Website video production can be tailored especially for you. Bespoke video on your website will promote your skills and services to a wider audience. With over 15 years' experience in digital video production, I now work as a filmmaker and video producer creating website videos and films for a wide range of clients.
A recent example of a website video production that I have produced, filmed and edited was for Malvia Kenlock. Malvia is a qualified hypnotherapist who specialises in alternative healing techniques. Malvia was keen to promote her skills and services to a wider audience. She wanted a video that could be uploaded to YouTube and embedded onto her website. Malvia was also looking for versions of varying durations that could be uploaded and shared via different social media sites.
At the start of the website video production process, Malvia and I talked on the phone and discussed the project's aims. Before we began to work on the project, I needed to learn about the therapeutic hypnotherapy process. This would ensure that I could understand how this could be communicated via a website video. I then asked Malvia to consider and write down the main points that she wanted to communicate. Malvia sent me an e-mail with the main points so I could ensure they would all be covered during the filming sessions. After this first phone consultation, I conducted some further research on the subject. I also searched to see how other hypnotherapists were using video on their websites. It quickly became apparent that the use and quality of existing videos in this field are really quite low.
Over a period of several days of researching the subject, I began to formulate some creative ideas that I thought would work well for this video. I always find it very helpful to think things through for a few days and to consider ideas over time. For me, giving concepts some thinking time always results in a better range of creative ideas to any problems which may present themselves.
For this hypnotherapy promotional video, I thought that filming an interview with Malvia in front of a green screen would work very well. This would then allow me to purchase some stock video footage that would help me to communicate the relaxing nature of a hypnotherapy session. I researched what backgrounds might convey a sense of relaxation. I sent Malvia a link to that she could have a look through a selection. Malvia then selected which of the options would best suit the message she wished to communicate.
In addition to the filming of an interview with Malvia, I also planned to film a couple of 'dummy' hypnotherapy sessions using actors. These images would help to illustrate what happens when a session takes place with Malvia. Potential clients, watching the video, would hopefully then feel more confident about exploring the process themselves. This would also help to allay any fears or preconceived ideas they might have about therapeutic hypnotherapy.
After sharing my ideas and my concept for the video with Malvia, I was given the green light to proceed. We scheduled a filming date that would enable us to capture everything required on the same day. I thought that editing in a music bed would also help to convey a relaxed atmosphere for this and so we sourced a suitable track that could be licensed for it.
The actual filming and the post-production editing processes for this website video production took place over several consecutive days. Once I was happy with it I showed it to Malvia and her professional marketing advisor. Both of them were delighted with my first edit. I was very pleased that no changes were required as this demonstrated my ability to deliver to their brief. In addition to the main 2-minute video, I also edited a 60-second version that could be uploaded to Twitter and Instagram. The final videos help to convey how hypnotherapy can benefit people. The videos also help to demystify the process whilst introducing Malvia's professional therapy skills. I'm really pleased with the results of this website video production and look forward to hearing how it is helping Malvia to gain new clients.
The final video has now been uploaded to the Malvia Kenlock YouTube channel. If you would like any help with your project I would be delighted to hear from you. More examples of my work can be viewed in my video portfolio.

Aaron Rodgers, Mason Crosby Lead Green Bay Packers To MNF Comeback Win
Redemption!
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby connected on a 27-yard game-winning field goal in a 33-30 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, just one week after the worst game of his career.
Crosby missed four field goals during Green Bay's 31-23 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 5 and received blame from fans after the loss, before scoring the deciding three points against the Niners.
"Obviously it's an awesome game to comeback and bounce back," Crosby told ESPN's Lisa Salters after the game. "I was just hoping I'd get a lot of chances to help this team win and I can't say much. I'm kind of broken up about it. My teammates, it's been unreal the support this week from the guys in the locker room and we just stuck together. What a gutsy win that was."
The kick was set up by an 81-yard drive led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whose second half performance propelled Green Bay back from a 7-point fourth quarter deficit.
Rodgers connected with Davante Adams on a 16-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 30 with 1:55 remaining.
Kevin King intercepted 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard on San Francisco's next possession on 3rd down, which gave possession back to the Packers to set up the game-winning drive with 1:07 left in regulation.
Rodgers admitted that he was thinking of "overtime actually" when Green Bay reclaimed possession after the game.
"When Ty [Montgomery] broke off the first run outside the 25 I said, 'we'll take a couple shots,'" Rodgers told Salters. "They kinda sagged a little bit in the coverages and didn't bring pressure. I told them to get out there and put a run and then the last two plays we had a great job by the young guy [Equanimeous St. Brown] on the sideline not only catching the ball, great release, catching the ball, getting out of bounds. Then to come back and hit Davante [Adams] same thing, other side.
"We had faith in Mason from anywhere tonight like we always do but to get him even closer made it a certainty."
The Packers' rookie receivers, St. Brown and J'Mon Moore, received more playing time in the absence of former Pro Bowl receiver Randall Cobb, who missed Monday's game due to an injury.

There are days you feel like a mighty warrior, ready for battle and not shaken by anything the world, your flesh and the enemy throws at you. Then their are days that seem to be blaaaah. Just feeling indifferent to everything, not feeling as courageous, not feeling as bold and just not feeling as strong. Your once loud roar that was full of life becomes a…… meow lol Thats how it has been for me the past few days just a feeling of apathy & weariness has taken over me but I know these are not the fruits of the spirit. You see the Lord told me to began writing blogs, creating youtube videos and even starting a prayer meeting at my house several months ago. Which I have been doing for quite a few weeks now however, it can be difficult at times when I am going through a trial if I can be honest I don't want to lead. I don't want to do anything really I tell the Lord "Can I just sit back" , "Lord I am tired". I find myself always feeling the need to be strong for others in the midst of my weakness. To post an encouraging video, to post an encouraging blog uplifting others when I myself feel so down. It was through reading a dear friend Gigi's blog and her transparency where I felt the Lord lead me to write this blog to boast about my weakness. Initially I was going to write another blog that roared loudly lol but I felt the Lord say you know in your weakness "I" roar the loudest.
So I have been having to tell myself to rise up using the word of God to anchor me. To not be moved by my emotions or how I feel but press forward with faith in all that God asked me to do because our enemy will never stop so we cant either. Most importantly to call upon the Lord because there is no way I can do this walk, this call, these assignments without his help and strength. He in fact is the source of my strength I was reminded that when my roar turns into a meows He is there roaring FOR me every time and the times I do roar He is roaring WITH me. He never stops, He is the only LION, The Lion of The Tribe of Judah, The Lamb of God, My King, My love Jesus Christ! Greater is in me that is in the world and I am more than a conquer in Christ Jesus!. He is the only one with the roar that causes our enemies to scatter, in our various weakness he roars on our behalf every time. Thats why we should boast in our weakness because then His strength flows through us all that the more.
So Lord I come before you saying I am fickle, feeble minded, tired and weak of heart. Strengthen me oh Lord for the times ahead and give me wisdom to discern good from evil so I can judge correctly those who you have called me to lead. I ask you for the grace to finish my race with faith, perseverance and endurance. I ask that the Passion of Christ strengthen every area in my heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit so I can be a true witness for you and minister to others to bring them into your kingdom. Deliver me from evil Lord and fill me with your joy overflowing. I love you Lord.
When The Enemy Assigned Death The Lord Declared Life & Multiplication!
you took the words right out of my inner feelings, LOL….so relatable and so needed to read that the Lord's Roar is what is really sustaining us in our meow moments of weakness. Beautifully written, Bravo Matilda!!

