PPC set to enter the Algerian cement market
PPC announced that advanced plans are in place to enter the Algerian cement market through a partnership with Algerian private sector investors in Hodna Cement Company.
Hodna will be constructing a 2Mta plant for approximately US$350m in the Hodna area, roughly 300km east of Algiers and close to the university and technology-focused town of Setif.
PPC will acquire a 49 per cent stake of Hodna and assume management control which allows for the consolidation of the financial results of this project into the PPC group accounts. The transaction will be funded on a project finance basis, with 80 per cent debt funding from local Algerian banks.
"The Algerian cement market is very attractive as consumption exceeds local production by approximately 3Mta of cement. Moreover the Algerian government has committed itself to large scale capital spending programmes, including the US$6bn New City Hassi Messaoud project, which will see the rollout of thousands of housing units This will certainly boost the demand of cement in this country," said Ketso Gordhan, CEO of PPC.
Once the feasibility study has been concluded, construction of the plant will take up to 30 months with commissioning anticipated by the fourth quarter of 2016. As with its other expansion projects, PPC intends to engage China's Sinoma International Engineering as the contractor that will supply and build the plant; supported by India's Holtec Consulting, specialists in project management.
PPC noted that the factory site is well located with the necessary raw materials in close proximity. The well-developed road and rail network also assist in managing the cost of logistics.
With a population of close to 40 million people, of which 74 per cent live in urban areas and a relatively high GDP per capita of US$5582, Algeria still requires the construction of 225 000 housing units per year to meet demand. The national housing shortage in Algeria is estimated at 1.2 million units.
Mr Gordhan added: "We are already building cement plants in three countries; Ethiopia, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This project sees us entering yet another African country and gives us confidence that by 2017, 40 per cent of PPC revenues will be earned outside of South Africa."

Researchers from Ohio State University aim to exploit the unique molecular properties of the common ivy plant to boost adhesive technologies in wound healing.
The study began, in part, as a quest to find bioadhesives that could aid in wound healing after injury or surgery--but soon evolved into a complete exploration of the tiny particles responsible for one of nature's most vigorously determined grippers, the English ivy plant. These remarkable plants latch onto trees and buildings, exhibiting enormous amounts of strength and grip as they survive some of the most powerful forces of nature, such as hurricanes and tornadoes.
Yujian Huang, a graduate student at Ohio State University and lead author on the work, says that the study is an improvement on understanding the potential of adhesive properties in nature, and as the study moves forward, could be used as a platform for biomedical solutions.
"In the near future, we will try to utilize what we have learned from nature to develop bioinspired adhesive materials for biomedical application," he says. "The ivy-derived adhesive composites and the overall principles uncovered from the English ivy will serve as templates to guide the design of diverse, functional biomaterials with adhesive properties for specific clinical exploration--involving wound healing, cardiac tissue engineering, drug delivery, and many others."
Don't miss the Minnesota Medtech Week conference and expo, September 21-22, 2016, in Minneapolis.
Huang says their study has really improved the understanding of the mechanisms that control high-strength adhesion of botanic mucilage, which is one of nature's strongest glues. The group believes that these newly uncovered principles could be applied to generate novel engineered glues for the adhesive industry.
"This study reveals the importance of spherical nanoparticles in driving the production of strong adhesion strength within the bioadhesive," Huang says. "This fact implies that analogous concept may be implemented throughout the development of polymeric glues. In other words, we may improve our technologies by fabricating spherical nanoparticles consisting of conventional polymers while preparing the engineered commercial glues."
For years researchers have been exploring nature for clues that could inspire more powerful adhesive properties. In 2014, researchers from Stanford University created adhesive grips inspired from the sticky feet of geckos, a study designed to enhance the grip of robotic arms in manufacturing and in space. Huang says their study isn't the first of its kind, as the quest for understanding adhesion in nature is one that draws as far back as Darwin.
"For many years people have realized the potential benefits to understand and utilize the adhesive properties of natural systems for engineering innovation," Huang says. "In 1876 Charles Darwin reported that ivy rootlets secreted yellowish matter while climbing surfaces, and that a single ivy adhesive disc could support a weight of two pounds, even though the weight of the disc itself was only about 0.5 mg. Our group first discovered spherical organic nanoparticles embedded in the mucilage exuded by English ivy. More importantly, we evidenced that these nanoparticles exert vital roles in supporting the generation of strong adhesion strength within the ivy adhesive by means of biochemical reaction and mechanical strategies."
As their study moves forward, Huang says that there are still plenty of questions to answer when it comes to understanding the mechanical properties of the ivy plant, and learning how to translate those properties to enhance our own adhesive technologies.
"By further identifying the proportions of the nanoparticles and other polysaccharide-based biopolymers, it may shed a light on how to construct the ideal adhesive composites during the manufacturing, since nature always offers us the optimal candidate for inspiration."

