Home Investigations NEO: What Will Take the Place of America?
NEO: What Will Take the Place of America?
by Phil Butler, …and New Eastern Outlook, Moscow
The dog and pony show that is US leadership is an ongoing embarrassment for millions of American brought up to believe in excellence. Big talk, never-ending controversy, and mudslinging, and disastrous decisions on a daily basis have made a mockery of freedom and democracy.
Trump-Russia, propaganda, and the rewriting history and truth are bigger threats than terrorism. Here's another brief look at the mayhem from Washington. Here's some food for those who think.
Investigative genius Gordon Duff wrote recently about the psychopathic killer, former Vice-President Dick Cheney in a piece about the indecency of Washington. Discussing a new film called "V-I-C-E," which fries Cheney on the spit like a big fat hen, Duff encapsulates what mucky slime our nation's capital is infested with the following passage:
"Cheney may well have been or well may still be the most powerful leader in America's history, a history that is rocked with failure upon failure, an end to American power, an end to American honor, such as it is or was, an America whose cohesion at home and reputation around the world may well be irreparable."
Duff's scathing commentary of Dick Cheney goes on, and on, clinically dissecting for us the notion that the Washington elites are anything but rogues. But Duff does not go far enough in my opinion. In my view, bums like Dick Cheney walking into the halls of power has less to do with their "butt kissing," as Duff puts it, and a lot more to do with the real power brokers standing behind.
Sure, the banker elites like their rear-ends being smacked by corruptible minions like Cheney, but their "mission" goes beyond such narcissism. Cheney, Trump, the Clintons, whoever you choose to name, they're all in town for the same purpose, to perpetuate the game and to line the pockets of the western world elite. Sorry to harp on the same theme, but it's the only theme. Returning to Duff's report, we find:
"There is a process some call "normalization," wherein the worst possible human beings, when placed in the public eye, bumbling fools, criminal sociopaths, simply wear out the public's ability to deal with disaster and insanity."
Let's be clear here, Washington is not about the tail wagging the dog, as is often surmised. "The dog," is in fact, wagging his tail and grinning with sharp canines as he laps up the feast. While we watch the Super Bowl or snap on the TV to see Trump and Putin looking all chummy, a pack of grinning ravenous wolves sink their teeth into our legacy – the wealth of the world is being devoured during the 11 o'clock news hour.
Scum like Dick Cheney or Bill Gates even, they're cultivated and set in place, as pawns willing to do anything after their pack with the Devil. Such people do exist, and everyone reading this knows it. Gordon Duff drills this in bedrock, and I want to slip the TNT in, as should you.
America is all but done. In fact, the dream that most of us Baby Boomers dreamed is a vapor now. Everything we were taught about decency and excellence has all but evaporated. From athletics to zoology no facet of daily life in the western world has been unaffected by the "Cheneys" or the "Clintons" – the foul protectorate of Rothschild trillions and Carlyle Group investments have played their roles well.
"The Devil," if I go so far, has all but won the battle for Earth. Duff cites Edward Wolf, Professor of Economics at NYU and the decline of the American middle class. But Gordon is a practical man.
This Economic Innovation Group report agrees with the former US Marine's assessment on the basis of endangered or lost potential. The report concludes:
"In concrete terms, the American Dream can be summed up as a two-fold promise of prosperity and mobility. Neither is in good health."
These fine academians pretty much proclaim the southeastern United States as a fallout zone of inequality and useless economic potential for America's youth. But I would take their statistical analysis to another level to predict the dismal legacy our grandfather's intended for our grandchildren.
The problem with the EIG study is that they harbor some sweet little intellectual hope that all is not lost. Looking at their maps and charts from a more realistic and perspective, what these researchers are showing is yet another rationalization.
The maps of economic possibility, or counties that are "both prosperous and advantageous for poor kids," remind me of one of the Mad Max movies where we humans must migrate to a "safe zone" beyond Thunderdome. You see, even in our goodness and positiveness, we betray excellence and the extraordinary goals the Boomer Generation grew up with.
Now, President Donald Trump is allegedly trying to build a Great Wall of America, and the biggest government in the world is closed down. During his tenure Climate Change has become a hoax again, big business is unbridled, the war machine more profitable than ever, and all our dreams of a unified and peaceful world are gone. At this point, let's take stock of where exactly the Dick Cheneys of the world have delivered us.
Of the 35 richest countries in the world, America now has the highest infant mortality rate and the lowest life expectancy.
The elites in American society have tripled their incomes in the last two decades, while middle-class incomes remained the same.
Our children's chances of earning more than us is a 50-50 proposition instead of the veritable certainty of past decades.
The moral core of America has disintegrated into a kind of liberal inquisition. That "compass" Obama's people pressed out; it points to hell.
The social sphere that now dominates America is degenerate, illiterate, and opposed to anything outside the "new ethics" of society.
America excels in only three realms today. Despite decades of goodwill intentions, the United States harbors the evil of racism. In America, the evil of poverty is growing despite rumors to the contrary.
And we excel as never before in presenting the evil of war as a common good to protect our alleged security. Interestingly, these three "evils" were what Dr. Martin Luther King saw as the great wrongs of humanity. And herein lies my point.
Unless we are able to examine the facts and opinions of patriots like Gordon Duff until we are capable of expanding on such ideas or revelations, we're doomed to witness the utter destruction of all the "right" we sought to achieve. Dr. King and hundreds of others with insight tried to lead us out of the darkness, but the Cheneys and their benefactors work more diligently, I think.
Gordon's Dick Cheney illumination points us to the unmistakable truth that natural evils are different from manufactured variety Cheney represents. Our "state of affairs" today is a moralistic nightmare, not one created from natural catastrophes. Read The Concept of Evil, and you will understand what I mean here. After reading, you may come to the same conclusion as me, that America has disintegrated into a state of moral horror.
I am adherent of Emmanual Kant's concern about the nature of human beings. The philosopher worried over three apparently conflicting truths about human nature: about our being radically free, that we seem by nature inclined toward goodness, and that by nature inclined toward evil.
However, where Kant seemed confused and at odds with human nature, I believe the "radicalness" of freedom, for instance, creates the evil we speak of when we talk about people like Dick Cheney. In short, the elites who run this world leverage this freedom in order to produce the evil ends they desire.
This is why we have the neo-liberal crazies trying to burn the rest of us at the stake. This is also why we have the far-right populists ready to create a new Hitler. What Kant wrestled with, it's tearing America and the rest of the world apart. And it is from within this maelstrom that the Rothschilds and their cabal seize "more" power.
Soon, I fear, they will become the "only" power. That is unless Vladimir Putin and opposing forces are able to withstand the onslaught. Make no mistake, America is already done. The only question and concern for me and mine is, "What will take its place?"

