Меморіал загиблим Чанаккале розташований перед затокою Морто на вершині пагорба Хісарлик (тур. Hisarlik Tepe), збудований в пам'ять загиблих , а саме 250 тисячам воїнів., які померли у роки Першої світової війни.

Історія
За одною з версій, ідея меморіалу виникла коли Мустафа Кемаль Ататюрк оглядав околиці Чанаккале, до нього звернулися селяни та показали меморіали інших країн, які були вже збудовані. Він відповів, що для турецьких загиблих збудує меморіал, що найменше висотою в 40 метрів .

Офіційно про будову цієї пам'ятки було відомо у 1942 році, але через початок Другої світової війни конкурс на побулову був проведений тільки 1944 році, на якому перемогли такі архітектори: Доган Енгінбаш (тур. Doğan Erginbaş) , Ісмаїл Уткулар (тур. İsmail Utkular)  та  Ферідун Кіп (тур. Feridun Kip).

Проект був написаний тільки у 1954 році, та того ж року 19 квітня почалось будівництво. З невідомих причин будівництво призупинялось. Пізніше, Газета Мілліет розпочала кампанію на збір коштів для побудови меморіалу, також долучилися люди, які своїми зусиллями почали відправляти гроші на відновлення робіт. Навіть у мережі магазинів Мігрос були поставлені скарбнички, у які всі бажаючи могли внести свій вклад. У загальній кількості було зібрано 2,3 мільйона турецьких лір.

Загальна інформація
21 серпня 1960 року меморіал був офіційно відкритий для відвідувань. Під меморіалом розташований музей, а поруч Пам'ятник Мехметчику та Турецьке кладовище. Також відомо що 25-ти метровий бронзовий флагшток який стоїть поруч із меморіалом є подарунком від турка, який живе в Америці - Назмі Джелаль (тур. Nazmi Celal).. На цвинтарі є меморіальні дощечки, які розподілені на міста народження  загиблих воїнів, на кожній дощечці з обох сторін написані імена загиблих. Загальна кількість надписів 59408. Також є могила невідомого солдата якому відтяв голову австралійський солдат та взяв її з собою у якості трофею, однак 10 березня 2003 року представники Австралії повернули голову турецького воїна на батьківщину. 18 березня 2003 року солдат з усіма почестями та за релігійними традиціями був перепохований. Найцікавіше те. що на всьому кладовищі це тільки одна справжня могила. яка має у собі захоронення.

На споруду було витрачено 4 мільйона турецьких лір, на які було закуплено: 3800 тон гранітного каменю, 285 тон заліза , 630 квадратних метрів лісоматеріалу , 1275 тон цементу , 4400 тон гравію. На основну частину пам'ятника були використані 850 кубічних метрів (2125 тон) бетону.

Архітектурні особливості
Споруди спочатку була запланована в 40 метрів висоти, але архітектори додали до неї ще і зріст Ататюрка (1,7м). Тож, пам'ятка була збудована заввишки 41,7 метрів. Меморіал можна побачити майже з усіх сторін півострову. Будова займає площу 62,5 квадратних метрів.Меморіал складається з чотирьох частин, кожна з яких символізує певний етап війни. Відомий факт що, якщо подивитися з моря, то видно лише дві частини меморіалу, а якщо дивитися з суші, то видно всі 4 частини, цим архітектор хотів підкреслити кількість воїн на морі та на суші.

Jafari, O., Fernandes, J. M. d. O., Hedayati, A.-A., Shabany, A. & Nasrolahpourmoghadam, M. (2019). Microsatellite analysis of five populations of Alosa braschnikowi (Borodin, 1904) across the Southern coast of the Caspian Sea. Frontiers in Genetics, 10: 760. doi: 10.3389/fgene.2019.00760
Genetic diversity studies are essential in characterization of populations and species conservation. Alosa braschnikowi is a commercially valuable species native to the Caspian Sea. It is thought to have eight to nine subspecies, but the genetics of these populations remains to be investigated. The present study was performed to evaluate the genetic population structures of Caspian marine shad (Alosa braschnikowi) in the southern coast of the Caspian Sea using six pairs of SSR markers. A total of Alosa braschnikowi 140 specimens through five locations across the southern coast of the Caspian Sea were genotyped and 130 alleles were identified. The overall mean values of Ho and He were 0.58 and 0.87, respectively, with the highest and minimum value of Ho observed in Sari (0.67 ± 0.08) and Miankaleh (0.50 ± 0.04), respectively. The overall mean value of allelic richness was 12.6. The data suggest that there was a high rate of migration between populations of Alosa braschnikowi (overall mean of Nm = 13.57), with the highest value (19.07) between Gomishan and Mahmodabad locations. AMOVA results showed that 96% of variation was related to within populations and only 4% belonged to between populations. The mean Fst value of 0.019 indicates a low level of population differentiation. Our data suggest that there may be two genetically separate populations of Alosa braschnikowi across the southern coast of the Caspian Sea and a high rate of migration is likely to limit genetic diversity between them.

