I wrote a guest post for GigaOm on iBeacons in which I detailed how Apple is going to embrace Internet of Things and dump NFC. I also detailed about significance of iBeacons in indoor location based services and in-store marketing. Google is betting on NFC, but Apple is moving forward with iBeacons. Here is the Gigaom post - With iBeacon, Apple is going to dump on NFC and embrace the internet of things.
Nor did Apple say anything about it during the iPhone event Tuesday. But I'm sure this is going to be a big deal, and startup companies like Estimote agree, announcing its support for Apple's technology Tuesday and releasing this demonstration video.
Why is that so? For a couple of reasons: it opens a door to new set of applications such as indoor maps and in-store marketing, it makes the internet of things a realty and it might kill NFC (near-field communications), the wireless technology most linked with mobile payments.
Even CNN picked up the article from GigaOm. Here is the CNN link.
Wall Street Journal used excerpts from my GigaOm article - What People Are Saying About the New iPhones.
Hari Gottipati writes on GigaOm about what wasn't talked about at the launch: iBeacon, a bluetooth-powered location technology that will ship inside iOS 7.
Gottipati's rational on why iBeacon might kill NFC:
NFC tags are pretty cheap compared to NFC chips, but NFC tags are required on each product because NFC works only in very close proximity. In theory, NFC range is up to 20cm (7.87 inches), but the actual optimal range is less than 4cm (1.57 inches). Also, mobile devices need to contain a NFC chip that can handle any NFC communications. On the other hand, iBeacons are a little expensive compared to NFC chips, but iBeacons range is up to 50 meters. Not all phones have NFC chips, but almost all have Bluetooth capability.
This kind of technology gets us closer to the Internet of Things, Gottipati writes.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Sacred Heart University baseball RHP Cooper Thompson was named the NEC Baseball Pitcher of the Week, as announced by the league office Tuesday afternoon.
This is the Pioneers' first weekly award of the season.
Thompson spun 6.0 innings of one-hit ball to earn a victory at CAA member William & Mary. Pitching to an 0.33 WHIP, the sophomore righty allowed only one unearned run before handing a 7-1 lead over to the bullpen to start the seventh inning. Thompson held the Tribe hitless for the first 5.1 frames of his start.
After an one-out double spoiled his no-hit bid, the second-year Pioneer induced back-to-back groundouts to end the sixth inning. William & Mary managed its lone run off Thompson in the second inning with the help of two SHU errors. Thompson walked one and recorded three strikeouts in the 7-3 road win.
The Pioneers will be back in action on Friday, Mar. 1, when the Pioneers travel to Deland, Fl. to take on Georgetown at 1 p.m. as part of the Westin Lake Mary Stetson Invitational.

The Nazi regime preached an ideology of physical, mental, and moral purity. But as Norman Ohler reveals in this history, the Third Reich was saturated with drugs. On the eve of World War II, Germany was a pharmaceutical powerhouse, and companies such as Merck and Bayer cooked up cocaine, opiates, and, most of all, methamphetamines, to be consumed by everyone from factory workers to housewives to millions of German soldiers. In fact, troops regularly took rations of a form of crystal meth -- the elevated energy and feelings of invincibility associated with the high even help to explain certain German military victories. Drugs seeped all the way up to the Nazi high command and, especially, to Hitler himself. Over the course of the war, Hitler became increasingly dependent on injections of a cocktail of drugs -- including a form of heroin -- administered by his personal doctor. While drugs alone cannot explain the Nazis' toxic racial theories or the events of World War II, Ohler's investigation makes the case that, if drugs are not taken into account, our understanding of the Third Reich is fundamentally incomplete.… (more)

