I find inspiration in many forms of media. Creating art for me is about constantly reflecting on my place in the world, discovering how to distill and interpret my interaction with what surrounds me and documenting that personal relationship.
Natural environments have become more of an exception than a rule. Our connection with the "wild" as a spiritual and physical presence has been replaced by a financial value system. The wildlife art that I create has inspired by photography as well as artworks by cultures that live close to the " wild" or did so in the past. Through my work I try to bridge and understand this brittle connection. For this reason I have chosen to separate the subjects aesthetically from their natural environment fabricating a fantasy antagonist to that of natural law. In some works the boldness of the stylization makes the animal seem mythological in a man made urban environment. In some works the boldness of the stylization makes the animal almost an icon inhabiting a new urban environment.

India as a 'Great Power': Economics and International Relations
Convenors: Professor Matthew McCartney and Professor Kate Sullivan de Estrada
As India grabs headlines as an emerging power, this course surveys its role within its regional neighbourhood and on the world stage. Using a unique combination of theoretical lenses drawn from both international Relations and Economics, it addresses the question: will India become an international 'great power'—and what kind of power will it become?
Through a course of eight lectures and classes, we will adopt a critical approach to the concept of a great power in the disciplines of International Relations (IR) and Economics and so examine the extent to which India might be considered a powerful state according to a range of measures; military, economic, and 'social'. We will study India in relation to widely accepted characteristics of power and influence in world politics, but we will also be attentive to India's particular sense of identity—a self-projection that has had, and will increasingly have, implications for India's relations with its neighbours, Asia, and the wider world. We examine both India's achievements and shortcomings and explore their outward projection.
We begin the option with one conceptual lecture that explores competing theories and perspectives on great power in IR, and one historical lecture that engages with scholarship that positions India's political and economic power and influence in broader global and historical relief. In six subsequent lectures we focus on the political and economic aspects of power and influence in turn. Each lecture offers a thematic approach to India's political or economic power and focuses on specific empirical case studies to enable concrete discussion of future projections about India's emergence and growth. For example, we survey India's hard power, its role in international institutions, and its 'soft power' and status, and we look into India's economic boom, its performance as a technological leader, and its role in the global economy.
Students will develop a critical ability to understand the theoretical assumptions that have shaped much of the scholarship on great powers and, by extension, appraisals of the extent of India's global power and influence. The course will offer students a range of measures by which to assess the extent of, and the limits to, India's international power. Central learning outcomes will include the development of an awareness of the complexity of selecting indicators of power, and an appreciation of the need to explore the roots of power projection in domestic political and economic processes, as well as in their regional and international context.

"I am having trouble with a local mobile phone shop," starts a mail from a reader called Erris who told us she was sending the mail with a tear in her eye.
However, her upset was only starting. She took the phone and the charger and asked her daughter for the box it came in and the receipt. "Lo and behold the phone was given to her without a box and no receipt. I took early lunch today and went down to the shop to get her money back," she writes.
"I explained that my daughter had purchased the phone without my knowledge and I asked the daughter and her friend who was with her about the receipt and they are both adamant that they were not given a receipt," she says.
Erris raises some big questions in her mail. Some we can't answer. Some we can. The bottom line is there is no law preventing a retailer selling a phone to a 12-year-old girl. Last year there was talk of legislation being prepared by Jim Daly, who was chairman of the Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs, which would have led to retailers facing fines if they sold smart phones to children under the age of 14.
However, such a Bill never saw the light of day. When Pricewatch asked him what had happened to his Bill he said he remained "very concerned about minors owning portable devices with unrestricted access to the internet" and said the purpose of his private members Bill "was to force tech giants to produce a child-friendly device which I believe could be done with little or no difficulty". However, since he was appointed Minister for Mental Health, his private members Bill had to be paused which is not much use to our reader.
The other thing that leapt off the page for us was the dispute over the receipt. And we would also say that a price of €600 for a second-hand phone that doesn't even come with a box represents very bad value for money – something an adult would probably have recognised.
We got in touch with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission to see if it had a view on this story.
A spokesman had bad news and the statement shows how unprotected people can be in these circumstances.
"Unfortunately, from the information provided to us, it would appear that the consumer's options in terms of redress are limited," he said. "Having examined the information provided, it appears that there are no legal provisions which would have prohibited this trader from selling a mobile phone to a minor. In relation to whether a receipt should have been provided, there is no legal obligation under consumer protection law for a business to provide a receipt for the goods you buy. However, the vast majority of traders will automatically issue receipts to consumers or when requested by a consumer. In terms of the consumer's options, they may consider seeking independent legal advice.