When I was growing up, I had long hair. That is, until around 4th grade when my dad whispered in the ear of his friend who wielding scissors and all of a sudden, without my asking for it, people at school thought I was a boy. Did. Not. Like.
I had VERY long hair in the military, and all hair must be off the collar, so I French braided it every morning and tucked it under.
Not only long, but very curly at one point.
At one point I started cutting it a little bit shorter each time I went to the salon.
I did have pants on, I swear.
the shorter my hair got.
Now I'm growing my hair longer. It's also been "painted' as I'm sure you all know. I don't care if people don't like the color (one of those rare instances where what people think of me DOESN'T matter). Melding the two, however, has been interesting. The long my hair gets, the question is -- do I let the pink stay the same ratio?
Yesterday, I decided to see if I had enough hair length to French brain, and lo and behold, I did.
It's a very messy job but I'm 20 years out of practice.
I don't like to wear my hair up right now (fluff-factor in the face, ya know) but it's sill comforting to me in a silly way that I'm getting my long hair back.
It's funny what we identify ourselves with. What is YOUR personal identity or style?
I love the french braid with your pink tresses! I like the pink on your ends myself. I have kept my hair long and I like it this way. It is easier for me to care for... and if I am happy with it I don't care what others think. My personality swings back and forth from accountant to artist so it depends on my mood as far as what my style is!
I've had short hair in pixie cuts as a child and just to the bottom of my ears as an adult. I had hair so long in high school that I could sit on it, and every length in between. In the last 5 years I have let it grow back long again from being the shortest it has ever been. It is now to my waist and I think it will stay. I prefer it long even if it is in a bun or a braid 99% of the time. I color mine now as I hate the gray which is just in the front and makes me feel old, even if I am old. At one time I used to do color washes that gave it a burgundy tone, it's dark brown naturally. I'm not at brave as you to color it pink but I like your pink hair. You need to do what makes you happy, but I would be sad to see the pink go away. I really like how it looks in the braid too.
Lori- I LOVE your hair! My hair gets lank and thin looking when I let it go long, but maybe if I layer it more I can trick it into looking like it has volume with some color. Very pretty! Don't you wish you could see what others see of your hair? My best hair is in the back of my head. loL!
That's beautiful, Lori. Such a gorgeous pink color. I think I need to google how to French braid now!
I have always had long hair. And ALWAYS prefer it down. Sometimes I put it up in a messy bun, loose fluffy bits to frame face, etc. Some people say it looks better, but I feel safe with my thick hair around me, y'know?
I saw this http://media-cache-ec1.pinterest.com/upload/259801472224626489_AcSsosE3_f.jpg the other day and fell in love with it. My hair is that kind of texture and, if I had the guts, I would so do that to it. Ahhhhh, some day maybe.
Thanks for sharing your awesome hair!
"I'm a healthy hefty and it only occasionally makes me cry. :-)"
Boy, Lori - it's statements like that that make me think you live inside my head somedays.
Love the French braid with the pink. So cute! And I'll bet it looks great from the front, too! I wear mine either short or shorter. I look terrible with long hair -- it makes me look short and fat(ter). I think the last time I let it grow was in college, and that was a very long time ago. Keep on doing what you're doing. The ratio of pink to brown is whatever you like! It looks great!
The french braid with the pink rocks.
I have always had medium length hair --it doesn't grow terribly long, but I've never felt like a short-hair person. A couple of years ago I did cut it short --I wasn't coloring the gray, and I was trying to figure out what was easiest and didn't make me look like an old lady trying to look young. I thought the short hair would look more "appropriate", but I hated it. Now it's back to medium, and I gave in and cover the gray with color. Not pink, though --I haven't been that brave :-) It's tempting though --I'd go with a blue-violet color, I think.
I definitely love that pink! What's there to say about my hair? I was a cute little blonde when I was a child and the big blue eyes did the rest. Then I cut my hair at the age of 13, due to practical issues, I think. Maybe I wanted to be a boy back then, too. Three years ago, when my life was turned upside down I decided to grow my hair and let it grow until things are back to normal. Things are back to normal, I still let my hair grow and me and all the other people like it (as if I would care if others like it *LOL*). And some people who only knew me with short hair now freak out! Why the heck?
My personal style is loooong hair, but there's a very good reason for it.
Growing up, my mom had short hair, so *I* had short hair because she thought it was easier to maintain. Even after I was old enough to do it myself, I still had to have short hair.
People thought I was a boy, ALL THE TIME, and as a girl with a shaky amount of self-confidence to begin with, this would bring out the tears. I despised getting haircuts because my mom would literally say, "Cut it like a boy's!" Coupled with big oversized glasses, I absolutely hated the way I looked growing up. HATED. IT.
So, after years of begging, I got contacts and was allowed to grow my hair out. And other than one unfortunate haircut, it has been long ever since. Recently, it's been extra, extra long, like down to the small of my back long, and I don't do anything with except pile it on my head when I'm working. But just knowing that it's nice and long is enough for me.
HaHa... many of our Hubbies would say, "At least you girls have hair to worry about!" In my 50's I don't fuss as much, but it is definitely unruly when it gets longer and has a mind of its own!
Had long hair in my "younger " years, but the older I got the thinner, and limp it got, so started resorting to shorter styles.
I am majorly impressed that you can french braid your own hair. Neither of my daughters can. I have never had long hair, because I have thin, fine hair. Chin length is the longest, and that doesn't look that great. My daughters, thankfully, have a lot more than I do - the oldest has thick, fine hair and the youngest has thick, coarse hair.
I think your hair looks awesome in the French braid.
My hair is short and looks best that way, but I do occasionally yearn for long hair. I don't know if I have the patience to grow it out and then deal with the daily upkeep, so I just keep cutting it short. At least it requires no work.
I love love the pink and the dark hair in the French braid! Funny you ask these questions. Pre chemo my hair was long but almost always pulled up and back. So I might just as well have had short hair. Post chemo, well, there isn't a whole lot of hair left. The looks not all that different. Well except that my 'hair' is now a scarf. Now I find myself really longing for long hair. But when I had long hair I wanted to be brave and cut it short. Are we ever really happy with how we look?
Lori, your hair is gorgeous and I envy you the nerve to wear it pink and be proud. I've toyed with the idea of purple but will never do it. I do touch up (all) the grey though.
I'm with Brandi in that my hair was always short as a child (Mom-love her!) Now I have an aversion to haircuts and people touching my hair in general, so it's down past my waistline. I also resent the idea that at a certain age a woman should cut her hair to be seemly. I say rock the braid!
My hair was long and braided, cut it for short while in my early 20's but really didn't like it. So my hair has been long for over 30 years and I still braid it. One thing that has helped it is Vitamin D3 (5000 units a day). Blond, brown or now grey - that's me.
Lori, I loved the old pictures of you. You looked like an adorable little soldier doll. You were just a child. The picture of you with the perm could have been on the cover of a romance novel. I am also trying to grow my hair a little longer but it is a struggle because hairdressers seem to think overweight means matronly short hair. I have always had great hair and have sported every style, length and color. I thought my hair defined me but when I lost all of my hair to chemo it did not even bother me. I wore a wig for almost a year and it was great, very low maintenance. As far as the pink hair you need to keep it. Everything you do is very tasteful. I am sure you will figure out the best way to incorporate the pink into the long hair. I am thinking sort of an ombre look or pink streaks. You are very pretty what ever you do will look great.
Mine's long, and silver, very easy but I sure wish I could do that french braid thing ... looks so cool!
My sister is the hair genius when it comes to long hair-She can do it every which way you can imagine and THEN some!
Me, throw it up in a ponytail and I'm done. Original, I know.
Personal identity for me is all the jewelry I wear. I swear I feel naked without it!
You are very brave to do the bright pink, and it looks great. I had long hair as a child, med length as a teenager, and I too kept mine in a french roll while in the Service. But the older I get the thinner it gets, so against my hubby's wishes I had it cut short. I love it and he does too. I used to color my hair, but decided about 15 years ago to "Embrace the Grey". I agree with all the others, "if it makes you feel good, go for it"!
I am fifty shades of grey! I've been going grey since mt 20's- a family trait, so I've been a bottler for years. My hair has been bobbed, long, inbetween and I have waged war against my curly,frizzy mop for years. In fact (my hairdressing mate will kill me) I was so fed up with my hair last not that I cut it myself...I might need to call him..
I had long hair(spiral permed!) until I had my girls and I cut it pixie style short. Last year I started to grow it again, but I couldn't stand it when it got long. I have very thick, flyaway hair that is very fast growing. My hair is now just above shoulder length and I have discovered I have natural curls!
Love your pink hair, check out some of the ombré hairstyles on pinterest, coloured tips look so pretty. You make me want to try out some purple hair myself.
Lori I just love the French braid with the pink woven through the braid - it is awesome!
I love that we can use our hair to express ourselves. Like you I had to keep my hair up in a French braid when I was in the military. One of my bucket list items, when I got out, was to have my hair long and color it different colors. Well, at one point I had my hair down to my rear. For the last 8-9 years I have had my hair short and I colored the back pink, blue, purple and deep red. Now, I am letting my hair grow back out and I just get color in a box and change my hair color ever four weeks. It is so much fun playing with colors to see what I like the best.
I can't wait to see what you do next with your hair, but I seriously love the pink you rock!!!
Lori, your hair looks so cute in a braid like that!
I have long hair - middle of my back. I wear it up at times, down most of the time. My Mama always said that women of a certain age should wear their hair short and permed, but I know she would love me anyway, just not my hair. (I am a grandma of 8 ages 19-2) I LOVE how your pink looks in your French braid...way cool!
I have my hair bobbed at my chin..... My hair is so fine and thin it looks scraggly and feels dragged down if I grow it past my collar bone. Bobs work best for me. Although sometimes I do wish I could just throw it back into a ponytail.
Great post Lori. You asked what our personal identity is? I had to think on that one......I have to say it would be that I most identify myself with being an artist and a Mom; both equally. I can't imagine what I would be without either of those components in my life. Unfortunately, I don't live my artistic life daily or make a living with it but I would love to! It does bring me great satisfaction when I create and when I'm with my children.
Oh, and I love your pink hair. I have dark red under my blonde (natural)hair. My husband doesn't like it but I don't care!!
Love your hair Lori! It looks so cool in the french braid!
Lovely photos from the past. You were a very pretty girl, young lady and you still are.
I was never able to braid, French braid or otherwise) for some reason my hands don't work well behind my back.
My hair was always very long until my sister-in-law got cancer. I felt so helpless. I decided that since she was going to loose her hair, I cut mine and donated it. I told her we would have short hair together. We would grow our hair back together. Unfortunately she didn't make it. My hair stayed short. I'm used to it now and I actually like it. I wish we had the chance to grow it back, though.


