text: HELP PLEASE!!!!! I am attempting to set up an Xbox gaming scenario for my kids where they can use the "system link" option on Xbox to play games against one another. For Xmas I bought my kids a second Xbox and TV with all the essentials necessary to have a double console "gaming room." I hooked both Xbox's up to the TV's and linked the consoles together only to find out you need 2 copies of a game in order to play in this "linked" fashion. My kids were crushed and disappointed. They have over 150 Xbox games and I am NOT about to buy duplicate copies of games they already own just so they can play each other!! I called Microsoft about this issue and they informed me that I needed to buy additional copies of the games since each child is "technically" using the game and should have to pay for its usage HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT?!? They already own a copy of the game!! Ever since that conversation I have been trying to find a way to make a "back up copy" of the games so my kids can play each other. They want to play with real people but live is not an option. I wont allow them to play online since Xbox has no way of monitoring Xbox live and the kids hear all types of conversations. I am not that uptight, but just do not feel a 10 year old should hear some of the things I have heard online. I bought a copy of DVD X Copy after someone recommended it to me and said it would work perfect. It did not, my PC's dvd drive would not read the Xbox game. I have read some of the information on this site, and to be honest I am more confused that ever. Moding, ISO's, FTP, etc etc???????? I am not that tech savvy and simply want to be able to make this work for my kids. Any suggestions? Am I doomed to buying additional copies of each game they plan to play via system link? Is there anyone out there that could possibly do all of this stuff for me for a $$ charge? Someone offered to sell me a "mod xbox" but stated I would have to still make the "back ups" which again, I do not think I would be able to accomplish from what I have read here today. Thanks for any help Brandon

Kidnap and piracy map highlights global trouble spots
Eleven countries are classified as 'high risk' of kidnap, business executives are warned, up from eight a year ago.
Eleven countries are classified as 'high risk' of kidnap, business executives are warned, up from eight a year ago.
The world is a more dangerous place for the travelling business executive than it was 12 months ago, reports NYA International.
The global risk and crisis management consultancy has released its 2016 Kidnap and Piracy Map, accompanied by the 'Global Kidnap Review', a special report examining kidnap for ransom over 2015 and likely themes in 2016, to guide organisations on threats to their people and operations worldwide.
NYA reports that intensified civil conflicts in Africa, entrenched criminality in Latin America and the advance of Islamist militancy in spaces worldwide have pushed the number of "severe" kidnap ratings to 11 countries, from eight in 2015.
A further 11 countries, including India, Egypt, Lebanon, Cameroon and Kenya moved from "medium" to "high" – the latter four all facing significant threats from Islamist militancy. In 2016, global economic uncertainty and low oil prices threatens to exacerbate the kidnapping threat in countries such as Mexico, Nigeria, Venezuela and Libya, where threats are already high to severe.
One positive note is that peace talks in Colombia, once the world's leading kidnap hotspot, showed mediation and concession can reduce threats, albeit over time.
Severe threat ratings for piracy remain in place for off Somalia, Nigeria, Singapore and Malaysia. While there have been no hijackings of large commercial vessels off Somalia since 2012, attacks, sightings and hijackings of smaller vessels in 2015 indicate the threat remains severe.
Extremely violent hijackings, crew kidnappings and a return to militancy in the Delta sees Nigeria retain its severe threat rating. Criminal boardings off Singapore and Malaysia remain constant, and periodic hijackings for cargo theft contribute to its severe rating
"We advise organisations to be fully informed about the threats, put appropriate mitigation measures in place, provide security training for their staff, and ensure that the organisation is prepared to response to incidents of this nature, if they occur," says Alex Kemp, managing director of NYA.
"Good security risk and crisis management helps protect human lives, and safeguard the organisation's operations and reputation."
Kidnap and piracy leagues
Among the key findings from the 2016 report on kidnap for ransom:
• 11 countries face a severe kidnapping threat: Afghanistan, Central African Republic (CAR), Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
• Egypt, Cameroon, Lebanon and Kenya were four of 11 countries to move from medium to high threat. Each faces domestic or neighbouring Islamist militancy.
• The Philippines is Southeast Asia's top kidnapping hotspot, where Abu Sayyaf and the New People's Army continue to pose a significant kidnap threat alongside criminal gangs.
• Colombia gives cause for optimism, as continuing peace talks with the revolutionary armed forces (FARC) demonstrate mediation can alleviate once severe kidnap threat.
• Although foreign nationals bear a disproportionate threat burden, domestic nationals are more likely to be kidnapped, with nine in 10 victims in 2015 kidnapped in their home country.
• Asia accounted for 40% of kidnap incidents, Africa 34%, the Americas 14%, the Middle East 10%. Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) accounted for 2%.
Among recent developments in piracy:
• Nigeria's southern coast, from Ondo State to the Cameroon border is classified as a severe threat area due to frequent hijacking and attacks, characterised by crew kidnapping and often lethal violence.
• The area off Somalia, in the Gulf of Aden and Bab el Mandeb is classified severe. Although no large commercial vessels have been hijacked in recent years off Somalia, periodic incidents and sightings indicate a severe threat remains.
• Bangladesh and Venezuela have high threat areas in their waters due to repeated hijackings and attacks against typically smaller vessels.
• There is a severe threat in the Malacca Straits, off Singapore and in the waters of the South China Sea south of Brunei, reflecting high frequencies of hijack, extended duration cargo theft and criminal boarding.