Let the idiots come out of the 'net woodwork like termites spouting Fox News propaganda as even VT has it's share of domestic enemies from the cloud over Tel Aviv.
Where I live I see mile after mile of prosperity with new cars and trucks everywhere and bars and restaurants full of people having a good time.
I see even McDonalds with 11 dollars an hour on big signs and gas at two dollars a gallon or less.
Food is abundant and affordable including organic's and if inclined one can make really healthy choices and live quite well however, I can not control what stupid people do.
Or what stupid people put into their heads.
Mr. Butler,
You are not going to like what I have to say here.
For starters are you not an ex-pat?
If so you have no say. Mr. Duff lives here at least when he writes of America and why does he do so as I believe he loves the place in spite of its huge problems.
I am retired now and regularly invest in my children as I draw down my 401 k to help them with education costs and my youngest draws on my insurance under that great evil as you would call it Obama care to age 26 as did the GOP do anything for anyone recently?
I refuse to throw in the towel while on this side of the dirt as you can do so but I shall despise you as a coward…
Just an opinion.

L'uretere. Malattie e sintomi
Saverio Pagano
editore: Springer Verlag
L'uretere è un organo deputato unicamente al collegamento tra il rene e la vescica. Per la delicatezza della sua struttura anatomica e per la sua estensione in lunghezza che ne condiziona complessi rapporti anatomici con molti altri organi, detiene una fragilità intrinseca alla patologia propria, offre scarsa difesa al coinvolgimento da parte delle patologie di organi vicini ed è predisponibile ai traumi chirurgici ed endoscopici. Nella pratica clinica, queste caratteristiche vengono spesso sottovalutate, esponendo l'organo a pericolose sequele. Inoltre, lo sviluppo e la diffusione delle tecniche endourologiche, se da un lato rappresentano un brillante esempio di chirurgia mininvasiva, dall'altro hanno aumentato le possibilità di danno iatrogeno in corso o successivo alle manovre stesse. La monografia, dopo gli indispensabili capitoli sull'embriologia, l'anatomia, la fisiologia e la fisiopatologia dell'organo, offre la trattazione sistematica della patologia ureterale, per la prima volta affrontata "dal punto di vista dell'uretere". Il volume sarà dunque un utile strumento di lavoro per urologi, ginecologi, chirurghi generali, pediatrici e vascolari nella loro attività quotidiana.

Q: Глубина рекурсии на вычисление оптимального сбора кубика Рубика Какой глубины рекурсии, в теории, достаточно для вычисления оптимального пути сбора Кубика Рубика?
Конечно, для его сбора существуют специальные алгоритмы и все такое. Но хотелось бы знать, чисто перебором всех возможных операций над кубиком каковой глубины рекурсии будет достаточно для его сбора? К примеру, допустить существование 17-20 ходового пути.
A: На Википедии написано:

Наконец в августе 2010 года группа под
руководством профессора Морли
Дэвидсона сообщила, что, используя
свободное от обработки поисковых
запросов машинное время одного из
суперкомпьютеров Google Inc., им
удалось доказать, что из любого
положения кубик Рубика можно собрать
не более, чем за 20 ходов. Однако
этот результат пока ещё не проверен.

Поэтому глубина рекурсии, скорее всего, не превосходит 20-ти, и в худшем случая она достигается.

A: Взять один из оптимальных алгоритмов и посчитать его худший случай, благо размер входных данных известен.

Asti es el hogar de una antigua comunidad judía, una de las más importantes de la región de Piamonte, hoy una sección de la comunidad judía de Turín .

Historia

Una primera documentación de la presencia judía en Asti se remonta al 812, pero fue la expulsión de judíos de España, Provenza y el Valle del Rin a partir del siglo XIV lo que supuso un aumento significativo de la población judía en Asti, Moncalvo y Fossano. Estos grupos tenían el mismo ritual litúrgico (una combinación de rituales ashkenazi y del francés antiguo) y hablaban un dialecto hebreo-piamontés.

Los judíos se dedicaron inicialmente al curtido de pieles y al teñido de tejidos, oficios que en la Edad Media se consideraban impuros, casi en su totalidad prerrogativa de los ciudadanos más acosados. De hecho, veinte peleteros se encontraban en el territorio del asentamiento judío. Al tener prohibido poseer las propiedades, algunos judíos se dedicaron principalmente al crédito de empeño (en Asti, hasta hace algunas décadas, el banco Levi-Montalcini seguía activo).

En 1723, el estado de Saboya estableció el gueto: ningún judío podía residir fuera del recinto establecido.

El gueto estaba ubicado en el distrito de los Israelitas, antes del Cappellai (actual vía Aliberti) y además del San Bernardino (ahora vía Ottolenghi), donde todavía está presente la sinagoga del siglo XVIII, con su  muy interesante museo, rico en mobiliario. .

Los edificios del gueto todavía son claramente identificables en el distrito de San Secondo. La escasez de espacio edificable en el gueto llevó a los judíos a desarrollar las viviendas de forma subterránea y vertical, reduciendo el área de los patios. La casa de los Artom fue la primera casa del gueto, a la entrada del distrito de los Israelitas. Sus ventanas daban a la Piazza San Secondo y al Palazzo Comunale. La familia Artom, culpable de poseer las dos ventanas que asomaban al "exterior", hacia los "gentiles", fue obligado a realizar un fresco que representaba una "sagrada conversación", pintado por el pintor Giancarlo Aliberti (1662-1740), entre las dos ventanas, como compensación por el "privilegio" que se les concedió.

En 1791, con la llegada de los franceses, los judíos fueron considerados ciudadanos libres en todos los aspectos, y en 1797, las puertas del gueto fueron demolidas en Asti. En 1810 se inauguró el nuevo cementerio (en la actual via dei Martiri Israelitici) para reemplazar el antiguo Prato degli ebrei, que estaba ubicado entre la actual via Antica Zecca y via d'Azeglio.

Durante la Restauración, por un breve período (1815) se reiteraron las antiguas restricciones antijudías, pero con el Estatuto Albertino de 1848 se produjo la completa emancipación de la comunidad judía. Las familias judías más ricas compraron nuevas casas fuera del antiguo complejo, aunque este siguió siendo el vecindario de los judíos más desfavorecidos.

En este período había 267 judíos en Asti. Nace la primera carnicería kosher y la primera escuela judía de la ciudad (el Instituto Clava). En 1889 se remodelada la antigua sinagoga con la ampliación del Ezrat Nashim y de los ventanales.

Los judíos se integraron así en el tejido social de la sociedad decimonónica de Asti, baste recordar al senador Isacco Artom, que fue secretario de Camillo Benso, conde de Cavour, a los concejales municipales Zaccaria Ottolenghi (constructor y benefactor del Teatro Alfieri ) y Lazzaro Artom. En la actualidad, encontramos los apellidos de las familias De Benedetti, Clava, Treves, Levi-Montalcini, en el nombre de edificios y en muchas placas conmemorativas.