Conventional spacecraft propulsion uses chemicals to propel itself. The most common types are mono-propellant and bi-propellant. Mono-propellant systems are very simple, and can me likened to a bottle of soda. When you open a bottle of soda some carbon dioxide escapes out of the top of the bottle. The releasing of gas by opening a nozzle will create enough thrust to move a spacecraft. Bi-propellant uses 2 different chemicals to create higher pressures/temperatures, which forces the gas out of the nozzle faster than mono-propellant thereby creating more thrust. This type of propellant is the one most people are familiar with, especially if you have ever seen a space shuttle launch. The orbiter's main engine produces thrust by mixing liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. All chemical propulsion systems produce relatively large amounts of thrust, but can only operate for a short period of time before burning out and are typically about <60 percent efficient.
The other main type of spacecraft propulsion are electric engines which, as their name suggests, use electricity to produce thrust for a spacecraft. The most well known electric thruster is the ion engine, which was "field" tested on the Deep Space 1 spacecraft. This type of engine works is by accelerating the gas it expels to many times the speed of a bi-propellant system. The noble gas, such as Xenon, are ionized by bombarding them with electrons. Then the ionized gas is pulled towards an electrified grid at the back of the engine. The ions pass through the grid and out into space. Since the gas from an ion engine is traveling much faster rate than the gas chemical rocket you get more energy per molecule or "more bang for your buck."
The problem come in with the fact that considerably fewer molecules per second are released. Ion engines can be about 80 percent efficient, but they will produce only a fraction of the thrust per second that a chemical rocket will produce. Luckily there is the snowball effect. A small snowball starting to roll at the top of a large hill can result in a large snowball at the bottom of that hill, this is the same thing that results with electric thrusters. A small amount of force produced over a long period of time results in the same or larger impulse that a chemical rocket gives. So if you can spare the time you can get where you want to go using far less fuel. At around $10,000 per kilogram in launch costs alone the money saved can often out way the extra time spent.
The standard design procedure for engines is design, build, test, and repeat. Electric spacecraft engines are tested using vacuum tanks. Vacuum tanks, especially very low pressure vacuum tanks are expensive to maintain and operate. In the case of the engine lifetime test the engine and the tank are running nearly constantly for months. The price of testing alone makes the designing of electric spacecraft engines prohibitively expensive, especially on a university budget. A computer can be used to simulate the engine and its testing at a much lower cost. The simulation can also be evaluated at a level of detail that is impossible in conventional testing. This project involves the visualization of the simulation of a micro electric thruster known as a hollow cathode thruster or HCT.
The main objective of this project is to learn how to use the visualization tools available to aid in the understanding to the simulated HCT.
a. Create a meshed CAD image of the HCT and the vacuum tank.
b. Merge the simulation data with the meshed geometry.
Convert the desktop model into an immersive model capable of being displayed in the CAVE.
Summarize the project into a multimedia/web presentation and a CAVE presentation in order to effectively communicate the results to the class and future classes.

