New York, NY, Point Roberts, WA - August 23, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including renewable energy stocks, issues a corporate and industry update for solar stock, XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX), entitled A Solar System Is Installed in the US Every 4 Minutes.
Tom M. Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) said in the corporate/ industry update: "The headline above was something we wanted to share with investors this week."
"This headline was published Tuesday by Greentech Media Research and outlines some incredible statistics showing solar installations rapidly increasing from installing one system about every 80 minutes back in 2006 to one every 4 ½ minutes today, with expectations being that by 2016, there will be one installed about every minute and a half. No matter how you look at it, this is impressive growth and helps strengthen the entire PV industry here in the USA.
However, the speculation for even greater opportunity did not stop there this week. During the National Clean Energy Summit, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, industry professionals called for a Western States-Wide increase in the use of renewables setting 51% as a minimum goal for energy production utilizing renewable sources, up from a goal of about 30% today. There is a lot of work that has to be done by the industry to achieve that goal, but as one speaker noted, "cost is no longer a primary objection to renewables."
Two of our most active customers are located in regions where we are seeing similar growth opportunities. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions, there are efforts by governments to amend their regulatory frameworks and embark on privatization of the energy networks.
What is driving these policy change efforts? In order to prepare for the future, developing regions require large amounts of external funding to ensure that their respective energy industries are capable of resonding to an estimated 6.4% compounded annual growth in power demand. By privatizing, they create profitable opportunities for investors, which is to the advantage of our customers who have been working with their governments to capitalize on these changes and attract new investments.
So how does this good industry news relate to XsunX? We recently announced that XsunX was expanding operations to include additional services that include everything from PV factory planning and start-up requirements to solar power field project planning and installations. With these additional capabilities, we are responding to changes in the market and addressing the requirements from our prospective customers.
While the aforementioned PV growth opinions and statistics are not set in stone (and there are plenty more incredible growth projections being published lately), the industry appears to be hitting the re-set button as it climbs out of the damage caused by the past several years of oversupply and instability. Here at XsunX, we are focused on adapting to evolving customer needs and doing what is necessary to profit from these new opportunities."
XsunX, Inc. is working to commercialize a new manufacturing process to produce low cost, high efficiency thin-film Copper Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells. Our patent-pending processing technology, which we call CIGSolar®, focuses on the mass production of thin-film CIGS solar cells utilizing a proprietary multi-area thermal deposition process to minimize processing defects to create highly uniform CIGS films. These cells match silicon solar cell dimensions and can be offered as a non-toxic, high-efficiency and lowest-cost alternative to the use of silicon solar cells. The company is offering licenses for the use of the CIGSolar® process technology, and plans to generate revenue through licensing fees and manufacturing royalties for the use of the CIGSolar® technology.

New York, NY, Point Roberts, WA - August 20, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including renewable energy stocks, issues a corporate and shareholder update for solar stock, XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX), entitled "New Marketing Efforts Showing Positive Early Results ".
"In last week's update, we outlined how XsunX is expanding our marketing and sales efforts by adding solar business solutions to our service offerings. The goal is to adapt to changing market conditions and make it easier for customers to say "yes".
The good news is that our target audience understood the message and we have already received inquiries. We have begun discussions with customers responding to our expanded service offerings. Although this is just the beginning, we are off to a good start and we plan to keep the focus on these emerging opportunities. The goal is to increase the number of opportunities in our sales pipeline and to start closing deals as soon as possible.
So "why are we expanding our marketing vision?" Because the solar market was turned on its head over the last few years and the next wave of solar investors are both customers and investors in solar opportunities who are looking for more than just a single piece of a technology puzzle. Many of the customers we have spoken to have new business models and they are looking to fill needs in their markets pragmatically.
The purpose of our solar service additions is to adapt to customers' needs, make it easier for them to do business with us, and to offer a broader range of services and products attractive to new customers with the goal of making sales.
New York, NY - August 19, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy stocks newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors, including renewable energy stocks issues an exclusive Q&A with the CEO and President of Powerdyne International, Inc. (OTCBB: PWDY), a company that manufactures portable power generation equipment . Mr. Dale P. Euga discusses the company's current status and the next steps for brining the PDIGenset to the portable energy generation market.
For investors unfamiliar with your company and technology can you give us a brief history of PDIGenset?
Is the technology commercial and ready for sales and installations?
Yes. Since June of 2012, the company has had a 1 Megawatt factory tested unit in the shop which serves as a research and development tool for the company. It also serves as a demonstration unit to interested customers.
Q: Investorideas.com Can you name some of your competitors and what makes your portable power generation technology competitive and unique in the marketplace?
Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, Cummins, Kohler, and Jenbacher are manufacturers of these generator sets. Typically, their units are very large, heavy, maintenance intensive, and expensive to operate. These units weigh around 90,000 pounds, are 18-24 feet long, 8 feet high and 8 feet wide. Most of these engines have been derived from diesel technology and have been adapted from diesel to run on natural gas. Most importantly, these units are not portable and are rarely used for primary power.
In contrast, the PDIGenset weighs only 14,000 pounds. It is 6 feet in diameter and 12 feet long. The unit is inserted into a standard 40 foot long steel shipping container. Excess space inside the container is used for lubricant containers and for the heat exchanger's production of hot water.
A special performance characteristic of the PDIGenset is that it can perform very efficiently in extreme cold temperatures and at high altitudes. Whereas other technologies, especially diesel, are de-rated starting at altitudes over 4,000 feet. Most mining applications in South America are above 5,000 feet and require multiple engines to drive one generator. A single PDIGenset can replace these inefficient power generator assemblies and produce power 24/7.
Our competitive edge occupies two domains. First, we generate primary electric power at a very inexpensive rate. This enables us to sell electricity to the customer at a far lower rate per kilowatt hour. Second, there is very little capital outlay from the client because they do not buy the equipment. The client just pays for the electricity.
Who are your target customers for this portable power generation technology; for example, defense or military?
Our technology is best applied to commercial users, mines, manufacturers and medical centers that have a minimum electrical base load of 1MW or greater. Hospitals, large shopping centers, heavy manufacturers, and transportation systems are ideal clients. The electricity produced by the PDIGenset is consumed in parallel with the main electrical source, usually the grid, and is used to augment total consumption. In this capacity, the consumer could save 20%-50% on an annual electrical bill depending on location.
A client could go completely off the grid by using a PDIGenset as a dedicated independent primary power station. The client could also remain hooked up to the grid as a back-up to the power station. Direct financial benefit for the client is the reduced cost of electricity and no responsibility for maintenance.
Portability would be a key factor for military applications. The unit's relative light weight, plus the fact that the entire system is contained inside a shipping container makes military applications a major market focus. Multiple PDIGensets can be loaded inside a military transport and quickly flown to any location around the world. Unlike any other genset of this capacity, it can be rigged to be parachute dropped to remote locations such as the jungle or the middle of the desert. Several units can be easily ganged together to provide power for a remote forward operations base.
What is the roll- out plan forPDIGenset and what can investors expect to see next in terms of market entry?
We are engaged in development talks with a large hospital group, local manufacturing companies, a pharmaceutical company, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the nation of the Dominican Republic, and have just started exploratory talks with the Aruba Power Authority.
In the next 12 to 18 months the company expects to manufacture and deploy the first 10 units, In addition, the Company has been aggressively marketing its units to many prospective businesses, State, and local municipalities, all with very positive feedback and interest. The Company projects that these first installations will generate new orders for 20 to upwards of 50 units that can be phased in over the following two production years.