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen..."(heb. 11:1)
"Faith honors God. God honors faith and goes wherever faith puts Him. Faith, Biblical faith, can do all that God can do. (Because its sole desire is God's glory, it would not ask anything amiss- 1 John 5:14.) Faith's supreme longing is for the return of the glory that has departed from the sanctuary. Its ambition is not colored by the clay vessel. Faith is wedded to the love which "seeketh not her own." Faith longs for an overthrow of the powers of darkness. Faith yearns that the world might know the message of redeeming love, and aches for the enslaved millions to be unfettered from the chains of sin. Faith has compassion for those 'Bound, who should conquer; slaves, who should be kings." -Leonard Ravenhill, Revival Praying.
"And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him."-Hebrews 11:6
"For we walk by faith and not by sight."- 2 Corinthians 5:7
Faith...what is there even to say? I can't even begin to scratch the surface. In praying and seeking God, faith keeps on being impressed upon my heart. We absolutely and entirely need faith to be able to present ourselves as an effective tool in the hand of our Father. It is impossible to please Him without it. We need faith to dream big, to see the unseen, to believe the unbelievable, to not only agree that God is indeed able, but that He WILL provide. Jesus Himself tells us to, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." (Matt. 7:7-8) But James then warns us, " but he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord..." (James 1:6-7). Oh, if I only had faith the size of a mustard seed! Thailand needs people who have faith. God, who is faithful, has drawn many men and women of faith to this land to establish His kingdom in the heart of its people. Yet still, only 1% of Thailand has come to the saving knowledge of Christ Jesus. It is hard to think that God can penetrate a hardness of that degree, but we can believe in faith that ALL things are possible with our King. God give us faith to believe that You will create worshippers in Thailand!
Pray that we would walk by faith, lead our lives in Christ, whom we received by grace through faith, and that we would ask God in faith, fully assured that He is a good, compassionate, giving God who desires that all might become more like His Son.

Question about Hyundai Sonata
Posted by dcbrodeur on
We have the 2006 Hyundai Sonata V-6 We get only 17 mpg over 55,000 mi. Other friends get better mileage with the same vehicle. Driving techniques are the same.
Also the 2009 models claim 20% better mileage. What have they done to increase mileage figures and are there things to do to update my engine to get better numbers?
Check your tire pressure to make sure you aren't underinflated,
Also, you might consider changing where you buy gas as different cars react differently with the various formulations available.
How many miles are on the car and does it run good otherwise?
Posted on Sep 07, 2009
Now I see that you have 55k miles, unfortuately that info was not available on the first screen. I'd take the car to the dealer and have them check it out as it is still in warranty. They may well be able to find something because it does sound like there is a problem.

