It is #CakeSliceBakers time, and we are back with the August cake from World Class Cakes by Roger Pizey. In this month I chose Olive oil cake with fresh peaches to honor my country, Portugal. The Portuguese olive oil, known as 'azeite', is one of the most delicious there are. If you want to know more about it, I founded this article . Here in Portugal it is very common to cook and bake with olive oil. I personally only use olive oil in my coking.
Using olive oil instead of butter gives this cake a lovely light texture with a subtle flavor, as well as cutting back on it's cholesterol contend. It´s positively healthy. In this recipe says to spread the top of the cake with apricot jam when is ready.
I did it at home and I also leave here the recipe.
2– The others ingredients have to be carefully fold into the batter.
We ate a slice of this cake with a small glass of wine Moscatel. This wine is made from a particularly aromatic grape variety, with citrus, flowery, 'grapey' flavours. It ripens to high sugar levels and is ideal for making sweet, fortified wines. These wines tend to have good, balancing acidity, floral, citrus aromas, and flavours of orange or tangerine peel, apricots and butterscotch, turning nuttier and more figgy and raisiny the longer they remain in wooden vat. Minimum time in wood is 18 months, but mostly stays a little longer, while some Moscatel of Douro is aged for 10 or 20 years, and occasional wines are bottled as 'Colheita', with a vintage named on the bottle.
For the jam: Halve and pit apricotes.
Heat de oven to 200 degrees. place sugar in a large shallow pan and put it in oven. Turn off oven and let sugar warm for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, combine the apricots and water in a large kettle over low heat. Cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Then add the warmed sugar and cooking until mixture reaches 221 degrees on a candy thermometer or falls in sheets from a spoon, about 45minutes.
Remove from heat . Ladle jam into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Wipe excess jam from inside and outside rims, then seal.
For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350ºF, and grease a deep 7inround springform cake pan.
Beat together well the eggs, zest, and sugar.
In a jar add the milk and olive oil, alternating add the wet ingredients with the sift flours until well combined. I did it for 3 times starting with the flour and ending up with flour again.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the cake from the oven and if a crust has formed make several cuts at even intervals on the surface of the cake and place the sliced peaches in the cuts.
Return the cake to the oven and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove from the oven, let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, and then turn out onto a wire rack.
While the cake's still warm, brush liberally with the warmed jam for a glossy finish.
Serve a generous slice with a small glass oh grappa or vino santo. Here in Portugal it could be Moscatel Wine.
Mais uma participação no #Cakeslicebakers com o livro World Class Cakes de Roger Pizey. Para este mês escolhi o Bolo de azeite e pêssegos frescos para dar a conhecer o nosso azeite e à "boleia" o vinho Moscatel. É um bolo fácil de fazer, com poucos ingredientes: ovos(poucos), farinha, leite e azeite. Vai ao forno com fatias de pêssego no cimo e para mim uma novidade, colocam-se já com o bolo no forno. Para o sucesso desta receita tem que se bater muito bem ovos com o açúcar, e incorporar com muito cuidado os outros ingredientes para que o bolo não perca a sua leveza que adquiriu com o bater dos ovos.
Utilizei uma técnica que aprendi com a Jemma quando ela fez uma "genoise" de chocolate, que consiste em incorporar o resto dos elementos com uma colher grande. Aquelas que utilizamos para tirar a comida da panela para a travessa/pratos.
Quando cozido o cimo do bolo é pincelado com doce de alperce que eu mesma fiz e deixo a receita. Acrescentei ao doce depois de pronto uma colher de sopa de uma infusão que fiz com uma mistura de ervas e frutos secos que comprei na feira de Tires numa banca chamada Ervan'area com o nome Toranja, Romã e Physalis, acentuando o sabor frutado e dando-lhe um cheiro divinal.
Um bolo simples que pode ser comido ao lanche acompanhado de uma chávena de chá ou um cálice de vinho Moscatel, ficando igualmente bem com uma bola de gelado.
Doce de alperce: Aquecer o forno a 200ºC. Colocar o açúcar numa tigela que possa ir ao forno. Quando o forno atingir a temperatura, desligar e pôr a tigela com o açúcar a aquecer durante 15minutos.
Entretanto colocar numa panela funda os alperces e a água em lume brando e deixar amolecer a fruta +/- 15 minutos.
Deitar o açúcar e deixar cozinhar até o termómetro do açúcar atingir 221ºC . O processo demora no total +/-45 minutos.
Bolo: Pré aquecer o forno a 180ºC. Untar uma forma funda com ou sem fundo movível.
Num jarro juntar o azeite e o leite. Numa tigela juntar as farinhas peneiradas.
Na tigela da batedeira com a ponta de varas, na velocidade máxima bater os ovos com o açúcar e as raspas de laranja durante 5 minutos até a mistura dobrar o volume e ficar com uma cor "pálida".
Retirar a tigela da batedeira polvilhar a mistura de ovo com 1/2 da farinha e com uma colher de sopa grande incorporar com movimentos grandes debaixo para cima. Deixar a colher na mistura e verter o azeite com o leite pelas costas da colher como vê na figura e novamente com os mesmos movimentos incorporar na massa. Finalmente o resto da farinha. Esta técnica ajuda a massa a não perder muito volume e o bolo quando cozido ficar "fofinho".
Verter a massa para a forma e levar ao forno 15 minutos. Ao fim desse tempo abrir a porta do forno retirar o bolo e se este já tiver uma crosta, com uma faca fazer oito cortes com intervalos regulares para colocar as fatias de pêssegos e voltá-lo a meter dentro do forno cerca de 45 minutos ou até o palito quando espetado no bolo sair seco. Eu fiz este processo todo com o bolo na porta do forno com cuidado para não me queimar. Na verdade não quis arriscar tirar o bolo completamente do forno como indica a receita.
Retirar o bolo do forno, deixar arrefecer dentro da forma durante 10 minutos e ao fim desse tempo então retirar da forma.
Com o bolo morno pincelar o cimo com o doce de alperce que também deverá estar morno.
Deixar arrefecer por completo e servir.
Homemade apricot jam?! Now that's dedication! Lovely presentation!
I used homemade apricot jam on my cake too… because I happened to have it. My cake was too dry but maybe a glass of your delicious wine would have helped!
Thank you for the two tips! Gorgeous color from your homemade jam! Big Yumms!
Your cake bakes up lovely! And gorgeous jams!
Ana your cake looks fantastic and I love that you used homemade jam. A glass or two of Moscatel wine is the perfect accompaniment.