Preet Bharara Slams Trump—and Suggests Kushner Could Be the Next to Go
On stage at Vanity Fair's New Establishment Summit, the former U.S. Attorney recalls the sudden end of his strange relationship with the president.
Former United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara, Former United States Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and moderator Bryan Burrough speak onstage during Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit.by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images.
When Donald Trump was elected president in November 2016, Preet Bharara, then the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, didn't expect to lose his job—especially since Trump had personally told him that he could stay. When Trump suddenly demanded his resignation in March, Bharara refused, insisting that the president pull the trigger himself. "I was fired," Bharara said Wednesday at Vanity Fair's New Establishment Summit, in conversation with former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates and Vanity Fair's Bryan Burrough. "The president of the United States has the absolute authority and power to fire anyone who works for him; attorneys and attorneys general and others work at the absolute rule of the president."
The circumstances of his ouster, he explained, were somewhat unusual. Like a strange game of telephone, president-elect Trump had told Chuck Schumer after the election last year that he'd wanted Bharara to stay on during the Trump administration. Bharara says Trump asked for Bharara to come meet him on the 26th floor of Trump Tower. "It was a lovely meeting," Bharara recalled. "I was there. The president-elect was there. [Steve] Bannon was there. Jared Kushner was there." The friendly conversation was followed by several calls with the president, which Bharara described as unusual.
"I'll note that half of us are now gone," he said, referring to himself, Bannon, Kushner, and Trump. "It's unclear how long the other half will stay."
After the inauguration, Bharara stopped returning Trump's calls, which he said might have created the appearance of impropriety. "It's not an easy thing not to return the call of anyone who's your boss," he added, referring to a March 9 message left with his assistant. Twenty hours later he was asked for his resignation. "I don't know that it's nefarious," he noted Wednesday. "I think all sorts of things are possible. It may be that he just wanted everyone out. There's still not a replacement who was nominated for my position. And that was six or seven months ago."
Video: When the President Asks for Your Resignation: Sally Yates and Preet Bharara On What Is and Isn't Normal
Yates's dismissal from the White House was similarly unceremonious. Hours after sending a memo to Justice Department lawyers urging them not to defend the White House's first travel ban because she was not "convinced it was lawful," the Trump White House released a statement announcing her replacement and accusing her of having "betrayed" her department. "I felt like resignation would have protected my personal integrity, but it wouldn't have protected the integrity of the Department of Justice," she said about her firing. "Within a few hours, later that evening, they had delivered a letter to me. Apparently they tried to do it by e-mail, I'm told, but the e-mail kept bouncing back."
On stage on Wednesday at the New Establishment Summit, Yates recalled that she first found out about the travel ban from a news story while she was in the car. "I got a call saying, 'You're not gonna believe this but I was just on the New York Times's Web site and it looks like President Trump has issued some sort of travel ban,'" she said. "That was how we found out about it at Department of Justice, after the executive order was issued, was my deputy reading about it on the New York Times's Web site."
Bharara also seemed to take a dig at Trump's immigration policy when Burrough asked whether he had any ambitions to run for president. "I was born in India," he said. "I'm going to try not to get deported."
Now free of the strictures of that office, Yates spoke candidly about the ways in which the Trump administration is doing lasting damage to the institution of the presidency. "The danger to me is if we normalize this conduct. I get that it's absolutely exhausting to be outraged day after day," she said. "But the way this becomes lasting and permanent is if we start to normalize this. And we then project that onto the next administration. It comes from folks in this room and the public to continue to demand that this is not normal."
Bharara concurred: "I really think the certain things he's done, including the way he fired Jim Comey, particularly knowing what we know how . . . I have no expectation on issues of independence or rule of law, or that Trump will be guided by anything other than in the moment anger and personal interest. And that's a scary place to be."

Apple will invest $1 billion to open a new campus in Austin, TX, and will also open new sites in Seattle, San Diego and Culver City, CA as part of a massive expansion in the United States. The company said it also plans to expand its presence in cities like Pittsburgh, New York and Boulder, CO over the next three years.
The 133-acre Austin campus will initially support 5,000 employees, with the potential to accommodate 15,000 in engineering, research and development, customer service and finance. That's on top of the 6,200 people Apple already employees there, and the expansion is expected to make Apple the largest private employer in the city.
Reuters reports that Apple could be getting incentives through a $25 million grant from the Texas Enterprise Fund, and the Austin American-Statesman reports that Apple is seeking a 15-year property tax abatement from Williamson County for the new facility, although it got no incentives from the city of Austin.
Unlike Amazon, Apple did not hold a public bidding competition for its new office. Instead, the company announced last January that it would invest some $30 billion in the U.S. over the next five years, creating more than 20,000 jobs. Besides the new Austin campus, Apple will also add 1,000 jobs apiece in Seattle, San Diego and Culver City, CA, and will also invest $10 billion in U.S. data centers over the next five years.
"Talent, creativity and tomorrow's breakthrough ideas aren't limited by region or zip code, and, with this new expansion, we're redoubling our commitment to cultivating the high-tech sector and workforce nationwide," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement.
The new campus furthers Austin's reputation as a destination for tech employers. The University of Texas, the city's strong labor force and appealing quality of life have made it a target for big firms (it was on the shortlist for Amazon's HQ2). The U.S. Army in July announced plans to build a technology development center there, adding as many as 500 new jobs to the region.
The new Apple campus will include 50 acres set aside as a nature preserve and will be powered with 100% renewable energy, the company said.

