What happens when your team or organisation finds itself in the midst of rapid, seemingly unpredictable events?
Let's say a new actor storms onto the scene and directly challenges the very mission and primary funding of your enterprise? Or a new Managing or General Director is hired, and they immediately initiate a radical change initiative that merges your group with another? Or you are charged with bringing stability to a region, or to your organisation, after a period of volatile turbulence?
In these situations a 'leader' can rarely can provide all the answers, control all the forces, and make all the decisions. What a leader really does need are a range of tools and practices to unpack complexity, exercise judgement and engage the 'leader' in the entire team to steer through this turbulence.
Simply describing these circumstances as VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) is insufficient. We can be 'taken hostage' by such descriptions. What we really need are clarity, constructive strategies and effective practices that a group can engage in, collectively.
Rapid, unpredictable, paradoxical and tangled forces require an agile embrace by a team that shares Direction, Alignment and Commitment. To slow-down to speed-up. To leverage polarity rather than be polarised by it. To quickly make collective sense of unpredicted and tangled events so that action can be tested and adjusted. We call this flipping from being hostage to VUCA to leading though turbulence.
Join us and learn how to not become hostage to VUCA and simultaneously leverage disRUPTive forces for your mission. A special guest this year is George Kohlrieser who will present one such lens on leading when 'you are taken hostage' by yourself, others, or the situation: Literally!
'Leading and Influencing with Impact' will take place from 5-7 November at the GCSP in partnership with CCL. Join us to learn more about RUPT!

Here's Looking At You: Spooky Shadow Play Gives Jupiter a Giant Eye
The Hubble Space Telescope treats astronomers to gorgeous close-up views of the eerie outer planets. But it's a bit of a trick when it seems like the planet's looking back at you! In this view, the shadow of the Jovian moon Ganymede swept across the center of the Great Red Spot – a giant storm on the planet. This gave Jupiter the uncanny appearance of having a pupil in the center of a 10,000-mile-diameter "eye." Now if it blinks, we may really have to worry!
Close Encounters: Comet Siding Spring Seen Next to Mars
This is a photo composite of the encounter of Comet Siding Spring with Mars on October 19, 2014. Separate Hubble Space Telescope images of Mars and the comet have been combined together into a single picture. This is a composite image because a single exposure of the stellar background, Comet Siding Spring, and Mars would be problematic because the objects are all moving with respect to each other and the background stars. Hubble can only track one planetary target at a time. Also, Mars is actually 10,000 times brighter than the comet, and the exposure here has been adjusted so that details on the... Read more
NASA's Hubble Telescope Finds Potential Kuiper Belt Targets for New Horizons Pluto Mission
The Kuiper Belt is a vast disk of icy debris left over from our Sun's formation 4.6 billion years ago. Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) are a unique class of solar-system body that has never been visited by interplanetary spacecraft. They contain well-preserved clues to the origin of our solar system. NASA's New Horizons probe will fly by Pluto in mid-2015 and then continue across the Kuiper Belt on its way toward interstellar space. The Hubble Space Telescope was used to do a deep sky survey to identify KBOs that the New Horizons spacecraft could potentially visit on its outbound trajectory. The deep sky... Read more
NASA Telescopes Find Clear Skies and Water Vapor on Exo-Neptune
The weather forecast for a planet 120 light-years from Earth is clear skies and steamy water vapor. Finding clear skies on a gaseous world the size of Neptune is a good sign that even smaller, Earth-size planets might have similarly good visibility. This would allow earthbound astronomers to measure the underlying atmospheric composition of an exoplanet. Astronomers using the Hubble, Spitzer, and Kepler space telescopes were able to determine that the planet, cataloged HAT-P-11b, has water vapor in its atmosphere. The world is definitely steamy with temperatures over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The... Read more
Hubble to Proceed with Full Search for New Horizons Targets
Planetary scientists have successfully used the Hubble Space Telescope to boldly look out to the far frontier of the solar system to find suitable targets for NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto. After the marathon probe zooms past Pluto in July 2015, it will travel across the Kuiper Belt - a vast rim of primitive ice bodies left over from the birth of our solar system 4.6 billion years ago. If NASA approves, the probe could be redirected to fly to a Kuiper Belt object (KBO) and photograph it up close.
As a first step, Hubble found two KBOs drifting against the starry background. They may or may... Read more
NASA's Hubble to Begin Search Beyond Pluto for a New Horizons Mission Target
The Kuiper Belt is the final frontier of our solar system, and also the vastest. Stretching from 3 to 5 billion miles from the Sun, it contains myriad primitive icy bodies left over from the birth of our solar system 4.6 billion years ago. After passing the dwarf planet Pluto in July 2015, NASA's New Horizons space probe will hurtle deep into the Kuiper Belt at nearly 35,000 miles per hour. The Hubble Space Telescope is being used to search for a suitable Kuiper Belt object that New Horizons could pay a visit to. It would be our first and perhaps last look at such a remote relic from the distant... Read more
Hubble Shows that Jupiter's Great Red Spot Is Smaller than Ever Seen Before
Jupiter's monster storm, the Great Red Spot, was once so large that three Earths would fit inside it. But new measurements by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveal that the largest storm in our solar system has downsized significantly. The red spot, which has been raging for at least a hundred years, is only the width of one Earth. What is happening? One possibility is that some unknown activity in the planet's atmosphere may be draining energy and weakening the storm, causing it to shrink. The Hubble images were taken in 1995, 2009, and 2014.
Join Hubble astronomers for further discussion about... Read more
Hubble Sees Mars-Bound Comet Sprout Multiple Jets
Comet Siding Spring is plunging toward the Sun along a roughly 1-million-year orbit. The comet, discovered in 2013, was within the radius of Jupiter's orbit when the Hubble Space Telescope photographed it on March 11, 2014. Hubble resolves two jets of dust coming from the solid icy nucleus. These persistent jets were first seen in Hubble pictures taken on Oct. 29, 2013. The feature should allow astronomers to measure the direction of the nucleus's pole, and hence, rotation axis. The comet will make its closest approach to our Sun on Oct. 25, 2014, at a distance of 130 million miles, well outside... Read more
Hubble Witnesses an Asteroid Mysteriously Disintegrating
Though fragile comet nuclei have been seen falling apart as they near the Sun, nothing like the slow breakup of an asteroid has ever before been observed in the asteroid belt. A series of Hubble Space Telescope images shows that the fragments are drifting away from each other at a leisurely one mile per hour. This makes it unlikely that the asteroid is disintegrating because of a collision with another asteroid. A plausible explanation is that the asteroid is crumbling due to a subtle effect of sunlight. This causes the rotation rate to slowly increase until centrifugal force pulls the asteroid... Read more
Hubble Space Telescope Sees Evidence of Water Vapor Venting off Jovian Moon
Though it's five times farther from the Sun than Earth, and therefore so cold that ice becomes as hard as rock, Jupiter's moon Europa may be the first place to go to look for extraterrestrial life. Ever since the moon, which superficially resembles a cracked eggshell, was photographed close-up by the Voyager space probe, scientists have been intrigued by its potential as a niche for life.
For over the past 30 years it has been hypothesized that the icy crust covers a subsurface ocean. Where there is water there could be life. Now NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has found something the Jovian probes... Read more

