Барограф је метеоролошки инструмент за регистрацију промјена атмосферског притиска. Ради на принципу барометра којем је придодат регистрациони уређај.

Постоје метални барометри и барометри са живом. Метални барометар по Ришару (-{Richard}-) се састоји од неколико спојених анероидних капсула, с којима је повезано перо писаљке. Промјена притиска врши промјене димензија капсула, и писаљка биљежи промјене на папирну траку обавијену око ваљка. Ваљак врло споро ротира помоћу сатног механизма, и овим се добија стални запис.

Ваљак се окреће једном дневно, или једном седмично, већ зависно од уређаја. Добијена кривуља или крива се зове барограм.

Живини барометри су тачнији. Они имају пловак на површини живе, спојен са писаљком. Површина живе мијења висину зависно од атмосферског притиска. Постоје и конструкције живиних барометара на принципу ваге, или очитавања висине живе фото-електричним или фотографским путем.

Барограф се користи у метеоролошким станицама, а при аеролошким мјерењима је саставни дио метеорографа. Користи се и у авионима за мјерење висине.

A hundred years from now, the likelihood is that no one will remember you. But if you are a child of God, he will remember, not only for a hundred, but for an eternity. So live so that he will know you then. No one else will care.


I like the shadows on this version!
But I think the perspective kinda makes reading the logo a bit more exhaustive.
I think the logo without perspective (or maybe with only a little bit of perspective) is easier to the eyes.
That story bit reminds me of Silent Hill 2, hehe... It's an intriguing way to kick off the plot!
Just a thing I noticed: the "random jump height" problem that I was having, it was happening because I played the game before on my (relatively) old PC, and there were framerate issues during the gameplay.
Now I played it again on my new Laptop, and the game is now very smooth, making it easier to jump!
An interesting take on the most frustrating game in existence!
The artwork is simple, but nice!
For those daring to play this game, be prepared to hear your murloc growling... A LOT!
This is quite an interesting game! If you make more levels, I can't wait to see how crazy / creepy the puzzles can get, hehe. More lore would be interesting, too!
I noticed a few grammar errors, like the word "label" is written as "lable", and a word "too" is written as "to". And maybe you could add some periods after some phrases. But other than that, the text is fine!

5G Technology allow Each User Consume An Average of 30 Gigas | My Hack Stuff
5G Technology allow Each User Consume An Average of 30 Gigas
5G Technology Overview
5G technology is a revolution. It promises to change our relationship with the mobile phone and what surrounds us, leaving far behind the current 4G. It will do so in three axes: a higher speed (exceeding the gigabyte per second), a lower latency (the response time will decrease to two or three milliseconds, below even the human being) and a huge capacity to connect thousands of devices per square kilometer, allowing the decisive takeoff of the so-called internet of things and solving coverage problems. But, is 5G already a reality? When will the average user notice its advantages?
"We are working on it". It has been the most listened answer in the Forum 5G held last week in Malaga and where representatives of operators, manufacturers and other actors involved in the development of this technology participated. The implementation dates offered have been very similar for some: the first mobile phones will reach the market in the coming months, 2020 will be the year of the deployment of the infrastructure and 2021 when the operators launch the first data rates. Then the massive irruption will arrive, which will be definitive in 2023. "The user will then become a super user," says Jesús Martín, head of technology at Samsung Iberia. Each person will spend 30 gigas a month on average compared to the current two, according to the data that Huawei handles. "All this taking into account that this technology will reach the big cities first,
It still remains. And the first thing that must be built are the foundations of this information highway. "Without the infrastructure of the operators, it will not do to have a 5G cell phone," explains Virginia Teixeira, Director of Systems Engineering at Cisco, a communications technology manufacturer, who believes that this deployment should be done "in the future". that is not obsolete soon. "Technology is, now is your turn," insists Álvaro Villegas, director of Nokia Bell Labs Spain. Vodafone, Orange, Telefónica and MasMóvil do not reject their role. They have been testing and learning about 5G for years in various cities in Spain. But it is difficult to take the step because they bring the lesson learned after the experience of 3G and 4G. "Doing all the deployment of infrastructures involves a great expense," says Tomás Palacios, Director of Product Engineering at Orange Spain. "And to have a return on investments, we still need a more mature technology," he adds.
Renew or Adapt
Of course, nothing to open streets or install large antennas. Thousands of small cells will be installed next to the existing facilities or the urban furniture will be used. And they will not emit waves so that each device captures them like the current equipment: they will go directly to each terminal, as if it were a laser beam. Your reach is yet to be seen. There are tests that have shown a range of one kilometer, but others recommend that only 200 meters away from the devices. Whatever the final option, the cost of your installation will be high. It is debated if the option is to adapt part of the current 4G technology for use as 5G, although the experts assure that to get the best performance a complete renovation is better.
Attendees at the 5G Forum of Málaga. ÁLVARO CABRERA
The next step will be the terminals. Huawei brought its first commercial smartphone with 5G connection to Malaga on Thursday. It is the Mate 20X model, which will soon be joined by other competitors such as Samsung, which will begin selling its Galaxy S10 model, presented at the last World Mobile Congress in Barcelona, in the second half of the year. In total, "about 20 manufacturers announced terminals for this year," announces Javier Fernández, project manager with the administration of MasMovil, the youngest operator in Spain that integrates brands such as Yoigo, PepePhone or LlamaYa.
And, finally, the uses. The 5G is the umbrella that will strengthen virtual and augmented reality. Also Big Data, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence or biopharmaceutical. And, above all, it will revolutionize the internet of things by allowing a high number of devices connected at once, whether phones, cars or washing machines. "The connection between people and mobile phones will be broken: from then on we will be connected with things," says Javier García, head of radio network engineering at Vodafone Global.
Read about Only 15% Internet users use secure methods to protect accounts
And for the average user to endorse the technology, the entire 5G ecosystemgoes crazy to discover what the next killer application will be. That is, the application that determines the future use of this technology and makes it desirable and massive for citizens, as was the case with SMS messages or video calls. The e-sports and everything related to gaming can be the key. The autonomous car, the emergency drones, the improvement of the industrial productivity or the remote surgeries will be possible thanks to the 5G. But for the average citizen there are still gaps: their use will be similar to 4G. Of course, the expectations are high: "Whatever you think, it is going to be able to do," says García. And so that they can be done, the deployment of the 5G has already begun to travel its path. "We are working on it," says Álvaro Villegas, although his words could have been put in the mouth of any assistant to the 5G Forum of Malaga.
"SPAIN HAS A VERY GOOD STARTING SITUATION AND WE CAN NOT MISS IT"
The United States and South Korea, headquarters of Samsung, are the two countries that are already deploying general and successful 5G. The rest of the world is reordering frequencies, testing and promoting investment with pilot projects. Except Germany, one step ahead, Spain is in a situation similar to the rest of Europe and with an identical road map. This has been explained by a dozen responsible for manufacturers and operators to EL PÁIS. Also the government. "The starting situation is very good and we can not miss it," says Antonio Fernández-Paniagua, deputy general director of planning and management of the radioelectric spectrum and one of those responsible for the National 5G Plan.
In addition to promoting and promoting the 5G or improving the Telecommunications Law to facilitate the deployment of infrastructure, the executive is already working on reorganizing and defragmenting the frequency spectrums that the new technology will use. One of the bands was already put out to public contest last year and now the other two are already organized. Especially the 700 megahertz that now uses digital terrestrial television that should be available for 5G on June 30, 2020.

