The Christian lives for others. Their entire life is directed by the question, how will this bring glory to God the Father and God the Son? This is the same desire of Jesus as he lived and as he went to the cross. Jesus never wasted a moment. He never passed by an opportunity to point others to why he came and who the Father is. In the same way, those who belong to him make a specific effort to point other Christians and non-Christians (outsiders) to God the Father and to God the Son. Not just in action, but also in speech. If Jesus never told us who he was and why he came we would not be able to be saved. If we never tell others who Jesus is and why he came they will never be saved. Jesus was not just a good man. He was, and is, the Savior of the world; a Savior who died for his enemies; a Savior who died for those who hated his Father.
Do you know who Christ is? Then obey him? Do you want to know who Christ is? Then ask a Christian. Christian, how are you living differently from those around you to demonstrate your obedience to Jesus? Christian, how will you respond to the question, "who is Jesus?" Christian, who will you tell about Jesus?
Thank you for your gracious and wise Son. Forgive me for not making the best use of my time. Please teach me how to redeem my time in the morning, at work, with the family, and during recreation for the sake of teaching others about your Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus, thank you for living and teaching in a way that I could know who you are. Teach me how to do the same. Amen.

IL Self-Storage Developer Battles City for Approval
A self-storage developer in OFallon, Ill., continues to battle with the city council over a proposed self-storage facility in an industrial area along a major highway.
Barry Hayden, who hopes to build a vinyl-sided self-storage center among metal buildings in an industrial area, has met with the citys planning committee four times.
At a city community development meeting in January, it was suggested the facility be structured from concrete block or brick. Hayden said it would be too expensive to be cost-effective. He did, however, agree to use brick on the ends of the building, leaving the front and sides in vinyl. The city council rejected the idea and the plans were sent back to the committee. There is nothing in the OFallon ordinances that require masonry buildings in industrial zones.
The committee insists its not just about aesthetics, but also longevity. Hayden had originally proposed metal siding for the facility. After some discussion, the committee will ask the city council to consider the same proposal: brick ends with a vinyl side and front. The council will consider the plans on Feb. 7.

Do I really need to upgrade the firmware in my Spektrum Transmitter?
Yes. Follow the instructions in the Guide. With the new iX12, updates occur automatically over the Google Play Store.
You will receive a digital download of the Guide in .pdf format along with .spm or .ispm templates you import into your Transmitter. You must read the Guide on full size computer screen. It is not intended to be read on Kindle or a smart phone. Print the Guide on your home printer.
How soon do I get it?
If payment is by credit / debit card or by PayPal, you will receive an email within seconds of receipt of proof of payment or as quickly as your server updates your email inbox. Other payment options, such as e-check, will send the email as soon as the e-check clears the bank.
You will receive an email asking you to click on a button or two. Click on all the buttons. If you did not receive an email, please check your spam filter. If you used a work email, please check the work server spam filter. If your PayPal account uses a different email address than the one used to order the product, the system sent the information to the email address associated with your PayPal account.
It's been a week or I just received a request for a review and I still don't have anything.
My online store is fully automated. Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing if someone does not receive the download email. You must contact me as soon as you have gone through the steps in the above question first. I can verify if payment was received and how many, if any, downloads occurred and fix the problem.
I clicked the download button, where did the files go?
This depends on your computer and operating system. The latest systems will ask you if you want to "Save" or "Save To" or "Save As." If you just click "Save" the files will be found on your hard drive in a folder named "Downloads." If you click "Save To" you will be asked to identify or create the folder where you want to the files. You can also save directly to the SD Card.
I found the files, now what?
Double click on the file with the .pdf extension. Depending on your computer, the file will open automatically in a PDF reader or in your browser. If you have an old computer, you may need to download a free Adobe Acrobat Reader from the internet.
Double click on the file with the .zip extension and extract the files. (there can be as many as five) Copy these files to the SD card and follow the instructions in the Guide on importing the file(s) to the transmitter.
You need a computer with a SD card reader. Use the SD card to import the files to your transmitter. With The DX Transmitters, it is recommended to use a Class 4 or slower SD card with a capacity of less than 32Gig.
Any SD card will work in the new iX12.
I imported a template and got the following error message, "779 'Centertone' Invalid Selection Name."
This message or one similar occurs when the prepared template contains a feature that became available in a version of the firmware newer than the one in your transmitter. Update your firmware.
I have heard that a template built on one radio will work on all radios, is that correct?
Yes, what you heard is correct. Airware, the name of the software / firmware used by Spektrum is common across the entire line of radios sold today. But there are distinctions. Some lesser capable radios do not have all of the switches, knobs or sliders of the more capable radios. In other situations, software features found in more capable radios are not available is lesser radios. An example would be a spm file built on a DX18 will work on a DX6. However, if the template uses the side sliders, because the DX6 does not have side sliders, those features are unavailable on the DX6.
Another example is found in the guide for DLG. at the time this guide was written only the DX9, DX18 G2 and DX20 came with a sequencer that appeared in the menu. If you import this file to a Transmitter where sequencer does not appear in the menu, the sequencer continues to work in these radios. The only difference is that the sequencer cannot be modified in those Transmitters. Feedback confirms that over 90% of those using this template on transmitter without a sequencer in the menu, don't want to change the 2 second period the Zoom Mode is in effect, so this is typically not a problem.
Finally, there might be channel limitations. There are two guides for the Radian Pro which uses six servos plus a motor. The DX6 guide is a channel short so it uses a Y-harness for the flaps which reduces the available features and the ability to fine tune the individual flaps. The Radian Pro guide for radios with 7 or more channels does not use a Y-harness providing more programming flexibility.
Finally, files from a DX Transmitter (SPM) can be shared with a iX12 (iSPM). Unfortunately, the only similarity in voices between the DX Transmitters and the iX12 is the speaker. Which means, the core programming will transfer, but you will have to manually setup any voices.
Do I really have to upgrade the firmware in my existing radio?
YES. Even if you just purchased the radio, there is no telling how long it had been sitting in inventory. As long as the Firmware version in your radio is the same or newer version than indicated on the cover page of the guide, everything will work just fine. Visit and register with the Spektrum Community website to check your firmware status for DX Transmitters and check the Google App Store for iX Transmitters.
I purchased a used radio and cannot set up an account or register the Transmitter on the Spektrum Community Website.
The seller must unregister the radio before you can set up a new account or add the Transmitter to your existing account. If you can't find the seller, you will need to contact the service desk at Horizon Hobby.
Will you help on a case by case basis?
Generally, I just dont have the time. I do not take phone calls on programming issues. I do respond to questions raised on the RCGroups threads dedicated to Spektrum Transmitters and sailplanes. Ask your specific questions there. I do not design custom programs to satisfy the requirements of a particular model or pilots desires. I just dont have the time.
Which is the best product for the following sailplanes?
E Flight Mystique 2.9 from Horizon Hobby: DX9, DX18 and DX20 with a motor and iX12 with a motor.
Do you respond to email?
Yes I do. Unfortunately, I dont check this email every day. Red Sailplane is more of a hobby so I do not receiver emails on my cell phone. It may take several days before you see a response to an email.

