In the times of increasing global economic challenges, PRACE Industrial Seminar is heading to the cradle of the European car industry, nowadays a well-known cluster of high-tech and engineering industry as well as academic and research organisations. The 5th PRACE Industrial Seminar will take place in Stuttgart, one of the most vibrant European industrial regions and home to a number of world-class companies. In Stuttgart, business meets the future.
During the event, we will demonstrate the results obtained by the companies using the PRACE infrastructure, review PRACE's Industrial Offer and introduce PRACE's Industrial Advisory Committee (IAC), as well as tackle a number of significant business and technological topics in the HPC industrial use area.
The Seminar will offer several key-note speakers from Europe's leading innovative companies, introducing Europe's most exciting HPC applications and how they have changed their organisations' prototyping and simulation paradigms, together with thematic sessions on HPC industrial applications e.g. in the automotive or pharma industry.
Already a tradition in the European HPC landscape, they serve as a forum to develop PRACE's working relations with Industry. The 2012 event took place in Bologna in April 2012 and attracted a total of 96 attendees, including 67 non-PRACE attendees, and 30 speakers who provided 20 talks and 4 workshops. 30 of the companies attending were SMEs and 21 of them attended such an event for the first time. In total, the four industrial seminars to date have attracted as many as 120 different companies of various business and industrial profiles.
Participation in the seminar is by invitation only. If you have not been invited and are interested in taking part in the event, please send an email to our Seminar Organisation Team at is2013-info@prace-ri.eu. If you have already been sent a password required for registration, please proceed to fill in the registration form (registration is now closed).
Public presentations are available for download here.
For those registered participants who arrive early, we have organized a tour of the Mercedes-Benz Engine Production Plant on Monday morning as a supplement to the main programme.
Attendance to this activity is limited to 30 persons and is provided on a first come first serve basis.
Accommodation in the seminar hotel can be booked with the registration for the seminar. For more information, please go to the registration form link.
The seminar will take place in the suggestive atmosphere of Bad Boll at the edge of the Swabian Alb.
The seminar will open on April 15th at 12:00 and close on April 16th at 13:30. A lunch buffet will welcome participants on the 15th and will close the event on the 16th, offering a taste of the unique food and drink of Swabia.
A bus shuttle service from Stuttgart Airport to the venue will be organized for the seminar attendees.
PRACE continues its effort to identify the most innovative HPC application in Europe. The objective of this contest is to award the boldest industrial HPC end-user application – we want to see how far one can take this technology in changing the present paradigms of HPC use by European industry. As usual, this competition is open to all fields of HPC and industrial sectors and is not necessary to take part in the Seminar in order to enter this contest.
This year's competition (its second round) is open to end-user applications challenging the traditional way of doing business in Europe. We are looking for compelling HPC solutions submitted by industrial end-users that address a specific business problem within the industrial environment of the applicant, changing the operational patterns of their business.
For more information, please visit our Open Competition web page.

Vail, Arizona – December 2021 – Views From The New Neighborhood
History, Nature, Transportation, Water Features
Our move to Arizona has found us living in a town called Vail, at the far east end of Tucson. It predates the same named town in Colorado by about 100 years, but for most of it's time was a small, dusty railroad stop. The Colorado town has nothing on the Arizona one, the mountains here have more vertical gain above the town – just without so much snow (thankfully).
In the last 30 years it has grown tremendously but still has that 'outpost' feel, being at the edge of town, next to the mountains and desert. This posting has random views of some sights around Vail and beyond.
While Route 66 is the most famous east-west route in the pre interstate days, in reality more people actually took U.S. 80 west to California. This route made it's way across Southern Arizona, including a portion between Benson and Vail, on it's way to Tucson.
U.S. 80 crosses Cienega Creek on a 1921 bridge, next to where two Southern Pacific railroad routes also traverse the creek. A cienega is a wetland unique to the Southwestern U.S., resulting in a landscape unlike the surrounding area because of the constant availability of water, with large trees lining the banks.
Just to the east is the ghost town of Pantano, another railroad stop in the late 1800s, early 1900s. Today only the water tower remains.
About 30 miles south of Vail is the town of Sonoita. As you cross the Empire Mountains the landscape changes yet again, with large fields of tall grasses, instead of the Sonoran Desert look of Vail.
A local propane dealer has a cool collection of decorated tanks.
While Saguaro National Park East has a Tucson address, it is in the Vail area. It was a good day to take the dog for a walk, and take a closer look at the cacti.
The Vail area, and all of Southern Arizona, have spectacular sunsets.
Note the full moon peeking through the clouds.

Lowell, Arizona – December 2021 – Rusted Ghost Town
Architecture, History, Transportation
Lowell, Arizona is just south of Bisbee, and today is officially part of the city of Bisbee. Not only has the town lost it's population over the years, but it actually lost it's land as the massive copper pit mining was expanded.
Today a portion of the main street remains, with a collection of old buildings, cars, trucks and buses – but it has a unique appeal. It is the scene of numerous photo and video shoots.

