Below is a roundup of tech news from or about Sub-Saharan Africa for the period 10–23 March 2011
Africa's ability to handle GM organisms questioned
Namanga Ngongi, president of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), has advised African countries to tread carefully with regards to genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Speaking in Dar es Salaam — together with Tesfai Tecle, a special advisor to former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan — Ngongi said that GMOs are difficult to regulate, and that only Egypt and South Africa have the potential to handle their cultivation and consumption.

Tanzania and Zambia to get solar-powered ICT hubs
Tanzania and Zambia will become the latest Sub-Saharan African countries to benefit from a scheme that works with local entrepreneurs to provide solar-powered information and communications technology (ICT) service centres. NICE International, a social venture based in the Netherlands, started in 2006 with two pilot centres in the Gambia. This was followed by five more centres in 2009 and 2010. "We used the first two years to get the technology right," said Ties Kroezen, NICE's managing director. In the next four years, NICE hope to have 50 new centres in the three countries.More>>
South African astronomers to put old satellite dishes to use
Astronomers in South Africa plan to convert old telecommunications dishes into radio telescopes to create a low-cost array for the continent. Justin Jonas — an associate director in the project office for the proposed Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope that South Africa is competing with Australia to host — said that even just a third of the roughly 20 discarded satellite dishes, no longer needed following the installation of fibre-optic cables, could make "a substantial and important array". "Why wait for SKA?" he told Science. "Why not see what we can do now?" More>>
Landslide fears for Uganda's Mount Elgon region
A 40-kilometre crack in the slopes of Mount Elgon in Uganda may turn into another disastrous landslide according to the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA). About 8,000 people live close to the area. "We have seen cracks [on the land] and at some points they are 1.5 metres deep. Once heavy rains pound these places, then debris flow is inevitable and disaster will definitely occur," said Mount Elgon conservation officer, Richard Matanda. More>>
Energy from waste for Kenya's Kibera slums
A communal cooker that turns waste into energy has been developed by community-based organisation Ushrika Wa Safi. "When we started the [organisation], the idea was to start a project that could help keep the environment clean. We therefore began by constructing trenches where people could pour dirty water. Further, we divided Laini Saba [one of 13 villages that form the Kibera slums] into four zones and each zone would meet once a week to collect and burn garbage," said project manager Bernand Asanya. Residents say that the cooker has changed their lives. More>>
Number of Rwandan mobile phone subscribers rising
The number of mobile phone subscribers in Rwanda has increased by 1.2 million in the last year. In the country, which has the second-lowest mobile phone penetration in the East African Community, "there have been aggressive and innovative promotions — which reduced calling tariffs and attracted more users on different networks," said Regis Gatarayiha, director-general of the Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Agency. He added that Rwanda is expected to have six million subscribers by 2015. More>>
Kenya watching Japan to glean nuclear lessons
The executive chairman of Kenya's Nuclear Electricity Development Project Committee, Ochilo Ayacko, has said that the country will be watching the Fukushima nuclear power plant crisis in Japan carefully for useful lessons to guide its own nuclear plans. "We hope to stay on course but the ongoing international debate and discourse will inform our decisions on issues like selection of location as well as safety and security requirements," he said. Kenya expects to have its first 1,000 megawatt nuclear plant between 2020 and 2022. More>>
African researchers participate in 'climate protection' programme
Scientists from Ethiopia, Kenya and Nigeria are carrying out research into the protection of society from the effects of climate change. They were granted a one-year fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany, which supports climate protection researchers from non-European and developing countries through its International Climate Protection Fellowship Programme, launched last year. The projects include fast, reliable tests to identify highly toxic chemicals in water, fish and sediments; land utilisation in a dry region on the Ethiopia–Sudan border; and an early-warning system for infectious disease outbreaks.

Numbers 14:8-11 New International Version (NIV)
8 If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them."
10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the Lord appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites. 11 The Lord said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the signs I have performed among them?

Dembele: Griezmann to Barcelona would be 'exceptional'
Antoine Griezmann would help improve Barcelona , according to Ousmane Dembele, who labelled the proposed move as "exceptional".
Atletico Madrid star Griezmann has been heavily linked with La Liga champions Barcelona amid his reported €100 million (£87m/$117m) release clause.
The 27-year-old France international, who helped Atletico to Europa League glory this season , revealed he will decide his future before the World Cup in Russia .
Editors' Picks
Barca winger and international team-mate Dembele said he is excited by Griezmann's potential arrival.
"We haven't talked much about this [transfer] with Antoine," Dembele said. "If Antoine comes to Barca, it would be something exceptional.
"He's a great player, a great striker, I think he'll help us be better."
Griezmann – gearing up for the World Cup where France will meet Australia, Peru and Denmark in Group C – scored 29 goals for Atletico in 2017-18.
Dembele, meanwhile, endured a difficult first season at Camp Nou following his big-money arrival from Borussia Dortmund.
Hampered by injury issues, Dembele scored three goals and tallied six assists as Barca won La Liga.
Reflecting on his maiden campaign, the 21-year-old said: "A first season with many injuries. It's a tough season. I've had a lot of injuries. I had to learn a lot. Despite everything, I still have confidence. The group, the team and the president trust me. We will see what happens in the coming seasons.
"I've made progress in the tactical aspect. But also in defence. I defend much more in Barcelona. Even if we have the ball a lot. It's important not to lose a ball. It's rare for the team to lose the ball. You have to be careful. I have to defend a lot because we are all united."