Hoobastank Didn't Even Have TikTok When Their 2004 Single Randomly Went Mega-Viral
Erica Russell Published: February 11, 2021
Courtesy of Chris Phelps
Hoobastank are not a perfect band—and quite frankly, they don't give a damn.
Twenty years since making their eponymous major label debut in 2001, the American rock group with the curious moniker have experienced their fair share of triumphs and tribulations. But oh, what a ride it's been, and their latest (albeit accidental) accomplishment—going wildly viral, thanks to the teens on TikTok—is so unexpected, it almost makes perfect sense for the band.
In January, Hoobastank's hit 2004 single, "The Reason," took off on TikTok, becoming the unofficial soundtrack for a viral challenge in which users show off their less-than-perfect moments and life choices. At the time, Hoobastank didn't have an account on the app. According to lead singer Doug Robb, he didn't even know all that much about TikTok to begin with—but when the band's song was suddenly being used in millions of viral videos, he knew it was time to pay attention.
So, on Jan. 27, Hoobastank uploaded their own entry in the #NotAPerfectPerson challenge, dropping the proverbial mic with a hilariously meta dig at their own admittedly funky band name. The clip has since racked up 2.8 million views.
Even all these years later, Hoobastank is totally in on the joke.
Below, Hoobastank's Doug Robb talks to PopCrush about misconceptions, going randomly viral on TikTok and why "The Reason" still resonates after all these years.
When and how did you first find out that "The Reason" was going viral on TikTok?
It was not too long ago. I heard a little bit about it from some friends, saying that there was something going on on TikTok. I didn't really hear how big it was until a week or so ago. They were telling us there were 300 million plus people doing this thing with our song, so that was enough for me to go check it out.
How familiar were you with TikTok before?
Not very. [Laughs] That's the most honest answer. I have a 10-year-old daughter whose friends use it, but she doesn't really use it that much. So I kind of see what's going on, but I didn't have the app on my phone or know what it was really about. It's all new, really.
Do you have a favorite #NotAPerfectPerson video you've watched, that you can recall?
There's been a few. There was one where a dog basically tore up a house when the owner was away, and they came back to the dog singing that it's not a perfect person, which I thought was funny.
How did you come up with the idea to spoof the hashtag by roasting your band's name?
Honestly, that was the first thing that popped in my head. I don't want to say there's a misconception out there about the band taking itself very seriously, but if there is, I want to [show] the way we clown each other all of the time. We've been around for long enough to be on the receiving end of amazing things on the internet, and also terrible things on social media. We've been the butt of every joke and we've also been on the mountaintop. I wish people knew that we joke about our band probably more than anybody has ever joked about our band.
Like, we get it! Some of the jokes and funny things that have been said about the band, to some it may be like, "Oh, that's kind of harsh." And for a second it might be, but then honestly, we're those guys who start laughing. We see the truth in certain things. We've been lucky enough to have been around for long enough that here we are twenty years later, still talking about the band and our music. I consider that pretty fortunate.
How do you plan on using TikTok moving forward?
Our other social media outlets are used more seriously, for the band. I don't want to say it's more business-like, but it's more business-like. When we [made our first TikTok], we thought, "Holy s--t, this might be the avenue to just mess around and show who we really are," instead of like," Yo, this is me behind the mic and this is me playing drums." It can be something a little more honest because, like I said, we spend as much time goofing off with the band as we do being really serious about the band.
We've been holding back, but if we're going to use TikTok, we just have to be more of our normal, stupid selves. There's this natural hesitation to let it fly. We're going to have to break through that a little bit. We've been talking trying to figure out what we want to do next and we'll come up with these ideas and then we always end up going, "Oh, I don't know. Is that too dumb?" There's a lot of self-censoring going on that we have to get over.
Your viral video earned more than 2 million views its first five days, and it racked up a million in its first 24 hours. Have you seen any impact on Spotify streams or YouTube views?
Somebody smarter than me would have actually gone to look at that stuff. [Laughs] Instead of checking out what having 2 million views on a TikTok in a few days could mean for the other platforms, I'm just the guy who's trying to figure out what kind of stupid joke I can do next. I haven't been paying attention. I don't really know where the bar is for TikTok, what the metrics are. If somebody came up to me and was like, "Doug, your TikTok video got a hundred likes,"' I'd be like, "Woah! A hundred likes!"
Our TikTok got 2 million views and one million likes or whatever, and that sounds like a lot, but then you'll see a video of someone folding a towel that's got a million likes. I don't really know, it's a good way to knock you back down. That being said, I don't think I'm going to be rushing off to YouTube to see if it changed anything. I think we're just going to have some fun with it and let the chips fall where they may.
"The Reason" came out more than 15 years ago. Why do you think that song still resonates with so many people?
If I really knew what it was, we would have made a bunch of different songs like that. [Laughs] I don't know. In hindsight it's such a simple song. Lyrically, it's not ambiguous, it's all out on the table. Obviously, it's a pretty universal emotion to feel: regret, sorrow, love, all of that kind of stuff. I think musically, while it is indicative of a certain genre from a certain period of time, I don't think it's too specific. It's not so obviously like, "Dude, that song is so 2004." With little tweaks here and there it could be from earlier or later. It's not so era-specific, because there are some songs that you could be like, "That's 2002 hard rock," and so on and so forth. That song transcends the specific sounds of the era, because it's so simple.
This year you're celebrating the 20th anniversary of your debut album. Looking back on the past two decades, what has been the standout moment for you?
It's hard to pinpoint one specifically. I usually gravitate towards these big festivals and shows that we've played in front of 50,000 people and stuff like that. Every once in a while someone will send me a clip and it's weird because in one breath, it feels like it was yesterday, and in another it seems like that's not even me. That's a different life, prior to kids and being a husband and father, which is a whole different [experience] than playing shows all the time. There have been a lot of awards and a lot of achievements but if I think about what I am thankful for the most, it's just that this ridiculous job has provided for my family. It's enabled me to help my family outside of my wife and kids, too. You get cool gifts and get to travel, which to me is equally as cool as playing at the Coliseum. What the job enabled me to have has been… wow. I would have never dreamt that it was possible. Still today, I can't believe it's real.
How do your kids react to those old Hoobastank videos and moments?
Whenever my kids see any type of accolade or old video with me in it, or I get recognized somewhere and they want an autograph or photo, they look at me like, "Huh?" They don't see that as being their dad at all. "That's not you, that's not my dad on stage, that's someone else." There's really a disconnect, so it's fun to be able to show them that stuff and see their reaction. It makes me think about the way I saw my parents when I was their age and how much I didn't know about their life prior to me being born. My kids know so much more about me and what I do, and did prior to them being born, than I did about my parents because it wasn't documented. It's kind of cool to see that because I never got to do that. I don't know what my parents did before I was born.
What's the biggest challenge you've overcome as a band?
I became a better singer. [Laughs] Being in a band for so long is like being married to three other people. The fact that we've been able to navigate egos and problems—it's not like we haven't had our share of problems, we've had serious problems that we've overcome. I think that says that we were such tight friends before we were a band.
However, I never had anxiety until I started playing music. It's something that our guitar player, Dan, used to tell me about 'cause he has anxiety … Low and behold, it strikes me at some point. But I don't feel special because almost everybody I know deals with it. You either go, "Dude, I'm too nervous to go on stage and I can't even breathe," or you go out and do what you do somehow. There have been times, for all of us honestly, where we've had to take a deep breath and just jump in the pool. The more I think about it, it's such a natural, human response to the pressures of being in the spotlight.
What's next for Hoobastank?
It's the twentieth anniversary of our self-titled debut album. I'm pretty sure [our guitarist] Dan spent a large chunk of last year transferring a bunch of analog taped footage onto digital format—tours, recording of the album and so much other stuff. There are hundreds of hours of unseen footage revolving around the album that we will be putting out in some way.
As far as music, there could be some new music in the works. That wouldn't be a bad idea. All of the shows that got canceled last year pretty much got pushed to this year, some in the States and some internationally, but they're not going to start until June which gives us a little bit of time to get this crazy situation under some semblance of control. But we'll see: I'd hate to say, "We're going on tour in July, August and September," and for it to not happen. Best case scenario there will be a lot of shows starting from the summer out, along with the twentieth anniversary stuff. And hopefully a lot of dumb TikTok videos. I was literally trying to make one a second ago before talking to you.