El siglo XX trajo la Segunda Guerra Mundial y las persecuciones nazi-fascistas que vaciaron el gueto deportando a sus habitantes. Sólo tres de los treinta deportados regresaron a Asti (una placa en el patio de la sinagoga recuerda los nombres de los deportados). Después de la liberación, los judíos de Asti, reducidos a un pequeño número, ya no pudieron reconstruir su comunidad, que hoy existe solo como una sección de la Comunidad judía de Turín.

Campaigners vow to keep fighting for Lincolnshire libraries
What's next for libraries?: Lincolnshire campaigners are reinforcing their commitment to keeping libraries open across the county.

Lincolnshire campaigners are reinforcing their commitment to keeping libraries open across the county.
The Save Lincolnshire Libraries group was formed in 2013 in response to Lincolnshire County Council's plans to drastically reduce library services.
The plans included the closure of 30 libraries across the county unless volunteers stepped forward to run them, the withdrawal of mobile services and to cut the opening hours of the remaining library facilities.
A judicial review quashed the council's plans in July 2014, describing them as flawed and failing to deal with a proposal by Greenwich Leisure Ltd (GLL) to take on the service.
In December 2014, Lincolnshire County Council accepted GLL's bid and began an ongoing procurement exercise for the provision of libraries.
Julie Harrison, spokesperson for SLL, said: "Save Lincolnshire Libraries' aim remains the same as it was when it started in June 2013 – to keep libraries open across Lincolnshire run by professional and paid staff, supported by volunteers.
"SLL will continue to campaign and work to ensure that this objective is achieved.
"Libraries are the foundation of learning and achievement. We have to fight to maintain this and that is what Save Lincolnshire Libraries will do.
"We want a modern library service, supported by investment, that will deliver now and in the future for everyone – and in particular for future generations of children."
Councillor Nick Worth, Executive Member for Culture and Heritage at Lincolnshire County Council, wrote in his Reflections column for The Lincolnite: "I accepted GLL's revised expression of interest as a valid challenge under the Localism Act. That means services are now likely to be put out to tender, which could result in the libraries being outsourced.
"However, before that happens, the Executive will need to decide what model of library service it wants to achieve. We expect that to happen in February. That decision will take into account all the feedback received during the consultation.
"Throughout the autumn, we have spent a lot of time keeping voluntary groups in the loop, answering their questions and providing training and support as requested.
"Once we know the future shape of the library service, we'll be able to give these groups greater clarity on how they might become involved with future services."


Cargotec has acquired the assets of a Swedish installation and service company Hallberg-Ivarsson Hydraulik & Påbyggnad AB. This acquisition is fully in line with Cargotec's strategy to move closer to its customers and invest in services.
Hallberg-Ivarsson Hydraulik & Påbyggnad AB, located in Gothenburg, Sweden, and owned by its Managing Director Jan Hallberg, is specialised in installation and services of on-road load handling equipment and heavy vehicles. The company has been a long-term installation and service provider for Cargotec's Hiab load handling equipment in the region. It employs three full-time and 2-3 temporary employees.
The transaction will be effective as of 1 January 2011 and includes the takeover of the company's business assets, customer contacts and employees. The business will be integrated into Cargotec's operations in Sweden. The parties have agreed not to disclose the transaction value.
In connection with the acquisition, the Hallberg-Ivarsson service and installation business will be moving to a new location and under the same roof with Cargotec's Service Centre for Kalmar and MacGregor solutions in Gothenburg. Managing Director Jan Hallberg will continue as head of the on-road load handling service team.
"Hallberg-Ivarsson has been a valued partner and service provider for Hiab products in the Gothenburg area. Through this acquisition we will move closer to customers and strengthen our position as a full-service provider. Our plan is to put even more resources into our Service Centre in Gothenburg, which will be the first one-stop service shop providing installations, repairs, maintenance and spare parts for cargo and load handling solutions in Sweden," says Leif Wallin, Area Director, North Europe, Cargotec.
"Joining forces with Cargotec offers better opportunities for growth and improved resources in sales, installation and services. This is something that our customers will clearly benefit from," says Jan Hallberg, Managing Director and owner of Hallberg-Ivarsson Hydraulik & Påbyggnad AB.

Q: How to manually attach a form field to manytomany model field in django? So this is my function in view:
def create_recipe(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
           form = RecipeForm(request.POST)
           if form.is_valid():
               current_user = request.user
               data = form.cleaned_data
               recipe_data=Recipe.objects.create(user=current_user, recipebase_id=data['recipebase_id'], title=data['title'], instructions=data['instructions'])
               recipe_data.save()
               return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('create_recipe'))
           else:
               messages.error(request, "Error")
    return render(request, 'create_recipe.html', {'form': RecipeForm })

and here is my form:
  class RecipeForm(forms.ModelForm):

        class Meta:
            model = Recipe
            fields = ('recipebase_id', 'title

', 'instructions')

and here is my model:
class Recipe(models.Model):

    user = models.ForeignKey('auth.User')
    recipebase_id = models.ManyToManyField(Recipebase)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=500)
    instructions = models.CharField(max_length=500)
    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

UPDATE
<form action="/create_recipe/" method="post">
{% csrf_token  %}

        <select id="id_{{ form.recipebase_id.name }}" name="{{ form.recipebase_id.name }}">
    {% for value, title in form.recipebase_id.field.choices %}

            <option value="{{ value }}">{{ title }}</option>

        {% endfor %}

          </select>

{{ form.title.label }}:
<input type="{{ form.title.type }}" name="{{ form.title.name }}" max_length="500" class="form-control" id="{{ form.title.id }}">

{{ form.instructions.label }}:
<input type="{{ form.instructions.type }}" name="{{ form.instructions.name }}" max_length="500" class="form-control" id="{{ form.instructions.id }}">

     <input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

When I submit the form, it throws recipebase_id is an invalid argument as:
'recipebase_id' is an invalid keyword argument for this function
It is understandable that it is a manytomany field so it doesnt quite fit like normal text field but I dont really understand which way to put it. Any suggestions?

A: In the view, you shouldn't save objects like that. You just do this

obj = form.save()

running the save method on a form creates and saves an object from that form.

A: you can add class to django form fields in template using django app "django-widget-tweaks" while rendering.
use it in django template to add classes (e.g. bootstrap classes)
e.g. below code adds form-control class to input html tag

     {% load widget_tweaks %}
     {% for field in form.visible_fields %}

        {{ field.label }}
       {% render_field field class="form-control" %}

    {%endfor%}

more info on its usage can be found here

This is my latest collage. I created it in April 2015.
I wanted to create this to include in the January 2015 Truth or Consequences art show I participated in, but I didn't have the right spinner. I found the right spinner at my favorite mega super thrift store. (It was from a How the Grinch Stole Christmas board game.) I found the Wheel of Fortune tarot card at the hospital thrift store in T or C. I removed the spinner from the card it came on, collaged the card, glued on the tarot card, then reattached the spinner. Then I glued on all the words I'd cut out of magazines and catalogs.


