Green cosmonautics: an ideal to strive for
Valery Klyushnikov Senior Researcher
The notion of 'green cosmonautics' belongs more in the realm of ideology and politics than scientific theory or practice. Yet the idea behind it, as conceived by environmentalists1, forces engineers and constructors to seriously think about the possibilities of "greening" the space technologies in use today.
We should understand that due to the world's sociopolitical and economic problems, the immediate adaptation of the concepts behind green cosmonautics is naively utopian. The environmental safety of rocket technology will continue to improve, but it will do so in parallel with other improvements, such as greater efficiency, energy-saving, and reliability. These improvements always follow a consistent pattern of technical development2. The evolution of any technical system (TS), can be broken down into the following characteristics3: In striving towards achieving greater perfection, every modification of the TS allows it to perform its main function better, or decreases its mass, dimensions and energy consumption. These developments take place on an irregular timescale driven by external forces and capabilities. Some of the biggest advances are made by reconciling contradictions in the design or functioning of the TS.
The main force behind the evolution of a TS is society's need for it to evolve quickly4. The fact that global society needs faster development of space technology is obvious. The fact that rocket engines and spacecraft are at the forefront of development speaks to the pattern of irregularity in TS evolution. When it comes to environmental issues in space technology, which are mainly determined by the characteristics of rocket engines, we are faced with a contradiction between society's demand for space technology and environmental safety. We must solve this contradiction without stopping the process of perfecting space technology. As such, we have the opportunity to implement green technologies in cosmonautics organically – the ideal cosmic technology must be green.
Could the Baikonur Cosmodrome be more environmentally friendly if it occupied a smaller area?
The most environmentally hazardous issues specific to the space sector are5: pollution of the environment by toxic rocket fuel components, space debris, pollution of the Earth's surface with used rocket units, their fragments, and leftover fuel.
Some green space technology prototypes and ideas are:6
Minimisation of Earth-based cosmic infrastructure (ECI) areas
Development of reusable rockets and one-stage, multi-environment launch vehicles
Taking non-functioning spacecraft out of orbit
At Aerojet Rocketdyne, an environmentally friendly fuel is tested in readiness for NASA's Green Propellant Infusion Mission (GPIM)
Total abandonment of toxic fuel components. Use of environmentally-friendly fuels
Intellectualisation of failure diagnostics, of engine and onboard systems operations control, of spacecraft motion control
Development of spacecraft parts, systems, and units based on failsafe concepts
Among rocket characteristics that need to be perfected, we must focus on overall cost efficiency, energy efficiency, increase of overall capacity, reliability, and safety. The biggest risk to the environment is currently posed by launch vehicles, so we seek improvements in the following areas:
Lowering the costs of launch
Energy efficiency (payload mass vs. rocket mass)
Construction size and launch area size (overall capacity increase)
Reliability - chances of having an accident during/after launch
Toxicity and fire/explosion risks from rocket fuel, the level of pollution affecting the local environment, and the safety of areas affected by falling rocket parts
Minimisation of Earth-based cosmic infrastructure (ECI) areas means getting rid of the idea that infrastructure must be built over very large areas. Compact areas, with compact buildings (launch pads, fuel storage areas etc) are utilised instead. This means less impact on various ecosystems and greater preservation of habitats. It also means greater cost efficiency and capacity increase when it comes to launch facilities and their overall area.
Cost logistics will be optimised, while power lines, gas pipes, and other utilities will be more size-efficient. This will also ultimately increase launch cost efficiency. The United States already shows a tendency toward greater environmental consciousness.
Over the last 50 years, Russians have discovered a number of uses for areas affected by rocket parts.
For example, the total area of launch facilities at Cape Canaveral, Wallops, Vandenberg, and Kwajalein is less than half the size of Russia's Plesetsk launch facilities and the facilities at Baikonur.
If we develop reusable rockets and one-stage, multi-environment launch vehicles we will no longer have areas affected by falling rocket parts. Russia and China are two countries with continent-spanning launch infrastructure, which presupposes a greater area affected by falling rocket parts. However, over the last 50 years, Russians have discovered a number of uses for areas affected by rocket parts. These include areas with gas deposits and mineral deposits. Plus, environmental concerns have also made designating areas for falling parts difficult.
Adeline is an Airbus concept for a partially resuable spacecraft – the main engine has wings to fly home
Cost efficiency would also be improved by reusable and more efficient rocket technology. Not to mention safety. Taking non-functioning spacecraft out of orbit, meanwhile, is the only way for us to maintain access to space. If the orbit continues to be polluted by space debris, we will eventually find that launches become impossible because the risk of collision with space debris will be too great. This is what the Kessler syndrome, also known as the cascading effect7, warns us about. Every orbit has its own "critical density" for manmade objects and parts8. Some experts believe that we are already seeing a cascading effect – at least at a height of 900-1,000km9.
Tackling space debris means getting rid of non-functioning spacecraft and making sure that no spacecraft parts detach in orbit. We must also adopt a simple principle: "Pollute the orbit? Clean up after yourself!" It will allow us to reduce collision risks and improve overall safety, both in orbit and on Earth (consider the risks of falling spacecraft). A total abandonment of toxic fuel components and the use of environmentally-friendly fuels will help improve environmental safety both during regular launches and during any kind of crisis events.
Single-component fuel would be especially effective. Not only would it be cleaner, it would also help decrease size, because only one fuel tank would be needed. A single-component nanofuel was proposed in Russia in 1996 and patented in 199910. The fuel is composed of microgranules that contain fuel and/or oxidiser. The microgranules are perfectly safe for humans and for the environment. Theoretically, this type of fuel will give a thrust that would be 25% greater than with traditional fuel – even with greater density!
Table 1 shows the analysis of green technology capabilities in developing more environmentally friendly rocket technology.
Table 2 shows how green technology ultimately affects rocket improvement aspects from the standpoint of the overall mission – payload delivery to a specific orbit. The arrows in Table 2 show positive or negative effects of green cosmonautics on rocket improvement aspects.
Even more radical is the idea of creating molecules of a new type, with great energy density. Such a technology would allow us to "pack" fuel atoms, such as hydrogen, into very compact structures, which should greatly increase energy density.
Intellectualisation of failure diagnostics, of engine and onboard systems operations control, and of spacecraft motion control will help prevent disasters that affect the environment, as well as increase the efficient use of onboard energy, all of which will make rockets much safer for the environment. More reliable rockets also means greater longevity for spacecraft and lower costs for launches and other services.
Preserving nature, like these purple flowers near Kennedy Space Center, is part of the green cosmonautics ideology
In conclusion, even a surface-deep analysis of green cosmonautics is beneficial to all because it affects our overall social psychology. "Green cosmonautics" may be just a slogan but it is a bold one, and it can inspire our progress towards greater environmental consciousness in the space industry. Overall, green technology is part of a greater drive to develop better rocket technology as well as better and more efficient space facilities.

