|I wondered why certain hybrids are difficult to find for purchase, even though they are described as easy, fast growers. I'm thinking specifically of C. Margaret Hort. I haven't found I anywhere but on eBay and have been outbid on it twice, one time if went for more than $60. (I would be afraid to spend that much to buy a plant, sight unseen, from a seller that I know nothing about).
Descriptions of the plant always mention its vigour and how quickly it grows. i. don't know if there are others, but why wouldn't there be?

|The laws of supply and demand apply for orchids and other plants too. Once a plant gets hyped as a really great one, everyone wants one and it takes a while for the growers to supply a larger number of plants. Then the price will drop, and they'll be widely available. It's not like manufacturing where the latest toy can be mass produced for the holiday season, right? It takes at least 2, and maybe 3 years to grow an orchid to near blooming size.
Also, Buyer Beware!! applies. Maybe some grower has a bunch of one type of orchid, and they decide to promote it as the next great plant . . . be sure you get those recommendations from private owners of the plant, not from a promo that originated with a grower. It might grow well and bloom prolifically for somebody in Hawaii or Florida, but indoors in New York is a whole different world to an orchid . .
You're right, $60 is way too much to pay for any orchid, sight unseen. I think even $30 is too much. Make a trip to the closest orchid show coming to somewhere near you, and you'll be much happier with what you can buy for that kind of money. @Ursula knows the shows and growers up in your neck of the woods.

|Regarding C. Margaret Hort - I would say that 60 bucks was a steal for a piece of this plant. l had to look it up, it was registered in 1962 and it is absolutely gorgeous. I would suspect this is one of those Heirloom Cattleyas which usually sell for several 100 Dollars.
If I were to use this particular Orchids in a breeding program, I would try to contact growers like Waldor Orchids. Waldor Orchids post sometimes old Cattleyas like that. Or simply search for Heirloom Cattleyas.
My question is - why persue an Orchid like that when there are dozens of just as gorgeous white Catts around for a lot less money.

|Like Elaine said, this is not just an orchid issue but an issue with almost every plant you can think of. For example, we can grow over 60 species of palms in central Florida yet when I walk around my neighborhood, I count only 6. If I go to the big box stores, I find those same 6. Growers concentrate on a small number of varieties that are quickly and easily grown and transported and that is what we are stuck with. My response is to fight back. I now grow over 30 species of palms on my property and speak at libraries and garden clubs on rare palms and where to get them. Looking for the hard to find plants you want is part of the fun. Good luck.

|Yes, and those ca 6 Orchids are found in Trader Joe's, local Supermarkets, Big Box Stores and such.
If one wants to see other Orchids, species and wonderful hybrids alike, I would always recommend visiting Orchid nurseries and walk through Orchid Shows, so you can see what's out there, besides those big box Orchids. ( some of those can be very pretty too....)
Walking through the greenhouses of Waldor Orchids, Silva Orchids (both in NJ) Oak Hill years ago, (Chicago), Hausermann (Chicago), Parkside in PA and truly most fortunate me - Ecuagenera in Ecuador, are great experiences. All of those nurseries sell online and at Shows. And there is Andy's Orchids with loads of wonderful species. Looking for Slipper Orchids - there is Glen Decker of Piping Rock Orchids (Galway, NY) and so many many more!! My beautiful C Chocolate Drop 'Kodama' came from Odoms Orchids years ago and I have picked up a few gems from Carter and Holmes.
So many good vendors!!

|By all means, support those growers that care about the plants, not just the profits. The folks that take the care and the time to grow rare but beautiful orchids deserve our support.

|Thank you.
Ursula, I'm glad you agree that there is something really special about that Margaret Hort. I have also been looking for Myrm. Herbert Osterreich but haven't been able to find it, Iwonder if that is another old variety. It's really pretty and I thought it would be kind of fun because my father, who is 88 years old, is named Herbert and he is from Vienna! But it's mostly because it is pretty!
I guess it will just take some looking to find a white flower with the flower shape and plant appearance that I like. Good excuse to look at lots of beautiful pictures! I had never heard of some of those nurseries before, so I will look them up on the map and plan for a field trip I the spring!
How do you hear about shows? I used to get emails from Parkside about open days, including other growers, that sounded great, but haven't had any of those since they changed hands. I do wish I had gone to them.
I imagine that most shows in this area are in the spring or summer, so it's something to look forward to.

|Many of these vendors will let you know when they have sales or will be at shows if you have purchased on line from them. That puts you on their mailing list. You can also check their websites, which often say what shows they will be at, and dates. Another resource is your local Orchid Society website for that info. I still get e-mails from Parkside, after 5 years, and Andy's sends me almost weekly e-mails, though I only ordered on line once either. Of course you can always watch this forum, where our local up coming shows are usually mentioned. The shows are always fun, and you get to know the vendors.
Dec 16, 2014 8:14 PM CST
|You are right about Margaret, Ursula. Likewise some of my most expensive orchids are not that pretty or easy to grow. For instance C Jacqeline Kennedy was over 300 and rare to get but for a collector it is worth it. These rarer orchids are not for beginners and therefore are going for better price, but on ebay you have to know the dealer!!!

