"His distinctive swooping cloud patterns and rolling hills, together with a complex color palette and uninhibited technique, are expected to captivate his public again and again"
Petley-Jones' art is always an enthusiastic statement of vehement feelings and sensations that natural open spaces can deliver to his artistic sensibilities. Consequently, his paintings disclose to us viewers, the personal expressions of an artistic vision and understanding of the consuming act of painting fed by nature's capacity to inspire. As a continual exploration and dialogue with physical and visual concepts of space and color, the paintings often seem to disctate a bold visual field to the optic nerve entertaining, at the same time, the perfect match between message and form. In his landscapes, the verge between land-water-sky dissolves almost completely, reminding us of a long walk from earth to heaven; and that is exaxtly what this artist performs when laboring on his large scale canvases-it is as if there, in his studio, he sets off in search of the metamorphic moment of transformation from flesh to spirit, trying to capture the life of the mind and heart together as a mix in every drop of paint used and with every methodological decision made. Exceedingly dynamic motions of his brush, swaying between land and sky, invite the viewer to move back and forth within the material and spiritual depths of the works. This is a quality inherent to all his paintings whether they are a reference to atmospheric conditions or to the movement of brush over the canvas, a philosophical questioning of states of existence, or an aesthetic rendering of color field imaging.


7 March, 2017 – Camera manufacturer Basler has now moved its dart board level camera modules with BCON for LVDS interface into series production. The Basler dart camera series stands out for its strongly costoptimized design, resolutions of up to 5 megapixels and tremendous flexibility thanks to various mount options (S-mount, CS-mount and bare board). Just in time for the embedded world tradeshow in Nuremberg, 18 dart camera models with the BCON for LDVS interface and a matching development kit are being sent into series production.
The BCON for LVDS interface technology was custom developed by Basler for use in embedded vision applications, and allows for camera modules to be connected to LVDS-based vision technologies. LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) is a standard interface for high-speed data transmission, although image transmission is not defined here in detail. BCON is used for reliable transfer of image data between camera model and cutting-edge FPGA-based embedded processing platforms (FPGA: Field Programmable Gate Array).
When used in conjunction with a Basler dart board level camera module, the BCON for LVDS interface facilitates the setup and operation of lean image processing systems, which in turn establishes the necessary groundwork for cost savings in the design of embedded vision solutions. Beyond this, developers of embedded systems can switch flexibly and without extra integration costs between various dart camera models with the BCON for LVDS interface.
To simplify integration of a Basler dart board level camera module with BCON for LVDS interface, Basler is also launching its PowerPack for Embedded Vision onto the market at the same time. This development kit is comprised of a Basler dart camera module with the BCON for LVDS interface and 5 megapixels of resolution, a lens, a processing board with Xilinx Zynq®-7010 SoC (System-on-Chip), cables and additional accessories. Beyond this, the development kit contains hardware and software reference implementations to demonstrate FPGA-based image capture by the Zynq SoC as well as connection of a dart BCON camera module to the Basler pylon camera software suite. As such, the development kit serves as a template for the design of complete embedded vision systems, which helps cut initial integration costs massively.


San Diego Venture Group - Biotech Financing is not dead. It's different!
Biotech Financing is not dead. It's different!
Biotech financing has changed in the past few years. Companies want to know is the current public market real? How long will it be open? Should we confidentially submit under the JOBS act? Should we consider an option deal as an alternative to another private round? Just how does royalty financing work at an early stage company?

Montemassi is a village in Tuscany, central Italy, administratively part of the comune of Roccastrada, in the province of Grosseto. It is located on a hill about  above sea level.

The village originated as a fortified village of the Aldobrandeschi family. The Republic of Siena conquered it in the mid-13th century, but in the following century it was held by the Pannocchieschi and the Cappucciani of Sticciano families. In 1328 it was conquered by the condottiero Guidoriccio da Fogliano, fighting for Siena; the event is depicted in a famous fresco in the Palazzo Pubblico of Siena.

In the mid-16th century it became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, following its history thenceforth.

It features a large polygonal rocca and a line of walls.

Der Rio Santa Quitéria ist zusammen mit seinem Oberlauf Rio Central ein etwa 118 km langer rechter Nebenfluss des Rio São Francisco Verdadeiro im Westen des brasilianischen Bundesstaats Paraná.

Etymologie und Geschichte

Der Fluss wurde nach der Heiligen Quiteria genannt, einer Märtyrerin des 2. Jahrhunderts n. Chr., die vorwiegend in Portugal, Spanien und Frankreich sowie im Nordosten Brasiliens verehrt wird.

Geografie

Lage
Das Einzugsgebiet des Rio Santa Quitéria befindet sich auf dem Terceiro Planalto Paranaense (Dritte oder Guarapuava-Hochebene von Paraná).

Verlauf

Das Quellgebiet des Rio Central liegt im Munizip Santa Tereza do Oeste auf 735 m Meereshöhe etwa 8 km nordöstlich des Hauptorts am Straßenkreuz der BR-277 mit der BR-163.

Der Fluss verläuft in nordwestlicher Richtung. Nach etwa 30 km verlässt er das Munizip Santa Tereza do Oeste und bildet die südliche Grenze des Munizips Toledo zu seinem südlichen Nachbarn São Pedro do Iguaçu. Nach 40 km kreuzt er die PR-585. Ab hier trägt er den Namen Rio Santa Quitéria. Er bildet nun die südliche Grenze von Ouro Verde do Oeste zunächst zu São Pedro do Iguaçu und dann bis zu seiner Mündung zu São José das Palmeiras.

