"Encampment of the Convention Army," an etching originally published in London in 1789. After the critical American victory in the Battles at Saratoga, New York in October 1777— a turning point in the War for Independence— thousands of British and their allied Hessian soldiers were taken prisoner. After having been kept in Cambridge for a year, nearly 4,000 of the enemy troops were marched hundreds of miles south to be kept in a rural area of Albemarle County, west of the town of Charlottesville. They arrived in the winter, January 1779 to what one survivor described as "truly horrible" conditions. This "Convention Army" established a prisoner of war camp known as the "Albemarle Barracks." In 1781, as British forces marched on Virginia, the prisoners of war at the Barracks were moved north to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where they remained until released in 1783. The western road, from Charlottesville out to the Albemarle Barracks, is to this day still referred to as Barracks Road.

Currently, sensor networks consist of isolated systems of sensors that communicate in different formats and are accessed by disparate and proprietary interfaces. These isolated networks are not interoperable; each isolated network of sensors or even each type of sensor within the network usually requires its own software for sensor asset management (i.e., sensor discovery, data retrieval, tasking, etc.). Furthermore, adding a new sensor type to a sensor network often requires significant integration of time and money. Since these isolated networks are usually controlled by different organizations with different operational requirements, it is often difficult or impossible for a user looking to capture and analyze particular types of sensor data on a global, national, state, or even smaller scale.
Sensor data, as with other intelligence, has even higher value when it can be fused with data from multiple sources. High-value sensor data often goes unexploited due to the failure of traditional information management systems to discover, manage, and relate this data. This failure, caused in part by the technological and organizational stovepipes that exist in today's sensor networks, results in a gap between data and users' ability to transform data into actionable knowledge.

The Joby Chase!
What was supposed to be a very relaxed and easy ride turned into a bit of a panic after taking the top picture and leaving my Joby Gorilla Pod (portable tripod) on the trail. Luckily I returned and it was still there. A planned short ride from Mill Creek to halfway on the lower Ewok trail where I took the below picture and realized it was missing.
Holy shit. This has got to be the most boring ride write up that I have ever done. You wanna hear how I had a dream that my dentist retired last night? Would that be better?
Sorry... I'll do better next time.
On a side note, I added photo credit to yesterday's ride. The best pic on there was of course not me.