The European Parliament is discussing an expiry date for startups
Lenard Koschwitz
Lenard Koschwitz joined Allied for Startups in 2015. Since then he built up and led the organisations' public policy activities in Europe. He's passionate about policy and spends much of his time discussing tech and the Digital Single Market. Prior to that he advised a Spokesperson for Justice and Home Affairs in the European Parliament, mainly on data-related policies like privacy and data flows.
Posted in copyright reform, Digital Single Market
July 11th, 2017.
Editor's note: This is a op-ed / guest post from Lenard Koschwitz, Director of European Affairs at Allied for Startups.
Politicians often look for new ways to resolve deadlock, but this manoeuvre should raise eyebrows: in an attempt to overcome controversies with the Copyright Reform, some are proposing an exemption for startups.
While the European Parliament's Internal Market Committee tried a 5-year grace period for nascent startups, the Industry & Research Committee think that 3 years suffice.
Neither proposal is advisable from an innovation and scale-up point of view, and uses startups as puppets of politics. Despite exhibiting good intentions, making regulatory exemptions for startups is to the detriment of all stakeholders involved. For startups, any regulatory exemption means trouble. For Europe's ambition to be the scale-up continent, the idea is more of a curse than a blessing.
A scale-up continent
Before taking a closer look at how an exemption would work for startups, it's worth reflecting where this proposal is coming from, and in what context it stands. In that light, it's hard to oversee a phalanx of initiatives that want to make Europe a startup continent (Startup Manifesto 2013, Capital Markets Union, Digital Single Market and a Data Economy package).
Lately, the emphasis has evolved towards scale-ups. The rationale is clear: we don't only want to be the best place to start a business, but also the place where businesses scale and give back to economies in terms of jobs and tax. And evidence shows that the fruits of these endeavours are beginning to mature, for instance in Portugal.
However, research by Startup Europe Partnership also shows that 94% of startup acquisitions were completed by non-European companies, and 70% of the startups were younger than 5 years. These should be warning signs for European policy makers, because acquisitions happen too soon to bear healthy businesses. Without a scale-up continent, founders rather sell for less than scale their businesses. Therefore, the overall picture of startup policies is still mixed, making the forthcoming legislation all the more important.
A Startup Exemption
The European Commission knows that startups wanting to scale face too many regulatory and administrative barriers. Looking at the regulatory landscape as one important element of the entire startup ecosystem, one might ask what to do. A temporary regulatory shelter (or exemption for startups) is a deceptively easy fix that will ultimately have toxic effects for startups.
The idea that a temporary exemption would allow startups to grow to a size at which they can comply is fundamentally flawed and will create an armada of tiny companies at best.
First of all, the fact that a law needs an exemption implies that it's a bad law.
Instead of a moderated middle ground, laws working with exemptions have a bipolar effect. While handing a temporary shelter to one group, they overburden the other – both scenarios fall short of the ambition legislation ought to have. Secondly, startups are not only extremely diverse, mobile and often pivoting – they are also a moving target in the public policy sense. There are good reasons why we do not have a special regime such as for SMEs or a static definition for startups. We want startups to grow rather than to stay below a glass ceiling of say, 10 employees or sell after 3 – 5 years for that matter.
To underline the futility of an exemption, let us project how this law would play out for all stakeholders.
Sartup founders would need to consider the expiry date from day one, asking themselves what can be accomplished in the time of exemption (whether this be 3 or 5 years). The certainty that the regulatory load will change tremendously afterwards would impede the company from the outset. It would motivate founders to sell the company before that, or dissuade them from starting in the first place.
Rather than growing sustainable businesses, Europe would stay an early stage nest – as we discussed above. Besides that, startup employees in Europe would be the first to feel the pressure of an exemption. Since hiring long-term employees becomes tougher, startups would hire more freelancers. This is to the detriment of both parties and sadly falls short of the potential of Europe's brightest talents.
Investors, for their own reasons, would be caught between a rock and a hard place.
While VC funds deeply believe in the respective startups' idea and team they have to conduct strict due diligence on the viability throughout the next 10 – 15 years, which is the average time-span of funds in Europe. A regulatory exemption would prescribe a sharp drop to every startup investment in Europe, while others in the global market grow.
Recalling the European Commission's repeated public declarations that more VC is needed for Europe, creating two regulatory regimes surely will not help attract investors. Worryingly, this concerns deep-tech sectors like artificial intelligence, where Europe is showing high promise.
Ecosystem players like universities, incubators and accelerators would receive short shrift from an expiry date. While future talent, entrepreneurs, developers and engineers might study in Europe, they'll know that career options are better abroad. Alumni could hardly hope to find a stable job where they received their education, and might look for alternatives outside Europe.
A True Digital Single Market?
The overarching goals of the Digital Single Market are simplification and harmonisation.
While designing this Digital Single Market not specifically for, but in consideration of startups, the European Union has mostly been on the right track. An exemption could undo the progress made in Europe's startup landscape. We've argued that artificially fragmenting the market through the addition of an arbitrary legal ceiling will be a lose-lose scenario for all stakeholders and will have an effect that is opposite to the intention.
When the European Parliament votes on seemingly popular ideas around startups these days, MEPs should remember that the bottom line is the creation of one single market.
Startups would be thankful for giving them the chance to grow in Europe.

