Fabric Genomics API
==========

Introduction
------------

March 5th 2018

Fabric Genomics provides an API based on the HTTPS protocol, using HTTP requests (GET,
POST, PUT and DELETE) to securely transmit variation
data, launch analyses and retrieve finished report data.

With the exception of the online documentation, every request must authenticate
against our database of API Keys, providing the login and password according
to the HTTP basic access authentication method (see `Wikipedia - basic access`_).
Please contact support_ to have them generate an API Key for your application.

An API Key is tied to a specific Fabric Enterprise user, referred to as
the API User hereon. Any email messages generated when using the Opal API are sent
to the API User.

Fabric Genomics stores passwords in a one-way encrypted hash according to industry
standard security procedures.  Passwords cannot be recovered,
but we can issue a new API key upon request.

The API uses SSL-encrypted HTTP for its protocol, via the normal port for
secure HTTP, 443. Attempts to query the server with non-encrypted HTTP
request on port 80 (ie. http://api.fabricgenomics.com instead of
https://api.fabricgenomics.com) will return a 404 error response.

Most invalid requests (e.g. for invalid parameter values) return an HTTP status of
400, 404 or 422; authentication errors return an HTTP status of 401 or 403.

All dates and times are returned in PST for the US server, GMT for the EU server.

Uploading Genomes
-----------------
Once you obtain an API Key you can start uploading your samples to Fabric Enterprise for
annotation, analysis and clinical report generation.  API Keys are associated with a single
Workspace (a group of Projects and Users), and genomes must be uploaded to specific projects
within that Workspace. You may either use an existing project, or leverage the API to
create a new project for this purpose.

To create a Project use a POST request against the :ref:`create_project` endpoint.
You will need to specify a Project name and optionally a description and a parameter to
indicate how the project should be shared with existing and future members of your workspace.
Projects are identified by a numeric ID. This ID is necessary when uploading,
listing and otherwise accessing genomes and reports.

To upload a VCF file use the :ref:`upload` endpoint. For example, to upload a
VCF file to project 10, one would create a PUT request against

   https://api.fabricgenomics.com/projects/10/genomes

specifying an external ID, genome label, sex, assembly version and format as query parameters
(as opposed to form parameters), and including the entirety of the file as the
body of the request.  The assembly version must be hg19 (internally we handle
GRCh37 and hg19 interchangeably).

The Fabric Genomics Api accepts VCF 4.0+ (see http://samtools.github.io/hts-specs/VCFv4.2.pdf)
preferably containing a single sample column.  Multi-sample VCF's can be uploaded, however
the ID returned by the upload call cannot be used to launch reports. The Opal VCF parser accepts
quality and read depth data in a variety of formats. Please refer to the Opal user guide for more
information, or contact support_ for specific questions.

Upon successful parsing, the uploaded genome is queued for annotation by the
Fabric Genomics Pipeline.  Panel and exome VCF's usually annotate within minutes, while
full genomes can take longer.

If any genome fails to annotate, the system will send an email notification to
the API User as well as the Fabric Genomics Support Team.

Fabric Enterprise assigns a unique ID to all uploaded genomes. These IDs are used to
identify the genome within Fabric Enterprise. External IDs are an alternate method
to identify and find genomes within Fabric Enterprise. Fabric Enterprise does not enforce uniqueness of
the external ID.

:ref:`Relevant example Python scripts:`

- `Create a project <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/create_project.py>`_

- `Upload a genome <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/upload_genome.py>`_

- `Upload a folder of genomes <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/upload_genomes_folder.py>`_

- `Upload a folder of genomes, using a manifest <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/upload_genomes_folder_with_manifest.py>`_

.. _workflow_submission:

|

Launching Clinical Reports
--------------------------
A clinical report combines genome variant data with other information relevant
to the sample being tested, such as patient information and quality control data.

Once all genomes are successfully uploaded, the API can be used to submit them
for clinical reporting. However, it is possible to create a clinical report
that does not yet reference any genomes, and then attach the genomes at a later
point in time. Any of the report types elaborated below can be created with genomes, or --
by specifying "null" in the JSON payload's genome_id attributes -- without genomes. Then
the :ref:`add_genomes_to_report` endpoint can be used to later attach an uploaded genome or
completed vaast report.

- To launch an exome report you will need to specify a genome ID (or null), assay type, and a filter ID.
  Use the :ref:`create_report` endpoint to create a report in the queue. This action
  can be performed as soon as a successful genome upload is complete, and need not wait for
  annotation.  The new report is queued in a "Waiting" state, and the Fabric Enterprise application
  will submit the report for processing as soon as the annotation finishes. For exomes
  this step will take several minutes.

- To launch a family report you will need to specify a proband genome ID, assay type, a mother genome
  ID, and a father genome ID (or null values for all 3). You can then use the :ref:`create_report`
  endpoint to create a report in the queue. In this case the system will first annotate the three
  genomes, then run a VAAST analysis and finally queue the Clinical Report for processing.
  This will take several hours.

  If any of the genomes fail to annotate, or if there are issues with the VAAST run,
  the system will send an email notification to the API User as well as the Fabric Genomics
  Support Team.

- To submit a panel report you must specify a genome ID (or null), assay type, panel ID and optionally a filter ID. Use the :ref:`create_report` endpoint to create a report
  in the queue.  This action can be performed as soon as a successful upload is complete,
  and need not wait for annotation.  The new report is queued in Waiting state, and the
  Fabric Enterprise application will submit the report for processing as soon as the annotation finishes.

Once a clinical report has been created, the :ref:`post_patient_fields` endpoint can be used to upload
custom Patient information.

:ref:`Relevant example Python scripts:`

- `Launch a panel report with a new genome <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/launch_panel_report_new_genome.py>`_

- `Launch a panel report with an existing genome <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/launch_panel_report_existing_genome.py>`_

- `Launch a panel report with no genome attached <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/launch_panel_report_no_genome.py>`_

- `Launch a family report <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/launch_family_report.py>`_

- `Launch a family report with no genomes attached <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/launch_family_report_no_genome.py>`_

- `Add genome(s) to a clinical report <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/add_genome_to_cr.py>`_

- `Add patient information to a clinical report <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/post_patient_fields.py>`_

|

Uploading Quality Control Data
------------------------------
Quality control data, such as sequencing or alignment metrics, can be added to a clinical report.
Using the :ref:`post_qc_data` with a JSON payload consisting of, for example:

    {"Cluster density": 6, "Cluster PF": "3"}

will generate a Quality Control data entry for the clinical report, assuming that the assay type
associated with the clinical report contains those predefined quality control fields.