Losing weight is simple right? Just move more and eat less, sounds simple enough. It is that simple, but if it were that easy 69% of Americans wouldn't be overweight. Unfortunately, the SAD (standard American diet) style of eating coupled with a sedentary lifestyle has caused our nation to become embarrassingly overweight and unhealthy.
Imagine 2 people, one thinks short term and the other thinks long term. The two people want to see the view of the mountains better. They both get the idea to walk up the stairs of a building to get a better view. Person #1 walks up one flight of stairs, gets a little winded, feels their legs burning and stops at the 1st floor to see the view. The view is ok and it didn't take that much work.
Person #2 knows that if she gets to the top floor that the view will be breathtaking. Person #2 doesn't mind the burning in her legs as she climbs or the heavy breathing, because she knows that when she gets to the top of the 20 floors it will all be worth it, and she isn't bothered by the pain and suffering. All she can think about is how great that view is going to be, she even picks up her pace as she gets closer.
Most people are like person 1 putting in a little effort to have a little bit of joy. The really successful people in this life are more like person #2 as they view life through a different lens and with a unique perspective.
If you ask person #1 about their experience they may say," it sucked, I hate sweating and the view wasn't even that great."
Person #2 may say, "that view was awesome, but I wonder how the view looks from that taller building over there", not even noticing the pain associated with climbing the stairs because they are focused on the long-term reward rather than short term pain needed to get there.
Let's all be like person #2 and make the short-term sacrifices needed to achieve long term success and happiness.
I hear a lot of people saying things like, "I'm just not motivated to lose weight". I believe that it is less about being motivated and more about just not executing the tasks necessary to achieve the end result.
Losing weight is more about cooking, grocery shopping, doing dishes, planning meals, and tracking your calories and weight.
Too many people get caught up in trying to find some magical diet, pill or workout instead of focusing on the behaviors that will get them closer to their goals.
Many people expect results too fast, and underestimate the amount of hard work and consistency it really takes to make a behavior change and improve their health.
I like to take on the way of thinking that most people are doing the best they can with the knowledge they have. Many people just aren't sure who to trust when it comes to health, exercise and nutrition. The government regulations say to eat your whole grains, your friend from work says going keto is they way to go and your sister is convinced that the vegan lifestyle is the best path for success. Not to mention your co worker who praises CrossFit and paleo, or your cousin who says to just track your macros on an app and do some flexible dieting.
Who do we believe? Logic and reasoning can go a long way but it is important to note that some things are counter intuitive and may not make sense logically, yet scientific studies have opened our eyes to the truth.
If someone is giving your health advise a healthy balance of it making logical sense amd having some scientific evidence backing it. Then give it a try and see if it works for you. You will never know if something really works if you don't give it an honest try.
I try not to get pulled to far into one side of an issue, I believe that the best situation is somewhere in between all the different approaches, aka the golden mean. Much like life, losing weight is a lot about making the right decisions over and over again.
Here are some main focal points that I think we can all benefit from focusing on to improve health and be at healthy weight and body composition.
- Understand that the number one thing you can do to lose weight is to be in a calorie deficit
- This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to track your calories, but if you do track your calories accurately this will greatly improve your chances of success
- Once you have tracked your calories for months or years you will learn to eyeball things and estimate and you will intuitively know how much to eat.
- This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to track your calories, but if you do track your calories accurately this will greatly improve your chances of success
- Move your body
- You can undoubtably lose weight without exercise, but your diet will be very low in calories and all though you will make progress first, adding exercise to your routine will help you continue to lose weight and eat more food while still losing weight.
- Weigh yourself regularly
- You don't want to develop an unhealthy relationship with the scale but you can't improve what you don't measure.
- Weight is an easy thing to measure and all though measuring bodyfat or blood work may give you more insight into how your body is really changing. As your weight goes down it is likely that your bodyfat will go down and your blood work will likely improve as well.
- You don't want to develop an unhealthy relationship with the scale but you can't improve what you don't measure.
- Set some short- and long-term goals
- Focus on the daily tasks that will help you achieve your short-term goals
- Example: rather than focusing on how bad you want to lose 20 lbs, focus on the tasks of eating what you planned to eat and getting your 30 minutes of exercise each day.
- Hitting these checkpoints consistently will lead to achieving your short term and eventually long-term goals
- Example: rather than focusing on how bad you want to lose 20 lbs, focus on the tasks of eating what you planned to eat and getting your 30 minutes of exercise each day.
- Long term goal – lose 20 lbs in 10 weeks
- Short term goal – lose 2 lbs per week
- Tasks – eat 1500kcal/day + 30 minutes of brisk walking
- Focus on the daily tasks that will help you achieve your short-term goals
Often times we think too short term rather than long term. Sure, this salmon and broccoli doesn't taste as good as chic filet, and going for a walk isn't as fun as vegetating on the couch watching the bachelor. Sometimes you just have to do the thing that you don't want to do in the moment knowing that it will pay off down the road.

Busch Gardens, an amusement park owned by SeaWorld Entertainment, has announced that the Beach Boys, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo have canceled their upcoming performances at the park in the wake of nine other artists scheduled to play SeaWorld who have since pulled out. The acts were all part of the Bands, Brews & BBQ concert series held annually at the park. The cancellations have come in response to the recent CNN documentary "Blackfish" and growing protests inspired by the movie.
Beach Boys and Pat Benatar cancelled their Bands, Brew & BBQ dates. We are committed to bringing our fans a great festival.
- Busch Gardens (@BuschGardens) January 15, 2014
The Beach Boys had been the target of a petition on Change.org that had just over 1,000 signatures on Wednesday night, calling on them to cancel their show.
In response to the acts cancelling, SeaWorld said in a statement, "It's disappointing that a digital harassment campaign enacted by animal activists led to denying thousands of fans what would have been two exciting concerts, but we're committed to bringing our guests a great festival."
Now, only country singer Justin Moore and former American Idol contestant Scott McCreery remain on the bill for the concert series at SeaWorld (though both are being targeted by their own petitions on Change.org here and here).
The lineup at SeaWorld now looks like this:
And there are now no bands listed on the Busch Gardens website.
The total list of cancellations thus far is:
Willie Nelson Martina McBride Barenaked Ladies REO Speedwagon .38 Special Heart Cheap Trick Trisha Yearwood Trace Adkins Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo Beach Boys

