- Mycobacterium bovis
Mycobacterium bovis Attenuated strain of M. bovis used in the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine Scientific classification Kingdom: Bacteria Phylum: Actinobacteria Order: Actinomycetales Suborder: Corynebacterineae Family: Mycobacteriaceae Genus: Mycobacterium Species: M. bovis Binomial name Mycobacterium bovis
Karlson & Lessel 1970,[1] ATCC 19210
Mycobacterium bovis is a slow-growing (16 to 20 hour generation time), aerobic bacterium and the causative agent of tuberculosis in cattle (known as bovine TB). Related to M. tuberculosis—the bacterium which causes tuberculosis in humans—M. bovis can also jump the species barrier and cause tuberculosis in humans.[2]
During the first half of the 20th century, M. bovis is estimated to have been responsible for more losses among farm animals than all other infectious diseases combined. Infection occurs if the bacterium is ingested.[citation needed]
M. bovis is usually transmitted to humans via infected milk, although it can also spread via aerosol droplets. Actual infections in humans are rare, mostly due to pasteurisation killing any bacteria in infected milk; as well, cattle are randomly tested for the disease and immediately culled if infected, but can still be used for human consumption. However, in areas of the developing world where pasteurisation is not routine, M. bovis is a relatively common cause of human tuberculosis.[3]
Bovine TB is a chronic infectious disease which affects a broad range of mammalian hosts including humans, cattle, deer, llamas, pigs, domestic cats, wild carnivores (fox, coyotes, badgers), possums, mustelids and rodents; it rarely affects equids or sheep.[4][5] The disease can be transmitted in several ways, for example, badgers excrete M. bovis in exhaled air, sputum, urine, faeces and pus, so the disease can be transmitted by direct contact, contact with the excreta of an infected animal, or inhalation of aerosols, depending on the species involved.
Epidemiology and control
New ZealandSee also: Animal Health Board (New Zealand)
In New Zealand, the common brushtail possum is the main vector for the spread of M. bovis. The disease now endemic in possums across approximately 38% of New Zealand (known as 'vector risk areas'). In these areas, nearly 70% of new herd infections can be traced back to possums or ferrets. The Biosecurity Act 1993, which established a National Pest Management Strategy, is the legislation behind control of the disease in New Zealand. The Animal Health Board (AHB) operates a nationwide programme of cattle testing and possum control, with the goal of eradicating M. bovis from wild vector species across 2.5 million hectares – or one quarter – of New Zealand's at-risk areas, by 2026 and, eventually, eradicating the disease entirely.[6]
The TBfree New Zealand programme is regarded as "world-leading".[7] It has successfully reduced cattle and deer herd infection rates from more than 1700 in 1994 to fewer than 100 herds in July 2011. Much of this success can be attributed to sustained possum control reducing cross-infection and breaking the disease cycle. For example, at Hohotaka, in New Zealand's central North Island, control work from 1988 to 1994 achieved a sustained mean reduction of 87.5% in the density of TB‐infected possums. As expected, annual TB incidence in local cattle herds consequently declined by a similar amount (83.4%).[8]
Possums are controlled through a combination of trapping, ground-baiting and, where other methods are impractical, aerial treament with 1080 poison.[9]
From 1979 - 1984, possum control was stopped due to lack of funding. In spite of regular and frequent TB testing of cattle herds, the number of infected herds snowballed and continued to increase until 1994.[10] The area of New Zealand where there were TB wild animals expanded from about 10 to 40%.
That possums are such effective transmitters of TB appears to be facilitated by their behaviour once they succumb to the disease. Terminally ill TB possums will show increasingly erratic behaviour, such as venturing out during the daytime to get enough food to eat, and seeking out buildings in which to keep warm. As a consequence, they may wander on to paddocks, where they naturally attract the attention of inquisitive cattle and deer. This behaviour has been captured on video.[11]
United Kingdom
In the 1930s, 40% of cows in the UK were infected with M. bovis and there were 50,000 new cases of human M. bovis infection every year.[12] According to DEFRA and the Health Protection Agency, the risk to people contracting TB from cattle in Great Britain today is very low. The HPA has said that three quarters of the 440 human cases reported to the HPA between 1994 and 2006 were aged 50 years and above and only 44 cases (16%) were known to be non-UK born.
