I was just bringing a bunch of my samples over to Caustic's sample folder (it's nice to have the option to run on my PC since my tablet's latency is not so great plus having it on a big screen is pretty awesome, virtually unlimited sample storage)... anyway, I came to my drum loops section and realized something... Caustic has a really great list of generators, a loop slicer is probably the only thing it's missing.
So dev if you're ever looking for ideas for your next generator creation, you might consider a slicer. BTW nice touch with adding in the whole merge rack to PCM thing I can't wait to try it out, since I remember I used to like to run padsynth through the modular a lot, will save rack space.
- Slice by ear: make your selection and save every slice with 'save selection'.
- You can also snap the selectors so you can chop on whole beats and bars and save every slice with 'save selection'.
You can also import the loop that you want to slice in the pcm synth, load that same loop on multiple keys. Then, set the start and end points for every key (slice) by long pressing 'start'. Set polyphony to 1 so the slices choke eachother..
Yeah, that's how I do it with the save selection, but it would be nice if you could just set up slice points and it automatically spreads if over the pcm in one hit, but hey, it's not that bad now!
Man.. I love this app..
I have a iPad Pro and I just bought Caustic not too long ago and I like it a lot. Definitely lagging way behind compare to others DAW. Definitely needs some improvements. Only 14 Tracks maximum come on now what's up with that. If I would of known that then I wouldn't of bought it. How about unlimited amounts of tracks or at least more tracks to work with or how about merging tracks together so you can add more tracks to work with and more affects for each synths. If it had all these features I just mention and plus even some more features I would spend more money on this app.
My request is pattern to loop converter, that can filter the pich of a loop just like Rubber Band editor, and one extra filter that has high pass, low pass bend pass, so I can resample everything quicker if get stuck with my track.
How about a pinch and modulation will for the on-screen keyboard.
One annoying thing about this app is getting to your presets. You have your synthesizer on screenI let say it's the sawtooth, on the top left you have your presets options you tap it to open it up one would assume that all your presets for the sawtooth would be there but there not Instead you have five folders and the folders are Inbox Presets Samples Skins and Songs, To get to your presets you have to open up the presets folder, again one would assume that the sawtooth presets will be there but they're not, you come to another screen that has 11 difference synth folders then you have to find the sawtooth folder then open it up then Bang your presets are in there. What the heck is going on here too many pressing of options to get to your presets, that's ridiculous.
@rayg1952 on my Air 1 with latest iOS (and since I've been using iOS Caustic) tapping any synths preset window goes directly to the appropriate folder. Curious you're not seeing this. I cannot make this happen.

Tony Stewart acquires national sprint car series tour
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tony Stewart won't be back in a sprint car, by his own estimation, for "a very, very long time."
But the three-time NASCAR champion can't bear to be away from the grass-roots level of racing, and he has added another piece to his growing portfolio by acquiring the All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series — one of the oldest, traveling sprint car organizations in the country.
"My passion for sprint car racing is well known, and the All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series has been a pillar of the sport for a long time," Stewart said Wednesday. "Racing is my business, and I look forward to building on the All Star Series' already impressive legacy by taking it to a new level of success and sustainability."
Stewart's latest acquisition is the first racing series he owns outright. Stewart also owns Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, and fields two World of Outlaws cars out of Tony Stewart Racing. He also is co-owner of NASCAR's four-team Stewart-Haas Racing, which won the Sprint Cup title last season with Kevin Harvick.
His passion for sprint car racing has caused tremendous heartache over the last two years. Stewart broke his leg in a 2013 sprint car accident in Iowa that has had lingering repercussions on his career. He missed the final 15 races of the NASCAR season, has had four surgeries on his right leg and faces a fifth to remove a titanium rod at the end of this year.
He returned to a sprint car roughly 11 months after the accident and won in his first outing. But just days after the one-year anniversary of his accident, he was involved in an incident at an upstate New York dirt track in which his car struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. as the driver walked on the track.
Stewart has said he doesn't know if he'll ever race a sprint car again, and he reiterated it Tuesday when asked several times if he'll return to his first love.
"I think it's going to be a long, long time before you see me back in one," Stewart said.
But he's slowly returned to the sprint car scene. He spent a week in Arizona with his TSR team and played crew chief in one of Steve Kinser's victories. Then he went to Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the Chili Bowl, and spent a week working on the track preparation crew.
"Obviously, the last few years of my life, I wouldn't mind forgetting," Stewart said. "But this is something that allows me to be involved with sprint car racing. This allows me to be around it, and that is a product of doing something with these guys and it fills a void."
Now he's acquired the winged sprint car series from Guy Webb, who said he had "great peace of mind to hand over the reins" to Stewart.
"Tony is dirt track racing's biggest advocate, and he's always working in the best interest of sprint car racing. His leadership will ensure the success of this series for many years to come," Webb said.
Stewart reached a separate agreement with Rob Hunter and Shane Helms, principals of the Renegade Sprint Series, for both series to merge under the All Star Circuit of Champions banner in 2015.
The merger ends a feud between the two series, which had been jockeying for territory.
The new 2015 UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions schedule will include 50 race dates. The national point fund will be more than $100,000.
The season will begin next month at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Florida, then move to Volusia Speedway Park near Barberville, Florida, the next weekend in events that will not count for points because they fall during the ownership transition.
The first point race toward the national point fund will be March 28 at Atomic Speedway near Chillicothe, Ohio. The season championship will be held in Rossburg, Ohio, at Eldora Speedway, one of Stewart's properties.
The series will also race on June 11 at Canandaigua Motorsports Park, the New York dirt track where Ward was killed. Stewart is not planning to participate as a driver in his new series, at least not any time soon.