Chicago – September 2021 – Phoning In Some Murals
Architecture, Art, Transportation
An unexpected, brief, trip to Chicago left me without a camera – so this posting is solely the result of an iPhone camera.
A quick internet search for some of the more interesting murals in the city, plus discovering some not on the list by chance. I like to find murals that the surroundings add to the photo as well.
Many were in locations that made it tough to get a clear photo, but the varied angles also have added to the composition, rather than a 'directory of images'.

Jerome, Arizona – September 2021 – Rusty Gold
Art, Transportation
As noted is the last posting, Jerome Arizona prides themselves on being a ghost town. Just outside of town is the King Gold Mine – in actually a quirky, but cool, tourist spot where you can pan for gold. Their real 'gold' however is in the huge collection of old rusty trucks!

Central Arizona – September 2021 – Wanderings
Architecture, History, Nature, Transportation
A 3 day weekend of wanderings resulted in a number of topics for a posting, and a few random shots that weren't enough for a single posting.
Jerome, Arizona – What was once a medium sized town for a large copper mine, the town went nearly extinct, but has returned to life as a tourist attractions as … a ghost town full of people.
Another mountain town is Superior – east of Phoenix.
Roosevelt Lake is located near the Tonto National Monument. The reservoir supplies water to Phoenix.

Phoenix – August 2021 – Architecture Tour on a Sunday Morning
Architecture, History, Museum, Transportation
While much of Phoenix is a vast suburban landscape, there are a number of architecturally interesting buildings in the area.
Tempe Municipal Building
What was once the Santa Fe Freight Depot is now the Maricopa County Assessors Office.
The Arizona State Historic Preservation Office in one of the few remaining old houses downtown.
The Arizona State Capitol
An Arizona State Government building.
What I thought was an observatory is a church.
Side view of the historic Maricopa County Courthouse, with a streetcar stop.
The Luhrs Tower dates from 1929. The building made an appearance in the movie Pyscho, and is thought to be haunted.
Arizona State University Music Building – Designed by Wesley Peters, son in law of Frank Lloyd Wright (more below on him). This is known as the Birthday Cake building.
Frank Lloyd Wright lived and worked in Phoenix for many years. There are a number of his designed homes, churches and public buildings in the area.
Gammon Auditorium – Designed by FLW but completed after his death.
The Arizona Biltmore Hotel
The Norman Lykes House

Signs of Change Across America – August 2021
Architecture, Art, Nature, Transportation, Water Features
After an entire lifetime of living in the east, life has dealt us a curveball, resulting in us relocating from Ohio to Arizona. We took the opportunity to take a bit extra time during the 2000 mile move to stop and see a few sights along the way. Some of the more extended stops will have their own posting.
Let's start by leaving Columbus
Time to head west.
First state – Kentucky
Our first stretch break was south of Louisville at Bernheim Arboretum. In addition to the natural scenery there were many sculptures.
After a very long drive across much of Kentucky, we reached the Tennessee border in the far northwestern corner of the state.
It was on to Memphis for the night. We saw enough sights in our brief visit to Memphis to warrant it's own posting.
The next day started with a drive across the Mississippi River into Arkansas
After extended stops in Little Rock and Hot Springs (postings follow this one), we found ourselves near the small town of Murfreesboro at the Crater of Diamonds State Park. This park is known for being an open diamond 'mine' where you pay $10 and are welcome to go dig around for diamonds.
The park has a sign detailing recent and records finds – each day someone find small diamonds, and every once in a while a big find is made.
We did not strike it rich so we continued west, passing Texarkana, which as the name suggests is on the Texas/Arkansas border.
Our last brief stop of the day was in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Their very nice courthouse square has a public restroom with one way mirrors, so you can 'take care of business' while watching the world go by 🙂
A couple more hours lead to a great sunset while arriving in Dallas.
The next morning started out across West Texas, passing the town of Cisco (must be where they got the name of the company)
Our first extended stop of the day was in Abilene (posting to follow).
Texans are very proud of their home.
The drive across Texas continued, passing wind turbines then oil derricks.
After 575 mile we were through Texas (or so we though…), arriving in Hobbs, New Mexico.
Eastern New Mexico was still oil country but it quickly transitioned to the mountains. The peak of our trip was in Cloudcroft, New Mexico.
After dropping more than 4000 feet we arrived in Alamogordo, home to White Sands National Park (individual posting later).
The plan was to drive the 70 miles to Las Cruces for the night but there was a landslide, resulting in a detour adding an addition 50 miles, resulting us ending up back in Texas (briefly) again.
Eventually we made it to Las Cruces, and the next morning started on the literal home stretch.
After 2000 miles we have reached our new home state! With this move we have a fantastic opportunity for new sights and experiences, so stay tuned….