Badgers (Meles meles) were first identified as carriers of M. bovis 30 years ago, but the report of an independent review committee in 1997 concluded badgers made an important contribution to the spread of M. bovis between herds of cattle.[13] This was the major cause of the current battle between animal conservationists (keen to save the badger) and farmers (keen to cull badgers, to reduce livestock losses). The Randomised Badger Culling Trial [14] (designed, overseen and analysed by the Independent Scientific Group on Cattle TB, or ISG [15]) was a large field trial of widescale (proactive) culling and localised reactive culling (in comparison with areas which received no badger culling). In their final report,[16] the ISG concluded: "First, while badgers are clearly a source of cattle TB, careful evaluation of our own and others' data indicates that badger culling can make no meaningful contribution to cattle TB control in Britain. Indeed, some policies under consideration are likely to make matters worse rather than better. Second, weaknesses in cattle testing regimes mean that cattle themselves contribute significantly to the persistence and spread of disease in all areas where TB occurs, and in some parts of Britain are likely to be the main source of infection. Scientific findings indicate that the rising incidence of disease can be reversed, and geographical spread contained, by the rigid application of cattle-based control measures alone." On 26 July 2007, the Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Lord Rooker) said "My Lords, we welcome the Independent Scientific Group's final report, which further improves the evidence base. We are carefully considering the issues that the report raises, and will continue to work with industry, government advisers and scientific experts in reaching policy decisions on these issues."[17]
In the UK, many other mammals have been found to be infected with M. bovis, although the frequency of isolation is generally much less than cattle and badgers. In some areas of South-West England, deer, especially fallow deer due to their gregarious behaviour, have been implicated as a possible maintenance host for transmission of bovine TB,[18][19] a disease which in the UK in 2005 cost £90 million in attempts to eradicate.[20] It has been argued that in some localised areas, the risk of transmission to cattle from fallow deer is greater than it is from badgers.[18][19]
In a 2010 opinion piece in Trends in Microbiology, Paul and David Torgerson argued that bovine tuberculosis is a negligible public health problem in the UK, providing milk is pasteurized. Bovine TB is very rarely spread by aerosol from cattle to humans. Therefore, the bovine tuberculosis control programme in the UK in its present form is a misallocation of resources and provides no benefit to society. Indeed, there is even very little evidence of a positive cost benefit to the livestock industry, as few studies have been undertaken on the direct costs of bovine TB to animal production. Milk pasteurisation was the single public health intervention that prevented the transmission of bovine TB to humans, and there is no justification for the present test and cull policy in the UK.[21]
United States of America
In the United States, there is endemic M. bovis in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in the northeastern portion of the state of Michigan and in northern Minnesota, and sporadic import of the disease from Mexico. The white-tailed deer has been confirmed as the sole maintenance host in the Michigan outbreak of bovine tuberculosis which remains a significant barrier to the US nationwide eradication of the disease in livestock. In 2008, 733,998 licensed deer hunters harvested approximately 489,922 white-tailed deer in attempts to control the disease spread. These hunters purchased more than 1.5 million deer harvest tags. The economic value of deer hunting to Michigan's economy in the drive to eradicate TB is substantial. For example, in 2006, hunters spent US$507 million hunting white-tailed deer in Michigan.[22]
The disease is found in cattle throughout the globe, but some countries have been able to reduce or limit the incidence of the disease through process of 'test and cull' of the cattle stock. Most of Europe and several Caribbean countries (including Cuba) are virtually free of M. bovis. Australia is officially free of the disease since the successful BTEC program, but residual infections might exist in feral water buffalo in isolated parts of the Northern Territory. In Canada, there are affected wild elk and white-tailed deer in and around Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba. To improve control and eliminate bovine TB, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has split Manitoba into two management areas: The Riding Mountain TB eradication area (RMEA), the area where the disease has been found and the Manitoba TB Eradication Area (MTEA), the rest of the province outside RMEA where the disease has not been found.[23] The disease has also been found in wild buffalo in South Africa.
Mycobacterium bovis can be transmitted from human to human; there was an outbreak in Birmingham, England in 2004,[24] and from human to cattle,[25][26] but such occurrences are rare.
M. bovis is innately resistant to pyrazinamide: therefore the standard treatment is isoniazid and rifampicin for 9 months. However, most cattle with TB will be culled.

I have always considered that the essence of what defines a person's intellect to be either engaging or as dull as an Australian politician is the degree of reflexivity inherent in that intellect. A reflexive intellect is one that recognises that other points of view are not only possible, but that you might actually be wrong!. And if you are open to the possibilities of being wrong, you are likely to be open to the possibilities of learning! I enjoy the company and conversation of people who genuinely enjoy being challenged by new ideas and/or having existing mental models challenged. I don't enjoy any kind of conversation with people who have closed minds. But then again, the latter usually only converse with rubber stamps or tick boxes to be checked.