Why Should A Church Host A Wildgame Dinner?
Brad Clay
We don't have to tell you that men's ministry is tough. On any given Sunday in America there are 13 million more adult women than men in attendance in our churches. Men don't like to admit they are wrong or ask for help. To come into a relationship with Jesus we have to admit we are sinners (we are wrong) and that we need Jesus (help). So, creating events like a Wildgame Dinner is a great way to get men into the doors of the church, in a non-threatening environment and present them with the gospel. There are nearly 14 million hunters in the USA and using the common ground of the outdoors to reach those men is quickly becoming a very effective way to draw men into the church. However, this isn't just about the man. When a man comes to faith in Christ the rest of the family follows 93% of the time.
Our Church Doesn't Have A Mens Ministry Budget, How Can We Pull It Off?
I do realize that many churches don't have much money set aside for men's ministry. I do believe that this can be a huge outreach and you should figure out a way to make it happen.
You should want to try and keep the event free if possible but many churches do charge to come to the event. There are benefits to charging outside of the actual money coming to help cover costs. You sell tickets and you have an idea on how many to expect, you can cap the event based on space and food if needed. This is all based on where your church is along the lines of funds to put on this event.
We Have Never Done One, Where Do We Start?
We realize that many churches have never hosted such an event and have no idea where to start. I have spoken at over 200 such events and have seen them done well and I have seen them done very poorly. Here is what you need to pull it off:
Food: Don't be scared by the name "Wildgame". You can do several things here. One, ask men in the church to bring homemade wild game dishes, another great way to involve men in the church. You should also have other food available. Many churches will do chili, fried fish, or smoked meats. (Actually had several churches bring a whole smoked hog, people loved it. Apple in the mouth in all!). You want to make sure that you have plenty of food and fish and chili seem to go along way. Tea, water, and simple desserts keep all men happy, happy, happy!
Date: We recommend doing the event between January-March or September-October. This is right before and right after the hunting season. Many churches choose Saturday or Friday evenings. However, you need to look at your church, your area, and decide what works best for you.
Speaker: You can dream as big or as small as you want here. You want Phil Robertson? If you can afford him, do it! There are several outdoor TV personalities that speak at such events like myself. Jeff Danker of Major League Bowhunter, Jimmy Houston, Daniel McVay and Buddy Groom of Buckventures, Alex Rutledge of Bloodline TV, Jimmy Sites and many more (sorry if I left you off!) You don't have to have a TV guy by any means. Maybe it is someone in your church but you want someone who can clearly...clearly present the Gospel.
Promotion: Many of these events succeed and fail by the amount of effort put into it through promotion. Don't make it all for not! Start with the men in your church and work out. Get them on board and bringing buddies. Then hang up flyers at local gun shops, bow shops, ranges, sport stores, etc. Run ads in the paper, USE SOCIAL MEDIA!!! Get the word out and get those guys in the door!
Door Prizes: One of the best way to get guys in the door is by promoting the event and mentioning some amazing door prizes. Contact your local sporting good store, taxidermist, gun shop, bow shop, feed store, etc and ask for a tax deductible donation. Set aside some budget to also provide great prizes. Just an FYI...giving away guns means background checks and FFL transfers. To avoid embarrassment and the hassle we recommend giving away a muzzleloader as it doesn't require a background check or an FFL transfer.
Plan Well: Men have a tendency to miss details. You can't. Plan out the schedule and hold to it, respect the folks that comes time the best you can. Plan to have food prepared and served. For door prizes, have runners take prizes to folks, this process can drag on forever if you don't speed it up. Plan for men to make decisions and follow up to be done. If men come accept Christ make sure proper follow up is done! Don't just say, they stood up, filled out a card, or raised there hand, good enough! Make sure you have there information. (I recommend having a card you do the drawing from with contact info and at the bottom have a response area for follow up afterwards).
Pray: Last but for sure not least! There are so many lost men in your community that need Jesus, many of them love the outdoors. Pray that this event would appeal to them and that they would come and hear about Jesus. That is the end result. Bring men together to be challenged by the truth of the Gospel.
If you have any questions about Wildgame Dinners please don't hesitate to reach out to us!