It's hard to imagine that there's anyone out there who is really excited to see the next movie from director M. Night Shyamalan. As many were quick to point out after the critical failure of The Last Airbender, each of the films that he has directed since have gotten worse and worse reviews, hitting their lowest point with last year's summer film. His next project, 1000 AE, was first announced late last year and has both Will and Jaden Smith slated to star. But what about the female side of the equation? He's taking care of that now, according to THR.
Zoe Kravitz and Sophie Okonedo are now in talks for roles in Shyamalan's upcoming science-fiction adventure film. The script, which was recently tinkered with by Oscar winner Stephen Gaghan after drafts by Gary Whitta and Shyamalan himself, is set 1,000 years after humans have been forced to vacate Earth (as the title implies). Will Smith will play a warrior with a disappointing son - played by Jaden Smith - but when the two of them crash land on Earth it's up to the son to save the father. Should the end up making a deal and accepting their roles, both Kravitz and Okonedo will be a part of the family as well, the former playing the sister/daughter and the latter playing the mom/wife. Production is scheduled to begin at the beginning of next year and the studio, Columbia Pictures, is looking at a June 2013 release date.
As horrible as Will Smith's nepotism has been as of late, at least he's letting this one go. I do have to wonder, though, just how hard he fought to get Jada Pinkett and Willow the parts mentioned above.

Argil Adorn
Varshini C. came to us with an idea in her mind and a special skill in her hands — crafting terracotta jewellery. She wanted to reach out to people who would be interested in her work and we took it upon ourselves to give her idea the most suitable platform.
A simple and elegant website was laid out that is not only functional but also cost-effective. She now sells her jewellery on argiladorn.com which is designed to be a secure website to carry out online transactions. To bring value to her business, we knew that just an e-commerce website would not be enough.
It was our suggestion to set up gallery within the website that illustrates the process of making terracotta jewellery through a series of attractive photographs.
We also recommended her to maintain a blog that intends to talk more about terracotta practice and its craftsmanship to get the attention of art enthusiasts.
Varshini's unique work has made her more independent, and we wanted the website to do the same. She now manages her business and website all by herself in the comforts of her home. She finds it quick and easy to update her online store with photographs of new designs and sells them with no hassle.
We know the technology, and we have made it accessible to add value to Varshini's venture.

Little Orkids
A little school in Banaswadi, Little Orkids, that has been running for over 10 years, had a complete makeover last year. A colourful, bright logo was designed that resonated with the energy of little Orkids. Our developer took the same energy forward and created a themed website out of it that captured everything that the school stood for.
As you scroll through and see photographs of children, staff and also obtain every information that you need to know about the school – curriculum, extracurricular activities and introduction to teachers. Website neatly concludes by giving testimonials from parents and contact information of the school.
With this project, we took one step forward. We did not stop with a WordPress website, instead continued to designed collaterals like their fee card and certificates. A photo shoot was conducted to brighten up the website. We created a gallery tab that could treasure such moments.
We are taking up projects that will extend our scope of work. Digital marketing, rebranding, design, web development are all our areas we love to explore.

Radio Indigo
Radio Indigo is popular a radio station, especially among the urban youth of Bangalore as they play some great English music. Their requirement was simple — interactive, pop themed website and an app that reflected their energy and brand. Developers here at Nissim began their work by starting off with planning for development and DevOps of both websites and app.
The website has a collection of blog entries, news articles on trending topics of the pop culture that people can quickly consume.
We added a live radio feature – that lets you listen to radio Indigo online. Plug-ins were introduced that allowed you to stream music of a genre of your choice.
The app replicated the look and feel of the website. It had all of the features of websites and we build it right from coding, through testing, and to its maintenance.
Our experts provided complete technical consultation that not only met their requirements, instead, we brought more to the table that made the product more meaningful.With the latest technical knowledge and creativity, we were able to bring forth a website that is fresh and relevant.
We provide a full-fledged package of any kind of service that you need to hop on to the digital marketing boat.

Toggr World
Magnasoft, our client, offers Toggr, a safety watch that keeps children safe, and parents worry-free.
They required a simple brochureware website, designed and developed, initially. Down the line. Magnasoft decided to sell watches online. We then made a neat e-commerce website. It was loaded with functional features that generate invoice slips, offers multiple payment options and also has mail integration chip.
However, Amazon took over its sale, and Magnasoft had to lose its e-commerce website. We then provided them with a newly designed brochureware website along with several other features. It now automatically detects the device from which it is being accessed from and adjusts itself accordingly. Speed is therefore optimised to give the user an unmatched experience. The website opens up with a live support chat to help customers ask questions and resolve them immediately.
We accommodate changing deliverables and provide the absolute best with the resources you have. The websites we make are not close sourced and therefore, you have a choice to take what we have made for you on a different platform. We understand that requirements change, we are ready to accommodate and deliver the best.

Wonder La
Wonderla came up with a contest during Dasara for its customers – 10 moods, 10 selfies, 10 heads. They wanted people to participate and get free passes by taking 10 different selfies with different expressions like Ravana and share them across Facebook, WhatsApp and other such platforms. The idea was to make it go viral.
We set up a 'web app' that takes 10 selfies, back to back with a countdown and all this with a sound of a click. It then arranges all the 10 photographs just like Ravana's heads which can be saved and shared.
The job of putting up a not-so-complex website with complex development and operations is something we specialise in. The backhand work included server set up and intricate coding for development.
Design is another area we are plunging into. For this project, colours of the theme were yellow and red to bring out the festive feel of the website along with illustrations that typically represent the festival of Dasara.
This project, new possibilities have unravelled in front of us. Our room has no roof, so walk in our doors with your idea, and we shall guide the way and take care of the rest.