User reviews
This book chronicles the millions of doses of crystal meth and other narcotics doles out by Reich physicians, but also the Fuhrer's descent in to addiction at the hands of his person physician, Dr. Morrell. As Hitler became more and more dependent, the more erratic he became, and the gradual fall ensued. It's really surprising how much success and failure can be tied to systematic drug abuse, more so because ideologically the party was very much against such thing. Hitler was a self-styled teetotaler and felt strongly that a street sweeper who enjoys his drink needs to look no further to the reason why he is but a street sweeper.
With drug addiction comes reality distortion, and as Hitler succumbed, the rest of the enterprise went down the toilet as well. Ridiculous orders had to be carried out under the threat of execution, and many of those who knew the collective Stuka was auguring into the ground were powerless to help. As troops developed a tolerance to the drugs they were given, their performance started to suffer and they fell victim to their increasingly experienced, sober counterparts.
There are many reasons the Third Reich did not succeed, but this book makes a compelling case that being stoned out of their gourd was probably a leading cause.… (more)
Here's the thing, as an American there is a certain shock of recognition here with the current American scene with its fun-house mirror coverage of political events, the denial of scientific analysis as a tool to explain reality, of its galloping epidemic of drug abuse, and the withdrawal of many people into various sorts of digital virtual worlds. Heaven help your society if a negative feed-back cycle of addictive behavior takes hold.… (more)
I'm neither a historian with expertise on II. World War Germany, neither the history of pharmacology, therefore, I can't be certain to a great extent whether the author's interpretation of a part of the archives are impeccable. Nevertheless, I applaud the effort taken because of the fresh perspective it provides. Even though the book's focus seems more tilted towards Hitler's addiction to and abuse of drugs, his relationship with his personal physician that gave all these drugs, and how this extraordinary situation made his already delusional state even worse, resulting in the suffering of millions of innocent people, I still wish the book gave more information about the usage of drugs in the army. There are of course striking example, for example the desperate final attempts of German navy, to use such powerful drugs so carelessly and unscientifically, leading to some soldiers not being able to sleep for four days! But I think there are other parts of the archive to be covered from this perspective in order to enhance our understanding.
If you're interested how human mind is affected by drugs that modify the biological mechanisms taking place in the brain, how mind state altering chemicals can be put to weird and evil uses, what crazy side effects can occur, and how blind political and delusional ambition can take knowledge and use it in an ignorant way to cause a lot of suffering, you'll find many of your questions answered in this book. And even though it's a non-fiction, it'll feel more like a page-turner thriller; another achievement by the author.… (more)
The last chunk of the book is taken up with Hitler's own growing drug addiction, which apparently included a lot of cocaine and oxycodone (under the name Eukodal), together comprising the classic speedball, mixing sedation and stimulation. (From William Burroughs: "[Eukodal] is like a combination of junk and [cocaine]. Trust the Germans to concoct some truly awful shit.") Near the end, his doctor wanted to try bloodletting, but "because of the fatty, hormone-saturated pig's liver injections his blood had become as thick as jelly and clotted immediately, so the measure failed."… (more)
The other chemical dealt with in detail is Eukodal, or oxycodone. A large section is devoted to Hitler's drug treatments administered by Dr. Modell.
Altogether a nasty piece of history, somewhat enlightening. Too bad there is no other confirmation of the story as yet. If true, there should be other evidence of a generation of addicts.… (more)

By Paul Hackney | Whittles Publishing | 2011 | 151 pages, colour photos | Softcover | ISBN-13: 9781849950275
The Publisher Says:
The barn owl is a 'flagship' species, at the top of the food chain, and its presence or absence is a good indicator of the health of the countryside. This is the enjoyable and informative story of the author's success in restoring this beautiful bird to areas of the country where its numbers had catastrophically declined.
From an upbringing in the Lake District, the author developed a deep interest in natural history which became an all-consuming passion. As a 'licensed rehabilitation keeper', he cared for a wide range of injured and orphaned wildlife, giving individuals a second chance by returning them to the wild. He reveals how and why he later graduated to barn owl conservation.
The author describes his many encounters with barn owls, from the acquisition of his first breeding pair; 'Barney', a completely humanised owl; to stories of the fascinating array of people involved in releasing, studying, and simply marvelling at this beautiful bird. Although there is a funny side to most situations, there are also the inevitable disasters and disappointments of conservation work, such as the accidental or deliberate sabotaging of releases or the killing of released birds.
The reader shares in the author's disappointment and frustration at the sheer cost in time and money and his frequent self-doubt about the success of the whole exercise. However, there are descriptions of more enjoyable activities such as bird ringing, watching home-grown birds metamorphose from ugly pink scraps into creatures of ethereal beauty, and the seemingly limitless energy and enthusiasm of countless landowners and volunteers who are totally committed to the reintroduction of the barn owl.
After almost 20 years, there is now evidence of a marked increase in barn owl numbers in areas where the author has worked. During this period, he bred and released around 250 birds, put up nest boxes and advised on barn owl-friendly approaches to land management. These activities helped to reverse the decline in population as areas were repopulated and also created reservoirs of wild breeding barn owls, whose offspring colonised other under-populated parts of the country.From a reader's point of view it really doesn't matter whether Paul has chronicled a success story or an adventure in vanity – its a readable account of an honest man's approach to turning back the tide that threatens to engulf nature. Personally I believe that such effort is an example and it matters little whether this was the right approach for this species, the point really is that we should be trying to reverse the trend toward loss of our native birds. Hindsight is, we know, 20:20 vision and the present is always seen through glass darkly. Good people make the attempt with whatever knowledge is available and this was a good man's attempt to do some good. The account is both entertaining and informative, especially in showing how our knowledge has grown and how emphasis must change over time to reflect that growth in knowledge. They say for tyranny to reign all that is required is that good men do nothing. Well for the same can be said for the environment. For it to deteriorate all we need do is sit back and watch – for it to survive we must act.

