Observing Discussions
2020: A Mars Odyssey
By Nightspore,
February 9, 2021 in Visual observing at night
I was really excited about the Mars opposition at the start of 2020. The last one (2018) was a disappointment because of the all-encompassing planetary dust storm. I'd eagerly anticipated that opposition too and had purchased Celestron and Orion Mars filters especially for it. So naturally, in 2020, I got early Mars fever and needed to socially un-distance myself from my telescopes to ameliorate the condition.
The first glimpse of Mars through a telescope was at about 05:00 on May the 11th. It was at around 16° altitude and rising steeply in the east. Mars then being apparently around 214,000,000 km from Sol and roughly eight arc seconds in diameter. I was using my Sky-Watcher Evostar 72ED DS Pro. It's not a large telescope and I didn't expect to see much detail in the early daylight. I could see the phase though and at 168x I could even make out surface features. The bright southern polar cap was very apparent and I was pretty confident that the dark albedo feature of Syrtis Major could just be perceived. Later I checked my software and the Syrtis Major Planum was indeed visible at that time. I distinctly remember thinking that it bodes well for future Mars observations this year. I always enjoy seeing Syrtis Major as it was the first documented land mass discovered on another planet. It was recorded by Christiaan Huygens in a map of Mars he drew in 1659. Huygens is also famous for the Huygens eyepiece and the pendulum clock inter alia.
I had four more sessions in May, three of them with my modified Evostar 80ED DS Pro. Through June, July and August I had ten sessions on Mars, including an early morning session after witnessing the C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) comet with the 72ED. I started to notice a white albedo phenomenon in the Martian northern hemisphere. I suspected high altitude clouds at first, then wondered if it was an optical effect caused by the various light train combinations utilised with my refractors. I ruled the latter out after an early morning session with my 102mm Maksutov. I'd initially gone out to view the Venus' greatest western elongation. However, intermittent clouds temporarily obscuring Venus gave me the opportunity to view Mars a while as well.
In September I managed nine more Mars sessions. On the 9th and 14th I had 238x with my 102mm Altair Starwave ED-R doublet and saw some incredible detail including the Terra Sirenum, Solis Planum areas and the 'Eye of Mars' feature. I was very impressed with the images produced by the Starwave at 238x. In hindsight I've wondered if I could have pushed to 60x per inch of aperture. I was also particularly impressed with the Eos Chasma, Xanthe Terra and Nectaris Fossae areas. Later in the same month two further sessions with the 80ED and a single session with the 127mm Maksutov were quite outstanding. The image with the 127mm Sky-Watcher Maksutov on the 26th was dazzlingly bright. At 257x the Syrtis Major Planum, the Hellas Planitia impact basin, and the Arabia Terra region were very distinct. The triangular Syrtis Major albedo feature was memorably outstanding.
I realised that the 'white albedo feature' I'd observed regularly in the north were almost certainly the northern polar hood (NPH) clouds that form over the northern hemisphere in the Martian winter. In late September, and as the opposition approached, Mars became very bright. Filters have always been useful on Mars. I regularly used a Baader 570nm orange longpass filter, Baader Contrast Booster and a magenta coloured Tele Vue Bandmate Planetary filter among others. As the planet became brighter still I found that I needed to stack a single polarising filter with my preferred filters to stem the overbearing glare.
In late September and early October the southern polar cap seemed to become less distinct and difficult to observe. However it became more visible later in October. Although it had been slowly and obviously shrinking in the Martian summer it had also concomitantly lost a lot of its brightness. I assume a polar dust storm obscured it for a few weeks. In fact, I once had to resort to using a Baader light blue 470nm bandpass filter just to be able to locate it. Eventually, although smaller, it returned more or less to its former brilliance. The NPH clouds also appeared to become less distinct towards November. I was well prepared for an October the 5th session with the 127mm Mak' and my William Optics binoviewers.
Unfortunately it was one of those sessions that didn't at first go quite as planned. After fumbling about in the dark a bit I ended up putting the 1.6x Barlow into the nosepiece instead of the 2x one. I then wondered why Mars was looking a little small at 123x. Eventually I realised I had used the 1.6x Barlow and went with a pair of 12mm GSO Plossls for about 205x and 10mm SvBony 10mm 'plastic fantastics' for around 246x. Although I had originally envisaged quite a few bino sessions this was the only outing in stereo.
On October the 5th I finally set-up and polar aligned my Sky-Watcher EQ5 mount. This is then usually kept outside and covered with a tarpaulin when not in use. Effectively making my TS Optics (GSO) 150mm, f/6 Newtonian a kind of 'grab and go' telescope. I had around fifteen Mars sessions in October and most of them were with the 150mm Newtonian. The perigee (around 211,000,000 km from Sol) on the 6th was intense and I had a good 300x with a 6mm Astro Hutech orthoscopic combined with a 2x Vixen Deluxe Barlow. Two nights later I even had a relatively sharp 360x (60x per inch of aperture) using a 5mm orthoscopic and the same Barlow. On the opposition itself I had set-up the 150mm Newtonian in anticipation a good hour earlier than transit. Unfortunately clouds frustrated my viewing until at least an hour after transit. I waited them out and was rewarded with a very nice view of the 'Eye of Mars' nicely framed between the dark albedo features of the Terra Cimmeria and Terra Sirenum.
I managed eleven nights in November, the last being on Monday the 30th, all with the 150mm Newtonian. Mars was now visibly smaller with the phase returning and the overpowering glare had diminished somewhat. By the 3rd it had dropped below 20 arc seconds. Interestingly, in early November sessions, I discovered that a single polarising filter on its own often produced the most defined surface image detail. On the evening of Wednesday the 18th I observed from about 20:00 (when the OTA had reached thermal equilibrium) until transit around 21:00. Apart from occasional windy gusts rocking the tube the seeing didn't allow me to observe any sharp detail and the southern polar cap was very difficult to perceive. It's a very good possibility that the heat of the southern summer had produced another dust storm.
On the 19th the polar cap was much brighter, although the definition of surface features was not good. The entire planet seemed brighter than the previous night. Whether this was due to better transparency or not is difficult to say. The polar cap was very bright even when using a Baader 610nm red longpass filter. It may be that the dust clouds have a high intrinsic reflectivity and were making Mars appear brighter. I managed a slightly earlier session on the evening of Sunday the 22nd (forty days after opposition) with the 150mm Newtonian. At 281x and a red filter the polar cap was small but relatively bright. It wasn't so apparent with yellow or orange filters. Although I could see the dark shapes of the Terra Sirenum and the Noachis Terra the dark albedo features weren't quite as defined as I'd expected. I believe the best image I saw in the session was with an orange filter, redolent of the 2018 opposition, when the dust storm had abated slightly revealing hitherto obscured surface features. On the 30th I managed 360x as the seeing was very good (Antoniadi II~I). This time I used an entire gamut of filters including red, blue, yellow, orange and magenta. I used an inexpensive (30 quid) 'Mavis Laven' 2.5mm TMB clone and was quite amazed at how good the image was. The phase was very distinct and the limb was extremely sharp. Limb clouds were observed along with the diminished polar cap. Dark albedo features like the Noachis Terra region could be identified, although the dust storm was still pretty much extant.
I had a further six sessions in December all with either the 80ED, the 72ED or the modified ST102. I actually had half of those with the ST102. With all of the ST102 sessions I used the 2.5mm 'Mavis' combined with a Celestron Mars filter (200x).
Interestingly there was only a minimal 'purple hazing' around Mars through the achromat. Presumably the magenta coloured Celestron filter had taken out a lot of the blue end of the spectrum. The dust storm had appeared to have abated somewhat. Even though Mars was rapidly shrinking, surface features, high altitude clouds, and the southern polar cap could still be seen. All in all 2020 was a great year for observing Mars in my experience.