Sony Ericsson just announced the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. Sony Ericsson has signed a deal with Microsoft to produce a phone using the Windows Mobile operating system. This marks the first time that Sony Ericsson has not used the Symbian operating system.
The deal between Microsoft and Sony Ericsson was revealed at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where Sony Ericsson announced the launch of seven new mobile handsets.
One of the coolest new models is the Windows Mobile-based Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, which sports a 3" touch screen similar to Apple's iPhone, a nice 800x400 resolution, 3.2 megapixel camera and a tilt and slide keyboard running on Windown Mobile 6. Sony Ericsson's goal is for the XL to "deliver a seamless blend of mobile web communication and multimedia entertainment."
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 has a slick GUI that they call a panel interface which are shortcuts to various features or web locations. It will be available in GSM/EDGE and UMTS andHSDPA/HSUPA. Music and video can be played via Windows Media Player and it will also pick up local radio stations with a built-in FM tuner. So the X1 is also great for gyms that use TVs with FM transmitters for the audio. The huge 800x400 resolution is great for surfing the Internet. The X1 measures 110 x 53 x 16.7 mm and weighs 145 grams.
Sony Ericsson said that the handset would be released in the later part of 2008 but pricing details were not disclosed.

Author Diane Magras' Five Favorite Kids' Fiction Books
Diane Magras | The Children's Book Review | March 30, 2018
When I was a kid, I read voraciously. I was always in the middle of at least one book, and always had two or more in the wings. These days, I don't have time to read quite that much, but I still read a lot, and my favorite kind of book to read is the kind I write: middle grade fiction. I'm very lucky: Middle grade is an exciting, creative field of literature. It was hard to pick my five favorite books (try 40 favorite books; that's more accurate!), but this is a narrowed-down list of books I reread again and again . . .
The Dark is Rising
Written by Susan Cooper
On the day before his 11th birthday, Will Stanton finds his world changed: A dread has crept over everything, making his family's farm animals afraid of him. When he and his brother James see rooks attack a tramp and James thinks nothing of the incident, Will knows that something has taken the memory from James but not from him. This sense of dread increases, and Will soon learns why: He's one of the Old Ones destined to stop an ancient evil power from consuming the world, which it's about to try to do shortly after the birthday on which he attains his powers. His efforts to stop the Dark involve his frantic collection of Signs, each one imbued with history and power. This classic Chosen One narrative was the first middle grade book I truly loved. I love the characters, the British lore, and the action—and its rural world often felt a lot like my own. I still feel that way when I read it, and certain scenes (including the spectacular climax) continue to send a delighted chill down my spine.

The Jumbies
Written by Tracey Baptiste
Corinne La Mer can handle just about anything: the competition at the village market (she sells the most glorious oranges from a tree outside her home), the scorpions that boys use to try to terrify her (it doesn't work; she's not afraid of scorpions), and, eventually, a beautiful stranger who emerges from the woods with a disturbing plan. Jumbies are only stories, Corinne has always thought, but the beautiful stranger turns out to be one, and she's bewitching Corinne's widowed father, and has her eye on even more. I loved the vivid setting and tense storytelling of this book. Corinne is strong but frightened, a real girl placed in a Haitian folktale come to life. I also loved the chapters from the jumbie's perspective. I didn't fully sympathize with this story's villain, but I appreciated understanding where she was coming from.
Ages 9-12 | Publisher: Algonquin Young Readers |2016 (Reprint) | ISBN: 978-1616205928
Written by Geraldine McCaughrean
It's 1727. Three men and nine children from the island of Hirta in far northern Scotland take a short boat trip to Warrior Stac, a massive finger of stone in the sea, to harvest birds. It's a rite of passage for the children: to work on the Stac for three weeks, then return to Hirta when the boat comes to pick them up. But this year, the boat never comes. Anger, fear, and despair wash over this small community as it struggles to find ways to survive—both physically (there is no fresh water on the Stac) and emotionally. The voices of all the children in the story felt so present: their struggles, their arguments, and their small kindnesses. I loved seeing how they came together, but also how they splintered, and the different bonds that formed among them. And Quill—the sensitive and wise boy from whose eyes we see this tale—is a perfect hero: brave and humble and simply a kid. This is a powerful story about the instinct to survive, but also how children dream of the future even when they know they might not have one.

The Shadow Hunt
Written by Katherine Langrish
Young Wolf is fleeing the monastery where he has lived since age six, the wounds and memory of a humiliating beating driving him on. As he runs, he encounters an elf child caught up in the hunt of the lord of a nearby castle. At the lord's demand, Wolf catches the child, and then tries to teach her to speak; he lord wants her lead him to the underworld where he's sure the elves had stolen his dead wife. Nest, the lord's young daughter, who wants to make something of her life before her impending marriage, helps him and is his only true friend. I loved the story, the bleak medieval setting, and Wolf's determination to try to succeed. And I loved how the legends and magic blend with history. This is a fast-paced, occasionally funny, and ultimately heart-warming tale of belief, good, and evil with a huge and dramatic hunt at the end.
Ages 8-12 | Publisher: HarperCollins |2010 | ISBN: 978-0061116766
Here Lies Arthur
Written by Phillip Reeve
An attack on her homestead in 800s Britain is the young serf Gwynna's first sight of Arthur, the leader of a war-band that is invading West Country settlements. But Myrddin, Arthur's bard and advisor, has greater plans for him than simply pillaging—and they include creating a legend with Gwynna's help. Soon renamed Gwyn and disguised as a boy, our heroine rides with Arthur's war-band and watches his legend take hold through Myrddin's crafty stories. With her own stories, she helps the gentle would-be warrior Peredur, whom she once knew when he was disguised as a girl (his mother's plan to save him from his brothers' brutal fate), as well as the unhappy Gwenhwyfar, Arthur's reluctant wife. This is the story of King Arthur as he really might have been in all the raw brutality and small beauties of his world. I often dipped into this book while I was writing my own debut novel when I was stuck on a scene and needed to step away from my own work. The prose is gorgeous, the characters true to life, and the settings rich and real. This is one of my favorite books, and will always make a list of this kind.
Ages 12-17 | Publisher: Scholastic Press |2008 | ISBN: 978-0545093347
The Mad Wolf's Daughter
Written by Diane Magras
Publisher's Synopsis: A Scottish medieval adventure about the youngest in a war-band who must free her family from a castle prison after knights attack her home–with all the excitement of Ranger's Apprentice and perfect for fans of heroines like Alanna from The Song of the Lioness series.
One dark night, Drest's sheltered life on a remote Scottish headland is shattered when invading knights capture her family, but leave Drest behind. Her father, the Mad Wolf of the North, and her beloved brothers are a fearsome war-band, but now Drest is the only one who can save them. So she starts off on a wild rescue attempt, taking a wounded invader along as a hostage.
Hunted by a bandit with a dark link to her family's past, aided by a witch whom she rescues from the stake, Drest travels through unwelcoming villages, desolate forests, and haunted towns. Every time she faces a challenge, her five brothers speak to her in her mind about courage and her role in the war-band. But on her journey, Drest learns that the war-band is legendary for terrorizing the land. If she frees them, they'll not hesitate to hurt the gentle knight who's become her friend.
Drest thought that all she wanted was her family back; now she has to wonder what their freedom would really mean. Is she her father's daughter or is it time to become her own legend?

