Circular Computing | A distinctive identity for a pioneering sustainable and socially responsible IT business.
Driven by the primary need to secure high profile business opportunities, we were tasked with developing Circular's value proposition and visual brand, followed by an engaging, optimised and fully responsive web-design, complete with site-wide copywriting.
Using knowledge, research and passionate inspiration from the Circular team, our challenge was to distil their brand story and communicate the offering through compelling information and a modern, own-able visual identity. The ultimate goal – to inspire an industry-wide movement towards a more ethical, sustainable and socially responsible way to buy enterprise IT.
Following a series of initial workshops, our strategy team worked to define the qualities and brand truths that make Circular unique. We also explored the needs and motivations of primary and secondary audience personas which helped later inform go-to-market messaging. Then we considered their messaging and collateral requirements for direct and channel sales, which involved engaging, educating and empowering an important international reseller network.
Our visual branding approach presented an ultra-modern, eco-brand with distinctive imagery and bespoke illustrations. The new logo was created, alongside a unique marque and refreshed colour palette that extended beyond the "tech sector sea of blue" and injected fresh teal, aqua and greens, similar to brands that dominate the sustainability landscape. The brand was then applied to collateral such as a company brochure, whitepaper and a bespoke-commissioned university research article. Brand materials also included office signage, clothing and adhesive decals designed to label the newly remanufactured products.
Finally, we produced designs for a fully responsive website to house the Circular Computing story. The new brand is brought to life with subtle transitions and video content, whilst minimal use of the colour palette ensures the pages are clean, professional and communicate high-quality. The overall user experience is intuitive and engaging with carefully planned internal links guiding visitors through two sides of the brand - Performance IT and Sustainable IT.
After a successful launch Circular has built relationships in priority sectors and the new brand and website have made a significant impact to Circular's conversations with potential partners.
In 2018 Circular won a sizeable contract to supply a leading business process services company based in California. The company praised Circular Computing for "the quality, the packaging and the presentation" and also stated that "the messaging is excellent." They noted that Circular's offering is "the type of product that they could present to major corporations with green initiatives." The contract will see the provision of remanufactured hardware over the next three years at a value over $150 million.
"We were impressed with the way Salad were able to immerse themselves in Circular Computing. They understood our ideas and objectives and created something that effectively represents our values and ambition for the brand.
We felt involved throughout the process and faced a difficult decision when we had to choose between two equally impressive visual brand routes. Their expertise and guidance put us at ease bringing strategy, visual branding and website creation together.

I really wanted USC to lose...bad. Why? Because I want everyone else to understand what I have known for my whole life, it's easy to roll over everyone you play when you only have 1 or 2 big games a year. I'm sorry, but because you obliterate Hawaii 63-17 means nothing, zip...zilch, same with Arizona, Arizona State, Washington State, Stanford (should I keep going?). What a joke. Big woop.
Try being a typical Big Ten team (just pick one) and try going undefeated with the best team...you have at least 6 big games a year, maybe more. Every road game is war, win a few and even your home games are madness. Everyone wants to win at the Big House, at the Shoe, at Camp Randall, every rivalry is covered in mines, just waiting to be triggered no matter if the rival is 8-1 or 2-6.
Anyway, what a cheap win, the game was over and then it wasn't. I am no football expert, but a big footbal fan but I was literally standing in my living room screaming "Don't fall for it, they are going for it!". I was right. USC couldn't imagine the idea of losing in overtime or even playing an overtime game. They want to dominate or nothing. That's why they play 8 or 9 gimmies a year.
Then we got to listen to "surfer boy" talk about "not knowing how to lose"... When you play more than one or two great teams in one year and win we'll talk.
This concludes "something completely different".

The Nimpkish ferrying passengers on a long route.
Visitor complaints about "Nimpkish experience" are no surprise to local critics
Critics of the BC government's "Nimpkish Solution" to the financial woes of BC Ferries are not at all surprised by traveler responses
Ernest Hall
Oct. 14, 2014 3:00 p.m.
Critics of the BC government's "Nimpkish Solution" to the financial woes of BC Ferries are not at all surprised by traveler responses to the failed 2014 Bella Bella – Bella Coola connector ferry service that replaced the MV Queen of Chilliwack on the Discovery Coast Circle Tour.
Says Doug Baker, President of Bella Coola Valley Tourism (BCVT), which conducted a traveler questionnaire this summer: "We've known all along that this inferior ferry would not meet the expectations of visitors – even with the amazing hospitality of the crew. The journey is long and expensive and demands a higher quality experience." (The 16.5-hour journey between Bella Coola and Port Hardy cost $738 for a car and two passengers.)
On the BCVT questionnaire, many travelers already booked on the Circle Tour said there was no room on the tiny 16-car vessel and they had to change their plans drastically. Those who did squeeze on soon discovered they were cramped for nine hours on a boat with uncomfortably low bus-bench seating, little space to stretch their legs, one difficult-to-access washroom at the bottom of the steep, narrow stairway to the car deck, constant shuddering and engine noise, and a minimal, complimentary, food service. Many expressed safety concerns.
On the questionnaire, many said their "Nimpkish Experience" was redeemed only by the spectacular scenery, the favourable weather, and the efforts of the vessel's crew who did their best in an embarrassing situation. Many travelers decried the damage being done to the tourism industry and the effect this would have on the obviously struggling economy.
Transportation Minister Todd Stone has defended his "Nimpkish Solution", saying more accurate marketing of the Nimpkish will address traveler complaints by reducing their expectations. He says the tourism industry is responsible for making the Nimpkish work as the Circle Tour marine link and blames critics for damage being done to the Circle Tour's reputation.
Baker says the government must recognize the years of effort that the Bella Coola Valley and the Chilcotin have already put into marketing the Circle Tour, adding, "We can accommodate many more travellers than the Nimpkish can deliver." He says: "The Nimpkish doesn't need better marketing: It's already full." At times, Baker has called the little vessel "a toy in a fjord".
Bella Coola businessman John Morton, who facilitated unfruitful discussions last spring with Tourism Minister Naomi Yamamoto, says: "a properly operated and skillfully marketed connector service, with an adequate vessel, could be successful." He says government and BC Ferries must "abandon the pretense" that the Nimpkish is suitable. Until then, he says, "tourism in the region will continue to founder."
A study last January by the Tourism Industry of BC determined the changes then being planned would have a major economic impact on tourism province-wide and that the Discovery Coast Tour was "actually profitable" based on provincial taxes generated.
Petrus Rykes, Chair of the Save the Discovery Coast Ferry lobby group, describes the Nimpkish replacement as "a huge blow to our international credibility" and risks "turning this region into a third-world country". He fears for the damage done to the reputation of the regional tourism industry by the bad reviews of this summer's Circle Tour experience.
Darla Blake, CCRD (Central Coast Regional District) administrator, says she expected some negative traveler reaction to their Nimpkish experiences, but she is "amazed" by the comments on the BCVT questionnaire. She says, "It is time to stop all the talking and start putting together some strategies to return an appropriate service". She calls the 2014 service "untenable" and hopes government will act to prevent "more damage to our tourism reputation and deepening of the current negative economic impact to our region."
Blake and CCRD Chair Reg Moody attended the September annual convention of the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) at which mayors and regional districts province-wide unanimously called on government to restore BC Ferries service and fares to 2013 levels. They also told government to conduct a socioeconomic study of the 2013 cutbacks and to fund ferries as an extension of the highway system. They cited a need to cooperate with communities to develop a long-term ferry strategy. A recently released UBCM study showed BC Ferries' management decisions have resulted in a $2.3 billion loss to the BC economy over the past 10 years.
Following the UBCM Convention, both Blake and Moody described meetings with government ministers as "frustrating".
Transportation Minister Stone dismissed the UBCM study as "irresponsible", "unrealistic," "unsubstantial," and "sensational". As a consequence of the Minister's response, the CCRD has initiated preparations for a follow up meeting with government next month beginning with discussions in Bella Coola this week.
The BCVT questionnaire data are being analysed by two professional research firms, and the resulting reports are expected soon.