Cybersecurity: will it be the 'it job' of IT?
Garry Barnes, ISACA: We are also expecting a rise in attacks against non-traditional platforms like smart home devices and gaming platforms, as IoT security risks continue to pose unique vulnerabilities.
The continuing cybersecurity skills gap is one of the biggest threats to our security, says Garry Barnes, international vice president, ISACA, a global association for IT assurance, governance and cybersecurity professionals.
"Managing the risks associated with cyber security threats and emerging threats from cyber terrorists and hacktivists will have an incredible impact on our way of life," says Barnes, as he notes the cybersecurity trends organisations have to prepare for in the next 12 months.
With breaches on non-traditional targets expected to rise, we predict that 2016 will bring a shift in privacy thinking for millennials as they place a higher value on protecting their information.
A research report from IDC New Zealand, meanwhile, finds both IT and line of business executives agree cybersecurity is a key initiative running within their organisation.
Although cybersecurity is seen by 80 per cent of organisations as a key IT priority, there is a big gap that NZ organisations should be worried about.
"Everyone is planning on cyber security initiatives – but many are woefully unprepared with a big gap between those planning initiatives and those who have a comprehensive strategic framework and KPIs," says Louise Francis, research manager, IT spending, IDC New Zealand.
"Most still have a ad hoc approach and this won't be enough.
"Only half have a comprehensive strategic/architecture framework where compliance [is] required," says Francis. "Even worse one in five have no broad base strategy or governance framework," she says, quoting the findings of the IDC C-Suite Barometer 2015.
The survey among 220 organisations, completed last September, likewise notes distinct differences on cybersecurity approaches in different market segments.
The larger the company, the more likely it is to have cybersecurity as a key initiative. Almost all large businesses have an initiative underway, according to Francis.
Everyone is planning on cyber security initiatives – but many are woefully unprepared with a big gap between those planning initiatives and those who have a comprehensive strategic framework and KPIs.
The smaller the company, the more likely there is to be no broad base strategy/governance. A third of small businesses have no strategy.
The survey notes CEOs making cybersecurity a KPI for management is closely correlated to certification rates in government, manufacturing and BFSI (banking, financial services and insurance) segments.
Retail and wholesale, a segment prone to cybersecurity threats, has one of the lowest rates of initiatives, lack of strategy, certification, and CEO KPIs, the survey finds.
The Institute of Directors, meanwhile, is calling for the creation of 'information sharing hubs' to combat cyber threats.
"Cyber sharing hubs are a feature of the international scene and play an invaluable role in the collective response to threats," says Simon Arcus, IoD CEO.
The IoD believes cybersecurity threats must be shared within the private sector and between the private sector and government.
"Rapid information sharing is an essential element of cybersecurity because a collective response is more effective than companies trying to deal with cyber-risks alone," says Arcus.
The IoD says the government must lead and urgently expedite plans for better information sharing because it is the only entity that can facilitate information sharing groups in a cross-industry and liability appropriate environment.
Arcus adds that government must lead in the establishment of a sharing hub but tread a fine line between involvement and ownership of the space.
"I don't think government should own or run these groups, but they should be kept informed and act as a key player and facilitator."
He says political leadership is a key feature in the cyber hubs in countries such as the United States, where there is a number of Information Sharing and Analysis Organisations (ISAOs). President Obama issued an Executive Order in February to encourage more information sharing on cybersecurity threats with the government and each other.
It is a huge advantage to hackers that businesses are unwilling or unable to share data.
In the UK the Cyber-security Information Sharing Partnership (CiSP) is a joint industry/government initiative to share cyber threat and vulnerability information. Its members exchange cyber-threat information in real time, in a secure and dynamic environment but, critically, protections exist for doing so, says Arcus.
"Cyber hackers respect no national boundaries. It is old fashioned to think that geographical distance equates to protection from threat for our islands. We need to take the steps any country with a modern developed cyber-infrastructure might do.

