Sketching at the War Memorial

It might have been overcast today but we had a good turn out to the monthly get together of the Canberra Sketchers Group at the Australian War Memorial (AWM) – including 5 people who came along for the first time. Having briefly met for a quick chat and orientation everyone dispersed to draw.
Group photo time, the AWM behind us.
The Memorial building itself is interesting and there are so many different perspectives that is can be hard to choose just one spot to draw from. On previous visits I had discovered, not that it is hard to spot, the bridge of the HMAS Brisbane – the whole top section of the battleship – which was removed and re-sited in the grounds of the memorial. Today's cooler temperature meant that I could spend all the time I wanted to get the sketch done.

Afterwards we got together in Poppies cafe for coffee, chat and comparison of our sketches. As always it was fascinating to see the various styles and subjects of everyone's drawings.
Our collective efforts!
The next Canberra Sketchers Group sketchwalk will be on 4 October, 10.30 am, we will be meeting to sketch at Floriade, Canberra's annual floral festival. If you will be in Canberra you would be welcome to come along. For more details please contact me through the link at the top of this page.
(Personal) Treasures of the Australian War Memorial – Part 2
A Force Allied POWs, Australian War Memorial, hand stitching, improvised pullover, POW artefacts
For Part 1 of my visit to the Australian War Memorial click here.
The second archive box I looked at held the 'improvised pullover' made by Bombadier L G Burnett. Burnett became a prisoner of war of the Japanese after fighting in Malaysia and Singapore. He volunteered, along with some 1,000 Allied POWs, to work on airfield construction in Burma and also subsequently worked on the Burma-Thailand railway project. This group was known as A Force. This jumper was made while Burnett was working on the railway and was kept by him through subsequent moves through Thailand until the end of the war.
Improvised pullover, BombadierL G Burnett, 2/10 Field Regiment, World War II
What surprised both the curator and myself is how small the jumper is. Given this was made some time into his captivity I must assume that by this time Bombadier Burnett was probably quite malnourished. The text accompanying the online entry notes that this garment was worn by Bombadier Burnett during bouts of malaria and also when he suffered from dysentery so he could sleep outside close to the latrines.
As you can see from the image above the pullover is composed of different pieces of fabric. The central brown section is a scarf that was part of an Australian comfort package. The sleeves which are actually the legs of a pair of British long-johns he got in Singapore. Prior to them becoming part of the jumper, Bombadier Burnett used them, stuffed, as a pillow. The lower green section are Bombadier Burnett's puttees. The puttees are made of a machine-knitted woollen fabric.
Unlike the previous knitted pullover with its skillful styling, this garment shows improvisation in the face of very scarce resources. The collar of the garment is made from part of a Japanese blanket and like the rest of the garment is attached with basic stitching.
The collar of Bombadier Burnetts pullover
While I couldn't touch the pullover I was able to make notes and draw a schematic diagram of it.
Schematic of the Burnett pullover and various points of interest
The detail of the stitching shows utilitarian work with no particular signs of sewing experience. Basic stitches, running stitch and vertical stitching (possibly overhand) hold the sections together. Parts of the pullover are darned with scraps of wool. Various types of thread, sewing cotton, wool and some cotton twine are used across the garment. The central section has two diagonal rows of stitching which, I assume, form darts to better shape the pullover for fit.
Where the puttees (green) join the central section (fawn) of the Burnett garment.
I found Bombadier Burnett's name in a list of released prisoners in the Nambour Chronicle and North Coast Advertiser of 21 September 1945. Bombadier Burnett was discharged from the army in January 1946.
Lionel Granville Burnett (1918-2012).
RELEASED WAR PRISONERS ON WAY HOME. (1945, September 21). Nambour Chronicle and North Coast Advertiser (Qld. : 1922 – 1954), p. 5. Retrieved July 9, 2015, from http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article78519034
An interesting sideline to this story is that one of the commanding officers of A Force, Brigadier Arthur Varley MC and Bar, CO 22 Bde, instructed Jim Collins, one of the A Force POWs to make "portraits of fellow POWs, some of whom would not survive the war." Collins made some 100 drawings. While there isn't a drawing of Bombadier Burnett (that I could find), you can see some portraits of some of the A Force Allied POWs made by Jim Collins, which are also held in the AWM collection.

(Personal) Treasures from the Australian War Memorial – Part 1
Australian War Memorial, First World War, hand knitting, jumpers, knitting, Lance Corporal Percy Augustus Burge, Military Heraldry and Technology, Percy Augustus Burge, POW artefacts, pullovers
A friend recently told me about a jumper (pullover) she thought I might be interested in. It belonged to an Australian soldier who made it when he was a prisoner of war in Germany during the First World War. The jumper was made, very skillfully, of many strands of wool gathered from comfort packages. As I often work with re-cycled fabric and find signs of the history on a garment of great interest I decided to see what more I could find out about these items. Which led me to where I was a few days ago – standing with one of the curators from the Military Heraldry and Technology section of the Australian War Memorial (AWM) with two archive boxes in front of me.
It turns out that the AWM has a number of similar items in its collection. I located them through the Memorial's online collection search facility. I had requested access to two items (the one my friend mentioned is currently on display in the First World War galleries), a hand-knitted jumper made by another WWI prisoner of war; and a Second World War pullover, which had been improvised by an Australian soldier held prisoner of the Japanese in Singapore, Burma and Thailand.
To do each item justice I will look at them in turn, starting with the First World War knitted pullover made by Lance Corporal Percy Augustus Burge, 14 Battalion AIF (Australian Imperial Forces). Lance Corporal Burge, who was 18 when he enlisted, was captured at Bullecourt after being wounded in the legs by a grenade and also sustaining a shrapnel wound to the kidneys. After a period in hospital being treated for his wounds he spent time in two POW camps. This garment was made from the wool from worn out socks and was knitted on needles made from wire.
Pullover knitted by Lance Corporal PA Burge, 14 Battalion AIF, in its archive box
As the curator pulled it out of its box it became clear that this is one of the most beautiful jumpers I have ever seen. The colours are amazing and even these photographs don't do justice to how bright the colours appeared. The whole piece is worked in two strands of wool. It was like Lance Corporal Burge had knitted all the colours of a lichen-covered boulder into this one garment. The colours used include varying shades of grey, soft ochres, browns and rusty oranges, khakis and other greens. I counted 15 colour changes on the body of the jumper alone.
Cable and Broken Rib stitch from the front of the jumper.
The jumper appears to be a classic gansey style with the body knitted in the round and gussets under the arms. There are several cable patterns on the body and the sleeves and another stitch which has been identified as blackberry stitch, but that a friend has been suggested is in fact a broken rib stitch. Looking at the two types of stitch online I'm inclined to agree that it is the reverse side of broken rib stitch, (an image of which can be seen here).
Ribbing on the lower front of the jumper
This is a beautifully knitted garment. Although there is no information that says whether Lance Corporal Burge could knit before he became a prisoner I suspect that he could. ****It turns out that I am wrong. Staff at the AWM have since checked the detailed information associated with this item and it said that Lance Corporal Burge didn't knit prior to his internment.**** Whether he was an artist is any other part of his life I do not know but he certainly had the eyes of a natural colourist.
I took some photos of the jumper along to my hand-spinning group and we had a lively discussion about whether the wool was commercially produced and whether they would have been using synthetic or plant dyes for colouring. I can at least answer the first question as there were certainly woollen mills operating in Australia since the 19th century. Waverly Woollen Mills near Launceston, was founded in 1874 and in Sydney, the Vicars Woollen Mill moved to their Marrickville premises in 1893. Vicars also had the contract for supplying the National Military Training Scheme contract in the First World War. Looking at the grey wool that features throughout the jumper we wondered whether it was spun directly from a grey fleece rather than being a dyed yarn. We also wondered, given this garment was made from worn out socks and suchlike, whether there is a possibility that some of those yarns could have been made from handspun yarn. I don't know.
I had a quick look at some of the other records held by the AWM and was interested to see that on being repatriated to England in 1918 Lance Corporal Burge's condition was summarised as "Wounds healed. Feels well."
Percy Augustus Burge lived until 1970.

