Joseph Hirshhorn came to Canada in 1933, drawn by opportunities in gold mining. He was an unabashed promoter and entrepreneur who announced his arrival with a full page advertisement in The Northern Miner, entitled "My Name is Opportunity and I Am Paging Canada."
Canada answered the call, and Hirshhorn went on to have a remarkable career in the country's mining industry. He financed not only the discovery and development of the Blind River uranium field in Ontario his major accomplishment but also contributed towards the development of numerous other Canadian mines.
Hirshhorn was born in Jukst, Latvia. Seven years later, his widowed mother brought him and five siblings to the United States. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Hirshhorn sold newspapers on the street to help support his mother. He left school at age 15 to begin work as a messenger boy on Wall Street, and the financial markets soon became his life.
By age 29, Hirshhorn reportedly had accumulated $4 million. He was a shrewd speculator who sold all his stocks before the 1929 stock market collapse, and took an interest in Canadian mining after the gold price rose to US$35 an ounce in 1932.
In Canada, Hirshhorn met prospectors Fred Marshall and Arthur Cockshutt who were selling units in the Little Longlac Syndicate they had organized to develop a gold discovery near Geraldton, Ontario. Hirshhorn bought 200 units for a total of $2,000, which he sold for $500,000 after a mine was found.
Hirshhorn provided mining engineer Robert Bryce with much of the required financing to bring the Macassa gold mine in the Kirkland Lake camp into production. He also helped Doug Wright develop the Preston East Dome mine in the Porcupine camp. This mine elevated Hirshhorn's status from "buccaneer" to "corporate captain", and served as his principal source of capital for his crowning achievement, the Blind River uranium field of Ontario.
In 1949, Hirshhorn sensed that uranium mining would become important and began an association with Dr. Franc Joubin to develop uranium interests. The work was carried out by Technical Mine Consultants (TMC), a company Hirshhorn had formed to handle the technical aspects of his mining activities.
The first uranium success was the Rix property in Saskatchewan, which was developed in 1952 into the small, but profitable, Rix Athabaska mine. TMC's activities in the province also led to the acquisition of La Ronge copper gold deposit, which later became the profitable Anglo Rouyn mine.
TMC's main achievements were the discovery and definition of the Blind River Algoma uranium district, and the subsequent development of eight of the eventual 12 uranium mines in that region: the Pronto, Nordic, Quirke No. 1, Quirke No. 2, Buckles, Spanish American, Panel and Milliken. TMC also brought the Pater copper cobalt mine into production in this area.
Hirshhorn's primary role was to provide funding which, for the Blind River developments, ultimately approached $250 million before an overall deal was made with Rio Tinto. In the 1980s, an analyst estimated that TMC's Blind River discoveries had added some $30 billion to the Canadian economy. This achievement owes much to Hirshhorn's drive and energy, and his faith in Canada's mineral potential.
An enquiring mind, skill as a field geologist and the desire to find orebodies led Walter Holyk to make an outstanding contribution to the understanding of the genesis of volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits. Learn More

Australian Manufacturing Week 2022 to be held in Sydney in June
September 14, 2021 NewsAlexandra Cooper
Image credit: AMTIL
AMTIL (Australian Manufacturing Technology Institute Limited) has announced next year's Australian Manufacturing Week (AMW) exhibition will relocate and reschedule from Melbourne in March to Sydney in June.
The AMTIL Board's decision was taken in response to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in Victoria and the resultant uncertainty over the viability of large public events so early in 2022.
"The AMTIL Board met last week and made the very difficult decision not to proceed with the show in its current March 2022 timeslot," AMTIL chief executive officer Shane Infanti said.
"Despite the great support we have for the exhibition from all our exhibitors, recent developments relating to the COVID-19 Delta strain have created an unpredictable environment that we felt had the potential to seriously jeopardise the event given that it is so early in the New Year."
AMTIL is now moving forward with plans for AMW to be held on 7-10 June 2022 at the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney). AMTIL is confident that by June, the current COVID-19 outbreak will have been contained and high vaccination levels will allow the staging of large public events.
"The AMTIL Board felt that the return of exhibitions is an important step in our COVID recovery plan and that there remains a very strong appetite for a show at some stage in 2022," Infanti said.
"We explored a number of options in regard to shows over the coming two years. Running AMW in June at the ICC Darling Harbour would represent a return to Sydney since we last ran Austech there in 2012, and reflects strong local demand for a significant manufacturing event."
AMTIL are confident that the COVID-19 implications for an event mid next year will be minimal.
Looking further ahead, AMW 2023 will also take place in its usual May time slot in Melbourne, running from 9-12 May 2023 at the MCEC.
"This is planned to be one of the largest exhibitions of its type in the Southern Hemisphere," Infanti said.
"We are truly excited to be bringing this to the Australian manufacturing sector. For both of these events, the industry can be confident of receiving the same great support and service that manufacturers have come to expect from AMTIL over 20-plus years of running trade shows."
Australian Manufacturing Week is Australia's premier manufacturing solutions event, an industry exhibition encompassing all aspects of manufacturing in Australia. Since 2000, AMTIL has operated Austech, Australia's premier advanced manufacturing and machine tool exhibition, which has now been incorporated into the AMW exhibition.