EDITORIALOP-EDOPINIONPOINTS OF VIEW
iBanFirst FX market: 4 key trends that will impact the global economy in 2023
2023 is expected to be a challenging year. The energy crisis continues to affect Europe, inflation will remain high until 2024, and the scenario of an economic recession seems imminent.
The currency market is expected to react to these factors by increasing exchange rate volatility, with negative effects on companies' financial situations. Analysts at iBanFirst, one of Europe's largest providers of foreign exchange and international payments, explain the main trends that will influence the global economy as well as the activity of importers and exporters in 2023.
Currency volatility changes the competitive game
Exchange rate volatility has a direct impact on general economic conditions and in particular on the supply chain. And the United States could be most affected this year. For example, with such a drop of the yen against the dollar (minus 14% since 1 January), it has become much cheaper to produce in Japan than in the US, whereas in the past, production in Japan was more expensive compared to the US. If this situation continues, it is likely to lead to a relocation of production facilities close to customers.
As volatility in the foreign exchange market tends to increase, iBanFirst analysts recommend Romanian companies to adopt measures to protect themselves against currency risk in order to maintain their competitive advantage on international markets.
"Currency market volatility is far from being a problem for multinationals. It can affect any company, regardless of size, with cross-border operations. The implementation of a currency risk management strategy should be considered by a company in the following situations: it either invoices its exports or business-related costs in foreign currency (subsidiaries, salaries, etc.), pays for imported goods or services in foreign currency, or has purchase commitments to foreign suppliers", says Alin Latu, Country Manager iBanFirst Romania.
USD liquidity, the underlying factor
The evolution of USD liquidity is of prime importance since we operate in a dollar-based world. It deeply influences the direction of the economy and financial assets. There are several ways to calculate USD liquidity. A common practice is to track the evolution of USD money supply in major economies.
USD liquidity surged to a record high in the Covid period with central banks opening massively the credit tap. But since then, things have changed. The comeback of inflation has forced central banks to embrace a more restrictive monetary policy. Even the Bank of Japan, which stood apart for a long time, has signaled this week it could begin to move away from years of ultra-loose policies to tackle above-target inflation. This results in a contraction of USD liquidity: "According to our estimates, it is now back at levels reached in 2015 when China devalued the yuan. Given inflation will probably not disappear overnight, thus forcing central banks to remain in the hawkish camp for quite some time, expect the contraction to continue at least in the short-term meaning Q1 or even Q2 2023", adds Alin Latu.
A breather for emerging countries: short-term dollar depreciation
Since its 10-year high around the 114 area at the end of September, the dollar index is following a marked downward trend. If the decline continues, this would be good news to start 2023. A strong dollar is a net negative for the global economy. It is reverberating through balance sheets around the world. According to the International Monetary Fund, approximately half of all cross-border loans and international debt securities are denominated in U.S. dollars. Emerging markets are usually the most vulnerable, especially the private corporate sector which tends to have high levels of dollar-denominated debt. As global interest rates rise, financial conditions have tightened considerably for many countries. A stronger dollar only compounds these pressures, especially for some emerging markets that are already at a high risk of debt distress.
Euro/dollar, a new scenario
The narrative has also drastically changed on the eurozone currency in less than three months. At the end of September, the EUR/USD reached its lowest point in 20 years around 0.95 (which is consistent with the dollar index peak, of course). It is now hovering around the area between 1.06 and 1.07. This is not completely surprising. When net positioning in the euro is extreme –see in the below chart showing FX traders positioning at the end of September – usually a strong rebound follow.
In this specific case, it has also been fueled by monetary policy (hawkish European Central Bank) and better than expected fundamentals (the energy crisis in Europe is not as bad as feared). In the short to medium-term, positive sentiment is likely to continue to dominate. But the EUR/USD has to build a lot of energy to pull clear of the 1.0775 zone which serves as a weekly resistance. This might be complicated in the absence of real market movers in the next period.

UnidoUS survey reveals how to win Hispanic votes
Looking ahead to the midterm elections in the U.S., these are some of the most important aspects for Latino communities.
Manuel Herrera
Considering how demographic and political studies point to Hispanic communities as special determinants of upcoming election results, the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) made a projection that Hispanics make up 1 in 10 voters across nationally, with higher proportions in some key states, such as Florida and Arizona, where 1 in 5 voters are Latino, or Nevada, where 1 in 6 voters are Hispanic.
If realized, these levels would replicate the historic turnout of Latino voters in the 2018 midterm elections, which represents a 71% increase from 2014 turnout levels.
Protect health care and lower its costs
According to an Op-Ed by Stan Dorn, director of the Health Policy Project at UnidosUs, published in The Hill, "Understanding Latino voters' public policy views should thus be a top priority for observers trying to make sense of the 2022 midterms. And health care is an issue that is front and center for Hispanic voters."
UnidosUS presented the results of a survey conducted with approximately 3,000 potential Latino voters about their main interests in the midterm elections:
More than 9 in 10 Hispanic voters believe the government should make sure everyone can afford health care.
85% want to see pandemic health coverage expansions made permanent.
Among the majority of Latino voters who rank the rising cost of living as their top issue, nearly half specifically mention health care spending as an issue worthy of elected officials' attention.
52% of Latino voters described Democrats as sharing their values and priorities in health care, compared to just 18% who said the same about Republicans.
Democrats VS. Republicans
"Health care has been among Latino voters' main public policy concerns for more than a decade, and their views on the parties have likely been shaped by very public health care debates in recent years," notes Dorn, who also highlighted the work of the Democrats in defending the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which provided medical care to more than 5 million Latinos who previously had no insurance, reducing the number of Latinos without health coverage from 15.5 million in 2010 to 10.2 million in 2016.

