Carderock, DOE Collaborate on Advanced Wave Energy Conversion Tests
Navy News Service
Story Number: NNS170807-02
Release Date: 8/7/2017 10:03:00 AM
By Dustin Q. Diaz, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division
WEST BETHESDA, Md. (NNS) -- Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division engineers worked with partners from Sandia National Laboratories to test new control strategies for producing, converting and gathering wave energy in the command's Maneuvering and Seakeeping Basin in West Bethesda, Maryland, July 24 through Aug. 4.
The combined engineering team members are testing a 1-ton wave energy converter (WEC) in the MASK with a focus on control to increase energy generation, according to Ryan Coe, a research engineer with Sandia's Albuquerque, New Mexico, facility.
"The whole purpose of this project and this test is to try to increase the amount of electrical energy that these wave energy converters generate and collect," Coe said. "We're looking at how to control the dynamics of the device and the device itself in a way to increase energy capture and increase the efficiency of the device."
Coe and colleagues from Sandia, a multi-mission laboratory contracted to support the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration, previously worked with Miguel Quintero and other ocean engineers at Carderock to test a WEC in winter 2016 in the MASK, Carderock's indoor ocean and ship-model testing facility. In the year since, Coe said they've analyzed the data collected, designed new testing models and improved the hardware to implement advanced new controls.
"This device can move in three degrees of freedom: it can move in heave, surge, and pitch; so it's basically all the motions in a single plane," Coe said. "It can move all over the place and we're able to collect energy in all those degrees of freedom.
"What that allows us to do is simulate a really wide range of different WECs and study those degrees of freedom separately and in conjunction with each other. We're now able to take the industry standard for WECs and apply a more complex, more optimal controller and as much as double the amount of power these devices produce in most sea states."
Quintero and Carderock colleagues like Dave Newborn have shared knowledge with DOE partners like Sandia and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory on large-scale wave energy conversion projects like this both during the previous test and during last year's Wave Energy Prize contest, which was a public prize competition that involved nine different WEC tests in the MASK over just 10 weeks. A self-described "waves guy," Quintero said this knowledge share has been a great opportunity for all parties to learn and benefit from the collaboration.
"We've built a large dedicated structure for these tests and mounted the WEC on it, which is different from the method we usually use," Quintero said. "We'll use controllers for rudders, props and wavemaking, but with the way they're implementing it, the methodology is a little different. It's beneficial for all of us to learn how to test a device like this in different situations. Sandia brings a lot of knowledge and expertise on how to do this, and we can share in it and have that knowledge to do similar tests in the future, even when they aren't here."
Giorgio Bacelli, another research engineer with Sandia, said he, Coe and Kevin Dullea, an engineer from Sandia's robotics department who built the new WEC, bring different techniques used in technologies like electronic systems, mobile phones and aerospace engineering to complement Carderock's background in ocean engineering and draw more energy from the converter. He compared these advanced power strategies to the process of swinging on a child's swing - putting energy in to gain more in return and managing that process.
"This is a substantially different problem than trying to control the route of a ship free-floating in the ocean's waves," Bacelli said. "We've developed a method of testing that runs in short periodic waves that repeat multiple times. This allows us to quickly sweep through the control system's parameters and see a response. So far, taking a different approach and bringing in tools that have been used for rockets, robots and radio tuners has been giving good results."
Coe said Sandia and DOE are looking at wave energy and other renewable energy sources to eventually power the continental U.S. electrical grid, and in the meantime, such development provides economic boosts in the form of new jobs required to install and develop technologies like WECs. But it also has applications that can directly benefit Navy and Marine Corps warfighters.
"The Navy and the Marines operate in the ocean and they need energy to do so, just like the U.S. power grid does," Coe said. "Further down the line, there's a possibility that a WEC might serve to power a naval off-shore base, an autonomous system or something else along those lines and provide greater operational capacity, similar to the flexibility a solar panel will give you today."
DOE officials including Alejandro Moreno, director for the Water Power Technologies Office in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, visited the MASK Aug. 2 to see the test first-hand. This was the second of three rounds of testing Sandia plans to hold in the MASK, according to Coe, with the final and most technically advanced round set to take place later in the year.
Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, a part of Naval Sea Systems Command, leads the Navy in hull, mechanical and electrical engineering. Headquartered in West Bethesda, Maryland, Carderock Division employs approximately 2,000 scientists, engineers, technicians and support personnel and includes detachments in Norfolk, Virginia (Little Creek); Port Canaveral, Florida; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Memphis, Tennessee; Bangor, Washington; Ketchikan, Alaska; and Bayview, Idaho.

Seal baseboards with caulk to keep out cold winter air.
The main motivation for caulking baseboards is usually cosmetic, but it can be more. Baseboards cover the gap between the wall covering and the floor, and caulk is sometimes needed to seal out cold air that comes through that gap. Whether you're caulking to improve room insulation or to make the walls look better, you should use a product that contains silicone. Pure acrylic products tend to dry out and crack with age. In most cases, siliconized acrylic is the product to choose. It's paintable, and it's easy to clean up with water.
If you use your finger for tooling, have plenty of rags or paper towels on hand to keep it clean.
The most obvious supply you need for caulking is a tube of caulk. One hundred percent silicone caulk is waterproof and provides the best seal of all caulks. However, once you apply it, it's difficult to remove, so use it only if you're definitely not going to paint. If you're planning to paint, or if you haven't decided yet, opt for paintable silicone caulk instead.
You'll also need a caulk gun. Most models, not including very inexpensive ones, work equally well, but those with notched plungers require less effort to operate. If you have one of these, you can release pressure on the caulk by simply rotating the plunger. That's an important bonus that makes it easier to avoid spills.
After you apply caulk, you'll need to tool it, which means to smooth the bead to form a concave surface. You can buy an inexpensive plastic tooling implement at any paint store, but when applying water-soluble caulk, your finger works better, and it's easier to use. You should have rags on hand to keep your fingers clean, and also a bucket of water to keep the rags clean. Pure silicone doesn't dissolve, so when applying this product, you won't need water, but you will need more rags or paper towels. Many professional painters consider the plastic tooling implement the least messy option for tooling when applying pure silicone.
Get a clean bead by pulling the gun toward you rather than pushing it into the fresh caulk.
Prepare the tube of caulk by cutting the tip at a 45-degree angle with a utility knife. The farther down the tip you make this cut, the wider the bead will be. For most applications, it's best to make the cut about 1/2 inch from the tip. Insert a 3-inch screw or nail to puncture the seal on the tube and you're ready to go. Some caulk guns have a puncture tool—a piece of stiff wire—riveted right to the body of the gun.
To get an even, clean bead with no excess, remember to always draw the gun toward you and away from the fresh material you just deposited. Keep the tapered tip of the tube in contact with the surface and apply a steady, even pressure on the trigger as you move the gun. Release pressure on the caulk by rotating the plunger or pressing the release lever as soon as you finish each bead.
The perfect bead just fills the gap with little or no overage and with no bubbles or breaks. If you notice a break, finish the bead you're doing, then go back and apply a bit more caulk to fill it.
After completing a bead, tool it by running your finger or a tooling implement along the surface in a smooth, uninterrupted motion. Think Zen calligraphy here. A single swipe, properly executed, produces better results than multiple passes. Excess caulk will build up on your finger, so keep a rag handy to wipe it off.
Always remember to release the pressure on the caulk before setting the tube down. Even after you've released pressure, the tube will probably still drip a little, so the safe thing to do is to wrap the tip with a rag or paper towel.

