NCIS: New Orleans 5.12 - "Desperate Navy Wives"
members is contacted by an ex-boyfriend on the FBI Most Wanted List.
let's see if the "Dwayne pride show" continues or not.
the team worked together (with pride as the leader again - hannah had some time off), it was a good case and gregorio undercover was awesome.
no triple P in this ep though and just a short appearance by loretta, but at least it felt like they are going in the right direction again.
pride and lasalle trying to arrest the murderer in the motelroom was one of the most stupid attempts I've ever seen. who writes something like this?
but all in all I am very satisfied with this episode.
the same writers who seem to think Pride must do everything?
Just got around to watching this episode earlier. Thought it was a great episode.
It was nice seeing the team working together and it was not the Pride show we usually get.
Love that Sebastian was paired with Gregorio on this and also that she is moving in with him! They have such a great friendship.
Right? I could not believe they wrote it that way. At least wait for the guy to get in the room before yelling that he is under arrest. So stupid.
Poor Gregorio getting evicted . Love hate relationship going on between her & Sebastian?
LaSalle: "I'm trying to work out why you're suddenly juggling two jobs..." - yeah that's the questions the fans would like to understand too writers . Why couldn't LaSalle take over while Hannah took some time to be with her family?
These episodes are so hit & miss.

New Acre Project
ALUS making waves in the Lake Winnipeg Basin
Thanks to funding from the Lake Winnipeg Basin Program, ALUS is putting beneficial projects on the ground and bringing the community out to see them.
During the 2019 Little Saskatchewan River Conservation District Tour, ALUS LSR Program Coordinator Colleen Cuvelier spoke about the important work ALUS farmers and ranchers are doing to produce cleaner water and other ecosystem services. (Photo: Cindy Murray)
In 2019, the Government of Canada's Lake Winnipeg Basin Program (LWBP) announced nearly $140,000 in funding to ALUS Canada for important natural infrastructure work in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Not long after that, the ALUS Little Saskatchewan River (ALUS LSR) program organized a bus tour of projects in their conservation district to showcase examples of projects having a positive impact on the environment.
The July tour, which was funded by ALUS Canada and its Lake Winnipeg Basin Program funding, in addition to support by the Little Saskatchewan River Conservation District, built awareness of the types of programming available to farmers and ranchers in the area.
It was a beautiful summer day and, as the tour bus shuttled them from one site to the next, 22 attendees were able to take in beautiful Prairie scenery with bright yellow canola and purple alfalfa stretching across the landscape, en route from Rapid City, Manitoba, to the family farm of ALUS PAC member Dennis Pedersen.
Located near Newdale, Manitoba, the Pedersen farm was founded in 1881. Dennis' son Kevin, who is also an ALUS participant, represents the fifth generation of their family to farm the same piece of land (see 2015 video here).
Both Dennis and Kevin Pedersen enrolled in ALUS to improve parts of their land that were hard to access and prone to frequent flooding during extreme rainfall or snow melt.
ALUS LSR Program Coordinator Colleen Cuvelier introduced ALUS LSR participant & PAC member Dennis Pedersen to present specific details about his ALUS project and the importance of maintaining grass buffers along waterways. (Photo: Cindy Murray)
The soil in these areas was not ideally suited for agriculture, due to high salinity and poor crop yields: they could instead serve as a buffer zone between more productive cropland and low-lying creeks and wetlands.
ALUS helped Dennis Pedersen create riparian buffer zones featuring perennial, deep-rooted grasses, which are able to capture and filter excess nutrients during floods. Without these projects in place, water would flow off farmed fields into wetlands and creeks, carrying with it various farm inputs, such as fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, as well as some of the topsoil.
ALUS riparian buffers serve to disrupt this process: A thick band of carefully selected plants help capture pollutants before they can enter the stream, allowing runoff water to re-absorb into the soil instead.
This improves water quality for all: not only on the Pedersen farm, but also for neighbouring communities in the watershed.
During the site visit, Pedersen and ALUS Coordinator Colleen Cuvelier presented specific details about his ALUS project, which is being established over two years. Year one (in 2019) involved mowing and site preparation; year two (in 2020) will involve seeding the area.
During the 2019 tour, guests could already see a clear contrast between the chaotic natural growth, buzzing loudly with pollinators, and the adjacent neat monoculture on the Pedersen farm.
"Ecosystem Services Produced Here" says the ALUS sign standing in front of ALUS LSR participant Dennis Pedersen's project, a riparian buffer zone where the resiliency and beautiful chaos of nature is demonstrated by naturally regenerating plants, soon to be joined by deep-rooted perennial plants seeded through ALUS. (Photo: Cindy Murray)
Establishing an ALUS project would normally include trying to eliminate the unwanted weedy species, but the Pedersen project already features naturally regenerating forage grasses and forbs that are thriving in this rich riparian area.
Pedersen is one of 21 ALUS participants in the Prairies who will benefit from ALUS Canada's LWBP funding. In total, this grant will help ALUS establish more than 825 acres (334 hectares) of new ALUS projects in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
This means enhancing wetlands, seeding buffer strips alongside lakes and creeks to filter surface water before it flows into these waterways, and establishing offsite watering systems and wildlife-friendly fencing to prevent livestock from damaging these enhanced wetland ecosystems.
All these ALUS projects will help improve water quality while also producing critical wildlife habitat and mitigating flood and drought risks for communities downstream, as part of a full suite of benefits known as ecosystem services.
"One of the best ways to improve water quality downstream is by restoring and enhancing wetlands upstream," said Paige Englot, ALUS Canada's Prairie Hub Manager. "The ALUS program empowers farmers and ranchers to be positive change-makers on the Prairie landscape."
The July 2019 Little Saskatchewan River Conservation District Tour was funded by ALUS Canada, through its Lake Winnipeg Basin Program funding, in addition to support by the conservation district.

ALUS LSR program coordinator Colleen Cuvelier hosted the tour, assisted by PAC members Ray Frey (Chair) and Cindy Murray, who took the photos showcased here.
Please note that the ALUS Little Saskatchewan River program will soon become known as the ALUS Assiniboine West program. It is a partnership between ALUS Canada and the Assiniboine West Watershed District, previously known as the Little Saskatchewan River Conservation District . Learn more about this program here.

The bassist for Van Halen may not have received as much media coverage as his fellow bandmates, but Michael Anthony's enduring stamp on Van Halen's sound cannot be denied. Aside from Eddie and Alex, Michael Anthony is the only other bandmate to appear on all Van Halen studio albums. But how did this humble bassist and backup vocalist find himself among some of the most prolific artists of all time? We've got the rundown for ya!
Born on June 20, 1954, in Chicago, young Michael entered the world of music as a trumpet player. When his family moved to California, he was soon introduced to the world of rock 'n' roll. Bands like Blue Cheer and Cream inspired him to put down the trumpet and pick up electric bass. While attending Pasadena City College, he met future bandmate Eddie Van Halen. At the time, Michael was the bassist and lead vocalist for Snake, while Eddie and his brother Alex were involved in a group called Mammoth. When Mammoth needed a new bass player, Michael answered the call. With the addition of David Lee Roth on vocals, Van Halen was born!
The quartet spent a short time playing on the Sunset strip before Warner Bros. offered them a record deal, catapulting them to the top of the hard rock scene. Anthony's subdued bass lines and vocal harmonies laid the foundation for the more extravagant and flashy performing from the other members of the band. When David Lee Roth left Van Halen in 1985, he was replaced with our good pal, Sammy Hagar! Sammy and Mikey must've really hit things off, because even as their involvement in Van Halen diminished, the two would continue to collaborate together. They've played in several other bands together, including Los Tres Gusanos (The Three Worms), supergroup Chickenfoot, and now their latest venture, The Circle!
The bassist has had his fingers in a lot of different pies throughout his career, so we've collected some of our personal Michael Anthony favorites!
Be sure to catch the PREMIERE of Rock & Roll Road Trip with Sammy Hagar Presented By Mercury Insurance on January 24th at 9/8c, only on AXS TV!