After Afghanistan
After Afghanistan, Australian War Memorial, Ben Quilty
One of the reasons we went to the Australian War Memorial last week was to see the current exhibition of paintings by Ben Quilty, an official war artist who went to Afghanistan in 2011. To quote from the AWM website "Quilty has created large-scale portraits that focus on the intense physicality of these soldiers and on the emotional and psychological consequences of their service."
These works display Quilty's characteristic large slashes of paint and this completely 'works' with the intensity of his subject matter.
Three portraits of Air Commodore John Oddie, Ben Quilty
What is quite unusual is that Quilty asked the men and women who sat for their portraits to pose naked, to show what the body is like after it is stripped of its uniform and body armour. They were also asked "to select a pose that reflected an aspect of his or her experience. Some of them drew on an actual event from their deployment, others on the tiredness or the emotions they felt after their return to Australia". The results are dramatic and almost emotionally too intimate in their outcome.
Trooper M, After Afghanistan, Ben Quilty
Given the intensity of these works it came as some relief to be able to step backwards and look at some of the sketches that Quilty made during his actual time in Afghanistan, including these two.
Ben Quilty, sketches made in Afghanistan
As a sketcher I'm always interested in seeing what other artists draw. I also think that these straightforward works are a great tonic for many people I meet who, when starting to sketch, are overcome by the feeling that their drawings aren't 'good enough' and are consequently of little value. Quilty shows that drawings don't have to be massively refined to be effective. It's enough to capture what is of interest to you.
PS please excuse the poor colour quality, as these were taken without flash. More colour-accurate versions of this exhibition can be found at Ben Quilty's website.

At the Australian War Memorial
Australian War Memorial, Copic marker, diorama, location sketch, pen and ink, watercolour
The Australian War Memorial is the most visited tourist destination in Canberra but it has been some time since I last went there. While we were actually taking a visitor to see the Memorial I realised that it would also be a great place to do some sketching. Following the advice to practice drawing people where they are likely to be doing similar things so you can build up a composite picture, I found a bench in the WWI gallery and started drawing.
The Poziere diorama
Sculpture: Frank Lynch
Painting: Louis McCubbin, Murray Griffin
I actually had my back to the Poziere diorama when I realised that the shiny partition in front of me reflected the people looking at the diorama, so I could draw them without having to look directly at anyone.
People looking at the Poziere diorama, Australian War Memorial, Copic Multiliner, graphite and watercolour, 31 December 2014
Things were going swimmingly until a guide brought his tour group between me and the partition. Then someone noticed my drawing and started apologising for being in my way, then the next person also apologised – I knew it was time to move on.
After a break we moved down into ANZAC Hall where I found plenty of space to sit and draw next to the remains of the Japanese Midget submarines that attacked ships in Sydney Harbour in 1942. The low angle allowed me to draw the somewhat dramatic view past a gun from the SMS Emden, (the target of an attack by HMAS Sydney in November 1914), up to the next level and the Landing Place Cafe.

We glanced out one of the windows and noticed a ship's bridge and gun sitting in the courtyard (as you do). So we had to check it out before we left. It turned out to be what remains of the HMAS Brisbane, which was in service from 1966 up until the 1990's. Not surprisingly this is the largest naval relic in the Memorial's collection.

Our visit today reminded me of what a wealth of interesting subjects could be found at the War Memorial. I'm planning on re-visiting it during the coming year.


Located north of Alys Beach on the shores of Camp Creek Lake in the South Walton area, this charming community offers miles and miles of natural hiking trails, trekking views, and beachfront activities amidst a wide stretch of sugary white sand along the Emerald Bay coastline. Camp Creek is located right on the Scenic 30A and is highly accessible not just from Alys Beach, but also Rosemary Beach, Inlet Beach and Seacrest.
It is the brainchild of Tom Fazio, the world-renowned golf course designer made popular by his efforts to push environment stewardship with every championship golf course design. The golf club was made semi-public in 2009, and now anyone can enjoy the 18-hole course with a full driving range at a special rate.
After a fulfilling game of golf, players can head down to the 19th Hole Grille, a popular dining spot that offers the best breakfast sandwiches in town. Whether it's a club sandwich or a basic grilled cheese sandwich that you're craving, this cute little grille house can assemble a sumptuous meal for you.
Homes in the Camp Creek area vary widely in size, style and price. They start within the affordable six-figure range and go all the way up to the multimillion-dollar range. These are situated in different communities and the most popular styles are Mediterranean, classic Southern, and Bermudan. These charming neighborhoods are extremely conducive for wholesome family vacations and are also the ideal place for those who want to raise their kids in a community with an awareness for nature.

Intelligence that Iran moving missiles by boat spurred US to send carrier strike group
Navy shore crew haul in lines as the nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln arrives at Naval Station Norfolk in Norfolk, Va.. (AP/Steve Helber)

U.S. intelligence indicated that Iran had moved short-range ballistic missiles by boat in waters off its shores, an American official said Tuesday.
By World Israel News Staff and AP
The decision to send an aircraft carrier and a group of Air Force bombers to the Middle East was based in part on intelligence indications that Iran had moved short-range ballistic missiles by boat in waters off its shores, an American official said Tuesday.
The movement, first reported by CNN, was among a range of recent indications that Iran might be considering or preparing to attack U.S. forces in the region, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss sensitive intelligence.
The official said it was not clear whether the boats with missiles represented a new military capability that could be used against U.S. forces or were only being moved to shore locations.
When the White House announced Sunday that the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group and a bomber task force were being deployed to the Middle East, John Bolton, the national security adviser to President Donald Trump, cited "troubling and escalatory indications and warnings" but did not explain what they were.
Mr. Bolton said the movement of additional military firepower to the Middle East was meant to send a "clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on the United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force."
Patrick Shanahan, the acting secretary of defense, told reporters at the Pentagon on Tuesday that he had approved the expedited movement of the Lincoln strike group and the deployment of a bomber group based on "credible reporting" on Iran.
"What you see is us getting in the right posture for that dynamic environment" in Iraq and elsewhere in the region, Mr. Shanahan said. The U.S. has about 5,200 troops in Iraq.
Mossad Intel
Israel's Channel 13 reported that the U.S. may have also been prompted to act based on intelligence it received from the Mossad indicating that Iran planned to attack U.S. forces in the Middle East.
"The United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime, but we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or regular Iranian forces," Mr. Bolton said on Sunday.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif later denied this, saying that the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were spreading lies about alleged Iranian plots against the U.S.