I present a new framework for qualitative assessment of the current green purchasing practices of U.S. state governments. Increasing demand from citizens for green public purchasing has prompted state governments to adopt new, and improve existing, practices. Yet there has been little assessment of public green purchasing in academic research; what has been done has not provided the conceptual support necessary to assess green purchasing practices as a single component of the procurement process. My research aims to fill that gap by developing a conceptual framework with which to assess the status of green purchasing practices and by applying this …

I DON'T THINK IT'S A WISE DECISION TO ADD SOUND TO THE SDP VENUE. ONE, BECAUSE MANY OF THE CONVERSATIONS ARE CLIENT PRIVATE, AND, TWO, BECAUSE I THINK IT WILL CRAMP YOUR STYLE, AS WELL AS THAT OF YOUR STAFF. IF THE SOUND IS TURNED ON, I THINK THE ATMOSPHERE AT SDP WILL BECOME STILTED AND LOSE ITS SPONTANEITY. AND, IF AFTER MAIL CALL, YOU FORGET TO TURN THE SOUND OFF, THERE'S THE POSSIBILITY CLIENT PRIVATE, AND OTHER PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS, WILL BE HEARD BY THE CONSUMING PUBLIC. I JUST DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE ADDITION OF SOUND TO THE SDP VENUE. OTHER CPS HAVE VOICED SIMILAR FEELINGS.

text: Hi guys, I'm in the planning phase of building a new gaming rig mainly for simming (Xplane and Iracing), it's going to take a while because I want to make it my neatest build ever so I'll be buying components, installing them, measuring cable runs and ordering custom cables to suit. I'll be using the same sort of method for all the water cooling gear. Anyhow, these are the rough specs that I'm looking at; Case : Thermaltake x9 Mobo : Z370 (model TBA) CPU : i7 8700K (depending on reviews re: O/clocking) RAM : 32 GB PC 3200 (2 x 16 GB prefered) GPU : Single 1080 Ti Storage : 1TB M2 SSD (Samsung 960 pro) 2 TB SSHD PSU : Seasonic 1050 watt (from my old system) I want to water cool the CPU, GPU and RAM using as many rads and reservoirs as possible - I want gallons of coolant in there It'll be my first build using hard tube so thats another thing that'll slow me down, but as long as I have it built by around xmas I'll be happy. Photo's will come as soon as I get my grubby little hands on some hardware, Shane

March usually embodies the naïve hope of spring: warm weather, green grass, tulips, frolicking in fields…. As I'm writing this blog post warming up my frigid fingers after being slammed by Winter Storm Toby, it's hard to imagine what a green world feels like. Yet the Orca team has been psyched to be collaborating with universities to promote "green" (like the segue?!) and sustainable initiatives throughout March and into Earth Month in April.
Most notable in March was our initiative to promote the nationwide Recylemania tournament. I was made aware of the tournament after a December phone call with facilities administrators at Southwestern University. They mentioned that Southwestern would be competing in the 8-week competition beginning February 4th. Recyclemania is a "friendly competition for college and university recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities to their campus communities." Competing schools raise awareness about waste reduction, increase recycling efforts, and report weights to benchmark against other schools.
Following our conversation, I dug around online and found some great templates on Recyclemania's website that we could use to distribute on Southwestern's OrcaTV channel via digital signage and the Stream2 IPTV app. I forwarded these to the Southwestern team and Southwestern's "sustainability steward," a student who'd been selected to champion Southwestern's sustainability outreach efforts to students. Throughout the subsequent discussions, the Southwestern team and I created a plan to highlight sustainability facts and advertise the competition on Southwestern's channel. Peri, Southwestern's sustainability steward, highlighted facts such as "the average college student produces 640 pounds of solid waste per year" and "there's no limit to the amount of times aluminum cans can be recycled." We also discussed social media collaboration with the university marketing and communications team to feature the hashtag #SURecycles, the official Southwestern hashtag for the competition. Peri created an awesome series of flyers and sustainability tips, scheduling one to play each successive week throughout the competition. As of week five, Southwestern had recycled 136,970 pounds of waste – on a campus of about 1,400 students!
While working on our dynamic campaign at Southwestern, I checked out Recyclemania's website and the "participating schools" section. I was pleasantly surprised to find that some of our other OrcaTV partners were competing. As Brandon, our Client Coordinator, and I discussed the competition with schools including Clemson, the University of Texas at Dallas, George Mason University, Michigan State University, Bryant University, and the University of New Hampshire, we started to find that some of our contacts at these schools weren't aware of the competition.
Thus ensued a wonderfully collaborative process in which I was able to learn about strategies for promoting the tournament from our various university partners, then share the ideas with our schools to facilitate recycling on a nationwide scale. One school of note was Michigan State University, where Maddie, our OrcaTV Student Ambassador, is also a User Accessibility and Social Media Marketing Intern for the College of Natural Sciences. Aside from all her titles, Maddie is an extremely motivated student and an incredible graphic designer. Maddie and her supervisors hadn't known MSU was involved with the competition, but proceeded to create a powerful campaign to promote the tournament within the college after finding out more. Maddie created graphics highlighting the competition to display on the new College of Natural Sciences Instagram account (@msunatsci), used the running hashtag #IHeartNatSci to display the graphics on the OrcaTV social media feed broadcast on MSU's video wall, and coopted the "fun facts" idea to include Recyclemania sustainability facts with a MSU theme.
The result? Maddie helped raise awareness for Recyclemania throughout Michigan State's College of Natural Sciences, a community of about 6,000 undergraduate and graduate students plus 325 faculty and staff and more than 40,000 living alumni. By week two, MSU had saved the energy consumption equivalent of 75 households according to the EPA's Waste Reduction Model.
Other universities have taken up the charge to create comprehensive recycling campaigns as well, and we're only seeing more as April and Earth Month arrive. At Pace University we're featuring #PaceEcoMonth posts on OrcaTV screens across campus throughout April.
Our Student Ambassador at Michigan Technological University, Rebecca, assembled an incredible series of sustainability facts at Michigan Technological University in partnership with students living in the Michigan Tech Sustainability Demonstration House, a solar powered house housing five Michigan Tech Students. I even learned a new fun fact: you can use the Ecosia search engine to save trees while surfing the web!
Daniel, our Manhattan College Student Ambassador, emailed me this weekend with an impressive plan to "collaborate with various student organizations… in order to promote a week of Green Awareness leading up to Earth Day," and use OrcaTV to promote their messaging. At the University of Texas at Dallas, our ambassador Alaa coordinated with the Sustainability Club and UT Dallas' Digital Media Specialist on a series of creative fun facts about sustainability, inspired by our weekly student ambassador calls and our success at Southwestern.
Throughout the Recyclemania competition and into Earth Month, I was flattered to discover that acting as a consultant by just sharing ideas can help generate large-scale school campaigns. More importantly, I learned that every school – from Southwestern, an intimate private institution in Texas, to Michigan State, a large R1 Big Ten school – can make an impact, and can in many cases use the same means to do so.