Social media is a huge platform to connect to one other nowadays, as the technology is increasing day by day; it is very easy for people to communicate with each other even with the long distance gap, also in the busy schedule we are unable to meet people physically, so we communicate with them through these social media. Not only communication, as we get updated with the world and one can also find that what his/her competitors are doing. Thus there are many reasons for using social media for any business.
There are many more examples which shows how important is social media for different type of businesses. For example a small business want to reach to a wide audience, through it's blogs sharing and its brand promotion with social media, people will get to know what the firm is providing and also the customer reach will increase with minimum resources.
Through social media you can easily judge your customers or audience, for example through Facebook insights you can easily analyse which type of audience in age or gender like your posts more and also which type of subjects they like and want to know. Through this you can easily reach them with their interests and whenever you post their interest they will definitely want to know about your product or brand.
In social media sites like Facebook and Twitter you can easily target the location through the demographic feature provided, you can also select languages of your choice and also to specific gender which will filter your reach and makes it easy for you to target audience of your business.
Social media also helps you to increase your new customers; let say a restaurant owner can easily target its nearby customers by providing to special discounts to them. After some time they will get habitual to the restaurants food, then one can also give discount whenever they came with their new friends first time. Thus this will give a huge increase in the customers.
Through social media you can easily knows the customer feedback, as which product is they like more and which product is being neglected by them. One can also finds the customer needs or services they want to be fulfilled by the company. The very best example is when you are launching a new product, then you can simultaneously get the feedback from your previous customers and what are their reactions, do they want some modification or they are satisfied with the launched product.
Through the social media monitoring you can easily rank yourself among the competitors and also analyse and observe what extra efforts are your competitors are doing, how you can improve yourself and what are the points you are lacking in getting the particular reach you want.
Last but not the least through social media you can suddenly increase your website traffic and search ranking. All the traffic in your social media can be redirected to your website.

Hacker who leaked Madonna's Rebel Heart sentenced to 14 months in prison
Israeli hacker learns what happens when you mess with Madge
by Pat Levy
on July 09, 2015, 3:55pm
Back in December of 2014, Israeli hacker Adi Lederman released onto the world wide web a number of demos and versions-in-progress from Madonna's at-the-time-upcoming album Rebel Heart. (You remember, the album that arrived with bad Instagram art and that you probably listened to half of one time?) Lederman was arrested in January of this year after a lengthy investigation handled in tandem by the FBI and Israeli Police forces. Now, he's learned what happens when you mess with Madge, having received a 14-month prison sentence.
Lederman was found guilty of computer trespassing, copyright infringement, prohibited secret monitoring, and obstructing investigation. According to court documents obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, he had hacked into the cloud accounts of several associates of Madonna as well as her manager, and had in fact previously stolen a song from Madonna in 2012, which he sold rather than leaking himself. He's also been fined NIS 15,000 (which equates to $4,000 US).
As a result of the leak, Madonna scrambled to put out the material that was closest to being finished, releasing nearly half of the album early. She eventually released the entire album months ahead of schedule. In the end, Rebel Heart wasn't a terribly good album, albeit a bit rushed, and is in fact Madonna's worst selling record of the last 20 years.
God bless her try-hard soul, though; she still manages to do cool things, like tapping Amy Schumer to open her three New York dates on the Rebel Heart tour.

PRODUCING AND CURATING ALTERNATIVE WORDS, ALTERNATIVE ART AND ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE.
We are a live arts collective with a wide circle of collaborators, bringing to life the best performances audiences looking for more. We come from various artistic backgrounds and work beyond them, blending individual art forms to create something new.
Colliding Lines produce high quality, cross-disciplinary live shows and projects that draw together artists from different fields, including dance, music, spoken word, interactive theatre and film. Together we publish, promote and curate new collaborations, taking joy in creative risks and producing work that matters. By working collectively, we create a space for artists to develop and innovate, exploring new ideas and unfamiliar territories together. However diverse, the unifying characteristics of every Colliding Lines performance or project are that they are immersive, challenging, and unique.
Our live productions are major-scale projects developed closely between artist, performer and facilitator. With a five year history of delivering live events – from interactive film scores to festival stages to live installations – we curate each aspect of our programme and performance to a high standard, with special attention paid to the aesthetic quality of an event. We believe in the power of challenging situations to catalyse great performance and exciting art; the edge present in improvisation creates a friction between intention and action that surprises artists into producing unforeseen work. If it feels fresh and exciting for the performers, it feels fresh and exciting for the audience.
Colliding Lines also work as an independent label commissioning and publishing experimental literature, interactive art objects and collaborative live sessions on film and record. We sell bespoke, limited edition physical releases created by our artists for you, as well as publish a growing range of zines, music and prints. We sell digital downloads of our favourite live recordings and studio sessions, or give them away for free on music streaming services – Spotify, Google Play and Apple Music.
Our commitment is to making live art engaging for as wide an audience as possible. Good art is about inviting audiences in and creating immersive, emotionally resonant experiences that stay with you. Whether it's music, dance, film, spoken word or all of the above, we want to share it with you.
Colliding Lines is composed of international artists with roots in Cambridge UK, now based across Europe. A wide circle of collaborators make our work possible, from supporting artists to sound technicians, photographers and promoters. We have no fixed geographical area, with operatives stationed in London, Edinburgh, Leipzig and Lisbon.
The collective was founded by Wesley Freeman-Smith, and developed conceptually in collaboration with Abi Palmer.

