The Midnight Caller, Episode 4
The air is thick and the static's crackling. Coded messages and tapped lines, there is danger in the jungle. The choir voice of The Peoples weaves in between the trees, through the hanging vines and into the radio waves. They like baseball and they have lots of friends, but they wish you could be there. … Continue reading The Midnight Caller, Episode 4

St. Timothy's Episcopal Church
10125 Azuaga Street, Rancho Penasquitos
Membership: 97
Pastor: Father Wilfredo ("Willy") Crespo
Age: 60
Born: New York City
Formation: New York Theological Seminary, NY; New York University, NY; University of Phoenix, Phoenix, AZ; Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, Evanston, IL
Years Ordained: 18
San Diego Reader: How long do you spend writing your sermon?
Father Willy Crespo: I start thinking about the sermon on Thursday with a couple hours of reading. I start writing down Friday night some thoughts for about an hour, and then Saturday afternoon I spend another hour piecing it together and getting a plot in my mind…. I have the sermon in my mind and talking to the folks as I walk up and down the aisles. It's no more than 15 to 17 minutes; I worked as a chaplain in the prisons [in New York and California for about 38 years] and learned that if you talk for longer than 15 minutes your crowd will fall asleep.
SDR: What is your favorite subject on which to preach?
FC: Life and God are here right now. There's an immediacy to the moment, the concrete reality from which we're never taken, and there's a meeting between people in which the reality of life and healing occur.
SDR: What's your main concern as a member of the clergy?
FC: What concerns me most is that people really pay attention to their lives and that they're open to the vicissitudes of being human, but more than put a filter or barrier through which to interpret it, to allow that experience to teach them. So, it requires faith and openness to the moment.
SDR: Why did you become a priest in the first place?
FC: When I was a kid, I remember some character in a movie as a priest walking down the long range of a prison block. He heard the door lock behind him and this character is walking down and I'm seeing his interaction with the prisoners. I thought, That's what I want to be. So, I went into prison ministry. But then I also became a priest because I want to point to things and want people to try out different ways to live out their lives. I want to give people permission rather than restrict them in finding themselves and finding God.
SDR: Where's the strangest place you've found God?
FC: I found Him in prison. The brokenness and resiliency, the promise and vulnerability, the rage and tenderness; all those polarities I found there, but the main thing I found there is hope, a way of reflecting society through the eyes of the inmates.
SDR: What is the mission of your church?
FC: 'To restore people to unity with God and each other in Jesus Christ.' Community, dialogue, collaboration, diversity-working and holding the tension of diversity and giving it direction and allowing it to give you direction.
SDR: Where do you go when you die?
FC: Tradition teaches that there's a hell and heaven, but in the overall scheme of things, it's a learning process to continue developing and moving forward. So I don't talk about what will happen to you if you die tomorrow — it puts undue pressure on people. It's really manipulative and skews what people are dealing with right now. God is not in tomorrow but the moment — that's why He is incarnational.

You may try using Hannah variety white sweet potato which are slightly less starchy. Some people have used orange sweet potatoes but I don't recommend them because they are sweet in flavor and not as starchy.

I can't really explain why, but there are some comparisons that critics love to make with little real justification beyond common cultural references. In the case of Poupoupidou — subtitled in English as Nobody Else but You — I've seen both Twin Peaks and Fargo bandied about. As for Fargo, the comparison is the usual one: someone is dead and it's snowing. On the other hand, it's clear that writer/director Gérald Hustache-Mathieu has lifted certain plot points nearly whole from Twin Peaks and worked them into his own, charming, lightly surreal mystery. Understand that this isn't a complaint; great artists steal, and all that.
As in Twin Peaks, we have a local rising starlet — known and seemingly beloved by all — found dead outside of town, investigated by an outsider. But this time the outsider is a moderately successful novelist, David Rousseau (Jean-Paul Rouve), who has come to the town of Mouthe — "Little Siberia", as the locals joke — on the Franco-Swiss border to collect a nonexistent inheritance. David is also being pressured by his agent to come up with something to satisfy his publishers, and when Candice Lecoeur (Sophie Quinton) turns up in a snowbank, he decides he must stay and use this as his next story.
The mystery only deepens when the officials deem Lecoeur's death a suicide; why would she wander out into an unclaimed border region where neither side would bother to investigate before she downed a mouthful of barbiturates? David's not the only one with doubts, as he bumps into gendarme brigadier Bruno Leloup (Guillaume Gouix) scratching out a few clues of his own, despite the orders of Commandant Colbert (Olivier Rabourdin) that the case be closed.
The heart of David's investigation is his journey into Candice's past, courtesy of a series of diaries she'd kept since turning thirteen, the last of which is, naturally, missing. We look back at her life as Martine Langevin; her discovery; her sudden fame as the spokesmodel for the local cheese producers; her job as a weather girl; and the rocky relationships that ran through her past. Quinton really shines in these scenes, and it's easy to believe her as a small-town girl who grows up to be a star — even a troubled one.
Rouve's David is amiable enough, though far from the singular character of MacLachlan's Agent Cooper. The townsfolk also don't rise to the quirky level of Pete Martell or the Log Lady, but some of them — especially Betty (Clara Ponsot), the hotel's receptionist — show signs that they might have more interesting characters if they had the breathing room of a television series to work in.
But really where Hustache-Mathieu draws the most inspiration from Twin Peaks is in his ability to set a certain not-quite-normal atmosphere. As David relishes the local cheese and wine, they serve the same purpose as a slice of pie and a cup of good, hot black coffee. And then there are the various cross-references and coincidences; some of which are explained later in case you didn't put it together yourself, and some of which seem to be left ambiguous. The film rewards a close, watchful eye and an active mind the way all the best detective novels do, and I may have to go back to it again since I still can't figure out what the deal is with the fives or the bulls that make enough passive appearances that I'm convinced they're not mere coincidences.
On top of all that, it looks gorgeous in the snowy roads in and around Mouthe. There are a number of visually imaginative sequences, and the whole thing is infused with a style that is at once glamorous and engaging. It's a pleasure to watch the stories, both of Candice's past and of her death, take shape.
Worth It: yes.
Bechdel Test: fail.