with honey and Earth Balance butter.
Workout: 1 hour of yoga with Shiva Rea Yoga Shakti DVD. I feel like I go on vacation when I do this video because of the awesome beach scene in the background. It's a great workout too. I usually feel pretty "blissed out" after doing this one.
7:30 AM Breakfast: "Chocolate Ice Cream Smoothie"
so I use this rockin' mega mug.
Guess who else is hooked on "Chocolate Ice Cream Smoothies"
to take and drink when she's at the sitter.
and a "shot" of orange juice to drink.
This stew is also great with organic corn tortilla chips...yum!
Perhaps it's the frugal side of me that likes to use every bit of the leftovers up, but sometimes if I have a portion that is not big enough to be used as a lunch, but too big that I feel bad about throwing away, I'll use it instead as an afternoon snack. A benefit of this is that I feel like these "mini-meal leftovers" help keep me full for much longer than my usual afternoon snacks of crackers, a piece of fruit, and another Larabar. On top of that who doesn't like spaghetti at 3:00 in the afternoon? Okay, only me I guess. ( : Anyone else use leftovers like this?
After work I headed home and this is who greeted me at the door...doing the splits. She's one flexible girl.
Just doing a little stretching as I wait for mom to come home.
"Is that my mom? I know her! I know her!"
wagon ride in the driveway.
And surprise, someone did not want to sit down in the wagon.
After our fun was done, we headed inside for a green chocolate smoothie...one of my favorite ways to get veggies.
Avery enjoyed her second smoothie of the day.
in the kitchen...her choice, not mine!
So there you have it, my food and my veggies...oh and a little Avery too. We'll see you next week.

The French conquest of Tunisia occurred in two phases in 1881: the first (28 April – 12 May) consisting of the invasion and securing of the country before the signing of a treaty of protection, and the second (10 June – 28 October) consisting of the suppression of a rebellion. The French protectorate of Tunisia that was established lasted until the independence of Tunisia on 20 March 1956.

Context

Early contacts
Tunisia had been a province of the Ottoman Empire since the Conquest of Tunis (1574), although with great autonomy under the authority of a Bey.  In 1770, Brigadier Rafélis de Broves bombarded the cities of Bizerte, Porto Farina and Monastir in retaliation for acts of piracy.  In the 19th century Tunisian commercial contacts with Europe were numerous, and there was a population of French, Italian and British expatriates in the country, that
represented by Consulates.  France had also made a major loan to Tunisia in the mid-19th century.  The Tunisian government was weak, with an inefficient tax system that only brought it one-fifth of the tax collected. The economy was crippled with a series of droughts and the elimination of corsairs by Western fleets. Lastly, Tunisians had little control on foreign trade as ancient 16th century agreements with European powers limited custom taxes to 3%. As a result, its small industry was devastated by imports, especially in the area of textiles.

Colonial competition
Following the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71, France's international prestige was severely damaged, and both Italy and the United Kingdom attempted to reinforce their influence in Tunisia. The Italian representative failed through clumsiness, but the British representative Richard Wood was more successful. In order to limit French influence, Wood obtained the reinstatement of Tunisia as a province of the Ottoman Empire in 1871, although the region's autonomy was also guaranteed. Great Britain continued to try to exert influence through commercial ventures, but these were not successful.  There were also various Tunisian land ownership disputes among France, Britain and Italy.

The French wished to take control of Tunisia, which neighboured their existing colony of Algeria, and to suppress Italian and British influence there. At the Congress of Berlin in 1878, a diplomatic arrangement was made for France to take over Tunisia while Great Britain obtained control of Cyprus from the Ottomans. Subsequently, the use of Tunisian territory as a sanctuary by rebel Khroumir bands gave a pretext for the military intervention.

Occupation

On 28 April 1881, 28,000 men under General Forgemol de Bostquénard entered Tunisia. On 1 May, the city of Bizerte surrendered to the 8,000 men of , who then continued to Tunis.

Bréart entered Tunis between May 3 and May 6, 1881.  He had in his possession the Bardo Treaty establishing a protectorate on Tunisia, which had just been cabled to him by the French government. On May 11, Bréart, the general consul Théodore Roustan, and General Pierre Léon Mauraud, accompanied by an armed escort, presented the treaty to Muhammad III as-Sadiq (Sadok Bey), Bey of Tunis between 1859 and 1881, who resided in Ksar Saïd. Surprised, Sadok Bey requested several hours for reflection, and immediately gathered his cabinet. Some of its members insisted that the bey should escape towards Kairouan to organize resistance, but Sadok Bey decided to accept the protectorate. The Bardo Treaty was signed by both parties on 12 May 1881.

An insurrection soon broke out in the south on 10 June 1881, and then in Sfax. Six ironclads were dispatched from Toulon (Colbert, Friedland, Marengo, Trident, Revanche, Surveillante) to join the French Navy ships in Tunisian waters.  In Sfax, three ironclads from the Division of the Levant were already present (Alma, Reine Blanche, La Galissonnière), together with four cannon boats.  Sfax was bombarded, and on 16 July the city was invested after hard fighting, with 7 dead and 32 wounded for the French.  At Kairouan 32,000 men, 6,000 horses and 20,000 tons of supplies and material were landed.  Kairouan was taken without a fight on 28 October 1881.

Consequences
Great Britain and Germany silently approved the invasion of the country, while Italy protested in vain.

Tunisia thus became a French protectorate, with great powers for the French, the French Resident being simultaneously Prime Minister, controller of the State's finances, and Commander in Chief of its armed forces. In 1882, Paul Cambon energetically took advantage of his position as Resident, leaving the Bey essentially powerless, and in effect administering Tunisia as another French colony.  The French established an important naval base at Bizerte in 1898.

Italy would respond with the 1911–12 Italo-Turkish War leading to the Italian occupation of Libya.