What Can You Do with a Naval Engineering Degree?
Naval engineering encompasses the research, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of ships, off-shore platforms, and on-shore support facilities. Programs incorporate coursework that prepares students for careers as naval architects, who design ships, and marine engineers, who monitor and maintain shipboard systems and machinery. Foundational classes include engineering sciences, electrical technology, and industrial chemistry.
Naval engineering degree programs are often offered through a school's mechanical engineering department.
It is important to select a program that is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
Bachelor's Degree in Naval Engineering – Four Year Duration
Most undergraduate degree programs in this field combine naval architecture – the design of ships – with marine engineering – the maintenance of shipboard systems and equipment. The typical curriculum is composed of credits in general education, math and science, and engineering. It is not uncommon for students of naval engineering to spend time at sea, normally during the summer, to gain operating experience.

Master's Degree in Naval Engineering – One to Two Year Duration
At the master's level students can design their program in consultation with a faculty member, to focus on their particular area of interest. Possible concentrations include design, production, and management; dynamics and control; hydrodynamics; marine and offshore structures; marine renewable energy; robotics and autonomy; structural and hydro-acoustics; and yacht design. The program's culminating requirement is a thesis based on original research.
Doctoral Degree in Naval Engineering – Five to Six Year Duration
The master's program involves a lot of taught courses. It emphasizes the transition from pure subject learning to independent research. On the other hand, the doctoral degree is like a very long dissertation project. Ph.D. students have a great deal of independence. They have the benefit of supervision from a faculty advisor and may complete some taught classes, but their focus is on their independent research, on contributing original – new – knowledge to the field of naval engineering.
Below are some examples of graduate level courses in naval engineering, as well as a description of each of the concentration/research areas listed above in the master's degree section. The courses taken by individual master's degree and Ph.D. candidates will vary, depending on the focus of their thesis or dissertation.
Possible Graduate Level Courses
Ship Production and Industrial Engineering – build strategy, shipyard layout and equipment, manufacturing techniques, outfitting and painting techniques, material properties, corrosion, welding, fatigue, and composite materials
Business Acumen for Technical Leaders – managerial accounting, strategy and performance, market evaluation, operations management, negotiations and contract management, business-case building and valuation

Yacht Design – architectural design of high-performance sailing yachts; aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, stability, structures, and fluid dynamics
Aerospace engineering degree programs teach the analytical, computational, and engineering and design skills needed to work in the aerospace industry. Students learn how to apply this knowledge to the manufacturing, testing, and monitoring of civil or commercial aircraft, military aircraft, missiles, rockets, spacecraft, lunar vehicles, and space stations.
Degree programs in architectural engineering combine architecture and engineering. Their goal is to produce engineers with technical skills in all aspects of building design and construction. Courses, therefore, cover subjects like architectural drawing and design, building construction, lighting and acoustics, energy systems, and fire safety.
This degree field is focused on the processes of design and planning of civil infrastructure like roads, tunnels, bridges, dams, railroads, and airports. In their work, civil engineers are concerned with such things as how much weight a structure can support and the environmental issues presented by construction. The emphasis of civil engineering degree programs is math, statistics, engineering systems and mechanics, building codes, and statistical analysis.
Students of electrical engineering learn how to use physics, electronics, and electromagnetism to design devices that are powered by or produce electricity. Most degree programs in the field start with foundational classes in calculus, physics, and chemistry.
Engineering technology programs teach the engineering skills required to assist engineers in their work. Common classes are computers for engineering technology, structural systems, strength of materials, and technical drawing. In addition to aerospace engineering technology, subfields include automotive engineering technology, civil engineering technology, construction engineering technology, electronics engineering technology, mechanical engineering technology, and industrial engineering technology.
Students of mechanical engineering learn how to research, design, develop, and test mechanical and thermal devices, including tools, sensors, engines, and machines. These devices serve many industries, including the aerospace, medical, energy, and manufacturing sectors. In addition to coursework in engineering and design, degree programs in the field include classes in mathematics, life sciences, and physical sciences.
Degree programs in petroleum engineering teach students how to find and safely and environmentally remove petroleum and natural gas from the earth.
Robotics Engineering
Robotics engineering is focused on designing robots and robotic systems than can perform duties that humans are either unable or prefer not to perform.
The process of earning a degree in naval engineering leaves students with a notably wide scope skills:
Blueprint Reading/Understanding
Technical / Mechanical – math and physics; design techniques; working with drawings, models, and CAD software
Project Management / Leadership – leading teams; complying with standards and regulations; decision-making
Communication – interacting with clients, management, and staff
Creativity – developing and improving on solutions
Critical / Analytical Thinking – critically analyzing complex problems
Conflict Resolution – reconciling differences among team members
Organization and Time Management – efficient scheduling and planning
Attention to Detail – precise design and implementation
Problem-Solving – responding to challenges and issues in a calm and efficient manner
Visualization – transforming architectural/aesthetic designs into functional ones
Graduates with naval engineering degrees find employment in the various sectors of the field:
Classification Societies – private companies whose mandate is to rate new ships based on predefined technical standards and then to assign the ships a 'class' according to their design
Marine Suppliers
Marine Surveying – marine surveyors inspect all types of ships to determine seaworthiness
Model Basins – a model basin is a tank in which ship models are tested by being towed at various speeds
Offshore Industry – oil rigs, power generation projects such as offshore wind turbines and tidal power