AstraZeneca allocates $4 million to non-profit organizations to promote health equity
For their part, Republicans also made themselves felt in this regard, but in a negative way, since it was their actions that led to the repeal of ACA, which would have left more than 5 million Latinos without medical care.
Amid this partisan tussle over lowering health care costs, Republicans last summer voted against legislation introduced by the Biden administration to lower Medicare prescription drug prices, disregarding support from this measure among Hispanic voters.
Republicans also opposed a 53% increase in premium costs for people who buy their own insurance in the ACA marketplace, which now serves an estimated 2.6 million Latinos.

— UnidosUS (@WeAreUnidosUS) November 2, 2022
Here are some results from NALEO's most recent follow-up survey:
88% of Latino voters support allowing Medicare to negotiate lower prices on prescription drugs, including 51% who strongly support the policy. No other topic covered by the survey garnered this level of support.
"Hispanic communities' political power is significant and likely to grow. Both parties understand the need for Latino support, but neither seems to be prioritizing health care in outreach to Latino voters. Regardless of how the midterms turn out, political leaders interested in gaining their Hispanic constituents' support should focus intensely on maintaining and strengthening programs like Medicaid and marketplace coverage that offer affordable health care to tens of millions of struggling families in America," concluded Dorn.


A little more than halfway through November, enthusiasm for Nanowrimo starts to fade. If you're still writing that 50,000 word novel,congratulate yourself. Your first draft must be complete by December first. What are some benchmarks for the Nanowrimo process?
Writing Tip for Today: Let's take a look at where your novel, begun November first, should be by mid-month. While not every writer works this evenly, the following benchmarks should help you figure out where you are in the process–and where you need to be.
Some writers hate the idea of any sort of formula connected to a novel, but the fact is, most novels fall roughly into the same pattern.For the purposes of this post, we'll assume you write roughly the same amount of words each day in November during Nanowrimo. Writer Anne Lamott has said that a scene is like a joke: a setup, a buildup and a payoff/punch line. A novel is a macro version of that same shape: Setup, Build up, Pay off. In most stories, the structure is usually thought of in three acts, and we can apply that formula. But these acts don't all get the same amount of space in the novel. ACT I or the Setup: introduction of setting, time period, POV character or main character,a goal or problem and what incites that problem must all be present in order to hook readers. This portion of a novel generally takes 20% of the entire word count. ACT II or the Build Up: Complications and obstacles arise, subplots appear, Main Character appears to lose more than win. All these forces combine for rising action, increasing tension, all the way up to the Do or Die scene, also known as the climax. All is lost and the character feels hopeless. The Build Up eats another 60% of the story. ACT III The Pay Off includes this Climax scene and the resolution or outcome of the story, for the final 20%.
With the above formula of 20-60-20 in mind, by November 15 you should be approximately halfway through your first draft. Your Set Up of 20% should be done. And if you're about 30% into ACT II, your Nanowrimo novel draft should be around 50% total done–or about 25,000 words. Of course these numbers are only estimates, but if you've already written 25K words and are still introducing your ACT I Set Up elements, you may want to speed things up a bit. If you have written the same 25,000 words and are writing the ACT III Climax, you'll want to slow things down.
Even if you write your novel out of order (that is, not chronologically) you can still apply these percentages to help gauge the pace. You have about 10,000 words to get your ACT I Set Up complete, around 30,000 words to bring the story to the ACT II climax, all is lost place and 10,000 more words to show the ACT III Big Climax and outcome of the story. Most novelists advise getting out of the story as quickly as is reasonable once the climax is decided–a long, drawn-out resolution can kill readers' satisfaction. And remember, there are only about five outcomes possible: Character 1) gets what she wants and is happy 2) doesn't get what she wants and is unhappy 3) gets what he wants and is unhappy 4) doesn't get what he wants and is happy (or changes the goal) and 5) doesn't care (not recommended). Where are you in the Nanowrimo Formula?
Thanks for this post on Nano, Linda. I always flounder with how long things should be and these are great guidelines!
So glad you can use the tips. Good for you on taking the Nano challenge. Keep writing!