The future is built into the design principle
While other systems only ever offer the last state-of-the-art technology, in other words technology that is already old, the future is built into the design principle of the M51. After all, the M51 is designed to grow with your requirements. New functionalities can be continuously integrated through new modules, very simply, through plug-&-play. Tomorrow or several years down the road and always reflecting the current state-of-the-art technology.
Multiuser module
The M51 Multiuser module allows the integration of a M51 into the Multiuser system. CD player, FM tuner and analogue M51 sources (i/o module) can be played back in all rooms. The M202 Ethernet interface is not required for the control over the Multiuser app. Decoder ACCII or ACCIII in the M51 preconditioned.
The advantages of the integration into the Revox Multiuser system at a glance.
Multimedia module - Gateway to the multimedia world
With the Multimedia module Revox offers an attractive interface into the audio streaming world. The home network allows the connection of the multimedia module via LAN or WLAN and thus access sources such as internet radio or via UPnP a private music archive - e.g. on the Revox Joy audio server.
Moreover, depending on the multimedia module version, USB storage devices and/or iPods can be connected and be browsed - the iPods of course in the familiar Apple navigation structure.
The Revox App M232 for iOS devices and M235 for Android products enable intuitive browsing of the different titles or internet radio stations.
FM tuner module - Always on station
The Re:source tuner module is designed to receive FM radio stations and is characterised by its excellent reception properties. Up to 50 stations can be stored in the memory in any order using their RDS identifier or an individually assigned name. By deploying up to four tuner modules in the Re:system M51 or M10, up to four different radio stations can be listened to simultaneously within a Revox Multiroom System.
FM tuner I/O module
The FM Tuner I/O module combines the functionality of an FM Tuner with 3 analogue audio inputs and one analogue audio output. Traditional sources such as cassette players can be connected alongside iPods, for example. The output can be used for audio recordings or also for transmitting signals on to another amplifier. The individual sources can also be given individual names, which makes recognising the assignment of an input simple by giving it the name of the product that is connected to it, e.g. "iPod" or "Sat".
I/O module - Open for everything
The Re:source in/output module offers four analogue audio inputs and one audio output. This enables external devices to be integrated tonally into the Revox system. If required, input 1 can simply and quickly be converted to allow a record player to be connected. All the inputs on this module can be given the name of the currently assigned source through the menu, e.g. Play Station or MP3 Player. Each input can be individually levelled out so that the volume level stays the same when switching between sources and doesn't have to be adjusted.
Complete freedom of movement
The Re:source Multiroom module makes the Re:system M51 or M10 the centre of a Revox Multiroom System. Using the module, all analogue sources connected to the system can be distributed over four different listening zones. Within each listening zone, the programme can be transmitted into as many as four rooms and for each room, up to four timer events can be set up. This enables a wake-up call in any room at any time or entertainment with the desired programme at the required time.
Multiroom slave module - Surround sound wherever you are
The Re:source multiroom slave module is used where a multichannel audio reproduction is needed for additional rooms. In this case, the M51 with Multiroom slave module operates as a multi-channel room amplifier with integrated DVD player. It is connected to the Multiroom Module in the central Re:system controller and imports the signals from there. Furthermore, the M51 with Multiroom slave module enables true Home Cinema surround sound, even in the additional room, through the integrated DVD player or a local SAT receiver.
Communication module
The communication module is available in several versions - from the control of the Revox M37 audio server to the connection of the Kaleidescape audio/video server to the connection of selected CD players numerous possibilites are available to integrate this module and to recall the named sources even from the side room.
Request programmes, 24/7
The Re:source KaleidescapeTM module integrates the KaleidescapeTM video server in the Revox system. The server audio content can be shown on the displays and called up very simply. The films stored on the server can be selected through an intuitive OSD on the television. The perfect, simple to operate Home Cinema experience is a result of the system's friction-free task division. The image data is distributed through the KaleidescapeTM World. Revox handles the processing and the complete control of the audio signals.
CD enjoyment in all rooms
If you just fancy listening to your favourite hits from time to time - no problem. With Revox Multiroom systems and the Re:system M51 or M100 as control units, you can access a CD in your device's drive from every room in the house. This is now also possible for systems based on the M10 without a CD drive. Thanks the Revox CD control module, it is possible to control the CD player from the Revox Joy series. You can see which track is currently playing through the Revox wallmounted display.
DVD Module - Picture and sound
The Re:source dvd module is the audio and video interface for the DVD drive that is integrated in the M51. High-quality video drivers ensure an excellent picture, which consistently receives critical acclaim as being one of the best on the market. At the same time, the module offers the analogue audio input for the sound signal from a potential TV device. As a true all-rounder, the DVD module can read CDs and DVDs including different ROM formats as well as MP3, JPEG and DIVX formats. The DVD module is available with SCART or Cinch connectors for connection to the picture reproduction device.
Scaler module - See better
As an optional add-on to the DVD module, the Re:source dvs module scales up the standard video signal to high-resolution formats, as high as 1080p. This enables the currently highest possible Full HD resolution. Because of the high level of integration in the controller, all signals are transmitted exclusively digitally and with extremely short signal paths. This gives Revox an advantage over external scalers that can't offer this feature.
The signal is made available to the TV or projector by a HDMI or a component jack.
Audiophile standard for home cinema
The Re:source decoder module decodes the different audio formats for the Re:system M51, so that both stereo and surround formats can be played through the M51. One particular feature is the X-stereo function that enables the use of four speakers, even with pure stereo operation, which is the case well over 90 % of the time. The module gives music lovers the option of pure analogue listening. In this case, the digital signal processor is switched off and the music can be experienced in its purest form, just as the sound engineer mixed it.
This module can also be operated in a M10 and enables the supply of the Multiroom audio signals to home cinema amplifiers of other providers.

