While network marketing has some unique techniques due to the dual nature of the business, all of the more traditional marketing techniques will work as well. You are still trying to sell one or more products, and you need to target a market and get your sales message out to them. The advantage of network marketing over other forms is that your recruits are also increasing your profits over time. By using good techniques to build your business, you can benefit not only your personal customers, but those in your down line as well. This article will teach you ways to better you reach your customers which you can then tailor to your product and pass on to your affiliates.
While you may be working from home in your PJ's, you should be ready to treat it with the same respect you would a job that required you to wear a suit every day. Remember that while you may be running a small fledgling business out of your kitchen, you are probably representing the interests of a large corporation. This is the image you want to present to your customers and recruits. Once you are successful, you will be able to take off your imaginary tie more often and enjoy the business you have built for yourself. Until then it is time to work hard and stay serious about what you are doing.
Building a successful business takes a long time and a monumental effort. You may feel like the day will never come when you can take that dream vacation or spend an extra day every week with your family. To make it easier, try creating milestones for yourself, as well as dates you want them completed by. Give yourself a small reward each time you achieve one of these milestones. By setting small goals and achieving them, you can keep yourself on the path to greater success.
There is strong evidence to suggest that humans would rather take a greater risk than suffer loss. A great example of this is gamblers on a losing streak. They would be better off cutting their loses, and yet they continue to gamble in hopes of getting their money back. Don't make that mistake with your business. If something isn't working for you, get rid of it. It is more profitable to invest money into a new project than to keep dumping it into a failed one. You need to accept that not every choice you make will be the correct one.
Keep in mind how powerful the Internet can be for you. Many people have achieved their dreams working online. It is so easily accessible to you, all you need to do is learn to use it properly. The best part is you don't need a large amount of start up capital to open an online store.
If you are considering starting a network marketing business, you owe it yourself to educate yourself as much as possible about the topic. You will need to be able to build a plan for success before you ever get started. While it does take a lot of hard work, not many businesses offer so much opportunity for profit with so little capital.

The forward march of automation, much of which is being driven by innovation in the tech community, indicates strong industry advancement. However, it comes at the cost of economic anxiety for many of the people - often not the decision-makers - who are potentially displaced by this tech progress. As entrepreneurs and tech leaders, we have an obligation to offer solutions to ease this uncertainty.
With opportune timing, this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland focused on "responsible and responsive leadership," as worldwide alarm grew over increased protectionism and the renewed rise of nationalism in countries like the U.S. and Great Britain. The wave of terrorist attacks across Europe further strengthened the call to fortify borders and develop protectionist policies that place the security of their country above unification and globalization.
WEF's leaders echoed this concern by placing the surge in anti-global sentiment front and center as the key agenda item during the four-day summit. Many leaders addressed the issue in their opening remarks, holding nothing back, as they urged leaders to develop credible actions to stop the downward spiral that threatens the global economy.
In a nod to the very real pain felt by many who have not benefited from the Fourth Industrial Revolution, but rather have felt greater inequality and unemployment, WEF encouraged leaders from all walks of life to rededicate themselves to the development of common goals and new initiatives that benefit everyone.
WEF states that they recognize these opposing forces and seek to exercise shared stewardship of critical systems and the development of equitable, global growth. Two of the summit's key discussions are points that I, as an entrepreneur, found incredibly interesting and encouraging.
From across the world, Alibaba's Jack Ma argued that the fear of globalization was sparked internally within the U.S. by the way that funds are distributed by civic and business leaders. He said that the U.S. spent over $14 trillion on wars over the last 30 years rather than "helping the Midwest" and improving schools, and expressed his desire to work together with new leadership.
Many of these proclamations were in direct response to statements made by President Trump throughout his campaign, his time as president-elect, and now as President.
Many panels in Davos revolved around artificial intelligence and the threat of automation. One in particular discussed the potential benefits of artificial intelligence as it relates to finance, healthcare and education.
It also covered the significant threat of job elimination through increased automated technology. On the panel, IBM Chief Executive, Ginni Rometty, acknowledged the fear of losing jobs to this technology but added that technological breakthroughs historically lead to unforeseen employment opportunities.
Though other commentators responded with doubt, Richard Lumb, CEO of Accenture, explained that while automation replaced 17,000 jobs at Accenture in the last 18 months, rather than laying those people off, they were able to reposition them. Repositioning employees may not be scalable for all companies, but is a key example of how business are adapting to disruption. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, recalled that an estimated 65% of children entering primary school today will have to prepare for jobs in categories that don't yet exist.
Organizations like Chicago Tech Academy provide mentorship from the tech community and teach high school students skills such as how to think critically about real-world problems, solve them with tech and collaboration, and create business plans to bring them to life. This enables a diverse workforce to approach the tech and political problems of tomorrow, whether that includes finding solutions to job displacement due to automation or ensuring true, factual news stories are shared.
Each U.S. region has industry or vertical expertise. Detroit - auto, New York - finance, Midwest - agriculture (and others). Rather than ship agtech expertise to the coasts, it should be developed and grown in its communities. This expands innovation hubs across the country facilitating job creation in the heartland and calming social unrest.
Entrepreneurial support of legislation like the BRIDGE Act enables U.S.-educated immigrants to legally work in the U.S. as well as create and build businesses here. In 2014, 28 percent of all new entrepreneurs were immigrants. Beyond founders, tech companies in particular are propped up by engineering, software development, and other entrepreneurial skills that often stem from immigrant talent. The current political climate threatens the foundation of the American dream by working to shut out ambitious immigrant talent that brings different perspective to the table. The same perspective that might help create jobs in the U.S. for the workers displaced by automation.
One final thought from WEF that resonated with me and further supports these solutions, is the multi-stakeholder perspective. It revolves around the idea that the only way to address significant challenges is to discuss them with all groups in society and all members of the international community. Proven to form relevant discussions globally since the first World Economic Forum in 1971, it supports the entrepreneurial theory that collaboration speeds up progress.

