When you're training hard, hitting a training plateau can be incredibly frustrating. But first of all, let's hit on an important distinction. A training 'slump' and a training 'plateau' are two different things... I go into detail about the differences between slumps and plateaus in this article here, but basically a slump is a relatively short-lived event, one to four weeks long, in … [Read more...]
McGregor vs Mayweather: Don't Waste Your Money
Unless you've been living under a rock you know that Conor McGregor, the reigning light-heavyweight UFC champion, is going to be fighting one of the all time best boxers Floyd Mayweather on August 26th.\ I know people are excited about this, because I get asked about it every single day... McGregor is younger, bigger, cockier, is a southpaw and has proven knockout power. But is he going … [Read more...]
Don't Be Afraid of Admitting that You Don't Know Everything
This is rant was brewing inside me for a long time, and I'm sure it'll upset some people and ruffle some feathers. Oh well, can't make an omlette without breaking a few eggs, so I'll get over it... I did the rant in video form, and the full name of that video is "Don't Bullshit Your Students About Knowing Everything!" which pretty much sums it up! The humility to admit that you don't know … [Read more...]

A Musician's Perspective on Studying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
By Jeff Marder I've been a musician for as long as I can remember, and have been playing professionally for over thirty years. My primary focus is playing keyboards, conducting, and doing electronic music design for Broadway productions, although along the way I've also played a lot of jazz, classical, and spent three years in Las Vegas playing keyboards on a Cirque du Soleil … [Read more...]
Grappling Styles of the Pacific
by Jeff Meszaros Our around-the-world trip is nearly at an end. First, we took a spin through Asia. Then we hit the grappling styles of Europe. Then we did a tour of the various U.K. wrestling systems. After that, we headed south for a look at Africa and South America, and then back north up through North America, where we left off with trying hockey in Canada. (Sure, you could make the … [Read more...]
Blood, Sweat and… Sparta!!!
This may sound a bit weird coming from a guy who runs a grappling site, but I want you to ask yourself a question: why on earth are you spending hours and hours rolling around on the ground with men wearing spandex and/or pajamas? Really… I mean it's not the easiest of activities. And it's sweaty and sometimes it's even painful… Obviously there are self defense benefits to training, but if … [Read more...]
Every Martial Art Consists of These 3 Things…
I'm primarily known as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, but the reality is that I've trained in a lot of other martial arts too. These other martial arts include Combat Submission Wrestling, Kajukenbo Karate, Boxing, Wing Chun, Judo, Muay Thai, Hung Gar, Pekiti Tirsia Kali, Hsing I, Northern Shaolin, Maphalindo Silat, Capoeira, Tai Chi, Western Fencing, Freestyle Wrestling, Jun Fan/JKD, … [Read more...]
'Twas the Day and the Night Before Christmas…
So about a year ago a semi-annual tradition got started... The way it works is that every 6 months the toughest woman I know and I do a one day, 30 mile hike through the mountains with a TON of elevation gain and loss. It's up and up and up and then down and down and down... We call it the 'Deathmarch' and it's a ton of fun. Here's a video I put together using photos and snapchat videos … [Read more...]
What To Do When Your Mind Goes Blank While Sparring or Competing
Lots of grapplers run into the problem of their mind going blank when they're sparring or competing. In a class setting they might be able to bang out repetitions of techniques, demonstrate combos, and flow with the go like nobody's business, but as soon as they hit the mats to actually roll, well, all of a sudden they have absolutely no idea about what they should be doing. This … [Read more...]
Neck Harness Trials
A strong neck is essential for BJJ and grappling. Obviously a strong neck is simply harder to choke, but that's not the end of the matter… A strong neck also helps you maintain good posture when standing and in the guard, and high level grapplers inevitably use the head as a fifth limb. (If you've ever had a skilled wrestler in your guard then you probably know what I'm talking about, … [Read more...]
Grappling Styles of Africa, South and North America
by Jeff Meszaros On our worldwide survey of different grappling systems started by doing the grappling tour of Asia, training and competing in every country along the way. We started with Japanese judo and ended with Turkish oil wrestling. Then, we covered indigenous grappling systems in Europe, going from Greek pankration to Icelandic glima. Then we moved on to the U.K, trying out the … [Read more...]
What Techniques Do You Need to Know for Your Blue Belt
Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a relatively disorganised and highly variable sport. This is most evident when you start looking at belt promotion requirements. The belts in BJJ go white, blue, purple, brown and black, with the first four belts typically having 4 stripes each and the black belt having 10 degrees. However the number of degrees in a black belt is getting way ahead of ourselves, … [Read more...]

10 Key Techniques and Tactics of Marcelo Garcia
Marcelo Garcia is probably the most dominant jiu-jitsu athlete of the last 15 years. When he was competing he owned both the gi and the no gi divisions (4 x ADCC champion, 5 x Mundial World Champion). As if that wasn't enough, his amazing performances in the absolute division against giants like Ricco Rodriguez have ensured his place in grappling history. It's always a good idea to … [Read more...]
Cauliflower Ear Prevention in BJJ
Let's talk about how NOT to end up with cauliflower ear when you're doing BJJ. (You know what cauliflower ear is, right? It's when you end up with lumpy cancerous potato looking things on either side of your head.) Personally I am less than thrilled by the possibility of acquiring a giant lumps on either side of my head because I've always had large ears. Supposedly when my grandmother … [Read more...]
How to Train When You Have No Time
Whether you're working a full time job, a parent with a couple of kids, or a student juggling a crazy class schedule, almost everyone is really busy these days. And if you're also trying to squeeze regular training into that busy schedule, well, things can end up in the ludicrous zone pretty quickly... I'm no exception: of course I'm running Grapplearts, training in BJJ and trying not to … [Read more...]
A Guide to Grappling Gear
You're training in a sport that, at its core, consists of two human beings rolling around trying to submit one another. This all seems very simple, and you don't need a lot of gear to get started other than a mat (and maybe a gi). But In this article I am going to discuss a few additional items might make your time on the mats more enjoyable and productive. The MOST Important Training Gear of … [Read more...]

