With so many riders flocking to the many resorts and competitions buried deep in the diverse mountain ranges around the world, from the Swiss Alps to the Canadian Rockies, it's always good to have a little change of scenery. Enter Red Bull Snowscrapers; a brand new and innovative 5Star competition on the Swatch TTR World Tour that combines the characteristics of a backcountry step-up session and the pumping life of metropolitan city. On Thursday, February 5th 2009, 16 phenomenal riders will descend upon the East River Park in New York City to compete for 850 TTR ranking points and a beefy $100 000 USD prize purse in what is sure to be a throw down of epic proportions.
To describe the riders that are set to compete in New York as the world's best is an understatement as these guys are all at the forefront of snowboard progression and each has something unique and fresh to bring to the table. Contest all-stars Kevin Pearce (USA) who is currently Swatch TTR No. 4, TTR No. 11 Torstein Horgmo (NOR), TTR No. 12 Shaun White (USA) and TTR No. 13 Danny Davis (USA) will no doubt all be looking for higher places in the TTR Top 10 as Norwegian phenomena Mikkel Bang and Andreas Wiig fight to close the gap from further down in the rankings.
However, a place on the podium will be no easy feat with many other iconic riders shredding in New York. Backcountry style and urban adventure clashes with Travis Rice (USA) and Pat Moore (USA) both competing under heavy expectations as Jake Blauvelt (USA), Bjorn Leines (USA) and JJ Thomas (USA) make the irregular but highly anticipated contest appearance alongside the great Norwegian Terje Haakonsen.
The Red Bull Snowscrapers tosses out the conventional best of 3 run format and instead employs a jam session format where riders must consistently land difficult, distinctive and stylish tricks in order to walk away with the 5Star title. Frank Wells and Mike Bettera from Snow Park Technologies have constructed a specially designed step-up hip feature that caters towards the riders' creativity and the spectators desire to get as close as possible to the action. A 90-foot tall in run will launch riders off a carefully designed ramp towards a massive 80-foot long, 45-degree spine and landings on both the right and left side allowing for a multitude of trick variation.

Real estate comps tell us there are more foreclosures in the United States right now than we have ever experienced before. Prepared real estate investment professionals are turning the recession into great profits with a bit of creativity.
A popular real estate investing strategy is called 'Bulk REO Investing' and is a real monster. The basis of the Bulk REO business is foreclosures, so let's analyze the foreclosure process now. Because to understand investing in Bulk REO, you have to understand the foreclosure process.
When a home owner begins to miss payments on their mortgage, the lender begins to send late/overdue notices to the home owner. After a certain period, the lender will then formally begin foreclosure proceedings. Between the formal beginning of the foreclosure process and the public auction is the 'preforeclosure' period.
To complete the foreclosure process, the property is offered at auction to the public. If there are no buyers at the foreclosure auction, the lender regains title to the property. The designation of 'REO' (Real Estate Owned) is then attached to the foreclosed property.
Lenders usually try to unload their REO properties at close to retail price by listing their REO's with a real estate broker. But as we all know ,with increasing frequency, REO properties are being sold for pennies or dimes on the dollar. And the purchase of a 'package' (or group) or REO properties is the trade-off for receiving such great prices.
These REO packages represent the potential to acquire huge amounts of equity for savvy real estate investors. Bulk REO Investors are most successful when they have a well-established source of funding for their REO packages. Taking advantage of a Bulk REO package can net you a nice end profit when you remember these basic fundamentals!

We just sauerkraut season, so let's say in the end as it is the truth from the fermentation of cabbage and sauerkraut.
For most of us do not have much tribution that is pickled cabbage, or sauerkraut - more important - most of us believe that it is two names for the same product. But what do you expect the usual bread zjadaczach OWN if the site can be read as kurjozalne things like this signed by the UW?
I was thinking that the villagers would be able to learn a lot from Ms. University of Warsaw. Why are the villagers? - Because it is they who occupy the vast majority of the pickling cabbage, cabbage fermentation and selling it at the fair.
Currently we can acquire only sauerkraut (with a few exceptions) - this is souring poniważ is much simpler than silage. Just shred the cabbage, whip it good with a pestle, then season with vinegar and sugar - yes, yes - sauerkraut is seasoned with vinegar and sugar - no one handlel will not be entertained in a long process of fermentation of cabbage, which usually lasts for 2 weeks before the hearing, the lactic acid bacteria of raw cabbage. Souring of using vinegar gives it another advantage over the sauerkraut - much more effective in terms of repeatability of taste - they each time customers get their favorite flavor, and not, as in the case of sauerkraut, where during the 2-week fermentation process may be different things influence the final flavor.
bacteria produce lactic acid, which is very acidic, so often płukały housewives cook sprouts before meals, but not of all - so often in the mountains, we can gorge on a delicious soup of smoked ribs.
not as sour as the ensiled - actually taste the taste zależyt nly person kwaszącej. if you buy at the market is the taste every time is the same. Cabbage does not usually require flushing prior to cook.
(Exactly as in the case of mixed wines - taste is always the same, we would not ever buy - today or in 10 years).
I am writing a thesis on consumer fermented cabbage. I want to know which name is correct: sauerkraut or sauerkraut. Which name used before? What is the origin of these words? Many thanks for the reply.
Both the name of sauerkraut and sauerkraut are correct. The term is historically pickled participle of the verb kisić | kisieć and sauerkraut comes from the pickle. Historically, the earlier is the verb pickle (Proto-Slavonic kvasiti) 'cause fermentation', and verbs kisić | kisieć are zachodniosłowiańską innovation. In the Polish language are attested from the fifteenth century, linked by a common origin and follows the relationship of meaning: pickle cause that something kiśnie, Kisi up.
WHAT ABOUT THE CALCIUM legendary?
What the ordinary cabbage can do?
What and how to apply?
and if not Oligocene well, so what?