February 24-25, 1942 – The Great Los Angeles Air Raid. A City Suffers War Jitters.

February 25, 1942 – CBS Radio News – Report from Los Angeles on West Coast activity – Gordon Skene Sound Collection.
February 24-25, 1942 – In a series of events, later to be known a The Great Los Angeles Air Raid, or The Battle of Los Angeles, residents from as far north as Santa Barbara and as far sound as Laguna Beach bordered on hysteria as Air Raid sirens went off, searchlights combed the skies and anti-aircraft batteries swung into action – promptly shooting up the night sky.
As it was reported:
During the night of 24/25 February 1942, unidentified objects caused a succession of alerts in southern California. On the 24th, a warning issued by naval intelligence indicated that an attack could be expected within the next ten hours. That evening a large number of flares and blinking lights were reported from the vicinity of defense plants. An alert called at 1918 [7:18 pm, Pacific time] was lifted at 2223, and the tension temporarily relaxed. But early in the morning of the 25th renewed activity began. Radars picked up an unidentified target 120 miles west of Los Angeles. Antiaircraft batteries were alerted at 0215 and were put on Green Alert—ready to fire—a few minutes later. The AAF kept its pursuit planes on the ground, preferring to await indications of the scale and direction of any attack before committing its limited fighter force. Radars tracked the approaching target to within a few miles of the coast, and at 0221 the regional controller ordered a blackout. Thereafter the information center was flooded with reports of "enemy planes, " even though the mysterious object tracked in from sea seems to have vanished. At 0243, planes were reported near Long Beach, and a few minutes later a coast artillery colonel spotted "about 25 planes at 12,000 feet" over Los Angeles. At 0306 a balloon carrying a red flare was seen over Santa Monica and four batteries of anti-aircraft artillery opened fire, whereupon "the air over Los Angeles erupted like a volcano." From this point on reports were hopelessly at variance.
Probably much of the confusion came from the fact that anti-aircraft shell bursts, caught by the searchlights, were themselves mistaken for enemy planes. In any case, the next three hours produced some of the most imaginative reporting of the war: "swarms" of planes (or, sometimes, balloons) of all possible sizes, numbering from one to several hundred, traveling at altitudes which ranged from a few thousand feet to more than 20,000 and flying at speeds which were said to have varied from "very slow" to over 200 miles per hour, were observed to parade across the skies. These mysterious forces dropped no bombs and, despite the fact that 1,440 rounds of anti-aircraft ammunition were directed against them, suffered no losses. There were reports, to be sure, that four enemy planes had been shot down, and one was supposed to have landed in flames at a Hollywood intersection. Residents in a forty-mile arc along the coast watched from hills or rooftops as the play of guns and searchlights provided the first real drama of the war for citizens of the mainland. The dawn, which ended the shooting and the fantasy, also proved that the only damage which resulted to the city was such as had been caused by the excitement (there was at least one death from heart failure), by traffic accidents in the blacked-out streets, or by shell fragments from the artillery barrage. Attempts to arrive at an explanation of the incident quickly became as involved and mysterious as the "battle" itself. The Navy immediately insisted that there was no evidence of the presence of enemy planes, and [Secretary of the Navy], Frank Knox announced at a press conference on 25 February that the raid was just a false alarm. At the same conference he admitted that attacks were always possible and indicated that vital industries located along the coast ought to be moved inland. The Army had a hard time making up its mind on the cause of the alert. A report to Washington, made by the Western Defense Command shortly after the raid had ended, indicated that the credibility of reports of an attack had begun to be shaken before the blackout was lifted. This message predicted that developments would prove "that most previous reports had been greatly exaggerated." The Fourth Air Force had indicated its belief that there were no planes over Los Angeles. But the Army did not publish these initial conclusions. Instead, it waited a day, until after a thorough examination of witnesses had been finished. On the basis of these hearings, local commanders altered their verdict and indicated a belief that from one to five unidentified airplanes had been over Los Angeles. Secretary Stimson announced this conclusion as the War Department version of the incident, and he advanced two theories to account for the mysterious craft: either they were commercial planes operated by an enemy from secret fields in California or Mexico, or they were light planes launched from Japanese submarines. In either case, the enemy's purpose must have been to locate anti-aircraft defenses in the area or to deliver a blow at civilian morale.
The divergence of views between the War and Navy departments, and the unsatisfying conjectures advanced by the Army to explain the affair, touched off a vigorous public discussion. The Los Angeles Times, in a first-page editorial on 26 February, announced that "the considerable public excitement and confusion" caused by the alert, as well as its "spectacular official accompaniments," demanded a careful explanation. Fears were expressed lest a few phony raids undermine the confidence of civilian volunteers in the aircraft warning service. In the United States Congress, Representative Leland Ford wanted to know whether the incident was "a practice raid, or a raid to throw a scare into 2,000,000 people, or a mistaken identity raid, or a raid to take away Southern California's war industries." Wendell Willkie, speaking in Los Angeles on 26 February, assured Californians on the basis of his experiences in England that when a real air raid began "you won't have to argue about it—you'll just know." He conceded that military authorities had been correct in calling a precautionary alert but deplored the lack of agreement between the Army and Navy. A strong editorial in the Washington Post on 27 February called the handling of the Los Angeles episode a "recipe for jitters," and censured the military authorities for what it called "stubborn silence" in the face of widespread uncertainty. The editorial suggested that the Army's theory that commercial planes might have caused the alert "explains everything except where the planes came from, whither they were going, and why no American planes were sent in pursuit of them." The New York Times on 28 February expressed a belief that the more the incident was studied, the more incredible it became: "If the batteries were firing on nothing at all, as Secretary Knox implies, it is a sign of expensive incompetence and jitters. If the batteries were firing on real planes, some of them as low as 9,000 feet, as Secretary Stimson declares, why were they completely ineffective? Why did no American planes go up to engage them, or even to identify them? … What would have happened if this had been a real air raid?" These questions were appropriate, but for the War Department to have answered them in full frankness would have involved an even more complete revelation of the weakness of our air defenses.