We will provide you with some excellent tips to make your Wedding day, a memorable event of your Day. Please Note that these tips are from our experiences.
The date is very important factor in any event. Always try to fix a date where you get time to plan your event. 2-3 months after the engagement will be ample time for planning.
Always seek advice from your close circle of friends and relatives regarding their convenience to attend the event, after all their blessings are a must.
Generally, more walk-ins are expected on holidays, if your friends circle are large and will not fit into your fingers, and you have a strong urge to invite all of them, fix it on a Saturday or Sunday. They will have no excuses to spare regarding taking a leave !!
If you want to fill your home with relatives, fix it on a Monday..They will come on Saturday, spend Their Sunday at your home and Leave on the Wedding Day.
Venue is a very important factor in any event.
Count your invitees…to get the approximate walk ins numbers here are a few tips.
If your wedding day comes in a week day – Count your invitees + their family members minus(minus) 40% will give you approximate walk ins, although so many other factors are prevailing.
If your wedding day comes in a weekend – Count your invitees + their family members minus(minus) 20% will give you approximate walk ins, although so many other factors are prevailing.
Fix up a venue which can accommodate the number of invitees.
Go for a venue close to your residence, so you can save a lot in conveyance.
Discuss with your friends and relatives about the venue, and take their suggestions.
Always personally go and visit the venue once to see you have all facilities.
look for ample parking space, these days people find it very convenient to come in their own cars.
If there is a security to manage the parking space, engage him (normally the care taker of the venue will manage this) else find a security agency for that.
Look for the dining area, check whether the taps are working, ask the manager about the water availability, cleaning personnel etc. check for the overall cleanliness.
If your event dates falls in a rainy season, always go for a shamiyana in front of the venue.
If you find a venue which satisfies 80% of your requirements (no one can satisfy you 100%) BOOK IT !!. Normally they take a token advance for booking. Remember to take receipt from them and check and re-check on the date. an alteration will change your LIFE !!!
If the venue is a Hotel, they don't charge the rent for the Hall, provided we take food from them.
Make a note of the caretakers contact number and ask for alternate numbers. We had instances where the only mobile number available was out of coverage area and we where like in hell. collect all the possible contact numbers.
food is the way to a man's heart!!
Search for the best catering agency in town and inquire them on the specialties they offer.
short list the agencies and taste their food or discuss with people who have tasted their food.
Bargain with them, for the best rates. You have an authority to bargain when the number of pax goes up.
After you have finalized them book them with only a minimum advance and always ask for a receipt.
If you have a reception happening (apart from marriage) book that too.
If you have friends and relatives staying in your home you can always order food from the same agency for the pre-event day, You got a chance to taste their food !!
Always try to sign a contract with them with all the copies of menu you have ordered and the facilities they are providing, not to forget about the number of pax.
Engage one of your friends / relative to look after the catering.
Vegetarian : Non-Vegetarian Ratio is normally 30:70 but now-a-days, more people are diet conscious and switched to Vegetarian meals.
Always have a meeting with the counter boys / servers before the start of the event. Ask them to serve properly and according to the guest requirement.
Ask the supervisor of the servers / counter boys to make them dress clean and tidy, if they are not, dismiss them. After all you are paying for all these !!
Carry a notepad with you from the date you have finalized the venue and date, NEXT is invitation. However hard you try, there will be people you will miss, a handy note pad will help you minimize this.
Expand the list with the help of your friends and relatives.
Take references and suggestions from your near and dear…(Don't forget to jot it down ).
Write down the names on the envelopes and keep it safe.
segregate the invitees location wise, and then route wise.
Create a map for the exact location and spread it along with your online invitation. click here for google map creation.
IT's ALL SET….WAIT FOR THE DAY !!!!
Engage one or two of your close relatives to receive the guests at the entrance.
If decor is going on at the venue, please make time to visit, or engage someone to do so.
If you have more than 25 Km from your residence to venue, make sure you are staying at a Hotel close to the venue, this will reduce lot of tensions.
Engage your parents (some one responsible) to keep all your marriage costumes and ornaments in one suitcase.


I remember seeing this video ages ago, on MTV, when I was about 12 years old. I haven't seen it much since, although I vaguely remember it popping up from time to time, perhaps on Cartoon Network. It was created by animator John R. Dilworth, who later went on to create Courage the Cowardly Dog. I really like this comical style, and it fits in neatly with the 90's cartoon style, shared by the likes of Ren & Stimpy.
Just recently I stumbled across the clip again (Youtube can be awesome for this melancholic stuff) and I still love it.

Portobello Road is een straat in de wijk Notting Hill in het Londense district Kensington and Chelsea.
De straat is internationaal vermaard vanwege de markt, die velerlei zaken te bieden heeft op alle dagen van de week, maar vooral het zaterdagse aanbod van tweehandsartikelen en antiek is populair. De markt behoort tot de meestbezochte toeristische attracties in de stad.

De naam van de straat verwijst naar de verovering van een hoeveelheid Spaans zilver door admiraal Edward Vernon in 1739 bij het toenmalige Puerto Bello, nu Portobelo in Panama.

Halverwege de 19e eeuw was de straat nog een eenvoudig landweggetje in een groen gebied met weidevelden en boomgaarden dat de verbinding vormde tussen Portobello Farm en het toenmalige Notting Hill. In de tweede helft van die eeuw groeide dit geleidelijk uit tot verbindingsweg tussen de huidige woonwijken Paddington en Notting Hill. De handel en andere werkgelegenheid bloeide er op door de nabijheid van de woningen van welgestelden.

De huidige bevolking heeft een gemengde samenstelling, wat zorgt voor een levendige sfeer en cultuur, met een keur van internationale restaurants en cafés.

Cat Stevens bezong de straat in zijn liedje Portobello Road, de achterkant van zijn single I Love My Dog uit 1966, de Britse band Blur zingt in het nummer Blue Jeans (op het album Modern Life Is Rubbish) over deze straat en de Britse band Dire Straits zingt over de straat in het nummer Portobello Belle uit 1979.