CARE calls for urgent assistance to evacuees from Aleppo
CARE welcomes the announcement of a new ceasefire in Aleppo this morning. For the sake of the civilians, we ask the parties to make sure that this ceasefire lasts for much longer than just a few hours. There have been many disappointments over promises made during the past few days and weeks. Parties to the conflict can't toy with the life and hopes of hundreds of thousands of civilians.
There are reports on the Syrian government and its allies hindering the evacuation process, including that of the wounded. The evacuation seems to be happening but not as urgently as it needs to be.
We call on the UN and its partners to urgently prepare to meet the needs of evacuees. Civilians from Aleppo have been deprived from everything. They will need shelter, food, medicine. They have suffered from atrocities and are traumatized. They will also need psyco-social support. We call on a rapid coordination of the humanitarian actors working in this region, and for immediate access to those in need.
We should keep in mind that this evacuation agreement cannot erase months of illegal besiegement as well as years of brutal, indiscriminate bombing. The violations of international humanitarian laws must stop now. Today it is Aleppo, tomorrow it might be another Syrian city. Hundreds of thousands more of civilians could be targeted, injured, and killed. It can't continue like this.
With the European Council meeting today, we call on the European governments to state affirmatively that there will be consequences for war crimes committed by all parties to the conflict in Syria. Atrocities have continued on an unprecedented scale in Aleppo and will happen again in other parts of Syria unless there is urgent action from the international community that it cannot tolerate the inhumane situation in Syria anymore.

Indonesian Companies Still Owe $1.3 Billion in Fines for Their Slash and Burn
JAKARTA – Eleven Indonesian agricultural and logging companies still owe the state nearly $1.3 billion in compensation for civil cases in which they were found responsible for causing fires and illegal logging, Greenpeace Indonesia announced on Friday.
The environmental NGO's investigation focuses on complaints filed against 10 companies between 2012-2015 over forest fires and another case for illegal logging against Merbau Pelalawan Lestari, whose criminal activities took place between 2004-2013.
The fines against Merbau Pelalawan Lestari comprises most of the debt (about $1.15 billion), while two of the other cases are still pending judicial review, NGO sources told EFE.
"By not enforcing these laws the government is sending a dangerous message: company profit comes before law, clean air, health and forest protection," Arie Rompas, team leader of Greenpeace Indonesia, said in a statement.
"What the government has done is not enough. Because the fines have not been paid yet. As we see, the value of the fines is already quite large. If they are not paid, it does not give a deterrent effect. The companies will not have the desire to pay if the court and the government do not execute the payment," Arie added.
Of the 10 companies responsible for the fires, eight belong to the palm oil sector, one is a paper company, and another cultivates sago, a starch extracted from palm trees of the same name.
Five of the palm oil companies set fires in 2015, one of the worst years of forest fires in Indonesia in decades.
That year a total of nearly 2.6 million hectares of land were burned on the islands of Sumatra, Borneo and Papua, and the fires caused losses valued at $16 billion, according to World Bank data.
The cloud of smoke from the fires affected people in Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore and prompted Indonesian President Joko Widodo to make sure he would punish those responsible.
Indonesia is the largest producer of palm oil in the world and one of the largest producers of paper and wood, industries that, together with mining, contribute to deforestation and high emissions of carbon dioxide.

The Port Washington Public Library produced "Gallery Talks" during which photographers, filmmakers and videographers were interviewed and gave screenings and slide presentations of their work. This collection contains audio and video recordings of the interviews and talks, slides used during the presentations, and files of printed material on the artists.
Biographical/historical: In 1970, a New York State Council on the Arts grant enabled the Port Washington Public Library to originate a video project in which volunteers were trained to produce videotapes of community events. From 1970 to 1980, they produced over one thousand tapes. A few of these recordings were cleaned and copied onto VHS for the Library's Centennial Celebration by independent video maker David Shulman. Between 1980 and 1987, NYSCA funding supported the continuation of the video project. Most of the five hundred tapes produced during this period are of interviews and gallery talks presented in conjunction with exhibitions at the Port Washington Public Library. There are also videos acquired from outside sources and produced by other companies.

Leonard Nimoy gained global recognition as the part human-part Vulcan first officer, Mr. Spock in Starship Enterprise in the television series and then movie adaption, Star Trek. His popularity can be gauged by the fact that when J. J. Abrams rebooted the series in 2009, Leonard Nimoy was the only one from the original cast to be brought back. Born on March 26, 1931 in Boston, Nimoy started his career in 1950s starring in small time horror flicks followed by a slew of television series such as The Twilight Zone and Gunsmoke. It was only in 1966 when he got his most famous role to date as Mr. Spock.
He would go on to direct two Star Trek sequels and Three Men and a Baby. A little less known fact is that Nimoy was also a singer and churned out five albums starting with Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock's Music From Outer Space. Nimoy also wrote two autobiographies, I Am Not Spock in 1975 and I Am Spock in 1995.
His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed his death on Friday morning at the age of 83. The cause being end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which Nimoy earlier blamed to years of smoking.

Clean Transportation System – Research and Development Program (CTS-RD): Applicant's Guide
Technological advancements are expected to play a significant role in de-coupling transportation-related greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions from economic growth, ultimately supporting the sector's contribution to meeting Canada's climate change goals.
The Clean Transportation System Research and Development Program (CTS-RD) supports needed research in the aviation, marine, and rail sectors. It gathers the technical information we need to develop evidence-based regulations and measures to reduce emissions, and achieve Canada's goal of reducing GHG emissions.
Find out if you are eligible to apply, what to submit as part of your application and how we assess applications.
The CTS-RD is now open for applications. We are accepting applications until April 15, 2021.