Scrubber Installed Aboard M/V Bore Song
The exhaust gas cleaning system (scrubber system) supplied by Deltamarin Floating Construction to Bore Ltd on a turnkey basis, has received confirmation of full compliance with SECA and IMO regulations (approved by Lloyd's register and TRAFI, the Finnish Transport Safety Agency). After the 14-day dry docking, the open loop operation of the scrubber was in immediate use when the ship left the repair yard.
The system delivered for the 13,500 DWT RoRo ship M/V Bore Song 12MW main engine (Wärtsilä 12V46F CR 12,000 kW) is based on DeltaLangh scrubber technology. This True Hybrid Scrubber system allows both close and open loop operation, and is now confirmed as meeting all present and forthcoming requirements.
The scrubber's water treatment technology limits water content in the output sludge in closed loop operation, meaning waste is concentrated, and the amount that needs to be handled ashore is minimal, the manufacturer explained. Thanks to the DeltaLangh scrubber system, zero discharge operation can be arranged without additional tanks on board.
"The DeltaLangh Hybrid Scrubber was a choice when looking for a sustainable solution for the future. It has lived up to our expectations: minimum sludge handling, very clean outgoing water and in that respect minimum impact on the environment. The project was handled as a turnkey project, and I am especially pleased with the short installation time, which enabled us to keep our promise to our customer," said Jörgen Mansnerus, VP, Marine Management at Bore Ltd.
Rami Hirsimäki, Managing Director of Deltamarin Floating Construction, said, "Our EPC delivery integrates a complete package of goods and services, which makes the projects easier for the owners to manage. As an independent main contractor we always utilise the best-suited technology, building method and docking location for each project. This enables us to provide our customers with premium solutions and minimal downtime for their business."

Supercup: Round 3 – Monaco
May 27th, 2017
Dan Cammish:
I've certainly had some great support. It's been an amazing weekend and it's a very special place. To take part at the circuit is a bit of a dream for me. After the first few laps in practice I was feeling comfortable and the time started to come. I was P3 and felt comfortable with the time and with the car. In qualifying I was able to go P3 again and was only a tenth off the front row.
When it came to the race it turned out to be the better place to be as I was able to jump Olsen into second place. Everyone knows it is incredibly difficult to overtake around Monaco so to be able to gain a place off the line was incredible.
I was following [Michael] Ammamuller for the first few laps, which taught me some things that I didn't know. I was comfortable with the pace though and managed to get the fastest lap. By the end of the race we were comfortably keeping the pace and I was pulling away from Dennis [Olsen] in third place.
It was unbelievable to be on the Monaco podium. It was incredibly special and a proud moment for the family and me. Hopefully it will happen again soon.