I have been eagerly awaiting this weekend. I'm not sure why, either. I don't have anything special planned, no big event or party. I think that, with the onset of spring and pregnancy, I am just enjoying my weekends more.
When I was a kid, Saturdays represented freedom–freedom from school and teachers, the freedom to sleep in, and the freedom to sit in front of the television and waste hours of my day watching Saturday morning cartoons. Go Thunder, Thunder, Thunder Cats!
Sleeping in. I already mentioned it, but I'll say it again. The weekends are for sleeping in. The sad thing is, I rarely do sleep in. I have two little people who spring from bed like jumping beans, ready to play, talk, and eat–all at the same time. My hubster, though, is kind and does let me sleep in on occasion. He drags himself from bed and feeds the little monkeys while I cover my head with a pillow, grasping on to another 60 minutes of sleep. Heaven.
Errands. For those of you who have seen Old School starring Will Ferrel, you will know what I'm talking about…"Bed, Bath and Beyond…I don't know. I don't know if we'll have enough time." I love running Saturday errands. Maybe it's a chick thing, but a nice trip to Target can set everything right (Home Depot ain't bad either). Thankfully, my husband is usually game, too. We drag the kids along, load up my purse with a variety of snacks to keep them entertained, and away we go.
Pancakes and bacon. I usually reserve this breakfast for Saturday mornings. The house begins to smell so delicious. We sit down and pig out. Saturday bliss.
Naps. Um, needs I say more? Oh, and if you can score a nap on a day you also happened to sleep in, well then, you are my hero. Enough said.
Family events. Usually one weekend of the month is filled with some sort of family event, whether it's a wedding, a birthday, a graduation, or a time to just hang out. I love my family and love spending time with them, especially on Saturdays.
Lounging around. I am really good at lounging around. I'm a professional lounger, in fact. There was nothing like a first trimester of pregnancy to help me perfect the art of lounging, either. There were days when neither myself nor my kids were taken out of their pajamas. I'm not proud, but at the time, I was satisfied. Our family lounges well on the weekends. We watch movies, eat popcorn, read books, sit on our patio, and enjoy the day. Basically, we do nothing and it is so good.
We are only given 52 weekends a year (give or take). We should make them count. What are your favorite Saturday things? What do you love to do? Heck, while we're at it, anything you dislike about Saturdays?
Two words: LIE INS. (Or sleeping in as you funny Yanks say). Particularly in winter but still delightful in summer. To me, there is almost nothing as delicious as waking up slowly, cosily, and knowing that I can stay in bed for as long as I want. Rolling over and snuggling with my duvet and my teddy bear (his name's Blacks, since we're on the subject). It's even better in winter because I can have my electric blanket on, keeping me super-warm while it's cold outside!
Now I want a lie-in. But I have five university assignments due in the next 11 days, and I have SO MUCH to do. So tomorrow I'll be up at 8am, ready to start work at 9 and work through till gone midnight… I did choose this, right?!
I love the expression "lie in." It is so appropriate too because half the time I'm not really sleeping, so much as just lying in bed trying to sleep, drifting between laziness and grogginess.
Well, Rachel, I hope once assignments are over and you have worked your booty off, you can enjoy some great lie-ins!
Saturdays are pretty good days. I usually take them as outside time if at all possible. I plan a trip to the local zoo or park or museum with outside stuff. We pack a picnic and go.
It's also the one day I know my children's father is usually around, so I love the extra help I get.
A new love, which I am completely hooked on, is I usually take Saturday's to bust out some ZUMBA (which is an exercise dvd). Makes me sweat and feel great, saves me a drive to the gym and cracks me up to boot, watching a 3 yr old shimmy.
Time to catch up on the internet!!!
I know quite a few ladies who are hooked on Zumba. They have tried to convert me, but alas, I prefer sitting on my rump.
I also love sunbathing. I put on a little sunscreen, for wrinkle prevention, and then soak up the rays. So nice.
I love your list Ade. Always so creative and fun.


Lisa and Bryan's wedding was filled with emotion and tradition. When they saw each other for their first look both of them shed sweet tears and the tears continued for Lisa as she saw her dad for the first time and fell into his arms just like she did when she was a little girl. Their Christian faith was the cornerstone of their relationship as they sought to honor God in both the ceremony and reception. It was also evident that this wedding day was more than a formality or just some fun party. Throughout the day, they held their parents in high esteem as they honored them at the wedding for the foundation that they had laid for Lisa and Bryan and the mantle of legacy that they would now be responsible to carry out. The simple but classy feel to the wedding echoed Lisa and Bryan's passionate, beautiful and loving personalities. The night ended with one of the best parties we have been to all year and in 10 years of photographing weddings it had the absolute best (most hilarious) toast put on by the best man. We couldn't love these two any more and we are so grateful for having had the opportunity to capture their amazing wedding day!

Let's all give a big thanks to Sorgelig for porting the SMS core! It works really well!
Thank you Sorgelig !! Great port!
I uploaded a short video captured from he HDMI Output.
At the moment the core does not offer any filter options for the picture. However some filtering appears to be applied.
While the VGA output looks nice and sharp, the HDMI output produces artifacts around object borders and looks blurry.
Still very decent port and a huge improvement compared to the existing MiST version. Great addition to the MiSTer core line up.
Actually i regret the time i spent for porting this core. Compatibility with games are very low.
So, don't expect much from this core.
It's still a good example of how to port a core, so it's no wasted effort. Plus the games that do work are fun!
I'm always happy to see a new core ported over to MiSTer.
Testing with the FPGA's built-in RAM seemed to fix issues.
I decided I wanted to figure out how the SDRAM access worked, so I messed around with it. I made a change in my fork, and several games seem to run much better. For example, Psycho Fox and Alex Kidd - Lost Stars were both randomly resetting. They appear to be stable now. Feel free to test.
Great to see your are making progress on this. Also I noticed some random resets in other Arcade cores (e.g. Moon Patrol). Could be completely unrelated but maybe an easy way to investigate sdram issues. Assuming these cores are less complex of course.
Arcade cores don't use SDRAM.
It's possible some arcades may have protection against clones and it wasn't implemented - this is just guess. It's possible the core bug. But you need to understand that arcade cores don't use a common underlying computer core. Every arcade is its own custom system. Moon Patrol for example is the only core with such hardware.
If you think Moon Patrol has bugs, then talk to Darfpga as he already worked on improvements for this arcade.
SDRAM problem is just a part of problems on this core. VDP needs a lot of improvements.
Originally i've thought i could re-use VDP from Genesis, but it turned out Genesis games don't use SMS video mode and thus it's not a part of Genesis core. So, SMS VDP needs to be developed separately.
I suggest to adapt the sdram module from Genesis core as it's synchronous to CPU. In SMS, only CPU can access the ROM, so it's easy to make SDRAM transparent.
Testing greyrogue changes , some games work much better like sagaia, shadow of the beast or Solomon no kagi .
Fixed several initialization issues. Games should boot up a little more consistently now.
While I was in there, I added save support. Tested with Golden Axe Warrior, and appears to work.
Tested the last changes , some more games now work , like rtype , or Robocop 3.
thans for you work .
Soon i will apply latest framework changes and release the binary.
Picture is sometimes not centered and a little bit cutoff by VGA now.
@PhantombrainM I see the same on my PVM. The picture is shifted a bit too much to the left.
Keep in mind this may be in keeping with original hardware though, if you have a real SMS I'd suggest comparing. It could just be that video timings are now accurate.
Video timings are difficult to replicate as they are not very well documented and can only really be replicated by studdying the originals with an oscilloscope.
hsync position will be adjusted in future release.
Noticed something interesting with the latest SMS core release.
HDMi from the MiSTer into my monitor. Audio comes out fine.
However hdmi into my capture device and there is no audio.
I haven't tested any older SMS cores, but is this a possible bug?
Patched Game Gear games seem to work on the SMS Core, with minor caveats (missing start button).
At the momennt i only teste GG Shinobi. It works fine.
You can find the IPS patches on the SMS Power website.
jayp76 wrote: Just a heads up.
good idea. will investigate it.
This new version of the SMS core has totally changed how things look and SOUND! The new PSG implementation is much better, almost perfect, and graphics garbage is gone.
-Lord of the Sword has blitting problems everywhere: most scenario tiles seem to have a black background.
-The same defect can be seen in WonderBoy 3: The dragon's trap, during the fight with mecha dragon, when you hit the dragon.
-In Castle of Ilusion, there's a small green block on the top-right edge on the screen during the copyright text display.
Does anyone know if SG-1000 games are compatible with this core or if they'll be added at some point?
I can't get any games to load. Only boot loader screen. What's the trick? Am I missing something. The files are in my SMS directory.