Merit Selection criteria
In 2018, the transportation sector was the second largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It accounted for 26% (187 Mt CO2 eq) of total national emissions. Between 1990 and 2018, GHG emissions from the transportation sector grew by 51%.
Canada has set aggressive GHG reduction targets for 2030 and 2050 as a part of its commitments under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. In particular, the 2050 target of net-zero carbon emissions will require broad accessibility of commercially viable technologies capable of using zero-emission, or renewable-fuels. Although the aviation, marine, and rail modes account for a small percentage of total transportation emissions, the technologies that would position them for net-zero operations in 2050 are not yet commercially available.
Criteria Air Contaminants (CAC) emissions are produced from the combustion of fossil fuels used by the aviation, marine, and rail sectors. Compounds such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur oxides (SOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contribute to poor air quality and the formation of smog and acid rain. They can also be hazardous to human health and the environment.
Transport Canada established the Clean Transportation System - Research & Development (CTS-RD) Program (the Program) to support ongoing efforts to reduce emissions from the aviation, marine, and rail industries.
The Program funds research, testing and demonstration of clean transportation technologies, in order to advance scientific knowledge, and accelerate their safe and timely adoption in Canada
The Program's objective is to advance scientific knowledge, and the development of technologies, that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG), and/or criteria air contaminants (CAC) emissions from the aviation, marine, and rail modes of transportation. Each of these modes face different challenges in achieving significant emission reductions, and are at different levels of current technological maturity.
For the marine and rail transportation sectors, this call for proposals is seeking projects that would support the demonstration and pilot deployment of low-carbon and zero-emission technologies in real-world testing.
For aviation, this call for proposals is seeking research and technology development projects related to low-carbon and zero-emission technologies, or research that would contribute to the scientific understanding of the effects that GHGs and/or CACs, have on climate and human health or the formation of secondary emissions species.
Eligible recipients include:
provinces and territories, including provincially and territorially owned entities
municipalities, including municipality-owned entities, and local and regional governments
Indigenous groups, communities, organizations and development corporations
public sector organizations
not-for-profit private sector organizations
for profit sector organizations
Canadian airports, ports (subject to section 25 of the Canada Marine Act ), and transit authorities
international organizations – for example, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) or International Maritime Organization (IMO)
foreign states and foreign state entities – for example, foreign departments of transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
* foreign states and entities applying for grant funding must demonstrate how their project provides value and contributes to advancement of knowledge in Canada to support reduction of emissions (e.g., undertaking the project in Canada, sharing data with relevant Canadian stakeholders).
The total available CTS-RD funding is up to $600,000 annually.
Funding is provided as grants to support projects focused on the Aviation, Marine, and Rail sectors.
The maximum amount of funding supplied to an individual project cannot exceed $100,000 per year.
Recipients may be reimbursed up to 50% of eligible expenditures.
Projects should begin upon approval by Transport Canada (TC), and must be completed by March 31, 2024.
* Total funding allocated under this call for proposals will be based upon the number of eligible projects submitted and their respective funding requirements. Depending on demand, a portion of funding could be reserved to support future call for proposals, or innovative transfer payment programs, e.g. competition/prizes through Impact Canada.

An Estonian-born lawyer has been recruited by an expanding Shropshire law firm. Marina Hadorik, who had worked within county legal businesses in a range of roles for eight years, joins Wace Morgan Solicitor's Shrewsbury office specialising in family law.
Marina, who has lived in Shrewsbury for almost a decade, not only offers advice and assistance to Shropshire based clients but also represents Russian speaking clients nationally.
Marina graduated in social sciences from Tallinn University of Technology in Estonia with a thesis on the prevention of torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment in Estonian prisons.
She went on to work at the Legal Information Centre for Human Rights in Estonia before moving to the UK where she gained a graduate diploma in law and a distinction in her legal practice course from the College of Law in Chester.
She was elected a vice-chair of the Shropshire Junior Lawyers Division in 2012 and plays an active role in running the group by organising educational and social events benefitting young lawyers and lawyers to be.
"I am delighted to have moved on to a prestigious firm such as Wace Morgan, where I will work as part of the family department team, particularly dealing with divorce, finances and cohabitation disputes," commented Marina.


More than 90 million people will be traveling home for the holidays this week. Getting your vehicle ready to travel is one of the most important ways to keep yourself and your family safe and to avoid mishaps along the road.
You certainly want to prepare. Check the Internet to see what the weather forecast is in the area that you'll be traveling. You may want to leave a little earlier to avoid bad weather, or you may want to allow yourself more time for traffic or the possibility of snow on the roads… use your good common sense. Fill your windshield wiper fluid and tires to recommended levels. If you know you will be driving through snow, throw in some ice melt, kitty litter, or gravel for traction.
If you do break down, the time it takes a towing company to get to you might be longer than usual. They see a huge jump in accidents close to the holidays. You may have to wait an hour or two before help arrives, so prepare for that by making sure that your gas tank is full and be sure to pack extra blankets and food.
Other things to remember are to make sure you don't always count on your GPS; have a backup plan for directions. If your wind shield looks like it has streaks on it it's probably time to change your wiper blades. And finally, slow down.
We can never know what might happen while we are off the road, so it's better to keep those traffic rules and safety guidelines in mind always. Ensuring that the auto-vehicle is in good condition before going off is a good start to avoid unfortunate incident. Also, keeping tools in hand is smart in case of road problems.

L'Antica gran loggia d'Inghilterra o Gran loggia degli antichi ed accettati massoni d'Inghilterra, secondo le Antiche costituzioni (Ancient Grand Lodge of England o Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of England, according to the Old Constitutions) fu il prodotto della scissione di alcune logge dalla prima gran loggia d'Inghilterra (Grand Lodge of England).

Fu anche informalmente chiamata "Atholl Grand Lodge", perché il terzo e il quarto duca di Atholl la presiedettero negli anni 1771-1781 e 1791-1812 come gran maestri.

Essa operò dal 1751 al 1813 quando si unificò con quest'ultima dando luogo alla Gran loggia Unita d'Inghilterra (United Grand Lodge of England). I membri della "Ancient Grand Lodge of England" si definivano "antichi" (Ancients) distinguendosi dai membri della GLE chiamati con un certo sprezzo "moderni" (Moderns).

Storia
La gran loggia fu fondata nel 1751 principalmente da massoni irlandesi di religione cattolica, che erano insoddisfatti per il modo in cui la massoneria era praticata dalla Gran loggia d'Inghilterra. Il 17 luglio 1751, i rappresentanti di cinque logge si riunirono presso la taverna di Turk's Head, in Greek Street, Soho, Londra - formando una gran loggia rivale alla GLE. Quest'ultima era accusata di non aderire agli antichi principi della massoneria e sostenendo che solo loro accoglievano le antiche regole di "mestiere" (Craft).

Costituzione
Laurence Dermott scrisse una costituzione per gli Ancients, la Ahiman Rezon, come alternativa alle costituzioni dei "Moderns" scritte da James Anderson.