Soil carbon sequestration can be estimated from field to global scale using numerical soil/ecosystem models. In this chapter, we describe the structure and development of models that have been widely used at international level, from simple models that include carbon only to models that include descriptions of the dynamics of a range of nutrients. We also present examples of the application from field to global scale of different models to answer a range of different questions on the impact of land use and climate changes on soil carbon sequestration.
A full discussion of the impact of soil carbon modeling on political and socioeconomical aspects is included to emphasize the need of a close interaction between model developers, researchers, land owners/users and policy makers to ensure the development of robust approaches to climate change, food security and soil protection.
Whatever type of models are used to meet future challenges, it is important that they continue to be tested using appropriate data, and that they are used in regions and for land uses where they have been developed and validated.

Key to Function of Dinosaur Crests Found in Brain Structure
High-tech imaging reveals inside of duck-billed dinosaur skulls
October 16, 2008
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
Paleontologists have long debated the function of the strange, bony crests on the heads of the duck-billed dinosaurs known as lambeosaurs. The structures contain incredibly long, convoluted nasal passages that loop up over the tops of their skulls.
Scientists at the University of Toronto, Ohio University and Montana State University now have used CT-scanning to look inside these mysterious crests and reconstruct the brains and nasal cavities of four different lambeosaur species.
At the annual meeting of the Society for Vertebrate Paleontology in Cleveland, Ohio, the team today announced new findings that suggest the crests were used for communication.
The research was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
"These scientists have used cutting-edge visualization and reconstruction techniques to show that duck-billed dinosaurs likely communicated via sound and signal, " said Adam Summers, program director in NSF's Division of Integrative and Organismal Systems.
"Trace fossils were once our main window into the behavior of long-vanished organisms," said Summers. "Now, it's clear that the reconstruction of hard tissues and associated soft tissue is a powerful tool for understanding behavior and physiology."
Some paleontologists have suggested that the crests heightened the sense of smell by increasing the surface area of the sensory tissue. Others have argued that they regulated temperature, and still others have speculated that the crests acted as sound resonators for communication.
"The shape of the brain can tell us a lot about what senses were important in a dinosaur's everyday life, and give insight into the function of the crests," said scientist David Evans, a paleontologist at the Royal Ontario Museum and the University of Toronto.
"It's difficult to infer the function of structures in an extinct dinosaur when there is so little resemblance to any living animal," said Jack Horner, a member of the team and paleontologist at Montana State University.
By using and analyzing CT scans, conducted by Lawrence Witmer and Ryan Ridgely of Ohio University's College of Osteopathic Medicine, the scientists were able to circumvent the problems of fossilization.
"Even though the soft tissues are not preserved in the fossils, the shape of the bones that encase the brain and nasal passages are," said Evans. "From there, the anatomy of these missing soft parts is easily interpreted."
The CT scan results revealed a mismatch between the external shape of the crest and the internal shape of the nasal passages in closely related species, suggesting a special function for the nasal cavity.
The portion of the brain responsible for the sense of smell was relatively small and primitive, indicating that the crest did not evolve to improve that sense.
Computer models done by other researchers suggest that the crests could have been used to make low, eerie bellowing calls that could have been used in communication, perhaps to call for mates or warn others of predators.
The CT scans documented a delicate inner ear that confirms that the dinosaurs could hear the low-frequency calls produced by the crest.
"We were surprised to see just how large the centers of the brain associated with higher cognitive functions were," said Witmer. "We suspected that the crested duck-billed dinosaurs used both vocal and visual displays, but now we see that they had the brain power and hearing to pull off these behaviors."

Pretty much as I predicted nearly three weeks ago, Hillary Clinton has wiped clean her server so that there's no chance of reviewing the emails she did not turn over to the Department of State. Here's what her lawyer wrote to Congressman Trey Gowdy:
To avoid prolonging a discussion that would be academic, I have confirmed with the secretary's IT support that no emails…..for the time period January 21, 2009 through February 1, 2013 reside on the server or on any back-up systems associated with the server.
That won't stop people from trying to find a way to still recover those emails, but let me offer a word of advice: it's not going to happen and you're getting played here.