BREAKING NEWS: Rare German Jiu-Jitsu Footage Discovered, Changes Martial Arts Forever
In the extensive Grapplearts video vaults I recently discovered rare archival footage of an incredibly deadly martial art that I had somehow missed...

Watch the video below and tell me if … [Read more...]

Normally people would not describe sleep apnea as being dangerous. However, if you were to consult a doctor, they'd tell you that sleep apnea could be a predecessor of more serious and potentially life-threatening health conditions. Sleep apnea occurs when you stop breathing during sleep and oxygen is cut off from your brain. It can also lead to severe health problems such as heart disease, obesity, fatigue, obesity, and high blood pressure. What's worse is that most people don't even know they have the condition.
Research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal discusses how people with sleep apnea may also be more likely to contract pneumonia. The study lasted over ten years, and researchers analyzed a total of 34,100 patients. The results of the study were surprising.
Almost 10 percent of patients with sleep apnea caught pneumonia, compared to 7 percent of participants who did not have any sleep or health disorders. Patients with sleep apnea also had a higher chance of contracting pneumonia in the future.
Aesthetic Dental Care of New Jersey offers innovative sleep dentistry solutions for patients who have trouble sleeping. If you are suffering from sleep apnea and would like to seek treatment, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Jerry Strauss.

Yesterday, i read an article which appeared to leak a preview of the long-awaited National Digital Strategy for Scotland (updated).
I really do hope that i am 'jumping the gun' here but the article did raise alarm bells for me.
Based on comments from a Government spokesperson, it appears that the updated strategy will focus on four main areas - a commitment to data sharing; collaboration across the public sector; the appointment of a Digital Leader; and industry, academia, government collaboration on the digital agenda.
Is that it? Is that our National Digital Strategy?
For the sake of the Scottish economy, employment and future competitveness, i really do hope that i am wrong here.
Developing story.......
Take care.

With the whole myriad of things I've been taking on…. having kids, cloth nappies, cooking, sewing, blogging, running a family day care… it's crazy how I'm still managing to juggle it all and keep all the balls going.
Sometimes I wonder if I've now become one of those women we love to hate. But the truth is, behind that seemingly pristine looking front, is a huge mess of dropped balls all over the place.
Family meal at the kids table
So here is an honest reveal of the reality behind my shiny looking blog…
I now make my family live straight out laundry baskets to save time on folding clothes. I blame this inspiring article. As long as no one is
noticingmentioning the wrinkles, I think we're good.
Our dining table is now gathering dust because we've started eating together at the kids table in the kitchen to save time on cleaning up. I figured it doesn't matter where we eat, as long as we're all together as a family.
I sometimes eat standing up in the kitchen and cook or wash dishes in between bites.
I served up spaghetti bolognaise three meals in a row last week.
I probably only shaved my legs just twice this entire past summer.
I realise that in an effort to keep the whole clockwork as a whole moving forward, I have to let a few balls drop here and there…. as long I keep holding on to the important 'balls' in my life.
Three important 'balls' in my life
Do some folks see you one of those women or mums others love to hate? Maybe you are just a really good juggler? How do you manage to keep all the balls up in the air? Or what balls have you decided to let drop and which ones have you decided to keep?

Posted by GameDemon in Tokyo Ghoul | 0 Comments
Tokyo Ghoul episode 11
Yeah, okay, bite me. We are eleven weeks in and Ken is still extremely weak. He can't do anything, he can't say anything and he doesn't even try to escape his current predicament from what I've seen. I foresee a mediocre ending to be very honest.
Tokyo Ghoul had a powerful start. The horrific action captured the attention of many anime fans and a lot of them, including myself, are rather disappointed by how things played out. It is no secret that I'm a sucker for overpowered main characters, but to have the protagonist so laughingly weak that he can't even defend himself or try to escape somehow when he's being held in a room where some lunatic tortures him from time to time… Yeah, that is just shocking, especially if you consider that Ken, a rare one-eyed Ghoul, is supposed to be stronger than regular Ghouls, provided you believed what the other Ghoul, Itori, said a few episodes ago.
It really is sad that Touka and the rest of Anteiku had to gather in order to help save Ken, but to think that Shuu, an enemy whom we were led to believe was dead, showed up to help as well… What a disaster. Still, all will be forgiven if I get to see Yoshimura, the old man that owns that café, fight against a powerful opponent.
You know what I really disliked about this episode? I disliked the part where they finally gave us a glimpse of a white-haired Ken. They waited eleven weeks to show us that, and they only showed us at the very, very ending of the episode. We will actually have to wait until the next episode to see what has happened to Ken (probably got himself another personality due to that torture, just like that other Ghoul).

This is the month I turn 45! What better way for the Adventurous Writer to celebrate than with a new theme for my blogs? I've been "Putting Parables Into Practice" since the new year – I find parables, myths, and fables from all over the world, and use them to illustrate insights about life, work, love, health, etc.
For instance, I applied The Parable of the Hospital Window to my recent health problems. My ulcerative colitis has been flared for about six weeks, and I was inspired to write about how to stay positive when I'm sick.
My favourite parable is the one about The Tigers and the Strawberries – I shared that on Quips and Tips for Successful Writers, along with five tips for becoming a journalist.
The Parable of the Coconut also offered awesome insights into life, love, and relationships. Specifically, it was about waiting and letting the dust settle before you make any big decisions, or before you freak out about something that may or may not happen!
Hmmm…what else is new with me? I'm still The Adventurous Writer in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and I still never want to grow up 🙂
I've also been trying my hand at sending a Quips and Tips newsletter twice a month, but that's been a bit rocky. Sending newsletters isn't my strength – for some reason I just can't get comfortable emailing people directly. But I guess that's what being an adventurous writer is all about. Taking risks, pushing outside of comfort zones, and doing things that make me feel scared and insecure.
Your thoughts on taking risks, being an adventurous writer, Putting Parables Into Practice, living in Vancouver, or working towards a dream are welcome below! May you grow stronger and wiser, more peaceful and happy.