It has been quite some time since Super Bowl XXIX, where Steve Young (my childhood idle) torched the Chargers… It's been a long road back to greatness, and one that has tested the mettle of the 49er Faithful. This year's 49ers Super Bowl team is as diverse as the wines of the world. So lets take a look at what some of my favorite players on the 49ers have in common with some of the more well know grape varietals:
Justin "Cowboy" Smith – Nebbiolo à Strong in stature and better with age
Niner Nation Headquarters- the Damskey's home in Sonoma
Patrick Willis – Valley Floor Cabernet Sauvignon à A bold and timeless player that solidifies the 49ers Defense.
Navarro Bowman – Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon à A linebacker at 6'2" with structure and continuity on the field
Dashon Goldson – Zinfandel à Packs a Wallop!
Aldon Smith – Syrah à Capable of being complex and distinctive. Pepper, black cherry, tar, and nice tannins.
Randy Moss – Merlot à A sure Hall of Famer, but with a few years of being misunderstood. Brings years of experience to the wide receiver core -a classic Bordeaux varietal.
Michael Crabtree – Moscato à Having a career season. Has the ability pick up yards after the catch.
Vernon Davis – Grenache à Spicy with supple tannins. A team player that has the ability to dazzle when in the spotlight.
Frank Gore – Cabernet Franc à Can be intense and full-bodied. Best when combined with a good air attack like Merlot. Think Cheval-Blanc, where the blend is made up of about 60% Cab Franc and 40% Merlot.
The Offensive Line – Petite Sirah à With firm tannins, this group brings notes of intensity, pepper and ageworthyness to the battle in the trenches. Just like Petite Sirah, you're in for a pop in the mouth with this crew.
Colin Kaepernick – Pjnot Noir à It is a product of its environment and, like Kaep, has a huge array to offer: black cherry, raspberry, spice, roses, tar, earth, cola. At times can sit in the pocket and deliver a huge strike and at other times can break a long run. Pinot Noir can be one of the hardest varietals to evaluate in the barrel, but fortunately for the 49ers, Harbaugh was on it.
Best of luck to the 49ers on Sunday!!!

The almost immediate warmth they bring to a room can make a huge impact on the feel and look too. However, enlisting a material like wood in the climate of Haverhill does require a certain amount of care to help enhance their longevity. The advantage of wood windows is that they can last for years as long as you're doing your part to keep them properly cleaned and maintained. With this small number of tips you'll have a great start on keeping your wood windows around for a while. Cleaning wood surfaces While it's simple to remember to clean the inside of your windows, it's equally as important to clean the outside. After all, that is the side that is most exposed to the elements. Wood surfaces tend to attract dirt, dust and moisture over time. Cleaning the interior and exterior surfaces helps preserve the finish of your windows and helps to protect against deterioration. Maintaining your wood windows can be as simple as wiping down the wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Not only does it remove the dirt and grime build-up, but keeps your windows looking great for a longer period of time. If there is dirt build-up over time, you can utilize warm, soapy water to clean, wiping away any residue with a damp cloth. Where is it? Contingent on the location of your windows, you might realize that there is a difference in wear and cleanliness. You should be able to really see the difference on the exterior, as weather patterns in Haverhill usually come and go in the same direction. Wood finishes Whether you have painted or stained wood windows, there are a number of treatment choices to help make sure that you get the most out of your windows. Using UV protected paint and stain help deter the effects of the sun and are helpful in keeping moisture cornered as well. It is recommended to do any initial treatment to your new or replacement windows within the first month of installation to reap the highest benefit. Wood windows can add so much to the character of your home, and keeping them maintained for their lifespan is doable for many homeowners. If you're wondering what the best cleaning method or finish selection is for your home, feel free to stop by the Pella® showroom in Haverhill and talk with the team at Pella Windows and Doors. There, you'll be able to see a number of options and combinations that can help you determine what works best for your home. Back to Blog

Executive Summary
Although the Penn Engineering website has been improved significantly in recent years, a majority of students still find it to be confusing and difficult to use, which unnecessarily burdens the Penn Engineering advising system and adds to student angst. Thus EDAB strongly recommends a redesign of the Penn Engineering website in the near future with accessibility of information, and website architecture in mind.
The Penn Engineering website now causes trouble for many Penn Engineering students. More specifically, many Penn Engineering students complain about their difficulties using the Penn Engineering website due to its lack of organization and outdated user interface and appearance.
Key Findings
Our surveys indicate that nearly half of all Engineering students are overwhelmed by the Penn Engineering website. Penn Engineering students report wanting to use the Penn Engineering website to access important information quickly and conveniently yet failing to be able to as a result of its byzantine layout. Approximately 40% of Penn Engineering students meet with an advisor to answer a basic question they wish would be answered on the Penn Engineering website. Moreover, 57.1% of Penn Engineering students are unable to find the information they are looking for on the Penn Engineering website even though that information often is on the website.
Redesigning the Penn Engineering website would ease the strain on an overtaxed undergraduate advising system, would save valuable time for Penn Engineering students and faculty, and could help Penn Engineering students by decreasing stress. In addition, many of Penn Engineering's peer schools such as Duke, Columbia, Stanford, and MIT feature modern website designs. Accordingly, EDAB strongly recommends that Penn Engineering redesign the Penn Engineering website in the near future in order to modernize the user interface and rethink the website's organization of information.