I love reading poems. Most of them don't make sense to me immediately, they are rather challenging since they give me the room to interpret them differently than how someone else might perceive it. Every time I read "The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost" I get a different image of how a person enters the woods and makes his choice of road to be traveled on. But if you consider the woods to be life and let's be honest, woods are life, then this is just one of the many forks in his way.
you have read this poem a thousand times and for those who have not, the poem goes something like this;
So the traveler looked up into the woods and saw two roads, he stopped and thought about which one be best suited for himself? He saw that there are two paths, one has been trodden many times before – a promise comes with it that people before him trusted this path and the other is faint – it doesn't seem safe. After a lot of thinking he makes his choice – he chose the path less traveled and rod on to find what lies ahead. And he says, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."

Just Love Mission is also
Our Motto:
Treat others as you would like 2 B treated and C a "WORLD of Difference"!
Vision Statement:
JUST LOVE MISSION's vision is to change people's lives positively, through neighbourly love
(Ubuntu), by means of aviation awareness in the person of "Little Annie" an Antonov AN-2 aircraft
which was donated out of love and flown all the way from Russia (Siberia) to South Africa for this
specific purpose.
Mission Statement:
We will use "Little Annie" as a lively and vibrant personality (based on the original comic strip and
subsequent musical "Annie") in the form of an aircraft, to kindle hope in the hopeless and to spur a
desire in others to give according to their gifts.
The concept of a "living aircraft" is uniquely attractive and has the potential to captivate the
imagination through her exciting adventures, as people meet "Little Annie" and see how she lives
out her attitude of "care-2-share" and "believe the impossible".
She will provide much needed humanitarian aid and an opportunity to experience flight to those
who did not believe they would ever know the joy of flight.
It is indeed Little Annie's mission, through her exposure in person, through media coverage (printed
media, radio and possibly a reality show, ) and through social media (website and Facebook), to
become a household name with a significant following.
She will thus be instrumental in building productive relationships between sponsors and
communities through the medium of aviation. Through hard work infused with ample humour and
using this tangible conduit through which sustainable social and economic environments are
created, we believe that JUST LOVE MISSION provides a winning recipe to see people uplifted, the
environment protected, and a positive attitude promoted among both volunteers and communities.
Serving ALL in love.
Leading through serving"

Are there any sports in Australia that we are so bad at but still enter that I would have a chance of making the Olympics team?
I mean, without dedicating my entire life to perfecting something like swimming, and not needing a lot of natural ability or training that embodies everything in the Olympics. Something that Australia suck at beyond comprehension that by default, I would weasel my way into the team. Purely because no one else tried out. My reasoning basically implied, how many people are really trying out for our national water polo team?

Largely ignored by mainstream media and western politicians is the relentless persecution and slaughter of Christians in the Middle East. Christians continue to be slaughtered in Egypt on a regular basis, but the world yawns. The Muslim persecution of Christians in the Middle East has decimated centuries-old communities and has the Christians of Egypt living under constant threat, and all the enemedia ever talks about is islamofauxbia.
There won't be any reprisals, no cruise missiles, no outrage in the UN.
The carnage brought to us by the religion of peace will continue so long as the root cause is ignored. While the West continues to deny the truth about Islam and the directives within the Quran demanding bloody Jihad, there is no hope of stopping this. The doctrine of Islam is fundamentally violent — period. We can expect no reform, as the core text requires the kuffar to submit or be slain. Allah says Islam is perfected. How can one reform what is perfected?
And Pope Francis will continue to exhort us that Islam is peace, even as Christians continued to be targeted by Muslims in Egypt. One day, the way things are going, they will attack the Vatican, and the Pope will lock himself inside and ponder what he has enabled as the Muslim mob rages outside.
"Egypt: Sinai militants pledge to 'kill more Copts' after murdering man over cross tattoo," World Watch Monitor, January 15, 2018:
Militants belonging to the 'State of Sinai' group in Egypt have promised to "kill more Copts" after murdering a 27-year-old Coptic man because of the tattoo of a cross on his wrist.
Bassem Herz Attalhah, also known as Haythem Shehata, was on his way home from work in El-Arish, capital of North Sinai governorate, on Saturday evening (13 January), with his brother Osama and neighbour and friend Mohamed, when they were stopped by three armed men, aged between 23 and 25.
"We thought they were policemen because they weren't masked… They were wearing black jackets," Osama, 38, told World Watch Monitor. "They approached us and asked Bassem to show them the wrist of his right hand, and when they saw the tattoo of the cross, they asked him: 'Are you Christian?' Bassem answered 'Yes, I am Christian', and repeated that again in a loud voice."
The men then asked Mohamed his name and made him show his wrist. When they saw he had no tattoo, he was allowed to leave.
Then they turned to Osama.
Osama is a common name, also among Muslims, and the men didn't know he was Bassem's brother.
"Bassem told them that I had children," Osama recalls. "They asked me to show them the wrist of my right hand and, when they didn't see any cross, they thought that I was Muslim." The men didn't see the cross that Osama has tattooed on the top of his hand because it was hidden under his sleeve.
"They fired two shots on the ground close to my legs and asked me to leave," he recalled. "And then they shot Bassem in the head. I could not believe what happened to my brother. He fell on the ground in front of me and I was unable to do anything."
On his way to find help, Osama says his legs gave way from the shock. Their mother, upon hearing the news, fainted and had to be taken to hospital.
"We lost a person dear to our hearts. My brother Bassem was a very good and kind man. He had a strong relationship with God. He was always reading in the Bible, praying and going to the church. He was loved by all people," Osama said.
When Bassem's close friend Milad Wasfi heard he had been killed, he couldn't believe it and called his friend's phone. His call was answered, but not by his friend.
"The terrorists answered me and said they belong to State of Sinai and promised to kill more Copts before they put down the phone," he told World Watch Monitor.
Scores of Coptic Christian families left for Ismailia and Suez, about 200km away, after a string of killings in El-Arish last year – including one incident where a woman witnessed her husband and son killed by a gunman who then ticked them off an IS hit-list. In March 2017 it was estimated that 70 per cent of the 160 Coptic Christian families living in the city had left.
Bassem, Osama and their parents had been among those who fled the city. Struggling to find work in Ismailia, however, the two brothers left for Cairo, and when things did not work out for them there either, they decided to return to El-Arish in September….