Bring Me The Horizon are a group that has generated a significant amount of buzz in recent months in the build-up to their sixth studio album release. Much has been made throughout the hype for Amo, with the album's experimentalism being a trump card and the group's major strength. It certainly stands the group in excellent stead opening the album up, with a bundle of perfectly sequenced tracks confidently driving the group into new territories, but it doesn't maintain this quite as radically as some corners are making out.
I Apologise If You Feel Something kicks proceedings off, and is an intriguing curtain-raiser, all gentle synth bleeps and bloops and skittering electronic rhythms that certainly weren't the center of the frame on their studio albums back in the day. This leads neatly into more familiar cacophony in the form of Mantra - the explosive first single's meaty main guitar riff and super catchy chorus fully arrest with little breaks and vocal pauses as it winds back of sound into a more electronic-based backing track. Nihilist Blues confidently picks things up hot on its heels, flying out of orbit into trance heavy synths with a thumping breakdown, a reverb-laden Grimes interjecting amidst the maelstrom. Before you've had time to fully absorb either track the album takes another confident turn in the form of In The Dark, a mostly successful pop-oriented track with a catchy, sultry guitar lick propelling the verses and an equally catchy chorus that builds as a repeated refrain, with a big string arrangement marching in on top. The Dani Filth fuelled track, Wonderful Life, clatters into the picture from a completely different soundscape, a twin assault of overdriven bass lines and raspy aggressive drum sounds while Filth's trademark vocals hammer home another chant-like hymn of a chorus.
Only once we are into Ouch - which seems to serve as an ambient bookend of sorts with its vocal samples and syncopated chattering beats - do we get a chance to catch our breath at what is a ballsy and well-spliced array of tracks, each offering something different to the last. Where Amo loses its way a little is that this is then a formula that repeats after this bookend with less successful results.
Although the band have pushed Medicine as a single, it offers nothing memorable. In The Dark is a more successful variant on the type of structure it adopts. And likewise, subsequent tracks start to self-reference the initial bundle with diminishing returns. Sugar Honey Ice And Tea ramps up the bass overdrive together with another beefy drum track, but there's nothing here that Wonderful Life doesn't do more effectively on this front, and the vocal processing on the choruses actually starts to detract from the music. Of the latter tracks, Why You Gotta Kick Me When I'm Down? is probably the most interesting, blending an explicit vocal take with a child chorus backing, electronic music woven with more orchestral sonics in a strangely captivating mixture of pop sensibilities.
Overall, Amo is a strident record, difficult to categorize and, in a good way, uniquely spliced and sequenced with little fear of crossing boundaries - but part of mastering this dark art is knowing when to put the paintbrush down.

Redding police chief who lost his home helps neighbors evacuate amid 'fire tornado'
A firefighter douses flames on a burning home Friday as the massive Carr fire swept through Redding.
(Josh Edelson / AFP/Getty Images)
By Joseph Serna
Redding Police Chief Roger Moore spent Thursday evening evacuating his neighbors from their River Ridge homes.
As he and his fellow officers moved door to door shuffling residents out, Moore said he saw a whirling tower of flames reaching into the sky.
"I look up and see what I would describe as a fire tornado," said Moore, who took over as Redding's top cop in September. "It was 400 or 500 feet tall, 100 feet wide and it was just destroying everything in its path. It was making a sound like a jet engine, making its own weather pattern.
"It was chaos," said Moore, who was working only on an hour's night sleep Friday.
Moore and two other officers lost their homes to the fire.
"I would say I'm on auto-pilot right now because a job has to be done," the chief said. "But the wife and kids, they're anxious and nervous and sad."
Moore said they managed to save their valuables — photos and important documents — but he's not sure everyone in Redding was so lucky.
"I don't think we were prepared," he said. "No one expected that, and we all thought it would be contained."
He estimates at least 100 homes were destroyed in the terrifying hours overnight that the Carr fire overwhelmed crews, jumped the Sacramento River and raced into foothill neighborhoods in western Redding in Northern California.
Not only was River Ridge hard hit, he said, but so were Sunset Terrace and Salt Creek, a new subdivision that just went up.
Two firefighters have been killed and three injured along with several civilians, authorities said in enumerating the fire's human toll.
On Wednesday night, wind gusts drove the fire down from the mountains into Whiskeytown, where it burned dozens of boats at Whiskeytown Lake. On Thursday, the winds returned and pushed the fire into Redding, nearly doubling in size to 44,450 acres along the way. The fire was 3% contained Friday.
Forecasters say firefighters won't see a break from the heat that's been hampering their efforts until at least the middle of next week and temperatures are expected to top 100 degrees every day through Tuesday, at least.
For Moore, the takeaway for the community is to be prepared when fire approaches. He said some residents were reluctant to flee and when it came time to go, the rural town's roads were completely jammed.
"Get a box ready and know in your mind what you need to take and have a plan on where you're going to go," he said.

New perspectives on a century of artistic activity in New York's Mid-Hudson Valley.
Bringing to light over 150 works of art and the myriad connections that link them together, Linking Collections, Building Connections presents fresh perspectives on a century of artistic activity in the Mid-Hudson Valley. The exhibition on which the book was based gathered together paintings, sculptures, furnishings, prints, drawings, photographs, conceptual works, and documentation and ephemera from the permanent collections of the partner organizations of the Hudson Valley Visual Art Collections Consortium (HVVACC).
The HVVACC organizations—the Center for Photography at Woodstock, the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, Women's Studio Workshop, Woodstock Artists Association & Museum, and the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild—are developing an online visual database, a series of events and publications, and a regional collection study and exhibition center. Together, the collections of these five partner organizations are a significant regional resource, and Linking Collections, Building Connections is part of a long-range project to make these collections available to scholars and the public.
Brian Wallace was the curator at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art. Ariel Shanberg is Executive Director of the Center for Photography at Woodstock. Abigail Duckor is studying art history at the State University of New York at New Paltz.