I don't care about 'beef' between Killbeatz and Fuse – King Promise
Entertainment of Sunday, 14 January 2018
play videoKing Promise
Award-winning Ghanaian recording artist, King Promise, has said he is unfazed about the ongoing feud between Killbeatz and Fuse ODG.
News of the alleged bad blood between Fuse ODG and Killbeatz surfaced after it was reported that UK-based Ghanaian artiste kicked the multiple award-winning producer out of his mansion for unknown reasons, though Killbeatz's management issued a statement to discredit the eviction.
It was speculated that budding artiste King Promise was the reason behind the 'beef'.
Some sources claim Killbeatz has concerned himself with the success of King Promise and reneged on producing hit tracks for Fuse ODG.
However, the 'Selfish' singer said on popular talk show 'The Delay Show' that he has no idea why his name came up as the reason for the disparity.
He said, "I don't even know how my name got involved in that. It has nothing to do with me honestly."
King Promise added that as far as music is concerned, he regards both Killbeatz, who is also signed to his management and Fuse ODG, who he looks up to as a successful artiste as "big brothers".
"Killer is like my big brother…Fuse is like my big brother as well so I have no friction with anybody. I'm learning so much under these guys and I'm just so happy to be there," he explains.
Detaching himself, King Promise said his major concern is his music and does not want to be caught up in quarrels.
"I don't know if it is true but I cannot be bothered. I don't want to be caught up in that. I'm just happy sharing my music," he told Delay, host of the talk show.

Atlanta, Georgia was the home of 1996 Summer Olympic Games. The Games are commemorated in its central Cetennial Olympic Park that is full of memorials reminding Olympic games. Three of these memorials also have Lithuanian details.
Quilt of Olympic Spirit has the names of every Olympic medal winner inscribed on them. In Atlanta, the Lithuanian National Basketball Team has won bronze medals, so 12 of these names are Lithuanian: Arvydas Sabonis, Rimas Kurtinaitis, Darius Lukminas, Saulius Štombergas, Eurelijus Žukauskas, Šarūnas Marčiulionis, Mindaugas Žukauskas, Gintaras Einikis, Artūras Karnišovas, Rytis Vaišvila, Tomas Pačėsas. Unfortunately, the time has made some of them barely legible.
Some of the names of the 1996 Lithuanian National team basketball players on the Quilt of Olympic Spirit in Atlanta
Another memorial is dedicated to the Paralympic games that took place in Atlanta right after the Olympic games concluded. There, 8 Lithuanian athletes are inscribed as they have won medals (7 in athletics and 1 in judo). The athletes are listed by sport, then by surname (alphabetically) and their names are written in the color of the medal they have won. The commemorated Lithuanian Paralympic medallists are Aldona Grigaliūnienė (gold, long jump), Malda Baugartė (gold, discus throw and shot put), Kęstutis Bartkėnas (silver, 5 km run), Vytautas Girnius (silver, javelin throw), Saulius Leonavičius (bronze, 1500 m run), Kęstutis Bartkėnas (bronze, 10 km run), Rolandas Urbonas (bronze, shot put), Sigita Markevičienė (bronze, 800 m, and 1500 m run), Jonas Stoškus (bronze, judo 78 kg). Aldona Grigaliūnienė has only her initial inscribed as her name was too long.
A part of the memorial that includes Saulius Leonavičius surname
The third Lithuanian-related monument is the Quilt of Nations, the ceiling of which includes the flag of every country that has participated in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic games. They have been added alphabetically and so the Lithuanian tricolor is between Liechtenstein and Luxemburg.

Currently, Atlanta is the largest city in the southeastern USA. As such, it has attracted numerous Lithuanians (~2000), both new immigrants from Lithuania and Lithuanian-Americans from other parts of the USA, who have transmigrated to Atlanta from the Northeast or Midwest because of work or business opportunities. However, as this external or internal migration happened relatively recently, there is no traditional Lithuanian heritage in Atlanta or Georgia (Lithuanian churches, clubs, cemeteries, etc.).