Terminal Planetary Defense
PI is a practical and effective method of planetary defense that allows for extremely short mitigation time scales as well as general use for longer warning time cases . The method involves an array of small hypervelocity kinetic penetrators that pulverize and disassemble an asteroid or small comet. This effectively mitigates the threat using the Earth's atmosphere to dissipate the fragment cloud where the atmosphere acts as a "bullet proof vest" or "body armor". The effects of doing so are remarkable in their effectiveness. The key is to de-correlate the resulting acoustic blast waves on the ground and to take into account the optical signature due to fragment "burnup". Understanding both effects and and spreading the fragment cloud both spatially and temporally allows for virtually any threat to be mitigated. PI stands for "Pulverize It".
The system allows a terminal defense solution to planetary defense using existing technologies. This approach will work in extended time scale interdiction modes where there is a large warning time, as well as in short interdiction time scenarios with intercepts of hours to days before impact. In longer time intercept scenarios, the disassembled asteroid fragments largely miss the Earth. In short intercept scenarios, the asteroid fragments of maximum ~10-meter diameter allow the Earth's atmosphere to act as a "beam dump" where the fragments either burn up in the atmosphere or air burst, with the primary channel of energy going into spatially and temporally de-correlated shock waves. Compared to other threat reduction scenarios, this approach represents an extremely cost effective, testable, and deployable approach with a logical roadmap of development and testing. Pre-deployment of the system into orbit or a lunar base allows for rapid response on the order of less than a day if needed. The effectiveness of the approach depends on the time to intercept and size of the asteroid, but allows for effective defense against asteroids in the multi-hundred-meter diameter class and could virtually eliminate the threat of mass destruction caused by these threats. The great advantage of this approach is that it allows for terminal defense in the event of short warning times and target distance mitigation where orbital deflection is not feasible.
As an example, we show that with only a 1m/s internal disruption, a 5 hours prior to impact intercept of a 50m diameter asteroid (~10Mt yield, similar to Tunguska), a 1 day prior to impact intercept of 100m diameter asteroid (~100Mt yield), or a 10 day prior to impact intercept of Apophis (~370m diameter, ~ 4 Gt yield) would mitigate these threats. Mitigation of a 1km diameter threat with a 60-day intercept is also viable. We also show that a 20m diameter asteroid (~0.5Mt, similar to Chelyabinsk) can be mitigated with a 100 second prior to impact intercept with a 10m/s disruption and 1000 second prior to impact with a 1m/s disruption. Zero-time intercept of 20m class objects are possible due to atmospheric dispersion effects. The theoretical details and the analytic and numerical simulations showing the program works is discussed in our technical papers.
Such a capability would allow humanity for the first time to take control over its destiny relative to asteroid and comet impacts.
How does PI work?
PI works by intercepting the parent threat, whether asteroid or comet, by intercepting the parent bolide with an array of penetrating rods, some filled with conventional explosives, early enough to both fracture the parent bolide into small fragments that are typically below 15m diameter. The penetrators fracture and spread the fragments laterally as well as along the velocity vector direction. Only small fragment speeds (in the bolide frame) and hence low energy are required. The typically speed of the fragments in the bolide frame is roughly 1 -10 m/s. For reference you can walk faster than 1 m/s. Faster fragments speeds are better but require more energy. The resulting fragments are spread out into a fragment cloud that then eventually either hits the Earth's atmosphere or if intercepted early enough the fragments miss the Earth completely. The fragment cloud enters the Earth's atmosphere at hypersonic speeds (typically around Mach 60 or 60 times the speed of sound) and like a re-entering spacecraft it experience extreme levels of "ram pressure" and heating due to high speed impacts from the atmosphere, causing breakup due to structural failure of each fragment at altitudes depending on the fragment size (typically around 30-50 km altitude for our system). The resulting cascade effect causes a "detonation" with a large acoustical blast wave and optical pulse generated. The acoustical blast is similar to the "sonic boom" from a re-entering spacecraft or supersonic spacecraft. While the energy of each fragment can be similar to a modern strategic thermonuclear weapon there is no radiation hazard, only a large "light and sound" show. What could have killed millions had no intercept taken place is now reduced to a large number of displays of thunder and lighting like effects. The key is that the acoustic shock waves are de-correlated in time so an observer "hears" a series of small blast wave that rise and fall rapidly on a time scale of order a second and hence what would have been a deadly high pressure blast wave is reduced to a series of much lower pressure blast waves that do not overlap in time in general. There is also a small amount of dust generated from the fragment detonation in the atmosphere. We show that the dust is not significant in terms of causing a "nuclear winter" scenario.
Other Penetrator Options
There are many possible ways to accomplish the fragmentation/ pulverizing of the threatening bolide. Optimization of the various techniques we are considering will come from detailed hypervelocity simulations and later from ground testing. Methods we are considering, in addition to the longer penetrator rod, include large numbers of small explosive filled rods/ spheres that hit in waves to "blow off successive surface layers" as well as simple solid spheres (like metal "ball bearing" ) that impact and erode the bolide. The optimum techniques will also depend on the size and composition of the bolide. Multiple options could be "at the ready" with a simple swapping of the intercept payload depending on the threat. Ideally we will find a single option that works well in all cases.
Energy Required for Internal Disruption
As shown in our technical paper and in the briefing charts, the energy required for overcoming the gravitational (self attraction) energy of the bolide and the kinetic energy to propel the fragments into the spreading fragment cloud is very small. For example, a large 100m diameter rocky asteroid approaching the Earth at 20 km/s, only requires 250 kg of explosives (TNT equivalent) or a 5 kg mass of penetrator to supply the energy required to overcome the gravitational assembly energy and to spread the fragment cloud at a speed of 1 m/s. The reason that the penetrator mass is so small is that in the frame of reference of the bolide the penetrator has a speed of the approach of the speed of the bolide (20 km/s in this case) and thus the kinetic energy in the penetrator is extremely high, much higher than the equivalent energy of the same mass of chemical explosives. The critical question to be answered in our upcoming hypervelocity simulations is the coupling between the penetrator kinetic energy (in the frame of the bolide) and the kinetic energy of the fragments (in the frame of the bolide). While explosive filled penetrators add little in terms of the total energy in the bolide frame, they do offer the potential for much higher energy coupling into the bolide. More is needed in the simulations to determine if explosive filled penetrators are needed.
Energy Scale Comparison
Comparing energy scale is helpful in understand the basic problem and solution. Consider that the 2013 Chelyabinsk asteroid impacts with a diameter of approximately 20m had the energy of about 40 times that of the Hiroshima nuclear weapon. We know the blast wave and optical pulse measured in Chelyabinsk is fairly consistent with our calculations as discussed in the PI technical paper.
In PI, by spreading the fragments out spatially and temporally, the acoustic (blast wave) is de-correlated from each fragment due to the slow speed of sound compared to both the bolide speed (~ Mach 60 @ 20 km/s) and compared to the speed of light of the optical pulse (~ one million times faster than the acoustic blast).
Consider the energy of the extreme case of a 1 km impactor compared to the energy of sunlight in one hour on the Earth.
A 1 km bolide with density 2.6 g/cc @ 20 km/s has a KE ~ 3×1020 J
Energy of one hour of sunlight on the Earth ~ 5×1020 J
Comparable but we worry about the 1 km impact, as we should, but not about one hour of sunlight. Yet they have about the same energy on the Earth. Why? Because of the time scale of energy deposition (the power). What PI does is spread the damage from the bolide in both space and time similar to sunlight as an analogy. Of course they are different but the analogy is useful.
The figures below show the overall acoustic, optical and dust production as well as the de-correlated blast waves seen at two ground observers.
Impact threats
The threat of impacts is real and well recorded. Looking at the Moon you can see the craters formed by impacts on the Moon largely frozen in time due to the lack of a lunar atmosphere and hence the lack of weathering and no significant large scale geological upwelling. The Earth has been similarly bombarded but with a few exceptions the evidence is not as immediately visible due to weathering and geological activity as well as most impacts occur in the oceans as the surface of the Earth is largely covered in water.
The time between impacts is reasonably modeled by a power law of time between impacts and the diameter and impact energy of the threat, From geological records we know there have been a number of mass extinction of life on Earth that appear to be associated with impacts from asteroids and comets. The last mass extinction event was about 65 million years ago at the K-T boundary when the dinosaurs were wiped out. In the last century we have witnessed two major events and hundreds of smaller events. Every day approximately 100 tons of small debris rains down on the Earth, burning up in the atmosphere with little effect on us but sometimes the effects can be catastrophic.
Asteroid and comet threats are real but highly episodic in terms of loss of life. As discussed below, the threats from asteroid impacts is well approximated by a power law in terms of frequency of events vs energy deposited. In general only asteroids larger than about 20m diameter (occurring on average about every 60 years with about 0.5 Mt energy – assuming stony composition) cause any significant ground damage and only asteroids larger than about 80m diameter (occurring on average about every 5000 years with about 50 Mt energy – assuming stony composition) actually penetrate through the atmosphere and hit the ground. Truly existential threats that could extinguish humanity have diameters great than about 5 km diameter (occurring on average about every 50 million years with about 10 Tt energy – assuming stony composition). The event that killed the dinosaurs (KT extinction) is estimated (based on the Ir in the KT clay layer) to have been a 10 km diameter asteroid (possibly a small comet though it is unclear how the measured Ir would be in a comet) with an energy of approximately 100 Tt or 15,000 times the total energy of the current total worlds nuclear arsenal. Such events are estimated to occur about every 100 million years.
Comet Threats
Comet threats are also very real and potentially much more devastating than asteroid threats. Comets can have extremely large nuclei and are also much higher speed (in general) than asteroids. Much less attention has been placed on comet and comet fragments than asteroids, partly due to their impact rarity compared to asteroids and partly due to our lack of defense options. See our work on directed energy planetary defense for a discussion of comet defense.
Threat Comparison
It is useful to compare various "common threats" we face in life to extraterrestrial threats from asteroids and comets. For example, on average 1.3 million people per year die in car accidents world wide and 50 million people are injured. If the world human population were static (it is not) then in an average human lifetime of about 80 years, 100 million people will die and 4 billion people will be injured in car accidents. Think about this. Half of the world population will be injured (some minor) in an average human lifetime. Why do we drive then? We accept the rate of death and injury largely because it is relatively constant (NOT episodic) AND we need transportation. Imagine for a moment, instead of an average of 1.3 million dying and 50 million being injured per year, that all 1.3 million dead and all 50 million injured happened in one day and then no deaths nor injuries for the rest of the year. This is more like like the analogy to episodic events like asteroid or comet threats. A much more enlightening case is to imagine that all 100 million dead and all 4 billion injured happened in one day and then none for another 80 years (human lifetime). This is the difference between relatively constant events like car accidents and episodic events like asteroid or comets. In general we would NOT tolerate 100 million dead and 4 billion injured in one day but we do tolerate 100 million dead and 4 billion injured in your lifetime. There is a very different psychological response to these scenarios (average death and injury vs episodic) YET the numbers are same. We summarize some threats below.
Relative threat level per Lifetime
C.R. Chapman & D. Morrison, 1994, Nature 367, 33-40
(roughly all humanity dies every 100 million years) 1010/108 = 100 people/yr =10,000 people per human lifetime
~ 10-6 (one chance per million) of a person dying per lifetime
Motor vehicle accident = 1 in 100 (1% chance of dying and 50% chance of being injured)
Homicide = 1 in 300
Fire = 1 in 800
Firearms accident = 1 in 2,500
Electrocution = 1 in 5,000
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Tunguska 1908 – Air burst from estimated 50-100m diameter asteroid or possibly small or grazing comet. Resulting shock blast blew down millions of trees over several thousand square kilometer area.
Passenger aircraft crash = 1 in 20,000
Flood = 1 in 30,000
Tornado = 1 in 60,000
Venomous bite or sting = 1 in 100,000
Asteroid/comet impact = ~1 in 200,000+ (but Episodic!)
Fireworks accident = 1 in 1 million
Food poisoning by botulism = 1 in 3 million
Drinking water EPA limit of tricholoethylene = 1 in 10 million
Airburst vs Ground Impacts – For common stony asteroids with diameters less than about 80m the asteroid will break up in the atmosphere and not hit the ground. This is known as an "air burst". For diameters great than 80m there will be a ground impact which is generally far more devastating locally. Our program fractures the bolides (asteroid or comet) so it never hits the ground intact. Very small fragments may survive at hit the ground but they are generally not a danger as they slow down dramatically due to atmospheric drag.
Tunguska – A large event occurred in 1908 in Russia (Siberia – Tunguska event) where a modest sized asteroid or comet fragment estimated to be between 50 and 100m in diameter with and impact energy of between 3 and 30 Mt (megatons TNT) or like that of a large thermonuclear weapon. This event happened in a very remote area that was extremely sparsely populated with the acoustical shock wave knocking down millions of trees over about a 1000 km2 area and was an "air burst event" that did not hit the ground. Had this event occurred over a major modern city it could have killed millions of people. See: Tunguska event – Wikipedia
Chelyabinsk – A recent event that was extremely well recorded was in 2013 on Feb 15 in Chelyabinsk Russia. It had a diameter of approximately 20m and a yield of about 0.5 Mt or like that of a modern ICBM deployed strategic thermonuclear weapon. This was an "air burst event" that did not hit the ground.
This can seen on numerous "dash cams" from the early morning event. Approximately 1600 people were injured from the blast wave and the resulting window and building damage. Had the impact angle been steeper (closer to vertical) and had this occurred over a large city it could have threatened 10's to 100's of thousands of people. See: Chelyabinsk meteor – Wikipedia
Luck vs Threat – So far humanity has been spared large scale catastrophe as was visited upon our previous tenants but counting upon being "lucky" is a poor strategy in the longer term.

