Pump Operating costs - $800 per year in energy savings in electricity alone. 2" suction lines (rather than 1 �",) sweep 90� elbows, a high efficiency/high flow cartridge filter with 90% less restriction, no complicated backwash valve, full flow 3 way valves, extra returns and supply lines and a detailed calculation to set your pump speed at the exact optimal speed.
Robotic Cleaner - $150+ savings in nasty, harsh chemicals and water per year. Our state of the art robotic cleaner doesn't just stir dirt around for your filter to collect (and require extra filter cleaning, chemicals, an inefficient booster pump and backwashing. A robotic cleaner will save thousands of gallons of water a year due to decreased filter backwashing.
Basic Chemicals - $850 savings in nasty, harsh chemicals per year (and this is on the low side!) pH up, algaecide, chlorine tablets, weekly shock, water clarifier. It is not uncommon to spend $40-$80 per week on chemicals alone. With our salt water chlorination system, you will need about $75 of muriatic acid a year and some scale preventer costs about $35. You also will occasionally need to add salt after rain storms or splash out. This will be about $60 a year. No weekly chlorine. No regular shock. No tablets. No algaecide. No waiting to swim after putting in chemicals. Normal pool chemicals = approx. $1000+ per year. Monogram salt water pools use about $150 of salt and pH adjuster per year.
Diatomaceous earth, water, and chemicals - $100 in annual savings in H2O, chemicals, & DE! Approximately every six weeks you will need to backwash a DE filter by pumping about 1000 gallons of pool water back through the filter to clean it. Most people do this 3-4 times a season and every time you backwash, you need to re-adjust the chemicals in the pool. No need to do this with our state of the art 2 stage cartridge filter.
LED pool lights vs. energy wasting incandescent - $100 in annual savings in electricity! Our ultra energy efficient LED lights will not only look better than old fashioned bulbs, but they will change colors, last 10x as long and save you about $100 per year over standard, 500w pool lights.
Sta Rite 400k Btu Heater - This equates to approximately $100 in annual gas savings! Our ultra energy efficient heater is the highest rated heater in its class.

Remarkably diverse flora in Utah, USA, trains scientists for future missions on Mars

Future Martian explorers might not need to leave the Earth to prepare themselves for life on the Red Planet. The Mars Society have built an analogue research site in Utah, USA, which simulates the conditions on our neighbouring planet.
Practicing the methods needed to collect biological samples while wearing spacesuits, a team of Canadian scientists have studied the diverse local flora. Along with the lessons that one day will serve the first to conquer Mars, the researchers present an annotated checklist of the fungi, algae, cyanobacteria, lichens, and vascular plants from the station in their publication in the open-access journal Biodiversity Data Journal.
Located in the desert approximately 9 km outside of Hanksville, Utah, and about 10 km away from the Burpee Dinosaur Quarry, a recently described bone bed from the Jurassic Morrison Formation, the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) was constructed in 2002. Since then, it has been continuously visited by a wide range of researchers, including astrobiologists, soil scientists, journalists, engineers, and geologists.
Astrobiology, the study of the evolution and distribution of life throughout the universe, including the Earth, is a field increasingly represented at the MDRS. There, astrobiologists can take advantage of the extreme environment surrounding the station and seek life as if they were on Mars. To simulate the extraterrestrial conditions, the crew members even wear specially designed spacesuits so that they can practice standard field work activities with restricted vision and movement.
In their present research, the authors have identified and recorded 38 vascular plant species from 14 families, 13 lichen species from seven families, 6 algae taxa including both chlorophytes and cyanobacteria, and one fungal genus from the station and surrounding area. Living in such extreme environments, organisms such as fungi, lichens, algae, and cyanobacteria are of particular interest to astrobiologists as model systems in the search for life on Mars.

However, the authors note that there is still field work to be executed at the site, especially during the spring and the summer so that the complete local diversity of the area can be captured.
"While our present checklist is not an exhaustive inventory of the MDRS site," they explain, "it can serve as a first-line reference for identifying vascular plants and lichens at the MDRS, and serves as a starting point for future floristic and ecological work at the station."

The Saga of Roky Erickson and The 13th Floor Elevators, The Pioneers of Psychedelic Sound
Paul Drummond
Foreword by Julian Cope
The trailblazing 13th Floor Elevators released the first "psychedelic" rock album in America, transforming culture throughout the 1960s and beyond. The Elevators followed their own cosmic agenda to change society by finding a new path to enlightenment. Their battles with repressive authorities are legendary.
Lead singer Roky Erickson was put away in a maximum security unit for the criminally insane for years. Tommy Hall, their Svengali lyricist, lived in a cave. Guitarist Stacy Sutherland was imprisoned. The drummer was involuntarily subjected to electric shock treatments.
This fascinating biography breaks decades of silence of band members and features dozens of never-before-printed photos. "One of the most exhilarating rock 'n' roll stories ever told." — Julian Cope

Huts in Villabassa: They can be a destination for a hike across alpine pastures, a stop to refresh yourself on a longer tour, or for overnight stays during longer explorations. Visiting one of the rustic huts in Villabassa is an experience. Particular delights are the South Tyrolean Marende snack of Speck bacon, cheese and Schüttelbrot flat-bread, a Kaiserschmarrn with cranberries, dumplings and Schlutzkrapfen ravioli.