This very precious Angel was found in a dog's mouth and turned into animal control in Ca. It is unknown how he came to be outside wandering on his own. The best guess is possibly his owner had passed away and somehow he got outside looking for people to help him. He spent 20 days in a vet's office there and that is where they gave him the name of "Taylor". Someone who had worked with Best Friends Parrot Garden heard about him being at the vets office and since nobody came forward to claim him they contacted Jacqueline Johnson the manager for Best Friends Parrot Garden.
Jacqueline said that they were already at full capacity, but after hearing his story she knew that this very special boy needed someone with experience to give him everything he deserved at this time in his life. Jacqueline contacted Bonnie Grafton, one of the very experienced employees at Best Friends and told her about Taylor. Bonnie was home in bed with Type A flu, but she agreed immediately to meet the transport person and bring Taylor to her home for ISO.
The moment Bonnie saw him she was astounded by his apparent age, she said he is the oldest bird she had ever seen and even his nares are wrinkled. His wings are fused, he is a little feathered challenged and he is dealing with tumors of some sort. In all her years of dealing with avian rescue, she said she had never seen a bird in this kind of condition. He stepped up immediately for Bonnie and she knew in that moment that he was one special Angel. She vowed right there to make sure the rest of his life is full of good things.
Taylor is now spending his life with Bonnie and Ed Grafton. They have fallen in love with this precious soul and said it is very apparent that he was at one time someone's beloved companion. The Grafton's say he is a very special old guy and for whatever time he has left, he will be staying with them. They believe he especially deserves the comfort of a home and are glad to have him.
" He stole our hearts the moment we met him. He is home now, and here he will spend the rest of his days".
His first night with Bonnie and Ed, they mixed chop with his pellets and he dug through and picked up 2 pellets in his beak, went to the water dish and dunked them and started eating. Obviously he knew what pellets were and had been given a good diet previously. When he sees them he says "Wanna come out". It is so very obvious that this boy has been loved and has shared his life with those that he loved as well.
Taylor has a new vet and even she commented that he was indeed the nicest Macaw she had ever met. Taylor has some injuries that are being taken care of by Bonnie, and also has tumors that the vet will be dealing with. For now Bonnie has been bathing him daily and treating the wounds. He very patiently allows her to do this, however Bonnie says he is a true Mac and has expressed his displeasure with some of the treatments, but he quickly settles back down and allows her to take care of him. His medical treatments are done twice a day and he is also has to take oral medications. While he isn't happy about all of this, he complies and is rewarded with a big walnut afterwards and as with ALL Macaws…food is always a motivator. Bonnie also says he is one of the most loving macaws she ever met, he gently lays his sweet head in their hands and will snuggle against their chest for love right after his medical treatments.
Bonnie and Ed have also started lovingly calling him "Walter" or "Gramps". They are hoping that someday he will tell them what his name is but for now he is just an Angel no matter what his name was.
So what do we know about "Taylor"… well we know he a very old soul. This is obvious by the wrinkles of time on his body. In captivity this means he was loved and cared for to make it this far in life. How did he get out on his own? We may never know that unless someone comes forward someday to share his story. Until that time we can only speculate on how it could have happened. It is very clear that this boy was very loved and cared for during his many years here on this earth. He shows this in his own ability to love and trust others so immediately. When these Angels are coming from abusive lives they do not respond with such trust so quickly. So while we may never know how he got loose…we do know that his journey has now taken him to the loving home of Bonnie and Ed Grafton and for however long his life may be, he will be spending it with two people who also truly love him. He is one special and loved boy and his life should be a celebrated! When the Lord calls him to the Rainbow Bridge one day, what a story he will have to share with all the other birds and animals there. He has had quite a journey….full of Love…and isn't that what life is all about?
For those of you following "Taylor"…Every few days Taylor needs to get into a nice warm bath. The warm water seems to help with a little lift in his wings and we can get things really clean and wash away the buildup from his wound care. However, in true mac fashion he has already figured out when we have an agenda. He will lay his head on my arm and completely refuse to step up. Anyway, everyone loves a cute bath picture, so here you go!
Pearl the chihuahua was the official greeter at the clinic today. Pearl is a puppy mill mom who spent 13 years in a cage producing babies. She was outside today because she is learning to run. I'll let you think about that for a minute. Pearl was fascinated with Taylor, as was he with her. Cutest interaction ever. This lasted only a few moments and was closely supervised by myself and Pearl's mom, Kim. Neither animal was ever in any danger, each only curious about the other. Now…on to Taylor's update..The doctor continues to be pleased with Taylor's progress and we got the go ahead to use honey to help the healing process. Our doctor is concentrating on Taylor's wound and general improving health before addressing exactly how she is going to get the blood draw. So, Taylor's quarantine will continue in our home and he will go back to the doc in a couple weeks. He was a little upset after his wound cleaning today and stood for several minutes just holding my finger in his talon. He continues to offer his head to everyone he meets, including Pearl. I will continue to wonder about the person who loved him so much before us and hope that where ever they are, they know that he is once again safe and loved.
All this time, we were thinking Taylor was saying "Hi Paco". Tonight, Ed finally got it. Taylor's real name was Popeye. When Ed said it to him, he answered with "What?" not once but twice. If you sing "Popeye the Sailor Man", he whistles twice at the end…..too funny!
Pissed off Popeye. 3 months in and we are still fighting this horrific wound.Yesterday the entire wound area was debrided under anesthesia and bandaged. All I've got to say about that is this is one tough old bird with a will to live that blows me away. When we got home, Popeye ate like we'd been starving him and then immediately started on the bandages. No soft collar available, so we had to go with the cone of shame until Friday. When he figured out he couldn't reach the offense material with his beak he started pulling the bandages with his feet…more adjustments, more tape. It's been a long night of dish throwing, towel chewing and collar snapping.
I'd love to hear what Bonnie & Ed are taught from this wise one. What a blessing to all three of them.
Thank you for loving him, Bonnie and Ed. He deserves all that you can give.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving him.
Such a wonderful saga, God Bless you Taylor, Bonnie and Ed. Please keep us posted on all the great things Taylor shares with you.
He couldn't have landed in a better home! May you all have many good days of love, life and Joy ahead.
Amazing story…thanks for sharing this story with everyone,my blue and gold is only 13 years oldand i cant imagine my life without him..i have had him since he was 2 weeks old..God bless you and your husband for giving him a home..
Thanks Bonnie and Ed for taking this old soul into your hearts and home.. I'm sure he will reward you with love in kind….
Thank you all for your kind comments. I'm a little embarrassed by all the attention because I know that each of you would have done the same thing. "Taylor" is one very special old guy and we feel very lucky that he has joined our family.
I absolutely loved this story. How wonderful and precious! My husband and I have two rescue birds- an african grey and a cockatoo. We hope to someday rescue a macaw and an amazon as well. I especially loved the quote at the end about parrots being children from another world. How true!
Beautiful story. I have 21 parrots and can only pray that when I am gone someone will love them as much as I do> God Bless.
I was deeply touched by this story of true redemption for this very special boy. The fact that he is now in the care of Bonnie & Ed is a true miracle. When I met Bonnie, I immediately sensed her devotion for our fine feathered friends! It brings me much joy to know she was the one to care for this very needy Macaw. Now Walter is home nestled in their love & care & that alone brings comfort to me.
So nice to hear from you. Much love to your family & Dizzy!
Good! Blessings on you, Ed & Bonnie!
Your story made me cry! You all are so very lucky to have found him….treasure every single moment with him as each is precious!
I also had the wonderful priviledge to have had time with a rescue bird. I took in Mac, a Timneh that I had an immediate connection with. She was crippled and picked – being bare-chested when I got her. She too, was so trusting and sweet. During her time with me she grew her feathers back (the ones she could), learned to play with toys and enjoy a bigger cage with lots of perches and a playtop. I only had her for 8 mos before she passed but she was like a child to me and we had a bond closer than any I have ever had with another bird. Without going into her history, she had obviously had a long, rough life. It was clear that the time we had together was probably the best 8 months of her life and I will always treasure those memories.
You are special people who are so lucky to have this opportunity — I wish you many years of happy, loving companionship with Taylor.
Thank you all for continuing to follow Taylor's journey!
I'm so glad you found each other Bonnie. Special needs pets, like special needs kids, can definitely be heart wrenching. It seems he does realize your ministrations are to help him since once the pain subsides he comes to share affection. You are all on a journey full of love, sprinkled with challenges of course, but life is rarely easy. Blessings to you all, you've earned them.
Thank you for being his angel on earth and giving him the love and care he deserves.
Thank you so much for taking Popeye into your home and heart. And sharing his story with use. I do macaw rescue as well. While I have seen many sad cases, Popeye's story is special! Keep up the great work!
Can't stop crying! Good luck to you and the wonderful bird!
Thank you for sharing your story of magnificent Popeye The Taylor Man. I was smiling and crying reading this incredible story . I really enjoyed the pictures and the song selection is perfect ! Please keep up all your fantastic work and love you provide all the birds ! What a wonderful world indeed !
He is such a lovely and sweet boy.
Bless you Popeyes, and your new forever family! Inspirational bird and story! No matter what- he knows he is loved and safe!!!