This week I seem to have gone for bright colors and strong lines! Enjoy!
Although I'm trying to keep this blog focused narrowly on art and process, it is the time of year that I am prone to do soul-searching, and paying attention to what is going on in this country and the world, some things that people have said to encourage me have floated to the surface as relevant both to the polemical political situation we find ourselves in and to the process of emerging artistically.
The other day I was feeling very discouraged about the validity of the work that I do. After months of searching for a creative and fulfilling job that pays the bills without luck, I was beginning to wonder how I could do any job, creative or not.
How could I transmit all of my skills and talents through the sieve of resumés and cover letters to reach the ear of some person willing to risk meeting me for a half-hour? On paper I didn't look so good to myself. And I know how many companies– big and small– are using computerized algorithms to search for mysterious keywords that one needs ESP to divine.
Eventually I realized that the crux of the matter was that I didn't feel like any of my multiple talents would be valued.
It made me realize that I was trying to tell my own life to by comparing myself to the perceived values of those robotic algorithms and it made me fall short, even in my own eyes. Instead of seeing that while attending two prominent universities I was working full-time and still able to participate in the art community, and in gallery shows, I saw a non-traditional education and a dead-end job. Instead of seeing that I am brave and talented enough to live and teach for four years in Spain, I saw that those years were in a different field than the one I want to continue in now, and so they were lost.
It is the same mistake that many of us make, and the same mistake that we are making as a country.
We are letting our new abilities to harness technology make us forget that each person has a story. We are letting the big corporations create the premise of our nation's story. Their premise is that because a penny saved is a penny earned, we need to keep cutting costs by any means necessary. Their premise is that because they make more money they are worth more than you or me.
H was talking about the attitude towards food in France v. in the USA. He got it from a book by Clotaire Rapaille, who is a French psychologist and market-researcher. According to this book, Americans view food as fuel, so more food is better because it fills us up. In France, food is viewed as a central social and cultural focus of the day. It is viewed as art, and valued for its place in culture. Quality not quantity counts.
We view work, choices, test-scores, exercise, housing, cars, and many other things as if more, bigger, higher, and faster is always better.
Even in the banking crisis, those giant banks were "too big to fail." We couldn't let them fail because we can't imagine another solution.
Because we as a nation tell the story of "More is better," so often, we don't even realize it, and it is becoming the downfall of our country.
I'm not sure what our new story should be, but we need to find a new direction or we are going to fall-short, use-up, and break-down.
By changing the way I hear and tell my own story at least, I have found a job doing something I love! Let's hope our nation can change it's story too.
Somehow it always seems I end up with a theme without meaning to. I guess it's because this week I was working with trying to develop a design (which I'll post about later in the day) that has both curvy and spiky images in it.
Enjoy these lovely photos, and maybe you too will find some new contacts worth having on Flickr!

Suicide Details: Mindy McCready's Autopsy Results and More
Mindy McCready's death has been confirmed as a suicide from a single gunshot wound, according to preliminary autopsy results released by the Arkansas Crime Lab.
The 37-year-old country star was found dead on the front porch of her Heber Springs, Arkansas home on Sunday, just a few weeks after her boyfriend, David Wilson, died in the same spot.
A friend of the singer, Danno Hanks, told People magazine (on newsstands Friday) that Mindy had "lost all hope" when she was served with court papers suggesting her two children, Zander, 6, and Zayne, 10 months, move in with her estranged mother.
"The most important thing are (sic) my babies must come home," she told Danno in an email.
Police told People, McCready's home was left in disarray with food, dog feces and prescription pill bottles. The body of a dog, which had belonged to Wilson, was also found. Mindy reportedly shot the animal before she took her own life.
"Extra" also obtained a never-before-seen interview with McCready and David Wilson before their deaths. The interview took place in 2010 in Nashville, and they both opened up about their relationship.
McCready said, "He's a good man. I haven't known too many of them in my life." Wilson added, "I think the world of her. I don't think anybody really knows her like I do… She's everything to me. She's an angel."

We download a 3D file, simulate the folding sequence, establish the bend radii, create a fold sequence, convert to a 2D pattern, nest and laser cut to suit.
Bysoft 7 provides a consistent quality of bend using the parameters and bend sequence for all parts then instructs the operator at every step.
Our Bysoft 7 software automatically checks for tonnage required, collisions and bend radii when the dimensions of our vee blocks, top tools, bend bars and hemming tooling are loaded in.
Numerous fold options for corners and more allow our programmers to reduce welding and assembly times post-folding.
Better utilisation of material: out with cutting, welding and grinding RHS; in with cutting, folding and welding from sheet — no part lengths of RHS on the rack two years later.
You pay only for the amount of steel required as we nest with other customer jobs.
Make stronger parts that weigh less. CNC interlocking design, fold, cut and weld allows your finished product to look smart, plus be lighter and stronger.
Save money — no need to cut those extra profiles used in a manual set-up.
We simulate the folding and establish the bend radii before we cut the flat profile.
Our Bystronic Bysoft 7 software lets us create perfect bending programs, saving you time and money by sequencing and positioning automatically.

