Construction Ethics and Compliance
Chartered Institute of Building Academy
0:07Skip to 0 minutes and 7 secondsValues are the things that are important to us. They're the things that guide us They're the things that help us make choices in life. We have values which may change throughout life as our needs change throughout life, as we go through different stages of life but we also have core values. These tend to be formed very early in life. They may be themes that show up as our character thoughout life and they're formed from what's essential and unique about ourselves and our very early life experiences and so values on their own in purest essence are our motivation or your energetic aspirations if you will.
0:45Skip to 0 minutes and 45 secondsWhat makes them show up in the world is the behaviours that other people see is when we observe things in the world and we react to that based on our beliefs and the way we think things should be that then generates our feelings and our thoughts and turns into what we do, what we decide and the actions that we have in the world. How do values and ethics link together because obviously the focus of this course is around ethics, how will the two link together?
1:12Skip to 1 minute and 12 secondsOK ethics is the study of what's the rights and wrongs of a situation and we tend to have a set of, a code of practice or a body of knowledge that we use as a guide for ethical behaviour and what I would say about that is it's a code and a right and wrong, it's not necessarily what's going to motivate behaviour so to illustrate my point we all know that smoking is bad for us but the choice to not do it comes from a different motivation. It comes from...
1:40Skip to 1 minute and 40 secondsIf we want to change behaviour and we're talking about what's ethical in an industry we want to change behaviour in line with those ethical guidelines we do need to get the conversation down to what are the values that we're bringing to life? and then we'll find from that the actual human motivation to act in line with the code of ethics. So I've got a simple question for you. How do you actually define what your own personal values are?
2:07Skip to 2 minutes and 7 secondsI may have a value to be hard working I may have a work ethic, a criminal may have a value to work as little as possible for most gain Right, so, but that's their motivation, Yep, so that the values themselves are not necessarily always going to lead to a healthy workplace culture or an ethical decision in business. In business the question is; 'What values matter most to the people who are here and are congruent with the business vision and mission that we can bring to life together so that the people can be most fulfilled in the workplace and and the organisation can be sustainable and resilient because it's acting in a way that's ethical?'
2:45Skip to 2 minutes and 45 secondsOK so there's a dialogue to be had about what are the right values to bring to life in this community. OK how do you actually identify what your values are? Great question because we waltz through life reacting to things with emotion and passion and not necessarily being conscious of what the values are. that are really being triggered about what happens around us.
3:10Skip to 3 minutes and 10 secondsSo things we can do to become more aware of our own values are to, if you've got access to it which people listening to this will have access to, surveys There are quite a few organisations in the world and I'm from one of them that offer surveys but there's more than there's the Barrett Values Centre, there's Human Synergistics, there's Minessence there's other organisations where you can go to online and take a survey that will give you a report and will help you understand your values but if you don't have access to that the other sorts of things I would suggest is either in a coaching conversation or in perhaps, writing a journal by yourself Ask exploring questions so either you're listening to yourself through writing to yourself or you're being listened to by someone who's mirroring it back to you Ask questions such as; 'What do I spend my time doing?'
4:08Skip to 4 minutes and 8 secondsand keep maybe a time diary for a week then to look at the proportion of activity that is spent on home and family or work and look for the themes in where you're spending your time. and then ask, 'What does that say I value? 'What's showing up as important to me because I give it time?' and then interestingly to ask yourself 'How do I feel about that?' because sometimes you're spending time on things on not your top values and actually you're feeling unhappy in life because your balance is out. But a time journal can help you get to a point where you can witness for yourself 'What am I doing?' And then 'how do I feel about that?'
4:46Skip to 4 minutes and 46 secondsand that will help you narrow it down what is important to you I think those are great ways of starting to think about what your values are. What we're actually to do is just take a break from this interview now and we're going to get people on the course to actually do the survey that's online and actually look at identifying what their values are.
Interview with the Barrett Values Centre on how you identify your values
"People will naturally act in accordance with their own true highest values. They will spend money on what they truly value, they will spend time in ways that reflect what is most important to them. If you want to know why you are not doing something you think you should, or why you can't stop doing something you think you shouldn't the answer is you are inevitably going to do what you truly value most" (Demartini 2013)
There are a number of different ways you can identify what your values are. You'll identify them in the next steps.

As part of the Research Hootenanny held at Elm Bank, the new home of the Centre for Research Capability and Development, CAWR nominated Morwenna McKenzie to represent the postgraduate team in the Postgraduate Researcher of the Year competition.
Morwenna was judged by a panel of judges on her presentation of her PhD titled 'Still rivers run deep… and dirty!' before taking part in a tense Q&A session with the judges. As ever Morwenna remained calm and determined to claim the victory from her experience of presenting at past postgraduate events such as the 3 minute thesis competition. The CAWR supporters were out in full force as she presented her research before the results were revealed at the Research Hootenanny Dinner.
With the tough competition from other postgraduate researchers from both faculty and university research centres, there could only be one winner. Morwenna said she "was absolutely delighted to have been awarded the 2018 Coventry University Postgraduate Researcher of the Year. Thanks to the organisers for an amazing day".
Congratulations to Morwenna from all at CAWR on this award which is a testament to your work ethic, commitment and enthusiasm.
Less than a quarter of rivers in England are considered healthy; this figure has continued to decline since monitoring first began. A primary cause for this is soil erosion, from intensively farmed land, which carries fine sediment particles into rivers. The fine sediment can clog the river bed, block out light, and transport other harmful substances such as heavy metals, phosphates and pesticides. However, quantifying fine sediment in rivers is difficult because rivers are very dynamic systems. This makes it hard for water monitoring bodies to understand the problem in order to prioritise and target management actions. A common approach is to look at the small insects and other small creatures that live in the river to infer the level of pollution present, a process known as biomonitoring.
For the project, I led a laboratory study to document physical damage of fine sediment to insects, a major gap identified in the literature. Three different species were exposed to six different treatments of varying water velocity and fine sediment concentration. High powered microscopy images were used to quantify physical damage on the surface of the insect's gills. I also undertook a large-scale field work effort at 21 different sites over two seasons to sample fine sediment and river insects, using the data to test and improve existing biomonitoring methods and explore macroinvertebrate response to fine sediment. The results will help show how monitoring of fine sediment pollution can be done in a way that can support national management goals.