NOTE: This blog is inactive. Visit the new official HAPP website at www.happresearch.com... Home-brewed spaceships! This blog chronicles development of a stabilized camera/video platform for photography at high altitudes over 30 kilometers / 100,000 ft. The platform will be lifted by a weather balloon and autonomously stabilized using a cold gas reaction control system (RCS).
Ever since I finally got the internal structure re-configured for optimal balance and aerodynamic stability using some serious 3D modeling, I have been working frantically like Doc Brown jacked on Red Bull to get the structural components built and assembled.
Soon I'll post a walk-through of the entire structure and the various components, but for now I thought I'd show you what the parts look like and discuss how I processed them. This picture shows the whole suite of structural components, which are all fabricated from carbon fiber.
Need more fiber in your diet? Carbon fiber, that is.
The closed sections (round and square tubes) were purchased from Rockwest Composites and cut to length. The round tubes are mortars for the parachutes, and in the photo you can see one of the 60-inch parachutes peeking out of its mortar tube - stay tuned for excellent videos of explosive parachute deployment! The square tube is the main strut that runs vertically down the center of the HAPP.
The flat sections, also from Rockwest, were a bit more tricky. These are, variously, the internal decks (round), three aerodynamic strakes (triangular), and holders for the parachute mortars (various small pieces). I purchased rectangular plate stock of various thickness from Rockwest and had to machine the parts using a CNC mill. Thickness ranges from 0.7 to 2.9 mm, depending on the part. The largest single plate was 24x24 inches and 2.2 mm thick (SKU # 403-22). Not cheap!
To save weight and maximize flight altitude, I had to abandon the aluminum mounting system described in a previous post. Now I'm bonding the structure together with specialty adhesive - in particular, this 2K epoxy from 3M. This approach means the craft will not be easy to repair if any parts are damaged in flight testing, but such are the engineering tradeoffs in aerospace!
It also means the assembly process is a bit more complex. To hold the parts together while the epoxy does its bonding magic, I decided to 3D-print some assembly jigs using high-accuracy SLA. Here's one of the jigs. This one holds the end caps onto the parachute mortar tubes. I made a total of 5 different jigs. Thanks as always to Steve and the great 3D printing team at ThingSmiths in Ann Arbor.