Er mündet auf 242 m Höhe von links in den Rio São Francisco Verdadeiro. Er ist etwa 118 km lang.

The Pontiac Fiero isn't a bad car in stock format, but general consensus of the car guys around middle America is that it needs some more forward thrust and they are more than willing to drop whatever iron block monstrosity can be found at the local pick-n-pull for a few bones..but this one might be worth a gander. Find this 1988 Pontiac Fiero V8 offered for $9,995 in Pensacola, FL via hemmings. Tip from BarbPaddles.
The seller states that he dropped it off at "The Fiero Factory" in Alabama...which isn't an actual Fiero factory, but is a third party restorer/customizer of the Fiero. This little mid engine runabout now has a 4.9 liter Cadillac V8, which does have an alloy block, but iron heads because it is the "High Technology Engine" that pushed about 200 horsepower and 275 ft-lbs of torque into a 4-speed auto.
I love getting tangential knowledge from these posts. For example, I just learned that there is a place called "The Fiero Factory" that is just a couple hours south of me, and I will be making a pilgrimage there in the near future. I have a soft spot for 88 Fiero GT's, and V8 engine swaps....put the two together, it's hard to resist.
Fueltruck, it could be argued that when you put an American big block into an American plastic mid-engined car the most bulletproof and cost-effective trannies are going to be slushboxes.
I have had a few muscle cars with automatics that were fun. A shift kit mixed with a performance stall converter can be a blast.
Stan sorry to hear about your foot, glad to hear they glued it back on for you.
I love it when interesting car conversation is afoot.
Timing. Vince just heckled me (offline) for my stubborn insistence on finding a needle-in-a-haystack E38 with stick. This after sending him a link to a sub-£10k 6700 (!) mile example that I rejected on this account. Your thoughts?
Kaibeezy, it sounds as though you might have stumbled upon the lowest-mile manual E38 left in existence. Love the idea of a big car offering the row-it-yourself option.
Fueltruck......actually one of the perks of the 4.9 Caddy conversion is that it bolts right up to the standard Fiero manual gearbox, no adapter needed. Just happened to learn that as I went down the rabbit hole after reading this post.
No kidding? Cool. I would've thought that there's no way the stock manual gearbox could take the torque from the bigger engine. Well, keeping that would be a no-brainer in my book.
@Fueltruck - Alas, my wordfoo was weak. I rejected that E38 on account of it being the usual automatic.
I'm still trying to get my bearings on the premium in terms of cost uptick for the stick. Heck, could be a downtick. And/or the impact in terms of how long it sits around, could be longer due to few people looking for one, or could be shorter due to the scarcity.
I know we have posted stick E38's here on DT over the years, but it's possible those were gray-marketed over from Germany. I'm stuck with the stick population among RHD examples, which is bound to be almost zero, although I know for a fact it's not actually zero.


As final year students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, graduate from the institution, a student with the name Morayo Samson Popoola (Sir Moraa) has celebrated writing his final paper in a grand style yesterday, November 14th, 2018.
The student was seen putting a round neck with the description, "I am Atikulating into a better life", uses Dangote Cement bag as his trouser.
Could have made the history being a student of History and International Studies?.
He made his own signing out unique and uncommon in the institution.

Aziza Browne has been making jewelry since she was a little girl. Not only does she love making it, she also loves wearing it! Aziza has always loved making beads and began making beads from polymer clay and designing jewelry with those first few clay beads when she was about 8 or 9 years old. She says, "I think I've always been a bit of an entrepreneur first selling my jewelry to friends and family at the age of 10."
After studying Fine Art in college and receiving a BFA, Aziza decided to continue her education and pursue her dream of learning how to work with glass on a flamework torch.
She fell in Love immediately! Aziza says, "It was scary, fun, and exhilarating." After taking several classes in lampworking, and fusing glass, and mastering it, she began using it in her own personal jewelry and wearing it. Once friends, family, co-workers and even passerby's on the street wanted what Aziza was wearing, she knew she had to make it available for sale, and so Aziza Jewelry was born.
Along the way...She says she's had so many wonderful opportunities, including working for a very large international luxury jewelry company and a spiritually inspired NYC based jewelry company. After deciding to get special training in lampworking and metal-smithing, pmc, and glassfuseworking, Aziza ventured out on her own and began creating and selling her jewelry at craft shows. When the demand picked up, she started selling online.
Aziza says she is very interested in empowering other creative people to become fully and powerfully self expressed whether thats by expressing themselves through personal style or accessories or by creating art themselves.