so the hubs and boobear decided to spend the day outside playing. When they came in, boobear was very excited to announce that they had made a snowman. Naturally I was invited to the viewing. My initial reaction was WTF (in my head, mind you). We had a good laugh about it later. Luckily the snow is melting so I no longer have to look at the creepy bird snowman hybrid on the way to the car.
So no, we're not done in the kitchen. And yes, the kitchen was started over a year ago. Whatever, that's just how we roll. It really only needs some fabric love before it's completely done. Here's what's going in.
The middle fabric is what we made our cafe curtains out of. Did you catch that? We made. Oh yes we did. Actually, truth be told, I can only take credit for the fabric selection. My friend Melsies taught my husband how to make them. I love my husband. He looked so cute sewing and surging these puppies. I'll just show you one as a little tease.
The other two fabrics will be a cushion and pillows for our kitchen seating. That should be done in a few weeks. I know I've said that before but I really think it's coming true this time. I think.
I thought I'd be posting more than I have, but life seems to have gotten in the way. Not that that is a bad thing. I've just been a little preoccupied as of late with a little someone. My Peanut is way more high maintenance than my Boobear. She's probably typical of a normal baby. My first one spoiled us rotten.
Anyway, here's the haps on the house. Not a lot has been done, but things are coming together organically. Translation, money is tight. I could whip up a room in a hurry if I had the funds. Alas, organic it is. Isn't that the way it should be anyway?
The first floor bathroom has been 99.9% done for a really long time, but the nook where the toilet sat looked pretty bare. I've been looking forever for something to put on the wall and even contemplated painting something myself (yeah right...like I have time for that), but in the end, an after Christmas trip to Tuesday Morning proved fruitful. Blah, blah. I'm boring myself. Anyway, here's the bathroom.
-I wish I could remember where all of the fixtures came from but we bought them what seems like 20 years ago . If someone really pressed me I could investigate.
So, three bathrooms down, three to go. The master bathroom is about 90% done, but the other 10% is big bucks. Wah wah. It'll be done this year though...maybe.


Get Your Greens In This Summer with Evolution Fresh Pops!
Today's discussion is brought to you by Evolution Fresh.
Sometimes I like to get a little creative with my veggies, because who wants to eat a salad over and over again? While eating healthy is a huge priority for me right now, I'm trying to find different ways to enjoy in the foods I need!
I went through all kinds of ideas, brownies with juice as an ingredient, mini key lime and cucumber desserts, and then it came to me, simple popsicles are the answer! I've been craving something cold and delicious, especially because all we've been doing lately is moving stuff into our new place in the hot, hot heat! After a long day of painting at the new place and then moving my closets contents over, I whipped up some green tangy juice pops while I let hubby unload the car.
Making popsicles with Evolution Fresh juice is super easy, all you have to do to make these beauties is pour your juice into a pop maker, or you could use other small containers and popsicle sticks. I used the Essential Greens juice and then added a few slices of berries into a couple of the popsicles and placed them in the freezer. Next time I may add a pinch of almond milk and use a different flavor for variety, but these turned out absolutely delicious with nothing added as well!
After putting away some of our stuff and waiting a few hours for the popsicles to freeze, I finally had the chance to settle in on our back porch and enjoy an Essential Greens popsicle and it was a dream come true! The tangy flavors make one of my favorite healthy juices, but the combination of all these flavors frozen is absolutely amazing!
I'm really enjoying my veggies this summer and love finding new ways to incorporate greens into my diet, what's your favorite green veggie infused recipe?

Q: ip_conntrack_max not found I did reconfigure /etc/sysctl.conf

net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max = 65536
net.nf_conntrack_max = 65536
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established = 600
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established = 600
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait = 90
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait = 90

After sysctl -p, I have received;

sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_max: No such file or directory
net.nf_conntrack_max = 65536
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established: No such file or directory

sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait: No such file or directory

I have tried to install ip_conntrack module (sudo modprobe ip_conntrack) but it was not installed. No error just lsmod | grep ip_conntrack gives no output.
I am running Debian Jessie and I installed conntrackd 1.4.2

A: Thanks for your polite and quick response.
I have figured out the solution by installing nf_conntrack_ipv4 module

A Jem And the Holograms Movie is Coming. Who Should Play Jem?
Over in Hollywood, John Chu, the director of G.I. Joe, and Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun are producing a contemporary spin on the 1980s cartoon Jem and the Holograms. I know, right?!
Aside from the fact that Braun arguably has bigger fish to fry than a Jem re-make — Is Beiber out of the woods? Is he still the Great Canadian Disappointment? — the trio have asked us, the potential audience, in the clip above who we think should play Jem and the Holograms? Seeing as Braun's crew instructed us to share our answers with the hashtag #jemthemovie over on the film's less than exciting Tumblr, I figured we should ask you fine folks for your opinions. My knee-jerk reaction says P!nk would be a good Jem, but I guess the casting doesn't have to be so literal. Also, Taylor Swift is not allowed in this thread. You have been warned. GO!

Tag Archives: Consilium
Posted on July 30, 2011 by Business Roundtable
I've been enjoying a fine smorgasbord of speakers and ideas at the Centre for Independent Studies' Consilium in Coolum. A highlight has been a session titled 'The Language of Denial: Freedom of Speech in an Age of Political Correctness', featuring James Allan, super smart Canadian law professor formerly at Otago and now at the University of Queensland. Janet Albrechtsen, columnist with The Australian and a regular guest speaker at Business Roundtable events, Brendan O'Neill, editor of The UK's Spiked, and Thilo Sarrazin, author of Germany Abolishes Itself (the publication of which forced him to resign from his role as a Bundesbank director).
The session covered the chilling effects on free expression of political correctness in such matters as the science behind climate change, immigration, religion, the plight of Australia's Aboriginal people, the justification of 'hate speech' laws, and the problems posed by the newfound prominence of Islam in Western society. While Australia's problems in this regard are greater and more complex than ours, there are plenty of lessons here for New Zealand.
Less edifying was a session titled 'An Uncertain Harvest: Investigating Global Food Security'. Malthus seemed to have a couple of seats at the table in a round of agonizing about food security and whether the world can feed its population in the 21st century.
I made the point that food security is often the code word for agricultural protectionism. It has been the excuse for the common agricultural policy and protection of Japan's rice farmers, for example. If markets are allowed to work, trading is free, and property rights and contracts are secure, it is hard to see why global supply and demand will not balance over the longer term. As one delegate said, there's never been a famine in a democracy.