Intercept Time Sales for various Threats
The PI program is remarkable in the extremely short response times needed for mitigation. These times are vastly less than deflection based ideas for planetary defense. We have done thousands of simulations for various threat scenarios and show some results below for mitigations from 15 to 1000m diameter threats. Below 15m diameter for the most common stony asteroids, no action is needed as the Earth's atmosphere takes care of the "problem" for us. However, as humanity stretches out into the solar system with lunar and Martian bases with no or lesser atmospheres it is important to implement planetary defense on these outposts as well. In the plot below we show mitigation intercept time scale required for 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 370 (Apophis), 490 (Bennu) and 1000m diameter threats. We assume a nominal stony asteroid density (2.6 g/cc) and internal binding strength (~1-2 MPa). Note that the impact energy of a threat like Apophis which will visit us next on Friday the 13th of April , 2029 and come closer to the Earth's surface than geosynchronous satellites, has equivalent energy comparable to the entire nuclear arsenal of the Earth.
Intercept Decision Making
Detection and threat analysis are key to any planetary defense system. Improvements in this area are crucial. Our decision process for a given threat is summarized in the logic flow diagram below with the metric of threat on the surface of the Earth being set by the threshold to keep the blast wave peak pressure low enough to prevent significant damage and the optical pulse kept low enough to prevent fires. While the peak pressure allowed and the peak optical energy flux are free parameters in our simulation we set a limit that is typically <2 KPa for the peak blast pressure and 0.2 MJ/m2 for the sum of all optical pulses. These are shown in the figure above at the bottom for each intercept scenario. These are very conservative assumptions. Every fragment is tracked in our simulations and the atmospheric absorption for both the acoustic and the optical signature is accounted for. A robust planetary "civil defense" notification system is highly desirable to alert people to take shelter and close their eyes and cover their ears.
Robust Defense Capability
A planetary defense system will need both robust detection and a multi layered mitigation capability analogous to national defense systems. In national defense systems there is almost always a terminal defense mode in case the long range mitigation fails or a surprise short time threat occurs. PI offers both a terminal intercept mode for rapid response or as a last line of defense as well as a long range disruption capability if threat detection is early enough, all within the same general "family of mitigation". Having such a general purpose layered threat mitigation strategy is important to assure compete defense capability as well as reducing the number of mitigation methods for cost effective defense.
Proactive Threat Mitigation
Just as we do in many other areas of life, such as public health in dealing with pandemics proactively by taking protection against many diseases, so too can we treat planetary defense in a proactive way IF we wanted to. While not all threats are "repeat offenders" in that not all threats visit us multiple times before striking, we do know that some threats such as Apophis and Bennu do. One option is to eliminate these threats by preempting them. We could eliminate threats such as Apophis and Bennu with PI by intercepting them on a close approach and eliminating them as a future threat. This is both a policy and a technical area to be discussed.
International Cooperation in Planetary Defense
Ideally the area of planetary defense would transcend national border as the threat respects no borders. An ideal scenario would be to bring together an international effort to defend our planet for future generations.
PI represents a radical new approach to planetary defense. It is practical, testable both in computation, in ground testing of synthetic threats and in orbit. It is a logical and scalable approach that will for the first time allow humanity to take control over its fate.
Blast Wave Simulation Movies
Using the physics discussed in the main paper (http://arxiv.org/abs/2110.07559) we have developed blast wave movies that how the time evolution of the acoustic wave as measured by observers on the Earth's surface. The pressure is shown vs time and spatial position of the observer We assume the observer are on a flat plane for simplicity. A flat plane is a good approximation over several hundred kilometers. We will continue to add additional simulations as we develop them. Note that you are "seeing" the moving phase front on the blast wave which moves at the projected ground phase speed and not the group speed. Hence the ground phase front speed moves (expands) much faster than the shock speed. The actual shock speed near the ground is slightly larger than Mach 1 while the phase speed can be much faster depending on the projection angle (~ v_shock/sin(theta)) where theta is the angle of any observer point relative to the (particular) fragment burst altitude (typ ~ 30 km). See our paper for the mathematical details of the PI program. Excellent if you are having trouble sleeping.
See our Group YouTube channel for numerous shock wave and optical pulse movies and additional materials:
Movie below is for 1 day prior to impact intercept of 100m diameter parent asteroid fragmented into 1000 pieces with mean diameters of 10m
This is a near worst case scenario but shows the power of the PI system to mitigate threats
Impact energy is equivalent to approximately 100 Mt (megatons of TNT equivalent) or that of 250-500 thermonuclear weapons on modern ICBM's
If such an asteroid were to hit a major city it could kill and injure millions of people
Mitigated by PI , what would have been a major catastrophe is reduced to a large light and sound show with some possible limited residential window damage but no direct loss of life nor significant damage
Parent density 2.6 g/cc, 20 km/s speed, 1m/s disruption
Ground grid is 200×200 km at 100m resolution (2000×2000 array) with the center at the spot where the parent asteroid would have hit
Fragment cloud has a mean radius of approximately 86 km
The clock time is the time after the first fragment bursts at about 30 km. The first shock wave hits the ground at t~77 sec
350m diameter – Apophis
500m diameter – Bennu
800m diameter – PDC 2023