Massage has been around for 5000 years - can you believe it?!? Are you ready to try the world's oldest healthcare?
Massage isn't a new trend, it's History!
Massage is the oldest healthcare on the planet - really! There are records from thousands of years ago, on almost every continent, of massage being used to maintain health and prevent disease. And, not just for the elite, but for everyone!
In fact, the earliest written records of massage were found in China & Egypt dating back to 2700 BCE, and 3000 BCE in India! The practice of Ayurvedic Medicine in India is a Sanskrit word meaning "life health" or "life science". Ayurvedic Medicine is widely regarded as the basis for holistic medicine, combining meditation, relaxation treatments (MASSAGE!) and aromatherapy.
Incorporating massage into "western" medicine is still a work in progress, but, ask any athlete or olympian how they recover from a tough workout. The answer is MASSAGE! Public demand is even making strides in including massage in healthcare coverage - don't forget to check your healthcare plan!
1-60 minute massage has the same effect on the body as 8 hours of sleep.
Julius Cesar used massage as a cure for epilepsy.
Consistent use of massage therapy can result in an impressive glow on your skin, preventing signs of aging and helping maintain elasticity.
Both children and adults reduce anxiety and panic by receiving regular massage - including a reducing in PTSD related symptoms.

Q: Why isn't my code running? Im pretty new to C, but I need help on this
#define PISS 73
#include <stdio.h>
int a, b, c;
int killmeplease(int a, int b, int c);
int main(void)
{
    puts("WHATS YOUR AGE");
    //Gets int 'a'
    scanf_s("%d", &a);
    int killmeplease;
        printf("Youre gonna die in %d years", b);
        getchar();
        return 0;

}
int killmeplease(int a, int b, int c)
{
    PISS - a = b;
    return 0;
}

Don't judge.
Not sure if this is just something I missed but whatever it it's its not letting the code run.
I may have put this in the wrong tab but if you can help thats great.

A: Although 73 sounds a bit early to die, this is how you can implement it :)
#define PISS 73
#include <stdio.h>
int killmeplease(int a);

int main(void)
{
    int a,b;
    puts("WHATS YOUR AGE");
    scanf_s("%d", &a);
    b=killmeplease(a);
    printf("Youre gonna die in %d years", b);
    getchar();
    return 0;
}
int killmeplease(int a)
{
    return PISS - a;
}

The function returns the value based on the input a. You can also pass another pointer to it and store the return value from it.
You should also check the return value of scanf_s() for failure.

A: Or maybe we could write functions and variables with sensible names and then mistakes might be more obvious:
void yearsOfLifeLeft ( int lifeExpectancy, int currentAge, int * yearsLeftPtr ) {
    *yearsLeftPtr = lifeExpectancy - currentAge;
}