La Merced Cathedral and four other churches
The great Lisbon earthquake of 1755 is the main reason why there is only a handful of ancient things left in Huelva. This is particularly noticeable in the churches because the city only has five religious buildings of importance from the time before the disaster.
They are La Merced Cathedral, the church of San Pedro, the Hermitage de La Soledad, the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de La Cinta and the church of La Concepcion.
We will start with the Cathedral of La Merced, which was built in 1605. Pretty late if we consider that the usual thing in Andalusia was to build temples as the Reconquest progressed, that is, between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Its date of birth is reflected on the appearance of its façade, which in any case has been modified over with time and the earthquakes. And we say earthquakes, in the plural, because up to three have affected the building throughout its history.
After the worst one of all, the Lisbon one, a good part of the temple was rebuilt, and an opulent baroque construction remained which had to wait until the twentieth century to become a cathedral. In its interior, you can see the famous image of the Virgin de la Cinta carved by Juan Martinez Monañes.
But the fact is that the cathedral is not the oldest church in Huelva. This honour belongs to San Pedro, which was erected over an Arab mosque, and which is pretty clear. Despite the damage caused by the damned earthquake and the works that followed, the Mudejar features are still present in the temple and mixed with the Baroque compose a distinct image.
The Hermitage of La Soledad, on the other hand, not only served for worship. It was also used as a teaching centre, and between its walls, the grammar of the language was taught back in the seventeenth century; it has also served as a hospital, asylum and even a rehearsal venue for a music band.
The Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de La Cinta, dating from the fifteenth century, is another religious building that you can take a look whether you have outbursts of faith or not. This is the place where Christopher Columbus went, as soon as he arrived from his little adventure, to light a candle in gratitude for coming out save from the great storm he had to face on his return trip.
Finally, you can go to Mendez Nuñez Street and see the church of La Concepcion. This one is from the year 1515, and apart from the cataclysm of 1755, it had to suffer several damages in the Civil War. As you can see, this is truly a list of survivors…

The artistic glass chandeliers Golden Century 087 recall the colours and style of the venetian architectures.
The Golden Century 087 models are made with attention to details, they decorate and embellish each kind of space.
The Golden Century collection is available in many different sizes and colours, and it can be customised to suit specific needs.
The glass chandelier Golden Century 087 by MULTIFORME lighting is a tribute to the magic and the richness of the XVIIIth Venice. The glass chandelier Golden Century 087 presents the same structure of the Golden Century 086, but with a variation, that is the upward lights.
Several techniques have been used to manufacture this lighting work: the arms' surface is worked with the "rigadin ritorto" technique (a twisted ribbed texture) and embellished with tiny decorations, while the spherical elements along the stem has a "balloton" texture (a grid-like surface) and some "morrise" (tiny decorative elements) decorate the whole structure.
Other decorative elements are the flowers and the pendant elements on the arms. The catalogue includes classic colours such as gold and crystal glass, delicate pastel tones exalt the tiny and precious decorations on the arms and stems.
In the catalogue, each collection includes a series of lighting works: ceiling lights, chandeliers, floor lights, bedside lamps, table lights and other customised solutions.
Clear venetian glass chandelier, 5 lights.
Artistic glass wall lamp, 2 lights, gold leaf.
Blown glass wall lamp, 1 light, gold leaf.


Asha felt the soft contours of the tiny shoes.The cute bow sewed over the baby pink woolen wooed her to defy superstitions this time.

Uff! I'll confess - I was worried about heart-wrenching takes like these with this prompt. It's well done though, Uma!
Well, this was the first thought that came to me and I went by it. Thank you, Sid!
This hits too close home for comfort. The saddest thing ever - to lose a baby. You wove in so much in those 55 words.
I'm sorry to hear that, Tulika. Hugs!
55 words. But enough to make the reader feel the pain. Any form of loss is difficult to deal with, but it is esp. difficult in the case of a baby.

These past few days, I have been examining the impressive collection produced by Anne Walmsley and Stanley Greaves, in collaboration with Christopher Cozier, Art in the Caribbean: An Introduction (London: New Beacon Books, 2010).
The "Gallery" presents 40 artworks—including paintings, sculpture, ceramics, artifacts, photography, video, installations, and a performance piece/costume/kinetic sculpture—made in the Caribbean from the 1940s to the 2000s. These works attest to a broad region steeped in African, Amerindian, Asian, and European art traditions reflecting their endless combinations and interlaced development. Each work is reproduced full-page, in color, coupled with an explanatory text. The Gallery includes works by artists representing Aruba, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Suriname, and Trinidad.
The Gallery section is complemented by very useful sections: Historical Background, Time Line, and Glossary of Art Terms. The Historical Background section outlines art production throughout the Caribbean region spanning from the pre-Columbian, colonial, and early independence periods to contemporary development. Illustrated by 100 smaller images, this section is divided into areas according to geo-political context and colonization patterns—Spanish, French, British, and Dutch—and further grouped by individual countries or groups of countries. The Time Line lists main historical events and art developments allowing for sense of chronological comparison, from 5000BC to this decade. The Glossary of Art Terms is equally helpful, followed by a select bibliography and a listing of illustrations and their sources.
Anne Walmsley is a British-born researcher and writer, specializing in Caribbean arts, with experience of secondary school teaching and educational publishing in the region.
Stanley Greaves is a Guyanese-born artist and art teacher whose art educational posts have ranged from secondary school to art colleges/universities in Guyana and Barbados.