At GL Education, we take a 'whole pupil' view of a student by using assessments to look at each student's ability and attitudes, as well as attainment and progress. In doing so, schools can build a complete picture of each student, enabling teachers to adapt to teaching and learning methods accordingly to realise every student's potential. This helps understand whether or not students are gifted in a particular subject or they have special educational needs.
GEMS Education uses our Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) to measure the four main types of reasoning ability that are known to make a difference to learning and achievement: verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and spatial ability. It is the most widely used test of reasoning ability in the UK and is now available for schools following CBSE curriculum in India and around the world.
The new CBSE edition enables schools following the Indian curriculum to benefit by obtaining valuable insights into a student's potential, based on comparisons with other students of the same age, and indicators of students' likely outcomes in future CBSE examinations. These comparisons and indicators are based on data of over 12,800 students taking CAT4 and the CBSE curriculum.
Indeed, it is the way in which assessments can be used to personalise learning and understand students' potential that is driving the interest in formative assessments in India.
A number of schools are using CAT4 alongside GL Education's Progress Test Series; a suite of attainment tests in English and Maths. By comparing scores from both CAT4 and the Progress Test Series, schools can quickly and easily see the students that are not achieving their full potential and need additional support.
Nahmiya Shajas, Primary Math Co-ordinator from GEMS New Millennium School, Al Khail, has been using CAT4 in this way. She explains, "CAT4 gives a comprehensive profile of a child's underlying ability, so by combining this with the scores from the Progress Tests in English and Maths, teachers are able to quickly find which children are underperforming. This helps to plan intervention strategies for individual students.
Helen L Sharrock, Principal – Primary, Mercedes Benz International School, Pune, adds, "Our school has been using a range of assessments from GL Education since August 2015 to enhance our teaching and learning. We are committed to providing a challenging, differentiated programme for all our students, and with the use of CAT4 tests, 'Progress in English' and 'Progress in Maths' assessments, we are able to gain a deeper understanding of our students' strengths and areas for development. We use GL Education's assessments as part of our data collection both formal and informal for bridging the gaps that could exist between attainment and aptitude.
We are excited to be a part of the World Education Summit to be held in Delhi. As a speaker, and with the support of regional school leaders, I am looking forward to reinforcing the importance of assessments to a wider audience. I hope to find new schools who wish to work with us to further develop their assessment mechanism. Most importantly, I am looking forward to meeting as many of the dedicated school leaders at the event as possible, so as to open a dialogue and explore how our assessments can contribute to your work giving each and every individual student the very best start in life we can.

The subject
A new Fremo landscaping project
Clearing out old modules made space for a new project.
This allows the demonstration of state of the art techniques for an unusual project.
The photo on top shows the subject and a series of photos of the item to be built can be found in the Gallery here: Gellik bridge. The subject is the Vierendeel bridge in Gellik that crosses the Albert Canal. This railway dates from 1856 and was part of the international railway from Aachen in Germany over Maastricht in the Netherlands to Hasselt in Belgium. It was operated by the Grand Central Belge railway company until this was taken over by the state railway. A bridge was built when the canal was created in the interbellum although the canal wasn't opened until after WW2. The original bridge was destroyed in WW2 and after the war replaced by the current Vierendeel bridge. This is the longest Vierendeel bridge in Belgium and by shear luck it still exists although the railway is out of operation since 1991. It survived the widening of the canal as there still exist plans to reopen the line. Actually the part from Maastricht to Lanaken some 2 km from Gellik was rebuilt with European subsidy to produce a new harbour facility on the canal. In 2017, 2 years since the start of this page, it is already closed down again, too much burocracy to get licences for operating trains in 2 countries in the same time gap, another perfect example of waste of energy and money in the EU!
There exists a similar Vierendeel railway bridge in Monsin near Liege, but that one is largely surrounded by water as the southern side of it is situated on a dam in between the river Mose and a canal.
Using Google it is possible to produce a view from above with the arrangement of the modules drawn in. The track radius is 500 m (3125mm in model) and the main bridge and its 2 sub bridges just fit on a module with a length of 1m25. The main bridge is in model some 70 cm long. This module will fit the current car with a few cm to spare thus transport as obstacle is tackled.
A quick impression of the arrangement was done in C4D to see where cutouts in the module sides are necessary in order to built the modules. When finished this group of modules will give a length of 5.6 m of scenic landscape for Fremo use. Maybe obviously but the canal is not modelled to its current width but to its original width to express the situation in the 50-60's. Some photographic evidence of how the canal looked was found from the Vierendeel bridge between Lier and Herentals which was of similar construction but 89.50 m long.
A special Fremo 'Basteltreffen' was organised by Gerd over Easter 2015 and this saw the production of a series of modules on which these 5 were part. In total we succeeded in producing 10 modules for 3 projects. As it all concerned curved modules the basic parts that will carry the landscape were prepared in advance on a CNC milling machine. The rest was machined in concerted effort under supervision of Gerd in his workshop. He is professional cabinetmaker thus we learned quite a lot on how to join wood correctly.
The two outer modules will be finished first, they received their painting here, RAL 8011, according to Fremo standard.
The first thing to do is getting the rough things out of the way such as finishing the sides with a layer of paint. This is rough work with a sanding machine and filler creating lots of dust and this is best done outdoor. Therefore I prefer to do this first before any landscape is in place.
At the same time the milling machine was put to work to produce curved track bases from 1.5 mm pcb. This comes from a large sheet that was procured by Hans on one of the Rheine meetings and now sees good use. It is thicker than I normally prefer to use but stock suffices for the entire project. As the modules concern 20 degrees curves only 4 parts of about 30 cm are necessary per module. This easily fits my machine making life a lot easier. The cutting takes quite some machining time but this is easily recovered when track laying commences. The alternative would be to mill a curved template for laying 2 mm sleepers along a curve, less work as you only need a single item but I didn't have enough sleepers to start with. Besides that, these sleepers don't need any gap filling, have the correct length of 16.25 mm and the plates are correct for Angleur-Athus plate work to NMBS drawing.