For this setting the module must be unplugged and some switches on the module be configurated. Please find details in the manual.
Why does my "Fritzbox" does not asign an IP adress to my Multimedia Module, neither via DHCP nor with a manual IP?
The LAN Ports of the "Fritzbox" are set on "auto" by default setting. This means the Ports are turned off and only when there is data traffic the Ports are turned back on automatically. This "Wake-Up-Function" does not work reliable with Multimedia products. Please set the LAN Ports on "active" in the setup menu of the "Fritzbox".
How many Multimediamodules can I operate in a M51 or a M10?
In the M51 you can only operate one Multimediamodule. The M10 does not have this limitation.
How much external memory can I connect to the Multimediamodule?
On the USB connection of the Multimediamodules you can connect USB sticks and hard discs up to FAT 32. Do you need more memory, we recommend the operation of a NAS memory (network hard disc).
Why does the multimedia module not activate the alarm, even though I have set a timer?
In a first step please check whether the multimedia module is mapped on one of the buttons Tuner, CD/DVD or AUX 1, because only these sources can be chosen by the timer. Tuner and CD normally always work, but with the multimedia module it can happen that the last content is not available anymore, because the source has been deleted or the audio stream is not working . Since software MMM+3 2.06 Revox offers a secure solution, so that you are definitely woken up. Initially the module looks for the radio station which was listened to last. If for some reason this radio station is not available, the multimedia module works through the "My Music" list. If there is no music available, the multimedia module selects music from an USB Stick, which needs to be plugged in and contain music in mp3 format in the root directory. So the timer will work properly now, even if there is a problem with the Internet connection.
I cannot play the music from my iPad with the multimedia module.
Due to the system this is currently not possible.
Which iPhones and iPods can I use with the multimedia module?
The multimedia module is compatible with current iPhones and iPods – an exception is the iPod shuffle.
Why does my Multimedia module not recognize my Router?
Please do not use the space or any special characters for naming the network for the WLAN. This could lead to difficulties in recognizing the Router.
What can I do when I do not get a connection to the Internet? (Multimedia module)
Please check in the Setup menu of the Multimedia module whether the MMM was assigned by an IP address. In a first step restart the MMM. Should the MMM still not have an IP address, it is possible that the router does not support DHCP.
Deactivate the DHCP modus and assign an IP address manually.
Which software version does my system need to be able to operate a Multimedia module?
The Multimedia module works only in a system with software version 2.0 or higher.
Should I connect the WLAN antenna even though a LAN cable is used? (Multimedia module)
As soon as a network cable is connected to the Multimediamodule, the WLAN is deactivated. You should still screw the added antenna on the module, because otherwise it is very likely to lose it.
Why does my WLAN not work? (Multimedia module)
The WLAN is turned off, as soon as the LAN cable is plugged in. This makes sure, that no unnecessary radiation is occurring.
The latest MMM supports the WEP, WPA and WPA2 coding.