This is quite pathological with me. I really, really, do not enjoy the company of dull witted types who's idea of argument is to put a position on the table and then proceed to stick their fingers in their ears while you waste your time arguing to the contrary. Or worse, who don't bother to reason why I might be wrong other than to say that I am wrong and that my arguments are 'bull'…
I know more than a few people like this. Sometimes they have other redeeming characteristics. Usually they don't. But things get really bad when these dull wits have managed to sludge their way into some sort of empowerment wherein their stupefyingly robotic mental models can be asserted over others. My local council (The Armidale Dumaresq Council) is utterly bloated with this kind of stupefying dullard. You will know the kind immediately, I am sure. These are the kind who claim that we must comply with some inane regulation or requirement 'because the rules say so'.
My last encounter with the Planning staff at this council left me looking up membership forms for the Misanthropist Society. We had a road that connected to a new house we wanted to build. But that road did not have clearly specified access rights (despite the fact that it was our road on our land). So this asylum for the mentally deranged decided we had to build a new road at the cost of $20,000 or be refused permission to occupy our new house. I had a one hour conversation with the head Planner involved. I wanted to know why we couldn't use our existing road to access our new house. 'Because it is illegal'. Why? Because it is illegal. Why is it illegal? Because it is. But why? Because the title deeds don't specify your rights of access. But it is our land and our road. Does not matter, the Title Deeds don't say so. Well, add some words to the Deeds. Can't. Why? Because. Why? … In the end we had to build a new road because us spending $20,000 was easier for Council then it was for Council to add those words to the Deeds. Why? Because no one knew how. There was no real pathway with neon sign posts to show these dim wits how to proceed. No path, no journey. You can't expect a robot to clear a new path when his programming neglects to support a challenge such as active thought.
My one time university (the University of New England) was also bloated by mental unimpressives of this kind. The second from last boss of that now appalling degree-factory-with-delusions-to-relevance operated on the astoundingly inane premise that whatever happened in his last university should now happen to the one over which he now had the reins: to shut down any research group not in a faculty silo. Why? Because! That's why. So out I went along with all my students. It might sound strange, but I found as big a dearth of intelligent life at that university as I found at our local Council. The dullards are in control. One place feeds the other. Literally.
And here is the rub. When the dullards mange to grab empowerment, they empower themselves over recruitment. And if there is one thing a dullard likes is even duller dullards under him or herself to control. So recruitment processes proceed along the lines of an ever descending spiral of stupidity until the point when an entire organisation becomes one big turgid bloat of dullards with the collective intellectual breadth of a beach sponge. Professors who should inspire us with the mind of a mental gymnast are, instead, more like the intellect in your local Automatic Teller Machine. Try to conduct an intellectually provocative argument with an ATM and you will just have your card confiscated. Try to conduct and intellectually provocative argument with one of these new generation professors and you will have your career terminated. Just like happened to me.
You can understand why the robot brains are taking over. If you are in charge of an organisation, and you have a mind with less capacity for intellectual creativity than a traffic light, you will hardly be wanting to appoint more creative thinkers than you as your deputies, will you! I reckon you can always pick the character of an organisation through interviewing that organisation's leader. I should have known my career was on the skids when I first met this new university head. I have met more inspiring carrots. I should have known we were in for it with our new house when I first met the General Manager and the Mayor of our so-called local council. The intellectual lights are definitely out in both organisations.
Yes, dullards can be dangerous.
Cycling, for me, is my escape. This is just about the only place where I can fly outside the gravitational anchors of the robo-brained dull-wits-in-charge.
Think about it. Just imagine being allowed to take a F1 grand prix car out for a spin on a public road. Yeah right. But that's precisely what we can do with our Pro-Tour racing bikes. Breathtaking!
Yes, we have to wear helmets, and have to obey the traffic rules. But, for most practical purposes, we can ride at the limits of our power and still stay legal. Try that in a car. Even if we do speed, we are not required to have a speedometer on-board so can plead ignorance (despite the Garmin 510 with second by second incriminating evidence if only Mr Plod knew…). We don't have to ride with a number! Where else in society can we play without a number through which rule enforcers can enforce their rule? We can get away with things like carbon wheel braking (aka, no brakes when it rains) and glue on tyres. We can avoid obstacles that leave the car trolls holed up for hours simply by dismounting, hopping a fence or barrier, or weaving through the metallic mess they cause when they bash into each other rather than into us. Just imagine having to have our bikes inspected by bureaucrats with clip boards once a year. Just imagine if the OH&S ATM Brains were put in charge of designing road rules for cyclists and the bikes we ride. Just imagine what an OH&S bicycle would look like!! Just imagine how it would ride…
And then there is the breathtaking lack of regulations over the engines we cyclists use. No emissions controls, no caps on horse power. No catalytic converters and silenced exhausts. Indeed, government campaigns exist to encourage us to keep adding ever more horses in our corsets. The world's most powerful cycling engine is every bit as legal as the most feeble. We don't have to pay penalty insurance premiums as our watts go up. We don't have to reduce our air intakes to constrain our power. Where else is power so unconstrained as it is for we cyclists? And, even if you don't consider regulations and rule making, where else does performance remain so unconstrained by use? With a car, engines wear out and servicing costs go up with use. By and large, for cyclists, increased use only makes us go faster and longer! (Within constraints, as Strava over-performers will no doubt confirm). Where else are the curves for costs and rewards so skewed in our favour as with cycling? Yes, cycling defies the axioms of economics in a most reassuring way!