The central module shaped and setting out the roughly shaped base for the bridge. The landscape is filled in with paper and foam board to visualise the situation and to help decide how to built the model. The red string is roughly the underside of the sleeper base.
This is a cross view showing the slanted angle between the Albert canal and the bridge.
A bit of progress. The water is a sheet of 3 mm ply supported by XPS foam strips with as first approach the water surface painted in greenish black. The concrete bridge supports are shaped into final form including the 4 main towers for defense purposes. These supports are made from 6 mm poplar ply and the towers are made using 1.5 mm plastic sheet. The lot is airbrushed with Vallejo model air primer mixed to a concrete colour as base for later paintwork.
There has been quite some delay in progress as I found the main bridge module to be warped over the shallow diagonal after fixing the water. This effect was due to having only lengthwise reinforcements and the module apparently already warped on its trestles when gluing the water. Testing showed, particularly with the rest of the modules connected to it, that it was very easy to twist the module several cm over its diagonals. Of course this is unacceptable as also the whole bridge would than twist and probably break or come loose of its bases.
This warping was repaired by first removing the water ply and then fixing a cross of 6 mm birch ply to the bottom. But this meant the procurement of a large sheet of 6 mm birch ply and cutting two gaps into each of the reinforcement strips. However this repair turned out to be very effective, the module is now completely rigid and straight again and it sits fully level on a flat surface. (For this type of work a superfluous interior door of reinforced board is an ideal flat working surface.) After this operation the water ply was fixed again.
The southern end is here filled in with pieces of 10 mm foamboard and 20 mm XPS foam that are roughly shaped to the required base form. Fixing is with hot melt glue, which allows fast working. This base will be coated with a layer of modelling clay as base layer for further landscaping.
Mechanically the bridge supports are fixed to the baseboard with a screw from below, allowing removal for final painting (at least theoretically). Two 60 mm holes were bored below the future main bridge supports to allow access from below for electrical connections. The temporary removal of the water ply also allowed to fix a tube between the two bridge supports for electrical connections between the ends as the ply cross now interferes the free wiring space at the bottom.
Here you see the complete module with both sides shaped and coated with green landscape slurry, still wet. This base layer can be painted on with a brush and fills all gaps and slits leaving a good base for grass and other finishing layers. As usual I did run out of modelling clay on a day with shops closed, thus a fresh mixture was home brewn. This is quickly made up with a recipe for enhanced papier maché. The recipe: take a bowl with some water, shred 4 paper egg boxes (without their 6 eggs, preferably 3 yellow boxes and 1 blue one) and use a blender to mix into a fine slurry using a minimum amount of water. Add 8 spoons of green Italian earth ( Terra Verde ) and 2 spoons of methyl cellulose (wall paper glue) and mix again with blender. If the mix is too wet, because you used too much water, than you can drain water by wringing it through a cheese cloth leaving a relative dry mixture. A relative though slurry will of course dry faster and is less prone to shrinkage but it may require a palet knife instead of a brush for coating. This recipe will give about 1 kg landscape slurry which will suffice for at least 4 modules (note: +60 ⁰C heat treatment is necessary for long term keeping when wet). If you want different colours than select different coloured egg boxes and use different pigments, but brown umber looks to me the only reasonable alternative, particularly for wooded or fallowing terrains.
Overview with most of the rough work done.
The above photo shows the state of the art with the concrete parts all shaped and painted and the landscape got a base layer of paint and turf. I now have the choice to either start with the steel parts or first go on the landscaping route. Experience tells me that doing the landscaping first is the better road to end up with finished modules. From here I can work from the canal in the center towards both ends. This ensures that a homogeneous result will be reached, even if I run out of a particular landscape material that has to be replaced by new stuff, which invariably comes with different colour/texture. In total it concerns an area of about 2 m², which is quite a surface but lucky most of it is more of the same. The steel parts complete with rivets look a relative straightforward job to produce. Also some trials with stock and camera show that including some 3 m length of sky boards into the building order won't do harm as this will avoid extended photoshopping to clean-up a disturbing background when photographing stock running over the bridge.
Rough static grass applied with longer grass the further from the canal. On the approach the surfaces were prepared for further decorating with ordinary waterpaint colours in olive green and brown umber.
The right hand embankment first got some higher growth at the canal side, than the grass field was done in mixed blend of static grass and after that the inner embankment was covered with a mixture of selected ground foams.
Here the strip between embankment and grass was covered with higher growth, things like brambles using the bushed area method and a series of tree skeletons was prepared for planting individual smaller bushes. On the left static grass was applied and that embankment will get similar treatment.
First stage completed, this will do for the time being and further detailing can be done after bringing the northern approach to the same level.
This is how a close-up looks with some stock on it.
The northern approach is now brought into the same state of landscaping as the southern approach.
Until now for Gellik 4 batches of commercial flock were reconditioned into a better colour and size blend using gouache and coffee grinder and 2.5 bottles of hairspray were used for fixing this on all the bushes. The hairspray however does make the colour come out a bit darker than intended. Contrary to that the amount of filter material coming from that big bag of pond filter wool is neglible.
Reaching this stage means that I can now start to produce the plan for constructing the main item: the bridge!
Principally the bridge will be produced using white polystyrene but because of its length the idea is to built the bridge around two metal beams with similar model dimensions as the real thing. My main concern is not strength but to avoid distortion and keep the track flat and straight. The plastic will be strong enough, in fact it will probably be stronger than the real thing. As metal H-profile was clearly a factor 4 overpriced at the metal detaillist thus 3 massive bars of 6x3 mm of 1m length were obtained instead. These bars were screwed together at roughly 20 cm intervals using nylon distance pieces for insulation and M2 screws. The track is glued to these bars with 2 component epoxy and connected either in the center or on the end for the 2 outer bridges using tiny pieces of brass with 1 x 1.5 x 0.8 mm dimension, pretty close to not visible. This construcion hopefully allows for enough thermal expansion, bars and rail will have the same thermal expansion but the plastic is probably a different case. At the same time some small gaps of minimal 0.5 mm in total are necessary to be able to take up at least plus 15 degrees thermal difference in case it is getting really hot (e.g. in the car during transport or in the sun behind glass). In order to allow for vertical alignment the outer bridges have some legs with M2 nuts to fix it to the base. These are also used for the electrical connection of these 2 parts. The big center part will be fixed rigidly with M4 thread and nuts in 2 perspex keepers.
The inner core of the 2 outer bridges were produced first following the usual process of drawing them up and using the milling machine to produce the parts in 0.8 mm PS. These simply clamp around the metal bars although when completely finished the bars can no longer be taken out. It is a tab and slot construction which makes it very rigid.
Straight track was produced using specially produced track jigs. These are milled from Trespa and have 2 lengthwise grooves for the rail to sit on top of the sleepers in exact the right place. This jig allows to produce straight lengths as long as the available rail. The center part of the bridge is about 78 cm thus in this case 2 code 40 rails from MEC were used, these are about 90 cm long thus there are no unnecessary rail connections on the bridge itself. This rail has a bit wider foot than the rail of the 2mm SA (1mm vs. 0.85) but in this case a larger surface area for solder is probably better in view of rigidity.