Talk about a terrible time to have to sell. On the same day that both CBS and Viacom warned on earnings -- sending their shares tumbling -- Chairman Sumner Redstone, through his National Amusements holding company, is selling $400 million worth of shares in the two companies. The firm will sell an equal dollar amount in both companies in order to pay down debt and stay in compliance with its credit agreement covenants. Taken on face value, that suggests the sale is obligatory, and not really a voluntary choice on Redstone's part.
The news could be contributing to the intense selling pressure on both companies. Viacom is down over 18 percent today, while CBS is down over 20 percent.

Rick asks me this question, via webform: "Hi Malc.. I love your outline in the videos of TSW. Absolutely following it all now. But I'm stuck with the e-mail client setup. I'm used to working with Apple Mail and you say in the Outlook setup that you'll get back to that in a later video. Then we go on to prepping Evernote.. Do you have a video on how to prep Apple Mail? Or gMail? Thanks."
Well, Rick, the answer is that neither Apple Mail or Gmail are very friendly to working with The Secret Weapon (or Timology, as I call my implementation which includes, but which is more than, The Secret Weapon approach). Unless they've changed thing sin the past year, since I last checked (probably not) these two email clients make it stupidly long winded to create a rule. And you need rules to get your "less-than-urgent" emails out of your main Inbox – to a secondary one. Once you have done this will all your non-urgent emails, you save tons of time by… Read more »
Dear Malc,
You've posted a video about setting up IMAP for outlook, and mention that this is feasible for Apple Mail too. How do I do it for Apple mail?
Hi Kirsten
I don't use IMAP myself, but my understanding is that, whereas POP3 downloads emails from wherever the server is to your PC (or device), IMAP leaves the email on the server until you read it: which enables you to check your email using different devices.
If you want to do that and aren't sure how I can only suggest you get a techie to help. Sorry I can't help more.
All the best

I love May in the gardens. A few Columbines are still hanging on, the summer lillies are showing their promise, and there's no more worries about frost. Here's what's been blooming:
Fire Pink
Rosa rugosa. You can smell them from six feet away.
Rose and Deptford Pinks.
The last of the Columbines.
The most expensive plant I've bought this year - and worth every penny!
Yellow Baptisia (Wild Indigo). I've been waiting for two weeks for these to bloom.
Baptisia close-up with bee.
The pansies will be done in about a week. These are hanging on because they're shaded for half the day.

60 Seconds with…Rachel Norman
Our '60 Seconds with…' blogs are designed to provide a quick run down of what our staff do here at Itad. Here is what Rachel had to say…
What's your job here at Itad?
I am Senior Consultant, providing maternity cover. As part of this role, I am the Deputy Programme Manager for the DFID WASH Results Programme and the Lead Evaluator for the Sanitation Challenge for Ghana (SC4G) Prize under the DFID funded, IMC Worldwide led, Ideas to Impact Programme.
What does that involve?
The Deputy Programme Manager for the DFID WASH Result MVE is a varied role, ranging from Quality Assurance of different reports, to being a sounding board for the wider programme team, support to the Programme Manager, engaging with the client (DFID), minute taking, troubleshooting, and participating in various learning events. In contrast as the Lead Evaluator for the SC4G the role is more specific and defined. There are of course moments of surprise, learning and reflection, however overall, with a Methods Note already set out, it is a case of delivering the task in hand.
How did you get into the field?
Since I can remember I have had an interest in international development and for almost as long, have wanted to contribute to the water and sanitation (WASH) sector. As I have gone through my education and career, my focus has been on wanting to learn more of the facets of monitoring and evaluation, and so in 2010, I embarked on a PhD in Monitoring Global Water and Sanitation. I suppose my first breakthrough in international development was by getting on the European Commission Stagiaire Programme, where I trod the corridors of the Directorate General for Development, for any opportunity possible to get overseas and work in the field. I was finally offered an opportunity and within the year was off to Liberia where I worked for 18 months.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
Having worked on my PhD and as an independent consultant for the past 6 years, I'd say one of the things I most enjoy about the job is working with a wide group of people both in a company context, and with the various independent consultants in the UK and around the rest of the world. Whilst I work the majority of time from my office base in Devon, Itad as an organisation certainly provides so many opportunities to make you feel like you're in a building next door, which to me is unique.
What new innovations/methods have you noticed in your sector?
The DFID WASH Results Programme is a Payments by Results (PBR) programme, which is relatively new in International Development, and specifically within the WASH sector, so it is interesting and exciting to have the opportunity to experience PBR from the side of verification.
Despite harmonisation and alignment, and aspects of institutional, financial, and environmental sustainability not being knew in the sector, as we move into the Sustainable Development Goals I believe these components will become more visible and new innovations will follow, for example, simplification and standardisation of monitoring indicators and associated methodologies.
Most interesting question you have been asked recently?
In general I find all questions interesting – whether I understand why someone is asking them or not is another story so to pin point the most interesting questions I've been asked recently is not an easy task! So I have to say, this question in its own right is probably the most interesting question I've been asked recently, and I mean the true definition of interesting, not the accentuated word 'interesting'!!! I'm now going to reflect a little more in what could be the second most interesting question I've been asked.
Favourite place you have visited as part of your job?
As part of my job with Itad, to date, I've visited Hove and London, so I'd have to say Hove/Brighton. In terms of my wider experience I very much enjoyed Swaziland and also Karamoja in Northern Uganda.

Display Manager Javascript Error
I am an ecart user on a mac (10.6.8) in Dreamweaver CS5. I am getting a javascript error when trying to enter the display manager on my cart page. The error states: While executing timer in WA eCart DisplayMgr.htm, the following Javascript error occurred: At line 710 of file eCartDesignObject.js invalid array length. I tried deleting the MacFileCache.dat file but that didn't work. I also uninstalled my ecart and universal email extensions and reloaded them then deleted the MacFileCache.dat again, but that didn't work either. I have used the Display Manager before on this web site, but didn't like the result and was trying to add another cart display when this error occurred. Can you give me any ideas on what is happening? Thanks for your help.