Yova Release "Haunted" single - Watch Video || Debut Album: 'Nine Lives' - out 25 March
Published on Friday, 14 January, 2022 - 22:27
Welcoming in the new year - YOVA - a.k.a Jova Radevska & Mark Vernon return with the new single: "Haunted". Officially released across all services on 28th January, you can check out its bespoke accompanying video here and now: https://youtu.be/_4KAKNhjnD0
Reaching for a spiritual connection with their younger selves, "Haunted" imagines what words of reassurance and guidance about the ways of life YOVA would pass-on in light of what they know now.
"Listening to the voice within takes us on the right path in life" muses Jova Radevska. "The chorus lyrics tell of that life force, powerful voice as guidance to be followed: 'There is something inside, wild & free it reaches out'".
From its skeletal piano-based beginnings to the resplendent, lush string sections that blossom to life over the course of its five minutes, "Haunted" is very much a song for the winter months, but one that holds the promise of brighter times soon-to-come. Arriving with bespoke visuals directed by Maltese/British photographer, filmmaker and author Mark Arrigo, the evocative official video for "Haunted" was shot in one-take and captures Jova Radevska in traditional dress, lost amidst the breathtaking and barren landscapes of the Lake District (Eskdale) at the height of mid-winter. Watch the video here.
Written by YOVA and sung with the lullaby-like lilt of Macedonian vocalist Jova Radevska, the track features arrangements by her multi-instrumentalist companion Mark Vernon, as well as contributions from legendary producer and player Rob Ellis (ex PJ Harvey / Anna Calvi), plus Daniel O'Sullivan (Grumbling Fur). The strung-out pedal steel guitars also come courtesy of BJ Cole.
"Haunted" will appear on the debut album release from YOVA entitled 'Nine Lives', confirmed for worldwide release on 25th March 2022.
Featuring nine shape-shifting songs, 'Nine Lives' features musical contributions from Terry Edwards (Nick Cave, Tom Waits) baritone sax; David Rhodes (Kate Bush, Scott Walker) guitars ; Anna Phoebe (Roxy Music) violin; Alex Thomas (John Cale, UNKLE ) drums; legendary pedal steel guitarist BJ Cole; Ian Olliver; bass, Nick Holland (Balanescu Quartet) cello, and Daniel O'Sullivan (Grumbling Fur, Tim Burgess) bass, viola and keyboards. Rich and complex multi-instrumentation comes courtesy of the celebrated Rob Ellis, who also plays drums and writes YOVA's string arrangements throughout. The album notably also features an array of unusual and exotic instruments including the Onde Martenot, the Marxaphone and the medieval Sackbut.
Speaking about how their debut release came to be, Mark Vernon says: "Once the structure of the nine songs had been written, each song then developed naturally with the musicians, initially Rob Ellis and Daniel O'Sullivan, reacting intuitively in terms of their playing and the instrumentation. In terms of genre, the music of each track is allowed to inhabit its own universe. So there are no pre-ordained or fixed common denominators, other than the voice, the personnel and the song structure. The musicians had the freedom to shape-shift the songs playfully throughout the album. I think of it as nine different rides on a trip to a sonic adventure park."
YOVA are Jova Radevska & Mark Vernon. Jova Radevska was born and raised in Macedonia. Coming to the UK as a bright-eyed eighteen year old, she found an instant affinity with the UK's rich music culture and history, with a determination to create her own place within it. Embracing London's vibrant live scene early-on, it was while performing she was introduced to Vernon for the first time. A seasoned veteran of alternative music, Mark Vernon has both managed and recorded with John Cale amongst others, and also co-produced tracks on PJ Harvey's debut album 'Dry', including the iconic debut single 'Dress'. On 'Nine Lives' he reunites Rob and Ian - the original rhythm section from those recordings. Finding an intuitive writing chemistry with Radevska since their chance encounter, the two will now release their bewitching debut album: 'Nine Lives' in 2022, an album full of esteemable artistry and enigmatic allure that will continue to ensnare over repeated listens.
"We never know where our collaboration will take us" says Radevska of their mercurial songcraft, "This way or that, it is always different".
In anticipation of the new album, YOVA will be making their live debut together on Wednesday 16 Feb at the Slaughtered Lamb, London. Tickets are on sale now here: https://www.eventim.co.uk/event/yova-the-slaughtered-lamb-14625146/?affiliate=LA1