Dream Interpretation – where to start?
Dream interpretation from our many different dreams can become a useful resource on the spiritual journey. To reach dreaming state, our brains go through a complex series of events or stages in order to be able to dream.
During the majority of the time when we fall asleep our brains are in Slow Wave Sleep (SWS) "characterized by large, slow brain waves, relaxed muscles and slow, deep breathing, which may help the brain and body to recuperate after a long day" (Scientific American).
After SWS, Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep begins. The biological reasons for REM sleep are still unknown and remain largely a mystery to the scientific community.
What we do know about REM sleep is that our brains become very active, our breathing and heart rate become erratic, yet our muscles become paralyzed.
This may be one reason why some sleepers refer to the scary phenomenon of 'sleep paralysis', where their brain wakes up with a start, but their body is unable to move for a few minutes.
So amongst of this information, when we have dreams, where can we start with dream interpretation?
During one of my previous lives as a program planner at Channel 4 in the UK, I visited a local book store during my lunch break because I was having a series of lucid dreams and wanted to interpret them.
This book is still in my collection, now yellowed with age, and continues to give me insightful and reliable results – Dreamer's Dictionary by Robinson, Stearn, Corbett, Tom (1986) Mass Market Paperback .
When I bought the book back to the office, one of the other commissioning editors asked me what I was reading and made fun of the concept of dreams guiding us in any way. To push her point home, she asked me about her dream of the night before – a black bull in a bullring.
You have some tough competition facing you in business and/or love if your dream featured this animal, unless it was very light or white, in which case you'll have a stroke of great luck when you least expect it. If you dreamed of a bull-fight, you are being warning to take decisive action to clear up an unpleasant personal situation.
This lady went bright red and ran into her office, banging her door shut. Oh, dear. Well, she did ask!
Her assistant said that the dream interpretation was very accurate and related to an existing difficult personal relationship her boss was having with a significant other.
This book still does not disappoint! I used it only today to help somebody interpret a dream which seemed on the surface to be a distressing or negative dream.
Our subconscious can work through problems in many unusual ways in an attempt to help our intuition and I believe dreaming is one of those ways.
Another form of dreaming I believe we can take a bit more literally is lucid dreaming. Lucid dreams are characterized by being very clear, from the visions received in the dream to the feelings experienced during the dream, even sensations of movement and sounds heard while dreaming.
It's a good idea to journal lucid dreams. Perhaps you dreamed of a journey or being with a specific group of people, perhaps even taking part in a ceremony or ritual.
I believe these types of dreams can come from our Spirit Guides, Soul Group or other dimensions of experience, to help and inform us in some way. I take Lucid Dreams of mine into my own Akashic Records for a more accurate dream interpretation.
When a Loved One has passed, it is often common for us to dream about them in some way. If the Loved One suffered an illness before they passed, often they will appear as well and healed from any sickness they had in life.
Loved Ones can also appear in a familiar place in your dream, such as a family home, holiday location or simply in a beautiful meadow.
I believe that during dreams we can raise our vibration to meet that of our departed Loved Ones, while they lower their energetic vibration slightly to connect with us. This place in the middle is often referred to as 'SummerLand'.
I often visit my mother in our old family house in Summerland. We take tea and share time together in a place that is familiar to both of us. I can easily dream of my old family house, walk down the front path, or come in through the garage and back door as I used to so that we can connect.
Dreams of Loved Ones are intended to comfort and heal us, and send us the message that our Loved Ones are still with us in spirit, just a slight rise in vibration away.
Let me know of your favorite dream interpretation resource, or tell me about a striking dream you have had recently, and if you have been able to interpret it to help you grow.

OptinMonster* is a powerful option here. I've mentioned it in the WordPress plugins above and that's how OptinMonster started out. It's now a fully fledged cloud app that supports both HTML and WordPress. It provides a great overview for all of your list building efforts and makes it easy to deploy split tests with a few clicks. Pricing starts at $19/month (or $9/month when paid annually).
Once you've got this list inside your GetResponse account, you need to make sure that people are actually excited to hear from you.
I totally agree that building a list "straight from the off", is very important. Time should be put aside to develop the list on a daily basis, as it should probably be your top priority. There is no point in producing products to sell unless you have a list to "sell" to.
At the start of my online career i used to think that list building has no benefits but after doing some research on the topic and starting with the link building thing i came to knew it's importance. It's really necessary for website and blog owners to build lists or they'll just let their selves down because list building is the game changer when Search Engines and Social Media doesn't work for you.
These days, it's rare to find a high-traffic website that doesn't have some type of featured opt-in incentive. This could be an Ebook, swipe file, white paper, resource list, free software tool, or any number of content types, but all of them serve as opt-in incentives for acquiring email subscriptions.