ON HOPE AND LOVE OF COUNTRY
I'm at Consilium this week in Coolum as a guest of the Centre for Independent Studies and the recipient of their Alan McGregor Fellowship. Consilium is the CIS' annual ideas and think fest that brings together a great cross section of Australia's leaders of business, politics, academia, and the wider community to deliberate on the major economic, social, cultural and regional issues facing Australia and New Zealand. It's an impressive gathering with all 150 attendees microphoned and seated around a massive oval table.
The forum opened with a dinner last night where I and former Australian PM John Howard were presented with the two annual Alan McGregor Fellowships. The late Alan McGregor AO was a former CIS chairman who played a major role in the organisation's development and success. The awards are given to honour individuals 'who have made a significant contribution to the advancement of the principles for which the CIS stands' – free markets, a liberal society, and personal responsibility I've enjoyed a close collaborative relationship with the CIS over more than 30 years and greatly appreciated the honour.
The awards ceremony was followed by 'Life Under Challenging Regimes',a conversation with Professor Ricardo Lopez Murphy, Argentine economist, and Senator David Coltart, Minister of Education, Sport, Arts and Culture, Zimbabwe, moderated by Paul Kelly, Editor-at-Large of The Australian. David Coltart is the only white elected MP in a cabinet of 39, and represents a constituency that is 98 percent black. He spoke of a once highly successful country devastated by a succession of fascist governments, draconian political restrictions, genocide, economic ruin and inflation beyond the believable (a hundred trillion dollar note, that even after 21 zeros were taken off it, still did not buy a loaf of bread). Yet in the last three years, he explained, while life in Zambabwe remains fraught with risk and social turmoil, the currency has been abandoned, exchange controls and tariffs are coming down, economic growth is picking up – to over 8% last year – and there is hope that Zimbabwe could yet regain its former status as the jewel of Africa.
Ricardo Lopez Murphy was an unsuccessful candidate for the Argentinian presidency on two occasions. He told a similar story of a man committed to achieving democracy and economic prosperity for his country.
The session was, in short, a tale of two people explaining why they love their countries and stick with them, and their grounds for hope that through the restoration of the rule of law and common sense economics, these two countries will rise again.

VATICAN CITY - The Vatican on Tuesday condemned the "barbarous killing" of a priest in a French church, saying Pope Francis was horrified by the news.
"We are particularly shocked because this horrible violence took place in a church, in which God's love is announced," Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said.He said the pope was feeling "the pain and horror of this absurd violence" and "condemned in the most radical way any form of hate".
Two attackers killed a priest with a knife and seriously wounded another hostage in a church in northern France before being shot dead by police. There were no immediate details on the identity or motives of the assailants.

Q: Is there a way to run gherkin lint for committed files? I'm using gherkin-lint for my wdio/cucumber-framework and I would like to run the gherkin lint for the committed files only.
I have tried using the lint command and it does for all the files, not only the committed files ?

A: If you're not averse to using another gherkin linter, try reformat-gherkin together with pre-commit. Their repo has instructions: https://github.com/ducminh-phan/reformat-gherkin
If this is too much of a change for your workflow, here's a guide to using gherkin-lint using a git hook, although it's many more steps and won't be reproduced for your collaborators: https://qaankush.medium.com/governance-of-cucumber-projects-using-git-hooks-and-gherkin-lint-69e199045695


Stanford grads Alissa Haber and Lauren Lappin contributed to Team USA's 5-0 victory over Japan on Friday in the World Cup of Softball in Oklahoma City. The U.S. Women's National Team blanked Japan for a third straight time, including a 4-0 decision in the semifinals at the Women's World Championship and a 7-0 triumph in the gold medal game.
The game had more action than the scoreboard reflected. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh, Japan's Naoko Matsumoto lofted a fly ball to right field. Kaitlin Cochran made the catch and launched it to Lappin, the starting catcher, just in time to tag Satoko Mabuchi at the plate for a double play.
"I'm just glad I could get it to Lappin in time," Cochran said. "All of the Japanese players are quick, they have great speed, so I knew I just had to throw it home quickly if we wanted to keep them scoreless. It got there just in time for her to make that great tag at home."
It ended a great game not only for the nine-time women's world champions but also for Cochran, who homered to right center in the third, her second blast of the World Cup.
Haber reached on a fielder's choice in the second, bringing in Cochran, who singled to right field. A fielding error by the catcher also allowed Chelsea Bramlett to score. In the sixth, Natasha Watley had a two-run single, bringing in pitcher Jennie Finch and Andrea Duran to make it a 5-0 game.
Stanford grad Thomas Hopkins scored a team-high three goals and the United States men's national water polo team played to a 9-9 draw with Germany on Friday, the final day of pool play at the Eight Nations tournament in Italy.
Cardinal grad Peter Varellas scored twice for the Americans, who finished in a tie with the Germans in their group. Both teams advance to Saturday's semifinals. The U.S. plays host Italy.
The U.S. heads to the FINA World Cup in Oradea, Romania, which begins Tuesday with a game against China.
Stanford incoming freshman Kaley Dodson scored a goal and the U.S. junior national team downed New Zealand, 14-0, on Friday.

Home/News/Nvidia's RTX 3050 graphics card unveiled for $ 249
Nvidia's RTX 3050 graphics card unveiled for $ 249
After much speculation, Nvidia unveiled its high-end graphics card, the RTX 3050, at CES 2022, which could be the company's winner over AMD's ubiquitous graphics cards. Like the rest of the family, the RTX 3050 is based on Nvidia's amp architecture and promises support for beam tracking technology in games at 60 frames per second and 1080p resolution.
The graphics card is configured with 8GB of GDDR6 memory, and inside is Nvidia's third-generation tensor cores, which allow for things like DLSS scaling based on artificial intelligence in this price range.
به‌گفت‌ی Matt Webling, 75% of customers still use the company's old GTX platform; Thus, offering cost-effective yet powerful options such as the RTX 3050 can persuade gamers to upgrade their older graphics cards.
Like the RTX 3060, there is no Founder's Edition or so-called reference model; But Nvidia partners will probably unveil this model in the future. Nvidia's new graphics card, while appealing to gamers, will also be a nuisance; Because, as you know, the market has been struggling with a global chip shortage for some time, and miners and brokers' robots are doubling those shortages. Therefore, the RTX 3050 will also face supply limitations and people will have little chance of buying it. Of course, the problems do not end here. For example, many Nvidia graphics cards are currently selling for more than three times their official price, and of course the Green Team's expensive graphics card is no exception.