SEATTLE — After watching her team let a big lead slip away, Sue Bird said hitting the reset button was as easy as resetting the game clock for an extra five minutes.
Bird scored 19 points, including the go-ahead basket with 1:03 left in overtime and two clinching free throws with 2.1 seconds left, to help the Seattle Storm recover from blowing a 17-point fourth quarter bulge and beat the Phoenix Mercury 91-87 in the second game of the WNBA semifinals Tuesday night.
"Obviously, we're disappointed to have been in that situation," Bird said. "You can be upset or what not, but then, we just took a moment and said, 'All right, we have five minutes - and we actually know how to win.' This is the playoffs; this isn't supposed to be easy.
"I think we already pushed reset once (coach Dan Hughes) said that. We kind of understood and said, 'OK, let's just go do this.'"
Added Hughes, "Losing a lead like that is kind of a shock to your system. For a team to lose the lead, go to overtime, then regenerate what we had to do, I have to applaud that."
"We were able to get some sort of rhythm going that I don't think we've been able to get consistently in this series so far," Taurasi said. "We gave ourselves a chance to win. Sometimes, it doesn't go your way."
The Mercury went up 85-81 with 3:21 left in overtime, and was still up 87-85 as the clock ticked inside the two-minute mark. Jewell Loyd hit one of her two free throws with 1:31 left, cutting it to 87-86. Bird then drove for a lay-in and an 88-87 lead at the 1:03 mark.
Phoenix had two shots before Alysha Clark secured the rebound for Seattle with 28 seconds left. Bird missed a lay-up try, but the Storm twice won jump balls in the final seconds and went to the line on both. Loyd hit one with 6.1 seconds left, then Bird drained her two at 2.1.
"We have to be disappointed," Mercury coach Sandy Brondello said. "We can't lose on an offensive rebound, a 50-50 ball. We have to get tougher. I'm going to bring up that we didn't bring our best effort for 45 minutes tonight."
Brittney Griner had a double-double of 23 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out with 3:53 left in overtime.
Rookie Jordin Canada, who averaged 5.7 points during the regular season, nearly doubled that in just eight minutes during the first half, pumping in 10 to help spark a 17-8 run that took the Storm from 16-14 down to 33-24 up. Canada finished with 12 points in 15 minutes. The Storm reserves scored just four points on Sunday, but contributed 20 points, 23 rebounds, and four blocked shots on Tuesday. The Mercury got just nine points and seven boards from their reserves in Game 2.
During the regular season, the Storm and Mercury were two of the better-shooting teams from 3-point range. Until the fourth quarter on Tuesday, it had been all Settle from downtown, as the Storm was 7 of 16 from downtown, while Phoenix had missed all 14 of its attempts. But Phoenix then drained five in a row - three straight by Taurasi in the final 1:36 of regulation to help force overtime, then one by Bonner and one more by Taurasi in the first 1:39 to help provide an 85-81 lead. The Storm wound up at 7 of 19; the Mercury hit 5 of 19.
DeWanna Bonner, who had double-doubled in all three playoff games so far for Phoenix, finished with 21 points and nine rebounds. She didn't get into double digits until late in the third quarter. ... Griner had two blocked shots, tying her with Candace Parker for No. 3 on the all-time WNBA playoff list with 76. ... Bird is now above the .500 mark in all-time playoff games. Seattle is 21-20 in postseason play since her 2002 rookie season.
The series shifts to Phoenix for Game 3 on Friday night. The teams played there twice during the regular season, with the Storm winning both: 87-71 on May 23 and 102-91 on July 31.

Local U.S. Forest Service to limit Green Canyon trail use
By Jackson Wilde staff writer
Jackson Wilde
Winter hikers and cyclists will now be required to use certain equipment in Green Canyon to avoid damaging the area's groomed trails.
In a statement released Wednesday, the Logan Ranger District announced it will new require hikers to wear snowshoes and cyclists to use fat tires at least four inches wide. Traditional tires and traditional footwear, according to the statement, are resulting in damage to trails that may take weeks to mend with increasingly sparse snowfall.
"Nordic United and the Forest Service have partnered for many years to offer these opportunities for winter recreation enthusiasts, at no cost to our visitors," said Logan District Ranger Jennefer Parker in the statement. "Maintenance of these trails by Nordic United volunteers involves a great deal of effort. Visitors can help sustain usage of these trails, even during times of limited snowfall, by following the regulations established for winter recreation use."
Nordic United volunteers having been grooming the trails for the better part of two decades, according to Parker. While the new rules largely have to do with mitigating trail damage, Parker told The Herald Journal the rules are also the result of changes in the climate.
"I can remember when I first moved here (nearly 14 years ago) they were occasionally grooming multiple times a week," Parker said, referring to a time when snowfall was more frequent. "Now, they may just groomed and somebody goes up the day after and post-holes up the trail, and (the trail) might be like that for a while."
Parker said the responses to the change have been mixed. While the rule change may displace some recreational users, Parker said Green Canyon's uniqueness is worth preserving.
"We're just asking folks to kind of help protect the amount of volunteer time that's going into providing that opportunity," Parker said.
While educating the public is the current focus, Parker said a regulation will be in place that could result in a citation and fine for those who ignore the changes.
"I'm hoping that people can understand the reason behind why we're having to make these changes," Parker said. "There's a need to try and support the work of what Nordic United is doing."

Mater Dei football, track coach raped female student in 1980s, lawsuit alleges


The 24th century: humankind has become a spacefaring civilization, colonizing the solar system and beyond. While no alien forms of life have yet been encountered in this expansion into space, colonists suddenly encounter machines of alien origin - huge robots able to reproduce themselves. Called replicators by the colonists, they seem to have but a single goal: to destroy all organic life they come in contact with.
Since the colonial governments have no means to fight this menace directly, they instead promise huge rewards to whoever destroys a replicator. As a result, the frontier attracts a new kind of adventurers, the Hunters, who work to find and destroy the replicators. Mike Edwards, a skilled young maintenance technician and robotics expert at a faraway outpost, will not only become one of them - but be the very first one to unlock the secret behind the replicators' origin and mission.
The scientific and technical aspects underlying the plot - in particular space travel, robotics and self-replicating spacecraft - are introduced and discussed by the author in an extensive non-technical appendix.
Professor Giancarlo GENTA, an expert in space flight technology, holds degrees in Aeronautic Engineering and Space Engineering (his thesis was on electric propulsion orbital transfers). Until 1996 he was head of the Mechanics Department of the Politecnico (Technical University) of Turin, in Italy. He is Director of the Italian SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) study center and is a full member of the International Academy of Astronautics. He has written more than 300 scientific papers and 11 scientific books, some used as textbooks in Italian and American Universities and translated into Russian. Among his popular science book are Space: The Final Frontier?, published by Cambridge University Press in 2002, and Lonely Minds in the Universe - The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, published by Springer-Copernicus in June 2007.

