Thermal Qualities of Glass
In the last few years the number of options in glass specification has increased exponentially with literally thousands of combinations being possible and yet the basic requirement for heat insulation has remained paramount.
The unit of measurement recognised by the building industry in defining the amount of heat lost through a material or an item used in the building envelope is the U-Value. Measured in W/m2K (Watts per metre squared, Kelvin) the value is indicative of the amount of heat that passes through one m2 of a material or building component in a time unit during a temperature differential of 1 degree Kelvin between the interior and exterior air. It therefore follows that the lower the value the better the thermal insulation of the material / component.
Two different U-Value figures are commonplace within the glazing industry; the Ug, which is the U-Value of the glass itself (or the 'centre-pane' U-Value as its otherwise known) and the Uw value, the overall U-value of the window i.e. glass plus frame.
The Ug, the centre pane value, is a constant figure dependant upon which glass is relates to. The Uw, the overall value, is difficult to define as it relies upon a complex equation that takes into account the amount of glass, the amount of frame, the thickness of frame and the type of gaskets (amongst other factors) to arrive at the end figure. All these factors will be different for each size, shape and configuration of window and of course the resultant U-Value will change accordingly. For this reason the centre pane U-Value is most commonly useed.
The UK Building Regulations splits the U-value requirement for a door and window into two categories; those for a new-build property and those for an extension, alteration or replacement to an existing property.
Extensions, Alterations and Replacements
Doors and windows that are fitted into an existing property are required to be more efficient in preventing the loss of heat than those fitted into new builds. For instance a new extension will be built to comply with the current UK Building Regulations however what of the existing house? There are many properties with no caviities in the walls, no roof insulation and no floor insulation that were built when the Building Regulations were far less stringent. In these properties the regulations state that the doors and windows installed should comply with lower U-values than those fitted into a new build in an attempt to increase the insulation of heat for the property as a whole.
New Builds
A new build dwelling will have been built with heat insulation in mind and all parts of the house will be insulated in compliance with the current Building Regulations. This means that the house in general will achieve a much better standard of insulation than the average existing properrty. The walls, roof and floors will all be well insulated and as such the doors and windows will not need to be quite so well performing to give better overall insulation for the dwelling. Therefore the U-value requirements for doors and windows installed into a new build are not as low as those fitted into an existing property.

Recently the whole RCGroups crew put together a few Inductrix FPV rigs from scratch. The good thing about this for you is that by doing so we learned exactly what you needed for hardcore indoor FPV fun. We were excited to find out that Horizon was releasing a ready-to-run micro quad through the Blade division and with it, I have put together the ultimate Inductrix FPV package for maximum fun!
|Inductrix FPV - Test Flight, Goggles, Battery Charger - Review (11 min 19 sec)
The first ingredient is the unit itself. The Inductrux FPV RTF is a pretty good deal when you do the math of building one of these yourself. The other way to look at it is what would a newbie have to buy, and or learn, to get this going. This has everything in the box you will need to actually fly first person. The quad, the camera, the video transmitter, an LCD screen with built in receiver and the Tx. Things weren't so simple a few years ago!
Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope technology is Horizon's stabilization and protection system that allows you to be a successful FPV pilot. The newly improved Stability mode allows for fast forward flight even with the added weight of the FPV system. It helps prevent over controlling the Inductrix and gives you a confident feeling when maneuvering through tight spaces (watch my video for some of that).
The Inductrix FPV is equipped with a 25mW video transmitter that is perfect for indoor use. The body has a 5.8 video transmitter and camera built in and they are protected by an external shell. This thing also has a nice antenna that you don't have to worry about breaking. The video range of the Inductrix FPV is nearly 100 yards line of sight and more than adequate to fly in any large buildings or homes.
The added weight of the camera requires more power. The FPV version comes equipped with high performance 14,300Kv motors.
The flight control system is tweaked for better control in stability mode and agility mode is now much more controllable as well.
The included 200 mAh battery gives you around 4 minutes of flight time.
The included FPV monitor is a 4.3" Spektrum SPMVM430. I'm pretty picky about how I fly FPV but this monitor by itself does a good job for flying around the house. The monitor is rechargeable via micro USB and has a 1.5hr run time before it needs to recharge. It is capable of receiving on 40 channels and can be clipped on to the MLP4 radio for hands free operation.
We found out real quick that one battery is not enough for real house FPVing. That means you need a real charger for all those packs. One option is the Ultra Micro-4, 4x9W, AC/DC charger.(EFLC1105A) This is a great way to charge all your packs at once, or keep your packs going while your flying. The cost of $54.99 is totally acceptable for this battery solution.
I will admit that the minute you put on FPV goggles you are really in the craft you are flying. You could buy yourself a $399 set of Fat Shark goggles, but if you're not quite ready for those you can go with the $54.99 solution that is made to fit the monitor that comes with the Inductrix FPV RTF.
I have built my own Tiny Whoop and the Blade Inductrix FPV is right there with it in terms of quality and fun. It does have some other advantages as well. Since it's RTF you don't have to figure out which parts you need and where to find them (if they are even in stock). The body protects all the internals and camera. The antenna is made so you don't have to worry about slamming it into things. The RCG team did have a discussion on the upgraded motors. While you can upgrade to even more powerful motors you will pay for it in flight time. I don't think I'm ever going to be a professional micro FPV racer so the included motors are fine.
I was very surprised how quickly I adapted to flying through the monitor. I almost always use goggles but the monitor worked great on my maiden flight through the house. The goggles were a perfect fit for the monitor and so far seem fine. How well it will work for you will be determined by your eyes. The good news is you can use a set of Fatsharks with the Inductrix FPV if you really want to. I will tell you flying it through the Fatshark unit really put you in the cockpit of the tiny quad.
I have a family member that really wants to get into FPV. He might think he needs a $4,000 setup but I'm here to tell you that you will have just as much fun with this tiny quad flying around your house. There are no FAA concerns and you can do it while sitting in your favorite easy chair. Flying with a couple of friends is even more fun. If you are new to FPV I really think this is the place to start and these are the things you need!