Today was busy, busy, busy. AJ came over early. We all took the boys to school. We came home and got everything ready for our MOPS Halloween party which was hosted by my neighbor Jenny and I. Emma and Parker got all dressed up, Belle and Buzz Lightyear today. We went over to Jenny's for a little bit, had snacks, played with friends, and talked. Then we walked over to our house and made a craft project- a pumpkin man. All the boys loved playing with all Parker's cars. We had a great morning! We had to leave the party a little early to pick Cooper up. We played, colored and ate lunch. Then we had to go get Carson from school. Both boys had fun days. After Josh got home and AJ went home we headed out to the Pumpkin Patch. All the kids had a super fun time there! We got pizza on the way home, ate, and finished up homework. It was a fun-filled day! And now, it is almost 9:00. Josh is already in bed and I'm headed there now!

The mind can think and doubt and question and accept and withdraw its acceptance, make formations and unmake them, pass decisions and revoke them, judging always on the surface and by surface indications and therefore never coming to any deep and firm experience of Truth, but by itself it can do no more. There are only three ways by which it can make itself a channel or instrument of Truth. Either it must fall silent in the Self and give room for wider and greater consciousness; or it must make itself passive to an inner Light and allow that Light to use it as a means of expression; or else, it must itself change from the questioning intellectual superficial mind it now is to an intuitive intelligence, a mind vision fit for the direct perception of the divine Truth.

100 Best Movies of All Time Review: 'McCabe and Mrs. Miller'
Entertainment Movies Reviews
By Leon / January 3, 2020
The Western genre used to be the most beloved by audiences in Hollywood, and fans came to expect certain things in their Westerns, like desert towns with nice and neat store fronts, cowboys with their shirts tucked in divided into good and bad by the colors of their hats, gun duels in the street, and high-speed horse chases. But they get none of that in this film.
By the time 1971 rolled around, the heyday of Western films had ended, and many who remembered the old dime-a-dozen flicks probably wouldn't have even considered 'McCabe and Mrs. Miller' a true Western, but it's really just as true as you can get. It's definitely Robert Altman's best work, and one of the few films he ever made where he did not use a large, star-studded cast. In this film, he manages to keep the focus on two main characters, portrayed to perfection by Warren Beatty and Julie Christie. The Western town they inhabit isn't in the hot, dusty desert, but rather high in the mountains where much of the film takes place during a cold, damp winter. The story still has a bit of the old Western flare to it, however, with men clashing over ownership of a bit of land and bullies being sent down after the owner who doesn't want to give it up.
But it's not the basic storyline that makes this film great; it's all of the details. The prostitutes inhabiting the half-finished whorehouse look nothing like the shapely saloon girls that most Westerns portray, all made up and wearing colorful corset tops. These girls come in all shapes in sizes, with unkempt hair that shows how they spend most of their nights and faces that are probably as close to what the real thing was like as you can get. Even Julie Christie, who plays the madam, doesn't wear makeup or do anything to tame her frizzy mane, and she's not too proud to turn a trick herself, for a much higher price, of course.
The town itself is imperfect. Things are being used that aren't quite finished; everything is dirty; and lumber is scattered about the streets. It makes a great setting for the characters that inhabit it, however, like that of Warren Beatty, a lucky man who gains a position of power. Instead of a cowboy hat and duster coat, he sports a big furry bearskin and bowler hat, likes to brag, and may or may not be a great gunman.
So if you want to see a real Western, you must see this film. It may not be the West that Hollywood dreamed of years before, but it's the only film I've ever seen made that actually tries to get it right.
You can find this immortal classic on 123movies along with so many other masterpieces of different genres that recent movies and actors pale in comparison to their older counterparts.

An Urbana, Ill., man reported missing Tuesday in the Longs Peak area of Rocky Mountain National Park got lost in the same area about four years ago.
Park officials stated in a news release that Jens "Jay" Yambert, 60, of Urbana, Ill., was reported overdue by a family member Tuesday night. Yambert is believed to have started from the Longs Peak Trailhead about 2 p.m. Sunday.
A park spokeswoman confirmed Thursday that Yambert, who at the time lived in Champaign, Ill., was lost on the mountain in July 2014.
A news release at the time stated that Yambert, then 56, was reported missing by his family after being overdue after calling them the day before to say he would be late getting back to the trailhead. He had planned to summit Longs Peak on the east side via The Loft.
A search and rescue team set out looking for Yambert, who contacted his family about three hours later to say that he was uninjured but because of bad weather and nightfall, he spent an unexpected night on Longs Peak.
The news release said that on the day of the search, there was heavy fog, which caused Yambert to get lost and believe he might have been on Mt. Meeker.
A helicopter rescue crew spotted Yambert, who had been attempting to summit Longs Peak, near Peakcock Pool in the Roaring Fork drainage area. Rangers reached Yambert about 15 minutes later and gave him food and water but he declined a helicopter evacuation and medical evaluation and hiked down on his own with rangers.
On Thursday, visitors at the park reported seeing Yambert on Monday morning near the Keyhole Route and reported that weather conditions were poor and included ice, sleet, rain and strong winds.
A search and rescue team searched for Yambert on Thursday in a variety of areas, including the Keyhole Route, Keplinger's Couloir, The Loft, Chasm Lake and the Roaring Fork area.
The search team did not have the use of a helicopter as they did on Wednesday, when they searched for Yambert in the Longs Peak area including Clark's Arrow, the Boulder Field, North Face, Lamb's Slide and Peacock Pool.
Yambert was possibly wearing a black raincoat, khaki pants and hat, sandals and a blue-and-gray backback. He might have been using trekking poles.
Outside Magazine listed Longs Peak as one of the world's 20 most dangerous hikes in 2014, along with Maroon Bells, two 14,000 foot high peaks on the border between Pitkin County and Gunnison County. An RMNP official said at the time that Longs Peak is really more of a climb than a hike.
Park rangers would like to hear from anyone who has been in the Longs Peak or Mount Meeker area since Sunday, particularly on the Keyhole Route, Keplinger's Couloir, The Loft, Chasm Lake, Clark's Arrow and the Roaring Fork area.
Anyone who might have seen abandoned gear or who has any information is asked to call 970-586-1204.

Retaliation Firings, a Breakfront China Cabinet and a Bootleg Christian Charity: What's Going On at Ben Carson's Department of Housing and Urban Development?