To check which quality control entries are associated with a clincal report, the following endpoint can be used (:ref:`get_qc_data`):

    https://api.fabricgenomics.com/reports/203/qc_data

:ref:`Relevant example Python scripts:`

- `View the assay types in a workspace <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/get_assay_types.py>`_

- `Add a quality control data entry to a clinical report <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/post_qc_data.py>`_

|

Extracting Report Variants
--------------------------
Once a clinical report has been completed and is ready to review,
its variants can be interpreted using the Fabric Enterprise web application, but can also be exported at any time using
the API.

To check that a clinical report's status is indeed "Ready to Review", use the :ref:`get_one_report`
and supply the ID of the report in question. Alternately, query all clinical reports by
report status to check whether the report is ready to review (:ref:`get_reports`). In addition,
reports can be found by accession, by external ID or genome ID, also using the above endpoint.

In the case that the user wishes to export all variants, for example to interpret them outside
of the Fabric Enterprise system, the following endpoint can be used:

   https://api.fabricgenomics.com/reports/203/variants

A second use case comes up once a report's variants have been interpreted and prioritized, when a technique such as Sanger
Sequencing might be employed in order to validate them. To export the variants with a given status,
for example the variants waiting in a "Pending" state, as VCF or JSON the :ref:`get_variants`
endpoint can be used. For example:

   https://api.fabricgenomics.com/reports/203/variants?status=REVIEWED&format=VCF

After external validation has been performed, the confirmed variants' validation status can be set at
the :ref:`set_variant_status` endpoint. This way, a webapp user
will see which variants have been confirmed when they review the clinical report.

:ref:`Relevant example Python scripts:`

- `Get a clinical report's status <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/get_report_status.py>`_
- `Get a clinical report's variants <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/get_report_variants.py>`_
- `Set a clinical report's variants' statuses <https://github.com/FabricGenomics/omicia_api_examples/blob/master/python/set_report_variants.py>`_

Ketchican, Alaska – One amazing place!
Hey friends! Today, Sunday, May 22, 2011 we arrived in Ketchikan, Alaska! This was the one day that we were torn on what excursion we were going to take! The debate was between snorkeling in the Pacific Northwest or going on the Deadliest Catch Boat! …. of course going to the Bering Sea on the Deadliest Catch boat won! Anyone that knows my hubby Paul knows how much he LOVES crab legs! He also is a huge fan of the The Deadliest Catch show! I could not let this opportunity pass him by! We boarded the boat and headed off for an amazing adventure! In addition to the crabbing, we got an awesome view of the bald eagles in their natural habitat!
After our morning on the Aluetian Ballad, we visited the town of Ketchikan. What a well kept little city! They even had a Harley Davidson store! Got Paul a great shirt and off we went!
After getting back on the ship, we enjoyed another great meal in the dining room (there certainly was no shortage of food!). When we returned back to our room our nightly pillow gift awaited! We actually received a claim ticket and had to wait until the next day to get them! We were each treated to a pair of Maui Jim's polorized sun glasses!
As if Alaska is not inspirational enough, I've got some card inspiration for you too!

Q: Simple script to find "lowest" available domain name I need a script to find out what is the lowest available domain name with a give TLD (say .com, .info, or .net).
For example, 1000423.com is free but 1000.com is taken.
Probably my spammiest question so far.
NOTE
I mean "lowest" domain name numerically (i.e. 1.com, 2.com, 3.com, ..., n.com, n+1.com, ...) and not shortest as in String.length.

A: In your web-capable language of choice:

*

*Ask the user for a top-level domain name.

*i <- 0.

*Send out an HTTP GET to a registrar to see if "i.(tld)" is taken.

*If it's not taken, notify the user and quit.

*i <- i + 1.

*Go to step 2.

You may need to add a loop delay to avoid the registrar thinking that you're trying to do a DOS attack.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, there's no central repository saying that a certain domain name is or isn't for sale. You'll have to look up a domain name and see if it's owned by any of the major domain name vendors (GoDaddy, etc.)

Boy oh boy, things have gotten pretty ugly in Washington. As most of you have probably heard, many of you live as it happened, a Republican House member last night shouted "YOU LIE" at President Obama during his speech on health care reform.
The crude response was met with boos from the left and stunned faces on the right. Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina certainly put himself on the national map with his outburst, but earned the scorn of both sides of the political fence in the process, despite his comely, savage tan. He issued an apology, something about his emotions getting the best of him, which was accepted on the President's behalf by Rahm Emmanuel. Seems like Obama wasn't really in the mood to chat with Wilson afterward.
Josh and I were talking about it this morning over a cigarette (I try to look cool while Josh smokes). Yelling out things like this is a long-standing tradition in the halls of Parliament, but it's pretty frowned upon here in the United States, where civil discourse is generally strived for, at least in theory. We both found it ironic that Bush wasn't called out like this over an eight year span by those who felt he told more than one lie regarding the war in Iraq, and Obama gets smacked down during his first eight months in a speech on making affordable health care available to all Americans.
Chances are Wilson will be vilified politically and praised by the likes of the Limbaughs and O'Reillys for "being brave enough to stand up for Americans," or something like that. As for his claim that Obama lied about illegal immigrants receiving the same benefits as American citizens, we can only check the facts. Factcheck.org is a good place to start, and here's what they had to say about it. CNN's "truth squad" chimed in as well.
So that's that - a new low has been reached in Washington and while Obama's speech has gotten good marks from the left, it seems that we're just as divided as ever as a country. It's a shame that the issue of health care reform, above all others, isn't one that we've been able to come together on yet.

An office phone booth offers privacy to make phone calls free of interruptions in an open plan or activity based office environment. The materials and design of the office pod provide a very effective sound environment. Due to great sound insulation the booth can be placed right next to the work station. The acoustic felt and the acoustic sheet made of recycled rubber fibre in the interior absorbs sound, making the space echo-free.
The Framery O interior is designed so that the user is always facing the acoustic paneling. Thanks to the electric socket using a laptop or phone charging is available. An additional option is the video conference tilting screen bracket enabling the attachment of various kinds of screens and also includes an LED lighting surround around the screen providing optimal lighting for video conferences. The phone pod also has a fan and can be easily personalised to match the surrounding space by changing the colour of the outside walls and the table.

Q: One question related to Java String split I found the following behavior of String split quite unpleasant:
String[] parts = "0..".split("\\.");

This would result in parts containing only "0"; however if the input is changed from "0.." to "..0"
String[] parts = "..0".split("\\.");

This would result in parts containing "", "", and "0".
Can someone help explain why split behaves in this way? How was this method implemented?