Attached are a couple of Corsair profiles I made recently. The second one was commissioned by Warbird Digest magazine, while the first is an adaptation of one commissioned by them earlier this year.
They look absolutely awesome. The very subtle bump map really brings it to life.
You still doing all your textures with Photoshop or have you moved over to a 3D painting program these days ?
Looks really nice. Wanted to ask the same question as kevin :-) Heared spec and bump maps are still necessary to do in Photoshop.
The Corsair is entirely old school and the F4U-7 doesn't even exist in 3D. I deformed the nose of the F4U-1D model to give me a basis for shading, then drew the rest in 2D.
But funny you ask about 3D painting programs as I have finally taken my texturing to the next level. I have just completed my first project using the Substance Painter trial and I must say it's a huge time saver. What took days before, now takes hours. I was worried my video card would not be up to it, but my ageing Quadro did just fine (except that I was limited to 4K export, which was not a problem this time around).
I will not be replacing my texturing methods with it (to avoid the risk of my models looking like "typical" SP-painted models), but rather augmenting them. It's great for camouflage patterns (no tedious lining up over seams) and weathering especially, but not so much for panel lines and markings (where greater accuracy is a must). With the latest version of SP you can export multi-layer PSD files, which is very useful.
SP has various export options for different softwares and render engines and these are most useful and work excellent as long as you use the right gamma (2.2 for diffuse, 1.0 for ior, that sort of thing) and with normal maps you really need to double-check what is the accurate channel order for your render engine. I found it necessary to invert the green channel in my case.
Thanks Skyraider for the post. Interesting to hear where your at with your current texturing methods.
I've purchased the indie version of SP and it only cost $75 a year to keep it going so hoping to use it more in the future. I also own 3D coat and that is also pretty good with its smart materials. So still in two minds about which way to go but will learn both in the meantime till I figure it out. I agree with you about timesaver, it is huge and doing things like mottled camouflage in 3d is so much easier.
I've always found doing exhaust stains across wing and fuselage uvs painful in 2d where as in 3D very nice seamless results.
For bump maps though, the old fashioned photoshop 16bit grayscale is the way to go and import that into SP or 3DC.
SP is great for augmenting your existing texture workflow, however as the human eye is great at picking out patterns you'll always have to do quite a bit of manual labour to break these. There is only so much procedurals, even multi-layered ones, can do.
Substance is starting to be used in film now as well, we used it quite extensively on Pacific Rim 2 for the Jaegers.
Still, a lot of texturing is still going to be done in MARI as well as it handles multi-UDIM assets a lot more efficiently once you go over a certain amount of UDIM's.
As Ronnie pointed out both MARI and Substance are not that suitable for panel lines yet, photoshop has some very powerful tools up it's sleeve for that but once you get to over 4 UDIM's it becomes a royal pain to manage.
Substance also has some very lovely bakers for mesh information which can be used to great effect in MARI as basis for masks and such.

Hokage Ryos Path
H.R.P Chapter 139: Battle of Kikyo Pass (1)
While Konoha dealt with their own affairs, the Sand and the Rock were getting ready to attack them.
Onoki and Rasa have long awaited the arrival of Ryo and the other, as they were confident this time in their ability to crush the entirety of Konoha's forces.
The two looked at the two figures behind them and laughed, and the two figures also showed a smile.
Onoki took his sweet time planning for this Battle. Before the Rock's final battle with the Cloud, Minato took back all his Ninjas, making the Rock face the Cloud on their own.
In that war, The Rock had thousands of casualties, and Onoki and Han were severely wounded.
By the end of it, their troops in the Lightning Country were to be annihilated, if it wasn't for the Cloud not being too eager to persue, because of the destruction their village received during the War.
Onoki, who escaped the fangs of death, had a new hatred born within him. While their previous battles against Konoha were mainly for resources, now, he was seeking a bloodbath.
To fulfill his revenge, Onoki thought for a while before finally deciding to join forces with other villages to face Konoha. Konoha was leaving the war as the greatest beneficiary, and no village was prepared to accept that.
Unfortunately for Onoki, the Cloud Village was destroyed, and the 3rd Raikage died at the Rock's hands. The Cloud would certainly not want to fight again with the Rock.
As for the Mist, after the Mizukage's death, they had only left troops on the borders to prevent sudden attacks by Konoha.
Therefore, the Sand were Onoki's only option. While the two villages had their share of common hatred, Onoki had to get off his high horse and ask Rasa for this alliance.
Yesterday's "enemies" can become today's friends, animosity does not last forever, and only interest is absolute. The main common enemy today was Konoha.
These ideas were understandable to the Sand. So when Onoki suggested a truce between both sides, and Joining Forces against Konoha, Rasa very happily agreed.
After Rasa agreed to fight Konoha, the two immediately began discussing their operational plan.
However, as mentioned before, even with this new alliance, the two were in no way able to fully trust each other. After all, just a few days ago, they had been fighting each other on the battlefield. This sudden alliance made everyone unconsciously hold their guards.
Even Rasa had a hint of vigilance towards Onoki, until the later exposed his biggest card to him.
This way, their alliance was officially formed. After discussing their operational plan, Rasa and Onoki went to appease the Ninjas in their respective villages.
Just like what happened in the 3rd Hokage's office, the two sides looked at the map, and pinpointed Kikyo Hill as the perfect spot for this decisive battle.
After reaching Kikyo him, Konoha's troops immediately sent out the Hyuga and Aburame Ninjas to Monitor the Rock and Sand's every move.
They could not afford to be sloppy, and while they were fully prepared for battle, they could only wait for the other side to make the first move.
The battle had not yet officially started, but the atmosphere was absolutely tense.
On the other side, Onoki was making the final arrangements. When it comes to battle experience, Onoki was a veteran compared to Rasa, so most of the arrangements were based on his opinions.
"Rasa, let's go for it, just like we discussed before!"
"Alright! This is battle that we must win!" Said Rasa firmly.
The Rock and the Sand began to move under the joint leadership of both Kages. The mighty spectacle rushed towards the newly founded Konoha camp.
As soon as they started moving, the Aburame and Hyuga Ninjas realized that, and they immediately informed Orochimaru and the others.
Ryo, and the rest if the Kage tiers were well prepared, and the battle of Kikyo Pass began.
As planned, everyone found their opponents, and Minato and Ryo summoned Gamabunta and Gamahiro to assist Konoha's troops.
Ryo's opponent was Onoki's son, Kitsuchi. Ryo's opponent didn't do much in the Manga, but he did leave quite the impression.
(Translator Note: "According to the fourth databook, he's from the Tsuchikage's bloodline. While not stated expressly, since Kurotsuchi is the Third Tsuchikage's granddaughter, it's most likely that Kitsuchi is his son." From Narutopedia.)
Unlike his father, Kitsuchi didn't have any Kekkei Genkai, let alone Dust Release. He mainly relied on his exceptional mastery of Earth Release.
Ryo already knew that this wasn't a great opponent for him to deal with. Ryo, being the speed-type, usually outpaced his opponents to get a chance at the kill shot. However, Kitsuchi's Earth Release was too strong, allowing him, paired with his great perception abilities to attack his opponent while remaining perfectly immune to their attacks.
While Ryo was moving with his Ice Lightning Chakra Mode, Kitsuchi was not able to see him. However, he could perceive his overall position. Whenever Ryo got too close, a Mud Wall would stand between him and delivering a fatal blow to his opponent.
For the first time, Ryo's Lightning Chakra Mode was countered in this way. He was surprised and somewhat excited.
Kitsuchi's defense opened Ryo up to a new style of counter fighting. This opponent didn't have to cope with Ryo's speed. He just needed to figure out how to make his attacks ineffective.
This was no small feat. The only reason why Kitsuchi was able to pull it off was his exceptional blend of exquisite perception skills and great mastery over Earth Release. It would be impossible for most Ninjas to do this.
This "Absolute Defense" from Kitsuchi made Ryo give up on his usual style of winning with speed. Since speed can't be enough here, Ryo had to rely on strength to win.
Ryo condensed a massive Ice Bow, much larger than usual, almost the same as the one that he used to finish the 3rd Mizukage.
Seeing Ryo's bow, Kitsuchi didn't react much, he was still very confident in his Earth Release. No matter what Jutsu Ryo was about to use, it wasn't going to break through his defense.
Ryo used his Chakra to make the bowstring, and then made Natural Energy gather madly on a small Ice Arrow.
The amount of Natural Energy that gathered on the bow was getting exponentially higher. Even though Kitsuchi couldn't perceive Natural Energy, he felt eminent threat from this Ice Arrow.
He decided not to let Ryo get an edge, throwing a few large Earth Release attack on Ryo. Helplessly, the latter could only shoot out the Ice Arrow that had not been completed.
The Ice Arrow shot right through those attacks, and in the blink of an eye, it was right in front Kitsuchi. The latter quickly erected 3 consecutive Mud Walls, but they couldn't stop the arrow from landing.
The Ice Arrow was mainly formed out of Natural Energy. It was virtually unbreakable, and easily penetrated through the Mud Walls and hit Kitsuchi.
The Ice Arrow bloomed and finally broke into Ice Dust under Ryo's control, and Kitsuchi's figure disappeared all together.
Ryo wasn't confused by the scene in front of him. He easily perceived that Kitsuchi quickly formed a Mud Clone right before being hit, and flickered to a stone pile not too far away.
Kitsuchi looked at the Ice crystals in the air. They had only been in contact with his right hand, which got frostbitten in the blink of an eye.
T/N: Hey there, J_Otaku here. This chapter marks the start of an epic battle, that is the best one so far to me! After that, things will even go better! I'm really excited to finally release it, and I am very thankful for your support that helped reach this point!