I'm with you I got one just to teach friends to fly I got the bnf on the rcg classifieds for a sweet 60 and I'm more than happy with it
I just got a similar setup today. I got the Inductrix BNF with the standalone Spektrum SPMVM430 monitor that bolts to the lanyard hole on my DX9. Been flying it around the house tonight. Lots of fun. I've got the standard Celectra 4 way charger without all the switches, lights and knobs but it does the job nicely. Shorter flights than my Nano QX though.
They had the goggles at the LHS but there were issues with the clip not holding the monitor in place very well... or at all, so I didn't get to try them. I've flown it around the LHS with the FatShark goggles but I don't know if I'll ever get into it enough for those. I like my peripheral vision anyway.
Takes some getting used to. My muscle memory is backwards from many years of first person gaming with an Xbox controller. I'm way better without the monitor, that's for sure but I've made a few circuits around the house without bouncing off the doorways or the TV so that's a start.
Now I need a camera for my cars!
Ultimate racing gate
Thanks for presenting your ultimate setup ! With this, I think you need a Ultimate Turbo Boost Gate
Have Fun & Fly. Over.
I've been flying mine outside. I had it over the house yesterday. The slightest breeze will push these things around but they've got enough power to handle a little wind.
The biggest problem I've found with the Inductrix is if it loses bite in the air, it very rarely recovers until it hits the ground. I'll be flying along and it will just suddenly fall out of the sky, wobbling all the way to the ground at seemingly random times for reasons I cannot explain. No amount of throttle will save it and my other small quads don't do this. Good thing it's tough but it could still be disastrous if I was flying over the house or creek when it decides to make a sudden altitude drop.
The camera doesn't really care to be knocked around and the picture will sometimes go wonky until the channels are cycled through, so don't hit stuff with it. Hitting the ceiling can change the channel on the camera since the button is on top, so don't do that either.
I 3D printed a little box for mine.

My son loves his that he got for Christmas. He bashed and raced it around the house and the little guy took a lot of hits. Frame started to break in several places and we tried a recommend aftermarket frame that turn out to be too heavy unless he then went to upgrade the motors and batteries. End up going back to stock because we have a ton of little 180-220 stick batteries, so just a bit of warning for those, stick with stock and keep the weight down.
Also HH just hooked him up with a new monitor, the antenna is spinning around as it looks to have broken off. Great customer service and can't say enough about them, it is what we have mostly HH products.
Can you fly it all around the house....up stairs and down stairs while keeping in range?

NORCO – Sophomore Kelsey Young came in late in the first quarter for injured teammate Deantre Lewis and ripped off 115 yards to lift Norco to a 31-14 victory over cross town rival Corona at Roosevelt.
The Panthers struck first with a 64 yard touchdown run but the Cougars answered immediately on the very next play with an 80 yard touchdown by Lewis.
But the junior was eventually pulled due to lingering injuries sustained in last week's game.
Young and junior running back Carl Bradford entered the game at the start the second quarter and set the tone for the rest of the game.
On the Cougars' (3-2, 1-1) second drive Bradford scored from 34 yards out.
Following a three-and-out by the Panthers (2-3, 1-2) Young opened up a 14-7 lead with his 72 yard run.
"I thought it was a great team effort we lost our running back, we went to the 10th grader Kelsey Young did a nice job," said Norco coach Todd Gerhart. "We came out and did a nice job running the ball."

Baby Lincoln : Pocatello Idaho newborn photographer
My sister had her sixth, that's right, sixth baby a couple weeks ago. So, I headed to Pocatello for the weekend for his 1st official photoshoot. He was a great sleeper which made it hard to stop taking pictures of him. We just kept sticking in prop after prop because he let us. I've got lots of newborn stuff I've been wanting to try out, so I took advantage of this little one. Thanks for the fun weekend Steph!

Ford Motor Co. F Series pickup vans, launched in 1948, have been among America's favorite rides for many years, and the sequence' hottest, the legendary F-one hundred fifty, has been the very best promoting automobile of any type in the U.S. for greater than a decade. The automotive business accounts for forty five% of the country's manufacturing gross domestic product (GDP), 7.1% of the country's GDP and employs about 19 Million folks each immediately and indirectly. The gasoline engine was initially selected for automobiles as a result of it may operate more flexibly over a variety of speeds, and the ability developed for a given weight engine was cheap; it could be produced by economical mass-production methods; and it used a available, moderately priced fuel.
If you question how severe it is to search out an toddler or small youngster trapped in a automobile or different automobile in the heat, try the facts and figures on the page listed beneath. Although it was the focus of much interest, the automobile all through the nineteenth century was a novelty quite than a logo of status. A sewing machine and bicycle company with a long history going again to the 1860s, in 1897 the corporate established an automobile product line, primarily based after the design of Panhard & Levassor Vehicles. With all of that being stated, one has to recollect and perceive the basic wants of this automobile.
The automobile appeared to not be a passing fancy as over 2 hundred corporations sprang as much as manufacture the equipment that was going to change the face of the American society and financial system. Safety options of automobiles come below two distinct headings: accident avoidance and occupant safety. To help you in deciphering a number of the matching quantity definitions, I actually have supplied a definition to your evaluation to the best.
Garish, chunky and impractical, the heyday of the tail fin was about 1950 to 1962 (although comparable design elaborations existed before and after this time period.) Earl has been credited with bringing them to the forefront in American automobile design. These issues are part of our American historical past, and as such, I'd like to put it on my Hand in Glove With History Facebook web page, and also my blog.
With present-day developments in areas such as autonomous driving, intelligently connected vehicles and electrical mobility, Mercedes-Benz is introducing the way forward for the automobile. If you might be sure you'll become homeless put sources into your automobile to make sure it will likely be reliable once you are using it as each transportation and housing.