Canadians likely to be targeted by foreign actors in next election, cyber agency says
By Lee Berthiaume
OTTAWA — The federal cybersecurity agency is warning that Canadians are likely to run into some effort by foreign actors to influence or otherwise interfere with their right to vote in the next election.
The Communications Security Establishment also says in a new report released on Friday that holding an election during the COVID-19 pandemic could increase the threat of foreign interference because of the need to move more parts online.
But it expressed confidence in Elections Canada, saying: "While any modifications to the electoral process have the potential to increase the cyber threat, we assess that the planned changes do not substantially expand the cyber threat to Canada's democratic process."
The CSE report comes only weeks before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to kick off a federal election, sending Canadians to the polls for the second time since 2019.
Such an election will almost certainly look different than anything Canada has seen before because of the pandemic, with more activities and processes being moved online to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
One specific area of concern identified by the CSE was around an expected increase in the number of Canadians who vote by mail, with the agency warning foreign actors could try to use that as a way to undercut confidence in the election results.
"We assess that it is very likely that false information connecting voting by mail to voter fraud will circulate in Canada in relation to the next federal election," according to the report.
The CSE nonetheless believes such "false narratives" will pale in comparison to the rampant allegations of voter fraud during last year's U.S. presidential election, which were often perpetuated by Donald Trump and his supporters.
And while the CSE believes most Canadians will experience some type of attempt to influence them, it says Canada "remains a lower-priority target for online foreign influence activity relative to some other countries."
The fact that Canada's federal elections remain paper-based is also held up as a major reason for confidence along with what CSE describes as Elections Canada's "robust" defences and several other measures adopted by the government in recent years.
The CSE report blames the majority of online attacks and threats to democratic processes in Canada and other parts of the world since 2015 on foreign governments, with most perpetrated by actors within Russia, China and Iran.
Canada is a potential target, according to the report, because of its active role on the world stage, which can have an impact on other countries, foreign groups and individuals.
"Threat actors may use cyber tools to target Canada's democratic process to change election outcomes, influence policy-makers' choice, impact governmental relationships with foreign and domestic partners, and impact Canada's reputation around the world," it said.
And while Canada may have good defences and not be a major target now, the CSE said a growing number of actors have the tools, capacity and understanding of this country's political landscape to take action in the future "should they have the strategic intent."
The number of attacks on elections around the world rose substantially between 2015 and 2017, according to the CSE, but has since stabilized. And while the threats have become more sophisticated, so have the measures adopted by governments to protect themselves.
Voters are more frequently targeted than political parties and actual elections, the CSE added, likely because foreign actors believe it is easier and more effective.
And while political parties and candidates will likely be targeted in the next vote, "we assess that this activity is very unlikely to be part of a sophisticated cyber campaign against a particular Canadian political party or candidate."

Wine lovers can once again dedicate a whole month to one of the great varieties of the Carpathian Basin: furmint. Besides wine shows, a great number of restaurants will offer furmint on their wine lists in February.
This month for the ninth consecutive year is Furmint February when we are celebrating furmint. This was the first ever initiative in Hungary to turn the spotlight on a single variety with dedicated events all through the month. Starting last year 1 February is also the date of the International Furmint Day and in 2018 it coincides with the Big Furmint February Tasting to be held at Vajdahunyad Castle in the City Park of Budapest.
At the Big Furmint February Tasting visitors can taste at least 150 wines from close to 100 wineries. The wines on offer will definitely include sparkling wines and the lovers of sweet wines and aszús are going to have a field day as well. The majority of the exhibitors will represent Tokaj the wine region with the greatest tradition in growing furmint however thanks to new plantings of the variety in the last decade more and more wine regions join the furmint camp. Besides Somló, another region with longstanding furmint tradition, the wineries of Eger, Balaton, Pécs and other regions in neighbouring countries will be offering their wines to visitors.
Due to the limited capacity of the special location visitors are well-advised to buy tickets in advance. The Big Furmint February Tasting is a great opportunity to get a comprehensive picture of the variety and to make an imaginary journey covering the best wine regions of the Carpathian Basin with glass in hand.
Tickets booked in advance: HUF 9.900, to book your tickets click here.

Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) signed a contract to purchase 450,000 gallons of advanced drop-in biofuel, the single largest purchase of biofuel in government history.
U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) signed a contract to purchase 450,000 gallons of advanced drop-in biofuel, the single largest purchase of biofuel in government history. While the Navy fleet alone uses more than 1.26 billion gallons of fuel each year, this biofuel purchase is significant because it accelerates the development and demonstration of a homegrown fuel source that can reduce America's, and our military's, dependence on foreign oil.
The Defense Department will purchase biofuel made from a blend of non-food waste (used cooking oil) from the Louisiana-based Dynamic Fuels, LLC, a joint-venture of Tyson Foods, Inc., and Syntroleum Corporation, and algae, produced by Solazyme. The fuel will be used in the U.S. Navy's demonstration of a Green Strike Group in the summer of 2012 during the Rim of the Pacific Exercise (RIMPAC), the world's largest international maritime exercise.
As part of his energy security goals, outlined in March 2011 in the "Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future," President Obama directed the Departments of Agriculture, Energy and Navy to work together to advance a domestic industry capable of producing "drop-in" biofuel substitutes for diesel and jet fuel. Responding to that challenge, in August 2011, the Secretaries of Agriculture, Energy and Navy announced an intention to invest up to $510 million during the next three years in partnership with the private sector to produce advanced drop-in biofuel to power military and commercial transportation. While that investment awaits Congressional action, today's announcement uses the existing authority – leveraging Defense Department procurement – to support this energy security goal.
The biofuel will be mixed with aviation gas or marine diesel fuel for use in the Green Strike Group demonstration. It is a drop-in fuel, which means that no modifications to the engines are required to burn the fuel. Its cultivation did not interfere with food supply and burning the fuel does not increase the net carbon footprint. In preparation for this demonstration, the Navy recently completed testing of all aircraft, including F/A-18 and all six blue Angels and the V-22 Osprey, and has successfully tested the RCB-X (Riverine Command Boat), training patrol craft, Self Defense Test Ship, and conducted full-scale gas turbine engine testing.
DLA will pay half the price for the Green Strike Group biofuel than it paid for biofuel for testing in 2009. Increased demand will likely continue this trend toward more cost-effective biofuel. Renewable jet fuel produced by Dynamic Fuels has already been used in regularly scheduled commercial airline flights by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Finnair, Thomson Airways, and Alaska Airlines.
"This contract clearly demonstrates that we're building momentum for the continued commercialization of advanced renewable fuels production here in the U.S.," said Andy Rojeski, a management committee member for Dynamic Fuels, a joint venture between Tyson Foods, Inc. and Syntroleum Corporation. "We believe the federal government's commitment to procure more energy from renewable sources will help make our high performance, environmentally friendly fuel more cost competitive, potentially creating more jobs in the biofuels industry."