Connecticut Audubon Society Birdcraft Museum and Sanctuary
Founded in 1914 by author and conservationist Mabel Osgood Wright (1859-1934), the Connecticut Audubon Society Birdcraft Museum and Sanctuary is dedicated to the protection of birds and their habitats within the state (it is not affiliated with the National Audubon Society or any other organization). The sanctuary is the oldest in the country and is historically significant for this reason. Together, the museum and sanctuary comprise a National Historic District. The museum features dioramas of state birds in various habitats and other exhibits. The site's grounds include meadows, gardens, and a pond.
The Connecticut Audubon Society Birdcraft Museum and Sanctuary was established in 1914 by Mabel Osgood Wright, one of the conservation movement's leading national activists.
Mabel Osgood Wright was born in New York City in 1859. She developed her love for birds and nature as a child. Her father, who was a minister, exposed her to the outdoors and her family spent a lot of time at their summer home. These experiences laid the groundwork for her activism as an adult, which also included efforts to reduce the harmful effects of urbanization. In terms of education, she was homeschooled and also attended private schools. She married her husband, James Osborne Wright, who was from England, in 1884. After spending some time in England, they returned to America and settled here in Fairfield.
Wright (Mabel) began to make a name for herself in conservation as a teenager. She published an article in the Evening Post when she was 16. Then in 1893, she published articles associated with the Audubon Society and conservation in general in the Evening Post and the New York Times. Two years later, she published her first book called "Birdcraft," which was well received around the country as a fieldbook for bird watching. More importantly, it had the effect of reviving the Audubon Society, which had essentially dissolved and ceased publishing its magazine. It reconstituted itself in 1896 and Mabel was appointed editor of the magazine called Bird-Lore, which was the precursor to the Audubon magazine. In it, she provided advice to readers about birdwatching and conservation. The magazine proved critical to the movement's success as it generated and rekindled support for bird conservation. She continued to serve as editor until 1910 and then as contributing editor until she passed away in 1934.
Wright established the sanctuary to provide an actual space for bird conservation, rather than simply writing about it. With the help of a few wealthy friends, she bought land and designed it according to specific guidelines she developed. Visitors came to learn about birds and some even brought dead ones to learn what they were. Over time, the sanctuary and its educational offerings grew. In addition to her articles, Wright also wrote nature stories for children as well as fiction and non-fiction for adults. She died in her home on July 16.

Success Stories Helium liquefiers FSU Jena, Germany – L70
Helium Liquefier L70 at FSU, Jena
The Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena in Germany has been delivering liquid Helium since 1976 to various users at the University or in the region. In 1992 a new LR20/80 liquefier equipped with 2 turbine expanders was supplied by Linde to replace the original equipment, with a nominal production capacity of 10 l/h of liquid Helium.
In 2007 Linde Kryotechnik AG was awarded a new contract by the "Institute of Solid State Physics" of the Friedrich-Schiller University of Jena who has been producing liquid Helium, for the supply of a new liquefier to increase the production of LHe. However, the project had to respect several constraints, one of the most difficult one being to ensure constant production of liquid Helium during the whole project, including during the installation of the new equipment, the start-up, and the test phase.
The result has been the successful delivery of an L70 liquefier consisting of a new Coldbox, a screw compressor being able to deliver high-pressure gaseous Helium directly to the new Coldbox or to the old one, an additional buffer tank as well as all the equipment requested for the purification of the gas before it enters in the Coldbox. A control system including the visualization rounds off the functionality of the equipment.
The new Coldbox has been installed immediately next to the old one, providing the highest availability for liquid Helium production, the producer being able to switch between old and new production systems. The handover of the new L70 liquefaction unit showed production of 29 l/h without LIN pre-cooling and with 1% impurities resent in the feeding gas. On April 27, 2009, the equipment was officially inaugurated by Prof. Dr. P. Seidel of the Institute of Solid State Physics in presence of Prof. Witte, Vice-Rector of the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, and more than 70 guests.
The LHe-production is covering the usual cooling needs of all Schools of Natural Science and the School of Medicine. Typical applications are structural analysis methods like NMR. By using LHe in the School of Physics and Astronomy the focus is on preparation and analysis of superconducting films and multilayers used for cryo-electronic devices like Josephson junctions and DC-SQUIDs.
For examples SQUIDS (Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices) are applied in non-invasive medical techniques evaluating bio-magnetism, or to executing gravitational experiments in astronomy.


With Disney on Ice of course. What a great way to gear up for Disney next week than with taking the kids to see this show, right? We get club seats which is just amazing. Cushier seats, more room, your very own Club bathrooms and Club bar and Club food. No waiting in long lines for us! This time we got six tickets and so we decided to take my niece Lena with us (next time, Mikayla!). The kids all donned their Disney wear.... that I had to unpack because well, whoops. We got ourselves settled with popcorn just in time for the show to start!
I am such a fan of these shows! All my magical favorites right before my very eyes! My kids love this show and their faces say it all! They sing a long and dance and their excitement is just very infectious. My niece said she loved it so much and wanted to go back the very next day but during the show she was so serious! She just ate her popcorn and sat straight up and her eyes never left the ice. It is pretty overwhelming in there I'll give her that. But! We are all so pumped for next week people!


Discover Wolseley – Explore, Taste, Stay.
Today three restaurants and the Winterberg Mountain Inn, owned by former newspaper editors and journalists Reint & Karien Grobler proudly line a beautiful stretch of road with its rich road-building heritage between Wolseley and Ceres. Here you can sleep & eat following the footsteps of our south african pioneers, nestled in the shadow of the Mostershoek Mountain, sample traditional meals and if you are lucky, meet a friendly ghost..
Reint & Karien Grobler, renowned for their country hospitality, are also a great source of local history and knowledge. Their website offers some great history snippets of the area.
The Witzenberg Mountains were a big challenge for those headed to the interior and further north. Testimony to the incredible engineering and road building skills required to get through these imposing mountains are still visible in the passes required when you visit or discover the Wolseley Valley. The Du Toitskloof, Bainskloof, Nuwekloof and Michells Pass are well worth travelling slowly to appreciate the scenery, challenges and incredible achievements of the pioneers.
The road from Wolseley to Ceres through the Michell's pass became the main route to the north when diamonds were discovered in Kimberley in the late 1800's. Diamond magnate Barney Barnato frequented the town regularly en route to the diamond fields up north.
Also knows as the 'Forgotten Highway' the route is fast developing as a popular tourist attraction. The old toll house and parts of Bain's original stone retaining walls were preserved for posterity so that future generations can acknowledge Bain's engineering genius. Make sure you stop over at the Tolhuis Bistro & Farm Stall, without doubt the coziest place with the best roosterkoeke & mountain views in this corner of the Boland.
Winterberg Mountain Inn with its Harvest Table Bistro (between Ceres and Wolseley at the start of Michell's Pass), stands proud on the original foundation of a wheat mill known as the Ceres Mill. The Winterberg Mountain Inn offers traditional dining, affordable garden weddings, a cosy fireplace for winter fireside dining.
So whether you are day tripping or planning a country getaway, love roosterkoek, local food or pizza – be sure to plan your visit and route to include a stopover at one (or all) of their great venues.