Yes, we have many of the freedoms car drivers once had back in the 1950's and before. Yes, we are not entirely un-constrained. But those constraints are nowhere near as intrusive as they are for any other road user. Basically, I am amazed that in this era of robot-brained idiocracy that we are actually allowed to use the road at all. I certainly have encountered many many car drivers who are also amazed at this too; and do everything they can to redress the problem by trying to run us off the road.
Often times I think that riding my Wilier Zero.7 on the road is some kind of glorious aberration. I should enjoy it while I can, before the bureaucrats finally have their way. Can such an endeavour as riding a high performance bike on a public road really be a long-term pleasure? I ride like each day will be the last that such a thing will be allowed. Often, I think that riding is like receiving a lottery win on the wrong ticket. We have the money but surely, someone will pick up on the mistake and ask for the money to be returned. Can such a pleasure that is so profoundly at odds with the ordered, rule-bound machine world of bureaucracy continue so profoundly under the radar of its reach? I ride like someone who has stolen something. I am getting so paranoid that I even feel guilty after a fast hard ride. What? Haven't they banned this yet? Really? Wow. Off for another ride before some bureau-brain fills this hole in the social fabric matrix of our machine ruled world.
I know I am being controversial, but I think we are getting dangerously close to the end-of-cycling-days every time some bureaucrat orders the construction of a new cycleway.
Maybe cycle ways work where you are, but around here they are simply an exercise of bureaucratic contempt; an exercise in 'harmonising' we cyclists into the matrix of ordered rules that has squashed the life out of everything else that once gave us pleasure. Building a cycle way usually involves painting a stencilled bicycle logo on what was otherwise the shoulder of a road. We are then expected to cycle on the glass/gravel detritus that car drivers effuse as part of the pollution package they dump wherever they go. We are expected to ride on road shoulders used by cars to park or otherwise decompose. Worse still, we are expected to share these 'cycleways' with pedestrians, wobbling casual pre-cyclists and worst of all, ebikers!; and all at speeds half that at which we can cruise on the road. My main worry is that once installed, the legislators frequently insist that we have to use a cycleway when one is available. I am not going to start riding a pedestrian infested gravel trap on my 120psi 23c tyres any time soon.
But where there is a cloud, the sun also often shines. I dream of the 'metre matters' metric being turned into law. Just imagine if the car trolls could actually be fined for brushing our handle bars or wing mirroring us into a ditch. This would be a veritable culture shifting catalyst for driver behaviour, especially if that new rule were to be ruthlessly enforced. I am sure the very next must have gadget for our handlebars would be a combination one metre radar detector and number plate recording device with satellite streaming to police stations everywhere! I can dream, can't I?
I rather suspect that the reason for our relative freedoms on the road is more to do with the 'monolith effect' than it is to do with any laxities in rule maker diligence. By monolith I refer to that wondrous black slab that appears in front of the pre-bone weilding cave men in the film 2001. Any attempt to control we cyclists with the comforts of deep litter rules must hurt the brains of diligent mono-tracking rule makers just like making sense of the black monolith must have been to those pre-historic man-apes in the film. But once they did consider and enter the gateway, evolution went through a worm drive upgrade. I wonder what kind of a brain shift might happen to otherwise rule-bound dull thinking bureaucrats should they fall through the monolith into a life of active cycling. I rather think the effect would be like flying. They would be reborn in some mysterious hotel room into the higher plane of creative, reflexive thinking that had hitherto been evolutionarily denied by the dystopian rule-bound bog within which they currently primordially wallow.