The International Maritime Organization has designated NAVTEX as the primary means for transmitting coastal urgent marine safety information to ships worldwide.
If you're on a boat or other vessel, have a Macintosh and a radio, and need to received NAVTEX transmissions, then MultiMode is the program for you.
NAVTEX is transmitted on three frequencies. 518 kHz is the primary frequency, some local language transmissions also take place on 490 and 424 kHz.
NAVTEX broadcasts are sent using the SITOR-B method, using a pair of audio tones. All you need is a marine or other receiver that can tune in 518 kHz, and a Macintosh computer (laptops work fine, as long as they have sound input available). Just connect the audio (speaker) output of the radio into the microphone input of your Mac. If your Mac doesn't have sound input, you can use a USB sound input device, like the Griffin iMic.
Then download and run a copy of MultiMode. Select SITOR mode in MultiMode, and click the B button to select SITOR-B (NAVTEXT) mode. Check the Parse NAVTEXT box if you want the four letter codes displayed as plain text.
If your radio has a RTTY mode, use that, as it will produce the best results. Tune in to 518 kHz. Set the Center Frequency in MultiMode to that of the audio tones coming out of the radio, usually around 2200 Hz, check your radio's manual. You may have to click on the INV button in MultiMode if the audio tones from your radio are reversed. But usually you don't for RTTY mode.
If your radio does not have RTTY mode, then you will need to use SSB mode. You can use either LSB or USB. If you use LSB mode, tune your radio to 520 kHz. If you use USB mode, tune your radio to 516 kHz. Set the Center Frequency in MultiMode to 2000 Hz. If you are using USB mode, make sure the INV button is highlighted, to select INVERT mode, if using LSB mode, make sure it is turned off.
The above picture shows the tuning indicator in MultiMode, when a NAVTEX broadcast has been properly tuned in.
MultiMode will synchronize to any detected NAVTEX transmission, and start printing the received text. That's it!
The word PHASE will display in BLUE when the phasing signal is being received. GOOD will appear in green when valid text is beign received, and BAD will appear in red when invalid text is being received. That could be due to poor reception quality, interference, an incorrect center frequency selected, INV being incorrectly selected, or no valid NAVTEX transmission being received.
MultiMode - Decodes weather fax and satellite images on your Macintosh, without the need for extra hardware.


It's March and I have 3–foot–high plowed banks of snow on my driveway, a good excuse to not get my trailer out of the garage to take it to Albany, Ore. for the Northwest Fly Tyer and Fly Fishing Expo. I got a hotel room. High school sophomore Maxine McCormick, multi-time world fly casting champion, demonstrated casting at the Expo this year. I have seen her cast before and she was remarkable. I hope you made it to the Albany Expo this year and I hope you joint Washington State Council's Fly Fishing Fair in Ellensburg May 3rd and 4th. Online registration is up and running and we have collected a great group of tyers and casters, as well as our Celebrity Fly Fisher, Gary Borger. By the way, I stole the title of my column, Prime Lies, from him.
Our volunteers have put a huge amount of work into this endeavor. Please come out and join the fun and learning. If you are coming and have some free time, consider volunteering for such things as making the coffee, helping with the raffles, setting up the tables on Thursday, and a thousand other things. Contact Carl Johnson or me if you can help.
There will be a few changes this year in the Fair with a Fly Tying Theater, tying lessons and demonstrations by Gary Borger. In addition, we will be holding a Continuing Education (CE) program Saturday afternoon for all casting instructors, whether they are FFI certified or not. We just want to improve fly casting instruction for everyone and we know there are lots of people out there teaching fly casting through clubs and shops who have been excluded from CE events in the past. All those people are now welcome to attend this Saturday afternoon program. Everyone is better off if we can improve fly casting instruction. If you can't commit a full afternoon to CE, Don Simonson and Robert Gerlach will be doing a workshop for club casting instructors.
Thursday evening will be a free dinner for volunteers and the famous dessert auction to raise money for groups like Project Healing Water. Friday evening is the Awards Banquet and Live Auction. Be sure to attend and help recognize some of the great people who have worked so hard for the Council and help raise money for other deserving organizations. Both events will have a no host bar. Will Godfrey will be the auctioneer again this year for the live auction. That man knows how to run an auction. It's always a blast.
Finally, Saturday evening the Yakima River Headwaters TU Chapter is sponsor the Fly Fishing Film Tour right in the main hall in the armory.
To register, go to the Washington State Council website www.wscffi.org then go to Fly Fishing Fair in the black banner and then to the bottom of that page. I'm registered, are you?