November 2, 2013 – Colin & Synthia Andrews, "On the Edge of Reality," Jeannette Gagan, "Grow Up Your Ego," and Pete Trabucco, "Overcoming Your Fears"
November 2, 2013 – Archives/Pod Casts Hour 1 – Hour 2 – Hour 3
Hour 1: Colin & Synthia Andrews
Joining the show during the first hour are two of the world's most prominent experts on crop circles and UFOs, Colin and Synthia Andrews, to discuss their latest book, On the Edge of Reality: Hidden Technology, Powers of the Mind, Quantum Physics, Paranormal Phenomena, Orbs, UFOs, Harmonic Transmissions, and Crop Circles.
Is there evidence of an alien intelligence that is establishing a presence in the global consciousness and endeavoring to make societal connections?
The Andrews believe there is evidence, and that the intelligence is challenging humanity to a higher level of consciousness, a belief that is shared by some native elders and that is supported by the 2012 Mayan Prophecy. Believing humanity is now "engaged in a process of integration with a higher mind," the Andrews also believe that this "integration of higher mind is occurring through individual encounters with non-ordinary reality."
Consciousness is shifting, and we are on the edge of a new paradigm, but the direction of this shift is not a given. The "hand of higher intelligence is directing our attention to greater possibilities. Right now we are at the crossroads, the choices we make will set the direction for a new cycle of human endeavor." What will we create next?
Colin Andrews is a visionary and 30-year veteran investigator of unusual phenomena. He is best known for his work with crop circles, a term he coined in 1983. In addition, Colin is responsible for discovering the correlation between patterns of RADAR interference and weather conditions in Australia, where weather modification projects are underway.
A popular media guest and speaker, Colin has appeared extensively on TV and radio, and he continues to present to audiences in universities and scientific institutions and at public venues around the world. He has been a featured speaker at the International UFO Congress, the World UFO Symposium, the USSR/USA Symposium at the University of California, the TRIAD Conference, the International Earth Conference in England, the Institute of Noetic Sciences in New York, and at many more events.
An advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's cabinet and Queen Elizabeth on the subject of crop circles, Colin is the author of eight books, including Circular Evidence and The Complete Idiots Guide to to the Akashic Record.
Contributing author Synthia Andrews is a naturopathic physician, energy intuitive, and author of five books including The Path of Energy and The Path of Emotions.

PLEASE CALL 800-259-5791 TO SPEAK WITH COLIN & SYNTHIA ANDREWS.
Hour 2: Jeannette Gagan
Psychologist and author Jeannette Gagan joins the show during the second hour to discuss her most recently published book entitled Grow Up Your Ego: Ten Scientifically Validated Stages to Emotional and Spiritual Maturity.
Jeannette's book delivers scientific backing for the stages of ego growth, what it means to have a mature ego, and the steps to take for getting there. Not only does the path of growing up the ego connect us to the mission of our souls, it also provides a crucible strong enough to support the transcendent experiences we so yearn for. In learning of the essential role of the ego–that of keeping us alive and giving us a sense of self– readers soon discover that when we're born, the ego has as much growing up to do as the rest of us. When bonding with caretakers is interrupted or fails, we see the results in children and adults who lack self-esteem, cannot be empathic, cannot establish healthy relationships, and who may act out in varying ways. Like no other book in its genre, Grow Up Your Ego shows how the ego can "grow up" at any time through the identification and maturing of defense mechanisms; by learning how to appropriately self-soothe; and through wholesome relationships. In language anyone can understand, this self-help book leads readers through chapter content and exercises. Case examples and step-by-step encouragement contribute to this holistic overview of how spirituality is part and parcel of our humanness.
Jeannette Gagan is a graduate of Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She also attended the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque where she obtained both a Master's degree in Mental Health Nursing and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology.
She started her career as a nurse employed at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Milwaukee. She took a long hiatus during her marriage while raising five children. In 1985 she opened her counseling psychology practice. She also began to study the practice of shamanism, which she incorporated into her professional sphere in a number of ways. Specifically, she authored her first book, Journeying: Where Shamanism and Psychology Meet, a daring and pioneering template for healing. This resulted in presentations to various audiences including teaching students about the mix of psychology and shamanism.
In 2003 she focused her attention on the authoring and publishing of Grow Up Your Ego: Ten Scientifically Validated Stages to Emotional and Spiritual Maturity. She now continues her writing and educating through her blog at www.riochamapublications.

Hour 3: Pete Trabucco
Joining the show during the final hour is travel and vacation expert and author Pete Trabucco who will be discussing how to face and overcome your fears.
Pete's the author of the bestselling book America's Top Roller Coasters and Amusement Parks as well as numerous articles on aviation, space, and health. Prior to writing his book, Pete had a fear of these types of rides and learned to overcome them by confronting them head on.
So how does someone get so involved with roller coasters and then write a book about it? The answer is simple. For many years, Pete was afraid of roller coasters and thrill rides. If you mentioned the word "roller coaster," he would cringe in fear about subjecting himself to such torture. It would be that way for many years until he had a child. Then Pete thought about what would happen when his child got older…who is going to do all these fun things with her? At that point, Pete knew he needed to remove this fear. Not an easy journey, but one that was worth taking.
But something happened along the way. Pete realized he was no longer a child, but an adult who actually liked to try new and different experiences. Until this point in his life, he was stuck with his childhood preconception of what roller coasters and thrill rides were supposed to be, but through research and in actually riding the best coasters all around North America, he realized that it was fear itself that caused the disconnect between himself and these thrill rides.
Tonight, Pete will share how he overcame his fears and how you can learn to face your own fears to overcome them as well.
Pete Trabucco is an author and freelance writer who has had over 100 national and international articles published in various aviation, space, health, and sports magazines. Throughout his life, Pete has made a living in the field of broadcasting (on-air and in sales management) as well as in the healthcare and aviation industries.