Life's A Breeze-Movie Review 03/12/2015
Posted by Films to consider in Comedy, Galway Film Fleadh, Irish film, Irish Film and Television Awards, Movies, Newport Beach Film Festival.
Life's A Breeze (Irish) 2013
Written and directed by Lance Daly
Starring Fionnula Flanagan, Pat Shortt, Kelly Thornton
WINNER, Bingham Ray New Talent Award (Thornton), SECOND PLACE-AUDIENCE AWARD-Best Irish Feature, Galway Film Fleadh
NOMINATED, Best Lead Actress-Film (Thornton); Best Supporting Actress-Film (Flanagan), Irish Film and Television Awards
WINNER, Outstanding Foreign Film (Daly), Newport Beach Film Festival
To celebrate their elderly mother Nan's (Flanagan) birthday, her five adult children surprise her by giving her home a makeover. Problem is, they got rid of her old mattress, in which she had deposited all the money she had scrimped and saved for all her married life. Now everyone has to face the fact that they have thrown away a small fortune. What ensues is a moderately amusing and touching story, as the dysfunctional family frantically searches for the mattress.
A pleasant enough movie, not overly long, with somewhat predictable characters, but a funny storyline as the entire city of Dublin gets involved. I learned a new Irish slang word: "culchie" – someone from the countryside, often delivered in a disparaging way (as it was in this film).
83 min. Rated R.

Ondine (Irish) 2009
Written and directed by Neil Jordan
Starring Colin Farrell, Alicja Bachleda, Dervla Kirwan, and Alison Barry
WINNER, Best Lead Actor (Farrell); Best Supporting Actress (Kirwan); Best Production Design; Best Sound, Irish Film and Television Awards
WINNER, Best Actor (Farrell); NOMINATED, Best Original Screenplay (Jordan), San Diego Film Critics Society Awards
An updated version of the Irish folktale of the Selkies, seals who transform into humans for a time.
Syracuse (Farrell) is a fisherman and a recovering alcoholic with a solitary lifestyle. His young daughter Annie (Barry), who lives with his ex-wife Maura (Kirwan), has kidney disease and must use a wheelchair. Syracuse does his best to help care for her.
One day, Syracuse pulls up one of his fishing nets and finds a young woman named Ondine (Bachleda). At first she seems to be drowned but comes back to life. Annie begins to believe that she is a Selkie, and she soon has her father and much of the town believing it, too.
Although not a big award winner, I thought this film was refreshing and not overly sentimental. Farrell shows an emotional side that makes his relationships with Annie and Ondine touching, and the ending, which is a bit of a stretch, easier to accept. Alison Barry, who plays Annie, hasn't acted before this role.
Also check out The Secret of the Roan Inish, for another retelling of the tale.
103 min. Rated PG-13.

The Secret of Roan Inish (Irish/English) 1995
Island of the Seals
Directed by John Sayles
Starring Jeni Courtney and Pat Slowey
Among one award and several other nominations:
NOMINATED, Best Director (Sayles); Best Feature; Best Screenplay, Independent Spirit Awards
A little off the beaten path: a friend recommended this movie, which is a retelling of the Irish folktale about the island of Roan Inish, the island of the selkies – seals who are said to take human form. I enjoyed it much more than I expected.
Fiona, aged ten, is sent to live with her grandparents across from the island of Roan Inish that they (and she) used to call home. When she gets curious about the local legends about the island, she finds out about her own family history and about her baby brother.
Director Sayles tells the tale without being overly sweet or sentimental; credit in this respect should be also given to the young actress Jeni Courtney in her introductory role. Apparently, she did not go on to act in many other pieces (only three are listed on IMDb).
A great movie for kids and adults.
102 min. Rated PG.

In Bruges (British/Irish) 2008
Winner, Best Performance-Comedy (Farrell), Golden Globes
Nominated, Best Writing-Screenplay (McDonagh), Academy Awards
Winner, Best Screenplay (McDonagh), BAFTA Awards
Winner, Best International Film; Best Script for Film (McDonagh); Nominated, Best Actor (Farrell); Best Actor (Gleeson); Best Screenplay (McDonagh), Irish Film and Television Awards
Directed by Martin McDonagh
Starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes
When new hitman Ray (Farrell) accidentally kills a little boy on his very first job, he and his mentor Ken (Gleeson) get sent to the Belgian city of Bruges to lay low. As they await word from their boss, Harry Waters (Fiennes), Ken tries to get Ray to appreciate the medieval beauty of the city.
A dark story about guilt and redemption mixed in with a great deal of dark comedy, witty dialogue, and a fair amount of bloody violence. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are funny as an unlikely pair of hitmen, and Ralph Fiennes is creepy as a cold-blooded killer who pretends to show consideration for someone he's about to do in.
Favorite lines (there were many):
Ray says to Ken, "I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I'd grown up on a farm and was retarded, Bruges might impress me. But I didn't, so it doesn't."
Be sure to watch "A Boat Trip Around Bruges" in the DVD's Special Features for a look at this lovely city.
107 min. Rated R. Bloody violence, drug use, and strong language.

The Wind That Shakes the Barley (Irish) 2006
Winner, Palme d'Or, Cannes Film Festival
Directed by Ken Loach, written by Paul Laverty
Starring Cillian Murphy as Damien and Pádraic Delaney as Teddy
In Ireland in 1920, citizens have started taking a stand against the British crown by fighting for the right to create an Irish Republic. The British fight back, using raids, torture, intimidation, and murder.
The O'Donovan family in County Cork has two sons: the younger one is Damien, who studied to be a doctor and plans to practice in London; the elder is Teddy, who is already in command of the local unit of the newly-formed Irish Republican Army.
Damien witnesses two violent events that change his mind about the course of his life; he joins his brother and becomes a respected member of the unit. As the fighting escalates, the brothers are faced with growing differences in their views about its purpose. What one considers an acceptable treaty with the British, the other sees as intolerable surrender of the goal of complete Irish independence. Finally, each brother must make a terrible decision.
According to Wikipedia, this film "set a record in Ireland as the highest-grossing Irish-made independent film ever."
127 min. Not rated. Violence.
Once-Movie Review 09/29/2010
Posted by Films to consider in Irish film, Light Drama, Movies, Musical.
Once (Irish) 2007
Winner, World Cinema Audience Award, Sundance Film Festival
Written and directed by John Carney
Stars Glen Hansard, songwriter and singer/guitarist from the Irish rock band Frame, as the guy and Markéta Irglová, Czech singer, songwriter, and musician, as the girl.
Simply stated, a guy and a girl meet by chance on the streets of Dublin. Their lives are intertwined while they make music together, and their story is accompanied by their songs.
Most of the lyrics and music was written by Hansard and/or Irglová. Their song "Falling Slowly" won Best Original Song, Academy Awards and Critics Choice Award, and was nominated for a Grammy. (See below for info about an accompanying CD).
Neither Hansard nor Irglová had acted prior to this film, and their very natural performances reflect the friendship they had off-screen.
On a side note, everyone working in the creative realm should have a supporter like the guy's father, who gradually realizes that his son truly does have what it takes to become a successful musician. He serves tea while the band practices together and critiques the resulting demo tape with a sincere: "That was f***ing brilliant!"
I've seen Once twice, will watch it thrice.