Poetry deals with primal and conventional things — the hunger for bread, the love of woman, the love of children, the desire for immortal life. If men really had new sentiments, poetry could not deal with them. If, let us say, a man did not feel a bitter craving to eat bread; but did, by way of substitute, feel a fresh, original craving to eat brass fenders or mahogany tables, poetry could not express him. If a man, instead of falling in love with a woman, fell in love with a fossil or a sea anemone, poetry could not express him. Poetry can only express what is original in one sense — the sense in which we speak of original sin. It is original, not in the paltry sense of being new, but in the deeper sense of being old; it is original in the sense that it deals with origins.
In her poetry collection Tickets for a Prayer Wheel, Annie Dillard included a response to this passage. I include it here for interest's sake. Despite her contradiction of Chesterton's thesis, the ideas animating the poem are remarkably Chestertonian.
no, no tricks. Just the man and his wish, alone.
reality rounds his mind like rings in a tree.
Love is the factor, love is the type, and the poem.
Is love a trick, to make him commonplace?
this close-grained, scented slab, my fellow creature.
He knows he can't feed on the wood he loves, and he won't.
desire to drink and sup at mahogany's mass.
as to a cross. Oh, this lanky, sunburnt cross!
Is he sympathetic? Do you care?
on your outboard motor's pattern in the water.
some love molds you heavier than air.
and peoples air with weights of green desire.

"Waste-to-energy is the dirtiest form of electricity production after coal"
10 March 2021 /in Environment, News /by Matteo Cavallito
United Kingdom is betting on waste-to-energy, thus promoting CO2 emissions. A Channel Four investigation highlights the climate implications
by Matteo Cavallito
Recycling is an indispensable strategy for global sustainability. But in some cases the process of selection, collection, disposal and reuse breaks down too early. That means more waste-to-energy and climate and environmental impact. This was reported by a Channel 4 investigation on the loopholes in the waste management system in the United Kingdom. As part of its inquiry, the broadcaster had access to a report by consultancy firm Eunomia, commissioned by the ClientEarth. According to the study, the Guardian reports, "as coal is phased out, energy from waste will become the dirtiest form of electricity production in the UK." By 2035, moreover, incineration will be a more carbon-intensive process than even landfill.
Plastic packaging: Europe faces a waste problem
In England less than half of waste is recycled
According to the findings, The Guardian writes, an average 11% of the waste meant to be recycled is actually burnt in incinerators. A true mockery for 87% of British households who declare to comply with basic recycling rules. With clear consequences. In 2019, in England alone the volume of incinerated waste exceeds recycled materials: 11.6 million tons vs. 10.9. UK largest nation, in other words, is still not recycling enough. The problem is also shared by European Union, which is notoriously inadequate in recovering plastic waste, most of which is also responsible for soil pollution. Recycling, anyway, is supposed to be a crucial element for the circular economy, which is becoming an increasingly important model as climate and sustainability goals are set at a global level.
A negative impact on climate
In the past, the Guardian writes, "objections to incineration largely centred on air quality and public health concerns, but the focus has shifted. In the age of net zero and ahead of COP26, today's campaigners are looking at emissions and insisting that the green claims of the incineration industry are subject to scrutiny." In the U.K., the newspaper says, waste-to-energy producers are required to provide information on CO2 release. However, "they must account only for the C02 from burning fossil-based waste such as plastic" thus excluding "emissions from food and garden waste, known as biogenic C02."
A Bruxelles nasce una rete per rafforzare la bioeconomia circolare
UK is still betting on incineration
Despite warnings, the waste-to-energy sector seems to be doing pretty well. Today the UK hosts 48 incinerators for energy production and a further 18 are expected to be built in the future, unless plans are changed in the meantime. Recently, the Guardian reports, "the Welsh government declared a moratorium on new waste incinerators as part of its drive towards a circular economy."
Last month the secretary of state for business, energy and industrial strategy, Kwasi Kwarteng, opposed to plans for a large energy-from-waste incinerator in Kemsley, in Kent. "One of the reasons cited was that the incinerator would cannibalise recycling."

Support Exchange 5.0 to 2017.
It supports Outlook 97 to 2016 or Office 365.
It recovers mail messages in plain text, RTF and HTML format.
OST Extractor Pro is a data extraction tool offering complete and exact OST to PST conversion. If you want to recover and extract your data back from OST to a PST file, this would be your best tool to complete the job.
What is OST and PST?
There are basically two types of data files used by Outlook – OST and PST. OST is an offline data file, typically associated with Microsoft exchange server and is just the copy of the folders on mail server. You may be having your data stored in an OST file, which makes it difficult to render the data back in a similar way as PST file does. OST files can only be opened by using the same account that created it.
If you use Microsoft Exchange account, your files are delivered to a mail server. OST files are created for you to work offline even when you are not connected to the mail server. The data gets synced to the server when the connection is established back.
On the other hand, PST file is a file used for archiving the data and is used in POP3, IMAP and web based email accounts.
Most users delete their exchange account not realizing that all the contacts are stored on it, and then simply backup OST files without realizing that it cannot be opened by any other account than the one that created it.
Clearly speaking, there is always a high probability that the OST files are inaccessible and the data gets stuck inside them. You cannot recover the data if the original Outlook profile is missing that created it. The only option remains is to convert OST files to PST in order to retrieve all the data back, including, contacts, tasks, reminders, calendar items, emails, and attachments.
Then again, OST to PST conversion is as complex and multifarious as it can get. The process of data extraction from an OST file is always highly challenging and tricky. Not to mention, a huge risk for data loss and corruption.
For that reason, the solution that remains is a clever, informed, and a properly thought-out decision of buying a professional OST to PST extraction tool. There are numerous amount of shrewd companies that claim to bring precision while extracting the data from an OST file. Be wary of such claims as there aren't many tools in the market genuinely offering an effective solution.
Through our own detailed research on email migration tools, we came across a tool by USL Software called "OST Extractor Pro".
It is a windows based tool, designed for one particular task and that is to convert OST files to PST and retrieve all the data back with high accuracy. The software's specialized algorithms and sharpness of programming ensures no data fidelity issues during the process. Moreover, the sharp emphasis on a specific function warrants the tool's proper functioning.
This is by far the only tool that gives 100% results in OST to PST conversions. If you want to recover all your data from OST files, converting them to PST is indisputably the best way, and OST to PST converter is how you do it without any possible error.
Get OST Extractor Pro for hassle free recover your data and convert ost to pst.