Food for Thought: Getting the freshest seasonal produce
Oct 23, 2012 at 12:01 AM Oct 23, 2012 at 11:12 PM
Weekly Food for Thought with tips on getting fresh seasonal produce, an easy recipe for chicken tacos and a review of new cookbook "Modernist Cuisine at Home."
Tip of the Week: Become a produce professional
Local. That's the buzzword when it comes to healthy eats these days. Here's the trick to getting it done: learn the facts and become a produce professional.
"You'll get the highest nutritional value foods by buying in season," says chef Lynn Krause, culinary academic director of The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of St. Louis.
If that's not enough to get your juices flowing, consider this: "Purchasing crops from various community farmers boosts local economies and enhances sustainability practices by keeping food import/export needs down," says chef Linda Trakselis, culinary instructor at The International Culinary School at The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago.
A convenient way to secure the season's freshest crops is to order produce boxes from community supported agriculture programs. Boxes offer a variety of the season's crops straight from the farm on a weekly, bi-monthly or monthly basis.
"The problem may be that you're getting something in the box you're unfamiliar with, but that's not such a bad deal. You learn how to incorporate new vegetables into your meals and can ask for the farmer's cooking tips," says Trakselis.
Your bounty will vary by season as crops are harvested for the market. As the season shifts to fall, you'll score root veggies, Swiss chard, kale and the last crop of sweet corn and melons. Winter brings citrus and hearty vegetables like beets, turnips, winter squashes, Brussels sprouts and leafy greens to your market. Stock up on more bitter veggies during this time as the hard winter frost releases sugars in the produce and sweetens up your goods.