Govt Commits Additional Funds to Community Workers' Pay
Monday, 16th July 2012 at 12:03 pm
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has announced an additional $1 billion to workers in the social and community sector (SACS) as part of its contribution to the historic pay rise awarded in February this year.
The Government says this takes the total commitment for equal pay for social and community workers to around $3 billion through to June 2021, as part of the phase in period.
"The Federal Government now expects state and territory governments to meet their obligations and commit their share of funds," Gillard said.
From 1 December 2012, 150,000 of Australia's lowest paid workers will receive pay rises of between 23 and 45 percent as a result of Fair Work Australia's decision to lift the wages of some of Australia's lowest paid workers. Around 120,000 of these workers are women.
Speaking at the NSW Labor Conference in Sydney at the weekend, the Prime Minister said her Government was committed to meeting its share of the costs associated with this historic decision.
"Employees in our social and community sectors work in some of the most challenging of jobs such as counselling families in crisis, running homeless shelters, working with people with disabilities and with victims of domestic violence or sexual assault.
"These employees make a real difference to lives of some of our most vulnerable community members and they deserve to be properly rewarded for their efforts.
We also need to do everything possible to attract and retain more workers in this sector of the economy," she said.
Up-to-date information on the pay rise is available on a dedicated website here.
More coverage of the SACS payment can be found here.

Bridge cameras have probably the most zoom of all the cameras, making it potential to get close-up photographs all the time, great for sports activities, wildlife and extra. Zooming in magnifies the impact of digicam shake, so an ultrazoom needs to have excellent optical and electronic image stabilization. The record of bridge cameras that follows is dominated by Sony, and for good purpose. One advantage is that the digital preview is affected by all taking pictures settings and thus the picture is seen as will probably be recorded (by way of things like exposure, white stability, and so on.) which the OVF of DSLRs is incapable of displaying.
Some take the standard activity of being a good compromise between price, dimension and image quality, and others come to exchange the DSLR as a complete photographic resolution for all of your wants. In such a situation, bridge cameras are perfect as they will not take up too much room, they're compact and portable and they are able to taking great footage even when you can't get close to your topic.
Featuring an 83x optical zoom, you will get closer to the subject than you'll be able to with another digital camera presently in the marketplace. So, should you child is on stage, a bridge digicam can produce a a lot better photograph or video clip than your smartphone can. It also has an exterior mic jack, and can shoot in UNCOOKED, one thing few other ultrazooms can do. Its very comfy handgrip, swiveling LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY, and highly effective picture stabilization make it able to capturing sharp photographs or jitter-free video of laborious-to-reach pictures, equivalent to shooting over your head.
For those who're used to using a Nikon DSLR, you may favour the model already, and with this camera you get guide control and raw format capturing. It is not always sensible to take a number of photographic equipment and a cumbersome DSLR digital camera while you're out and about, but if you want to seize some incredible surroundings or wildlife photographs, compact cameras simply will not do the job.
Bottom Line: The Canon PowerShot G3 X couples excellent image high quality with an extended zoom range, nevertheless it actually needs a built-in EVF. It's a traditional small sensor bridge camera, with a 60x optical zoom – this time nevertheless the extensive angle starts at 20mm, which is good for landscapes and journey pictures. FujiFilm Finepix 4900Z, introduced in 2000, was among the first digital stills cameras to use an digital viewfinder (EVF) as an alternative of the majority of an optical one.

Spider Expert Finds Biological Basis for Threesomes
Our thoughts on threesomes are too human-centric
Matthew Persons, Susquehanna University
Yasmin Tayag
Late one night, Matt Persons shone a light into the bushes of his Pennsylvania backyard, looking for the familiar eight-bulbed flash of spider eyes. Persons, a behavioral ecologist at Susquehanna University, has been studying wolf spiders for nearly three decades. But in that time he had never seen what he saw that night: 24 spider eyeballs, shining back at him like a cluster of lustrous grapes. He had walked in on a threesome.
In later weeks, Persons observed two more spider ménages a trois, which led him to author a paper on its biological implications, soon to be published in the Journal of Arachnology. While threesomes have become common among pleasure-seeking humans, they don't happen particularly often in nature, where sex largely happens for the sole purpose of reproduction. But in an interview with Inverse, Persons suggests that our thoughts on threesomes are too human-centric in their focus on sexy feelings. What if threesomes actually do have a biological purpose?
This 24-legged freakfest is more than just fun. Matthew Persons/Susquehanna University
In one spider throuple he "caught in the act," he explains, there was one male courting the female with a showy display, which she accepted by rotating and laying down flat, waiting for him to climb on. But all this time, a second, voyeuristic male watched in a corner, waiting for the pair to begin. Once they started to mate, the second male hopped on for the ride and the 24-legged trio continued to mate for the next four hours. Females have two copulatory organs, as do males, Persons says, so this "anatomical potential" makes it possible for her to have sex with both males at once.
The real winner here, he says, is the second, opportunistic male. Spider mating is inherently risky because females often eat the male after sex (all that action makes her hungry) and are choosy to begin with, often ignoring horny males. If one male takes the plunge and courts the female, risking death by cannibalism, and succeeds, then the "moocher male" can hop on for the ride and spread his seed without taking too much of a gamble.
"It's a great strategy if you're ugly, slow, timid, or lazy," Persons laughs, explaining that "parasitizing courtship" is a way for otherwise un-mateable males to ensure that their genes get passed on to the next generation. The moocher male's strategy is to capitalize on distraction: When the normally highly aggressive female is occupied with sex with another male — it's thought that males might secrete a sedative to make females catatonic during sex so they "don't freak out" — the chances she is going to eat and/or kill a male are slim. The first male, of course, gets cucked, but he still accomplishes his goal of transferring his semen to the female. In this occasionally deadly game of polyamory, she is the only real loser.
Female spiders have the "anatomical potential" to mate with two males at once. Matthew Persons/Susquehanna University
"It's probably to her detriment because it's not who she's chosen," Persons theorizes, though he acknowledges that this behavior could be interpreted as her version of a "bet-hedge." Because a female spider temporarily stores male sperm in sacs (known as spermaceca, or "sperm houses") rather than allow it to fertilize her eggs directly, allowing threesomes to happen might be her way of collecting the best options before deciding later. This process, known as "cryptic female mate choice," is not well understood. "Given the cost of reproduction, you'd think you'd see it in other species where sexual cannibalism is common," he says, but he notes that other researchers that tried to artificially induce threesomes among spiders found their subjects to have more conventional preferences.
In the future, Persons hopes to find out whether threesomes in the spider world are a common thing — or whether he was simply treated to an especially rare trio of voyeuristic experiences by the eight-eyed gods.