Semi-Auto, Perpetual . One page per day, with quotes - Classic Size Only
This is a tweak of the awesome template uploaded by leecop. I made a couple of tweaks. First, it is now a Excel 2007 file. With the newer version, I was able to put all the colors, line styles, fonts, etc into a style sheet or theme. So, when I feel like changing all that, I just have to do it in one place.
Second, I took out the pictures and put in a quote box. This pulls quotes randomly from a sheet I added that has the motivational quotes I like. Add and remove quotes from the master list at will. A great many of these quotes came from the aphorism thread on this site.
Third, pulled it all into one sheet within the workbook, arranged to do 2 up duplex printing.
The one hitch with the quote feature is that it is truly random, so you can get duplicates.
follow leecops instructions in the file itself. But, you only have to print the one sheet.
It would be nice...
...if it worked in OpenOffice. I do not have Excel 2007 and do not plan to buy it.
"I think the surest sign that there is intelligent life out there in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." (Calvin and Hobbes/Bill Waterson)
doesn't it?
I thought open office could handle any of it's parallel microsoft files.
The quote box does not work
"I think the surest sign that there is intelligent life out there in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." (Calvin and Hobbes/Bill Waterson)
you just need to
set the references to the syntax that Open Office uses. Not being an open office user, I'll leave that to those who are. The functions used (INDEX and RANDBETWEEN) are supported.

Recipe Hack: Lower-Sugar Christmas Treats!
One of the things I love about Christmas is the excuse to start baking and keep it up beyond what would otherwise be considered the bounds of reason. Although I love to cook family favorites for the holidays, I also love the excuse to be experimental and somewhat "fussy," making the types of putzy things I never have time for during the rest of the year.
This past week, I experimented with a few new items while looking for some lower-sugar options for diabetic friends and family. I call this a "recipe hack"; cracking the chemistry of cooking to understand what gives a recipe its yum and consistency while also making it work for what you need. In this case, the need was less sugar! Sadly, all this hacking leaves me pressed for time to take and process pictures, but, since I modified existing recipes, please feel free to go admire the pictures on the recipes linked below! This is going to be a quick and dirty explanation, just to give you an idea of how you can play with recipes on your own to work with your guests' needs and preferences.
First up: Savanna cheesecake bars by Paula Deen.
Yes, Paula is usually more known for decadent yumminess more than healthier options, and no, this isn't a health food, but it does have several redeeming qualities over many other holiday baked goods. My version packed the cookie crust with pecans and whole grain flour, I used lower-fat Neufchatel cheese instead of cream cheese in the cheesecake part, and I slathered the completed bars with a homemade fresh cranberry glaze spiced with ginger and cinnamon. We love cheesecake, and I have a thing for fresh cranberries; this one was a big hit in the taste testings in our house.No comments
Let the Christmas Nom-a-Thon Begin!
Like a good chunk of the Midwest, snow dumped on us pretty badly yesterday. We are officially all dug out, however, and now I get to enjoy a day at home straightening up, slurping delicious cocoa, and starting on holiday sweets. I love giving gifts of treats at Christmas, and I'm feeling adventurous this year. Adventurous enough, in fact, that I am going to blog today's kitchen sweatshop extravaganza here. Keep checking back for updates on this post!
For anyone who has missed the writing on the wall, I am an experimental cook. So, in all honesty, my Christmas goodie-fest actually started two days ago when I made mint chocolate "fudge."
I knew full well that messing with fudge was to tempt fate since fudge, like caramels and other types of candy, is a chemistry project first and foremost. For that reason, I attempted to respect the protein, sugar, and fat ratios as much as possible while also trying to replace half the sugar with agave nectar and cutting the overall sweetness of it. I knew full well I wasn't guaranteed fudge, but I figured I'd wind up with something interesting. And I did: a delicious, soft, creamy concoction that could be scooped and keep its shape. I had, I quickly realized, the perfect center for a minty truffle. So today, that's where I started. I scooped the filling into balls and popped them into the freezer for about 15 minutes while I melted dark chocolate over a very low heat on the stove. I then smoothed out the minty bits, rolled them around in the dark chocolate until covered, and popped them onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper to harden.
Quoth the Unicyclist: "A smooth and tasty little minty treat." A flop if you had your heart set on fudge, but a total score as an all-natural, reduced-sugar chocolate truffle.
Since I still have chocolate on the stove, I think I'm going to go right into the predictable-but-delicious world of chocolate-covered pretzels. Then, however, I'm going to get really nutty. Cranberry caramel tarts, rosemary pine nut cookies…who can say? Stay tuned for updates and pictures!No comments
A Thanksgiving Post That Just Barely Involves Food
Thanksgiving came in a rush at our house this year and disappeared just as quickly. We didn't host, so we simply took our made-from-scratch green bean casserole to the family shindig and brought back an empty dish and some full stomachs. The family event was, of course, very tasty. Mom's pumpkin pie with fresh pumpkin, a fruit salad tossed with cheese tortellini, roasted yams, creamy corn, a mountain of mashed potatoes with an ocean of gravy, and almost enough sweets for everyone to have their own personal pie. It was a delicious and dizzying affair. It also brought home the fact that although we've remained snow-free so far here, the season has turned.
As the leaves grow bare and brace themselves under the freezing temperatures of late fall, I tend to shift into a more introspective mood. I make tea, embrace books, listen to the calls of birds swooping southward.
For those of us who live in northern states, migration is a concrete fact of the season, woven into our cognitive and emotional conception of autumn. Geese fly in sharp angles overhead, calling out in their harsh voices, over and over. Huge clusters of sparrows swoop over the now-empty grain fields. Gradually, many animals disappear to warmer climes. However, until my uncle Mike, an avid naturalist, took me to Indiana in 2004, migration was just a single thread running through the fall tapestry, much like the rust-colors of the landscape, the acrid smoke of burning leaves, and the growing chill in the air. Six years ago, he took me to Jasper-Pulaski, Indiana, for the first time, and I caught a glimpse of the phenomenon on a completely new scale. Yesterday, I packed up some gear and brought the Unicyclist with me for a return pilgrimage.No comments
Cookies and Goodies…
I have been popping into the kitchen almost daily to make up some wonderful concoctions for Christmas. So far, I have raspberry bars, oatmeal butter cookies, raw whole foods fudge, chocolate covered peanut butter balls, triple ginger gingersnaps, dark chocolate coconut bark sprinkled with sea salt, spiced candied nuts, caramel corn, and now turtles with homemade caramel. This picture was taken a couple days ago, which means it was after the caramel corn and oatmeal cookies were gifted away and before the turtles and coconut bark had been made. It's been an entertaining affair, as only about half of those have involved recipes.
Our first Christmas guest arrives tomorrow, so I will start laying them out to sample. I'll let you know what the biggest hits are and hopefully give some directions here for you to make some of the highlights in your kitchens! Speaking of which, I still have dreams of a wonderful shortbread. Does anyone have a recipe?