Awareness of humanity's biggest problems is rising. While there appears to finally be a slow groundswell of popular understanding and alarm about what humans are doing to the planet (which is quite late but very good), there is still a lot of mishandling (and often misrepresentation) of the news. This results in persistent widespread misconceptions about our position and probable future on the planet. So what kinds of things are we "not getting"?
Recycling and conservation will not save us. As a "for instance", we are not going to save ourselves from global disaster through recycling and conservation. Recycling and conservation may buy us time to work towards sustainability, but if we fail to do that the extra time only allows human numbers to reach an even higher peak before our infrastructure, food, and political systems experience increasingly catastrophic failures.
Technology will not save us. For many years a lot of people, myself included, thought we could invent fusion power sources that would enable us to feed our exploding numbers and continue to build and improve our civilization further. While a major breakthrough such as cheap fusion power would buy us time, it also carries the risk that it may decrease the need for us to understand the fundamental facts of our situation: that population numbers are absolute, and every new mouth must be fed, housed, educated, and made useful to society if possible, and all those needs increase the burden and risk we experience as a species and as a global ecology. Of course, there is little probability of fusion power being cheap since those corporations that control the technology will price it as high as the market will bear, and if it is "saving our butts" and preventing famine, for example, the demand will drive the price to astronomical heights. In supply and demand terms, the price at which the maximum quantity might be manufactured and sold is a long way from the much higher price that maximizes the profits of those few corporations. Today that is already the major factor slowing the implementation of most new technologies.
Neither praying nor political infighting will save us. Politics and religion will get in the way of our achieving a sustainable situation. Established corporations have long supported conservative political and religious groups, largely because they have proven to be easy to manipulate into positions that favor corporate profits. There are exceptions, of course, such as the so-called right to life movement, which few corporate interests apparently see as useful, but less-educated groups have typically been easiest to scare and thereby control for corporate benefit. Corporate-supported conservative political institutions and dissociated groups such as climate change deniers have significant short-term value to corporations, mostly in their ability to help block or de-fund regulation, and inevitably hinder progress towards sustainability. Religions that emphasize faith over thinking condition their followers to be gullible and susceptible to political and economic manipulation, and often work against education that would provide badly needed brain power. Single issue conservative groups such as gun owners skew their followers' thinking towards their area of concern and discourage critical thinking and independent action, essentially keeping "blinders" on their supporters. Often such groups are clearly dominated by a single industry group such as the gun industry, who will actively support any group that works for policies that increase their profits.
These are just a few changes I am watching, combined with my thinking on how they will affect our long-term future. The world, like every one of us, is an unfathomably complicated place facing rapidly increasing risk of global and large-scale catastrophes that will probably include the breakdown of our infrastructure and food systems, famine (in the third world first), major global epidemics, and the relative exhaustion of our natural resources. (We won't run out of petroleum but it will seem like it when it costs $20 for a half ounce can of 3-in-1 oil.) These problems are driven at their roots by simple population growth and the natural human desire to live as well as possible. Our numbers are already far above a sustainable level and a global birth rate persists that will see the population quadruple in my short lifetime. THAT is the fundamental issue which, sad to say, our media, politicians, and corporate interests are mostly ignoring or too afraid to mention. The things that ARE being discussed, such as conservation and technological innovation, are double-edged swords that may soften the huge adjustments (die-off's?) that must occur during the rest of this century or may serve to hide the fundamental issues and set us up for worse catastrophes than we can now imagine. Only time will tell, but good luck to us all. I urge everyone to learn more and work to not just conserve resources, but to increase the public consciousness that birth rate and total population are the fundamental issues behind most current world problems. We have to recognize and understand our problems clearly if we are to start making any headway on reducing our birth rate and softening the inevitable collapse to come within the next thirty to fifty years.
Thanks for reading. Your comments are always welcome. — Tim

New Attitudes and Values
If the 1960s was the decade of youth, and the 1970s was the decade of women, then the 1980s could be the decade of men — at least in the opinion of some social trend watchers. "American men are on the edge of a tidal wave of change — a change in their very identity as men," feminist Betty Friedan said recently. It is a change not yet clearly visible or completely understood, but its effects could be as important and far-reaching as those wrought by the women's movement, she added. "Men's liberation," as the new phenomenon sometimes is called, is seen by many as the "second stage" in the sexual revolution. "Now it is the male consciousness that is being raised," said Dallas psychologist Michael E. McGill. "The whole way men look at themselves — their work, their social responsibilities and their emotional lives — is undergoing a tremendous readjustment."
A generation ago, the accepted male role emphasized such traits as competitiveness and aggressiveness, while the accepted female role stressed such qualities as gentleness and passivity. In the past, "those polarities were relied on as evidence of psychological health," said Evan Leepson, a behavioral psychologist who practices in New York City. "Today, however, established sex-role definitions are being replaced with more meaningful descriptions of human behavior."
This is reflected in alterations in family life and sexual attitudes that have begun to blur traditional male and female roles. The rapid increase in the number of working women has forced men to redefine their responsibilities both at work and at home. As wives have assumed a greater part of the economic burden of supporting their families, husbands have had to share in more of the domestic tasks of homemaking. At the same time, psychologists say, men have been freed from many of the "functions of dominance" — pressures to conform to society's demands that they act as aggressive bread-winners, always keeping their feelings under wraps.

Start Your Weekend Right With This Almond & Peanut Butter Banana Shake
My son hates bananas. He enjoys peeling them the way monkeys do, but as soon as he's meant to actually start eating, he always calls our dogs to the rescue. They're huge banana fans and, believe it or not.
I can relate to my son, because I'm not fond of bananas either. But since I know that they're incredibly good for you, I've come up with a great workaround:
A simply delicious and wildly nutritious Almond and Peanut Butter Banana Shake which tastes so good that even my son can't get enough of it.
Ingredients (serves two):
- 1 banana, preferably frozen
- 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons of plain peanut butter (i.e. unsweetened, unsalted)
- 1 teaspoon of raw cocoa powder
- Half a teaspoon of cinnamon
Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth and add some ice cubes or crushed ice if you like.
If you like, you can prepare this shake with all kinds of plain nut butters such as walnut, cashew, or almond butter, but personally I like peanuts best.