Featured: Shayan Heidari
Posted on 26 February 2021 19 April 2021 Less than 0 min read
The future is looking very bright for Shayan Heidari. With show-stopping performances on TVA's recently revitalized Star Académie and an inspiring new collab with rapper, Majhool, 2021 promises to be a watershed year for the up-and-coming music creator.
Follow Shayan on Instagram / Facebook / Facebook (Enlight) /Spotify / Apple Music / YouTube
For Shayan Heidari, opportunity is knocking…hard. Since graduating from RAC in 2019, the talented singer-songwriter has gone from strength to strength, releasing a string of infectious singles that embody themes of tenacity, positivity and spirituality. With his latest release, "Never Give Up," a collaboration with the equally talented Persian rapper, Majhool, that message has never been clearer. Together, the pair craft an inimitable fusion of genres and languages that will have listeners in need of a pick-me-up coming back for more. Shayan's determination will be put to the test in the first half of 2021 as he competes against some of Québec's most talented young singers on the hugely popular TVA show, Star Académie. We had the privilege of chatting with Shayan on the eve of the competition to talk about his family, his love for Jon Bellion and his plan to just "go with the flow" on Star Académie.
RAC: Thanks for taking the time to meet with us, Shayan! Let's start with introductions: Who is Shayan Heidari?
SHAYAN: I was born and raised in Montreal, Canada. Growing up, I was always fascinated by music. I discovered music when I was a baby and started singing at a young age. I realized early on that singing was a 'thing' for me: Like, 'hey, I can actually sing!' [Laughs] I started taking it seriously at about eight–I'm 21 now. I took piano lessons from ten to 14, which was kind of the same thing with singing lessons– I started when I was 12 and l stopped at 14. I essentially took the knowledge from those classes and used that to practice at home every day and save money [Laughs]. I started composing and writing songs at 17, right before joining RAC, where I learned more about production, mixing, mastering, acoustics– stuff that I really needed to know. It was, literally, the best experience of my life!
RAC: Sweet, we appreciate the plug!
SHAYAN: [Laughs] Yeah! And ever since then, I've been pretty much working on me, my voice as an artist, making music and writing songs, and hoping to make it big one day.
RAC: Who would you say are some of your earliest musical influences?
SHAYAN: I started off listening to a lot of Simple Plan– that was when I really started singing. From there, I went to Marianas Trench–they're a great Canadian group– and then, when Justin [Bieber] arrived, I was pretty hyped about him as well. Ed Sheeran was another one, obviously, and Bruno Mars. These days, I'm really into Jon Bellion and AJR. I would say that Jon Bellion is my idol; he's my inspiration when it comes to music. Obviously, I go with other artists to get new ideas and inspiration– I'm open-minded and will always be open-minded– but I feel like Jon Bellion is the 'root' of everything when it comes to music [Laughs]. I also listen to Jeremy Zucker, Alexander 23, FINNEAS, Billie Eilish–stuff like that.
RAC: How would you say the artists you listen to influence your work?
SHAYAN: The music I listen to influences me a lot in terms of style and production. Jon Bellion, for instance: I've seen a couple of interviews with him, and he always tries to bring the production side of the music in harmony with the lyrical side. Even if it's a simple track, he always tries to mix the elements perfectly. This is what inspires me the most about him. Another example is AJR. For me, listening to AJR brings out the five-year-old in me, which is a huge inspiration. I would be down to bring that same feeling and energy to my songs while still keeping that Jon Bellion 'flow'.
RAC: What aspect of the musical landscape to you like the most: recording, writing, performance…?
SHAYAN: I'm open to everything. I love creating, but I don't really rush when I create. If I start a song, it will probably take me three to five months to finish it. I love writing too. I've recently started to open myself up more to French songs and writing in French– it's something I've been working on for a couple of months now. I obviously love singing and playing the piano. Oh, and sound design too! I love sampling! I like making my own sounds on my phone, bringing them into the DAW and messing around with them.
RAC: There's a recurring message of hope and self-belief in your music. Would you say that's what you're trying to convey as an artist? Do you have any specific goals?
SHAYAN: My ultimate goal as an artist and as a human being is to touch people's hearts and to inspire them to become the best versions of themselves– to make them realize that they're more than just human beings, but beings that are capable of anything in this world. That's the spiritual side of me that I try to implement in my songs. It's important to me as a human being, too; I really try to talk to people and inspire them. I'm a highly spiritual person, and I've been through a lot of spiritual awakenings. I really feel that this is my purpose.
RAC: Yeah, I noticed the artwork for "Wake Up" has a very spiritual aesthetic.
SHAYAN: Yeah, I think most artists usually like to use pictures of themselves. If you look at Jon Bellion's cover art, though, he uses these Disney/Pixar designs of himself. Since I don't want to copy him, I try to do the same thing but in an anime or manga style. It's a concept I'm still working on, but eventually, I'll bring it into existence.
RAC: Who are the people you would cite as having played an important role in your musical development so far?
SHAYAN: My aunt's husband isn't into music whatsoever, but he always motivates me. He's like a motivational speaker [Laughs], and he helps me a lot when I'm down. He gives these great speeches and advice. My dad as well–his humbleness and the way he works hard for me, my sister, and my mother is something that keeps me going. He reminds me that I have to work hard to get where I want to be. Sometimes, though, I think he works too hard, and I use that too. I tell myself, 'I shouldn't be doing this', and I try to go with the flow. 'Just do your thing, and the rest will fall into place'– that's a concept I believe in.
RAC: Tell us a little bit more about the track "Never Give Up" and your collaboration with Majhool. How did that come about?
SHAYAN: Majhool is a Persian rapper who wanted to work with me, and I was down to work with him. He wanted to explore the concept of doing what you have to do, not quitting, and saying: 'Yes, you will go through some ups and downs, but eventually, you'll get to where you want to be. Yes, you will have doubts, but If you believe in yourself and keep working towards your goals, it will come to exist'. I liked the concept and said, 'yeah, let's do it.' When I sing, 'I've been working too hard; I never ever gave up. Spent little time with my friends that never seemed to end', those things are actually part of my life, since I don't get the chance to spend a lot of time with friends anymore because I'm working and because I preoccupy myself. I know when I eventually get to where I want to be, I won't be able to distract myself because I'll be so busy, so I'm trying to get used to that.
RAC: Can you tell us a little bit about your Star Académie experience so far. How did this all start?
SHAYAN: I saw that there was an audition coming up for Star Académie, and I thought, 'sure, why not?', and I booked an appointment for the pre-audition in front of a couple of judges. I went over there and sang 'Make It Rain' by Ed Sheeran, and they seemed to like it. They told me to sing more songs, so I sang "Blu" by Jon Bellion, and I rapped a little bit. They just wanted to get to know me and my style. Eventually, they called me back to do a second audition, which I passed. Then I did the selection camp, which was on TV, and I passed both rounds, so now I'm part of the first 20 candidates who will perform in mid-February.
RAC: Given that the competition is just starting to heat up, this might be a tricky question for you to answer, but what can we expect from you in 2021?
SHAYAN: Oh, man [Laughs]. You know what? It's like I said before; I go with the flow. I don't expect anything. I have a goal in mind, and whatever opportunity comes my way, I'll take it. But otherwise, I'm just gonna go with the flow. I do have an intuitive feeling that 2021 will be a year where I will express myself more and that more people will reach out to me, and I'll start building an actual fanbase. I'm hoping that will happen, but I don't want to focus too much on the future; I just want to focus on the present moment and do my thing.

Common Mistakes that Make Mixing Harder
Whether you're a sound engineer or musician, it is very important to consider the journey that a production goes through from start to finish before hitting record.

Introduction to Deathstep feat TenGraphs
Deathstep artist TenGraphs reflects that the genre "is very dark, aggressive, visceral. It comes from emotions of anger, fear and hatred. It embodies those emotions with very harsh tonalities and brutal arrangements." In other words, deathstep is the emotional exorcism you didn't know you longed for, filled with precise and hard-hitting sound design aimed at […]