EUROPE WORLD
EU: Google Search Must Change Name in France – Google not a French Word
By Jean-Luc Picard Jun 10, 2016
BRUSSELS—The European Union (EU) took a pause from its seemingly never-ending—over two decades—string of antitrust and anticompetitive investigations and rulings against U.S.-based technology firms to issue a rare anticultural ruling against Google that would force the multinational corporation to alter the Google Search engine homepage for its France operations.
In the ruling issued last week, the European Union Culture Commission—the body that governs education, language, sports, and culture—approved a petition filed by the French Cultural Commission and declared "google" culturally and linguistic inappropriate for usage in the French language.
The commission further ruled that the technology behemoth would have to choose an appropriate French word to describe its Internet search engine.
The French Cultural Commission filed the EU petition almost two years ago at the urging of the powerful Académie française (French Academy), the official government body responsible for establishing and maintaining formal French language standards.
Established in 1635, Académie française maintains and enforces the linguistic purity of the French language through issuance of rules on grammar, usage, and lexicon. Specifically, it focuses on preventing the anglicization of the language.
In recent years, Académie française has been criticized for "language Nazis" behavior because it sought to ban usage of many worldwide-accepted English language Internet and information technology terms, particularly its controversial 2013 banishment of hashtag.
In 2014, Académie française issued a decree that French speakers must use a form of rechercher (to search) instead of google, which in turn generated the EU petition from the French Cultural Commission.
To Google or To Rechercher
The EU ruling will bring a commercial impact to the 2014 Académie française mandate. As part of its ruling, the European Commission granted provisional approved of a linguistic-appropriate, redesigned Google Search homepage proposed by the French Cultural Commission.
The current Google Search homepage for France.
The proposed, EU-approved Google Search homepage for France.
In an interview with government-owned television news network France 24, Tibor Navracsics, EU Commissioner for Culture, defended the ruling and swatted aside criticism that the EU harbors anti-American biases toward U.S. technology firms.
"What bias? What grudges? We don't understand why the Americans keep saying such things," the Hungarian executive said.
"It's seems pretty clear to us google is not a French word. In fact we couldn't decide if it's a true English word or not. We have responsibility to safeguard and protect European cultures and values. French companies have to use English terminology in the States, so it's all fair play."
Google has until June 2018 to appeal the EU ruling, which would go into effect in late 2018. The French national government has signaled the EU that it intends to enforce the ruling.