Urban rehab is a proposal for the design of The Rio Super Hospital. "Super" not only implies that the hospital considers its functions and users, but is also rooted in a set of expanding scales that go beyond the building itself.
The project earned an Honorable Mention in the ISARCH Awards (2013).
Located in a man-made crater, the Favela de Providenca surrounds the top of the site, while the Central do Brasil (the main train station in Rio de Janeiro), the central bus depot and subway stop lie below it. The topography of Rio de Janerio contains many such craters, which we have marked as geological amputations.
The oldest slum in Rio de Janerio, the Favela de Providenca keeps expanding. In this particularly charged site—sitting in a man-made crater, bordered by favellas, and lacking in infrastructure—a hospital can act as an urban plug-in, filling the existing amenities gap to help foster a healthy, sustainable growth on an urban scale.
Though the Favela de Providenca holds an immense physical presence within the city, the authorities do not acknowledge it as a legal settlement. Inhabitants have The community suffers from higher disease and mortality rates due to a lack of waste and water management, sewage, sanitation, electricity, or even a lack of access and public space. We envision 'The Rio Super Hospital' as a plug-in that can fill such infrastructural deficiencies in the area.
Topological studies of the crater.
In this instance, the site is understood as an unrolled elevation rather than an urban ground.
The dramatic height of the crater suggests that gravity is a latent source of energy. Consequently, we began to understand how to the unrolled elevation could allow us to fill the amenity gap.
The hospital incorporates water and waste management systems, and provides access to rehabilitate the immediate urban context. A system of cores collects water from the site, and enters a process of remediation (beginning with sludge removal, followed by anaerobic digestion and bio filtration). After that, its uses vary from irrigation to mechanical services within the building. Also, methane gas, a by-product of the anaerobic digestion phase combined with organic waste (from the hospital and the favelas) generates electricity in a bio-gas facility at the bottom of the cliff, culminating in a closed-loop cycle.

Purpose: To explain the Year 2000 computer problem and demonstrate how to test a computer to see if it is Y2K-compliant.
Situation and audience: For this oral report, pretend you work in an office that is trying to become Y2K compliant the cheap way. Your managers have hired a computer security company to guide you and your fellow employees through the process of testing whether your work computers are Y2K compliant. That will minimize the amount of consulting time that your company must pay for.
First, let's talk about the Y2K problem and get it straight what it is. The Y2K problem exists because many computer systems track years using only the last two digits, assuming that the first two are "19." On JanuaryĀ1, 2000, noncompliant systems will think it is 1900 (or 1980, for Microsoft systems), potentially causing a variety of annoyances such as a stock market crash, loss of utilities, massive looting, nuclear warlittle stuff like that.
Well, now that you are sufficiently frightened about the Millenium Bug, let's move on to discuss what you can do about it on your own. The good news is, if you know how to boot your computer up to the DOS (C:\) prompt, you can test your system for hardware and operating system compliance problems. You can then do a relatively simple 5-step test for hardware and operating system compliance involving your computer's operating system, operating system/basic input-output system (BIOS) combination, BIOS, BIOS/Real Time Clock combination, and combined systems. Be aware that problems involving application software and the Internet are more complexthat's where consultants from my company come in, along with fixing any Y2K-compliance problems you discover in these tests I'm about to describe.
Before we get into the details of testing your machine, let's first talk about how your computer keeps time. One reason you must perform all five tests is that your computer keeps time in several different ways. If you do not test all layers in the system, you can get a false positive resultin other words, you can be falsely reassured your machine is Y2K compliant. On one level, your PC keeps time using a real-time clock (RTC), a battery- powered timepiece that tracks time even when your system is off. When you start your PC, the BIOS (code on your computer's read-only-memory that provides basic instructions for controlling system hardware) retrieves the date and time from your RTC and passes it to the operating system and applications. Your PC's operating system has a software-based system clock that works only when the computer is on: after getting its initial information from the RTC via the BIOS when you start your computer, this clock runs independently. And, Windows does some timekeeping of its own.
Now, let's get right into the instructions on testing your system's hardware and operating system. Don't worryyou don't need to be a registered rocket scientist to perform this procedure, and you don't need any special equipment or supplies, but you might want to keep your owner's manual handy. Also, you don't need to remember everything that comes out of my mouthI'm handing out a written version of these instructions right now.
To get ready, print or copy your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. These are located in the root directory of your C: drive. If your computer loads time-triggered files or other software in, you may want to temporarily rename these files to ensure you do not trigger an event or application.
Okay, step 1! We'll start by testing your system's operating system. Boot up your system to the DOS command prompt (C:\) the way you see me doing it right now. Do not perform any of these steps while in Windows. When you get to a place that looks like this slide, at the C:\ prompt, type date and press Enter. Next, type 12-31-1999 and press Enter. With me so far? Not many people know how to do things in DOS any more! Okay, next type time and press Enter. Then type 23:59:30 and press Enter. Wait about over a minute, then type "date" and press Enter. If the date displayed is JanuaryĀ1,Ā2000, then your operating system is Y2K compliant, and you can go on to step 2. If the date displayed is not January 1, 2000, you've got a Y2K problem, my friend.
Okay, onward to step 2! In this one, we test whether your PC's operating system and BIOS work together. Without changing anything you did in the preceding step, reboot to the DOS prompt. At the C:\ prompt, type date and press Enter. If the date shown is January 1, 2000, then your operating system/BIOS combination is Y2K compliant and you can go on to step 3. If the date is different than what you saw in step 2, you have a Y2K problem in the BIOS or RTC.
Now for step 3testing to see whether the BIOS works alone. To start, reboot and enter your BIOS setup program. To do this, watch the screen at start-up and look for a special key or key combination that you press to enter the setup program. If you can't read it, check your owner's manual. When you've done that, set the BIOS date to December 31, 1999, and the time to 23:59:50, just as I'm showing you here. Don't worryyou're not going to kill your computer! Wait until the BIOS's time display moves past midnight and see if the date and time change properly. If they do, your BIOS is Y2K compliant also, and you can go on to step 4. If the date and time don't change correctly, you too have a Y2K problem.
Now for step 4. In this one, we test the BIOS/RTC combination. While you are still in the BIOS setup program, reset the date to December 31, 1999, and set the time to 23:56:00. After that, reboot to the DOS prompt, and turn off your computer. Wait those four minutes, or more, reboot your computer again, and immediately enter the BIOS setup program, as you did in stepĀ3. If the January 1, 2000, date and time are shown correctly, your BIOS and RTC are Y2K compliant, and you can go on to step 5. If notwell, you know the drill.
Now for our last step, step 5. Here we go full circle back to what we did in step 1 and determine whether these combined systems are "go" on your PC. Without changing anything from step 4, exit the BIOS setup program and reboot to DOS. At the C:\ prompt, type date and press Enter. If the January 1, 2000, date shows correctly, your PC is Y2K compliant and you have completed this procedure. If the date reads differently, call uswe'll fix it!
Well, that's it! Your management is hoping that if you guys take these steps on your own, it will drive down the overall cost for getting your operations Y2K-compliant. And of course if you get hopelessly messed up, just call us or send us e-mail. We'll try walking you through the process or getting you unstuck over the phone. Or we'll just come right out. Good luck everyone!