Watching and countering the industry
Understanding the tobacco industry's practices is crucial for the success of tobacco control policies. In this context, it's important also to understand that tobacco products are the only legally available products that can kill up to one half of their regular users if consumed as recommended by the manufacturer. In recognition of this reality, WHO, following the Member States' mandate, monitors and draws global attention to the activities and practices of the tobacco industry. It does so in conformity with World Health Assembly Resolution 54.18 and the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC).
There are two significant components of this monitoring process: surveillance and regulation.
Under surveillance, WHO engages in ongoing efforts to monitor, and to counter, as appropriate, activities of the tobacco industry to interfere with public health policy-making. It also publishes reports and maintains a database of activities, efforts and campaigns by the tobacco industry to undermine global tobacco control.
Under regulation, WHO, through its networks, assists in efforts to regulate the contents and emissions and the packaging and labelling of tobacco products. Two of these networks are the WHO Study Group on Tobacco Product Regulation (TobReg), established in 2003 by the Director-General, and the WHO Tobacco Laboratory Network (TobLabNet), established in 2005 in line with the aims and objectives of the WHO FCTC.

In a previous article, I introduced five simple ways to boost cycling power. These included riding in bigger gears, riding uphill, riding into headwinds, using block training and following the 75 percent rule.
Once you've got down the basics, take your cycling to the next level with these five more advanced ways to increase power on the bike.
More: 4 Tips for Using a Power Meter Wisely
Power Bursts
Power bursts are a great way to increase your leg strength and muscular endurance, which is the ability to pedal a relatively large gear at a moderate cadence (i.e., force generation). It's a versatile workout that you can complete on any terrain. Begin by warming up thoroughly. This should include easy spinning as well as a few pulls in bigger gears to prepare your legs.
The warm-up is critical because of the stress placed on the knees due to the use of relatively large gears. Begin each power burst by spinning at a very low cadence (i.e., coasting) and speed. Shift to your big gear (e.g., 53 x 12) and while seated, pedal as hard as you can until you reach 80 rpm. This should take about 15 seconds. Shift to a small gear and spin easy for three minutes at 90 rpm. Repeat 10 times and build up to 15 power bursts per session.
More: Going Uphill Fast With Power
Cadence Intervals
Another way to increase power is to elevate your pedal cadence. You can do this with cadence intervals, which is a moderate intensity workout that will improve your neuromuscular coordination (i.e., improved coordination and cooperation between the muscles that enhance your ability to pedal at a very high rate).
To do this workout, use a relatively small gear that allows you to train at 85 to 95 percent of your lactate threshold heart rate (75 to 90 percent of your functional threshold power) while pedaling a cadence of 100 to 110 rpm. Start with 3 x 8 minutes and increase the length of the hard efforts until you can complete 3 x 15 minutes with five minutes of recovery.
More: Power Up With Tempo Intervals
Ride Long DistancesLong rides improve your aerobic and muscular endurance. More than that, they stress your cardiovascular and muscular systems in a way that facilitates the physiological adaptation process. Long rides are the most effective way to increase training volume and stress; however, keep two points in mind.
First, long is a relative term. If your longest ride to date is two hours, completing a three hour ride will have a significant impact. Likewise, if you routinely complete four hour rides, keep working until you can finish a five- or six- hour jaunt. Second, you don't have to complete a long ride every week. A long day in the saddle every three or four weeks will have a significant impact on your power output and overall fitness.

I love cucumbers, but sometimes it's hard to figure out what to do with them. When I get them from the farmer's market, a lot of the time I just slice and eat them with a little salad dressing or tomato sauce (sounds gross, but it's really good). But I wanted to do something a little special for this recipe.
And what's better, in the summer, than a chilled soup? It's easy to prepare ahead of time, and it's colorful, fresh and delicious. I thought about naming this "diet soup" because it's so low-calorie, but it's only diet-type food by accident. It's really so flavorful on it's own that extra fat wasn't necessary.
You could make this soup a little heartier by scooping out the seeds in the cucumbers, but I like it a little bit thin. I think this would make a great recipe for a light lunch or quick snack, since it's really too easy to make — if I had a "5 minutes or less" category on this website, this recipe would be filed there.
So if you have a few leftover mid-summer cucumbers in your fridge and you're wondering what to do with them, this is a fun, easy, and extremely healthy option.

Cucumber Gazpacho
2 small shallots
1 large clove garlic
2 tsp olive oil
1 large cucumber, cut into 1″ sections
1 large anaheim pepper (I found these at the farmer's market and love them!)
2 tsp good balsamic vinegar
1 tsp sea salt, or more to your preference
Saute the shallot and garlic over medium heat for about 3 minutes, until shallots have broken down and turned translucent. Meanwhile, cut the anaheim pepper into slices and remove all its seeds.