Mars One astronaut selection announcement
Today I am on my way to New York City, where I will be serving as the moderator for Mars One's first press briefing. I'll let Mars One explain who they are and what they are trying to accomplish:
Mars One is a not-for-profit organization that will take humanity to Mars in 2023, to establish the foundation of a permanent settlement from which we will prosper, learn, and grow. Before the first crew lands, Mars One will have established a habitable, sustainable settlement designed to receive astronauts every two years. To accomplish this, Mars One has developed a precise, realistic plan based entirely upon existing technologies. It is both economically and logistically feasible, in motion through the integration of existing suppliers and experts in space exploration.
A vision for the Mars One project, whose goal is to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars by 2023.
Tomorrow's press briefing is at 9:00 PDT / noon EDT / 1600 UTC and will contain an announcement about its astronaut selection program. There's a hint as to what this is about on their homepage:
We invite you to participate in this journey, by sharing our vision with your friends, by supporting our effort and, perhaps, by becoming the next Mars astronaut yourself.
I've embedded the webcast player below. Here is who will be on the panel:
Bas Lansdorp, Co-Founder and CEO, Mars One
Gerard 't Hooft, Nobel laureate and Ambassador of Mars One
Norbert Kraft, Chief Medical Officer, Mars One
Grant Anderson, Sr. VP Operations, Chief Engineer and Co-Founder, Paragon Space Development Corporation
Bryan Versteeg, Mission Concept Artist, Mars One
Media who are not present can ask questions via Twitter; I'm not sure yet whether they want to use a hashtag for that or if you're just supposed to @mention them on Twitter (they are MarsOneProject).

You may be wondering what The Planetary Society has to do with Mars One. We are not a sponsor, but we wish them well. We are delighted to see so many privately funded organizations setting their sights on sending humans to space, and we hope that they will succeed.