A: Quoting from Java docs: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)
This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.
This means that the empty strings are only included when there is at least one non-empty string that succeeds them.
import java.util.Arrays;
public class StringQ{

    public static void main(String args[]){
        String first = "0..";
        System.out.println(Arrays.asList(first.split("\\.")));
        // [0]
        String second = "..0";
        System.out.println(Arrays.asList(second.split("\\.")));
        // [, , 0]
        String third = "...0..0...";
        System.out.println(Arrays.asList(third.split("\\.")));
        // [, , , 0, , 0]
    }
}

Interview with EG's Clinton "Fear" Loomis: CD 4.0 is new EG's "first time seeing each other"
We asked the Evil Geniuses legacy player about the team's time together (or lack thereof), the incoming baby and which Captain's Draft-exclusive hero he dreads.
By Victoria Rose@riningear Jan 5, 2018, 9:00am EST
Share All sharing options for: Interview with EG's Clinton "Fear" Loomis: CD 4.0 is new EG's "first time seeing each other"
Evil Geniuses official website
It's only fitting that Captain's Draft 4.0 is taking place in Washington, D.C., as a winter storm in the capital city arrives following a flurry of changes in North American Dota. Even Evil Geniuses couldn't escape the changes with the arrival of Rasmus "MiSeRy" Filipsen onto the team. Now, the team has arrived as a direct invite to the non-traditional Dota Pro Circuit event and hope to start the new year off right.
Clinton "Fear" Loomis has remained loyal to the Evil Geniuses squad throughout it all. Known as the veteran of the team, he's worked in a number of positions over the year, from carry to support and even coach. He's even acquiring a new role as a father, as he recently announced a child with his wife, Sarah.
We caught a few minutes of Fear's day to chat with him about the team, the baby and which non-Captain's Mode hero he'd prefer to see (or not to see) during this offbeat event.
The Flying Courier: You guys had some shuffles recently? How's that working out for you so far, since this is your first major event?
Clinton "Fear" Loomis: We haven't played together at all yet, so I don't know we'll see after the next couple of tournaments!
TFC: Well, Misery's been in the United States for a while, how's he holding up in your house?
Fear: We actually haven't spent any time together.
TFC: Really!? None?
Fear: First time seeing each other on this particular team. It was holiday break, Christmas, New Year, so everyone went home and kind of celebrated with their family. This is our first time playing even a single game together. It's completely new.
TFC: So this is like running into each other in a pub?
Fear: Yeah, pretty much.
TFC: Whatever works! So for Evil Geniuses, has competition in North America felt very tough for you? Have you had any challenges or teams you've felt like you're working against?
Fear: In North America, I feel like there are teams we think are pretty good but in the end we won both the Major Qualifiers pretty easily, so the competition has been a little hard for us but when we got to the main stage against the other teams that had better practice than us even though we're the best it still wasn't good enough, so the competition in North America wasn't as good as we hoped it would be going through all these qualifiers. We played against other teams like Liquid, Secret in Europe, they seemed to have better practice.
TFC: What role do you think your kid is going to take up?
Fear: Carry, for sure. That's how almost all players start when they want to play Dota and win, it's the most enjoyable and you'll be in the limelight.
TFC: And you'll feed him a lot, right?

Syfy has officially given a cast-contingent pilot order to the small screen version of Terry Gilliam' 1995 feature "12 Monkeys" that was first announced last month.
Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett ("Terra Nova") penned the hour-long pilot on spec with filming to begin in November.
This is the second pilot Syfy has ordered recently based on a feature, the other being "Dominion" which is based on 2010's Paul Bettany angels movie "Legion".
Syfy Plans TV Series With "Legion" Based On

Syfy has greenlit a 90-minute pilot for "Dominion" a drama that serves essentially as a sequel to the Paul Bettany-led 2010 supernatural feature "Legion".
The story is set 25 years in the future after a war between an army of angels and mankind has transformed the world. It follows the perilous journey of a rebellious young soldier who discovers he's the unlikely saviour of humanity.
That film's helmer Scott Stewart will direct the pilot from a script by Vaun Wilmott ("S ...
A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, "Watchmen" is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he re ...

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces ...

What would Reema think of this? After the war in Syria, and after when the coalition has stopped IS, who can help Syria become the same country as before, when Reema could go to her school and live in her own beloved country?

Roger Federer Is Making a New Name for Himself in Sneakers
ByTim Newcomb
Image via On
Roger Federer finally has a sneaker he can call his own. Yes, he was connected to plenty of models during his long run with Nike, but those shoes usually didn't bear his actual name—the most they typically got were his initials. The changes now with the Roger, the fittingly named pair from Swiss running shoe brand On that will be its first release for tennis legend and now-partner Federer.
Federer, who has the most Grand Slam titles in men's tennis history, signed on as an investor in the Zurich-based brand in November 2019 with hints then of future Federer-led product. The product starts with this week's announcement of the Roger Centre Court 0-Series, a limited-edition, tennis-inspired lifestyle sneaker releasing to coincide with the first time he won Wimbledon 17 years ago.
"I'm tired of wearing uncomfortable shoes for a while now," Federer says. "Going into lifestyle is something very special for me. I have always enjoyed this silhouette and I wanted to do it the On way."
The Roger is a Swiss take on tennis heritage made by infusing lifestyle designs with performance comfort technology. "The minimalist design and easy comfort of On's shoes had me hooked years ago," Federer says. "I wanted to infuse the tennis sneaker with the same lightness, comfort, and agility for every day."
On, known for its CloudTec sole, embeds the well-known shape of the outsole within more material, helping give the sneaker a typical tennis styling and hiding the brand's signature geometry. But the technology is still there, along with the brand's Speedboard, designed for agility and energy return, and visible in black on the underside of the shoe. The outsole includes a herringbone pattern.
"The CloudTec is what makes On so famous and so comfortable," Federer says. "I wanted to make sure we incorporated the great things for On. For me, it was to keep it super comfortable."
The vegan leather upper comes in crisp white—referencing, of course, the original dates of Wimbledon—with touches of black stitching and gold lettering for a minimalistic aesthetic. The suede tongue patch offers a bit of tonal contrast, as does a touch of gum sole that peaks out. The upper includes a small red Swiss flag, "The Roger" in gold along the side under the ankle, "Swiss Engineering" written in gold near the heel, and a small On logo in gold.
"I wanted sleekness," Federer says. "I grew up in the '90s where there was always very bold and big logos, and we hid them away and made it more secret and almost like you will not see the logo."
But don't expect the all-white to last forever. "There are definitely different colors coming and different styles," Federer says while looking to On's head of design, Thilo Brunner, for the okay he can share details. "Thilo told me not to tell too much. There will be more series coming, there will be changes to this model as well going forward."
Brunner says On wanted to start developing the Roger silhouette with the basics, making it look sharp in the most minimalistic way before building it up with different color patterns—there will be women's-specific colorways coming—and materials. Federer says he expects to start "having a lot of fun" with colors and design.
Even before Federer inked a deal to become a partner with the On's three co-founders, he was working with the team on designs as part of a series of planned 2020 releases. "I love working with the On team, using my knowledge of performance footwear and personal interest in fashion to contribute to product development," says Federer, who is building a home a 20-minute drive from On's headquarters.
And while the first shoe from Federer comes as a lifestyle offering, he hasn't closed the door on a performance model from the running-focused company. "One day I am sure I will play in an On tennis shoe," he says. "The issue about a tennis on-court sneaker is it just takes a long time to build, to be honest. If you want it absolutely perfect, I would need more time for it."
The 0-Series of the Roger Centre Court comes in a limited run of 1,000 individually numbered pairs. Fans looking to get a pair can sign up for a draw, starting July 6. The draw closes on July 8 and winners will be notified the next day. The shoe will also have an in-store exclusive launch at Dover Street Market. This is the only planned release of the 0-Series, but expect more editions of the Roger Centre Court later in 2020.
"Combining On's years of performance design with our new teammate's contribution has produced an awesome shoe," says David Allemann, On co-founder, "and we've had a lot of fun doing it." On had to create a new production line in Vietnam dedicated to just the Roger, since it is a unique design for the brand.
On launched 10 years ago and has grown to include offices in Portland, Berlin, Yokohama, and Shanghai. Its products, which have expanded past performance running, are now in over 6,000 retailers in 55 countries.
Federer is no stranger to either shoe design or On. Having worked with Nike for 20-plus years until 2018, Federer was involved with the design of his on-court Nike shoes, at times working with Tinker Hatfield on the Vapor series, which he still wears during matches. His Nike line was also notable for its Air Jordan collaborations that fused tennis performance models with retro classics.
When Federer's Nike deal came to an end and he signed a 10-year $300 million apparel agreement with Japan-based Uniqlo in 2018, he started discussing possibilities with On, a brand popular in his home country. The brand was already worn by his wife and friends and had a growing in presence ever since becoming profitable in 2014.
Those discussions led to Federer's investment and the Roger, the second true lifestyle offering from the brand, following the May announcement of the Cloudnova.
Federer says working with On feels different than past projects because he cares as much about the Roger as he does the Swiss sportswear outfit's other models. "I am just happy when the brand does well," he says. But at the same time, he says, this new branch of On is very personal.
"I invested time in it to give them inspiration and anything that came to my mind when it comes to comfort, fit, and sleekness," Federer says. "For me it has been a lot of fun, it has just been nice to work with a Swiss company I know I will partner with for a very long time. We are just trusting each other and seeing where it takes us, which is also very nice."