Charles Culbertson Published 5:19 p.m. ET March 7, 2014
Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson (Photo: Courtesy of Charles Culbertson )
While patriots throughout the South idolized Lt. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, most of them did so based solely on what they had read or heard about the Confederate warrior. Not so the people of Staunton and Augusta County. They knew firsthand Jackson's cunning and audacity, having directly benefited from them during the Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1862.
Jackson was held in such high local esteem that, on Jan. 6, 1863, the Staunton Spectator published a laudatory letter written by several area residents in which they thanked Jackson for saving the city from Federal invasion, and asked him to accept, as a token of their gratitude, the gift of a horse and "equipments."
But the plaudits these citizens bestowed upon Jackson paled in comparison to a tribute that was to appear in the same newspaper just two weeks later. On Jan. 20, the Spectator published what may have been the greatest praise of all — a humorous account of the life of "Stonewall" Jackson written by a Yankee newspaperman calling himself Anno Domini.
Thoroughly farcical, the "biography" focuses largely on Jackson's apparent military invincibility, the inaccuracy of New York newspapers and the ineptitude of Federal military commanders. For those reasons — and because Southerners were secure in Jackson's very real abilities as a soldier — Staunton Spectator editor Richard Mauzy felt comfortable reprinting the piece, which had originally appeared in the New York Sunday Mercury.
Anno Domini began his chronicle by saying that "Stonewall" Jackson was born very early in life — so early, in fact, that neither Jackson nor the writer could say what it was.
"Sufficient be it to say," wrote Domini, "that he was born."
As a boy, wrote Domini, Jackson was prone to play hooky from school so he could engage in games of "tag" and "leap frog." One day, so the story goes, Jackson's father "collared the incipient hero and bent him over his knee, thus throwing a prominent part of the youth into bold relief." Jackson's mother then grabbed a shirt board and began to apply it to her son's bottom.
When the whipping failed to elicit a promise by Jackson to go to school, his father — outraged — order another whipping.
"Not I," said Jackson's mother, dropping the shirt board. "You might as well larrup a stone wall."
Of course, the writer noted that the boy was forever after known as "Stonewall" Jackson.
Of his military career, Anno Domini wrote that Jackson, at First Manassas, single-handedly slew a whole division of Union soldiers. It was here, he wrote, that "both armies were defeated, but, unfortunately, neither of them found it out in time to take advantage of it."
He ridiculed the tendency of Northern commanders to overestimate Confederate strength by writing that in June 1862, Jackson took command of 500,000 men and then turned his attention to the political economy of the Shenandoah Valley.
"Not liking the state of the currency there," wrote the newspaperman, "he determined to abolish Banks; in doing which, several desperate battles were fought … But our cavalry horses, becoming thirsty, the army fell back to the Potomac to water them."
His slap at Federal generals Nathaniel Banks and John C. Fremont — both soundly defeated by Jackson in the Valley — continued:
"Jackson's horse, also being dry, pushed on for the same watering place …
A desperate engagement took place at Front Royal, in which Stonewall would have been annihilated had not the U.S. Government stopped the battle (N.Y. Tribune), to hold a court of inquiry, to see if Fremont had not paid three postage stamps too much for a bushel of oats …
"While the court was in session, Stonewall skedaddled. Fremont followed, however, and would have bagged him, if he had not taken the wrong road (N.Y. Herald) and traveled North while Jackson was going South. Getting safe back to Richmond, Stonewall bore a leading part in the battles in front of that 'doomed' (see all the papers) city."
But part of Anno Domini's humorous bio of Jackson was to prove somewhat prescient. He notes that, in the battles around Richmond, Jackson first lost his right leg at Hanover Court House, then his left leg at Gainesville, then his arms, and finally — at Malvern Hill — his head to a 103-pound shell.
"My bleeding country, I cheerfully make the sacrifice," said Jackson. "Old head, farewell!"
Undaunted, said Domini, Jackson kept going and went on to lose a third arm at Antietam.
While Staunton readers no doubt chuckled at the account of a regenerating Jackson, such matters would soon lose all their humor. In just four short months Jackson, at the battle of Chancellorsville, would really lose his left arm, and on May 10, 1863, would die of pneumonia.
For the time being, however, Staunton residents could laugh at Anno Domini's characterization of "Stonewall" as an indestructible killer of giants, and bask in the glow of an enemy paying high, though left-handed, tribute to a Southern hero. Perhaps the most accurate assessment of Jackson in Domini's "biography" of him was this quotation from Shakespeare:
"Take him for all in all, we ne'er shall look upon his like again!"

'Doesn't He Already Have a Son Named Brian?': Brian McKnight Faces Backlash After Naming Another Son Brian McKnight, After Being Accused of Disowning His 'Older Black Children'
Posted byBy Kiara Washington | Published on January 24, 2023 CommentsComments (0)
R&B singer Brian McKnight and his wife, Leilani Malia McKnight, have welcomed a child, Brian Kainoa Makoa McKnight. The couple announced the birth of their baby boy in a joint Instagram post.
"'For this child we have prayed and the Lord has granted us the desires of our hearts' 1 Samuel 1:2 God's greatest gift, our son is here!!! [white heart] Brian Kainoa Makoa McKnight [white hearts] We are so in love!!!! [red hearts]," wrote McKnight, who, with his wife, experienced the death of their newborn son, Kekoa Matteo — which he shared about in a May 2022 Instagram post.

Their post reached over 28,000 likes on Instagram, where fans flooded their comments section, sending over congratulatory remarks.
The McKnight's public photo was soon accessed by several media outlets, whose comments sections were not so congratulatory. Quite a few fans wondered what inspired the couple to name their child Brian McKnight when the "One Last Cry" singer already has an older son named Brian McKnight Jr.
"Wait… your oldest is named Brian McKnight Jr, then you turn around and name this one Brian McKnight?… the audacity"
"Doesn't he already have a son named Brian?"
"Not he disowned the first Brian Jr and decided to start back at one"
"But his disowned his older black children."
McKnight has previously faced backlash from fans after being accused of abandoning his Black biological children from previous relationships: Brian McKnight Jr., Niko McKnight, and Briana McKnight, following his recent act of purchasing a 2023 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe, for his wife's daughter, Julia aka Jules.
Leilani also has a son, Jack, from a previous relationship.

His three children have even called him out in the past on social media for reportedly disowning them. McKnight's second son, Niko, recently blasted his father for being "the biggest narcissistic, sociopathic a–hole."
In 2019, McKnight's eldest Jr. criticized him in a now-deleted Instagram post, stating that he "abandoned" him as well as his siblings.
"I don't think there is any situation that merits the way my father has chosen to treat my brother, my sisters, and his grandchildren, one of which being his first born's, first born son, who also bares our name," he wrote.
McKnight's daughter, Briana, joined her older brother in outing her father for, she says, constantly putting her "behind other kids that he would call his own while I'm cast into a land far, far away in the back of his mind."
Disputing his children's claims with a six-minute video, the 53-year-old denied any acts of him being a deadbeat father, suggesting that he and his offspring, which don't follow him on any social media platform, fall into the "estranged" category.