The European Union has expressed concern about the process and timing of the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Onnoghen.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday suspended the CJN and installed Ibrahim Tanko on an acting capacity.
The Cable reports that in a statement, the EU expressed concern over the timing of the removal, writing:
The EU Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) is very concerned about the process and timing of the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria. Honourable lustice Walter Onnoghen, on 25 January.
With 20 days until the presidential and National Assembly elections, political parties, candidates and voters must be able to have confidence in the impartiality and independence of the judicial system.
The EU EOM calls on all parties to follow the legal processes provided for in the Constitution and to respond calmly to any concerns they may have.
The UK, too, expressed concern over the process of the removal, writing in a statement:
The British High Commission expresses serious concern over the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria. We have heard a wide range of credible and independent voices, including in the Nigerian legal profession and civil society, who have expressed concern over the constitutionality of the executive branch's suspension of the chief officer of the judiciary.
We respect Nigeria's sovereign authority and its right to adjudicate on constitutional provisions but as friends of the Nigerian people, we are compelled to observe that the timing of this action, so close to national elections, gives cause for concern. It risks affecting both domestic and international perceptions on the credibility of the forthcoming elections. We, along with other members of the international community, are following developments closely.
We encourage all actors to maintain calm and address the concerns raised by this development through due process, demonstrating their commitment to respecting the constitution and the impartial administration of the rule of law. We further urge them to take steps to ensure that elections take place in an environment conducive to a free, fair and peaceful process.

Al Michaels paid his dues in broadcasting before Monday Night Football
2016By Ken Fang on 12/27/2016 12/27/2016
Al Michaels is well-established as one of the best announcers of our generation. But before he was known for major events like horse racing's Triple Crown, the NBA, Olympics, Super Bowl and World Series, he had to pay his dues in caalling minor events. Michaels joined ABC in 1976, but he had a couple cups of coffee with other networks like NBC in 1972 calling hockey during the Winter Olympic in Sapporo, Japan and the NFL on CBS with Hank Stram in 1975.
When he joined ABC, Michaels joined a staff that included Jim McKay, Keith Jackson, Chris Schenkel, Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford and others. He did get to call some of his bread-and-butter sports like baseball and college football, but he still had to call niche events for ABC and especially on its anthology show, Wide World of Sports. He did make his career with the Miracle on Ice call in the 1980, but until he reached the pinnacle with Monday Night Football in 1986, Michaels went to all corners of the United States and the world to call events for ABC.
Let's take a look at some of the events that Michaels has called. He did his share of motorsports including Formula 1 in Monaco in 1980. His partner there was Jackie Stewart.
Al was in Indianapolis for the Indy 500 Time Trials in 1982 to recount what happened to Gordon Smiley who died in a fiery crash. He was working again with Jackie Stewart.
ABC was once the home of the United States Football League, the spring football league that tried to rival the NFL when Donald Trump came on board (that's a story for another time). Before he went to calling the National Football League full-time, Michaels hosted the studio show in 1983 subbing for Jim Lampley for a week. Check out Al as a studio host.
Here's Al calling the 1984 Eldora USAC Sprint Car race for Wide World. Michaels' partner was Sam Posey.
At the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Al was assigned to call track and field and here's his call of the women's 3,000 meters which pitted Mary Decker of the U.S. against Zola Budd of South Africa. This was the infamous race in which Decker fell with a little more than three laps to go ruining her gold medal chances for good. Working with Al in this race was Marty Liquori. The race begins at 7:39 of this clip. Decker falls at 12:35.
Al was tapped by NBC to host Premier Boxing Champions over the past couple of years, but did you know that Michaels called the Marvin Hagler-Thomas Hearns fight for a pay per view audience on April 15, 1985? And Curt Gowdy was host? And Al Bernstein was Al's partner? Check this out:
So you have a a nice sampling of how Michaels called sports other than baseball and football. And you can hear him calling each quite well.

Pedersoli Brown Bess Musket
Home / Shop / Hand Gun
The Brown Bess was used by British troops during colonization of American territories. It also saw action during the War of 1812 and during the Mexican-American War. Like the originals, these smooth- bore .75-cal. flintlocks feature brass hardware, oil-stained walnut stock and steel ramrod, barrel and lock.

Pedersoli Brown Bess Musket, or "Brown Bess", is a beautifully crafted historical reproduction of the Short Land Pattern Musket. First introduced in 1722, the Land Pattern Musket became the standard issue firearm for the British Empire's Army, Navy, and Marine military divisions. While the origin of the nickname "Brown Bess" is unknown, it definitely became the commonly used name for the rifle within 50 years after its introduction. The Brown Bess served as the main weapon of the British military for decades and saw action in the Seven Years War, American Revolution, Napoleonic Wars, and Mexican-American War. The musket was so prolific that it even saw limited action as late as the American Civil War. With the invention of the percussion lock and barrel rifling becoming more popular, the flintlock production of the Brown Bess ceased in 1839 and brought an official end to the mainline production of the musket. Many of the Brown Bess muskets were converted to use a percussion ignition, allowing them to be more reliable in the field and prolonging their life of use well into the mid-1800s.
Due to the smooth bore of the musket and large .75 caliber bore, the Brown Bess could be fired 3-4 times a minute by most standard infantrymen. In later models, rifling was intentionally left out of the Brown Bess to aid in faster reloading times and less residue buildup. The smoothbore musket was notoriously inaccurate and was not effective much further than 50 yards away. This led to the mass line and volley fire tactics seen during 18th and 19th-century warfare. Grouping close together and firing in volley allowed the firearm to deal lethal damage en masse and the long length of the gun allowed it to serve effectively as a spear for bayonet charges. While the Brown Bess was not the most reliable rifle in existence at its time, the sturdy design and ease of use made it the rifle of choice for many European armies and was undeniably the gun that forged the British Empire of the 18th and 19th Centuries.
Pedersoli has done an excellent job of reproducing the Brown Bess to historical specifications with world-class craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each musket features a beautiful walnut stock with brass furniture that includes the butt plate, trigger guard, ramrod guides, and nose guard at the muzzle end of the musket. The stock is smoothly carved with an elegant and ergonomic design, allowing the gun to fit comfortably in hand. Additionally, the lock features the signature of William Grice, the noted British gunsmith, and is stamped with the year 1762, an engraving of the crown and the letters 'GR' for historical accuracy. The .75 caliber smoothbore barrel measures 41 3/4 inches and the overall length of the gun measures 57 11/16 inches long. Pedersoli has included a steel ramrod as well as two installed sling brackets that will accommodate a variety of slings. Overall, the fitment of the components along with the quality of the stock, lock, and barrel is impressive and is both smooth in function and aesthetically pleasing. Due to Pedersoli's attention to detail and world-class craftsmanship, the Pedersoli Brown Bess is certified for historical reenactments in the USA and throughout the world.
Pedersoli Brown Bess Musket is built to be fired and is ready for use in the field for a variety of applications. To fire the Brown Bess, we recommend a powder load of 70-grains of FFG black powder or black powder substitute along with a 0.735" diameter lead round ball coupled with a dry or pre-lubed shooting patch. For the flash pan, FFFFG (4FG) black powder is the best choice as it easily ignites with the spark produced from a flintlock ignition. Pedersoli has been a front runner in the muzzleloading industry for years and is one of the most trusted brands for high-quality muzzleloaders in the world. The Pedersoli Brown Bess brings one of the most iconic 18th and 19th-century firearms back to life and offers us the experience of connecting to the rich history of our past. For enthusiasts who would like the opportunity to craft their own piece of history, Pedersoli offers the Brown Bess in a build it yourself kit option that includes all of the premium quality materials and components found on the pre-assembled musket.