Q: Livereload only on changes in public folder I'm using Grunt to watch for changes in my sass/js files and the compile them into my public folder. I've setup a Livereload feature that's working fine but when I compile my js the Livereload reloads my page 2 times which is annoying. I think this is because I have multiple JS files that are created during the watch (concat, minify).
So I thought it might be a good idea to only reload on changes in my public folder since (for now) I only have one js file (uglify.js) and one css file (main.css). But I can't see how I can get that working.
This is how my current gruntfile looks:
    module.exports = function (grunt) {

        // Project configuration.
        grunt.initConfig({
            watch: {
                watch_js_files: {
                    files: ['js/*.js'],
                    tasks: ['concat', 'minified', 'uglify'],
                },
                watch_sass_files: {
                    files: ['css/*.scss'],
                    tasks: ['sass'],
                }
            },
            connect: {
                server: {
                    options: {
                        open: true,
                        keepalive: true,
                        hostname: 'localhost',
                        port: 8080,
                        base: ''
                    }
                }
            },
            concat: {
                dist: {
                    src: ['js/*.js'],
                    dest: 'js/min/concat.js'
                },
            },
            minified: {
                files: {
                    src: ['js/min/concat.js'],
                    dest: 'js/min/minified.js'
                },
            },
            uglify: {
                my_target: {
                    files: {
                        'public/js/uglify.js': ['js/min/minified.jsconcat.js']
                    }
                }
            },
            sass: {
                dist: {
                    files: {
                        'public/css/main.css': 'css/*.scss'
                    }
                }
            }

        });

        grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
        grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');
        grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-minified');
        grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
        grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
        grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-connect');

    };

A: I've added a reload task in my watch:
        reload: {
            files: ['*.html', 'public/css/*.css', 'public/js/*.js'],
            options: {
                livereload: true,
                host: 'localhost',
                port: 35729,
            }
        },

And now it works :)

Workplace Injuries and Accidents
Criminal Violations
2 dead, 4 injured in fiery drunk driving accident
On behalf of Ralph A. Schwartz, PC | Sep 9, 2015 | Drunk Driving Accidents, Firm News
Auto accidents occur for a multitude of reasons. In Nevada and elsewhere, those in or near the roadway are at risk of a drunk driving accident at any time of day. Early one recent Saturday morning, the occupants of a minibus became the unsuspecting victims of an apparent drunk driving accident. Two died and four were hurt as a result of the collision.
At around 7 a.m., an accident occurred at a Las Vegas intersection. A 24-year old man drove his BMW through a red light, and his car hit a minibus. Police report that the minibus overturned, and the BMW spun into another vehicle at the intersection. The minibus and the car that hit it caught fire, completely destroying the minibus.
Sadly, two of the people in the minibus were pronounced dead at the scene while three other occupants were taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for injuries. The BMW driver suffered moderate injuries. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police state that the man was charged with two counts of DUI resulting in death and three counts of DUI resulting in substantial bodily harm.
Victims who have been injured in a drunk driving accident typically have the right to sue the driver deemed responsible for the accident. Families of victims who have been killed in a drunk driving accident have a similar right to pursue a wrongful death claim in a civil court. A successful claim may result in compensation that can be used for medical costs, funeral expenses where applicable and a host of other damages recognized by applicable laws.

Try this function instead for check boxes which should be an array. Don't use '0' as checkbox value.
function ccheck()

        }
        else
        {
            add_option( 'check_clr', $_POST['check_clr'] );
        }
    }

    $check_clr=get_option( 'check_clr' );