Origin Energy releases statement on Mortlake explosion
Admin July 10, 2019 July 10, 2019 Electricity, News, Safety and Training 0
Origin Energy has released a statement on the explosion at Mortlake Station.
Origin's Mortlake Power Station, in western Victoria, experienced an electrical fault in one of its two generating units.
The Country Fire Authority attended the site and returned operational control to Origin within three hours. There were no casualties nor any adverse impact on the local community.
The power station continues to operate with the remaining generator available to supply the grid.
Origin has informed the Australian Energy Market Operator that, following an initial assessment of the impacted unit, it expects to bring that unit back online by 20 December 2019.
Executive General Manager, Energy Supply and Operations, Greg Jarvis, said, "Origin will work with the market operator and our suppliers with the aim of making the damaged unit available ahead of the summer peak and to reduce the impact on customers."
Mortlake is a gas peaking power station and the impacted unit represents less than three per cent of Victoria's total installed generation capacity.

The entire Merrin and Cranston Architects family had a reality check just recently.
We engaged with the "Virtual Dementia Tour" as presented by The Churches of Christ in Queensland. This process attempts to give each individual the ability to experience life for a very short time, just as someone who lives with this debilitating condition does every day.
With our senses wildly over stimulated and heavily impaired, we were tasked with simple daily activities, all of which had become virtually impossible, and utterly confusing.
While this was quite confronting, for most of us, we knew it would be over shortly, but there was the reality check.
Many people who engage with our buildings either live this as daily life or are family or carers who have to support these individuals.
For some of the wider Merrin and Cranston family, this is already a reality, but the "Virtual Dementia Tour" brought a renewed focus and a reminder of the little things that can matter. For the others, the tour has been a stepping off point for further design inputs and a greater understanding, no matter what the skill base.
So, if we were to some up what we learned…..

Studies Show Investors Hesitate to Invest in Start-Ups
Investors are now becoming thoughtful before making an investment in the start-ups.
Professor of Department of Management Studies, Indian Institute of Technology- Madras, Thillai Rajan says that there are only around 8.3% new ventures that successfully get funded because of insufficient funds and he released the India Venture Capital and Private Equity Report 2016, bearing title 'Inspiration and Momentum for the Gladiators' at TiECON 2016.
According to their reports, Rajan said, only one from the 875 start-ups that are started can manage to get atleast four rounds of funding.
There are 6% start-ups that take up incubation or accelerator programme and around in the 875, 75 manage to get the first funding, 15 make it to the second round and 5 drag to the third round of funding.
Rajan, who was a co-author in the study, said that start-ups between 2005 and 2015 was estimated to Rs 1, 11,700 crore. There was a 42% annual growth rate with more than 10,000 start-ups being funded.
Angel Funding
Between 2008 and 2015 there has been an annual average growth of 124% in the country shown by Angel deals. Angel deals have helped in increasing the annual growth rate of 205% in the estimated amount invested from 2008 to 2015. There has also been an increase in the investors of Angel deals which has risen to 107% annually on an average.
Rajan, also pointed out in the steady decrease in the average age of the start-up when angel investment started funding in 2008 which was 4.77 to 0.54 years in 2015. When the start-ups received funding from angel their age was the highest at Chennai when compared to other big cities.
Senior Charter Member of TiE Chenna and Vice Chairman of Cognizant, Lakshmi Narayanan said that investment got from an angel by a start-up has gone up, in 2009 the amount funded was Rs.10.63 million which has gone up to Rs. 46.76 million in 2015. An average angel investor now invests Rs. 16.95 million which was Rs.2.15 million in 2009.
About two-thirds of angel's funding goes to six tier 1 cities which is around Rs. 661.29 billion, tier 2 cities got 306 billion while tier 3 cities were funded with Rs. 19.74 billion.

Q: how to use more than one ps in distributed tensorflow? I am trying to run the distributed tensorflow. But I have some troubles.
Firstly, it can process 35 images/sec on a single GPU(GTX TITAN X),single host(intel E5-2630 v3), however running it with the distributed code can only process 26 images/sec each process on 4 GPUs ,single host. Moreover, it can process 8.5 images/sec on 2 hosts, each with 4 GPUs. So the performance of this distributed version seems very poor. Could anybody give me some suggestions that why I got such a poor result.
Secondly, I wonder whether more ps server can improve the performance. So I tried to use 2 ps server, the program was blocked with log info :

CreateSession still waiting for response from worker: /job:ps/replica:0/task:1

I ran the program on the slurm system, so I used the python multiprocessing model to start the ps server.
def get_slurm_env():
    node_list = expand_hostlist(os.environ['SLURM_NODELIST'])
    node_id = int(os.environ['SLURM_NODEID'])
    tasks_per_node = int(os.environ['SLURM_NTASKS_PER_NODE'])

    # It is difficult to assign the port and gpu id in slurm env.
    # The assigned gpu in different host is not always the same, and you nerver know
    # which gpu is assigned in another host.
    # Different slurm job may run in the same machine, so the port num may be conflict as well
    task_id = int(os.environ['SLURM_PROCID'])
    task_num = int(os.environ['SLURM_NTASKS'])
    visible_gpu_ids = os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'].split(',')
    visible_gpu_ids = [int(gpu) for gpu in visible_gpu_ids]
    worker_port_list=[FLAGS.worker_port_start + incr for incr in range(len(visible_gpu_ids))]

    FLAGS.worker_hosts = ["%s:%d" % (name, port) for name in node_list for port in worker_port_list]
    assert len(FLAGS.worker_hosts) == task_num, 'Job count is not equal %d : %d' % (len(FLAGS.worker_hosts), task_num)