In a large food processor, puree the shallots, garlic, cucumber, pepper, vinegar, and salt together for about 2 minutes. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Pulse again, and serve.
Serves 2-3 as a side dish or first course.

IT Recruitment Consultant
I am a real people person and spent over a decade in language studies, coaching and sales. I have a Bachelor's degree in Languages and Literature, a Master's degree in English and a PhD in Translation studies (#nerd). However, a serendipitous event got me into IT recruitment. And I'm loving it! Why? Recruiting has allowed me to leverage my passion for building and maintaining rewarding relationships with my clients while remaining challenged to find the perfect candidates and, in my case, it has also allowed me to keep updated with all the technology trends out there. I take pride in ensuring that placements are a strong match for both parties. There's nothing more exciting than helping smart people find their next challenge. If I'm not working, I'm probably learning a new language, enjoying a glass of nice champagne or traveling. Also, I love meeting new people and learning new things, so feel free to connect and share your experience. :) If you are looking at hiring or contemplating your next career move in IT hit me up on firstname.lastname@example.com.

Help leaders broaden their personal horizon, provide a stronger base from which to think of a vision for their teams, their organizations, and their communities.
This is a self-conducted exercise. Print out a copy of the worksheet for each participant to complete in a workshop, during a one-on-one coaching session, or as a takeaway from either. A short debrief conversation can follow the completion of the worksheet in live sessions.
Envision Your Future Worksheet
"Leadership is a personal endeavor. The number one thing we look for in a leader is credibility — that quality of being authentic, of having belief, word, and action in alignment."
A useful component of envisioning the future of your organization is to think hard about where you are going. An honest exploration of your personal vision will give credibility to any vision in which you wish to involve others.
- If you could lead anything, what would it be?
- Where do you see yourself in five years? What will you be doing, and with whom?
- What is your ideal personal future?
- Picture the party to celebrate your retirement after a long and distinguished career. Who will be there? What will people be saying about you?
- What legacy would you like to leave to your company, your family, and your community?
Adapted from The Leadership Challenge Vision Book by Jim Kouzes, Barry Posner, and Dan Schwab.

Millville, MN – Husaberg Factory rider Nick Fahringer finished 3rd overall at the sixth round of the OMA's held at Spring Creek MX Park.
Fahringer got off to a 3rd place start and was passed in one of the opening corners by another rider. "Unfortunately, I got passed quickly in the race and then struggled to get back around the rider," stated Fahringer. "After about a lap and a half I was able to pass back into 3rd but I had lost a lot of time to the leaders at that point."
Fahringer continued to plug away on the tough, technical track in the exhausting heat. At the end of the race, he was able to hang on to 3rd place to position his Husaberg on the podium. Fahringer will now head to Pennsylvania this weekend in order to compete in the seventh round of the AMA National Enduro Series where he is currently 5th overall in series point standings.

One of the more exciting upcoming features of Farsight is the ability to change the amount of required bandwidth depending on network conditions. Which means Telepathy based VoIP clients will be able to use higher resolutions and better audio/video quality if the network connectivity allows. And ofcourse, when the available bandwidth is low, the bandwidth usage can be lowered such that calls are still possible with lower but hopefully still acceptable quality.
One side of the full story is measuring the available bandwidth, which hopefully Olivier will tell at some point. The other part is actually using less bandwidth. In case technical details are not that interesting to you, probably best to stop reading at this point..
An important way to control the bandwidth we're using in a call is setting the target bitrate on the encoding GStreamer element. While previously it was enough for us to set the bitrate before encoding started, we now need to be able to change it at runtime. And not only that, the codec implementation should ideally respond within a few frames and have a reasonable constant per-frame size.
All in all, a lot of requirements on codecs we didn't really have before. Which usually means we need to retest the various codecs we often use and make sure we configure them correctly for the behaviour we'd like to see (and fix them if necessary). To do this I've written a small test program, which simply changes the target bitrate over time and outputs some numbers suitable to feed into gnuplot to turn into graphs.
For example, when using x264enc with the current default farsight settings a part of the resulting graph looks something like this (full graph here):
The blue impulses is the per-frame size (scaled), the green line the bitrate average over 10 frames and the red line the target bitrate. Clearly this isn't an ideal picture, we will need to do some more tweaks to our default settings to make x264 behave the way we want. The same will be true for all other codecs and codec elements, at the moment the GStreamer VP8 element doesn't handle run-time bitrate changes at all and the Theora element acts it its very own interesting way (graph here)
While trying the new Meego Tablet preview today the cat of some of my friends was nice enough to provide support for the ExoPC during the initial installation..