Eight Forty-Eight
NPR's Rovner answers questions about Supreme Court ruling on Obama health plan
I know it's hard to imagine in 2012, but there was a time when health care was not a partisan issue. NPR correspondent Julie Rovner, who joins Eight Forty-Eight on Tuesday, said the health beat used to be "a backwater" when she got started in the 1980s. Issues like how to pay doctors and the government's role in insuring Americans weren't subjects in electoral politics.
That is, until an upstart candidate running in a special election to replace the late Sen. John Heinz of Pennsylvania asked: "Prisoners receive free medical care. Shouldn't Pennsylvanians and all Americans expect the same thing?"
The question persuaded enough Pennsylvanians to make Democrat Harris Wofford the victor over former governor Dick Thornburgh in 1991. It also inspired the Clinton administration's notorious attempt to reform health care a few years later. "Hillary's plan solidified health care as a polarizing issue," Rovner said.
The issues were the same then as now: millions of uninsured, pre-existing conditions are a barrier to coverage, the rising cost of care. "[Clinton's] plan wasn't all that different than Obama's but it had a stronger element of cost control. It had more government involvement," she said.
Now, almost 20 years later, the first federal law passed to address those issues is in the hands of the Supreme Court. Later this month, the justices are expected to weigh in on the constitutionality of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act.
While the court's decision is anybody's guess, it's certain that if the insurance mandate gets struck down, it will cause headaches for all involved. While Republican critics in state government and in Congress pan the mandate, many privately admit that it could be political suicide to do away with popular aspects of the bill, like the requirement to cover children under the age of 26 whose parents are insured, or pre-existing conditions.
To make matters even more complicated, the Obama administration supports doing away with the pre-existing conditions provision in the absence of the mandate because of concerns about cost.
What's at stake for you? Share your story or ask NPR health policy correspondent Julie Rovner a question by calling 312.923.9239.

Japanese Gardens Meetup – experimental photography
I had checked the forecast a day or two before and noticed a moderate chance of showers. My decision was to use only the K-5 and DA* 55mm f1.4 lens. We ended up having some light showers once or twice while at the garden, so that decision worked out. I just kept using the camera as normal without any issues while the rain was coming down. The nice thing about … Continue reading

Camera Review: Pentax K-5
Quick access links: History Personal appeal. Body design and control. Issues. Considering a switch to Pentax? K-5 ISO Examples. Conclusion. Technical Specifications. History: While the K-7 was being developed in between the Hoya acquisition, the K-5 was a full Hoya/Pentax product. It is unclear whether Hoya put any input in on the K-5, but the results probably speak for themselves. The K-5 is a revisionary upgrade with focused improvements on … Continue reading
Pentax getting in on Cyber Monday deals.
http://www.1001noisycameras.com/2011/11/black-friday-camera-specials-situation-room.html Noisy Cameras is quite a resource for news and other tidbits of information in the camera world. I noticed on their site along with places like pentaxforums.com that the Pentax K-5 will be going on sale today. While I'm not in the market for new gear, I do usually follow pricing on the equipment I use so I know when something is a good deal or not. Under the … Continue reading
Equivalence: FA* 85mm f1.4 with DA* 55mm f1.4 + Teleconverter
Quite the title, eh? It's well known that the DA* 55mm f1.4 SDM lens is the successor to the FA* 85mm f1.4 lens. The difference is that the DA* 55mm lens is designed to take the crop factor into account to give the user an equivalent of 85mm on all current Pentax cameras. So I was thinking today, why not compare the two lenses, but instead of a direct comparison, … Continue reading

The K-5 is back (Cat photos)
As I mentioned in my previous post, the K-5 was returned from service. For my initial test I took some macro photos and also too a few photos of two cats. The conditions in this case were dark with tungsten lights, so ISO was pretty high at 2000-3200. It's funny how quickly I start taxing the K-5 in situations I usually wouldn't bother trying with the K-7. The gray one … Continue reading
The K-5 is back (More macro photos)
The Pentax K-5 camera body was returned from being serviced at C.R.I.S. on the 14th. This time it only took them about a week instead of 2 months, which was much more manageable. So far the camera seems 100% functional. I'll be trying to test it as much as possible for a few weeks to make sure though. Here are a few more macro photos, this time with the K-5 … Continue reading
What to expect from Pentax in a few months?
Fall is usually a time for new camera announcements. Just recently Pentax France showed a promo PDF that hinted at a new camera body besides the Q and 645D. They have since modified the PDF and removed the hint, but it's interesting at least. If you frequent PentaxForums.com, you will know a debate on Pentax Full-frame comes up every so often. As I'm a person who feels I could benefit … Continue reading

The Holy Father goes to Assisi to mark the 800th Anniversary of St Francis
I love Zefferelli's Brother Son and Sister Moon, I know it oozes flared trousers and cheese cloth shirts, those are my roots. It is still a beautiful film, I get a lump in my throat at the conversions and acts of heroism.
The first clip is his Conversion
Francis renounces the world
In the last clip one of Francis' disciples tells Otto of Brunswick to throw his jewels in the river, I love the muic
Alas, I couldn't find my favourite scene, when at the end of the film Frncis goes to see the Pope who descends from his throne to embrace Francis. There is lots of pomp and a rather splendid rendering the "Victimae". Earlier in the film there is a rather touching scene where one of Francis' followers returns to the world unable to cope with rigours of "Sister Chastity".

I love Brother Sun, Sister Moon as well. I recommend Francis: God's Jester. It's an amazing 1950s adaptation starring a cast of Franciscans playing the roles of St Francis, St Leo etc. Majestic - was really impressed when it came free with The Independent!