Victor Vowles and Rachel Hoyland
Victor Vowles, Palestine 1930s
Victor Stanley Vowles
b. 23/06/1908 Congresbury, Bristol
d. 08/06/1988 Queensland, Australia
m. [1] at Bedford
Georgina Hobson
b. abt. 1908
m. [2] at Nottingham
Rachel Hoyland
b. 16/07/1916 Sheffield
Children of Victor and Rachel
Rachel Hoyland WRAF WW2
Victor (Vic) was born in Bristol the youngest child of Thomas Vowles and Agnes Weaver. He always gave his birthplace as Churchill although his birth certificate states Congresbury.
He joined the RAF in 1928 and served 19 years. During the 1930s he served seven years in Palestine with 2 ACC squadron, the armoured car corps.
Returning to England in 1936 he was promoted to Corporal and posted to Cardington, the RAF Balloon Training Unit, where he trained as a balloon operator.
Over the next three years he was promoted to Sergeant, Flight Sergeant and then Warrant Officer. In 1944 he was recommended for commision.
At the end of the war Vic's RAF career changed direction after he completed a course at the School of Explosives, Tattenhall. Following this he was involved in the recovery of German gas bombs which were found in a wood in France where they had been hidden and prepared to be dropped on Britain.
He retired from the RAF in July 1947 with the rank of Flying Officer. In recognition of the long service, he received an invitation from the Queen to a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace in July 1969.
Vic married Georgina Hobson while based at Cardington in Bedfordshire in 1938 but the relationship was short lived. She appears as next of kin on his service record and was living in London while he followed his postings as a balloon operator.
It was during the war that he met Rachel Hoyland who was serving in the WRAF at the time. Rachel had seen the war as an opportunity to escape her domesticated life. As their youngest daughter, her parents had expected her to stay at home and help her mother even though her older sisters had both been encouraged to have careers. By 1947 Vic had retired from the RAF and settled with Rachel in a small village in Lincolnshire and their first child was a year old. They stayed in Lincolnshire for 12 years and had three more children during the 1950s before moving to Nottinghamshire around 1958.
Vic was always a big sports fan and during his RAF career played both football and rugby. He was at Wembley to witness England winning the football World Cup in 1966.
They retired to Queensland, Australia in 1982. Vic died just two weeks short of his 80th birthday after suffering a heart attack while gardening, another of his passions. Rachel passed away peacefully, aged 91.
Balloon Barrage, Cardington 1938
Go to British Pathe News and click play to view a short film showing barrage balloons being sent up into the sky by RAF airmen at the old Cardington airship base.
Does Victor Vowles feature in this film?
It's highly likely as he was a balloon operator based at Cardington at the time.

Elon Musk donates $10 million to Future of Life Institute to keep AI safe
Stephen Yuen January 16, 2015 Comments Off on Elon Musk donates $10 million to Future of Life Institute to keep AI safe
Elon Musk is pretty much on the cutting edge of what is currently technologically possible, so when he spoke about his concerns about the worryingly fast progression of artificial intelligence (AI), the world started to take notice. Sure enough, Musk isn't the only intellectual afraid of the moment that AI becomes self-aware – Stephen Hawking has previously voiced that AI could end the human race – but thankfully there are people working to make sure that when AI does reach the "singularity" that they will continue to be beneficial to us instead of trying to overthrow us. One such group is the Future of Life Institute, a body that Musk himself has just donated $10 million to aid their research. Speaking about the donation, FLI co-founder Anthony Aguirre said: This donation will make a major impact. While heavy industry and government investment has finally brought AI from niche academic research to early forms of ...
Elon Musk on Artificial Intelligence: "The pace of progress in artificial intelligence is incredibly fast"
Stephen Yuen November 18, 2014 Comments Off on Elon Musk on Artificial Intelligence: "The pace of progress in artificial intelligence is incredibly fast"
We've said it before: Elon Musk is a pretty smart guy (understatement much?). The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors is essentially what we would liken to a real-life Tony Stark; if he came out wearing an Iron Man suit tomorrow, nobody would be surprised. So when he spoke candidly about artificial intelligence, warning that its progress is much quicker than any of us realize, possibly posing a danger to humanity, we were bound to get more than a little worried. In a series of emails to Edge.org publisher, John Brockman, that were erroneously shared, Musk puts a timeline on when he sees the development of artificial intelligence becoming worrisome. "The risk of something seriously dangerous happening is in the five year timeframe. 10 years at most… Please note that I am normally super pro technology and have never raised this issue until recent months. This is not a case of crying wolf ...
Stephen Yuen October 3, 2014 Comments Off on Elon Musk teases the Tesla Model D and 'something else' for announcement on Oct 9th
Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, is very smart man, but has proven that he has a sense of humour too. In a recent interview, he claimed he wanted to call the Model III the Model E so that Tesla's line-up would consist of the Model S, E and X. Yes, that's right – real life's Tony Stark is also childish and hilarious. So it's almost poetic irony that Musk would tweet the following regarding the Tesla Model D's announcement: About time to unveil the D and something else pic.twitter.com/qp23yi59i6 — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 2, 2014 The tweet set Twitter on fire, not only because Tesla was about the announce something new, but because of the unintentional suggestiveness of the tweet. Suffice to say Musk eventually realized the hilarity of the tweet and posted: I love the Internet. Comments had me literally ROFL. No, it wasn't intentional. Glad I didn't mention the other ...
Stephen Yuen July 15, 2014 Comments Off on The Tesla Model III will be Tesla's entry into mainstream electric cars
There's been a lot of chatter in the press recently about the Tesla and the Tesla Model S with crazy crashes and lead footed people driving into signs. Now Elon Musk wants to get competitive. The problem has been its price tag! The Tesla Model S is not exactly accessible to all walks of life, making its penetration into the mainstream automotive industry somewhat minimal. Cue the $35,000 Tesla Model III. In an interview with AutoExpress, Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, confirmed that Tesla's third vehicle (after the Model X) is going to be called the Model III: Confirmed: Our Gen III car, due out after Model X, will be named Model 3. http://t.co/PLhUzycSlp pic.twitter.com/noZf17LXre — Tesla Motors (@TeslaMotors) July 16, 2014 The car was previously rumoured to be named the Model E instead, but in a very frank response, Musk revealed exactly why it now called the Model III: "We had the model S for sedan ...