Florida State (13-6, 4-3) heads to PNC Arena to face N.C. State (13-7, 3-4) at 9 p.m. Wednesday. The game can be seen on the ACC Network.
1. Home Sweet Home
With four losses on its own court already this season, it may be a bit surprising that a taste of home is what may end up getting the Wolfpack back on its feet in conference play. But with a win tonight, the Wolfpack would have strung together three-straight wins in Raleigh and gotten itself back up to .500 in the ACC.
The run started with an improbable win against Maryland on Jan 20. The Wolfpack won 65-56 without the ACC�s leading scorer, T.J. Warren, who was out with an ankle injury. On Sunday, the Wolfpack won again, beating Georgia Tech 80-78 in overtime. Warren scored 20 points and scored the go-ahead bucket in overtime.
With a win against Florida State, the Wolfpack would move to 4-4 in league play and help erase the angst from its 1-4 ACC start.
2. Tortured history
While N.C. State holds a 28-22 edge in the all-time series, the recent history has been tilted toward the Seminoles. Florida State has won six of the last nine and four of its last five games in Raleigh.
The two teams split last season�s meeting with N.C. State taking an 84-66 win in Raleigh and losing 71-67 on the road.
3. About Florida State
While the Seminoles are languishing in the conference�s middle tier, their status may be a bit deceiving. Their three losses have come to two of the league�s more dangerous teams. Virginia got them twice and Duke beat them in Durham 78-56 on Saturday.
They already have road wins against Clemson and Miami.
Florida State is using much the same formula as Leonard Hamilton�s previous teams. The Seminoles feature balanced scoring and loads of size. Opponents shoot 37.2 percent against them � the best mark in the league � and they�re tied for lead in blocks per game.

The 7 Best Ramen Spots In Chicago
'Tis the season of rushing from one heated building to the next, of keeping our heads down and our minds trained on spring. And while it's never easy to endure another installment of cold-weather blues, there's a silver lining, one involving slow-simmered, slurpable, noodle-rich ramen — shining, gelatinous examples of which Chicago has in spades. Check out our faves and let them carry you through until balmy weather arrives.
Not everyone loves this hopping River North spot from Lettuce Entertain You, but the ramen (including both modern takes and traditional flavors) is solid. Grab a stool at a high table, order a frosted mug of Asahi and dig into the fried chicken and kimchi ramen, served (improbably) with buttered corn and fried garlic. Sounds strange? Trust us.
Ramen San is at 59 W. Hubbard Street.

Jebsen Industrial engages staff at its Quarterly Business Meeting
Four times a year, Jebsen Industrial people are invited to engage in a business conversation with their management team. The most recent Quarterly Business Meeting was held on Nov 20, 2015 with Managing Director Maximilian von Stillfried delivering key updates around the company's strategic direction, year-to-date business performance as well as staff engagement initiatives.
Staff responded well to Mr. von Stillfried's sharing of Jebsen Industrial's strategy map, which was assessed from the financial, customer, portfolio, infrastructure and resource management perspectives. According to feedback received, this gave staff greater clarity of the company's business direction and helped them understand the role they play in the company's success.
Mr von Stillfried also spent time updating staff on Jebsen's latest joint venture initiative, Zhuhai CleanOil, which was officially opened on Nov 4. This served to give staff a clearer understanding of the joint venture and its strategic relevance to the business.
The event was also an opportunity to take stock of the staff engagement activities that Jebsen Industrial has invested in, from its bi-annual Townhall Dialogue sessions and Skip Level Management Chit-Chat Sessions to social happenings like birthday parties, Happy Fridays and sales awards.
After the Quarterly Business Meeting, staff across Jebsen Industrial offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Guangzhou shared that they felt empowered by the knowledge and inspired to work together to achieve the company's business goals.

Tax Increases Can Lead to "Drastic Changes"
Yesterday Phil Mickelson hinted at "drastic changes" he will be making because of increasing federal, state and self-employment taxes. We're not sure what he means by that, but speculation includes possibly moving from his long-time home of California.
According to Phil, with the increases to all 3 of those tax rates, his total tax burden is pushing 63% of his income. This is the case with most athletes and entertainers. They pay in the highest rate brackets for federal, state, city and self-employment tax. We all know that the new federal rate is 39.6%, but don't forget the Medicare surtax, the lost itemized deductions and personal exemptions. California now went up to 13.3%. Self-employment tax is again back to 15.3% (2.9% for most of the income) and if you live in a city that taxes you – some up to 3% – you can see how it all adds up.
While drastic, it becomes understandable that people consider moving when you could save that much tax. If Phil makes $5,000,000 a year, let's ignore the significant endorsement income, his state tax savings alone could be over $650,000 a year if he moved to a state that doesn't have an income tax.
This poses an interesting question: would you move away from California? If you had enough money to live on, would you keep working if you could only keep 1/3 of your earnings? Let us know in the comments section.

Smalltalk on Git
06 June 2008 by Mathias Meyer
It's been quite around here. That's mainly due to the fact that I had visitors from Canada over, and led them and two more visitors from Norway around beautiful Berlin and Potsdam. Being a tour guide sure is a full-time job.
I held a (not so small) talk on Git yesterday at the Ruby User Group Berlin meeting. The slides are up on slideshare.
I'm using git and git-svn on a daily basis these days, and like most of the people, I'm enjoying it. I'm using GitHub to host my first open source toy called Macistrano, a Mac OS X desktop frontend for Webistrano, written in RubyCocoa. Yes, it's a frontend for a frontend. Gotta be meta these days.
It's not yet feature complete in the sense of a 0.1 version, so if you check it out, there will be bugs. An official announcement will follow.
To get more out of git, don't forget to check out Scott Chacon's talk at the RailsConf 08, and his excellent PeepCode book "Git Internals". If you just started using git casually, this book will take you deeper into the internal workings of git and the repository. Well worth the $9. For me, it was of great help to understand and appreciate how git works internally.