Hi! Sign in to let us know how The Window Store was?
Matt R. Jan 17 .
I am so happy that I decided to go with the Window Store. The crew as outstanding. The installation and work they did was very detailed and above par. They have a variety of window products that I was able to choose from that fit my needs and budget. Well done.
Shannon B. Dec 17 .
I bought a couple new windows to replace my old wood ones. I was impressed on how they explained the new energy efficient windows to me. The price was right where I could afford them. Overall, the service was great and I feel they took very good care of us.
Don D. Jun 10 .
The Window Store was a great company to work with for getting the new windows installed in our home. There was no hard sell and they were competitively priced. The windows are top quality and the installers are very professional and fun to deal with. They were very clean with no mess to clean up afterwords. We will have the remaining windows replaced very soon.
Rachel L. Mar 06 .
I am a repeat customer for a reason. The staff is always courteous and polite. I had my windows done last year, but this time, they did a new front door. They door I purchased helped in keppeing out the cold air, which is wonderfull this winter. I would give a recommedation to anyone for the service and products at The Window Store in Colorado Springs.
Johny E. Jan 17 .
The deck was designed and built with professionalism. The custom deck design really enhances my backyard and makes it so much more functional. I love the material they used, because I don't have to do any staining. The crew did a full clean up every day they were there, so my yard was not full of clutter. I am very pleased with the work and happy to tell my neighbors.
I love the new vinyl windows that The Window Store in Colorado Springs just installed on my home. I found that they have the best service for an in home estimate and installation team. The prices were within my budget, but most importantly, I received the best product on the market. The work was quick, yet thorough. In the end the house is clean and looks good.
Jamie W. Dec 10 .
The Window Store in Colorado Springs just installed new vinyl windows in my home. Not only do they look great, but over the weekend, I noticed that there was no cold air coming in at all. Mike and his service team were very professional and communicated with me on the progress every few days.
Reece R. Oct 25 .
Thank you Mike and the staff at the Window Store. I needed to get new widows for my home in Colorado Springs. Everyone was helpfull. Thank you for your all your help.
Hannah M. Oct 10 .
Thank you to The Window Store. Mike and his team really stepped up to the plate. I needed 10 new windows for my home. From the measurements to installation, the process only took 2 weeks.
Eddie P. May 23 .
If you work for Mike Messina of The Window Store in Colorado Springs, you will run the risk of him simply deciding NOT TO PAY YOU. I was contracted for marketing consulting in early 2012. He quickly fell to being late in payment, then finally refused to pay me for services rendered.
Not to mention what I've heard him say that should make you, as a potential customer, hesitant to use him for your home improvement needs.
If you've been to or used The Window Store, leave a review.


Cats, birds and other small mammals will still be available for adoption.