Cost-Saving Energy Efficiency Measures for Industrial Facilities (1/9)
American industrial companies spend $100 billion a year powering manufacturing facilities. Businesses can realize significant cost savings by taking simple steps to improve energy efficiency. These tips, from the federal Energy STAR program, can help companies boost the bottom line while reducing energy consumption.Next: Lighting
1. Lighting (2/9)
Lighting is a significant electrical energy consumer, but that also means targeting its efficiency can result in big savings. Maximizing natural light; shutting lights in unoccupied areas; and using lighting controls, compact fluorescent lamps, and T-8 fluorescent tubes all make a difference.
Case Study: In Rahway, New Jersey, Merck used automatic shut-off lights and saved 380 megawatt-hours of electricity in a year.
HVAC systems keep workplaces comfortable and maintain air quality. Simple steps can improve efficiency. Businesses can choose energy-efficient HVAC equipment, commission or recommission existing HVAC systems, install energy monitoring and controls, repair leaky air ducts, consider heat recovery systems, and switch to light-reflective or green roofs.
Case Study: In Apple Valley, California, a commercial building used a mobile aerosol-sealant injection system (MASIS) to reduce duct leakage, resulting in a 34 percent efficiency increase of the building's HVAC system.
3. Motors (4/9)
Motors are used across industrial facility systems, such as refrigeration, HVAC, compressed air, and other processes. Focus on systems the motors operate for best results. Develop a motor management plan, choose motors strategically, maintain existing motors, select properly sized motors, correct power factor, and minimize voltage imbalances.
Case Study: In Columbus, Indiana, Cummins Engine Company chose energy-efficient HVAC motors and saved $128,000 in one year.
4. Compressed Air (5/9)
Compressed air is one of the least efficient parts of industrial plants - and one of the most expensive. Many efficiency methods are relatively inexpensive. Maintain compressed air systems, monitor compressed air use, target pipe and equipment leaks, shut off unnecessary compressed air, use sources besides compressed air, and use air at the lowest possible pressure.
Case Study: In Monroe, Michigan, Visteon established a leak management program that resulted in a $560,000 annual cost savings.
5. Pumps (6/9)
Pumps are used throughout industrial applications. Up to 20 percent of the energy pumps consume can be saved by adjusting equipment and pump control systems. To do so, implement a pump system maintenance program, monitor the system, reduce pump demand, install high-efficiency pumps, choose properly sized pumps, and replace drive belts.
Case Study: In La Crosse, Wisconsin, the Stroh Brewery Company reduced the diameter of its pump impeller - and its energy costs by $19,000 in one year.
6. Hot Water and Steam Systems (7/9)
Hot water and steam systems present several opportunities to make industrial operations more efficient. Businesses should identify needed steam uses and reduce steam generation pressure and volume when possible. They can also improve distribution system insulation, monitor and improve steam traps, recover flash steam, and repair leaks.
Case Study: In Bedford Park, Illinois, Nalco Chemical Company reduced steam pressure from 125 psig to 100 psig and saved $142,000 in one year.
7. Furnaces for Process Heating (8/9)
Fired heaters account for nearly a quarter of the fuel manufacturers consume. To reduce this load, control the air-to-fuel ratio, improve heat transfer and containment, and recover flue gas heat.
After a building boom during the first half of the decade, new construction has ground to a halt due to a mortgage meltdown, credit crisis, and recession. This has curtailed implementation of sustainable practices, which are a key component of new developments. With recovery in development still far off, retrofits represent the best opportunity today for industrial users to harness the benefits of sustainable design.
Just how vast is this opportunity? Pike Research says 80 percent of all U.S. commercial buildings are more than 10 years old. This property glut encompasses more than 80 billion square feet, and is one of the country's top energy consumers and carbon emitters.
Find the Savings
In California, commercial buildings account for a staggering 37 percent of total energy consumption, state-based independent research organization Next-10 says. A considerable number of those buildings fail to maximize potential energy savings. The data reveal an opportunity for significant energy and cost savings via green retrofits. The potential savings are significant if buildings are evaluated and upgraded. Pike's study suggests that a 10-year retrofit program based on modern best practices can yield annual savings of more than $41.1 billion. And Next-10 finds that 80 percent of energy currently used is not maximized. Some low-cost fixes could save both businesses and states significant cash.
The benefits of sustainable retrofits have captured the government's attention. Representatives from states including Florida and California are campaigning for programs that give financial incentives to property owners who make sustainable retrofits. PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) bonds fund these programs, with proceeds for commercial and residential property owners to finance retrofits and repay the funds over 20 years through annual assessments of property tax bills.
These programs mitigate the high upfront costs of some sustainable construction projects (particularly in a challenging economy), and seem to be finding favor. PACE financing for commercial buildings will reach $2.5 billion annually by 2015, Pike says.
With a large supply of obsolete facilities, a global push for efficiency, and a groundswell of governmental support, we are at the start of a golden age for sustainable retrofits. Property owners who find ways to increase efficiency are poised to lead the sustainability race.
Where to Look
A successful sustainable project has four key objectives. First, it must have a positive environmental impact. With a wealth of research highlighting the importance of environmental stewardship, companies face tremendous pressure to reduce their carbon footprints.
Second, the facility must increase efficiency. As an owner with a large portfolio of properties near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the majority of Watson Land Company's tenants maintain global supply chains, which change with the world economy. The uncertainty surrounding cargo volume requires flexible and efficient distribution centers, two prime features of sustainable industrial buildings.
Third, the project must reduce operating costs, including use of electricity, water, and any other resource requiring usage fees or ongoing maintenance and repair. While each of these components can serve a separate function, they collectively unlock a reservoir of untapped cost savings.
Fourth, the project must improve the user's overall profitability. With factors like lower construction costs, government incentives, and mainstream adoption, the opportunity to translate sustainability into profitability is now more attainable than ever.
But the first part of a building to assess during retrofits is also the most overlooked. Truck yards are one of the most important components of an industrial facility. And these blacktop behemoths are only expanding in size and importance, particularly in port cities, due to volatile global commerce.
July 2010 represented one of the best months in several years for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. In Los Angeles, imports were up 21 percent over the previous year, and overall port traffic rose 26.8 percent. Long Beach posted even higher gains, with imports up 32.5 percent and port traffic up 35.8 percent over the previous year. These dramatic spikes have required many users to rapidly scale up to meet new demand, making the size and function of their truck yards even more important. Inventory fluctuations have called for larger yards with generous turning radii, expansive trailer parking, and additional storage capacity. But large, asphalt surfaces also absorb heat and rely on petroleum-based products. Many users are now considering switching to concrete, a stronger, cooler, and environmentally friendly material. Concrete truck yards are also more durable, saving money on maintenance and ongoing replacement.
Evaluating water fixtures and landscaping presents an opportunity to capture substantial cost savings. Upgrading fixtures such as urinals, water closets, and faucets proves that material upgrades can immediately reduce consumption and yield savings. At one Watson industrial property, we calculated the annual water consumption of upgraded fixtures, compared to standard fixtures in compliance with the Energy Policy Act of 1992. The upgraded facility produced annual water savings of more than 42 percent. Landscaping upgrades told a similar story. Drought-tolerant landscape design and high-efficiency irrigation fixtures resulted in annual landscape water savings of more than 36 percent.
Inside the facility, lighting systems represent the best opportunity to reduce energy consumption and operating costs. Buildings with skylights and large clerestory windows harness natural sunlight for illumination, reducing electrical loads. Besides trimming costs, daylight is associated with increased employee satisfaction and productivity.
Upgrading lighting systems adds to the savings. Replacing eight-foot florescent strip lighting with energy efficient T5 or T8 lamps can reduce total energy output by more than 65 percent. Adding photocells with automatic shut-off and motion detectors ensure the lights are on only when needed.
Just look up to see the built-in advantages of industrial facilities compared to smaller buildings. Rooftop solar panels are one of the fastest growing segments of renewable energy. Industrial facilities' expansive, flat roofs provide an optimal environment for solar energy systems, which turn sunlight into significant electricity savings. Besides reduced monthly expenses, the government provides rebates, grants, and tax credits to encourage the adoption of such renewable energy systems.
Get with the Program
With a wealth of environmental benefits, savings, and government incentives, property owners are executing renovations with sustainability in mind. Sustainable building programs are leveraging the benefits of ground-up sustainable development to create cost-effective retrofit programs. While each facility differs in form and function, similar sustainable features are implemented in each new project. This allows for benchmarking progress and maintaining a sustainable "scorecard" that will yield predictable energy savings across the entire portfolio.
For example, Watson uses these sustainable features:
• Low flow plumbing fixtures;
• Drought tolerant landscaping;
• Oversized, 100 percent concrete truck yards;
• Three percent skylight to roof ratios and white ceiling insulation to promote efficient energy use and excellent warehouse illumination;
• Abundant skylights and clerestory windows for maximum natural light; and
• T5 or T8 lighting systems.
Instead of cherry picking a series of one-off sustainable retrofits, a holistic renovation program is imperative to maximizing sustainability. In 2005, Watson began an extensive renovation program to upgrade its buildings in the South Bay region of Southern California. Aesthetic improvements included replacing exterior façades, installing new skylights and clerestory glass, and upgrading entryways. Functional improvements entailed replacing outdated heating and cooling systems, increasing truck loading doors, and expanding turning radii to boost parking capacity and improve maneuvering. The program will result in efficient buildings that meet new sustainable design standards and create significant cost savings.
Opportunity Amid Challenges
Industrial users face a multitude of challenges, from a sluggish economy to a lack of available financing to volatility in global trade. Despite these challenges, the need for sustainable industrial buildings continues to grow. The ability to reduce carbon emissions while enhancing overall building performance has made sustainable building features a mandatory component of all new developments. By shifting the focus from ground-up developments to retrofitting existing buildings, users can realize substantial cost savings for a lower initial investment. In a market where efficiency and environmental stewardship are highly valued, your greatest asset for a sustainable future could be your existing building.