Chobham Manor, E20 | Taylor Wimpey & L&Q
Chobham Manor in gear for safer cycling
Thursday 30th July
Cyclists are invited to attend a free cycling safety event to promote road safety around construction sites thanks to Chobham Manor, a Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park housing development.
The Chobham Manor Cycling Safety Event, will be held this Friday (31 July) 2-5pm at Western Plaza, Lee Valley Velo Park. It is hoped the day will allow road safety specialists to give local cyclists advice and encourage discussion about best practise between road users.
Chobham Manor is a joint venture between L&Q housing association and Taylor Wimpey. Also present on the day will be the Metropolitan Police, Lee Valley Regional Park Authority and Bikeworks (a cycling focused social enterprise).
Activities will include getting to sit in the driver's seat of a heavy goods vehicle to get a better understanding of what the driver can and can't see; All Ability bikes such as hand cranks, recumbents and a Wattbike (collects real-time data on the rider's fitness and technique); The Met and Bikeworks will also be providing safety information, free bicycle security marking and help planning cycle routes around the capital.
Chobham Manor is the first of the five new neighbourhoods on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It will provide 828 new homes, including town and mews houses, maisonettes and single flats, with 75 per cent designed for families and around a third affordable homes. It will welcome its first residents in 2015.
Belinda Moreau-Jones, Project Lead for Community Regeneration and Partnerships for Chobham Manor, said:
"The event promises to be a fantastic opportunity for cycling enthusiasts and novices alike to get involved and learn about how to be safe on the roads and around local construction sites. We are proud to be working with our development partners to build thriving communities and encourage safer cycling in the city."
Olympic Park buying guide (05/08/2015) - newspaper article
Ahh, now I've got the figures I was curious about.
East Village. 2,818 homes. 50% market rent. 25% shared-ownership/intermediate rent. 25% council.
"Now renamed East Village, it contains 2,818 units of which roughly half are market priced homes (mostly for private rent), a quarter are housing association homes of the intermediate variety of "affordable" - which means shared-ownership or "intermediate rent" properties for middle-income households - and a quarter are for social rent."
An interesting (and recent) article at least:
Affordable Housing - Guardian 08/07/15
Is anybody sick of the noise of reversing vehicles in the plot of land behind the velodrome? This loud noise was heard all weekend. From 8/9 an Saturday, all day and Sunday all day, up until 5 pm. Are the builders allowed to work these hours? It's really disturbing and relentless…
Hi Liz
I've been in contact with council and local councillor but haven't made much progress as Newham seems to be crap
If you (and anyone else) also complained it might help things move
Councillor contact details on Newham website. It's Richard(?) of the three that picked up my complaint
@jools - @richard_crawford is on Yonder and is always up for doing what he can to answer resident queries (although don't expect him to reply as Newham run a fairly old PC operating system and Yonder demands a certain spec).
Also please flag this thread at @ChobhamManor as they want to hear these issues first hand, I highly recommend attending the QEOP residents meetings - Chobham Manor regularly attend and you can feed back directly.
Hi, we apologise for any inconvenience caused to residents during our works carried out on a Sunday recently. We have since ceased external works on Sundays. Once again, we apologise for the disruption.
Hi @Lee, @jools — sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I have been on jury duty. I have received a few complaints about the noise from the construction sight and have got on to Sarah Birt at the planing office of the LLDC and she will be talking to the site manager as the do not have permission to work Sunday's or public holidays their core hours are Monday to Friday 8am/6pm Saturday 8am/1pm. I will also get a phone number for the site manager which I will pass on.
Hope that's ok.
Richard Crawford
@ChobhamManor and @richard_crawford — It's great to see you taking the time to reply directly to the community on here. Thank you @Lee
We want to provide all local residents with a further update on the construction works taking place at our Chobham Manor development in Stratford.
The first residents from Phase 1D will be moving into their new homes on Friday 9th October, while work on Phase 1C is well under way with the reinforced concrete frame now complete and construction work on the houses being carried out.
Two new tower cranes have been erected on site and the groundwork for Phase 1B has also begun.
We are aiming for the Reinforced Concrete Frame in Phase 1B to be half way to completion by Christmas this year, while further piling work to phase 2 is due to start in December 2015 and continue through to February 2016.
Due to the work taking place, there has been a lot of construction traffic moving material from the site, and we want to inform everyone that we are monitoring the situation and working alongside Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Management and LLDC to ensure that this does not have any major impact on local residents.
Following a recent complaint we would like to assure local residents that we are continuing to monitor dust and noise levels that occur as a result of the construction work and that the site team will deal with all issues the moment they become aware.
There will be a period over the Christmas season where no work will be taking place on site, and we will provide a further update on this in due course.
Taylor Wimpey and L&Q
Hi @ChobhamManor, not sure if this is the right outlet for my question, but I've been trying to find official working hours at the construction site in Chobham Manor, and can't seem to find it. Would you be able to say what they are throughout the week? Thanks!
@martina_klancisar, their hours are as per the usual allowed according to Newham Council regs, unless they have a special dispensation though this would usually be a once-off.
8am to 6pm Monday to Friday
8am to 1pm on Saturdays
no work on Sundays or public holidays.
These times were also mentioned by Newham councillor Richard Crawford above.
Ah, thank you! I totally missed this bit of info in previous posts.
Though still always a small crew on site all day Saturday @ChobhamManor so doesn't yet seem very clear!
Yeah, heard a few people on site and heard a saw hours after 1pm. Is there a specific reason for that @ChobhamManor and do the residents get informed about the breach of official working hours?
Hi @ChobhamManor, the external work is still being done on Sundays, as there is a man working with a saw outside one of the buildings. Can this please be investigated?
Unless they're stealing tools! Big problem for lots of building sites. @ChobhamManor should we call the police if we see people on site on Sunday?
If that's not it, I'm still curious about sanctions imposed by LLDC for breaking planning agreement and what they are doing to ensure the agreement is adhered to in future. @richard_crawford did you receive information on this or should I contact LLDC directly?