The Top 5 …
Radio Free Albemuth: Official Trailer
— by BEV QUESTAD —
Featuring Alanis Morissette, this sci-fi film is centered on a good-natured young man in the '80s who has a beautiful wife, a dedicated best friend, a job in the family record store and a seeming idyllic life. However, this is all disturbed one night when he wakes up to a vision of himself standing by the bed. His wife wakes, sees it too and is terrified. Their contrasting reactions set up a wider parallel. Some are curious and some are scared stiff. Some accept the call while others are too cowed to take a risk.
Writer/director/producer John Alan Simon consciously channeled the mind of prolific science-fiction writer Philip K. Dick to re-create this masterpiece novel as a suspenseful movie. The result is a film about what I'll call the power or catalyst for inner drive, the essence of our inspiration and motivation. Dick called this source VALIS, an acronym for Vast Active Living Intelligence System.
Philip K. Dick's VALIS trilogy (1981) technically didn't include the posthumously published first novel called "Radio Free Albemuth." This is sci-fi for the thinker and the autobiographical tome Simon decided to recreate with a faithful heart.
Like other Philip Dick spin-offs, "Minority Report" and "Blade Runner," there is a foreboding conspiracy. But unlike its predecessors, "Radio Free Albemuth" focuses less on violence and negativity and more on the invincibility of the human struggle, the immortal, transcending power of art and the surviving message of good in a corrupt society.
While Alanis Morisette may draw the curious in, you will notice in the trailer that it is the transfixing work of the three leads and their relationship with each other that grip the audience. While it is known that Nick Brady (Jonathan Scarfe) and his best friend Phil (Shea Whigham of HBO's "Boardwalk Empire") are manifestations of Philip Dick's own personality, I believe it's possible that Rachel (Katheryn Winnick), who is scared to death of her husband's aberrance, represents his more self-critical side.
Intellectually exciting, John Alan Simon has created a fascinating film as true as possible to PKD's novel. While it may be an autobiographical play on Dick's life, it will resonate with a thoughtful audience about the essence of man and the purpose of the universe.
A must-see movie, Radio Free Albemuth is available on all digital platforms during its theatrical run — including iTunes, Amazon, Time Warner OnDemand and for unlimited streaming on Yerka.

Q: React Native Inverted Flatlist does not render absolute elements correctly Inverted Flatlist that contains absolute positioned elements doesn't seem to allow the absolute positioned elements to overlay previous components / items. Instead, they're forced underneath the previous component. I would like for the absolute positioned elements to render on top of the previous components.
Reproducible code samples:
List Container:
const MessageList = () => {
  const messages = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
  const renderItem = ({ item, index }) => {
    return (
      <Message isLast={index === 0} />
    )
  }

  return (
    <FlatList
      data={messages}
      inverted
      style={{ flex: 1, paddingHorizontal: 16, paddingBottom: 16 }}
      renderItem={renderItem}
      ItemSeparatorComponent={() => <View style={{ marginVertical: 6 }} />}
    />
  )
}

export default MessageList

Message:
const Message = ({ ... }) => {
  return (
    <View>
      <Text style={{ backgroundColor: 'green', padding: 20 }}>Message here</Text>
      {
        isLast
          ? (
              <View style={{ backgroundColor: 'orange', position: 'absolute', bottom: 40, left: 0, right: 0, top: -20, zIndex: 20 }}>
                <Text>Absolute Positioned</Text>
              </View>

            )
          : null
      }
    </View>
  )
}

Result attached as image:
Incorrectly overlayed element

A: Old Answer:
You have to change the z-index of the containing <View> element, not the child one. You also need to set the containing element to have position: relative so that z-index will work.
New Answer:
Okay, I made a code sandbox at https://codesandbox.io/s/frosty-lederberg-4wlw8p?file=/src/App.js and figured out that the FlatList is creating a wrapper around each individual list item, so you need to affect the style of those wrappers. This is the code I changed:
  return (
    <div className={"my-container"} style={{ overflow: "scroll" }}>
      <FlatList

        style={{ flex: 1, paddingHorizontal: 16, paddingBottom: 16 }}
        renderItem={renderItem}
        ItemSeparatorComponent={() => <View style={{ marginVertical: 6 }} />}
      />
    </div>
  );

and you'll need this css
  .my-container > * > * > *:first-child {
    z-index: 20;
  }

Final result:

A: I was able to solve this by making use of the CellRendererComponent prop. I was left with the following:
const MessageList = () => {
  const messages = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
  const renderItem = ({ item, index }) => {
    return (
      <Message isLast={index === 0} />
    )
  }

  const renderCell = (props, index) => {
    return (
      <View style={[props.style, { zIndex: messages.length - props.index }]}>
        {props.children}
      </View>
    )
  }

  return (
    <FlatList
      data={messages}
      inverted
      style={{ flex: 1, paddingHorizontal: 16, paddingBottom: 16 }}
      renderItem={renderItem}
      ItemSeparatorComponent={() => <View style={{ marginVertical: 6 }} />}
      CellRendererComponent={renderCell}
    />
  )
}

which resulted in the following image:

Adapting terminology from linguistics, we can say that 'telic' activities – from 'telos', the Greek word for purpose – are ones that aim at terminal states of completion and exhaustion. You teach a class, get married, start a family, earn a raise. Not all activities are like this, however. Others are 'atelic': there is no point of termination at which they aim, or final state in which they have been achieved and there is no more to do. Think of listening to music, parenting, or spending time with friends. They are things you can stop doing, but you cannot finish or complete them. Their temporality is not that of a project with an ultimate goal, but of a limitless process.
Midlife: A Philosophical Guide by Kieran Setiya is out now through Princeton University Press.


Let's look at some of the players in Superettan!
Compared with Allsvenskan there are more players in the top over performing. Fredrik Olssons 7 goals more than expected makes a big contribution to J-Södras great season. Jamie Hopcutts number is also really impressive, doing it from less minutes played as well.

Turkey: Securing Stability in a Rough Neighborhood
By: Richard H.K. Vietor and Emily Thompson
After suffering years of volatility and crises, Turkey desperately sought macroeconomic and political stability in an ever-worsening region of the world. In the short term, Turkey had to repay its debt, which amounted to more than 80% of GDP. By January 2004, Turkey had entered the final stages of the IMF's latest $17 billion loan program. Each review required that Turkey meet specific goals of monetary control (e.g., reducing inflation), restructuring the banking sector, reforming the public sector, and increasing privatization. The country's long-term goal, joining the European Union, would be reached only if the EU's required criteria were met. Elected in November 2002 and the first absolute majority in Parliament in 15 years, the AKP party promised to meet both IMF and EU requirements. Although his AKP party had Islamic roots, Prime Minister Erdogan planned to prove that Turkey was a stable, secular democracy. After Turkey met the EU's requirements, the question remained: Would the EU's "Christian club" accept a Muslim Turkey?