Gran maestri
 1753, Robert Turner
 1754-1756, Edward Vaughan

Legislative aspect
Preparing for a research mission
The research mission
Processing bathymetry data
Identifying a wreck
1. Legislative Aspect
1.1 Lawful Hunting
In Quebec, in order to look for or excavate wrecks you must have an archaeological research permit. Section 68 of the Cultural Heritage Act (R.S.Q., 2011, chap. 21, division VI, p.19) states, "No person may carry out excavations or surveys to find archaeological property or sites in or on an immovable without having previously obtained an archaeological research permit from the Minister […]".
Thus, it is illegal to use geophysical detection methods and dive to locate wrecks without first obtaining a permit from the Quebec Ministry of Culture and Communications (MCC). AECOM's Érik Phaneuf obtained the permit and accompanied our team in the field for this project.
1.2 What is a Wreck?
From a legal standpoint, defining a wreck is quite a tricky affair. According to Transports Canada, "a wreck can be a ship or boat of any description, an aircraft, or a part of a ship, boat or airplane (e.g. cargo, stores, tackle); it can be any part of a ship, boat or aircraft that floats, sinks to the bottom or lands ashore; it can be cargo or the personal belongings of the crew or those shipwrecked persons" (Transports Canada, 2014).
Wrecks can be given patrimonial titles. In Quebec, so-called patrimonial wrecks, which unofficially must be at least 50 years old, are not specifically mentioned in law, but are considered to be archaeological sites. The new Cultural Heritage Act (R.S.Q., 2011), which came into effect in 2013, defines "archaeological property" and "archaeological site" as "any property or site indicating prehistoric or historic human occupation", and "heritage site" as "a place […], a land area that is of interest for its archaeological, architectural, artistic, emblematic, ethnological, historical, […]" (R.S.Q., 2011, chap. 1, p. 5-6). Furthermore, according to Section 48 of this same Act, "No person may, without the Minister's authorization, alter, restore, repair, change in any way or demolish all or part of a classified heritage property […]" (R.S.Q., 2011, chap. 3, division IV, p. 15).
1.3 Locating a Wreck
Our legal responsibility does not end once a wreck has been located. In fact, locating a wreck is subject to provincial and federal legislation. A statutory declaration must be made to both levels of government.
Regarding the Federal Government: Article 155 of the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 (S.C. 2001, c. 26) states that, "any person who finds and takes possession of a wreck in Canada, or who brings wreck into Canada, the owner of which is not known, shall, as soon as feasible:
a) report it to a receiver of wreck and provide the information and documents requested; and
b) take any measures with respect to the wreck that the receiver of wreck directs, including delivering it to the receiver of wreck within the period specified by the receiver, or keeping it in their possession in accordance with the instructions of the receiver.
Regarding the Provincial Government: Section 74 of the Cultural Heritage Act states that, "a person who discovers an archaeological property or site must inform the Minister of it without delay" (R.S.Q., 2011, chap. 3, division VI, p. 20). Section 202 of this same Act sets forth, "a person who does not immediately inform the Minister of the discovery of an archaeological property or site in accordance with section 74 […] is guilty of an offense and is liable, in the case of a natural person, to a fine of $2,000 to $30,000 and, in the case of a legal person, to a fine of $6,000 to $180,000 (R.S.Q., 2011, chap. 8, division 2, p. 46).
2. Preparing for a Research Mission
2.1 What are we looking for?
Following extensive research, Samuel Côté identified 16 ships that were sunk in Quebec during the Battle of the St. Lawrence. Prior to our research mission, only three wrecks had been located.
2.2 Where should we look?
The primary and secondary sources compiled by Samuel allowed us to position each wreck. Several parametres were taken into account to determine the final position, such as:
The likely position and the time it was torpedoed
How long it took the ship to sink
The distance between the U-boat and the ship at the time of the attack
The distance between the convoy ships
Studying surface current archives (speed and direction)
The ship's size
The torpedo impact point.
The positions were more or less precise. Precision depends on the source. For example, the wreck of the Carolus, which was located in 2006, is about 2.5km from the likely position when it was torpedoed, which was taken from a document entitled: Précisions sur des attaques de sous-marins ennemis contre des navires marchands. Several factors can explain the approximate positioning of the wrecks:
The captain of the torpedoed ship, given the confusion, had trouble estimating his location
The captain, when writing his attack report a couple of days later, perhaps logged the wrong position.
In some cases, the ship drifted before sinking.
The positions of the 16 ships were then mapped out and assigned a confidence index in terms of precision.
2.3 How can we choose?
Looking for wrecks is a relatively long process and, therefore, we simply could not try to locate all of the wrecks during the summer of 2015. Thus, we elected to target two research areas. We made this choice based on the position confidence index. After sever discussions, we decided to focus on the wrecks off the tip of the Gaspé Peninsular. Hence, we looked for:
The Mount Pindus
The Mount Taygetus
The Oakton
The Inger Elisabeth
The Saturnus
2.4 Further Indicators
Despite the already-accomplished work, our research areas were still too vast. We therefore had to find further indicators to give us the best possible odds.
Bathymetry Study
Bathymetric data in the St. Lawrence River.
A wreck on the seabed creates an unnatural landform. Topography of the seabed is called bathymetry. Thus, when a wreck is present there is a change in bathymetry. You can access bathymetries of much of our planet's seabed through various tools, although the precision may vary. In Canada, you can access bathymetry data through the Canadian Hydrography Service (SHC). 500m resolution data is available at the following address. You can acquire higher resolution bathymetry data by requesting it from the SHC.
Before heading off on our mission, we studied the SHC's bathymetry data to see if we could find any shapes that could have been wrecks. After examining the data, we identified several targets.
Left to right: Guy Sainte-Croix (witness), Émilie Devoe (Parks Canada), Alain St-Pierre (CIDCO), Sylvain Gautier (CIDCO)
During our research, we noticed that some people who witnessed the Battle of the St. Lawrence remember having seen the sinking of the wrecks we were looking for. They very generously shared their memories with us.
No one saw the Mount Taygetus, the Mount Pindus or the Oakton sinking, as they were too far from the shore. However, Cap-des-Rosiers inhabitants witnessed both the Inger Elisabeth and the Saturnus sinking. One witness, who was out on his barge fishing, recalls: "the first ship sank quickly and broke into two, it was at the front of the convoy. The second ship was in the middle of the convoy, it took longer to sink." Another witness told us that you could see the two ships from the Cap-des-Rosiers lighthouse, and that explosions took place right in the middle of an area for fishing herring. At the time, depths were measured in line. Mr. Sainte-Croix told us his story in such a detailed way it seemed like it had only happened yesterday. Thanks to his testimony we can convert the local measurements into fathoms and metres.
This precious information allowed us to refine our research areas and prioritize certain targets using bathymetry data.
3. The Research Mission
Once we had all the information we needed, we set out into the field to see what was underwater.
3.1 Seeing Underwater
We cannot see underwater like we can see on the ground. On the ground we perceive information through optical wavelengths. However, optical wavelengths do not travel well through water and so our field of vision is severely reduced. In order to perceive information across long distances underwater, you have to use acoustic wavelengths as, for example, marine mammals do.
The overall rule for using acoustic wavelengths is simple: we send sound into the water, when it hits a target (the seabed, for example), the sound bounces back in the direction it came from. We calculate the time it takes for the sound to reach the target and return to us in order to obtain a distance and depth.
General rule for calculating depth using an echo sounder.
The tool used to send and receive sound underwater is called an echo sounder. There are several different types of echo sounders, for our wreck location project we used a multibeam echo sounder. Multibeam echo sounders allow you to obtain depth measurement under and at the side of a boat while it's moving.
General rule for multibeam echo sounders.
By passing over the area several times you can obtain depth measurements across the entire area. Thus, you can make out the shape on the seabed, i.e. the bathymetry of the area, and recognize certain shapes, such as those that resemble shipwrecks.
Numerical model of the area obtained with a multibeam echo sounder.
People who use echo sounders for bathymetry are known as hydrographers. If you would like to find out more information about this job, you can contact the CIDCO team or have a look at this website (in French): http://carrierehydrographe.weebly.com/
3.2 Research Boats
We used two boats to locate wrecks from the Battle of the St. Lawrence:
The F.J. Saucier, CIDCO's surveying star. This boat can be deployed quickly and manoeuvre in shallow depths. It is 8.2-metres-long and has a 0.7 metre draft.
The Coriolis II, a Canadian oceanographic research ship that belongs to the REFORMAR consortium. We were able to use this ship to travel further away from the coast and thus carry out bathymetry at great depths. It is 50-metres-long and has a 5.2 metre draft.
3.3 Insonified Areas
When we travel over an area using an echo sounder we say that we are insonifying the area. During this project, we spent three days at sea and insonified a total of 220 km2 of the seabed.
Looking for the Inger Elisabeth and the Saturnus.
Looking for the Mount Pindus, the Mount Taygetus and the Oakton.
4. Processing Bathymetry Data
After our research mission, we returned home with tonnes of research we needed to analyze in order to confirm the discovery of wrecks. The first step was to clean the data in order to take out the non-pertinent information that was interfering with our analysis. Whenever we saw what we believed to be the shape of a wreck, we took its measurements to confirm whether or not it was.
Measuring size using acoustic data.
5. Identifying a Wreck
Once the CIDCO team finished their wreck data analysis, all of the information was transferred to Samuel Côté and Érik Phaneuf so they could identify the wreck and report it to the government.
Bathymetry data provided us with sizes, it also allowed us to discover the current state of the wreck and to learn more about damages to the ship. Thus, by crosschecking this information with our bibliographic sources about the shipwreck, we were able to identify the wrecks.