Švařec (deutsch Schwaretz) ist ein Ortsteil der Gemeinde Koroužné in Tschechien. Er liegt sechs Kilometer östlich von Bystřice nad Pernštejnem und gehört zum Okres Žďár nad Sázavou.

Geographie
Švařec erstreckt sich linksseitig der Svratka entlang deren Zuflusses Brťovský potok in der Böhmisch-Mährischen Höhe. Das Dorf wird umgeben von den Bergen der Nedvědická vrchovina und gehört zum Naturpark Svratecká hornatina. Nördlich erhebt sich der Švařec (Schwarzberg, 579 m), im Osten die Hůlkovice (625 m) und Švábův kopec (648 m), südlich die Sokolí hora (Zumberg, 625 m), im Südwesten die Kozlovská horka (576 m), westlich die Jahodná (Chocholadkyberg, 586 m) und im Nordwesten der Zubrštejn (Zuberstein, 687 m). Nordöstlich liegt das Naturschutzgebiet Švařec. Nordwestlich liegt die Burgruine Zubštejn (Zubstein).

Nachbarorte sind Koroužné im Norden, Brťoví im Nordosten, Čtyří Dvory im Osten, Hodonín und Beranka im Südosten, Záskalí im Süden, Kozlov im Südwesten, Lesoňovice und Pivonice im Westen sowie Kobylnice im Nordwesten.

Geschichte
Swarcz entstand im 13. Jahrhundert als Ansiedlung von Bergleuten bei einem der bedeutendsten Silberbergwerke des Stiepanauer Reviers am Zumberg. Wahrscheinlich leitet sich der Name des Dorfes von Swarczawa, dem früheren Namen der Svratka, her. 1346 wurde Swarcz als Teil der Zubsteiner Güter aufgeführt. Seit 1348 ist die Existenz der Bergkapelle der hl. Dreifaltigkeit belegt. Im 15. Jahrhundert kam Švařec zur Herrschaft Pernštejn. Die Dreifaltigkeitskapelle in Swarcz war 1596 einer der Hauptwallfahrtsorte der Herrschaft Pernstein. 1773 erlosch der Stiepanauer Bergbau.

Nach der Aufhebung der Patrimonialherrschaften bildete Svařec ab 1850 eine Gemeinde im Bezirk Neustadtl. 1949 wurde Švařec dem Okres Bystřice nad Pernštejnem zugeordnet. 1961 erfolgte die Eingemeindung nach Koroužné, zugleich kam das Dorf zum Okres Žďár nad Sázavou. Von 1980 bis 1990 war Švařec zusammen mit Koroužné an Štěpánov nad Svratkou angeschlossen. 1991 hatte der Ort 77 Einwohner. Im Jahre 2001 bestand das Dorf aus 38 Wohnhäusern, in denen 70 Menschen lebten.

The New Examen, the publisher's Limited Edition, signed by Winston Churchill, bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, copy 39 of 50
John Paget, with a Critical Introduction by Winston S. Churchill
London: The Haworth Press, 1934. Signed and Numbered Limited Edition. Full Leather. This is among the rarest and most desirable books with contributions by Sir Winston S. Churchill. The publisher produced 50 signed and numbered copies of this aptly named "Deluxe Limited Edition". Each copy is numbered and signed by Churchill directly below the limitation statement. This is copy number 39 of 50. Each was bound in full chestnut Niger Morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe with exquisite attention to detail, including raised spine bands terminating in blind-stamped flowered hinge designs on the covers, gilt decoration to all edges, and blind-ruled turn-ins. The contents are printed on hand-made, water-marked, laid paper bound with head and foot bands, gilt top edge, and untrimmed fore and bottom edges. "BOUND BY SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE, LONDON" is gilt-stamped on the lower front pastedown turn-in. This venerable firm, founded by Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe in 1901, was a leading London bookbinder and, like Churchill himself, endured the First World War, the Great Depression, the Second World War, and post-war austerity.
This copy approaches near fine condition. The magnificent binding remains square, tight, and supple, with sharp corners and no appreciable wear, even to hinges and extremities. Trivial blemishes and modest darkening to the spine are the only reportable flaws. The contents are bright and clean with a crisp feel and no previous ownership marks. The top edge gilt is bright, the otherwise clean untrimmed fore and bottom edges only modestly age-toned. The endpaper edges are browned from contact with the leather turn ins.
Few works read by Churchill seem to have impacted his own writing so substantially. Churchill was the driving force behind publication of a 1934 reprint, which attracted the unique honor of not only Churchill's lengthy introduction, but also this publisher's limited edition signed by Churchill. It is noteworthy that the only work authored by Churchill for which a publisher's signed and finely bound limited edition was issued is Churchill's own history of Marlborough - which is of course the work so influenced by Paget. John Paget's Examen was first issued in 1861 as a vindication of the Duke of Marlborough, openly critical of Macaulay.
Between 1933 and 1938, Winston Churchill published his own extensive, four-volume biography of his great ancestor, John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough. The major impact of Paget's work on Churchill is well-documented. Upon returning a borrowed copy of the original Examen, Churchill wrote to Lord Rosebery in 1924: "I have now obtained another copy of my own by advertising, and I am very glad indeed to possess such a little known and deeply interesting book. It certainly has cleared away some of the difficulties that I had felt to eventually undertaking to write about 'Duke John'." (Gilbert, Companion Volume V.1, p.290). "Paget's analysis of Macaulay's calumnies – and… Churchill's own researches… fired his family pride anew." (Woods, Artillery of Words, p.111)
Marlborough: His Life and Times ultimately took 10 years of research and writing and is the most substantial literary work of Churchill's "wilderness years" in the 1930s. When Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953, it was partly for "mastery of historical and biographical description" on the strength of Marlborough, which was specifically cited and quoted by the Swedish Academy. Arguably, this work and the accompanying accolades were catalyzed by Paget. In 1934, Churchill wrote a substantial, seven-page "Critical Introduction" to this new edition of Paget's Examen. In a letter to Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin Churchill wrote: "I send you herewith Paget's Examen resurrected by my exertions. I think you shd keep it in yr library alongside of Macaulay, to which it is a necessary corrective and counterpart." (Gilbert, Companion Volume V.2, p.735)