As Austerity Shrinks Government Budgets, Contractor CEO Pay and Public Costs Set to Rise
In the midst of shrinking federal spending on infrastructure, scientific research, Head Start, and other government programs, the costs of government contractor executives' salaries and compensation are set to soar unless Congress takes action. This is another example of how current government policies transfer resources to the wealthy and away from the programs that broadly support and grow a vibrant middle class.
Budget Austerity Updates
Navigate: Latest News • Background • Economics of Austerity • International Austerity
To Avoid More Bridges Collapsing, We Need More Infrastructure Investment
May 24, 2013 by Nick Schwellenbach
The Interstate 5 (I-5) highway bridge collapse—which sent cars and people into the Skagit River without any fatalities—near Mount Vernon in Washington State should be a stark reminder that we urgently need to expand investments into repairing and upgrading our nation's infrastructure.
The need is immense.
Why Non-Defense Discretionary Spending Keeps Getting Cut
The biggest difference among the three budget plans that official Washington is currently considering is spending for non-defense discretionary programs, which includes education, infrastructure, food safety, environmental protection and other essential public investments the public says it wants government to continue to make. A chart created by the Congressional Budget Office – shows the differences between President Obama and Senate Democrats' budget plans versus the House Republican spending blueprint.
The Lack of Jobs Is the Problem, Not Deficits
Budget deficits are shrinking at a breakneck pace now and will continue to do so over the next several years, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which released its latest projections on the budget and the economy on May 14. Meanwhile, we have anemic jobs growth that's worse than it should be, in large part because of all the extreme deficit reduction measures we've seen over the last few years.
Hang Together or Hang Separately: The Battle Against Austerity
Sequestration's automatic spending cuts were back in the news over the past few weeks. For a brief time, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had to furlough employees, leading to nationwide flight delays. At roughly the same time, a researcher exposed major flaws in one of the key texts serving as an intellectual buttress to global austerity policies. While those fighting against economically damaging austerity measures received a boost from these events, many fiscal policy battles and pitfalls still lie ahead.
What's At Stake: Sequestering Meals on Wheels Could Cost the Nation $489 Million per Year
Sequestering Meals on Wheels funds could cost taxpayers far more than it saves. While across-the-board spending cuts that began March 1, called sequestration, are expected to reduce spending on Meals on Wheels programs this year by an estimated $10 million, these savings will dwarfed by at least $489 million per year in increased spending on Medicaid, both this year and in each subsequent year that sequestration remains in place.
President's Budget Carries Outsized Economic and Political Risks
On April 10, President Obama released his proposed budget for the 2014 budget year. Unlike in the past, this year's budget came very late, after both the House and Senate had passed their respective budget plans. The president's plan is being billed by some as a compromise between the House and Senate.

It seems that Canadian football fell out of fashion and everyone began watching the "important" teams from south of the border. You know, those guys who play on a smaller field and need an extra down to try to make 10 yards. The CFL, by nature of being Canadian, seemed to be somehow less, especially in southern Ontario, which despite the lessons of the War of 1812, often draws its cultural identity from our celebrity neighbour. This year, things changed. The CFL managed to get Canadians excited about a big number, the 100th playing of the Grey Cup, a championship that many Canadians often don't even remember who won.

11 patients suffered 'never events' at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals
This article was published on September 17th, 2014
An external investigation commissioned by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the city's Clinical Commissioning Group has found there to be no 'systemic safety problem' despite 11 patients having swabs or dressings left inside them after surgery.
The so called 'never events' occurred between 2010 and 2013 and, although no systematic issues were identified by the investigation, there have been 45 recommendations made to reduce the risk of 'never events' occurring.
Some of the recommendations include making sure surgeons only use accountable items such as swabs and needles. They also recommend items should be handed to them by a scrub nurse unless a patient's life is in imminent danger and that all anaesthetists receive further training on swab checks.
The commission's report, written by patient safety expert Professor Brian Toft and Dr Alex Grice, stated: "Regardless of what precautions are taken there is always the possibility that a serious untoward incident could occur.
"Thus the recommendations, when implemented, will reduce the risk of patients experiencing the inadvertent retention of a foreign object following a surgical or invasive procedure at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals.
"However, what they cannot do is guarantee that this type of serious untoward incident will never happen again."
At Thorneycroft Solicitors we deal with a wide range of hospital negligence claims and a diverse range of medical injuries as a result of negligent medical care.
We offer a free initial interview in order to review your specific circumstances and assess the viability of your hospital compensation claim. After this, the majority of hospital claims are dealt with on a no win – no fee basis.

'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Theory: Mack & Bobbi Are Working For Tony Stark, Because The Clues Are Undeniable
By Alice Walker
You can always count on a covert non-government agency to have plots hidden within plots, or at least you can on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. From the moment Bobbi Morse joined Mack on the S.H.I.E.L.D bus it was clear that they had an agenda they were keeping from Coulson and his team. Now that we know for sure that they aren't Hydra, the solution is pretty clear: Mack and Bobbi have abandoned S.H.I.E.L.D and are now working for the erstwhile Iron Man at Stark Enterprises.
I think that, like Agent Maria Hill, they joined Stark after Hydra infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D to avoid being killed by double agents, and to gain Stark's fleet of lawyers to protect them from the U.S. government who were gunning hard for all S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives. Once they started working for Tony Stark, they were given orders to track down Nick Fury's famous "toolbox," and bring it back to headquarters so that Stark could see what it is made of. It makes good spy-sense to pair these two up for this mission. Mack can clearly handle technology side of things, be it human or alien, and Bobbi can beat up anyone who stands in their way.
Once Bobbi and Mack got wind that Coulson was rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D from the ground up, they probably figured that Fury must have left him the toolbox, and infiltrated the team to get closer to it. Now they just need to wait for the right moment to steal it from from Coulson's office and get out of town without anyone noticing they knocked Hunter unconscious. OK, that one might take some serious strategy, but it's not like there aren't plenty of other distractions on the bus.
This development could also lend itself nicely to an Agent Carter crossover, assuming (fingers crossed) it get's picked up for another season. Perhaps the toolbox was another one of Howard Stark's inventions that he gave to Peggy Carter as a gift when she started building S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony Stark may very well recognize his father's handiwork and want to take a closer look. Or it could have been another piece of confiscated goods the Howling Commandos acquired after the (first) fall of Hydra. Either way, it leaves a nice opening for us to see Hayley Atwell on screen again.
If my theory is correct, it is hard to tell what impact this development would have on Tony Stark, and by extension the rest of the Avengers team. Assuming Bobbi and Mack are working for Stark Enterprises, it seems like a huge stretch that the truth about Coulson's death and resurrection wouldn't spread. While I highly doubt they would do an Avengers/Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D crossover to address this, a girl can dream.
No matter the reason for Mack and Bobbi double-crossing the team, the results are bound to be explosive. We've already had our hearts ripped out once with back-stabbing on S.H.I.E.L.D., and the team is still reeling after the sudden loss of Tripp. I do not see anyone handling more betray well.