Nicki Minaj Ties Beyonce for Most Top 10 Songs Among Women on Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Chart

Nicki Minaj's upcoming album may have run into a delay, but the rapper is still achieving feats on the Billboard charts. According to a May 25 report from Billboard, Minaj has tied Beyonce for the most top 10 songs among women on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay Chart.
The achievement came after Nicki's "Chun-Li" jumped from No. 11 to No. 8, earning the rapper her 30th top 10 song on the chart. With Nicki and Bey both tied at 30, the artists are only one top 10 song behind rapper T.I. and two songs behind Usher.
Beyonce's husband, Jay-Z, sits at the No. 4 spot with 35 top 10 songs, while Chris Brown is at No. 3 with 48. The No. 2 and No. 1 spot will be a little harder for Nicki to reach, as Drake and Lil Wayne sit at one and two with 58 and 54 songs, respectively.
Nicki's first entry on the chart came way back on May 8, 2010, when her collaboration with Ludacris on "My Chick Bad" hit No. 2. Minaj quickly followed that up a few weeks later when Usher's "Lil Freak" reached No. 5. Since then, Nicki has seen songs such as "MotorSport," "Rake It Up," "Feeling Myself" and "Truffle Butter" all reach the top 10.
Minaj will look to follow up the success of "Chun-Li" with her next single but that may take some time as her forthcoming album, Queen, has been delayed until August. Originally set to release on June 15, Nicki broke the news on Instagram on Thursday (May 24).
"The album itself I think I want to put out on August 10," she told her fans on IG Live. "I want to put out my second single, which I'm really, really excited about, and I want to now start an official countdown."
While the rapper didn't reveal a reason for delaying the album, June will be a crowded month for hip-hop album releases with records from Kanye West, Nas, Kid Cudi and more all set to release.

I have an RTSP stream from a camera in this URL: rtsp://81.218.63.130:88/live/h264_ulaw This streams the video in h.264 encoder and the audio as mu law 8000 Hz PCM. If I use VLC I can see and hear well. Also, while watching the stream when Wowza restream it to a flash client everything seems fine. However, I use an rtp-record type of stream, and the result recorded file has bad Audio track. Video is fine, but it seems to get the audio as APDCM with 54000 Hz.
Probably it doesn't work because mulaw is not supported by the Flash file container.
You will have to transcode with the Wowza Transcoder, or a 3rd party program like FFMPEG, mencoder, VLC, etc..
I am not sure I understand - The stream is using RTSP and is recorded in mp4 format buy Wowza. Why should the Flash file container limitations have any connection?
No, you are right - the file is being recorded in flv format. Can I make Wowza record it in mp4?
Sorry for the back and forth - I change the start command to have mp4: prefix and indeed the stream is recorded in mp4 format. However, now the recorded file doe not have any audio track at all!
Hi, I am still looking for a camera that will give me supported audio track. Do you know if G.726 ADPCM 16-40kbps codec will be supported by my cenario (distributing the stream by Wowza to flash clients)?