This is my new cousin Mia Grace Walters. My cousin Dana has given birth to this beautiful little angel. They have been waiting patiently for her to arrive and she finally did this month. I can't wait to see her in person. Congratulations Dana and Brad!
Gary and Tara Come to Atlanta!
Gary and Tara came to Atlanta. We didn't get to see them the whole time they were here. Tara was visiting her cousin and Gary was here for one of his classes and he had competitions and a full schedule while he was here. But today we got to see them! Scott did have a bid today so he couldn't leave the office, but they came in to see him for a little bit. I got to go to lunch with them. We went to Moe's and got to visit for a while. We can't wait until they come back.
We had some fun today at work with April Fool's Day! Scott and I got to work this morning before we went in we decided we would have a little fun with some co-workers. Dave from the office needed to borrow Scott' s truck yesterday and we took his Trailblazer, so when we got to work Scott told him that his transmission had starting slipping (that's a joke because that has happened to Scott TWICE in the last six months), and Dave was so worried. I went and told Linda that I work with in the office that I was pregnant, she got a little more excited than I expected so I had to tell her really quick. After that it caught on and Dave started calling around with some "emergencies" of his own. It was also bid day for Scott, so after everything had calmed down and Scott got in the zone for the bid, he got pranked himself. Dave went to the bid and called him afterward and told him that we had won the bid, but that we were $300,000.00 less then the next high bidder, which made Scott freak! Everybody got a good laugh, even Scott. All in all it was a nice little comic relief for the day.

Q: Redirect Java 8 GC logs to stderr Is there any way to print GC logs to stderr instead of stdout in SunJDK Java 8.
I am using -verbose:gc to enable GC logs and it is redirecting to stdout by default.
This can printed to a file using -Xloggc: argument.
But unable to print GC logs to stderr. Printing to stdout clutters my log file with GC allocation failure logs

A: For Java 8 use
java -Xloggc:stderr

For Java 9+ try using
java -Xlog:gc:stderr ...

Or for a higher log level
java -Xlog:gc=debug:stderr ...