|Ursula, thank you! No wonder I couldn't find it!!! Looking at it again (I had seen a photograph of I a long time ago and wrote the name down) it reminds me of the Cattlianthe Confetti that I have in sheath now.
I had to look up C. Jacqueline Kennedy and I can't believe th price, especially when there are other flowers that are just as pretty. I would e afraid to buy such an expensive plant, I'd probably knock it off the windowsill or the cat would eat it or something like that.

|I should mention that I subscribe to Orchids/the magazine of the AOS, and it lists the upcoming shows. Looking at the events in my area, the Northern NJ Orchid Society has a show Jan 16.-18. And the Deep Cut OS Show will be held Febr. 5. - 8.
Also, from The Silva Orchids website -their open house is on Jan. 23. - 25.
Now for me this is already plenty opportunity to get into trouble....

|The orchid business is an interesting one. I purchase my orchids from two major growers/hybridizers in Hawaii. I recently contacted one of those growers and gave him a list of ten plants that I had purchased before but had not been able to purchase again. They simply have not been listed on the website again . I explained that I would like to re-purchase these ten varieties and to let me know when any of them would be available again. I got an email saying basically that he would probably never have them again. He went on to explain that the reputable growers always limited the number of plants of a variety they grew so as never to "flood the market" with a variety. In other words, they attempt to keep the prices stable, particularly for hard-to-find and/or popular varieties. I think he has told the truth (at least when it comes to his being honest about not having varieties again), since several of my "most-wanted" plants were purchased five years ago and none of them have come up for sale again.

|Funny thing is, I have been looking at white cattleyas and crosses and haven't found bery many that are pure white without frills (is that what you call them? ), for some reason, I have a fancy for a non frilly flower, carried on an inflorescence, with a star shape. The best I found were some species cattleyas, today I will do some reading in books about cultivation of them. I have always believed (could be wrong) that hybrids are generally easier to grow.
Another beautiful white orchid that I'm having a little trouble finding is Cymbidium Sara Jean Ice Cascade.
But I'm having a lot of fun looking! And my wish list has now grown to two pages!

|Have you looked at Santa Barbara Orchids for this and other Cymbidiums? They have such a huge selection of Cymbidiums, you would be hard pressed not to find any to your liking. That particular website also tells you which one are warmth tolerant. If I am not mistaken, the one you picked needs a good cold spell to bloom, surely perfect for you.

|It never occurred to me that any nonnative orchid could grow outside! And it really is such a pretty flower, too. I will look into it.
Santa Barbara Orchids does have a fabulous selection of Cymbidiums, Ursula, you're right. I had always tried to stick with warmth tolerant Cyms because of growing indoors, but when I looked at their list, some of the plants that are listed as cool growers (I think one was Golden Elf?) have done quite well here, probably because I have been slow to bring them inside in the autumn. Laziness has paid off!!!
I notice that, for the most part, the warm tolerant varieties are yellow/orange, very few white or pink. The newer warm tolerant hybrids have a round flower, not as much to my taste. Oh, my, aren't I getting picky now?!

Learning from losing
I just heard from one of the judges at the Fresh Blood Contest that my Civil War novel didn't make the cut this round. I lost by five votes!
The contest has been an interesting ride, and while I'm bummed about losing I did learn a lot and am proud not only to have made the top ten finalists, but to have made it to top five before the public votes favored the other books.
When the voting was up to the judges, what mattered was my writing and I did fine. But the later rounds are by public vote, and it is essentially about how well you market yourself. I started a fanpage on Facebook and hit up people for votes on various newsgroups on Facebook and Yahoo. I also promoted it on my Twitter account.
The problem was, I went on assignment to Ethiopia and Somaliland for two months just when I needed to raise my public profile. With all of Ethiopia still on dialup, I was at a major disadvantage, and learned firsthand about one of the troubles facing writers in developing countries. But of course that was only part of the problem. I'm sure there was more I could have done to promote my book in the early stages when I was in Europe. Should I have been a bit pushier? Joined more newsgroups? Started a MySpace page? There are probably several things I'm not even thinking of here. Feel free to share them in the comments section because they may come in handy one day.
I believe A Fine Likeness will get published, and that it deserves to be published. It's a good story based on detailed historical research, and is now being peddled by an author who is a little wiser about the need for self-marketing.
Thanks to everyone who voted, especially those friends who bugged their own friends to vote, and to those who only know me through the Internet but had faith in my writing. I'm extremely grateful and proud to know you. If you're still interested in the contest even though I'm out of it, I suggest you vote for Heart of the City by Lisa A. Koosis. From a writer's point of view I think it's the finest submission (besides mine, ahem) and the one I was most worried about. I'll be voting for it now that I'm not voting for myself.