Q: How can I make Flash fullscreen on an external display? The question is: I have a laptop, and I extend my desktop on external display, so I get a wide desktop (3200px). When I make the videos on flash fullscreen, don't know why, but the fullscreen appears on my little part of desktop (the laptop display).
Is there any way to tell flash to play fullscreen on my bigger part?

A: Flash will enter full screen mode on your primary display. In the configuration for your dual monitor set up there should be the option to set the external as the primary display.

A: You can change your primary display temporarily with xrandr. I.e. open a terminal and run:
xrandr --output HDMI1 --primary
Where HDMI1 is the RandR output name for your external display. You can determine the name by listing all the outputs with xrandr -q. E.g. in my case, my notebook screen is DP1 and my external LCD (hooked up via DVI) is HDMI1.
Note: If this messes up the relative position of your monitors, you can fix it with something like:

BERLIN (AP) — Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz offered his "full support" on Thursday to the country's new justice minister in the face of online hatred over her Bosnian origins.
Alma Zadic is one of four ministers from the Green party in the conservative Kurz's new Cabinet, which was sworn in on Tuesday. She was the first Austrian of an immigrant background to join the government.
Zadic, whose family fled the conflict in Bosnia when she was 10, recently has faced a flood of online hatred targeting her origins. Austrian media reported that she has been given round-the-clock police protection.
Kurz wrote Thursday on Twitter that "online hatred is a repugnant phenomenon of our time. This kind of thing can have no place here!"
He added that his government "will act resolutely against hatred on the net," whatever its source, and added: "Alma Zadic & all others who are affected by it have my full support!"
Integration Minister Susanne Raab said "hatred on the net and in particular hatred against women who are well integrated in Austria and work for a harmonious life together has no place," the Austria Press Agency reported.


Taxi is probably the most conveient form of transport, it cost around S$20 (50% more of the metered rate if travel between midnight to 6am) from the airport to the hotel in the city. The MRT is located at Terminal 2 and cost around S$2 to travel from the airport to the city. Tourists arrive in Terminal 1 and 3 can take the skytrain (free) to Terminal 2. There is a free shuttle bus from the Budget Terminal to ferry visitors to Terminal 2 as well. To find out more details or other modes of transport (e.g airport shuttle, Limousines) from the airport to the city, click here or toandfromtheairport.com.
There is Free Shuttle Service available if you have more than 5 hours in transit, hop on the Free City Shuttle to the Singapore Flyer, Little India and Suntec City and get a taste of Singapore's ethnic heritage, state-of-the-art attractions and thriving retail scene. Registration available at the Singapore Visitors Centre located at Terminal 2 & 3, Arrival Hall between 0600 hrs to 1845 hrs.
A typical crowded scene in busy MRT exchangesMRT is the acronynms for Mass Rapid Transit which is the equivalent of subway or metro in other countries. The MRT are reachable to most of the popular destinations for tourists E.g. Changi airport, Orchard Road, Chinatown, Little India, HabourFront (Sentosa) and City Hall. Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, Jurong Bird Park are not accessible via MRT. MRT fares ranges from S$1 to S$2, very afforable. Note that there is a S$1 deposit which can be refunded conveiently at the ticketing booth or the control station counter. Tourists can get the Singapre Tourism Pass at selected TransitLink Ticket Offices and Singapore Visitors Centres which costs just S$8 per day and comes with the option of a 1 -Day, 2 – Day or 3- Day Pass. The Pass, if issued in Singapore, comes with a rental deposit of S$10 which is fully refundable if the card is returned within 5 days of issuance.
The MRT is packed most of the time, this picture was taken around 11am weekday on Dec 2009.
The MRT operating hours is from 0600-2400 hour (click here for detailed timing), you can get a map of the MRT network here. In case you are curious, LRT (Light Rapid Transit) is the driverless above-ground railway that serves the residents within a suburban town (we called them HDB town), not likely to be used by tourists.
In terms of social etiquette, we are in complete opposite of Japan, food and drinks are not allowed on train but talking on the phone is ok. Be warned that the MRT are packed at all hours especially on the North-South line, you can forget about getting a seat on the MRT. Some high ranking officials from STB and LTA should really look into this problem.
The Singapore Tourist Pass comes in 3 options; 1-day, 2-day or 3-day passes.
*Each pass is subjected to a $10 rental deposit which will be refunded if you return the card within 5 days after the day of purchase.
*Each pass will allow for unlimited travel on basic bus services. It excludes rides on Premium bus services such as Express, Fast Forward, Night Rider, Nite Owl, Chinatown Direct, Jurong Island and Bus Plus services.
ERP surcharge: this is equivalent to the toll charges in other countries, but Uniquely Singapore as it is a Singapore's "invention" to control traffic flow into the Central Business District (CBD) and highways. It ranges from S$0.5 to S$4 depending on the time and the number of gantries you have crossed.
Midnight surcharge: 50% surcharge over and above the meter rate, starting from 12am to 6am.
As you can see, the charges are so complicated that even the locals are not very familiar with various surcharges. This has prompted the taxi companies and government to issue a clarification in year 2008. There were many disputes arised as some tourists thought that the taxi drivers were out to cheat them. This is really unfortunate as most taxi drivers are honest people. One thing to note is that taxis are very hard to get when it rains. It used to be hard as well to get one during peak hours but the situation has improved slightly with the introduction of Peak Hour surcharge since 2008. Be warned: Very slim chance at all for taxi bookings or hail cab from the street, if there is a heavy downpour or during peak hours (7-9am, 5-8pm).
The centralised number to call for taxi booking is 6-3425-222 or tap out the alphabetical prompter 6-DIAL-CAB. Click here if you want to thank a job well done or lodge a complaint against the taxi driver.
For the tech savvy, you can download the Cab@SG or Sg Taxi (Singapore Taxi Booking) for Android / iCab@SG for iphone smartphone users. both provide a one touch number for every Singapore Taxi operators' booking numbers in one page.
Not recommended for tourist. The cost is almost the same as MRT but the waiting time could be quite long during off peak hours and crowded during peak hours. If you really want to experience it, use Gothere.sg to plan your bus journey, available for online and mobile versions. The Google Map on android phones has improved a lot since, it could be a good alternative to gothere.sg.
For bus arrival time, my personal favourite is SBS Next Bus which you can donwload it from Android market. There is no iphone version currently, the alternative is Singapore Next Bus for iphone users.
How to get to KSL City by bus?
Fancy driving around in Singapore. Our advise? Forget it. The local drivers are a bunch of aggressive drivers. Not only that they drive fast, they do not give way, do not stop upon seeing the STOP sign and beat the traffic lights. The ERP (Electronic Road Pricing), a local "invention" to manage traffic congestion, are everywhere in the central areas and some highways. If you are not familiar with the locations, it may cost you a lot especially if you are lost and will enter a number of ERPs. To use the ERP, you also need to buy a prepaid card known as CashCard which is not refundable. There is almost no free parking anywhere in the built up areas and the parking fee in CBD or Shopping areas in downtown can burn a big hole in your pocket. There are some areas in downtown and suburban towns where you may need paper parking coupons for street parking, much like the metered parking in US and Australia except that we do not have the meters here.
Now you have been warned and still want to drive, my last advise is get a GPS navigator. The basic model can go as cheap as less than S$200. Else if you have a Window Mobile phone, you can buy the mobile application from MapKing for less than US$50.
The car rental rate ranges from S$50 to S$200. You may get the online rate from Singapore Car Rental or Euro Auto Leasing.
We recommend visitors to use Gothere.sg to plan your trip in Singapore. Gothere.sg provides various modes of transportation including bus, MRT, taxi and car. Not only that it provides the route, distance and approximate fare, it also estimates the time taken for each mode of transport. The simple and user-friendly interface is a hallmark of this website. Trust us, it is even more user friendly and more reliable than Google Map Singapore.
For the tech savvy tourists, you may want to buy the mobile application to help you to navigate. If you have a Window Mobile phone, you can buy the mobile application from MapKing for less than US$50. If you have a Nokia phone, try this. For smartphone users, NavFone (free for Samsung phones), Streetdirectory(free), MapKing and Google Map (free) are good alternatives.
Many local apps have been developed for the iphone and android platform. Just type keywords such as Singapore Bus or Singapore MRT and you will likely to find many apps available in iTunes and Android Markets.