I hope they really do it! But I wouldn't volunteer to spend the rest of my life in a tent in a deadly desert with very poor internet connection. Surely very exciting the first few days, but then... And I'm afraid the TV viewers they are hoping for, will feel the same. How are they supposed to precision land the modules so close to each other? MSL had a landing ellipse of 20 km by 7 km, inspite of a very elaborate landing system. It reminds me of this brave project from 1897: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._A._Andr%C3%A9e%27s_Arctic_Balloon_Expedition_of_1897 (Even the poor homing pigeon died)
Paul McCarthy: 2013/04/22 01:24 CDT
People here will be ideal to point out the undoubtedly abundant holes in what I wonder below, but then I've wished to have this explained to me for some time, so please excuse my ignorance: To terraform Mars turns out to require vast inputs. To deliver vast inputs, or sufficiently large on-site machinery for vast inputs, over vast distances may well be impractical. Clearly, inputs with maximum possible "leverage" will be required. Making small orbital changes of objects, with (very) long lead-times, is something which may require only small input and therefore offer (very) large leverage. Would a suitable body (presumably a comet) with maximal load of greenhouse precursors like CO2, CH3, H2O, CO etc have a net greenhouse effect if impacted on Mars? Are such diversions possible (even with very long lead-times)? If so, are they possibly the lowest-input terraforming methodology available? Presumably any human settlement would permanently rule-out such an endeavour?
Leonidas Papadopoulos: 2013/04/22 08:17 CDT
Really? I'm really sorry Emily, but IMHO, MarsOne represents nothing more than a circus and a joke, and a really bad one at that! The 'plan' they have developed, is neither 'precire' nor 'realistic' and it's hardly based 'upon existing technologies'. More to the contrary. I don't think that the general public has realised that space exploration is not a 'Big Brother'-type reality show and Mars exploration and colonisation is not TV fantasy, an escapism-type program to watch, to pass the time lightly by. I'm really saddened that this whole endeavor is getting the spotlight, turning true space exploration into a bad joke.
William C: 2013/04/22 03:49 CDT
@ Leonidas Papadopoulos: I don't believe that Mars One is turning space exploration into a joke. I do believe that it is generating interest in space travel. As far as the reality TV angle goes, you are most likely correct regarding it's outcome. However, even if the endeavor never reaches the point of liftoff, it is planting a small seed of an idea in peoples minds that Mars is not out of reach and, perhaps, going there won't seem so nonsensical. I recognize that this is in fact very much a pulp culture angle for human space travel, however, when it comes to the issue of human spaceflight, people must be reached on all mental levels or we will never have a culture where enough people care for anything significant to happen. High brows sharing their interests with other high brows is great and all but stalls out; everyone else has to be dragged in somehow. During the 90's the current healthy and growing state of a commercial spaceflight industry would have seemed far fetched for a date as soon as ours, and now that's unfolding beautifully. In a manner of years Richard Branson, Elon Musk, and the rest... will be sending people to space just for the fun of it. A cultural shift in favor of accepting as normal, and aggressively pursuing human space flight is taking place fast (and finally). This is the perfect time to throw something like this out there, regardless of how it turns out. The sooner popular opinion gets the hoi polloi into space suits, the sooner we will be able to mount efforts in asteroid mining, and when the people of Earth realize how much money is in those rocks the sooner we will reach the stars.
William Why should humans leave Earth? I mean, in our or our childrens or our grandchildrens lifetime? For more than experiments in LEO. A human on the Moon or on Mars is a very very bad idea. Machines could do very much more, much cheaper. Seeing Charlie Chaplin on Mars would only be non-scientific entertainment. NASA must end the useless but prestigious human spaceflight altogether, in order to save real planetary science, considering the coming 30% budget cuts which are mathematically necessary, best case! The "go to MARS ONce" concept, (now recruiting fools) is really great comedy! That would establish it as the planet of death. I do, as you too seem to, hope that they are bluffing and just try to use this joke in order to increase astronomy media interest among children.
@William C: I couldn't agree more and couldn't have said it better myself! My problem is with the concept of MarsOne, not with the concept of opening up space exploration to the general public. IMHO, MarsOne is trivialising the whole thing. They want to turn manned space missions into a reality-TV-type of program. The thing is that space exploration per se, isn't (and can never be) reality TV. Where do I start? Are they so sure that the general public will support them and give them the viewing figures they'd want, after the launch? When the general (non-space interested) public thinks of space, they tend to think of fast-track action, 'shoot-em up' sequences, and exotic and sensual aliens-the stuff that constitutes a typical Hollywood blockbuster. Real-life Mars exploration will be the exact opposite. It won't be 'Star Wars'. Rather it'll be something like '2001'-long and silent orbital maneuvers, 'boring' technical chatter, and vast amounts of 'doing nothing' until you get there-8 or 9 months. Real-life day-to-day living in space won't be like what we see in the movies. I don't want to imply that space exploration is boring and uninteresting, because from my perspective, even a long interplanetary cruise is spectacular, but is it so interesting for the general public? How many people that don't have an interest in space, find '2001' enjoyable and exciting? There's also a historical experience. Even at the height of the Apollo program, when people were going to the Moon (can you imagine something more spectacular?), by Apollo 12, everyone was rapidly losing interest. It took Apollo 13 a near catastrophe, for Apollo to make headlines again. And after that, by Apollo 17, how many were watching anyway? And I have moral issues as well. If MarsOne launches and those behind it ultimately can't support the first crew due to financial reasons. What then? Will we say, 'oh well' and leave everyone on Mars die because everyone else on Earth would have lost interest
@LoveLife: BTW - I like your handle. A little ironic considering our conversation though : p
Bob Ware: 2013/04/23 11:56 CDT
LP, regarding your 'moral issues' paragraph; for this to work they need more than a crew of 4. With 20 - 24 as a crew size they could do it. With multiple Orion Spacecraft centrally docked to a round trip booster post departure they could have a sizeable spacecraft. Upon arrival they would TAD (undock and then separate from the adapter which would house the Mars lander, then dock for crew entry and landing. Once landing is established, prior to the launch window closing, the orbital crew would fly Orion back home and return anyone who decided to get out of the mission. Atleast 20 would have to land. Figure small Orion, crew of 4 or large Orion, crew of 8, 6 small Orion & 6 Landers (12 pilots - 12 others specialists of which 6 are also pilots, 1 per lander. All crew members would have to have a least 2 or 3 specialist training to cover all needs until there are enough colonists planet side) The 2nd flight would be just as staffed. The landers would be added to the infrastructure in some way needed. With the 8 crew Orion spacecraft you could get more on the surface. The more planet side the better the chance for success. 2 pilots to return Orion are needed. 50/50 sex split is also needed, married or close friends. The saying, "The devil is in the details" applies but that can be worked out.
KateMorlie: 2013/04/23 12:08 CDT
This conversation supports the contention that all studies converge at the top: math, philosophy, biology, ...
@ Leonidas Papadopoulos: 2001: Point taken : ) I suppose I should clarify my stance though. I don't actually think their plan would work, and I agree completely that it trivializes human space flight. The problem is that right now, most humans are fully immersed in absolutely nothing but the trivial. I don't think that they will make it as far as getting of the planet and having their reality show in space, what I hope is that between then and when they fade away there may be moments of hype that will, even if only a little, trickle down levels of awareness and create a spark of interest no matter how small. We really need the whole human race on board (so to speak) if we are ever going to make the big push. I suppose I am suggesting manipulative psychology to which I say: Welcome to Earth : P - I fully admit that my stance on this may be completely wrong, but we will soon see. My hope is that one day human spaceflight will be completely trivial--because it will be common and accessible. You could also argue that the respected and legitimate space companies who are promising trips to the edge space including space hotels in just a few short years is just hype. It sounds dubious but it has been well sensationalized and consequently you can find people of all walks who at the very lease think it's "cool". They played that card well. So yes, I support trivializing human spaceflight, but in a strongly demographically targeted and crafty way. I watched the news conference. I found it interesting that all panel members took the time to admit that even they recognize their plan could fall apart at any stage, some seemed to think it was even likely to fail -- but they are aiming for it regardless to see where (if) it fails. BTW - I'm a bit embarrassed about all the typos in my posts. I'm always in a hurry and I have way to much to say sometimes.
@William C: I really appreciate your views towards space travel. I'm a strong advocate myself also! And all the justification you menioned for it, is really valid! These are my personal views as well! I'm really really excited with the Inspiration Mars plan. It's not guarranteed either, but it has infinitely more chances of success than reality TV on Mars! And I really think Dennis Tito is making it for the right reasons as well. What a better way to inspire! He's being both modest and bold with his plan. Now, that's a plan I'd personally would want to sign my name under!
I withdraw my worries concerning the precision landing issue, after having seen this. Anything seems possible to rocket scientists, the sergeons of heaven: http://tinyurl.com/cnu4h9g William C, yes my handle here is chosen for fun. Humans have indeed spread, but nature has made them/us avoid Antarctica completely. Although it's much more hospitable than any place on Mars. That's evolution: Don't go there! It's tried and died... The voluntary Mars graveyard project. I think, that Mr. Columbus and his sailors would've been happier if they could've stayed at home and remotely controlled a robot sailing ship to discover 'India', with a lunch break, instead of almost starving to death on the Atlantic. Finally, I think that the greatest threat to our existance is a gamma ray burst (GRB). I don't worry too much, but about 400 million years ago or so, all life on Earth died at once, except deep sea-stuff, I've read. Could've been a GRB event. Moon or Mars would be no better off.
Emily Lakdawalla: 2013/04/23 02:56 CDT
I don't know if these are the guys who are going to do it, but I predict that the first human mission to Mars is going to look something like this one. NASA is too risk-averse and too unable to plan for the long term ever to try. Maybe China will manage to do it. But a less-funded, riskier, private company is my bet for the ones who will succeed....or die trying. I agreed to host the briefing for Mars One because they are passionate and are concerned about the right things and have the right kinds of partners. If they fail (and they probably will), it will most likely be because they don't raise enough money. I am very happy to see the public vote on whether this is a good idea or not with their wallets. I would rather, of course, have people give that money to The Planetary Society. But it's not my place to choose how other people are to spend their money. If people don't find our message inspiring and they are inspired by Mars One, let them put their money where their passions are. In case you missed it in the press briefing, if Mars One does fail before it ever launches a spacecraft, they plan to transfer any leftover money to like-minded nonprofit organizations, one of which is The Planetary Society. So I guess The Planetary Society actually has a finanicial interest in them failing. I don't care. I do not plan to apply. Like many of you commenting here, I don't feel the need to export humans and our problems into space, and I am happier to see new worlds through robots' eyes than to have the more limited viewpoint on a few humans eking out an existence on Mars. But just because that's what I think, doesn't mean everyone else should think the same, and I hear and understand many people who find inspiration in this program and who are ready to sign up for the trip. Who am I to say they are wrong to feel so inspired?