View of cross section of outer bridge.
On the above photo the 2 brass bars and one of the white nylon distance pieces are clear to see. The white wire is the centerline spanning the 2 end boards over the top of the sleepers. This allowed to measure the exact height for the 2 stands with M2 threads replacing the white piece of ps on which the subbridge sits here. The turned nylon distance pieces on the outer bridge ends were replaced by 6.5 mm wide rectangular blocks milled from Trespa by which the main bridge now automatically slots to its outer bridges. Thus in horizontal plane there is no need for any adjustment to align the track. The landing end of the bridges sit in a 3 mm thick piece of perspex with similar cross section to that of the bridge these are screwed to the end board. These parts have a slot to allow for adjustment. The outer cladding parts of the bridges all still have to be milled, these will carry the railing and then there are still multiple tens of thin strips to apply for detailing on simulating the various I-beams instead of the flat material it now shows.
Here the central part for the main bridge is in place, when connected this allows to cross the gap. Now its time for making a detailed drawing of the bridge itself. One of the photographs I made was a sideways view that was perpendicular to the bridge from the higher embankment. Together with the known main dimensions this photo allows to produce a drawing of the bridge. Remarkably only a 0.5 % difference was calculated between the 2 ends thus that photo is near perfect. Towards the ends some corrections are necessary due to distortion but that is easy to compensate. Producing these drawings and a strategy for the tabs and slots in order to make a rigid construction will take up some time.
The result here seen still on the machine but with the newly cut openings taken out for contrast.
In this case the main parts of the bridge are longer than the machinining length. In order to mill these use was made of a straight edge and a reference pin. The straight edge serves to align the material and the reference pin allows repositioning over an exact length dimension. For this job I replaced the normal aluminium machine bed with a (reasonably) flat cut-off of 18 mm sacrificial MDF which takes up any cut through the material thickness without damage to cutters or material. The straight edge used here is a length of 3 mm thick acryl, which is positioned parallel to the machine axis using a round pin mounted in the collet for alignment and 2 pieces of very well sticking double sided tape. The first thing to do is drilling the pin holes in the baseboard and accordingly in every sheet of fresh material. These two pin holes and straight edge function as references to move the sheet linear over a dedicated distance. In this case these reference holes are used in combination with mirroring of the X-axis, thus a drawing of only one half of the bridge suffices while symmetric. This technique can be used to mill unlimited lengths of drawing but more practically as long as the available material, which is generally longer than the capacity of your machine. This alignment technique also allows you to produce double sided milling products as you can simply mount the parts upside down using the same reference holes with 100% exact alignment.
The 4 main carriers, 2 inside ones with notches and 2 plain ones.
A view of how the inner parts do connect up with the rail carrying bars
Doubling up the sides into a single unit with strips and profiles, in front a turned pin to fit the reference holes aligning both sides during the gluing.
test fit of the main components on the module
A milestone reached!
The above views give the first impression how the model will look. The parts are temporarily secured together with some tape, all the strips and rivets still have to be added and that is simpler to do with sides still flat. But that is a job that can wait till next modelling season. But now it is possible to check and try the crossing with some trains and take this project into use on the next Fremo meeting.
I did built a dedicated transport box for this module that nicely fits the module complete with bridge. Only legs for the module are currently still failing.