SuperPhillip's Favorite Anime Themes - Round Four
We've reached the end of another week here at SuperPhillip Central. To celebrate, let's dig out the favorite anime themes to cap off the week in style. This time around we're listening to music from Samurai Champloo, Fooly Cooly, and Ghost in the Shell.
Volume 16: Battlecry [feat. Shing02] (Samurai Champloo)
Samurai Champloo came from some of the fine folks who worked on the Cowboy Bebop anime. In the case of this one, it was much more upbeat. It took place in feudal Japan where samurais were a dime a dozen. Fortunately, Mugen and Jinn weren't a dime a dozen at all. In fact, they could kick the butt of nearly anyone that got in their way. When a coin toss goes the way of Fuu, a troublesome girl, both Mugen and Jinn (two warriors destined for battle) agree to tag along with her to find the man who smells of sunflowers. It's a basic description for the premise, yes, but it gets the job done. What was unique about this anime was that the music was almost entirely hip-hop.
Volume 17: Advice (FLCL)
Advice is a song performed by the Pillows, a band formed in 1989 in Japan. The group has an expansive discography, and it was from the anime, FLCL (or Fooly Cooly) that I was introduced to them. I've been a fan ever since. The production team behind FLCL asked of the Pillows to provide three past albums as part of the soundtrack for the short six-episode anime. The band agreed, and musical history was made. As for the anime, it seemed this is what anime producers make when they're in a foul mood. Well, hope these guys have more bad days in the future!
Volume 18: Red Green Wild Pokémon Battle (Pokémon)
Pokémon was such a giant hit for me. I played the original games, I collected the cards, I drew comics, and I watched the anime. Pokémon was a phenomenon, and for newer generations it continues to be one. You're never too old to play Pokémon in my opinion. It's such an addicting franchise. Regardless, I got bored with the anime after all the recycled Team Rocket jokes, plotlines, and material, so I skipped out after the Kanto region episodes. This theme from Pokémon Red and Green (or Red and Blue as it is here in the West) is the Wild Pokémon battle theme. Watch Ash has he tries to catch 'em all, gives away his Pokémon, and then tries to catch 'em all all over again.
Volume 19: Zero Signal (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society was a one-off movie in the GitS: SAC (what a mouthful) franchise. I personally haven't watched it yet. I'm waiting for adult swim to maybe show it. Nonetheless, this song seriously rocks. It starts off with female vocals followed by a stirring beat. Then comes the hardcore rock which seriously kicks ass. The ending rock arrangement is perfect, and shows that stuff is about to go down if it hasn't already. While the anime itself is confusing to me (I'm a simple superhero after all), I do respect the creators and especially Mrs. Kanno and her great talents.
Volume 20: Heaven's Not Enough (Wolf's Rain)
Coming as the first track from the second Wolf's Rain OST, Heaven's Not Enough is performed by Steve Conte, a performer who Yoko Kanno would use often and many times in her productions. Wolf's Rain has a group of wolves who can shapeshift into human beings in an instant, longing for a mystical land known as paradise. Whether or not they reach their destination is something I'll leave for you to find out. Produced by the same team that came up with Cowboy Bebop, this anime was a departure from the jazz stylings of Bebop. The score was more symphonic in tone and featured some heart-tugging themes including this one.
That's all she wrote for this round of anime themes. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for the next five excellent anime themes to be heard on a date that is to be determined.

Mega Man X (SNES, VC) Retro Review
It's been about a month since our last Retro Review, so let's rectify that with a new one. It's for a game that was recently released on the Wii's Virtual Console service. It's Mega Man X, the Super Nintendo classic.
A New Age of Mega Man Has Begun
Since his debut in 1987, the blue bomber, Mega Man has been busting his way into the hearts of gamers ever since. After five sequels the formula was beginning to grow dull. That changed in 1994 when Mega Man X hit North America like a charged-up X-buster shot. With new abilities and the same old formula for success, Mega Man X would become a new franchise all on its own and one of Capcom's most well-known heroes.
The year is 20XX. Dr. Cain has stumbled upon a capsule containing Mega Man X, a reploid designed by the late Dr. Thomas Light in an attempt to create a robot that can think for itself and know from right and wrong. It's just in time, too, as a sinister reploid by the name of Sigma has unleashed eight Mavericks onto the world, and it's up to X and his best friend, Zero, to put an end to them before Sigma's forces put an end to mankind. The story itself is an unobtrusive as possible. As soon as you boot up the game, you're thrown right into the first level, the Central Highway.
Introducing one of the main antagonists of MMX, Vile.
Mega Man X plays similarly to the classic Mega Man series, but it does have its distinct differences. For example, X can scale up walls unlike the original Mega Man. He can upgrade his armor by coming across hidden capsules strewn about the game's eight Maverick levels. These range from halved damage body armor to the ability to hold down a button to charge his X-buster. Additionally, X can obtain heart tanks to increase his health permanently. These are also placed in secret or hard-to-reach locations, one in each of the eight Maverick levels.
Capsules like this one bestow a multitude
of new abilities for X to inherit.
Instead of having bosses with names like Cut Man and Bomb Man, the bosses in Mega Man X are named after animals such as Launch Octopus, Chill Penguin, and Storm Eagle. Each boss can be beaten with X's default buster for a challenge, but the real treat is finding a given boss' weakness. You see, when a boss is defeated, just like the classic series, X inherits their weapon. For instance, Flame Mammoth's weapon unleashes a wave of fire that incinerates foes and just happens to be the weakness of Chill Penguin. The fun of this all is that you get to choose the order you tackle the eight Mavericks. You can make the game as easy or as hard as you want to in your choices.
Sigma's Mavericks aren't going to go down without a fight.
Each level in Mega Man X has its own theme from the forest of Sting Chameleon to the power plant of Spark Mandrill to the tower of Boomer Kuwanger. Each level can last anywhere between five to ten minutes in length. They're littered with varying types of enemies from series mascot Mettaurs to standbys like Sniper Joe. In one level you'll be riding a handcart as it wildly runs down the track whereas in another you'll be leaping across platforms hovering dangerously over a bottomless pit. Each level is well-designed, and there's over a dozen to play, including Sigma's levels where you once again encounter the slain Mavericks you did battle with previously.
Flame Mammoth can slow you down
with oil, and then set it on fire.
Visually, Mega Man X packs a huge wallop. The backgrounds are heavily detailed, sprites are meticulously crafted, and the special effects are impressive. There's sometimes a bit of slowdown and flickering sprites when things get overly-action-packed, but other than that the game runs like a dream. It's otherwise perfect and keeps up with the action nicely. On the audio side of things, the sound effects seldom grow grating, and the music is quite memorable.
Mega Man X is one of the best 16-bit platformers you will find. It has just recently been released on the Wii's Virtual Console, so if you lack the Mega Man X Collection (PS2, GCN) or the Super Nintendo original, you can download it for eight bucks directly from the service. It's definitely worth it as this game permeates the word "classic". X, indeed, marks the spot.
[SuperPhillip Says: 9.5/10]