Thanksgiving with Bean Pie–Hold the Turkey
It took a bean pie to get me back here.
It started with the beans themselves–heirloom Christmas beans splashed with maroon and cream. They are the size of giant Lima beans. Broad and flat, with rich, chesnut flavor and creamy texture. These are the beans I wanted.
I soak them, cook them, whir them into a nutty cream with vanilla, eggs, agave nectar, and barley malt, and pour the fragrant mixture into a flaky cream cheese crust. I sprinkle the top liberally with pecans and bake the pie for the better part of an hour.
I wait.
The house smells delicious. And soon, I will be trying a recipe from Native Seeds that I have been wanting to try for literally years.
I just had to wait for the perfect beans. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Things have changed drastically around here, beyond the new job that kept me hopping. The Unicyclist and I moved to Wisconsin in August, a move we had been talking about for more than a year. Southeastern Wisconsin certainly has no shortage of food adventures, however, and now that we are as unpacked as we will be for a while, I'll be posting here again more regularly. Farms and orchards and CSAs and co-ops are plentiful here, not to mention family and community gardens. Plus, we folk like to eat.
In the meantime, Jessica tipped me off to this very fun map of regional recipe searches for Thanksgiving, which illustrates that regional food is not entirely dead…though it is sometimes odd. Why is Nevada devouring mac and cheese and a virtual desert of cheesy carbs, for example? Who can say? Take a peek and let me know, if you did up a Thanksgiving feast for the holiday–what are your must-have staples, and where did you try something new this year?
(I do still promise to give the details on the rest of that Colorado trip…that cholocate is still pretty vivid in my mind. But for now…it's just about lunchtime.)4 comments
Dark Days Challenge Recipe: Sweet and Savory Kabobs
Early this morning, awakened by the dulcet tones of one Mr Hippo singing to the sunrise, I got up, got dressed, and headed to the farmers' market to see what I could scavenge for our Dark Days Challenge meal. The fridge was a little bare, since our CSA pick-up last week was canceled due to the holiday. However, the Unicyclist and I had an inkling of what we wanted: kabobs. Rich and savory kabobs to slather with the leftover muhammara from our Christmas Eve shindig. Last night over dinner, just as we'd decided this, the Unicyclist was struck with a bolt of inspiration.
"What about dessert kabobs?"
Brilliant. And timely. As everyone knows, nothing makes a party like food on a stick, so consider these recipes my belated Christmas gift to you. Both the savory and the sweet kabobs we made would be a wonderful, healthful addition to any New Year's Eve fiestas.
Let's get into it. First: the ingredients.3 comments
I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas
Christmas at our place was rich with stuffed squash, soup, pies, ambrosia, and fresh bread; all the usual suspects.
Unlike past Christmases, however, this one also contained something more out of the ordinary. Specifically, we had ourselves a hippo this Christmas. No, not on the table. In our living room. He's pretty cute, actually. This hippo is likely to eat up quite a bit of my time in the coming weeks, which is why I'm breaking from my usual postings about food and policy to tell you about him. If postings are sparser than usual, I can guarantee you that his skinny shoulders carry a good part of the blame. So, who is this hippo? Well, he's a bit unusual, as hippos go. First, this hippo is not especially fond of water. Second, he's neither as corpulent nor as leathery as you might expect. This hippo—rather, this Hippo—is a tiny, terrified little creature who accidentally found his way into our lives, and who now has a spot in our home.
All evidence thus far suggests that he's okay with that. Here you can see our Hippo exploring the basil in the garden.15 comments

Dark Days Challenge Recipe: Apple and Sweet Potato Bake with Greens
Apparently last week over at Urban Hennery, some murmurings started sneaking in about how many of the Dark Days Challenge recipes people had been submitting seemed…well…complicated. It seems some of the folks taking the challenge for the first time were taken aback by the ambitiousness of multi-course dinners and fancy sauces created by those who have been local fooding and cooking from scratch for a good long while.
I'm sure you all know my stance on that.
I dig fancy-pants meals sometimes. I really do. But simple is also good. Very good. And tasty.
I can do simple.
So, this week, I decided to keep my Dark Days meal extra-simple and use some ingredients that more folks would be able to find without, you know, having to move to the desert. With the exception of the orange, I think I done good. Basically, I am excited that so many people did sign up at Urban Hennery for the challenge, and I hope they keep it going. You know, sometimes you have scrambled eggs for dinner or squash and a salad. That counts, too! And so does this week's project: sweet potato apple bake with a side of wilted winter greens.3 comments
Before You Gobble Your Gobbler: The Real Deal on Turkeys
Thursday is fast-approaching. Welcome to Thanksgiving 2008. Or, as it's also known, Turkey Day. Is it just me, or is that an odd nickname? It makes it sound like of fun, poultry-based activities intended to honor the noble turkey, even though it's more like "The Day All Turkeys Must Die."
Imagine if the same was true of other holidays so named, like Mother's Day and Father's Day.
Yeesh. Okay, extreme, but do you get the aforementioned weirdness now?
If you've not seen the video of Sarah Palin pardoning a turkey for Thanksgiving while others are being slaughtered on camera right behind her, perhaps you should take a gander. While it's rife with irony (and innuendo from the interviewer at times—"programs on the chopping block"?), it does bring up an issue that I want resolved. And no slight on Governor Palin, here. This is far bigger than either this interview or the governor herself.
Can someone, ANYONE, out there please explain the whole "pardoning a turkey for Thanksgiving" thing? I know how it started—that's not my question. I really don't get the rationale. Frankly, making a PR opportunity out of pardoning a specific turkey while encouraging the deaths of countless others seems to smack of a sick sort of humor. It's only because so many birds will wind up on dinner tables for the holiday that marking one to have the chance to die a natural death is remotely noteworthy. This is particularly true when you consider that the president/governor/other public figures in question fully intend to have a turkey at their family dinners, just not that particular one.
"Heh heh heh. Yous guys is all invited over for dinner, if you know what I mean. But hey, I gots a heart, so…you there, with the feathers and the red bobble on your noggin, you gets to go free."
Seriously, wha?