Things are 'swell' on the Oceanlady.
Today's report from Mathieu Ferron (FRA) says sea swell has required them to moderate their heading further to the East for a few hours.
But the forecast is for the sea conditions to ease over the coming hours, which will allow the crew to put more North in their heading, back on the direct route.
"Everything is in good shape," he writes... Less than 2500 nautical miles to go.
Design team co-ordinator Ian 'Fresh' Burns spent the Christmas holidays doing, what else, sailing. He co-navigated Wild Oats XI to a second place finish in the Sydney-Hobart race.
Although Wild Oats made a late charge, they couldn't catch Alfa Romeo, where BMW ORACLE Racing trimmer Noel 'Nitro' Drennan (IRL) was among the international crew who raced to a line honours victory.
It was a big win for Nitro as it came during his 25th Sydney-Hobart.
"Winning is definitely the nicest way to do it," he told team PR director Jane Eagleson (USA) afterwards. "And Fresh was on Wild Oats, so it was nice to beat him!!"
Drennan's first participation in the race came back in 1980, on a boat called Challenge, owned by Lou Abrahams. "We had a pretty good race that year (3rd) and Lou has now done the race 45 times, so that was nice start for me."
Perhaps that's where Nitro got his inspiration to reach the quarter century mark. Or maybe he just has a surplus of motivation - because no sooner had they crossed the finish line, than he was on a plane within a few hours to get to Melbourne to get racing in the A-Class championships.
Arriving at the yacht club by noon the next day, he posted a very respectable 10th and 18th out of 50 boats that same afternoon. "I even beat JK (John Kostecki) and Cheese (Dirk de Ridder), so that was fun. We had four or five days of training before Christmas with Glenn (Ashby) and that was very productive."
Design director Mike Drummond (NZL) and BOR 90 helmsman Jimmy Spithill (AUS) are also racing in the A-Class championships. But Spithill broke his mainsheet traveller in the first race and couldn't post a result on the first day.
The VLC component of the team is growing daily as we gear up for the 33rd America's Cup Match.
Below is a view from the balcony of the team base just after lunch, looking towards what was the media centre for the 32nd AC.
In the foreground are some of the RIBs used by the weather team.
Speaking of weather - it may be fairly overcast, but it's a gloriously warm day. Here's the BBC weather forecast for the VLC street circuit, the F1 track which winds it way along the front of the team bases during the Grand Prix.
While most on the team have had a chance to re-connect with family and friends over the holiday, that's not the case for two of our guys on board the Oceanlady.
Mathieu Feron (FRA) and Michel Mengardon (FRA) are the two members of the shore crew who have elected to accompany our precious cargo as it makes its way by sea from San Diego to Valencia.
But that's not to say they didn't celebrate Christmas. Matt has sent in this picture of Christmas dinner - roast pig, cooked on a home-made BBQ. And you can see the Christmas tree in the background.
No doubt some of our Kiwi team members can appreciate the BBQ element of the celebration! The crew of many nationalities shared the common bond of family, and all toasted absent family and friends over dinner.
Meanwhile, the Oceanlady continues to steam towards Valencia at speeds near 18 knots, with the America's Cup Match just a shade over six weeks away.
Best wishes from our team to all of our families, friends and supporters over the holiday season. Your support has been invaluable.
It goes without saying that we have a big couple of months ahead of us and we look forward to sharing them with you.
Our apologies, as there's a bit of a lag between picture-taking and posting, but this is how it looked from the bridge of the Oceanlady approaching Panama Bay and the Canal yesterday.
Matt Feron sent the image and a note saying they've run 2913 nautical miles to date - that's nearly 40 percent of the total trip now in their wake. Time flies when you have 22 000 horsepower pushing you along!
The Oceanlady has entered the Panama Canal. Here she is at the Miraflores lock, at 0120 GMT, on Wednesday morning.
Thanks to Tom Ehman for the photo which he grabbed from one of the Panama Canal webcams. You can find them here.
Sailing team coach and multiple time A-Class world champion Glenn Ashby (AUS) has invited some of the BMW ORACLE Racing sailing team down to Australia over the holidays for some multihull racing.
The idea, according to Ashby, is for the guys, "to get as much racing in as possible over the next two weeks. They'll compete against each other and then the rest of the top A-Class sailors in Australia and New Zealand in the Australian Championships, which begin just after Christmas."
Spending the holidays down under are sailing team members Jimmy Spithill (AUS), John Kostecki (USA), Dirk 'Cheese' de Ridder (NED), Noel Drennan (IRL) and coach Ashby.
"They will need to trim, steer, make tactical decisions and do it all on their own, which will make for some good fun and learning outside the box," Ashby said. "And all of this on boats and bodies of water that the guys are mostly unfamiliar with."
The guys are training under Glenn's watchful eye out of the McCrae Yacht Club on the Mornington Peninsula, in Victoria, Australia. The Australian A-Class Championships will be held at Safety Beach Sailing Club a few kilometres to the east.
There are some great shots available from team photographer Gilles Martin-Raget (FRA) on the main team website. Take a look and download your favourite shot. Here is one of mine.
Here's an 'end of year' slide show compiled by our fantastic team photographer Gilles Martin-Raget (FRA). It's been quite a year, and 2010 promises to be even more intense!
You can see more great videos of the team on our YouTube page.
They keep coming. More from Germany, the home of our partner, BMW.
More from the BMW Tech Workshop in Munich. This one's for our German friends, from Saturday's Die Welt.
John von Seeburg and Rick Deppe have been on site in San Diego with the shore crew as they've loaded the Oceanlady and prepared to ship the team to Valencia.
This afternoon, as soon as the ship left, Rick cut together this piece, which you can view on our YouTube channel.
The crew from the monthly sailing show, CNN Mainsail, was in San Diego last month and the segment they shot will be on CNN International this week and repeated on the weekend. Unfortunately, this is NOT available on CNN in North America.
The episode will be online here from the 22nd December.
And she's off - bon voyage!
The Oceanlady has left San Diego, as seen in this image from 'friend of the team' Troy Sears, who was out on the bay today.
And here she is shown on the commercial ship tracking site, marinetraffic.com, at approx. 13:30 local time in San Diego, courtesy of Tom Ehman.
BTW, you'll notice we've changed our reference to the ship Oceanlady, from Ocean Lady. All the official notices call her as Oceanlady, so we were clearly misinformed in our previous posts... We'll be using the correct name from now onwards.
It's been a long night of hard work for the shore crew, but the beautiful wing sail for the BOR 90 is now aboard the Ocean Lady cargo ship, which will soon be bound for Valencia. The wing was the final piece of the puzzle as far as loading goes, and the ship is expected to depart early Tuesday afternoon, local time in San Diego.
Tim Kelley, the Vice President of R.E. Staite Engineering Inc. who have worked with the team shore crew on the loading operation told our man John von that the wing is probably 'the most unusual item we've picked up'. He said it's been a big challenge to handle the wing safely and required tight teamwork from the guys on the ship, the barge, the crane and the team shore crew. So today a hearty congratulations goes out to all involved - well done guys. Now go get some sleep!
Loading of the Ocean Lady continues overnight in San Diego. Our intrepid video producer John von Seeburg (USA) is putting in the long hours along with the shore crew and says that as of 04:30 local time in San Diego, the wing has been moved by floating crane to the ship and will be lifted on board shortly.
He also spoke to design coordinator Ian 'Fresh' Burns (AUS) earlier in the night: "The ship is here, we've had a lot to put on it and we've been going step-by-step," getting everything in it's place. He also said it's "quite a step in the campaign to be going to Valencia. We're excited - after over a year here in San Diego, we're almost off now!"
The loading work on the Ocean Lady continues Monday. The sun has returned to San Diego and the masts are being loaded today.
The wing is now back inside the big tent at the base in San Diego. Loading will resume on Monday, weather permitting.
More nice press on the wing. For our friends in France.
Reporter Michelle Slade gets tactician John Kostecki (USA) talking about sailing multihulls: "I hadn't done much before and it's fun because it's so different, the boat is so fast and challenging," he said. "I've sailed on eight or 10 different multi-hulls on this campaign in racing/training scenarios and I'm enjoying it.
"Flying the hull is what the multi-hull game is all about, and what you're trying to achieve. The first few times flying the hull is pretty exciting, it gets your heart going. Eventually you get used to it and it becomes the norm because the boat's not performing at its optimum until you're flying the hull."
Friday was a bittersweet day in the BMW ORACLE Racing team campaign. Our time in San Diego is coming to a close, and during the afternoon, one hour ahead of schedule, the BOR 90 was moved from the team base to on board the cargo ship the Ocean Lady, which will transport it to Valencia.
At 14:00 today, one hour ahead of schedule, the BOR 90 was lifted up into a grey, misty sky. She's now being loaded aboard the Ocean Lady for the journey to Valencia. Shannon Falcone (ANT) called it "one of the decisive moments" of the campaign.
"San Diego has been great to the team so we're sorry to be going. But Valencia has been home to a lot of the guys, so at the same time we're looking forward to being 'home' again."
Julien Di Biase (SUI), who's been integral to the operation, said that loading the ship has been, "a smooth operation so far because we have highly skilled shore crew and sailors - the right people in the right jobs, starting with Scotty."
Here of course, he's speaking of Scott Sandford (NZL), who has been directing the action on the day. John von reports that Scotty appears to be a three places at once, and in each of them, he's on the phone and radio simultaneously!
Packing will continue on Saturday, weather permitting.
And finally, here's a story about the team on the Port of San Diego website. Thanks guys, we'll miss you.
From San Diego, video producer John von Seeburg (USA) picked up his still camera on Thursday and sent us this shot of the BOR 90. The temporary tent has been taken down, and the boat is being wrapped up for shipping.
The Challenger for the 33rd America's Cup, Golden Gate Yacht Club and their team BMW ORACLE Racing, along with the Defender, Alinghi, met with government officials in Valencia on Thursday to kick-off plans for staging the event in the waters of Valencia in February.
Representatives from the city, including Mayoress Rita Barberá, along with senior officials from the regional and national governments, were on hand to begin making plans for all aspects of hosting the event, which is scheduled to start on February 8, 2010.