Microsoft launches AI Digital Labs in India, aims to train 1.5 lakh students
Aditi Agrawal
By Aditi Agrawal (	@aditi_muses aditi@medianama.com ) June 19, 2019
On June 13, Microsoft launched AI Digital Labs in India in collaboration with 10 institutes of higher education. Under this three-year programme, Microsoft will provide infrastructure, curriculum, training, access to cloud and AI services, and developer tools and support. This venture will train nearly 1.5 lakh students, the company says.
The 10 institutions are: BITS Pilani, BML Munjal University, ISB, Kalpataru Institute of Technology, KL University, Periyar University, Karunya University, SRM Institute of Science & Technology, SVKM (NMIMS) and Trident Academy of Technology.
"As AI becomes mainstream, organisations will require talent with skillsets that are very different from what exists now. Educators and institutions are integral to the skilling revolution taking root in the country," said Anant Maheshwari, President, Microsoft India.
Microsoft's role in the programme
Setting up core AI infrastructure and IoT Hub
Providing access to AI developmental tools and Azure AI Services (Microsoft Cognitive Services, Azure Machine Learning, Bot Services)
Training programmes for faculty — workshops on cloud computing, data sciences, AI, and IoT; assistance in strategising content and curricula
Microsoft's AI ventures in India
In October 2018, NITI Aayog and Microsoft India signed an agreement to deploy AI technologies to advance agriculture, healthcare, natural language computing, and a sustainable environment. Under the agreement, MS India would provide its cloud, AI, research and vertical expertise to NITI Aayog.
In September 2018, Microsoft India made the Microsoft Indian Language Speech Corpus available for researchers and academics who were building Indian-language speech recognition for all applications in which speech is used. It offered speech training and test data for Telugu, Tamil and Gujarati, and the data set included audio and corresponding transcripts.
In January 2018, the company announced the use of AI and Deep Neural Networks to improve real-time language translation for Hindi, Bengali, and Tamil.
Tech giants' foray into AI in India
Google introduced an India-specific Launchpad Accelerator Programme in July 2018, based in Bengaluru, that focuses on supporting and mentoring start-ups that are solving India-specific challenges using AI and Machine Learning. The company announced its second set of start-ups selected for the programme in March 2019, according to a Business Insider report.
In March 2019, Facebook held its first AI for India Summit in Bengaluru where it invited stakeholders from across the spectrum to discuss the best practices of AI for promoting social good. The day-long conference saw participation from NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant as well. The company announced 100 scholarships for students and developers to support projects that use AI for social good, 'Women in AI' hackathons to encourage women developers and women-led start-ups focused on AI, AI training under the Facebook Hubs programme, and India Innovation Accelerator to focus on AI for Social Good.
In 2017, Facebook developed an AI-powered 'Blood Donation Tool' that connects blood banks with registered blood donors.

Aerospace heads offer advice for federal election
By Brett Ballah on September 23, 2019
The heads of some of Canada's most important aviation manufacturers have a word of advice to offer politicians now in the midst of a federal election campaign: don't take aviation for granted.
The advice was offered during panel discussions with politicians in attendance at last month at the Aerospace, Defence, and Security Expo in Abbotsford, British Columbia.
"We need a national aerospace industrial strategy," said Kevin Lemke, Chief Operating Officer of Cascade Aerospace in Abbotsford. "There's more money going to be spent on future fighter, future training, remote pilot aerospace systems etc over the next few years than anywhere else.
"This is a chance to direct these things in a well thought out, strategic way to really help Canada regain, and move up the food chain in terms of nations with strong aerospace capability."

The Aerospace Industries Association of Canada has published a report called Vision 2025, expressing alarm that the country's aerospace industry is falling behind both traditional and new competitors. The group is calling on the federal government to partner with private companies in a number of key areas, such as space exploration, defence procurement, and support for the industry's skilled workers. AIAC also wants Transport Canada to make sure it can maintain Canada's internationally recognized status for aircraft certification and regulation, which has come under threat as skilled workers retire.

"I think there's a lot of good things going on," said Helmut Neuper, the President and Chief Executive Officer of MTU Canada, part of the world's largest independent commercial engine maintenance service provider. "Canada is leading in the world in simulator technology and things like that. But there is no country in the world where aviation just happens without active support from the government."
Neuper also took a shot at past government policies that have tended to favour manufacturers in Ontario and Quebec, where Canada's main aircraft plants – Longview in Toronto and Airbus in the Montreal area – are situated.
"Don't forget about Western Canada," he said. "Especially on the MRO side, there's a lot ot be said about being right at the Pacific Coast with the air traffic growing tremendously in Southeast Asia. Especially for the service industry, this is a good spot to be."
"We need to have that ingrained recognition of aerospace as an economic driver, not as a source of funds for the general coffers," said Tracy Medve, President of KF Aerospace, a Kelowna-based maintenance and repair company with facilities across Canada.
KF performs heavy maintenance on more than 150 aircraft annually, and is building a $30-million expansion at its Hamilton operation. Medve said many of her customers have shopped around the world for aircraft services, but come back and are willing to pay more for quality service.
"We're good at doing this stuff," she said. "But there has to be that recognition that we're here as part of the solution, not as part of the problems. And we don't have our hands out, we're just asking for a smoother path to do what we're already good at."
The AIAC estimates the aerospace industry accounts for 215,000 jobs across the country, but that 50,000 new employees will be needed to replace retiring workers in the next five to seven years. And that's where governments could help, encouraging students in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.

Cascade Aerospace's Kevin Lemke offered up a dire picture of what could happen if Ottawa doesn't step up with more support for the industry.
"I'm just Chief Operating Officer of a little 500-person company that's operating here," said Lemke. "Last year, I was personally contacted by over 20 U.S. states and seven international countries wanting to speak with me, to tell me all the incentives they were going to offer me to move my business to their jurisdiction."
He said countries as diverse as Bangladesh and the United Kingdom are keen to attract aviation-related companies.
"So if you want to talk about, 'is our government competing with other governments,' I'd suggest the answer right now is no."

Genetics Society Medal 2012
The Genetics Society is pleased to announce that Dr Stephen West (CRUK) will be awarded the 2012 Genetics Society Medal for his contributions to the fields of genetic recombination and DNA repair.
The Genetics Society Medal is an award that recognizes outstanding research contributions to genetics. Steve's early work on genetic recombination led to the development of elegant in vitro systems for homologous pairing and strand exchange by the E. coli RecA protein; these studies were followed by his discovery of the first Holliday junction resolvase RuvC and branch migration proteins RuvA and RuvB, which ultimately led to the development of an in vitro system of DNA recombination. In turn, Steve identified and purified both the RAD51 recombinase and the long elusive GEN1 Holliday junction resolvase from human cells. These seminal studies underpin our present understanding of the molecular basis of DNA recombination.Steve's research has also produced many key insights into the mechanisms underlying DNA repair and genome maintenance and tumour avoidance. The purification of the BRCA2 tumour suppressor, which is mutated in a significant proportion of individuals with a predisposition to breast cancer, enabled Steve to demonstrate that BRCA2 acts as a molecular chaperone that directs the loading of RAD51 recombinase to sites of DNA damage. Steve's research has also provided links between DNA repair and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Ataxia and Oculomotor Apraxia. Taken together, Steve's research exemplifies how genetics combined with biochemical and cell biological approaches can provide a mechanistic understanding of fundamental cellular processes.