What Ben Carson Ain't Going to Do
Photo: Justin Sullivan (Getty Images)
First it was reported that Ben Carson, secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and his wife, Candy, were out here balling without a budget, buying some $31,000 of dining room furniture that included a breakfront china cabinet—because nothing says old bougie blackness like a breakfront china cabinet.
Initially, Carson denied knowing about the purchase. Then, after emails were discovered indicating that he and his wife were fully aware that his office wasn't going the Ikea route that his budget allowed, he started moonwalking those claims.
On Tuesday, Carson defended the purchase during a congressional hearing, claiming that old furniture wasn't baller enough.
"Bitch!" Carson yelled out. "Don't you know I have a portrait of me and black wavy-haired Jesus hanging in my house? Did you really think we were going to stick to that $5,000 budget?!" Carson then smacked five with another black man who could've been Raffi Williams, since he works as a spokesperson for the department and could be heard mumbling, "They got Ben Carson all the way fucked up."
Fine, whatever—Ben Carson didn't cuss anyone out or refer to himself in the third person, but doesn't that feel like a Ben Carson thing to do? Wouldn't it be amazing if Ben Carson started every sentence with, "What Ben Carson ain't going to do ... "
Whatever, y'all aren't any fun. Back to the news.
Carson did appear in front of a congressional committee, and he did defend the purchase, noting that the old HUD furniture was raggedy and falling apart. If this wasn't enough, The Guardian reports that a senior official at HUD was forced to step down after links were found to another HUD employee who was repeatedly sued for fraud and reportedly lied on his résumé.
On Tuesday, Johnson Joy, HUD chief information officer, offered his resignation, which Carson accepted after The Guardian exposed that Joy and Naved Jafry, a senior adviser to Joy at HUD who also resigned, were running a bootleg Christian not-for-profit in Texas whose website accepted donations even though it was unclear if they actually did anything. Shortly after The Guardian's inquires, the website was locked to the public.
And it gets worse: Joy's resignation comes on the heels of another Guardian report claiming that a former executive assistant who blew the whistle on improper use of HUD spending in Joy's office was fired in retaliation.
Katrina Hubbard told The Guardian that after she raised concerns about the department's spending of public funds, she was reassigned and then fired.
"I reported information about fraud, waste and abuse, and as a result I was retaliated against," Hubbard told The Guardian. According to The Guardian:
Hubbard's case is being investigated by the office of special counsel (OSC), which oversees federal workers' employment rights. Last month the Guardian revealed that the OSC was investigating a complaint from Helen Foster, a senior HUD official, who said she was demoted for refusing to break a legal spending cap on improvements to Carson's office.
The OSC and Raffi Williams, a HUD spokesman, did not respond to The Guardian's requests for comment. The complaint follows rumors that Donald Trump is considering removing Carson after a series of embarrassments, including the $31,000 dining set, which included a baller breakfront china cabinet.
I haven't looked at Vegas lines, but a safe bet would be that Carson is next up to be fired on the White House special edition of Celebrity Apprentice.

Cannes Film Festival names Alejandro González Iñárritu 2019 jury president
By Melanie Goodfellow2019-02-27T04:57:00+00:00
Source: Bart Michiels/Wiki Commons
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu has been named jury president for the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, set to run from May 14-25 this year.
"Cannes is a festival that has been important to me since the beginning of my career. I am humbled and thrilled to return this year with the immense honor of presiding over the jury," said Iñárritu.
"Cinema runs through the veins of the planet and this festival has been its heart. We on the jury will have the privilege to witness the new and excellent work of fellow filmmakers from all over the planet. This is a true delight and a responsibility, that we will assume with passion and devotion."
Iñárritu first came to Cannes in 2000 with his debut feature Amores Perros which premiered in the parallel section, Cannes Critics' Week. It won the grand prize and went on to earn best foreign-language film nominations at both the Golden Globes and Oscars in 2001.
He returned to the Croisette to compete in Official Selection in 2006 with Babel, for which he won best director, and in 2010 with Biutiful.
In 2017, Iñárritu became the first filmmaker to showcase a virtual reality project in Official Selection with his innovative installation Carne y Arena (Virtually Present, Physically Invisible), a joint work with cinematographer and long-time collaborator Emmanuel Lubezki exploring the global refugee crisis.
Iñárritu won Academy Awards for best director for The Revenant in 2016 and best film, director and original screenplay for Birdman in 2015. He also received a special achievement award from the academy for Carne y Arena in 2018.
Cannes Film Festival president Pierre Lescure and general delegate Thierry Frémaux said they were delighted Iñárritu had accepted their invitation.
"It is very rare for Alejandro G. Iñárritu to agree to take part in a jury, and this is the first time that the Festival de Cannes Jury is to be chaired by a Mexican artist. Cannes embraces all types of cinema, and through the presence of Babel's director, it is Mexican cinema that the festival will be celebrating."
"Not only is he a daring filmmaker and a director who is full of surprises, Alejandro is also a man of conviction, an artist of his time. We are always happy to welcome him on the Croisette and, in 2017, have been particularly proud to present Carne y Arena (Virtually Present, Physically Invisible) into the Official Selection, a virtual reality installation that addressed the question of migrants with great strength and humanity."
Cate Blanchett was jury president of the 71st edition of Cannes when the Palme d'Or went to Shoplifters by Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda.

As the economy forces Americans to tighten our budgets, we've had to become creative in cutting corners on our purchases. Premium cable gets downgraded to basic cable, gas guzzling SUV's get traded in for more eco-friendly models, and so on.
One of the biggest and easiest bills to trim is our grocery bills. We opt for a generic formula instead of the more expensive brand name, or we eliminate pricy organic fruits and vegetables in exchange for buying regular produce in bulk.
For many of us, trying anything new or different can be risky. During these tough times, no one has the money to waste on a product that doesn't live up to the hype or a service that doesn't deliver on what it promises.
But, it's human nature to want to try new things. We see commercials and magazine advertisements and it's only natural to be tempted by new products and services. And, until recently, there really wasn't a way you could try them risk-free, without having to make a purchase.

I've recently fallen in love with collard wraps.
It stems from my love of sandwiches, which turned into a love for wraps in high school when I wanted to go lighter on the carbs and skip the bread. But now, while I still love my gluten-free wraps and sandwiches, I've realized that I can have that same exact lunch taste just as delicious, but pack it with even more veggies.
It's basically like eating a salad just in wrap form. And by eating it in wrap form, it no longer tastes like that boring old salad. Instead, you're eating a wholesome sandwich that's loaded with nutrition.
It's fun. It's exciting. And it's yummy.
When I'm making my wraps, I like to start with a good base. Something that will hold the ingredients together, but will also meld with all the flavors and give the wrap some substance.
That typically means hummus and/or guacamole; hummus adding some protein and guac giving you a nice dose of healthy fats.
Then you need to layer in some crunchy veggies for texture and I always add quinoa for a little extra protein kick.
They all come together into the perfect lunch wrap.
You know, I feel like often times collard greens get a bad rap. I'm guilty of that because whenever I used to hear "collards", my mind immediately jumped to the traditional Southern dish that frankly didn't sound too appealing. But as I started to learn more about them, I realized that collards are one of those greens, like kale and chard, that are packed with good-for-you things – protein, fiber and other vitamins.
And with their broad, sturdy leaves, and mild flavor, they make the perfect sandwich wrapping vessel.
So next time you're reaching for those overpriced gluten-free wraps at the grocery store, stop in the produce section and pick up a bunch of collards. I promise, you won't be disappointed.
While I do change up my wrap fillings most days, this combo has to be my favorite.
I love the creaminess from the hummus, the crunch from the cucumber, the juiciness from the tomato and the subtle texture from the carrots and quinoa.
Of course, there are a million and one ways you can stuff these babies, so I encourage you to play with your own recipes. Instead of making your go-to sandwich (or wrap) for lunch tomorrow, try putting those ingredients into a collard wrap.
They're just as filling, just as satisfying and way healthier.
You know eating a variety of green vegetables are most important. These wraps are amazing! What a delightful summer dish. Such a healthy meal. Since the collards are thick great for holding the other ingredients together, Thanks for this recipe. I might use it as a healthy appetizer for parties.
What hummus did you use. It looks delicious!!
Yummy! I will try this! Thanks for sharing!
what about using kale leaves?
oh my goodness, LOVE these!!
Those look yummy, I'm not sure we get collard greens in France, but I could maybe try with a cabbage leaf?
Cabbage leaf sounds like a great idea! You could also try them with chard if you get that. Enjoy it!
Bravo! This makes for a great snack. I'm not gluten-free, but I'm looking for great veggie snacks, and sides.