The Hammer of the Cartesians: Henry More's Philosophy of Spirit and the Origins of Modern Atheism is a 2013 book by David Leech, in which the author argues that Henry More's spirit conception, influential upon Isaac Newton and Samuel Clarke, contributed to a slow secularization process internal to theistic culture and believes that the origins of modern speculative atheism can be traced back to conceptual changes in early modern metaphysics.
Leech won the Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for the book.

An English Homestead: A Preppers Paradise?
Love it, would move today if we could. As for being cut off, bliss!
It would have certain advantages! I'd have to have plenty to do out here and a full workshop with a good stock of timber to work with.
It wouldn't be very cosy! No firewood to burn either! I'll have to have a look for more "prepper properties!" It's good fun!
It's being done all round the world, just look to places like Alaska where people go to live in the wilderness. You still need contact to get more supplies and things though, impossible to be completely self sufficient forever.
Oh, that would be heavenly for me!! A place the deer can't get in and eat my vegetables!
I don;t think the veg would grow as well in those conditions though, a bit wind swept I think!
I live in the countryside next to the sea and it's not nice to live here when it's gale season. I would find Preppers Paradise great for an holiday home to write or tend my vegetables. I think rural or island isolation isn't good for the spirit.
I think it's better on paper than living there in person to be honest.
Nice! I could use one of the big rooms to store my guns and ammo!
Not sure I could keep the place up though. I have a hard enough time with my buildings up here on the mountain. At least I wouldn't have to worry about forest fires there.
I think water would be the major issue! Keeping it out, I imagine the sea would be very rough at times, I don't think there'd be much sun bathing!
You could have a whole armoury there!
I like it, sounds like my kind of place. Imagine the possibilities. Need to hit the lottery first though.
There are a lot of possibilities but like you said, lottery or some rich relative I've never met would need to be very nice to me!
i might need that place to get away from trump.
You'd have to build a wall round it then!
Tempting! I'll get the extension finished first though.
It's a good idea though, if you could get 6 rich families interested and to put up the money.
have you ever seen the blog cold antler farm? Before she moved to the farm people where donating to her 'dream' on a pay pal button.
You could sell your place as the down payment, and get a commercial mortgage to pay the rest. Then run courses on something. And have the people who come to the courses stay and it would pay for itself. just pulling numbers from the air. 5 months of courses May-September. 6 people on the course, twice a month. Course £200pp. that would make you an even £12k. You would have to pay tax on that. But it would make a good dent into more than paying a mortgage. Then the people could either B&B on the main land or if they stayed with you for 2 nights (2 day course), hmm what would you charge for that... £40? per person? Say half stay with you. that could be another potential £1,200.
Just pulling stuff out of the air there... £550k is a bargain. Around here that wouldnt get you much. Maybe a 2 bed. And in London that is a once bed basement flat.
I know in England you can apply for a grant for Grade listed buildings. I would assume Wales has the same thing.
The initial price is the least of it.
We don't have those we have council tax and I don't think it would be that bad, the max it could be in that county would be £1,962 per year.
I saw it too, but the amount of interior work it needs is huge. And how would you get the men and materials out there?
It would be a costly venture but worth it in the end!
I think any veggie patch would struggle from sea spray! Gosh, you could read a library of books in total peace though.
You;d have to take the library with you though!
No good if you want to nip next door to borrow a cup of sugar !
If you live there you've gotta have a few kg of sugar put by!
I've always wanted to be a Pirate but I would not be that good at it. I'd feel bad about stealing from people and would later apologize which would completely ruin the whole scary pirate thing. Perhaps a Robber Baron, probably the same problem.
A reclusive millionaire wouldn't work either as I'm moderately friendly.
I'm not sure on the local policy on cannons or jousting. But, should I win a billion dollars I will keep it in mind.