Graphic design for complex three-dimensional
objects requires both excellent spacial
imagination skills and a very thorough
understanding of both the printing and
finishing processes. To develop
artwork for packaging in the shape of
a rectangular prism requires a complex
understanding of how the flat printed
artwork is die cut and folded into its final
shape. To map a sophisticated graphic design
onto the body of a curvy sports car demands this
same knowledge so the skilled technicians who wrap the
printed decal onto the vehicle surface don't encounter problems halfway through the job. Though quite different, both are subsets of packaging: clothing the object.
Often in the design industry, an agency will hire several specialists for a single task: a visual intelligence to create the design and a technical intelligence to "fix" it for production. While specialization can streamline certain processes, it can be wasteful in terms of time and money, especially if one person is merely fixing another's work. Many excellent designers have no technical knowledge or practical experience and their clients don't find out until too late that the project has to be repaired by the printing service or production company. I know this because I was the guy who had to fix other designer's work for the press. I am the creative source and a technical expert.
It may be easier than you think to find someone with well-developed skills in both critical capacities of creation and production. Perhaps only a phone call away...or you can click here to send a message.
WOW. How blatant was that? Yeah, you should call me just because I'm very good and my prices are also good, but that doesn't mean I should drop such obvious hints. Okay, if you're in this section you're either browsing out of curiosity or you're actually looking for a packaging designer. I'm aware that this section is rather slim in examples but I can assure you that I'm very knowledgeable about the mechanics of three-dimensional composition. Besides extensive experience with 3D drawing, ACAD and even working with origami and polyhedrons, the balance of my related experience is with special print finishing procedures like die-cutting, scoring and folding. So, I've got all the familiarity but not alot of requests for packaging. websites, brochures or web banner ads.
I constructed and shaped this comp in Photoshop rather quickly with a vector-based disc packaging template that PrintRunner uses in production. The other elements are a couple of stock photos and some quick lettering. No more than a few hours of work here.
Vehicle decal design for Ted Tietge, CEO of Anderson Direct and also a professional racing driver. The effect was to make it look like the Porsche had run into the company's logo and splattered it all over. A series of airbrushed concept illustrations were also produced to demonstrate the artwork to the client.
Porsche Decal | Brochure | All Anderson Direct Projects
Standard two-pocket folder with business card slits, created to hold course flyers and brochures for online driver safety training as well as business information. All original artwork and design based on the new I Drive Safely logo. I developed the brochure and trade show booth at the same time and both items share common design elements.
IDS Packet | IDS Booth | All I Drive Safely Projects
Videocassette packaging design for Rey Mysterio, a professional wrestler. The client arrived with the idea roughed out on paper and the photographs as Targa files on disk, greatly reducing their turnaround time. I suggested the metallic gold border as a fifth color, and produced the document mechanical and film. I still have a few finished samples available.

Innogen · Research · Current projects
The Production and Commodification of Knowledge in Synthetic Biology
Affiliated staff: Peter Robbins
Funding: ESRC Innogen Centre
Started: January 1 2002
Synthetic biology is an emerging field which involves constructing biological organisms from 'scratch'. For this reason, it raises many social, regulatory, ethical and epistemic concerns.
Synthetic biology covers a broad and disparate set of research activities, including the construction of interchangeable biological parts and devices (often called 'BioBricks'), work at the level of whole genomes (including the synthesis of viral genomes, and the reduction of existing bacterial genomes), and the attempt to create 'protocells' from simple components (see O'Malley et al. 2008).
An important aspect of synthetic biology is that it involves the application of engineering principles to biological systems.
This brings to the fore the different epistemic value schemes of biologists and engineers, and raises interesting issues about the extent to which biological systems can be treated as if they are comprised of discrete modular components (which coincidentally fit well with appropriation regimes, including open source).
Aims and objectives
This project aims to answer the following research questions:
- What is the relationship between systems and synthetic biology (should we think of this relationship in terms of 'science' and 'technology')?
- What is the role of engineering in synthetic biology? Do engineers and biologists have different aspirations and approaches? Do they treat biological complexity differently?
- What is the relationship between the economic/regulatory and the epistemic in synthetic biology (e.g. open source and modularity)?
- Will synthetic biology challenge our current conceptions of what is 'natural'?
- Could we see 'life' being (re)shaped so it fits better with manufacturing practices and property regimes?
Research methods
Membership of a UK synthetic biology network, interviews with leading systems biologists, attendance at conferences and workshops.

The Beach Chocolate Factory
Your Lead Paragrpah goes here
One morning, five chocoholics headed to the Beach Chocolate Factory at the Village Community Center in Brasilito with dreams of digging their hands into freshly made chocolate. Thanks to owner and chocolatier Henrik Bodholdt, dreams do come true.
Henrik, a chocolatier with 10 years experience, welcomed us to a table on the lawn outside his store where our hands-on chocolate workshop began. Quickly it became clear that while we all LOVE chocolate, none of us really knew much about chocolate. Through an interactive presentation, we learned the origin, history, nature and culture of cacao and chocolate. Yes kids, chocolate really does grow on trees. Bodholdt's passion for his craft is evident through his engaging explanations.
We broke into eager smiles when the hands-on portion of the workshop began and the guest star …drum roll, please…a ripe cacao pod made its appearance. It looked like yellow squash but inside it was filled with cacao beans encased in a sticky white pulp. The pulp was surprisingly sweet, although the nut known as a nib was slightly bitter. Next, we helped ourselves to a handful of roasted cacao beans and were instructed to peel the papery shell off by hand. Each of us took a turn grinding the beans using a silver hand grinder clamped to the table. As the brown paste filled the bowl, the air was filled with an intoxicating aroma of raw chocolate.
After choosing from various fresh ingredients like shredded coconut, almonds, unrefined sugar cane and chili pepper flakes, Henrik encouraged us to put our hands in the paste. Laughter and squeals went around the table as we began to squeeze and knead chocolate through our fingers, rolling it into balls with our hands. A memory of finger painting in kindergarten came to mind. Someone mentioned the episode of I Love Lucy when Lucy could not keep up with the conveyer belt at the chocolate factory. Sitting outside under a clear sky with a slight breeze, nibbling on chocolate handcrafted by oneself is at the top of the list of every chocoholic's pura vida activities.
Before bidding our wonderful host adios, we stopped in the store to browse and buy chocolate all handmade onsite by Henrik and staff. There was a nice assortment to choose from, something for everyone. Like the Upala bar, made with 85% cacao for dark chocolate lovers or, the Cañas bar, made with 40% white chocolate and cacao nibs. One shopper was hugging a jar of Cacao Skin Care. All natural made from 90% cacao, 5% organic oatmeal and 5% organic olive oil. "Add a little sugar to the mix and the mask becomes a scrub" Henrik said. Or breakfast, I thought.
Back in the car, we drove toward the beach with bags of softening chocolate in hand and hearts filled with an even deeper love of chocolate. Tonight, we will have sweet dreams.