Hi Sean,
Sorry you came so close but didn't win, but you have a great attitude about it all.
And I agree that your book will be published.

Hi Sean,
I found your post through a Google Alert in my mailbox this morning. I was sorry to hear that "A Fine Likeness" was cut from the competition. I fully expected you to be one the final ones standing, and I'll look forward to hearing when you've found a home for your book.
I know what you mean, too, about marketing yourself. This whole "Fresh Blood" contest has been a learning experience for me, too, in that regard. I know whatever happens, I'll take plenty away from this experience.
Mostly, I wanted to say thank you for your shout out for my novel, Heart of the City. I can't tell you how much that means to me.
Best to you,
Lisa K.

All at sea.
On to more mundane matters. I am posting this early so that the week does not run away with me before I can....
You see Famille Jeste are about to step back in time to somewhere around the mid 1930's.
How, I hear you ask.
Well, we are standing as companions to an elderly couple on a cruise. So for two weeks starting this Sunday Dr J will be afloat, living the life of Riley. There are however a few things that are bothering me. The point is I know all about these cruise larks. I've seen the movies, and even read some of the books. So I know there are certain things that will be expected of me whilst aboard ship. Here is the list I have come up with so far. If there are others I have missed perhaps some of you wiser readers might care to contribute.
I presume that I shall be called upon to use my finely honed diagnostic skills to assist the onboard authorities in solving at least one, probably more than one, murder. ( I will of course be looking for Butlers or other disgruntled employees, ex-employees, or jilted lovers of the victims to pin the rap on).
I also anticipate being embroiled in a plot to save a well to do nephew from the scheming of an aged aunt to marry him off to an awfully nice but frightfully dim gel. (We have resolved to spend the entrire two weeks afloat greeting all our fellow passangers-- and especially any Americans we come across-- with a cheery "What Ho!").
I assume I will spend much of the voyage fending off the romatic advances of a stunningly gorgeous heiress, (especially now I have the "Thomas Magnum" style Hawaian Shirt Lady J has bought me for the Tropical Theme Night).
Lastly, I worry that I will be called on to paddle to an isolated desert island, towing Lady J and the offspring, as the vessel slips tragically below the waves never to be seen again. Once on said island I fear the social order will be turned on it's head and my family will be seduced by the wiles of a former butler into an alternative lifestyle that removes me from my righful place at the centre of the household.
Still, all of the above are compensated for by the prospect of round the clock pampering, feeding, and liquid refreshment, and the chance to visit some places not hitherto subjected to the depredations of Clan Jest.
*You probably won't believe this but I have just completed a medical exam for a bloke who used to be a chef on the very ship we shall be sailing on!*
Pip pip!

What a fine brew of crime novels, crime TV and classic british movies (I saw Kenneth More et al. in that quite recently - daring for its day, it was annoying that once back in dear old blighty, the natural order was restored in many ways). Is there a packet of chocolate Hobnobs on offer to those of us who can name that film? Of course, with all of these dubious plots swirling around, who would be foolhardy enough to eat those Hobnobs...
Just in case you do get stuck on a desert island - do remember to bring plenty of newspapers and wallpaper paste as a back-up plan.
Enjoy the vacances en famille.

Never mind the cosy novel stuff, just try to prevent all the galloping diarrhoea that cruises seem so prone to these days.

shinga-- Admirable response as always. Agree about the reversion of the social order, but then again, standards old gel, wot? And as for hob nobs, I take it I shall be too busy Hob Nobbing to enjoy such common fare. We shall have to see. Thanks for the DIY tip. Packing schedule will be duly revised after a quick trip to Homebase ;-)
stitchwort-- interestingly the one bit of health advice the cruise company have sent us is on that very topic. industrial quantities of imodium already packed. scarily I see this weeks BMJ e-leaning module is on traveller's diarrhoea. just time enough for me to brush up.

One could also add "By gum!" to one's vocabulary.

No, you'll be fine. Come back fit as fleas.
Except, I'm afraid, the heiresses might all be rather elderly. My 70, 80 and 90-year-old unattached friends all love cruises.

geena-- I'm stunned by the amount of Fancy Dress we are already packing. Still a deerstalker and pipe should fit in somewhere. Not so sure about the "By Gum" though. Bit Northern that. Will probably stick with "What Ho!".
z-- Just as I feared. Still there might be an exception to that rule?