Пара́метр у техніці або техні́чний пара́метр — характеристика окремої властивості об'єкта або процесу, яка допускає кількісну оцінку.

Параметр — це узагальнена назва певної фізичної, геометричної чи іншої властивості пристрою (процесу). Це можуть бути, наприклад, розмір, швидкість, електрична напруга тощо. Вивченням видів параметрів, вимірюваннями, методами і засобами забезпечення їх єдності та способами досягнення необхідної точності займається метрологія.

Класифікація технічних параметрів
Види параметрів визначаються видом технічних об'єктів (процесів). Наприклад, в механічних системах такими величинами є механічні параметри: маса, коефіцієнт тертя, момент інерції, натяг тощо.; для теплових процесів параметрами зазвичай служать теплотехнічні параметри: теплоємність, тепловий потік, температуропровідність тощо; з електричних параметрів найхарактернішими є електричний опір, індуктивність, електрична ємність.

Фізичні процеси, що відбуваються у системі, описуються рівняннями, що пов'язують змінні величини цих процесів. Параметри зазвичай входять в коефіцієнти рівнянь, вони можуть бути сталими або змінними, що залежать від часу чи координат.

Параметри об'єкта (пристрою, системи) або процесу можуть бути зосередженими або розподіленими у площині чи/та просторі. Характерний приклад системи з розподіленими параметрами — лінія електропередачі, у якої індуктивність, ємність, електричний опір розподілені по всій довжині лінії. Прикладом зосередженого параметра може служити навантаження на балку, прикладене на малій у порівнянні з довжиною балки ділянці.

Параметри у техніці за видом відношення до об'єкта (процесу) поділяються на вхідні, внутрішні і вихідні.

Вхідні (зовнішні) параметри відображають зовнішні вимоги до об'єкта. Їх величини або характер зміни з тією або іншою точністю відомі. Частина цих параметрів, що істотно впливають на стан і характеристики об'єкта, називають керувальними.

Частина вхідних параметрів, які характеризують виконувану пристроєм (процесом) функцію, відносять до функціональних параметрів. Ці параметри уже відомі в процесі проєктування.

Внутрішні параметри характеризують стан і властивості самого пристрою (процесу). Їх значення визначаються або уточнюються в процесі проєктування. Вони необхідні для обґрунтування прийнятих рішень, характеристики властивостей пристрою та інших цілей.

Частина вхідних параметрів і розрахованих внутрішніх параметрів пристрою (процесу) може використовуватися як вихідні дані для проєктування іншого, взаємозалежного пристрою (процесу) або його моделі. Такі параметри називаються вихідними параметрами для розглянутого пристрою (процесу) і вхідними — для іншого, що підлягає розгляду.
Наприклад, для пристрою «ліфт» вхідними параметрами будуть, наприклад, маса вантажу (функціональний параметр) і висота його підйому, термін служби (вони задаються, приходять ззовні), а внутрішніми, наприклад, діаметр і матеріал троса, розміри кабіни ліфта (вони визначаються, характеризують конструкцію). Для пристрою «шахта ліфта» попередньо встановлені розміри кабіни ліфта будуть вхідними параметрами і одночасно вихідними параметрами для пристрою «ліфт».