I appeared on morning drive-time radio Thursday. Listen to me on AM 630 KHOW's Mandy Connell Show discuss the teachers union's new lawsuit to ensure job placement for ineffective teachers.
In honor of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 256th birthday (January 27), here's a recent performance of his memorable Symphony No. 40, Movement 1 (Molto allegro).


Let's talk ground targets, guns and WWII aircraft.
The Operation Epsom Campaign for DCW World, has you strapped to a Spitfire in an armed recon role. The Spitfire LF Mk. IX featured can't carry bombs so you are limited to your guns.
Strafing by aircraft in WWII is a great topic that I would like to explore in this blog post.
There is probably no better book (at least in english) about WWII strafing than Colgan's Allied Strafing in World War II: A Cockpit View of Air to Ground Battle. This highly recommended book, although oriented mostly on the American P47, will help you to get into the "strafing mindset".
This blog post is focused in the Spitfire, but most of the same principles can be applied to other aircraft.
My first exhibit is a quick mission in IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Kuban, in which I'm flying a Soviet Spitfire MKVB.
In this quick mission, I strafe German targets that can't shoot back at me (artillery positions), which is great practice. A video recording of this mission is available below (please visit the YouTube version for full HD).
First things first, it is advisable not to dive down at full speed towards your target. At 03:20 in the above video, I put my engine's rpm below the 3,000 mark.
At which speed to strafe? It depends on the aircraft. According to Colgan's book for the P47 it was 270 mph. High speed dives result in a very unstable aim, a lack of time to correct it and off course the danger of hitting the ground. For the Spitfire, I find a speed of 220 mph as the one that allows one to aim properly.
In Colgan's book there is a mention of the so-called "boresight speed" (08:34 in the video above), which is the optimal speed to strafe. It all has to do with the harmonization of the guns (at which distance they converge), and the amount of time that the target is kept at that distance. The higher the speed, the shorter that fraction of time you have to pull the trigger.
It takes some practice, but it will come to you: the "sight picture" (how big the target looks like compared to the sight). At 10:26 in the video above, I can distinguish some features of my target. At this distance, it is rare to miss hitting a target. In this particular scenario (the ground target can't fire at me) I wait until the target is really close to unleash my cannon rounds.
At 10:30, my rounds come out. Note how I'm not hosing or walking my rounds towards the target. One has to remember that a very few seconds of firing are available. So don't waste ammo. In this case, since the ground target can't fire back, I have no problem getting very close to it before shooting with a lot of precision. This will prove different when you are confronting AAA, though.
Pulling out at ~70 feet was standard practice. In this case, I pulled out from the dive very early.
Another good piece of advice is to not get too fixated with the target. If you see it hit, just pull out from the dive. Depending on the situation, as soon as you see the rounds hit the ground, it is time to pull out.
Other thing that affects your pull out altitude is how much your aircraft mushes. I haven't noticed too much tendency for that in the Spitfire, so I just enjoy the Gs.
Now, when the ground targets are shooting at you. Well, that's a whole new game.
Let's move onto DCS Normandy. I created a practice mission featuring a flight of Spitfire LF Mk. IXs against two German AAAs.
In the following video, I am against a Flakvierling 38 and another garden-variety flak 88 (the latter didn't worry me too much as it needs a lot of time to acquire a target).
I started this mission very high. I reduced the rpms of the engine to make sure my airspeed was relatively low and then I started a shallow dive towards the field in which my targets awaited.
At 00:25, I am trimming my elevator and rudder for the dive. This is very important to stabilize the airframe and ensure good aiming by means of trimming rather than simply stick and rudder pushes.
At 00:37, at least the 88 is visible in the field below. The Flakvierling 38 becomes visible a second or so later in the video (it was visible in the simulation a few seconds before but the video compression ate it).
At 00:42, I shoot a few rounds, which impact all spread without hitting my target. Four seconds later, the target is clearly visible and my shooting becomes more precise. The Flakvierling is hit and gone (see the black smoke below in the fly-by view at 00:54).
For this mission, I started firing way before than in the previous one. The reasoning is that in this case, the threat is significantly higher.
I hope you enjoyed this blog post. I will continue practicing and hopefully getting more success in Operation Epsom.
So cool! I've watched a lot of color gun cam footage of P47's strafing targets in Europe. It's incredible the amount of firepower unleashed by 8 .50 cals. Also the precision with which they were aiming... some tried to target tanks by bouncing AP rounds off the ground and up into the soft bottom. Some of the footage was a little scary, like when they would have to take out horse drawn wagons full of ammo. I felt sad for the horses.
Bloody hell, games nowadays looks positively unbeliavable!