Medical Malpractice Lawyers Peterborough
Neinstein medical malpractice lawyers are available to take on malpractice claims in the Peterborough area.
Patients in Ontario's hospitals are entitled to expect that nurses and doctors will perform their duties with a highly level of competency. A patient can reasonably expect that they will be issued the proper tests, diagnosed correctly, and administered the correct medication. In cases where surgery or any other operation is necessary, the patient should expect that it will be performed in a safe, clean environment. While a hospital may not be responsible for the actions of individual healthcare practitioners, it is responsible for implementing policies, equipment, and systems which protect the health of its patients.
Medical malpractice can occur at any point in the care cycle, be it during diagnosis, operation, post-op care, or drug administration. Mistakes such as giving a patient the wrong medication or failing to monitor a vulnerable patient can result in stroke, brain injury, permanent disability, or even death. Even the most subtle errors can have dangerous implications for a patient's health. In each of these cases, medical malpractice lawyers can help you determine whether you have been the victim of malpractice.
The authors of the 2004 Canadian Adverse Events Study, which examined the incidence of adverse events among hospital patients coast to coast, estimated that between 3,561 and 9,143 patients in Ontario died as a result of nearly 72,000 adverse medical events. In 2013, only six deaths and 29 adverse medical events were reported, suggesting that a majority of potential malpractice claims go unreported. In Ontario's secretive and opaque healthcare system, medical malpractice lawyers play an important role in ensuring patients' right to a high standard of care is protected, and that there are consequences to instances of medical malpractice in the province. Medical malpractice claims are difficult to put together, and require that strong evidence be promptly obtained and preserved. A medical malpractice lawyer will help navigate you through the complicated legal proceedings, allowing you and your family to focus on recovery.
Neinstein has a team of experienced medical malpractice lawyers who are happy to help you evaluate and pursue your malpractice claim. Neinstein's lawyers have experience with a wide variety of malpractice suits, including those regarding nursing errors, cardiac arrest, medication errors, hypoxic brain injuries, sepsis, surgical negligence, atrial fibrillation, tPA administration, acquired brain injuries, and a number of different forms of cancer. Duncan Embury, head of Neinstein's Medical Malpractice Group, has been handling medical malpractice cases for more than 20 years. He leads a group of experienced, reliable >medical malpractice lawyers who are prepared to vigorously defend your claim.
If you or a family member has suffered a serious injury as the result of a medical error, contact a medical malpractice lawyer at Neinstein today. Our head office is located at 1200 Bay St, Suite 800, in downtown Toronto. Call us toll-free at 1-844-920-4242 to arrange a free, no obligation case evaluation and consultation with one of our medical malpractice lawyers. Neinstein offers service to the Peterborough area, and would be happy to assess your claim.


Abstract nouns, especially amount words (majority, minority, amount), specify more precisely the meaning of an utterance.
e.g. It may have been an error in a business deal.
In the second sentence might presupposes a greater degree of uncertainty and sounds more tactful than may.
Texts of business documents are specific and aimed at a definite purpose. In order to make one's business work and work effectively, a person should possess knowledge of language standards in business letters. Skilful application of this knowledge is somehow determined by standards of documents' writing. If a document is written in an accepted way, it will be assessed by specialists. A unified business text takes up less time and work to compile in comparison with private letters.
Since a writer of a business letter has a unified form in front of him / her, this person follows a set pattern while doing it. All the writer's attention is focused on major information and data which represent the subject of the document. In this way, an addressee can decode the subject-matter faster, because a document is written in the standardised form.
Moreover, if business documents are drawn up in a unified and, to some extent, simplified way, it takes less money spending and saves time of the dealing sides, and shortens the time of business procedure as well. A special branch of English linguistics, - business English, - is devoted to the purpose of simplifying of business making.
Written business English has got certain traits and problems of its usage, not only for foreigners, but for English-speaking business people.
Knowledge of drawing up business correspondence is equal to communicating with people in a businesslike manner [7, P.4]. A person should know rules of documents' writing to make one's business effective and profitable. All of them are united under the notion of style.