Деякі параметри можуть виступати у вигляді узагальнених параметрів, що поєднують в собі низку властивостей. Ці параметри застосовують, коли не є потрібною зайва конкретизація при вирішенні задачі, або викликає потребу в додаткових спеціальних знаннях. Однак при такому параметрі має бути посилання на документ, що однозначно розкриває його зміст.

Наприклад, марка (назва) матеріалу сталі 45 за ДСТУ 7809:2015 Вона містить дані про склад, умови виготовлення та інші властивості матеріалу і є узагальненим параметром, скажімо, для проєктувальника, але не для матеріалознавців чи металурга.

Значення технічних параметрів
В залежності від того, що характеризують значення параметрів — реальний об'єкт чи його модель, ці значення поділяють на дійсні і нормовані. Для зручності запису використовують номінальне значення параметра, тобто таке його значення, яке служить можливим початком відліку дійсних і гранично допустимих відхилень параметра.

Нормоване значення параметра
Нормоване значення параметра — це теоретичне значення, яке характеризує ознаки моделі. Виражається граничними допустимими значеннями параметра. Виріб, параметри якого будуть перебувати всередині інтервалу, утвореного цими гранично допустимими значеннями, вважається працездатним і може використовуватися за призначенням. Наприклад, довжина стрижня, зазначена у кресленику, становить 98…104 мм. Це — нормоване значення параметра, а 98 і 104 — гранично допустимі його значення.

Якщо одне з граничних значень дорівнює нулю або нескінченності, то воно не вказується, а мається на увазі. Наприклад, твердість поверхні деталі повинна бути не меншою НВ180, що означає 180 … ∞. Або, наприклад, гранична маса вантажу, що піднімається — 200 кг, що відповідає 0 … 200.

Для марки матеріалу, наприклад, сталі, гранично допустимі значення вказуються у відповідному їй державному стандарті.

Величина інтервалу, обмеженого граничними значеннями параметрів, називається допуском параметра. Він позначається буквою T (у попередньому прикладі Т = 104-98 = 6 мм). Сама ж область допустимих значень параметрів називається полем допуску.

Дійсне значення параметра
Дійсне значення параметра — значення параметра, знайдене експериментальним шляхом і настільки наближене до істинного, що його можна використати замість істинного значення для поставленої задачі.
Його визначають шляхом випробувань або вимірювального експерименту з точністю, достатньою для контролю цього параметра. Зазвичай кожне заміряне дійсне значення є унікальним, тому що його величина залежить від зовнішніх умов, умов виготовлення, способу і точності вимірювання та багатьох інших факторів. З метою підвищення достовірності знання значення параметра проводять серію вимірювань, результати яких будуть мати розкид усередині якогось інтервалу та піддають статистичній обробці.

Номінальне значення параметра
Номінальне значення параметра (від  — іменований, умовно названий) визначається технічними умовами заводу-виробника або іншими регламентними документами (наприклад, державними стандартами) і може мати розкид значень, що відображає якість проєктування та виготовлення виробу.

Номінальне значення параметра призначається суб'єктивно людиною або є результатом операцій (розрахунків, вимірювань, випробувань) з такими ж номінальними параметрами. Наприклад, довжину стрижня, що вказана на кресленику, можна записати у вигляді 101±3 мм. Тут 101 — номінальне значення, ±3 — відхилення, що задають граничні значення параметра (98…104). У наведеному прикладі номінальне значення обрано із середини інтервалу значень і, як наслідок відхилення будуть симетричними. Якщо ж як номінальне значення взяте кругле число 100, то форма запису даного нормованого параметра набуде такого вигляду , де +4 — величина верхнього граничного відхилення (100+4), −2 — нижнього (100+(-2)).

При виборі номінальних значень параметрів виробів, що проєктуються і виготовляються керуються науково обґрунтованими рядами чисел (номіналів). Такі ряди будуються переважно на основі арифметичної чи геометричної прогресій. Переважними ці числа називаються тому, що їм надають перевагу при конструюванні та розрахунках характеристик однотипних виробів. Вибір розмірів машин, вузлів, деталей і матеріалів за закономірним рядом переважних чисел є однією з необхідних умов для широкого розвитку для стандартизації, що забезпечує їх уніфікацію.

Часто, хоча це не завжди виправдано, оперують тільки номінальними значеннями параметрів, що спрощує розрахунки та може вносити суттєві похибки у результати обчислень.

У реальному житті розкид дійсних значень параметрів неминучий. Але виріб вважається придатним, якщо дійсні значення його параметрів потрапляють в інтервал, що задається граничними значеннями нормованого параметра. Тому в документації (особливо призначеній для інших користувачів — замовника, виконавця, покупця, інших фахівців), прийнято наводити нормовані значення параметрів, а не вказувати лише їх номінальні значення.