Over the past four or five years I've been describing myself and revealing who I am every day in 140 characters or less. It's become an art form for me and I'm pleased with my ability to pare down entire thoughts into bite-sized, easily-digestable quips. Writing about myself within that platform is a fun challenge but writing about myself at length feels almost impossible. Writing it down makes everything feel slightly more finite or less flexible and less flexible is something I never want to feel. I believe every person is a work-in-progress, ebbing and flowing with each new experience and lesson learned.
While it's inevitable that everyone evolves over time it's important to me that my principles are unwavering. For me, being a good, honest person is paramount and my main principle in life is to just try to make everyone's days or lives a little easier or better, or at the very least, not worse. We're all in this together, right?
Not only does this principle of compassion guide my everyday interactions with other people but it's also something that applies in how I treat myself. Instead of stressing and making my day worse I choose to approach situations with a sense of level-headedness and attempt to work through them with aplomb. Working in a fast-paced environment taught me to not only make sense of the chaos but to remain unflappable in the face of monumental expectations.
Being able to roll with the punches is something I pride myself on. I rarely go anywhere or do anything without a plan but there's beauty in spontaneity and often the results have been better than anything I could have ever imagined. Whether I'm working on a design project or going on a roadtrip with a friend I'll lay out the destination but there's no telling how I or we will get there. Life never goes according to plan and that's okay, I just try to plot my path and see what happens along the way.
My career path is important to me but losing my job made me understand that paths have detours and it can sometimes take awhile before the destination starts to take shape and make sense again. I'm in a very unsure place in my life right now but I've never lost sight of my next goal. My tenacity (read: stubbornness) won't let me settle so every day I strive to achieve what I set out for. My goal isn't necessarily to be at the top. As long as I'm getting to be creative my goal is to be in a position where I can be part of something that matters to me and something I can be passionate about.
It's really that simple.
I'm a passionate person and I think everyone should be passionate about something. "Passion" gets thrown around a lot and can start to sound like an empty sentiment but passion is truly what drives me. I'm the type of person that does my work with passion or not at all because anything worth doing is worth doing well.
In addition to my principles and the attributes that define my character, I'm also a person that enjoys not taking life too seriously. I really enjoy my life, the people in it, and the person I've grown into. I like being enthusiastic about my interests and sometimes talking about them ad nauseum. I like finding the beauty in everything and being inspired by anything. I like being trustworthy and a good person. I like helping, inspiring, and encouraging people. I like volunteering and I try not to shy away from trying new things or taking some (calculated) risks.
I value memories and experiences over material things. I don't believe in being disingenious and I don't believe in guilty pleasures. I think we should all feel free to like what we like. I'm also fiercely independent and competitive and will stubbornly try to figure things out on my own before asking questions.
I get joy out of bringing joy to others. Laughing is one of my favorite activities and I like knowing that to other people I'll always be the witty one, the one everyone can count on to make them laugh. I've always told myself that if I've made even one person laugh then the day was a success.
Being self-aware is both a blessing and a curse so while I can mention the positive attributes I possess I can also admit that at times I can be loud, brazen, and a little excitable. We all have faults and flaws but it's what makes us complex, interesting human beings.
To put things a bit more succinctly: I'm someone who is both fun-loving and professional because like most things in life it's a little of column A, and a little of column B.

I finished my NaNoWriMo novel on Saturday, with six days to spare. I proclaimed my win on several social networks and got, with one notable exception, a lukewarm response. Some people liked my status. Some people didn't acknowledge the news at all. I am guessing, part of it is, that they are busy, but another part is, that they expect me to do it and win. I've done NaNo now three times and I've won it all three times. I did the same with the now defunct ScriptFrenzy twice. I write all the time. People think I have this in the bag.
It still takes a lot of work, concentration and focus. And that is what is good about this concentrated writing project with a set deadline. At least it is for me.
This year I worked on the third book of my dystopian series. I had been working on it for quite some time, but I never really got the ball rolling. I was stuck in a bog of sluggishness and half assed attention. Then NaNo came along and I vowed to myself to finish the damn book. I made a nice line under the 22,000 words I already had and counted everything I wrote from then on as my NaNo.I figured that should be enough to bring the story to an end.
The nature of the beast is such, that many people doing NaNO in our region go to the regional events and participate quite a bit. There is support and there is understanding. Combine that with the website and you got a place where people understand, more or less, what you are doing and what you are trying to do.
With that support system in place, I forced myself to come up with a story and an ending to the trilogy that was satisfying to myself. I can't stand books that end with a whimper, I needed something more drastic. Talking with fellow NaNoers and 'butt in chair, I will not leave until this is done' focus got me there. I now have a story that I like. Of course, the writing itself is horrible. There are not even chapter breaks yet. Sentences are as pedestrian as they come and aside from lists, then she said, then he said, then that happened, there is little structure.
I'm not worried about that. I can fix all these things later. The story stands and that is what NaNoWriMo in my house was for.
Everything else is secondary.
If after all that you wonder what NaNoWriMo stands for: It is National Novel Writing Month.