My writing "group" is actually just two of us—the perfect size party for ordering Zuni's roast chicken. We drank wine, ate the bread, shared this gorgeous bowl of "Moroccan Jewels," which I can't wait to recreate at home (let me know if you'd like the recipe), a salad, the chicken and finished with espressos. After three years of doing this very same thing, it's become our tradition. I love it.
Really I love any good holiday tradition. This is why every year, I make these sweet (and so so easy) peppermint meringues from Bon Appetit (pictured above) and recipe here.
It's also why I make David Lebovitz's cranberry shrub and the cocktail he makes with it. Every. Year.
While making cioppino isn't a tradition for me, I'd like it to be so I'll be making this recipe. It's one I created for a Robert Mondavi wine club newsletter—back when I was a freelance food writer—a lifetime ago.
When I'm not baking, shaking or cooking this week and next, I'll be reading. I'm in the middle of "First Comes Marriage," by Huda Al-Marashi. The last three books I read were: "Bitter Orange" by Claire Fuller (LOVED her book "Swimming Lessons"), "Lies that Bind" by Craig Smith, and "Americanah" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie—I was way late to this book and kicked myself for it because it was brilliant and enlightening and inspiring and so much more. Read it today if you too missed it when it was released. Up next is "Bel Canto" by Ann Patchett—another late-to-the-party book for me but I want to read it before the movie comes out! All of these books can be purchased at Napa Bookmine.
I hope you enjoy your holidays and especially the traditions you've created for yourself.

The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (Batten Disease)
Edited by Sara Mole, Ruth Williams, and Hans Goebel
The definitive text on the Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses
An updated, comprehensive volume on this devastating group of disorders
Provides valuable advice on diagnosis, care, and new treatments
Written by international authorities in the field
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are an extremely rare group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases that primarily affect children. Core symptoms of these conditions typically include epilepsy, cognitive decline and visual failure. These diseases are so rare that professionals who come into contact with them need a consultative reference work that enables them to become expert, or identify who to contact for more details.
Fully updated and revised, this second edition continues to be the definitive volume on this devastating group of disorders. Written by an international collection of authorities in the field, it provides invaluable advice on their diagnosis, patient care, and new treatments that are available.
This new edition of the definitive reference text on the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses will prove useful for clinicians, family physicians, research scientists, diagnostic laboratories, families affected by the disease as well as by workers in industry planning translational research.

Dr Sara Mole read Natural Sciences at Cambridge before a PhD in Biochemistry at Imperial College of Science and Technology London. She then undertook postdoctoral research in molecular biology then molecular genetics, always with a link to disease. She has focused on Batten disease at University College London since 1992, contributing to the identification of the first genes and then their functional biology. In 1998 she launched the Mutation Database, which was later expanded into the web site NCL Resource to additionally provide a global gateway for Batten disease. In 1998 she co-edited a monograph on Batten disease that is the forerunner to this much expanded edition.
Dr Ruth Williams studied medicine at The University of Nottingham, graduating in 1985. She trained in Paediatrics and in Paediatric Neurology before taking up her current post as a Consultant Paediatric Neurologist at the Evelina Children's Hospital in 2003. As part of her training she undertook a period of research into the genetic basis of the NCLs and obtained her doctorate in 1996. Her special interests include the diagnosis and management of childhood epilepsies and the NCLs.
Prof. Hans H. Goebel is a neuropathologist who received his specialty education in neuropathology at New York University and in the Indiana University Medical Center in Indianapolis/USA. There he applied the technique of electron microscopy to innumerable biopsied and autopsied human tissues affected by neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) and other lysosomal and neurodegenerative diseases. He has written numerous articles and book chapters on the neuropathology and especially the ultrastructure of the NCLs. In 1999 he edited a monograph on NCL which grew out of a Concerted Action of the European Union concerning the NCL.

The continuous monitoring program involves measurement of physical and chemical characteristics of water at selected sites using instruments that operate continuously and record data at frequent intervals (e.g., hourly). Constituents measured include water temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, pH, and turbidity. Water quality is measured continuously at seven stations using YSI 6-series environmentalmonitoring systems, including sondes and 650 Multi-parameter Display System (650 MDS) microcomputers. Each sonde measures water temperature, specific conductance, DO, pH, and optical turbidity, and is interfaced with a data logger for on-site data storage. Data are transferred at two-hour intervals to a server, which uploads data in raw form to an FTP site from which performance is monitored on a daily basis. Malfunctions of probes and sensors can be identified through review of trend charts maintained on the World Wide Web site. River stage is monitored by USGS at four gauging stations located within the Portneuf Basin.
We are measuring river stage at three of the monitoring sites (Portneuf River at Edson Fichter and at Batise Road, Marsh Creek below Walker Creek).In order to maintain this system, technical staff visit the monitoring stations, verify operation of instruments, and replace probes as needed with freshly-calibrated units.