Параметр — є узагальненою назвою тієї чи іншої фізичної властивості об'єкта і у кожному конкретному випадку його значення може розглядатись як дійсне, номінальне чи допустиме. Наприклад, для геометричного розміру це, відповідно, дійсний розмір, номінальний розмір та допустимий розмір.

Отримання значення технічного параметра
Значення параметрів можуть бути отримані такими методами:
 вимірюванням і, за потреби, наступним перерахунком у потрібні характеристики;
 розрахунком на основі математичних моделей;
 статистичними методами або безпосереднім поштучним обліком;
 органолептичними методами, тобто органами зору, слуху, нюху, смаку, дотику. Для цього залучають експертів, використовують спеціальні прилади тощо;
 соціологічними дослідженнями, наприклад, опитуванням та обліком думок певних груп людей;
 методами експертних оцінок.

Bergen Light Rail consists of 20 km of double track from the city centre to the airport at Flesland, built in three project phases. Multiconsult was given the task of designing the second phase.
The project forms part of the Bergen programme for transport, urban development and the environment, which aims to coordinate investment in public transport, environmental improvements, pedestrian and cycle paths and roads over the twenty-year period 2005-2025.
The first project phase, comprising 10 km of double track between the city centre and Nesttun, entered service in summer 2010. The second phase between Nesttun and Rådal, consisting of 3.6 km of double track, was completed in 2013.
Multiconsult was given the task of designing the second phase. The project involved all of the engineering for the section of line from Nesttun to Rådal, including all of the activities involved in the preliminary design and zoning plan for the section.
Our subcontractors for the contract were Asplan Viak, Cubus, Atkins, Smidt & Ingebrigtsen and Kompas, which is now part of Multiconsult.

WB Film exec: "The filmmakers … are making great movies about superheroes; they aren't making superhero movies."

Warner Bros film head Greg Silverman was interviewed for The Hollywood Reporter about the ongoing Harry Potter and Lego franchises and, oh yes, the DC movies. As as usual the "how are you different from Marvel?" question comes up. And it's all about master filmmakers, perhaps a meow about Marvel's more generic—and massively successful—take?
We have a great strategy for the DC films, which is to take these beloved characters and put them in the hands of master filmmakers and make sure they all coordinate with each other. You'll see the difference when you see Batman v. Superman, Suicide Squad, Justice League and all the things that we are working on.
There were some complaints that the Batman v. Superman trailer was too dark. Is this a trademark of a DC superhero film in the post-Dark Knight era?
There is intensity and a seriousness of purpose to some of these characters. The filmmakers who are tackling these properties are making great movies about superheroes; they aren't making superhero movies. And when you are trying to make a good movie, you tackle interesting philosophies and character development. There's also humor, which is an important part.
Oh good there is a chance to laugh amid the rain and thunder. To be fair Suicide Squad does look quite different and should generate grim ironic laughter at times. Silverman also discusses Wonder Woman and is asked why so many different screenwriters were tasked with doing different takes:
You've ruffled some feathers hiring competing writers to work on some projects at the same time, such as with Wonder Woman. What's the strategy?
Every project is different. On some projects, we have multiple writers working together. In some cases, we put writers together who have never been a team together. And sometimes, there is only one writer whose voice is right. In the case of Wonder Woman, the right approach was to have writers pitching different scenes within the framework we created.
Without knowing what the others were up to?
Correct. They came to me and said they wanted to try this approach. I don't know how much collaboration and noncollaboration was going on. Treating writers well is a massive priority at this studio. I'd be very shocked if writers weren't treated with respect and grace.
Translation: throw it against the wall and see what sticks.
I should also note that Umberto Gonzalez's Heroic Hollywood website is up and running and he's dropping all kinds of info on DC and Marvel stuff, mostly some spoiler details like what KIND of weapon Batman is using against Superman. Hint: very sneaky Batman.

Unfortunately what seemed fresh with Batman Begins seemed tired in The Dark Knight Rises and especially in the overly grim Man Of Steel (with its bizarre all blue color scheme). I find the DC animated films much more interesting such as Justice League New Frontier, Crises On Two Earths and The Flashpoint Paradox, all of which are much more plot heavy than the DC live action movies have been of late).

Randy @ WCG Comics 06/04/2015 6:03 pm At 6:03 pm
I guess this does kind of explain the differing philosophies and approaches of the DC vs. Marvel movies. But the bottom line is that Marvel has opted to make solid, crowd-pleasing "popcorn films" that have broader appeal and, as a result, greater box office potential. Frankly, I've never felt compelled to watch DC's films more than once. Marvel's generally are just plain more enjoyable.
This was how movies were written in Hollywood's "golden age" (the 1930s and '40s), when studios had dozens of writers under contract. Several writers would be assigned to the same project, usually without knowing anyone else was working on it. Then the producer would cut and paste elements from many scripts together.
Thanks to Marvel and DC, this assembly line method of script production has returned.