Enable Alexandria to become self-reliant in flood resilience
AFMA strategy
To create awareness about flood resilience and to sustain adaptive behaviour among Alexandrians AFMA will train
200 staff members at professional and academic level for Anticipatory Flood Management;
500 (mostly female) water ambassadors;
and via train- the- trainer approaches, supported by e-learning:
Over 1 million citizens,
400.000 vulnerable people,
100.000 local professionals and businesses,
500 students/researchers (academic level).
AFMA adopts a multi-pronged strategy to make Alexandria self-reliant in flood resilience. AFMA aims at reducing both the probability and impact of flood risk in a sustainable manner.
What is the AFMA strategy?
- Creating an information system based on rainfall forecasting
- Assess mitigation action based on rainfall and flood forecast
- Construction and operation of early waring hardware and infrastructure
- Building capacities at various levels
- Academic level – primary, secondary, tertiary levels
- Government level – legislative and executive
- Societal level
Key outcomes and outputs of AFMA
- Assessment of flood risk in Alexandria and local flood risk mapping: From no flood risk information towards 90% flood risk mapping accuracy compared with state-of-the-art.
- Capacity build with Egyptian partners for flood (modelling) prediction and preparedness.
- Flood model in operation for generation of flood risk maps
- Comprehensive flood study of the Alexandria Region
- Outcome: 25% Flood probability reduction during rainfall which 10% heavier than in the October 2015 Flood.
- Establishment of Flood Management Unit (Staff, Equipment) at HCWW
- Integrated Anticipatory Flood Management programme comprising:
- in the flood zone: (vertical) evacuation of people, protecting critical infrastructure and buildings using perimeter and building aperture technologies (demountable barriers, temporary flood gates, door guards, etc.), removing valuable assets (e.g. cars), cleaning drainage system
- outside the flood zone: smart rainwater harvesting/storage technologies (household/building and neighborhood level), cleaning drainage system
- in the peri-urban zone: enhance storage capacity wetlands/lakes (lowering water levels using pumps, improve irrigation/drainage infrastructure).
- (A) Increased flood resilience in Alexandria through the implementation of an Early Warning System (EWS) for dealing with 'extreme rainfall events' emergencies, in advance of their occurrence; and
(B) Increased self-reliance for urban poor in Alexandria in flood scenarios.
- Realisation of Early Warning System (the Delft-FEWS-system)
- Participatory Flood Resilience Plan, with focus on vertical evacuation
- Awareness creation on flood risk realized among community, incl. the development of an E-learning platform
- Integrated Water Management Plan for Alexandria finalized and incorporated in relevant policy documents
- Curriculum development on Flood Management at Alexandria University
- Sustainable Anticipatory Flood Management System leading to 25% reduction of flood probability and 80% reduction of flood impacts in Alexandria and serving as a catalyst for upscaling.
- Assessment report of the FIETS sustainability of the AFMA System
- Identification of 15 areas for potential upscaling of the AFMA system and upscaling commenced at 5 other cities.

ISLAMABAD: Renewed clashes overnight at a Pak-Afghan border crossing killed an Afghan border guard and wounded five, an Afghan official said Wednesday, as Islamabad dispatched more troops to the volatile boundary amid an escalation between the two neighbors.
Pakistan and Afghanistan have traded blame for the latest violence while calling for a peaceful resolution. However, intermittent shooting continued throughout the day Wednesday, according to two Pakistani officials.
The Afghan guard is the third fatality since Sunday night, when clashes erupted at the Torkham border crossing over the construction of a gate by Pakistan on disputed territory. Over two dozen border guards from both sides have been wounded so far.
Afghan border police official Jamal Khan said the guard was killed late Tuesday. Another Afghan guard was killed the first night of the violence and a Pakistani officer wounded in the border clashes died on Tuesday.
Attaullah Khogyani, a spokesman for the governor in Afghanistan's Nangarhar province, which lies along the border, called on Pakistan to stop shooting toward the Afghan side, adding that fighting "is not the solution."
In Pakistan, the two security officials who confirmed the latest exchanges said there was some damage on the Pakistani side. They did not elaborate and they spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
The Torkham crossing remained closed Wednesday.
Intelligence and defense officials briefed Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on the situation Wednesday. The meeting was attended by Afghanistan's Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah and speakers of the upper and lower houses of parliament, a statement issued by Ghani's office said. The statement called for a "diplomatic solution" while expressing support for the security forces.
Afghanistan does not recognize the present boundary, the so-called Durand Line, as an international border, and has denounced Pakistan's plans to erect a fence at the crossing. Pakistan's army says it is constructing a gate on its own side of the border as a necessary measure to check for unwanted and illegal movement.
Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhary summoned the Afghan ambassador to lodge a protest, demanding Kabul take immediate steps to end the "unprovoked firing," a statement said.
Pakistani army spokesman Lt. Gen. Asim Bajwa told reporters that efforts were underway on the political, diplomatic and military level to halt the escalation, saying "it will get resolved."
He said Pakistan has seen incursions by militants from across the Torkham border lately, which prompted authorities to implement more effective border control. He said he didn't know why the Afghan side initiated fire after Pakistan started construction work on its territory but Pakistani troops "effectively responded" after coming under attack.
Last month, the Torkham crossing was closed over a similar incident and reopened following a meeting between Pakistan's army chief Gen. Raheel Sharif and Afghan Ambassador Omar Zakhilwal. – AP

I came across and new challenge blog that I am very excited to try! The theme is Christmas ALL YEAR ROUND! It is the Merry Monday #37. I feel like I really need some help with Chritmas Card designs and I am sure this will help!
I love the new Frosty Friends stamp from Stampin' Up! I framed it using the Label Framelits. I stamped the sentiment from Sassy Salutations on Vellum. I liked how this diddn't break up the view of the DSP but made it possible to use this larger sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!