Plenty of our local talented athletes succumb to giving up the sports so young due to reason such as national service, studies and supporting the family. Basically it's not viable in Singapore context being the paper chase society to sacrifice that time and effort. Chamkaur Singh however is a unique success story where he overcame odds and achieved 'success' by doing it all on his own. After much preserverance, he finally broke the 1500m men's record in 2002 and a SEA Games 2003 podium finish.
During the last 2005 Phillipines SEA Games he unfortunately missed out the event due to a posterior heel injury and recently I contacted Chamkaur for an interview, to update us on his recovery progress and his quest for gold at the upcoming Thailand 2007 SEA Games.
When we last interviewed you in 2005, you were recovering from posterior heel surgery. Did you manage to get back into normal training patterns previously or was there any complications from the recovery?
Yes, I have finally got over this injury but it only came good in May-Jun 2006. I think as with any surgery, there will always be some form of complications. After the surgery I was getting a new pain in my Achilles tendon which I didn't have before the surgery. Personally, I didn't think the surgery did help in solving the problem. 3-4 months after the surgery, I was getting the exact same pain on my heel and the additional new pain in my Achilles tendon. In fact, what finally solved my problem was a calf strengthening program which I accidentally found in my research of Achilles tendon injury. I religiously followed the program for 3 months and did completely no running at all. So that happened in Dec 2005. Then I started 5mins running in Feb and slowly building that up and it was in May-Jun 2006 that I realized the pain was progressively getting better and I was running about 50 to 60km. So, it is only in Jun 2006 that I started a structured training with my coach. So far so good, I still have other niggles which I am actively managing it.
It's been 2 years plus since we last heard from you in the media. Can you update us like, where are you now, are you still training, what are you doing and most importantly will you be 'gunning' for SEA Games 2007 in Thailand.
Yes, I am still in Sydney. This year will be my 7th year in Sydney. Wow, how time flies!!! I have been working in the financial industry doing IT stuff. Engineering here isn't that big hence I had to get into the IT world. Yes yes yes, I am back running again. Thank god for allowing me to get back into running again after this long battle with my heel injury. I started running in Jun 2006 but training hasn't been consistent as I had to take necessary breaks occasionally from running whenever the heel is complaining. I am back running 5 days 6 sessions a week with about 80km mileage and hoping to ramp it up to the usual zone of 120km to 140km, 7 days 10 sessions a week. SEA Games 2007, deep down in my heart, I would like to run it but with only 7 months training so far, I am a bit skeptical. But I am not counting it out at the moment as you would never when your fitness would kick in.
Hmmm, this is tough one. But before I comment on this, let me make it clear that I did not train full-time. The only time that I was training full-time was in 2001 for 4 months where I took a break from my university studies to focus on the SEA Games. I have always been either a full-time student in university or working full-time during my semester breaks since I left Singapore to train. The reason I point this out is to demonstrate that you don't have really train full-time to achieve your goal. My only advise I can give is "give it a go and do not regret in your old age for not trying". There is going to be a hell of a lot of obstacles for the matured person (more than the younger athletic) but the only thing that can carry you, motivate or inspire you to keep going is PASSION. If you don't have that, then you will very quickly give up.
Yes, only if the development for young athletes is well rounded, focusing not only of sports but also on all aspects of life. It depends on your definition of 'young'. Of course if the athlete is too young, then it is probably not a good idea to specialize in one sport. Personally, I think a junior athlete should get involved in various sports until 17. By then, it should be quite clear which sport the athlete is naturally inclined to. Yes, we see cases of athletes come and go due to various reasons. And that's where you need to identify good coaches who can be patient with results and are genuine in helping the athlete reach its full potential.
Have you run any recent races recently. How was your performance?
It has been exactly 3 years since I ran a race on track. I believe my last race was the 1st Asian Indoors Championships in Feb 2004. I had my first so called 'race' last week. I won't really consider this as a race but more of a training session incorporated into a race. It's to get the feet wet, so to speak, test the waters kind of thing. I attempted two races on the weekend, the 800m and followed by a 3000m about 1/2hr later. Performance wise, I was hoping to go under 9.05mins for the 3k (my best is 8.31mins) and maybe just dipping under 2mins for the 800m (PB is 1.54) but ended up with a 2.01.33mins for the 800m and 9.09.37mins for the 3000m. So it's still a long way to go.
Well, I still have a couple of goals to achieve before I call it quits in running. I hope to break the 5000m record which I came really close to breaking it in 2003 and to go under the 3.50min mark for the 1500m. Currently, I think I am having quite a balanced lifestyle, balancing both work and running and a little bit of socializing. So I hope to keep up with this lifestyle and I am have been lucky that the environment, the people and work is allowing me to maintain such a lifestyle.
Are you still being coached by Mr. Peter Good? How has your training changed over the years, do you observe that you're now more mentally tougher or perhaps your finesse has improved or … ?
Quite frankly, I don't really use any supplements. I do have the occasional vitamins when I am training well (or when doing lots of miles) and feel that it might give me an edge or recover well. But quite seriously, I think the food that I consume should have the necessary stuff required. But I do take the following stuff, powerade after my run and Sustagen sports (its basically like a meal replacement drink that has a bit of proteins in there) that I take before my run especially in the mornings or whenever I am feeling hungry before a run. And I also have a banana after my runs too.
Aside from knowing you as Chamkaur athlete that you are, we want to know more of you personally. Fav movie, fav food, dislikes, your interest, hobbies, introvert, extrovert, etc.
I admire people with a passion. People who think about issues seriously before opening their mouth. These are the people that I would like to constantly meet and inspire me. I definitely dislike people who like to boast and who thinks that they know a lot. I liking watching action movies but more importantly, I like watching movies with my favourite characters in it. For example, Densel Washington, Kiefer Sutherland, Eddie Murphie etc. I am probably considered as a quiet person but I will open up once I feel comfortable with the person.
As mentioned previously, my immediate goals to get back to where I left off and to focus on my two unfinished business of breaking the 1500m and 5000m record. The 4min mile, to be really realistic, will have to be on the back burner for now.

Internet of Things Has Big Awareness Gap in Germany
Nearly nine out of 10 consumers don't know what it is
Marketers in Germany think the Internet of Things (IoT) will be a big deal, but most consumers in the country still don't know what it is, according to research. They are interested in potential applications of the technology, though, suggesting some education is in order.
June 2015 polling by Deutsche Telekom pegged awareness of the IoT at just 12% of consumers ages 16 and older. That's striking for a country where 41% of marketers believe the IoT will have a massive impact on them by 2020.
But the marketers may well be right, even if consumers don't know it yet. When Deutsche Telekom asked respondents whether they were interested in a variety of technologies that would ultimately be delivered by an IoT framework, the answer was frequently yes. A majority of respondents under age 60 wanted to be able to track shipments online, and nearly as many were interested in various smart-home capabilities like being able to turn the lights on and off remotely.
Other popular technologies would allow cars to talk to each other about traffic and inform drivers about parts that need replacement, and adjust home heating automatically depending on whether anyone was there. Smart appliances including refrigerators and washing machines also garnered significant interest.
These results leave little doubt that consumers in Germany are interested in the IoT after all—but education is clearly required about what it entails.