I can recommend some feline assistance whenever installing things on an ExoPC.
Since some time the good people at NlNet have been sponsoring Collabora to add multi-party audio/video calling to XMPP and do an implementation of this in Telepathy. This project is otherwise known as Muji.
This work has resulted in:
- an experimental XMPP extension called Muji
- a new and more modern telepathy API for doing calls (currently still in draft), which allows multi-party calls as well as adding the possibility to support call forking (ringing multiple remote devices, call goes to the one that's picked up first).
- An implementation of both of these in telepathy-gabble
- A small telepathy client for testing and demo purposes.
To proof it actually works, a nice screenshot of the demo client in a 4-way call:
The screenshot is featuring myself in Collabora's UK office (top-left), Robert McQueen from a hotelroom in Taipei (top-right), Will Thompson and Magical trevor also from the Collabora UK office (bottom-left) and Mike Ruprecht from somewhere in Missouri. So we were quite spread out over our little planet. Both audio and video quality was quite good, even though the network in robs hotel was a bit flaky from time to time.
In case you want to try it out have a look at the MujiDemoClient page.
Yesterday Google announced the WebM Project, giving the world a new open and royalty-free video codec called VP8. Thanks to Collabora Multimedia and Entropy Wave support for it landed in gstreamer git shortly after the announcement.
In Telepathy we quite like video conferencing, so as a logical next step i quickly put together some proof of concept RTP payloading elements for Gstreamer with the obvious result:
The screenshot isn't very exciting, which is exactly how it should be. In the world i would like to live in people don't have to care about video codecs, whether it is for video calls, playing online media or whatever else they want to do with video. Looking at the list of supporters for the WebM project this may actually happen and that in my opinion is much is actually the most important aspect of it all.
The most important aspect that is missing at this point to bring VP8 as the video calling codec to the world is the lack of a standard RTP specification. Which is something we will hopefully start working on with various other parties in the WebM project reasonably soon. For now if you want to feel cutting edge get Empathy from git master and my rtp elements. To give things a first try

Pratt & Whitney AeroPower Employees Support United Way's Virtual Book Drive
Nearly two dozen Pratt & Whitney AeroPower employees joined forces with the United Way on June 21 during an annual Virtual Book Drive that provided thousands of summer reading books to low-income children throughout San Diego County.
P&W AeroPower donated over 2,000 bilingual books to the virtual drive, which kicked off in March and was targeted to children ages three to eight. As part of the United Way's Day of Action - the culmination of the book drive - employees packaged the books and wrote inspirational notes to encourage children to foster a love of reading.
"We are very proud to contribute to this worthy cause and ensure local children have access to books during the summer months," said Eileen P. Drake, vice president and general manager, Pratt & Whitney AeroPower. "A big thanks goes out to all our employees who graciously donated their time and energy to help make a difference in the community."
P&W AeroPower was one of three major company sponsors for the San Diego Virtual Book Drive; the others were Geico and California American Water. During the Day of Action, which was held at the Jacob & Cushman Food Bank, approximately 10 organizations were on hand to package more than 4,000 books, with each group working on assembly lines set up at three tables. The volunteers stuffed bookmarks and parenting tip flyers into the books, and then packed the bags into crates for distribution to the children.
"In the spirit of competitiveness with the other companies, we took full advantage of our manufacturing experience to ensure a seamless, efficient process," said Scott Hasser, manager, Supplier Quality, P&W AeroPower. "It was also a great opportunity to interact with employees at all levels on a personal basis, from our senior leaders to shop floor workers."
Tom Diot, turbine technician and shop lead, noted that the P&W AeroPower volunteers worked hard yet had fun. "It was a true teamwork effort and very enjoyable. In fact, our company team finished first because we treated this as a manufacturing process - even jokingly using terminology such as 'turn back' if a bookmark, for instance, was not placed in the book prior to stuffing it into a bag."
Prior to the Day of Action, all P&W AeroPower employees were asked to write inspirational notes on the bookmarks, including messages such as "Reading takes you places you've never been before," and "You travel to magical places with a book."
"It was particularly rewarding knowing that these gifts will represent the very first book for many children," said Diot. "It was a real pleasure having this opportunity to make a positive impact on children's lives in our community by encouraging them to read and continue learning during the summer."
According to the United Way, more than 24 percent of San Diego County fourth graders are not reading proficiently and over half of the county's students are considered "economically disadvantaged." Since fourth grade is a critical year when children switch from "learning to read" to "reading to learn," the drive was targeted to kindergartners through third-graders. In total, the Virtual Book Drive raised enough funds to purchase over 25,000 books, with each book averaging only $2.50 each.