Hannibal 3.04 "Apertivo"
Reviews, TV
Spoiler Shields up. This is going to be a detailed and spoiler-filled recap with critical commentary. Check it out after you've watched the episode and see if there's anything I missed. Or anything you missed.
An apertivo is both the ritual of going out for a pre-dinner drink and also the type of drink one might have. "Apertivo" is derived from the Latin for "to open" and recalls the experience of something appetizing — something that encourages your hunger, preparing you for the upcoming meal. Not only is this episode of Hannibal a gathering of friends and associates, it is also a whetting of the appetite for what is to come next. And what comes next is the hunt for Dr. Hannibal Lecter.
After spending the first three episodes of the season essentially ignoring the Season Two finale in order to casually spend time and energy exploring what Hannibal, Bedelia, and, last episode, Will, have been up to, "Apertivo" returns us to the violent near-deaths of all of our other main characters. First up is the thread that ties these introductions together structurally, Dr. Frederick Chilton (Raúl Esparza).
It should come as no surprise that Chilton survived the Manchurian Candidate assassination attempt Hannibal sent his way in the form of long-lost Miriam Lass. The gun's retort rolls like a thunderclap as the bullet tears into Chilton's cheek in slow-motion and bursts out the back of his head in an explosion of gore. But as we open our story here, Chilton is alive, if not well, and meeting with another survivor of Hannibal's wrath: Mason Verger (recently recast as Joe Anderson, who makes a valiant effort at retaining the flourish that Michael Pitt brought to the character last season — luckily his facial deformities allow the transition to go smoother than it might otherwise have).
Before Mason will discuss anything with Chilton, though, he playfully demands that they expose their true faces to one another in what will be the first of many unmaskings this episode. Mason removes his ceramic mask to reveal the result of massive amounts of money and plastic surgery, and unfortunately the end result isn't nearly as scary as Gary Oldman's make-up job in the film Hannibal. If I were an ungenerous sort, I'd compare the look to Jim Carrey's Fire Marshall Bill.
While this is actually more believable than Oldman's nightmarish result, given what unlimited money could actually do with regards to reconstructive surgery, it's still a disappointment for this reviewer.
Chilton's reveal is much more satisfying, as he removes a contact lens to reveal a blind, milky eye, wipes away makeup covering the still gaping bullet hole in his cheek, and then removes the denture plate that is apparently keeping the entire left side of his face supported. Naked, he is much more disturbing than Mason, sagging, slurring, and half-blind. It's no wonder he burns to get Hannibal into his "care" at the hospital.
However, once they are face-to-face, Chilton realizes that the million dollar reward Mason has offered around the world for information about the location of Hannibal has nothing to do with capture and incarceration, but is instead all about revenge, exclaiming, "You don't want a therapist. You want a profiler!"
As Mason replies that he wants to understand Hannibal to better understand himself, Chilton will have none of it, declaring that understanding what it meant to survive Hannibal is what is important. To which Mason scoffs, that he didn't survive. "This is exactly how he intended me to live." At least he's not a paraplegic, as he is in Hannibal the film.
Interestingly enough, as we already know that the back half of the season will be Fuller's adaptation of Red Dragon (finally), in the background of this scene we get a glimpse of our first taste of William Blake's artwork and imagery. On the wall to the right of Mason's bed is Blake's painting "Ancient of Days" which captures a demiurge, Urizen, crouching with a compass, separating the order of the material world from the chaos that preceded creation, in Blake's opinion, a "sublime error" leading to the "reduction of the infinite" and "the destruction of imagination" (hat tip to the Glasgow University Library Special Collections Department website for more insight into both the image and the work for which it served as a frontispiece, Europe: a Prophecy – 1794).
This stripping away of chaos and providing order is symbolic of what Hannibal has done to Mason, as he makes plain later in the episode, co-opting the language of religion, claiming to have been reborn in the eyes of Jesus with a renewed purity of focus and intent. But more on that later.
Chilton is dismissed as unsuitable for Mason's needs, and we next flashback to Will receiving his 'smile' from Hannibal – although interestingly enough, our initial vantage point is from inside Will as the knife thrusts in, allowing in the light of the outside world before slashing across. It's a flashy transition, but doesn't seem to serve any further purpose thematically as we return to the familiar shot of Hannibal cradling Will and stroking his hair as he bleeds out. Will then wakes up in the hospital as we saw in "Primavera" and it turns out his vision of Abigail's visit was triggered by the actual visit of Dr. Chilton (explaining the mystery of why the doctor who gives Will a drink introduced what turned out to be a hallucination).
With Will, Chilton attempts to establish a bond of similarity; they were both "suckers" who were "framed and maimed" by Lecter. Together, they can find Hannibal, capture him, and put him in a cage at the hospital, but as with Mason, Chilton is not connecting with Will. He doesn't understand what Will wants and misplays his hand. When Will also rejects him, Chilton's true personality emerges and he practically snarls that Will's world is collapsed and he's not going to get a better opportunity to make it right again.
The next scene transition spirals along Will's psychic trajectory, as he dreams of his last dinner with Hannibal and Jack, which turns into a bloodbath as he betrays Jack, holding him while Hannibal cuts his throat. It's a very literal interpretation of the guilt that Will feels about what happened in the finale, and the scene quickly shifts to Will working in his garage, welding and rebuilding a boat engine as Jack arrives.
On the surface, Jack says he's there to make sure that Will sticks to the story they created about what happened that night at Hannibal's house, but in reality he's there to ask another question entirely: Why did Will call Hannibal and warn him?