Business Transformation Emerging Technology Energy Outlook Operational Efficiency Knowledge Management
The Future of Gas Generation: Renewables, Fracking, and Market Design
Peter Kelly-Detwiler
The future of gas generation will by shaped by its relationship to renewables, regulations to keep costs down, and new drilling technologies.
Energy Outlook Innovation Trends Regulations North America
The price of gas is profoundly affected by the simple concept of supply and demand. While demand may grow—particularly for LNG exports to offshore markets—many observers expect increases in supply to offset any new demand. These supply increases will be driven largely by new technologies that decrease the cost of production.
Keeping Costs Down
The future of gas generation in the U.S. will in large part be driven by three main factors:
1. The price of natural gas in coming years.
2. The increased amount of renewables and the role gas-fired generation is playing to complement them.
3. Regulations affecting the future wholesale power landscape.
Two techniques in particular will help keep gas production costs down. The first is the refracking of existing wells. Casey Research reports that this process allows companies to re-enter old wells and fracture them again with improved techniques at a portion of the original cost. Business & Industry Connection Magazine reports that by 2020, refracked sites will represent over 10 percent of wells drilled.
The second way to keep costs down is by increasing the size of the fracking jobs. Organizations are accomplishing this by pumping as much as 25,000 tons of sand into a single enormous well to prop open more spaces in the shale rock and release more hydrocarbons. In just two years, the length of horizontal wells in the U.S. has increased by 50 percent, and some are nearly as long as two miles. These advances in technology are cutting gas production costs down by as much as 50 percent, according to a recent Chesapeake Energy report.
Outlasting Conventional Counterparts
All of this would be good news for gas-fired power generators if they could see solid conventional energy prices. The problem is that lower-priced gas and cheap renewables (with near-zero marginal costs of production) are resulting in softer electricity prices. Many competitive wholesale markets, such as western PJM (principally western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio) and ERCOT (Texas), saw record-low spot electricity prices last year. This has squeezed the margins on generators, including coal, nuclear, and natural gas, prompting business leaders to question old ways of doing things. According to Seeking Alpha, Mauricio Gutierrez, the CEO of NRG Energy, recently commented that the traditional merchant independent power business model that has existed for decades is no longer viable.
While these price pressures are intense, the good news for gas-fired generators is that they will likely be the last man standing. Coal and nuclear plants are positioned to succumb to these economic pressures first. Already, thousands of megawatts (MW) of coal generation have retired or switched to cleaner, cheaper natural gas.
Adapting to a Renewable Future
In many sectors, gas-fired generators will also survive by shifting their focus to deliver more valuable products, such as capacity and ancillary services. Gas-generation plants that are digitized to provide operators with greater transparency into how hard and how flexibly the plant can be run will likely thrive in a renewable-focused industry. These more robust units will play a critical role in integrating increasing levels of renewables to the grid—and they'll be the most cost-effective resource to do so.
Surprisingly, it does not take many conventional generating resources to address the issue of short-term intermittency that arises from renewables. A recent study for PJM, the country's largest power pool, suggests that the addition of 100,000 MWs of renewable resources would require only an annual average of 1,000–1,500 MWs of additional fast-ramping regulation capability from conventional generators.
A critical element here is how to adequately compensate these conventional-generation resources (mostly gas-fired) to provide the electrons and services required. Additionally, it's important to address what economists and grid planners refer to as the "missing money problem." According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, this problem exists where markets are depressed and plants receive insufficient revenue to cover fixed and operating costs.
Grid operators in competitive sectors across the country are currently examining this issue closely to ensure that generation plants are sufficiently profitable to remain in business. Otherwise, maintaining grid reliability may become a serious concern.
Tomorrow's Energy Landscape
At the end of the day, lower-priced gas and clean renewables are a good thing for our society and economy. The savings generated by low-cost renewables are more than sufficient to pay for complimentary gas-fired services and the increased variable O&M costs related to ramping, start up, and shut down.
The future of gas generation therefore lies in the hands of plant operators, who can retool their plants to become more responsive and flexible in this new world of lower prices and higher variability. However, the future also lies in the hands of regulators who must continue to design economic incentives and adequate compensation for gas-fired services that the grid may rely on for stability as renewable adoption grows. With new and better technologies, low-priced gas and renewable resources are going to continue to shape the landscape for power plants, including gas-fired generators. As a society, we need to continue to adapt and plan for these changes.
What's Driving Consumer Energy Demand?
Smart appliances, electric vehicles, and the smart grid will all play a vital role in consumer energy demand management.
The Future of Wind Machines: Taller Towers, Longer Blades, and New Opportunities

What Does Accident Claim Loan Do?
Accident Claim Loan provides financial help for injured victims who need cash to cover expenses until they receive compensation from a claim settlement or damages awarded. A devastating accident can leave victims with painful and expensive injuries. When an injury has left you unable to return to work and the bills are quickly piling up, waiting on the money from a settled lawsuit can be difficult. Our pre-settlement funding solutions can help you find the cash necessary to pay your bills during the legal proceedings by providing you with fast funds before your case is settled.
Pre-settlement lawsuit funding is the one of the better lending options for people who have filed a claim and are pursuing compensatory damages for the injuries they've suffered due to an accident or third-party negligence.