The Moto X5 will feature an iPhone X-like notch, according to new leak
By Christian de Looper	 January 17, 2018
Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends
The Moto X may have been replaced as Lenovo's flagship Moto phone with the Moto Z, but that doesn't mean it's not worth buying. On the contrary, recent Moto X phones have offered some pretty awesome features — and based on early leaks, the 2018 Moto X, also known as the Moto X5, will be no different.
There's a lot we don't know about the Moto X5, but thanks to recent leaks there's now a lot we do know. Here's everything we know about the Moto X5 so far.
The Moto X5 may offer some design features that we haven't seen in Moto phones yet — even though it's no longer the flagship Moto. For starters, a leaked image from Droid-Life seems to show a phone with an iPhone X-like "notch" at the top, with status icons on either side of it. It's unclear what that means for the software in general and where notification icons will show up.
Speaking of the display, it also seems to sport nicely rounded corners, and the report notes that it sits in at 5.9-inches with a FHD+ resolution and 18:9 aspect ratio.
Like the Moto Z3 leak, it seems like the new Moto X does not feature a fingerprint sensor, though there is a dual-sensor front-facing camera. We'll have to wait and see if that means that Lenovo is replacing the fingerprint sensor with facial recognition, like Apple, or if the fingerprint sensor is embedded in the display like the Vivo phone that was shown off at CES 2018. There's also a new white software navigation button — though Droid-Life notes that you'll probably be able to replace that with the standard three-button Android navigation buttons.
According to text that accompanies the Moto X5 images, the device will also feature "Moto XP's," which is billed as being "Moto's Smart Ai." We're not sure what that means yet. It's possibly it could be a kind of Google Assistant competitor.
We don't really know much about the specs of the upcoming Moto X5 just yet. Last year's Moto X featured a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630, which is a decent chip, to be sure, but also decidedly midrange. Considering Lenovo has its flagship bases covered with the Moto Z, we expect the new Moto X to feature a similarly midrange chip.
As far as RAM and storage goes, the device will likely feature around 3GB or 4GB of RAM, along with 64GB of storage — though that's just speculation. We'll have to wait and see what the device offers in real life.

New Book Celebrates Britain's Flying Heroes
21/09/2012 21/06/2016 ~ Richard Edwards
LONDON: This month Pen and Sword Books has published Heroes and Landmarks of British Aviation by Sussex authors Richard and Peter Edwards. The book tells the dramatic story of Britain's aviation pioneers, those who risked everything to be the first into the air, to fly the highest, the fastest and the furthest.
The book is written by Richard Edwards and uses some of Peter's previously unpublished material. It is published twenty years after Peter died in 1992. Richard said, "I've shared with my late father a lifelong passion for military history and it's heart-warming to be able to share an author credit with him."
The book celebrates the people, aircraft and achievements that make up Britain's aviation history, from humble airship developments to the demise of Concorde and supersonic passenger flights. Many famous names and aircraft are documented, including Amy Johnson and her around-the-world-flight, Geoffrey de Havilland and the world's first operational jet airliner, RJ Mitchell and the development of the Spitfire, Frederick Handley Page and the birth of Imperial Airways and Frank Whittle, the inventor of the jet engine.
The book is published in hardback by Pen and Sword Books, September 2012, retail price £25.00, ISBN 9781848846456.
Richard Edwards lives in Horsham, West Sussex and has worked in the media for many years. He has produced a wide range of radio documentaries and features and has contributed to numerous newspapers and magazines.
Peter Edwards wrote The Rise and Fall of the Japanese Imperial Naval Air Service (Pen and Sword Books, 2010) in the late 1980s, but passed away before he was able to see it in print. Richard published the book posthumously in November 2010. Peter was born in London and moved to Worthing, West Sussex with his family in the 1980s. He served in the RAF from 1945 before becoming a school teacher. He died in 1992 at the age of 63.

