Exclusive: Form Us With Love reaches decade milestone
Words by Jenny Brewer

Mitab
Swedish design firm Form Us With Love makes simple, charismatic products that fly off the shelves. Having collaborated with Ikea, and launched a loud new take on the acoustic panel, it is now venturing into electronics
Form Us With Love has brought a new toy along to Stockholm Furniture Fair. Wanting to give visitors a more tangible experience of its new Baux sound-control cladding panels, the designers have set up an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset on its exhibition stand.
Curious potential clients and journalists (this one included) are encouraged by co-founders John Löfgren and Jonas Pettersson to strap on the headset and explore a virtual building they have created, where the latest designs can be found in various rooms. It demonstrates the studio's appetite for technology, which they hint could be its next foray, and its ongoing pursuit of that surprise element that peppers many of its designs.
This year the Swedish studio celebrates a decade in business, during which time it has created dozens of recognisable products including a landmark range with Ikea, and co-founded Baux. Yet, as always, they are thinking ahead.
"It's a landmark, sure, but most of the things are not done yet," smiles Löfgren. "I'm more energetic than ever. I think when you've been around 10 years, you can really start to make some changes."
Keeping one foot in the world of furniture and lighting, where it made its name, FUWL is currently amid plans to broach new territories.
"The design industry is very mature and fun to work in, because everything is at a high level," says Pettersson, "but it's more challenging to move into industries where design is not as implemented, where you can make a bigger difference."
They allude to projects in electronics, and the everyday technological items around us that they believe could use a less engineered, more human appeal.
"Take a vacuum cleaner," says Pettersson. "Why does it look like it's going to go 200km per hour? Maybe it could look more like a piece of furniture, so you don't have to hide it."
It's this mentality that led to the launch of Baux at last year's Stockholm Furniture Fair, but began four years ago within FUWL's own studio. In search of sound absorption for its new open-plan, double-height workspace, the team came across Träullit, a small manufacturer of interior cladding panels made from wood wool and cement that insulate, absorb sound and regulate moisture.
However, as Löfgren recalls, they came in sheets of "grey and grey", so FUWL began working with the factory to develop new colours and patterns. The before-and-after shots have the same pupil-dilating effect as that moment in The Wizard of Oz when the black and white film saturates with colour. It is a departure from the studio's usual projects, but FUWL's injection of vibrancy into such a functional, large-scale architectural construction product has so far proved a successful match; on display at this year's Stockholm fair, the panels attracted passers-by like moths to a flame.
It was at this fair nine years ago that the industry was first exposed to FUWL, then a newly established designer trio fresh from Linnaeus University in south Sweden. Whereas many graduating design students spend the days after their degree show revelling in new-found freedom, then trying to figure out how the hell to break into design, classmates Löfgren, Pettersson and third FUWL founder, Petrus Palmér, officially established the studio the day after graduation.
"The environment in school is very stressful, with late nights, so you can scope each other out," says Löfgren. "We had the same mindset towards design; we knew we wanted the same things."
They applied to exhibit at the fair's Greenhouse show for emerging talent, and were rejected, but these ambitious young Swedes persevered. "We called [the organisers] and said, 'we need to do this'," remembers Pettersson, "so they gave us three days to come up with something else."
That something was Cord Lamp, an "instant hit" product still sold by retailer Design House Stockholm to this day, and one that says much about the portfolio of stripped-back-yet-playful designs that FUWL would go on to produce. It is simply a bulb plus a fabric-coated cord that is curled and set in place to form the lamp's base; reductive design at its most artful.
This project paved the way for another with Design House Stockholm called Work Lamp (2009), a metallic caged bulb akin to the type you'd find on a building site, which tapped into the market's obsession with ready-mades at that time.
Swedish brand Mitab was also an early collaborator, for which the studio has designed a number of chairs and tables over the years, beginning with the Highway steel wire chair. From the front, its tapering, slatted form looks like a road reaching into the horizon (hence the name), yet its side profile is as slim as they come. Compared with something like Work Lamp, it shows how FUWL can apply its simple but charismatic design to different aesthetics and brands.
"We're not artists," says Löfgren, when quizzed on the studio's ethos.
"Our ambition is not to express ourselves, it is to go to the core of the [client] and push projects through the company's DNA. Communication has always been a great part of our business idea." As such, the studio isn't limited solely to product design, but undertakes consultancy work, including creative direction for flooring firm Bolon, and interior design for retail and exhibitions.
Pettersson says that, in the beginning, the three founders' roles were quite defined. "One of us was keen on starting things, one on creating things, and one on presenting things," he says, explaining that he is the first in that line-up, while Löfgren is the third, which seems to correspond with their personalities – theoretical and analytical, retrospectively. When people with different personalities and ideas work together, Löfgren continues, "that's when the magic happens."
Palmér took a step back from the studio in late 2013 to concentrate more on his creative director role at design retail brand One Nordic, which formed in 2012. Online retailer Fab bought One Nordic in June 2014, and soon after launched spin-off online store, Hem, for which Palmér has continued as creative director.
There's no bad blood between the three: Palmér is still a partner in Baux and TID (a watch company they also co-founded), and Hem sells two FUWL designs, the Bento range and Levels lamp. Meanwhile FUWL's small team of designers has filled the gap left by his absence and as the studio has grown, the roles are less defined anyway,
says Pettersson, and the process has become more organic.
Maintaining their theory that different perspectives are the fuel to their creative fire, the team includes people from Germany, Korea and the US as well as Sweden, and the studio takes monthly trips together "to see something new," such as skiing, a city break to Barcelona, eating in a new restaurant or seeing an exhibition.
"We need to explore things that aren't about design," says Pettersson, "to look at how people behave and live, find out new ways of doing things." Each project begins with group discussion and brainstorming, analysing from every angle and gleaning the biggest variety of ideas possible, before slimming down to smaller dedicated project teams.
It seems relationships are central to the studio's output, whether it's the one between three university peers, a small diverse team of designers, or indeed the ones with clients. In this respect, the last 10 years have taught them to trust their instincts. "Design is so much about people. If you can't have a beer or a coffee with the guys you're going to work with, you shouldn't do it," says Löfgren. "It's a gut feeling."
He claims he can tell within 10 minutes of talking to a new collaborator whether it's a yes or a no. "There were some collaborations in the beginning that we should've said no to, because the gut said no, but we did it anyway. Now we can just work with the right people."
"We're trying to be in the middle of rational and emotional"
Collaborations with Danish brand Muuto have been especially successful, with the Unfold lamp being one of the studio's best-known products. In true FUWL style, it subverts the familiar; the industrial-style shade is made from silicon, so it's softer aesthetically and physically, squashing down for more efficient packaging and transportation.
The designers are currently working on some new pieces for Muuto.
Similarly the three pieces produced with Swedish lighting brand Ateljé Lyktan, another early and ongoing collaborator, exemplify FUWL's adroitness for problem solving with finesse. Ogle (2009) can shift from straight-down pendant lamp to angled spotlight, courtesy of a subtle groove in its spherical head; and Plug (2012) is a dumpy little table lamp housing a socket for charging laptops and phones.
Its latest is Hood (2013), another journey into sound control, which is a modular acoustic system and pendant light, designed to create a quieter, more intimate environment for office meetings without infringing on open-plan surroundings.
All are embedded with a clever trick or multifunctional aspect, without complicating the product's honest, pared-back aesthetic. "We're trying to be in the middle of rational and emotional. If it's too rational, it's boring and no one really wants it; but if it's too emotional and abstract then it doesn't have value," says Pettersson.
Löfgren says that from the start the studio's intention was to make things as easy as possible, and as such the overriding theme across FUWL's portfolio is one of clarity, legibility and sophisticated simplicity, all with a friendly charm. The Bento range echoes traditional Scandinavian bentwood chairs but with rounder, stouter proportions, and a nifty construction; its four components come together by the turn of just one chunky handle under the seat.
It's not just FUWL but the wider industry, says Löfgren, that is pushing for more transparency in the market: "I think a good development [over the last 10 years] is that people, customers, are generally more aware of production and want insight on how stuff is made, like in food nowadays." Likewise, he says, the Swedish industry is moving away from low-cost production overseas in favour of nurturing its local heritage in high-quality furniture making.
Working with manufacturers closer to home allows FUWL to go to the headquarters, meet everyone from the CEO to the makers, and keep a closer eye on proceedings. Though the studio has worked with its fair share of international names including FontanaArte, Cappellini and La Cividina, the bulk of its work is with Scandinavian brands because of the close relationships it cultivates.
"We're more inspired by being at the factory floor; that's where our ideas are born," says Löfgren. "Being a designer in Sweden, the production has always been just around the corner. I think this knowhow is something we have to keep, as people are going to want it in future."
It's a topic that lends itself nicely to talking about Ikea. The studio's Janinge moulded plastic chair and stool for the Swedish megabrand launched in late 2014 to much laudation, not least because the partnership with a high-design name marks an about-turn for a company known for its cheap, mass-produced furniture. Full of praise for the company, Löfgren admits that this particular project was a big moment for the studio.
"We've had our eyes on Ikea from day one. If you're from Scandinavia, or anywhere else in the world for that matter, it's always something you're aware of in this business." So, how did it differ from other clients? "The processes and sheer size of the company is impressive, but the collaboration has been exquisite; we really found each other from the start."
It's the beginning of another beautiful relationship, as they confirm more works are in the pipeline. It also marks an internal renaissance for Ikea, which also launched a range by Ilse Crawford at Stockholm.
"Around four years ago they decided design should no longer be a cost, it should be an investment," says Pettersson. "They have to be conscious," adds Löfgren, "because what they do matters." The collaboration speaks volumes not just of FUWL's design dexterity, but its personal touch.
"It's a tricky investment to make, to buy creativity," Pettersson says, "but we've proven that it's worth it."