However, this approach is challenging because current chemical conversion methods employ high temperatures or pressures, thereby increasing cost and potentially leading to net carbon positive processes. Our work presents a novel materials system for dynamic modification of catalytic behavior via polarization reversal in a ferroelectric substrate (i.e tunable catalysis) in order to reduce the energy required for these reactions. Dynamically Tunable Catalysis (catalysis enhanced by real-time changes in the surface chemistry of the catalyst) has been gaining ground recently as a way to go beyond the limits of Sabatier's principle. However, it is not clear whether the catalytic activities of proposed schemes are really better than simply finding a good material close to the top of the volcano in a static catalysis scheme. In this thesis, we study the tunable catalysis scheme of ZnO supported on a ferroelectric. We demonstrate that the physics and chemistry at the surface of the ZnO film can be tuned via the polarization direction of the PbTiO 3 substrate and the thickness of the ZnO. Using Density Functional Theory (DFT), we evaluate the effect of the number of layers and ZnO film orientation on the film's surface chemistry. By characterizing the adsorption and reduction of CO₂ on the different surfaces, we show that a tunable catalysis scheme can significantly increase the rate of CO₂ reduction by several orders of magnitude with less energy cost than simply increasing reaction temperatures and pressures. In addition, we develop a scheme to induce ferroelectricity in ZnO films. If proven in the lab, this will be the first scheme to induce ferroelectricity in ZnO without relying on the involvement of dipole-inducing dopants. In addition, we show that this scheme allows for consistent surface chemistry in tunable catalysis which is important for practical applications. Finally, for the first time, we develop an approach to screen for new tunable catalyst candidates that can potentially be applied to oxides. Our work opens new doors for the catalysis of CO₂ reactions. This work provides a quantitative indication of the promise of tunable catalysts and also their limitations. It thus represents an important contribution to both interface physics and surface catalysis. Thesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2017.; Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.; Includes bibliographical references (pages 151-164). 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z Improving solar thermal receiver performance via spectral and directional selectivity http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/113762 Improving solar thermal receiver performance via spectral and directional selectivity Weinstein, Lee A. (Lee Adragon) Adoption of renewable energy technologies has accelerated rapidly in recent years due to growing energy demand and concerns over climate change. Among renewable energy sources, solar energy conversion systems are particularly promising due to the abundance of solar energy reaching Earth. Despite its abundance, the solar resource is dilute, so solar energy must be collected efficiently in order for it to meet an appreciable portion of demand. The efficiency of solar energy conversion systems can be improved by taking advantage of the spectral and directional properties of sunlight. Spectral properties refer to the distribution of wavelengths associated with solar photons, with most solar energy arriving as photons with wavelengths from 300 - 2500 nm. Spectral selectivity entails absorbing these solar photons while suppressing losses associated with infrared photons at longer wavelengths. Directional properties refer to the incident vector of sunlight, which spans a small solid angle due to the sun's distance from Earth. Directional selectivity entails absorbing radiation from the direction of the sun while suppressing losses to other directions. This thesis explores the theoretical limits of performance enhancement via spectral and directional selectivity, as well as practical devices designed to take advantage of those effects. Limits to spectral selectivity are investigated by applying the Kramers-Kronig relations to spectrally selective absorbers. Limits to directional selectivity are studied via geometrical limits, and are compared to the limits of concentrating sunlight. Two silica aerogel based solar receivers are presented as practical devices utilizing spectral selectivity. A solar thermal aerogel receiver is predicted to achieve similar performance to state of the art vacuum tube receivers, and a hybrid aerogel receiver that collects electricity from photovoltaic cells and heat is shown to potentially achieve higher efficiency than photovoltaics or a thermal receiver alone. A macroscale reflective cavity is demonstrated as a method for achieving directional selectivity in solar absorbers, and can be used to improve the performance of both solar thermal systems and photovoltaic cells.

Functional tissue grown in the laboratory will also provide a much-needed source for the clinical replacement of diseased or damaged tissues. A major hindrance to the development of these technologies has been the inability to vascularize tissue-engineered constructs, resulting in limited size and biological complexity. In this thesis, we report the development of a novel 3D fluidic platform for the generation of functional, human, microvasculature. Using different fabrication methods, we developed both a micro-fluidic system (0.1 - 1 mm tissue dimensions) - used for high throughput disease modeling assays, and a meso-fluidic system (I - 10 mm tissue dimensions) - for generating removable tissue-engineered constructs. These systems were validated by their successful use in a metastasis model - to elucidate the mechanism of cancer cell extravasation, and in the formation of a vascularized, perfusable tissue construct containing pancreatic islets, respectively. Vascularization, in our system, was achieved by encapsulating endothelial cells in a 3D fibrin matrix and relying on their inherent ability to collectively self-assemble into a functional vasculature - as they do during embryonic development. To better understand and characterize this process, we measured the morphological, functional, mechanical, and biological properties of the tissue as they emerged during vascular morphogenesis. We found that juxtacrine interactions between endothelial cells and fibroblasts enhanced the functionality and stability of the newly formed vasculature - as characterized via vascular permeability and gene expression. Under optimal co-culture conditions, the tissue stiffness increased 10- fold, mainly due to organized cellular contraction. Additionally, over the course of 2-weeks, the cells deposited over 50 new extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, accounting for roughly 1/3 of the total ECM. These results shed light on the mechanisms underlying vascular morphogenesis and will be useful in further developing vascularization strategies for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.

