings are for attaching a breastplate and carry handle. Lower flap rings are meant for anchoring cantle packs or water bottles.
Available in various choices of smooth to grippy leathers – check with Nickers or your dealer for the latest offerings. Hardware choices are Stainless steel or solid brass.
The Westlish Rebel can be made with the dressage cantle, hybrid cantle, western cantle or tall western cantle. Swell choices are Hybrid, Western or Tall Western. The default choice for the Westlish Rebel is tall western swell and cantle.
Standard features include 2" (5cm) wide stirrup leathers with sliding western fenders. Some popular options are rear rigging "D", added hardware, cheyenne roll, hook receptive underside and removable rigging.
Due to the numerous custom features available, our Sensation Ride™ treeless saddles are not available for online purchase. Instead, one of our Sensation Ride™ Specialists work with you personally to develop the ideal saddle for you.
Please find our Pre-order form here, or contact us for more information on making your customized saddle!

|Trumpet rentals with RentMYinstrument.com all include
a trumpet, case, mouthpiece and valve oil
2 Great Student Trumpets to consider for Beginning Band
The Beginning Band instruments generally include a Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone and a Saxophone. When a student has decided they want to play on a trumpet, a handful of next questions arise: Where do I go to get a trumpet? What brand of trumpet should I be playing on? Should I rent or buy my trumpet?
Your Band Director is often going to be the best resource for you to speak to regarding these questions, however, at RentMYinstrument.com we have had thousands of band directors weigh in on exactly these questions.
Should you rent or buy a trumpet?
This is a question that isn't just an economic and financial question for families, but also an accountability and commitment question. A student's interest and commitment to their interest is one of the first and foremost indicators to gauge. If a student has an older sibling who plays an instrument, the younger sibling will have seen and heard all the time that it takes to play an instrument. When a student understands how much time and effort playing in the school band will be, this could be an indicator that they'll be playing for a long time and "stick with it." Occasionally students start with being interested in one instrument, and then change their mind and want to switch. For a parent, this could be a costly change, however, if you're renting an instrument with RentMYinstrument.com, the instrument can be exchanged in case they want to stop playing the trumpet and switch to the trombone, or the saxophone.
What brand of Trumpet should I be playing on?
Band Directors will be the first to tell you that if you choose time and trusted instrument brands and brand models, you will have a dependable and experience consistent with others who have also played on these brands and models. This is where the phrase "Band Director Approved" comes from. Band Directors will have horror stories of times when a student brought in something they found on craigslist, or ebay, and parents quickly learn that there is a lot of repair work needed for the instrument they originally thought was a good deal. Some internet websites, including amazon.com, showcase brands you've never heard of before, which may be rejected by a band director. Some of these random brands might play strange, have bad tone quality, or just not have parts the move the right way. At RentMYinstrument.com we only use the brands that band directors approve of and prefer.
Let's look at two Band Director approved student trumpets for beginning band:
Jupiter Student Trumpet
Brand: B.A.C Best American Craftsman Student Trumpet
Both of these trumpets can be found at www.rentmyinstrument.com/trumpet
If you're looking for a dependable instrument at the most affordable price, RentMYinstrument.com offers not only the band director approved models, but the best program to rent a trumpet nationwide. This trumpet rental program includes RentMYinstrument.com's famous 50% off early purchase program, which means that at any time you're renting an instrument from us, you can buy that instrument for 50% off what you owe on it. Typical music stores offer a 10-20% discount, and might try to appear lower cost on a monthly basis, but there are often hidden fees and long term commitment obligations with other companies.