The German title of Jenny Erpenbeck's most recent novel is Heimsuchung, a word that contains the idea of home, of searching, of searching for home, of haunting, of punishment and affliction, all of which echo through the story of a house on the shore of a Brandenburg lake, built on a plot of land with a dark past. The English title Visitation also evokes visits, visitors and being visited, picking up on the ways in which the house is haunted by the passing of people and of time. Time and its passage are also the elusive substance of Jenny Erpenbeck's collection Dinge, die verschwinden, a book of farewells that explores disappearances of various kinds: of youth, memories, objects, and always, inescapably, of the present. An extract, translated by Susan Bernofsky, is included in the current issue of Sport. Wellingtonians can listen to Jenny Erpenbeck in conversation with Karen Leeder (Professor of German at Oxford University and also an expert on literary spectres and hauntings) at her Writers & Readers Week session on Monday 12 March. Karen will also be chairing a session on the art of literary translation with Jenny Erpenbeck and translators and poets Michael Hulse and Marco Sonzogni on Tuesday 13 March.
PS. Susan Bernofsky was recently awarded the prestigious and princely (15,000 Euro) Hermann Hesse Prize for her translation of Siddharta. Congratulations Susan!


Recently approached by someone setting up a local TV station, they wanted a few machines for editing etc, the guy I spoke to also wondered if there was an alternative to a product called PlayBox AirBox (http://www.anzt.co.nz/products/playbox/playbox_airbox.shtml) for automating the clips for microwave uploading to the transmitter, or perhaps to have one remotely controlled at the transmitter site. Some of you may have had involvement with the setting up of a broadcasting TV station, if so, any info (I am not a fan of getting people to spend huge money if a cheaper, reliable alternative is available) would be useful.
I have spent the last 10 years working in broadcast and unfortunatley there is no such thing as 'cheap and reliable' infact there is no such thing as 'exspensive and reliable' in my opinion.
What hardware and software depends entirely on what type of output they are looking to get from the station. If they are looking to make it professional i.e. graphics V/O, bugs etc etc then the sky is the limit as regard to price. If they are looking for a simple playlist of pre-compile mpegs then you could effectively use a simple media player with a clean output.
I am aware of equipment being used at local transmitter sites to play regional material, but that was in the UK, and im not too sure who could supply that sort of thing in NZ.
There are loads of companies that supply automation products: Louth, Harris, Omnibus, Pharos, Sony the list goes on-and-on.
Where is this local tv station and what are they going to provide.

A little while ago I was explaining to the Cat Knits group on Ravelry about a simple cat pad I made in my early months of knitting. Ida, founder of Lily Friends asked me if I could write it up in a pattern so it could be posted to the Lily Pads page. Well, I hadn't made one in years, and I couldn't remember which yarns I used, and in what quantities. Yup, you guessed it. I actually went out and spent money on (just say NO!)velty yarn. 3 DIFFERENT ones to be exact, to match my cat.
Let me just say, if it weren't for my love of most things furry, I'd have never EVER in a million years made this again…on purpose.
I am almost embarrassed to call this a pattern, it's so simple. I'd consider it more a yarn recipe than a knitting pattern. But since Ida asked, who am I to say no? Especially if it's going to help knitters make stuff for shelter cats?
LMAO at that last picture.
I can't decide which picture is more wrong.
Muppet Pelt Assmat? You have the most eloquently named patterns.
And awww! Matching the kitty.
OMG that picture is so wrong. And so funny.