The rolling grilles and shutters can be opened and closed using an electric drive or manually with a spring shaft. Our spring shaft is a good solution when there is no electrical connection available on-site or if there is no space for one – ideal for narrow gateways! The spring shaft drive is particularly suited for entrances to shops or for warehouse gates subject to rough use. Gates with spring shafts are rapid and easy to operate, economical, simple and quick to install, do not require an electrical connection, are durable and also exceptionally efficient and strong in busy situations and when operated roughly.
A convincing alternative to an electric drive.
Spring shafts are frequently used for driving smaller-sized rolling grilles and roller shutters (up to max. 100 kg curtain weight) and provide a reliable, cost-effective alternative to conventional electric drives. The rolling grilles or shutters are fitted at hand level, and also on the end rail if required, with an espagnolette lock to prevent unauthorised lifting. The spring shafts are designed precisely according to the curtain weight of each gate or grille so that the best possible counter-balance is achieved and the least possible manual strength is required.
Ideal for small gates, simple installation, easy and rapid operation, hardwearing and durable, high-quality 1a spring steel strip (made in Germany), secure and reliable spring fastening, safe due to all-round spring bandage, aluminium housing easily adjustable due to 1/6 division, hardwearing slide bearing, no electrical connection required, economical and cost-effective.

The TeV electrons observed in the solar system are considered to be produced in the sources within 1 kpc in distance and in period for the past 100,000 years. The supernova remnants as a candidate of the electron sources are, therefore, very limited in number as Monogem, Loop 1, Geminga and Vela. It is expected that the few sources cause a structural component in the energy spectrum and an anisotropy in the arrival directions. Our calculations show that the direct effects of these nearby sources can be detected by a yearly observation with a detector having a geometrical factor of 0.5 m2 sr. We will present a future plan proposed for the observation of TeV electrons at the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) in ISS.

Information published on 11 September 2018 in the UIC electronic newsletter "UIC eNews" Nr 613.
Czech Republic: Extensive Reconstruction of Passenger Building in Turnov
A reconstructed passenger building started its service to inhabitants and visitors of the city of Turnov. A branch of Česká pošta (the Czech Post) was also opened on 3 September within the premises of an important railway junction in the Liberec Region. Works on the one-floor building dating from the second half of the 19th century took exactly one year and cost Správa železniční dopravní cesty (SŽDC) almost CZK 30 million. The construction supplier was the company Chládek a Tintěra, Pardubice.
Some time ago, the dispatching hall at Turnov passenger railway station together with public lavatories and cash desks were already being reconstructed in connection with building a transport terminal. "The follow-up Phase II dealt with complex repairs of internal and external premises. In cooperation with the new tenants – Česká pošta and the Municipal Library – a change of project during construction has been elaborated and the premises were adapted for their requirements", said Mr Tomáš Drmola, Deputy Director General of SŽDC for Asset Management.
"The new branch is situated in a locality with a large concentration of people who can use our services. Besides the railway station, a bus terminal is close as well", said Ms Olga Syková, Director of the Česká pošta branch network for northern Bohemia and added: "The original post branch was situated on the first floor and did not provide access for people on wheelchairs. Neither was it accessible by sidewalk, only through a public road with intense car traffic. In its new design, the current post branch has three desks for customers, from which one is designed precisely for people on wheelchairs. Another advantage is that we were able to hand over the original premises to letter and mail postmen who thus acquired more space".
Besides internal layout modifications, construction works included a complete reconstruction of floors, a facade renewal and an exchange of fillings in external openings. At the same time, the truss, sheathing and roofing of the platform shelter were replaced; their water jetting and painting were carried out together with repairs of the steel columns. Builders also replaced the wooden columns and installed new LED lighting. Underground services were repaired as well.
A connecting passageway was finished and a new information system was constructed in the new passenger building. After the reconstruction, the building is barrier-free. Layout modifications also covered the unsatisfactory premises of the former restaurant which acquired a modern shape while preserving the historical features and ledges. Office premises were created above the restaurant with a replacement of ceiling posts. The attic was heated in full and the truss was treated against wood-destroying fungus.
A third reconstruction phase is currently in preparation which includes a wing of the building in the direction of Liberec. The respective project documentation is currently under consideration within the observation procedure.

Robot Fast-Food Chefs: Hype Or A Sign Of Industry Change?
Robots can't yet bake a souffle or fold a burrito, but they can cook up vegetables and grains and spout them into a bowl — and are doing just that at a new fast casual restaurant in Boston.
Matt O'Brien, AP Technology Writer
BOSTON (AP) — Robots can't yet bake a souffle or fold a burrito, but they can cook up vegetables and grains and spout them into a bowl — and are doing just that at a new fast casual restaurant in Boston.
Seven autonomously swirling cooking pots — what the restaurant calls a "never-before-seen robotic kitchen" — hum behind the counter at Spyce, which opened Thursday in the city's downtown.
Push a touch-screen menu to purchase a $7.50 meal called "Hearth." A blend of Brussels sprouts, quinoa, kale and sweet potatoes tumbles from hoppers and into one of the pots. The pot heats the food using magnetic induction, then tips to dunk the cooked meal into a bowl. Water jets up to rinse it off before a new order begins.
Is this a robot chef or just another high-tech novelty machine? Experts differ, but more such automation is likely headed for the fast-food sector in coming years.