Mary playing soccer for the Piscataway High School Varsity Soccer team.
Mary was a student-athlete from Piscataway, NJ who attended Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ. Seton Hall awarded Mary both academic and athletic scholarships following her career at Piscataway Township High School as an outstanding student-athlete in soccer, track and basketball.
In 2006 at the age of 21 Mary was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and passed away that same year.
Mary was involved in sports at an early age, playing youth soccer for Piscataway Soccer Club and Elite soccer with Jersey Knights Soccer Club, Players Development Academy (PDA), and Jersey United. As part of the Jersey United team, Mary participated in a European Soccer Tour that included competition in Italy, Germany and England.
She received many honors including being a two-time All-State selection in her junior and senior years and being nominated for All-American in her junior year. Mary was also an excellent student who was a member of Piscataway High School's Chapter of the National Honor Society. As a double major in History and Secondary Education at Seton Hall, Mary was preparing for a career as a history teacher or attorney.
Tenacity and dedication were traits Mary was known for all of her life. During her freshman year at Seton Hall she tore her ACL in a preseason practice and sat out the rest of the season, but she returned to play in her sophomore year. As a defender in soccer, Mary often marked the most talented forward on the opposing team. Her skill and determination were clearly evident in an exceptionally hard-fought match between high school rivals Piscataway and East Brunswick in 2000 where Mary's commitment to defend Heather O'Reilly, who later became a member of the U.S. National Team, was relentless.


And finally photos from the last day on LA Comic Con. Well, half of them. The rest will be up soon. As the day went, I walked around, took photos, and also did an interview with Legion M. Not sure when that video will be coming since the audio was recorded on a phone that I was going to edit into the video, messed up some how, so a fix is being worked by my GF on with what I have.
Can't wait to see how that comes out.

Netflix and Jerry Seinfeld
by Sam Mitchell • Fri, 20 Jan 2017 08:39 am EDT	 Fri, 20 Jan 2017 08:39 am EDT	 in Netflix
Netflix has jokes! No. Well, not of the, "we're just messing with you" kind. The kind that has us rolling on the ground uncontrollably with laughter. We understand why you would be confused, though. With all the original comedy that they had and still have lined up, how much more of this do they have up their sleeves? They have to be kidding, right? But no! They apparently have a lot more than we think! This is no comedic stunt. With very recent news reporting that Netflix is bringing on board someone who has made waves in his industry, we cannot keep silent. Jerry Seinfeld is going to be joining the long list of comedians still to air on Netflix this year.
Netflix Gets Exclusive Rights to Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
On Tuesday, January 17th Netflix announced that the hit show, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, will be moving to Netflix in collaboration with the producer of the show, Jerry Seinfeld. The show which was originally developed for Crackle (Sony Corp's online video platform) has been acquired by Netflix. Seinfeld is reportedly "charged" about the move. New -and previously aired- episodes of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee can be expected to air later in the year. If you haven't gotten a chance to catch a single episode -which we highly doubt but you can never be too sure- stop by to check out if there are still episodes to stream on the online platform Crackle. Unless you've pledged allegiance to Netflix, then you can practice a bit of patience until it airs. The show features various comedians and performers riding in a vintage car with Jerry Seinfeld, talking about comedy over some coffee. It's in the title really. The show has featured the likes of Tina Fey (30 Rock), Steve Martin (Cheaper by the Dozen) and even Barack Obama, soon to be the former president of the United States of America. Here's the part that really gets us! Not only did Jerry Seinfeld sign off exclusive rights to his show, but he has also signed a deal with Netflix to produce two Netflix original stand-up comedy specials. Not one, but two!
Just when we thought Netflix took comedy to new heights, we're given even greater hope and assurance of a year filled with laughter. This is all a bit too much to take in, so we'll leave it here.

A letter asking the BOT for a change of date for the Greenwood all candidates forum included a request that not all council knew about.
Oct. 30, 2014 9:00 a.m.
Letter from city included a request that the moderator be changed - something not discussed at the council table when the motion was made to send the Board of Trade.
The Greenwood council meeting held Monday (Oct. 27) was a short one, lasting less than 30 minutes before the gavel fell to end the meeting in council chambers. Whether or not there was a meeting out in the street after the official meeting isn't known, but there seems to have been one after the Oct. 14, 2014 meeting.
Councillors Darla Ashton and Lee Cudworth both disagreed with Kettle that the choice of moderator had been discussed at the council table.
Kettle then said that council had a conversation afterwards.
"I am completely unfamiliar with the document that you are talking about and the paragraph in particular," Ashton said.
"I am not sure what happened there," Kettle reiterated.
"I know there was some discussion outside after the meeting," Ashton said.
"It wasn't me that brought it up," Kettle insisted. "I don't know how it ended up in there—it wasn't me that brought it up." Kettle did agree that he had signed the letter.
The public gallery wasn't done talking about the all candidates meeting though. Bob Smith said the way the agenda for the all candidates meeting was written, "You'd think you were going to nominate somebody for the presidency of the United States. What is all this BS? You've got to have red cards and green cards and all that crap. We always ran good [forums] in Greenwood before without all that stuff. Nobody got up and stabbed each other or anything.
Kettle told him the agenda was a standard format that was used in the previous 2011 election.