    FLAGS.worker_hosts = ','.join(FLAGS.worker_hosts)
    FLAGS.ps_hosts = ["%s:%d" % (name, FLAGS.ps_port_start) for name in node_list]
    FLAGS.ps_hosts = ','.join(FLAGS.ps_hosts)
    FLAGS.job_name = "worker"
    FLAGS.task_id = task_id
    os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = str(visible_gpu_ids[task_id%tasks_per_node])

    tf.logging.info('Setup ps process, id: %d' % FLAGS.task_id)
    os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = ""
    server = tf.train.Server(cluster, job_name="ps", task_index=task_id)
    server.join()
    tf.logging.info('Stop ps process, id: %d' % FLAGS.task_id)

def main(unused_args):
    get_slurm_env()

    # Extract all the hostnames for the ps and worker jobs to construct the
    # cluster spec.
    ps_hosts = FLAGS.ps_hosts.split(',')
    worker_hosts = FLAGS.worker_hosts.split(',')
    tf.logging.info('PS hosts are: %s' % ps_hosts)
    tf.logging.info('Worker hosts are: %s' % worker_hosts)

    cluster_spec = tf.train.ClusterSpec({'ps': ps_hosts,
                                   'worker': worker_hosts})
    if FLAGS.task_id == 0:
        p = multiprocessing.Process(target = ps_runner, args = ({'ps': ps_hosts,'worker': worker_hosts}, 0))
        p.start()
    server = tf.train.Server(
        {'ps': ps_hosts,
         'worker': worker_hosts},
         job_name=FLAGS.job_name,
         task_index=FLAGS.task_id)

    # `worker` jobs will actually do the work.
    dataset = ImagenetData(subset=FLAGS.subset)
    assert dataset.data_files()
    # Only the chief checks for or creates train_dir.
    if FLAGS.task_id == 0:
        if not tf.gfile.Exists(FLAGS.train_dir):

Encyclopedia of Anti-Revisionism On-Line
Statement by the New York Collective on uniting with the League of Revolutionary Struggle (M-L)

The New York Collective, a small Marxist-Leninist collective, has decided to dissolve itself and merge with the League of Revolutionary Struggle (M-L). The Collective and the League (and before as the August 29th Movement (M-L) and I Wor Kuen) have held discussions and carried on joint practice since 1976.
Our historical roots are from the Puerto Rican national movement and independence movement. Up until 1976, we were influenced by the "Revolutionary Wing" circle and its metaphysics, idealism, dogmatism and sectarianism. The August 29th Movement (M-L) was particularly important in helping guide our motion forward. We held principled discussions and struggle with the comrades from ATM and united with ATM's criticisms of the "Wing."
Some of our recent practice has included active participation in the struggle against cutbacks and attacks on special programs at the City College of New York, and supporting the defense of Vicente "Panama" Alba, a Puerto Rican revolutionary nationalist fighter who has been the target of state repression. We have been active in the New York Committee to Free the Puerto Rican Nationalist Prisoners and in community work in Williamsburg, a community of primarily Puerto Ricans and Dominicans in Brooklyn, New York.
Our experience acquired through practice and discussions with the League showed us the principled way in which they wage struggle within the communist movement as well as their correct stands in the working class, national and other mass movements. The League has always been honest and consistent with us and treated our collective as equals. They have been helpful in summing up and struggling against the "Revolutionary Wing" and Workers Viewpoint Organization, both of which have played a serious wrecking role in the New York area.
The decision to dissolve the New York Collective and join the League of Revolutionary Struggle (M-L) is based on the need for Marxist-Leninists to unite and advance the task of party building. We realized that our level of political unity was more advanced than our state of actual relations, that is, being separate organizations. We also realized that based on our level of political unity and our limitations as a small collective, there was no basis for us to exist as a separate organization.
We recognize the line of the League of Revolutionary Struggle (M-L) as the leading line in the communist movement today, and its principled stand of putting the interests of the revolutionary movement above its own organizational interests.
We feel that our merger is a step forward in building unity with Marxist-Leninists and party building, and in other tasks facing Marxist-Leninists in this country.

It's that time of the year again when we send pigs down the road. Gary backed the trailer up to gate – a difficult task uphill in the mud. We use hog panels to create a simple chute from gate to trailer.
These are the pigs that were born here last spring. They are tamworths which take a little longer to grow but once they start they really take off.
Here is Gary with the biggest pig.
Their breakfast was placed in the trailer and they calmly went up the ramp. We put the trailer up there with them a few days early so they are used to it. Less stress on everyone that way.

This corporate image film sets out to tell the story of Germany's professional sound system giant, d&b audiotechnik. Profiling the companies' various areas of focus, key personalities and its broad scope was a tall order, but also one of the most enjoyable projects I've been associated with in a long time.
But I should let d&b audiotechnik explain who they are: As the name implies, a d&b audiotechnik system is not just a loudspeaker. Nor is it merely a sum of the components: loudspeakers, amplifiers, accessories and software. Whether it is the loudspeakers, electronics, hardware accessories, or software tools, from R&D, through to prototype production, testing and finally manufacturing, d&b products are one hundred percent made in Germany. The company constantly researches and invests in state of the art production processing tools, and has a highly engaged professional workforce that is regularly trained in the most current technologies and equipment. So from the company's small beginnings of two hundred square meters it can now claim a manufacturing facility of over twenty-three thousand square meters, not to mention its ever developing top of the range, high quality sound reinforcement products.
And of course, Made in Germany.