With his back to Jack, Will admits that he hadn't decided to tell Hannibal when he called. "I just called him," he says. "I deliberated while the phone rang. I decided when I heard his voice." Jack looks stunned and betrayed: "You told him we knew."
"I told him to leave. I wanted him to run." Why? Because Hannibal was his friend and he wanted to run away with him.
Fuller and company have a history of obfuscating the story in order to lead the viewers into a false sense of understanding, only going back later to fill in holes and details withheld (particularly during Season Two's revisitings of Will's Season One experiences of lost time), so it would not be unheard of for this to be a moment where Will is explicitly lying to Jack in order to push him away and keep him safe, knowing he will be off on a Hannibal hunt sometime in the future. By keeping his back to Jack, it ensures he can give nothing away to the detective, but I don't really think that's what's happening here. I think this is another moment of a character's true face being revealed. Will's revelation to Jack is an attempt to be honest and to make it clear that they shouldn't interact again.
Our next scene shift takes us back to Dr. Alana Bloom's descent from Hannibal's window (again in slow motion), flying backwards into the air in a cloud of glass shards and rain. We immediately cut to a shot from below for an x-ray image of Alana's pelvis shattering as she smashes into the ground. When next we see her, she is in an extremely stylized recovery room — something seemingly inspired more by Lynch or Cronenberg than real hospital décor – immobilized on a table with a halo of seven steel rods piercing her pelvis, holding her in place.
This is the next stop on Chilton's failed recruitment tour; only he's not so nice this time, blaming Alana for her own situation without hesitation. Not surprisingly, she doesn't buy into his plans either. As is pointed out in an excellent review by Psycho Drive-In contributor Laura Akers over on Den of Geek, the Alana we get here, after her accident is a very different Alana from what we've seen over the previous two seasons. While I agree that the way we get this new Alana (a lot of bone marrow got into her bloodstream after the accident, and she thinks differently now – which is about as accurate a reference to what's called Fat Embolism syndrome as Georgia Madchen's Cotard's Syndrome was back in Season One) is a shortcut, I still approve of the end result.
This new Alana is a revenge machine, modeled somewhat on Hannibal himself. Once she's out and about in her wheelchair, the first thing she does is return to Hannibal's house to revisit the scene of her rebirth. But she's not the only one there, revisiting the past; Will is already there, being creepier than he has any right to. Before she sees him though, she hears a voice, whispered, accented, say "You were so afraid of me, the last time I saw you. Before the last time I saw you…" Then she wheels around the corner to find Will sitting in the floor alone. That bit of dialogue wasn't a callback to the Season Two finale. Was that Will, channeling Hannibal? Was Alana not supposed to hear that?
They both act as though nothing happened and Will, in his completely normal voice, says he's there to visit old friends. And when Alana asks if he wouldn't rather forget them, he says, "I don't want to forget. I'm building rooms in my memory palace for all my friends." Then we get one of the most important exchanges of the night:
"Friendship with Hannibal," says Alana, "is blackmail elevated to the level of love."
To which Will responds, "A mutually unspoken pact to ignore the worst in one another in order to continue enjoying the best."
If that's not a solid definition of love, I don't know what is.
The next stop on Alana's voyage is the Verger Estate, interviewing for the "therapist" position that Chilton was rejected for earlier. However, before Alana meets with Mason, she crosses paths with Margot (Katharine Isabelle) and sparks fly before she's even out of the car. She spots Margot riding (in slow motion) and gets a funny look in her eye, then as she's getting out of her car (in slow motion), Margot gets a similar funny look. And if you weren't sure what was going on there, how about this dialogue: "I wasn't sure this was my entrance," Alana says. "It can be your entrance. It's not easy to find the first time you come," replies Margot.
Not enough evidence for a mutual attraction for you? Then how about Bryan Fuller tweeting this:
Alana's meeting with Mason, while substituting sexual tension for condescending sexual innuendo, goes better than it has any right to, with Mason playing his Jesus card, but Alana seeing right through him, dismissing his supposed "forgiveness" of Hannibal as "not what it's cracked up to be" and declaring that she doesn't "need religion to appreciate the idea of Old Testament revenge" before the camera moves in close and she cracks a deadly smirk. And with that, Mason has found his profiler and Alana has taken on a quest for vengeance.
With Alana situated on Mason's payroll, the episode shifts back around to Jack in what is simply the most heartbreaking segment in the history of the series. We are immediately back to Jack in the pantry at Hannibal's house, with Hannibal leaping at the door, trying to burst it open. Inside the pantry, Jack's blood spray plays in reverse (and in slow motion), echoing a similar scene in the finale, but here we follow the droplets up into the darkness of the ceiling, where they glitter like stars before the scene fades to black.
Then Jack wakes up next to Bella at the hospital, the first words out of his mouth, "Did I die?" He is convinced that he died, as he explained to Pazzi last episode, and then Bella suggests that he do what she can't, and cut out what's killing him. This leads us to a scene of Jack packing up his office while Chilton tries to convince him that they need to pursue Hannibal, or at least keep an eye on Will, who most likely will be pursuing Hannibal.
As with Mason and Alana, Jack rejects Chilton and counters his charge that he's lost focus with the fact that he is now refocused… on taking care of Bella.
The next scene opens with Jack noticing that Bella's breathing is labored. He gets up from his chair, crosses over, sits next to her on the bed and lays his head on her chest, listening to her heartbeat. It's one of the most honest and tender acts I've ever seen on television. He takes her hand in his, kisses it, then goes to get her medicine. He takes a small bottle of liquid over to her IV and in the patented Hannibal style we cut close on the meds being drawn into the syringe, close on the needle entering the IV port, then a lovely tight shot of the meds injecting into the fluids already in the IV bag.