88: At the End of the Dial
Not many people know that Milltown has its own radio station. And it's the thankless task of Reg Poultice, the station manager, to try to wean Milltown folk away from their usual listening - Blind Optimism FM - and discover the "music and smiles at the end of the dial", otherwise known as Valley Sound.
It's shoestring radio... back bedroom broadcasting... the trailing edge of communication technology. It's difficult to maintain a pretence of professionalism, especially since the station operates not from some spacious suite - with potted plants and a bored receptionist - but from an unassuming terraced house in Milltown that Reg shares with his long-suffering wife and kids.
Children and broadcasting equipment make awkward bedfellows. So Reg's first task each morning is to check every item of equipment; he knows from bitter experience just how much damage can be done when a slice of hot, buttered toast is slid into the CD player by the jammy fingers of an inquisitive toddler.
Reg is the station's only full-time presenter. He may dream of having a whole stable of smooth-talking DJs to cruise through the schedules, but that's all it is... a dream. There's just no budget to pay proper wages. In any case, how many professional broadcasters would be prepared to 'get down' and 'strut their funky stuff' when surrounded by a menagerie of Fisher Price toys, in a room so small that they could touch all four walls at once? So the workload falls on Reg himself, and a handful of star-struck volunteers who are prepared to work for Valley Sound for next to nothing. It's something to put on their CVs when they try to move up to something bigger and better, like hospital radio. No wonder Reg has red-rimmed eyes, identity problems and an over-active fantasy life.
For the breakfast show Reg is Mike Hazzard - bright, breezy, relentlessly cheery - waking Milltown up with the breaking news, once the newspapers have been delivered. Reg hands over to himself - in the guise of Gary Slapper, 'naughty but nice' - for the morning slot. The lunchtime show is tackled, once he's finished his rounds, by our milkman, Bernie Coutts. On the air he adopts the persona of Mack Givern ('A smile, a song and a sexually transmitted disease') while downstairs, in the kitchen, Reg cooks Bernie's lunch (sausages, Bernie's favourite) before taking a well-earned nap.
Reg is back at the mixing desk from two in the afternoon (he assumes the urbane, mid-Atlantic voice of William Stroll, 'the housewives' favourite') with the tea-time phone-in. As Charles Caundle, gravel-voiced anchorman, Reg interrupts himself with the news and weather 'on the hour, every hour'. Frustrated social worker, Mildred Veal, lets her hair down most evenings with a programme of easy-listening classics - the choice dependent on whatever CDs can be borrowed from the Milltown library. "We've got some great music coming up", she enthuses, "but in the meantime let's have another spin for 'Lady in Red' by Chris de Burgh".
By 10pm Reg has made his last transformation of the day, to Alan Ginseng: softly-spoken new-age seer and sage, with a collection of meaningless aphorisms and a boxed set of 'Now That's What I call Whale Music' CDs. He signs off, on the stroke of midnight, with his habitual farewell - "Take care, sleep well, and remember, listeners, it's a holistic jungle out there" - before setting the alarm and crawling exhausted into bed.
Guest spots punctuate each day's scedules. There's Madder Rose, 'the fortune teller's fortune teller', offering 'astrological predictions, whatever the weather'. Carmine Lake, Milltown's lady novelist, reads chapters from her latest bodice-ripper. Financial advice comes from Barry Wedge, including the day's mickle/muckle exchange rate and the muck/brass proximity quotient. Plain-speaking Gary Mullet 'talks football', chronicling the peregrinations of our local team, Milltown Rovers, as they begin this year (like every other year) thrashing about in the relegation zone. Vendetta Lamour (possibly a pseudonym) helps listeners with their more intimate problems. Couples whose libidos have gone into winter hibernation and seem unlikely to wake up again.
The station hosts regular discussion programmes, tackling the pressing issues of the day. It's a familiar format: engage someone who thinks that black is white, and incarcerate him for an hour with someone who thinks that white is black. That's what the listeners like: a pair of single-issue campaigners locking horns for a fruitless session of intransigence and wilful misunderstanding. Yes, that's entertainment...
The staple diet of Valley Sound - when all else fails - is the phone-in. It gives listeners the opportunity to air their grievances, and proves, beyond all doubt, that "talk is cheap". Whenever Reg can engineer a heated argument between two callers, he can lay both phones down on the desk, in a sort of telephonic soixante-neuf position, and let the protagonists harangue each other for as long as it takes to make himself a cup of tea and rifle the biscuit tin.
It's been a quiet week in Milltown, so the subject of today's phone-in is the usual fall-back: "What is the world coming to, eh?" The result is a surreal pot-pourri of conversational cul-de-sacs... "Couldn't we have saved one missile from the raids on Iraq... just one measly Cruise missile... to shoot Richard Branson's balloon out of the sky for good"... "This disgusting video should be banned forthwith; it'll just make impressionable teenagers go out and discover how long it takes to stone a cat to death." "About four and a half minutes"... "I was offered a dodgy TV for fifty quid in the pub last week." "Did you contact the police?" "Well, no... I'm just ringing in to say that the picture is excellent and I'm very happy with it."... "You know, it's not how big it is that counts... it's what you do with it." "Well, I'd just like to put it on record, here and now, that mine is huge... and it doesn't matter what I do with it"...
Yes, Reg Poultice waits all day for calls like these. The only saving grace, when the airwaves hum with profanity, is that hardly anyone will be listening.