There are 8", 10" and 12.5" tyre versions depending on the size of the child. Once the right one has been selected, it will strengthen your child's muscular system and train their movement. This will make their transition to a bike child's play.
Flit through the city in style! On the way to school, to a friend's house in the afternoon or a quick city trip – a scooter not only makes it extremely fun, but you can get from A to B quite quickly while exuding the trendy street art/skater style. But it's not just what's on the outside that counts – that is why KETTLER scooters all have an easy-to-operate kick footbrake, an anti-slip running board and a sturdy aluminium frame.
High-flying adventure! Swinging – it is always a bit like flying! Even the smallest kids enjoy the swings – for hours on end. Their balance, coordination and concentration abilities are strengthened. The weightless back and forth motion relaxes restless spirits and also strengthens the senses. KETTLER has created large as well as smaller frames that take up less space to ensure a swing can be used in small gardens too. A selection of swing units – depending on age and ability – ensures variety during playtime.
Make every day something special with friends. There is enough room in the garden to romp around – this is where your stories come to life.

Standards body appeals for world's experts to help harness renewable energy from waves and tides
Geneva, Switzerland 2007-06-26: IEC, the global body for electrical energy standards, is now recruiting experts from around the world to develop international standards for wave and tidal energy technology. These experts will help establish this promising source of renewable energy as a competitive form of electrical energy production.
With world production of electricity expected to double over the next 25 years, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), renewable energy production is expected to increase by 57%. Large scale use of renewable energy is important for the future to eliminate dependence on fossil fuels and to mitigate the effects of global warming.
The IEC is establishing a group of experts following contact with the International Energy Agency (whose membership of 26 countries includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the US, and UK), whose present programme focuses on ocean waves and marine currents. According to the IEA: "Accelerated deployment of renewables can significantly reduce CO2 emissions, enhance energy security and further reduce technology costs."
IEC will help to ensure that, as marine energy technologies mature, international standards will help to reduce technology costs and thus make renewable energy increasingly competitive with existing energy alternatives.
Experts are expected to come from private sector enterprises involved in wave and tidal energy technologies, as well as representatives from governments and end-user groups.
About IEC
IEC is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization that develops international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. The IEC brings together 143 countries and some 10 000 experts from industry, government, academia and end-users. IEC Standards cover a vast range of technologies including power generation, home appliances and office equipment, solar energy and nanotechnologies. Founded in 1906 at the beginning of electrification, the IEC is now working to ensure the efficient standardization of technologies to mitigate the effects of global warming. IEC publishes IT standards jointly with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Q: Download audio file using sftp in node What I am trying to do is click a link and when I do, it connects to my server and downloads the audio file available from the browser. I was able to connect to my server and download the .wav file. But when I try to open the audio files with windows media player I get a error:
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file..
app.get('/download', (req, res) => {

    var config = {
        host: 'someHost',
        port: '22',
        username: 'user',
        password: 'root'
    }
    var fileName = "hello.wav"; //File Name
    // Connect to server
    sftp.connect(config).then(() => {
        // Get the file as a readable stream
        sftp.get(fileName).then((data) => {
            res.setHeader('Content-disposition', 'attachment; filename=' + fileName);
            // Set headers to download file
            res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/audio/wav');
            // pipe stream
            data.pipe(res);
        });
    });
});

The files are playable before getting stored in the server or are playable when downloaded by external application like WinSCP. But I am not sure what is going on with the CODEC when downloaded through the ssh2-sftp-client module.
Solution
I figured out there was some issue with the encoding type. Inside the ssh2-sftp-client module specifies what type of compression and encoding is believable to change sftp.get(remoteFilePath, [useCompression], [encoding]);. So I  changed the compression to false because it defaults to true and the encoding value to null because it defaults to utf8.
app.get('/download', (req, res) => {

    var config = {
        host: 'someHost',
        port: '22',
        username: 'user',
        password: 'root'
    }
    var fileName = "hello.wav"; //File Name
    // Connect to server
    sftp.connect(config).then(() => {
        // Get the file as a readable stream
        sftp.get(fileName, "false", null).then((data) => {
            res.setHeader('Content-disposition', 'attachment; filename=' + fileName);
            // Set headers to download file
            res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/audio/wav');
            // pipe stream
            data.pipe(res);
        });
    });
});