The 2018 Paris Motor Show
AutomaaticOct 30, 2018
As usual, the 2018 Paris Motor Show was dominated by most of the usual suspects. However, it was complemented by some debutants that spiced up the show. The show was like a Brazilian beauty contest that was looking for the hottest Mamacita. No offense to other nationalities, but I just have a thing for Brazilian ladies. Below, we have listed some of the vehicles that stole the show.
What do we think about the Mercedes-Benz EQC?
The Mercedes-Benz EQC was one of the cars that were launched in this year's Paris Motor Show. It is an electric car that comes with a battery-electric powertrain that offers 402 horsepower. And did I mention that it has the looks of a Mexican soap opera star? This E-SUV will face stiff competition from established brands like the Jag I-Pace and the Hyundai Kona which both offer longer battery ranges.
What'sup with the Tesla Model 3?
The Model 3 has been growing a little slow but it has been gaining some admirers in the U.S.A. This all-electric car claims to have a range of 310 miles. The acceleration of this vehicle will leave you thinking that you are in a supercar. We are yet to know whether this car will be available in the U.K. market. This "affordable" and futuristic car is likely to generate a highly charged debate among many petrolheads.
What did Ferrari offer?
Ferraris has come up with some super-exclusive cars that are meant for their die-hard fans. Behold, the Ferrari Monza SP2, and SP1. Ferrari's design center has offered the SP2 as a two-seater while the SP1 is a single-seat Monza. These cars are part of the company's new Icon series. They are developed using lightweight carbon-fiber composites. They use 6.5-litre V12 that delivers 588kW. An experience of these cars will leave you with memories of the 1950s when Ferrari had two-seat racers. In Europe, each car will go for more than $2.5 million. We expect only 499 Monza units from Ferrari.
How shocking is the Renault EZ-Ultimo?
The Renault EZ-Ultimo is a concept that looks like something out of Star Wars. Renault describes it as a "robotic car that offers a premium mobility experience." This is one of the company's hyper-connected, electric-powered and autonomous-driving concept cars that have been manufactured in 2018. The earlier installments included a last-mile delivery van and a futuristic urban mobility pod. The EZ-Ultimo is nice to look at, but we don't think the company will ever produce it as it is.
What makes the Citroen C5 Aircross Phev special?
This concept vehicle is Citroen's contribution to the electrified future. It is a plug-in hybrid as well as an attractive midsize crossover. Using only electricity, it can travel up to 31 miles. The PHEV has a distinctive look thanks to its four separate rectangular lights. This vehicle will now move to mass production.
What is our take about the Land Rover Series I?
This year's Paris Motor Show also gave us a pleasant surprise by resurrecting the 1948 Series I. A drive in this vehicle feels like a safari through the Maasai Mara game reserve in Africa. It gets its juice from a 159cc four-cylinder engine. It also has a wheelbase of 80 inches. At the back of the SUV, it has a pair of bench seats. It had three seats in the front.
How good is the Suzuki Jimmy?
The Suzuki Jimmy also made an impression at the 2018 Paris Motor Show. It is a rugged off-roader that has a 100 hp four-cylinder engine with a capacity of 1.5 liters; it also produces 95 lb-ft of torque. This vehicle is a five-passenger, two-door, four-wheel drive, five-speed manual baby Jeep that has a two-speed transfer case. It isn't available in the U.S. market. The back is fitted with a spare tire. Although the manufacturer has failed to upgrade it for almost 20 years, it is certainly one of the cutest off-roaders.

I've been reading a little about Poland while thinking about the results of the climate discussions from Bonn and the talks next year in Katowice.
One of my thoughts is that it might be good for the climate change community to devote some time over the next year to visualizing a zero carbon transition for Poland's coal economy that the Polish people and perhaps even the Polish government can recognize as a significant step forward without sacrificing their jobs or security. This would go a long way towards heading off any difficulties from climate deniers and those of the authoritarian nationalist persuasion who'd like to make trouble.
I've contacted Mark Z Jacobson of Stanford University who has produced 100% renewable roadmaps for over 100 countries and all 50 states of the USA. He would be a primary resource for such an enterprise and now I've done my best to make sure he considers the possibility.
A clearly practical zero carbon transition for Poland?
Some time ago I posted a links to res-legal.eu in order to dramatize differential treatment of investment in renewable energy production and transmission in Ireland and France.
Here are bottom line hurdles in Poland. Is your informant aware of disincentives and remedies available to producers of and (public, private) investors in alternative energy projects?
My preference is that the international climate change community work closely with the Polish environmentalists who are already working on a clean energy transition and support them as best they can to prepare the ground in Katowice next year. If I can do anything to facilitate that, I will be happy to do so, given that I am simply one person with a computer and curiosity living halfway between Harvard and MIT.
Summing up from skimming the first pdf: Wind (on and off shore) and PV mix for Poland.
Of course, I think one should really see jobs as a societal cost, but without full employment policies it won't be seen the that way.