I bought a Groupon voucher for a NanoLite MP3 player. I was unable to redeem my voucher. When I contacted Groupon, they advised me I'd be able to redeem my voucher after 1st December – guess what? I still can't redeem my voucher and I'm getting no response from Groupon now. Has anyone else had this problem?
This is my second complaint to Groupon and had no reply, I received my 3 Groupon vouchers 24/11/11 for an offer for swarovski studs from Vanamsteldiamond I have sent 4 emails and having no luck with help to order these as on line not excepting my voucher codes, not only my but 3 other people have tryed this, I have spend alot of money with Groupon and don't think after this experience will order anything else, I would like a full refund, as having no help with this.
I have purchased house cleaning service on your web, from the company 'Clean Co Homes ' on 08 September 2011. Voucer code 1/1023, secure code 3ae0186803. I was unsecsesfull to get my carpet cleaned, as the company never replies to my phone calls. Last week I submitted the claim against the company, the same day the cleaner have contacted me and arranged to clean the carpets today on 17 Ocotber 2011 at 11.00. I took a day off from work, but cleaner did not turn up, even did not contacted me and did not answer my phone calls.
I require refund in full, as I really disappointed that groupon have such offers from dishonest businesses. I lost one day pay, which cost me £70. Please issue me refund in full, as I am no longer interested in such 'great' saving! Many thanks in advance for your quick response.

Toponymie
Le nom de la localité est attesté sous les formes Telliol en 1082, de Telliolo en 1158.

Forme ancienne Telliolum.

Issu du latin tilia, le tilleul était désigné en ancien français til ou teil. Le toponyme semble formé à partir de ce dernier terme.

Histoire
La châtellenie du Teilleul remonte au  et semble n'avoir vécu que deux siècles. La première trace écrite d'une souveraineté au Teilleul apparait avec Unsfrield, dit le Danois (Unfred le Danois ou Unfrid le Danois), terre donnée par Guillaume Longue-Épée pour le zèle de ces preux chevaliers (933). Ces terres furent érigées en baronnie.

C'est à partir de ce moment que la ville se fortifie : Massif formidable de tours, de contreforts, de fort et de créneaux, dominant la vallée et présentant le flanc au tertre de Montécot. L'une des issues des remparts est nommée « la Basse-Porte ».

Robert du Teilleul donna aux moines d'Ouches l'église du Teilleul et plusieurs fiefs : Terra in quaest templum Sancti Petri quom Robertus de Rodeland (Ruddlam) olamabat ad Teiland.

Alors seigneurie d'Omfroy-du-Teilleul, son château-fort fut l'un des quatre pris par Geoffroy, comte d'Anjou courant .

En 1169 et 1173, la ville fut brûlée par des rebelles dans les guerres entre Matthieu comte de Boulogne Hascouet de Saint Hilaire et les troupes de , roi d'Angleterre, sous les ordres de Robert de Fougères : Castrum Tellioli traditit incendio. Robert-du-Mont dit que ce fut ce dernier qui incendia Le Teilleul.

La sergenterie d'Ouessey était un demi-fief de Haubert, la charte de Navarre 1401 dit : Un demi-fief, le fief d'Ouessey, le chef, assis au Teilleul, appartenant à Jéhan d'Ouessey, écuyer, tenu de Guillaume le Sotherel, écuyer, à cause de la barronerie des Biard, vault le renvenue de C livres.

En 1418, Jean d'Ouessey se soumet au roi anglais ce que ne fait pas Geffroy d'Ouessey, époux de Catherine d'Harcourt, ses biens sont confisqués et donnés à Nicolas Burdet.

Une tempête s'abat le , renversant bon nombre d'arbres et de demeures.

Le , le bourg est incendié par quelques centaines de Chouans qui mettent le feu aux maisons afin de faire sortir les gardes nationaux et volontaires retranchés. Ce qui met  sans abri.

Le , à , une météorite, d'un poids de , de type achondrite howardite AHOW, tombe à la Vivionère.

En 1801, la commune fait partie de l'arrondissement de Mortain. En 1926, elle passe sous celui d'Avranches.

En 1944, Le Teilleul est bombardé du  au .

En 2016, la commune s'associe à d'autres communes pour former une commune nouvelle, Le Teilleul. L'ancienne commune prend alors le statut de commune déléguée.

Plus précisément, le , Le Teilleul fusionne avec quatre autres communes, formant la commune du Teilleul créée sous le régime juridique des communes nouvelles instauré par la loi  du  de réforme des collectivités territoriales.

L'église Saint-Patrice

La paroisse de Saint-Patrice, existant avant la construction du château, remonte à l'évangélisation du pays vers le . L'église primitive est détruite lors de l'invasion des Normands et est reconstruite à la même place. L'église Saint-Patrice et ses dépendances sont données par la suite à l'abbaye de Savigny.

L'église baptismale fut construite à l'actuel lieu-dit Saint-Patrice après accord de l'abbé de Savigny (vers 1204-1212). Un cimetière se situa au château pour y enterrer ses morts. Il ne reste de cette église que deux piliers de la porte d'entrée. Le presbytère de cette église se situait au lieu-dit actuel la Chérulière. Elle était construite en arête de poisson (opus piscatum).

Ce fief ecclésiastique gardera son siège jusqu'en 1851. C'est aussi cette année qu'elle est détruite et dépouillée lors de la Révolution.

L'actuelle église Saint-Patrice, inscrite aux monuments historiques le , abrite la statuette de saint Patrice le saint patron de cette église. Les fonts baptismaux et leur couvercle sont classés au titre objet.

Shinah or shanah means transformation or change, idiomatically "year" since time is measured by duration. In its most abstract formulation, the impact of cosmic movement on individual existences is (produces) life.
Oulam (Ayn-Lammed-Mem) projects the "whole" defined as the actuation in life of all possibilites. Oulam introduces the first Ayn in the Sefer Yetzirah, as energy steps down and spreads out to define the "Universe" of all possible possibilities and the ultimate stake of the game of life.
Shinah (Sheen-Noun-Hay) is the change/transformation that creates life, based in cosmic movement/Ruahh Elohim.