In 'Greater New York' at PS1, James Nares Predicts the Destruction of Old New York
THE DAILY PIC: He shot a wrecking ball in '76, but it speaks to our demolitions.
Blake Gopnik, January 7, 2016
THE DAILY PIC (#1464): Yet another of this week's Pics from the "Greater New York" show at PS1, this time presenting one of the many older works that leaven this survey of "contemporary" art. It's a still from a Super 8 film called Pendulum, made in 1976 by James Nares. Nares shoots a giant wrecking ball, or a weighted sphere that passes for one, as it swings slowly back and forth down an alley in TriBeCa, at a time when the neighborhood was so new it had just been given a name of its own. (Click on my image to watch a clip.)
One of the great things about the vintage pieces at PS1 is that they set the stage for much of the art made today, but also take on new meaning in their new context. "Pendulum" once spoke of the abandonment of much of New York; there were whole neighborhoods where an artist could swing a giant sphere without anyone much noticing. Its wrecking ball stood for decay and demolition, and for disappearing heavy-metal technologies. Seen today, however, it seems to speak of the destruction, and posh reconstruction, of the very urban fabric where it once could swing free. The film seems to predict the loss of the setting that gave it life. (Courtesy the artist and Paul Kasmin Gallery, New York)

To continue our lighting talk from yesterday, I've gathered my favorite ceiling light options. These would be great in a hallway, bathroom, bedroom, or any space really. Some are technically "outdoor" lights but they can be used indoors and I like the rustic feel.
I think we'll put number 2 in our hallway and I'm determined to find more spots for the others! I've also found some great sconces during my online shopping extravaganza so I'll round those up next!

Salt water disposal system in Brookshire, TX was previously treated by competitor chemical company. Operator had seen rising injection pressure and increased bio-fouling in storage tanks after repeated service calls and chemical modifications.
Water storage tanks had developed thick pads of black sludge on top that tested greater than 10,000,000 cols/mL of SRB. Water analysis revealed 10,000 cols/mL of planktonic general aerobic bacteria. Injection pressure was coming close to permitted level.
This salt water disposal system injected 8,000 – 10,000 BBL/day, 90,000 chloride ppm brine. Incoming water averaged 1,000 cols/mL SRB and 0 cols/mL general aerobic bacteria. System temperature averaged 110°F. Corrosion LPR probe installed by RSI indicated >30 MPY (mils per year) at the injection well head. Injection pressure was 800 PSI.
After initial field survey, Refinery Specialties, Inc. recommended RSI-673 Water Treating Chemical be injected continuously into the salt water pipeline before the first water tank in the battery. Recommended dosage was 72 ppm. RSI recommended monthly water sampling, monthly quantitative bacterial fouling analysis and 90 day coupon monitoring.

Betrayed for a sentient sword called Aislin, his friends dead or dying, Barr woke in the waters and starry dark of a strange realm. A place where living shadows moved about, a plane between planes, it was a world of swirling mist that allowed for travel by thought alone. Its benefits were not without cost. There was a balance to maintain, a price in furie to be paid by the Matron of the Mists – Barr's mother. Without Aislin, her strength waned. Each use of the mists opened a portal to the Dark, a brief moment when umbrals could pass through. More than the Matron's life, all of Faeronthalsos, every life on every world, was in danger of being consumed. Rather than face losing the mother he had only just met, Barr was determined to find and return the sword. Meanwhile, Markus and his revenants did the bidding of a mad god. Little stood in their way but Barr, his friends and… The Mists of Faeron.

TREADING WATER: Learning to Swim at 35
It's never too late!
"Every stereotype has a nucleus, " my friend and fellow comedian Vince Morris often says. Unfortunately, I realized I had let myself become the embodiment of one: Black people can't swim.
What's that? You hadn't heard that stereotype before? The rest of the world has, as have American researchers, too. Despite the efforts of two-time Olympic gold medalist Cullen Jones, researchers say there are a variety of reasons we aren't learning how to swim – a fear of drowning (which is what I have) being a major one.
Alas, for all the titles I've had in my life— reporter, public relations director, NFL intern, writer, movie critic, sneaker enthusiast, stand-up comedian, HGTV star— there's one that's never been on that list: swimmer. Now, at age 35, I've decided to do something about it.
Don't blame my parents, though. It's my fault I can't swim. I remember my mother tried getting swimming lessons as a kid, which resulted in me having an outburst only comparable to the now infamous episode of Intervention where a son telling his father "I still love you" blew up YouTube. (I still got my Snoopy Sno–Cone machine, so I still won…right?) And for years, I was content to sit on the sidelines at pool parties, letting everyone know I wouldn't be getting in the water.
But in January 2013, a comedy festival requiring me to visit San Francisco that forced me to confront my greatest fear of all: Flying. Safely traveling to and from the West Coast, I realized I could survive facing my fears. Throw in how much I dislike stereotypes, let alone being one, and the quest to learn how to swim was in full effect.
As I suited up for my first lesson, I kept thinking "What have I gotten myself into?" The answer—a pool!—was obvious. What was not so obvious, though, is just how important a positive attitude and sense of calm is to any success.
And if you're considering getting swimming lessons, having a teacher like Brian that can help instill them in you is a great way to make you dive in head first.
Fresh off giving a lesson to another older, new swimmer —a woman at least 30 years my senior—I quickly sized up Brian to be everything I'm not: A 24 year-old, fresh-faced White dude who has been swimming nearly as long as he could walk. Energetic and friendly with looks that could serve him well should One Direction decide to add a new member, his easy-going vibe made the experience so much smoother.
"If I had to choose one thing that I think holds swimmers back the most, I would say that it is the lack of confidence," he said. "Many swimmers not have the confidence to trust themselves. In return, some will panic and cause themselves more problems than need be. "
Knowing my concerns, Brian started me off in a shallow pool so that I, at 5-foot-7, could stand if I necessary. That in turn helped me worry a lot less about being in public with my shirt off (no one is going to mistake me for Rick Ross, but I am chubby), which made it easier for me to relax and take instruction.
Familiarizing myself with previously foreign objects like a kickboard, pool noodle and a foam pad trainer, I've gone from being a bit shook by the pool to actually enjoying being in the water. While I am not ready to challenge Michael Phelps by any means, I'm no longer afraid to get in the water (at least not the shallow end) thanks to Brian's Zen-like approach, a little determination and my growing sense of "I can do this."
In fact, by the end of my third lesson, I swam an actual lap in a pool. Sure, it came with the aid of a noodle under my arms, but compared to where I was when I started, I'll take it.
Brian says my progress "has been great."
"I laughed when you told me that if you entered an aquatic facility to call 911 and wait. But with only a couple of lessons under your belt, I've been surprised at your willingness to push yourself out of your comfort zone and try everything that I have asked you to do," Brian said. "You have realized your potential. I'm excited to see how much more progress you can make."
Don't let your fears sink your chance to do the same.

The Significance of Votive Offerings in Selected Hera Sanctuaries in the Peloponnese, Ionia and Western Greece
Jens David Baumbach
235pp. Includes 300 figures, plates, maps, drawings, indices
A visit to the Samian Heraion can be a disappointment as the remains of what was one of the most important sanctuaries in antiquity are scanty. The buildings have been plundered down to their foundations and, after excavation, a large part of the remainshad to be covered up again in order to protect them from being destroyed by vegetation. Thus, a lot is left to the visitors' imagination. Since the Heraion is rarely referred to in ancient texts, our knowledge of it almost exclusively derives from the analysis of archaeological evidence. On the basis of the study of its architecture, it is possible to visually reconstruct the sanctuary, but what about the reconstruction of its cult? The significance of votive offerings as a source that provides insight into cult characteristics has often been underestimated. In this study, significant votive finds from various periods from six Hera sanctuaries are examined to find out both their specific and shared cult aspects. In the Peloponnese, the Heraia at Perachora, Argos and Tiryns are explored, and the Samian Heraion provides an insight into Hera's cult in Ionia; the analysis of the Heraia at Poseidonia - Paestum affords a study of two Hera sanctuaries belonging to the same polis. To shed light on the nature of the cults, the Heraia are considered on the basis of five fundamental cult aspects - pregnancy, childbirth, and growing up; marriage; home and family; agriculture and vegetation; and military aspects. The final chapter compares the evidence to try and define the individual, polis, and pan-Hellenic characteristics of the six sanctuaries under consideration.