offering insight in community building and user interface/design with lots of cheering
Jean Russell is dedicated to shifting our collective awareness from sustainability (where we seek to eliminate social, financial, and environmental harm) to thrivability (where we contribute meaningfully and consistently to a deep cultivation of natural, financial, and social systems) provides a rallying point for those interested in systemic change. She launched thrivable.org, a think tank encompassing a wide network of visionaries, thought leaders, change agents, and entrepreneurs. In March 2010, she launched an ebook on thrivability, written by over 50 authors reflecting on elements of thrivability.
Creating and nurturing conversations, Jean opens opportunities for transformation. Her generous spirit, coupled with her coaching approach, earned her the name "NurtureGirl." Her coaching and facilitation approach focuses on the flow of communication and an empathic sense of interpersonal dynamics. Jean leads strategy retreats and social benefit conferences, collaborating with colleagues in fields ranging from social media/networks to philanthropy, currencies, green/sustainable design, community development, and human rights. Jean has coached social entrepreneurs and change agents on four continents.
I am most excited about how wagn is smarter than wikis. And that is important because we need smarter databases and collaborative tools to shape and share a more thrivable world.
Passionate about thrivability. See Thrivable.org and Thrivable.net.

About Us
We've been interested in personal development for as long as we can remember and knew there had to be a better way to consume life-changing content on the go. After receiving permission from some of the most popular blogs, we created the Optimal Living Daily podcast to narrate personal development & minimalism articles. Its success led us to create four more shows covering a variety of topics, and all 5 have received over 50 million downloads combined.Read More
Love from Our Listeners
"Optimal Living Finance is my fave podcast right now. I listen to it daily on my walks, and now have an action plan to start investing in a managed fund by Dec 2018. Thank you, it is life changing."
Agnes Aldana
"I've been listening to OHD/OLD podcasts for a while. It has become part of my daily routine – every evening, right before I step outside to walk my dog, I reach for my phone, and the podcasts go on. Walking my dog while listening to OHD/OLD has become one of my favorite ways to unwind! (I might be one of your older listeners – I just turned 63 a couple of days ago – but I definitely still am actively trying to live my optimal life in optimal health!) Love the podcasts. I learn something new from almost every one of them"
Fran Finney
"Hi Justin. I just wanted to let you know that all of the OLD podcasts are on my list of things that I am thankful for this year. They have made a positive change in my life this year. I was getting ready for Thanksgiving thinking about things I am thankful for and I thought of you and your shows. Thank you very much for the time and energy you put int them. Thank you to Lee and all the other hosts. May your holidays be happy."

San Diego's laid--back sport will go on to celebrate its 60th anniversary
It's still happening!
The 60th annual World Championship Over The Line Tournament is expected to go on as planned this weekend (and next) even after a lawsuit threatened to stop the party.
That's good news for the more than 50,000 fans and players who flock to Fiesta Island each year, as nothing quite captures the spirit of our laid-back beach city like Over The Line.
60th annual World Championship Over The Line Tournament
When: 7:30 a.m. to dusk Saturday and Sunday, and July 20 and 21
Where: Fiesta Island, Mission Bay
Tickets: Free
Online: ombac.org
OTL, as the locals call it, is part party, part sporting event. It was invented on South Mission Beach as a way to pass time while waiting for available beach volleyball courts.
Though the two-weekend affair is known for its naughty team names and excessive alcohol consumption, it's also where longtime San Diegans gather to share stories and enjoy the sunshine.
The first weekend is traditionally the rowdiest because all registered teams can play (this is the time to come if you like crowds, bikinis and beer). Traditionalists prefer the second weekend, which is when the championship rounds are held.
Parking is extremely limited on Fiesta Island and the "Sunrunner" area on the northeast corner of Sea World Drive and Pacific Highway. Buses will run from the Morena/Linda Vista trolley station.

Our High 10 Favorite Educational Gifts For ToddlersPosted on
As quickly as your child learns to face, a toddler trip on toy is one of the best toy to help them with steadiness, learning to take steps and developing these gross motor skills necessary to stroll. Diversion techniques, taking consideration away from the toddler, can be utilized when the toddler finds an curiosity in one thing that's probably dangerous and the mother or father shows them one thing else that is safer and more fun to play with or do (i.e. toddler is involved within the hot radiator but the mother or father exhibits the toddler a enjoyable toy that makes noise).
That independence can often imply hassle (assume tantrums ), however it is usually the very best time to teach the toddler about virtually something. They provide plenty of printable pages and ideas for each crafts and video games away from the computer. The key for fogeys right here is to say the word the toddler wants and ask Would you like the ______?" whereas also touching the item. I do attempt to embrace my toddler in what we're doing as a lot as they're willing to take part. They might play whereas we read or did work, but they needed to keep in the identical room with us. I put 1 bin of toys on the carpet & informed them they were not allowed to get off the carpet while we read. The smile could have disappeared and the eyes might have widened rapidly as a result of you've got frightened your toddler. Till this occurs, your assistance will make the games more meaningful and pleasing in your youngster.
If you understand of different free and open-source instructional software for kids that we fail to include on the checklist above, you could share them with us through … Read more

I feel as if there are about to be lots of celebrations in the next few weeks! What with Valentines day just around the corner and family birthdays coming up too, my mind is very much on writing cards and choosing gifts at the moment!
We royally kick started the partying last night as Eddy and I hosted a tea for one of our dear friends whose birthday is also at the weekend.
It was a really nice evening of just being able to relax with good people around us and it really helped me take my mind off my own current situation. (Officially overdue people!) Haha!
In fact it was just a really lovely evening in its own right with some of our best friends and I know Eddy and I both felt really relaxed and chilled at the end of the evening, a feeling we could really use a bit more of lately!
Simple, wholesome fun with a few bottles of Vino thrown in is always the best way friends...