Father disputes police version of son's death
BRIDGEPORT — The lawyer for the father of a 15-year-old boy fatally shot by police disputed initial police reports of the incident Friday.
"It appears that the initial factual allegations from the city of Bridgeport and social media were false," said Michael Rosnick, as he stood beside Juan Negron, the father of Jayson Negron, who was killed by Officer James Boulay on May 9. "It appears that the vehicle was not stolen, there was never a police chase and no officer's life was in danger to justify the use of deadly force, on a child, nonetheless."
Rosnick would not comment on whether the father intends to sue the city over his son's death.
"The indignity that occurred to Jayson and his family must be addressed," the attorney said.
Jayson Negron was shot in the chest after, local and state police said, he led city officer on a brief pursuit in a stolen car. The teen's body, with his hands cuffed behind his back, then lay on the street for six hours while police processed the scene.
"As the Bridgeport officers approached, the operator (Negron) of the stolen vehicle accelerated in reverse and struck at least one Bridgeport police officer," state police, who were put in charge of the investigation, said the day after the shooting. "As a result, a second Bridgeport police officer fired at least one round from their duty weapon, striking both the operator and front seat passenger."
State police have since said they will have no more public comment on the case until their investigation is finished.
The passenger, 21-year-old Julian Fyffe, was shot in the arm and back. He told Hearst Connecticut Media that there was no pursuit and that Boulay fired three shots at them through the open driver's door after Negron panicked and hit the gas, sending the car backward.
Although there were earlier reports from family members that Negron had been homeless, Rosnick said the boy's father, who owns a tattoo parlor, had recently gotten full custody of his son.
"Jayson was a joyful, fun-loving 15-year-old boy who enjoyed music and the arts. He lived with his father and attended Bunnell High School in Stratford. Jayson was adored by his family and friends," Rosnick said. "The family is expecting that the rule of law and justice will prevail, that the state of Connecticut will conduct a fair and impartial investigation, that the true facts will come to light and that those responsible for Jayson's death will be held accountable. The family and the community are entitled to the truth."

Entity Framework Core Default Behaviour on Delete
Cascade delete saves a developer time by not needing to write boilerplate code for related data when the parent data in the relationship has been deleted. However in Entity Framework Core it is not the default behaviour. It takes a more conservative view and sets the on delete behaviour to restrict (StackOverflow Question where EF Core Team Member Confirms) which the documentation defines as:
Restrict: The delete operation is not applied to dependent entities. The dependent entities remain unchanged. – EF Core Documentation
Compared with the definition of cascade:
Cascade: Dependent entities are also deleted. – EF Core Documentation
Enabling Cascade Delete Using The Fluent API
If you have created your database using Code First then the fix is simple. When defining your relationships tell EF that you want the delete action to be a cascade one. This needs the use of an additional using Microsoft.Data.Entity.Metadata which contains DeleteBehaviour:

|Service history
The 716th Bombardment Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the 449th Bombardment Wing. It was inactivated at Kincheloe Air Force Base, Michigan on 30 September 1977.
Established as at B-24 Liberator heavy bomber replacement training unit. Converted in September 1943 for operational training; assigned to Second Air Force for training. Deployed to Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTO) in December 1943, squadron taking the South Atlantic Transport Route though the Caribbean and South America; transiting the Atlantic Ocean via Brazil and Dakar, French West Africa, being assigned to Fifteenth Air Force in January 1944 at Grottaglie Airfield in Southern Italy.
Engaged in long-range strategic bombardment of enemy military, industrial and transport targets, including oil refineries and production oilfields in Italy; France; Southern Germany; Austria and the Balkans. Continued strategic bombardment until German capitulation in May 1945. Most of the squadron was demobilized in Europe; small cadre reformed at Sioux Falls Army Airfield, South Dakota in late May, being redesignated as a B-29 Superfortress Very Heavy bomber squadron. Equipped with B-17 Flying Fortresses and new personnel, began training for deployment to Central Pacific Area (CPA) to engaged in strategic bombardment missions over Japan. Japanese capitulation in August canceled plans for re-deployment, after training was reassigned to Grand Island Army Airfield, Nebraska as part of Continental Air Command (Later Strategic Air Command). Inactivated on 4 August 1946 due to funding and equipment shortages, assigned personnel and equipment reassigned to other SAC squadrons.
Reactivated in 1962 when the 4239th Strategic Wing was redesignated as the 449th Bombardment Wing, absorbing the personnel and B-52H Stratofortesses of the 93d Bomb Squadron. Performed strategic bombardment training over a global scale until inactivated in September 1977 with the closure of Kinchloe AFB.