Climate Contributions
Ford & Ford, P.A.
This submission reflects this organization's contribution to the climate effort, representative of their current actions and commitments as well as the ways in which they intend to step up and collaborate with others.
Ford & Ford, P.A.'s Climate Action Contribution
About Ford & Ford, P.A.'s Climate Efforts
At Ford & Ford, we know that the externalities of carbon emissions—runaway temperatures, sea-level rise, and ocean acidification—are not priced into the extraction, transportation, and consumption of carbon in the market. We know that this lack of pricing makes carbon artificially competitive and thereby distorts the behaviors of market actors—from the person filling up the tank of a family car to the commissioner approving the next carbon-based power plant.
We are combining the best practices of our firm and the private market decisions of our personal lives to contribute to the solutions our vulnerable coastal community needs. While some incumbent industries spend time and money attempting to capture legislative and regulatory bodies at the state and federal level, we believe that other firms can send market signals strong enough to overcome cash distortions of the public will. This firm will do what we have always done—lead toward progress by example. To do our part, Ford & Ford has committed to the following actions in support of America's goals under the Paris Agreement:
Renewable Energy Credits (RECs): RECs are the quantified and priced environmental benefits associated with the generation of 1MWh of renewable energy. Ford & Ford has committed to purchase RECs equivalent to 100% of our power consumption for firm operations every year from 2017 forward. Our voluntary purchases of RECs through the nonprofit Terrapass will fund the displacement of carbon emissions and the construction of the generation, storage, and transmission systems of the future. The purchase of RECs is a market signal representing our firm's willingness-to-pay for generation of clean energy.
Carbon Offsets: Through the nonprofit Cool Effect, Ford & Ford has committed to purchase enough carbon offsets to achieve net-zero carbon emissions from 2017 forward, including operations of the firm's office and all transportation-related emissions for attorneys and staff. Carbon offsets help companies address the fact that not all emissions can be reduced to zero. For those emissions that are impossible to reduce, the purchase of offsets puts a company's resources toward reducing carbon somewhere else—for example, by capturing and burning methane at landfills, by constructing new sources of clean energy generation such as wind farms, or by improving forest management to protect natural capture of carbon. Ford & Ford's carbon offsets support the development of wind energy in Costa Rica.
Energy Demand Management: Ford & Ford recognizes that small behavioral shifts—when aggregated—can make a difference. We have programmed all computer hard drives and monitors to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity. We also pay a premium over alternatives to ensure that only LED bulbs are installed in ceiling lights and lamps officewide. We are committed to purchasing only Energy Star certified appliances.
Sustainable Supplies: The practice of law is highly computerized, but paper is nonetheless still necessary for what we do. Ford & Ford has committed to purchasing only Forest Stewardship Council certified paper containing 100% post-consumer recycled content for our standard in-house printing.
Electric Transport: Ford & Ford attorneys closely follow developments in the electric vehicle industry. We are committed to leveraging the investment decisions and purchase decisions of our private lives in combination with the market choices of the firm to accelerate the decarbonization of transportation and commerce in the U.S.
Climate Action Commitments
Current Climate Actions Ford & Ford, P.A. Is Taking:
Commit to Responsible Engagement in Climate Policy
While individual organization action is necessary, local and federal government action is also needed to reach global climate goals. Your organization can have a critical voice in advancing public policy. A commitment to responsible engagement in climate policy means that your organization commits to supporting public policy to: promote energy efficiency and renewable energy; increase investment in a clean energy economy; support climate change adaptation, or put a price on carbon.
Commit to Building Climate Resilience in your Community
By committing to adapt to the impacts of a changing climate, companies and institutions can secure their operations and supply chains and conserve natural resources that are stressed due to climate change. While there is much a business can do within their community, primary among these options is reducing water usage. Organizations can commit to increase their own water security through a range of actions, including installing water-saving devices, capturing rainwater for onsite uses, and recycling grey water. Or just commit to get engaged with your community in resilience planning.
Commit to Reducing the Climate Impact of Your Transportation
Organizations making a commitment to reduce the climate impact of transportation should consider practices such as measuring transportation greenhouse gas emissions and setting reduction targets, switching fuels, optimizing the efficiency of shipping operations, and reducing transit- and travel-related greenhouse gas emissions. Businesses can develop a green transportation action plan to map the movement of goods to market and identify opportunities to increase efficiency. Organizations can buy hybrid and electric vehicles within their own fleet, and can reduce the footprint of their workforce through incentivizing public transportation, installing EV charging stations, promoting telework, and locating near transit centers.
Commit to Increase Your Use of Renewable Power
Increasing your percentage of renewable energy sources is a key component of reducing overall GHG emissions. Installing onsite renewable generation, like solar panels, is a good long-term strategy if possible. But renewable energy can also be procured through Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), renewable power purchasing agreements (PPAs), and in some locations from retail electricity providers or local utilities that offers a high percentage of renewable power. Also consider becoming an EPA Green Power Partner.
Commit to Increase Energy Efficiency
Most companies begin by assessing energy usage or performing an energy audit to identify opportunities to increase energy efficiency throughout their facilities and operations. Energy reduction targets can be framed as either absolute reductions or reductions that are normalized per unit of production, such as per tons shipped, per dollars of revenue produced, or other relevant business metric. Some examples of commitments that can be taken include:
Conducting an energy audit or request a meeting with your building owner to explore scheduling an audit
Upgrading HVAC system to a more efficient model
Upgrading lights in your office/facility to LEDs
Upgrading insulation and windows
Replacing appliances in your office with Energy Star-rated models
Instituting a company policy of turning off lights other electronics when not in use.
Commit to Understand and Reduce Your Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Understanding your GHG emissions is the first step to making measurable reductions in those emissions. The EPA provides an overview report and CoolClimate Network provides a simple tool for "low emitters" to better understand sources of emissions, as well as how to use that information to set reduction targets. For this commitment, it is as simple as committing to complete a greenhouse gas inventory for your business or oganization, but in the future your inventory can be used to make a commitment to set a specific goal, such as "reduce GHG emissions by 50% by 2025.
Integrate Climate Change into Portfolio Analyses and Decision-Making
Commit to integrate climate change-related risks and opportunities in portfolio analysis and decision-making processes through one or more of the following:
Analyzing and assessing climate change-related risks and opportunities (e.g. through carbon footprinting, scenario analysis).
Making commitments and setting targets (e.g. to carbon footprint reduction, to enhanced portfolio resilience, to decarbonization, including via the Portfolio Decarbonization Coalition).
Investing in low carbon investment funds and other products (e.g. low carbon indices, climate-aligned bonds).
New Climate Actions Ford & Ford, P.A. Commits To Take:
Commit to Reduce Short-lived Climate Pollutant Emissions
Short-lived climate pollutants—such as black carbon, methane, tropospheric ozone, and hydrofluorocarbons—are powerful climate warmers many times more potent than CO2 over their lifetimes. Because they are short-lived in the atmosphere, actions to reduce these super pollutants can have substantial, near-term climate, agricultural and health benefits and are an essential complement to CO2 reduction strategies. Policy-makers can announce regulatory or voluntary approaches to drastically reduce SLCPs, such as developing methane strategies or adopting rules on use of warming HFCs. Organizations can commit to engage with suppliers to provide training, conduct pollutant inventories, and establish systems for tracking, measuring, and monitoring these types of emissions. Analysis shows that SLCP emissions can be cost-effectively reduced by an estimated 40-50 percent by 2030.
Policymakers, companies and organizations are encouraged to accept the #SLCPChallenge of the U.S. Climate Alliance, which calls for ambitious action on SLCPs. Feel free to elaborate on your work towards reduction, along with your other efforts, in the "Other Commitments" field below.
Commit to Remove Commodity-driven Deforestation from Supply Chains
Restoring our forest's ability to store carbon on a global scale is a critical and cost-effective climate mitigation solution. Making a commitment to eliminate deforestation means setting targets to assure key commodities in your supply chain (like palm, soy, beef, paper and pulp) are from deforestation-free sources. An ideal target could be to establish a disclosure and reporting plan for your supply chain and/or conversion to 100% deforestation-free commodities by 2020.
Commit to Reduce Climate Impacts of Packaging and Reducing Waste
There are many ways to reduce the climate impact of packaging including reducing materials (i.e., "source reduction"); replacing virgin materials with post-consumer recycled content; replacing traditional plastics made from fossil fuels with biopolymers; re-designing packaging to be more compact and therefore efficient for transport and storage; using biodegradable packing materials; and recycling at end of the packaging's life to name just a few practices.
Commit to the Natural and Working Lands Challenge
The natural systems upon which we depend are essential to life and critical for reducing the impacts of climate change on our communities. These systems are also under threat from human activity and climate change. Maintaining the resilience of natural and working lands is an important part of any GHG emission reduction strategy. It is also important to securing the well-being of communities, economies and ecosystems. Actions that secure and enhance the "carbon base," such as land conservation, restoration, and improved management, also support watersheds and food systems, improve air quality, protect against urban heat islands and sea level rise, and preserve the beauty and function of natural areas and parks. Those that accept the NWL Challenge should commit to securing natural and working lands as a resilient net sink of carbon. This will take different forms for different actors. For example, local, sub-national and national jurisdictions might take a broad approach like that of the U.S. Climate Alliance. Landowners and managers may wish to focus on restoration and implementing climate-smart practices on their own lands. Businesses may look at their supply chains and customers as potential partners, and incorporate natural and working goals into their own climate change commitments and strategies.
The U.S. Climate Alliance States commit to taking actions that will reduce GHG emissions and increase carbon sequestration in forests, farms, rangelands, wetlands and urban greenspace, and integrating these pathways into state GHG mitigation plans by 2020. The Natural and Working Lands Challenge calls on other states, cities, nations, tribes, businesses and others to make the same commitment within their organizations. Feel free to elaborate on your work towards this challenge, along with your other efforts, in the "Other Commitments" field below.