A fast-paced, hilarious comedy of modern manners.
What could be more unsurprising than a suburban AmDram company staging a Jane Austen adaptation? But the ambitions and neuroses of the members of Pogchurch Valley Amateur Dramatic Society come to a perilous and uproarious climax in the white heat of the rehearsal process for their production of Northanger Abbey.
Alternately laugh-out-loud-funny and tender, this is a Stepping Out for the twenty first century.


I have been taking a course from Anita Lehmann and want to share my exercises here.
Young Ant Priscilla instinctively knew to go toward the light and she was quick to discover it was just an opening to a whole new world.
How do we allow ourselves to come into the unknown?
For this piece I decided to just say yes to every first impulse I had. Half the time I thought I was crazy and it was going to be a mess, but honestly I love it for its random fun. So there you have it, sometimes it is better to embrace to loose dance and have fun. It might be a gamble, but when you win it makes one smile.

Deep in the Missouri Midwest, above the 250-mile stretch of Interstate 70 that connects St. Louis with Kansas City, a billboard read: 'Keep Abortion Legal'.
Artist Aleksandra Mir's stark political message jostled for attention with adverts for casinos and burger joints. Although it's not unusual to see political statements along this stretch of the rural highway, seeing a pro-choice message is virtually unheard of. Missouri has some of the tightest abortion laws in the US, and is currently seeking to enact even stricter requirements. Billboard companies almost always refuse to display pro-choice messages for political and religious reasons – despite the fact that pro-life statements, funded by Christian and right-wing groups, are commonplace.


At CAIS this year, I presented my working paper Scientific progress or organizational innovation? A comparison of two turns in Library and Information Science.
I try to explain why Library and Information Science (LIS) has transformed from a discipline narrowly concerned with classification and preservation in libraries and archives to one that includes a wide range of fields and professional training programs. Two alternative but not mutually exclusive explanations may account for these developments. These changes could reflect normal scientific progress as the discipline matures. The changes could also be the result of normative isomorphic organizational change in response to changes in the environment and a need to realign the institutional logics of educational and professional organizations with those of the academy. These explanations are explored through a comparison of two periods during which LIS experienced rapid disciplinary and organizational changes: the decades during and after World War II and the final decade of the 20th century. These abbreviated case studies suggest that both explanations of disciplinary change provide some analytical leverage for explaining different aspects of the development of LIS.
An extended abstract will soon appear in the official conference proceedings.