In 2005, Paul and I were offered the opportunity to buy a small piece of ground adjoining the farm we were then farming - White Bridge Farm on the R43. This piece of ground was an abused piece of mountain with few prospects other than its location. In its past, it was a stone crushing business with mining rights and the mountainside was eroded away as the clay was used to make bricks, leaving dreadful scars. Our idea was to turn this piece int a community development project, which would involve our staff. Our son, a newly qualified Chef started training ladies how to add value to otherwise waste fruit, making jams, jellies and preserves. We turned an old building into a kitchen and were relying on government funding to get this project underway. Unfortunately our dreams were too big for any backers to see and we were possibly ahead of our time, so we had to pull the project and for many years the land lay fallow.
Some years ago Peppi decided to turn the training kitchen into a studio to enjoy her mosaic crafts and invited many ladies in the valley to join her and for a number of years they met every Tuesday, sharing skills, inspiration and a morning of creativity.
Paul and Nick turned the existing shed into a wood crafting station and so the creativity started flowing.
In 2016, Peppi decided to add a shop to what is now known as the "Creative Hub" and things really started to happen.
We still have a dream to involve the community with mini workshops involving the "Township Creatives" and developing the "Hub".
What sets us apart and makes us different to the usual farmstall / craft shop is that focus largely on recycling and up cycling, making bespoke gifts form exotic bottles, drift wood, broken plates, kettles and numerous other items. Everything has a story and an interesting history, making us quite unique.
To enhance these unusual gifts, we offer fruit, vegetables and home made preserves, jellies and products from the valley.
Our ideal visitors are guests to the valley who want to explore our area and take something unusual back with then after the weekend. We are able to take card payments and are open on Sundays.
What is your favourite part of The Creative Hub?
It is extremely special to us to see the expression on the faces of people who enter our shop. They are pleasantly surprised by unusual, and unique items that are on display.
#Wolseleyza - A Thousand things to do and then @ Fynbos Guest Farm!
Meet Peter & Maurice, owners and your hosts at Fynbos Guest Farm.
Maurice and Peter have interesting backgrounds, Pete from Zimbabwe; and Maurice from Nigeria met in Cape Town and decided to start a new chapter. So searching for a place to buy and stay began in earnest. Maurice in Jhb left much of the searching to Peter who was living in cape Town. After much 'hunting' Peter remembered a good friend who lived in Wolseley. He decided to drive through to meet her and had a strong feeling that she may be selling. His first trip was fruitless – no one was there, and the place was locked up, and then early one morning, 2 months later, he had a strong feeling and decided to make another trip. This time he found the owner who told him the farm had already been sold [cash deal]; Pete's response – was "We will own this farm, wait and see!" Well 2 months later, he got a call to say the deal had fallen through and we started the process to eventually buy the farm. We always say, the farm choose us. Pete called me and described the farm, and my response was "buy it". The 1st 3 years was HARD work, fixing; repairing and cleaning. The next few years was enhancing and uplifting. Now we live in what we call 'paradise'. We love it. Our home is a reflection of us.
Fynbos guest farm is a 67 ha working farm only 90 minutes away from Cape Town, in the 'Valley of Abundance' - the Witzenberg Valley; bordering Tulbagh and Ceres. Located just 2km outside the small town of Wolseley, in the heart of the Cape Winelands.
What does Fynbos Guest Farm offer? What makes a Fynbos visit special or different from the rest?
We have 3 self-catering farm cottages and a small, private and tranquil caravan and camping facility, comprising 9 sites each with an electrical point. We have been regarded by many as one of the best in the country and listed as one of the top 10 'things to experience' by various media.
Renowned for our flowers, visitors from all over visit Fynbos Guest Farm to view our extensive flower and grass species. This is not to mention, the diverse fauna on the farm, from tortoises, Grysbok, mongoose, steenbok, zebra, springbuck, emus, goats, donkeys and abundant birdlife. Our guests are invited to interact with them and feed the animals. Guests are welcome to bring along apples, carrots, bread, lettuce, etc and feed the animals.
Fynbos is loved by nature and animal lovers. We do expect our guests to respect that our animals, birds, pigs etc live in complete harmony and are not accustomed to ever being chased or harassed in any way! Children are expected to treat all animals and other livestock with respect and care.
What is your favourite feature, something you especially love at Fynbos?
Name one thing, other than your establishment, that you would recommend other people to visit/do in Wolseley?
High on Fynbos Guest Farm's list of recommendations for guests is to visit one of the Valleys outstanding Wine & Olive Estates – the award-winning organic wines at Waverley Hills are rated highly and a meal in their Restaurant should not be missed by any visitor to the Witzenberg Valley!
Follow Fynbos updates on Facebook or visit their website for more information.
The magnificent Bosjes has certainly got the Western Cape talking - Samantha Linsell's article and photographs perfectly capture this very unique venue, just 10 minutes from the village of Wolseley.
"Today I got a sneak peek into the very beautiful Bosjes Farm in the Breede River Valley before it's opening in the middle of this month. I had seen many pictures of its chapel, the design of which was inspired by a bird in flight, but seeing it in the flesh was even more impressive. It is exquisite. From a distance it looks to me like a swan gliding across the water, and is a stunning space to look at and be in.
The property is nestled at the foot of the Waaihoek Mountains and there are panoramic views in every direction. The small boutique guesthouse has 5 luxury suites and gorgeous pool in the middle. The décor has an earthy, natural but contemporary feel that blends into the stark surroundings."
My partner and I returned to Cape Town from Wolseley after two days of work and pleasure. She had enjoyed meeting the Tourist Office staff and local business owners for her Social Media Workshop. I had visited five utterly different wine farms and tasted so many different wines of every style and variety. I realised that there's so much more to do in the area – hiking, mountain-bike riding, fishing and more – with its spectacular scenery. Even so, we had time to stop off at the Farmyard Honey Factory on the R46 and see one of the Wolseley blockhouses as we passed through. The old forts were built in 1901 by the British during the Anglo-Boer War to protect the railway bridges from Boer attacks.
I have two reasons to return: to taste the 2017 Chenin Blanc and to visit the farmers' market at Mountain Ridge wines. There are more vineyards to taste wines too, which are not shown on the Tourist Office map or website.
Another reason perhaps is to sketch out a Wolseley Wine Route for the Tourist Office. It is needed. I already have a name in mind. WWW again but not for the Warm Wolseley Welcome. It will be WWW for Peter's Wolseley Wine Wanderings!