I'm kidding, I took this picture a couple weeks before the trailer dropped. Still, I think I'll just loop it while I keep painting Ol' Leia here. I planned to only share the finished model on the blog but it has been taking so long, mostly because Dota. Still, I keep working slowly making process.

I had a setback recently. I was painting the lower portion of the helmet and having a terrible time of it. It seemed like the paint wasn't drying. I didn't want to risk ruining the surface so I pulled as much of the paint as I could using water and a brush. Most of it came off. I had put a few drops of drying retarder in my wet palette sponge but it should have been much less than the amount which would prevent the paint from drying.
I was so frustrated by this that it took me more than a month to start painting again.

Congress should block Iran nuclear deal
U.S. Congress should refuse to lift sanctions on the Iranian regime, thereby blocking implementation of a deal that would provide the regime in Tehran with billions of dollars to pursue nuclear weapons and regional hegemony, a nuclear proliferation prevention expert has announced.
Alan J. Kuperman, an associate professor and the coordinator of the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Project at the University of Texas at Austin warned "Showering Iran with rewards for making illusory concessions poses grave risks. It would entrench the ruling mullahs, who could claim credit for Iran's economic resurgence. The extra resources would also enable Iran to amplify the havoc it is fostering in neighboring countries like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen."
Kuperman said in an opinion piece published in The New York Times: "Lifting sanctions would facilitate a huge expansion of Iran's nuclear program. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, says that he wants 190,000 centrifuges eventually, or 10 times the current amount, as would appear to be permissible under the deal after just 10 years. Such enormous enrichment capacity would shrink the breakout time to mere days, so that Iran could produce enough weapons-grade uranium for a bomb before we even knew it was trying — thus eliminating any hope of our taking preventive action."

Orthodox Jewish Leaders Meet With President Obama
Today, a delegation of rabbinic and lay leaders from the American Orthodox Jewish community met at The White House with President of the United States Barack Obama and his Chief of Staff, Mr. Jack Lew. The meeting was organized by the Orthodox Union through its Washington, DC office and its Executive Director for Public Policy, Nathan Diament.
Among the policy issues discussed with the President and his Chief of Staff were:
· U.S. policy toward Israel
· U.S. action to thwart Iran's effort to obtain nuclear weapons
· Proposals for expanding federal aid in support of Jewish day school education
· The critical importance of protecting the religious liberties of faith-institutions in the United States
· Ongoing efforts to bolster the security of Jewish community institutions in the face of terror threats through the Nonprofit Security Grant Program
After the meeting, Dr. Simcha Katz, President of the Orthodox Union, stated: "We are deeply appreciative to President Obama and Chief of Staff Lew for meeting with us to discuss the President's priorities and the Orthodox Jewish community's values and interests."
Rabbi Steven Burg, Managing Director of the Orthodox Union, stated: "We are honored that the Orthodox Union could play our role as the convener of this important meeting with President Obama in service to our community and the country in which we are blessed to live."
Nathan Diament, the Orthodox Union's Executive Director for Public Policy, stated: "Today, President Obama engaged with Orthodox Jewish leaders in a thoughtful and serious conversation about the values and interests of our community. We look forward to ongoing opportunities to work with the President on shared goals."
At the conclusion of the meeting, in the Oval Office the Orthodox leaders presented President Obama with a framed reproduction of President George Washington's letter to the Jewish community of Newport, Rhode Island — the first occasion upon which Jewish leaders and an American president exchanged their views.

You can't have your cake and eat it…
Posted on 20 Oct 2008 by The Manufacturer
Premier Foods is reportedly considering selling off some of its leading brands in a bid to even up its books.
The company, shares of which have fallen 87 per cent in a year, is £1.8 billion in debt. The Financial Times said Premier will look to offload brands like Mr Kipling cakes in a bid to recoup £200-300 million. Alternatively it may issue additional equity though chief executive Robert Schofield has voiced concerns about the company's low stock price in terms of the feasibility of such a move.
Schofield does however remain staunchly optimistic about Premier's prospects, given the market in which it operates. "We make soup, beans, salt and vinegar and people are eating in more," he said.
Premier Foods' other brands include Hovis, Branston, Bisto, Ambrosia and Oxo.

The Problem with "Crossing Lines"
24 Jun The Problem with "Crossing Lines"
After weeks of anticipation, I finally had a chance to watch the premiere of Crossing Lines, the new NBC drama about a police unit that works for the International Criminal Court. As a police procedural, the show is not bad. William Fichtner is fantastic as always. Production values are extremely high. Bringing together detectives and investigators from a number of European states is a nice idea. And all the actors have nice accents.
But as a show about the ICC, Crossing Lines is an unmitigated disaster.
The problem, of course, is with the basic premise. I could almost accept a show that gave the ICC a police force; after all, who among us doesn't wish it had one? But I cannot accept a show that invents an ICC police force that investigates, in the words of one of the executive producers, "topical crimes and illicit global trades such as plutonium poisonings, serial killings, kidnappings, human trafficking and drug smuggling." Indeed, the two-hour pilot has the "ICC team," as it's called — complete with ICC badges — investigating a serial killer who has killed four women in European capitals.
I was very curious to see how, if at all, the writers would get around the inconvenient fact that the ICC team will investigate crimes over which the Court has no jurisdiction. At first they just avoided the issue: after the newly-recruited Fichtner character points out that the ICC usually investigates war crimes and genocide, the leader of the team simply replies, "for now we're going to try something…" He then changes the subject and explains that the team is comprised of the best and brightest detectives from various Western European states. (Africa's worst nightmare!)
But then things get ridiculous. Initially, the ICC — via Donald Sutherland, who plays some unidentified but clearly important role at the Court — refuses to sanction the team because the powers-that-be are worried its investigations will "usurp the power of sovereign states." (I guess the whole notion of consenting to the Court via ratifying the Rome Statute is too difficult to explain — or too dramatically unsatisfying.) The pretty Italian investigator protests, pointing out to Donald Sutherland that he once wrote a report about Kosovo in which he said the ICC was the only place the "mothers and wives of missing Serbs" could turn for justice. (I'll let my friend Marko Milanovic mock Donald Sutherland's concern for the fate of Kosovo's Serbs. I'll simply note the disappearance of the Court's temporal jurisdiction.) The leader of the team agrees — and adds in defense of the serial-killer investigation, "it's a crime of aggression that is ongoing, systematic, and crosses borders – this is exactly what the ICC does." (Um, no.) Donald Sutherland relents, and quickly returns with "an order" signed by a "magistrate" that permits the team to investigate the killings over the objection of national police forces. (Magistrates at the ICC?)
You don't have to be an ICC expert to realize that the show's treatment of the Court's jurisdiction is a fiasco. And there are numerous minor errors in the show that also collectively annoy: it says the ICC is based in Holland (technically correct, but the Court itself says it's in the Netherlands); the ICC logo is wrong, with the Court's initials instead of the scales of justice; the Court's parking sign is only in English; there is apparently a dusty, brick-lined basement in the Court that isn't being used for anything; the team has a machine that makes a holographic reproduction of a crime scene (pretty sure that's not in the ICC budget!); etc.
Having spent a couple of years writing television in Hollywood, I accept the need for dramatic license. But Crossing Lines is not just wrong — it's wrong in a way that can only harm the ICC. Very few Americans outside of academia understand how the Court functions, and that lack of understanding no doubt helps explain why so many Americans oppose the Court and perceive it as a threat to US sovereignty. This show will only reinforce their ignorance and their skepticism. Even worse, for those Americans who do not reflexively oppose the ICC, it will saddle the Court with unrealistic expectations. Why shouldn't the Court have a police force? Wouldn't that make it work better? Why doesn't it address serious crimes like drug trafficking? (The show should be very popular in Trinidad and Tobago.) Why should it be limited to investigating crimes committed after 1 July 2002? Why doesn't it have nifty technology that would make investigating crimes so much easier?
What I find the most baffling is that, as best I can tell, there was absolutely no reason for the producers to set Crossing Lines in the ICC. Doing so is simply a counterproductive distraction. Why not set the show — which, as I said, is a relatively interesting police procedural — at Interpol? Interpol doesn't have a police force either, but it's certainly not impossible to imagine states giving it one. And Interpol is, in fact, involved in nearly all of the crimes the show wants to explore.
I have no idea whether Crossing Lines will survive. The premiere's ratings were less than impressive. But rest assured, dear readers: your humble reporter will stay on the case until the bitter end.