Then Jack gets into bed next to Bella and holds her, rests his head on hers, and cries as she die in his arms.
It seems fairly obvious to me that Jack just helped Bella cross over, but opinion in mixed.
We then cut to a shot of her empty bed with Jack looking on. Bella appears, choosing a white dress that Jack approves of whole-heartedly. But it's really Alana there, helping Jack prepare for the funeral. Jack looks out the window and declares, "Bella's dead. That should change the view from these windows. It's not right if the view stays the same. It's not right."
The words are simple, but they speak volumes. The loss of someone so important to your world is a devastating thing. Your emotional world is thrust into turmoil and quite literally collapses. On the inside. Out there, outside the window, the world keeps turning, oblivious to our pain and suffering. It's not right. Not right at all.
What comes next is almost too painful to watch. It's a montage that echoes the one at the end of "Primavera," but this time rather than cut between the machinery of life and death, it cuts back and forth between the social preparations involved with death; Jack getting dressed in his suit, Bella being prepared in her white dress. This then flashes back to a different white dress: Bella's wedding dress. In the past, Jack moves in to kiss her, smiling; in the present he kisses her forehead as she lies in the casket.
And then we are drawn back into the world of the show, as Jack realizes that Hannibal has sent flowers and a card.
In a scene taken straight from Thomas Harris's The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal has sent a card featuring an excerpt from John Donne's poem "A Fever": "O wrangling schools, that search what fire / Shall burn this world, had none the wit / Unto this knowledge to aspire, / That this her feaver might be it?" This is followed by, "I'm so sorry about Bella, Jack."
The irony here is that Hannibal is expressing the exact same feeling that Jack did earlier. When Jack decried that fact that the world hadn't changed, it echoes the sentiment of Donne's poem. In "A Fever" the death of the woman about whom the poem was written is an apocalyptic event, unbalancing the world. Whether it's cruel taunting or an actual heartfelt sentiment, Hannibal has tapped perfectly into the emotions Jack is feeling at this very moment.
As if on cue, Jack's reading of this note signals the arrival of Will — apparently the only other person to attend Bella's funeral. With Bella gone now, Jack is able to return some attention to Will and asks that he not do whatever he's planning. "You don't have to die on me too," he says as he gets up to leave Will to contemplate Hannibal's note.
This brings us to the final moments of the episode. First we focus on Mason receiving massage therapy by a character we know from the film, Hannibal: Cordell (Boardwalk Empire and True Detective's Glenn Fleshler). In the film, Dr. Cordell Doemling is Mason's caretaker who ultimately turns on Mason at a critical moment, but here appears to be staged as someone ready to do whatever he needs to in order to meet Mason's needs. In this case, it's to begin setting into motion a plan to capture Hannibal and eat him alive.
In an odd creative choice, we move directly into a flashback for Mason. It's out of place narratively and thematically, given that we already know that his "born again" schtick is just that. So for some reason we are now shown his actual facial reconstruction, complete with horrific absence of nose, lips, and cheeks, along with disturbing skin peels and grafts to give him that television-acceptable burn-victim look discussed earlier. After his unbandaging, he picks up a mirror, checks himself out and declares himself "Good as new."
In case you were wondering where his head's at.
While the scene seemed fairly unnecessary, at least it provides us with an opportunity to listen to an unreleased track by series composer Brian Reitzell:
The final two scenes center around Alana. In the first, she plays the Clarice role in Hannibal (book and film), figuring out that Hannibal will be discovered due to his tastes, and Europe aligns with those tastes. So with a general area of interest and an idea about how to start narrowing down their search, the Alana and Mason show have the in they've been looking for. Although it seems circulating a picture of Hannibal would speed up the process…
Then Alana shows up at Will's house, apparently recruited to dogsit again. Jack arrives only to learn that Will has left on his Hannibal-Quest. The odd part is that Alana shares this knowledge by saying that Will "knows what he has to do," and then puts Jack on the spot, asking "Do you?"
This raises the question, did Will establish a plan of action with Alana before leaving? Clearly he was in touch; she's taking care of his dogs. Jack doesn't know what's going on at this point, apparently, so his arrival in Palermo is either him playing the actual role of concerned friend, or he's doing everything he can to help provide support without giving away some master plan.
In the meantime, Will closes out this episode by sailing away. To Europe? It's a lovely poetic moment to go out on as we connect the dots and bring all of our cast of characters up to date, but I have to admit, the initial image made it seem like Will sailed away across the ocean. That's probably not what happened, right?
Overall, this episode was pretty solid; the script by Nick Antosca, Fuller, and Steve Lightfoot, did what needed to be done and maintained the tone of the season so far without sliding into the excessive symbolism and near-surrealism of the first three episodes. Director Marc Jobst does a nice job maintaining the overall feel of the series, but he lacks the firm visual hand that Natali demonstrated in his episodes.
But given a lot of the audience reaction, maybe that's for the best. Having some clearly delineated plot movement along with answers about just what happened to our main characters after the bloodbath at Hannibal's last season is exactly what many viewers were looking for. Personally, I found this episode to be satisfying, but lacking in comparison with the other episodes so far this season. And while that sounds like damning praise, "Apertivo" was still the single best piece of film on television this week.
When the weakest episode of you season is still the best thing on television, you're doing something right.