While banks give personal loans to borrowers based on their credit score, income, and financial ability to personally pay back the loan, lawsuit lending work much differently. The facts surrounding your accident case will allow the lawsuit lender to determine your eligibility, whether you meet the underwriting requirements, and the accident claim loans amount you can take out on your case.

Lawsuit funding for negligence or third-party cases is available in the states below (if you have a workers compensation case, check the workers comp funding page to confirm availability).
The following list is subject to change any at time without any prior notice due to state regulations and judicial decisions.

The customer service was good and the loan process was pretty easy. I needed to have transmission work done on my car so I decided to request a small loan on my personal injury claim. All I had to do was call and speak with a representative who took my application over the phone. The process could have been completed faster but my attorney was taking his time to send back the requested information. I can't blame the lender for that delay. The underwriter called me 2 days later to let me know I was approved for the loan. They wired the money into my bank account the following day. I would recommend this lender to anyone looking to take out a loan on their claim.
The benefits of getting a personal injury loan are numerous. Personal injury loans are also known as non-recourse loans or a personal injury claim cash advance. They offer financial support as well as other support services to the claimant. For those injured persons who are unable to work and faced with overwhelming expenses, the cash from a personal injury settlement loan can provide you with immediate financial relief so that you can feel comfortable during the legal proceedings.
Insurance claims can take a long time. Insurance claims adjusters are known for dragging their feet when it comes to making fair settlement offers. Rather promptly paying legitimate claims, insurers often choose to delay, deny, and defend lawsuits. In the meanwhile your medical bills, rent, mortgage, and other expenses are piling up. To help you get through until you win your claim, ACL can provide you with a settlement loan on your accident claim, giving you access to a portion of your settlement money now.
Another huge advantage of a lawsuit loan is that the funds can help you secure a bigger payout for your damages by empowering you to reject the insurance company's low-ball settlement offer, giving your attorney additional time to negotiate the best settlement or prepare your case for trial in the event the insurance claim adjuster is unwilling to pay you all the money you're entitled to receive for your pain and suffering.
There are fundamental differences between personal loans from banks and lawsuit settlement loans provided by lawsuit funding companies. While they both offer financial products and services to people who want to borrow money for specific purposes, funding companies can often advance cash much faster and without all the hassles associated with traditional lending.
Borrowing money from an accident settlement does not require the applicant undergo a credit check by the lawsuit funding company. The client does not make any monthly payments. The borrower repays the lawsuit advance only if the attorney settles or wins a judgment on the case.
The process of lending on a pending lawsuit carries a higher degree of compared to banking. For this reason, lawsuit settlement funding companies tend to offer rates higher than banks.
Clients should carefully consider all financial options available to them. If you decide a settlement loan is right for you, then make sure you choose a reputable and reliable legal funding company ready, willing, and able to give you the financial support your deserve during the long, drawn-out legal proceeding.
Why accept a low-ball car accident settlement from the insurance company when you can use a car accident loan to win a larger payout for your injury claim.
Receiving pre-settlement loans without an attorney on your case?
Injured people who want money while waiting for their case to settle, often consider getting pre-settlement loans. One of the qualifications for receiving pre-settlement funding is having retained an attorney to represent you in a civil case. If you hired a lawyer to bring a claim, you qualify to apply for a settlement loan by Accident Claim Loan.
Will my credit score affect my lawsuit funding application?
While lawsuit funding and personal loans both allow borrowers to get cash for their need, using a lawsuit loan to borrow money from a lawsuit does not require a credit check. Your credit score will not impact the lawsuit funding decision. Qualifying is based on the facts of your case and the potential settlement you can expect to receive for a pending lawsuit.
How long do accident loans take to process?
Accident claims don't settle quickly. Many cases take a long time. Fortunately, the process of receiving accident loans through Accident Claim Loan is fast and hassle-free. The total amount of time it will take to get an accident loan is determined by how quickly we get the requested information from your attorney. Our goal is to have you funded within 24 hours.
Why plaintiffs with lawsuits get car accident settlement loans from ACL?
A car accident lawsuit settlement covers personal injury and property damage to plaintiffs involved in a crash. Many auto accidents that result in serious injuries drag on for years, but car accident settlement loans can help you pay for what you need while you wait for your claim to settle with the defendant.
When do I pay back the car accident cash advance?
The money you receive from auto accident settlement funding is not a loan but it does help you get a cash advance against your car accident claim before the case is settled by providing you with an advance on a portion of your pending car accident settlement. You repay the cash when the claim is paid.

Not long ago, I talked to a brilliant young lady who characteristics new invention that sherrrd like to market to turmoil. Of course, she already has a day job, but she would wish to use this as her ticket out of the 9-to-5 world, and help launch her career as the successful venture, innovator, and entrepreneur. I so applaud such desire to reach your goals in the free-market. I believe that's what makes America great, as there is opportunity for people who want to go for it, consequently are willing to take risks. Now then let's talk about this for second shall we?
Can someone actually bring a new invention to advertise if they still possess a day job? Yes, I believe they can, and there are many success stories of injured. No, it's not going staying easy, but even products and solutions only spend a few hours a night you can put together a pretty decent business plan, operate your prototype, do the patent searches, InventHelp George Foreman Commercial and do market studies how to pitch an invention to a company learn if what you in order to produce, if your original thought and concept can actually make it in actuality. You may discover that wonderful is your idea, but no one is really going to buy it, and you're not acquiring rich selling it.
That's okay, because this research you do in advance and the business planning that you work difficult to learn, well, these are the first stesp, regardless of what the invention is. Even if the invention doesn't makes sense, that doesn't mean up coming idea won't. What you need to do is keep your head going, focused, and not let your grandiose ideas of optimism run away with it. You need to be systematic in your practice. Of course, this is my advice on the young gal who actually has a great invention, but I can't tell you what it is, it is a secret for now.
There are a quantity of steps you need going through, those steps take time, and require patience, if you have one day job, then you be able to the time in the world don't you? Thus, you should start right away, do your research, your business planning, and see if that something people will buy. If so, start designing your prototype, and view if people like it, if they do go file a patent a provisional patent, patent pending, and a little test sales on eBay, Craigslist, and/or Amazon.