I give it six months tops before Texans start petitioning their state government to make it a crime for ICC Police to make arrests in Texas and withholding all funding from Texas State Police for any cooperation with the ICC Police.
This post reminds me of law school classes where professors would take some completely minor issue and blow it out of proportion to make a fine legal point. No matter that no law student in the classroom could actually grasp the legal issue, because they all simply lacked the background knowledge and training to appreciate the legal finesse behind the professor's reasoning. The law professor remained undeterred, looking completely ridiculous but convinced of the importance of her mission. The entire post is hilarious beyond words, but this paragraph tops them all: "You don't have to be an ICC expert to realize that the show's treatment of the Court's jurisdiction is a fiasco.

I haven't seen the series yet but really enjoyed reading the post! It is actually interesting to see how international justice and internaitonal law in general is shown in movies. It gives a good idea on how that field of law inspires movie makers and scenarists… and on what happens if they don't have an IL consultant while preparing the movie… Maybe Maya is right and noone but international lawyers care about those things but I think it's a good (and fun!) exercice to examine movies from a diffrent angle for once.
Those who are interested in this topic should definitely check out the website of the Centre for internaitonal law of the Université Libre de Bruxelles. A couple of months ago we have started a project consisting on commenting movies' vision of IL. Here is the link to a couple comments : http://cdi.ulb.ac.be/les-films/ We'll be posting new ones soon!
Enjoy and thanks for the post!
Maybe the show will become hugely popular and people will be so impressed by the ICC's imaginary police force tracking down international bad guys there will be a demand for the US join it. 🙂
I couldn't agree more. The extent and nature of inaccuracies make it very damaging to efforts to bring about a correct understanding of the ICC. It is a shame because a decent tv drama could have had an important pedagogical role. If they had just made one major error, like giving the ICC a police force, it wouldn't have been nearly as bad. In speaking to visiting students at the ICC, I always found reference to the inaccurate portrayal of Interpol in Blood Diamond a particularly effective way of conveying the challenge facing the ICC in securing cooperation and arrests. In this case, however, as you say, the show bore so little resemblance to anything to do with the ICC, it's hard to know where to start. The reference to serial killing as aggression was particularly priceless. I think the advice of Judge Kirsch still stands: if you want to understand the ICC, watch Law and Order. Obviously, this doesn't apply to understanding the details of the criminal process vis-a-vis particular national processes, but the larger points are true: 1. The ICC is a court engaged in the same general business as national courts and . 2. The ICC depends… Read more »
Response…At the beginning of the show, William Fichtner is picking up trash using a stick with his right hand and a glove on the left. A few seconds later, the glove is on the right hand and the stick in his left. ??????
It's astonishing just how much Maya (commenter above) misses the point. I wonder if it's on purpose? Almost a Q.E.D. finale for this post.
Response…Thank you, KJH, you took the words out of my mouth! Not only is this show ridiculously confusing for no apparent reason for U.S. audience, one can only imagine what actual victims of crimes that DO fall in the jurisdiction of the court would think of this nonsense. (If they ever had a chance to see this, would they expect this group to show up in Darfur next? After all, they have badges and a piece of paper from the ICC that apparently gives them special powers everywhere!)
If the producers wanted to support the ICC, they could've followed the example of Law and Order SVU, and done an episode that portrayed the ICC in a way that wasn't 99% inaccurate. (The L&O: SVU episode was shot in part at the UN, involved child soldiers and IIRC, the ICC hook was that one of the suspects in the murder of a child refugees from Uganda was wanted by the ICC, and killed the child because the victim could identify the perp as LRA, or something like that.) This show does the opposite by sowing nothing by confusion and giving the exact wrong impression about the ICC. Why bother?
Justsayin'
anyone notice that in the premier that in the beginning he was wearing a glove on his right hand then he was walking out of his camper and he had the glove on his left hand and a second later it was back on the right hand?!
Dov Jacobs
Well said Kevin. I can't believe that you actually watched the whole show… I'm stuck on 20 minutes and the idea of watching more makes me want to cry…
Did you see that it was a French co-production? I'm so ashamed right now…
Jim, I saw that too. Amateurs…
Maya, of course you might be right and this is unimportant. But what is really important in life that deserves to be commented on? Also, in case you hadn't noticed, this is an international law blog and this is what we speak about here. Leave us nerds to what we do, thank you very much…
Thanks for the link Martyna, this movie & international law project looks very promising!

Ducks goalie John Gibson honors Donkey Kong with new mask.
The original Donkey Kong was released in 1981. Anaheim Ducks goalie John Gibson wasn't born for another 12 years.
This minor detail hasn't stopped Gibson from becoming an ardent fan of Donkey Kong, which he decided to honor on his new mask that's basically as awesome of a goalie mask as we've seen since….Gibson's last Nintendo-inspired face protector.
With appearances from Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Duck Hunter and now Donkey Kong on Gibson's masks, it looks like Super Mario may be on the clock. Or perhaps Mega Man.

Biomet Receives FDA Clearance for Two New Products: E1(R) Humeral Bearing for the Comprehensive(R) Reverse Shoulder System and the Comprehensive(R) Segmental Revision System
WARSAW, Ind., Jan 11, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE)
— Biomet, Inc., a global leader in the manufacture of orthopaedic and biotechnology products, today announced clearance of two new products by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA): the E1(R) humeral bearing for use with the Comprehensive(R) Reverse Shoulder System, and the Comprehensive(R) Segmental Revision System.
The E1(R) humeral bearing with exclusive Antioxidant-Infused Technology is the first Vitamin E advanced bearing option for reverse shoulder applications. Biomet first applied the clinically successful(1) E1(R) technology to its hip and knee products. The integration of E1(R) technology into the Comprehensive(R) Reverse Shoulder portfolio will provide surgeons and patients with an advanced bearing surface with oxidative stability, high strength and low wear.(2,3)
"Biomet is the first company to bring advanced bearing surfaces to the shoulder," said John Sperling, MD, orthopaedic surgeon, Rochester, Minnesota. "The outstanding wear characteristics and proven track record of E1(R) bearings will provide a tremendous benefit to patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty."
The FDA also cleared Biomet's Comprehensive(R) Segmental Revision System (SRS), a humeral replacement system designed to address significant bone loss, both proximally and distally. The Comprehensive(R) SRS offers oncologic options, soft tissue attachments, and multiple sizing options, and is compatible with the Comprehensive(R) Shoulder system and the Discovery(R) Elbow system.
"The Comprehensive(R) SRS is a breakthrough in shoulder and elbow arthroplasty design," said Dr. Sperling. "This system is specifically designed to address humeral bone deficiency in revision and oncologic settings."
"This system is particularly helpful for surgeons specializing in revision shoulder or elbow surgery where modularity and intra-operative flexibility is critical," said Quin Throckmorton, MD, orthopaedic surgeon, Memphis, Tennessee.