Sudah lama tidak meng'update' blog, kalau boleh diumpamakan macam bilik agaknya dah penuh sawang dah, heheh.. Anyway, sebelum apa-apa, I want to thank all readers for reading my so ordinary blog. Although blog ni tak de pape dan penuh tulisan yang merepek heheh tapi ada juga yang sudi menjengah dan meluangkan masa untuk menziarahi blog yang tidak seberapa ini. Jazakumullahu khairan. I appreciate your visit so much.
Kalau bercakap dengan saya, tak ada apa yang saya boleh bercakap panjang lebar melainkan tentang debat. Heheh, susah la nk berhenti bercakap kalau berbicara pasal debat dan perkara - perkara yang berkaitan dengan debat. It has become my passion and I am an enthusiast of debate. I learnt a lot of things from debate, my life was up and down because of it and I met wonderful people in debate.
I really propose to all of you to join debate. I know that not everyone suits to be a debater and debate doesn't suit everyone but if you want to have a try, it's really a good thing for you. There are a lot of things that you might not found in other activities, you can find it in debating.
1. Knowledge
Knowledge you can find it anywhere or everywhere or in other activities. You might say that not necessarily through debate you may gain knowledge. I do agree with that, but you could not find other effective mechanism for you to gain a lot of knowledge other than debate. In debate, people argue on vast various topics, politics, economics, social, education, sport as well as entertainment. And to win over your opponent, it's not easy unless if you have a lot of information that can give you a thorough insight about the topic you'll be debating on and information that you can use to fight your opponent. You cannot debate if you don't have a lot of information in your head. You can start with zero and later on you'll be reading a lot in order to enable you to debate well.
to be continued.... (heheh, mata dah ngantuk (-_____-)zzzzzz )

ROYAL Jones' first job out of high school was driving a truck in and around El Paso, Texas, in the mid-1970s.
He figured if he could get a second driver and find some efficiencies, he could double his money. Over a five-year period, he built a small fleet. In 1981, he added a partner and formed Mesilla Valley Transportation.
"He knew surcharges were 6 miles per gallon," said Derek Kaufman, president of C3 Network LLC. "He said, 'If I can get 6.5 per gallon, I can pocket the half mile per gallon times the number of gallons. If I can get to 7, that could be serious money. If I could get to 8, I could transform this company.'
"That's exactly what they did. Today, those two good ol' boys have a fleet of 1500 trucks, 4800 trailers, and 1700 employees. And they're seen as leaders in the heavy transportation industry for new technology in aerodynamics and powertrain efficiency. They're also getting a lot of help—in the '80s and '90s in emissions regulations, and now they're seeing exponential growth as the federal government sees not only the ability to add regulations to them but new technologies they fall in love with every day."
In his presentation, "How Emerging Technologies Can Generate Aftermarket Opportunities," Kaufman used their example to illustrate how companies can prioritize products and services.
Derek Kaufman, C3 Network LLC
He said trucking was early to the telematics party, with Omnitracs from Qualcomm arriving in 1987—a satellite transponder that provided two-way texting between dispatch and the driver. He said it's now the fastest-growing technology sector, with an explosion of apps, and it's the key technology for ERP and service management for large fleets.
The cost per vehicle is decreasing: In 1987, an Omnitracs transponder cost $4500 with a $50/month connection fee; last year, Omnitracs MCP50 was $799 with a $19.95/month connection fee.
The ROI factors: navigation (routing and reduced off-route miles); electronic logs (regulatory compliance efficiency); theft/security (asset management, trailer tracking); service (remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance, service scheduling); fuel reduction (idle monitoring and training); insurance cost reduction (driver monitoring); and risk reduction (safer operation).
Telematics includes:
• Vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Enables platooning, increases safety, acts as a platform for intelligent transportation systems (ITS).
• Digital short range communication. Roadside receivers/transmitters provide Wi-Fi level bandwidth by relaying data from moving vehicles.
• Software-Over-The-Air (SOTA). Allows OEMs to update software and firmware remotely—just like your computer does today.
There are several challenges, but OEMs are taking control to supply embedded hardware and packaged services on new trucks, he said.