Last month, the first trailer for Vox Lux showcased the brash personality of Natalie Portman's lead character and now a second teaser taps into the awards season hype.
Directed by Brady Corbet, Vox Lux tells the story of a pop star named Celeste. As a teenager, she survives a school shooting and then becomes a viral sensation for a memorial service singing performance. Though Portman stars as the adult version of Celeste, English actress Raffey Cassidy plays dual roles as both Young Celeste and the singer's daughter, Libertine. Filling out the cast, Jude Law has a supporting role as Celeste's manager, and All the Money in the World's Stacy Martin appears as Celeste's older sister. Vox Lux marks the second feature for Corbet, who previously released the Robert Pattinson film The Childhood of a Leader in 2015. Over the past 15 years, Corbet has worked with various cinematic auteurs as an actor, and their influence can be seen in his new feature.
Related: Natalie Portman Open to Returning in a V For Vendetta Sequel
Today, NEON released Vox Lux's second trailer, which focuses less on Celeste's personality traits and more on her origin story. To begin, the singer speaks to a concert crowd and promises to "take it back where it all began." Through a hard edit, the trailer loses its organic feel by traveling back in time to Young Celeste's star-making performance, but the clip ultimately picks up the pace by bringing the narrative full circle.
In the second half, Celeste performs her iconic song once again, this time as a superstar, and the moment allows Portman to shine while interpreting an original work by Sia. Celeste later comments about how "big moments" get taken away from her, which suggests that the film's most powerful sequences will likely take place on stage, with the spotlight solely on Portman. Overall, the new Vox Lux trailer maintains the Oscar hype but doesn't necessarily offer much depth about the film's central characters.
After Vox Lux's world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last September, critics gave the film polarizing reviews. Soon thereafter, NEON acquired Vox Lux for distribution, and the awards season buzz escalated for Portman, who is more than capable of elevating a film's visibility with her acting alone. Throughout her nearly 25-year career in feature films, Portman has won two Golden Globe awards for Closer (2004) and Black Swan (2010), along with a Best Actress Oscar for her performance in the latter drama.
While Corbet's style of filmmaking may not translate to box office success, Vox Lux just may be effective enough to get people talking on social media. We'll find out in December when Vox Lux is released theatrically.