A report last year by the McKinsey Global Institute said that food preparation jobs are highly vulnerable to automation because workers spend so much time on predictable physical tasks.
Currently, there's one big thing holding back the chefbots: "The human labor also tends to be lower-paid," said McKinsey partner Michael Chui, making it less economical to automate those jobs. But that could change as businesses develop cheaper and more efficient robot chefs.
Spyce has those, and automated order-taking kiosks to boot, although it still employs plenty of humans. Founded by four former MIT classmates who partnered with Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud, the restaurant has hired people to do the trickier prep work — parboiling rice, rinsing and chopping vegetables, cutting meat and reducing sauces in an off-site commissary kitchen. It also employs a handful of people for customer service and to garnish the robot-cooked blends with fresh toppings.
But the mesmerizing machinery, equipped with dozens of motors, sensors and moving parts, is the real draw.
"The openness of the design was something we knew we wanted from the beginning," said Brady Knight, a co-founder and engineer. "It is kind of a show. It's fun to see what's going on behind the scenes. We didn't want to hide anything because we think what we made is pretty cool."
Customers wait as their automatically prepared food is dropped from a cooking pot into a bowl at Spyce, a restaurant which uses a robotic cooking process in Boston, Thursday, May 3, 2018. Robots can't yet bake a souffle or fold a burrito, but the new restaurant in Boston is employing what it calls a "never-before-seen robotic kitchen" to cook up ingredients and spout them into a bowl.

Automation in the food industry isn't exactly new, though it's often unseen by customers. Think of the chocolate factory conveyor belt that led to comedic mishaps in a famous "I Love Lucy" episode in the 1950s, or machines that wash dishes and brew coffee. There was also the early 20th century fad of waiterless "automat" cafeterias that served hot food when customers fed a coin to open a glass door.
But while food processing machines are prized for their speed and hygiene — "our robot doesn't get sick," Knight said — they have a harder time handling the complexities of fresh food.
In Mountain View, California, the founders of Zume Pizza spent years tinkering with a robotic kitchen that can form pizza dough, apply tomato sauce and transfer the pizza in and out of the oven. Other jobs that require more dexterity and judgment — such as layering on toppings — are left to humans, and the robot only performs tasks it can do dramatically better, CEO Alex Garden said.
Garden said his philosophy is that "automation exists to improve the quality of human life," so he invests savings from the increased productivity in higher wages for employees and higher-quality ingredients for customers.
Spyce's founders said they chose a relatively simple type of meal — grain bowls — and avoided trying to use robotic arms . With each "degree of freedom," a robotics term for movement on a joint or axis, more things can go wrong with the machines, they said.
"Butchering is pretty hard to do," said Chui, the McKinsey partner. "On the other hand, machines do a pretty good job of taking the kernels out of corn and a lot of sorting tasks."
Restaurants marketing themselves as powered by robots or automation have grabbed attention from gawking first-time customers in recent years, but haven't usually lived up to the hype. In 2007, a sit-down restaurant in Nuremberg, Germany, began delivering food by gliding it down curvy rails and onto a big turntable.
The restaurant's owner, Michael Mack, told The Associated Press at the time that he was trying to eliminate "uncomfortable" fast-food experiences such as long lines, carrying meals to the table and cleaning up.
The restaurant has since closed. Its online reviews complain of high prices and traffic jams involving backed-up serving pots.
Also stalled is a burger-flipping robot named Flippy that was put on leave from a Southern California restaurant just days after its March debut. Its maker, Miso Robotics, said Thursday that the robot should be back in service later this month after some tweaks to speed up its performance.
Spyce has generated enthusiasm among downtown Boston office workers, though technology experts in a city known for spawning robotics startups aren't sure what to call it.
"I really wouldn't consider that a robot," said Tom Ryden, director of Boston-based startup incubator MassRobotics, who reserves that definition for a device with the ability to react to its environment.
"It can't make decisions," Ryden said of Spyce's auto-pot. "It can't say something's cooked too long. There's no feedback loop. It's just an automated system."
But Ryden said he's still eager to join the lunchtime crowds in trying it out.

Tharros Place: A New Hope for Minor Human Trafficking Victims in Chatham County
January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Every year since 2010, the President has dedicated this month to raise awareness about human trafficking domestically and abroad. Human trafficking is defined as the use of force, fraud or coercion to obtain some kind of labor or commercial sex act. In the United States, around 250,000 minors between the ages of 10 and 17 are involved in commercial sexual exploitation each year. Of these minor victims, 60% are runaway or homeless youth. In the state of Georgia, there were 494 cases involving the sex trafficking of minors in 2021. And Chatham County ranks 7th in the state for sex trafficking cases of minors.
For years, there has been a gap in services locally to assist and address the needs of minor victims. But fortunately, that has changed. Established in 2022, Tharros Place is a nonprofit organization that will open up a residential home in Chatham County for female human trafficking survivors ages 11 to 17. The word 'tharros' is Greek for courage, and Tharros Place aims to create a culture of courage where victims can transform from trauma to triumph.
"People have been talking about the need for this. We have two residential shelters in town, Park Place Outreach and Greenbriar, and they do great work for homeless youth. But this is a subset of that population, and so it's really great to fill a need in this community," said Julie Wade, Tharros Place executive director.
The facility, which will be at an undisclosed location, is expected to open later this year. It will house 12 girls who will receive wrap-around services through a year-long program. The residents will receive schooling and life coaching, and they will also work with case managers and social workers who will provide support to them and their families.
"Most of the girls are going to be Chatham County girls. These are our girls and our community. And I think that's an important distinction," Wade said.
Locally, there are a few factors that contribute to the incidence of trafficking, particularly the busy I-16/I-95 corridor, the port and events that draw in a lot of people like St. Patrick's Day.
"Many of the things that we love about our community, they're also susceptible to this type of behavior unintentionally," Wade remarked.
Tharros Place is working to educate the public about human trafficking and the signs to look for to help recognize potential victims. They hold stakeholder meetings every six months that are free and open to the public to provide information. Tharros Place also has an outreach coordinator who is available to provide training to law enforcement, workplaces, churches and other groups. Wade advises youth service providers like teachers and coaches to be on the lookout for sudden changes in mood or dispositions, excessive tiredness, and an influx of new things, like a new cell phone, new nails, hair and clothing.
"Often, you'll see associated drug use with this as a way to cope, and the trafficker may be giving them drugs to manipulate and seduce," she added.
As Tharros Place prepares to open their facility later this year, they are asking for community support. Wade shared that it will cost about $2 million to purchase, renovate and furnish their residential building, and they appreciate any monetary contributions from the public to help. To that end, Tharros Place is hosting a Cocktails for Courage fundraiser on Jan. 27 at Cohen's Retreat from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. There will be hors d'oeuvres, music and a silent auction. Beyond fundraising, community members can also support Tharros Place by volunteering.
Tharros Place plans to employ about 30 people to staff the facility.
"This is an economic development opportunity. It's an investment here where we're bringing jobs to people. We are committed to paying fair and equitable wages, which is the benefit of starting out fresh," Wade expressed.
She and the team at Tharros Place are looking forward to intervening for trafficked girls, hoping to change their lives for the better.
"With the year-long program and the right mindset, you can be transformative and really change the outcome of some young people's lives, which is pretty awesome. . . Because this is so intensive, it can be transformative," she explained.