I have no idea how the comments got removed, but I went in and re-approved them, so they're back. Sorry about that and thanks for pointing it out!
Emily, I appreciate your views on this and your post. My problem with MarsOne (and that's just my personal opinion) is that I feel they're trivialising the whole thing. Also IMHO, I find it immoral to a certain degree. It's like saying 'go to Mars and probably die, and it's OK, as long as we keep our revenues and the bucks keep pouring in and until the TV public likes it'. I understand and sympathise with the public's enthousiasm over this. I'm a really strong advocate myself of human spaceflight and expansion into the cosmos. I also happen to strongly disagree with your point of view that 'just robots and no humans in space are OK', but I respect it. So, IMHO again, I think that MarsOne is sending the wrong message to the public about human spaceflight and that doesn't do the real space endeavour any favours. I don't think that the public has realised what the reality of manned Mars missions would be. And it won't be reality-TV-like. And MarsOne of course isn't communicating that for obvious reasons. The public that digs space exploration feels fed up with 40+ years of coasting on LEO, and is ready to embrace anyone who promises something spectacular beyond that without thinking critically about it for a second. And there's so much dillusional thinking going on about this, that people seem to be living in fantasy land and sayin 'oh, we'll be on Mars in 10 years'. Ian O'Neil has written a really good article on Discovery space news recently about the faults in MarsOnes' plans and it's an interesting read. And concerning your comment about NASA being risk-averse today, you're right to a degree. But this is not just about NASA, but it's about our civilisation as a whole. It's our culture today as a nation and as a world, to be risk-averse and NASA is just part of that. The US went to the moon in the '60s and '70s, but today it isn't the nation that it was then (and so is the rest of the world). In my opinion, it's less, but that's another subject altogether.
Mars is doable but the better plan is the FULL Robert Zubrin plan. (The Mars Society) Should we do his plan? I say yes but the majority (or the the loud minority) will decide. Should Mars One try? Of course but ...
I disagree over the opinion that this a joke and to turn space exploration into a circus. It's a difficult task and a big risk of failure. But they have answered some of the criticism here. Regarding people losing interest in the moon landings. They have stated they are going to concentrate the TV reality show on the persons involved rather than space exploration per see. Regarding the view that this is never going to succeed (so lets distance us from it) What about The SETI project ? Sending a disc and plaque on board the Voyager probe with the idea to tell some aliens about us if they would come across it?
@Jan: Jan, I don't find that the people behind MarOne have answered anything really. They have just made big unverified assumptions. I'm not a rocket scientist or engineer, but I suspect that virtually any sensible rocket engineer would tell you, that there are two goals when designing a mission: a)mission success and b)crew safety. As Bob Ware rightly pointed out in a post above, when you design a mission to jump start a Mars colony with only 4 people, you are severely compromising both goals. Would any engineer in their right mind ever want to do that? Someone would say that based on the MarsOne plan, more launches would follow, to help establish the colony. But since the whole project is based on such highly hypothetical and far from certain revenues of funding, how can anyone be so sure of that? And my question is, if the Apollo missions were based on funding and revenue like the one MarsOne proposes, what would be the fate of any lunar mission after Apollo 11? They say that this is not the same thing. I don't think how it's any different at all. And the biggest offender (besides the whole reality TV concept) IMHO, are their cost estimates. 6 billion for the first mission? Really???! Go tell that to Robert Zubrin, who is a real rocket engineer, designing concepts for Mars missions for over 20 years. Even his own Mars Direct plan, which is a hugely spartan and minimalistic concept in terms of cost and provisions, he calculated it to cost at least 6 times more than MarOne's plan! Didn't anyone inform the MarsOne folks about the countless of past Mars mission concepts and cost estimates made the last 40 years? So, either the guys behind MarsOne are either clueless, so you can call them ignorant, or they are not, in which case you can call them dishonest. There are ways of course to bring costs down, as the space private sector in the US has recently demonstrated, but low-Earth orbit and Mars are two vastly different things. From a point on, there is no cheap.
(I make a second post because of the 1000 characters limitation/post). Do you think any of the people that sign up for the mission really know about the real estimated costs involved for any Mars mission to have a real chance of success? It's a vastly different thing, going on on a mission like lets say Mars Direct (since I brought it up) or another like it, knowing that no matter what, there's a dedicated mission control behind you and that second launch with crews and supplies will, no matter what, come, because the funding for it has already been allocated, so you have at least real chances of succeding and it's a vastly different thing, going on a mission like MarsOne's, where you're basically on your own, and that second mission might never come, probably because the funding might not be reached. So, MarsOne IMHO basically says (and that's why I have huge moral concerns over it): 'sign up for the mission and go, and if the funding keeps coming in, we'll send you more crew and provisions in the future. If not...well, sorry, R.I.P. !'.
What about the point that I tried to make earlier, albeit not very clearly no doubt: Is it the case that any half-baked, one-way, bare-survival-mode human habitation, may well preclude any serious or dramatic terra-forming efforts on Mars, simply because of the presence of human lives, while yielding no benefits whatsoever to humankind? Terraforming is the only plausible(?) way to ever make Mars a more inviting goal (from numerous points of view), so to possibly rule it out, by developing a struggling, otherwise pointless, community of say 100 non-evacuateable adults and infants, seems reckless without proper investigation and assessment of all options.
Zorbonian: 2013/04/28 03:51 CDT
Ah yes. . . welcome to the dark side of capitalism. . .
But I fully agree with Bob Ware and the Robert Zubrin plan. He even addresses artificial gravity in a realistic and practical manner.
@Zorbonian: Yes, I agree too! But, that's exactly the point! If you gonna go for Zubrin's plan or what Bob Ware proposes, so that you can have real chances for a succesful mission, the cost for your first launch won't be just 6 billion dollars! So, if you're making a cost estimate like this, you either don't have a clue about how to design a realistic Mars mission, or you're not being truthful. How much of the general public outside the space community and the folks that sign up dor MarsOne has ever studied past Mars mission concepts and cost estimates so that they can have an idea? Because that's not a video game simulation they're proposing doing. It's Mars colonisation and their very lives for crying out loud. And two last points come in mind: a) when they realise that costs will have to rise above 6 billion in the process, how are they gonna sell that to TV executives whose funding they want? And if you wanna stick to your initial cost estimates, and do things 'cheap', how much of crew safety are you willing to compromise? NASA also tried to do 'faster better, cheaper' in the '90's and lost two robotic Mars missions in a row, because of this. And if a private effort faces a huge cost rise, will anyone still grin when goverment space agencies face similar things? and b) I really don't want to be a bringer of doom and a prophet of disaster, but if a mission like MarsOne launches and things get screwed in the process because of 'cheap', what will that do the rest of Mars exploration? Will the public and the politicians get the idea that Mars missions are impossible and the whole thing get abandoded?
I would think that if they get so far as to send the first four people to Mars then their business model is working. Regarding Zubrins plan (I have read his book) my understanding is that it includes a return trip and development of a nuclear power reactor. Things that significantly raises the price. MO intend to use the falcon heavy rocket which will make space launches more cheap from what I have heard. Also MO is admitting that it's a estimate and it can get more expensive. And regarding the risk to be stranded on Mars I'm quite sure the crews are being fully informed about that risk. The same applied for the Apollo astronauts and from what I have understood the risk for them could not be considered particularly low. I have heard figures of 1 to 3 risks.
Peter Jacobs: 2014/08/14 12:41 CDT
It is often mentioned, that Mars settlements involve a one-way trip. What has not been raised is that this necessitates introduction of the Death Penalty, for crimes harmful to the settlement and possibly, for settlers who may become non-contributory due to age, illness or injury.