In construction litigation cases, owners often ask, "how much can I recover from the designer's error or contractor's defective work?" Alternatively, designers and contractors typically want to know, "what is my exposure?" The answer depends on many different factors, two of which should be considered by owners, designers, and contractors: first cost and betterment.
"First costs" are the costs for construction that the owner would have incurred if the initial design plans matched the final design plans. Sch. Bd. Of Broward County v. Pierce Goodwin Alexander & Linville, 137 So. 3d 1059, 1070-71 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014). In other words, the costs that an owner would have necessarily incurred to have a non-defective building or component construction built. Id.
For example, if an engineer negligently designed a septic system's drain field to consist of 1,000 square feet of drain field, instead of the required 1,200 feet of drain field, the owner would not be entitled to the cost of building the additional 200 feet of drain field because the owner would have had to incur that cost anyway to have a non-defective, functioning drain field. Lochrane Eng'g, Inc. Willingham Realgrowth Inv. Fund, Ltd., 552 So. 2d 228, 232-33 (Fla. 5th DCA 1989).
This does not mean that the designer is never liable for damages resulting from the negligent design. Id. The negligent designer may still be held responsible for any consequential damages caused by the system's failure (e.g., cost to make it temporarily functional, clean up, or damage to other property or persons) and the increased cost of installing the additional 200 feet of drain field, if the cost had increased from the time of original construction to the time of it is corrected. Id.
"Betterment" occurs when an owner makes repairs with a more expensive design, uses higher quality materials, or increases the defective building or component's useful life. Grossman v. Sea Air Towers, Ltd., 513 So. 2d 686, 688 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987); Temple Beth Sholom & Jewish Ctr., Inc. v. Thyne Const. Corp., 399 So. 2d 525, 526 (Fla. 2d DCA 1981); Mall v. Pawelski, 626 So. 2d 291, 292 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993); Louisville Scrap Material Co., Inc. v. Petroleum Packers, Inc., 566 So. 2d 277, 278 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990). This means that typically an owner is only entitled to damages for the cost of restoring the defective construction component to a condition that complies with the original design. Thyne Const. Corp., 399 So. 2d at 526.
For instance, if a deck was negligently designed and collapsed, the owner would only be entitled to recover the cost of rebuilding the deck to the original load capacity using materials of the same or similar quality. Sea Air Towers, Ltd., 513 So. 2d at 688. The owner would not be entitled to recover damages for the design and material costs for increasing the load capacity to a greater capacity than what the owner originally contractor for. Id. To the extent that an owner, for example, seeks damages for only the replacement cost of a roof, those damages may be set-off or pro-rated for an increase in the life expectancy of the roof. Pawelski, 626 So. 2d at 292; Petroleum Packers, Inc., 566 So. 2d at 278.
All this means that, if you are an owner seeking damages for a negligent design or defective construction, you will want to seek the full measure of your damages. You would therefore compile all the costs that you have incurred to make the design compliant and rebuild the defective component and any other consequential damages resulting from the negligent design or defective construction. Once you have these amounts, you will want to keep in mind that the negligent designer or contractor may attempt to reduce your damages claim by presenting evidence to show that a portion of your damages is not recoverable because they are considered first costs or betterment.
On the flip side of the coin, if you are a designer or contractor who's been accused of negligent design or construction, you will want to analyze the owner's claimed damages to see if they might be reduced by the amount of the first costs or betterment. The best way to do this would be through expert testimony showing that the owner would have incurred some of the costs anyway or that the costs are beyond that which was originally contracted for. Remember that this may be done through your own expert or by simply getting the owner's expert to agree during cross examination. Pierce Goodwin Alexander & Linville, 137 So. 3d at 1073.
So remember, if you are the owner, ask for everything and make the designer or contractor question your damages claim, and, if you are the designer or contractor, immediately assert the defenses of first cost and betterment, preserving the ability to prove that the owner is not entitled everything.