Both clinician and patient decisions influence the choices about the type of treatment a patient will receive for localized prostate and kidney (renal) cancer. Matthew Cooperberg, MD, MPH is conducting an ongoing research program to study national prostate cancer management trends, based on data from CaPSURE and other sources. His analyses have looked at changes in cancer risk over time, testing and treatment for prostate cancer, local variation in treatment, and the impact of socio-demographic factors on type of treatment and outcomes. Through the creation of a San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH) prostate cancer patient registry, preliminary analysis show that low socioeconomic status patients are treated for a higher percentage of high-risk disease than patients with a higher socioeconomic status. Using data from CaPSURE, the NCDB, SFGH and in collaboration with the Urologic Diseases in America project he continues to explore these topic in depth.
Properly treating prostate cancer requires determining how likely is it that the cancer will progress. Cooperberg led the team that developed the UCSF-CAPRA score, a prostate cancer risk assessment tool that has been validated in several multi-institutional studies in the U.S. and Europe. CAPRA predicts biochemical recurrence-free survival (PSA level does not rise) after radical prostatectomy with an accuracy at least as good as more mathematically complex nomograms that require complex tables or computer software to calculate and other risk assessment instruments. The score is easy to calculate, and can be used to predict an individual's likelihood of metastasis, cancer-specific mortality, and overall mortality after treatment by surgery, radiation therapy, or androgen deprivation therapy.
Cooperberg is currently developing a post-operative extension of the CAPRA score (CAPRA-S). After surgery additional information is available from the pathologist's analysis of the removed prostate. This information can help identify men who will benefit from additional therapy such as radiation and/or hormonal therapy after surgery. CAPRA-S will help in that decision making process. Cooperberg is also collaborating with a group of Japanese scientist to develop a prediction instrument specifically applicable to high-risk patients and patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy (J-CAPRA). As new biomarkers, such as genomic and advanced imaging data, are proven valid by UCSF Urology and collaborating laboratory investigators, Cooperberg plans to integrate the information into the current standard measures of risk and outcomes to improve risk assessment. These findings will help men determine with greater confidence whether active surveillance, surgery, radiation, hormonal therapy, or some combination may be most appropriate for them.
Because accurate risk assessment is essential to compare the effectiveness of different prostate cancer treatments, Cooperberg is currently conducting such comparison studies using CaPSURE data. These data will provide a unique source of insight for future comparative effectiveness research.
Cooperberg is collaborating on a project that will lead to better clinical care for cancer survivors. His efforts have helped to develop UCSF's Urologic Oncology Database (UODB) into a comprehensive data repository for clinical information about patients treated for prostate, bladder, and renal cancers. With the Urology Department's information experts Cooperberg is developing an automated process to further augment UODB by automatically transferring data from the UCSF Medical Center's information system into UODB. In collaboration with UCSF Breast Oncology and a health care web services company Cooperberg is developing an electronic survey for cancer patients. Patients will complete a health history and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) survey prior to their first visit to the clinic and at defined intervals after treatment. This effort is expected to help patients and clinicians track HRQOL outcomes, such as urinary and sexual function, after treatment. The survey will help physicians to identify those patients who may need to be seen in clinic more or less frequently.
In collaboration with the laboratory of John Kurhanewicz, PhD, Cooperberg is conducting a study to see if magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) can be used to non-invasively diagnosis small renal tumors. MRS is a specialized technique associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRS equipment can be used to pick up signals from different chemical nuclei within the body. A preliminary laboratory study is using tissue to identify the specific MRS signals associated with a variety of renal tumors. Once renal tumor signals have been identified, Cooperberg plans to test the ability of MRS to accurately analyze renal tumors in patients. This will be done by using MRS imaging technology on patients who are already scheduled for renal cancer surgery prior to their operation. The pre and post surgery information can be analyzed to determine if the information collected non-invasively by the MRS technology matches the histology and grade of the actual tumor.