A solar living lab for the University of Portsmouth (UK)
The University of Portsmouth is harnessing solar energy to use its Port-Eco House as a 'solar living lab' – a research facility to test, verify and refine complex energy solutions in evolving real-life contexts.
Solar photovoltaic panels have been installed next to the Port-Eco House, a three-bedroom property used for research into the energy efficiency and building performance of houses. A smart Tesla Powerwall battery has also been installed in the house, which allows excess electricity generated by the panels to be stored for later use.
Based in a former caretaker's lodge on campus, the Port-Eco House is used to conduct pioneering research into the physical and environmental performance of dwellings, including human interaction with the property.
The house's solar panels are being individually monitored, while the battery provides monitoring of the overall solar energy production, building load and input/export of electricity.
Three Tesla Powerwall batteries have also been fitted at the University's Future Technology Centre (FTC), a facility for engineering students and staff to explore today's new and emerging technologies. The building was already equipped with rooftop solar panels and photovoltaic windows.
"With the combined work of the solar photovoltaic panels and the Tesla battery, the University's Eco House has become mostly self-sufficient in terms of its electricity consumption, which is around 10 kWh per day," said Professor of Power Systems Engineering, Victor Becerra. "At any given time, the electricity consumption of the house is being supplied by either the panels, the battery, or both. Any excess energy generated by the panels is stored in the battery and only very occasional import from the external electricity supply."
The monitoring data collected by the solar living lab will be correlated with data from weather stations already in place at the university. Together, all these data streams will enable research into various aspects of solar photovoltaic energy, including the synergy between solar power generation and energy storage, the efficiency of solar photovoltaic panels and mechanisms to enhance it, the effect of shade, weather and other environmental variables on solar power generation, and the techno-economic modelling of solar energy systems, among many others.
The solar living lab will be used by PhD students for their research and will support the training and projects of Master's and undergraduate students at the School of Energy and Electronic Engineering and elsewhere in the Faculty of Technology. Students in the new MEng/BEng (Hons) Electrical and Renewable Energy Engineering will particularly benefit from this facility.

The complete lack of these facilities is usually manifested by an Illegal system call error upon server start. In that case there is no alternative but to reconfigure your kernel. PostgreSQL won't work without them. This situation is rare, however, among modern operating systems.
When PostgreSQL exceeds one of the various hard IPC limits, the server will refuse to start and should leave an instructive error message describing the problem and what to do about it. (See also Section 17.3.1.) The relevant kernel parameters are named consistently across different systems; Table 17-1 gives an overview. The methods to set them, however, vary. Suggestions for some platforms are given below.
The most important shared memory parameter is SHMMAX, the maximum size, in bytes, of a shared memory segment. If you get an error message from shmget like "Invalid argument", it is likely that this limit has been exceeded. The size of the required shared memory segment varies depending on several PostgreSQL configuration parameters, as shown in Table 17-2. (Any error message you might get will include the exact size of the failed allocation request.) You can, as a temporary solution, lower some of those settings to avoid the failure. While it is possible to get PostgreSQL to run with SHMMAX as small as 2 MB, you need considerably more for acceptable performance. Desirable settings are in the hundreds of megabytes to a few gigabytes.
Some systems also have a limit on the total amount of shared memory in the system (SHMALL). Make sure this is large enough for PostgreSQL plus any other applications that are using shared memory segments. Note that SHMALL is measured in pages rather than bytes on many systems.
PostgreSQL uses one semaphore per allowed connection (max_connections) and allowed autovacuum worker process (autovacuum_max_workers), in sets of 16. Each such set will also contain a 17th semaphore which contains a "magic number", to detect collision with semaphore sets used by other applications. The maximum number of semaphores in the system is set by SEMMNS, which consequently must be at least as high as max_connections plus autovacuum_max_workers, plus one extra for each 16 allowed connections plus workers (see the formula in Table 17-1). The parameter SEMMNI determines the limit on the number of semaphore sets that can exist on the system at one time. Hence this parameter must be at least ceil((max_connections + autovacuum_max_workers + 4) / 16). Lowering the number of allowed connections is a temporary workaround for failures, which are usually confusingly worded "No space left on device", from the function semget.
Various other settings related to "semaphore undo", such as SEMMNU and SEMUME, do not affect PostgreSQL.
It might, however, be necessary to modify the global ulimit information in /etc/security/limits, as the default hard limits for file sizes (fsize) and numbers of files (nofiles) might be too low.
To make these settings persist over reboots, modify /etc/sysctl.conf.
IPC parameters can be set in the System Administration Manager (SAM) under Kernel Configuration->Configurable Parameters. Choose Create A New Kernel when you're done.
The default maximum segment size is 32 MB, which is only adequate for very small PostgreSQL installations. The default maximum total size is 2097152 pages. A page is almost always 4096 bytes except in unusual kernel configurations with "huge pages" (use getconf PAGE_SIZE to verify). That makes a default limit of 8 GB, which is often enough, but not always.
In addition these settings can be preserved between reboots in the file /etc/sysctl.conf. Doing that is highly recommended.
The remaining defaults are quite generously sized, and usually do not require changes.
Note that in some OS X versions, all five shared-memory parameters must be set in /etc/sysctl.conf, else the values will be ignored.
In older OS X versions, you will need to reboot to have changes in the shared memory parameters take effect. As of 10.5 it is possible to change all but SHMMNI on the fly, using sysctl. But it's still best to set up your preferred values via /etc/sysctl.conf, so that the values will be kept across reboots.
Note that /etc/rc is usually overwritten by OS X system updates, so you should expect to have to redo these edits after each update.
In OS X 10.2 and earlier, instead edit these commands in the file /System/Library/StartupItems/SystemTuning/SystemTuning.
The factory default limit on open files is often set to "socially friendly" values that allow many users to coexist on a machine without using an inappropriate fraction of the system resources. If you run many servers on a machine this is perhaps what you want, but on dedicated servers you might want to raise this limit.
In Linux 2.4 and later, the default virtual memory behavior is not optimal for PostgreSQL. Because of the way that the kernel implements memory overcommit, the kernel might terminate the PostgreSQL postmaster (the master server process) if the memory demands of either PostgreSQL or another process cause the system to run out of virtual memory.
One way to avoid this problem is to run PostgreSQL on a machine where you can be sure that other processes will not run the machine out of memory. If memory is tight, increasing the swap space of the operating system can help avoid the problem, because the out-of-memory (OOM) killer is invoked only when physical memory and swap space are exhausted.
If PostgreSQL itself is the cause of the system running out of memory, you can avoid the problem by changing your configuration. In some cases, it may help to lower memory-related configuration parameters, particularly shared_buffers and work_mem. In other cases, the problem may be caused by allowing too many connections to the database server itself. In many cases, it may be better to reduce max_connections and instead make use of external connection-pooling software.
or placing an equivalent entry in /etc/sysctl.conf. You might also wish to modify the related setting vm.overcommit_ratio. For details see the kernel documentation file Documentation/vm/overcommit-accounting.
in the postmaster's startup script just before invoking the postmaster. Note that this action must be done as root, or it will have no effect; so a root-owned startup script is the easiest place to do it. If you do this, you may also wish to build PostgreSQL with -DLINUX_OOM_ADJ=0 added to CPPFLAGS. That will cause postmaster child processes to run with the normal oom_adj value of zero, so that the OOM killer can still target them at need.
Note: Some vendors' Linux 2.4 kernels are reported to have early versions of the 2.6 overcommit sysctl parameter. However, setting vm.overcommit_memory to 2 on a 2.4 kernel that does not have the relevant code will make things worse, not better. It is recommended that you inspect the actual kernel source code (see the function vm_enough_memory in the file mm/mmap.c) to verify what is supported in your kernel before you try this in a 2.4 installation. The presence of the overcommit-accounting documentation file should not be taken as evidence that the feature is there. If in any doubt, consult a kernel expert or your kernel vendor.