Q: How to calculate array size in preprocessor time? I want to create a array with the size that is calculated in the preprocessor by means of defines. When I try to initialize this array "memory" the following error appears:
error: expression must be an integral constant expression
This look the me that the expression that gives the size appears to be variable, which is weird because it is calculated from defines. See the following code:
#define SAMPLE_FREQUENCY_HZ 48000
#define SAMPLE_INTERVAL_MS ((1.0 / SAMPLE_FREQUENCY_HZ) * 1000.0)
#define MAX_DELAYLINE_LENGHT_MS 250
#define MAX_DELAYLINE_LENGHT_ELEM (MAX_DELAYLINE_LENGHT_MS / SAMPLE_INTERVAL_MS)

typedef struct {
    float delay;
    int size;
//    float *memory;
    float memory[MAX_DELAYLINE_LENGHT_ELEM];
    float *start;
    float *end;
    float *writePointer;
    float *readPointer;
} delayline_t;

Could someone explain the problem en give me a solution the solve this in a need way. Thanks!

A: MAX_DELAYLINE_LENGHT_ELEM is a float/double but an array size must be integral.
It resolves to :
(250 / (1.0 / 48000*1000.0)) =12222.0

but to the compiler it is still a double.

A: The expression that determines the array size of a member in the struct, must be an integer constant expression.

6.6 Constant expressions

*An integer constant expression 117) shall have integer type and shall only have operands
that are integer constants, enumeration constants, character constants, sizeof
expressions whose results are integer constants, _Alignof expressions, and floating
constants that are the immediate operands of casts. Cast operators in an integer constant
expression shall only convert arithmetic types to integer types, except as part of an
operand to the sizeof or _Alignof operator.

As you can see, floating point types are not allowed in this expression.
You will have to manually pre-compute the values of your macros, round them to integer values, and then include them into the program.

A: The array size needs to be an integer constant.
Suggest 3 changes: A) Change to nanoseconds.  B) use rounded integer calculations 2) "LENGTH" (spelling)
#define SAMPLE_FREQUENCY_HZ (48000 /* Hertz */ )

#define SAMPLE_INTERVAL_ns \
    ((1000UL*1000*1000 + SAMPLE_FREQUENCY_HZ/2)/ SAMPLE_FREQUENCY_HZ)

#define MAX_DELAYLINE_LENGTH_ns (250UL*1000*1000 /* nano seconds */)

#define MAX_DELAYLINE_LENGTH_ELEM \
    ((MAX_DELAYLINE_LENGTH_ns + SAMPLE_INTERVAL_ns/2)/ SAMPLE_INTERVAL_ns)

Tune in and take part
The New York Times is leading on a story that young Americans are are now rediscovering an interest in politics. They're also more likely than most of the US public to support a left-leaning government. No surprises there, readers may say, as hasn't it always been the case that the young are more left-wing? Actually, the most recent feature of young people's voting habits across western democracies has been that they don't. They've turned off and tuned out in relatively large numbers.
The New York Times/CBS News/MTV poll showed that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are the two presidential candidates that the 17 to 29 age group know and are most likely to vote for – also giving President Bush an extremely low 28 per cent approval rating.
It would be interesting to see a similar poll in the UK. Groups most likely to vote here tend to be 30 plus. Decisions on knife crime, youth facilities, policing, education, sport, employment, foreign policy, the environment, the economy, women's rights, the minimum wage, etc; all affect the young as much as they do the rest of us. It would be good to have more of them (whatever their views) using their considerable electoral weight to choose which politicians get to make those decisions at a local and national level.

If you're a apiphobe like me or Adam Savage, you dread the coming of Summer. After months of peace, you wander outside only to hear that awful hum of a wasp flying by. I offer a quick, simple solution to this problem.
Look around the house for an empty plastic jug; about as large as a party-size soda bottle. I used a chocolate milk carton.
A razor blade (or scissors).
Because it was such a beautiful day, I decided to work outside.
Cut off the top third or fourth of the jug. The "drinking hole" will become the entrance to the trap. If you're hole is too big (which it likely is), there is a simple fix. First cut off a short length of clear packing tape and fold it in half; there should be no sticky side. Punch a hole near the center of the tape with a hole puncher. This will make a perfectly wasp-sized hole in the tape. Now secure the piece of tape to the opening of the jug, using more packaging tape. If this is confusing, look at the pictures.
When this is done you should have a bottom two thirds and a top third of the jug. The top third will eventually be inverted and placed in the bottom two thirds, make sure it fits before you make to the next step.
Note: I ended up wrapping this in yellow duck tape; it will hopefully help attract the buggers.
Now you will need to add a substance that will attract the local bee population. I used water with five to seven spoonfuls of sugar. Warmer water will dissolve the sugar faster. Fill your trap with about an inch of your sugar-water solution. Invert the top third of the jug and place it in the solution filled jug. Your trap is now completed.
A mixture of soda and water (about 1/2 cup to every 2 cups of water).
Try adding soap to break the surface tension, it will make escape even harder.
The efficiency of your trap is all about location. Observe your surrounding, note where the yellowjackets are coming and going. This trap will attract bees, so don't place it near a frequently used public location. Hopefully this will help with wasp activity and the growing threat of Africanized bees.
As I have just made this today, I do not know how effective this will be. I will post any future results, feel free to improve upon this design.
The second and third image are a possible second design. It involves less cutting and could be more effective. Build both and see which is better.
Isn't removing links in the food chain, like the anti-green?
It might be more useful (and green) to figure out what kind of hornets you have and what they're contributing to your neighborhood. For example, what are they eating? And what's eating them?
Wikipedia would be a good place to start your research. And stop being such a scaredy-cat.
The hornets I'm trying to handle build their nests in the crooks of our house, i.e right next to the front door. This causes some major problems, one of which is the increased chance of a defensive attack. I've been swarmed by these hornets before, and don't wish to repeat it. I was stung on the eye lid (only because I blinked when it landed on my eye, and several times in the chest and arms. Still, I see your point. I was thinking green as in re-using plastic.
Ah, my mistake. Yellowjackets, or wasps, are the target.
That is crazy. You said "won't they just respond to the population loss with increased fecundity?" I am wondering: asking questions like you've read a chapter in elementary school level evolution, why are you debating ecology online? The hornets don't have a way, like humans, of perceiving population loss in their species; for that they would need scientists: statisticians measuring population groups carefully. Nor do wasps possess anywhere close to the cognitive function, i.e. intelligence or background to read a man-made map.
Two hornets infiltrated my living room yesterday, because they are carnivorous and territorial by nature. They didn't sting me because I was fortunate enough to take note of them- and proceeded to later kill them. However, I am not always so cautious to the dozens that live outside my front door and swarm me. I am very grateful for this option of whittling their numbers, before removing the nest. Not to mention I have never been stung, I do not know if I will have a life threatening reaction or not!
I'm a beekeeper and the wasps are eating my bees. I may not be "green" to kill wasps, but isn't it "green" to protect my honeybees from this threat?
dude wasps and yellow jackets are mean and can sting more than once. if you have children, this invention might be good. I was stung by a wasp three days ago. not once but thrice. by the same bee.
i just want to jump in here a minute. Hornets are not bees. Hornets/wasps/yello jackets are carnivores and can sting you multiple times. Honeybees, Bumblebees, are herbivores and they die once they sting. And the only way they will sting you is if you mess with them; they aren't hunters for anything but pollen and nectar and then they go back to their hives. Just needed to differentiate. Bees good. Hornets bad.
some peoples reaction to a sting is what is scarrrrrry.
Also about wikipedia. Don't use it, they lie. A LOT!
I have been using peppermint essential oil to repel insects when I am outside. It performs great. A few drops added to a carrier oil like MCT from coconut works well. I guesstimate 5 drops of EO to 75 of the carrier. A watered down vodka solution then works as a surfactant to create a spray-able medium. You just shake it up as you spray it all over your exposed head, skin, shoes and clothing. The spray is natural, smells good and bugs hate it. Using a simple and inexpensive repellent like this could just save your life and prevent the expense, suffering and uncertainty of your powerful allergic reaction to the venomous stings. Be well my friend.
Wasps (the Yellow Jacket is the worst of this tribe) needs meat to feed its nest larva (insects,dead birds, road kill, ect.) from early April to mid-August . The larva in turn excretes a sweet honey which the adult eats.
By early to mid-August the last batch of larva has taken wing and the wasps hunt for a substitute for the sweet honey they crave. That's why the sweet toothed buggers appear at your picnics in the late summer.
So fill the traps with meat with some liquid to keep the meat moist in the Spring and early to mid-Summer (I use moist cat food) and sugary liquid (Soda, Fruit Juice ect.) I use Apple Juice, in the late Summer and early Fall.
I'm trying this right now. I have one of the only lawns in the neighborhood so the wasp hang out from dawn till dusk feeding. I do not have any nests on my property but a neighbor 3 houses down has a whole yard full of fruit trees and I'm convinced that is where they are coming from. I have tried all of the store bought remedies to treat my lawn and they only work for a few days to keep the wasps away. Hopefully this will clear the nest of enough of the strong healthy wasps to kill off the nest completely. Fingers crossed...I would like to be able to use my lawn.
i know this is an odd question, but what is the approx capacity? would it be easy to use a 1 gallon jug?
Some of us are deadly allergic to wasp stings, y'know. I'm not particularly interested in a hospital visit followed by a two week benedryl coma, assuming I survive. Traps seem like a much more comfortable--and frugal!--idea.
Jeff2818, have you tried the inverted glass bottle-style trap they sell on gaiam.com? I'm still looking for instructions on how to make one myself.