My French misadventure
"Aaarrgghh", I cried out - or most probably something less polite along with the aarrgghh.
Lying on the side panel of the passenger side front door of Mabel (my 1960 MK 1 Riley 1.5) and realising I was in a ditch with my back, leg and fingers in a great deal of pain, I realised things could have been a lot worse. No, really they could have been. I count myself fortunate that apart from the scars to my back that my wife Julie reckons will be there forever, I'm here to tell this sorry tale.
Mabel, "dans le ditch"
We're fortunate to have a cottage down in the Haute Vienne department of the Limousin region in France and the day before I'd pulled Mabel down there on the back of a trailer. Longish drive from Bristol to our hamlet but no problems whatsoever experienced. Couldn't have gone better in fact. Got her off the trailer the night before and went over to see friends for supper and realised on the way back that the rev counter had packed up as had the panel lights but hey, that's very minor to what happened the following day.
There I was on the way to a charity garden party (very British) on a lovely May day in an area that reminds you of the English countryside and looking forward to the strawberries and clotted cream when it happened. A car was coming towards me. I veered to the left. He veered to the left and we missed each other by a gnat's doodah. He ended up in the middle of the road. I ended up down the ditch. Yes, you've probably guessed. For a nano-second, my mind thought I was in the UK and as such driving on the left-hand side of the road…….as was the French driver of French car on the French road coming towards me. I've driven thousands of miles all over Europe and beyond with no problems so why then? I'll never know.
I lay there. Nothing was burning. Couldn't smell petrol so that was, at least, a positive. Ooh ah, my back hurt but I could move so nothing broken. On the basis that the passenger door was wedged tight against the bank of the ditch I managed to haul myself over to the driver's side door and out on to the road. The owner of the French car was kind and understanding. Not so his wife but then again I had given her one hell of a shock. Once they realised I had a phone and had called the friends who I was due to see at the garden party, they said their "adieus" and "au revoirs" and went on their way.
I was more than happy that didn't want to hang around as neither car had hit each other and I guess they wanted to get to the local dechetterie (the tip/recycling centre) before it closed.
It then struck me that had Julie been in the car (she was still back in Bristol) I would have crushed her and hospitalised her, if not worse. However, had she been there she would have pointed out in no uncertain terms that I was driving on the wrong side of the road so bloody well get back over. On balance though I'm glad she wasn't there as I'd rather have a damaged car and ego than a damaged wife. The car is just a bit of metal that can be repaired. I also became a convert in having seat belts fitted in an instant but more of that later.
Phone calls were made and Gerald and Anthony (who I was going to see along with their wives) came out from the garden party as quick as a flash. They took me back to our house and I asked Jerome (our French neighbour) if he would come out with his tractor and haul me out of the ditch. He duly obliged and received a very nice bottle of malt whisky for his trouble.
So, Mabel was now on the side of the road and I was not really conscious of the pains in my back, arms, legs and neck that I would certainly know about the following morning but was more concerned as to what would happen next. A young lad on a bike stopped. French I thought, but no he was English and spoke fluent French as well. He leapt into action and went into our local village and brought out Guy Brandy and his breakdown truck from the local Renault garage that he runs.
Now, having Guy around is a bit of a bonus as he organises a car event for all things old and new in our village each year and so had an interest in seeing a Riley. (Something it transpires he'd never seen before but then why would he?). So, Mabel was unceremoniously dragged up on to the back of his breakdown truck/transporter as given that the passenger side front wheel had a mind of its own, clearly it wasn't going to get up there under its own steam. Mabel was then taken to Guy's private workshop along with various Renault Dauphines, old Peugeots and a Land Rover based fire-engine and there she stayed for a few weeks.
Didn't do much the day of the accident (or the next couple of days) as I clearly wasn't in the right frame of mind or OK physically to do anything. However, the first thing I did even before phoning my friends was to call Julie, tell her what had happened and that I was OK. Her reaction………you're OK, it's OK, we'll get Mabel running again. At the time I honestly wasn't bothered but later on I'm just so glad she said it.
Spent a night in pain at our friends Gerald and his wife Sue's house as they wouldn't let me go back to our cottage on my own and for that I'll be forever grateful. Not sure how I managed to get dressed in the morning and nearly had to call on Sue to help me out and to put my pants and trousers on. Not that she would have but at least it lightened the mood at breakfast…….not that I was all that hungry.
Right, what to do next as there were clearly both mechanical and bodywork issues to be addressed. Not having appropriate tools or even decent facilities in which to work meant trying to find someone who knew and understood the vagaries of old cars. As luck would have it I had previously hooked up with a local Google Group in our area where people advertise events, items for sale and services etc. Sometime before a chap (Paul Richfield) had advertised on there to say he had had a lifetime of working on vintage and classic cars and I had saved his details.
These read as follows.
"In 1961, Paul had his first vintage car. Too young to drive, many hours were spent on
stripping and rebuilding in time for his licence. This was followed by the usual Austin 7, Riley Specials and many others. Eventually turning to full time restoration he was a partner of Fergus Engineering, Lincs, working on such cars as Hispano Suiza, Bugatti, Bentley, Mercedes, Maserati etc.
Head hunted to look after a private collection on the Mediterranean coast, has spent the last 40 years maintaining European-American and English Classic cars. During the last 12 months has repaired cars ranging from a 1932 Cadillac V12 to a 1960 Morris commercial van."
Sounds like he could be chap I need so contact was made and so glad that I did. He's an interesting chap and has an historical association with pre-war Rileys but more of that later.
Paul came over in his beat up Peugeot 205, conversed in fluent French with Guy Brandy and it was agreed that on a temporary basis he could work on the car in Guy's private workshop. What this in reality meant was arranging for some sort of wheel arrangement to be made that would allow Mabel to get up on the back of my own trailer and be transported over to Paul's place for suspension and brake rebuilds to take place.
Various attempts were made and finally a Renault 5 wheel was adapted by Paul and held in place, how I'll never know, but at least we finally made the back of the trailer after only once having the steering collapse in the main road before going up on the trailer. Mabel was then taken over to Paul's workshop for the next stage to take place. The reason for the new smaller wheel was that the original assembly and lower suspension arms had been bent back so far that the original wheel was fouling the wheel arch.
Here's Paul's summary of the works that took place.
"After removing front left hand wheel the following damage could be ascertained.
The two lower arms of the suspension were badly bent towards the rear of the car. The arm connecting the shock absorber to the top links of the swivel pin was also deformed. In addition, the rubbers holding the tie bar to the chassis fixings had been torn away and the bar was now unsupported.
The main elements were provided by a specialist suspension components supplier and the Riley Motor Club in the UK. Sundry small fixings, lubricants, grease etc. were provided from stock. The chassis fixing (Eyebolt – lower arm to body [No. 62]) was not damaged and no deformation of the chassis could be seen in this area. Nor could any damage be found in the mountings of the shock absorber. There was also an electrical problem caused by the shock of the impact.
The car was supported and wheels removed – the following works were carried out on the L/H side of the car only:
Brake drum and hub removed
Hydraulic system disconnected, back plate and brakes removed, track rod end disconnected, front arm unbolted from inner and outer pivot arms and rear arm, tie bar disconnected.
Torsion bar disconnected at rear chassis mounting
Rear arm disconnected from our pivot pin, torsion bar freed from seized up mounting in chassis and drives to the rear of the car. This allowed the rear arm to be removed after cleaning up splines
Shock absorber arm disconnected from upper limb, protective panel removed from bulkhead and still with damaged arm in place removed via the engine compartment
Damaged arm removed from shock absorber body. Rear adjustment of torsion bar disconnected (seized up) stripped down, repaired, reassembled and bar painted with Hammerite
New suspension elements were rebuilt on to the chassis with all new fixings etc. and body height adjusted and brakes bled
Rocker box removed and breather pipe re-soldered in position.
Non-starting electrical problems traced to battery cables and bad earth of solenoid
New and second hand units for the Front Suspension Components used to repair accident damage
A lever arm from an serviceable shock absorber was also used."
I now had a working car but now needed to get the bodywork attended to, as since re-locating to the area in which we have our cottage, Paul no longer has the room or facilities to undertake this work. Shame, as I'm sure he'd have made a fantastic job.
As I mentioned I'm a member of a local Google Group down in France so I put out a call for recommendations for someone who could work on old British cars and understood the needs of classic cars which, let's face it, are different to the cars of today.
Various suggestions were received and we narrowed it down to just a few although for logistical reasons I was favouring a chap (Franck) who was only about 20 minutes or so from us. Paul and I visited him and with Paul seeing what was going on, his facilities and looking at the quality of his work it was agreed he could do the necessary.
There being repaired was a Porsche, Jaguar XJS and a couple of piles of rust which turned out to be a pair of Mustangs being rebuilt. The chap (Franck) was clearly very good at his craft and had a passion for getting it just right. Sort of chap that wouldn't let a job leave his premises less than perfect as it may affect the reputation he was building for himself.
Some of the other cars in Franck's workshop when we arrived
So, it was agreed that on 1st September, Mabel would be delivered and he would get on with it. No point in trying to get anything done in France in August as the whole country just seems to shut down.
Now parts were required other than what Franck might do with new metal as the front panel, wing and bumper were beyond repair. OK, they probably could have been repaired but the labour costs associated in trying to get these into an acceptable condition was going to be greater than replacement parts. These would also be stronger than my damaged rusty versions.
A replacement front wing came from a fellow Riley 1.5 owner along with a bumper and good old eBay came up with as good a second-hand front panel as you're likely to find. The front panel was sent by post and arrived in first-class condition.
The front wing and bumper were taken by my friend to a Riley Motor Club council meeting (along with various parts from Riley Motor Club Spares) in Kenilworth and brought back to the Bath area which isn't that far from where I live by the of chair West of England Centre for the Riley Motor Club. Now, how to get these to France?
Again, I put a note out on the previously mentioned Google group and eventually it came to pass that a chap living not far from where the parts had been taken to i.e. the Bath area and who is renovating a property very close to ours in France would bring them out. Not sure what the locals thought of a couple of chaps swapping bodywork parts from one car to another in the car park at Limoges airport but it didn't seem to matter.
Franck had said it would take about three weeks (I guessed this would run into four weeks) and so I popped back from time to time to monitor progress……….the problem was apart from moving position in the body shop, not a lot seemed to be happening.
It all came down to a language issue and a communication breakdown but Mabel was eventually ready and looking so much better than she ever had been since I'd taken ownership of her. The trouble is she wasn't going to be ready until after we were due to come back to the UK for the winter. My wife had to hastily arrange a flight back to the UK for work and I rearranged our sailing.
The upshot was that I'd crashed Mabel within 24 hours of arriving in France and she was ready to take back two days before the rearranged sailing. That wasn't quite what had been planned before taking Mabel on her French adventure.
Now, there's a few people I need to thank……
My friend for supplying the wing and bumper, the local area chairperson for fetching and carrying and especially to the chap running the Riley Motor Club spares who contributed greatly in getting parts that were on the parts list and some that were not out to France speedily in order for Paul to carry out the mechanical repairs. Paul and the chap from Club Spares were on good speaking terms by the end of this saga and the number of emails that were going backwards and forwards between all of us was quite a sizeable number. .
More on Paul Richfield - and this will appeal to pre-war owners and enthusiasts in particular. I mentioned he had owned a pre-war Riley………well this happened to be the Cuthbert Special which I understand to be a famous model and which came up for sale recently through the Historics at Brooklands auction but didn't sell as the reserve wasn't met. I think he's still kicking himself as to why he didn't keep it but it was a long time ago that he sold it. I'm sure that if anyone is compiling data on pre-war specials that Paul could provide additional information. If so please get in touch and I'll see what can be arranged.
Seat-belts……..if they had been fitted my body might well have been less damaged than it was. For instance, when I was thrown from the right to the left I managed to shear off the door handle with my back. That's ¼ inch steel by the way. Yes, much pain and huge blue, green and orange bruises followed. Seat belts have now been fitted to Mabel. I couldn't give a jot about their not being "period" and that the originality of the car has been devalued. For me, safety is vitally important and who knows it might not be me that is the idiot next time, it could be some other idiot and I'm not prepared to take that risk. Yes, I've heard all the stories about if I'd being wearing seat belts then this and that wouldn't have happened. However, they do save lives and I consider mine worth saving.
Lastly, I know that if I were reading this I'd be asking myself….."How much did all this cost?" I know that as I've kept a log of all direct and indirect expenditure and it's………well, I'm the only one who knows the cost and that's how it's going to stay!