A Year on from Blue Planet II – What's changed for ocean conservation..?
Today marks a year since global audiences were moved by the plight of mammals in our oceans, due to plastic pollution. Sir David Attenborough issued a call to action for Ocean Conservation asking that our relationship with plastic change and reminding us of the value of the ocean to economies, ecosystems and communities.
The call to action around plastics in particular, has been heard and announcements are almost ubiquitous. The last year has seen many companies, multilateral organisations, NGOs, civil society organisations and individuals announce commitments, targets and personal crusades to tackle the plastics problem, encourage more responsible recycling and generally support the sustainable development of the ocean and future ocean conservation. From straw bans, to blue bonds to the Commonwealth Blue Charter, what, if any has been the impact?
The Economist Group's World Ocean Initiative (WOI), in its capacity as a convener of discussions between governments, business and civil society on the greatest challenges facing the seas, has gathered the thoughts of those who have responded to last year's Ocean Conservation call to action.
The circular economy is here:
An area of key interest has been how to stop plastics going into oceans in the first place highlighting the concept of the circular economy and the infrastructure behind recycling. "Businesses and governments around the world are increasingly recognising the need to tackle the root causes of plastic pollution, not just the symptoms. In October we saw more than 250 organisations, representing over 20% of the plastic packaging market, sign up to the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment and its circular economy vision, in which we eliminate the plastic we don't need and innovate so all plastic we do need stays in the economy and out of the ocean:" Dame Ellen MacArthur, founder and chair of trustees, Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
It is not just about single-use plastics:
This year, the issue of 'ghost gear' – fishing gear that has been abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded, and is the most harmful form of marine debris – has also gained profile. "To date, the issue of ocean plastics has traditionally been dominated by conversations surrounding single-use plastics, like straws and water bottles. But recently, new research has also amplified the far-reaching ghost gear problem, with estimates that ghost gear makes up as much as 46 – 70% of all macro plastics in the oceans by weight. Over the last year, the Global Ghost Gear Initiative has seen an enormous influx of members wanting to become part of the alliance; more desire than ever from governments and corporates to invest in scaling up and replicating solutions; and United Nations bodies wanting to support training and awareness raising to prevent more gear from being lost." Ingrid Giskes, global head of sea change campaign at World Animal Protection and Chair of the Global Ghost Gear Initiative.
Everyone from consumers to large corporates is engaged in Ocean Conservation:
"We're reshaping how we shop, cook and eat as we become increasingly mindful of the effect on the planet. Our research in this year's Food & Drink Report has shown that nearly nine in 10 people (88%) who saw that episode of BBC's Blue Planet II about the effect of plastics on our oceans have changed their behaviour since. Sixty percent of us now choose a refillable water bottle and coffee cup more than we did, and Waitrose has seen an 800% increase in questions about plastics from customers. This is why we've recently brought forward our target to make all our own-brand packaging widely-recycled, reusable or home compostable from 2025 to 2023. We know there is still more to do, but we are making progress and are determined to maintain our momentum." Tor Harris, head of CSR, health & agriculture, Waitrose & Partners.
"In this divisive time, it is encouraging to me that people around the world are putting aside their differences and recognising that we need to work together in new ways if we want to keep our oceans and our coastal communities healthy. Not just for us, but for the next generation. We have a responsibility to ensure that all the world's children can have the opportunity to experience all the wonders of the ocean through a mask and a snorkel, and not just through the glass of an Aquarium or via video. I am humbled to be part of a growing global movement working below the water to demonstrate it's possible to restore a coral reef and enable the communities and businesses which depend on them for their livelihoods to be an active part of it." Frank Mars, Mars Incorporated
This is a global issue that requires global cooperation:
"In many Commonwealth countries – and more widely, BBC's Blue Planet II helped raise awareness of the detrimental impact being made by human activity on the ocean and how this affects the livelihoods, welfare and sustainability of many communities. We share the ocean and we all rely on it, so in working towards a common future we must act now to restore its balance and use its bounty sustainably. In April of this year, at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, leaders of all 53 Commonwealth countries unanimously adopted the Commonwealth Blue Charter. Through it, they each committed to principled, cooperative action to redress the threats facing ocean ecosystems and coastal communities." Patricia Scotland, secretary-general, The Commonwealth.
The conclusion drawing from the ocean conservation community including businesses, NGOs and multilateral organisations is that the year has certainly seen increased awareness and engagement. The next stage, however, is how this is translated into action. "There's has been huge amount of awareness on the impact of plastic pollution. But it's now a race against time to halt the catastrophe. I am still not seeing the necessary action being taken. There is too much talk and not enough rolling up of sleeves." Lewis Pugh, ocean advocate.
The World Ocean Summit which is to be held in Abu Dhabi in March 2019 will provide a forum for discussion of Ocean Conservation issues and guide decisions to facilitate actions to be taken and their future impacts. To find out more, please visit www.woi.economist.com.
The time is now to move towards a serious commitment to Climate Change and Ocean Conservation

Q: stack corruption checking method 1) how to initialize the stack with some unique pattern? so i can check it on the exit? sample program plz
2) how to add values in prolog and check it in epilog ? sample program plz

*

*valgrind and electric fence doesnt work with my multithreaded app it is too bulky i want some simple trick like

*add const value in prolog

*check it back in epilog

thanks,
Vj

A: In your first question I think you are talking about preventing the execution stack from being overran. There are different technique to archive this, but I think the one closest to "some unique pattern" is the canary.
Theory:
The canary is a (random) check value that is placed just below the functions return address. Before returning from the function, the system checks if the canary has the same value as before. If not, the stack has been overran, since the memory is written from lower to higher addresses, and you can't trust the return address.
How it's done:

*

*When the return address are placed
on the stack, the canary is placed
there as well.

*When the function exits, the canary is checked. If the canary has been altered, terminate the program (or whatever you find appropriate).

More information about canary values can be found here.
This (or some other stack overrun prevention technique) are generally implemented in modern compilers.

I have no idea about your second question.

Introduced at the January, 2011 Shot Show in Las Vegas as part of Savage Arms growing "Speciality Series of rifles is the new Savage Lightweight Hunter, promising to shave a full pound and one half off of the equivalent Model 14 American Classic, is one of my favorite hunting rifles. In 7mm-08, the published specifications are as follows.
Rate of Twist: 1 in 9.5"
Savage managed to accomplish exactly what they set out to do, as the Model 11 7mm-08 weighs five pounds, nine and one half ounces according to my Lyman electronic scale with scope bases and detachable box magazine installed. The Lightweight Hunter is also available in .260 Rem, .308 Win, 243 Winchester, 223 Remington, and the 6.5 Creedmoor.
Savage used several techniques to remove the weight, most a matter of aggressive machining away of extraneous metal. The barrel is two inches shorter, the bolt has a deep "Twizzler" licorice style of spiral fluting, and the action frame itself has multiple lightening machined relief areas. The forearm of the oil-finished American walnut stock is aggressively populated from beneath with lightening slots. The trigger guard is techno-polymer, with the new style bolt release nestled at its front. This rifle also features the industry-leading Accu-Trigger and the newer, "invisible style" barrel nut.
It seems to me that Savage pulled out all the stops to lose weight without sacrificing strength of the rifle or resorting to over-priced, exotic materials. The slotted area of the forearm, shown above, is one prominent example.
The factory test target, fire on June 22, 2011, showed a 1.3 inch 100 yard group at 100 yards using 140 grain Ballistic Silvertip ammo. Mounting a 3-9 x 40 Bushnell Elite 3200, I started with the ammo I both used and hunted with last year, Hornady Superformance GMX 139 grain #80576 rounds. It shot an inch at 100 yards first three shots, and did that (or better) for as long as I cared to shoot. Wearing a thin t-shirt on a hot day, that wasn't very long. While not particularly abusive, likely not even noticeable in a hunting scenario, there is no getting past physics. Dropping the weight by slightly over twenty percent increases recoil commensurately, just as you'd expect, despite the extremely well-fitted Pachmayr Decelerator pad that is factory-supplied. This rifle is far more accurate than needed for big game hunting and does exactly what it is supposed to do . . . shed weight without any tangible, real-world performance loss.
It is a strikingly handsome rifle as well, helped in this particular example by a gorgeous piece of American Black Walnut. When you test a rifle that is this well done and performs this well, you can't help but buy it for yourself . . . which is exactly what I did. For a paper pounding target rifle, naturally you'd look to other models in the Savage line, it clearly isn't supposed to be a dedicated paper-puncher. For an attractive, lightweight, easy-handling hunting rifle, the Model 11 Lightweight Hunter will superbly satisfy most anyone.