Message From Archangel Michael 01/13/2016
By Christine Snowdon, 01/13/2016
"This year will bring an even greater realization to an even greater amount of people worldwide. As this awareness of their spiritual energies awakens there will come with it more caring and knowledge from the higher realms.
Trust and know that in Earth's reality and timeline exists an Akashic record of all that has been. It is encrusted in crystalline form deep beneath the Earth's crust. Where and why it is there has been revealed to those who follow spiritual and universal releases of knowledge.
Causal effects of the earthly cleansing are becoming widespread knowledge as natural disasters occur on an almost daily basis. Change and transformation will increase that is forecast from the spiritual and angelic realms of energy.
Even though many pass to spirit as chosen by them, yes a truth and fact. More of the humans remaining *on your planet will turn to their spiritual counterparts for answers and change within themselves. Responses will be activated from the higher realms. There will be more truths of the hierarchy of nations that persist in their violence and controlling of others who they consider to be beneath them.
In truth all are equal and Love Is All as is Love of one to another as these positive attributes are brought to the fore they will bring More Love, Light, Peace, Enjoyment and Truth to all mankind in hearts and minds on a soul level. This is hard for the planet en masse to accept. By creating your own futures and manifesting them into reality will be the only way for an individual to move forward from the basis of this Love and respect for one another.
Institutions are breaking down and will continue to break down as the need to reform from the base and up again will occur. I say again as it will need to be repeated again and again throughout the entire world as you know it to bring transformation within organisations, governments and corporate companies. This will in turn remove the greed that has been at the forefront of the institutions in the past.
Lessons will be learned to achieve a better world.

Colombia: ICRC prepares for release of two soldiers held by FARC
24-03-2010 Interview
The ICRC is preparing to facilitate the release of two soldiers currently held by FARC-EP and the handing over of the remains of a police officer who died in captivity. The head of the ICRC delegation in Bogotá, Christophe Beney, explains the role of the ICRC in this humanitarian action.
The ICRC plays a crucial role in protecting and assisting the victims of the armed conflict in Colombia, a conflict that has been going on for over 40 years. Our delegates in the field maintain confidential dialogue with all parties to the conflict, with the aim of promoting humanitarian law and obtaining access to the worst-affected areas. FARC-EP ( Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo , Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People's Army) and the ELN ( Ejército de Liberación Nacional , National Liberation Army) have recognized the ICRC as a neutral intermediary during a number of operations that resulted in the release of hundreds of detainees and hostages. In February 2009, two civilians and four members of the security forces regained their freedom thanks to the action of the ICRC and logistic support from the Brazilian government.
In April 2009, FARC-EP announced that they were going to unilaterally release two soldiers and hand over the remains of a police officer who had died in captivity. Why has the process taken so long?
This type of process often becomes politicized, adding to the complexity of the humanitarian operation. In this particular case, obtaining the agreement of the parties and generating the necessary momentum proved complex. As soon as FARC-EP announced that they were willing to release the soldiers and hand over the body of the major of police, the ICRC started discreet discussions with each of the parties, with the aim of bringing them closer together. In view of the successful operation carried out in 2009, the ICRC also spoke to the Brazilian government, which once again offered logistic support.
What role is the ICRC playing in the current preparations?
When the ICRC learned of FARC-EP's communiqué, the organization announced that it was prepared to offer its good offices as a neutral intermediary and that it would be prepared to coordinate the logistics of the oper ation, in close cooperation with all parties involved. On several occasions, the ICRC met the Colombian High Commissioner for Peace, the Brazilian ambassador, Senator Piedad Córdoba and other members of the Commission of Colombians for Peace, plus representatives of the Church, in order to ensure smooth communication and address the logistics and security aspects of the operation.
As a result of this process, the parties involved decided to sign a security protocol on 12 March. We now hope that in the next few days we will be able to fly Corporal Pablo Emilio Moncayo and Private Josué Daniel Calvo to freedom, and to hand over the body of Major Julián Guevara of the Colombian police to his family, using two Brazilian helicopters bearing the ICRC logo.
Once the ICRC receives more precise details concerning the handover location, we will notify to the ministry of defence an area within which military operations are to be suspended for 36 hours in order to guarantee the security of all concerned and the success of the mission.
FARC-EP has announced that this will be the last unconditional release they will be undertaking, and that the people they still hold will be released under an agreement with the government. What is the ICRC's view on this?
In recent years the Colombian government and FARC-EP have mentioned via various intermediaries the possibility of launching a " humanitarian exchange, " the object of which would be to swap police and military personnel held by FARC-EP for members of FARC-EP held by the government. For various reasons, this " humanitarian exchange " has not yet taken place.
The ICRC reiterates its readiness to help find mechanisms that will bring about the release of those members of the armed forces and the police who are still detained in connection with the ar med conflict.
What else is the ICRC doing in Colombia?
The ICRC has been in Colombia since 1969. Currently, we have 13 offices, 65 expatriate delegates and some 300 Colombian staff. We undertake a range of protection and assistance activities in the rural areas worst affected by the armed conflict, where government services are very limited.
Multidisciplinary ICRC teams regularly operate in some 20 remote areas particularly affected by the conflict, where they endeavour to maintain contact with the security forces and the various armed groups. The purpose of these contacts is to promote compliance with international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
During 2010, the ICRC will continue to help the victims of anti-personnel mines and explosive remnants of war and to offer them rehabilitation services. We will also be working to clarify the fate of people missing in connection with the conflict. The situation of people displaced by the armed conflict and by other forms of violence will remain one of the ICRC's top priorities, and we will continue our programme to help displaced individuals and groups.