CONCORD comment on the EU-Africa summit, 2-3 April 2014.
(Brussels, 3 April 2014) African countries are still on the receiving end of unfair EU policies, especially in trade, tax and agriculture, says CONCORD, the European confederation of Relief and Development NGOs, as government leaders from both continents meet for a summit in Brussels over 2-3 April.
At least $859bn was lost from developing countries in 2010 alone through illicit financial flows. This is 13 times the amount the EU spent on development aid in 2012.
The EU regulatory framework on taxation and how EU companies report on their operations in developing countries is not stringent enough to counter this. As a result, the EU is not respecting its commitment to Policy Coherence for Development, a Lisbon Treaty obligation that aims to make sure EU policies do not undermine development objectives.
Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) are clear cases of power imbalances and liable to jeopardize the food security and livelihoods of poor people and farmers in developing countries.
The imposed EU deadline for signing the EPAs by October 2014, puts African parties under pressure without indicating how further trade liberalisation will be geared to foster development.
"Human rights and support for civil society must be at the center of the EU-Africa relations, including through the development of a Joint Framework and Action Plan on Democracy and Human Rights committing continental institutions as well as their Member States on concrete actions," continued Sohet.
CONCORD calls for the EU-Africa partnership to be truly people centered and involve civil society in dialogue and in implementation of the joint strategy.
What is CONCORD? CONCORD is the European NGO confederation for Relief and Development. Its 28 national associations, 17 international networks and 2 associate member represent 1,800 NGOs which are supported by millions of citizens across Europe.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif—A California judge is putting a halt to a Canadian court order for internet giant Google to delist some of its search results worldwide.
Equustek Solutions Inc. had been locked in battle with Datalink Technologies Gateways—its former distributor—for allegedly stealing, copying and reselling industrial network interface hardware Equustek had created. The Burnaby-based Equustek wanted to stop Datalink from selling the hardware through various websites and turned to Google for help.
Initially, Google removed more than 300 web pages from search results on Google.ca, but more kept popping up, so Equustek sought—and won—the broader injunction that ordered Google to impose a worldwide ban.