Table fragmentation occurs when rows are not stored contiguously, or when rows are split between multiple pages. These rows require additional page access and this reduces the performance of the database server.
The effect that fragmentation has on performance varies. A table might be highly fragmented, but if it fits in memory, and the way it is accessed allows the pages to be cached, then the impact may be minimal. However, a fragmented table may cause much more I/O to be done and can significantly reduce performance if split rows are accessed frequently and the cost of extra I/Os is not reduced by caching.
While reorganizing tables and rebuilding a database can reduce fragmentation, doing so too frequently or not frequently enough, can also impact performance. Experiment using the tools and methods described in the following section to determine an acceptable level of fragmentation for your tables.
If you reduce fragmentation and performance is still poor, another issue may be to blame, such as inaccurate statistics. See Improving database performance.
Checking the table fragmentation just once is not helpful in determining whether to defragment to improve performance. Instead, rebuild your database and check the table fragmentation to establish baseline results. Then, continue to check the table fragmentation periodically over an extended length of time, looking for correlation between the change in fragmentation to changes in performance measures. This method helps you determine the rate at which tables become fragmented to the degree that performance is impacted, and so determine the optimal frequency at which to defragment tables.

Bryan Webb is one of the UK's most revered chefs. The Michelin Star holder cooks at Tyddyn Llan, in Corwen, north Wales, and this 288-page book celebrates his 40 years at the pass. Lavishly photographed by Andy Richardson, it looks back through the decades, featuring favourite recipes from the 1970s through to the 2010s. A foreword from award-winning author and Michelin Star chef Shaun Hill, from The Walnut Tree, pays tribute to the excellence of Chef Webb's food. With anecdotes from throughout the decades, this is a delightful title that will appeal to chefs, foodies and guests to Chef Webb's beautiful and idyllic restaurant with rooms at Tyddn Llan, in Snowdonia, North Wales.


Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. has announced the purchase of the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) business segment from ThoughtTrace, Inc., a Houston, Texas based software company using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to streamline contract management for the Oil & Gas industry..

I never met him, but I've heard so many stories.
My grandfather Kenneth Wallace Kanalley died of a massive heartattack 30 years ago to the day on Feb. 20, 1980. He was 47 years old.
He lived his whole life in Buffalo, New York, besides being stationed overseas with the Marines during the Korean War. He loved the outdoors - fishing, hunting, scuba diving. He loved ice hockey, not a surprise considering his Canadian roots (both of his parents grew up in Ontario and all four of his grandparents were born in Canada).
Back in the day, he played hockey with Pierre Pilote before Pilote went on to an outstanding NHL career and was inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame.
He was a "jokester" and a "prankster," He was a very hardworker, spending time as a maintenance man and steeple jack. He loved his family, three kids, and he loved my grandmother Rita, pictured above on their wedding day.
Today, 30 years after his death, our family remembers him, and I wanted to pay tribute to his life.
Today was a special day for my family for another reason. My sister, Melissa Kanalley, scored a career-high 34 points in Pittsburgh today to eclipse 1,000 points for her college basketball career at D'Youville College. It was her second-to-last ever game and she needed 30 points to hit the mark. What a way to do it. We know Grandpa K. was watching.
And it's a special time for my family for yet one more reason: the Winter Olympics.
Thirty years ago, my Grandpa Kanalley predicted the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team would pull off a monumental feat - a gold medal. Two days after his death, on Feb. 22, 1980, they upset the HEAVILY-favored Soviet Union in Lake Placid, New York, in one of the most memorable sporting events in American history. Grandpa was buried a day later on Feb. 23, and Team USA went on to win the gold, defeating Finland.
Well, Grandpa, I'm hoping we can do it again. We got USA-Canada tomorrow, Feb. 21, 2010. A prelim game, but a special one nonetheless. With the Sabres' own Ryan Miller in nets for the U.S., here's hoping for a gold in 2010 in Canada. Either way, it's Olympic hockey. I know you're watching.

Thanks for remembering grampa/dad Kanalley in such a wonderful way.
Ken and Rita were godparents to my oldest son Gordon Jr. We would exchange Christmas gifts with Patrick and Gordon. Ken and Gordon would try to buy a gift with parts to put together. Gordon gave up when Ken bought a garage with many pieces.
Hi, my name is Nancy Westbury, I am Rita's cousin. Alothough I only met Ken a couple of times, Rita and I exchanged Christmas cards, and she always spoke higly of him. We always kept in touch, I just wish I would have gotten to know Ken a little better, he seemed like a great man. Craig, thank you so much for writting this post, its a great way to remember him.
These stories are so endearing and familiar to me! I remember stories from my great Aunt Marlene and Great Grandmother Mary Margaret and Great Aunt Catherine.
Wonderful story! For years I never knew who my grandfather was. My grandmother refused to tell me. Finally, after twenty years of not knowing, my grandmother decided to tell me, believing she had only hours to live. She told me, with tears in her eyes, "Your grandfather is... Elvis Presley". That was a surprise that was long overdue! Thank you, Craig!