It was not long ago when the Edison Electric Illuminating company supplied 600kW of energy from 6-dynamos to 85 customers. Just in a gap of 125 years the world has changed so much that 20,000 TWh of electric power is generated and supplied to 7 billion customers all over the world, a fact that all Electrical engineers can be proud of.
With the world seeking a solution to meet the existing power crisis, this article takes you through a long-term vision, "Electricity scenario in the year 2050". This is just a statement ensuring we work hard to give the future generation a power crisis free world to work with.
The demand for electricity is definitely going to increase by the year 2050 as the use of fossil fuel must be substituted and as of now the only available substitute is electric power.
The electric power demand is nearly 100% times the demand of 2010. The graph is obtained from values based on optimal power system solutions. The value of 40,000 TWh is certainly the best case scenario. If electricity is used for charging vehicles in the future the demand will certainly go up.
The energy which is available for consumption is more or less going to be the same for the next 50 years.
The table below represents the electric power produced and the energy consumed to produce electric power.
Primary Energy Consumption is expressed in Mtoe (Million tonnes Oil equivalent).
Electric Power Generated is expressed in TWh.
The graph clearly shows that most of the energy input is consumed in the transformation of one form of energy to another. At present, Coal, Oil and gas power plants contribute around 65% of the power generated. As the efficiency of these three power plants is pretty much less than 50%, the overall efficiency is confined to a lesser than 50%. If the average efficiency is increased to a value of 75% then the power crisis ghost will not be able to haunt us in the future years. The graph is based on the values obtained from eurelectric.
The supply of oil and gas fuels which are the major contributors as of now, will decline very steeply during the mid of the 21st century, as you can see from the energy use by source table.
The power produced due to solar, tidal and hydro energy is expected to be pretty much higher than the anticipated value in the graph. The graph was created by "Paul Chefruka". So, a sincere thanks to Paul.
Nuclear energy is not desired by nations, as most of the nations and organizations are only willing to use a renewable resource and are planning to their best to reduce the emission of CO2, the use of nuclear energy is not expected to play a major role in power production.
I cannot even think of a day in my life without electricity. Even if we are able to meet the demand, Can we guarantee continuous supply? If a war occurs between two nations, the power supplying stations would be the first target. What would we do at that time? Despite producing surplus energy what would happen in case of a pole shift? The electricity distribution would be indefinitely halted. These kinds of situations are really worrying.
With current developments in the research of using non-conventional energy sources, the year 2050 would definitely be an energy crisis free year. Organisations discussing and writing about 85%, 90%, 95% and 100% use of renewable energy consumption are very pleasing. The report of WWF, "Energy report, 100% renewable energy by 2050" is very promising. With countries discussing about reducing CO2 emission, 2050 will be a year where energy would be produced without harming the nature.
As mentioned the electricity generated will definitely meet the demand. Instead of using technical terms and discussing various technical strategies, one of the best ways of generating electricity is saving electricity. "The electricity saved is the electricity generated without depleting any resource ". We should use electric power responsibly. Even if a situation comes where we have surplus electric power, electricity should not be used unnecessarily. Using electricity without any limit just because it is available in large quantity and that you pay for the power used is not a good attitude.
We have over the years planned so many methods of producing electricity, including the renewable and the eco-friendly techniques to generate electricity. It is up to the future generations to take the lead and produce electricity without compromising the safety of our planet.
What's your opinion about this scenario? What do you think the world will be in 2050? Are you optimistic or pessimistic?
or copy this trackback: http://engineering.electrical-equipment.org/others/year-2050-in-terms-of-electrical-power-scenario.html/trackback from your own site.
The article as a whole is interesting to read through. One major subject that we are missing here is the chart against energy saving activities that is implemented through out the world. If the data is VS with energy generation. we can have a better understanding on the energy vs energy saving initiatives.
I can say with confidence that I'm one of the few looking and developing a new technology for and creating Electricity, let me explain, the generator has not changed much other then coils, phase, ect.
more than two times of the present level.

New radio drama premieres on Newstalk this weekend
This weekend, Drama on Newstalk will broadcast the premiere of new radio drama "Secrets" in which IMRO-nominated producer Brian Gallagher travels back in time to a seaside holiday in Sixties Ireland, during which two women face an intriguing moral dilemma.
"Secrets" tells the story of the extended Lawlor family who take a seaside holiday in Bray, County Wicklow, in 1964. Unaware that such holidays will be soon made redundant by package holidays to sun destinations, they go about their usual two-week break. Despite the surface good humour, tensions are evident in the family dynamic, and when the Lawlors cross paths with a holidaying Scottish family the seeds are sown for a dramatic outcome.
The 1964 scenes are viewed through the eyes of twelve-year-old Damian Lawlor, while simultaneously the now-adult Damian looks back on the action. Reappraising the moral choices of that summer, over fifty years later, giving Damian another dilemma now as he has to decide whether or not to leave the past undisturbed.
Starring Aonghus Og McAnally, Mark O'Regan, Mary Murray, Marion O'Dwyer, and Claudia Carroll, "Secrets" was written and produced by Brian Gallagher. The programme was funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland with the Television License Fee.
BROADCAST TIMES: "Secrets" will be broadcast on Newstalk 106-108fm on Sunday 26th January at 7am with repeat broadcast on Saturday 1st February at 9pm