"Market dynamics prevail," Kaufman said. "Fleets like autonomy and run multiple brands of trucks, and new apps are developing daily, so the issues become access to data, the open source versus closed source code, and the aftermarket versus OE mindset."
He said Paccar and Volvo/Mack have established "open architecture" telematics platforms that provide connection access to third parties. Navistar has created an open source diagnostics portal and is giving customers $300 credits to promote its use. Customers can use the credit to work with third-party hardware providers. And Daimler is now converting its closed Detroit Connect system to Zonar's "Ground Traffic Control," which features open software features.
Kaufman said aftermarket opportunities are all about helping the second and third owners compete with the large fleet new trucks.
"Telematics becomes a CRM tool for service shops," he said. "With a move to automated service scheduling, service access is key. Tie WDs to trouble code alerts, forming a triangle of 'truck uptime assurance'—distributor, service shop, and fleet. Ongoing access to data is key. Truck OEMs need the aftermarket to maintain the reputation of their brands."
His action points:
• Create a "telematics task force." Position it as a lead marketing tool.
• Learn to analyze data. For your company and your customers.
• Partner with telematics solutions providers. But fully understand their IP ownership. Look for a "three-tool source."
• Primary buyer focus—second owners.
He said safety technology is a "great aftermarket opportunity," led by: Lane Departure Warning (LDW), in which a warning sounds if the truck moves out of its lane without the turn signal on; Lane Keep Assist (LKA), an active control of braking and/or steering to keep the truck in the lane; and video, infrared, and LIDAR.
He said the Department of Transportation says that LDW could reduce up to 2500 single vehicle road departures; up to 1300 rollovers; up to 2233 lane departures; up to 1992 opposite direction departures; and up to 118 head-on collisions. The LDW technology cost is estimated at $700 to $800 per truck. The ROI equals $1.37 to $6.55 per dollar spent.
Collision avoidance technology features Forward Collision Avoidance and Mitigation (FCAM); Forward Looking Radar/Video, which senses closing distance and triggers an audible warning; and Brake and Stability System Ties, with active braking and ESC control to stop the truck before hitting a vehicle.
He said the National Transportation Safety Board is recommending that NHTSA create new regulations on collision avoidance for commercial vehicles. There was an October 2015 notice of rulemaking evaluation.
The FCAM technology cost is estimated at $2500 to $3000 per truck. Typical suppliers are MobileEye, Bendix Wingman, and Meritor WABCO OnGuard.
Video cameras have outside forward-facing technology that captures road dynamics and rear/side technology that augments or replaces cab-mounted mirrors and provides dock-spotting support.
Kaufman said 80% of truck accidents are caused by passenger car drivers. Mirrors represent a 2% drag coefficient, and eliminating them could generate $500 per truck per year. Stereo cameras can eliminate blind spots and increase safety, and dock spotting can increase efficiency and decrease trailer and dock damage. Typical suppliers are Velvac Road IQ, ROSCO Vision, VDO ProViu, Lytx DriveCam, Mio MiVue, Zone Defense, Janus Cam, Sharp, Bendix Wingman, SmartDrive.
Aftermarket opportunities for safety technology:
• Warning-only systems. "Risk factors are still high in accident litigation."
• Active systems. "OEM controls all installation. Safety implications represent too much risk for aftermarket applications. Lots of work to be done on security of systems, especially anti-hacking."
• Component service. "Solid aftermarket potential. Sensors, radar units, cameras, data collection."
• Cameras. "Solid aftermarket potential. Tractor installed, trailer portable, cab interior."
His action plan:
• Develop FCAM and camera supply relationships. Warning system providers.
• Understand active system BOMs and service. Sensors, hardware, and service requirements.
• Become a risk mitigator. Annual "system health" inspection and repair.
• Primary buyer focus—first, second, and third owner.
Platooning technology is vehicle-to-vehicle wireless that links trucks together under driver control. Front-facing radar is adaptive cruise control to monitor closing distance. Collision avoidance is active braking, and real-time video allows the rear driver to view the road ahead.
"Close proximity decreases resistance," Kaufman said. "The lead truck 'makes a hole' in the wind, so the rear truck has a 10% fuel economy gain and the front truck sees a 4.5% gain, with a 7% combined gain meaning $1750 per truck per year. There is a usage-based fee structure in Peloton. The fleet pays a per-mile fee to use system. There is no subscription fee when not platooning. A one-time installation cost is kept low to maximize payback. ♦