Is Halliburton a Waste of Money?	Viacom, Inc. (VIAB) Slides on Drop in First Quarter Earnings
Articles > Market Commentary > Capstone Turbine: Buy or Sell?
Capstone Turbine: Buy or Sell?
Capstone Turbine (CPST) released its results for the quarter ended 30th September 2015 (second quarter or Q2) on 5th November. The company reported total revenue of $ 17.9 million compared to $ 32.2 million last year and a net loss of $ 7.9 million i.e. $ 0.02 per share compared to $ 6.5 million last year for the three month period ended 30th September. The overall gross margin also decreased from 16 % to 11 %.
The average revenue for Capstone Turbine over the last 18 quarters has been approximately $ 30 million.
13 out of these 18 times it has gone past $ 27 million and 9 times it crossed the $ 30 million mark. Thus, the revenue reported for Q2 seems to be an outlier. One big reason for this can be pointed out as the exclusion of Russian orders from these results. Orders from Russia contributed $ 6.7 million in revenue during last year's second quarter. This could have easily taken the total revenue very close to or even beyond $ 25 million.
The revenue from the sale of products was even more severely affected. It was just $ 11.6 million for this year's Q2 compared to $ 26.7 million in Q2 of the fiscal year 2015. The reasons behind the decline are obvious ones that include a decrease in volume of micro turbines shipped especially to Russia and continued challenges in the oil and gas market and a shift in customer projects timeline. As a result of low volume of micro turbines shipped, the count of megawatts shipped during the quarter was reduced to just 11.6 MW this year compared to 28.5 MW last year.
On the other hand, revenue from accessories, parts and service increased 15 % or $ 800,000 to $ 6.3 million compared to $ 5.5 million for last year's second quarter. The main driver of this increase was higher FPP contract enrollments and higher micro turbine service work.
R&D expense increased from $ 2.1 million to $ 2.9 million. SG&A expense decreased $ 2.8 million or 29 % from $ 9.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 to $ 6.7 million this year.
Product backlog was $ 104.8 million on 30th September 2015, down 39 % compared with $ 172.3 million one year ago. Out of the $ 67.5 million drop in backlog, $ 52.4 million was only due to the removal of 200 units or 64.5 MW worth of backlog from BPC to align the backlog with management expectation because of the current macroeconomic climate.
On the other hand the FPP service contract backlog increased from $ 60.9 million at 30th September, 2014 to $ 65.3 million on the same day of 2015. This increase is attributed to the company's growing installed base of micro turbines.
Also, the on-going efforts of the more mature distributors have established the FPP service contracts among the end customers as a great enabler to achieve a lower total cost of ownership. Thus this segment is something that Capstone Turbine Corp. can bank on for growth in the near future.
On the liquidity front, Capstone Turbine is quite relieved as it has got enough cash and credit to finance its future activities. The company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 10.6 million and a credit facility of $ 5 million from Wells Fargo taking the total of cash, cash equivalents and credit to $ 15.6 million. The relief for the equity holders is that the company doesn't have a huge debt piled up despite making loss for last few quarters. The total debt stands at $ 15.41 million which is manageable given the strength of its balance sheet.
Future Plans:
Capstone Turbines has suspended the commercialization of the C250, C270 program in order to reduce its R&D cost and concentrate on its core products.
Later this month, Capstone Turbine is going to finalise the Capstone Finance JV. This JV will offer finance solutions to the customers. This will allow third-party ownership for U.S. oil and gas customers that want the product today but lack financing. As per the company's December presentation, distributors have lost $ 22 million in FY16 and over $ 50 million in FY15 due to lack of financing options. Hence this business will provide a strong incentive for adoption of micro turbines.
Further, Capstone Turbine will add 100 new sales people to sell its enhanced C1000 Series product which will be unveiled later this month. The product is focused on the CHP market and improved reliability. A product price hike is also due in January 2016. This, together with the cost reduction plan will be instrumental in realizing the revised EBITDA breakeven level at $ 30 million per quarter at a 25 % gross margin. In addition, the focus on emerging markets like Latin America, Africa, Middle East and Australia is driving new opportunities.
Capstone Turbine is managing its businesses well. Its cost control is phenomenal and future plans on focus areas are quite promising. The good thing about the company is that it is not completely dependent on the oil market and has other businesses which can come handy in this downturn. Further, advancements like C1000 and the Finance JV place and renowned reputation in the after sales services places it a notch above its peers.

Man arrested on assault, narcotics charges after disturbance on Lexington Ave.
News // Norwalk
ROBERT KOCHHour Staff Writer
Jan. 1, 2016 Updated: June 11, 2016 2:27 a.m.
The Hour Online
NORWALK -- A domestic disturbance on Lexington Avenue led to assault and narcotics charges for a Winsted man early Friday morning.
Norwalk Police arrested Charles Tuck, 50, of 130 Meadow St., Winsted, shortly before 1 a.m.
Six hours earlier, police responded to a disturbance at 71 Lexington Ave. and were told by a woman that her boyfriend, whom she identified as Tuck, had struck her in the face with a closed fist during an argument. The woman struck Tuck back before the altercation was broken up by a third party, according to police reports.
Police said Tuck left the address on foot and was located shortly before 1 a.m. Friday near the intersection of Day and Raymond streets. When stopped by police, Tuck identified himself and was placed in handcuffs, taken to a police squad car and patted down for weapons.
During the pat down, two syringes were detected in Tuck's left jacket pocked. He was transported to the Norwalk Police Department headquarters, police said.
"While searching (Tuck) in the holding facility, the officer located five wax-paper folds in a jacket pocket," said Police Lt. Paul Resnick. The officer "weighed out the substance in the folds, which produced a total weight of one gram. The wax bags were stamped with a logo, which is very common with heroin. They did a field test and, in fact, the field test produced a positive result for heroin."
Tuck was charged with third-degree assault, disorderly conduct, possession of narcotics, interfering with an office, breach of peace and illegal manufacture distribution and sale of a controlled substance.
He was held on a $15,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Jan. 4 for the assault charges and Jan. 8 for the narcotics charges.
Tuck was arrested and brought to the Norwalk Police Department where narcotics were found in his possession, according to police.

The Guntram Ring Armour offers both movability and a stronger defense during LARP warfare. Whether you choose a fantasy role or one inspired by history, you will be impressed with the style and fit of this ring mail brigandine. This armored coat is a modified version of the Leopold Suede Gambeson. Steel rings woven into leather straps were sewn onto its suede surface, creating greater protection against the stresses of combat. The brigandine possesses a stand-up collar with V-opening and half-sleeves. Front and back slits increase freedom of movement. Five sets of buckle straps adjust the fit along the front. An inner lining of cotton canvas increases comfort and absorbs moisture.

One of the current burdens placing significant strain on the health care system in the United States, as well as worldwide, is the obesity epidemic. Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI, units kg/m2) greater than 30. Those who are considered overweight have a BMI between 25 and 30, with morbid obesity considered at a BMI greater than 40. Current estimates for the prevalence of overweight and obese patients are as high as two-thirds of the United States population and up to 1.7 billion people worldwide. The preponderance of the obese population has been steadily rising in the United States since 1980 (Fig. 1), nearly doubling to 30% of the population. According to current projections, 44% of the worldwide population will fall into the category of obese or overweight by the year 2020.