Instagram Looks Even Better After Big Ad Deal With Omnicom Group
Published by Jeff Ferguson on March 28, 2014
Instagram is far from the largest social network – that would be Facebook, which purchased Instagram from its Bay Area-based founders for a cool $1 billion in 2012.
But the wildly popular and easily-implemented photo- and video-sharing app is certainly one of the "hottest" and fastest-rising social networks around. Then again, when you consider that it was snatched up by Facebook just 551 days after its launch, it's safe to say that Instagram has always been hot.
Even so, things just keep getting hotter.
And the picture of Instagram as a dominant aspect of American life just keeps on developing.
According to the latest Social Summary report from GlobalWebIndex, Instagram boasted the largest growth rate of all social networks between the second and fourth quarters of 2013, spiking around 23% in usage.
And per Nielsen data, Instagram's overall audience surged 66% in 2013, making it the fastest-growing app of the year. Some reports, including statements from Facebook insiders, claim that Instagram currently counts more than 150 million users.
Thanks to a recent deal with global advertising and marketing holding company Omnicom Group, Instagram's overall exposure, audience and popularity stand poised to surge even wider and deeper. And one can imagine that the social network's bottom line is also primed for an explosion.
As first reported by renowned advertising industry publication AdAge in early March, Omnicom Group (also known simply as Omnicom) has entered into a large-scale advertising pact with Instagram. Both partners confirmed that a deal had been struck, but declined to discuss details.
AdAge first reported that the New York-based holding company was ready to spend up to $100 million on Instagram over the next year. Another source later told Social Daily that "the price tag is inaccurate," but it's hard to imagine that the amount won't be something rather massive.
Afterall, Omnicom ranks as the world's top corporate media services conglomerate, overseeing an international network of more than 1,500 agencies and providing services for more than 5,000 clients in 100-plus countries. That sprawling agency network includes BBDO, DDB Worldwide, TBWA Worldwide, Diversified Agency Services (DAS) and Omnicom Media Group (also known as OMG). And those agencies provide marketing and communications services in the fields of advertising, customer relationship management (CRM), strategic media planning and buying, interactive and digital marketing, direct and promotional marketing, public relations (PR) and other specialty communications.
Along with WPP, Interpublic and Publicis, Omnicom ranks as one of the "Big Four" agency companies in today's ever-shifting advertising industry.
"Instagram will work closely with OMG's creative agencies to develop best practices for content that inspires and engages the Instagram community," a source close to the situation told MediaPost's Social Media & Marketing Daily shortly after the deal had been made official. "Not a typical agency deal…this partnership extends beyond traditional media relationships."
For its part, Instagram claimed the deal won't change much about the platform that endeared it to so many users – or run any of those loyal or newer users off – but will instead only make the photo-swapping social media platform stronger.
"Our teams are going to work hand in hand to develop and execute campaigns that provide people with amazing imagery – and drive meaningful business results for advertisers," Instagram Director of Market Operations Jim Squires said in a statement to AdAge.
"This doesn't change our advertising strategy moving forward. People will continue to see a limited number of beautiful, high–quality photos and videos from select brands who already have a strong presence on Instagram."
No matter how this all shakes out, it's obviously a huge deal. Yes, AdAge estimates the overall value of the agreement at "up to $100 million," but who knows what it will be worth to the surging social network before it's all said and done? Only time will tell.
Of course, any kind of advertising is both new and news for Instagram, which has only been in the ad game in any capacity since late 2013. So far, so good, however. A recent Intelligence Report from L2 ThinkTank found that Instagram outshone other social media platforms in 2013, especially among prestige brands. Among other findings, the report discovered that a massive 93% of prestige brands are now present on Instagram – up a whopping 30% from 63% in July 2013.
In fact, a prestige brand, Michael Kors, was the first to advertise on Instagram, running a sponsored photo of a Michael Kors ladies watch displayed on a table, with a caption reading "Pampered in Paris." Instagram users registered in the U.S. saw the ad…even if they weren't actively "following" the Michael Kors brand page.
Fellow fashion brand Marc Jacobs is also white-hot on Instagram now, and now counts more than 1.1 million people in its Instagram community. During New York Fashion Week, Marc Jacobs used its Instagram feed to tease its various runway shows, and promote that they were also being live-streamed on MarcJacobs.com.
"Instagram has demonstrated more traction than any other platform in 2013, and it registered the strongest year-on-year growth among mobile apps," L2 founder Scott Galloway explained in the L2 Intelligence Report. "It's an obvious choice for consumer brands."
Brands are also smitten by the high level of "engagement" that Instagram inherently commands among its users. L2's data holds that the average Instagram user spends 257 minutes on the platform each month – or 4 hours and 17 minutes. On top of that, 57% of users interact daily on the platform, with 35% using Instagram more than once a day.
The L2 Intelligence Report also claimed that only around 16% of online adults with annual income exceeding $75,000 currently have an Instagram account, meaning there's plenty of room for increased advertising success on the still-growing social network.
Even renowned publications Forbes.com and TheStreet.com have weighed in with stories on Instagram's growth and development as of late.

Can Nonprofit Management Usurp Board Responsibilities?
Peter Rinn, Breakthrough Solutions Group,* published a list of weak nonprofit board practices. Following are some of the items listed and my estimation of what can be done about them, based on my experiences as a nonprofit board director, board chair and consultant.
• Dumbing down board recruitment – trumpeting the benefits and not stressing the responsibilities of board membership.
Board position offers frequently may be accepted without the candidate doing sufficient due diligence. At the least, the candidate should have a personal meeting with the executive director and board chair. Issues that need to be clarified are meeting schedules, "give/get" policies and time expectations. In addition, the candidate, if seriously interested, should ask for copies of the board meeting minutes for one year, the latest financials, and the latest IRS form 990.
• Overlooking the continued absence of board members at board meetings, strategic and planning meetings.
Many bylaws have provisions dropping board members who do not meet meeting attendance criteria established by the bylaws. However, such actions are difficult to execute because of the interpersonal conflicts that can arise. For example, one organization with which I am familiar had a director who did not attend any meetings, but did make a financial contribution to the organization. When his resignation was requested, he refused. Not wanting to create conflict, the board simply kept him on the board roster until his term expired and then sent him a note acknowledging the end of his term. The board chair, not the CEO, has a responsibility to have a personal conversation with the recalcitrant director. He/s needs to offer a "tough love" message in the name of the board.
• Taking a board action without conducting enough due diligence to determine whether the transaction is in the nonprofit's best interest.
Although each board member should sign conflict of interest statement each year, my impression is that this is rarely done. Board members should understand the potential personal liabilities that might be accrued as a result of violation of the federal Intermediate Sanctions Act (IRS Section 4958) and other statues. For example, under IRS 4958, a board member can have his or her personal taxes increased if involved in giving an excess benefit, such as selling property to the wife of a board member for less than the market rate. Some boards and their members need to be frequently reminded about their "due-care" responsibilities.
• Allowing board members to be re-elected to the board, despite bylaw term limitations.
This often occurs when the board has given little thought to a succession plan, and the only person who seems qualified is currently in place. It also happens when the board has significant problems and nobody on the board wants to take the time to hold a time consuming position. Some boards however, have a bylaw exception that allows a board chair, if scheduled for rotation, an extra year or two to be chairperson. Succession planning needs to be a yearly routine for top managers and for the board itself.
• Allowing board members to ignore their financial obligations to the nonprofit.
To assess board interest in a nonprofit, foundations and other funders like to know that every board member makes a financial contribution within their means or participates in the organization's "give/get" program. This topic should be discussed at the outset of recruitment so it can be full understood by all directors.
• Overselling the protection of D&O insurance and laws limiting the liability of directors.
The importance of a nonprofit having a D&O policy, even a small one, can't be over stated. I recently encountered a nonprofit that had operated for seventeen years without a D&O policy, although its annual budget was $500,000, and it was responsible for real estate valued at least $24 million. Each director should be knowledgeable about the potential personal liabilities involved with the board position. Frequently, directors assume that a D&O insurance policy covers too wide a range of situations.
• Allowing ignorance and poor practices to exist keeps leadership in control.
Changing leadership and practice is difficult for both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. However, in the nonprofit environment it is more difficult because poor leadership and practices can continue for a long time period, as long as current revenues meet expenditures. They can even become part of the organization's culture. In some situations, this state of affairs continues because the board has low expectations of management and staff. It's critical that the leadership needs to be thoroughly evaluated annually.
There is much that nonprofit boards can do about avoiding common practices that weaken the effectiveness of the board.
Can Only Three Nonprofit Board Committees Engage Directors Meaningfully?
Nonprofit & Business Directors Must Be Vigilant – Board Liability Costs Could Be $2.2 Million!
How Can A Chief Operating Officer (COO) Advance Your Nonprofit Organization?
In my decades of involvement with nonprofit boards, I have encountered several instances in which the CEO has failed to engage the services of a COO– when this addition to the staff was clearly needed. In each case and for whatever reasons, this reluctance to act left the nonprofit organizationally starved.
McKinsey & Company has published a substantial nonprofit study: To better understand the state of (nonprofit) leadership in the US social sector… The findings suggest that chronic under-investment in (management) leadership development for 337,000 small or midsize nonprofits,..(may risk) the sector's capabilities to fulfill emerging missions effectively and to adapt to fast-changing demands.