Power lines hamper development in Lynn
By Cotuit,
December 31, 2004 in Massachusetts
Cotuit
Location: State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations
The power lines are drawn over Lynn waterfront revival
By Alan Lupo | December 30, 2004
Inside the Mass. Merchandise Mart on the Lynnway, you can buy a toilet seat, a fancy knife, a wedding dress, makeup kits, tube sox, and Puerto Rican CDs. You can look at a tapestry of the Last Supper hanging on a wall down the hall from a small rocking horse that costs you a quarter a ride.
Next door at Building 197/8, people of various economic classes wander among the surplus and salvage for which the chain is known to shop for "Good stuff cheap," the store motto.
This chunk of Lynn, like much of the rest of that city, is diversity to the max. This is, for example, where immigrants show up to start that trip to the American dream of entrepreneurship, and where all manner of folks show up to buy what they figure is better-than-wholesale. Unlike most of the area north of Boston, this is not white-bread city. But those tired of Lynn being fiscally down at the heels would like to see a change here, some high-end redevelopment.
Creating that will not be easy. Just a few yards south, behind a tall metal fence, is a wasteland of open space, wild grass, untended bushes, and large piles of trash and rubble. All this, the land occupied by the stores, the parking lots, the vast space, all of this is what Lynn pols say is the greatest piece of potential waterfront development north of Boston.
"You can dream your biggest dream on the waterfront," says Lynn state Representative Steve Walsh, "and you could actually do it. It's an empty canvas, and it could be the showplace of the North Shore."
That's an old song, one that has been warbled for a half-century or more. Sometimes, the singing has been off-key. At times, those who wanted to develop some or all of the land turned out more likely to be the subject of media investigations than successful proponents of that much sought-after new gateway to Lynn.
In the bad old days, Lynn pols and their pals in the private sector made deals to do development. These are different days, insists a new generation of local leaders. They contend that the only obstacle to the development of condos, apartments, a hotel, sports and cultural venues with that dynamic waterfront view, is what has stood stubbornly in the way of every developer, good or bad.
You can spot the problem easily, as you drive north over the General Edwards Bridge and steal a look to the right. Power lines. Big, tall, imposing power lines, 40 of them, most of them 50 feet high, some 75 feet, that run along the border of what Lynners call South Harbor. They belong to New England Power, and a portion of the land belongs to Massachusetts Electric, both subsidiaries of National Grid, a London-based utility.
You could teach a law school course on property just by delving into the history of which public and private entities have owned pieces of the more than 60 acres. Boston business tycoon Joe O'Donnell owns a piece. An out-of-state guy owns another piece. Mass. Electric owns another chunk. But no matter who owns what, no outfit can develop part or all of the site unless those power lines are buried or relocated.
To do so costs big bucks. National Grid says burying them could cost from $5,225,000 to $6,800,000. Relocating the poles would cost more. The utility does not wish to spend those bucks.
Jackie Barry, a National Grid spokeswoman, says the company is willing to work with public officials and developers "on a plan to relocate the lines overhead or underground as long as it's a plan that will enable us to continue to deliver electricity reliably and safely to our customers, and as long as our customers are not the ones paying for relocation."
Walsh insists, "Mass. Electric won't negotiate. When they do come to the table, it's just a lot of talk. A year ago, I thought we left a meeting with clear to-dos, and I've never heard back from them. Mass. Electric has put blinders on and has said, 'We're not even going to discuss the site with you.' It's our prized jewel, and they refuse to even entertain the notion of development."
Given that frustration, Walsh and Lynn Representative Robert Fennell have introduced a bill requiring utilities to bury electrical lines that might cause a power failure, such as the one parts of Lynn, Nahant, and Swampscott experienced recently. He volunteers that the legislation is imperfect, but he's hoping that it will get a public hearing, that, if nothing else, will add pressure to the utility to take on at least part of the cost to bury the lines.
That's one approach. Another is being pursued by state Senator Thomas McGee. He says he's been talking with key officials in the Romney administration to set up a meeting early next year with National Grid "to see what we can get the Grid to do." McGee says support for development is no longer limited to Lynn but, rather, includes a number of interested parties on the North Shore. He successfully managed to include in a state transportation bond bill $14 million to bury those power lines, but when it comes to bond authorizations, nobody is ever sure if and when the money actually will show up.
Dealings on a state level raise another question -- will other legislators and Romney officials go out of their way to help Lynn? This columnist did a long search of campaign contributions from officials and employees of National Grid and found that over the last 2 years, they gave a total of at least $85,350 to candidates of both political parties. Why?
"We are a major employer in the state," Jackie Barry explains, "and like many other major employers, we participate in the political process in accordance with all the laws and regulations to advocate on behalf of our 1.3 million customers as well as employees and shareholders."
Neither Walsh nor McGee feels those contributions would prevent other legislators or the Romney administration from helping Lynn realize its decades-old dream.
"This plays into what Governor Romney talks about," McGee says, "the opportunities for developing in urban centers with transportation nearby and for revitalizing urban areas with housing and economic development. Lynn could be a showplace for that."
"Could be." McGee and the others want to change that tune to "Will be."

This is an interesting issue. Power lines take up large amounts of valuable land in Mass and it will come to a point where it will be cost effective to take them down.
There is a set near my house that I would love to see turned into a bike trail and housing.
The power lines are coming down over the Providence Waterfront as part of the 195 relocation project. There was a lot of back and forth over who was going to pay for it. They had to be moved to make way for the relocated highway, and it would have been tragic to miss that opportunity to bury them.

-Johnny, are you sure you want to do this?
-Yeah, honey. I regretted. For the 65 years of my life, this is my first and last regret. See you back in time.
I felt extremely dizzy this morning, it seemed to me I was having a bad dream. A weird dream.