Why Has The Error of Cook's Point Hicks Endured? Part 2
Endeavour's movements near Point Hicks, 1770, plotted against the real coast line. Cook's positions for Point Hicks, Ram Head and Cape Howe are shown. These reflect minor errors in Cook's estimates of his position due to the limitations of the navigational technology of the time. Green lines show the extent of "land" seen at 6 am, 8 am and at noon according to Cook's Endeavour journal entries. Approximate areas of the cloudbank, or illusions of land, are also shown.
For too long misunderstanding has surrounded the location of Point Hicks, the first placename that Captain Cook bestowed on the coast of Australia. As he approached this coast on 20 April, 1770, he named what he believed was a land feature out to the west as Point Hicks. Many people believe that Cook gave that name to a location on the actual coast to the north, known from 1852 until 1970 as Cape Everard, and officially since 1970 as Point Hicks.
This article, presented in two parts, explores why this belief persists.
Part 1 of this article argued that, since many people could not believe that Cook could have mistaken a cloudbank for land, they had searched for other explanations.1 Evidence was presented that cloudbanks giving the appearance of land were, and are, a common phenomenon, and that Cook's own data strongly supports the hypothesis that he, and others in Endeavour, were deceived by cloudbanks appearing as land from 6 am until noon on that day.
Part 2 of the article examines why many people still believe that the former Cape Everard is Cook's Point Hicks.
Other theories on the whereabouts of Point Hicks
Over the years since 1770, explanations have been sought for Cook's positioning of Point Hicks out at sea. Before 1800, George Bass and Matthew Flinders had concluded that Point Hicks did not exist as a land feature and, based on their own experiences, it seems likely that they concluded that Cook had been deceived by cloudbanks. Failure to find Cook's Point Hicks led to a range of theories to explain what had occurred:
Did Cook make an error in recording the coordinates of Point Hicks?
Given the evidence Cook left, this idea seems highly unlikely. In the Endeavour Journal, Cook gave his estimated position at 8 am, the bearing from this position to Point Hicks, together with its coordinates. Records from the ship's log, his soundings and chart of the coast provide further data. Each piece of this information is consistent with the other pieces, and correlates with Endeavour's earlier and later track on that day. It is also consistent with his recordings of the extent of "land" seen at 6 am, at 8 am, and at noon.2 Importantly, it also accords with Cook's usual precise recording of his observations.
Was there a compass error?
As recorded in the Endeavour journal, Cook had checked the variation of the ship's compass that morning, and found it to be 8 degrees 7 minutes east. We can discount gross compass errors on the basis of earlier and later observations made in the area on that day. Modern plotting of Endeavour's track also demonstrates that Cook's minor errors in estimating his position (due to the limitations of navigational technology at that time) are broadly consistent. Both Ram Head and Cape Howe, named in the next few hours, show similar errors as that for Point Hicks.
Did Cook name a feature on the real coast?
What features on the actual coast could Cook have seen at 8 am, and could one of these be the Point Hicks he named? Hills near the real coast would have been visible before the low-lying coastline was seen, and it has been suggested that one of these was what Cook saw and named. Various theories have been put forward over the years.3 All of them rely on the notion that Cook's coordinates for Point Hicks were recorded incorrectly, and the evidence above indicates otherwise.
Was Cook lying for the Admiralty?
Margaret Cameron-Ash, a lawyer by training, has recently put forward an explanation for Cook's Point Hicks being out at sea.4 She sets out a case that he deliberately did so under orders from the Admiralty, to create the impression that there was land there, his aim being to disguise the existence of Bass Strait, and dissuade the French from colonising Tasmania. Part of her case rests on historian Ernest Scott's notion that Cook could not possibly have mistaken a cloudbank for land. Her evidence for this thesis is circumstantial, and has been critically examined elsewhere.5
Ernest Scott's error and its long reaching influence
From earlier than 1850 the current Point Hicks (the former Cape Everard) was assumed, by some local people at least, to be the feature Cook saw.6 It was the nearest land to, and almost due north of, Cook's 8 am position, and Cook had recorded Point Hicks as the "Southermost Point of land we had in sight". It was assumed that this land must have been what he was referring to. By the early 1900s, historian Ernest Scott had put forward the same explanation, and had begun a campaign to have Cape Everard renamed as Point Hicks. It seems that Scott was aware of what he refers to as "the traditional view" that had prevailed from at least 1850.7 As shown in the first part of this article, Scott's reverence for Cook would not allow him to accept the cloudbank hypothesis, leading to his espousal of this earlier assumption.
[Cook] wrote that he "judged" the point to be where as a matter of fact there is no land at all, but only open ocean. We have therefore to infer what Cook's Point Hicks was from his descriptive words. The "southernmost point" in sight of the Endeavour at the time was that which figures on Admiralty charts as Cape Everard.8
Scott is right, the southernmost point of real land nearest to Cook's 8 am position was, and is, Cape Everard. This fact is at the heart of the error—it seems on the face of it to be a plausible explanation. However, there are several fundamental errors in Scott's proposition.
First, he misquotes Cook who recorded, "The Southermost Point of land we had in sight which bore W¼S I judged to lay in the Latitude of 38 o0′ S and in the Longitude of 211 o 07′ W". This puts Point Hicks just south of west, and several leagues from, his 8 am position, a long way from where Cape Everard lies almost due north. Secondly, Thomas Walker Fowler notes that Cook puts Point Hicks 22 nautical miles from his 8 am position,9 while Cape Everard is about half that distance. Thirdly, because of the curvature of the earth, Cook would have been too far away to be able to see the low-lying point at Cape Everard from his ship's position at 8 am. Fourthly, Cook's purpose in naming coastal features was for the guidance of future navigators. Hence these features needed to be prominent and distinctive so as to be readily recognisable from out at sea. Cape Everard does not meet this criterion, so it is very unlikely that Cook would have named it, even if he had been able to see it.
It is important to note Scott's words, "We therefore have to infer what Cook's Point Hicks was from his descriptive words". Scott's reasoning is constructed on an inference. Despite a published debate extending over several years, the expert opinions of Fowler, a well-regarded surveyor, were shouted down by the far more eminent Scott, despite Scott's complete lack of any maritime or surveying experience.10
It seems remarkable that none of Scott's successors seemed to have taken the trouble to examine Scott's arguments, along with those of Fowler, and the opinions of other people who were navigators.
In its turn, reverence for eminent historian Scott resulted in the acceptance of his views by other leading historians of his day, including the highly regarded J C Beaglehole.
In Beaglehole's 1955 edition of Cook's Endeavour journal, he commented
Some confusion and controversy have arisen over Point Hicks, and even its existence… 'The Southermost Point of land we had in sight', however, could not have been in the position that Cook assigned to it, for that was in the open sea in 50 fathoms of water and over twelve nautical miles from the nearest shore. The matter has been conclusively treated by Ernest Scott, 'English and French Navigators on the Victorian Coast', in the Victorian Historical Magazine, II (1912) pp. 146-51. The cape is there says Scott.11
Many years later, in his biography of Cook, Beaglehole wrote
at 6 Hicks saw the land, extending from north-east to west five or six leagues off. The ship had been heading towards Bass Strait; she was held on this western course for two hours more, and then Cook bore away for the easternmost land in sight, calling the southernmost point of land he could at that time see Point Hicks. It is now known as Cape Everard.12
Later historians accepted Scott's and Beaglehole's views as authoritative. As a result, the published record of this event to this day still largely reflects Scott's perspective. Perhaps this situation is understandable. As Scott himself wrote in his Preface to "Terre Napoleon" in 1910
however much disposed one may be to form one's opinions on tested facts apart from the writings of historians, several lifetimes would not be sufficient for a man to inquire for himself into the truth of a bare fraction of the conclusions with which research is concerned.13
A century after Scott it is difficult to find an accurate version of what was seen and named when the Australian east coast was first sighted by those aboard Endeavour. There are many Cook writers who have fallen into Scott's error.14
The 1924 Plaque claiming that Cape Everard was Cook's Point Hicks.