Girlfriend, I MADE A BLOG. Lots of smiles. It will transform itself in the next few weeks. Also, I've been studying this poem. It made me think of you! Enjoy :)ReplyDelete
Nature is a temple in which living pillars
Sometimes give voice to confused words;
Man passes there through forests of symbols
Which look at him with understanding eyes.
Like prolonged echoes mingling in the distance
In a deep and tenebrous unity,
Vast as the dark of night and as the light of day,
Perfumes, sounds, and colors correspond.
There are perfumes as cool as the flesh of children,
Sweet as oboes, green as meadows
— And others are corrupt, and rich, triumphant,
With power to expand into infinity,
Like amber and incense, musk, benzoin,
That sing the ecstasy of the soul and senses.
— Charles Baudelaire
Beautiful poem, Amanda...sweet as oboes, green as meadows. Lovely. And I'm glad to welcome you to the blogging world!ReplyDelete

In this paper we propose an autonomous precision landing method for an unmanned helicopter based on an on-board visual navigation system consisting of a single pan-tilting camera, off-the-shelf computer hardware and inertial sensors. Compared to existing methods, the system doesn't depend on additional sensors (in particular not on GPS), offers a wide envelope of starting points for the autonomous approach, and is robust to different weather conditions. Helicopter position and attitude is estimated from images of a specially designed landing pad. We provide results from both simulations and flight tests, showing the performance of the vision system and the overall quality of the landing. © Springer-Verlag Berlin/Heidelberg 2006.
This thesis was written during the WITAS UAV Project where one of the goals has been the development of a software/hardware architecture for an unmanned autonomous helicopter, in addition to autonomous functionalities required for complex mission scenarios. The algorithms developed here have been tested on an unmanned helicopter platform developed by Yamaha Motor Company called the RMAX. The character of the thesis is primarily experimental and it should be viewed as developing navigational functionality to support autonomous flight during complex real world mission scenarios. This task is multidisciplinary since it requires competence in aeronautics, computer science and electronics. The focus of the thesis has been on the development of a control method to enable the helicopter to follow 3D paths. Additionally, a helicopter simulation tool has been developed in order to test the control system before flight-tests. The thesis also presents an implementation and experimental evaluation of a sensor fusion technique based on a Kalman filter applied to a vision based autonomous landing problem. Extensive experimental flight-test results are presented.

|For the pre-War company, see Drumlin Diner (company).
The Drumlin Diner is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.
Upon approaching the diner for the first time, the Sole Survivor overhears a dispute between chems dealer Wolfgang, Jet addict Patrick, and Trudy—the owner of the diner, who has converted it into a shop. Apparently, Trudy's son Patrick is hooked on Wolfgang's Jet but is unable to pay for the chems to feed his addiction. In lieu of Patrick's inability to pay, Wolfgang expects Trudy to supply compensation.
A small, oval-shaped diner with a small sized car park surrounding the exterior. Many of the diner's tables are broken or missing. There's a floor safe in the area to the right upon entering the diner via the front door.
- Trudy
- Trashcan Carla(Will start visiting this settlement once you talk to her)
- Patrick
- Wolfgang
- Simone
Notable lootEdit
- General Chao's Revenge, a unique Chinese officer sword sold by Trudy.
- Power armor, an incomplete set (varies randomly), south of the diner in a wrecked railroad wagon locked by an advanced terminal.
- If Trudy is defended, Wolfgang must either be killed or intimidated into leaving; Trudy will subsequently become an all-purpose merchant. If the Sole Survivor sides with Wolfgang, one can either kill Trudy and Wolfgang will become a merchant, or the player can talk to her and either persuade or threaten her into surrendering the money. If the threat or the persuasion is successful, both Trudy and Wolfgang will become merchants.
- If Wolfgang dies, his corpse will become a spawning point for three raiders.
- Located a fair walk directly south of the diner is a dilapidated house with a dog house in the back yard. This house supports random encounters.
- When standing next to the orange car in front of the dilapidated house, look to the north west and you will see a bunker with an American flag. Inside this bunker is an eyebot that cannot be interacted with, as well as a locked door that can be opened using the attached terminal (Novice). Inside the locked area is a broken Mister Gutsy and an explosives box (both of which contain some useful items), as well as a bed.
- The eyebot can be hacked with the Robotics Expert perk.
- There are several "Drumlin Diners" as advertised by signs and billboards, indicating it's a chain or franchise. However, this particular marked location is the only one of note in the Commonwealth.
The Drumlin Diner appears only in Fallout 4.

Panthers Win NHL Draft Lottery
Send a link to a friend
[April 16, 2014]
The Florida Panthers, who finished
with the second-worst record in the NHL this season, won the league's
draft lottery Tuesday.
Florida will make the first overall pick in the draft to be
held June 27-28 in Philadelphia.
The Panthers owned an 18.8 percent chance of landing the top
pick after finishing 29-45-8. The Buffalo Sabres, who had a 25
percent opportunity in the lottery, are coming off a 21-51-10
season. They will select second.
Rounding out the top five will be the Edmonton Oilers (29-44-9),
the Calgary Flames (35-40-7) and the New York Islanders
The other draft selections that were determined Tuesday: No. 6
Vancouver Canucks, No. 7 Carolina Hurricanes, No. 8 Toronto
Maple Leafs, No. 9 Winnipeg Jets, No. 10 Anaheim Ducks (from the
Ottawa Senators), No. 11 Nashville Predators, No. 12 Phoenix
Coyotes and No. 13 Washington Capitals.
The next 16 positions will go to the playoff teams, depending
upon their success in the postseason. The 30th and last
first-round selection belongs to the New Jersey Devils, part of
the penalty for signing winger Ilya Kovalchuk to a contract that
broke league rules in 2010.
The only other time the Panthers selected first in the draft,
they acquired defenseman Ed Jovanovski in 1994. Florida dealt
away the No. 1 overall pick in 2002 and 2003. Left winger Rick
Nash and goalie Marc-Andre Fleury were chosen first in those
years, respectively.