The death toll from a flash flood in in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province rose to 43 on Sunday, with over 40 injured and scores of others missing, officials said.
"The hill torrent washed away a mosque, a Pakistan army check post and nearby houses (35 full house damage, 47 partial house damage)," the NDMA said in a statement.
An army helicopter has made five trips from Chitral to Ursoon and evacuated the injured, said the statement. A search operation for missing persons is ongoing.

Get a butchers of who's in town
Ashley Peacock, aka Steven Arnold, serves customer Annette Martin. ('d306c437)
A local butcher has fulfilled a lifelong ambition by opening a new branch of his meat shop in his hometown of Morley.
Philip Bennett, who owns Bennett's Butchers which has four outlets across Leeds, flung open the doors to the new shop on Queen Street on Saturday.
Coronation Street's Ashley Peacock visited the new Bennet's Butchers on Queen Street for the official opening. ('d306b437)
And there was a special treat for new customers as former Coronation Street actor Steven Arnold, better known to soap fans as legendary butcher Ashley Peacock, came to town to open the shop and help out on a busy first day.
Mr Bennett said: "It was very, very busy on Saturday and Steven went down a storm. He was great talking to the customers and they were all over him."
Mayor Wyn Kidger and Coun Bob Gettings were also present to celebrate the big occasion.
Mr Bennett added: " I went to Bruntcliffe School as a boy and it's always been a dream for me to open for business here in Morley. All my family are Morley people and I haven't seen as much of the town as I'd have liked to because I started work in Leeds Market at the age of 13, but to have all the people coming in on Saturday and recognising my name was fantastic!"

It happens daily: Women wonder if a product will actually work, if it's worth the splurge and how they'll look if they take a plunge with a new treatment, tube or product. Now, the makers of ModiFace, the augmented reality company behind the technology that lets you "try on" lipstick or eye shadow, have announced a tool called Skin AI that stimulates your skin transformations in a live video. In lay terms, this new technology will show you (in real time) what a product can do for your complexion, wrinkles and overall appearance.
Dr. Parham Aarab, founder and executive chief officer of ModiFace, says that Skin AI is the first scientifically validated technology created to detect and simulate very specific elements of the skin. "This will be a game-changing technology for the skin care industry, both for assessing the state of your skin and for visualizing the impact of potential skin care products," he adds.
Created in conjunction with a panel of dermatologists, Skin AI was created to detect skin concerns like dark spots, acne, rosacea, discoloration, dryness, uneven skin texture and fine lines and is able both measure and assess each issue in real time. Once your concerns are measured, the tool can be used to stimulate changes to the skin via live video, providing before-and-after skin comparisons.
Skin AI will be available to skin care brands as either a mobile app capable of providing in-app skin assessments and clinically accurate product visualizations on live video, or as a web-API capable of providing web-based skin assessments and product visualizations on user photos. According to the company, multiple skin care brands are in the final stages of launching applications powered by ModiFace's Skin AI technology.
Just like virtually trying on a lipstick shade that looks good on you will better convince you to buy it because you know what it looks like, the technology is expected to encourage users to stick to their skin care regimens more strictly because they can see the results immediately without the months of commitment it would normally take.

When we last updated the blog, we had just arrived at River Heads and had put Tim on a bus back to Brisbane. We planned to be there for a couple of days to recharge our batteries but shortly after we arrived we received word that Bryce's grandfather was dying and on October 20th, he did pass away. The whole family had just recently been together to celebrate his 90th birthday which had a wonderful tribute to his great life. Bryce's Grandpa Tim was a keen fisherman. When (Uncle) Tim was with us on the boat and fishing was a daily activity, not a day went by when stories about fishing with Grandpa and his various techniques were discussed.
Part of the reason that I was reluctant to blog about this at the time was because I didn't want to advertise that we were leaving the boat. We were lucky that we were just a three hour drive away from Brisbane and that we were able to arrange to make our way back down there. Since both Bryce and I were going back we ended up hiring a car to drive down. No one would deliver a car to River Heads and since there is no bus system, I volunteered to bike to pick up the car in Hervey Bay. After all it was only a 50 minute bike ride on Google Maps!
Only the beginning. Batty in the background.
Famous last words as my bike ride did not go as expected. To start with, the bikes that we have are great for riding around town on nice flat roads but as they have no gears aren't the best for hills. So of course, when I came to the top of the first hill and could see into the distance the ups and downs that I had yet to conquer, I knew it would be a fun ride! There were times when there was no shoulder and I had to walk the bike on the gravel slope next to the two lane road. It was great sailing weather so of course that meant I was also biking straight into a massive headwind. Rest assured that if it ever got too dangerous, I planned on calling a taxi. Once I got on the main road, things were much flatter though I still needed to walk the bike through the grass at several points so that I didn't get hit by massive road trains that came flying by on the road. I should also mention that I left on my trip at 11am so was doing this in the scorching heat. While it was an absolutely beautiful ride, I did at times consider hitchhiking (not seriously). I thought about borrowing one the horses that I biked right passed, all of them looking up at me and following me with their heads as I passed their pasture as if to say "What does this crazy women think she's doing?" Unfortunately, I have no photos of this little adventure because I just wanted to get there and planned to take photos on my ride back. Lucky for me, I didn't get that chance.
Our wheels for the weekend.
Two and a half hours later, seeing the Avis (car rental) sign in the distance was one of the more welcoming signs I'd ever seen. After getting the car, I drove back to the boat to pick up Bryce and we headed back to Brisbane for the weekend. Due to threatening thunderstorms and rain, on the return trip we dropped off the car together and piled everything, outboard motor & bike included, into a maxitaxi to take us straight to the boat. I didn't get to make the return bike trip! The moment we got back to river heads, the rain started to pour down. There were a few breaks in which we though we could make a go of it but by the time we started to get the dinghy ready to go back in the water it started again! We hid out under a shelter for a while waiting for it to stop, before eventually we were able to make our way back to the boat.
It reminded me of my trip to Western Australia, I and my friends had a tough time out there as the vehicle stopped during the journey. It was a experience that I cannot forget as we had to stay for two days without food and shelter.
Yikes! No wonder you won't forget it!