Snow season has arrived Vancouver that it is time for people to pay attention to road conditions when they are going out, especially to those major routes. The Vancouver Sun has then created an interactive map for Metro Vancouver snow report.
In the interactive map, users can mouse click an icon for further information (locations, road condition, comments, and reported time), or enter address to zoom to the neighbourhood for checking the road conditions.
This map is still updating by collecting updates from citizens that map users can report the location of traffic jams, notoriously slippery slopes and other commuter commotions by filling the form here. The map will be active all through the winter season that please keep an eye on it for any updated status.
Source: The Vancouver Sun
Map Reviews: 3.5/5 Stars
Simple and user-friendly maps with following features:
- popup infobox with details
- can search area by entering address
- various road conditions are indicated in various icon colors
- map legend is provided for indicating different icons
Though, there is still a suggestion for this map – enable crowdsourcing function, which allows map users immediately adding icons with information and photos/external links to the map by themselves. This function can encourage people providing information to enrich the map content as they can instantly see their imported data on the map. Furthermore, it reduces time for map administrator to manually add the pin one by one, and they can easily mass manage the imported pins in the admin panel.

More details on the record cold and snowy February for Northern & Eastern Maine, updated 3/7
Across New England there were some other impressive monthly temperature records. Portland, Maine observed its coldest February on record, and the 2nd coldest month of all-time. Boston, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island each had their 2nd coldest February and 2nd coldest month of all time. Hartford, Connecticut had its coldest month ever on record. Below is a map (Fig. 1) of the departure from normal temperatures (F) during the month of February from the Northeast Regional Climate Center. Fifteen of the 35 airport climate sites had a record cold February (Fig.2)
In addition to the cold, many areas, especially coastal New England had record snowfall, with totals up to 4 ½ feet above normal (Fig.3). Seventeen of the 35 airport climate sites had a top 10 snowy February. Two sites (Boston and Worcester) had their all-time snowiest month on record.
The remainder of this article hopes to explore the upper air and surface weather patterns that produced the persistent cold weather across all of the Northeast U.S., and the snowy weather that was observed across much of coastal New England. In order to do this, a reanalysis of upper air and surface patterns was examined using NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory's reanalysis tool. In the near future, plans are to examine in more depth the causes of this pattern with an examination of several climate indices.
First, we will examine the composite mean 500 millibar geopotential heights across the northern Hemisphere during the month of February (Fig.7). One will note the persistence of the low 500 millibar heights across central Siberia, northern Canada, and into the Great Lakes and Northeast U.S. If one takes a closer look at the 500 millibar composite anomalies (1981-2010 climatology) (Fig.8) negative anomalies on the order of 90 to 120 millibars are noted across the northeast U.S. including all of New England. At the same time, strong positive height anomalies were noted west of the continental divide. The persistence of the upper air pattern led to well below normal temperatures at the surface (Fig. 9) that corresponded well with the upper air anomalies.
Next, we will examine the surface pattern during the month of February. A persistent surface trough was evident just off the Northeast U.S. coast (Fig. 10). When one compares the composite mean surface sea level pressure to the 1981-2010 climatological mean (Fig.11) it becomes evident that surface pressures were lower than the climatlogical mean just off the Northeast U.S. Coast. There were a number of surface lows that moved toward the Northeast U.S. coast from the west and intensified across the Canadian Maritimes. The persistence of this pattern led to favorable conditions for significant snowfall along and near the New England Coast.
In the near future the NWS Caribou hopes to examine in more depth the causes of this pattern with an examination of several climate indices.

Hello again! Welcome back to another Just Add Ink challenge – this week, we are taking inspiration from an image provided by Kelly. I love the freshness of this image, and I decided to take inspiration from the floral elements and colours.
I created a watercoloured rose card to celebrate the birth of a friends baby girl. My chosen colours were Real Red (strawberries), Flirty Flamingo (pink lemonade), Old Olive (leaf sprigs in jug), and Garden Green (grass in background).
I used a card base of Flirty Flamingo. A slightly smaller piece of Whisper White was splattered with Flirty Flamingo ink and stamped with a sentiment using Memento Blank ink. This was adhered over a strip of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, using Stampin' Dimensionals.
On Watercolor Paper, I stamped two rose images from Birthday Blooms with Archival Black ink; and watercoloured them with an Aqua Painter and the Flirty Flamingo, Real Red, Old Olive, and Garden Green inks. Once dry, the roses were fussy cut and layered together with Dimensionals. The card was finished off with rhinestones.
Thankyou for popping in to have a look at my creation – don't forget to pop over to Just Add Ink to take part in #JAI379. 'Til next time x

The Time Of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) is a conventional NDT method.
The TOFD method typically uses a pair of conventional probes located on each side of a zone of interest (weld) (see pictures below). The probes are mounted on a scanning device that maintain a constant distance between the two probes.
TOFD inspection uses the "lateral wave echo" directly traveling from one probe to the user as reference for the surface, and the back-wall echo, indirectly traveling from one probe to the other via reflection off the back-wall, as reference for the back-wall.
On a "defect free" specimen, no indications above a selected threshold should be present in between these two echoes. On a "flawed" specimen, the TOFD inspection should show indications in between the lateral wave and the back-wall echoes. When a crack is present, there is a diffraction of the ultrasonic wave from the tips of the crack. Using the measured time-of-flight of the pulse, the depth of a crack tips can be calculated automatically by simple trigonometry.