This is a short corporate promo highlights the accomplishments and operations of the renowned Martini-Klinik in Hamburg, Germany.
With around 2,200 prostate cancer operations per year, the Martini-Klinik is not only the biggest Prostate Cancer Center in Germany, but in fact the number one worldwide. Compared to the biggest American university clinics, the Mayo-Clinic and the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, the Martini-Klinik performs almost double the amount of operations. This specialization on one disease enables a very high diagnostic rate and a speedy recovery as diagnosis and postoperative care is carefully monitored by chief physicians. More than 98 per cent of the patients treated would recommend treatment at the Martini-Klinik: one of the most valuable indicators of high satisfaction.

December 19, 2014 will forever live in the hearts of those who cherish the Rocky Mountain Front. It was on this date that President Barack Obama signed the Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act into law. Decades of local efforts to protect the Front culminated with the president's signature, as did a campaign that Montana Wilderness Association had been conducting for more than 10 years. It was the first time in 31 years, since passage of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness Act in 1983, that Montana gained new wilderness designation.
MWA has had an office in Choteau, a small community along the Rocky Mountain Front, since the early 2000s, building the relationships and the grassroots support that set the stage for passage of the Heritage Act. MWA staffers and volunteer activists have worked with ranchers, hunters, anglers, outfitters, guides, local business owners, tribal members, public officials, and other conservationists in finding the common ground that made the creation and passage of the Heritage Act possible.
Located in northern Montana where the prairie washes into the Rockies, the Rocky Mountain Front is one of the most productive wildlife habitat areas in the Lower 48, providing exceptional habitat for grizzly bears, elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, wolves, wolverines, lynx, and an incredible diversity of other species, both fauna and flora.
Starting with the Blackfeet, people along the Front have always known they live some place extraordinary. The Blackfeet consider the Front the "backbone of the world" and trekked to its peaks and ridges questing for visions. The Europeans who later settled here took part in establishing, in 1913, the Sun River Game Preserve, helping bring Montana's elk herd back from the brink of extinction. In 1964, locals fought for passage of the Wilderness Act, as it established the Bob Marshall Wilderness in their backyard.
In the summer of 1977, a group of people living along the Rocky Mountain Front learned in an outfitters meeting that the U.S. Forest Service planned on issuing leases for oil and gas development up and down the Rocky Mountain Front. That was the day, one might argue, that the seed for the Rocky Mountain Front Heritage Act was sown. People who lived and worked along the Front – including a school teacher, a rancher, a taxidermist, an outfitter, a lawyer, and a backcountry horseman – realized that their backyard, and one of Montana's most cherished and iconic landscapes, was at grave risk. They decided to fight back against those leases, and they eventually won.
In 2006, many of these same locals persuaded the federal government to withdraw mineral leases on the Front.
In 2007, after years of input from the public, the Forest Service issued a travel plan for the Front that focused on traditional recreation and minimized motorized use. This conservation-minded plan helped galvanize the same group that fought the oil and gas leases back in the 1970s and inspired them to start work on a piece of legislation that would permanently protect the Rocky Mountain Front. Their passion brought fresh blood to the table, including a slew of Montana Wilderness Association volunteers and staffers.
After several years of poring over maps spread across kitchen tables, drawing and redrawing the lines on the map, the Heritage Act began to take shape. Several more years of public meetings resulted in more changes and a final product that a consensus of people on the Front and in the rest of Montana could agree to.
In recent years, MWA's Rocky Mountain Front Field Director Casey Perkins has worked closely with local advocates in hammering out the details of the Heritage Act and getting it from the Front to the halls of Congress.
On December 10, 2014 some 34 years after that first meeting to talk about fighting back against the oil and gas leases, many from that original group met in a hotel conference room in Choteau for a routine meeting of the Coalition to Protect the Rocky Mountain Front, an organization that evolved from those early meetings in the late 1970s. At the beginning of the meeting, they learned that Montana's entire Congressional delegation was about to hold a press conference in Washington, D.C. to announce that the Heritage Act was included in a public lands package being considered by Congress. The entire Front was poised for permanent protection.
Later, after the Congressional delegation finished the press conference, Senator Jon Tester called the group meeting in Choteau.
Now that the Heritage Act is law, MWA is dedicated to making sure it is implemented smoothly. We continue to engage the local community, the Congressional delegation, and the U.S. Forest Service to successfully and transparently make sure the bill is enacted.
Coalition partners will play an active role in the development of both the noxious weed plan and the non-motorized recreation study--two provisions of the Heritage Act that seek to improve opportunities and management of the natural and recreation resources on the Front.
During the summer of 2015, the Rocky Mountain district hosted two Montana Conservation Corps interns to assist the USFS with on-the-ground management activities such as hanging new signs, clearing trails, and conducting weed inventories. These positions were made possible with support from MWA, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to this landscape.