This morning I was still down 3lbs and going strong. So I am now 202.6 less than a pound away from my -20lbs goal and only 3lbs away from hitting Onederland!!! I totally have to give the move credit since I still haven't got back into the running and exercise routine. I'm so motivated by the weight loss and the fact that I put on a pair of jeans that I haven't worn in over 18 months and they fit like a glove.
*The last time I wore these jeans I had just done the HCG crash diet before going to Disney World as a chaperon for TaTa's Band trip and lost 25 pounds in 6 weeks, it was hell living on nasty drops and 500 calories a day, not working out
cause you would die from the lack of energy and being a total crabby beotch the whole time. I vow never to do a crazy diet again besides I gained it all back in less than 3 months. Though this time around it is much slower I am happy and eating what I want ( within moderation) and feel energized and strong from working out if I ever get back into the grove of it.

An council worker has risked his own safety, wading through floodwaters to save a woman who had become trapped in her partially submerged car at Nundah in Brisbane.
Mobile phone footage shows the man open the driver's door of the white sedan, pull the woman onto his back and wade through the water to safety.
Heavy rainfall lashed Queensland's southeast coast across the morning. In just one hour, 62mm of rain was detected near Enoggera Dam.
A severe thunderstorm warning is now in place for Esk, Caboolture and Kilcoy, as well as the Capricornia, Wide Bay and Burnett and parts of Central Highlands and Coalfields, Darling Downs and Granite Belt and Southeast Coast Forecast Districts.
Further south, thunderstorms are also predicted to bring heavy rain to large areas of northern New South Wales.
The rain caused traffic havoc in Brisbane with water over the road on Gympie and Sandgate roads, and on one northbound lane of the Gateway Motorway at Nudgee.
Earlier, a crash on the Centenary Highway inbound from Darra to Mt Ommaney caused lengthy delays.
Send your wet weather photos and video to email@example.com but please, stay safe.
Temperatures across the southeast coast are not forecast to exceed 29 degrees all week, despite Friday heralding the technical start of summer.
Meanwhile, it was 35C in Melbourne today and Hobart and Launceston are on course to see their warmest November daytime temperature on record.
It's going to be a wet start to summer in Victoria, with a massive downpour of rain coming on Friday.
The Bureau of Meteorology has warned some parts of the state could see 250mm of rain.
Three-day totals of 60 to 120mm are expected south of the Divide, with totals expected to be between 100 and 200mm over remaining areas on and north of the Divide.
However, totals over the northeast ranges may exceed 250mm, the BoM said.
According to Weatherzone, low pressure troughs are also triggering showers and storms over eastern parts of Western Australia, but clearing over the Northern Territory, western Queensland and eastern New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
Queensland Fire and Emergency Services advises that people should:
* Never drive, walk or ride through flood waters. If it's flooded, forget it.
* Seek shelter, preferably indoors and never under trees.
* Avoid using the telephone during a thunderstorm.
* Beware of fallen trees and powerlines.
* For emergency assistance contact the SES on 132 500.

The impact of support for imports on food security in Indonesia
The impact of support for imports on food security in Indonesia - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
This study on the impact of import support on food security was conducted in eight developing countries -including Indonesia- that were facing food insecurity and were recipients of subsidized exports and food aid. In Indonesia, the analysis of import flows in comparison with overall production and consumption data led to the selection of the three import substitute commodities, soybean, sugar and milk, that were the focus of this study. The objective of the study was to provide an analysis of the national impact of export support measures on food security, by taking into account their impact on the producers and consumers of the three commodities.

Terror and traffic spurring more interest in bollards (Fast Co)
No comments
The twin spectres of terror and traffic are spurring more interest in bollards to stop weaponized cars…
But the humble bollard is rapidly gaining attention after Sayfullo Saipov drove a car onto a Manhattan bike path last week, killing eight people. The day after the attack, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand proposed a $50 million act that would see bollards installed across the city.
Saipov is just latest person to weaponize a car after similar attacks in Europe, and domestic demographic and technological forces are fueling the bollard business: Aging drivers, as well as distracted smartphone users, are forcing stores and restaurants to consider protecting their facades.
Cities around the world are facing a reckoning: If anyone can drive anywhere, how do you protect the people? It's a question tinged both by the advent of post-9/11 defensive architecture in urban America and the emergence of pro-pedestrian policies in cities, along with increasing concerns about aging and distracted drivers. Bollards, in theory, can satisfy all three.

HAVANA (AP) — Cuban and U.S. delegations on Tuesday ended a preparatory meeting for holding future negotiations on human rights without setting a date, agenda or host for those talks.
The head of the Cuban delegation at the session in Washington, Foreign Ministry official Pedro Luis Pedroso, said at a news conference that the lack of details did not mean the negotiations would not be held. He said a decision on holding the talks would be reached during traditional diplomatic channels.
A U.S. government statement said only that both sides expressed a willingness to address a variety of topics at future talks...

How are you? Say, I thought I'd run this by you...I'm intrigued by male scents with rose in them. I wouldn't say that I'm into heavily floral scents, but I like having floral elements amongst other notes. I ran across Iquitos, which I think I mentioned to you, and now I see that Zino Davidoff has rose notes, too. Both of these sound very interesting and are unavailable in my area. I do realize that they're probably very different, though I notice that they're from the same era. Maybe I could wait on these, as I gather they're more for cool weather. Then again, I may feel free to violate this sort of division! ;)
If you have a moment or two and would like to share your thoughts, that would be great!
Thanks again,
Hi D!
I'm great, thanks, just found a nice apartment in the town where I'll be living so my day is made! As for rose scents...well, neither Zino nor Iquitos is particularly rose-ish, though Iquitos definitely seems to have a more of a rose tinge than Zino. Zino is a big, brash, masculine musk and woods scent, while Iquitos is more of a chypre, focusing on the mossy notes (actually, Iquitos reminds me of an incense a friend brought me from India). If you're really looking for rose, then let me suggest the following 3 fragrances:
- L'Artisan Voleur de Roses
- Rosine Rose d'Homme
- Diptyque Opone
Now, that being said, here are some other rose scents that are not necessarily men's fragrances, but that I really enjoy anyhow:
- Agent Provocateur
- Serge Lutens Sa Majeste la Rose
- Creed Fleurs de Bulgarie
- Rosine Folie de Roses
- Keiko Mecheri Gourmandises
- Montale Aoud Queen Roses
- Montale Attar

eNews Issue 23
We say it so often we sometimes forget it's true: HKA is a global community. I was reminded of this again when I was in Boston and London these last two weeks for faculty recruiting fairs. In both cities I was able to have dinner with former families, students, graduates and even prospective families. It's wonderful to reconnect with HKA'ers now living out of Hong Kong, to see how well former students are transitioning to new schools and to university life and to hear stories about HKA has shaped their lives.
I also had a chance to provide updates on HKA in its local community and to talk specifically about the school's work with the Sai Kung Community Center. Through the efforts of the Secondary School, especially the Coffeehouse, HKA has been able to donate more than HK$40,000 to the community center in support of youth programmes. This year's Coffeehouses are also raising funds for the Community Center and we look forward to contributing more.
Happy New Year to you all in this year of the monkey. I wish you a wonderful holiday and look forward to seeing again on the 15th!