has a wheel, and all men are fixed upon it.
On Fortune's Wheel tells the story of an Innkeeper's daughter, who is swept into a dangerous world-spanning adventure through the kingdom with a handsome thief. Through their many adventures they learn to work together and along the way, fall in love. A tale that has enough energy and adventure for a series, this book has something for everyone.
This book was the first historical type romance I ever had the pleasure to read. None has compared to the intrigue I felt reading it since. It is my favorite of all romance novels and a book I read at least once a year. It never fails to bring excitement to me. Each time I read it, I find it more interesting. It's a book I will always highly recommend.
I already owned this book and did this review because it as one I truly love! No disclaimer needed but I'm included it anyways in accordance with FTC regulations!


There's a reason he's out all alone on a mountain top.
Takes a while to get there though.
I once witnessed an all out war regarding the selection of coffee at a school. There were no survivors.
Supposedly the school I was at had a library. I've never actually seen it though. So I theorized that it was merely a myth based on hearsay.
I once spent six years wandering the same school. When I finally got out, things were so very strange and different.
This does not bode well for our intrepid developers.

Sydney Showground Speedway, originally known as the Speedway Royal and later the Speedway Royale but often referred to as just The Royale or The Showground, was a dirt Dirt track racing venue at the old Sydney Showground used from 1926 until 1996.

History
In 1937, The Showground was claimed to be  the fastest speedway in the world by the tracks promoters. The  egg shaped track was also the site of some spectacular crashes, some unfortunate deaths and a lot of spectacular racing. Although solos were first to race at the showground on 21 July 1926, they were soon joined by sidecars and Speedcars (also known as Midgets but called Speedcars in Australia). In the 1950s stock cars began to appear joined much later by demolition derbies and jumping motorcycles over buses and the Royale would attract huge spectator attendance.

The track had a dolomite surface, which the speedway drivers and riders continually asked the owners, the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW, to mix in shale and clay (as used on tracks in England such as Wembley) to improve traction but this never happened. A long stated reason for this was that the Showground was also used year-round as a harness racing venue (though this excuse wore thin after the 'trotts' moved permanently to the Harold Park Paceway in the late 1940s). The only other major complaint about the track itself was that it was very narrow compared to other speedways. Where most tracks allowed three wide racing even in the corners, at the Showground there was barely enough room for two cars.

The speedway's pits were located under the Martin & Angus Stand at the southern end of the track. This created a unique atmosphere with the place often filling with cigarette smoke and the smell of oil and petrol. Former dual Rugby international and part-time announcer at the speedway Rex Mossop once described the pits at the Royale as being like "Dantino's Inferno".

The start / finish line at the Showground was on the eastern side of the track in front of the Suttor Stand. Running anti-clockwise as most speedway divisions do, the track then moved into the Bull Pens for turn 1, so called as this was where the cattle would enter the arena during the Royal Easter Show. The track announcers box was located close to the track above the Bull Pens. They then continued past the double decked Members Stand and the famous clock tower sitting on the roof, and into what riders called "The Armpit", a tight turn leading onto the back straight where the Coronation Stand stood. Turns 3 and 4 went past Martin & Angus Stand and the pits before passing the Sinclair Stand in turn 4 and coming onto the main straight to finish the lap.

Although the Showground was later universally known as a Speedcar track, from the late 1920s until the 1950s the speedway was more well known for its motorcycle racing, hosting many Australian Solo Championship and Australian Sidecar Championship meetings as well as Solo test Matches between Australia and various visiting nations. The first test at the Showground was held on 15 December 1934 between Australia and Great Britain with Australia winning 35–19 in front of 50,000 paying fans. In March 1933, The Royale hosted the unofficial Speedway World Championship, won by England's Harry Whitfield from Australian's Billy Lamont and future World Champion Bluey Wilkinson.

During the 1960s and 1970s the Showground was Australia's best known and best attended speedway regularly drawing crowds on a Saturday night in excess of 10,000 and often over 30,000 making speedway one of the best attended spectator sports during the Australian summer. The speedway's promoter, John Sherwood (Empire Speedways who also promoted the Brisbane Exhibition Ground), was always looking for ways other than the racing itself to keep the crowds coming in. One of the more popular was the addition of Kings Cross strippers as trophy girls.

From 1947 until 1974 the Speedway hosted the annual Australian Speedcar Grand Prix, following which the race moved to the Liverpool Speedway in western Sydney before returning to the Showground in 1990. NSW drivers Ray Revell and Andy McGavin won a record 5 Speedcar Grand Prix's at the Showground while Bob "Two Gun" Tattersall of the United States won the race four times in 1960, 1962, 1966 and 1969.

One of the more unusual things at the speedway happened on 28 December 1975 when the so-called "Speedway Streaker" made his only appearance. Unlike the usual streakers at sporting events who jump the fence and run around on the field until caught by either Police or Security, this streaker rode out of the pits on a Solo motorbike completely naked other than a full faced helmet (to protect the guilty) and riding shoes. He did a quick lap of the track before laying the bike down on the infield. He was last seen jumping over the fence being chased by laughing policemen. Years later the streaker was revealed to be local solo rider Reg McCarthy.

The Speedway ran continuous Saturday night meetings until the close of the 1980/81 season with Sydney fans spoiled for choice with the Parramatta City Raceway running on Friday nights and the Showground as well as Liverpool Speedway both running on Saturday nights. Like other suburban based speedways around Australia such as Rowley Park in Adelaide, the local residents around the showground began to complain about the noise and also regarding the cars parking on the streets as the showground had very little in the way of designated car parks. With some residents having powerful friends on the City of Sydney council who made increasing restrictions on noise and parking and demanded that meetings be finished no later than 10:30pm (meetings traditionally finished around 11:30pm). This, combined with the advent of World Series Cricket in 1977 attracting a lot of the spectators, forced the speedway to close for regular meetings after 1981. What was hard to take for the promoter of the Showground, Brisbane based speedcar driver Ron Wanless, was that noise tests were conducted which proved that speedway meetings were actually quieter than sporting events at the neighbouring Sydney Cricket Ground, the Royal Easter Show and open air music concerts held at either venue. Traffic was also reportedly less of a problem on speedway nights than for the Easter Show or when sports such as rugby league or cricket used the SCG.