Black and White Sunday
Black and white Sunday... A great idea. Somehow, however, I suspect that creators of this tradition didn't expect photos like these ones!
A mountain lion entered a clearing where I have a trail camera and immediately focused on it. It emits a barely visible red glow at night. I'm not sure if it's the infrared glow or a faint smell from the camera that attracts animals to check it out.
Now, I'm guessing that this is type of photo that was actually expected for Black and White Sunday!

Yes, we agree R is Very Handsome! ;-) The other black n white photos of the Cougar are awesome. Looks like that one is posing - great closeup and he definitely seems curious about your camera. Good luck with your hard decision. Looking forward to hearing what it is.ReplyDelete

Oh, I not expecting the trail camera photos for the B&W! But they're so cool, and outside the box!

Ann...from...Outer Banks of NC....said....Thought I would check in early to see if the (WONDERFUL) news had been posted....I knew precious K would be there to help you decide......love the pictures in B/W....so appealing...especially R's pretty face.....And the mountain lion was so cute too......close-up and personal.....HUGSReplyDelete
That is a fantastic wildlife photo! Just seeing the question on the mountain lion's face is so very cool.ReplyDelete
And R is very handsome!
B&W, the lion is captured so well. Choices ? K will know your decision is made with love, much thought,and with her memories of wonderful days together, we are waiting for your next news.Enjoy,maybe grieve a little, but be sure K is always with you in your heart, which is absolutely large enough to share the love some more. Fond greetings, Jean.ReplyDelete
Just love the B&W photos. That mountain lion sure is checking things out.ReplyDelete
Can't wait to hear what your final decision is going to be. I think K will guide you on this one! But, what if K does decide you need both of them? R and the runner certainly can't fight that decision! BOL
I just want to reach up and pet that big ole mountain lion. But then, I have not been credited for being the smartest human in the world.ReplyDelete
Great photos. Love the one of R.
Keeping my fingers crossed that all will run smoothly with your choice.

We love the way the mountain lions look into the camera, BOLReplyDelete

Totally unexpected, yet very cool!ReplyDelete
I thought I knew your decision in yesterday's post, and I still think I know. Sometimes things keep coming back in front of us for a reason!ReplyDelete
That last mountain lion shot is so darned cool! Just...wow!
And of course R looks good in black and white and living color! :)
I am very excited to hear about the new family member. It's not just you opinion but ours as well. R is is indeed handsome. I do believe that is a kitty I would not chase. Might cure me from chasing any kind of kitty.ReplyDelete
All the photos are beautiful. How cool that you can get that close to a mountain lion without all the risk. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to hear your news.ReplyDelete
R is in my opinion, very handsome and very funny, which is a dynamite combination in my book.ReplyDelete
Your Mountain Lion pics are wonderful too.
Waiting in anticipation. R is one lovely looking chappy. Have a great Monday.ReplyDelete
Best wishes Molly
The mountain lion pics are amazing. Im looking into getting a trailcam because of your wonderful site and pictures :)ReplyDelete
Love the picture of R especially the reflection in his eye.
Look forward to hearing the outcome of your new family member.
What gorgeous shots of the mountain lion, especially the up-close picture!ReplyDelete
You sure are handsome, R!
You are in our thoughts, KB.
Love ya lots,