So, there I am, sitting crossed legged on my living room floor at the coffee table with the love of my life sitting right there beside me. In front of us a feast of our favourite cheeses, salami, Roasted Red Pepper stuffed Olives, fresh bread and, of course, vino! Are all of these the best there is? That's a matter of opinion, but given the time, place and company, they were the best that night!
We went to Whole Foods to pick up some of our favorite cheese, Drunken Goat, and while there we decided to see if we could find some semi dry Jack cheese like the kind we get at our favorite little cheese maker in Sonoma, Vella! Low and behold they actually carried the Oro Secco, which is Vellas dried 7 month aged Jack that is a wonderful golden-yellow colour with just a hint of bite. It went great with the Volpi salami and the olives. And everything went great with the wine that I brought home…
2007, Finca Relsalso, Tempranillo, Ribera del Duero
The grapes were sourced from vines ranging in age from 5 to 15 years old and the wine was aged for 4 months in new French oak. It has a lively deep ruby colour that glints like a liquid gem. The nose is ripe with red berry aromas and underlying notes of dusty minerality and spice that are very evocative of the place where this wine came from. I could almost smell the dry sun-baked soil and smell the vines on the warm breeze. On the palate this wine didn't disappoint and was almost Bordolaise with powdery minerality and dry earth notes taking the lead with rich dark fruits bringing up the rear to deliver a luscious mouthfeel supported by well-integrated, soft, almost silky yet chewy tannins. And the finish was long and warm with just enough hint of acidity to keep the fruit flavours alive. It's character really played well with the soft and creamy nature of the Drunken Goat cheese and had wonderful contrast to the shaper Oro Secco and Olives. The tannins were perfect match for the fatty goodness of the salami as well and if I closed my eyes I felt like I could have been sitting somewhere in Spain!
This is another wine that is restoring my faith in wines from the region as it seems winemakers there are returning to more classic styles of wine that use French oak in moderation instead of over oaking in American oak. And it's still a bargain at $15.00
So, was the meal great in its own right? I say yes. Was it because of time and place and company, again I say yes. Does it matter which one? Not in the slightest.

I'm unsure if Pocari Sweat was the worst drink I ever had while in Japan... it may have been because i predisposed not to like it because it had the word "sweat" in its brand name.
All I can tell you is that even though I might have been dehydrated, regardless of its supposed hydrating promise, the taste was horrible.
That's just my opinion, and need not be yours.
As for the drink pictured in the photo above, we have Pocari Pet Sweat - no, not for people, rather it's a drink for pets... and judging by the graphic on teh label - just for dogs.
Considering my last dog would sometimes eat his own poo, he might actually enjoy Pet Sweat, a drink cultivated expressly for dogs that work out.
Most dogs that are active, will sweat... or at least that's sorta what the whole panting, tongue hanging out thing is about.
Would Pet Sweat actually be helpful to a panting dog? Sure.
Would said dog consider it a horrible taste? Not my poop eating dog, surely. Pet Sweat is calcium-fortified water.
If you've ever had water that was heavy in calcium - IE from poor taps, you might not think that having calcium in a drink is good for you.... but perhaps it's okay.. in limited doses.
For example, a person sitting on their butt watching the Olympics should probably not drink Gatorade... because the body doesn't require the salts that are in it. (I like Blue flavor.)
(Yes, I know blue is not a flavor.)
But how about calcium-fortified water for your pet? When does the dog need that extra calcium? Why isn't water good enough? Just what sort of activities is your dog doing that requires an injection of calcium in its water?
Only you the pet owner who gives their pet Pet Sweat can answer that.
Still.. there's probably a reason why this drink hasn't caught on in North America... or Europe...
Anyhow... neither it seems did Pet Sweat catch on in Japan... as this 2008 debut doesn't seem to be around now.
Fortunately, no animals were harmed in the making of this blog.
By the way... for my poo-eating dog... I would slip him a Listerine breath strip to at least freshen that breath should he come near me. I like to think it worked and killed any bacteria in his mouth that was there from his horrible, horrible meal.
Addendum: Hours after this was publisher, General Mills announced the purchase of Blue Buffalo Pet Products, a "wholesome" pet food manufacturing company for a cool US$8-billion
Shows what I know... perhaps Pet Sweat was simply ahead of its time...