Darvocet Vs. Vicodin
Many people are unclear about the difference between Vicodin versus Darvocet. Although both are combination drugs that contain a narcotic with acetaminophen and have significant abuse potential, there are many differences between the products. Vicodin is considered a stronger painkiller and is a Schedule III controlled substance, while Darvocet is a Schedule IV controlled substance (meaning that Vicodin is more likely to be abused).
In November 2010, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) withdrew all medications that contain propoxyphene from the market. It has been determined that the risks of propoxyphene outweigh the possible benefits. In particular, the FDA was concerned about the drug's ability to cause serious changes in the heart rhythm, even at normal doses. Pharmacies will no longer sell this medication, and people who take it should stop and ask their healthcare provider for a more suitable pain medication.
Darvocet® (propoxyphene/acetaminophen) and Vicodin® (hydrocodone/APAP) are both prescription pain medications. Both contain a narcotic (propoxyphene napsylate or hydrochloride bitartrate) in combination with acetaminophen (also known as APAP). Both are classified as controlled substances, which means they have significant abuse potential. They have similar side effects, drug interactions, and warnings and precautions.
Both Vicodin and Darvocet are available in generic form and are relatively inexpensive (in generic form). Both come in tablet form and are available in several different strengths.
Alcohol should be avoided (or, at the very least, limited) while taking either Vicodin or Darvocet. Both medications can be very dangerous in the case of overdose.

Review: Mission Child, by Maureen F. McHugh
Science fiction has a strong tradition of short story writing. It's a great length to elaborate an idea, and in the best cases, a writer can build the tension around the underlying concept as effectively as with the more conventional constructs of characters or plot. I think the desire to elaborate these quick poses must be common among many writers of the form. The Missionary's Child, the short that this novel built from was published in 1992, and I read it about ten years ago in a science fiction anthology. I liked it enough to try and remember to find the novel version, which evidently I did at some point in the intervening decade, because there it was in the pile. I have usually enjoyed McHugh's short stories when I've found them, but it is difficult to formulate a readable novel whose only purpose is to exhibit an idea. It's hard to support a story in the long form when there is not any special plot. There's a character and setting, and there's conflict here—our protagonist, Janna, has no shortage of external or internal struggles—but these do not really suggest or deliver any clear resolutions. It's more a matter of unfolding the understanding the character and where she lives setting, but here too, there's not a well-conceived pace of the discovery, it's really more like a tour. The world is not earth, but it is earth-like, populated with human societies that have been around long enough to be considered aboriginal, now struggling with a cultural invasion of well-intended colonial types. Maureen McHugh creates an environment with enough intimate and honest detail that it makes the outré circumstances of the story take a back seat to the cultural and personal issues. On one hand, it's an impressive accomplishment to make the unreal realistic, but on another, it sort of takes the fun out of it. It's difficult to generate a (cheap) skiffy thrill when the book features believable people who spend most of their time going about their boring lives. The only other novel of hers that I read was utterly sunk by the mundane: it had a city under the sea, cool Voudon rituals, and it bored me to the point of depression. Mission Child is much better than this, chiefly because it's a central character that is sympathetic, troubled, resourceful, accessible, and alien—you know, interesting.
McHugh is making some direct comparisons to known societies here, a couple that are chosen to reflect less a background of outright conquest and more the unintentional casualties of European expansion, which suits the mood she's trying to build. The story starts on the cultural fringe of a fictionalized version of the nomadic Sámi people (I had to look that one up—Lapplander is considered derogatory these days), comprised of a tribal Scandinavian-ish population moving between semi-permanent settlements up north of that planet's arctic circle, supported by an economy of genetically engineered reindeer which have long since run as wild as the people. The push from more recent Earth settlements in the south is probably, inadvertantly, the cause of the violent consolidation of the nomadic clans that claims Janna's family, the early tragedy around which she's forced to define her character. Janna starts her life in an ecumenical mission (run by an Indian couple, trying to teach the white locals technical culture at a non-threatening rate), a mixed background from the start, and is lucky enough to survive an encounter from a neighboring clan that escalates to the murder of nearly the whole settlement. The poor kid flees into a war (which also has few survivors) and then from it (even fewer), becoming a wife, a mother of a sick baby, a pariah, a widow in the process. While her age is purposefully left indeterminate, she can't be more than sixteen or so by the time she wanders into a refugee camp two (local) years later, and decides, for her own protection as well as psychologically complex reasons she is unable to assess, to compartmentalize her gender and present herself as a male. This gender confusion eventually gets reinforced by her spiritual practices, and later by some modern magic as well. Janna makes it out of the refugee camp to another mission, now in an industrial city further south, where she's sharp enough to expand her English and land a job and a training program for a factory technician. The story here is more of a back-country girl skirting the modern urban culture and counterculture. The final setting brings us to something of a South China Sea that Conrad might have recognized, an already robust trading economy recently beset with new pressures from outside. (Or maybe it's more like the end of the 20th century than the end of the 19th, a handful of hopeful NGOs have also recently arrived of the scene.)
For all this not-entirely-unfamiliar changing of times going on, McHugh does a very good thing with Janna, letting her take on a "native" view of the cultural invasion, and an individual one. This may be one of those cases where science fiction is a good tool to explore an otherwise sensitive or typically ill-informed setting. Coming from a survival culture, Janna makes for an interesting narrator. She is pragmatic instead of introspective, is relatively stoic, and has difficulty forming an internal conception this character of hers, divided between both worlds and genders. She lends herself to terse matter-of-fact descriptions of violence, death, and hunger that leave it more poignant. Janna has a moral sense, but she impressively (and believably) maintains little investment in foreign cultural baggage (both the good and bad kind; the author isn't given to the sort of moralizing that lets her character adopt modern notions of charity and tolerance while rejecting the general bullshit of working for a living or the danger of street culture), and mentions them as irrelevencies or sources of confusion, or in some cases finds the right analogy from her own experiences. We sophisticated readers can spot a great deal of childhood trauma in her, but she gives us a worldview that doesn't include the concept that our character is defined through formative events.
I wonder how much of this thematic weight can be pinned on female authorship. We have endurance trumping triumph here, and flight a bigger motivator than exploration, neither of which is the usual stick used to poke around brave new worlds. We have some gender identity issues, a focus on how those affect relationships, a theme that is much more self-acceptance than it is self-discovery or self-motivation. We have an ambiguous opinion of charity and conquest and culture, which worries more about lost self than it does lost dignity. Mission Child is a view of cultural change from the receiving end, with some clear connection to our own history. Anyone want to recommend a similar novel in a real historical setting? (All I can think of for the moment are one or two stories about Native American that I didn't read in high school. It'd be interesting to compare science fiction vs. the historical kind, or male vs. female writers.)