It goes without saying that school has changed a great deal over the last twenty years. Those pencils are traded in for computer keyboards. And the books for laptops and tablets.
Neither is recess on the playground.
Over the last few years, there has been a serious push to install synthetic turf in more playgrounds than ever before. A synthetic turf playground is a very low maintenance alternative to natural grass, where someone has to mow and weed. And if schools don't stay on top of the maintenance of their natural grass play space, the grass gets worn down and is gone in a matter of weeks.
A synthetic turf playground system eliminates the need to worry about maintenance.
Skyroad Turf offers numerous artificial grass that are certified by Quality Management System and can meet critical requirements of test. Imagine a green playground that looks like natural grass, performs better than natural grass.

Last night I dreamt that a large group of people and I were being hunted. One by one we were being killed and only I knew how to stop it. I kept screaming "You have to create! It's the only good humans do." Creating will save us, huh? I might not be consciously worried about my current lack of musical endeavourers, but hoo boy my sub-conscious pissed off. For some reason I find this deeply funny.

My days are filled with work, work, more work and the occasional bit of eating, sleeping and snuggling. I bought the new Metric album and it's been sitting, unopened, for weeks now. Life has gotten in the way of music.
This isn't the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. What I'm really worried about is how not worried I am. I mean, I'm supposed to love making music, right? Why am I not getting uptight about having no time to do it?
I've got another creative project on the go and that keeps the anxiety somewhat at bay. I'm building a fixed gear bicycle. My life has two points around which it ellipses, music and bicycles. Right now I'm swinging closer to the bike one because of the second job. With the coming of real winter that job will diminish to a few hours a week. I'm hoping at that point I'll pick up where I left off and finish the damn song that's sitting on the hard drive.
I guess like everything else, my desire to make music goes through ebbs and flows and right now it's ebbing. On the plus side, sometimes when I break out of the doldrums my playing improves rapidly. That'd be nice, I feel like I've not improved much since I recovered from the broken arm.
Enough whining and poorly constructed oceanic metaphors!
*The picture is the frame I'm using to build the fixy. I found it abandoned in the middle of a street late one night. I'm calling it Lonely because it's going to be single speed.

THE E LEVATORS S eamy Y ellow U nderbelly (Independent)
Two songs, both clocking in at under two-and-a-half minutes, both instrumental garage-band takedowns of familiar numbers. It's hard to say which one is more appealing--the speedy, surf punk wind up of that old Sesame Street sing-a-long classic, "R ubber
D uckie," or the slightly ridiculous lurch through "F rankie and
J ohnny." Probably the most conceptually-perfect EP you'll hear all year.
T om M urray
From See Magazine (a free weekly arts paper)
Hmmp. I think that while F + J is slightly ridiculous but it might not seem so if it'd been mixed properly. The point of the tune is to show off E's drumming but she's too quiet in the mix. I'm not sure how conceptually perfect the thing is, although the cover art is brilliant. P has a knack for that stuff, but how can it be conceptually perfect when we really didn't have a concept?
Ah well, it's not for sale and we don't have any gigs lined up so the review is purely for our enjoyment, and truth be told: it did give me a little thrill. Oh and in the interests of full disclosure: Tom is an old friend.
If anyone has the slightest interest I'll mail you a free copy, assuming I can pry one out of P's clutching hands.

We played the second of our two annual gigs on Saturday. The Halloween bash at the practice space. It went well, we played damn fine if I do say so myself. We're not a compelling band to watch, a bunch of finger gazers and nary a rock-star among us. That said it was a good time and I think people enjoyed it.
It's too bad in the one picture that my glasses have slid down and my mouth is hanging open. I'd wired the sunglasses to my prescription ones and getting them off mid set wasn't in the cards. The picture is me trying desperately to see the dots on the neck of my guitar.
The other picture is me and the fabulous E, drummer extraordinaire. Our band theme was Lounge Act from Garagistan: "We come to your country to play your women and marry your rock and roll!"

At the end of 2008, the new BMW 7 Series was launched to the market. Along with a new design and multiple technical innovations, the BMW owners received an important update of the often criticized iDrive Navigation System.
The new generation of infotainment is built on an entirely new platform, CIC (Car Infotainment Computer) and it is a hard-disk based system, replacing the slower DVD-based units. It is manufactured by Becker, same company that worked on Audi's MMI system. The updated system includes a new iDrive Controller with shortcut buttons, together with a more intuitive iDrive menu system.
But with the new system coming to the market, existing owners weren't left with many options. BMW does not offer a retrofit kit nor helps with the installation, so this market was left to open to third-party companies and enthusiasts to retrofit their BMWs. A member of M5board explains in detail how the new system could fairly easily be fitted into an "old" E60 5 Series.
Before we jump into this visual guide, a few housekeeping things. First, make sure you know what you're doing, and we certainly cannot assume any responsability for failed conversions which were commissioned after reading this article. Second, you need lots of new parts, from a the new LCD, a new operating unit for automatic climate control, plenty of cables and of course, the actual iDrive unit.
Guide by Stunt from M5board:
Here are all the goodies spread out on the table…
Next up was pulling the trim off
A shot of the back of the CCC with all wires still attached
After complete removal of old CCC components
CCC vs. CIC backs. The orange connector on the CIC is not connected to anything once installed
CIC cables test fitted on bench
My old center trim before seperation
Lower center trim separated from upper. I broke all the tabs, but they are fortunately not used with the new upper center trim
Next up was pulling the pins from the power connector from the old display. Here's the old connector
After transferring to new connector
Different angle showing the pin-outs
Routing USB cable to glove box. I used the same hole that the OEM iPod adapter uses
CIC with all wires connected just before being installed. Note that the cable to the old display and the power for the CCC cooling fan are not used with the CIC
CIC installed
Old vs. new Climate Controls
New Climate Controls installed along with center trim
Finally a set of shots showing some M5 specific screens on the fancy new display