Bio - John E. Marriott
A Short Encapsulated History
I first visited the Canadian Rockies in September 1969 at the ripe old age of one month old. I would show you the photos, but I don't think I look all that adorable as a small bald person in the arms of my Grandma on the shores of Lake Louise.
Six years later, I began photographing in the Canadian Rockies, snapping shot after shot of what I was sure were award-winning images on my family's annual pilgrimages from Salmon Arm, British Columbia in the family wagon to Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper. Of course, $20 Kodak Instamatic cameras don't often produce award-winning shots and neither do most 6 year-olds using them, so while I still have my old photo albums of bears and moose and so on, I've decided to keep those for myself too!
Since those inauspicious beginnings, the camera equipment in my hands has changed and so have my skills as a nature photographer.
In 1992, I came across the incredibly fortunate situation of being hired by Parks Canada in Banff National Park to go out and shoot roll after roll of photos of people, wildlife, and scenics in the mountain environment -- and from that, my career as an outdoor photographer was born.
In the mid to late 1990s, I photographed extensively in the frontcountry and backcountry of the parks in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta and British Columbia. I also spent several months over those years photographing grizzly bears and other wildlife along British Columbia's West Coast, working out of Knight Inlet Lodge 500 kilometers north of Vancouver.
The past decade has led me to more exotic locations, from the Yellowstone backcountry to the highlands of Scotland and Ireland. However, the vast majority of my work has been done in Canada, where I've carved out my niche as a photographer specializing in Canadian wildlife and nature photography. I've sailed the BC Coast from the Queen Charlottes through the Great Bear Rainforest to the Inside Passage. I've climbed aboard fishing trawlers in the Atlantic seaboard in search of whales and puffins, and I've trekked across the frozen tundra and ice of the Great White North from the Yukon to the Northwest Territories to Nunavut. And because it's nearby and I love it, I have spent the largest portion of my time on the Canadian Prairies and in my 'backyard' in the mountains of British Columbia and Alberta.
I am not formally trained as a photographer, but rather have learned by trial and error as I've gone along. I have also been lucky enough to have met and forged friendships with some incredibly interesting and skilled photographers over the years that I have gleaned information from: Al Williams, Jeff Waugh, Alec Pytlowany, Darwin Wiggett, Tom Murphy, and Terry Berezan come to mind. Unfortunately I never did get to meet the photographer I most wanted to -- Japanese wildlife photographer Michio Hoshino, who died in Kamchatka, Russia in 1997.
My business started twenty years ago and is now firmly entrenched in Canmore, Alberta on the edge of Banff National Park. I started slowly (very slowly, as you'll read in my latest book, Tall Tales, Long Lenses), but now consider myself lucky enough to be successful at what I do.
I sell stock photography and my images have been published in a number of magazines including National Geographic Adventure, Backpacker, Canadian Geographic, Reader's Digest, Outdoor Photography Canada, Photolife, Ranger Rick and OWL. My photography has also been used for a wide range of commercial applications, including highway billboards, transit buses, brochures, websites, product packaging, and catalogs.
I also regularly write articles for Outdoor Photography Canada magazine and in 2010 was named a contributing editor for the magazine as their wildlife photography columnist.
My first book, Central Rockies Mammals, was published in July 1997 and is now a Canadian bestseller (second edition, 2005). In 2002, my business leapt forward with the investment in a line of 24 different wildlife and scenic greeting cards, my Wilderness Moments notecard line. In 2004, I added 2 new cards to the line, 5 more in 2005, and 2 more in 2007. I revamped the line with 18 new cards in 2011 and 2012, then added three more new ones in 2016. The cards continue to be the best-selling greeting cards in the Canadian Rockies, with more than 150,000 cards sold since 2002.
In 2007, I released my first hardcover coffee table book, Banff & Lake Louise: Images of Banff National Park, which I self-published. The book has been received with critical acclaim and has quickly become the best-selling photography book on Banff. It is now a Canadian and international bestseller, with more than 18,000 copies sold worldwide.
Following the success of Banff & Lake Louise: Images of Banff National Park, I released Wildlife of the Canadian Rockies: A Glimpse at Life on the Wild Side in June 2008. This book is now also a Canadian bestseller, with more than 8,500 copies sold.
In 2009, I released two more coffee table books, both titled The Canadian Rockies: Banff, Jasper & Beyond (large and small versions).
Then in 2010 (sorry this is such a long list!), I launched a wildlife photography tour company, aptly named, Canadian Wildlife Photography Tours, which has been extremely successful. I now lead multiple tours and workshops each year to places like the Queen Charlotte Islands, the Great Bear Rainforest, and the edges of Hudson Bay in Nunavut.
Recently, in 2016, I released The Pipestone Wolves: The Rise and Fall of a Wolf Family together with author and wolf researcher Gunther Bloch.
And finally (still with me?), in 2017, I'm extremely proud to release Tall Tales, Long Lenses: My Adventures in Photography, which is a culmination of my 20-year career to date as a photographer and includes many of my favourites stories and photographs.
I sincerely hope that this site will give you a taste for my style of photography and for what the wilds of Canada are like, creating in you a longing to visit or re-visit magical areas like the Canadian Rockies and see them like you've never seen them before. I fell in love with this place long ago, and want you too to experience the beauty and grandeur of the Rocky Mountains and Canada and capture the secrets you discover on a camera.

I've been into Harlow for years, and I fell in love with her movies after seeing her in Dinner at Eight. I've seen several of her films, and I come to the conclusion that she's one of the more under-appreciated Golden Age comediennes. She was definitely a jewel, gone far too soon.
So @Toni, can I assume you are a fan?

Invest Northern Ireland has helped a quarrying and mineral processing firm in Co. Tyrone to realise benefits of over £3 million in just 12 months.
Metso Minerals, based in Cappagh, supplies equipment, service and process solutions to a variety of industries including quarrying, mining, construction, civil engineering and recycling and waste management.
Metso's participation in an Invest NI capability development initiative has delivered a turnover increase and cost savings worth £3.3m thanks to major improvements in production efficiency, as revealed in a recent audit of production processes and accounts.
Invest NI's Interim Managers Programme encourages businesses to exploit resources so they can overcome barriers to growth and enhance competitiveness. By delivering functional or general management capability on a project basis, interim managers can help companies deliver tangible results by co-ordinating specifically targeted, high-impact projects.
Patrick McMeel, General Manager of Metso Minerals Cappagh Ltd says: "An increase in demand for our products created a number of issues for the production element of the business. We were experiencing higher levels of downtime and as a result, were finding it difficult to meet production deadlines.
"Invest NI helped us to streamline operations by partnering us with an interim manager, who had the expertise and skills to quickly understand the needs of our company. This enabled management to continue its focus on core business issues.
Commenting on the saving, Tracy Meharg, Managing Director of Innovation and Capability Development at Invest NI says: "Businesses today need to take every opportunity to increase competitiveness if they are to ensure sustainable growth in new and existing markets.
Key to the success of Invest NI's Interim Manager Programme is the provision of an interim manager with specialist knowledge and expertise, who works with the company for a maximum of 60 days on a specific improvement project. Invest NI and the participating company jointly fund the interim manager's costs.
The total cost of the Metso project was £7500 and only 30 days of interim manager intervention was required.