The showground enjoyed a brief revival in 1988 as a Bicentennial Solo Test Match was held between Australia and Great Britain attracting around 15,000 spectators. Unfortunately for the local fans, Great Britain defeated Australia on the night. The last ever Solo Test Match to take place at the Showground was held on 1 January 1994 with Australia taking on England. Like the first ever Test at the Showground in 1934, Australia dominated and won 68 points to 40 in front of a crowd of just over 17,000.

After 13 races held at the Liverpool Speedway, the Australian Speedcar Grand Prix returned to its traditional home as the Speedways only annual car racing event from 1990 until 1993 when the event was moved from the Speedway due to the same complaints that closed the Showground as a speedway in 1980, but returned for one last time in 1996 as the Showground was to be closed and turned into Fox Studios Australia. The 46th Australian Speedcar Grand Prix was held on 20 April. The race was won by the only competitor who had previously raced at the speedway, Australian speedway legend and 10 times Australian Sprintcar Champion Garry Rush from western Sydney. It was his second win in the Grand Prix as he had won the 1977 event held on the asphalt at the Liverpool Speedway.

On Saturday 27 April 1996, approximately 25,000 fans saw Garry Rush win the last ever race held at the world-famous Sydney Showground Speedway when he took out the World Derby for Speedcars in a fitting end to the Showgrounds life as a speedway. Rush's wins in the last two main events at the Showground were for the same team with whom he had raced for at the venue some 30 years previously.

Visiting American driver Jay Drake set the Showground lap record at the 20 April Grand Prix meeting when he ran the 509 metre oval in 16.876 seconds. When asked what he thought of the famous track, Drake described it as "Awfully narrow".

Present day
The old Sydney Showgrounds and the Showground Speedway is now owned by and is part of Fox Studios Australia and although it now has a paved surface the track, and its narrow width, is still clearly visible.

Lap records
Speedcars: 16.876 -  Jay Drake, 1996
Sprintcars: 16.90 -  Jimmy Sills, 1980/81
Solo: 18.80 -  Bill Landels (flying start)
Solo: 19.80 -  Jim Airey (clutch start)
Sidecars: 20.20 -  Doug Tyerman (clutch start)
Sedans: 20.80 -  Ray Solway

Fatalities
The Sydney Showground Speedway, like other speedways of the era, saw its share of competitor fatalities. In total there were 29 deaths at the speedway between 1926 and 1973. In December 2000, a plaque was unveiled at the Fox studios site of the former Speedway by longtime track announcer Jim Shepherd. The plaque overlooks the former start line alongside the Suttor Stand (built in 1909) which is now a cafe restaurant.

Sally Abé sheds some light on the bright green brassica and looks into how it pairs with other flavours.
There is evidence of wasabi being used as far back as 14,000 BC in ancient Japan, and it is still most associated with the country's cuisine today, particularly sushi, as the antibacterial properties of the plant can kill bacteria in raw fish. It is part of the brassica family, similar to horseradish, and while generally thought of as a root it is in fact a stem. The whole plant can be eaten, including the leaves and flowers, and it takes two years to grow big enough to be harvested, hence its high price.
Wasabi is very hard to grow commercially, particularly outside Japan, but some companies in the UK are using watercress beds to mimic the moist environment needed to cultivate it. Fresh wasabi is very different to the pastes available in the supermarkets; the stem loses both flavour and pungency after just ten minutes of grating and pastes generally contain less than three percent actual wasabi – the rest is a combination of food colouring and horseradish.
The clean, white heat of wasabi is similar to the 'burn' of horseradish or mustard, which is caused by the vapour the plant produces. It is aromatic, pungent, fresh, sweet and exhilarating, resulting in a burning sensation in your nose. Wasabi has just two flavour directions – pungent, something that is generally found in mustard, but also in green and red cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, sauerkraut and kale, and green, which can be linked to cucumber, avocado, broad beans, coriander, dill and olive oil as well as crayfish, mackerel and turbot. It also has similar aromas to fruits like strawberries, yuzu, apples and bananas.
Wasabi is traditionally eaten with sushi, but should not be restricted to raw fish. The white heat of the stem can add an interesting point of difference when grated on beef and it works well when used to cut through fatty ingredients, as seen here in Xavier Boyer's Puy lentil salad with foie gras shavings. It complements all fish and shellfish, whether raw, in a ceviche, cured or smoked (particularly eel); try Frances Atkins' brill recipe to see how the two flavours work together.
Avocado pairs wonderfully with wasabi, as seen here in Tony Fleming's Ceviche of Orkney scallops with strawberries. Any recipe that calls for horseradish can use wasabi in its place – just look at this Asian Bloody Mary or Adam Bennett's beef tartare.
Wasabi is sometimes called Namida in Japan, which literally translates as 'tears'.