Photographer captures Missouri wildlife
The scene was Long Branch State Park near Macon. The temperature was in the low teens, the wind gusting over 30 mph. The sun was just starting its daily journey; shadows were still long. In short, it was frigid!
Our load of birders pulled into the parking lot, eager to find a rare snow bunting reported to be on the rocky shoreline.
As we unloaded, we were stunned to find Noppadol Paothong, a native of Thailand, stowing his cameras and shivering as he removed his outer winter clothing. He looked frozen.
"What are you doing here?" Ol' Clark greeted him.
"The snow bunting," he stammered, his teeth chattering. "He's down there, easy to see and very cooperative."
Noppadol, the natural history photographer for the Missouri Department of Conservation who has expanded on the legacy of his predecessor, Jim Rathert, had arrived at Long Branch Lake long before sunup and had been ready for action when the sun awakened the rare visitor from the north.
Another day in the life of Noppadol Paothong.
He had awakened at 2 a.m. at his Columbia home, packed his winter gear and cameras and was off into the darkness for another photo adventure.
"That day was a little tougher than most," he recalled recently. "I wound up with frostbite, operating the cameras briefly without gloves, and I was out of action for three days with a bad chest cold. But the pictures were priceless."
Noppadol started his journey in 1973 in Bangkok, raised with an older sister by his mother, a jeweler. He was a gifted artist who attended an art-directed high school in Bangkok, graduating in 1993. He spoke only broken English.
He had dabbled with cameras as a youngster but came to North Idaho Community College for an art education, earning an associate degree in graphic arts.
It was there he met Monica Lee, a Korean student who told him, "You're a much better photographer than a graphic designer."
They were married in 2003. Monica today works as a developer of teaching programs for Shelter Insurance agents. They have an 18-month-old daughter, Eva.
Noppadol developed his photographic skills at Missouri Southern University, then spent six years as a photographer at the Joplin Globe followed by a year with the Springfield News-Leader, where he worked the news side but always added natural history projects. He moved to the Conservation Department in 2006 and moved to Columbia in 2008.
He's very shy as he admits he has been awarded the national Mark of Excellence by the Society of Professional Journalists, the natural history Picture of the Year by the University of Missouri School of Journalism and the British Broadcasting Corp. wildlife photo finalist several times.
About 10 years ago, Noppadol began a book project, which he titled "Save the Last Dance," a photo essay of five major species of grassland grouse with a 30,000-word text written by retired Conservation Department staff writer Joel Vance.
The book project had spent half a decade at the bottom of Noppadol's priority list until 18 months ago, when Eva was born.
What began as a routine birth became life-threatening for Monica when bleeding seemed unstoppable. Monica was near death when Noppadol arrived amid a large team of physicians led by Kevin Jones.
Noppadol was allowed to say "goodbye" to Monica, but somehow the medical staff was successful, and seven hours later, Monica was on the road to recovery.
Once home, Noppadol promised: "I will finish the book. It is in her honor." And he has. It will be available by midsummer 2012. Monica? She's just fine today.
Noppadol's favorite places?
"I like to work alone where I can do both wildlife and landscapes — and tell a story. In Missouri, my favorite spots are Dunn Ranch in the northwest and the Ozark Scenic Rivers, primarily the Current River."
And, no doubt, any place where frostbite is not a guy's reward for a job well done.