Karmann to Cut Jobs
Chrysler Crossfire output fell from nearly 35,700 units in 2004 to about 12,500 units last year.
Ward's Staff | Jun 12, 2006
German coachbuilder Karmann GmbH says it will cut 1,250 jobs at its assembly plant in Osnabrueck this year.
Currently the plant employs 5,200 workers.
The cuts come amid slumping sales, the company and its works council says. Last year, Karmann, the largest manufacturer of convertible cars, saw sales drop 31% to €1.9 billion ($2.40 billion). The company did not disclose 2005 earnings.
Declining demand for the Chrysler Crossfire, which Karmann has built since 2003, is cited as the main reason for the sales decline. Crossfire output fell from nearly 35,700 units in 2004 to about 12,500 units last year.
DaimlerChrysler AG and Karmann are negotiating a payment to compensate for lower production of the 2-seat Crossfire sports car.
Overall, Karmann's production dropped to 54,500 cars last year from 94,000 in 2004.

Oh Mattel! You try so hard! You really do! (And that's more than I can say about Hasbro's handling of the DC license.) But sometimes… Sometimes trying isn't enough. Sometimes you really need to stop and ask yourself "Is it really appropriate to use Polly Pocket figures in the JLU line?" You might be surprised by the answer.
So, since I'm too embarrassed to put Mattel's Stargirl figure on the shelf, I felt compelled to make my own. In Mattel's defense, Stargirl is tough to make correctly. She's got the usual Timm-verse female proportions, but she's smaller than most of the other female Leaguers. She might look great made from a Hawkgirl figure, but then she'd be far too tall.
What you see here is my second attempt at the character. I initially started with Mattel's generic female body, swapping the high heels for flat feet. The result, though, was less than what I wanted. So I started over, this time using a Jack in the Box Batgirl as the base for both the body and head. The arms were swapped out for Hawkgirl arms. The belt, gloves, and boots are shaped from Magic Sculpt. (The boots are extended on the bottom, too.)
Batgirl's head was removed and the neck extended before the head was returned. The top of her hair is from an animated Witchblade. (Perfect part in the hair.) The rest of the hair is sculpted from Magic Sculpt.
The Star Rod is a temporary until I can find a better way to include the currently missing bend in the shaft. The hook shape at the top is shaped from Magic Sculpt, while the shaft itself is the accessory from a Starman figure.
The rest is paint and stars applied via decoupage.

Tierney says:
In the description of your stargirl figure, you said you swapped out the high heels for flat feet. I'm just starting to customize JLU figures and I was wondering how I could change heels for flat feet. any advice would be very much appreciated. I love your work. Thank you so much!
Cason Pilliod says:
Glad to hear you're giving it a try. Good luck! As for feet swaps, the short version is just to cut the feet at the ankle, and then glue the new feet on the new body. But, it's rarely that simple. First, even the best super glue won't hold two PVC plastic surfaces like that together for long. I usually drill a small hole into the flat plane of the ankle on the foot and the leg, and then insert a small styrene rod, gluing it and then the foot in place. This acts as a "bone" of sorts, and gives the glue something to cling to. Secondly, it's unlikely the feet and legs will line up properly at the ankle. You may want to add a bit of sculpting epoxy around the joint, and then Dremel/sand down until you have a seamless limb. Clear as mud?

The Joint Commission cited suboptimal communication as one of the root causes in 82% of sentinel events reported on 2010. Face‐to‐face communication is the richest form of communication and is superior to asynchronous modes of communication such as text paging. Additionally, physical dispersion of providers has been characterized as a barrier to ideal communication. Geographic localization consists of co‐localizing patients and their treating physicians onto the same physical hospital unit. This has been shown to increase the quantity of multidisciplinary communication but the quality of communication remains suboptimal (i.e. accurate communication of plan of care is unchanged). Structured Interdisciplinary Rounding (SIDR) consists of daily, template‐driven interdisciplinary rounding on patients among care providers. Prior literature has shown that the adoption of SIDR improves the quality of multidisciplinary communication. Concurrent implementation of geographic localization and SIDR (GSIDR) has not been studied in regards to communication outcomes. In October 2012, the Internal Medicine teaching service at MGUH concurrently implemented geographic localization and structured interdisciplinary rounding (GSIDR). The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of the implementation of GSIDR on the quality of interdisciplinary communication and the quality of patient‐perceived communication.
In regards to interdisciplinary communication, a significantly higher agreement to "physicians and nurses here work together as a well‐coordinated team" was observed in both residents (p = .0018) and nurses (p < .0001). Additionally, residents and nurses reported higher agreement to the statements "I am satisfied with the quality of collaboration…with nurses/physicians" (61 to 94% with p = .018 for residents; 56 to 94% with p<0.0001 for nurses). In regards to patient‐perceived communication quality, a non‐significant increase in the proportion of GSIDR‐unit patients responding "always" to the question "How often did nurses/doctors explain things in a way you could understand?" was observed along with a concurrent, non‐significant decrease in percentage of patients responding "always" to these questions on the non‐GSIDR floors.
The implementation of GSIDR was associated with clear improvement in interdisciplinary communication. GSIDR was not associated with significant improvement in patient‐perceived communication with doctors and nurses. However, a non‐significant trend toward improvement in patient perceived communication was noted.