The purpose of UTD's Biosafety program is to promote the safe use of biological agents in the university's research laboratories. UTD has established an Institutional Biosafety and Chemical Safety Committee (IBCC) to assist in providing guidelines and polices for biological safety to ensure that laboratory personnel are trained in the hazards and safe handling procedures of biological agents.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines biohazards (biological hazards) as "infectious agents presenting a risk or potential risk to the well-being of an, or other animals, either directly through infection or indirectly through disruption of the environment." Proper handling and disposal of biohazardous materials greatly reduces the potential for exposure to infectious or harmful agents. Students and Faculty at UTD who engage in laboratory work involving potentially hazardous biological materials should be aware of BioSafety precautions and occupational procedures.
Definition of Biohazardous Materials
Biohazards are infectious agents or hazardous biological materials that present a risk or potential risk to the health of humans, animals, or the environment. The risk can be direct through infection or indirect through damage to the environment.
Biohazardous materials and organisms covered in UT Dallas' Biosafety Program include:
View Biological Safety Manual
Infectious organisms and agents that can cause disease in humans, animals, plants, or cause significant environmental or agricultural impact
Infectious Prions
Engineered cell-entry domains
Nanomaterials used with biological systems, agents or materials
Nanomaterials used with biological systems or agents
Human and non-human primate tissues, fluids, cells or cell cultures
Animals, tissues, fluids, cells or cell cultures of animals that have been exposed to infectious organisms or are known to be reservoirs of zoonotic diseases
Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acids in vitro and in vivo
Transgenic plants or animals
Biological toxins
Select Agents
Requirement for researchers
Principal investigators must obtain an approved research protocol from the Institutional Biosafety and Chemical Safety Committee before beginning research activities with biohazardous materials.
An approved protocol will:
Describe the work to be conducted with biohazardous materials
Establish the biosafety level of containment
Identify the researchers, lab workers, and collaborators
Authorize the PI to conduct the work
Identify the approved work locations
PIs are responsible for keeping their protocol current at all times.
Recognizing Tasks and Activities Involving Exposure to Blood
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard 29 CFR 1910.1030 defines an occupational exposure as "reasonably anticipated skin, eye, mucous membrane, or parenteral contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials that may result from the performance of an employee's duties." OSHA's definition of occupational exposure excludes exposures that are not reasonably expected. It also excludes exposures that are not a required part of your normal job.
If you are unsure about whether an activity may involve exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials, ask your supervisor or contact the Safety team at 972-883-7200.
Potentially Infectious Materials
The following list represents the potentially infectious materials that are regulated by OSHA and which require careful management and control:
Human blood, blood components, and blood products
Semen or vaginal secretions
Cerebrospinal fluid
Synovial, pleural, peritoneal, or amniotic fluids
Saliva in dental procedures (frequently contains blood)
Any body fluid visibly contaminated with blood
All body fluids in situations where it is difficult or impossible to differentiate between body fluids
Any unfixed tissue or organs (other than intact skin) from a human (living or dead)
HIV-containing cell or tissue cultures, organ cultures, and HIV or HBV-containing culture medium or other solutions
Blood, organs, or other tissues from experimental animals infected with HIV or HBV
Hepatitis B vaccination is strongly recommended for personnel who have occupational exposure to BBP. The vaccination is provided at no cost to the individual through the UT Dallas Occupational Health Program.
UT Dallas collaborates with UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) as our Occupational Health provider. Personnel who have occupational exposure to BBP are offered access to the UT Dallas-UTSW Occupational Health Program to promote workers' health and support employees' working ability. After consulting with their Supervisor and the Safety team, an individual completes the online Occupational Health Program Enrollment – Intake Form to begin the enrollment process. Once enrolled in the program, individuals will establish a secure and private "My Health" account through the ReadySet® occupational health management system, and complete a Health History Questionnaire (HHQ) for review by the UTSW Occupational Health Nurse. UTSW will assess the working conditions that personnel will be exposed to, and determine if any additional procedures or practices are recommended to protect the health and safety of the individual. Additional procedures or practices may include: Titer and/or administration of immunizations, Tuberculosis (TB) screening, spirometry testing and/or respirator fit testing, vision screening, latex allergy screening, or recommendations for consultation with other supporting medical providers. All services are provided at the UTSW Occupational Health clinic.
Employees and students receive information about the vaccine and are provided with an Acceptance/Declination form. Employees and students working with BBPs must complete, sign and return the form and follow guidelines developed under the UT Dallas Occupational Health Program.
If an employee initially declines vaccination, the vaccination remains available if at a later date the employee decides to accept the vaccination while still having occupational exposure to BBP.
Use of Sharps
Sharps are devices or objects with corners, edges, or projections capable of cutting or piercing skin or regular waste bags. State and local laws regulate disposal of sharps to protect waste handlers from both physical and contamination hazards.
Examples of sharps include:
Hypodermic needles, syringes, tubing
Blades (scalpels, razors)
Broken lab glassware
Glass capillary tubes
Storage and Use
When applicable:
Secure sharps with a magnet
Store razor blades in a petri dish

A greener future for ocean freight
A speaker blog for World Ocean Summit Asia-Pacific by Kevin Leung, chief executive of DHL Global Forwarding in Asia-Pacific
September 14 2021 | 3 min
The shipping industry forms the backbone of global trade. Almost 90% of all goods in the world today are transported by sea, with ports in the Asia-Pacific region accounting for more than 50% of international trade volumes. DHL Global Forwarding's Global Trade Barometer examines 240m import and export data points from seven countries that represent more than 75% of global trade. Four of these (China, India, Japan and South Korea) are in Asia.
The Fourth Greenhouse Gas study conducted by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) found that global ocean freight emitted 1,076m tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2018. Unaddressed, industry emissions could increase between 50% and 250%, as demand for freight shipping may expand threefold by 2050. There is an urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and pave the way for cleaner, more sustainable sea-freight solutions.
Green fuels to power the vessels at sea
Modern cargo shipping uses digitisation to eliminate paperwork and maximise efficiency. Yet most ships still run on heavy fuel oil. When burned, it emits high levels of carbon dioxide alongside other pollutants known to negatively impact environmental and human health. If vessels continue to run on such fuels, the shipping industry will be responsible for as much as 17% of global carbon-dioxide emissions by 2050.
DHL Global Forwarding works with carrier partners to use alternative sustainable marine fuels in vessels and provide customers with the option to decarbonise less-than-container-load (LCL) and full-container load (FCL) shipments across international shipping lanes. Offering the use of sustainable marine fuels for all FCL shipments enables customers to decarbonise their entire ocean freight lanes. This follows the success of a similar service for LCL shipments.
Switching to marine biofuel is not without its challenges. "Drop-in" fuels must be used to avoid the need to modify engines, while non-drop-in fuels require engines that have been modified or specially built. Biofuels are also not inherently sustainable; deforestation and resource-intensive farming methods used to produce biofuel carry their own environmental imprint. Plant-based biofuels need to be produced in a way that does not change land use. For example, biofuel production must not compete with other land-use needs, such as food production.
Carbon "insetting" opens a new and promising pathway
To mitigate the shipping industry's carbon footprint, companies have traditionally looked to offset their carbon emissions by investing in carbon-negative projects such as afforestation or renewable energy. However, only 0.2% of the US$268m voluntary carbon-offset market went into transport-related projects in 2018. Carbon-offsetting can have a positive impact on the environment, but it does not reduce GHGs emitted by the shipping sector itself.
What's more, offsetting outside the sector reduces the incentive to innovate and advance carbon-neutral freight and other green logistics solutions. By contrast, carbon "insetting" funds projects that reduce carbon emissions in the sector where they are emitted, such as sustainable fuel, fleet renewal, engine retrofitting and efficiency projects. This sector-specific approach drives investment back into the industry to develop greener technologies.
Insetting within the sea-freight sector requires a paradigm shift from both the industry and consumers. Shipping can take the first concrete step to develop guidelines for carbon inset accounting and reporting based on an industry-recognised standard, such as the framework developed by the Global Logistics Emissions Council. The next critical step is acknowledging and integrating these guidelines into existing and future reporting and accounting standards.
The road to transitioning the ocean-freight industry is complex and requires significant resources and commitment to achieve a net-zero target. To this end, Deutsche Post DHL Group is investing around €7bn (US$8.3bn) in climate-neutral logistics solutions by 2030. Digital platforms can help to provide visibility and transparent management of freight rates, transport modes, carbon emissions and other relevant shipment data. IMO envisions a 50% reduction in GHG emissions from international shipping between 2008 and 2050. Decarbonising the shipping industry is a responsibility that every stakeholder should shoulder. To truly drive meaningful change, we need to see greater collaboration across the entire industry—operators, fuel providers, regulators, investors, businesses and customers alike. Decarbonising the world's oceans is a global problem that needs dedication from all parties. More can be done, and with all hands on deck, we can accomplish this together.
The World Ocean Summit Asia-Pacific will run as a virtual event on December 6th-10th 2021. Register for free. Dr Kelvin Leung will be speaking on the topic of reducing maritime emissions through shared responsibility. His blog is part of The Speaker Series. Access all speaker blogs here.