BMW ORACLE Racing was represented by Grant Davidson (NZL), Tom Ehman (USA), Joaquin Maldanado (ESP), Pablo Mataix (ESP) and Ruiz de Elvira (ESP).
"With the America's Cup Match now less than two months away, we're happy that today, for the first time, the key parties were in the same room discussing what needs to be done to make this a successful event," said Tom Ehman, GGYC spokesman and head of external affairs for BMW ORACLE Racing.
"The discussions were fruitful, we made real progress, and I am optimistic we are on the right track. The February date is fast approaching, but we all want the same thing -- to make this an event worthy of the America's Cup. We all agree that there is a lot of work to do in a very short time. But with Valencia's experience from the 2007 event and working together we can do it.
"We agreed that a number of working parties will be immediately formed, with the relevant people from the Spanish authorities and each of the teams, to tackle the important tasks that need to be completed over the next eight weeks," Ehman said.
The Fox 5 webcam is live from the team base in San Diego. The BOR 90 is in view as the team continues packing in preparation for shipping to Valencia in the coming days.
Team CEO Russell Coutts (NZL) addressed delegates at the World Yacht Racing Forum in Monaco on Thursday afternoon, with Alinghi skipper Brad Butterworth following in turn. The two principals of the teams who will race in the 33rd America's Cup Match in February each spoke ahead of a larger group discussion about the future of Cup.
On the heels of a magnificent slide show from team photographer Gilles Martin-Raget (FRA), Coutts opened by speaking about the BOR 90, the powerful trimaran his team has designed and built to race in the Match. Featuring for a sail the biggest wing ever built, Coutts called the boat a triumph of imagination, design and engineering. He also paid tribute to Alinghi's catamaran.
"I think in another 100 years, people might look back and see the BOR 90 and Alinghi 5 in the same way we now look at Reliance and Shamrock - as two of the most extreme Cup yachts of all time and landmarks in the Cup's rich history," he said.
He went on to talk about the disputes that have plagued the Cup since July 2007, but paid a personal tribute to Butterworth, his previous tactician, saying: "Throughout these past two years, our team has tried not to personalise our differences. The fact that friendships have remained is a sign of how robust the links are between many of the people at BMW ORACLE and Alinghi. Thank you Brad, for still being Brad."
Looking towards the future, Coutts said establishing neutral management for the event would be critical. In fact, he said, the next America's Cup must be guided by the principles of neutrality, fairness and mutual consent between the Defender and challengers.
"The simplicity of the Deed is its beauty, particularly the words 'mutual consent'," Coutts noted. "It works.
"The first step to a healthier future has to be truly independent management of the sporting issues. I believe this as does Larry Ellison, who has made a public pledge to have professional and independent management if BMW ORACLE is successful."
This seemed to match up with what the majority of Cup teams want, if the group panel discussion which followed was anything to go by. A point repeated time and again was that the class of boat, for example, should be something the majority of the teams support.
Coutts closed his talk by emphasising that much of what of the America's Cup community wants can be achieved under the terms of the existing Deed of Gift.
"All it takes is a commitment to Mutual Consent. The two most beautiful words in the Deed of Gift."
Some more feedback from the BMW technology workshop in Munich. This from Gian Luca Pasini and La Gazzetta Dello Sport.
As well as a couple of more images from the conference that have come in from BMW.
Team CEO Russell Coutts is now in Monaco for the World Yacht Racing Forum, and we'll have a report from there later this week.
[We've had this come in from the San Diego branch, where heavy rains have challenged the pack-up crew... Thanks to Stephen Barclay (NZL) for the report].
We arrived at the base this morning (Tuesday) to pools of water after receiving over four inches of rain to start the week. VERY un-San Diego!!
But despite the weather, the pack-up continues. The number of team members in town is dropping as designers and sailors leave for a well-earned break. As usual, the boat-builders and shore team will be the last to leave and the first to return.
The BOR 90 is being prepared for shipping and is scheduled to depart San Diego next week, bound for Valencia.
A big day for the team in Munich on Tuesday. As referenced earlier, BMW held a 'technology workshop' for the media with several members of the team at the BMW Welt in Munich. 50 media representing eight countries were present.
Team CEO Russell Coutts (NZL) gave a talk entitled 'Dare to dream', speaking about what happens when talented designers are given the freedom to 'play in the sandbox' in the open design space of a Deed of Gift challenge.
And design coordinator Ian 'Fresh' Burns (AUS) gave his insight into the risk vs. reward balance the team is attempting to strike as the Match draws near.
The assembled media also enjoyed presentations from Joseph Ozanne (FRA) the leader of the wing project, who you've seen on the blog and YouTube before, Thomas Hahn (GER) and Christoph Erbelding (GER), two structural and aeronautical engineers with the BMW Group who have worked with the AC design team since 2004, and Francesco Pozzi, an expert in hydraulic systems and winches who led the engine project. Tom Ehman (USA) did a sterling job as master of ceremonies.
Standing out as a highlight on the day was a spectacular slide show put together by team photographer Gilles Martin-Raget (FRA), which documented the progress of the team over the course of 2009. We'll be sure to bring you that here on the blog later this week.
And John von Seeburg and his team put together some impressive videos. Here's the one used to set the mood for the day.
It didn't take long for word from Munich to filter out into the media world. Stuart Alexander, writing for The Independent newspaper in the UK filed this report, including an audio interview with Russell Coutts, within a few minutes of the close of play today.
Of course, we have to acknowledge our friends at BMW who pulled the day together. And a big thanks was also extended by Russell and the other presenters, acknowledging how important the support of BMW has been to the team through what has been a very challenging AC campaign. It's great to have friends like that when you need them most. Our thanks to all involved.
Yesterday we had snow in Nevada. Today, it's rain in San Diego and Munich. After going almost completely without rain for the past six months in San Diego, on Monday, the heavens opened, making for unpleasant working conditions for the team on pack-up duty. It must be time to leave.
Similar weather in Munich, where the PR and media team is at BMW Welt, where BMW is hosting a technology workshop featuring team CEO Russell Coutts along with a handful of design team members.
We'll have more from Munich, and the BMW technology workshop, later today.
With the first race of the 33rd America's Cup Match scheduled for February 8th 2010 in Valencia, today marks just two months from the Match.
Our team is going gangbusters in San Diego, Anacortes, Valencia, and points beyond, to be ready for racing in February.
You already know our team operates out of Anacortes, USA (boatbuilders), San Diego, USA (training), Valencia, Spain (our old and soon to be new home) and at regattas around the world (Louis Vuitton Trophy, RC 44, MedCup etc).
Well that's not the only places you'll find us.
Here are a couple of photos from the Nevada branch, where Craig Phillips (AUS), head of our Minden, Nevada, sail-making team, sent in these winter snapshots, including a snowman kitted out in team gear.
From Sunday's San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper, a note of thanks from the team.
And with google translation into English.
Here Tom Ehman (USA) - seated third from left - and Jane Eagleson (USA) - seated second from right - host the luncheon.
It won't be much of a weekend for the San Diego pack-up crew as work continues unabated. There are 19 shipping containers to pack and plenty more besides...nearly 200 tonnes in total.
Nearly all of the cargo (containers, RIBs, etc) is first loaded on a barge, which will be pushed over to the cargo ship, where it will then get loaded on board.
With the team packing up in San Diego for the move back to Valencia, things are starting to ramp up in Spain. On Friday afternoon, Jane Eagleson (USA), our Director of PR and Media, hosted a lunch with the local media at the team base.
Life is going to get a little more difficult in San Diego for the team members still on site on the packing detail. Cathy Ryan (FRA) is leaving on Friday and her M+M machine is going with her. (More on that later).
Cathy started with BMW ORACLE Racing in October 2007: "I never knew anything about the America's Cup at the time. But a friend was working for the team and told me they needed some help. So I started working part-time, just 10am to 3pm, a few days a week, looking after the team apartments."
She laughs as she says this. 10 til 3 would constitute a very small fraction of her working day now.
From that start in Valencia, beginning a few months after the end of the 32nd America's Cup, Cathy soon became an indispensable member of the admin team. Her official title is Sailing Team Administrator but in reality, she's the den mother to the entire team, looking after, well, everything.
"Basically I try to look after everybody who needs help," she says. And that's about as good a job description as any. If you need help with something - travel, visa arrangements, laundry, organising thanksgiving dinner for 100, or birthday cakes, she's the one to turn to. She just gets it done.
"The job is never the same, there's always something different. And here, with so many people away from their homes or their families, I feel like a counsellor as well at times.People come in here, telling me their stories."
No doubt the counsel is welcome, but there's also the matter of the M+M machine that makes her office the gathering place for team members needing a sugar hit.
"I love sweets and sweet things. I always have to snack," she says. "One day I bought M+Ms and everybody seemed to like them, so I kept buying them. Then a few of the sailors had been on a weekend in Las Vegas and they brought this little machine back for me. So now, it's a tradition. It's amazing. People have a hard day, they're tired or frustrated, they come here, they grab a handful of M+Ms and, like magic, they're smiling again."
The M+M dispenser will soon be filled up in Valencia, where the team relocates at the end of the month. For Cathy, returning to her home in Spain can't come soon enough. She has her husband and two daughters there, and she's looking forward to seeing her first America's Cup.
"I've never seen an America's Cup race. I wasn't involved with the team last time and I think I went down to the port with my family for a look just once or twice, so it will be great to finally see what this is all about."