Created: Tuesday, 30 November 2021 12:08
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has welcomed a consignment of fortified vegetable oil worth US$1mn from the Russian Federation in support of its resilience building activities in the drought-stricken arid counties of Kenya
This contribution will form part of the in-kind food package that WFP is distributing in this year's lean season, when farming families typically face hunger. WFP distributes cereals, pulses, and fortified vegetable oil to vulnerable Kenyans while at the same time treating malnutrition in mothers by providing nutritious flour for porridge and peanut-based supplement for children under five-years-age.
"This contribution is very timely for Kenyan families grappling with acute food shortages in a country facing the prospect of a third successive failed rainy season. This year, because of the drought, we are providing support to families in our resilience programme for 10 months, instead of eight," said Lauren Landis, WFP's Kenya country director. "At the same time, we are supporting them to adopt new farming practices, nutritious and drought-resistant crops that help them to achieve a more sustainable future. This contribution from the Russian Federation is an important component of that package."
Russia has a long history of supporting WFP in east Africa, having donated Kamaz trucks to support WFP's logistics operations in 2019 and 2014, as well as strategic contributions to WFP's work in Kenya.
WFP distributes cash and food to 390,000 people across nine arid counties that are also engaged in resilience building activities through livelihood diversification such as beekeeping, sweet potatoes and tomatoes, improved climate adaptation with the construction of water harvesting structures and strengthened financial inclusion through access to micro-insurance and community savings groups.
The lean season is one of the most trying periods for farming families especially in the marginal areas. It is when most families run out of crop stockpiles and before the arrival of the next season's harvest.

Q: If you have two functions of the same name (overloaded), and there is a conversion constructor, will the conversion constuctor be called? Suppose that you overload a function:
void display_widget( float f );
void display_widget( Apple a );

My question is, which has higher precedence:

*

*a conversion constructor constructing an Apple from a float

*The overloaded function having float in its parameter list

    #include <iostream>
    class Apple
    {
        public:
            Apple() : f{ 0.0 } {};
            float get_f() { return f; }

            Apple(float _f) : f{ _f } {};
            operator float()  { return f; }

        private:
            float f;
    };

    void display_widget( float f )
    {
        std::cout << "The float is: " << f << std::endl;
    }

    void display_widget( Apple a )
    {
        std::cout << "The Apple is: " << a.get_f() << std::endl;
    }

    int main(int argc, char* argv[])
    {
        display_widget(49.95);
        return 0;
    }

Note that we have two display_widget functions, one accepting an Apple and the other accepting a float
Consider the following line inside of main:
display_widget(49.95);

Which of the following is the correct pseudo-code describing what happens:
+---------------------------------+--------------------------------+
|            option 1             |            option 2            |
+---------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| display_widget( float f );      | a = Apple( float _f );         |
|                                 | display_widget( Apple a );     |
+---------------------------------+--------------------------------+

A: display_widget( float f ) will be selected.
Given display_widget(49.95);, for display_widget(float) to be called, the implicit conversion sequence contains only one standard conversion (from double to float). For display_widget(Apple) to be called, the conversion sequence contains one standard conversion (from double to float) and one user-defined conversion (from float to Apple), and then is qualified as user-defined conversion sequence. The standard conversion sequence has higher ranking in overload resolution.

A standard conversion sequence is always better than a user-defined conversion sequence or an ellipsis conversion sequence.

One way to treat the face is by using a mask. As an alternative to the expensive face mask, you can try making your own face mask. The materials are also natural and easy to find in your own kitchen, such as cucumber, milk, honey, and even tea!
Masks mixture of black tea, honey and lemon.
Polyphenols and tannins contained in black tea associated with regeneration of the skin, prevent acne, and diminish skin irritation.
Honey serves as a natural antibacterial, so it is often used to treat and prevent acne. In addition, honey also contains many antioxidants which protect against premature aging.
Such as honey, lemon juice also has an antibacterial effect. The content of citric acid contained in lemons can lift dead skin cells and remove the black stain on the face.
Brewed black tea bags using ¼ cup of hot water. And mix 1 tablespoon of honey. After that, apply to face and leave on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing with cold water.
Masks mixture of green tea, baking soda, and honey.
Green tea effective against inflammation, diminish wrinkles and fine lines, as well as protecting the skin from the dangers of UV exposure. Baking soda serves as a detoxification so it can exfoliate dead skin. While the role of honey here to moisturize, tighten and rejuvenate the skin.
Mix 1 tablespoon of green tea and 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Stir both ingredients until blended and add honey until quite thick. Apply to face and let stand for 5-10 minutes. After that, rinse with cold water.
White tea contains antioxidants that can eliminate eye bags and brighten and rejuvenate the skin.
Pour 1 cup of white tea with boiling water. Wait until the water gets warm and then enter a towel or cloth to steeping water, and squeeze until half dry. Put on the face. Warm given by towels will open the pores so that the content of tea is easier to absorb.