TheD&T section of the site also provides a useful but unfortunatelyshort list of companies that have shown themselves tobe sustainable in the design and/or manufacture of theirproducts.Practical Aid also introduces the very interesting conceptof 'technology justice' – that is, every person's right to accesstechnology that facilitates a decent life, and the importanceof technologies that don't cause harm, either now or in thefuture. The activities here will help pupils distinguish betweena person's needs and wants when it comes to technology, andthe 'No-tech challenge', which has participants giving up onepiece of technology for a week to raise money, may help themrealise how lucky we are to live in a country where electricityis simply a switch away.Practical Action(practicalaction.org/schools) Key Stages 1-4Send A Cow(www.sendacow.org/schools) Key Stages 1-4http://practicalaction.org/schoolshttp://www.sendacow.org/schoolsVolume5.4nCreativeTeaching&Learning75e-learningUnique and interactive, Mapping Worlds enables users toview planet Earth from a range of environmental, ethical andpolitical perspectives. Simply select a subject from the menubar and watch the countries on the world map grow andshrink, with the size of each country representing the datafor that subject.Pupils can explore countries from a range of angles,including those related to people and politics – such aspopulation, GDP, migration, tourism, religion and levels ofilliteracy – and also to business and industry. Environmentalissues are also considered, with data on animal and cropresources, energy production, water withdrawal, emissions,ecological footprints and more. Aside from being ratherinteresting to explore, this website is a great source of rawdata for all sorts of projects and activities. The creators havecollated figures from a range of reputable providers, andupdate accordingly.Mapping Worlds has much potential as a tool for theclassroom. Each map shows a rank ordering of countries, aswell as a country's percentage of the world total, but what itdoesn't show is the data per capita. This lends itself to a rangeof possible activities in both mathematics and geography –for example, could pupils work out how much CO2 they, as anaverage UK citizen, contribute to the environment?As well as the world map, Mapping Worlds also providesinteractive maps of the USA and Japan. This allows pupils todig a little deeper into each country's demographics, withstatistics by state or perfecture on ethnicity, crime, naturaldisasters, causes of death and more. There are even a few funstatistics to explore, such as the number of bigfoot sightingsin America, and the number of sumo wrestlers in Japan byplace of birth.A wide range of human rights issues are explored on AmnestyInternational UK's extensive website, including free speech, thedeath penalty, torture, discrimination against women, LGBTIrights, refugees, migrants and more. You'll also find a great dealof information on the current human rights abuses and atrocitiesin a number of countries, including Syria, Iraq and North Korea.Unsurprisingly, the focus is on activism. Campaigningfor ethical causes is an important part of ethical living, sothis website could be a useful source of information andmotivation for a project similar to the PBL unit featured inthis issue. Amnesty's many successes in defending individualsaround the world who are being denied their human rightsemphasises the power of even the smallest acts. But thereare still people out there who need our help; pupils can signonline petitions, email messages of support, post letters oreven send a tweet to appeal for justice.There are also over 100 teaching resources to support theexploration of humanitarian issues in schools, from classroomactivities and cross-curricular days to speakers' toolkits andideas for assemblies. The site covers early years right throughto post 16, and although these resources can be used in manydifferent subject areas, there is a very strong link to literacyacross the curriculum. 'The Power of the Pen', for example,engages pupils in persuasive letter writing, and will helpthem to see the power of writing to hold governments toaccount and save lives. Similarly, the 'Youth Awards YoungHuman Rights Reporter' pack puts pupils in the role of ahuman rights journalist, investigating and writing an articleon an issue of their choice. Pupils can then enter their entriesinto the Amnesty International Youth Awards.Another useful resource is Amnesty's fantastic fictionteacher notes, which support the use of stories and novelsto teach ethical issues.

string(2900) "This report by the Scottish Government shows that the attainment of looked-after children has been slowly rising. However, experts say the figures are almost certain to get worse as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown. Of the looked-after children who left school in 2018-19, 65 per cent failed to achieve a qualification equivalent to National 5 or better, as compared with 15 per cent of all school leavers, and 17 per cent left with no qualifications, as compared with just 2 per cent of all leavers.Looked-after children were also almost seven times more likely to be excluded. Attendance was significantly lower (87 per cent, as compared with 93 per cent), and 42 per cent of care-experienced pupils who left school in 2018-19 did so in S4 or earlier, against 12 per cent of school leavers more generally.Now a charity that works with care-experienced young people is calling for the government to provide tutoring for looked-after pupils, mirroring a scheme being introduced in England.Main Findings:Education outcomes for looked after children have improved over the last 6 years. However, there are still large gaps compared with all pupils.Looked after leavers who were in foster care or with friends or relatives had higher attainment than other placement types.The attendance rate has fallen for looked after pupils over the last six years. School attendance was 87% for pupils looked after within the last year – down from 89% in 2012/13, compared with 93% of all pupils in 2018/19.The attendance rate for pupils looked after in a foster care placement is higher than the attendance rate for all pupils.Leaver attainment was 35% for looked after school leavers with 1 or more qualification at SCQF level 5 – up from 23% in 2012/13, compared with 85% all pupils in 2018/19.Looked after school leavers are less likely to go to positive destinations than  school leavers in general, especially higher education. The percentage of looked after leavers in positive initial and follow-up destinations has increased over the last six years. 71% of looked after school leavers were in positive follow up destinations, up from 63% in 2012/13, compared with 93% of all pupils in 2018/19.Exclusion rates for pupils looked after within  the year have fallen over the last six years. School exclusions were 152 per 1,000 looked after pupils, down from 280 in 2012/13 compared with 22 of all pupils in 2018/19.The exclusion rate for looked after pupils was around seven times as high as for all pupils in 2018/19.A lower proportion of looked after children achieve the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) level relevant to their stage compared with all children across all organisers.Achievement of CfE levels is lowest for those looked after at home and those looked after in residential accommodation.Link: Education Outcomes for Looked After Children 2018/19"