Givenchy's Dahlia Noir Le Bal Limited Edition is available in both the Eau de Parfum form as well as Eau de Toilette. The scent is available exclusively to Harrods as of this month from £69.50.
The Dahlia Noir is beautiful mysterious flower imagined by Givenchy Art Director Riccardo Tisci. The fragrance is centred around the heart notes of rose petal that retain a powderiness for the Eau de Parfum, and become lighter within the fresh notes of the Eau de Toilette.
The Limited Edition Givenchy Dahlia Noir Le Bal is inspired by the atmosphere of a couture ball, a classical hub of decadent sophistication and elegance. The box opens just as a flower might.
The sultry feminine colours combined with the pleats within the box are intended to bring to mind the heavy folds of a couture dress. The elaborate yet uniform is also evocative of an aristocratic ballroom floor. One spray and you are transported to the twirling of dresses and dance music the grandest, most romantic ball you can imagine.
The original campaign for Givenchy Dahlia Noir Le Bal featured Italian model Mariacarla Boscono enrobed in black floating solk and ribbons, her hair and eyes dark against the stark white backdrop behind her. Despite the blank setting, Boscono radiated classic the femininity and decadence that have been brought to the fore in the new Limited Edition version of the fragrance.
A trip to Harrods is all you'll need this November to experience the fragrance for yourself. And if you have a few balls tripping around in your social calendar this season, or simply wish to be transported subliminally to one as you cosy up on your sofa, this is the sumptuous fragrance for you. Who needs a Fairy Godmother? Givenchy will take us to Le Bal.

Rather than build all five boards I've emulated the missing boards by using a Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA on a board manufactured by Digilent. One of the problems with this is that the expansion interface for the Digilent board only provides 40 I/Os, which is insufficient to test either the Instruction Decoder or Arithmetic Logic Unit boards individually. It's also gross overkill for the job -- I'm using 3% of the on-chip resources and only the power and clock resources on the board.
One of the alternatives I investigated in September 2012 was an FPGA chip from Lattice Semiconductor called the ICE40-HX. This is a modest, very low power FPGA family intended for use in cell phones and other small devices. The reference boards are available for less than $25 (versus $300 for the Xilinx board) and they're easy to interface. It looks like the i4004 design would occupy about 40% of the HX1K part on the reference board, though the VQFP-100 package has only 74 I/O pins which is not as many as I need. The HX4K part is available in a TQFP-144 with 107-ish I/Os and four times the resources for new and creative purposes. I'd love to drop an HX8K part on it, but I'm not yet ready to deal with BGAs even if they're 0.80mm spacing.
Originally I expected the I/O and Timing board to be mostly empty space, and I considered putting this FPGA on it. After moving the Chip Select logic from the ALU board (where it didn't belong) fitting it onto the I/O and Timing board would be tight. It would also disturb the discrete component nature of this project by slapping a set of LSI chips in QFPs on it. It would also prevent the use of the FPGA to generate the signals that the discrete logic on the board generates. So I think I'm looking at a sixth board.
Here's what I'm thinking of putting on this board:
- An ICE40-HX4K FPGA (TQFP-144) connected to all i4004 inter-board and external I/O signals.
- A 93LCxx SPI Flash ROM (SOIC-8) to load the FPGA on power-up.
- An FT2232H USB-2 serial interface chip (LQFP-64) for programming the FPGA bit-file and serial communications with the FPGA.
- An LT3030 voltage regulator to provide 3.3V and 1.2V power to the FPGA from the +5V (or higher) i4004 supply.
- A crystal oscillator to provide clocking to the FPGA logic.
- An LM5111 dual MOSFET driver chip (SOIC-8) to drive CLK1 and CLK2 from the FPGA.
- Level-shifting FETs (probably FDV301s) for all I/Os.
- A 20-pin (2x10) ribbon cable connector for interface with my logic analyzer pod.
What might I do with the FGPA?
- Emulate portions of the i4004 to allow testing of individual boards rather than requiring board sets.
- Control the data sampling clock and triggering of the logic analyzer to capture complex events, such as the execution of a specific instruction.
- Emulate the i4001 ROM, i4002 RAM, and i4003 Shift Register chips in a complete system such as the Busicom calculator.
- Emulate the Busicom calculator keyboard and printer interface through the USB serial interface.

Kenya Court Delays Ruling On Gay Sex Till May
Supporters and opponents of gay rights said on Friday they accepted a decision by Kenya's high court to delay for another three months a ruling on whether to strike down a colonial-era law banning gay sex.
The ruling, potentially a landmark decision for gay rights in Africa, was due to be issued on Friday, but the court said it needed until late May to reach a decision.
Judge Chacha Mwita told a packed court in the capital, Nairobi, that the extra time was necessary because of the voluminous paperwork submitted in the case.
Same-sex relationships are illegal in more than 70 countries, almost half of them in Africa.

Gunmen Attack Anadarko Convoy In Northern Mozambique
Gunmen in Northern Mozambique have attacked a convoy of vehicles belonging to an American oil and gas company, Anadarko – the first such attack in an area where an Islamist militant group is active.
Anadarko is expected to spend more than $20 billion dollars on the gas project close to the Tanzania border.
At least four persons from the firm were injured when more than a dozen unidentified gunmen ambushed the convoy in Cabo Delgado province.
A jihadist group, Al-Shabab, with no known links to the Somali jihadist group of the same name, has carried out frequent attacks on isolated villages since 2017.
Correspondents say if the same group was behind this attack, it could mark a significant shift in its tactics and threaten Mozambique's fledgling gas industry.