"The Washington Post, which obtained a copy of the book, reported Tuesday that former Trump attorney John Dowd arranged a mock interview for January 27".
"I can stop this". "Given your daily intake - just look what we've done this afternoon".
Administration staffers often have to engage in stealth behaviour to prevent Trump from being impulsive and to minimise disasters that could hurt the president and the country.
The US remains part of both trade agreements as it negotiates new terms.
Woodward describes these acts as "no less than an administrative coup d'etat".
The book says Trump's former lawyer in the Russia probe, John Dowd, doubted the president's ability to avoid perjuring himself should he be interviewed in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference and potential coordination with Trump's campaign.
"It's just nasty stuff", Trump said.
Mr Dowd is quoted as telling the president: "Don't testify". "Your honor, my client could easily take the stand and say he never killed anyone, but if we let him in here, he will kill everyone".
One of the sources of considerable consternation for the president's staff, per Woodward, was what they viewed as his unsafe impulses on foreign policy. After Trump left the room, Woodward wrote, Mattis told people that Trump understood the topic like a "fifth or sixth-grader". "Let's kill the f-ing lot of them".
But he is also taking note of the silence from several other former administration officials. The president also dressed down top generals over their handling of the war in Afghanistan, saying that soldiers "on the ground" could do a better job.
"We're not going to do any of that".
Trump accused Woodward of making up quotations attributed to Kelly and the United States defence chief, James Mattis.
The White House plans to keep moving forward and "ticking off things on [Trump's] agenda", she told Fox News. Woodward tells Trump he had contacted multiple officials to attempt to interview Trump and was rebuffed.
Mr Trump compares his first chief of staff, Reince Priebus, to a rat.
As the President publicly fumes on Twitter, he's privately on a mission to determine who did - and didn't - talk to Woodward, CNN has learned. "He's this dumb Southerner".
"This was no longer a presidency. This is a man being who he is".
They would criticize the president behind his back and undermine his more radical suggestions, the book claims.
Though Woodward says he tried to interview the president and went through about six people in the White House and Congress to do so, Trump only called him after his manuscript was complete. Trump said, before Mattis talked him down, according to Woodward.
The book is supposed to come out in a few weeks. I told you he was a goddamn dumbbell. You know I'm very open to you. I would've spoken to you.
Woodward cites as his sources hundreds of hours of interviews with mostly unnamed Trump aides and others.
The Post reports that a recurring theme of the book is the efforts of Trump aides to control his impulses, hiding papers so Trump can't sign them and talking the president down from what were viewed as bad ideas. "That I can tell you.".
I admit. My gob was as smacked as anybody's was when details of the forthcoming Bob Woodward book, Fear, started trickling out.

If your remote control has been broken or misplaced, you may be thinking about purchasing a universal garage door opener remote to replace the original one. Read on to learn why universal remotes are a popular choice for many homeowners.
If your garage door opener has been around for a while, you may experience some difficulty obtaining a replacement garage door part for your unit, including the exact remote control for that model.
Sometimes, manufacturers even discontinue certain product ranges to encourage consumers to install a newer system. This can obviously turn out to be quite expensive and frustrating if you don't feel yours needs to be replaced yet. For this reason, third-party universal remotes actually present a great compromise when it comes to maintaining functionality at a far cheaper cost.
Most universal devices can be programmed easily to work with your existing system - it is worth just double checking that the particular universal device is compatible with your specific system.
Many universal models of opener can be configured to operate more than a single device. For example, these remotes usually have a number of buttons which could be used to operate your door opener and an automatic gate. This makes things remarkably convenient since you only need to carry one clicker around with you, rather than two or three.
If you are having difficulty with a faulty or a broken remote and are struggling to obtain an original replacement, a universal remote may be just what you were looking for. If you need assistance with programming or re-programming, our technicians are on hand to help you.
This provides a much cheaper alternative to replacing the entire opener - if you are interested in learning more or would like advice about your remote and the way it works with your system, our experts at Garage Door Repair Fort Lauderdale will be delighted to assist you.