The steak is marinated in worcestershire sauce and steak seasoning for about a 1/2 hour, then pan fried on medium high for a couple minutes on each side, for medium rare.
The chard was simply chopped and sauteed on medium until wilted, seasoned with salt and pepper and then spritzed with with balsamic vinegar.
From Costco, simple bake on 400 for 20 minutes. Yum.
The best snack, ever. Stretchy, flaky, buttery.
Since they took the jalapeno poppers off the menu, these are the only good snack left at Norton's. But, they have dice, and table service, so it doesn't matter too much.
The mahkni was better this time, getting back to normal. The saag was good, but the paneer was firmer and squeakier than usual.
A nice change to lettuce based salads, but using the same dressing.
Mix all ingredients and pour the dressing over it. Stir to coat.
A tasty, thick soup with a cheesy kick.
Sautee the onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil until beginning to brown. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Add the brocolli, cover and simmer until fork-tender, and still bright green. Turn off heat and puree with immersion blender. Add cheese and stir until smooth.
A quick and flavorful chicken dish made with homemade pesto that was made weeks ago and frozen.
Sautee chicken until brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and add pesto. Stir to coat. Place on a serving dish and sprinkle with grated parmasean.
Mmm. It's finally strawberry season, and you remember what a real strawberry tastes like (and wonder why you eat strawberries the rest of the year).
1 cup of heavy cream, 2 tb brandy, 1 ts vanilla, 1 packet of Splenda, whipped.
This held up better than leftover shrimp usually do.
We ended up getting a last minute free screening to a movie that let out around 9:30pm. Since we didn't want to wait another hour and a 1/2 for Alexis to go home and cook, we were tasked with finding someplace open in the financial district on a Wednesday night. We found Rubicon, a place we certainly know of, yet had never been to. We were very pleasantly surprised. The food was inspired and interesting, yet not gimicky. The chef used ingredients in unexpected ways, with great results. Everything was tasty. And the service was excellent as well. We were seated immediately with no reservation near the end of the night. Not only did the chef send out a course for us on the house, he also came out to speak with us (and he appeared to be making the rounds, speaking with everyone).
Essentially and olive mini-muffin with a goat cheese mousse, sprinkled with salt and pepper. The mousse was amazing--airy, smooth, tangy. The flavor of olive bread sort of got lost in the goat cheese and salt though. However, it did what an amuse should do, and that's to awaken the palate.
Instead of being a flat egg, fried in a pan, this egg had the shape of a poached egg, which I would assume was because it had either been deep-fried. Anyway, it was tasty. The dish was also chock full of whole morels, which was a pleasant surprise. This was a solid dish.
When we saw geoduck on the menu we just had to order it because we've never seen it at a non-Chinese restaurant. We were excited to taste it in a different style. This dish was interesting for sure, but we didn't love it. Giao didn't like the olives, Alexis didn't like the pinenuts (although we like these ingredients, in general), but both agreed that the mint really brought the dish together.
This was really, really good. The fish was fresh, the addition of a grain (quinoa, the "it" ingredient these days), was refreshing. Amazingly, the dill did not overpower this dish.
You rarely every see the use of fresh mushrooms, uncooked, but these firm, thin slices paired perfectly with the soft foie gras. The halved blueberries added visual interest and also provided the subtle sweetness that foie gras begs for.
A surprisingly large portion of succulent, juicy poultry. This guinea hen was paired with a ragout of sweetbreads, bacon and more whole morels. We rarely ever order poultry in restaurants for some reason, but this time we were very glad we broke tradition.
The duck was juicy and tasty, and the very thin (and it seemed poached) orange peel added a great flavor with surprisingly little bitterness. We weren't quite sure if the seared foie gras was blackened on purpose, but it was good just the same.
This was the best deal for a cheese plate that we've seen in a while. There was at least an ounce, maybe 2, of 5 cheeses we hadn't had before. All were interesting, and delicious, even if we can't remember their names.
A very pleasant send-off, the shortbread was crumbly and flavorful, and the rosemary stoof up quite well to the bitter tones of the cocoa.
Decent, but it was cold by the time Alexis ate it.
Giao always gets 2 and shoves all the meat into one bun, and then doesn't eat the bun anyway.
We froze these quiche a few weeks ago, and they reheated nicely. The salmon salad is prepared in the same manner as tuna salad. Click above for the recipes for each.
A favorite, super-easy, weeknight meal. And very healthy, made with very little added fat.
Sautee the onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil, the soy sauce and the chili sauce. When onions begin to soften, add the noodles and stir to coat. Then add the broth and the rest of the sauces and simmer, covered for 20 mintutes or so. Add the shrimp and brocolli and cook until both are tender, just a couple of minutes.
On our way back from Santa Cruz we met some friends for dinner at a Singaporean/Malaysian place. We can never resist and opportunity too try a new version of roti prata.
Very tasty--earthy, spicy. This curry was the most like the roti prata curries we found in Singapore.
A bit to thin and with a touch of sweetness we were not particularly fond of.
Not as good as it was expensive. The sauce was nice and spicy with a sweet tang from the tamarind. The long beans and eggplant were tasty, but the okra was a bit slimy, as okra tends to be.
We were warned that this would be really spicy, but it was hardly spicy at all. The egg in the sauce was a bit strange, but not in a bad way.
After walking around on the boardwalk for a while and spending some time on the beach, we passed a Mexican place advertising "Menudu Today". Giao simply couldn't resist.
Very tasty broth. Full of tripe, but not much else. The raw onions were a nice addition.
We decided to go to Linda's Seabreeze Cafe for brunch, a place we'd read about and seemed to have a bit of hype surounding it. We arrived with high hopes at around 12:30pm on a Memorial Day to a very large waiting list, abour 45 minutes long, and dozens of people milling about outside, waiting for a table and drinking coffee. When we finally sat down to eat, however, we were sorely disappointed. The food was mediocre at best, certainly not worth the wait. Quite frankly, we can't see why this place has regulars at all.
Bland. Alexis had to slather it in salsa to get it down.
Chewy, poor quality steak. Decent eggs, but really, how can you screw that up?
We got a recommendation for this place from the front desk of our hotel and after doing a full circle of the tiny Capitola downtown, it looked like our best shot at a decent meal. The food was decent, but it was pretty darn expensive for what it was. Also, the service left something to be desired. Our drinks took forever. They brought the wrong side for Giao and instead of simply bringing a new side, they removed his place and replaced the side, leaving Alexis with her plate getting cold at the table waiting for Giao's to return, no doubt cooling down on the way. The final straw was that Giao asked how much the addition of a lobster tail would be to his plate and the waitress didn't know, then quoted what she thought was the price and said she'd go double check. She never came back with a different price, so we though it would be what she quoted. When we got the bill, it was 30% more than she had quoted--a price Giao certainly would not have paid had he known beforehand.
The steak was decent. The sauce could have had a bit more horseradish and a bit less cream. The corn tasted like it came from a can. The creamed spinach was ok, but Alexis makes it better.
The filet was tender, and the lobster tail pretty delicious, but the creamed spinach and mac n' cheese were nothing special.
We drove to Aptos, right outside Santa Cruz, to participate in a beach Bocce Ball tournament and BBQ.
Costco style. The fruit was very tasty.
Also Costco style. Can't go wrong with fresh veggies.
Pesto was oddly bland. Salad was salad.
Giao loves to grill and spent some quality time at this one. The huge burgers were quite good, although they took a while to cook. The chicken sausages were so-so.
Mmm. Nothing's better than a big, fat burger, cooked on the grill.
The eggs were good, but the salad didn't hold up so well.