Is deleted data really deleted?
It is often believed that moving a file to the rubbish bin, and emptying it is a permanent deletion. After all, Windows and other operating systems ask if you would like to permanently delete the items inside when you attempt to empty the bin. They may also say that the files cannot be recovered after deletion. Both statements are misleading and false.
When a file is deleted on most operating systems, the only item that is truly deleted is the reference file. The reference file only pinpoints were in your operating system the date for the file is. The data itself is still on the operating system and can be recovered by governments, hackers, people with your stolen device or yourself with free software such as Recova, Puran File Recovery and many others. The data is recoverable until it's overwritten. Something which may never occur on large disks. This may be a serious blow to privacy and security, of individuals who handle sensitive information on their devices. Fortunately there are options.
Encryption: By encrypting files and operating systems deleted data is already scrambled. If it were recovered it would be unreadable and would not be useful to hackers or investigators.
Secure deletion: Secure deletion not only deletes the reference file, but scrambles, or replaces the bits of data (the binary 0s and 1s your files are made of) on your hard drive with zeros. No recovery tool is able to recover scrambled or zeroed data. Unfortunately Windows doesn't offer a secure deletion feature and third party software is required to safe delete. Eraser does the job with relative ease and efficiency for Windows. It is an open source program available on sourceforge for free. After it's installation right click folders or files and hover over eraser. Then select erase. The file will be safely deleted and will truly be permanently deleted.
Unfortunately Eraser only has a Windows version. For Linux alternatives click here or go to the link below.

Most eco-conscious people think about planting trees or attending an Earth Day fair on April 22 every year. So, why would you celebrate Earth Day with a dumpster? It's a fair question, but the answer is fairly simple – you can reduce the amount of refuse that goes to landfill by renting a dumpster and collecting recyclable materials, especially materials that are toxic to the environment.
Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970, back when there was no Environmental Protection Agency or Clean Water Act to regulate pollution. However, it was 20 years later that Earth Day saw an upswing in popularity thanks to the efforts of environmental leaders who worked to bring a worldwide focus on the day to celebrate the earth.
Anyone who has gone through a remodel or a massive cleanup can tell you the amount of refuse that is generated can be overwhelming. From kitchen remodels to basement clearing/cleaning to new landscaping – the tons of material can be a burden unless the right solutions is in place.
Some municipalities offer special spring-cleaning programs that give residents the option to bring their junk to the curb, but it can be too much of a burden for trash crews due to non-residents taking advantage of the program. Highland Park, for example, offers four spring-cleaning pickup days in April, but the city council is prepared to shut that program down in favor of a different one that would be more efficient.
Some fortunate residents, like those in Provo, Utah, can take advantage of free dumpsters placed throughout the city from the end of March to the beginning of May – perfect timing for spring cleaning. Not all items are acceptable though, including various landscaping materials, appliances, tires and concrete, which means these folks might still require the services of a dumpster rental company to get them through their spring-cleaning project.
Most states have a department of environmental quality or something akin to it that addresses illegal dumping and littering and the ramifications that go along with it. For instance, Illinois' Environmental Protection Agency addresses everything from safe disposal of pharmaceuticals and medical sharps to electronic waste recycling to waste disposal.
Regardless of the reason, the side effects of illegal dumping are very real. The Illinois EPA partners with other state departments in an effort to prevent illegal dumping because of the potential threat to public health and the environment. Illegal dumping goes by a variety of names, including fly dumping, open dumping, midnight dumping.
1) Recycling programs got there start in an effort to reduce waste.
A survey in the mid-1990s revealed that Americans thought trash was the nation's top environmental problem, and nearly 80 percent of those surveyed said recycling could be a way out of the problem. This myth/belief system rose out of EPA regulations in the 1980s that caused a shift in the waste disposal industry, which began moving to larger landfills, thus causing the number of smaller landfills to go out of business. While the number of landfills might have dropped, the amount of landfill capacity certainly didn't.
2) Energy costs associated with transporting recyclables negate the benefits of recycling.
Sure, there are costs, both environmentally and economically, that impact recycling efforts related to transporting materials from the curb to recycling plants. However, it's really a fraction of the energy it takes to turn those recyclables into something usable. For instance, to manufacture products from a ton of recyclables takes 10.4 Btu. Collecting, hauling and processing a ton of the same materials only adds up to .9 million Btu.


I have 2 different virtuell machines 5.1), one is working fine. They are copies.
In my machine2 (the one with problem) i cant raise any profibuslarm and when i look in the program at object ProcessObjectsAE (standard object) it stuck with AEError=true and AIState=2 and dont change no matter what i do.
I have compared the two machines services in windows, ServiceStructure, EventCollectors and so forth.
AEError = problem in your application code/settings, not the HMI.
Illegal characters in source name?
Look in CBM Online Help for allowed characters and maximum allowed lengths of source and condition names. Eg. space character is not allowed, probably not any of the Swedish 'åäö' either.
The alarm message text is more liberal.
Use NLS in case you need special characters. Download short tags instead, eg "||NLSTAGxx", the tags are translated by NLS Resource Manager Aspect(s) in the HMI before being presented.
In CondNameObjError on ProcessobjectAE i changed "Osäker signal" till "Uncertain signal" and it worked after a couple of downloads.
Space is not allowed neither.


Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said that the national legislation on local elections should be reviewed and if necessary, amended until 2020.
He stated this when speaking at the forum dedicated to the issues of local self-government and united territorial communities, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
"We need to analyze the national legislation on local elections. Perhaps there are shortcomings that should be corrected until the next elections set for 2020. That is, to review the system, to find shortcomings, to introduce amendments so that the system be proper," said Groysman.
According to the prime minister, attention should also be focused on improving the system of coordination of powers of local authorities.


MOSCOW (Sputnik) - A magnitude 5.4 earthquake struck the Indonesian island of Sulawesi on Sunday, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said.
The shallow quake was registered 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) northwest of the town of Pendolo. The epicenter lied at the depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).
There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. Indonesia is part of the so-called Ring of Fire, an area in the Pacific Ocean where the most active tectonic plates are located.
Earlier in the day the Xinhua news agency reported citing Thailand's Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation that a tsunami alert was declared on Saturday in six provinces of Thailand after two earthquakes in the Indian Ocean.


I purchased a Manduca carrier on Saturday and it was so easy. Brooke came around and showed me how to use it and do some different carries and I felt confident when she left. I've been using it all weekend, bub and I love it!
Babywearing can seem very intimidating at first, but Brooke is very resourceful with her knowledge and the variety of wraps and carriers she stocks. I first purchased a consultation with Brooke and left one happy momma with the right carrier for my daughter and me. After I purchased my Manduca from Brooke, I went back to her again for my Fidella fly tai. I wanted a specific pattern and size, and she was able to get it to me very quickly than I anticipated. Brooke gets just as excited for you when purchasing a carrier for you and your bub. She is truly passionate and loves what she does.


The final portfolio post this month is a slide from a 16×9 high-def show (1920x1080px projection onto 28′ wide screen). The template design was subtle gradients with stylized swooshing lines (used in the collateral materials for the meeting).
What makes this slide stand out is the photoshop work. The 'LS' chroming and drop shadow was applied to standard text (using the provided Lexus font). Each car was cutout to remove the background (and keeping wheels looking round and proper is not an easy task). The text was done in PPT 2007 with a custom bevel effect. And the nice animation entrance cannot be seen in the static image – but it was nice too.
With this project I received a "raw" presentation and was tasked with developing a new template and updating all of the slides. The great thing about the presentation is the content for each slide was very minimal, allowing it to be big – dominant – and on a dynamic template.
This project was for a university program. They needed a template that integrated their school colors, but was lively-energetic-modern-cool. That was the direction provided and from there I was able to go in any direction. I developed 5 concepts and this was the one selected.
The full frame layout is unique in that generally this style master slide removes the title bar to allow room for images/charts that need the full frame. In this template the title are is actually defined by the absence of the content area. So the Full Frame slide has the content area extended, creating a full canvas for content.
Of course there is a lot of competing visuals with a template like this. The background is full of contrasting, dominant shapes. It has a definite flow that draws the eye across the slide (from left-right). Lots of small text could easily become lost. And this would not be first choice for "standard" corporate template.
For this project I was provided the full (raw) presentation before any design work began and was able see the type of content. Because the content was large, minimal and to-the-point (eg. no inserted 200 cell excel charts or 20 bulleted lines) I was able to go with a more dominant and visual template design.
If you have boy, age 6-12, you a probably familiar with Secret Saturdays. This is a new cartoon series on Cartoon Network and with my 3 girls I was forced to enjoy some research watching several episodes to get in touch with my inner adventurous boy before developing this marketing template.
Working with entertainment properties, especially animated properties, is great. They have all the visual assets needed. And they are all high-res and layered (so no background).
Definitely not your standard corporate template – and I bet these presentations are more fun to sit through!
I did a series of print design projects and this is one piece from them. Working from a hand drawn diagram I recreated the flowchart and content in the coordinated colors and design scheme.
This is a standard US Letter size piece that was supplied to the client as a print-ready PDF that could be used on the local color printer or sent to a print shop for large volume printing, all from the same file as there is no 'bleed' (color extending to the edge), which was a purposeful element of the overall design.
Here is the title slide from a recent PowerPoint template project. This one was great, because after it was approved the same design was then applied to other departments/divisions each disquinshed by having their own color scheme (eg. blue, tan, yellow tinting vs. the green tinting in this one).
For the project I was supplied with some great Disney art elements such as the Disney logo and the stars which I turned into a star trail that framed the text area and added a feeling of motion.
This is just 2 quick slides from a recent project, that were actually supplied to client before the real production began. The request was what could be done with all of the supplied images to give them a professional and consistent appearance.
I took this supplied image and first removed the background. I worked in Photoshop to do this. PPTs eyedropper would be an option, but it would remove any of the white inside the towers, which would really affect the right one. In Photoshop with the background removed it was saved out as a .png with transparency. The reflection was applied in PPT 2007.
I also grouped in another image (far right) to show how multiple images could easily be added to the layout, which was not an option with the opaque background on the originals.
This is the lecture mentioned in the previous post. This is a great use of PowerPoint and is a great teaching tool!
1. Raw video recording of the instructor/presenter (recorded by professional video crew with monitored audio recording).
2. PowerPoint slide deck instructor used.
1. Edit video to remove long pauses, audience comments (no handheld microphone for audience, so to quiet to hear on recording), pan & zoom (crop) to bring presenter to full screen (especially important as video of instructor is small).
2. Optimize PowerPoint deck for use in video.
3. Sync lecture and slides (this is time consuming when there is no cue sheet or wide angle recording to see both the presenter and the projected slides – but I did learn a lot about molecular genetics as I listened to the full lecture 3-4X's!).
4. Setup the interactive table of contents.
5. Render video(s), which were .flv format. Instructor at 29.97 FPS and slides at 5 FPS.
6. Prep for CDROM playback.
7. Prep for local computer (hard drive) playback.
8. Develop custom installer to automate process of copying files to computer, creating shortcuts, etc.
9. Develop the launch/install app. outlined in previous post.
The actual project was a multimedia video lecture (highlighted in next post). But to provide a professional piece and give the end user a visual interface this 'Launch and Install' application was developed. The end user received a CDROM and when they insert the CDROM this user-friendly application automatically runs.
The Launch-&-Install application gives an intuitve graphic interface to running the lecture from the CD, installing the lecture files onto their computer, or viewing a quick tutorial on the lecture playback controls and options.
On the technical side, the application runs in a 800x600px window that is moveable and weighed in at just over 1MB.
Many projects need to have multiple items all coordinate. Here is the CD label from a multimedia project that I used the same visual elements and layout style for a Launcher Application, video lecture series and this CD label.
This is the client proof which shows the center of the CD and a keyline around the actual circumfrence. The graphics extend beyond the actual CD size to give the printing process 'bleed' just in case the printing is not perfectly centered. The final print-ready file that goes to the printer does not include either of the black overlays.