Scott's views have also influenced governments. In 1924 distinguished historians, including Scott, combined to persuade the Commonwealth government to erect a plaque at Cape Everard claiming that it was Cook's Point Hicks. The plaque is still there.
In 1970, to commemorate the bicentenary of Cook's voyage the government of Victoria was persuaded, again by historians, and despite protests by navigators, to rename Cape Everard as Point Hicks, a name it still bears.15
This fake Point Hicks, therefore, appears on all modern maps, charts, and satellite navigation screens. In the current absence of any information on the ground to the contrary, today's visitors to this land feature may well conclude that they are visiting the first land feature on the Australia coast named by Cook. There is little apparent interest by the public authorities in the State of Victoria in recognising and correcting this error.
Historians write books, but sailors seldom do. The expert views of experienced mariners Flinders, John Lort Stokes, Philip Gidley King, as well as twentieth century surveyors and navigators Thomas Fowler, L. Barker, Geoffrey Ingleton and Brett Hilder, have received far less public exposure and consideration.16 It is only recently that more detailed analysis of the Point Hicks controversy has revealed the chain of events leading to the current widespread misunderstanding.17 Captain Brett Hilder, a very experienced Pacific navigator and hydrographer, who provides the most elegant proof of Endeavour's track near today's Point Hicks, wrote despairingly, "academics tend to believe the printed word of previous scholars rather than the printed charts of practical men who are the real experts in the matter of charting a coastline".18
Restoring Cook's Legacy
After 250 years of error it is important to the memory of Cook, a stickler for accuracy, that there is a better understanding of what he really saw and named on the coast of Australia in 1770. Should today's Point Hicks revert to its pre-1970 name of Cape Everard? It is perhaps ironic that those who have opposed that renaming have in most cases supported its retention. However, there are good reasons for the retention. Hilder's view is that today's Point Hicks was "certainly part of the land first seen by Hicks and I think should be left bearing his name to perpetuate the historic landfall".19 Historian Robert Haldane has a similar view, "Cook's intention to name the area of his first landfall after Zachary Hicks has been fulfilled".20
Today's visitors and future generations should be under no illusions about what Cook named and why today's Point Hicks is where it is. An appropriately worded commemorative plaque at today's Point Hicks would serve this purpose and should point out the importance of Cook's Ram Head.21

This is my first blog post and I am extremely excited to announce Justinmartinphotography.com is up and running! I am a Denver-based real estate and architecture photographer and in this post I will introduce myself.
You may be wondering how I became interested in photography. It all began with my love of architecture. As far back as I can remember I was captivated by skyscrapers. I am a Denver native and photographing Denver's skyscrapers began while I was in elementary school. I would ask my dad to drive me to Downtown Denver so I could take photos of Denver's skyscrapers. At that time my favorite building to photography was 1999 Broadway.
Fast forward to a couple years ago and my love for architecture never waned. In early 2015 I launched Denver Urban Review, an online publication where I cover Denver's architecture, construction, and real estate news. To cover this news I document the progress of the Denver area construction projects through photos. I quickly caught the photography bug and began learning everything I could when it came to capturing the best possible photos. As my photos improved more and more people reached out to me asking if I would be interested in doing freelance photography work for them. As these requests became more frequent I began to wonder if architecture and real estate photography could become a career.
I invite you to contact me with any questions you may have in regards to my photography services.
Don't be a stranger as I will be posting new blogs on this site as well as sharing recent photos of Denver area real estate and architecture.