All Fannon medium-wave infrared lamps use a fast response "star" coil that heats up in less than 1 second. Utilizing a medium wavelength is very important when it comes to multicolor silkscreen processes. Medium-wave is less color sensitive to light and dark inks and plastisols in comparison to a short-wave infrared emitter.
Fannon "star" coil lamps are direct replacements for the OEM and are rated for 5000+ hours of operation. Our lamps are very competitively priced, typically held in stock, and ready to ship.

Q: How do we transfer a particular structure(defined by mask) in an image to another image? Image showing required content transfer between source and target images
Essentially is there a way to grow an image patch defined by mask and keep it realistic?

A: For your first question, you are talking about image style transfer. In that case, CNNs may help you.
For the second, if I understand correctly, by growing you mean introducing variations in the image patch while keeping it realistic. If that's the goal, you may use GANs for generating images, provided you have a reasonable sized dataset to train with:
Image Synthesis with GANs
Intuitively, conditional GANs model the joint distribution of the input dataset (which in your case, are images you want to imitate) and can draw new samples (images) from the learned distribution, thereby allowing you to create more images having similar content.
Pix2Pix is the open-source code of a well-known paper that you can play around to generate images. Specifically, let X be your input image and Y be a target image. You can train the network and feed X to observe the output O of the generator. Thereafter, by tweaking the architecture a bit or by changing the skip connections (read the paper) train again and you can generate variety in the output images O.
Font Style Transfer is an interesting experiment with text on images (rather than image on image, as in your case).

Flights disrupted as Chile volcano spews more ash

Puerto Varas (Chile) (AFP) - Ash from Chile's spewing Calbuco volcano threatened Saturday to spell travel misery in the region and beyond after it triggered the cancellation of domestic and international flights in several cities.
A sleeping giant for more than 50 years, the volcano sprang to life in spectacular bursts of ash and lava Wednesday and Thursday, forcing 6,500 people living nearby to evacuate and blanketed southern Chile in suffocating volcanic debris.
It coughed out more fire and ash Saturday, with an ash cloud drifting eastward over Patagonia and Argentina, reaching Buenos Aires 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) away, where some airlines canceled flights to and from the United States and Europe.
In the Chilean capital Santiago, domestic flights operated normally but some international flights were scrubbed.
A handful of flights were scrapped at Montevideo's Carrasco International Airport, and authorities urged people to use face masks to avoid inhaling ash particles.
"The volcano remains unstable and eruptions, principally ash, will continue for now," Chile's National Geology and Mining Service said in its latest report.
Experts have cautioned that a third eruption could still follow.
A state of emergency has been in place since Wednesday and authorities emptied a 20-kilometer radius around Calbuco, which is located in Los Lagos, a region popular with tourists for its scenic mountain landscapes dotted with volcanoes and lakes with black-sand beaches.
More people were ordered out from towns near Calbuco that were deemed at risk of flooding from snow and ice melting high in the mountains due to the volcano's heat. Authorities said they planned to evacuate about 4,000 sheep and cattle.
"I'm afraid and still thinking about leaving, but over the long term, I would still return to my land," said Carolina Bayern, who took refuge in a school with other evacuees.
Raul Rangel, who also was staying at the school, said he was no longer afraid of the volcano after it took out his home.
"I respect it," he added. "My house collapsed, and everything is destroyed, and I feel such great sadness."
- Blanketed in ash -
Southern Chile's verdant landscape has turned gray as ash has settled over vast expanses of farm land, especially in the immediate disaster zone around the volcano.
"There are fields that will be unusable for a long time," Agriculture Minister Carlos Furche told Radio Cooperativa.
The government said it is weighing whether to provide emergency payments to the hardest hit farmers, who fear they face financial ruin.
On the other side of the expanding security perimeter, the evacuation area was turned into a scattering of ghost towns blanketed with ash up to one meter (three feet) thick, an AFP photographer said.
In La Ensenada, a town of 1,500 people that was the first to be evacuated, workers used heavy trucks to plow the roads clear as a handful of residents ignored the evacuation order to shovel the ash and debris off their rooftops.
The 2,000-meter volcano last erupted in 1961 and showed light activity in 1972, according to official data. There have been no known fatalities from this week's eruptions.
It is the second volcano to erupt in Chile since March 3, when the Villarrica volcano emitted a brief but fiery burst of ash and lava.
Chile has about 90 active volcanoes.
The long, thin country has been hit by a series of natural disasters in recent months, from flooding in its usually arid north, home to the world's driest desert, to wildfires in its drought-hit southern forests.

Kolkata is the capital of the Indian province of West Bengal. Situated on the east bank of the Hooghly River around 75 kilometers (47 mi) west of the fringe with Bangladesh, it is the chief business, social, and informative focal point of East India, while the Port of Kolkata is India's most established working port and its sole major along a coast port. The city is mostly viewed as the "social capital" of India, and is futher nicknamed the "City of Joy".In 2011, the city had a population of 4.5 million, while the number of recident in the city and its rural areas was 14.1 million, making it the 3rd most crowded metropolitan region in India. Ongoing evaluations of Kolkata Metropolitan Area's economy have gone from $60 to $150 billion (GDP balanced for obtaining power equality) making it third most-beneficial metropolitan zone in India, after Mumbai and Delhi.
In the late seventeenth century, the three towns that originated before Calcutta were managed by the Nawab of Bengal under Mughal suzerainty. After the Nawab allowed the East India Company an exchanging permit in 1690,the region was created by the Company into an undeniably braced exchanging post. Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah possessed Calcutta in 1756, and the East India Company retook it the next year. In 1793 the East India organization was sufficiently able to abrogate Nizamat (nearby standard), and expected full sway of the locale. Under the organization rule, and later under the British Raj, Calcutta filled in as the capital of British-held regions in India until 1911, when its apparent land inconveniences, joined with developing patriotism in Bengal, prompted a move of the money to New Delhi. Calcutta was the inside for the Indian autonomy development; it remains a hotbed of contemporary state governmental issues. Following Indian autonomy in 1947, Kolkata, which was at one time the focal point of present day Indian instruction, science, culture, and legislative issues, endured quite a few years of monetary stagnation.