A community forum on a proposed new charter school — which would be the first in Dutchess County, if approved for operation — is set for Friday.
The City of Poughkeepsie could get a charter school - the first in Dutchess County - under a new plan the community can hear about on Friday.
The Hudson Valley Success Academy Charter School would be located in the City of Poughkeepsie, with a proposed opening in fall of 2019.
The proposal, which is in the "letter of intent" (beginning) phase of the application process, is being handled by educational consultant Robert Watson. He's a former Poughkeepsie City School District superintendent and the brother of school board President Felicia Watson.
But there was reportedly opposition from some in the Poughkeepsie district when another charter school proposal was on the table a few years back. And elsewhere in the state, there has been friction between charter schools and the public school districts in which they are located.
"Ideally, our expectation is collaboration in competition — not just competition" with the Poughkeepsie district, Watson told the Journal.
Charter schools were established to give families more school choice, improve student achievement, increase learning opportunities, encourage use of innovative teaching methods and more, according to guidelines.
Charter schools are public, funded with tax dollars that follow students from their home districts. But while they get public money, they have fewer regulations and can operate by their own rules, often with longer hours and no unions, the Journal News has reported.
In New York, there were 267 charter schools educating 125,000 students during the 2016-17 year, according to the state Education Department. Most are in New York City. In this part of the state, they're nearly non-existent; the closest one is in Newburgh.
No district wants to lose the tax dollars that follow students to a charter, about two-thirds of its "per-pupil" cost. Charters tend to be proposed in needier communities with poor test scores and limited resources, the Journal News has reported. They are also seen as a sign of dissatisfaction with the school system.
But if the city-based Academy is approved, the hope would be to help Poughkeepsie schools, according to Watson's proposal. The charter school could serve as a "progressive educational laboratory" and share ideas with the district, lower class sizes and more.
Felicia Watson and Poughkeepsie Superintendent Nicole Williams could not be reached for comment by press time.
Robert Watson's initial proposal calls for serving 300 K-6 students, half of whom would be special needs, which is "uniquely different" for a charter school, he said.
But the early plan "is expected to change" as community input comes in, an important part of the process. Friday's forum is one of two planned in January.
Watson would also serve in an ongoing role as educational consultant for the Academy, if plans are approved.
One controversial aspect of charter schools is the lottery system by which students are selected, when the number of applicants exceeds the number of spots available.
Watson said if the Poughkeepsie-based school is approved, he anticipates a waiting list, which means a lottery would be conducted.
Stephanie Green, president of the Poughkeepsie district teachers union, said that "all potentially positive additions to the educational well-being of the children of our city" are welcome.
But Green said she has "concern for those students," related to the difference in teacher certification requirements at public versus charter schools. For instance, "charter school teachers can be 'certified' by the charter school with only 160 hours, the equivalent of one month of training, and only 40 hours of teaching practice." But the state requires "350 hours... for public school teachers.
"I hope this new proposal from Mr. Watson fares better than the studies regarding public charter schools in urban school districts already documented," Green added.
The application process to start a charter school is extensive.
Many factors are taken into consideration, and applicants must put forth "a strong educational program, organizational plan and financial plan, as well as clear evidence of the capacity of the founding group to implement the proposal and operate the school effectively," according to the state.
Once approved, charter schools are held accountable through terms of their contractual agreements.
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has championed charters and for-profit education, contending in Congressional testimony that school choice can lower absenteeism and dropout rates, the USA Today Network has reported.
When: Friday, from 6-7:30 p.m.

A Hot Tub can be placed anywhere outdoors, even in densely populated areas. The foundation on which the Tub stands must be stable, and can be built using either a wooden frame, concrete base or a compacted gravel bed. The Hot Tub cannot be placed directly on grass.
Many people prefer to integrate their hot tub into the terrass.
Plan in advance, it should be comfortable to step down into the bath, and also to get out again. The edge of the tub ought to be placed around 30-40 centimeters above the floor of the terrass. If the edge of the tub is flush with the floor of the terrass then it might feel like stepping into a well and a rail for support is reccomended. Consider ways of emptying the tub when integrating it into a terrass or similar.
ATTENTION! If the hot tub will be countersunk e.g. in a terrace it is necessary that the access is not obstructed in any way order to be able to service it. Service hatches should be removable without a problem (example: AquaKing, AquaStar).
Hot tub sunk into terrass. In this tub it is comfortable getting in and then out again. The heater with connection pipes is placed on the outside of the terrass.
Insulated hot tub with stairs integrated into the terrass.
It will also work to place the hot tub above the terrass thanks to the integrated stairs.
Integrating your hot tub into the terrace has become very popular. Read the category above which is called "many would like to integrate their hot tub into the terrace". Observe that it needs to be insulated from the bottom side as well. Please take a look at the pictures and our suggestion to give you an idea how to do the insulation.
Placing the insulated base in a way that side- and bottominsulation, which is made of hard styrofoam, meet so they are on top of each other and like that it is well protected against the cold. You can read more about it in our assembling instructions.As you can see on the picture the drainage has been done that it goes directly to the drainage outside the house.Pumps and pipes are protected within the insulated box.
It would be also possible to place the filtrationnsystem in another room, eg. in the cellar.


What Makes the StormTank Module Different From Other "Crates"?
One of the biggest misconceptions in the stormwater management industry is that all box structures are the same. This couldn't be further from the truth. There are actually two different types of underground stormwater storage box structures: the internal-walled "crate" (Image 1) and the column-supported product. Brentwood's StormTank Module is one of the few products that is designed as a columnar structure (Image 2).
In general, when a load is applied to the top or the side of the product, it is transferred through a connection to the support member that then transfers the load to the base.
With internal-walled products, the interior and exterior walls will transfer the vertical load to the base, and compression forces from lateral loads will be transferred from the exterior walls to the internal walls. These internal walls are connected to the outer walls and base by pins, which have small engagement areas. This makes the pins susceptible to shearing if high loads or inadequate engagement occurs and can result in system failure.
Column-based systems function similarly by transferring vertical loads through a socket to the column and through the column to the base. Additionally, these structures utilize panels around the perimeter to resist lateral forces, providing resistance to lateral pressure. And they are doubly enforced: as the lateral forces increase to a level above the wall's strength, the wall will deflect and engage the column to provide the needed resistance.
Internal-walled systems can limit the ability for material to move freely through a stormwater storage system and can cause increased buildup of debris. This is because once the debris enters the system and gets caught on a wall, additional debris will accumulate around it. This buildup of larger material can prevent the system from properly retaining runoff, causing the runoff to back up into the storm sewer and increasing necessary maintenance.
In products without internal walls, runoff and debris can flow freely through the system. This is beneficial because debris can pass through the system without clogging the connections, and it also reduces the likelihood of backups and maintenance concerns.
When it comes to connections, we need to consider two different types: inlet and outlet connections as well as observation and cleanout connections.
Inlet & Outlet: In this regard, internal-walled structures limit the potential pipe sizes that can be connected to the product because it has very limited space on the sides due to the internal walls – which are typically less than 12" apart. Space is also limited on the shorter ends of the product, which are typically less than 18" wide. Therefore, pipes larger than these diameters cannot directly connect to the product and must be abutted to the uncut panel. This can lead to pipe clogging, settling, and even damage to the panel.
This problem is reduced with column-supported structures as the panels freely span the height of the product. To accommodate larger pipe diameters, an opening can span two adjoining stormwater storage Modules while retaining their structural strength. Or, if the products are abutted against a catch basin for direct flow, the side panels can be removed. These connection options prevent flow point clogging and backups into the storm sewer system.
Observation & Cleanout: These are added to the top of the product. Both internal-walled and column-based products have diameter limitations, which are determined by the distance between the walls or the columns. However, column-based systems typically have greater spacing to allow for larger connections and greater access for cleanability. Because of the openness of the columnar systems, you can also see greater distances with a camera than you would be able to in an internal-walled system.
Last but not least, the cost difference is important to note. Both the number of external walls and the total height of the stormwater storage system affect the bottom line. Utilizing an internal-walled product means that changing the shape or alignment of the system will not affect the cost because external panels are built into the price for each piece. The drawback of this pricing model is that you pay for all the internal panels, so there are no price breaks or options for optimizing cost based on the layout. These products become more cost-effective as the ratio of system area to perimeter increases.
Column-based products are the opposite. For example, if we consider two column-based systems with the same storage capacity, a long and narrow shape will require more external panels, and therefore, will have a higher cost per unit storage. But a more square-shaped system would have more internal area with a smaller perimeter, resulting in fewer external panels and lower cost. This design allows for layout flexibility, which can help you to save money.