Being a music producer comes with a lot of perks. Most notably, spending time around amazing artists.
Music producers wear many hats. Some write songs, some focus on making sure the music sounds amazing before it's released.
But if you're looking to be the next Barry Gordy or Sir George Martin, you need to learn how to promote yourself to recording artists. It's not enough to say you're a producer, you have to brand and market yourself as one.
Keep reading to learn 10 great branding and marketing tips to help music producers build their musical careers.
Every business needs a website to highlight their skills and talents. Music producers are no different.
You don't need to spend a ton of money on a huge website. But you do need to include things like your contact information, some clips of recordings you've produced, and some basic business information.
Get a paid site and choose a URL that's catchy but easy to spell. Keep your site simple and easy to navigate.
Avoid having too much information. Clutter doesn't look professional. You don't need to include everything on your site. Just enough information to let people see how talented you are along with an easy way to get in touch with you.
There are several ways to network in the music production business. You can start by becoming a member of ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers). Or if you're in the UK, Association of Independent Music (AIM).
Your next step is to get out into your neighborhood and begin meeting people. Your goal is to become a fixture in your local scene. Make friends at local venues and begin meeting the engineers, producers, and session musicians nearby.
Check out Billboard and other reports that share the latest trends in your marketing demographic. There are also forums like Tape Op, Mix Magazine, Sound On Sound, and Gear Slutz where you can meet others in your profession.
They can help support you and answer any questions you have. It's also a good place to make contacts with people who aren't in your direct neighborhood so you can expand your network.
There are plenty of music producers out there. You need to figure out what makes you special and different from everyone else. You need to brand yourself.
As a record producer, you'll need a catchy name that sets you apart and gets people to sit up and take notice.
Develop a logo or other visual concept that people begin associating with you. Lastly, identify your style so that people know you're the "go to" person for their project.
If you're not on social media, you're missing out on huge opportunities to network and build a base of followers. Start by determining which sites are best to share your content.
Build your profile and then start searching for and following other record producers and engineers whom you admire.
Don't just haphazardly share your music. Create a schedule and let people know when new music is dropping so they have something to look forward to and a reason to visit your page.
Share and document your journey. Get creative and make videos for your clips.
And talk to your followers and develop relationships with them.
Music production is an art form. Art is meant to be shared with the world.
Create a sampling of your music to share with people. You can share it on your website, social media, and also create a CD to give to others.
It will help show your contacts and clients what projects you're capable of.
You can also put a few songs on Soundcloud and YouTube. Make them royalty free and then offer them to vloggers, video makers, and streamers.
Just ask them to leave a tag in the description in exchange for free access to your music. You can also greet new people to your website or social media sites with access to your free music.
Business cards may seem old school but they still work. Make sure you add all the necessary information on your business cards.
Add your name, phone number, email address, and your website. Choose a font that's easy to read.
Find a way to make your business card a part of your brand. Make it memorable and don't forget to include your logo.
Adding new content to your website and social media is a good thing. You can't just create profiles and think you're done.
Create a marketing plan of how and when you're going to share new, relevant content. Then follow that plan.
Consistency is key when you're trying to build up a new business. Don't go crazy and spend all your time sharing information.
But do post at least a few times a week.
If you want to be taken seriously as a producer, you need to hire a professional photographer. Get some headshots taken that you can put on your website and social media.
Work with a photographer who understands your business. You want a great looking photo that makes people take notice.
But, you don't want to end up looking like you should be working on Wall Street. Great photography is like a great song, it should speak to you without needing an explanation.
The world of music production is large. There is tons of competition. And most music producers don't become rich and famous overnight.
Instead, focus on taking small, but actionable steps each day. And be patient.
It takes time to start up a business and to build up your brand. Keep making contacts and focus on your successes.
Learn from your failures and then let them go. And appreciate the journey as you go.
The ROI (return on investment) for email marketing campaigns is 122%. It's also cost-effective.
Start collecting email addresses from the contacts you make. And send out email marketing campaigns on a regular basis that highlights your work and shares information about you.
Don't forget to add a CTA (call-to-action) at the end.
We eat, sleep, and breathe the music business. We know how hard it is for a music producer to get in front of the right audience.
And, we want to help. Our system helps you develop a winning email campaign each and every time. Click here to learn about its features and sign up.

Q: What voltage readings should I get from my 60 watt Magsafe? What voltage readings should I get from my 60 watt Magsafe if I check the pins with a multimeter? My readings are all below 1 volt (I checked all combinations of pins), but I don't know if this is correct since there is no load. Also what pins should I check? My computer is a MacBook Pro 2011 early model.

A: A good description can be found at Teardown and exploration of Apple's Magsafe connector
Below is taken verbatim from the above link.
The charger startup process
When the Magsafe connector is plugged into a Mac, a lot more happens than you might expect. I believe the following steps take place:

*

*The charger provides a very low current (about 100 µA) 6 volt signal
on the power pins (3 volts for Magsafe 2).

*When the Magsafe connector is plugged into the Mac, the Mac applies
a resistive load (e.g. 39.41KΩ), pulling the power input low to
about 1.7 volts.

*The charger detects the power input has been pulled low, but not too
low. (A short or a significant load will not enable the charger.)
After exactly one second, the charger switches to full voltage
(14.85 to 20 volts depending on model and wattage). There's a 16-bit
microprocessor inside the charger to control this and other charger
functions.

*The Mac detects the full voltage on the power input and reads the
charger ID using the 1-Wire protocol.

If the Mac is happy with the charger ID, it switches the power input to the internal power conversion circuit and starts using the input power. The Mac switches on the appropriate LED on the connector using the 1-Wire protocol.
This process explains why there is a delay of a second after you connect the charger before the light turns on and the computer indicates the battery is charging. It also explains why if you measure the charger output with a voltmeter, you don't find much voltage.

A: Mixing answers from @David Anderson and @Brandon :

The inner large pins are V+ (16.5 VDC). Measuring with no load will give 6.86 VDC; the full 16.5 V is provided to the proper load.
The outer large pins are Ground.
The tiny center pin is a Charge Control pin that assists with changing the LED color, and also assists with switching the adapter off. No power will be output from any of the other pins until contact is made with the center Charge Control pin

(Source : ifixit forum)

A: you can touch the cables with your fingers and the resistive load will be applied at the same time with the multimeter. You will get the 16-20V reading. No joke, you will not die from 16V.

A great home away from home.
My West Coast clients wanted a chic New York Pied a Terre. They selected the Tribeca section of New York.
The small space had very little light but we set it up with open space and gave it a roomy, light feel. There is storage in the large ottoman/coffee table in the living room, and a sleeper sofa equipped with an air mattress insert is available should any unexpected guests arrive.

Erto – The Moon Beneath The Water
A village devastated by the Vajont tragedy fights against oblivion, torn between the desire for a rebirth and the need to preserve the memory of a painful past.
A portrait of the community of Erto, in the Dolomites, which 60 years ago suffered a huge human disaster, due to external ambition and avidity, and still fights for dignity and recognition. Over the past 10 years, the director has filmed the mayor fighting together with his people for not being forgotten by the national institutions. Through the voice of Nature, we see the efforts of the community, which at a certain point breaks up due to a project that aims at creating a work of art on the dam, at the origin of the disaster: while for the mayor and the art curator it is a way to rise up the village and look forward, for some it would be another step to make people forget the tragedy.