Academic writing tends to be verbose and a pivot towards conciseness seems like a good idea. I recently had the opportunity to review two German academic textbooks, both published by Springer, respectively in 2012 and 2009. The first one, on Foundations of Production Planning and Control Volume 1, clocks in at 485 pages, and there is a Volume 2 that I haven't seen, with 426 more pages. The second one, Theory of Production Planning and Control, has 1,508 pages. Having written on this topic myself in Manufacturing Systems Analysis and in Lean Logistics, I question that it deserves such extensive treatments and wonder who the readers are.
Doing away with final reports from students altogether, however, is an extreme measure. We need to ask what good these reports do. Unlike a document prepared by an employee to support a technical decision, a student report's primary value is to its author. As long as it is neither plagiarized nor ghostwritten, the production of a final report is often the most intense learning experience of a student's college years.
Expressing ideas in complete sentences and paragraphs exposes gaps in logic and fuzziness about facts, and prompts the author to fix both. Slides and bullet points certainly don't do this, which is the core of Edward Tufte's criticism of the cognitive style of PowerPoint: they gloss over issues instead of bringing them to light. Of course, A3 are not slides, and it's an open question whether they can do the job that reports do. An A3 is a summary but, by itself, no evidence that the detailed work has been done.
As a motivation for switching to A3s, van der Werk also brings up the amount of work required of the faculty to review all these reports, "in a batch, at the end of the year." Regarding the batching aspect, perhaps the university could reflect on the reason for the academic year ending at the end of the spring for all students as opposed to being staggered. The only reason schools take the summer off is so that children can help with harvests in the summer, and I don't think many of today's Avans students spend their summers as farm hands.
Should a University Align Itself With Lean?
Lean is not a theory or a methodology for higher education but a label that consultants have used to market their services and lead clients to believe that these services are based on the Toyota Production System and the Toyota Way. Marketing labels have a shelf life, and there is evidence that the "Lean" brand is getting stale, as a result of too many consultants slapping it on services that didn't deliver the expected results.
Avans University has been around for 200 years. To keep thriving, it needs to stay current but it should be wary of aligning itself too closely with a brand that doesn't have another 200 years ahead.
Verrrrrrrry scarrrrry! Yet again we have the promotors or "Fake TPS" aka Lean clutching at one outlandish and stupid instance of an academic institution doing away with what is key to teaching students how to report a comprehensive project effort. If we had our Industrial Engineering students do this to replace their Senior Capstone Design project reports, they would do the barest minimum so they could fit everything they had to say about what they did in an A3 Report. Mediocrity breeds mediocrity!
I don't see it either-or. To me, an A3-report is complementary to the thesis, ideally placed at the beginning of a book, report, or presentation – to summarize the entire content, giving the reader an overview of what's there.
In the Black Belt course, I require students to boil things down to the essence in the A3, so they can explain the entire project within five minutes, and without zapping through a powerpoint presentation.

Fantastic fishing on Saratoga Lake 6/10/2017!!
I was able to hit the water solo today since my son had a birthday party today. I was able to go fishing alone and not feel guilty! It has been a few weeks since I have had a normal outing. A few weeks ago we went out to Seneca Lake for the Lake Trout Derby. That was a complete bust. We also have had family boat outings, and I began scouting the Mohawk River. It is still loaded with debris, and the current is fast.
So long story short I had been looking forward today. Surprisingly the lake had maybe had two other boats fishing when I got out on the water at 5:45 AM.
The morning started out great, my first fish was a 19″ in Largemouth caught on a night crawler. I caught several other "keeper" bass too.
Gear: Live bait sitting off the bottom, slip bobbers, and reef runner banana baits.
General Overview: The bite was great. I found a lot of activity on sonar and the end of my line at 13 feet of water. The weed line is growing in at the depth. So I positioned the boat in about 16 feet of water and trolled\drifted along the weed lines. It was a truly a multi-species day. I lost a Pike, due to a poor hook set.
Raymond check out Nate's catch of the day!

Pug Bujeaud and Christian Carvajal Pick Their Fab 5
Some time ago actor Rick Pearlstein asked fellow actors and directors on Facebook to pick the favorite five plays they've been involved with. The responses were many and fun to read. I asked two local theater personalities if I could reprint their responses (originally intended for publication in the Weekly Volcano but now appearing here).
Pug Bujeaud has acted and directed more plays than Carter has little liver pills (who's old enough to remember that?). Christian Carvajal is also an actor and director, and until recently a theater critic. Bujeaud and Carvajal each graciously shared their comments (slightly edited).

Ten Years ago I directed my first Shakespeare for Theater Artists Olympia. Macbeth. It was the first time I really put my own spin on a concept, WWI never ended and it is modern day. It was a study of what happens to good people living in terrible times. Something I have continued to explore in various shows and writings. I hope to get my hands on this one again someday soon.
Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol was a joy to work on. The script was a find. The cast was full of some of my favorite people who were all working at the top of their game. Ryan Holmberg, Tim Goebel, Chris Cantrell, and Dennis Rolly. The sound design was Matt Ackerman, the first time we actually worked together on something. And Cecelia Sommerville's lighting design was sublime. I was especially proud of the opening moments of that show. OLT didn't know what hit 'em.
I have put Reservoir Dogs on the list. And I am going to have to tap both productions. Because well, I directed them simultaneously, so for me it was one very large show. What I was thinking I ...don't really know. But man what a wild ride. A great study in what actors bring to the table, and how they affect the direction a show takes. Same director different actors totally different shows.
Inherit the Wind was one of the first shows I was in back in High School, I never fell out of love with it. When The Evergreen Playhouse gave me a chance to direct it I jumped on it.