In a feature rolled out to members of the Windows Insiders program just before Australia Day, Microsoft released "Game Mode" - a new feature designed to optimise your computer's CPU and GPU usage for video games.
Rolled out in a Windows Insider build earlier this week and due out for general release with the Creators Update this autumn, Xbox Platform partner group program manager Kevin Gammill explained over the phone that Game Mode functions by optimising your systems resources, and in particular the way resources are managed between games and non-gaming applications.
"Right now when the game's in the foreground or has the focus the game is given a certain number of CPU slices," Gammill said. "With Game Mode enabled we will turn that percentage up, and again it will vary on the game and what kind of performance increases we'll see how much we turn those slices up.
"If we turned it up 2% and the game yields up a positive result, but we turn it up 10 more percent and the game doesn't yield any more positive results, we'll want to leave it at 2% and give the rest to the background."
Perhaps the biggest change that Game Mode does is redistribute how the workload of games are distributed across a user's CPU. Users have always been able to implement that on any version of Windows, of course, but setting the affinities for every single process is an utter nightmare especially given how many programs people install over the lifetime of their system.
"What Game Mode does is we affinitise the cores so the game will get 100% of a percentage of the cores, all the time, and we'll put the system resources on the remaining set of cores. And what that yields is a more consistent gameplay, so when you're playing you won't see the spikes in non-game related CPU cycle requests."
Microsoft currently has an internal list of games that works with Game Mode, and Game Mode will be automatically enabled for any game on that list. You can disable it if you want, and it's easy enough to enable Game Mode for any game that isn't automatically supported.
Gammill also confirmed, despite earlier speculation, that Game Mode would support Win32 apps as well as games relying on the Universal Windows Platform (read: ones you buy through the Microsoft Store). That means that you can use Game Mode on games through Steam, Good Old Games, or ones you're playing from a CD or DVD-ROM. But games built on the older Win32 framework wouldn't get quite as much benefit as those built on UWP.
"From UWP we understand the full bounds of the game space; with Win32 we know where the game starts - that's basically the .exe - we really don't know where the game ends. The game could be calling a bunch of system-level services that we at the platform level just don't have insight into. And because we understand those bounds better in UWP space, we'll likely see a slightly higher performance increase in UWP based games than Win32. But again I want to stress, it will work across both Win32 and UWP based games, regardless of where you got those games."
And it's worth remembering that despite all of this, the gains you'll get from Game Mode are incremental anyway. "If you were getting 60fps, with Game Mode turned on you might get 65fps." Gammill stressed that users on lowspec machines would get the greatest benefit in percentage terms, but stressed that it's no magic bullet: Game Mode can only optimise the performance your machine gets, and users shouldn't expect games that were previously unplayable to suddenly become silky smooth.
The Game Mode feature will be live sometime tomorrow for those who have signed up to the Windows Insider program, a beta branch of Windows 10. If you're interested, you can try that out here, which also gets you access to the very neat update Microsoft has planned for MS Paint. For everyone else, Game Mode will ship with the Creators Update of Windows 10, due out this autumn.
Update: While Game Mode was scheduled to be patched into latest Windows Insider build, Microsoft reached out to confirm that it has been delayed slightly. I'm told it should go live tomorrow. The article above has been updated to reflect the delay.

Yostanto, Arlene Maria (2007) A Study of english phonological errors produced by English Department Students of Petra Christian University. Bachelor thesis, Petra Christian University.Full text not available from this repository.
This study is about the English phonological errors produced by English Department students of Petra Christian University (PCU). In this study, the writer interested to analyze the phonological errors made by English Department students of PCU regarding English consonantal sounds that do not exist in Indonesian phonetics system. Hence, the main focus of this study is the six English consonantal sounds that do not exist in Indonesian phonetic system, that is, [v], [], [?], [], [d], and [t]. By conducting this study, the writer is able to find out: first, the kinds of phonological errors done by the students; and second, the patterns of those errors. Moreover, the writer conducts her research using qualitative approach. In collecting the data, the writer firstly records the actual pronunciation of the twenty-five English department students of PCU batch 2003 when they read the pronunciation tasks provided. Then, she transcribes them. Later on, she analyzes the data based on Ladefoged?s and Moeliono?s theories of English and Indonesian consonantal system and also Finch?s theory of phonological rules. Finally, the result shows that the students did produce phonological errors and that there are thirty-four kinds of phonological errors or deviations produced by the students. Additionally, the most troublesome English sound for the students is [3]. The writer also finds out that the deviations occurred most frequently before, after, or in between vowels and that the deviations probably occurred due to the influence of the students? mother tongue and their lack of knowledge about English.

While in KC over Thanksgiving I got a chance to revisit the Bloch building at the Nelson-Atkins fine art museum, this time at night and filled with art. That same night they were hosting a scupture park tour, which is the source of the little bags lighting our way.
The bags highlight something that I hadn't noticed before– the total absence of streetlighting around the building. The diffuse (but bright) glow that the building itself emits is more than enough to see your way around, and has a wonderful effect upon the contained spaces of the sculpture park– it becomes a series of comfortable and familiar outdoor rooms instead of threatening surplus space.
The entire effect of the museum, in fact, is very unimposing. One can (and I did) walk up the grass right to the channel glass, and rap your knuckles or slap your palm across the giant lantern. Kids were rolling down hills next to softly lit Moore bronzes. And then there's the fact that admission is free and one can enter the museum at any exterior door, promoting a kind of indoor-outdoor meandering that seems totally foreign to any previous museum experience. Rounding this all out is the fact that, despite the expected occasional slipshod detail or muffed corner, all of the points of human contact in this building– the handrails, the doors, the floors and paving– has been deeply considered and is a delight to regard and to touch.
I can't express how ecstatic I am that my hometown made the choice to build this building. This is easily the one of the most boundary-pushing new art museums I've seen, and it does it without grandiose scale, formal histrionics or an exceptional collection. This is, despite all appearences, not a magazine or coffee table museum. It is first and foremost a community asset.