Henslee v. Union Planters National Bank & Trust Co.
Under a will, the testator's entire estate was left in trust for his 85-year-old mother during her lifetime, after which certain specific bequests were made and the residue of the estate was to be divided equally among four named charities. The trustees were directed to pay the mother a stated monthly income, even if it should become necessary to invade the corpus of the trust, were further authorized to utilize any portion of the corpus for her "pleasure, comfort, and welfare," and were admonished that the "first object to be accomplished" was to provide for her "in such manner as she may desire." She died three years later without invading the corpus of the trust.
Held: under § 812(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, the charitable bequests were not deductible from the gross estate for estate tax purposes. Merchants Bank v. Commissioner, 320 U. S. 256. Pp. 335 U. S. 595-600.
A federal district court dismissed a suit for refund of federal estate taxes. 74 F.Supp. 113. The Court of Appeals reversed. 166 F.2d 993. This Court granted certiorari. 335 U.S. 811. Reversed, p. 335 U. S. 600.
"beloved mother, Elizabeth Bate Williams, for and during her natural life, with the full power and authority herein conferred."
"I hereby direct both my executors and my trustees to pay to my mother the sum of Seven Hundred Fifty (750.00) Dollars a month to be used by her as she sees fit. In the event the income from my estate is not sufficient to pay the said Seven Hundred Fifty ($750.00) Dollars each month, then my executors and trustees are hereby empowered, authorized, and directed to encroach on the corpus of the estate to pay said amount and to sell any of my property, real or personal, for this purpose."
"In addition to this amount, my said executors and trustees are authorized and empowered to use and expend in their discretion any portion of my estate, either income or principal, for the pleasure, comfort and welfare of my mother."
"The first object to be accomplished in the administration and management of my estate and this trust is to take care of and provide for my mother in such manner as she may desire, and my executors and trustees are fully authorized and likewise directed to manage my estate primarily for this purpose."
cash were left to other named legatees. After these legacies, the balance of the estate was directed to be paid over to four named charities in equal shares.
At the time of the testator's death, the estate was earning a net income of approximately $15,000 per year, $6,000 more than the amount directed to be paid at $750 per month, to the testator's mother. The mother at that time was eighty-five years old, lived on substantially less than $750 per month, and had independent investments worth approximately $100,000 which netted her an income of about $300 per month. A woman of moderate needs and without dependents, she died three years later without having requested respondents to invade the trust corpus in her behalf.
On the authority of Merchants Nat. Bank of Boston v. Commissioner, 320 U. S. 256, the District Court granted the Collector's motion to dismiss. 74 F.Supp. 113. The Court of Appeals reversed. 166 F.2d 993. It held that, notwithstanding the language of the testamentary provision for the "pleasure, comfort and welfare" of the mother, the complaint's allegations of the mother's great age, independent means, and modest tastes raised a triable issue of fact as to whether the trust corpus was threatened with invasion, and the charitable interest hence subject to depletion in favor of the testator's mother.
"salient fact . . . that the purposes for which the widow could, and might wish to have the funds spent do not lend themselves to reliable prediction."
320 U. S. 320 U.S. 256, 320 U. S. 262.
or even the relatively accurate valuations on which the market place might be willing to act are not sufficient."
Merchants Nat. Bank of Boston v. Commissioner, supra, at 320 U. S. 261.
Nor do we think it significant that the trust corpus was intact at the mother's death, for the test of present ascertainability of the ultimate charitable interest is applied "at the death of the testator." Ibid. The charitable deduction is a matter of congressional grace, and it is for Congress to determine the advisability of permitting amendment of estate tax returns at such time as the probable vesting of the charitable interest has reduced itself to unalterable fact.
MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS and MR. JUSTICE JACKSON dissent upon the grounds stated in dissent in Merchants Nat. Bank of Boston v. Commissioner, 320 U. S. 256, at 320 U. S. 263.
26 U.S.C. § 812(d), 53 Stat. 124, 125, as amended by Revenue Act of 1942, § 408(a), 56 Stat. 949, and Revenue Act of 1943, § 511(a), 58 Stat. 74, 75.
"If a trust is created for both a charitable and a private purpose, deduction may be taken of the value of the beneficial interest in favor of the former only insofar as such interest is presently ascertainable, and hence severable from the interest in favor of the private use. . . ."
"If the legatee, devisee, donee, or trustee is empowered to divert the property or fund, in whole or in part, to a use or purpose which would have rendered it, to the extent that it is subject to such power, not deductible had it been directly so bequeathed, devised, or given by the decedent, deduction will be limited to that portion, if any, of the property or fund which is exempt from an exercise of such power."
In view of the express priority accorded the mother's wishes, respondents' fiduciary duty to the ultimate beneficiaries, private and charitable, was ineffective to guarantee preservation of any predictable fraction of the corpus for disposition after the mother's death. The testator, indeed, made the gifts to charity subordinate not only to his mother's interest but to that of all the private beneficiaries, stating in his will that the charitable interest "is a residuary bequest . . . , and is not to infringe on any of the other legacies hereinbefore provided."
". . . [T]he fundamental question in the case at bar is not whether this contingent interest can be insured against or its value guessed at, but what construction shall be given to a statute. Did Congress, in providing for the determination of the net estate taxable, intend that a deduction should be made for a contingency the actual value of which cannot be determined from any known data? Neither taxpayer nor revenue officer -- even if equipped with all the aid which the actuarial art can supply -- could do more than guess at the value of this contingency. It is clear that Congress did not intend that a deduction should be made for a contingent gift of that character."
Humes v. United States, 276 U. S. 487, 276 U. S. 494.
Wisdom too often never comes, and so one ought not to reject it merely because it comes late. Since I now realize that I should have joined the dissenters in the Merchants Nat. Bank of Boston case, 320 U. S. 256, I shall not compound error by pushing that decision still farther. I would affirm the judgment, substantially for the reasons given below. 166 F.2d 993.