So, I've been hearing about Swagbucks constantly, and have been a bit skeptical and hesitant to join--even though the promise is that you can earn $$ for just searching the Web through their site. I just signed up, so we'll see how it goes. I've already earned 5 Swagbucks. I don't know if that's good or bad, but I'll keep you posted to let you know how it's working for me.
I haven't been into all the after-Thanksgiving sales this year, because our Christmas is going to be pretty simple this year. But, I did take advantage of Old Navy's Black Friday $15 adult jeans, and purchased two pairs for my husband, plus one pair of khaki cargos. The total? $50, with free shipping. AND, I earned 10% cash back through Ebates! Thought that was a pretty good deal!

Smallest Earth-like planet detected
WASHINGTON — Astronomers have discovered what may be the smallest alien planet yet — a rocky ``SuperEarth'' only four times heavier than our home planet.
It's orbiting a small star at a distance that puts it in the so-called ``habitable zone'' — a region neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water and therefore suitable for possible life.
Scientists believe such Earth-like planets are the best hope for detecting evidence of living organisms beyond our solar system.
The tentative finding, which has yet to be confirmed, was reported during the May meeting of the International Astronomical Union in Cambridge, Mass.
The object is one of 45 potential new planets in the Milky Way galaxy recently discovered by the European Southern Observatory's 140-inch telescope perched on a mountaintop at La Silla, Chile.
"The mass of the planets and the sheer number of them represents a huge step towards finding planets of the Earth's mass, and ones that might be suitable for life as we know it," Sara Seager, an astronomer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, said in an e-mail interview. "What amazes me is that these planets may be very, very common."
The European astronomers used the HARPS (High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher) system, which measures tiny wobbles in a star's motion as a planet swings around it.
If the findings are confirmed, the 45 objects would make up the largest single haul of extra-solar planets yet reported. Previously, astronomers have confirmed the existence of 293 so-called ``exoplanets'' orbiting other stars. Most of them have been huge gas giants like Jupiter, plus a handful of Saturn or Neptune-sized objects.
(Jupiter is 318 times more massive than Earth, Saturn 95 times and Neptune 17 times.)
Confirmation of some of the 45 candidate planets is expected at a conference on Super-Earths in Nantes, France, in mid-June, according to Stephane Udry, a member of the HARPS team in Geneva, Switzerland. Others may require another year of observation before their status is clear, Udry said.
"There's no doubt that the majority of them will turn out to be real," Christophe Lovis, an astronomer at the University of Geneva, told the British journal, NewScientist.
The smallest rocky planet previously confirmed is five times more massive than Earth. It was discovered by the HARPS survey in April 2007.
The candidate planets found in the latest survey are 4 to 30 times bigger than Earth. Some of them travel in highly eccentric orbits, ranging very close to their star and very far away, which probably makes life impossible. The smallest planet, however, revolves in a circular orbit in the habitable zone, where liquid water, a necessity for life, is possible.

ACR nominated at the World ATM Congress 2018
In connection with the World ATM Congress in Madrid each year, Jane's ATM Award is awarded to organisations that performed in some way during the year/years. The prize is awarded in 5 different areas:
- Enabling Technology Award - for contributions to enhanced capacity and safety
- Environment Award - to recognise work on 'green' ATM concepts
- Runway Award - for safety and efficiency on the runway and final approach
- Service Provision Award - for contribution to safe and efficient airspace
- Technology Award - reflecting significant contributions by equipment and systems suppliers
This year, ACR has been nominated in the Service Provision Award - for contribution to safe and efficient airspace. See below links
Jane's Awards 2018 at World ATM Congress in Madrid
We are both happy and proud that we are nominated for this group. In our opinion, it is the most important area, ie delivering a safe and efficient air navigation service. It shows that we have focused on the right things. Other nominated companies in the group, FAB CE Aviation Services, NAV CANADA and NUAC have been selected for more technical aspects of the air navigation service, while we, as sole company, have been selected to provide customized airspace and service delivery with high security and efficiency. We all feel proud that the ACR has been nominated. It is our efforts and our message that gives results.
ACR focuses on people in the system, ie customers, employees and managers. The technology is used to support the person, not the opposite.