Volvo Announces New Safety Initiatives
March 21, 2019 by Gilbert Shar
Volvo announced several safety initiatives for driver monitoring of distraction/drinking, a new Care Key and making safety data public.
Apart from speeding, which the company aims to help combat with a top speed limit, intoxication and distraction are two other primary areas of concern for traffic safety. Together, these three areas constitute the main 'gaps' towards Volvo Cars' vision of a future with zero traffic fatalities and require a focus on human behaviour in the company's safety work as well.
For example, figures by NHTSA show that in the United States, almost 30 per cent of all traffic fatalities in vehicles in 2017 involved intoxicated drivers.
Volvo Cars believes intoxication and distraction should be addressed by installing in-car cameras and other sensors that monitor the driver and allow the car to intervene if a clearly intoxicated or distracted driver does not respond to warning signals and is risking an accident involving serious injury or death.
That intervention could involve limiting the car's speed, alerting the Volvo on Call assistance service and, as a final course of action, actively slowing down and safely parking the car.
Examples of such behavior include a complete lack of steering input for extended periods of time, drivers who are detected to have their eyes closed or off the road for extended periods of time, as well as extreme weaving across lanes or excessively slow reaction times.
A driver monitoring system as described above is an important element of allowing the car to actively make decisions in order to help avoid accidents that could result in severe injuries or death.
Introduction of the cameras on all Volvo models will start on the next generation of Volvo's scalable SPA2 vehicle platform in the early 2020s. Details on the exact amount of cameras and their positioning in the interior will follow at a later stage.
The company is limiting the top speed on all its cars to 180 kph from model year 2021, in order to send a strong signal about the dangers of speeding.
Volvo Cars t also revealed the Care Key, which allows Volvo drivers to impose limitations on the car's top speed on all cars from model year 2021, before lending their car to others.
Care Key
The Care Key, the monitoring cameras, the speed limit as well existing driver assistance systems all serve one single aim: to support safer driving.
The Care Key allows Volvo drivers to set limitations on the car's top speed, before lending their car to other family members or to younger and inexperienced drivers such as teenagers that only just received their drivers' license.
The speed limit and the Care Key are both part of that initiative and illustrate how car makers can take active responsibility for striving to achieve zero traffic fatalities by supporting better driver behaviour.
Beyond the potential safety benefits, features like a speed limit and the Care Key are also likely to offer Volvo drivers a financial benefit. The company is currently inviting insurance companies in several markets to conversations to offer special, favorable insurance to the Volvo community using these safety features.
Specific deals and terms will depend on local market circumstances, but Volvo Cars expects to announce the first of several agreements with national insurance firms soon.
Volvo Safety Data
Volvo Cars is for the first time making its safety knowledge easily accessible in a central digital library which it urges the car industry to use, in the interest of safer roads for all.
Project E.V.A. illustrates, based on Volvo Cars' own research data as well as several other studies, that women are more at risk for some injuries in a car crash. Differences in for example anatomy and neck strength between the average man and woman mean that women are more likely to suffer from whiplash injuries.
Based on those studies and its own crash data, Volvo Cars created virtual crash test dummies to better understand these accidents and develop safety technologies that helps to protect both men and women in an equal way. The first resulting technology was WHIPS whiplash protection introduced in 1998 that has contributed to the unique look of Volvo's seats and head restraints.
More recently, Volvo Cars's research data showed an issue with lumbar spine, or lower back, injuries across all people, regardless of gender and size. Further analysis and study made Volvo focus on the dangers of run-off road injuries. The resulting technology, introduced first on the XC90 and now on all SPA-based cars, is an energy absorber in the seats that goes far beyond what is a regulatory requirement for car makers.

Even though the fight is fixed doesn't mean we get mad and give up.
LOVE is the 'meal' of the world.
I've read how some people are tired of this whole 'Ferguson killing' thing being about race or they're 'tired' of the whole 'race thing' because they buy into the delusion that somehow racism is gone because Obama was elected president. To those who are mentally fatigued I ask, do they think we who are a part of the black culture aren't tired too?
Do they think watching the unwarranted killing of our children, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and loved ones is fun? Do they think that we WANT to have another thing to deal with… Like being in a fixed fight every day of our lives isn't enough?
Do they think that we as parents who have young black men and women to raise WANT to concern ourselves with the possibility that it may be our son or our daughter lying dead in a pool of blood next time because of a so called 'accident' or 'mistaken identity', 'weapon miraculously appeared' or because someone 'feared for their life' or any other lame excuse to be used to get away with murder?
Do they think the black foolists out there who consistently embarrass our culture on a DAILY basis and bring hatred to our door is exciting?
Do they TRULY think this is all fun and games to us? Do they think we don't WANT EQUALITY, JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS IN THIS LAND THAT HEMORRHAGES HYPOCRISY, DECEPTION, MALEVOLENCE AND A BLATANT DEVALUATION OF A CULTURE?? Next time you tired, take a nap.

Cameras, Microphones, Proximity sensors, Laser range finders.
Typically concerning robot boats the environment is perceived through laser range finders, a radar system, a stereo camera pair, and a monocular vision system. The sensors acquire environment data at rates between 10 and 100 Hertz. Map and position information is incorporated at 10 Hz, enabling SolarNavigator to avoid collisions with obstacles when docking and other vessels in real-time while navigating the open oceans - but it doesn't stop there.
Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) guided solely by waypoint navigation are limited in their ability to operate in constantly changing environments, such as ports and harbors, where the positions of obstacles may be continuously moving or where GPS coordinates may be difficult to acquire, such as under bridges.
In addition to GPS, SolarNavigator uses a optical-based control system to take advantage of real-time vision to identify targets and avoid obstacles, for its autonomous navigation, rather than depending solely on pre-determined routes. As you may imagine, this is the tip of the iceberg, involving data manipulation and control, integrated with communication equipment of several kinds such as to make the SolarNavigator compliant when it comes to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 and/or the Merchant Shipping (Distress Signals and Prevention of Collisions) Regulations 1996.
Should the SolarNavigator enter a sensitive military zone, or suffer attention from pirates, then the ability to distinguish between friendly and unfriendly interaction could be vital to survival. In such a situation Hawkeye comes into its own, enabling the craft to identify shipping while at a good distance and so decide on evasive maneuvers well in advance of a potential dust up.
SolarNavigator to life - in a robotic sense.
system for image recognition and target ranging; and a Fit- PC2 computer for image processing. Software from OpenCV may be used to track colors and images. The vision system software outputs data to the control board for processing in order to direct the vessel to avoid objects while progressing from one GPS waypoint to another.