Yet we may think that it's only certain kinds of major stressors — such as getting fired, going through a breakup, or undergoing surgery — that significantly impact our lives.
"Our research," Leger explains, "shows that negative emotions that linger after even minor, daily stressors have important implications for our long-term physical health."
"When sharing the frustrations we feel after having an argument with a friend," the authors write, "or learning of an unexpected work deadline, people often will tell us to 'just let it go.' Yet surprisingly few studies have tested the utility of this advice."
Their study aimed to test that idea: is it actually helpful to try to "let go" of daily frustrations as soon as they arise? And what happens when we're unable to get over such stressors easily?
Are social media platforms creating more stress than they're worth?
Every day throughout this period, the participants had to record "how much of the time over the past 24 hours" they had experienced each of the following negative emotions: nervousness, worthlessness, hopelessness, loneliness, fear, jitteriness, irritability, shame, upset, anger, frustration, restlessness, or feeling "that everything was an effort."
"When most people think of the types of stressors that impact health," says Leger, "they think of the big things, major life events that severely impact their lives, such as the death of a loved one or getting divorced."
"But accumulating findings suggest that it's not just the big events, but minor, everyday stressors that can impact our health as well."
"This means," Leger emphasizes, "that health outcomes don't just reflect how people react to daily stressors, or the number of stressors they are exposed to — there is something unique about how negative they feel the next day that has important consequences for physical health."
First, lingering negative emotions activate stress-related systems on a "persistent" basis, thereby weakening the body and rendering it more susceptible to disease.
"Stress is common in our everyday lives. It happens at work, it happens at school, it happens at home and in our relationships. Our research shows that the strategy to 'just let it go' could be beneficial to our long-term physical health," Leger concludes.

University Park Gets 6 Electric Car Charging Stations
4/26/21 Update: UP Mayor Len Carey and Councilmember Joe Schultz confirmed that these parking spaces will still be available for all cars to park, not just electric vehicles.
University Park just installed 6 electric car charging stations, in partnership with the Electric Vehicle Institute (EVI). The stations are located on Queens Chapel Road, directly across from University Park Elementary School, in parking spots frequently used by UPES parents during morning drop-off / afternoon pick up of students.
Four of the six EVI electric car parking spots installed in University Park.
University Park Installs Electric Car Charging Stations
From the University Park Town Council's February 2021 meeting minutes, it appears that the stations are "part of a statewide initiative to develop electric drive and charging infrastructure….The cost of installation and initial maintenance is covered by grant from EVI…[who] will maintain the charging stations for five years. The receiving entity pays the cost of preparing the site(s)."
School Day Parking Allowed?
Electric vehicles are certainly the way to go; among other things, they produce fewer emissions overall than their gas-powered counterparts and help tackle climate change. Installing the charging stations in parking spaces that are frequently used by harried UPES families trying to safely drop their kids off at school while still making it to work on time gives us pause, however, only because electric charging parking spots are usually restricted to those type of vehicles.
We reached out to the Town of University Park to learn more about the use of these parking spots; we'll keep you posted. Here's to hoping that consideration of local, public school families was given and that non-EV parking is allowed in these 6 spots, at least during morning drop-off or afternoon pick-up of our students.

I have been trying to figure out how to restart this blog and to explain my absence from it. Then I realized I don't really have to explain, but I want to. Some of you came here to regular (or semi-regular) posts, then I was gone all of a sudden. Some of you may have stumbled upon a dormant blog.
My last post was in January. It was an attempt to restart then, too.
For a long time, I tried to blog because it was expected. it's what a writer needs to do to build a platform, to gain an audience. It felt forced to me, so it fell flat. Unfortunately, it probably sounded forced to you, too.
I apologize for all of that.
Now I am returning to the blog. While I hope you are here to read it, comment on it, and ask questions of me about whatever I post, I am doing it for me.
You see, for the past year, I have been dealing with some health issues that had me keeping my foot propped up for 8 of the last 10 months. In that time, I haven't done much writing. I've done a lot of reading. I've done a lot of crocheting. I even learned to knit, which is something I have wanted to do for years.
I started a separate blog for the health stuff. It stalled too, although for different reasons. I wasn't sure that I wanted to be that personal. I wasn't sure that I wanted people to know that I am diabetic and I struggle with that sometimes.
I realize, though, that is part of me. And the tagline for this blog is "Wandering on the creative journey." That is part of the wandering. That is part of finding my way. That is part of finding me and making my way back to who I am, who I was, and — more importantly — to who I want to be.
I am trying to take a more healthful approach to life. I'm walking more. I've joined Weight Watchers. My blood sugar is consistently under better control. It's still not perfect, but I'm working on it with my doctor. I got a FitBit for my birthday to help me stay motivated.
I will write about creativity and things I am doing. I will write about how things are going in my personal life and wtih my health. Since I am doing this for me, it will not be with any real regularity. There will be some weeks with daily posts. There will be some weeks with no posts. Most weeks will be somewhere in-between. And that's OK.
I give myself permission to take things slowly and do what needs to be done.
The picture with this post? That was my breakfast this morning. A fruit salad of a green apple, some strawberries, and a couple Clementines. I also had a piece of toast. I should have included something with protein, maybe some peanut butter on the toast. I'll do that next time. I enjoyed it, though. And isn't that important too?

No Sign of Missing Actor Nick Stahl
Updated Apr. 21, 2017 4:56PM ET / Published May. 16, 2012 11:31PM ET

Nick Stahl's life has turned into a Hollywood movie of sorts—and not in a good way. The 32-year-old actor best known for his roles in Terminator 3 and Sin City went missing on May 9 and has not been heard from since. Stahl's wife, Rose, filed a petition in February calling for child support, supervised visits, and drug tests for her husband, who is known in the movie industry to be a hard worker. She reported him missing Monday, four days after he had been last seen in downtown Los Angeles. No foul play is suspected in the case—though the papers filed by Rose say that Stahl had been behaving erratically and getting high around their 2-year-old daughter.