Lost in Translation 389: Remaking The Starlost (1973)
Had never heard of this, reminds me of an episode of Space: 1999.


O3b Networks, Limited (O3b) is a global satellite service provider operating a constellation of Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites, servicing telecommunications operators, Internet service providers and enterprise and government customers in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific. O3b is short for the "other 3 billion" people that do not have ready access to the Internet. Due to its close proximity to earth at 8,000 km above the earth versus geostationary orbit at approximately 36,000km, O3b's system combines the global reach of satellite with the speed of a fibre-optic network to provide low-cost, low-latency (the amount of time taken for information to be sent from one location to another), high-throughput internet and mobile connectivity to its customers.
Watch the video: What is O3b?
O3b is head quartered in St. Helier, Jersey with an operational head office in The Hague, Netherlands. As of August 1st, 2016, O3b Networks, Ltd. operates as a subsidiary of satellite operator SES, S.A.
Till 2018 O3b operates a constellation of 16 MEO Ka-band High Throughput Satellites (HTS), each capable of 1.6 Gigabits per second (Gbps) with a latency of less than 150 milliseconds. The constellation entered commercial operations in September 2014, and Thales Alenia Space is currently building a follow-on series of eight more spacecraft. O3b's revenue for 2015 came 70% from enterprise customers, 24% from mobility customers and 6% from government customers.
The network combines the relatively large reach of satellite with high speed and medium latency (the amount of time taken for information to be sent from one location to another) to deliver satellite Internet services and mobile backhaul services to emerging markets.
After initially planning to launch in 2010, the first four satellites were launched on June 25th, 2013 on a Soyuz launch vehicle of launch operator Arianespace. A further four satellites were launched in July 2014, and another four in December 2014, all by an Arianespace Soyuz rocket. Four more were launched in March 2018 and the remaining four are scheduled for launch in 2019, bringing the constellation to 20 satellites, including the three current satellites which will be used as in-orbit backup.
In September 2017, SES announced the next generation of O3b satellites (mPower-series) and placed an order for an initial seven from satellite manufacturer Boeing Commercial Satellite Services (BCSS). Expected to launch in 2021, the O3b mPower constellation of MEO satellites for broadband Internet services will "be able to deliver anywhere from hundreds of megabits to 10 gigabits to any ship at sea" through 30,000 spot beams. Software-defined routing will direct traffic between the mPower MEO satellites and SES' geostationary fleet.
The company was founded in 2007 by former Google executive and satellite-industry veteran, Gregory Thane Wyler. O3b was financially backed by SES, Google, HSBC, Liberty Global, Allen & Company, Northbridge Venture Partners, Soroof International, Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), Sofina and Satya Capital.
In the mid-2000's, Greg Wyler was in Africa trying to determine how to bring people better Internet access. In 2003 he was working with RwandaTel building up a local team and connected over 200 schools to the Internet, providing Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) with a 3G network centered principally in Rwanda. Wyler took then 99% control of Rwandatel through his communication firm Terracom that was sold to the Rwanda Government in 2006 of 12 million USD.
The challenge of overcoming infrastructure limitations led to the idea of O3b Networks. Wyler landed on bringing satellites closer to the Earth as the solution for this problem, and designed a system that would quickly bring high throughput capacity to telecom headends using Ka-band spectrum. He embarked on creating the MEO system aimed at connecting the "Other 3 Billion", the number of people living without Internet access at the time of founding. The Great Recession threatened to derail the startup, but the O3b team managed to get the funding necessary to progress.
In November 2010, the company raised a total of 1.2 billion USD from a group of investors and banks to fully finance the construction of its satellites. The funding was sourced from a diverse mix of investors, including strategic shareholders, commercial banks and developmental finance institutions, including the DBSA.
In 2011 Mark Rigolle, former Chief Finance Officer of SES and O3b CEO since 2010, returned to SES. In his place, Steve Collar joined from SES World Skies where he had served as Senior Vice President of Business and Market Development and was formerly an O3b board member representin SES' interests. This change marks the 5thCEO for O3b in three years. In July 2017 Rigolle was requested to lead start-up US-based LeoSat when this company established its first European office in The Hague in The Netherlands .
In July 2014, SES subsidiary SES Government Solutions (SES GS) received approval to offer O3b services to the US Government. Later on, in August 2016, SES GS supported the US Department of Defense with O3b Networks high throughput, low latency satellite communications solutions.
In November 2014, MS Oasis of the Seas which is the world's largest cruise ship carrying 8,000 passengers and crew, became the first cruise ship to provide fast Internet to guests through O3b Networks. The service has been rolled out to every ship of the Royal Caribbean International fleet.