Indestructible and smart: public toilet innovation in India
ict for wash
Publicatiedatum: 06/10/2016
Cor Dietvorst
The latest Sanitation News! https://t.co/J1k0Y9TxiF Thanks to @EIB @CSEINDIA @AlgernonWrites #wastewater #waterquality
An interview with sanitation entrepreneur Mayank Midha.
As a child, Mayank Midha remembers how his mother and sister suffered during long distance journeys in India. They had to "hold themselves up" because there were hardly any decent public toilets on the way.
There is still a shortage of well-maintained public toilets in India, says Mayank. This affects women and girls most. Men can more easily urinate or defecate in the open.
Indestructible toilets
On 7 September 2016, Mayank Midha won the Sanitation Innovation Accelerator 2016, a search for an inclusive and sustainable solution for rural sanitation in India. The judges praised Mayank for developing an indestructible smart toilet, which is much cheaper than comparable models without comprising on quality.
Mayank has been in the manufacturing business for the past seven years. As an engineer with a post-graduate degree in rural management, he is interested in technical solutions for the poorest people at the "Base of the Pyramid" (BoP). After completing a project to manufacture telecom enclosure panels, he saw three spare panels lying in the factory. Their structure made Mayank think, why not change some specifications and use them to construct Portable Smart Toilets?
After a year a prototype was ready in 2015 and in 2016 the stainless steel insulated GARV Toilet was born. Solar panels power LED lights and exhaust fans inside the toilet. Using stainless steel for the superstructure, toilet pans, and washbasins has multiple advantages: the units are vandal-proof, easy to clean and they don't rust. This means a higher shelf-life with lower operating costs.
Some friends helped Mayank incorporate smart technologies such as sensors and radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags. LED lights and exhaust fans switch on automatically when users open the toilet door. When users exit, the same technology can automatically activate floor washing and toilet pan washing systems.
Mayank's friends also helped design a prototype dashboard to track data on numbers of users and how many times they flushed and used the soap dispensers. This kind of data, he says, can help implementing agencies monitor their hygiene behaviour change plans.
After a first pilot in Faridabad, Haryana, a Delhi based government contractor contacted Mayank's business to install these toilets at the base of all footover or pedestrian bridges across the city. While this initial order was for portable toilets without incorporated smart technology, Mayank has now been asked to deliver 348 toilets with solar panels, LED lights and exhaust fans.
GARV Toilets are available in six models. One in particular has caught the attention of government agencies: "Toilets for her". This model includes a sanitary pad vending machine with sanitary pad incinerators. Another model, suited for areas without sewerage connections, is equipped with biodigesters, which process the faecal matter through bacterial action. The only output is an odourless, colourless liquid that can be used as a pesticide spray.
Using GARV Toilets is free. Experience shows that coin-operated public toilets don't work well in India. For every denomination of coin there are different sizes in circulation.
GARV Toilets preferred business model is to set up public-private partnerships with municipal corporations for both installation and operation & maintenance of toilets. Extra revenue can be generated via advertising and business partnerships. This can involve partnering with mobile phone operators, who lease out WiFi hotspots and provide mobile phone recharging services and owners of small kiosks.
Above all, Mayank wants his products to be affordable and "ethically" priced.
Sanitation Innovation Accelerator
When asked how the Sanitation Innovation Accelerator (SIA) initiative has helped him, Mayank says it is an amazing platform for a startup company. He got access to a "huge set of experts and mentors". The SIA initiators, Ennovent, IRC and TARU Leading Edge, send Mayank invitations to roundtables and sanitation dialogues. Ennovent is partnering with his company to jointly pitch to investors to scale-up sales of GARV Toilets.
At the SIA launch event on 23-25 May 2016, Mayank met the CEO of Samagra, Swapnil Chaturvedi aka "The Poop Guy". Within one month, Samagra requested Mayank's company to come up with an alternative solution for the public toilets they operate in Pune. Samagra was facing big problems: every 2-3 months they were spending US$ 200 per toilet unit to replace vandalised ceramic pans. In addition, every Samagra toilet unit had a different size. They wanted a customised, vandal-proof model with a stainless steel floor and toilet pan. In September 2016, GARV Toilets delivered 150 units to Samagra. Now both companies are discussing ways to collaborate and offer turnkey solutions to government bodies for installing and maintaining public toilets.
GARV Toilets are currently seeking corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds for further product development. Mayank says he would also like to develop waste management services. Government agencies have expressed interest in the biodigester tank option for areas unconnected to sewage lines.
Mayank has taken his startup company into new territory, venturing beyond India's borders into Bhutan. He has just signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to install toilets in the capital Thimphu.
Mayank Midha has successfully linked his innovative approach with a sound business model. He represents a new breed of sanitation entrepreneurs who are much needed in India.

Arvid Nordquist Pays Homage To The Women Who Grow It
by Casha Doemland on 06/11/2019 | 2 Minute Read
Designed by Swedish-based design agency, Pond Design, Arvid Nordquist's newest designs set them apart from the rest with the vivid use of color and the hand-drawn illustrations. Considering both of these aspects were chosen to pay homage to sustainability projects revolving around coffee-producing countries and the individuals who work on the coffee plantations, our interest is piqued.
"Arvid Nordquist's interest in taste began when he opened Delicatessen at Nybrogatan in Stockholm, Sweden in 1884. Today, Arvid Nordquist is one of the fastest growing coffee brand in Sweden and has a master blender and roastery in Stockholm. In addition, Arvid Nordquist is a Nordic trading company with operations in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark."
"Mission Arvid Nordqust works tirelessly with sustainability projects, supporting both coffee-producing countries and the people who work with their coffee. The initiative World Coffee Project aims to create a more sustainable world beyond sustainability certifications. The brief was to create a concept for the new out-of-home range focusing on two specific projects: Senoras, which supports coffee plantations run by women, and Kahawa Tembo that helps saving elephants whose natural habitat lies near the areas where the coffee is grown."
"Idea To tell these stories, we created a bold and confident design that breaks the usual coffee category cues, which quite often are focused on tradition, heritage and craft. Using vivid, strong colors and artistic illustrations, we combined hand-drawn illustrations with digital layers, adding an exciting clash between a traditional and a more modern urban style. The motives clearly show whom the projects support and in what way."