Trust us to protect your home from termites' devastating damage. If you don't have termite protection with us, we'd like to change that. Special springtime rates are available today. Contact us today about a free inspection.
Q: How long will my swarm last for?
A: Termite swarms come out when the temperature and humidity are just right. We don't know how many there are. Some people get the swarm on and off for a few days, some on and off for a few weeks. It really depends on the weather conditions and the size of the colony.
Q: How is the baiting system better than a liquid treatment?
A: The Sentricon baiting system will eliminate a termite colony. Termites begin feeding on the bait as soon as they enter the station. This starts the elimination process sooner, and it provides continuous property protection. Liquid applications are limited to the area they are applied and break down over time, this does not provide good protection against a termite colony.
Q: how far apart are the stations placed?
A: 8 to 10 feet apart around the entire perimeter of the home.
Q: I have a patio in the back of my home, is it ok if the stations are not close to my house?
A: Yes, termites will travel up to a football field in distance to forage for food.
Q: Is the chemical safe for my pets and family?
A: Yes, the Sentricon bait is a green product. The active ingredient will not leave the station. Even if the station sits under several inches of water, the active ingredient will not leave the station. The Sentricon system won the presidential green chemistry challenge award.
Q: How long after the installation will my problem be solved?
A: Once the system is installed, we must wait until the termites randomly forage into the station. Once they begin feeding on the bait, the colony should be eliminated within 60-90 days depending on the size of the colony.
Q: I had the system installed but I am still seeing swarms, why?
A: Termite swarms are strictly a reproductive organism and do not have any mouths. They do not consume any bait and they do not cause damage. A termite swarmer comes up from the ground, breaks off its wings and looks for a mate so they can get back in the soil and try to become a new colony.
This cannot happen inside of a home. They must be in the soil to reproduce. The termite swarms have no chance to survive in a structure and will die in about 40 minutes or so after coming out. Just vacuum them up.
Q: How often do you check the stations?
A: We inspect the stations on an annual basis in the fall time.
We do not want to inspect the stations during the spring or summer months when termites are most active. If termites are feeding on the bait and we pull it out of the station, this will break the mud tubes and pheromone trail and can cause station abandonment. We check the stations when feeding slows down and then determine if any material needs to be replaced.
Q: Is there a charge for repairing a broken station or replacing the bait?
A: No, you pay an annual renewal for this warranty and you have unlimited call backs. We do not charge for bait replacement or the repair of a station.
Q: What if I have a termite problem inside my house?
A: The Sentricon system offers a AG unit (Above ground) station that can be installed when there is an ACTIVE mud tube. There is no extra cost for this.
Q: Does the bait have an odor?
Q: Will the stations attract the termites to my house?
A: No, the stations do not attract termites. Termite randomly forage through the soil and this is how they locate the stations.
Q: How long do I need to keep the system?
A: You should continue with the system each year to protect your home from possible future invasions of termite colonies. The system offers continuous protection. Termite swarming happens when a colony is 3-5 years old, if you do not have termite protection, this could mean 3-5 years' worth of potential damage.

The Texas Cowboy - 1886 - Limited Edition Print
"All in a Day's Work..."
An image can't get any more Texas than this!
Very few people have ever seen this image. It was produced by an unknown artist in 1886 for the cover of a piece of sheet music published by Thomas Goggan, a Galveston music mogul.
He was obviously trying to catch the coattails of Charlie Siringo's huge success with his book, A Texas Cow Boy, published the previous year.
It's incredibly rare. There are only nine known copies. If artwork sold music, that might be a different story. For whatever reason the song was not a hit. From what we can discern 130+ years later, a single batch was printed and that was that.
Which is a shame, because in the last century, only a few academic types have laid eyes on this incredible piece of Texas iconography.
I wish I were better with words. I might be able to make you feel the impact of this print. It's a showstopper. It will make you smile every time you see it hanging on your wall. It's the kind of thing visitors stop to admire.
And it's big. 24 by 29 inches. And there are only 254 copies in the limited edition. That's one for each county in Texas.
Time to order.

Limited Edition Fine Art Print
Only 254 copies

This is a high quality giclee print.
The paper is acid free, cold press cotton watercolor with an elegant ever so lightly textured finish. This surface allows the inks to 'bite', reproducing the shading and tonality of the original map vividly, beautifully, and exactly.
The inks are guaranteed color-fast for 80 years, which means you won't need to lay out the extra money for UV glass. You can hang your map in direct sun and it will be just as bright when they are passed on to the next generation it is the day it ships.
It's an instant heirloom. Get yours before they're gone...and get one to give to a friend. He'll owe you!

Famous-Cartoons-Characters - Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner
Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner
Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner are a duo of characters from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. In the cartoons, the Coyote repeatedly attempts to catch and subsequently eat the Road Runner, a fast-running ground bird, but is never successful. Instead of his species' animal instincts, the Coyote uses absurdly complex contraptions (sometimes in the manner of Rube Goldberg) and elaborate plans to pursue his prey, resulting in his devices comically backfiring with the Coyote often getting injured in slapstick fashion.
The characters were created by animation director Chuck Jones in 1948 for Warner Bros., while the template for their adventures was the work of writer Michael Maltese. The characters star in a long-running series of theatrical cartoon shorts (the first 16 of which were written by Maltese) and occasional made-for-television cartoons. It was originally meant to parody chase cartoons like Tom and Jerry, but became popular in its own right.
The Coyote appears separately as an occasional antagonist of Bugs Bunny in five shorts from 1952 to 1963: Operation: Rabbit, To Hare Is Human, Rabbit's Feat, Compressed Hare, and Hare-Breadth Hurry. While he is generally silent in the Coyote-Road Runner shorts, he speaks with a refined accent in these solo outings (except for Hare-Breadth Hurry), beginning with 1952's Operation: Rabbit, introducing himself as "Wile E. Coyote — Genius", voiced with an upper-class accent by Mel Blanc.[3] The Road Runner vocalizes only with a signature sound, "Beep, Beep", recorded by Paul Julian, and the occasional "popping-cork" tongue noise.[4]
To date, 48 cartoons have been made featuring these characters (including the three CGI shorts), the majority by Chuck Jones.
TV Guide included Wile E. Coyote in its 2013 list of The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time.

This idea has proven to be more efficient for the traditional designs.You may be thinking that choosing colors is very easy but it's not. In kitchens with two color cabinets is very easy to make a mistake and have to repeat the whole painting process all over again.


Just because Time was already broken doesn't mean you can break it more!
I mean, as far as time travel goes it's a pretty good solution. They never did recover Gert's body originally, so they still thought she was dead until now. And as long as they all thought she was dead all these years, the timeline won't change. So Gert gets saved while the timeline remains intact.
I meant in the new timeline. Now they presumably figured her body was buried in the wreck of the burnt building, and were unable to stick around to retrieve it without garnering too much attention from the authorities. As long as they still think Gert is dead, the timeline remains unchanged enough to prevent paradox.
Seeing her body and burying it probably helped them accept that she was dead. Leaving her body in the wreckage of a building, to be eventually found and taken by the authorities would just lead to them infiltrating the morgue to retrieve it. If they never found her body that would just leave too many open ended questions.
Plus how would they get Geoffrey Wilder out of that building alive if they couldn't get Gert's body out?
Agreed. It's a pretty smooth solution.
I'm pretty sure that is exactly what it means. The moment someone time travels I am allowed to do whatever I want to that timeline.
Going back again and killing yourself before you do that whatever didn't seem to work that well for Wolverine, though.
So I guess she's like... 3-4 years younger than all of them now? Granted, the way they're drawn here they could all very well be 25 nearing 30, but youth is flexible.
I don't mind that she's back, wish they did it differently though.
iirc their original ages correctly that would make Chase 20, Nico and Karolina 18-19, and Molly 14-15.
I think Gert was about 16 when she died.
Ah, a member of the "holding a white cat with my head hidden from view" school of villainy. Classic.
Ah yes the good old typeface that Marvel briefly used in the early 00's for all of their comics. I wasn't terribly fond of it. Hard to take WOLVERINE seriously when he literally talks like this.
And nowadays it's used to indicate that someone comes from the Ultimate universe! So the Runaways are all pals with the Maker and Ms. Marvel now?
Let's be fair, it's not like the Marvel Universes timeline could be any more broken.
Hank McCoy mad sure of that.
There is an event where literally all of reality was destroyed and remade in-between Gert's death and now. I'm not really sure what Chase could really do to time that doesn't get overruled by that.