I love those lion shots!!! Such a handsome animal and my favourite.ReplyDelete
Great stuff.
Oh my!! Love the mountain lion shots. Having just fostered a 6 month old GSD for my beloved Dogs for Autism I will say take the 9 MO and RUN!! LOL However, there is definitely something to be said for having a dog since puppyhood. Standing in the yard at 3AM in 25 degree temps while the little fat puppy decides between playing, pooping or peeing or all three is somehow a bonding experience. Either way, another canine soul will be a blessing.ReplyDelete
Mamma Heartbeat
Can't wait to hear your decision. And so glad you won the trail camera contest I love all your pictures that it takes. R you are a beautiful soul for sure. Have a great day! Sniffs, The HoundDogsReplyDelete
Oh KB, I can hardly wait to see what puppy *WE* are getting!! You do realize that this new puppy is going to have about a million aunties don't you?!?!?ReplyDelete
Have a great day and give that handsome R a treat for me.
Your B&W pic's are beautiful. I would hate to meet that mountain lion while out on a ride tho. But is he ever curious!ReplyDelete
We are keeping our paws crossed that all works out with the new addition to the family. We are gonna just hold our breath until we hear the good news....... Yup, still holding our breath!
Lily Belle & Muffin
Your trailcam photos are just breathtakingly stunning. And I love the fact that you are so familiar with the whole variety of animals that live in your area, and have such amazing closeup photos of so many of them. I'm so glad you were the winner of the trailcam, I know it will be put to good use! Even if photos of R aren't what it takes -- but he's got the flashy box attached to you so he doesn't need to pose for a trailcam. :)ReplyDelete
R is indeed handsome!ReplyDelete
A new addition? How exciting! No one can ever replace K - but you are right that a new pup can bring a lot of joy in its own special way. I think K would approve. Hopefully R does too! :)
Wow- such amazing photos of the cougar!! I can't wait to see what lucky pup gets added to your family!! :)ReplyDelete
Those cougar close-ups are wonderful!! And yes, R is one handsome dude!! Look forward to hearing your decision. :)ReplyDelete
Yes, R is adorable, but so is the face of that cat! Love the closeup!ReplyDelete

It was a long and hard road for our little Flonne here – from being a trainee angle, to almost become a demon, over suffer as a fallen angel to finally being the new ruler of Celestia. So all hail to the new Seraph!
When I took a picture of this figure back in 2008, it was one of my first attempts by using the new photo table and the studio light set up. So the result wasn't that spectacular and in my opinion Flonne deserves a much more WIN figure photo than this one. So I came back to my old vision of putting here on top of a pillar reaching out in the sky. In 2008 I might have this idea but neither the time nor the props to realize such an image.
This is the image from 2008. I still love how soft the structure of the surface looks like in this picture.
But beside of that it's nothing really special about it, which made this an outstanding piece of photography. But anyhow the picture does his way into the old figure calendar I designed back in 2009.
I was very lucky to found this small sized pillar on ebay for a few bucks, that is originally designed to have as a candlestick.
It was not easy to find something in this particular size. Most of the pillars you can purchase are for room decoration and much taller and more expensive. Also I found some sort of aquarium gimmicks that are mostly looking cheap and are mostly even smaller than the figure itself.
And finally I got myself a fog machine! I figured out that both, water and smoke are two very creative elements you can often use on pictures. So I guess soon you will see more pictures where I use this machine. (Also since we was able to fix it and not bring it back to the store)
And so this is the finaly picture! I'm pretty happy with it and it definitely represents my style of working in these days. The one from 2008 isn't that bad, but this is a picture unique and memorable.
And if you are watching the "making of" video we did, you can find out why there was no chance to shot portraits or even scene pictures this time.
(And how Ohki tricked me, to make those Steins;Gate nendoroid photos)
So here we go…..your beloved Steins;Gate – satisfied?
(Hmmm…did you get it……butterfly……effect…..)
Ok, guess this wraped it up for today – hope you enjoy it and I will see you next time
for another "pure WIN figure photo"!

Grant Gilbert
Grant Gilbert studied a national diploma in Graphics at Stockport college going on to study at degree level at the UCE in Birmingham. After graduating he worked for 3 years at Planet 24 starting on the bottom rung. Thereafter he worked for Channel 4 again for 3 years. He has had experience with title sequences and promos whose work has included the rebranding of BBC 1, ITV 2, Channel 4 and Five. He owns Double G studios and went on to describe his process which involves making moodboards and detailed storyboards. He showed us powerpoint slides of his work including a channel 4 music ident which I found really interesting which involved tents with cables coming out illuminating, I thought it was extremely abstract.
Gilbert calls himself a designer but gets labelled Graphic Designer which he said he has done but it doesn't mean he he can't do motion graphics. He has eperience with logo designing/development including the More 4 logo, the sister channel of Channel 4. He went into detail about rebranding the BBC logo being influenced by past BBc logos including Abram Games' 1953 logo. He went onto say that he uses After Effects and described one of the ads he was developing for the BBC. He wanted to produce a design of people holding the BBC logo divided into seperate squares. There is a lot of development with his ideas and that things that stand out are simple and striking. I had no idea that Gilbert was involved in the hippo ident which got many complaints because of the financial cost of 1.2 million pounds. Gilbert mentioned that he has collaborated with 'Spin' a company in London and likes to paly the channels off with each other when promoting himself. He did comment that he found it difficult to work with the BBC because there was so many people to work with. Overall I found the lecture very interesting and felt that his ideas were original and inspiring.