the thing commission
i recently had the incredible opportunity to work on a poster commission of one of my favorite horror movies of all time: john carpenter's "the thing"!
i love the sense of dread and uncertainty that the film delivers, even upon repeat viewings. and there's just something to be said about action/horror ensemble casts from the 80's...from "the thing" to "aliens" to "predator", it just seems like filmmakers knew how to flesh out supporting characters well enough to make you genuinely care about them. seems kinda like a lost art to me.
anyway, i hear there's a prequel/sequel to "the thing" in the works. i won't write it off this early in the process, but i will say that it'll be a minor miracle if the filmmakers can create something worthy of standing alongside this 80's masterpiece.

Item #: SCP-2444
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-2444 at Area-994 currently encompasses both the active containment of SCP-2444-2, and the passive monitoring of the ongoing conflict between the four objects comprising SCP-2444-1.
As SCP-2444-2 has proven impossible to safely remove from SCP-2444-1D, it is currently contained within a modified Type-4 Mobile Temporary Containment Unit, measuring 3m x 3m x 5m, located in SCP-2444-1D''s central chamber. SCP-2444-2 is connected to a modified ground-penetrating radar system which has been altered for use as a heartrate-monitoring device. A series of pressure sensor gauges have been installed in SCP-2444-2''s nasal cavity to allow for measurements of its breathing rate. To minimize the risk of injury to personnel during conflicts between SCP-2444-1D and the other SCP-2444-1, the MTCU has been fitted with a full remote monitoring suite to allow for continued observations while SCP-2444-1D is evacuated. In the event that SCP-2444-2''s breathing or heart rate deviate more than 10% above or below their current mean value, SCP-2444-2 is to be treated as a NhuMI (Non-human/Mythological/Intelligent) humanoid E-class object. At least two personnel with an advanced scholarly understanding of the Rig Veda and the Ramayana, as well as working knowledge of spoken Vedic or Classical Sanskrit are to be in Area-994''s test monitoring center at all times in the event that SCP-2444-2 regains consciousness.
SCP-2444-1A, SCP-2444-1B and SCP-2444-1C are to be accompanied at all times by at least three Foundation UAVs equipped with current-model electromagnetic monitoring equipment. To avoid the risk of injury or equipment loss, no Foundation aircraft are permitted within a 2-kilometer radius of any of these objects. In the event that any SCP-2444-1 object moves further than 30km away from B█████████ Temple, all local Foundation assets are to coordinate to clear the object''s flight path of any civilian air traffic and minimize the risk of detection of SCP-2444-1 from the air. In the event that SCP-2444-1D approaches to within 5km of SCP-2444-1A, B or C, it is to be immediately evacuated of all personnel.
Description: SCP-2444 is the collective designation for several anomalous objects present in the airspace above the B█████████ Temple in K███, India. According to local religious records, SCP-2444-1 have been present since the 12th century at the very latest. SCP-2444-2 was discovered by Foundation research teams exploring SCP-2444-1D''s interior after it was determined to be non-hostile in 19██.
SCP-2444-1 is the collective designation for four anomalous airborne objects which engage in simulated combat using electromagnetic radiation-emitting technology in the aerospace above B█████████ Temple. These objects have been assigned the codenames VIYUNA (SCP-2444-1A), TARAKA (SCP-2444-1B), VIRYA (SCP-2444-1C) and PUSHPAKA (SCP-2444-1D) for the purposes of identification. They have been detected at altitudes as low as 500m above local ground level, and as high as 30km, though never beyond a 25km radius from the Temple''s lingam1. The objects have been observed to move at speeds of up to 500km/h, even in high winds or inclement atmospheric conditions. All four objects continually generate electromagnetic fields with a radiant flux of approximately 3.5MW/s. In light of the exploration of PUSHPAKA, this has been determined to be a by-product of their presumed power source(s) (See below).
The exact appearance of VIYUNA, TARAKA and VIRYA is unknown, as each projects a sphere of anomalous particulate matter approximately 1.5km in diameter which disrupts most forms of electromagnetic imaging. SCP-2444-1 objects do not appear to generate any significant atmospheric disturbances as a result of their movements, despite mathematical simulations indicating that the movement of a 1.5km-diameter particle field at any significant speed would cause catastrophic turbulence. These particle fields also project an anomalous optical lensing effect which makes them difficult to detect visually from below. To date, all foreign objects entering within the radius of the particle fields of VIYUNA, TARAKA and VIRYA have been rapidly destroyed- recovered debris indicates the usage of extremely high-intensity laser or thermal weaponry.
PUSHPAKA projects a similar spherical particle field, but has not engaged or destroyed any foreign objects which approach it. The object is similar in appearance to a Hindu Vimana temple tower, being comprised of a stepped-pyramidal structure approximately 500 meters in height covered with ornate decorative sculptures, mounted atop a 200-meter-wide base. PUSHPAKA is composed entirely of a material similar in composition to local red sandstone with the exception of greatly increased tensile strength and resistance to heat. Approximately 75% of PUSHPAKA''s outer surface is covered by a previously-unknown, non-anomalous subspecies of Gloriosa superba.2 PUSHPAKA has a single entranceway, with the Sanskrit phrase "King of Lanka" inscribed on the lintel.
PUSHPAKA''s interior is empty save for 12 pillars composed of 25 rotating segments each, 60 semi-spherical stone structures 50cm high spaced evenly between the pillars3, and a 10-meter-wide, 2-meter thick iron disk mounted above three iron cylinders attached to the floor of the structure. These cylinders emit an intense broad-spectrum electromagnetic field, and thermal analysis has revealed them to be functionally similar to Carnot heat engines with a thermal efficiency approaching 100%. SCP-2444-2 is attached to the floor of the object approximately 50m in from the entrance.