Over one-third of US adults are considered obese by medical professionals. This rising epidemic is not about looking like a movie star, though. Doctors and other medical professionals are concerned about the rising trend of obesity and worse, severe obesity in the U.S. largely because of comorbid diseases. People who struggle with obesity are much more likely to suffer many side effects, including high blood pressure and cholesterol, joint pain and mobility issues, Type 2 diabetes, stroke, blood clot, sleep apnea, urinary incontinence, and even some kinds of cancer. It is very important for these people to lose weight and keep it off, which is why Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S. founded Dr. Feiz & Associates. Dr. Feiz is one of the leading experts in bariatric procedures including both revision operations such as a gastric sleeve after Lap Band.
Although Dr. Feiz specializes in many types of bariatric surgeries, he a noted leader in the area of Lap Band revision surgery. Although many patients experience great weight loss benefits from the Lap Band, in some rare cases, the band does not work. Sometimes, this is because the doctor did not work with the patient to help them choose the best weight loss procedure; Dr. Feiz always works with his patients as individuals to help them understand their options so they can make the best choice for their personal situation. In other cases, the band does not work properly because a surgeon installs it too tight, or not tight enough. This can create pain and digestive problems, and also prevents the person from losing weight like they need to. Dr. Feiz specializes in revision surgery to help these individuals achieve their weight loss goals.
Get your first appointment with Dr. Feiz set up today and learn the best option for you, including the respective benefits of gastric sleeve vs. Lap Band.

Mel Greig and Michael Christian will not face charges over Kate Middleton hoax
Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian, who made a hoax call to the UK hospital treating Kate Middleton, will not face charges, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has said.
Mel Greig and Michael Christian phoned the King Edward VII's Hospital pretending to be members of the Royal Family asking about Kate Middleton's treatment for severe morning sickness.
Nurse Jacintha Saldanha was found dead three days after taking the call.
The CPS said there was no evidence to support a charge of manslaughter.
Although it said that there was some evidence to warrant further investigation of offences under the Data Protection Act, the Malicious Communications Act 1988 and the Communications Act 2003, it added that this would not take place as any potential prosecution would not be in the public interest.
Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian, who made a hoax call to the UK hospital treating Kate Middleton, will not face charges
Malcolm McHaffie, deputy head of special crime at the CPS, said a number of issues had been taken into account in reaching its conclusion.
"It is not possible to extradite individuals from Australia in respect of the potential offences in question. However misguided, the telephone call was intended as a harmless prank," he said.
"The consequences in this case were very sad. We send our sincere condolences to Jacintha Saldanha's family."
Last December, the pair, posing as the Queen and Prince of Wales, tricked Jacintha Saldanha into transferring the call to a colleague who then described Catherine's condition in detail.
Jacintha Saldanha was found hanged in nurses accommodation close to the hospital, after apparently taking her own life.
Kate Middleton had been admitted to hospital suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, acute morning sickness.

2Day FM's Hot 30 radio show cancelled following Jacintha Saldana suicide in Kate Middleton hoax scandal
2Day FM's Hot 30 programme, the Australian radio show that made the hoax call to the hospital treating pregnant Kate Middleton in December, has been cancelled.
2Day FM's Hot 30 programme had been taken off air following the death of nurse Jacintha Saldana, who was found hanged after forwarding the call.
The broadcaster said a new show, hosted by a different DJ, would fill the slot.
Michael Christian and Mel Greig, the DJs who made the call, were still employed by the station, it added.
The pair have been on leave since the incident and a music-based show without a host DJ has been broadcast in their show's place.
"We look forward to Mel and MC returning to work when the time is right, in roles that make full use of their talents," said Rhys Holleran of Southern Cross Austereo, owner of 2Day FM.
"We will discuss future roles with them when they are ready."
2Day FM's Hot 30 programme, the Australian radio show that made the hoax call to the hospital treating pregnant Kate Middleton in December, has been cancelled
Kate Middleton was being treated at King Edward VII's Hospital for an extreme form of morning sickness when Michael Christian and Mel Greig made their prank call pretending to be members of the Royal Family.
Jacintha Saldana answered the call and put them through to another nurse who gave an update on Kate Middleton's condition.
Jacintha Saldana was found hanged at her home three days later.
Last month the Australian media watchdog launched a formal inquiry to examine whether any broadcasting rules had been breached.
2Day FM also pledged to give at least 500,000 Australian dollars from its advertising profits to the family of Jacintha Saldana.
Jacintha Saldanha criticized senior colleagues in one of three suicide notes
Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse found dead following a hoax call to the hospital treating Kate Middleton, criticized senior colleagues over her treatment in one of three suicide notes, it has emerged.
An inquest heard that Jacintha Saldanha, 46, left three emotional suicide notes following the prank call by Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian.
But it has emerged today that in one of the notes she has criticized colleagues at the King Edward VII hospital over her treatment following the controversial call.
It is believed Jacintha Saldanha's suicide note has left her grieving family furious, with husband Ben Barboza understood to want an inquiry into the hospital.
He is also believed to want an independent investigation into what happened in the days leading up to the death of his wife, for whom student nurses in Bangalore, India, held a candlelit vigil overnight.
The nurses, who were seen walking the streets holding candles and reciting prayers in tribute to the mother of two, demanded an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding her death.
"It is very unfortunate for a nurse, who was in a peak of her career had to die in a very bad way from the royal prank played by some foolish people," said one attendee named as Ravi.
"This nurse was traumatized so much that she could not face anybody and committed a suicide. We pray for her soul to rest in peace and her family to come out of the incident."
A nurse named as Vijaylaxmi said at the march organized by a local politician: "We are here to pray for nurse Jacintha's family, so my kind request is that proper investigation has to be done and it is a major issue, we cannot leave this issue."
A vigil in memory of Jacintha Saldanha was organized by a local politician in Bangalore
Speaking to the Daily Mirror about Jacintha Saldanha's suicide notes, a source close to the family said: "One of the letters, which is the longest, deals with the hospital and is critical in its tone.
"Needless to say, Ben wants a full inquiry into what happened and he wants to make sure the truth comes out. Within the letter, Jacintha calls into question some of the treatment she received at the hospital."
In another note, Jacintha Saldanha describes how she struggled to come to terms with the prank call by the two Australian DJs. The third and final letter is practical and deals with her funeral plans.
The body of the mother-of-two was discovered in her room in staff quarters last Friday. Two of the notes were found nearby and a third was among her possessions.
Jacintha Saldanha had also sent a number of emails and made telephone calls that police believe might help explain what happened.
During a five-minute hearing at Westminster Coroner's Court yesterday it was revealed that attempts were made to revive the nurse but they were "to no avail".
Detective Chief Inspector James Harman said: "Jacintha Saldanha was found by a colleague and a member of security staff. Sadly she was found hanging.
"There were also injuries to her wrist. The London Ambulance Service was called to the scene. At this time there are no suspicious circumstances."
Scotland Yard detectives are examining the notes, as well as interviewing Jacintha Saldanha's friends, family and colleagues at London's King Edward VII hospital.