Kerala Rains: Relief material start arriving at Cochin port
Photo by MANJUNATH KIRAN / AFP
Kochi: Relief material from different parts of the country has started arriving at the port here to provide some succour to the people of Kerala devastated by unprecedented floods in about a century, officials said today. A Cochin Port Trust official said Naval Ship INS Deepak, carrying relief material from Mumbai, arrived with about 800 tonnes of fresh water and nearly 18 tonnes of provisions. Fresh water is being ferried on two barges to the affected areas. Trucks carrying provisions are being rushed for distribution, he said.
The official said another consignment of relief material sent by the shipping fraternity under an initiative of the Ministry of Shipping arrived at Vallarpadam. A vessel with 50000 MT of crude from Mumbai has been diverted by BPCL to the Cochin port to meet the fuel demand of Kerala. Incessant rains over the last few days have blurred the distinction between Kerala's backwaters and roads with sheets of water covering the landscape, but the state is facing shortage of potable water. Several fuel stations in the state are also reported to have run dry.
The Cochin Port Trust has set up a relief camp for the affected people from Koonamavu and Vypeen at Sir Robert Bristow Memorial School on Willingdon Island. Doctors from port trust hospital examined the inmates and provided them medicines. Volunteers comprising the port staff and their family members, customs and CISF are lending a helping hand at the camp.
Relief material mobilized by all major ports under the shipping ministry are being stored at Tuticorin port in Tamil Nadu and are expected to reach the Cochin port in the coming days, the official said. The Cochin Port Trust had decided to contribute Rs 62 lakh to the Chief Ministers Relief Fund.

Social Ads Drive Awareness, What Drives Revenue for SMBs? Social Media Ads Now Dominant Method

It's true that local print and radio advertising were once critically important to small and medium sized businesses (SMBs). But "times they are a-changin," as Bob Dylan once said.
Recent research suggests that social media ads loom large as the format preferred for both brand awareness and revenue generation among U.S. small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs)
"According to September polling from video editing software firm Magisto, more than 40 percent of SMBs in the U.S. rely on social media ads for brand awareness as well as revenue generation," notes eMarketer. "It was the only response chosen by more than 13 percent of respondents."
While 10 percent of SMBs polled said they rely on digital advertising generally for both brand awareness and revenues, only 2 percent of respondents pointed to mobile as their primary format.
"Regardless of the format relied on, respondents did not seem to differentiate much between ads that drove revenues and ads that drove awareness: There was at most a 3-percentage-point difference in responses or the two goals within each format," reports eMarketer.
Signs point to SMBs continuing their social media marketing, as well as growing their mobile outreach. What is suffering most from this shift in SMB resource allocation is print media. Once the go-to for local businesses, its use has declined and trends suggest a continuing downward spiral.

The Race for the Triple Crown
On Derby Morning, Dialed In Looks Ready
By Alex Brown
May 7, 2011 10:20 am May 7, 2011 10:20 am
Wayne Bennett/WayneBennettPhotographyDialed In had a nice even gallop around the racetrack Saturday morning.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — This morning I ventured over to the backside for the final time before the 137th running of the Kentucky Derby. My host, Bob, and I stopped off at Wagner's to pick up a cup of coffee on the way.
It was a gorgeous and quiet morning at Churchill Downs. About half a dozen of the Derby runners went out to train. The two we saw were the likely favorite, Dialed In, and an interesting outsider, Animal Kingdom. Dialed In had a nice even gallop around the racetrack, and if he is your pick, then he certainly looks ready to run a great race. Animal Kingdom is a lovely looking chestnut horse, and when he was walking to the track, he also looked magnificent. If it rains, and that is quite possible, this horse will probably become more of an interesting betting proposition.
I talked with the trainer Eddie Kenneally, who will run Santiva in the race. He seems to be very happy with his horse. His last race was not his best. Santiva's camp believed he did not like the Polytrack, and he was stuck in traffic. Santiva has won a stakes race at Churchill, so he likes it here, but traffic is what the Derby is all about.
I also talked to the trainer Steve Asmussen. Although we did not discuss Nehro, he was in very good humor, standing next to his father, Keith, as his horses were training on the track.
All in all a couple of fun-filled hours hanging out on the backside ahead of the big day. The place is buzzing, and in about eight hours there will be another Derby winner!

Bestseller Covey picks Amazon in ebook publisher wars
Chris Davies - Dec 15, 2009, 3:44 am CST
After last week's stand by three reasonably big-name publishing houses that they would be purposefully delaying ebook releases in a bid to preserve hardback and bestseller pricing, Amazon have cozied up with bestselling author Stephen Covey to show that it's not quite as clear-cut an issue. While the publishers claim to be doing what's in the best interests of both them and the authors they represent, Covey has initially shifted ebook rights for two existing titles from his print publisher, Simon & Schuster, exclusively to Amazon. Simon & Schuster were one of the three publishers who announced ebook delay plans last week.
The move will net Covey more than half of royalties on the Amazon sales, compared to the roughly 25-percent he would get through a traditional publisher, and according to Amazon there are future ebook exclusives in the pipeline. As for Simon & Schuster, all they'll say is that "electronic editions of our backlist titles belong in the Simon & Schuster catalog, and we intend to protect our interests in those publications."
Amazon.com's No. 13 All-Time Bestselling Author Stephen Covey Now Offering E-Books Exclusively in the Kindle Store