Pedro Oliveira is the co-founder of Landing.jobs, a marketplace that focuses on finding the best technology specialists for the best companies in Europe. In Portugal, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands, we believe that people should take their careers into their own hands and help more than 1,000 people around the world to change their lives.
He is an innovator in the field of human resources technology and my professional goal is to develop products that enable people to take full control of their careers.
He has gone through several stages in his career: Developers, business analysts, researchers, managers, directors and founders of various companies.
He's a big fan of sci-fi stuff like Stargate SG-1, Stargate Way, Dune.
In an exclusive interview, Pedro says
I believe that a true knowledge of some respect, responsibility and a strong will are fundamental to the growth and development of a powerful person.
The best advice I got was Better than Perfect from João Vasconcelos, founder and CEO of Startup Lisboa.
In addition to these tips, I advise people to be very careful with their motivations and make sure they have chosen the right partners for their new journey.
Read on to learn more about Pedro Oliveira and his journey.
Tell me about your personal experiences and what motivated you to work for your company.
Pedro Oliveira: I was born and raised in Lisbon and graduated from the CS Instituto Superior Técnico, one of the best technical universities in Europe.
I know something about technology, processes and people. So far I have experienced several changes in my career: IT analyst, developer, researcher, project coordinator, engineering manager (from a remote technical team), as well as the founder of several companies before Landing.Jobs began to load.
Besides being a big fan of making digital products, I am also a big fan of science fiction content such as Stargate SG-1, Star Trek, Dune and many others.
My decision to launch Landing.Jobs was based on several motivational factors, some of which are related to my independence and the creation and development of digital products that have an overall impact on career improvement.
What is your current main product and can you give a product sales history?
Pedro Oliveira: Our current main product is the Technological Labour Market, which brings together technical specialists and companies using advanced evaluation technologies.
In 2014, however, we took an early turn when we launched the platform based on a comparison of the recommendations. However, we soon realised that if we wanted the games to be a success, we had to focus on the candidate's experience.
How much money have you raised so far? When was the last financing cycle?
Pedro Oliveira: We started with a boot mentality and durability that we still have today. However, sometimes it is necessary to calculate investments on the basis of manually selected partners.
We have already raised €750,000 from LC Ventures and Portugal Ventures in 2015 and recently completed a new €2 million investment round at the beginning of the year.
What are the internal decision-making processes that determined the start of fundraising and what logistics are involved? And how many investors did you meet, how did you get to know these investors and which channels worked best for you?
Pedro Oliveira: We have an ambitious business plan that requires strategic investments to develop our business. So we're getting closer to realizing our vision: a world in which technology professionals make careers.
In terms of logistics, both processes took about 6 months, which is almost full time. You should be aware that as a founder you are not 100% focused on your business when it comes to raising capital.
We have been and continue to be in contact with investors who are in line with our vision. We have a CRM to manage this human relationship. In addition, given the nature of our business, Landing.Jobs is always useful in helping portfolio company investors recruit the right technical talent. The best channels are verbal letters and letters of recommendation. In addition, investors keep knocking on our door to learn more about Landing. Work.
What are the main challenges and obstacles in the fundraising process? If you had to start over, what else would you do?
Pedro Oliveira: It's probably a very long process. If we had to start from scratch, we would have been much more demanding in the first few laps; we had more bargaining power than we thought. In addition, I could better manage my time and focus on the development of our company, regardless of the investment process.
What are the milestones for the next cycle? And what are your goals for the future?
Pedro Oliveira: We have a road map and a North Star. We don't have to go to another round if we don't want to. This is now the way forward, but as a company we are also close to sustainable development, so we are independent and free to make our own decisions. Our current investors agree with this vision and this way of working; our Board of Directors does not believe in burning money for growth.
How did you attract users and what strategy did you use to grow your business from start to finish?
Pedro Oliveira: The best strategy for attracting talent is verbal gossip. It's quite difficult to get a result, but if you do a good job, and in our case you compare people and companies, it happens word for word. We also use a combination of content, paid marketing (job ads and job aggregators), mail and social media.
Which software was the best marketing tool to help your start-up grow, and why?
Pedro Oliveira: In fact, I can't really decide which option suits me best, and it's a combination of marketing tools and internal tools we've developed. And they're a dynamic duo.
That most starters are usually wrong about marketing?
Pedro Oliveira: Make sure that those who launched the programme for the first time become strong ambassadors and give feedback on their products.
How would you like to develop your activities worldwide?
Pedro Oliveira: We have our own expansion formula, which consists of a combination of factors, including adaptation to the rules of the local market. We are already present in many countries and our customer base, which consists of talented people, is spread all over the world.
What are the most common mistakes companies make in their global expansion?
Pedro Oliveira: It's probably developing too fast, too early. Geographical expansion is costly and time-consuming – each region has its own specifications and needs to be understood, especially in Europe with its many different microcultures, sometimes even within the same country.
How do you manage the Kovid 19 flash situation to ensure the survival of your company?
Pedro Oliveira: We spend 30% of our time correcting and improving internal processes and 70% on finding new and creative ways to achieve our goals of attracting talented people while finding new sources of income in segments such as teleworking.
What are the most common mistakes founders make when starting a business?
Pedro Oliveira: The biggest mistake is choosing the wrong co-founder for your new company. It is of fundamental importance that the founder has a value orientation; if he doesn't have one, things will go wrong at some point in his life.
I think there are a few other relevant mistakes the founders make.
He's hiring the wrong people. I don't think managers have the slightest idea of what this can do, the cost of hiring and firing a person is enormous. When you start, you should try to avoid it. The warning is that you know you're going to make mistakes, so it's good to experience the settings from day one.
The second thing is the lack of concentration when you start from scratch, which is a great feeling, but the potential for reversal is enormous. Don't forget that.
What is the best advice you have ever received? And what advice can you give to someone who wants to do similar things with you or go in a similar direction?
Pedro Oliveira: The best advice I got was Better than Perfect from João Vasconcelos, founder and CEO of Startup Lisboa.
What are the three most popular books or movies (series) that changed your life and why?
Pedro Oliveira:
The blindness of Saramago, the animal farm and the eighty-four Orwelles have actively contributed to shaping my political position.
How do you maintain your motivation on a daily basis?
Pedro Oliveira: Physical exercise to make room for any work that throws itself on me, and I try to have a clear list of priorities in my head, which is usually also on a piece of paper.
What are the three most important life lessons your (future) sons and daughters need to know?
Pedro Oliveira: I believe that a true knowledge of some respect, responsibility and a strong will are fundamental to the growth and development of a powerful person.
Why do you want to be remembered?
Pedro Oliveira: I want to be remembered as a loyal and good friend, as someone you can trust and as an innovator in your heart.
You can follow Pedro Oliveira.