ITV launches European catch-up platform
The new service, ITV Essentials, offers a 30 day catch-up window and ad-free viewing for a monthly subscription of €5.49. Viewers can choose from a recurring monthly subscription if they are abroad for the long-term, or buy a one-month pass if going abroad for a holiday.
ITV Essentials will initially only be available on laptops or computers connected to a fixed broadband line or Wi-Fi connection, as opposed to 3/4G mobile. Users will need to have Microsoft Silverlight installed. The service is currently not available on Tablets or mobile devices, but an iOS app for iPhone and iPad is in development.
ITV Essentials is available in the following countries only: Austria, Belgium, France, Greece, Gibraltar, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Spain.
ITV Essentials was created in partnership with Saffron Digital. In a press release, Saffron Digital's President, Jason Keane said: "This is an elegant solution to finding ways to reach more soap fans across Europe. ITV have really raised the bar with this initiative and we are thrilled to be the launch partner on this unique service."
The move to launch ITV Essentials comes within weeks of the launch of the new Astra 2E satellite, which is likely to restrict free-to-air access to ITV plc's channels in some parts of the Mediterranean, as the new satellite has a much tighter spotbeam focused on the UK and Ireland to reduce continental overspill. Expats and holidaymakers in many parts of the Med have previously relied on oversized satellite dishes to get their fix of free-to-air UK television.

Snowman Cupcakes.Saturday, December 15, 2012
Hi Foodies!
As the holidays are approaching it isn't unusual for people to get into the spirit of baking!! Some of my favourite holiday baking treats are shortbread, gingerbread and cupcakes. Last year for Christmas I made these adorable snowman cupcakes that were such a hit with the kids. I found that they really enjoyed picking off his eyes, nose, and cheeks before consuming the cupcake body.

I am one of those people that are a bit challenged when it comes to baking but those cupcakes look adorable and I think I am capable of making them :PReplyDelete
Too cute! These cupcakes would be such a hit with all ages- Even the "adults" would no doubt get a kick out of them. :)ReplyDelete
I remember these. You should post the snowman and reindeer cake pops you made a few years back.ReplyDelete
Reindeer cupcakes! I gotta see these! And I have to say, I'd be picking off the eyes, etc. and eating them before the cupcake itself. ;-) But I guess I'm really just a kid. Good stuff - thanks.ReplyDelete
I love these, almost too cute to eat ;)ReplyDelete

Mumbai, Former Indian Captain Mohammad Azharuddin said that he would like to coach Indian team if BCCI clears him and gives him his due. In an exclusive interview with 6D after releasing his mobile Game "Azhar, The Captain", Azhar said that Board had always been kind and positive towards him. He is looking forwards to play a role in BCCI, unconditionally.
On Wednesday, 9th Aug 2017, the Committee of Administrators "COA" of BCCI headed by the President Mr. C.K. Khanna, and Secretary Mr. Amitabh Chaudhari met in New Delhi to discuss Mr. Azharuddin's matter. Sources from BCCI reveal that all the board members decided unanimously that there is nothing pending against Mr. Azharuddin and BCCI legal team has given the decision on Azhar's favour making it absolutely clear now that he's going to get all his dues in next SGM meeting . It's a great relief for Mr. Azhar. The official communication is awaited. BCCI has not yet released any press statement in this regard.
It has been almost five years since the Andhra Pradesh High Court had ruled that the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) life ban on former Indian skipper Mohd Azharuddin in the aftermath of the match-fixing saga was 'illegal' and 'unsustainable'.
Despite the clear verdict, the BCCI choose to keep the Damocles sword hanging over the Hyderabadi batsman's head. Neither did the BCCI contest the court verdict nor did it officially revoke the ban. This anomaly came to haunt Azhar earlier this year when he wanted to contest the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) elections. The Returning Officer disqualified Azhar on the ground that the BCCI had not revoked his ban.
Azhar has written to the BCCI bosses including president Mr. C.K. Khanna, secretary Mr. Amitabh Choudhary and even to the Committee of Administrators (CoA) asking them to clear his dues which include the one-time benefit given to the former captains of the Indian team. Sources informed 6D that Azhar had asked the board officials to consider his compensation package as he was exonerated by the High Court way back in 2012.
BCCI Sources said that the matter of giving Azhar his compensations will now be discussed at the BCCI general body meeting. When we spoke to Azhar's manager Mr. Anas Baqai, he clarified, "Azhar didn't ask for any specific amount as his compensation." But sources speculate that the BCCI, if it considers paying him, will calculate his compensations like pension from the time the Court revoked his ban.
BCCI had always been kind and positive towards me – Azhar
Youth to stay away from the drugs and other intoxicants – Azhar
While talking about the recent development regarding his position with BCCI and the meeting being called to sort out Azhar's future, Azhar said that , BCCI had been always very positive to him despite all the ruckus that had happened in the past. They respect his contribution to the game of cricket. He hoped that his request to clear his dues will be looked into generously. He said that he is looking forward to play any role in BCCI unconditionally, whether it is in admin or as coach of the cricket team. He summed up saying, patience and determination both are very important specially when trouble trikes on you. He plead to the youth to stay away from the drugs and other intoxicants, and focus on their future.