There were almost 30 people in this, I think. And the world they built was amazing. I totally believed them as a township. I particularly loved the church rally and the way the congregation was intermingled with the audience the way it moved one emotionally because you were totally a part of the action. I tried very hard to portray both sides of this story without vilifying either side. Keeping my own personal politics out of it. I think I managed it quite well. And Scott Petersen and Dennis Rolly as Drummond and Brady were a joy to watch every night.
So for my final entry on the Five Day Artist Challenge I am going to have to cheat. I gotta have three. I have a three-way tie. Three totally different pieces as my favorite for totally different reasons.
The Weir at The Tacoma Little Theatre was hard, it was frightening, we were swimming upstream for the majority of the rehearsal process. The script is brilliant. It had been on my bucket list for a long time. The final product ... as close to perfection as I can ever hope to come. Just five actors sitting around telling stories and listening to each other. And it was magic, theater at its best. I never got tired of watching them spin their yarns. Special thanks go out to David Wright for saving our collective bacon on that one.
The HEAD! that Wouldn't DIE! with TAO of course. What fun. What a freezing our butts off, what the hell are we doing, lets just jump into the deep end, labor of love. The writing, the music, and the wonderful cast made all of the sleepless nights and near frostbite worth it. Such funny, funny people. And the reception was the frosting on the already tasty cake. So gratifying. Can't wait to do it again in the fall.
Titus Andronicus with Theater Artists Olympia! Titus was a raging blaze of over-the-top, brutal performances. Everyone pushed their comfort zones in commitment to the cause. I am honored that folks trusted me and allowed me to take them to such hard places. I miss this show more than any other. I got to become real friends with a number of people who to this day are some of those closest to my heart. It was an audacious production and boy did that cast embrace it. Special thanks to the amazing Matt Ackerman for scoring the whole thing. I miss it really all the time.

As some of you may very well have expected, this brings us to Frost/Nixon at Tacoma Little Theatre (January 2011).
I'd been wanting to play Nixon in Peter Morgan's riveting play for several years. In fact, after Don Juan in Chicago, I lobbied to have Keith Eisner direct it in the Midnight Sun. So when I heard some yahoo named Brie Yost was directing it for TLT, I decided to squelch my anxiety about some kid fresh out of PLU helming a show about events that transpired before she was born. I auditioned in a 1960s style suit with my hair slicked back. I didn't perform an actual Nixon monologue, but I may as well have. It was pretty on-the-nose, but frankly, I thought I crushed it.
When I arrived at callbacks, I felt even better about my chances. None of these guys looked anything like Richard Nixon, I thought. I got up on stage, did my scenes, and there was an audible mumble of approval. And then ... friggin' Steve friggin' Tarry took the stage, and my dreams jackknifed clean off the 405. I knew he had the part before he finished his first scene. I was so crushed that when Brie offered me another part in the show, I told her it was too small to justify the drive back and forth from Tumwater. Jerk move, I know, but you can understand my feelings.
Brie called a few days later and asked if I'd play another part, ABC News producer Bob Zelnick, instead. Having rethought my letdown and refusal, I said yes. And so it was that I found myself sharing a stage, and dressing room, with Curtis Beech, Charlie Birdsell, James A. Gilletti, Bob Gossman, Josh Johnson, Brian Lewis, Gabriel McClelland, Paul Neet, Duane Petersen, and the inimitable Mr. Tarry. That's a hell of a lot of talent in one dressing room. It's also a lot of warm, smelly bodies and clothes, so after a week of that I bid a hearty adieu and promoted myself to the much more spacious women's dressing room. Luckily, those actresses were game, so I spent the next two months in the half-dressed company of Sarahann Elizabeth Rickner, Alleena Tribble, and Anjelica Wolf (now McMillan). I can tell you I've never had a better time rehearsing or performing a show in almost four decades on the boards.
Consider: I had a couple of fun scenes to perform, including a comically over-the-top impersonation of Richard Nixon. I got to bitch out David Frost and wear an awesome suit selected by Naarah McDonald. Then I got to sit there and emote with no lines for most of an act—which meant limited memorization! I believe that was the show on which I met Nic Olson, who was stage managing for Brie. I found Brie herself to be knowledgeable, passionate, smart, engaging, and in all respects the perfect ringleader for our merry circus. It was, at least from my point of view, a charmed show. It was how I met ASMs Jess Allan and Sergio Americo Vendetti. I'm looking at the program now and realizing how many wonderful people came together behind the scenes to make that show a success. They were all at the top of their game, and crowds were gracious and responsive in post-show Q&As.
Mostly, though, I remember the undergraduate-style camaraderie. I hadn't felt as joyous in my work since ECU. It brought back all the feelings of being in my HOUSE, the place I was meant to be at the time I was meant to be there, and I saw very clearly how my talents meshed with so many others to form something richer than its parts. Four years later, I still consider most of these people dear friends, even the ones who drifted away on distant orbits. Shortly after Frost/Nixon closed, I was able to propose to Amanda Stevens, so I felt I'd been gifted with a two-month-long bachelor party. I would've done that show for years if it'd been an option. Amanda and I were married in May of 2011, and Brie Yost performed our wedding ceremony.
In the years since, actor Carv has had his ups and downs. As I said previously, I loved doing radio shows at Lakewood Playhouse. Performing 12 Angry Men there was a blast, and I have nothing but good things to say about the cast and experience of Angels in America, Parts 1 and 2 at Olympia Little Theatre—directed by Nic Olson. I directed Steve Tarry as the Great Detective in Sherlock's Last Case at Lakewood Playhouse, and Jess Allan as Susannah in Laughing Stock at OLT. Both shows were wonderfully rewarding experiences for me and, I gather, their fine casts.
I intend to direct The Credeaux Canvas somehow, somewhere, by the end of 2016. I might even self-produce in a found space, with attendance by invitation only. Amanda and I are currently rehearsing Tartuffe for Theater Artists Olympia, a rehearsal process that in some ways reminds me of that of Frost/Nixon. Maybe it's all the corsets. (Note: this was written before Tartuffe was performed. See my review here.)
Solving the Mystery of Edwin Drood at Lakewood Playhouse