Why Policygenius?
We make it easy to compare and buy insurance.LEARN MORE
You know it's good. Find out why it's good.
Life insurance provides cash to help your beneficiaries replace your income when you die. This money goes to your beneficiaries and can be used for anything — funeral expenses, living expenses, college tuition, mortgage payments, donations to charity. A lifetime supply of pancake mix. A trip to the Outer Hebrides. A life insurance policy of their own. Whatever they want. The skies (and the amount of your death benefit) are the limit.
Death is expensive — the average funeral costs nearly $10,000 — not to mention medical bills after a hospital stay or extended illness. Life insurance can pay for these debts and give your family time to grieve.
Life insurance can also help your family pay the bills if you die. Think about your family ledger: if you didn't bring in another paycheck, what would happen? Could your spouse make up the difference? A influx of cash can keep the surviving spouse in their home or your children in college, if not forever, at least until they can make another plan.
But there are more benefits to life insurance than a pot of money (though that's nice).
Read on to learn about:
There are several types of life insurance, but the most popular type, and the one that makes sense for most people, is term life insurance, which you buy to last until your debts are paid off (generally a 20- to 30-year term). The benefits of a term life plan include:
Policygenius is the easy way to compare life insurance.
"Policygenius… guides consumers to figure out what kind of insurance they need and offers them options."
– The Wall Street Journal
Alternatively, whole life insurance is a permanent insurance product that combines investing and life insurance. Once you buy a policy, as long as you continue to pay premiums (or build up enough cash value to cover the premiums), you are covered until you die. Whole life insurance can cost four times the amount of term life insurance, but it also has its own benefits:
You can make your life insurance policy even more beneficial to you and your family by adding life insurance riders, or endorsements:
Disability income rider — Provides you with a monthly stipend if you become unable to work. This rider can serve as an alternative to long-term disability insurance, though it's less robust and doesn't last as long as long-term disability coverage.
Disability waiver-of-premium rider — If you become disabled, you can keep your life insurance policy and have your payments waived until your disability ends.
Term conversion rider — Allows you to convert your term life insurance policy into a permanent life insurance policy.
Accelerated death benefit rider — If you're diagnosed with a terminal illness (less than 12 to 24 months to live, depending on the state), you can get all or part of the death benefit paid out before you die. While this can support your end-of-life care, it could leave your survivors with a lower death benefit.
Long-term care rider — Takes money out of your death benefit to pay for long-term care, such as a nursing home.

New Watch Glass
A watch glass replacement is carried out if your watch glass is chipped, cracked, missing or scratched.
There are various options which we can discuss once we receive your watch. You are able to have a manufacturers watch glass, a generic watch glass, or even when required, a glass specifically cut for your watch.
Whichever option you choose, all our watch glasses are fitted by our experts.
Even if you glass is just chipped we recommend having it replaced as a chip can easily turn into a crack and when the glass shatters it can cause damage to the face of your watch. This can then cause damage to the hands.
Watch repairs
As well as a new watch glass, at Repairs By Post we offer various other watch repairs. If your watch requires a new strap, a new crown and stem or a replacement clasp then Repairs By Post can help.
We also offer a large range of jewellery repairs, from jewellery cleaning to jewellery resign and everything in between.
"I needed to get my husbands watch repaired after he smashed the face, going direct to the manufacturer was going to cost more than the watch itself. Repairs by post fixed the face with genuine parts and gave it a service for half the price. They were really nice at each step of the way too!" Mrs Stacey