Charley Hull fires 67 to lead LET opener in Abu Dhabi
By Keith Jackson
Charley Hull has made a superb start in Abu Dhabi
Charley Hull made a bright start to her 2019 campaign as she claimed a two-shot lead after the first round of the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open in Abu Dhabi.
Hull coped well with the blustery conditions at the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club and kept a bogey off her card in an opening five-under 67 which gave her the early advantage in the first event of the new Ladies European Tour season.
The 22-year-old began her round with a 15-foot putt for birdie at the 10th, and she picked up further shots at 11 and 13 before holing from 10 feet for another gain at the 16th to race to four under.
Hull raced to four under but added only one further birdie
The putts dried up for Hull over the front nine, although she did convert an excellent tee shot to four feet at the short sixth and parred safely home to stay two clear of Nicole Broch Larsen and Luna Sobron on a day when only 12 players broke par.
"I played pretty steady and holed a few putts and then, on my back nine, I plodded along," said Hull, who is without a win since the CME Group Tour Championship in November, 2016. "I was hitting good putts which lipped out, so the highlights were on my front nine."
Hull admitted she was still adapting to her new equipment, adding: "The new irons are not quite where I want them to be. They are spinning loads and I don't really like it.
"I've changed my set of irons this week and I'm trying them out, but they are going a club shorter so I'll change back to my old ones when I get home. I'll practise my punch shots and figure out how to keep them low."
Larsen got off to a torrid start as she bogeyed three of the first four holes and turned in 39, but the Dane produced an outstanding fightback on the back nine and stormed home in just 30 blows, with six birdies.
Jodi Ewart Shadoff is three shots off the lead
"I got off to a bad start to say the least," said Larsen. "I hit some bad shots and couldn't find the rhythm. On the back nine, I started to hit some better shots and gained some confidence, so I was good at judging the wind on the back nine."
Hull's Solheim Cup team-mate, Jodi Ewart Shadoff, carded a solid 70 to share fourth with Rebecca Artis and Cajsa Persson, but defending champion Aditi Ashok struggled to a four-over 76 after she followed a double-bogey seven at the 15th with bogeys at each of the last two holes

Experiments in Xenopus embryo extracts reveal that changes in cellular biochemistry cause mitotic spindles to decrease in size over the course of early development.
One of the many fibs our teachers told us for our own good is that animals are all the same at the cellular and molecular level despite their apparent outward differences. Thinking in that mindset, it's okay to study how 'the cell' works without worrying too much about which particular cell one is considering. In addition to being helpful when preparing for exams in introductory biology courses, this fiction has practical benefits for scientists. Focusing on the features that cells have in common has enabled researchers to make great advances by studying the organisms most amenable to their question and method of choice, and to synthesize information to obtain coherent pictures of biological processes. In reality, there is variation throughout all of biology, including at the cellular and molecular levels, and even the most basic cellular processes, such as the mechanics of cell division, can differ dramatically between animal cells. There can even be large variations between different cells of the same organism: it has been known for more than a hundred years that spindles, the structures that segregate chromosomes during cell division, show great variations in size and shape over the course of development (Wilson, 1897). Very little is understood about the origins of this variation—which might have important implications for development, evolution and human health. Now, writing in eLife, Jeremy Wilbur and Rebecca Heald of the University of California at Berkeley offer important insights into the mechanisms that underlie these changes in spindle morphology (Wilbur and Heald, 2013).
Embryos undergo multiple rounds of rapid division during early development in many animals, and as the cells become progressively smaller, so too do the spindles that are responsible for their divisions (Figure 1). Recent studies of these early divisions in Xenopus laevis (Wuhr et al., 2008), C. elegans (Hara and Kimura, 2009; Greenan et al., 2010) and mouse (Courtois et al., 2012) have produced many interesting results, but the underlying causes of these changes in spindle size remain unclear. Since both cell size and spindle size decrease, it is tempting to think that there is some causative relationship between the two phenomena: that the confines of a smaller cell make spindles smaller, perhaps due to mechanics (Hara and Kimura, 2009) or the depletion of a limiting pool of cytoplasmic components (Goehring and Hyman, 2012). However, this is not the only possibility. It could be that changes in cellular biochemistry during early development give rise to smaller spindles through processes that are not connected to cell size. Understanding which of these scenarios is correct has been challenging.