It's great to see more and more planning tools coming out of the OCS team. Well done folks!
Currently the tool only supports the Consolidated, Single-Site and Scaled Single-Site topologies.
The tool does not support the Remote Site Edge Topology (either scaled or un-scaled).
In order to get around this, users should use Single-Site or Scaled Single-Site to configure your primary Edge data center.
Otherwise the reporting for different teams, the interview style questions are all great. This isn't meant to be a replacement for BPA and as such won't connect to your live OCS to gather config info. that would make it a real pain when trying to architect for several different customers or sites even.

Limb-sparing techniques, also known as limb-saving or limb-salvage techniques, are performed in order to preserve the look and function of limbs. Limb-sparing techniques are used to preserve limbs affected by trauma, arthritis, cancers such as high-grade bone sarcomas, and vascular conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers. As the techniques for chemotherapy, radiation, and diagnostic modalities improve, there has been a trend toward limb-sparing procedures to avoid amputation, which has been associated with a lower 5-year survival rate and cost-effectiveness compared to limb salvage in the long-run. There are many different types of limb-sparing techniques, including arthrodesis, arthroplasty, endoprosthetic reconstruction, various types of implants, rotationplasty, osseointegration limb replacement, fasciotomy, and revascularization.

Arthrodesis

Arthrodesis is the surgical immobilization of bones within a joint to promote fusion of the joint. Arthrodesis is performed most commonly on joints of the feet, hands, and spine. Arthrodesis can relieve pain from arthritis and fractures. This is accomplished through the use of orthobiologics such as allografts and autografts. Allografts are done by creating bone grafts from a donor bone bank, whereas autografts are bone grafts from other bones in a patient's body. Patient-reported outcomes following this procedure are typically positive in terms of long-term pain relief; however, the procedure also results in decreased range of motion.

Arthroplasty

Arthroplasty, otherwise known as joint replacement, is a surgical procedure which involves resurfacing, realignment, or removal of bone at a joint interface to restore the joint's function. Arthroplasty is often performed on hips, knees, shoulders, and ankles to improve range of motion and relieve pain from arthritis or trauma. Arthroplasty of the shoulder is one of the most common of these procedures, although it has only been widely used since 1955. Themistocles Gluck is thought to have created the first shoulder arthroplasty in the 1800s. Since Gluck never published any results or notes on the procedure, Jules-Emile Pean is credited with performing the first shoulder arthroplasty in 1893.

Implants

Alloprosthetic composites
Alloprosthetic composites are a combination of multiple limb-sparing techniques, namely allografts and prosthesis. Allografts are used to replace the bone that has been "resected" using arthroplasty techniques, and then prosthesis is used to support and strengthen the allografts. Alloprosthetic composites are flexible in that surgeons can adapt the implants for any situation.

Prosthetic implants
Prosthetic implants are used when sections of bone must be replaced and no further growth is expected. Implants are mostly made from metals, but the possibility of using ceramic material has been discussed among surgeons. Prosthetics can be temporary or permanent. Temporary implants remain in place until the bone has healed and are then removed. The temporary implants take most of the burden off of the fracture, causing the bone to become less dense. This can lead to re-fracturing of the bone after the implant is removed. The implants can also cause stress concentrations as a result of the material difference between the bone and the plate. With the permanent prostheses, a putty-like substance is injected into the implant site to keep the body, mainly the immune system, from fighting off the implant. This substance can deteriorate bony tissue and cause serious bone problems for the patient. Prosthetic limbs have been used for many years.

3D-printed implants
3D-printing leverages the power of computer rendering of advanced imaging to tailor implants to each patient, which can then be used to create a physical realization of that implant to use in that individual's surgery. 3D-printing of medical devices was first used in the 1990s for dental implants and custom prosthetics but has since been used for various bones and organs such as urinary bladders.

Rotationplasty

Rotationplasty, more commonly known as Van-Nes or Borggreve Rotation, is a limb-sparing medical procedure performed when a patient's leg is amputated at the knee. The ankle joint is then rotated 180 degrees and is attached to the former knee joint, becoming a new knee joint. This allows patients to have two fully functional feet, as opposed to losing one leg completely to amputation.

Reasons for rotationplasty
Originally, rotationplasty was performed to treat infections and tumors around the knee, especially osteosarcoma of the knee. While it is still being used to treat their complications, rotationplasty is also used to treat growing children who have been diagnosed with tumors around the knee. Rotationplasty is also performed on children with congenital femoral deficiencies, such as those that cause unstable hip joints or limb-length discrepancy of the femur. This procedure gives patients the ability to retain the use of both feet, allowing them to continue living an active lifestyle.

History of rotationplasty
Rotationplasty was first performed by Borggreve in the early 1900s on a 12-year-old boy with tuberculosis. However, the procedure was not well known until 1950. At that time, physician Van Nes reported the results of rotationplasty procedures and became well known for founding the procedure. Since then, many surgeons have performed modified versions of rotationplasty and have had great success.

Rotationplasty procedure
In the actual procedure, the bone affected by the tumor, as well as a small part of the healthy femur and occasionally tibia bone, is removed. The ankle joint is then turned 180 degrees and is reattached to the thigh. They are held together by plates and screws until they have healed naturally. The surgery can take anywhere from 6–10 hours, with a day or two in intensive care. The leg is kept in a cast for 6–12 weeks. After the leg has sufficiently healed, the leg can be fitted for a prosthetic.

Advantages and disadvantages of rotationplasty
In the same scenario, amputation would not leave a knee joint. Rotationplasty retains the use of a knee joint. Furthermore, it provides a better position for a prosthetic limb compared to amputation. As a result, children who have had rotationplasty can return to their previous activities such as playing sports and avoid undergoing additional surgeries throughout their lives. Rotationplasty is also durable and has been associated with enhanced quality of life and life contentment. Unfortunately, not every case turns out favorably. Rotationplasty can result in problems with blood supply to the leg, infection, nerve injuries, problems with bone healing, and fracture of the leg.