Mr. Kumar Goes (Back) to Washington
Kal Penn is once again going from White Castle to the White House.
Nov. 17, 2010, 5:46 PM UTC / Source: E!online
By Peter Gicas
The 33-year-old actor is returning to his post as an associate director in the Office of Public Engagement after leaving the gig back in April to shoot A Very Harold &Kumar Christmas, the third installment in the popular comedy franchise.
MORE: Kal Penn: So Long Obama...Hello Kumar!
Penn, who uses his real name, Kalpen Modi, for his job in D.C., first nabbed the position back in '09 after actively campaigning for Barack Obama during his run for president.
The news of his return to the Beltway, though, doesn't come as a complete surprise considering the star was spotted at various rallies and events in support of Democratic candidates in California, Nevada, Florida and Illinois prior to the recent midterm elections.

Evidence from Earth Observation Satellites is an edited collection analysing emerging legal issues surrounding the use of satellite data as evidence. It considers whether data from satellite technologies can be a legally reliable, effective evidential tool in contemporary legal systems.
A look at our current understanding of Earth's structure.
This writing is called: Scientific Creation, Our Life - Beginning To End. As stated, all facts are not pragmatic or seen by human eye. Where did all nature and life start ? What is the beginning ? Was it by The Big Bang Theory, or Beginning by God ? or some Intelligent Designer ? The miraculous human body is investigated in time. In Catastrophic development of life and all nature, there was an Earth Canopy of translucent, crystalline, ice and a Great Global Flood, a deluge, scientifically verified. Then , all life and nature is discussed as always coming in a trinity, which is the characteristic of and mode of the great I.D.
From the Earth's Core to Outer Space focuses on four themes: (1) Evolving Earth's crust, (2) Changing Baltic Sea, (3) Climate Change, and (4) Planet Earth, third stone from Sun. The focus on these four topics provides both a state of the art review of earth science topics of particular importance to Scandinavia and the Baltic and also the global context in which a consideration of these topics must be made. It finishes by discussing our use of space born technologies for understanding these topics and places the Earth within the context of our neighbouring planets and their satellites. The first theme includes papers on the structure, origin and evolution of the Earth's crust and in particular the ore deposits in Fennoscandia, plate-tectonic drift of Fennoscandia (Baltica), and postglacial isostatic rebound of the crust. The second theme contains papers dealing with changes in the ice season of the Baltic Sea, inflow and stagnation in deep basins, biology of the Baltic Sea, and carbon dioxide balance in sea water. The third theme deals with origin and evolution of oxygen in atmosphere, postglacial climate change, effects of aerosols and greenhouse gases on climate, interplay between anthropogenic and natural factors in the current climate change, and Earth's water resources. The fourth theme includes articles on Earth's space environment, use of satellites in cartography and geodesy, information obtained by space probes on Mars and other planets and their moons, and possibilities to find life on them.
This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the major topicswithin undergraduate study programmes in geosciences, environmentalscience, physical geography, natural hazards and ecology. This text introduces students to the Earth's four keyinterdependent systems: the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphereand biosphere, focussing on their key components, interactionsbetween them and environmental change. Topics covered include: An earth systems model; componentssystems and processes: atmospheric systems; oceanography, endogenicgeological systems and exogenic geological systems, biogeographyand, aspects of the Earth's Record. The impact of climate and environmental change is discussed in afinal chapter which draws together Earth's systems and theirevolution and looks ahead to future earth changes and environmentsand various time periods in the geological record. Throughout the book geological case studies are used in additionto the modern processes.
Plate tectonic theory has revolutionized the study of the history of our planet. It is now becoming increasingly apparent that processes deep within the Earth's mantle and core strongly influence plate movements, and it is to these processes that the author addresses himself. Having discussed the origin, composition, structure and physical properties of the Earth, the book turns to discuss the key role that interactions between the mantle and core play in magmatic and tectonic processes. Other important issues discussed are the nature and existence of mantle plumes and convection cells, and the similarities and differences of tectonic processes on other planets in the solar system. These and other questions are discussed in the context of the Earth's origins, its chemistry and its physics. All geophysicists and geologists concerned with earth evolution and plate tectonics should find much of interest in this book.
Basalt is the most voluminous of all the igneous rocks. Extensive field, experimental, petrographic and geochemical studies of basalt have provided us with a considerable understanding of igneous petrogenesis, plate tectonics, and crust-mantle interaction and exchange. One important aspect of geology that has developed over the last few decades is the study of oceanic basalts. The ocean basins cover about two thirds of the earth's surface and are floored by a basement of oceanic basalt that is continuously undergoing generation at spreading centres and destruction at subduction zones, a process which throughout geological time is recognized as the principal means of generating new crust. The study of oceanic basalts enables us to understand better the generation and recycling of crustal materials (including the continental crust), and the exchange between oceanic crust and seawater via hydrothermal activity. Compositional variations displayed by oceanic basalts provide windows into the mantle, and the identification of isotopically-distinct mantle reservoirs demonstrates that the source of oceanic basalts is heterogeneous and is controlled by convection and reservoir interactions within the mantle.
The fourth edition of Physics of the Earth maintains the original philosophy of this classic graduate textbook on fundamental solid earth geophysics, while being completely revised, updated, and restructured into a more modular format to make individual topics even more accessible. Building on the success of previous editions, which have served generations of students and researchers for nearly forty years, this new edition will be an invaluable resource for graduate students looking for the necessary physical and mathematical foundations to embark on their own research careers in geophysics. Several completely new chapters have been added and a series of appendices, presenting fundamental data and advanced mathematical concepts, and an extensive reference list, are provided as tools to aid readers wishing to pursue topics beyond the level of the book. Over 140 student exercises of varying levels of difficulty are also included, and full solutions are available online at www.cambridge.org/9780521873628.