Here's a YouTube playlist of some of my favorite videos of 3-ball jugglers. When you hover over the screen, a bar with all of the videos on the list will appear across the bottom.
In one of the videos of Yuta Ushiogi, as one commenter noticed, the balls appear to be juggling him.
Peter Kingsland's 3play is freaky.
This video of Masaki Hirano is the first awesome juggling video I ever saw and still probably is my favorite.
Nono's clowning with 3 balls is hilarious. He also juggles with a puppet.
The video is not viewable!
Thank you for pointing this out! It has been fixed. The first video in the 3-ball playlist was pulled from YouTube, which caused an issue.

Hulsey brings perspective to legislature's focus on expanding mental health
Leigh Hulsey joins the Alabama House of Representatives with a wealth of relevant experience, from owning and operating two small businesses to 14 years of service on the Helena City Council.
And Hulsey will bring a unique perspective to the House as the mother of a son, Cade, on the autism spectrum.
This perspective has led Hulsey to make changes to benefit people with autism in the town of Helena, and she hopes to continue making a difference at the Statehouse.
"It's something the Lord used to create change," Hulsey said.
Hulsey began working with the council and the Helena Police Department to implement training for officers to recognize people on the spectrum or with other mental challenges.
"This training for police and firefighters helps them to be able to recognize people with ASD, PTSD – we call them 'invisible disabilities,'" Hulsey said. "Our Chief of Police was very open to the idea and jumped in…Learning to defend your child is a difficult thing, but it's a beautiful thing for the Lord to sift through these things and make a difference for the future."
Hulsey hopes to expand this training statewide to ensure officers can identify and respond appropriately when encountering a citizen who needs a different approach.
Advertising. Scroll to continue reading.
Hulsey also worked alongside KultureCity, which provides law enforcement training, to create a distinctive license plate that can now be purchased in Alabama to signal to law enforcement that the driver or occupant of the vehicle has an invisible handicap.
The Alabama Legislature has used Covid funds to rapidly expand mental health infrastructure over the past two sessions and Hulsey wants to make sure it remains a priority for the state.
"What I keep hearing about is the mental health crisis in our state that we're facing," Hulsey said. "It is time for our state to put our money where our mouth is; people have to be taken care of… We have had great benefits for our son's mental health, and very little intervention is done because we spent all these years in treatment for him at an early age. But I meet families who did not have access to it and who still have trouble finding standards. It breaks my heart.
Along with mental health, Hulsey identified school choice, infrastructure and inflation as the top three concerns she heard from residents while knocking on doors during the campaign trail.
School choice has been a difficult topic that Republicans have wrestled with, as a bill was introduced last session but did not move forward.
Hulsey said his experience on the campaign trail was that his district was also incredibly divided.
"It's going to make it a little bit more difficult for my district in particular," Hulsey said. "I've spoken to others who have run for other seats, and they're going through the complete opposite; their districts are either very pro-school choice or anti-school choice. Mine seems very divided, at least on the doorstep.
Hulsey suggested the two sides need to come together and find some kind of consensus on how to move forward.
"I think it would be very helpful if opposing parties heard each other's concerns and came to a consensus to give me a better way of how to represent them," Hulsey said. "It's the most divided they've been on any issue, outside of the game."
Along with tackling her district's top concerns, Hulsey said she also enjoys digging on the budgeting side.
"I really appreciate the opportunity I've had to manage taxpayers' money wisely, to know that I'm accountable for all of these things through the experience of the board," Hulsey said. "I want to start diving into this at the state level, start understanding how it works."

While it is essential for parents to be aware of inconsistencies and irregularities in their children's bowel movements, an aspect which admittedly makes the app extremely useful, the social media feature raises concerns of oversharing and the privacy of the child. The developers, however, claim that the social media aspect is merely a way to alert a father who is away at work how challenging taking care of young children at home can be for his wife and will inspire him to help out more often. Presumably, the sharing feature would be exclusive between partners, unless parents are interested in having their broader social circle know of their infant's every bowel movement.
144Lab also pointed out that while Unko Button's default settings are set to record digestive movements, those settings can be altered, allowing users to utilize the gadget for anything from recording exercise regimens to when they last fed pets. A user can, of course, also record their own "unko" if, for example, they have recently suffered from constipation.
The Unko Button is not currently available for purchase. Its creators are trying to raise funds for mass-production through a crowdfunding campaign on the website Makuake. If you'd like to be among the first to use the device, you can pledge 2,520 yen (USD 22.50) to the campaign.