Q: Visual Studio 2015 Community and 2013 Express side by side install not working I currently have VS 2013 express installed and want to additionally install VS 2015 Community Edition (Win 8.1).
According to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms246609.aspx this should work I think but when running the VS 2015 Community Edition installer the install location chooser is greyed out and points to my VS 2013 Express edition install, which it will overwrite when executing it (I've tried).
How can I point the VS 2015 installer to another location ?

The oldest hotel in the world and one of the largest hotels of Iran and also Isfahan is Isfahan Abbasi Hotel (Shah Abbas Hotel or Abbasi Guesthouse). From Safavid era lots of monuments have been remained such as school complex, a small bazaar and caravanserai that among them Abbasi Guesthouse is the most outstanding. It was built as a caravansary to provide accommodation for passengers. It has been reconstructed since the 1950s to prevent degradation and also development. Definitely, it can be considered as an historical and architectural museum.

Solanco Food Bank
Anticipating the Solanco Food Bank's move into a much larger space are (front row, from left) volunteer Edythe Cwienk, Solanco Pastors' Fellowship (SPF) member Marlin Nafziger, (back) SPF member Gary Griffiths, volunteer Chris Leaman, director Geri Vick, and volunteer Ethel Hess.
By Dayna M. Reidenouer
The Solanco Food Bank will be closed from Thursday to Monday, Oct. 13 to 17. When it reopens on Tuesday, Oct. 18, the food bank will have moved to a new location in the Herr Business Plaza, 349 Buck Road, Quarryville. A separate location within the plaza has already been its home for the past 10 years.
Thanks to changes in the businesses that share the facility, the food bank has been given the opportunity to move across the building into a much larger space. On Oct. 13, the complete staff of JK Mechanical Inc. JK Mechanical will voluntarily spend the day constructing new offices and a larger food bank space.
"We do a community workday each year," explained JK Mechanical vice president Christopher Leaman. "We have around 75 employees, and we like to work together on one big project. We were having a difficult time finding a big enough project, but then we connected with IMPACT Missions. (Director) Matt Beakes had just learned about the food bank project. It quickly became a fantastic fit."
IMPACT Missions, which Beakes founded in 2009, helps local churches and organizations serve their neighbors in the Lampeter-Strasburg, Penn Manor, and Solanco school districts. IMPACT finds service opportunities, provides safe worksites and materials, supplies experienced on-site troubleshooters, and offers a variety of support services for groups who have little to no experience with going on mission trips. During the food bank project, "IMPACT Missions will provide the expertise. JK Mechanical will do the labor," Leaman remarked.
When completed, the food bank will have moved from its current space of just 1,200 square feet into an area of 2,136 square feet with an additional 1,500 square feet of storage. The new space will also include rest rooms and three offices.
"It will give us more room for SWEEP, the Solanco Week End Eating Program," said food bank director Geri Vick. "Volunteers pack bags for 134 kids each weekend."
The bags include enough single-serve, low-preparation foods for a child to eat two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, and two snacks. The recipients are eligible for the program by qualifying for free lunches at school. The SWEEP bags help children in food-insecure situations stay nourished over the weekends.
Volunteers are crucial to the food bank's operation. Ever since the Community Action Program downsized its staff, the responsibility of screening potential food bank clients has been handled by volunteers. Now, though, the Solanco Pastors' Fellowship (SPF), which operates the food bank, has come up with a new plan. The SPF is in the process of developing a new ministry called Solanco Neighborhood Ministries (SNM), which will oversee the assessment of community needs and administrate the food bank, the fuel fund, and the Samaritan fund. A part-time social worker will be hired to administrate the SNM.
The new employee is much needed, as demand has increased from about 50 families visiting the food bank each month to between 70 to 85 per mnoth. Clients are only permitted to utilize the food bank once every three months. Even so, Vick said that she buys $2,500 of groceries every week to keep the food bank stocked.
"We have a lot of businesses that help us," Vick noted.
Vick also calls 43 local churches each month to advise them on the food bank's needs. Currently, the shelves are looking bare, so Vick is anticipating a food drive on Saturday, Oct. 15, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the TownsEdge Village Shopping Center in Quarryville. Donations at the food bank will be accepted through Wednesday, Oct. 12, but there will be a brief haitus while the food bank is moving. Donations will resume again on Oct. 18. Large brown grocery bags are currently at the top of the wishlist.
For more information about the Solanco Food Bank, readers may call 786-4308.

Yemen – The Tyranny of 'Experts' and the Preservation of Hidden History
Home / False Flag Events / Yemen – The Tyranny of 'Experts' and the Preservation of Hidden History
by Vanessa Beeley, The Wall Will Fall
Today I am speaking with Isa Blumi, historian, academic and Yemen expert.
We will be covering a lot of hidden ground in the Yemen conflict – effectively a genocidal war waged by the US and UK and Israel by their Saudi, Qatari and UAE proxies. Isa delves into the realities that are obfuscated by the Legacy Media and Academic embeds, think tanks and narrative managers.
Please follow this link to Isa's most recent academic paper entitled:
Speaking above Yemenis: a reading beyond the tyranny of experts, Global Intellectual History
Excerpt from the introduction
"How will historians a generation or two from now write about this war on Yemen? Will there be any interest in inspecting more deeply what happened, why, and under whose watch such a crime was committed? Or will future historians resort to repeating the dominant frames used to characterize (or ignore) this war on Yemen used today?"
No doubt those considering a deeper look will first consult the media's archives. What they will be surprised to see, perhaps, is how much this disaster in Yemen has been kept out of the daily news. By all accounts, those committing hundreds of billions of dollars to a war on Yemenis would prefer that little to no attention be spent on its atrocities. Corporate media have been happy to oblige.3
Trying to answer why the images of emaciated children and the upwards of 18 million civilians threatened by starvation are not making headlines across the world could itself become the heart of any future study on Yemen's war. Such a task will require, however, moving beyond the security-centered, international relations' frames of analysis prevalent in the available scholarly literature today. Present-day scholars and experts whose salaries are paid by the very regimes imposing this war may prove unhelpful in explaining the journalistic Omerta future historians will wish to study.4
The conventional narrative about the war unleashed by 'coalition' forces positions the US-led 'global community' as a benevolent agent simply aiming to reinstate the 'legitimate' presidency of one Abd-Rabbu Mansur Hadi for the sake of regional stability. Rarely highlighted any longer, this politically meek former vice president was the anointed partner to interests that, in reaction to uprisings in 2010–2011 against globalization, sought to suppress what is known as 'the Arab Spring' by imposing a reliable 'interim government.'5Appointed in 2012 as an alternative to the no longer useful Ali Abdullah Saleh (president since 1978) and a barrier to 'radical' populist groups pushing for the reversal of austerity policies, the Obama and May administrations gave Hadi the task of continuing Yemen's highly unpopular integration into the global economy that had been interrupted by those 2010–2011 'change' uprisings.
Mischaracterized as 'support' for America's imposed counter-revolutionary solution, most of those protesting in 2011 were willing to give the US-directed process a chance considering they faced treats of perpetual violence from various factions vulnerable to populist demands for radical change.
The trouble proved to be that Hadi's actual mandate was to push even more aggressively the very 'structural adjustments' against which Yemen's people protested in the first place. The violence and economic destitution this interim 2012–2014 period produced is all but forgotten in 2019. Such amnesia is critical as it makes it possible today for think tank employees to insinuate that there was no justification for Hadi's removal from the seat of the Yemeni government after his interim two-year
period ended in mid-2014″