To appreciate how fiendishly difficult this problem is, it is important to realize that the standard usage of two of the mainstays of modern cell biology research, namely inferring causation by 1) detecting co-occurrence of a protein and a phenotype and 2) perturbing the activity of a protein and examining the effect on a phenotype—cannot be used to rigorously establish the mechanisms controlling differences in spindle size. An extreme example illustrates this point: spindles are primarily composed of microtubules, which are in turn composed of the protein tubulin. Thus larger spindles contain more tubulin (co-occurrence) and depleting tubulin will reduce spindle size (perturbation), but this does not mean that changes in tubulin are responsible for changes in spindle size during development. Rather, these results suggest only that changes in tubulin could affect spindle size, not that they actually do so.
Wilbur and Heald overcome these difficulties through a powerful and conceptually straightforward approach: they prepare extracts from embryos at different developmental stages and assemble spindles in these extracts. They find that spindles in the extracts are the same size as the spindles in the embryos the extracts were made from, even though the extracts lack cell boundaries. This proves that changes in the size of the spindle are caused by changes in the state of the cytoplasm and are not directly controlled by cell size (at least in this system). This leads us naturally to the next question: how do changes in the cytoplasm produce changes in spindle size? To address this issue, Wilbur and Heald first characterize the behaviors of microtubules grown off of centrosomes—structures that nucleate microtubules—in the extracts. They observe that microtubule polymerization is similar in the different extracts, but that microtubules switch to a depolymerizing state, or 'catastrophy', at a higher rate in later stage extracts. It has been argued that modifying microtubule catastrophy rates can change spindle length (Ohi et al., 2007; Loughlin et al., 2010), presumably by altering the lengths of microtubules, suggesting that the decrease in spindle length during early development might be caused by the increase in catastrophy rate. However, differences in microtubule lengths cannot be the whole story because spindles from early stage extracts are not just longer; they are also wider and appear denser, suggesting that they contain far more microtubules than late stage spindles.
Next, Wilbur and Heald use a candidate approach to attempt to discover which cytoplasmic factors are responsible for the differing rates of microtubule catastrophies in the different extracts. They identify one protein known to increase microtubule catastrophies, namely the kinesin-13, kif2a, as being enriched on spindles in late stage extracts, and use perturbation experiments to argue that kif2a contributes to the differences in spindle size. However, the concentration of kif2a is the same in early and late stage extracts, which means that if kif2a is causing differences in the extracts, this must be because its activity is being regulated differently. Wilbur and Heald provide evidence that this regulation could be performed by importin α, which inhibits kif2a. They argue that over successive cell divisions importin α becomes increasingly sequestered in membranes, causing the cytoplasmic concentration of free importin α to decrease. This leads to an increase in kif2a activity, and thus an increase in microtubule catastrophy rates. This is a clever suggestion, as it offers a possible mechanism by which cell biochemistry could indirectly readout changes in cell size, since smaller cells have a greater surface to volume ratio than larger cells. However, it is not clear why importin α would bind to membranes only after they have been deposited to form cell boundaries, and not earlier when they are in cytoplasmic stores.
Demonstrating that the changes in spindle size during early development are driven by the changing biochemistry of the cytoplasm is a landmark finding that pushes the field forward and allows new, more precise questions to be formulated. One issue that will be important to resolve is the extent to which these changes are multifactorial. Are the differences in spindle structure primarily caused by one or two keys factors, or are large numbers of factors involved, each contributing a little, perhaps in opposing directions? Wilbur and Heald's study provides a hint that the situation may be complicated: they found that spindles from early stage extracts are enriched for the kinesin-13, MCAK. This suggests that MCAK may be more active in early developmental stages—a change that goes the 'wrong' way, as MCAK is known to increase catastrophy rates, whereas microtubules in the early stage extracts have a decreased rate of catastrophies. In any case, more work remains in the young and challenging area of studying how cell biology differs in different cells.
Early development of many animals is characterized by rapid cleavages that dramatically decrease cell size, but how the mitotic spindle adapts to changing cell dimensions is not understood. To identify mechanisms that scale the spindle during Xenopus laevis embryogenesis, we established an in vitro system using cytoplasmic extracts prepared from embryos that recapitulates in vivo spindle size differences between stage 3 (4 cells, 37 µm) and stage 8 (∼4000 cells, 18 µm). We identified the kinesin-13 kif2a as a driver of developmental spindle scaling whose microtubule-destabilizing activity is inhibited in stage 3 spindles by the transport receptor importin α, and activated in stage 8 when importin α partitions to a membrane pool. Altering spindle size in developing embryos impaired spindle orientation during metaphase, but chromosome segregation remained robust. Thus, spindle size in Xenopus development is coupled to cell size through a ratiometric mechanism controlling microtubule destabilization.