The Mystery of Edwin Drood at Lakewood Playhouse is a deliciously funny romp through merrie olde England. Based on an unfinished novel by Charles Dickens, Drood is a musical comedy that asks the audience to vote on whodunit. What a fun and ingenious concept by Rupert Holmes, who wrote the book, music and lyrics. Holmes is a Gilbert and Sullivan fan and a lover of Victorian mysteries and English music hall, all of which play prominently in this production.
It is ably directed by Chris Serface, who played the part of Nick Criker in this same show at Capital Playhouse in 2004.
In the English music hall tradition, actors mingle with the audience as they are taking their seats, cajoling them to vote for them and to boo and hiss the villain, John Jasper (Gary Chambers). These antics prior to curtain seemed to be uproariously fun for most of the audience, but from where I was seated in a the middle of the middle section is was a babble — so I urge you to get seats close to the aisles if you want to join in the fun.
The story is a play within a play, with each actor playing an actor in London's Music Hall Royale, so Chambers plays Mr. Clive Paget as John Jasper and Christopher S. Cantrell plays Mr. Nick Criker as Durdles, and Brynn Garrett plays, plays Miss Alice Nutting, London's most famous male impersonator, as Edwin Drood. As in pantos and other English stage nuttiness, there are cross dressers and an emcee (Steve Tarry as Mr. William Cartwright) who constantly stops the action to deride the audience with quips both improvised and scripted. There is even a set of identical twins who are of different races and different genders (DuWayne Andrews, Jr. as Mr. Victor Grinstead as Neville Landless, and Heather Malroy as Miss Janet Conover as Helena Landless).
Lex Gernon's set replicates a seedy 19th century music hall with its box seats in the wings and tacky red curtains and his brilliant use of a moveable thrust. The costumes by Alex Lewington are both authentic looking and funny.
Steve Tarry is an absolute natural as the emcee who pokes fun at actors and audience alike and appears to be having a wonderful time doing it.
Chambers seems to equally enjoy playing the villain, plus he is articulate and sings wonderfully.
Another actor who falls into his role so naturally as to become the character is Cantrell. His every move and facial expression is entertaining, down to the slightest movemen
Shelleigh-Mairi Ferguson turns in a stellar performance as Miss Angela Prysock as the happiest of hookers, Princess Puffer.
Also outstanding are Jed Slaughter as Mr. Cedric Moncrieffe as Rev. Chrisparkle and Derek Hall as Mr. Phillip Bax as Bazzard. Like Malroy as Helena Landless and Noah Goucher as Master Nick Criker as Durdles, Hall overplays to the hilt and does it like a pro. Plus his voice is astounding on the solo performance of "Never the Luck."
There is some great music in the play provided by an eight-piece orchestra directed by Deborah Lynn Armstrong and some acrobatic dancing that is a treat to watch. The big numbers performed by the entire cast are particularly enjoyable. On some of the smaller numbers the music almost drowns out the singers.
At almost three hours, Drood is a little longer than I would have liked. By the time we got to the voting at the end I just wanted it to end. I wish Holmes had edited his script down closer to two hours. Other than these minor objections, I think it is a marvelously entertaining and delightfully bawdy musical romp. This weekend (((June 26-28) is the last chance to see it.

Jean Mandeberg's 'Now or Never'
"Gameboard" mixed media assemblage by Jean Mandeberg
"Keepers" mixed media assemblage by Jean Mandeberg. Photos courtesy Salon Refu
If you don't study them carefully, Jean Mandeberg's metal and mixed media assemblages at Salon Refu appear to be sweet wall decorations and little more, but if you make the effort to look carefully you'll see there's much more to them that meets the eye in a cursory glance.
There is a wry pop sensibility to Mandeberg's assemblages. They are inventive and full of surprises, and well composed. She employs classical balance and a creative use of repetition and, most enjoyable to me, a visual trope I always highly admire: the subtle and often surprising use of variety within unity. Repeat, repeat, repeat, and suddenly there's something different and unexpected.
By way of analogy, it's what Warhol did with his countless celebrity portraits with color changes and patterns within patterns of endlessly repeated images that were exactly alike yet different. Mandeberg does the same thing, but hers are much more nuanced.
Featured in this show are numerous assemblages made of what I would call cages, square boxes made up of a dozen or so inner boxes in a grid pattern that extend three or four inches from the wall with found or made objects inside each inner box. The boxes are made of woven wire, and the objects within repeat in alternating patterns. Also featured are similarly made objects that hang like totems on the wall with repetition and variety within a vertical pattern, and boxes covered with decorative tin sheeting taken from commercial containers such as coffee tins or lunch boxes.
She fills these assemblages with objects that in her hands become talismans, such as balls, dice, and enameled fortune strips of the kind found in cookies. The object in each seems to be a prayer for good luck.
There is a group of four that go together and represent popular games: bingo, bingo, bingo, and tic-tac-toe.
"Measuring Up" is a box made from four corner pieces made of wood and covered with decorative tin; they fit together to form a bowl. The printed images are of a boy in blue that looks like Gainsborough's famous "Blue Boy" and a similarly romanticized girl in a red dress. On each corner of the box is a length of tape measure, which hints at the double meaning of the title.
Another classically balanced piece using patterns within patterns is called "Dirty Roll." It's a square cage of woven wire with a die in each section in alternating red and blue. Many of them (again in alternating patterns) are stamped with the words "Olympia Washington" in gold letters. Along the outer edges are buttons with the word "Luck" on them. But in keeping with her penchant for subtle surprises, two of the buttons have finger prints instead of words.
Only one piece breaks the pattern of repetition within a grid. It is titled "Keepers," and it is a seeming random collection of various amulets such as a star cookie cutter, a bullet, dice, and a gloved hand. They are like the trophy heads of animals killed in the hunt.
These are interesting works of art with multiple meanings open to many interpretations.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- More than 191,000 pounds of ready-to-eat pork sausage products are being recalled due to a possible product contamination, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
Monogram Meat Snacks, LLC, a Martinsville, Va., establishment initiated the recall of about 191,928 pounds of the products due to product tampering following the production process, according to FSIS.
The pork sausages were produced and packaged for Conagra Brand and Duke's Meats Corp. on various dates between Jan. 16 and March 7, 2019.
Recalled products include 5-ounce and 16-ounce packages of pork sausage products with a variety of "best if used by" dates ranging from Jan. 11, 2020, to March 1, 2020.
5-oz. plastic pouches of "DUKE'S HICKORY PEACH BBQ SMOKED SHORTY SAUSAGES, Made with A PEACH BBQ RELISH," that contain a package and case code of 1580002003, and various BEST IF USED BY dates from Jan. 16, 2019 through Jan. 27, 2020.
The problem was discovered when the establishment confirmed that the product was distributed into U.S. commerce, according to FSIS. The agency said there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Those concerned about an injury or illness should contact a health care provider.
Consumers who purchased the products are urged not to consume them. The items should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
Last week, Butterball announced it was recalling about 39 tons of raw ground turkey products because they may contain Salmonella. According to FSIS, five patients from two states have fallen ill.
The products were packaged on July 7, 2018.

Which two quantities are being compared?
The elapsed time and the height of the fallen snow.
Which quantity is the independent variable? Which quantity is the dependent variable?
Time is independent and the snow height is dependent. The height of the snow depends on the amount of time that has elapsed.
Is this relationship proportional? How do you know?
Yes; the ratio of the height to the time is the same for each pair of values in the table.
How can you determine how much snow fell each hour during this storm?
Divide the height of the snow by the number of hours for that height.
Does it matter which pair of values you use to find the rate at which the snow fell?
How much snow fell each hour during this storm?
4 inches per hour; the constant of proportionality is the unit rate.
What equation can you write to represent the relationship between the time and the height of the fallen snow?