In the late 1990s I got a job with a major corporation as part of their new Internet division. They hired me to handle search engine optimization, never mind that nobody at the time knew what defined SEO, especially me. The Internet was this shiny new amazing thing that people valued well into the billions of dollars, though the higher-ups in the parent company came from an older industry. They didn't understand the Internet, so naturally they didn't like us. However, they needed us to stay with the times.
As the company's lone SEO person, my job was to make sure people found our websites on such dynamic and integral search engines like Hotbot, Lycos, LookSmart, Webcrawler, Ask Jeeves, and AltaVista. They sound like discounted models of cars. Basically my job amounted to registering URL after URL into these engines and hoping to Ged their crawlers favored us. I oversaw optimization of websites geared toward two dozen-plus markets – where the parent company had various interests.
We were all over the map. Our company within a company set up each site to act as a portal for that geographic market,: news, classifieds, entertainment. Also, people could sign up for free email, chat online, and set up mini-pages for their communities and organizations. As I think about it now, our company was trying to achieve the social network on a regional scale – little Facebooks for various metropolitan areas. It might have worked, but it didn't.
Three reasons: 1) They, like everybody else in the pre-dot bomb era, probably threw too much money at everything. Search engines were sold for billions and probably weren't worth it at the time. 2) We were doing too much too soon. At a company retreat, a speaker came to talk to us about focus, and how we might excel doing one thing well instead of several things at once and having it all flop. She cited a major retailers as an example: As a store focusing on a specific product, they crushed the competition. When they divested and opened a chain of stores selling something else, they lost their focus.
When the lady left, we might have snickered and swore to prove her wrong, that we could be everything to everybody. Then reason 3) 9/11. It wasn't a direct cause, but it didn't help. Over the next several months, the parent company gradually shrank our division until pulling everything back into the main company. All the surplus people, including me, were laid off.
It was sad. I had hoped to stay with that company through to retirement. Sometimes I wonder what we'd be doing now. It would have been nice to tell new hires what it was liking working there before Google existed.
What does this have to do with anything? The lesson today is FOCUS. I'm not doing it. As a writer I should write, though I have to make time to promote myself. Over the last ten years people have told me to do X, Y, and Z to be seen. You need Twitter, you need a Facebook page, you need a Pinterest board linking to everything that inspired your book. You need a YouTube book trailer. And guess what: all this promo is FREE!
Well, it is and it isn't. I don't have to pay to use Twitter or Pinterest, but it comes at the expense of my time. You know what Pinterest is like, too. While you're looking for a picture of the Chinese restaurant that inspired a scene in your book you instead find multiple boards dedicated to Benedict Cumberbatch holding a puppy. Then it's next week and you haven't written anything.
Therefore, I plan to focus. One network for promotion, and it will be this blog. I'm taking down my Facebook page – nobody sees what I post there anyway, because FB wants to monetize pages so you have to pay for eyeballs. I don't have it in my budget right now, and not everything I post there is worth the ransom. I'm not saying all Facebook pages are worthless, but if you don't have a strong following you basically shout in the wind.
I will keep G+ and Twitter active, though if you see anything there it will be the links to this blog that automatically feed into them. Everything else goes into a document for a book.
Wish me luck.

The state revealed a secret weapon in its lawsuit against Oracle Cor p.: an unnamed former Oracle employee with first-hand knowledge of what went down at Cover Oregon.
Actually, it's not clear if it's one whistleblower or several, but either way, they have a few pointed things to say about Oracle's work on the troubled website. For its part, Oracle has said the state's account was "fictional" and that the truth would prevail both in this lawsuit and the one it filed in federal court two weeks ago.

New York-based consulting and sales outfit Cinetic Media is launching Cinetic International, a new unit which will offer clients a range of services including foreign sales, consulting, financing and packaging capabilities.
International sales veteran Shebnem Askin-Schreger, formerly president of 2929 International, will run the new division starting May 1.
"Territorial sales are part of our core finance business and an adjunct to our North American sales business," said Cinetic partners John Sloss and Bart Walker along with senior finance executive Matt Littin in a prepared statement. "Shebnem's arrival provides us with an opportunity to grow this at the highest level and offer film-makers and financiers an expanding menu of possibilities."
Askin-Schreger began her career in 1989 at Film Pop, an Istanbul-based arthouse distributor where she acquired and distributed films including The Piano and Pulp Fiction. Moving to Los Angeles, she worked as vice president of international sales and co-productions for Trimark Pictures and in 1999 joined Pandora Cinema, relocating the company from Paris to Los Angeles and, as evp, worldwide sales, for Pandora/Gaylord Films, handling films including A Walk To Remember, White Oleander and Welcome To Collinwood.
Moving to 2929 International, the worldwide sales division of Todd Wagner and Mark Cuban's 2929 Entertainment, she handled Good Night And Good Luck, Bubble and The Girlfriend Experience as well as We Own The Night, Two Lovers and John Hillcoat's upcoming The Road.
Cinetic has previously specialized in domestic sales, famously on films like Sundance 2009 winner Push (now called Precious), The Diving Bell And The Butterfly and We Own The Night. The company has also closed worldwide deals on films like Little Miss Sunshine and Napoleon Dynamite, and raised finance for titles such as I'm Not There, The Fog Of War, The Limits Of Control, the next Julian Schnabel film Miral and the next Sofia Coppola film Somewhere.
Littin has spearheaded the company's international financing activities to date.
Cinetic also incorporates Cinetic Rights Management, founded in 2007 to provide sales representation for digital media, and Cinetic Management, founded in 2007 on the arrival of Bart Walker to represent actors, writers and directors.

SWx has the ability to produce Potable Water from input Sea, Bore hole, Well hole, River and Lake waters.
SWx technology utilises an electro chemical process which desalinates and purifies seawater and is based on the principal of electro separation enforced by the anode and cathode electrodes immersed in the seawater. The use of electricity in purifying liquids, natural and waste waters with different ionic species has proven to be one of the most environmentally friendly processes. Almost all components of treated waste waters are economically separated and reclaimed for further use.
SWx is commercially scalable through a modular approach, processing water from 500m3/day unto 100,000m3/day. This modular approach provides inherent scalability and simplicity, including easy maintenance. It can be manufactured and implemented rapidly in a full production environment and has low running costs through low energy, negligible chemical input requirement and self cleaning to stop inherent Calcium precipitation or biological fouling and clogging.
Process Overview
Initially incoming seawater has to be filtered. The seawater then passes through a series of SWx Conditioning Cells where all biological and organic matter is neutralized and microbiological bacteria are reduced or eliminated.
The conditioned seawater then passes into the SWx Separation Cells where the total seawater dissolved solids (TDS) are reduced to potable water at the required standard.
If required the potable water can be treated through an in-system chlorination process and stored for human use.
The pH levels in the returning waste seawater is managed by the SWx system. By setting the pH to the appropriate levels it will be possible to reduce the damaging environmental effect of atmospheric CO2 acidification on the sea and at the same time enhance the area's marine life form.
The SWx configuration has been designed to allow continued operation and easy & rapid maintenance. In the unlikely event of a problem with one of the cells, it can be simply taken off line for repair or maintenance leaving the rest of the system to operate efficiently and effectively.