What If...La Croix Went Through A Brand Reboot?


We were apporaoched by Oggi's to rebrand and redesign their existing restaurant format. We completely reinvented the layout and materials in order to create a more sophisticated and livley atmosphere. We used some classic materials, brick and wood, but kept the lines of the space very modern. We used black and white graphics and signage as a nod to the past. We feel that we have created a space that is both sports oriented and family friendly.
We decided to concentrate on the elements of the beer, which is produced by the company, the pizza, which is the heart and soul of the menu, and the sports bar theme. We did this by creating design elements inside the restaurant that would appeal to each aspect of the brand. By streamlining the design to use these elements, in addition to a more modern aesthetic, we were able to make a distinct shift in the atmosphere of the restaurant and create a prototype that can be adapted to several locations.


"Elastic network normal modes provide a basis for protein structure ref" by Pawel Gniewek, Andrzej Kolinski et al.
It is well recognized that thermal motions of atoms in the protein native state, the fluctuations about the minimum of the global free energy, are well reproduced by the simple elastic network models (ENMs) such as the anisotropic network model (ANM). Elasticnetwork models represent protein dynamics as vibrations of a network of nodes (usually represented by positions of the heavy atoms or by the Cα atoms only for coarse-grained representations) in which the spatially close nodes are connected by harmonic springs. These models provide a reliable representation of the fluctuational dynamics of proteins and RNA, and explain various conformational changes in protein structures including those important for ligand binding. In the present paper, we study the problem of protein structure refinement by analyzing thermal motions of proteins in non-native states. We represent the conformational space close to the native state by a set of decoys generated by the I-TASSER protein structure prediction server utilizing template-free modeling. The protein substates are selected by hierarchical structure clustering. The main finding is that thermal motions for some substates, overlap significantly with the deformations necessary to reach the native state. Additionally, more mobile residues yield higher overlaps with the required deformations than do the less mobile ones. These findings suggest that structural refinement of poorly resolved protein models can be significantly enhanced by reduction of the conformational space to the motions imposed by the dominant normal modes.

Top Republicans reject Trump's suggestion to delay election
Top Republicans in Congress shot down President Trump's suggestion on Thursday to delay November's election, which he made on Twitter while claiming, without evidence, that mail-in voting will cause mass voter fraud.
Why it matters:: Congress, not the president, has the sole power to change the date of Election Day.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.): "Never in the history of the country, through wars, depressions, and the Civil War have we ever not had a federally scheduled election on time, and we'll find a way to do that again this Nov. 3 ... We'll cope with whatever the situation is and have the election on Nov. 3 as already scheduled."
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.): "Never in the history of federal elections have we ever not held an election and we should go forward with our election."
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.): "If we were to delay the election past Jan. 20, the president would be the speaker of the House. So I wonder if anyone's thought about that. I'm just going to go check the Constitution to make sure I didn't misread it."
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa): "It doesn't matter what an individual in this country says, we still are a country based on the rule of law, we must follow the law until either the Constitution is changed or until the law is changed."
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): "I don't think that's a particularly good idea."
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.): "He can suggest whatever he wants. The law is what it is. We're going to have an election that's legitimate, it's going to be credible, it's going to be the same as we've always done it."
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC): "The election is not going to be delayed in spite of the fact that several states delayed the election but we got to make sure that we have the resources and we don't have the debacle that we're seeing in say, the state of New York. The election is going to happen in November, period."
Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.): "There will be no delay in the #2020Election. Congress sets the election date, and it should not be changed. It will be held on November 3rd, as planned and required by law."
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah): "So I'm a fan of voting by mail. Secondly, of course we are going to have an election on time. It's unthinkable that that would not be the case."
Sen. Kevin Gramer (R-N.D.): "I think that if you guys take the bait he'll be the happiest guy in town. I read it. I laughed I thought my gosh this is going to consume a lot of people, except real people. And it was clever." Cramer told CNN's Manu Raju that he does not support a delay.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX): "Election fraud is a serious problem we need to stop it and fight it, but no the election should not be delayed."
Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.): "No, we are not going to delay the election. ... We're going to have the election completed and voting completed by Election Day."

Following up on my intentions to share the Weber family photos recently acquired due to the generosity of our cousin Carole Greer, here we go. These carefree folks are three of the Weber sisters with one of their brothers. Left to right the three ladies sitting and standing against the car are Alberta, Catherine and Edith. The guy seated on the running board is Herbert Weber. There's a note on the photo that says that their brother, Clarence, was the photographer. These siblings were born between 1896 and 1908. That would be five of the eleven children of Harry Adam and Mary Anna (Keen) Weber of Indianapolis.
I'm estimating this photo to be about 1930. Don't you just love the attire, and especially the ukulele that Catherine seems to be ready to strum. Looks like a nice Sunday afternoon drive. Wish I knew more. But I'm very pleased to have this snippet of the Weber family life. Hope others enjoy it as well. I'll be sending along more of the same.
On August 29, last month, I posted the photo of the home where these Webers grew up. If you'd like to take a look, just page back a few posts. There are other related posts for this family under the Weber tab in the left column.


Thanks for having me, Kat. Love your background.
I love a little paranormal element in the books I read.
Hi Charlene, Not sure how I missed this blog post but I did find it. I keep going down the list on your blog.
I like a little paranormal element in my books and I am looking forward to reading your book.