This note has been put together with the help of the Information Commissioner to draw the attention of journalists and editors to those provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) that may impact on them as they carry out their professional duties. The DPA carries within it a journalistic exemption and implicit reference to media codes including the PCC Code of Practice. As such, the Commission is from time to time asked questions about how it is applied. Therefore, the Commission has drawn together some of the questions it is most frequently asked. This note is by way of straightforward general guidance only and should not be relied on as legal advice. If you are concerned about how the Act will impact on a specific case you should seek advice from a specialist lawyer.
What is the DPA designed to do? The DPA requires those who use information about individuals for a business purpose to observe rules of good practice when handling information to ensure that such information is used appropriately, and is accurate, relevant, and up to date. It also grants rights to the individual 'data subject' to ask for information from the 'data controller' about such 'personal data', where it came from (subject to some protection of individual sources), to whom it has been passed and, in some cases, to require that there be no further processing of relevant data.
What do 'data processing', 'personal data' and 'data controller' mean?
Very broadly, 'personal data' is information relating to an identifiable, living human being (the 'data subject') which is held electronically and capable of being processed by computer, or held in equivalent non-computerised filing systems. Processing personal data includes obtaining, recording, holding the information or data, or carrying out operations on it such as consulting, adapting, organizing, retrieving, disclosing (which includes publishing), erasing and destroying it.
'Data controller' is a person who 'determines the purposes for which, and the manner in which, any personal data are to be processed'.
Full definitions are contained in the DPA which can be found here. Relevant case law is developing on their legal meaning as the courts consider cases brought under the Act.
Isn't there a journalistic exemption?
The government recognised that the imposition of these rules without exemptions for journalistic, literary and artistic purposes ('the special purposes') would be damaging to freedom of expression. It acknowledged that journalists and the media must be allowed to process data about individuals without having their activities, including newsgathering, investigations and publication, scotched by the Act's requirements. The DPA therefore contains an exemption for personal data that is processed for the special purposes. This exempts newspapers and magazines from compliance in relation to some aspects of the processing of personal data when it is undertaken with a view to publication where this would prejudice journalism.
There are also other safeguards for the media that allow the courts to stay legal action and protect against arbitrary use of investigation and enforcement powers.
Part of the journalistic exemption relates to the public interest. What counts as the public interest? The Act does not define what the public interest means in any context.
However, in the case of the journalistic exemption under section 32, it does say that in considering whether a data controller's belief was reasonable that publication was or would be in the public interest, regard may be had by the court to his compliance with any relevant Code of Practice, designated by order of the Secretary of State. The broadcasters' codes and the PCC Code have been designated. In the case of newspaper and magazine journalism, this therefore clearly means the PCC Code of Practice.
The Code of Practice makes clear that the public interest may be invoked to justify breaching 9 of the 16 clauses of the Code, principally relating to an individual's privacy. It says that the public interest includes detecting or exposing crime or serious misdemeanour, protecting public health and safety, and preventing the public from being misled by some statement or action of an individual or organisation. It also states that there is a public interest in freedom of expression itself, and that the Commission will have regard to the extent to which material has, or is about to, become available to the public. The Commission has made clear on a number of occasions - not least through its case law that has been built up since 1991 - that the examples of the public interest contained within the Code do not constitute an exhaustive list. The Commission's adjudications, which can be found at www.pcc.org.uk, amplify the Code and should be read in conjunction with it.
Are there any other rules on obtaining personal information?
The DPA also regulates the lawful disclosure of information. This note does not deal with how that might be relevant to disclosure to the media, or how journalists might use DPA information rights, or the DPA's inter-relation with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, for which the Information Commissioner also has responsibility.
However, it is important for journalists to understand that in addition to the Act's requirements about the way that personal data can be used, the rights of data subjects and the exemptions to them, it contains some other controls and prohibitions on the way that information can be obtained and disclosed.
There is a specific criminal offence of unlawful obtaining of personal data. A person must not knowingly or recklessly, without the consent of the data controller, obtain or disclose personal data or the information that it contains, or procure the disclosure to another person of the information contained in personal data.
was justified as being in the public interest (see note on the public interest, above). A court would have to decide whether, in the circumstances, obtaining the information without the agreement of the organisation or individual concerned (the data controller) was of sufficient importance to override the protection afforded by the Act.
and also where the data fall within the 'manual data held by public authorities' exemption which is due to come into force on 30 November 2005.
However, it would be advisable to seek legal advice before assuming whether any of these defences will apply. There are other exemptions that may not be as likely to apply to journalists. More information can be found on the website below. How can I find out more about the Data Protection Act? A copy of the Act can be found here. For more information about how the Act has been implemented, you can visit the website of the Information Commissioner at www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk or telephone the office of the Commissioner on 01625 545 700. The website also gives information about the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and its implementation.

Q: Nginx custom 404 page results in 500 internal server error Here is my nginx config:
 server {

    # Running port
    listen 80;

    error_page 404 /404;

    # Settings to by-pass for static files
    location ^~ / {

        # Example:
        # root /full/path/to/application/static/file/dir;
        root /var/www;
        include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
        try_files $uri $uri/ @htmlext;
    }

    location ~ \.html$ {
        try_files $uri = 404;
     }

    location @htmlext {
            rewrite ^(.*)$ $1.html last;
    }
}

The intention is to show the page /404 when a 404 error occurs.  However, I'm now getting a 500 Internal Server Error when I visit a nonexistent page.  Why?