Open Access Rules in France: Persée, érudit, and revues.org

Interlibrary loan is often the only way to get hold of foreign-language-journal articles here at Villanova, given the University's focus on undergraduate education and the limited demand for academic journals in languages other than English. The library's foreign language subscriptions are generally only available in print, further complicating access in a time when online access is the norm. The French academic publishing environment took its time to embrace online access, but the wait was well worth it. Today the archives of a large number of humanities and social sciences journals published in France and Quebec are freely available online. Three open access platforms preserve French scholarship: Persée, érudit and revues.org. All three platforms are partially integrated with each other to improve content discovery.
Named after Perseus, the legendary hero of Greek mythology, Persée is an open access archive of French academic journals initiated by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research in order to preserve and disseminate French scholarship. Over the years Persée has expanded to include social sciences journals, besides the original humanities journals, as well as French Canadian journals and dissertations archived on the érudit platform. Most of the journals archived in Persée have a moving access wall restricting access to current content to subscribing institutions. Persée currently archives more than 135 academic journals and over 400,000 articles, mostly in French. It indexes an additional 38 French Canadian journals which are archived on the érudit platform. Anybody with an internet connection can search the complete archive and browse individual journals.
Like Persée, revues.org is an open access journal platform. It is part of the OpenEdition portal run by the Centre pour l'édition électronique ouverte (Cléo) in Marseille. While the back issues of all 381 journals archived on this platform can be accessed freely by anyone, the access to current content of some journals is restricted to subscribers. In some cases free online access is limited to html format, and only subscribers are permitted to download articles as PDF files. The archives of some journals are divided between the Persée and revues.org platforms with the deep back files stored in Persée and the more recent years available on revues.org.
Both the Persée and the revues.org platforms include central search boxes which will search the content of all archived journals while also allowing the reader to search or browse individual journals. Aside from proper names, search terms should be entered in French since most of the publications are in French. Interested readers can bookmark their favorite journals or set up email alerts (via an RSS feeds) for new content. The journal articles archived in Persée and revues.org are at least partially indexed in various library databases, such as the International Medieval Bibliography, Historical Abstracts, and L'Année Philologique. The familiar blue Find It button will link directly to the open access journal titles archived in Persée. The library is still in the process of establishing a similar link to journals on the revues.org platform. All articles include citations with a date stamp, URL and sometimes a digital object identifier (DOI). Persée also has a citation export function which will download citation information to EndNote and RefWorks.
Most of the journals archived in Persée and revues.org are not part of the Library's journal subscriptions, so that adding these platforms to the Library's full-text-link service considerably expands access to foreign language journals. As for the limited number of French journals to which Falvey subscribes, among them Cahiers de Civilisation Médiévale, the Annales historiques de la Révolution française and the Revue philosophique de Louvain, adding these titles to the Library's E-Journal Finder will increase overall accessibility.
I hope this description will encourage you to take a look at these open access journal platforms and to browse available journals in your subject area. What is your favorite open access scholarly resource? Email the name and URL directly to me (jutta.seibert@villanova.edu) or post it online, and I will feature it in a future blog post.

Knotty by Nature? The Science and Sensation of String Theory
black holes scientific theories
Physics has a problem: gravity. Unlike the other three fundamental forces (weak nuclear interaction, strong nuclear interaction and electromagnetism), gravity plays by its own rules, warping spacetime and compelling Einstein to devise unique ways of handling object interactions at scale. Even worse? Gravity does all this with nary a particle in sight, frustrating physicists' efforts for a unified understanding of our universe.
String theory offers a potential tie-breaker in the four-force fight by replacing three-dimensional point-like particles with one-dimensional constructs. But is our universe really knotty by nature? Here's what you need to know about the science and sensation of strings.
One of Everything, Please
Finding a "theory of everything" remains a long-standing goal for physicists; such a theory could connect seemingly disparate phenomena under a single ruleset, providing insight about how the universe began, how it works right now and where it's headed. Unfortunately, unification has proved uniquely frustrating — Einstein was unable to find a unified theory before his death and other efforts, such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD) focused on specific force mechanics over complete modeling.
String theory offers an alternative explanation that supersedes the Standard Model by forcing gravity to play by the rules. String-based science got its start with Gabriele Veneziano in 1968, who discovered a new way to approach strong nuclear force interactions: By reimagining point-like particle masses as one-dimensional strings. Removed from their third-dimension shackles, these open-ended or closed-loop strings were free to match mathematical predictions and explain strong force experimental results.
Researchers John Schwarz and Michael Green realized these theoretical strings could also be applied to gravity and published a paper in 1984 that jump-started the field of string theory. In 1985, Edward Witten co-authored another paper with more in-depth analysis and in the decade that followed, strings became immensely popular, although several notable critics — including Richard Feynman and Stephen Hawking — lamented the lack of experimental data.
Despite its role in governing universal conditions, gravity refuses to play nice. But string theory offers a way to describe "gravitons," which are fundamental particles that carry the force of gravity. In string theory, the vibration of tiny strings — on the order of millions to billions times smaller than current particles — account for the nature of all matter. Strike the right tone and you get a boson. Strike another and an electron emerges. Hit exactly the right note and you get a graviton.
Gravitons permit a quantum theory of gravity, one that aligns with the behavior of the other three fundamental forces. Observationally, this makes sense; as noted by astrophysicist Ethan Siegel, the way two massive bodies gravitate is eerily similar to the action of electrically charged particles that attract or repel, while gravitational waves closely match the behavior of waves of light and water. Instead of requiring a special theory for gravity that forces mathematical and mental gymnastics, string theory creates a unified force model that tidies up gravity's spacetime mess.
Like all theories, however, strings aren't neatly tied up. As Physics.org points out, for string theory to work it not only presupposes the existence of one-dimensional strings but also requires an additional seven dimensions that are so tightly folded up into infinitesimally small spaces they're virtually undetectable. Work on string models eventually produced five competing theories; Edward Witten suggested in 1995 that these five theories were in fact variations on a theme — a fundamental, 11-dimensonial model he called "M-theory" that included general equations to explain all behavior in the universe. So far, however, it's proved elusive.
Unraveling the Evidence
Lacking the ability to experimentally verify extra dimensions and even the existence of one-dimensional strings, how does the theory stack up?
While its equations are often described as "elegant," there's been little progress made after the initial burst of excitement during the late '80s and early '90s. In addition, current string models suggest a universe that isn't expanding and postulate the existence of 10500 universes, all of which bear only passing similarity to our own. Still, it's not all bad — that many theoretical doppelgangers vastly increases the potential for trips across inter-universal lines.
But string theory also has its share of scientific success stories. Along with a viable path to quantum gravity, Live Science points to the use of strings in describing early-universe processes like the Big Bang. String-based models were also the first to describe black hole entropy in a way that wasn't just a rough estimate but provided a "spot-on counting," according to Space. The theory could also help further our understanding of quantum teleportation. Recent experiments have proven that it works, but strings may provide more data about underlying universal mechanics.
Is the universe knotty by nature? Or will further work fray the edges of string theory and its model of quantum gravity? No matter the eventual outcome, strings play a critical part in untangling universal mysteries.