Asian American and Pacific Islander Transportation History: Chinese Railroad Laborers
In the western section of the United States, thousands of Chinese laborers played a pivotal role in building the Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) line between 1865 and 1869. The CPRR encompassed 690 miles (1,110 kilometers) of track from California's capital city of Sacramento to Promontory Summit in what was then the Territory of Utah. It was at Promontory Summit that the CPRR was united with the United Pacific Railroad (UPRR) from the east in a ceremony on May 10, 1869, that marked the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad.
James Harvey Strobridge, the CPRR's superintendent of construction, initially recruited Chinese workers residing in the present-day city of Auburn, California. These Chinese laborers quickly proved to disciplined and industrious workers who took on a large number of the CPRR's most dangerous construction tasks. The CPRR soon began recruiting even larger numbers of Chinese laborers directly from China. By 1867, these laborers constituted 90 percent of the CPRR workforce. Along with laying track, many of these workers also helped build tunnels along the extensive route between California and Utah.
A key example of the daunting construction challenges that the Chinese laborers encountered and ultimately surmounted was the building of a three-mile (4.8-kilometer) roadbed in the vicinity of Cape Horn, California, within the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Work on this roadbed – located on a steep slope that was at least 1,300 feet (396.3 meters) above the American River – began during the summer of 1865 and took a year to complete. One of the riskiest parts of this formidable project involved placing and igniting hundreds of kegs of blasting power so that the roadbed could be laid on a level surface.
With great skill and courage, Chinese laborers effectively accomplished those tasks and others that were similarly hazardous while constructing the CPRR line. They did so despite the deadly work challenges involved and also in the face of discriminatory treatment, substandard wages, social isolation, and various other day-to-day hardships. It has been documented that many of those Chinese workers lost their lives as the result of everything from landslides to blasting powder explosions.
The Spike Ceremony
After the line was finally built all the way to Promontory Summit, a total of eight Chinese laborers laid the final two rails of the CPRR in preparation for the festivities commemorating the linkage of that eastbound railroad with the westbound UPRR. Later that same day, several of the Chinese workers were invited to continue celebrating the historic occasion with CPRR officials and others in Strobridge's personal railroad car.
With the completion of their work in helping to make the First Transcontinental Railroad a full-fledged reality, a large number of the Chinese laborers made their way back to their families in China. Many other laborers, however, remained in the United States to work on other railroad construction projects or pursue new employment opportunities.
When a multi-day celebration of the 50th anniversary of the First Transcontinental Railroad took place in the Utah city of Ogden (about 53 miles, or 84 kilometers, from Promontory Summit) in 1919, the three surviving members of the crew that laid the final rails of the CPRR were among those in attendance. These men were Ging Cui, Wong Fook, and Lee Shao, and their role during the festivities included participating in a huge parade through the main streets of Ogden.
In highlighting the participation of these three men in the golden anniversary celebration, the Utah-based newspaper Manti Messenger also provided information on their lives since that historic day a half-century earlier. "They have been in the [employ] of the Southern Pacific since that time, none of them taking a leave of absence until three years ago, when they were pensioned by the Southern Pacific company," reported the Manti Messenger. "Each of the trio is over 90 years of age."
In 2014, all of the Chinese laborers who had worked on the First Transcontinental Railroad were posthumously inducted into the Labor Hall of Honor for their work on the First Transcontinental Railroad. This ceremony took place at the U.S. Labor Department headquarters in Washington, D.C., and U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez used the opportunity to underscore the vital contributions of those individuals.
"We are not just recognizing the miles and miles of railroad track they laid, we are recognizing them as the first in a long line Asian American and Pacific Islander workers who have contributed to America's strength and vitality," said Perez. "That is why we are here today, to recognize the Chinese railroad workers who didn't just build railroads, they helped build a nation."

Kevin Feige has insisted Black Panther 2 "always" intended to focus on other characters.
The Marvel Studios boss confirmed the upcoming sequel will not feature CGI footage of the late Chadwick Boseman – who died of cancer last August – nor would his role as T'Challa be recast, but stressed that the focus on the film was never intended to be on his character.
Kevin Feige says 'Black Panther 2' will focus on other characters Back to video
"So much of the comics and that first movie is the world of Wakanda," he told Deadline. "Wakanda is a place to further explore with characters and different subcultures. This was always and initially the primary focus of the next story. We're not going to have a CG Chadwick and we're not recasting T'Challa."
Kevin went on to praise writer-and-director Ryan Coogler for his "genius" work and, while the late actor won't feature in the movie, he promised the film will also "honour and respect" Chadwick's legacy.
"Ryan Coogler is working very hard right now on the script with all the respect and love and genius that he has, which gives us great solace, so it was always about furthering the mythology and the inspiration of Wakanda," he continued. "There's also the task of honouring and respecting the ongoing learnings and teachings from Chad as well."

With GDPR Deadline Looming, Ad Tech Community Proposes Collaborative Industry Solution
Posted on April 3, 2018 by The AD Club of New York
By Richard S. Eisert, Gary A. Kibel and Justin Lee
With just weeks remaining before the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becomes enforceable, the Interactive Advertising Bureau's Technology Laboratory (IAB Tech Lab) has published an OpenRTB GDPR Advisory explaining how a collaborative information sharing process may help ad tech companies comply with the GDPR.
By way of background, the primary goal of the GDPR is to give individuals in the EU more control over how their "personal data" (including cookie IDs and device identifiers) is used, and by whom. The GDPR seeks to do that by requiring individuals to affirmatively consent or "opt in" to the use of their personal data.
The Advisory specifies how ad tech companies can pass user consent through the OpenRTB protocol during a real-time bidding transaction for advertising inventory. Similar to the way a COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) signal can be conveyed between parties engaged in an ad call, this new string conveys a signal regarding whether GDPR-compliant consent has been obtained. Such real-time sharing of user consent information among publishers, buyers and data companies would be beneficial to all participants in the online advertising ecosystem.
While this process has not been officially endorsed by EU regulators, the Advisory may provide a possible solution for ad tech companies as they seek to finalize their compliance with the GDPR by the May 25 deadline. The Advisory is a reminder of the importance of finding solutions to meet the consent requirements under the GDPR before that time.
Ad tech companies, like all other businesses subject to the GDPR, are facing an imminent compliance deadline. Companies may be able to seek GDPR-compliant solutions through their own internal initiatives, using third-party services or collaborating with others in the industry.