Volleyball preview: McNicholas
MT. WASHINGTON – The McNicholas High School boys volleyball team reached the state final four last season.
Head coach Julie Mulvey said a return to the state tournament in 2014 is a reasonable goal despite heavy losses to graduation.
"It's probably realistic," Mulvey said. "We replace five seniors with five seniors. They're just as talented as last year, if not a little more so. If we stay healthy and keep working hard, I think we can get back."
Senior captains Grant Tore and Elliott Painter will be key if they do. Tore plays an outside hitter, while Painter sets and also plays outside hitter.
"They're not just leaders on the court, but they're leaders in the school," Mulvey said. "They're smart, they work hard and they have a great attitude. They're just the kind of guys you want to be your captains."
The other seniors include returning 6-foot-7 outside hitter Jeremy Tiettmeyer and returning middle hitter Kuzi Nyika-Mikory. Classmate Lucas Wheeler is on the team for the first time and adds depth as a defensive specialist.
Junior Connor Games returns for his second season as the other setter in McNick's 6-2 scheme.
Mulvey said the most important thing is they are re-gelling.
"A lot of these guys were on the team last year, but they're adjusting to starting roles. They're learning that they have each other's backs. They had the seniors last year to rely on and now they have to step up for themselves," Mulvey said.
McNick started the season with three losses, falling on the road to Columbus St. Charles and Cuyahoga Walsh Jesuit, and at home against Division I power St. Xavier. The Rockets opened Greater Catholic League Coed play with straight-set wins against Roger Bacon and Dayton Carroll.
"We have to work on our consistency and finishing a game," Mulvey said. "We've had a couple games where were were at 23 or 24 and let the other team back in. Mainly it comes from not letting one mistake turn into 12 and giving another team a chance to get back in a game."
The Rockets were scheduled to play in the Buckeye Classic tournament April 12 and 13 and get back to GCL Coed action hosting Middletown Fenwick April 15.

You absolutely must go see this movie! It's excellent. The animation is beautiful, the story is cute, and...well, it's just a good movie. I left the theatre feeling delighted. I'd see it again in a heartbeat, which is high praise coming from me, given that I'm not a movie fan.

I managed to squeeze in a couple of rounds on the simple stockinette sock while waiting participate in the annual event that most of us have grown to know and
Yarn Shop News
Due to a number of circumstances that I cannot control (ridiculously high rents and my husband's business unit being put up for sale), the bricks-and-mortar yarn shop is on indefinite hold. I'm contemplating an online shop and selling some of the hard-to-find yarns (like Sea Silk) as well as yarn that is produced (or at least dyed) locally. So, to my small base of loyal readers, I ask:
- What yarns do you have a hard time finding?
- What other things do you buy from an online yarn shop?
- What things do you wish online shops would carry?
That's it for now. If I'm coherent tomorrow, I'll report on the Mule Run. There's going to be a lot of waiting and I'll be either knitting or napping. Maybe I'll finish the second sock. Or at least the foot.
Have a great Saturday!

In order to commit criminal mischief, a person must purposely and with intent injure someone or damage property. According to our Broward County Criminal Attorneys, an example of criminal mischief is putting graffiti on someone else's property.
If the damage from the criminal mischief you created is less than $200, it is considered a second-degree misdemeanor and is punishable by imprisonment up to 60 days and/or a fine of up to $500.If the damage is between $200 and $1,000, it is considered a first-degree misdemeanor and punishable by up to one year imprisonment and/or a $1,000 fine.
"Criminal mischief can even be classified as a felony, depending on the amount of damage and what is damaged." – Attorney William Moore
If any business or public service (communications, transportation, water, gas or power supply) or any other public service is damaged, and the labor is more than $1,000, you could be charged with a third-degree felony.
The Lawyers from our Broward County Office warn that if you have previous convictions under the criminal mischief statute, you may be charged with a third-degree felony instead of a misdemeanor. Delray Beach is especially tough on repeat offenders for vandalism. If you deface, injure or damage any place of worship, including but not limited to churches, synagogues, and mosques – or any articles contained within such place of worship – you may be charged with a third-degree felony, if the damage is over $200.
If convicted, you may also be ordered to pay for the damage you created, in addition to imprisonment and fines. If you are convicted of defacing property with graffiti, you may be charged as follows, in addition to any other criminal penalty:
- $250 or more for first conviction
- $500 or more for second conviction
- $1,000 or more for third or subsequent conviction
You may also be required to perform at least 100 hours of community service, involving the removal of graffiti. Criminal michief charges are taken very seriously in states like Florida, handing out some of the strictest sentences in the state.
If you are a minor at the time of your conviction (of criminal mischief by way of graffiti), your parent or legal guardian may get stuck paying the fine. If you are found to be indigent, or otherwise do not have the ability to pay the fine, the Court may waive the fine. If you are a minor with a driver's license, you may have your license revoked for up to one year. You may be able to reduce the term of suspension at the rate of one day for each hour of community service performed.

A few years ago I set up a camera and filmed myself pouring my favorite drink. Today I just finished editing and uploading a video of one of my nephews first JV high school football games. As I signed in to YouTube, I saw that the video of me mixing a drink had been viewed 527 times! I know some of you are thinking "What's the big deal?" Well, for me, 527 of anything is a lot. So I was happy but also confused. It's not like it's a cat video, though I have one of those too, but damn, 527 views? Thanks. Drink up.

…back into the blogging community.
"Are you still writing that bloggie thing?"
After more than three months of nothing, I'm writing again. I wish I could explain why I stopped writing. But the truth is I just don't know. I woke up one day, in the last days of April, and couldn't think of a damn thing to write. Absolutely nothing peaked my interest. I had lost my spark, my motivation, my desire. I had nothing more to say. If I could point to one thing and say "That's it! That's the reason I stopped writing." I would, but I can't.
"It's just a blog…it's not like it's Rocket Surgery!"
Sure, it's just a blog, just random thoughts and pictures about nothing important. But it was my blog. My random thoughts and pictures. And I loved it, until I didn't. Truth is I missed it a week after I stopped, but I didn't know how to start up again. The more time that went by, the harder the prospect was for restarting. Like when you haven't called a friend back…the longer you wait, the harder it seems to be to just do it.
"You've done this before."
Yes I have. And I may do it again.
"You know, there's a good chance no one even noticed you were gone."
Mom noticed. But sure, I know what your saying.
To those who did notice, to the few who took time from their busy day to read my blog, I'm sorry. And Thank you.