Proyecto Restaurante Marcus Apicius Menú Internacional : Skog y Mery, sabores de temporada.
Title: Proyecto Restaurante Marcus Apicius Menú Internacional : Skog y Mery, sabores de temporada.
The purpose of this study is to transmit a piece of the great magic of Scandinavian cuisine, how are ingredients used, and how techniques are applied. The purpose itself is to transmit all the creative process made to create amazing and exotic dishes. The Scandinavian cuisine is a blend of a variety of influences, as they are the French cuisine and the cuisine from Lapland, presenting still authenticity and originality though all their flavors. The fresh, natural, and exquisite flavors predominate in Scandinavian Cuisine due to the fact that the ingredients are not transformed, but optimized, offering the best flavor as possible. The Scandinavian cuisine finds itself in a constant growth influencing other types of cuisine in a very deep way. In my opinion the richness of Scandinavian Cuisine has a lot to offer to the universal cuisine, exquisite secrets from this small Nordic region in Europe.

The Missouri Department of Conservation administers more than 975,000 acres for wildlife habitat for public recreation. About 615,000 of these acres are forest. The MDC's emphasis of acquiring substantial new acreage has shifted to that of being more focused on improving infrastructure and access to existing conservation areas. There is always an ongoing effort to manage habitat to benefit wildlife.
These state managed lands provide a variety of environmental benefits including wildlife habitat, watershed protection, scenic beauty, wood products, and outdoor recreation. One such outdoor recreational sport is that of horseback riding. Horseback riding is permitted on roads and trails open to vehicle traffic, and on specially designated trails within the Conservation Areas. Some trails may be closed or have limited access at various times during the year, especially during the hunting season.
There are more than 50 conservation areas that allow horseback riding, with a total of more than 600 miles of trail. We are very fortunate in Missouri to have so many trails available to us Missouri Trailblazers.