Has anyone else had problems with the Bio Met Metal on Plastic Hip replacement.I had a complete replacement and after 15 months the plastic cup broke and had to be replaced..That cup then failed again after 7 weeks and had to be replaced. It has been only 2 weeks since that surgery. After the first trip to PT the hip is throbbing and the pain is unbearable I will be contacting my Doctor tomorrow and asking to come in for an X-Ray to see if it has failed again. I believe I have a Regenerex Hip Implant and it is ruining my life, health and in the end I will lose my job.


Martin Bishop (Robert Redford) is the head of 'Sneakers', a computer group who test security systems. However, his political activist past catches up with him when the government use it as a lever to force him into doing some of their hi-tech dirty work. Bishop and his team reluctantly comply, only to discover that the missing black box they have been hired to retrieve can break into any computer system in the world!


With a focus on locally sourced, natural materials and innovative design, the new Wulugul Pop Up development at the edge of the Barangaroo waterfront is touted as Sydney's most exciting and vibrant temporary space.
Big River's Blackbutt Armourpanel, together with recycled cardboard tubes, are at the heart of the installation and enabled designers and specifiers Foolscap Studio along with private construction firm CJ Duncan, to achieve a thoughtfully designed urban oasis that replicates the unique forms and natural colours of the surrounding landscape.
Overall, 80 standard sheets (2400x1200x18mm) of Big River's Blackbutt Armourpanel made from native Australian timber, were used across the 170-metre-long design scheme for seating, garden edges, stool tops, sign boards, table tops and TV enclosures, creating an engaging, multi-functional communal space for local residents, workers and visitors.
Big River also supplied the project with framing pine, structural and Lauan plywood for the various structural and decorative applications within the site.
Foolscap Studio specified Big River's Blackbutt Armourpanel as their design scheme focused on local and sustainably sourced materials that would be durable in this challenging location. "Due to the area's close proximity to the waterfront, we needed a hardwearing timber product that would not only be able to handle high levels of people traffic, but which would also be durable enough to withstand the elements the area is regularly exposed to," comments Josh Black, Commercial Director at CJ Duncan.
Part of the 22-hectre Barangaroo development 'The Streets of Barangaroo', the Wulugul Pop Up opened to the public in November last year and runs along the length of Wulugul Walk. It hosts a number of modern food stalls, drink kiosks, co-working areas and lush communal garden spaces filled with pockets of native greens, which will mask the incoming restaurant spaces until they are unveiled later this year.
Big River Armourpanel is Australia's strongest decorative plywood and has been designed, tested and approved to tolerate extremes of heat and humidity, and to resist shrinkage. Its tolerance of changes in ambient temperature and its toughness make it ideal as flooring, ceiling or wall linings in hard-wearing areas.
Every panel is made from layers of Australian eucalypt hardwood veneers bonded together to form a strong, solid, stable panel. Available as a 2400 x 1200 sheet or optional 1800 x 1200, every sheet is individual and manufactured in Australia under the Plywood Association of Australia's third party audited quality control program and milled from managed regrowth and plantation forest hardwoods. It is Australian Forestry Standard (AFS) certified.

I heard a short story on NPR about an auction of the entire contents of the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans museum. Apparently, the family needs the money to pay off debt. I went to the Christie's website this morning and if bids were still being accepted, I would have bid on a lot of silk scarves worn by Ms. Evans – 16 in all. The auction estimate was $300 to $500. I would have paid more.
In a previous lifetime – back in the '70s – I worked for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, first in Winnipeg, then in Toronto, then back in Winnipeg. (I've heard all the jokes and snide comments so just let it go.) For the last season of my seven years with the network, I was the senior (line) producer on the hour-long evening news and current affairs show. And it was a pretty plum job – FOR WINNIPEG. We had our own building – a charming (?) old church with offices downstairs, studio on the main floor and control room in what had been the choir loft. But I digress. Whenever a "celebrity" came through town, he or she would usually end up on our show. Once, that celebrity was Dale Evans. For all of us of a certain age (you know who you are), she was an icon. Before she arrived, the show host and I talked about the interview and I suggested that at the very end she ask Ms. Evans to sing "Happy Trails." I figured the worst that could happen was she'd decline but if she agreed…well, how cool would that be?! In she walked with her gorgeous Western clothes – remember those big skirts with piles of crinolines underneath?! – and a beautiful smile. She was extraordinarily gracious, chatting with everyone who approached her, signing autographs. And at the end of the segment, proudly singing "Happy Trails."
I wonder if anyone else remembers…

The Pedagogical College of Da Lat, a must-see for tourists visiting the beautiful capital city of the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong, will close its doors to visitors starting today, April 12, the school's management board announced on Thursday.
Built in the heart of Da Lat using a combination of Western and Oriental architecture styles, the Pedagogical College of Da Lat has become a popular tourist attraction due to its quaint and charming ambiance.
However, those who have yet to visit the iconic school of Da Lat may never have the chance to do so, as the school's management team has declared that visitors will no longer be permitted on campus due to security reasons and to protect the school's landscape.
Aside from prohibiting tourists from entering the school, the college will continue to operate as usual.
A school staffer revealed to Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper that the decision was made in response to concerns that pressure from the massive number of visitors to the school was putting a serious strain on its facilities, sanitation, and security force.
"The college welcomes over 70,000 visitors every year, constituting a significant portion of our operational costs, even though it is designed to function as a small-size educational institution," the staff told Tuoi Tre.
A huge chunk of the school's operational expenses goes toward cleaning trash left behind by tourists, the staffer said.
The news comes as a serious disappointment to Da Lat lovers.
"It's a pity that the school will stop welcoming visitors," said Tran Tuan Tien, a Ho Chi Minh City resident currently visiting Da Lat.
"But it would be a greater pity if tourism caused damage to the school's architecture," Tien added.
Some have even suggested that the Pedagogical College of Da Lat begin collecting entrance fees from visitors to offset the cost of maintaining the architecture and landscape.
The Pedagogical College of Da Lat was built between 1926 and 1935, and is the only construction work in Vietnam recognized by the Union of International Architects (UIA) as one of the world's 1,000 most unique buildings constructed in the 20th century, according to local news outlet VietNamNet.
It was acknowledged as a National Architecture Relic on December 28, 2001.
The building began to deteriorate in 1975 due to improper use.
Randomly repairs made without permission from state agencies that oversee heritage management led it to decline further.
A number of its classrooms have been converted into accommodations for teachers and officers from other localities visiting Da Lat for working trips.
Several school staffers even live inside the school and have turned classrooms into 'apartments' in which they live and raise children.