A: I think your main problem is here : rewrite ^(.*)$ $1.html last; and the use of the last flag.
Here is what the doc says :

If these directives [rewrite] are put inside location, the last flag
  should be replaced by break, or otherwise nginx will make 10 cycles
  and return the 500 error

This is what we can see in the Logs. Here i've asked for fake.html which does not exists :
[debug] 3480#0: *1 http script var: "/fake.html.html.html.html.html.html"
[debug] 3480#0: *1 trying to use file: "/fake.html.html.html.html.html.html" "/var/www/fake.html.html.html.html.html.html"
[debug] 3480#0: *1 http script var: "/fake.html.html.html.html.html.html"
[debug] 3480#0: *1 trying to use dir: "/fake.html.html.html.html.html.html" "/var/www/fake.html.html.html.html.html.html"
[debug] 3480#0: *1 trying to use file: "@htmlext" "/var/www@htmlext"
[error] 3480#0: *1 rewrite or internal redirection cycle while redirect to named location "@htmlext"....
[debug] 3480#0: *1 http finalize request: 500, "/fake.html.html.html.html.html.html?" a:1, c:7
[debug] 3480#0: *1 http special response: 500, "/fake.html.html.html.html.html.html?"

Interesting ! ;)
So, replace your rewrite rule by : rewrite ^(.*)$ $1.html break;
Alternatively, you can return a 404 if none of the file exists in the try_files directive :
try_files $uri $uri/ @htmlext =404;

However, at this point, your custom 404 page should not work.
Here's what i suggest :
server {
    # Running port
    listen 80;

    error_page 404 /404.html;

    location ~^/404.html {
       root /var/www;
       internal;
    }

    # Your other stuff Here ......
}

A: Try replacing this:
try_files $uri = 404;

with:
try_files $uri =404;

A: A proper way to define 404 page:
error_page 404 /404.html;
location  /404.html {
    internal;
}

These are nascent technologies, with only a few even claiming, but not proven, to be ready for commercialization. A review of this sector was conducted to identify the best drop-in fuel technologies and their providers from forestry biomass. The report was interactive, with embedded hyperlinks to major references and company websites using or developing wood-to-(drop-in) fuel processes. Much of the information was taken from the proprietary database of Sixth Element, which includes over 1,000 torrefaction, slow pyrolysis, fast pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction, hydrothermal carbonization, and biomass gasification ventures.
Sixth Element Sustainable Management maintains a comprehensive global database of over 1,000 biomass pyrolysis ventures. The Pyrolysis Venture Database is important for investors and entrepreneurs alike. The information is a valuable resource for vetting the investment choices and assessing the competitive position of pyrolysis ventures. Ventures often claim to have the best technology, but have no evidence to back it up. The Pyrolysis Venture Database is a guide to where a venture stands relative to its peers and to the best-in-class technology providers.


When we think about cybersecurity, we most often think about compromised PII — Personally Identifiable Information. PII includes the social security numbers, account numbers, addresses and so on that allow bad actors to open unauthorized accounts in people's names, to drain existing accounts, and to generally create adverse and hard-to-reverse impacts on the victims.
Generating fewer news headlines, but with an equally devastating economic impact, are the ongoing attacks on the infrastructure that underlies the overall functionality of the Internet. Everyone — and every IT organization — is at risk. Let's look at a couple of recent attack methods and consider some good practices for preventing them.
You may remember the massive IT cyberattack against Dyn, one of the Internet's premier DNS service providers. They were the victims of an overwhelming DDOS attack, resulting in some of the world's best-known websites going offline. Twitter, Netflix, PayPal, Spotify and many others fell silent – first on the east coast of North America, and then throughout the entire North American continent and into Europe.
Now imagine that attack directed against your service delivery infrastructure. It's completely plausible. Don't be misled because you are forward-thinking enough to have robust security measures in place. This was a DDOS attack — Distributed Denial of Service — where there is no infiltration of computer and network assets necessary. A DDOS simply requires a number of other computers to be directed to deliver massive amounts of network traffic to your site. This drowns your servers, preventing any useful activity from occurring.
Let's look at a DDOS scenario from your perspective. Your Internet-visible servers have been compromised, but since they are not interfering with your processes, that fact can easily go unnoticed. Even after the attack is underway, your users may only experience some sluggishness in the systems, as the systems are busy sending network traffic out. They may not even complain, just chalking it up to "the server is busy" — or the ubiquitous "it's the network" — but the damage is done.
All of this is troubling. While system performance issues are rampant in every industry, the impact of IT cyberattacks on business performance is measurable and potentially catastrophic. The problem is compounded by the difficulty in detection. The services that you deliver to your customers are inherently time-sensitive. Even if it's immediately apparent, the sources of latency may be difficult to track down.
Immediate losses are only part of the picture. There are also long-term implications due to service outages and overall performance degradation. Customer loyalty can be fickle — a single serious outage may be forgiven, but a repeat will have them looking for alternative solutions. And while the cloud is immensely popular, many IT organizations live with a bit of anxiety about having everything they depend on be out of their direct control.
Transforming your cyber efforts requires a comprehensive and well thought-out strategy that not only focuses on security, but also leverages network operations information.
Smart analytics, a critical component of full-stack monitoring, looks at data over time and creates dynamic baselines. These baselines can also create thresholds based not only on deviations from normal, but on the rate of change of those deviations to escalate an issue based on subtle abnormalities, such as those that emerge in a DDOS attack.
Further, the root-cause analysis component of the ITOM platform can zero in on the components of the infrastructure that may be compromised by an ongoing attack.
If this information is piped through to the security ops teams, it can immensely help their efforts to understand the nature of ongoing threats, and enlighten their defensive efforts.
The emerging threats of today's environment require a rethinking of the traditional paradigm to defend against cyber attacks. Bridging the gap between security and IT operations by leveraging smart analytics and causal information generated by ITOM platforms has the potential to complement and transform your cyber security efforts.
This is part two of a two-part post on cybersecurity.

Just finishing this book by Edward Luce. The full title is 'In Spite Of The Gods: The strange rise of modern India' and it is by some distance the best book about India's recent history (from Independence in 1947 to 2006, when the book was published) that I've ever read.
Personally, I find most books written about India by non-Indians fall into one of the two categories: 1) the "Oh, Mystic-India, oh-so-spiritual" hippy kind and 2) the "India-must-do-better, filth-and-poverty" proscriptive kind.
To a half-Indian who grew up in India, both seem quite patronising if not downright condescending, even though they may make some genuine points.
The books Indians write about themselves are often no better; you find a puzzling disconnect with the real world beyond their borders, and an overblown estimation of their own worth that seems to stem from their belief in Ancient India's achievements (similar to modern Greeks, I find).
Edward Luce's book stands apart from these. He is clearly an India-phile, but doesn't restrain from criticism where due. Scathing in parts, cajoling in others, he wants to see India do well, and he really seems to know his stuff. As well as having amassed an amazing number of interviews with top leaders, he has also put in a substantial amount of travelling and sight-seeing in the 5 years he spent in India.
The chapters of the book are arranged in an order that seems incoherent at first glance, judging solely by the titles. But in fact they knit together so well in the telling of the story of India. There is quite a lot of emphasis on the economics; it is a "big picture" book, which is not surprising given Mr. Luce's background as a Financial Times's Bureau Chief of South Asia at the time of writing.
A must-read for anyone trying to get a grip on the history, politics and economics of modern India.