It was something that I started a number of years ago. I can't remember exactly what the simpleincident was (something like someone picking up something I dropped), but in that moment I recognized, truly recognized, that someone did something for me...just because they were being kind. I said "thank you", but somehow that moment made a larger impact on me than whatmy words were able to express.
"Iknow it may seem like a small thing that you did for me today and that those things may often go unnoticed or unacknowledged. I just wanted to let you know that you made a difference in myday today. Please watch for someonewho makes a difference in your day and pass this on."
I printed a couple of pages of these andkept them with me. The first reaction Ihad surprised me. I had wanted to let the person know theymade a difference in my day and his reactiontold me that I had made an unexpecteddifference in his byacknowledging his kindness (if I remember right, he openeda door for me). I got a similar response from the next person, and then the next, and the next. A couple of people looked more confused, butby then I smiled anyway, knowing that it may have at least caused them to consider the moment a little more.Knowing that they had made a small difference in my day and that Imight havemade asmall difference in their day somehowgave me an indescribablefeeling inside. I started looking for these small acts of kindness even more and became even more aware of them.
Over time, Ibegannoticing that I got that same feeling inside even if I didn't wait for the person's response. I also started noticingthose little moments when someone did something for someone else and I eventually changed the cards to say, "it may seem like a small thing you did for someone today.....I just wanted to let you know that it made a difference in myday today..." Seeing those expressions of kindness toward someone else as well as the reaction (or my perception of their reaction if I didn't wait to see it) of the person receiving the card brought that same feeling inside. It no longer had toinvolve meexcept as an observer. It was about those little momentsof kindness toward another human being that we often overlook - those moments that let us know that we are not alone and that we do affect each other in some way.
I didhave a few cards that said, "you made a difference in my life" and passed out a few of these as well, butit was my awareness of the little moments that made the largest impact for me. The earth didn't shake, but I did experience it in a different way. Sometimes I even noticeda sense of gratitude in theunexpected moments. The person who cut in front of someone in line reminded meto consider a sense of fairness.The frustrated parent in the store reminded me of the importance of patience. My own impatience and frustration reminded me of the importance of understanding and accepting our humanness as well as forgiving ourselves and others (that's been a really tough one to see at times). The eyes of the homeless person reminded me of the importance of compassion and a sense of dignity. My clients remind me of the courage it takes to be vulnerable in front of another human being, tostep away from what is known into the unknown, to change,andto ask for help ornew perspectives.

St Columban's Primary School, Mayfield, and St John's Primary School, Lambton, did their schools proud by raising money for worthy causes.
St Columban's started their morning with a liturgy conducted by Richard Cootes, School Liaison Officer for Catholic Mission. Playing music for the students to sing and dance to, Richard also talked about the work of Catholic Mission to aid children in need overseas and how they can help.
The liturgy was followed by a tasty sausage sizzle before the colour run kicked off on the school playground.
The colourful day was used to raise money for two important causes – all money raised from the sausage sizzle was donated to Catholic Mission, with all other funds raised put towards improvements for the school playground and IT facilities for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
The school raised $1,000 for Catholic Mission and $5000 for the school.

It was smiles all around as students from St John's spent the afternoon at Lambton Park running around being sprayed with colour.
The school's Run4Fun event provided students with a healthy and active approach to fundraising while at the same time providing the community with an opportunity to have fun and celebrate together.
Money raised on the day will go towards assisting the school with the development of a creative play area and the purchase of laptops.
"A big thank you to the students and families of St John's for participating in and supporting our school Run4Fun," said Annie Duggan, Principal at St John's.
"Thank you to the P&F for organising the event, especially Robyn for doing so much to make sure everything was great on the day.


"Hello, is there anybody out there?" No, I'm not messing up the lyrics to Comfortably Numb, it is how we are feeling as we move into the off-season. Suddenly the normal flood of familiar names heard over the radio or anchored nearby has become nothing more than a trickle. For our land-based friends, the off-season (June-Nov or hurricane season) sees many cruisers leaving their boats and heading back home. Many Pacific Ocean cruisers set sail for the South Pacific (think soft white beaches, palms and friendly Polynesians – but only after sailing 3 weeks across an ocean) or head back north into Mexico's Sea of Cortez. We have chosen to move south and east where we are safely out of the hurricane zone, but well within the rainy season. Not only are there very few cruisers out there, Western Panama has very few people, period. It is tranquil to say the least.
It is a rugged, very tropical, wet, jungly and sparsely inhabited land. There are indigenous peoples mixed in all about and everyone lives a subsistence lifestyle, as there are virtually no cities for miles around.
Some of the little villages we saw didn't even have roads going to them. The locals move about by boat or when necessary over unforgiving trails through the thick forests.
We dropped anchored in the beautiful bay of Bahia Honda and were promptly greeted by life-long island resident and friend to cruisers, Domingo. Although my Spanish is still that of a 3-year-old, Domingo's constant chatting somehow sunk in and we were trading goods for fruits and herbs, visiting his home and being his guests to visit Salmonete a tiny village up a river to buy lobsters from the fishermen, undoubtedly his buddies.
Domingo's pig, who lived with a terrified cat in this pen. Never got a straight answer why the cat was in there. Maybe we don't want to know.
On our second day there we were joined by Larry and Debbie from "Tropical Blend" (whom we met back in El Salvador) and it was nice to have friends join us on the lobster adventure and kayaking through the estuaries.

It truly has quieted down. … and, hard as it is to image, it seems a little more relaxed to me. I love forgetting the day of the week. Now we're starting to forget the month. But I think the World Cup will keep us on a 'schedule' for a little while. Wish we were there to share Panama with you, but we are still truly enjoying Costa Rica.
Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing. Yep, weird without all the people we are used to like back at Bahia del Sol. It's quiet here as well at Papagayo. Looking forward to "cruising" season. Miss you guys!
Beautiful pictures. (except for the snake).
Looks like a gorgeous area. Lucy has good taste in her selection of favorite places to stay. Do you ever hum the theme song from Gilligan's Island?
We have never met…but I would like to. Looking for a deck hand??? Great shots!! travel safe..
I am using Tommy's PC so I logged in again, love the photos and hearing from you, so you haven't gone thru the canal yet? Things are progressing slowly here, we have the new windlass but it isn't installed….trying to find conversational Spanish classes to attend, but not having much luck. Trying to make good use of my 'down time'…..play me some dominoes! be safe and keep in touch!
Always so interesting! When will we see you in person?
Chris, etal were here for a week. Got to enjoy Sophie. and babysit while they explored NYC.
Glad you are safe. We are out here enjoying all of your adventures and beautiful pics!
Hola from Costa Rica. We are now in Herradurra, but can't wait to get out of here. Holly just about choked on the $54 rib eye she saw in the shop. They should call this place costa-lotta rica. We will go to Quepos, then quite quickly to Gzolfito and into Panama. The storms here have been truly amazing – spooky / scary storms. Lots of fresh water for the tanks, but shivers up and down the spine while they happen. How're the storms down there? Glad we'll be following in your wake soon!