Michael John LaChiusa: Heaven
Written by Steven Blier
Artistic Director, NYFOS
The Art of Pleasure ends with a section simply called "Peace." The centerpiece is an unpublished song by Michael John LaChiusa entitled "Heaven," which I first heard on Mary Testa's album, Have Faith. When I was programming NYFOS's 30th anniversary gala, all the songs had to have a "30" connection—for example, something I first played 30 years ago, or something that premiered 30 years ago, or something written in 1930. We also got a few songs by Sondheim, born in 1930. To vary the approach, I asked Mary to sing a song she felt would be a classic in 30 years. She sent me three possibilities. I listened to all of them and made a beeline for "Heaven."
I met Michael John at the very beginning of his career, when his music tended to be all dots and dashes, written in a pointillist, conversational, Morse Code style. His musical theater scores have warmed up a great deal since those early days, while gaining in complexity and compositional depth. "Heaven" is from a revue called Hotel L'Amour. The songs in it, I believe, were either cut from past musicals or destined for projects that LaChiusa abandoned. Whatever its provenance, it never fails to move me. It's been fascinating to go from Mary Testa's salt-of-the-earth belt to Zoie Reams' cultured mezzo-soprano. "Heaven" happily embraces both kinds of singing, stopping time and giving us all hope.
Called "the coolest dude in town" by Opera News, master collaborative pianist and coach Steven Blier is the co-founder and artistic director of New York Festival of Song. Here on No Song is Safe From Us, Steven blogs about the NYFOS Emerging Artist residencies, writes the engaging and erudite program notes for our Mainstage concerts, and contributes frequently to Song of the Day.

Ireland's Office of the Press Ombudsman Uses Mediation to Resolve Press Complaints
Wednesday, May, 29, 2013
The Office of the Press Ombudsman in Ireland has reported that last year, one-third of all of its disputes were successfully resolved through conciliation or mediation. As an agency established to ensure the public's access to an independent press, the Office of the Press Ombudsman processes complaints from the public to determine whether such complaints are valid. If so, the Office of the Press Ombudsman works to resolve the complaints through mediation, when possible, following the Code of Practice for Newspapers and Magazines.
According to Professor John Horgan of the Press Ombudsman, the system of regulation that has been put into place in Ireland has been "bedded down well," as an increasing number of complaints are being resolved through conciliation and mediation. Horgan, who was personally involved in making a decision regarding 40 complaints last year, also mentioned that publications produced under the auspices of the Press Council were "continually improving their internal systems of complaint handling."
The Press Council of Ireland and the Office of the Press Ombudsman have been established within Ireland for five years. Within that time, the offices have received approximately 2,000 complaints, with 575 complaints received last year alone. 250 of those 575 complaints were concerning two articles that were published.
Professor Horgan stated, "Whereas the total volume of complaints can often float up or down, the total number of complaints resolved, either by determination, conciliation or mediation, is probably the best guide to the work we do."
This work is not limited to hard print journalism but also extends to all forms of digital journalism that is published within the country. According to Daithi O'Ceallaigh, chairman of the Press Council, such publications should be judged by the same criteria as hard print.


With some of the worst load shedding in living memory this year should stand as an example of just how bad things could get if we do not act on our current energy problems. Depressingly things could actually get worse before they get better, but for Bangladesh to euphemistically step out of the darkness and into the light, we may need to look at alternative sources of energy to solve our problems. Wind and hydropower have a limited scope of success in Bangladesh, but could solar power provide us with a viable solution to our nagging energy problems?

Groupe Beneteau launches a consultation to consolidate its CSR approach
Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, France, September 16, 2019
In order to better define and structure its commitment to sustainable development, Groupe Beneteau conducts its first materiality analysis and launches an online CSR consultation, open to all stakeholders.
Groupe Beneteau has been committed for many years to reducing the environmental impact of its activities. This includes the implementation of concrete means and action plans deployed on all its sites (reduction of air emissions, reduction of waste, eco-design of leisure homes, protection of biodiversity, etc.). The health and safety of its staff is also a major focus for the Group, which is attentive to maintaining employment in its historic French territory while continuing to expand internationally.
The development of the materiality matrix marks a new stage in the Group's CSR approach
The first phase of qualitative consultation with over a hundred internal and external stakeholders in France and internationally identified a list of 50 CSR issues for the Group. They were distributed according to the 5 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2015. The second phase of consultation is now quantitative, it allows everyone to contribute and indicate what are, according to you, the priority CSR issues.
The consultation is open to all, in France and abroad
It comes in the form of an anonymous questionnaire available in 4 languages (French, Italian, English, Polish) and allows everyone to rate from 1 to 5 the pre-identified issues:

The response time is estimated at 5 minutes.
The questionnaire is open from September 16 to October 4, 2019.

Re-Purposing the Push-Pull Model to Describe Signature Patterns of Terrorist Disengagement by Group: A Validation Study.
Marita La Palm Master's student, American University
Disengagement, push-pull model, ETA, Islamic State, Ulster Volunteer Force, Red Hand Commando, Jemaah Islamiyah
Various researchers have developed the push-pull model (Aho, 1988; Altier, Thoroughgood, & Horgan, 2014; Altier, Boyle, Shortland, & Horgan, 2017; Bjorgo 2009). Others have completed research on factors of disengagement (Barrelle, 2014; Gill, Bouhana, & Morrison, 2015). The studies aggregate data from either individual testimonies or group analyses into a broad pool of factors in order to create a universal theory. This paper argues that rather than trying to view all terrorist organizations as having commonalities, the push-pull model can provide a unique perspective of how each group is dissimilar. Each organization has a distinctive pattern of disengagement that aligns with its context. Of particular interest is the positive or negative orientation of members toward their former community. The data from four studies of disengagement from different terrorist organizations also provide a meso-level view to validate the push-pull model, allowing for a comparative analysis of whether some factors occur more frequently or do not appear in specific groups as well as whether some factors are missing from the model. A future counterterrorism application of this paper would be to carry out push-pull analyses of terrorist organizations in order to create a convincing strategy tailored by organization that will encourage members to voluntarily leave.