Q: Minimize price for volume discount orders I'm trying to put together a system to suggest consumable kits based on a requested quantity.  The challenge I'm running into is that the kits have volume/bulk discounts, so it may be cheaper for the customer to order a larger quantity because the price may be less.  For example, let's say the available kits are:

*

*25 widgets for $15

*10 widgets for $7

*5 widgets for $4

*1 widget for $1

Right now, for a requested quantity of 74, my algorithm will suggest 2 x 25, 2 x 10, and 4 x 1 = $48.  It would be cheaper however for the customer to just order 3 x 25 = $45.
Any thoughts on how to tackle this?  I'm coding in C#.
Thanks!

A: That looks like standard DP (dynamic programming).
// bestPrice is array of best prices for each amount
// initially it's [0, INFINITY, INFINITY, INFINITY, ...]

for (int i = 0; i <= 74; ++i) {
    for (Pack pack : packs) {
        // if (i + pack.amount) can be achieved with smaller price, do it
        int newPrice = bestPrice[i] + pack.price;
        if (newPrice < bestPrice[i + pack.amount]) {
            bestPrice[i + pack.amount] = newPrice;
        }
    }
}

The answer is min(bestPrice[74], bestPrice[74 + 1], ... bestPrice[74 + 25 - 1]). Overhead 25 - 1 is obviously enough, because otherwise you would remove one pack and amount would still be >= 74.
Some links on the topic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming
http://www.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=tutorials&d2=dynProg
edit
You can find optimal solution if you modify it a little. Add lastPack array, so lastPack[i] is the size of the package you used to achieve amount i. I guess, you can figure out how to update pseudo-code above.
Once algorithm is finished, you can get solution like this
int total = 74;
while (total > 0) {
    // package of size lastPack[total] was used to get amount 'total'
    // do whatever you want with this number here

    total -= lastPack[total];
}

A: So you are actually going to have to manually determine all of the breakpoints for items under a order of 25. Then basically use a lookup table type scenario to determine what to order for qty's less than 25. AS pointed out previously this is very similar to the Knapsack problem.
Basically your code would look something like;
int qtyOrder;
int qtyRemain;
int qty25pack;
int qty10pack;
int qty5pack;
int qty1pack;

//Grab as many 25 packs as possible
qty25pack = (qtyOrder % 25);
qtyRemain -= qty25Pack * 25;

//Here use your lookup table to determine what to order
// for the qty's that are less than 25

You could use some kind of greedy algorithm to determine it on the fly. Which would be ideal if the prices are expected to change a lot.
That could look something like filling the package size with an exact match and then determining the closest match that is just over the qty remaining and see if it is cheaper.
So for example:
//find the perfect product amount price
While (qtyRemain != 0) {
perfectPrice += (qtyRemain % nextSmallestSize) * nextSmallestPackagePrice;
qtyRemain -= (qtyReamin % nextSmallestSize)
}

//Find the closest match over price
While ((qtyRemain % nextSmallestSize) != 0){
closePrice += (qtyRemain % nextSmallestSize) * nextSmallestPackagePrice;
qtyRemain -= (qtyRemain % nextSmallestSize)
}
//add the last price before we reached the perfect price size
closePrice += nextSmallestPackagePrice;

//determine lowest price
if closePrice < perfectPrice {
 cost = closePrice;
}
else {
 cost = PerfectPrice;
}

This code is no where near complete but should give you an idea. Code is also probably not the greatest either.
Edit
The second chunk of code would go after the first chunk in place of the lookup

A: Well, starting with the 25th unit, the price is $0.60/item.
So if the customer orders more than 25, forget the packages that you are calculating and just multiply the quantity by $0.60.

Cameron rebuked by UK Statistics Authority over debt lies
After the PM falsely claimed the coalition "was paying down Britain's debts", the UK Statistics Authority points out that the national debt has risen by £300bn.
By George Eaton
Last week I reported that Labour's Rachel Reeves had issued a complaint to the UK Statistics Authority after David Cameron falsely stated in a Conservative Party political broadcast that the coalition "was paying down Britain's debts".
Andrew Dilnot, the chair of the stats authority, has now replied to Reeves, confirming that there was no basis for Cameron's claim. He rightly points out that the national debt has risen from £811.3bn, or 55.3 per cent of GDP, to £1,111.4bn, or 70.7 per cent of GDP, since the coalition entered office. This is hardly surprising. For debt to fall, the government would have to run a budget surplus, something unthinkable at a time of economic stagnation. But that hardly excuses Cameron's myth-making. The PM doesn't need to be told the difference between the deficit and the debt (although Dilnot helpfully reminds him anyway), he just chooses to use the latter as a synoym for the former because it's a more familiar concept to voters.
It's not the first time that the PM has had his knuckles rapped by the nation's number-crunchers. Last year, the Conservatives were forced to correct their claim to have increased real-terms spending on the NHS "in each of the last two years".
After complaining for years about Gordon Brown's manipulation of economic statistics, the government came to power promising a new regime of transparency. But Cameron's willful distortion of the facts on debt and NHS spending shows he's been unable to hold himself to this standard.