VIYUNA, TARAKA and VIRYA are believed to be engaged in some form of continual combat with PUSHPAKA. Whenever the objects move closer than 1.5km to PUSHPAKA, their particle fields merge, forming an extended tube shape. Recording devices placed aboard PUSHPAKA have revealed that the objects are apparently capable of generating focused beams of ultraviolet light spectrally similar to those of nuclear-pumped carbon-dioxide lasers, generating bursts of laser fire while rapidly maneuvering within their particle fields to avoid impact. Incoming attacks on PUSHPAKA have also been characterized by bright flashes of yellow, white and red light from VIYUNA, TARAKA and VIRYA respectively. SCP-2444-1 normally generate 5 bursts of approximately 30 distinct beams each before breaking off combat. On 3 separate occasions since their discovery, VIYUNA, TARAKA and VIRYA have merged together to form a single cloud with a diameter of 1.7km, and engaged in prolonged ''combats'' with PUSHPAKA, lasting several days and encompassing several hundred distinct bursts from both sides. Statistical analysis of the firing patterns of the objects reveals a probable hit-to-miss ratio of less than 0.2%, a possible explanation for the minimal evidence of blast damage present on PUSHPAKA''s exterior. Energy bursts from SCP-2444-1 objects are believed to dissipate or be significantly refracted when they connect with the inside of SCP-2444-1 particle fields, as no damage from energy weapons has ever been observed on any object outside an SCP-2444-1 particle field.
SCP-2444-2 is a 4-meter-tall humanoid entity which is believed to be in a form of deep biological stasis or self-induced coma. SCP-2444-2 appears to be composed entirely out of anomalously-dense local gabbros stone, which has proved resistant to most forms of cutting or abrasion. SCP-2444-2 resembles a heavily overweight human with a pair of 50cm-long hircine horns as well as elongated incisors. The entity is clad in a traditional dhoti, composed of the same material as its skin. Radar probing of SCP-2444-2''s interior has revealed it to be functionally identical to that of a severely obese human being, albeit on a much larger scale, and in a state of highly reduced biological activity. Tests have revealed that SCP-2444-2''s heart beats approximately once every hour, and the entity breathes at a rate averaging 5 breaths/day. SCP-2444-2 rests in a stylized combative pose, right arm at its side with fist closed, and with its left hand opened, palm facing inwards, several centimeters in front of its face. A 1m x 1m gabbros plaque is positioned directly above its navel, bearing a message written in an archaic, highly liturgical form of Vedic Sanskrit.
Document SCP-2444-INSC: SCP-2444-2 Plaque Translation
I, Kumbhakarna, proclaim.
I tire of you mighty eternal deities, victorious in your great battles.
Your enlightenment has left you dull.
Of old we fought mighty combats and won glory everlasting.
Now there is naught but sickening, pious contemplation.
These old toys of my brother and his ilk are but paltry amusements, but they will do for now.
I wait for a true companion, one who understands the thrill of conflict and the slow boredom of the unity of God.
If some brave adventurer would duel as we did of old, speak my name three times.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif., Oct. 2 (UPI) -- The largest ice mass in Yosemite, a glacier that is the California park's key source of water, is melting fast and could be gone in 20 years, scientists say.
Lyell Glacier has shrunk by more than half in the past century and hasn't moved in years, researchers in the park said.
"We give it 20 years or so of existence -- then it'll vanish, leaving behind rocky debris," Greg Stock, the park's first full-time geologist, told the Los Angeles Times.
Climate change has caused the glacier to drop 62 percent of its mass and lose 120 vertical feet of ice in the last 100 years, he said.
Yosemite's other glacier, Maclure, is shrinking but is still moving at a rate of about an inch a day.
Lyell, the second-largest glacier in the Sierra Nevada and the headwater of the Tuolumne River watershed, no longer fits the definition of a glacier because it has ceased moving, Stock said.
"Lyell Glacier is stagnant -- a clear sign it's dying," he said. "Our research indicates it stopped moving about a decade ago.
"Glaciers tend to flow like honey down a plate, or slide over meltwater beneath them," Stock said. "We suspect Lyell just isn't thick enough anymore to drive a downhill motion."
The rate of its retreat has accelerated in the last decade, he said.
"Eventually, there'll be nothing left."

The Vtech first steps baby walker was on Isabelle's 1st list to santa. I had read great reviews about it and a lot of people I knew had recommended it to me.
the features include :
- a sturdy design for support
- musical, interactive and educational activities
- textured wheels and easy grip handle
- detachable learning centre
- can be folded flat for easy storage
this activity had lots of fun for baby, they can use the detachable telephone to make all their important calls, listen to the many sounds and watch the lights. It is designed so that the learning centre is detachable so be used on a flat surface.
Isabelle really loved this walker. Having never had a baby walker before I was slightly concerned that as a pre walker it would simply fly away from her and she would be left flat in her face, but I needn't have been both Isabelle and her friend managed to stay upright thanks to the textured wheels. She loved the noises that the learning centre has and the doggy song was in our heads pretty much all the time.
This was very easy to assemble so no bored baby while she waited.
So would I recommend this to you ?
Of course!, I think this is a very well thought out activity toy which is multi-purpose, both for helping your baby to take their first steps unaided but also to introduce them to learning.