In August 2015, SES GS agreed a one-year contract with US government scientific agency, NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) to supply O3b services and ground equipment to the National Weather Service Office in American Samoa, which will expand NOAA's broadband connectivity outside the continental US to provide weather, water, and climate data and forecasts and warnings to American Samoa.
In August 2015 O3b Networks ordered more satellites and new antennas to bolster its Ka-band High Throughput Satellite (HTS) network in the near future. The company also intends to increase its capacity in space in the near future. In addition to new satellites, new antenna systems are also under development; a land transportable antenna system developed by mobile antenna manufacturer AVL Technologies, Inc.
In March 2016 SES made a 20 million USD investment in O3b, increasing SES' ownership from 49.1% to 50.5% resulting in further collaborative satellite services between SES' GEO satellites and the O3b constellation. In May 2016 SES invested another 710 million USD to acquire all shares taking full ownership of O3b Networks.
Also in March 2016 O3b was recognized as Satellite Operator of the Year in the 2015.
SES placed an order in 2017 with satellite manufacturer Boeing Commercial Satellite Services (BCSS) for seven 2nd-generation satellites for a constellation called O3b mPower, designed to deliver 10 terabits of throughput. O3b mPower-series of satellites are scheduled for launch in 2021.
In March 2018 four satellites were launched by Arianespace on a Soyuz launch vehicle and are part of an eight-satellite order O3b Networks placed with satellite manufacturer Thales Alenia Space, prior to SES ownership. The other four satellites will be launched in 2019 on another Arianespace Soyuz launch vehicle.

In September 2008 satellite launch operator Sea Launch signed a launch services agreement with O3b Networks for up to two launches of O3b's MEO satellite constellation scheduled in 2010. The O3b satellites will be deployed by Sea Launch's Zenit-3SL system in groups of eight per launch. Sea Launch is developing a new multi-spacecraft dispenser for these missions, which will accommodate O3b Networks' specific orbital insertion requirements.
In 2009 Sea Launch filled for bankruptcy and was not able to meet its contractual obligations. In March 2010 O3b Networks cancelled the launch contract with Sea Launch and switched to Arianespace to launch the satellites on Soyuz rockets from the Kourou launch site in French Guiana at the time, the first launch was apparently planned in 2012.
O3b's first four satellites (FM1, FM2, FM4 & FM5) were launched on a Soyuz-2/Fregat-MT rocket by launch operator Arianespace on June 25th, 2013 and are currently in orbit and functioning properly. After discovering a hardware defect in the initial satellites, O3b postponed the planned September 2013 launch of four additional satellites so repairs could be made.