Gothmog was an Orc warlord in the services of Sauron. He was the leader of the Minas Tirith siege during the War of the Ring. Also, he was second-in-command of Sauron's army (the Witch-king being first), due to his bravery and beauty. Gothmog suffered from a rare disease, probably elephantiasis.
Gothmog was the son of Jabba the Hutt and your mom. He was born in Mordor, unknown date. He grew up with love and care, playing with other orcs and trolls. Nobody mocked him for his face. Only one did, an orc called Grngksd. The next morning Grngksd was found dead in the toilet. Jabba was so proud of him and he recommended him to play in the Star wars. However, George Lucas refused, saying "take your son to WoW or something".
Disappointed, Gothmog got a job as a babysitter and later as a cashier at KFC. There, he met Sauron, who was searching for scary creatures to enlist his army. He sensed Gothmog's talent and offered him the position of lieutenant. Gothmog accepted immediately. He resigned and punched his boss.
Gothmog was taught the art of war by Lord Sauron himself. He proved an excellent pupil, as he became a skilled warrior and leader. Sauron was pleased with his progress and soon assigned him an important task: steal Galadriel's stamp collection. Gothmog managed to take it and that made Elrond extremely angry.
When the War of the Ring broke out, Gothmog was commisioned to attack Minas Tirith, capital city of Gondor. Assisted by the Nazgul, he easily took Osgiliath, which was defended by Faramir and some worthless knights. All Gondorians incarcerated in Minas Tirith, waiting for the enemy. Gothmog though didn't hurry and regrouped his army. Denethor, the stupid Steward of Gondor, intervened and created a real mess. He ordered an assault that ended in slaughter. Gothmog was laughing on Denethor's decision. "If every human was like him, I would be the ruler of Middle-Earth", he wrote in his diary.
For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia think they have an article about Gothmog (Third Age).
Gothmog attacked with all his forces, making Denethor crying like a toddler. Gandalf and Gondorians fought bravely, dut they were outnumbered. Gothmog enjoyed a glass of fine champagne, while watching Minas Tirith burning. "Aaah... better than cinema", he said.
But nothing was over yet — as nothing ever is. Suddenly, a large army of Rohirrim attacked, lead by King Theoden. The orcs had their asses kicked. Literally. Gothmog himself was killed, after losing his left testicle. Poor Gothmog.

Currently there are a few mobile operators in Saudi Arabia.STC (Saudi Telecom Organization), that was included in 1998, which is federal government owned and greatest Telecom business, Mobily (Etihad Etisalat) that was founded in 2004 by a consortium led by Etisalat, the UAE primarily based telecom conglomerate and Zain that is the latest player in the mobile telecommunication sector of Saudi Arabia. Setting up on the knowledge of the Zain Group of UAE. All these three furnishing Voice expert services, SMS and MMS expert services, Hottest facts expert services like 3G and three.5G expert services in their very own design. I individually charge STC very best, for the reason that they have the most broad community with much less Network complications.

Purpose: Somatic mutations in the human cytosolic isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) gene cause profound changes in cell metabolism and are a common feature of gliomas with unprecedented predictive and prognostic impact. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy addresses the molecular composition of cells and tissue and was investigated to deduct the IDH1 mutation status.
Experimental Design: We tested the technique on human cell lines that were transduced with wild-type IDH1 or mutated IDH1 and on 34 human glioma samples. IR spectra were acquired at 256 positions from cell pellets or tissue cryosections. Moreover, IR spectra were obtained from fresh, unprocessed biopsies of 64 patients with glioma.
Results: IDH1 mutation was linked to changes in spectral bands assigned to molecular groups of lipids and proteins in cell lines and human glioma. The spectra of cryosections of brain tumor samples showed high interpatient variability, for example, bands related to calcifications at 1113 cm−1. However, supervised classification recognized relevant spectral regions at 1103, 1362, 1441, 1485, and 1553 cm−1 and assigned 88% of the tumor samples to the correct group. Similar spectral positions allowed the classification of spectra of fresh biopsies with an accuracy of 86%.
Conclusions: Here, we show that vibrational spectroscopy reveals the IDH1 genotype of glioma. Because it can provide information in seconds, an implementation into the intraoperative workflow might allow simple and rapid online diagnosis of the IDH1 genotype. The intraoperative confirmation of IDH1 mutation status might guide the decision to pursue definitive neurosurgical resection and guide future in situ therapies of infiltrative gliomas.

I like iced tea, usually unsweetened with a touch of fresh lemon. Sometimes, with a touch of demerara sugar. It's a cool alternative to hot coffee and it's pretty healthy too.
However, there comes a time when plain ol' drinks simply won't do, and you need that extra special kick to get you into that relaxed groove. Like…iced tea on nitro, otherwise known as a Long Island Iced Tea.
For those of you who don't know, a Long Island Iced Tea is a mixed drink which contains gin, tequila, vodka, rum and triple sec as well as other ingredients (as if we need anything else), depending on the recipe.
The origin of the Long Island Iced Tea is rather clouded, much like you'd be after drinking one or two.
The generally accepted origin is that a bartender invented the drink at the Oak Beach Inn located on Long Island, New York. The other story is that it was invented by "Old Man Bishop" in a community called Long Island located in Kingsport, Tennessee.
Which one do I believe? Who cares, as long as I'm drinking. Here, I'll give you the "Old Man Bishop" version. Enjoy!
Squeeze a lemon half and a lime half in a highball glass.
Then pour in 4 to 5 oz. Soda Water (Coca-Cola, Pepsi, or RC Cola) without stirring.