It's the Same Game . . . But in HD!
by peterguerber on January 31, 2013 in Thirteen
Last week, Nintendo held "Nintendo Direct," an online presentation where they announced a bunch of big games coming soon to the Wii U and 3DS. As is always the case, one of the biggest announcements was that a brand new HD Zelda game for the Wii U was coming. While that's great and everything, the announcement that got me excited came after: an HD remake of my favorite Zelda game, and game in general, "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker." Even though I don't own a Wii U, and probably never will, this got me incredibly excited that Nintendo was revisiting one of my fondest childhood memories and reworking it for a new generation of gamers. … Read the rest

"It's a blessing more than you can ever understand," said Adams, a counselor at the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, who has roots in Allendale. She stood with one of her daughters, Zoe Madison Coleman, 6, in front of a couple dozen people who'd gathered to celebrate a new chapter in the life of a family who'd at one point been homeless.
The one-story dwelling, sponsored by First United Methodist Church and constructed on a formerly-abandoned lot donated by Mrs. Weyman Oden, is the 44th house built in Allendale by The Fuller Center, and the 52nd erected by the organization in the Shreveport-Bossier conurbation. The home, decked out with furniture, appliances and artwork was partially outfitted by the Renesting Project.
Adams, 44, is the latest beneficiary of the Fuller Center's waitlist of working families, some referred by the Providence House, a homeless shelter, approved to become mortgage-paying homeowners through a program aimed at community renewal.
Like the other recipients as part of the project, Adams will pay no more than $400 a month toward her mortgage – the $75,000 house cost was paid for by the Methodist Church – and owns the property outright.
"We don't 'give' homes away," said Lee A. Jeter, Sr., the executive director of the Fuller Center, an independently-funded organization created by Millard Fuller, the founder of Habitat for Humanity. "This is for working families who cannot get a traditional loan to get a traditional home."
"It helps lift them out of poverty and helps move them to another level," he said.
Adams' home is just down the street from the site of a small grocery store under construction by the Fuller Center. The store, a much-needed amenity in a neighborhood that's sometimes referred to as a "food desert," will not serve alcohol or tobacco and will be staffed in part by local residents.
"Overwhelmed" and "thankful" is how Adams said she felt moving into her new home. She said she's now one step closer to realizing her dream of owning her own business.

This month, Aging and Disability Services (ADS) will accept applications for funding in two service areas—Senior Nutrition and Kinship Navigator. Both applications will be posted on the Seattle Human Services Department Funding Opportunities webpage on their respective release dates, which follow.
On Friday, January 11, 2013, ADS will issue a Request for Investment (RFI) for Senior Nutrition Program Services. The RFI is an opportunity for new and existing non-profit providers to apply for funding to provide Congregate Meal and Registered Dietitian (RD) Consultation services.
The Congregate Meal program helps meet the dietary needs of adults age 60 and older by providing nutritionally balanced meals in a group or community setting. In addition to the meal, congregate programs provide nutrition education, opportunities to socialize, and offer activities and access to other services for older adults.
RD Consultation services, provided for ethnic meal programs, include nutrition education, health and safety monitoring, dietary analysis, menu development, and consultation.
Approximately $3.2 million will be available for an 18 month contract period (July 1, 2013–December 31, 2014). ADS expects to distribute $96,000 for RD consultation and $3,144,922 for congregate meals.
All interested applicants are strongly encouraged to attend the RFI Information Session on Friday, January 25, 2013 (10:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m.) at Beacon Hill Library, 2821 Beacon Ave S, Seattle.
The deadline to submit RFI applications is 5:00 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013.
For additional information and/or to request paper copies of the Senior Nutrition Program Services RFI, contact Maria Langlais at 206-684-0651 or maria.langlais@seattle.gov.
A "kinship caregiver" is a relative—typically a grandparent—who is caring for a child whose own parents are unable or unwilling to do so. On February 4, 2013 ADS will issue a RFI for the King County Kinship Navigator and Kinship Collaboration programs. These related programs will be combined into one contract through the RFI process, so potential host agencies must apply for both services. Only one agency will be awarded a contract.
The Kinship Navigator is a full-time position responsible for connecting kinship caregivers to community resources such as health, financial and legal services, support groups, and emergency funds. A maximum of $76,306 in State Aging and Disability Services Administration will be awarded for this service.
The Kinship Collaboration award pays for a half-time coordinator who staffs meetings of the King County Kinship Collaboration, its steering committee, and its advisory council. The coordinator also conducts community outreach and organizes special trainings and events for kinship caregivers. A maximum of $39,310 in state Children's Administration funds will be awarded.
Contracts will be effective July 1, 2013. The RFI application will be available on the website referenced above on February 4, 2013.
All interested applicants are strongly encouraged to attend the RFI Information Session on Thursday, February 14, 2013 (10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.) at the 2100 Building, 2100 24th Ave S, in Seattle.
The deadline to submit Kinship Navigator and Collaboration RFI applications is 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20, 2013.


The research team reported in the August 2011 issue of The Archives of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology that children with "very poorly controlled" asthma missed an average of 18 days of school each year, compared to 2 or less for other asthma patients.
The researchers studied 628 children ages 6 to 12 with severe or difficult-to-treat asthma. They evaluated direct medical costs – medications, unscheduled office and emergency visits, and hospital admissions – and indirect costs as measured by school/work days lost. Costs were evaluated at baseline, 12 months and 24 months. Patients were divided into three groups – very poorly controlled, not well controlled and well controlled asthma, according to NIH guidelines.
The researchers estimated that one parent would have to stay home for each missed school day, at an average cost of $172 dollars per day. Indirect costs for very poorly controlled asthma, $3,078, were more than eight times as great as the costs for not well controlled asthma, $369. With no missed school days among well controlled asthma patients, their indirect costs were $0.
The large variance for missed school days suggested another cost not included in the researchers' calculations—low educational achievement. They cited a study of 3,812 students in Missouri indicating a much higher chance of failure for those absent an average of 12 school days. The very poorly controlled asthma patients in the current study missed an average of 18 days.