More news for C*4's Season Six debut!
Championship shuffle and scramble! First time ever – for real this time! And more!
We are two weeks away from C*4's kick off to Season Six! As Sept. 14th, quickly approaches, we have several big announcements to make right now concerning the event!
First off, a match that has never happened before – and was supposed to happen last March, but due to circumstances beyond anybody's control couldn't.
On one side of the ring, a man who managed to score a win over "The Last of a Dying Breed", Eddie Kingston, at Crossing the Live 5 – and has bragged about it ever since… "MVP" Michael Von Payton.
Von Payton has promised C*4 management that season six was his year, and he'll take on all opponents, and beat them all.
On that note, C*4 has signed the man he was supposed to face back in March, to collide with him… Franky the Mobster!
C*4 management was notified earlier this week, that due to an injury suffered at Battlewar in Montreal over the weekend, Thomas Dubois could not compete on Friday Sept. 14th. As a result, the tandem of Dubois & St. Jacques will no longer be challenging for the tag team Championship at "A Better Tomorrow".
With this announcement, C*4 has decided to open the field to all challengers and Checkmate once again has agreed to defend their titles in a scramble match.
The Afterparty – Currently riding a wave of fan support, Cecil Nyx and Chaz Lovely are hoping to score the biggest win of their careers. Can Nyx and Lovely pull it off?
Brent B. & Jae Rukin – a team that has collided with Checkmate several times already, and have narrowly been defeated each time. Rukin and Brent can awe a crowd like few others, however they have just missed out each chance. Can this time be the one?
The Incredible Hunks – A team which has appeared in C*4 since the very first season, however isn't known for their time here. Deeno & Cheeky are both looking to make an impact on Sept. 14th – and a win here, would take them from looking in, to looking down at all the teams below.
Can Checkmate hold on to their championship? Or will one of their three challengers score a very important win?
Jae Rukin & "The Allstarter" Brent B.
At "Crossing the Line 5", self-proclaimed "World Inter-Gender Champion", Twiggy was physically destroyed by Vanessa Kraven. However, in the end, with the assistance from his lawyer, Twiggy managed to pin the amazon.
Later this summer, at Fighting Back 2, Kraven got a measure of revenge on Twiggy; however she didn't have a chance at the title.
Twiggy has told C*4 management that on Sept. 14th, he will address Vanessa Kraven, and potentially facing her in the future.
However, Twiggy has stated that he has signed a contract to face a worthy opponent, and one he feels "will be just as challenging as Vanessa Kraven, if not more".
Making her C*4 debut on Friday Sept. 14th, Xandra Bale challenges Twiggy.
While Twiggy might be welcoming the challenge of the smaller-than-Kraven, he should not underestimate Bale.
Having been turning heads on the Ontario indy scene for the last several years, Bale is looking to make an impact on Sept. 14th. A win over Twiggy would certainly do just that.

Silence of Others
Panorama Audience Award
Peace Film Award
Imagine going to Germany and seeing that there were still statues of Hitler. That was what Spaniards faced after the death of Franco.
-- Louis Proyect, Counterpunch.org
The Silence of Others
Filmed over six years, The Silence of Others reveals the epic struggle of victims of Spain's 40-year dictatorship under General Franco, as they organize a groundbreaking international lawsuit and fight a "pact of forgetting" around the crimes they suffered. A powerful and poetic cautionary tale about fascism, and the dangers of forgetting the past.
The Silence of Others offers a cinematic portrait of the first attempt in history to prosecute crimes of Franco's 40-year dictatorship in Spain (1939-1975), whose perpetrators have enjoyed impunity for decades due to a 1977 amnesty law. It brings to light a painful past that Spain is reluctant to face, even today, decades after the dictator's death.
The story unfolds on two continents: in Spain, where survivors and human rights lawyers are building a case that Spanish courts refuse to admit, and in Argentina, where a judge has taken it on using the principle of universal jurisdiction, which allows foreign courts to investigate crimes against humanity if the country where they occurred refuses to do so.

How To Timelapse
Introducing... The 2017 Timelapse and Hyperlapse Reel
I know, I know - everybody releases their reel in January and it's pushing into March but sometimes, time and tide awaits no man, or woman. So, without further ado...
The Victoria Amazonica - How to Timelapse a Water Lily
Apart from the odd sunrise or sunset, I normally only get one shot at capturing each timelapse I undertake whilst shooting on location. Unlike traditional filming, there's no 'cut' and start over from the director - there's often no director with me so I'm left to my own devices to get the shot in the can. This task however, was a bit more of a rare occurance. We're not talking solar eclipse rare; more of a couple of month's wait and by that time, I would have missed the transmission date anyway!
My Cherie Amour - How to timelapse cherry growth from flower to fruit
Shooting a timelapse longer than 30 minutes has it's challenges. In this post, I'll tell you how to overcome those and how I achieved the end result!
How to create a seasonal timelapse part 2 with Grow Wild
In late 2015 I was given the opportunity to capture seasonal change of Grow Wild's four flagship sites dotted around Great Britain covering England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The idea was to start filming in April 2016 and re-visit each site to capture the change in growth over a couple of seasons or so.
Timelapse How To: How to impress your clients, keep them smiling and reassure them
When the pressure's on and you're neck-deep in schedule, it's raining most heavily and you're being blown off your feet in 70+mph winds it's not unusual to question yourself, asking what on earth it is you are doing with your life. There's a reason you do it though...
Ten More Timelapse Mistakes And How To Make Them
My previous post 'Timelapse mistakes and how to make them' proved to be pretty popular (even though people were still leaving their camera strap on for some unknown reason) so I decided to add another ten! Again, I firmly stand by making mistakes as it's the only way to learn in a practical environment so feel free to make them, as I have done so...
Timelapse mistakes and how to make them
Wait what? You want me to actually make mistakes? Yes - an unusual title for some to comprehend maybe and if you've not done them already, you probably will at some point. We all make mistakes and it's the only way to learn in my view - practical knowledge is what gives us the experience. In this post, I'll be looking at how you can make mistakes to improve your technique.
How to timelapse an event: The Photography Show 2015
Event Photography is demanding, hectic and often riddled with changes of plan - the 'live' tv version of shoots. Throw into the mix the addition of timelapse and you've got a whirlwind of chaos. The key to success here is control and that comes with planning.
How to Timelapse a plane being painted
I know. It's fast approaching mid-February and I've not made a blog post for nearly two months now. Ironically, I haven't had the time, even though most of my colleagues in the industry imagine that I spend all day listening to my camera click at varying intervals and spend said time sleeping, reading, watching films or generally just being lazy. In my busiest January on record since I started Chadchud back in 2010, I've been somewhat absorbed and preoccupied with looking after 12 shoots and around 28 cameras. Anyway - here's one of those weeks...
Timelapse How To: Tower Bridge, London
Opened on the 30th June 1894, Tower Bridge in London is a combination of a Bascule and Suspension Bridge. It's recently undergone a makeover with the addition of glass floor sections in the East and West walkways which gave me an idea...
Lapse London: A crowdsourced timelapse of London
Are you interested in developing your skills in Timelapse Photography? On Saturday 6th December 2014, Triggertrap will be hosting a free event at their London HQ and we'll be attempting to capture London in all it's glorious detail, frame by frame.