1. The idea of "normal" human attributes is historically contingent.
2. (Historical) ideas are not always accidental.
i'm interested in the idea of normal as well. I always have been because I've never felt normal.
I dont' enjoy watching football. I don't enjoy grilling out. I don't enjoy most things that they typical "normal" male American should enjoy. I don't hunt or fish. The list could go on.
I'm interested in why you have a picture of an MRI as the image for this post. Are you normal logocentric and if not who is? Is there really a normal or is normal sort of a box to fit us in in order control us.
is there a benefit to having a definition of what is normal? does society benefit from the norm or does it do more harm than good? all questions I've asked myself from age 13 on. I'll be 36 in a few weeks and I've still not come close to answering these questions.
thanks for your thoughtful comment. the MRI is a catch-all for this idea. it relates specifically to you and this site, but it has other things to say as well. it is, for example, the most advanced method we have for picturing that place we conventionally assume houses the mind. i don't believe that the mind exists exclusively in the brain. yet we think in terms of, as you mentioned, finite containers. that is, things that can be explicitly identified and thus contained. whenever most of us are conditioned to think in such terms at a given moment, our experience of 'the social' reflects those assumptions and becomes a very real part of our beliefs. and around this experience forms the idea of the norm.
how and why the conditioning occurs are questions that we, as a "multi-disciplinary" species, have not come close to addressing. but i strongly suspect that all of it is not an accident of evolution or mere historical circumstance. rather, i often sense that the converse is true.
yes, MRIs and me. the world even. thank you. i think that's a CT scan actually but that's where it all starts. that's where they get inside and say, lookie there you aren't normal and or you have issues. I hear you loud and clear.
if the mind is not exclusively in the mind where else is it? I am interested in where else it might be. The heart has been mentioned in human mythology for so long I wonder if there might be something to that. in some cultures the spirit lives in ones belly. who really knows. maybe it's the entire being.
so are you suggesting that the idea of "normal" is evolution pushing for a norm. that there is a possible norm that is indeed ideal?
i have accepted variance in evolution as part of the system. for example cancer leading one to different (maybe even higher) forms of existence. so many times i have heard that cancer is a blessing in disguise. it is slowly becoming the statistical norm.
recently i have read that some well known researchers on cancer believe that tumors are functional organs that exist for a purpose. that they are taking in toxins and can exist in a homeostasis with the individual.
Normally I'm an abnormal person.
I D V 8 from the norm.
I cherish veggies with fish.
what is the norm? can anyone define it? why do you trust fish? what about mercury contamination? nice little rhyme.
It's been a while since I read up on mercury contamination. I think I read something about fish higher up on the food chain having higher mercury concentration. I've mostly been eating low-food-chain fish lately, because that happens to be the cheapest.
Very few foods are 100% ideal. I work with what I've got to work with, and so far fish seems to be working well in my diet. And I'm not convinced that high-mercury fish are unhealthy when eaten in moderation. I haven't deeply researched the matter, and don't feel the need to at this particular moment. Maybe one day I'll look more into it.
Is it normal to eat insects?
In some cultures it is. And in some cultures it's considered weird.
Great responses. The Norm video is hilarious. Norm being the babies first word is great. I wonder how many other babies first words are Fries or Burger these days. I know Fries was one of my kids first words. Top five at least.
That's normal by the way.
I agree with you on mercury and the bottom feeders being the healthiest to eat but I worry myself about where to draw the line.
Currently I don't eat anything with eyes because for me I easily began eating more fish, then an organic chicken is added to the menu then I'm eating steak. It's a slippery slope for me.
I'll stay away fro moths for now.
Bear Grylls will eat anything. I've seen him catch and cut a deer open and eat its heart on camera to stay warm. I'm not doing that anytime soon either. Impressive to watch.
Interesting perspectives though for sure. Thanks for sharing.


America Airlines is playing catch-up in a big way with its major single-aisle jet orders with both Boeing and Airbus—it's finally trading in the rest of its gas-guzzlers.
U.S. airlines have been slow to upgrade their fleets – something travelers notice when they board an older, noisier jet these days, especially if the seat cushions are frayed and the ceiling panels have yellowed. But there has been progress, highlighted Wednesday by American's two big orders for the Boeing 737 family and the Airbus A320 family. American has an average fleet age of about 15 years, and has 239 MD-80 and 767-200 jets flying domestic routes that average more than 20 years old.
That age really hurts American at the fuel pump. If you divide the flying an airline does – measured as seat-miles, where a seat-mile is one seat flown one mile – by the fuel it consumed, you get a measure of fuel efficiency. The seat-miles-per-gallon measure can be affected by lots of things – airlines that fly long routes with wide-body jets tend to be more fuel efficient, for example, on a seat-mile basis. Younger jets are obviously more fuel efficient, too.
But at the end of the day, how much it costs an airline to fly a seat-mile is a huge driver of how profitable that airline will be. One reason American may be the only U.S. major airline to report losses in the second quarter this year is that it's at a big fuel-efficiency disadvantage.