The Lutheran Church held their annual memorial service and supper this past Sunday, Aug. 5. There was a large attendance and it was a very nice service. Rev. Ted Heinze was the pastor and Roy Bretzlaff was the organist. The singers were Louise Donaldson, Bob Risnick and Philip Holmes and they sang "How Great Thou Art", which was just beautiful. Also, Roy Bretzlaff was another one of the singers.
The cemetary looked lovely with flowers placed on the graves of loved ones gone on before. After the service, a delicious meal was served in the church basement. Everyone enjoyed the fellowship and meeting old friends and relatives that they haven't seen in a while.

Снежный эффект озера — процесс образования кучево-дождевых облаков и выпадения из них осадков, связанный со смешением холодного сухого континентального воздуха с тёплым влажным морским воздухом.

Проявляется зимой, когда холодный воздух, перемещаясь над тёплой водой озера, насыщается водяным паром и прогревается снизу, что приводит к развитию конвективных облаков. Такой же эффект возникает и на бо́льших природных водоёмах: океан, море, залив. Эффект усиливается, когда перемещающиеся воздушные массы поднимаются по склонам орографических препятствий на берегу (гор, холмов), что может вызвать узкие, но очень интенсивные, полосы осадков (чаще всего снегопадов). Местность, испытавшую снежный эффект озера, называют «».

Если температура воздуха недостаточно низка, вместо снега идёт дождь. Независимо от фазового состояния осадков, воздушные массы, проходящие над озером, должны быть значительно холоднее поверхности воды. Например, Т850 — температура воздуха на уровне 850 гПа (на высоте, где атмосферное давление составляет 850 гПа — примерно 1500 м над уровнем моря) должна быть не менее чем на 13 °C ниже, чем температура поверхности воды. При особенно большой разности температуры поверхности воды и Т850 могут возникать снежные грозы.

Образование

Основные факторы для формирования снежного эффекта озера: перепад температуры, размер водоёма, направление ветра, поднятие влаги, география озера, снежный/ледяной покров и пр.

Нестабильность воздуха

Различие температуры в 13 °C между Т850 и температурой воды стимулирует развитие восходящих конвективных потоков и формирование облачности.

Размер водоёма

Важно и расстояние, которое воздушные массы должны пройти над поверхностью озера. Так как большинство озёр неправильной формы, на разных берегах эффект может проявляться с разной силой. Как правило, такое расстояние должно быть не менее 100 км для проявления описываемого эффекта. Чем оно будет больше — тем осадки будут сильней, на больших расстояниях воздушная масса хорошо насыщается паром и получает бо́льшую энергию. Достигнув другого берега, воздух поднимается вверх и охлаждается, формируется облачность, выпадают осадки обычно в полосе шириной 40 км от озера.

Градиент ветра

Градиент ветра является важным фактором, влияющим на проявление эффекта.

Ледяной покров

Когда озеро замерзает, площадь воды, способной взаимодействовать с воздушными массами, уменьшается. К тому же с понижением температуры вода может передавать всё меньше тепловой энергии.

Проявление в регионе Великих Озёр

Холодные ветры зимой преобладают на северо-западе в регионе Великих Озёр, производя довольно сильные проявления снежного эффекта озера на южных и восточных берегах. Таким образом формируется значительное различие в силе осадков на южных, восточных, северных и западных берегах.

Город Лондон в Канаде окружён озером с трёх сторон (хотя город близок к Гурону и Эри), поэтому часто подвергается сильным снегопадам. Гамильтон и Торонто находятся на подветренной стороне во время доминирующих северо-западных ветров, поэтому снежный эффект их почти не касается.

Малые озера, такие, как Атабаска в северной части провинции Саскачеван и Нипигон на северо-западе Онтарио, в начале сезона также порождают эффект. Снежный эффект озера периодически возникает и на водохранилище Смолвуд, расположенном в Лабрадоре.

В других регионах мира

Озёрный эффект проявляется и в других странах возле больших озёр и морей. Например, в Эгейском море, в Греции, где холодные северо-восточные ветры, именуемые бореями, вторгаются во влажный тёплый морской воздух.

Снежный эффект проявляется в Чёрном море у берегов Грузии и Турции, в Адриатическом море у берегов Италии. Воздушные массы из Швеции, проходя через Балтийское море, приносят сильный снег на южные и восточные берега.

В Соединённом Королевстве восточные холодные континентальные ветры, проходя через Северное море, также иногда приводят к подобному явлению. В этом регионе такие осадки тоже называют «снежный эффект озера», несмотря на то, что снег поступает из моря.

Снежный эффект в морозную погоду при незамёрзшей водной поверхности проявляется также на наветренных берегах Азовского, Каспийского, Аральского морей, на озере Иссык-Куль, Сарыкамышском озере и других крупных озёрах.

На крупнейшем по объёму воды озере на планете Байкале этот эффект мало где проявляется. Исключение составляет южное и юго-восточное побережье озера. На метеостанции Байкальск годовая норма осадков 780 мм, на метеостанции Танхой 895 мм, в горах, окаймляющих это побережье, — 1500 мм, при этом в Иркутске норма атмосферных осадков — 480 мм в год.

Masonville Marine terminal is a state of the art facility that consists of nearly 50 acres, the specialization of the terminal is to handle the importing, exporting and processing of automobiles. 6 original test piles were driven with the ICE I-100 diesel hammer when testing conclusions were made to the pile design to allow for higher allowable tensile stresses and the hammer was switched out for the ICE I-80 due to the I-100 being too much hammer even on its lowest setting. Some additional test piles were driven to establish the production of pile driving criteria and were monitored with both PDA and EDC techniques. The I-80 drove the rest of the pile without any complications or issues. Subsurface soil composition of hard packed clay, sand and a lot of cobbles eliminated any possibility of moving forward without any pre-drilling. ICE provided the ICE HS-75 drill and power unit. A custom made bit and jet was used primarily to break up this layer, the drill was operated in the torque mode and had no problems with bogging down. Corman Marine Construction has been dredging and constructing a new wharf and Ro-Ro ramp at the Masonville Marine terminal. Start date of construction was June 11th 2012 and is expected to be completed in July of 2014. Dredging will be performed by the dredge CMC-2400. The dredge will monitor VHF-Fm channels 13 and 16.