It takes tons - both literally and figuratively - of raw material to manufacture an aircraft. From fasteners to injected molded plastics and countless variations of metals, electronic components, and resins are needed to produce the millions of individual parts required to deliver a completed aircraft on-time and on budget. Case in point: An average commercial aircraft contains approximately 387 tons of metal alone!
If you're an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) in the aerospace industry such as Boeing or Airbus, raw material procurement and sourcing for countless parts can result in chaos. And this problem isn't unique to aerospace. It persists across industries including oil & gas, automotive, industrial equipment, among others.
At Supply Dynamics, we estimate that our customers outsource on average 50-80% of product parts and components. This trend has resulted in complex, highly fragmented supply chains, reducing transparency for the OEMs, while increasing dependence upon contract manufacturers and their ability to manage their own complex supply networks.
How many metals, plastics, electronics and fastener sources do your part suppliers purchase from? Five or 500? As long as you get your parts on time, does it even matter? Of course, it does.
As a procurement leader, you understand there are efficiencies in streamlining raw material procurement at all levels of the supply chain. What if OEMs could orchestrate the joint-negotiation and forecasting of such materials to eliminate waste and improve efficiency through a systemic process?
By value-stream mapping actual raw materials used in part production and linking that to the demand for those parts, Supply Dynamics can help you forecast consolidated material requirements and provide a dynamic snapshot of your sourcing strengths and vulnerabilities. Sharing this information with contract manufacturers and raw material sources then enables transformational collaboration.
By sharing what we call a "material demand profile" with the sources of the raw material, OEMs can reduce risk for their raw material suppliers enabling them to operate more responsively, while increasing the OEMs ability to control pricing and ensure availability. Sharing a top level forecast only, with no definition of order form preferences (i.e. sheet vs coil or bar vs plate), discrete sizes and specifications, is virtually useless to a Distributor.
With such a forecast, Service Centers avoid speculation regarding which materials will be purchased or to what sizes and specifications and which site or contract manufacturers in the supply chain will purchase it. Knowing this in advance ensures service centers can stock the appropriate inventory quantities of the correct materials at the right time. This also serves to reduce lead-times. Some of our customers see their lead time reduced by 50% or more.
What is the accuracy of the forecast?
Are there limited life considerations associated with the material?
Are there unique packaging requirements?
Are there processing requirements or unique specifications associated with the order?
Can the customer specify quantities required by specific user, over specific time frames, and by unique sizes and specifications?
This kind of information is the proverbial "Holy Grail" for a mill or distributor because it allows them to service your business more efficiently, reducing the risk of obsolescence and allowing them in some cases to level load production and better manage inventory levels over time.
Ideally, an OEM establishes standard raw material purchasing agreements with Mills and Distributors and allows its Contract Manufacturers to purchase off those agreements. Transparency is essential to ensure that such agreements are followed.
On the flip side, if a raw material supplier cannot fulfill orders placed down the supply chain, the OEM is aware of the situation in advance and can properly address any potential delays.
An aggregation program gives the OEM significant leverage over raw material suppliers and contract manufacturers. It goes without saying, the OEM could switch suppliers should suppliers fail to deliver the promised level of service. However, suppliers are also incentivized to participate in these programs because their costs are reduced through better planning – a win-win throughout the supply chain.
No two Contract Manufacturers make a part the same way and therefore no two bills of material (even for the same part) are ever the same. For this reason, the OEM must provide a simple, easy way for Contract Manufacturers to update or "validate" bills of material.
For example: Say an OEM needs 1,600 pieces of a specific aluminum part in the coming year. The blueprint suggests that the optimal way to manufacture the part is to machined it out of an 8.0" long piece of aluminum grade 6061, 2.0" diameter round bar. However, the minute the OEM outsources that part to an external contract manufacturers, it loses visibility into the actual form and size of material actually purchased. For instance, one contract manufacturer may choose to purchase material in different form or size than another (2.25" vs. 2.0" for example).
We understand – this sounds like an Industry 4.0 unicorn, right? Likely, you've been managing your raw material procurement data with a team of folks sharing a macro-crazy Excel spreadsheet. This is where Supply Dynamics can help. Our Part Attribute Characterization service and SDX multi enterprise platform enables OEMs to captures contract manufacturers' raw material data for each part without asking the part supplier to do all the heavy lifting. In this way, OEMs can accurately forecast raw material requirements and manage the timely purchase and supply of material requirements across the enterprise.. All of this allows for better pricing and contract terms, shorter lead-times, and higher levels of performance from the supply chain.
For too long OEMs, contract manufacturers, and raw material suppliers have relied on historical data or guesswork to forecast future raw material demand. By better understanding the raw materials used in its products and sharing information with the sources of those materials OEMs can achieve step-change improvements in their cost of doing business, and actively monitor purchases of program-related materials. In addition, they can improve overall supply chain efficiency and ultimately improve on-time delivery of more profitable products.

War (House War #8) (Hardcover)
By Michelle West
DAW, 9780756410117, 560pp.
MP3 CD (8/20/2019)
The eighth and final book in the epic fantasy House War series closes this chapter in a beloved world of magic and political intrigue, where new threats are stirring.
When the Sleepers wake.
Once, that phrase meant: never. The Sleepers were a myth, part of a story told to children. But in truth, the Sleepers, ancient princes in the court of the Winter Queen, were imprisoned in slumber by the gods themselves—in the cold, dark ruins of the ancient city that lies buried beneath the capitol of the Empire. And that prison is fraying, at last.
They are waking.
The gods no longer walk the world. There is no power that can stand against the princes when they wake—and the city that has been Jewel's home for her entire life will be destroyed when the Sleepers walk. There is only one person to whom they owe allegiance, only one chance to halt them before they destroy everything in their ancient rage.
But that person is the Winter Queen; she is not, and has never been mortal. Jewel carries the last of the surviving saplings that might usher in a new Summer age—but all of the roads that lead to the court of the Queen are closed.
Jewel ATerafin has faced the Oracle's test. She has control of the prophetic powers that she once considered a curse and a burden. She will find her way to the Winter Queen, and she will ask—or beg—the Winter Queen to intervene to save her kind, her House, and everything she loves.
But she is mortal, and time has never been her friend. The demons are waiting to bar her way, bringing battle to the hidden ancient paths on which she must travel. To win, she must face the true meaning of the Oracle's test, and risk sanity and life to make the choice that has always lurked at the heart of the firstborn's test.
And even then, it might be too late.
Michelle West is the author of three interconnected series: The Sacred Hunt duology, the six-volume Sun Sword series, and The House War novels. She has published numerous short stories, as well as fantasy novels, under her maiden name, Michelle Sagara. She was a two-time nominee for the Campbell Award. She works part-time at BAKKA Books, one of Toronto's larger bookstores, and writes a column for The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. She can be contacted via her website, michellesagara.com.
Praise For War (House War #8)…
Praise for The House War novels:
"Richly and superbly detailed. Her characters live and sing." —Examiner
"Lush, richly intricate…Jay is charismatic, deeply compelling…. The story sucked me in and didn't spit me out till the end…. Some say Michelle West has been propelled into the ranks of George R. R. Martin and Robin Hobb—I say she's been there all along." —Night Owl Reviews
"Fans of award-winning Toronto fantasy writer Michelle West will be delighted with this return to the vivid and detailed universe of the Sacred Hunt and the Sun Sword series…. In a richly woven world, and with a cast of characters that ranges from traumatized street kids to the wealthy heads of the most prominent houses in Averalaan, West pulls no punches as she hooks readers in with her bold and descriptive narrative." —Quill & Quire
"This is a compelling story with riveting and finely wrought characters that will keep you up well into the night. This story will go down as one of the best novels in its genre, propelling West into the ranks of Robin Hobb and George R.R. Martin. It's simply a great read, don't miss it." —The Maine Edge
"West is growing into a superb storyteller as demonstrated by this best effort to date with a fully realized world populated by a diverse range of nicely developed characters and a compelling storyline that hooks readers in from the start." —Monsters and Critics
"I am glad I read it. It is out of the ordinary for a fantasy tale, and is a Hamlet rather than a Henry V." —Grasping for the Wind
"Michelle West tells a wonderful tale…. I really like the way West draws the characters, making them, even the children, memorable. A lot of untold riches are implied here, and I'm waiting eagerly for sequels." —Philadelphia Center City Weekly Press
"The power and majesty of the series is in the characters, although the world itself is extraordinary.... The House War series is timeless and clearly takes it place at the top of its genre. It is a full-bodied piece of work that is satisfying, intriguing and thought-provoking." —Bitten by Books