Want Better Data Center Efficiency? Pay Attention To Power Quality Then!
You will find that quite a lot of energy is utilized in data centers as they are designed for satisfying requirements for performance, capacity, and reliability. Unfortunately, this is often at the expense of efficiency and this rolls into operational expenses which in turn causes capital costs to increase. When this occurs, there is a good chance your business will end up outgrowing its data center, so maximum data center efficiency should be on your radar as you move forward as a business.
Don't forget too that any interruption to your daily business operations can cost you financially, so that is why almost all data centers are designed to reduce risks of losing power with intricate systems in place. Power quality issues are difficult to analyze and solve, and can cost businesses lots of money. In fact, a research group study estimated that power outages were related to costs of $13.5 billion per year, with 50 percent due to power quality issues. That is why power quality should always be a key consideration for your operations.
Over the last 30 years, we have gained a greater understanding of power quality problems and today's technicians are able to analyze and overcome issues easier with the knock-on effect being increased data center efficiency.
With the development of cutting edge technology, electrical engineers can employ power-monitoring tools to ensure power quality problems can be addressed immediately, so there is no interruption to your business, both productively and financially.
Power-monitoring software allows you to have a complete overview of your electrical infrastructure while the monitoring of weekly or daily power usage information will help alleviate any potential issues that can be foreseen. Using such software programs can help a business to understand any power anomalies and how the equipment is performing, so early diagnosis can be carried out to ensure your business runs continuously and efficiently.
Another way of mitigating power quality issues is to have an on-site audit by an expert. As power quality is an area of expertise, sometimes it's hard to free up time for your staff to undertake investigations into the causes with an education program needing to be implemented to empower them with this knowledge. That's why outsourcing on-site audits can be a viable solution.
It is evident that businesses need to address any power quality issues they may have as the outcomes may involve improving your equipment's lifespan as well as the quality of its service. Remember that there are cost-effective solutions to many data center power quality issues, and it will ensure that your business runs smoothly and profitably into the future. Of course, the first step to take is to have a proactive mindset!


Li Haotong battled to a front nine of 35 to take a one-shot lead into the closing stages of the Turkish Airlines Open at Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort.
The Chinese fired a wonderful 63 on day three but had just a single bogey to show for his effort on Sunday as he slipped to 16 under, one shot clear of defending champion Justin Rose.
Major Champions Martin Kaymer and Danny Willett were then at 13 under alongside Adrian Otaegui and Matthias Schwab as the sixth Rolex Series event of the season was set for a tense finish.
Li is looking to become the first Asian player to win a Rolex Series title while Rose - who would return to Number One in the Official World Golf Ranking with a win - was aiming to be the first man to successfully defend one.
The 23 year old hit his first green in regulation on the fourth and got down in two, and his lead stayed at two through six holes with Rose failing to pick up a shot.
The 2013 US Open champion hit the green in two at the par-five seventh to make a birdie as Li made a remarkable par after finding trees, then rough, then sand and getting up and down.
Willett holed a 12-footer on the first but failed to get up and down on the second, with six pars following before the Englishman hit a stunning third into the ninth.
Austrian Schwab made a birdie-birdie start but gave the shot back on the third before birdieing the eighth to turn in 32.
An eagle from the back fringe at the par-five 12th then catapulted him to 12 under and an excellent approach to the next put him in a share of third.
Kaymer birdied the first and third but then made seven pars before back-to-back gains on the 11th and 12th moved the German to 13 under.
Spaniard Otaegui then made that a four-man group as he turned in 31 with birdies on the second, seventh and ninth - courtesy of a beautiful approach - before holing from ten feet at the 13th.
Dane Thorbjørn Olesen dropped a shot on the first but birdied the second from ten feet before making another bogey on the next to sit alone at 12 under.
Ireland's Paul Dunne, Englishmen Tommy Fleetwood and Sam Horsfield, Spaniard Pablo Larrazábal and Frenchman Alexander Levy were 11 under.

Bitter Lake - Native grasses, sand dunes, brushy bottomlands, seven lakes, and a red-rimmed plateau make up Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge, winter home for thousands of migratory birds. The lakes on the refuge were formed within the ancient river beds of the Pecos River. These lakes store about 1,000 acres of water at their highest levels; while nearby marshland, mudflats, and the Pecos River provide an additional 24,500 acres of habitat. The refuge's namesake is a shallow playa lake, fed by small springs, that often goes dry during the summer, leaving only a white alkaline lake bed. The water from the springs is brackish and too bitter to drink, but is a favored roosting site for cranes and waterfowl.

Mike Mettler
Mike Mettler was born in 1967 a month or so after the Summer of Love, and he's been playing catch-up ever since. He started his pro rock-writing career as an intern at High Fidelity in New York in 1988 and joined the staff fulltime in 1989 while still in college. After HF was bought and folded by Stereo Review later that summer, he joined sister publication Car Stereo Review as Managing Editor and began incorporating music coverage into the magazine, finding fairly quickly that musicians were VERY interested in talking about what they drove and what they listened to while they were on the open road. To fuel his voracious appetite for learning about (and sharing) the history of rock and roll, he also chatted up artists for Musician, Guitar Player, Guitar for the Practicing Musician, Guitar, Guitar Shop, Bass Player, Bassics, Masters of Rock, and a score of other gear mags when spare time was an option. He funneled his Jimi Hendrix obsession into "USoterica," a regular column he still writes for UniVibes, a Hendrix quarterly that's published in Italy.
In 2000, after 4 years as Editor-In-Chief, Mike renamed Car Stereo Review as Mobile Entertainment to better serve the advancements in car-audio and video technology. ME carried on until the close of 2005, when it spent its final year dubbed Road & Track's Road Gear. Mike assumed the position of Editor-In-Chief at Sound & Vision at the end of January 2006, an interesting case of career symmetry since S&V was known as Stereo Review until 1999, the year he became a Contributing Editor.
These days, Mike tries to balance the dichotomy of his passion for both sweet-sounding vinyl and head-spinning surround-sound music mixes. His ever-understanding wife Krista, an independent music publicist, is generous enough to allow him an entire room upstairs in the house to cultivate his rock magazine and book library and another room in the basement to harvest his ever-expanding LP, CD, DVD, and Blu-ray Disc collection.