Most Overlooked DS Games - Part Five
We've reached Tuesday and the fifth installment of the Most Overlooked DS Games. This list provides you with information regarding games that were glossed over by the gaming community or sold poorly by consumers. With that in tow, let's get started, but first, check out past installments of this series:
DS - Part One
DS - Part Two
DS - Part Three
DS - Part Four
Now it's time for the main event...
The second of the Dragon Quest remake trilogy on the Nintendo DS, Hand of the Heavenly Bride is one of my favorite Dragon Quests period. This game is pretty rare nowadays at it sold so badly that only print run was given to it. However and recently, Amazon has restocked the game indicating that there might have been a second printing of the game. Track down a copy while you can as this game is one of the best in the Dragon Quest series.
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
Camelot returns to the Golden Sun franchise with a new entry exclusively for the DS. It's been years since we've seen the Isaac and the gang, and this time we're playing as their descendants. The new 3D models might not be as charming as the Game Boy Advance installments' 2D sprites, but don't let that deter you from picking up this excellent RPG. A bit on the easy side battle-wise, the puzzles are intuitive, the secrets are many, and the soundtrack is terrific. Look out for Golden Sun: Dark Dawn today.
Radiant Historia
Travel to the past to save the future in this time-traveling RPG with turn-based combat, multiple endings, and a brilliant soundtrack. Radiant Historia is the type of game that Best Buy doesn't carry in its stores, so you can bet that this game is going to get rare soon. The sprites used in this game are simply exquisite, and the story and script are both sublime. If you're looking for an innovative and charming JRPG for your DS, look no further than Radiant Historia.
While I didn't appreciate Okami's second offering as much as most, Okamiden came out to little fanfare. In between the launches of Pokemon Black and White and the Nintendo 3DS, Capcom couldn't have picked a worse time to release this game. It follows the story of Chibiterasu and his partners as they attempt to save Nippon from impending doom. The stylus controls make drawing a breeze unlike the console originals, and Capcom really pushed the DS to its limits graphically with this one. For a Zelda-lite experience on the DS, Okamiden is the game for you.
Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors
This Mature-rated game features an excellent, gripping story in this dark thriller. A college student wakes up to find himself aboard a ferry with numbered doors littered all over the place. He has to play a game of life and death to escape with his soul intact. Solve puzzles to unwind the threads of this mystery and seek out the true ending to obtain the ultimate satisfaction in Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors for the Nintendo DS.
There goes another edition of Most Overlooked. Do you have any games you'd add to this list? Let me know in the comments section.

SuperPhillip's Favorite VGMs - Character Parade Edition
Welcome to a new week on SuperPhillip Central. As always we begin with the favorite VGMs. This week we'll visit with characters such as Mega Man X, Mario, Professor Layton, and Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Nothing to it but to do it!
v706. Mega Man Maverick Hunter X - Opening Stage - Central Highway
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X was a PlayStation Portable remake of the Super Nintendo classic, Mega Man X. There was the ability to play as X nemesis, Vile, new level arrangements, and pretty new visuals to gawk at. The soundtrack was also remixed as evident by the track you're listening to now, Opening Stage - Central Highway. It was great seeing an old 16-bit classic get the remake treatment, and it was an excellent addition to the PSP library. Unfortunately this title was overlooked by many gamers and sold poorly. Thanks, PSP owners. You screwed everyone out of remakes of the sequels!
v707. Mario Party 3 - Chilly Waters
Mario Party 3 was the final game in the trio of Mario Party games for the Nintendo 64. Chilly Waters was the first board in the game full of snowmen, icy traps, and familiar characters from Mario 64. Out of the trio of N64 Mario Party games, Mario Party 3 is the game that I remember the least of. I do know that Waluigi made his first Mario Party appearance in the game, having his own board. He was a playable character, too, alongside Daisy. Out of the Nintendo 64 Mario Parties, though, my favorite happens to be Mario Party 2. The first Mario Party game had too many ridiculous mini-games that required robotic rapid finger movements. You could have the blisters to prove it.
v708. Professor Layton and the Unwound Future - The Professor's Trunk (Minicar)
Professor Layton is a series that features a story where progression is gained through solving simple to complex brain teasers and puzzles. The franchise is still strong having just released its fifth installment in Japan. Of course, the rest of the world has only seen three games. The minicar mini-game had players placing directional tiles to guide the professor's minicar to the goal. The catch is that you only had a limited amount of tiles to work with, and when you throw in the ability to make the car leap, and you have one complex and thoroughly challenging (and fun) mini-game.
v709. Killer7 - Electronical Parade
Nothing like haunting carnival music to get you in the mood to track down and slay Heaven's Smiles. Killer7 was originally planned as one of the Capcom Five, a handful of Gamecube exclusives that would propel the system to new heights. It didn't turn out as planned. Dead Phoenix was canceled, Viewtiful Joe got an upgrade on the PlayStation 2, same with Resident Evil 4, P.N. 03 was a dud, and Killer7 wound up on the PS2 as well. To be fair the Gamecube did get Gotcha Force which almost makes up for it.
v710. Kingdom Hearts II - Dance to the Death
Dance to the Death is the final boss theme of the Beauty and the Beast world in Kingdom Hearts II. The soundtrack was composed by Yoko Shimomura who has an illustrious career. I recently tried my hand at Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, but I was quickly put off by the steep difficulty curve, poor camera and lock-on, and trying to juggle cycling through commands and controlling my guy. As you can read in my review, this is one Kingdom Hearts game you can pass on. As for Kingdom Hearts II, that was a surprisingly great game. Its soundtrack is even better.
That concludes this week's stream of VGMs. Next week there will be five more excellent themes from video games' past. I hope you'll look forward to it.