text: Double Chooz is Filled and Ready! January 10, 2011 The Double Chooz collaboration recently completed its neutrino detector which will see anti-neutrinos coming from the Chooz nuclear power plant in the French Ardennes. The experiment is now ready to take data in order to measure fundamental neutrino properties with important consequences for particle and astro-particle physics. Neutrinos are electrically neutral elementary particles, three of a kind plus their antiparticles. Though already postulated in 1930 their first experimental observation was made in 1956. Because of their weak interaction with other particles, matter is almost completely transparent to neutrinos and large sensitive detectors are needed to capture them. Neutrino oscillations were a major discovery in the late 90-ies and the corresponding experiments were therefore included in the 2002 Nobel Prize. Oscillations describe in-flight transformations of different neutrino species into each other and the observation of this effect implies that neutrinos do have mass. The oscillations depend on three mixing parameters, of which two are large and have already been measured. The third one is called theta13 and is known to be smaller with an upper limit coming from a previous experiment at Chooz. The new Double Chooz detector is the first of a new generation of reactor neutrino experiments aiming at measuring this fundamental parameter in neutrino physics which is a key area of particle physics research. The results will also have important consequences for the feasibility of future neutrino facilities which aim at even more precise measurements. Double Chooz consists of two identical detectors. The first one at a distance of about 1km from the reactor cores has now been filled with liquid scintillator and is beginning to take data. The measured number of neutrinos compared to the expected flux from the reactors will allow to considerably improve the sensitivity for theta13 already in 2011. The second detector located at a distance of 400 m will start operating in 2012. At this distance no significant transformation into another neutrino species is expected. By comparing the results from both detectors theta13 can be determined with even higher precision. Both detectors use an organic liquid scintillator, which was developed specifically for this experiment. The neutrino target in the core of the detector consists of 10 m3 of Gadolinium doped scintillator which can to tag neutrons from inverse beta decays which are induced by anti-neutrinos emitted by the reactors. The target is surrounded by three layers of other liquids in order to protect against other particles and to dampen environmental radioactivity. These liquids are contained in very thin vessels, to minimize inactive volumes inside the detector. The target is observed by 390 immersed photomultipliers, which convert the interactions into electronic signals. These signals are processed in a data acquisition system which is ready to take data over the next five years. The new detectors will ensure that neutrino physics will stay one the most fruitful areas of particle physics, as it has been for the past 50 years. The Double Chooz collaboration is composed of universities and research institutes in Brazil, England, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, Spain and the US. Drexel University is among the US institutions in Double Chooz, with participation by Drs. Charles Lane and Jelena Maricic, and graduate students Erica Caden and Edward Damon. The Double Chooz effort at Drexel is in the areas of fast front-end electronics, photomultipliers, calibration systems, and data analysis.

" Hi guys, I did my course in visual communication from wlci mumbai and passed out in the year 2012. You know how mumbai is a dream city for people who want to work in the field of animation, graphics and design. That's the main reason I wanted to study and settle in mumbai.
Anyway, so I got admitted into wlci. After having a real experience at the institute, I can say that it's a nice place for animation students. I will give you the reasons. The topmost being the regular workshops that they arrange which are helpful in updating your skills. Second, their traineeship program is also a nice effort towards training students in work-related skills. I can only say that if you are looking for a good job after studying, then wlci's courses are good."
"Hey, let me start by introducing myself, I am Anisha Jain and I passed out from WLCI in the year 2014. I was not sure about joining a professional course because the fee for such programmmes is pretty high, but I also didn't want to study something that would lead me nowhere in the job market. So I got admitted to a course in advertising at mumbai. Now I am working with a known advertising agency in Pune.
Studying at WLCI was a learning experience as far as I am concerned. The industry exposure helped a lot in shaping career goals. The moment I finished my traineeship programme in a startup, I knew that advertising is something I really want to pursue. "
"There are many institutes in the field of design around the country. As I have many friends in different colleges, I can say that many few offer the latest syllabus and training. Some of my friends got placed directly from their institutes, but had problems adjusting to the completely new corporate atmosphere. I won't say that WLCI is the best institute around, but yes I can say that as a student I did not have problem adapting to the working life because we had had many practical training experience where us students worked with professionals from the field.
If you want a good job, then I would suggest you may have a look at WLCI Delhi for your future studies."

Campus Programs Look to Empower Bystanders to Stop Sexual Assault
Colleges and universities across the country are working on implementing a new program focused on bystander intervention in an effort to reduce instances of sexual assault and create a safer college experience for all.
The Green Dot strategy is a prevention model that offers instructor certification at schools and communities nationwide by training bystanders in methods to safely step in and stop an instance of sexual assault in process. The model also works as a framework in the creation of a campus community that does not tolerate such behavior in the first place.
The Pennsylvania State University system is launching one such effort, called the Bystander Intervention Initiative, set to begin in January 2016. President Eric Barron accepted 18 recommendations from the Task Force on Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment last February, including the initiative. A similar program that ran in June had 75 participants while 125 are expected to join the November program.
A presentation at Penn State Behrend went over the three D's of Green Dot, including direct, delegate and distract, to over 1,000 incoming freshmen. The idea was to let these students know their options that allow them to safely intervene in instances that could possibly lead to sexual or relationship violence.
"We thought the program had a great deal of potential and would resonate with students," said Ken Miller, senior director of campus planning and student affairs. "If it prevented one incident of sexual assault or dating violence, then we felt it would be worth the effort to start as soon as possible."
A similar program is ongoing in schools in Missouri in an effort to change social norms on college campuses. Amber Allen, a prevention specialist at the Community Partnership of the Ozarks, said this can be accomplished through training, which offers multiple options to bystanders that would allow them to step in in a variety of scenarios. Allen gave one example of a drink being purposely spilled to divert attention, or to ask a friend to come to the bathroom with you to pull them away from the situation, writes Claudette Riley for The Springfield News-Leader.
She said that in some instances the safest option may be to inform a trusted adult or law enforcement agent.
According to Allen, Green Dot got its name from a map where red dots are used to indicate where instances of "power-based personal violence," such as bullying, child abuse, domestic abuse, and sexual assault have taken place. Meanwhile, green dots show where bystanders have stepped in to help put a stop to these acts.