Kindle is the most gifted, most wished for and the No. 1 bestselling product across all categories on Amazon.com–not just electronics. Customers can now download and start reading Covey's books on Kindle, Kindle DX, Kindle for iPhone and Kindle for PC in under 60 seconds.
"Our customers have long been fans of Stephen Covey, the 13th bestselling author of all time on Amazon.com," said Russ Grandinetti, vice president, Kindle Content. "We're thrilled to offer these titles to Kindle customers and hope we can help them reach an entirely new audience."
Despite being published 20 years ago, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" is a perennial top 50 bestselling book on Amazon.com. The author of several acclaimed books, Covey has also received numerous honors and awards, including being named one of Time magazine's "25 Most Influential Americans." The print versions of Covey's books are published by Simon & Schuster. These electronic versions of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" and "Principle-Centered Leadership" are being published through RosettaBooks.

A Canadian zoo took a bear for a drive-thru for ice cream — and is now facing charges
Alison Millington , Business Insider US
A one-year-old bear was taken from a Canadian zoo for a drive-thru ice cream.
The zoo owners did not alert officials the bear was leaving the property — and it wasn't the first time.
The zoo is now facing charges.
The bear appeared to be having a good time, though.
A zoo in Alberta, Canada took a bear for a drive-thru ice cream — and the owner is now facing charges.
According to The Guardian, Discovery Wildlife Park posted a video of the trip, which saw the bear travel in the passenger seat of a pick-up truck, on Facebook earlier this year.
The one-year-old Kodiak bear, Berkley, certainly seemed to be enjoying himself as he was hand-fed an ice cream cone, followed by an ice cream cake, through the window of the truck.
The zoo faced criticism after the video went online and eventually took it down. Now, it is facing charges.
The zoo stated that the visit had taken place before the Dairy Queen was open and "posed no danger to the public," adding that the bear had been secured by a chain.
However, according to The Guardian, Alberta Fish and Wildlife said in a statement: "Under the terms and conditions of the zoo's permit, the charges are directly related to the alleged failure of the park to notify the provincial government prior to the bear leaving the zoo."
In 2017, the zoo also failed to inform officials that Berkley, who had just arrived as an orphan from the US, was being taken home and bottle-fed every night — another charge it is now facing.
Doug Bos, owner of Discovery Wildlife Park, plans to plead guilty to the charges.
He told The Guardian: "We made a mistake. I'm embarrassed about it, every time we take an animal off the property, we're supposed to notify Fish and Wildlife, send them an email, and we forgot to do that in both instances."
He added that the drive-thru outing may not have been a problem if the zoo had requested permission beforehand — as it's hardly the first time a bear has been taken off the property.
"We've done lots of TV commercials, Super Bowl commercials with bears and food... some of them the bear was in a grocery store and wandered up and down the aisles," he added, stressing that the bears are well-trained.
"These bears aren't just your average bear that we go snag out of the wild and do this," he said.
Despite this, the zoo will now be required to keep animals in a cage, crate, or kennel during transport — and it will have to provide more details when requesting permission to take them off property.

The Indiana Court of Appeals has upheld the adjudication of a New Jersey child as a child in need of services after finding the child's mother waived her argument that an Indiana trial court lacked personal jurisdiction over her and her child.
After she was dispatched to a Marion County bus station on a report of child neglect, Department of Child Services family case manager Olivia Payne learned K.P. and her son, K.P.G., had missed their connecting bus to their home in New Jersey and had been sitting at the bus stop for almost 18 hours. After observing a hospital band on K.P.G.'s wrist, Payne took him to Riley Children's Hospital, and K.P. admitted her son had an untreated heart murmur.
K.P. was also admitted to the hospital for mental health treatment and admitted that she had not taken her medication for two months. Thus, DCS filed for K.P.G. to be adjudicated as a child in need of services, and he was placed in foster care.
The Marion Superior Court then granted permission for K.P.G. to undergo the necessary surgery to cure his heart defect, but K.P. filed a memorandum of law claiming the court lacked personal jurisdiction over her and her son. The trial court never ruled on the memorandum – which was submitted without a motion – but adjudicated K.P.G. as a CHINS and ordered him to remain in foster care.
K.P. appealed and re-asserted her argument that the Marion Superior Court lacked jurisdiction over her and her son as New Jersey residents. The Indiana Court of Appeals, however, found K.P. submitted herself to the Indiana court's jurisdiction by appearing in the Marion Superior Court after the CHINS petition was filed. Further, 82 days passed between the filing of the petition and the memorandum, which was well outside the 20-day time limit allowed for challenging personal jurisdiction under Indiana Trial Rule 12(B).
Thus, Judge Terry Crone said the issue of personal jurisdiction was waived. He also said there was sufficient evidence to support the CHINS determination, defeating K.P.'s second argument on appeal. Crone specifically pointed to the trial court's findings regarding K.P.'s mental health issues and her knowledge of and refusal to treat K.P.G.'s heart murmur as sufficient evidence to support the CHINS adjudication.
The case is In the Matter of K.P.G. (Minor Child), a Child in Need of Services, K.P. (Mother) v. The Indiana Department of Child Services, 49A05-1709-JC-2053.