Or for logging each garbage collection:

August 11, 1966 -- Astor Towers Press Conference with The Beatles
August 11, 1966 – The Beatles arrive in Chicago in the middle of a swirling controversy, and John Lennon, in a press conference at the Astor Towers Hotel, apologizes for his part in creating the furor that developed after his casual remark that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. "I wasn't saying whatever they say I was saying," says Lennon, described by the Tribune as a "Shaggy-haired Liverpool performer." [Chicago Tribune, August 11, 1966] "I 'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologize if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologize, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry." For a personal essay on the event and how it has stayed with me for fifty years, you may want to look up this blog entry from 2009. Information concerning Astor Towers, where the press conference took place, may be found here.

Waking up on my last day in city. I would have rather slept well past noon. Mind you, when I woke up then I'd just have felt like I wasted my day, so it was probably for the best.
Why was I waking? Was it to go see the festival where a number of sumo wrestlers hold babies to make them cry, thus warding away evil spirits? No it was not, though that event was also taking place in a different part of the city. I was off to the orchestra. With three other people, none of who really seem all that into the orchestra. And I wasn't either but I was into cultural experiences, and I do like live music.
In preparation for this event I thought it would be best if I leave my pack at home. No camera, no books, just me and the music. Let this be a lesson – no matter how freeing you think it will be to not have your camera, you will miss it and you will regret not having brought it with you. Only for those beyond the addiction to photography should ever attempt such a feat. Even they will, ultimately, be missing out.
The one hour subway ride? Less than ideal. Yes, I had a seat, but with no book time simply existed. I put myself into a thought-based trance, trying to think of everything I still had to plan to round out my year, and time seemed to kick right along from that point on. But, once more, point noted... don't leave your book behind.
At the orchestra we filed in, grabbing our general admission seats, trying to tell ourselves that we would not fall asleep.
One by one everyone nodded off – the most obvious being he who had his program notes resting on his lap, which went crashing to the floor during a particularly silent bit. Still, he was not to be blamed. All around peoples eyes were closed, perhaps begun as a way to experience the music, but the lifeless lean and spittle forming at the corners of their mouths gave evidence that it went far beyond that not.
It was not only in the audience that things were dropped either. On stage one woman dropped her bow, and the guy in the back crashing the symbols together hit them too hard, the right half of the pair leaving his hand, flying through space slow enough that you could recognize the range of emotion from shock, terror, regret, and awkward awareness before it smashed against the ground, one extra note out of place.
That part? It was my favourite part.
It dawned on me that I did not dislike lyric-less music. While I may not be the biggest fan of classical music, one of the pieces was quite agreeable, if only because it reminded me of a piece from Final Fantasy. Were I to put together my own orchestral set list many of the pieces would come from games – though not all, movies would have their place too.
And I wondered, what is it about those pieces that connects with me? Why not the classical works that are said to be most excellent?
Emotional investment? Understanding? Simply that the music of today is 'better' quote-unquote. I'm not sure, but hey – it wasn't half bad!
For what it's worth I think I was the only person to not fall asleep. I did close my eyes under the prompting that it would best allow me to connect with the songs. This was dangerous advice, as my mind quickly began to wander. But I do not believe I fell asleep, because I do not remember ever waking up.
Outside the music hall, down a great straight street stood the Tokyo Sky Tree – still under construction just over half its final height, now touching the 349m mark.
The Sky Tree? It's like the Arc de Triumph in Paris. You can walk towards it, and you know that you must be getting closer. Still, you never make any progress. Step after step, you close in, and yet there it is – just as far away as the last time you looked up at it.
It's hard to say when you transition from being far away to right beside it. I imagine it's a sort of portal that you warp through. There really is no other excuse. For twenty minutes it will be off in the distance, and then – just like that – you're against the wall that was erected to keep curious Japanese from getting too close with their cameras. I guess foreigners take pictures as well, but I wouldn't know – I was the only one, and my camera? Left behind. Who knew I'd see this?! Who even knew this existed?
After far too long sitting on a railing, being impressed by simply looking up, we whisked ourselves away to Shinjuku for food. My last meal. More types of okinomiyaki. Japanese food? My lord is it delicious!
My buddy joined us all after he finished work, and we kept ourselves well fed into the night.
Once others had left for sleep, and other such important things, the two of us headed off for one final episode of karaoke. Oh the songs that were sung, and the night that was had. Probably to just leave out the fact that I sang many a female pop song from the mid-nineties. And belting out Pearl Jam, it was decided that we were old, and that was sad.
Tokyo – you've been a lovely place, and Japan? A great country. I'll see you again I'm sure. Some day.