Proceeds from the book drive purchased five different books: "Are You My Mother?"/ "Eres Tú Mi Mama?"; "Gossie"/ "Gansi"; and "A Birthday Box"/ "Mi Caja de Cumpleaños" for children up to age three and "Big, Big Wall"/ "No Puedo Bajar" and "Daniel's Mystery Egg"/ "El Misterioso Huevo de Daniel."

RomneyCare: Making a Fool of Every Republican It Touches Since 2006
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's ® hearts former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney ®, so much that Christie says it is "completely intellectually dishonest" to compare RomneyCare to ObamaCare. Why? Because Romney didn't raise taxes, and President Obama did. Oh.
Avik (pronounced O‑vik) Roy explains how Christie gets RomneyCare so very, very wrong:
There isn't a single person, left or right, who follows health policy seriously who disagrees with the assertion that Romneycare was the model for Obamacare. And Massachusetts has had to raise taxes, after Romney left office, to pay for the law's significant cost overruns.
Here are some examples, left and right. But Roy o‑mits a few important points.
- Mitt Romney increased taxes the moment he signed RomneyCare. RomneyCare increased net government spending. That in itself is an increase in the tax burden. All that remains to be determined is who will pay for that added spending and when they will pay it. The fact that the incidence of that added tax burden fell after Romney left office does not mean that's when the added tax burden was created.
- Mitt Romney has raised taxes on as many people as Barack Obama has. Half of RomneyCare's new spending was financed by the federal government through the Medicaid program, which is financed through federal taxes, which fall on taxpayers in all 50 states. That means that when Romney financed half of RomneyCare's new spending by pulling down more federal Medicaid dollars, he increased taxes on residents of all 50 states.
- RomneyCare was born of, and expanded, a corrupt scheme by Massachusetts politicians to tax residents of all 50 states. What motivated Romney to enact RomneyCare, as former Romney/Obama adviser Jonathan Gruber explains here, was the widespread desire (within Massachusetts) to hang on to $385 million of federal Medicaid money that Massachusetts had secured using one of Medicaid's notorious and fraudulent "provider tax" scams. In other words, the whole purpose of RomneyCare was to enable Massachusetts to hold on to $385 million that it received by defrauding and taxing residents of other states. And of course, Romney/RomneyCare caused the tax burden that Massachusetts effectively imposes on non‐Massachusetts residents to grow.
divChristie is so laughably wrong about RomneyCare that one cannot help but smile that his remarks came during the same news cycle as this:
Newly obtained White House records… show that senior White House officials had a dozen meetings in 2009 with three health‐care advisers and experts who helped shape the health care reform law signed by Romney in 2006…One of those meetings, on July 20, 2009, was in the Oval Office and presided over by President Barack Obama, the records show.
"The White House wanted to lean a lot on what we'd done in Massachusetts," said Jon Gruber, an MIT economist who advised the Romney administration on health care and who attended five meetings at the Obama White House in 2009, including the meeting with the president. "They really wanted to know how we can take that same approach we used in Massachusetts and turn that into a national model"…
Romney said the people involved in the White House meetings were "consultants," not "aides"…
[Gruber said,] "If Mitt Romney had not stood up for this reform in Massachusetts … I don't think it would have happened nationally. So I think he really is the guy with whom it all starts."
All of which is pretty much what my colleague/boss David Boaz and I have been saying since April 2010 in this well‐worn Cato video:

Design previews/Artwork before ordering
For the majority of the plaque signs I will email artwork for approval before I manufacture within 5 working days of the order being placed. It states on the individual listings which plaques this applies to.
A portion of the sign price covers my designing time, it is not possible for me to artwork bespoke signs unless they have been paid for with an order first.
Choosing a font
Please choose one font for your sign when placing your order. I am happy to send a few different layouts if required. If you can't decide on one font please contact me to discuss additional designing fees applicable for additional fonts.
Other materials

The majority of my house signs use matte acrylic (PMMA) which is made to be used outdoors, it will not fade and will resist many different types of weather for many years. Some of the signs can use a 'vinyl' backing to give them a colour (only used for fonts) this material is also designed for outdoor use and is used on commercial signs and vehicles to sign write company logos and designs.
Where do I leave the address required
Please leave the font choice, the number and house name required on the sign in the notes to seller box, this can be found at the end of the payment stage.
As my house signs are bespoke, part of the price you are paying for is my design services and my time. I have to spend time designing each address and layout which is unique to you and your order. When purchasing these items it is not possible to cancel the order at any point.