I am so in love with today's real wedding feature from Christy D. Swanberg Photography. The happy couple Alaina and Matt did such an incredible job creating a wedding that was totally unique to themselves. They prove you can have the wedding of your dreams no matter the circumstance.
Alaina and Matt wanted a beautiful mountain wedding but decided they didn't want to make their family travel out of Calgary. So, they brought their mountain wedding to Calgary. It was the best of both worlds. They chose the Shannon Terrace's amphitheater, in Fish Creek Park for their outdoor ceremony. Then, they found the Rotary House at the Calgary Stampede and it was just like being in mountain lodge. How perfect is that? Everything was exactly how they envisioned it.
Lets move on to the stunning decor of this wedding. Modern yet organic was the theme through out their decor. Alaina is the owner of Bloom Invites ( make sure you check out her amazing work! ) and she knew exactly what she wanted. They used soft white drapery to set the stage of the amphitheater. This made it feel more modern and little less rustic. The reception was just as stunning, with tables set up family style and adorned with fresh garlands of greenery. To make everything come together outside for ceremony and cocktail hour, she used vintage chairs, tables etc. It was all very elegant yet very comfortable. Make sure to check out the incredible wooden place cards Alaina created.
Congratulations to Matt and Alaina, I wish you all the best!
Right? I love this wedding so much!


Celebrate the change Christ has made in your life by being baptized. Baptisms immediately following each worship service.

According to our ancient scritpures( Purana) we should not be looking at the moon on the day or Ganesh chaturthi. The main Ganesh chaturthi day that comes once a year.
The ancient story goes that the moon was laughting at Lord ganesh due to his vehicle the Mouse. So Lord Ganesh cursed the moon by saying that no one will look at the moon on Ganeshchaturthi. Anyone who looks at the moon on the day of ganesh chaturthi will be blamed for something they did not do. The story further goes to say that even Lord Krishna had to bear this curse as he too was accused of stealing the jewel "syamantak Mani(pearl)" because of looking at the moon on the day of ganesh chaturthi.

Edinburgh Restaurant Festival may have drawn to a close, but there are still lots of great places to eat and drink in Edinburgh, with new venues popping up all the time. There has been quite a few new openings in the last few weeks, so let's round up some of the biggest and best Edinburgh eateries out there that you can enjoy a taste of this Autumn.
The newest opening on South Bridge brings a little slice of East Coast USA to Edinburgh. Combining the concept of a New York barber shop with iconic American eats such as philly cheese steak and Cornell BBQ chicken, this is the place to go if you want a taste of the states.
If you want to hang around for a while, you can sup one of their impressive cocktails in the bar that's open until late. Or, if you fancy a tidy up, you can always head down to their pop up barber shop downstairs.
Copper Blossom is the elegant new bar and restaurant on George Street that everyone's talking about. The interiors are unlike anything else in the city, bursting with beautiful blooms at every turn and the most beautiful toilets you have ever seen(!), this is the place to have cocktails with the girls this Autumn.
Be sure to try one of their bottled cocktails, like Remedial Action, which comes in a glass with a beautiful floating flower and a light misting of vanilla spray. It's the perfect after-work treat.
The very latest restaurant to open on George Street, the beautiful Printing Press has a delicious food and drink offering. Head chef Colin Fleming has worked hard to produce a seasonal menu that will showcase the best of Scottish produce, including Loch Duart salmon which is smoked over oak chips in house and served over tempting horseradish and fennel potato scones. They also have a wide selection of cocktails on offer, including the beautifully refreshing gin bramble.
And if you're craving a caffeine fix, then check out the tempting café Burr & Co, which has also just opened up next door.
If you take your meat seriously, then you will love Leith Chop House. They are obsessed with creating the perfect roast and have complete visibility over the whole process - from farm to fork. They have carefully selected their suppliers and age their meat in-house for up to ninety days in a special dry-aging fridge. Their own in-house butcher prepares the cuts before they are cooked on a custom-made open flame grill, making a delicious steak with its own flavour unique to the Chop House.
They also have an unmissible cocktail selection, which you can enjoy in their intimate bar area. Combine that with their ultra-cool decor, and you've got a brand new Leith institution which is set to become a firm favourite.
Stockbridge's newest seafood restaurant aims to be an eaterie with a heart, as the Kilted Lobster serves up tasty cuisine with a generous side helping of social responsibility. Their menu looks great, from tasty gluten free sweet potato gnocci to belly-busting seafood platters, but they also want to give back to the community with all of their profits going to their 'Cooking Up a Storm' initiative.
'Cooking Up a Storm' will provide job training to school leavers or those facing barriers to work, free meals to those experiencing financial hardship and cooking classes to those who want to learn to prepare healthy meals on a budget, or cater for food allergies. Kilted Lobster's food tastes good, and it does good too!
The folks behind Mamma's Pizzeria have opened up a new tex-mex treat in the Grassmarket: El Toro Loco. This fun and informal diner serves up bargain eats including burritos, quesadillas and tacos, making the perfect place to grab a quick yet satisfying lunch.