Colorado/New York, Genre, Landscape, Lithography, Mural
Edward Chavez was born in Wagonmound, New Mexico. He worked through the depression as one of the most successful WPA muralists, then for the U.S. Army painting murals in mess halls during off duty hours, finally becoming one of many artists to call Woodstock, New York home in the years after World War II. He studied at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center with Boardman Robinson, Frank Mechau and Peppino Mangravite. In 1951 Chavez won a Fulbright Grant allowing him and his wife, artist Jenne Magafan, to paint in Italy for the year. Through the fifties and sixties Chavez remained on the cutting edge of the art scene until the op-art movement redirected popular opinion.
He taught at the Arts Students League of New York and was visiting Professor of Art at Colorado College and Assistant Professor of Art at Syracuse University. Chavez's work is in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress Print Collection, Museum of Modern Art, Hirshorn Collection, Detroit Museum of Art and private collections.
Awards: Tiffany Award, 1948; Fulbright Scholarship for Italy, 1951; Childe Hassam Purchase Award, 1953. Murals: Glenwood Springs, Colorado Post Office under Frank Mechau with Jenne Magafan; West High School, Denver, Colorado; Recife, Brazil.

The project has included the full refurbishment of the existing Grade II* listed four storey double-fronted Georgian town house, with the removal of internal floors and walls to create more open fluid living spaces. The existing half basement and garden walls were underpinned to create new accommodation at the lower levels and extensive terraced gardens to the rear. A two storey library and kitchen extension has also been added to the rear of the property.
The extension is formed from slender steel sections at ground floor. Glulam timber portal frames were used to form the roof and library shelving.
These glulam elements work in combination with the steel frame to provide lateral stability to the upper storeys as well as reducing the effective length of the cantilevering library balcony floors, therefore allowing for a super-slim structural depth.
A new steel staircase structure extends down from the library to the dining room and open plan kitchen. The staircase has been fabricated form welded box section stringers which follow the stepped profile of the stairs to reduce structural depth.

A file extension is an addition to a computer file name. It is appended to the file base name following a dot "." and is mandatory on Windows systems. The SDR file extension illustrates a shortfall in the administration of file extensions. There is no international body ensuring the uniqueness of file extension as there is for Web and Internet addresses. Consequently, different file types may use the same file extension. As of March 2011, there are five different applications using the SDR file extension.
Dell computers shipped with Windows Server 2003 already installed have a dell.SDR file in the C:\ root directory. This file is a marker indicating the Windows Server 2003 software was factory-installed. It is not an important file and can be deleted or renamed.
SmartDraw is a graphics package. The program is produced by a company of the same name. It enables users to produce a wide variety of drawings, including charts and floor plans. The company stresses the program's features for creating presentations, guided by templates and wizards. They describe SmartDraw as a visual processor, offering the graphics equivalent of a word processor. The default file extension for a drawing created in and saved by SmartDraw is SDR.
Sounder is a Windows-based music creation program. The program creates ambient music based on the movement of shapes represented as animation in the user interface. A Sounder-saved music file has the SDR file extension.
Sound card drivers for QuickView Pro use the SDR file extension. QuickView Pro was created by Multimediaware. It is a DOS-based multimedia viewer for playing video or music files. The viewer can process files formatted as DivX, AVI, MPEG, MOV or MP3.
Smart Diary Suite
Programming Sunrise produces a diary program called Smart Diary Suite. It is a system to note down appointments and anniversaries. Smart Diary Suite also has a writing section where users can record their thoughts or events of the day. Another section allows those notes to be recorded and stored as sound files. In Smart Diary Suite, reminders are saved in files with the SDR file extension.

During our Soul Sisters Getaway we worked on lots of fun projects like Tassel Necklaces, Funky Frames and Clipboards, and Cookie Decorating 101 along with the ever-popular activities of wine-drinking, junk food eating, and shopping. It's tough being a girl!
Joy planned our final project, Scarves inspired by Alabama Chanin's book, Alabama Studio Style. This book emphasizes sustainable, wearable art made from recycled and organic materials.
Leafing through this book and Joy's materials inspired us all. Using t-shirts, scissors and embroidery thread we each created a great scarf using reverse applique method like the Layered Tee Tutorial I once blogged.
Old, large-sized t-shirts in assorted colors (Hubby's extra large is perfect)
Embroidery thread and needles
We began by cutting our t-shirts through the front and back, like this, leaving the shoulder seam intact:
We cut two t-shirts (two different colors) the same way, then layered them together, shoulder seams facing in.
Using embroidery thread, we sewed the two layers together using a basting stitch around the outside edge until it looked like a crazy, one-armed, drunk seamstress had gotten a hold of it:
Using chalk, we drew a simple pattern onto the top layer of our material. You can use a stencil or freehand this. Personally, I feel like this step was enhanced by wine and cheesecake...but maybe that's just me.
Then we stitched, stitched, stitched! Stitch around the pattern using large stitches in a contrasting embroidery thread then cut out the center of the top layer, revealing the layer of fabric underneath. I swear every time we cut out those shapes it was a a big TA-DA!!!
You can use your imagination when it comes to stitches, patterns, colors...Go crazy, girl!
Come on, this is cool!
Get to work raiding your Hubby's closet, I feel a Christmas gift coming on!
Come on back tomorrow to link up with Tutorial Tuesday. It will be your turn to Teach Me Stuff!