Natural teeth and the underlying bone provide a framework that supports the structures of your face including your lips, cheeks, and nose. When teeth are lost the ability to eat and chew properly is impaired, and it becomes difficult to maintain a proper diet. Without support from your teeth, the face will sag creating a look of premature aging. Additionally, without teeth we cannot speak clearly and distinctly.
A denture, or a complete denture as it is often called, is an appliance that is inserted in the mouth, and replaces the natural teeth in the upper and lower jaw, or both, sitting on the soft (gum) tissue of the mouth that covers the bone ridge. Drs. Ressler, Hirschl and Lelchuk use several different procedures to make sure your denture will fit the shape of your mouth and provide the necessary support for the cheeks, lips and face. The design of the denture and position of the teeth will restore good speech and appearance.
Most dentures are made of acrylic and can be fabricated two different ways. A conventional denture is made after all teeth have been extracted and the tissues (gums) have healed. An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after the teeth are extracted and the tissues are allowed to heal under the denture. An upper denture is acrylic and usually flesh colored that covers the palate (roof of the mouth). A lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to leave room for the tongue. The teeth are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination thereof. Dentures can be fabricated to fit over endodontically treated teeth and a complete denture can be attached to dental implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance.
Dentures over a normal course of time will wear and need to be replaced or relined in order to keep the jaw alignment normal. The alignment will slowly change as the bone and gum ridges recede or shrink due to the extraction of the teeth. It is important that Drs. Ressler, Hirschl and Lelchuk see you for regular dental examinations. This is still important for the denture wearer so that the oral tissues can be checked for disease or change.
Removable Partial Dentures
A removable partial denture is used when there are still natural teeth left. The missing teeth are replaced by this type of denture in an effective and esthetic design using both the soft tissue ridges and teeth to hold them securely in place. This tooth replacement is removable by you, which makes cleaning easier. Because removable partial dentures use teeth and soft tissue for support, you may be given the opportunity to choose a variety of treatment plans. We will discuss these options after a thorough examination of your teeth, soft tissue (gums and cheeks), remaining bone and surrounding anatomy. The examination should also include x-rays (radiographs) or impressions to make models of the mouth.
Your new teeth will look natural and are made from the most durable materials on the market today. The foundation of the partial denture can be plastic or a combination of plastic and metal. There are different methods used to secure the partial denture in your mouth. Metal clasps are the most common and they may or may not be visible. Where the appearance of metal clasps are not wanted (as along your upper front teeth), there are precision attachments that can be used to hide the partial denture attachments and provide a secure fit. The denture can often be made to fit the existing shape of your teeth, or it may be necessary to alter your remaining teeth. We will indicate which design will be most appropriate for you.

I'm all about the eyes. Up until couple of years ago, I didn't actually wear any make-up at all bar eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara (and lipstick occasionally). I learned early on in my beauty journey how to make my eyes POP, and have long held eye make up products as my ultimate essentials. That's why when Eyeko got in touch asking me to meet them to find out all about their products, and the fact they're launching at M&S, I couldn't wait to go along!
I met the lovely co-founder Nina Leykind and MUA Roberta to chat about some of their key products, and as you can see above I also had my make up done! I will be posting some more in-depth reviews soon, but wanted to give you a quick overview today!
First up, the Black Magic Mascara…
I'm a HUGE mascara girl, and instantly loved the no-waste squeeze tube the Eyeko mascaras are famous for. This was one of the products used on me by Roberta and the photo speaks for itself – my lashes looks amazing. I can't wait to play around with this one more and I'm fairly sure it's going to become a staple of mine!
Let's move along to the Black Magic Liquid Eyeliner…
I love the effect of liquid eyeliners but find the application super difficult – with this Eyeko liner that problem is no more! The brush is super easy to use and the effect is just as impactful as your classic pot format, you just get that extra element of control over the application. I'm very much looking forward to trying this out more myself and posting a full review for you!
Back to the mascaras, and we have the Sport Waterproof Mascara!
This product has won an Allure award, which is a huge deal! The beautiful non-plastic brush means that it can really hug your lashes without restriction, and as an avid exercise fan I am going to be putting this to the test by wearing it during a sweaty workout. Keep your eyes peeled for my thoughts on how it performed!
To match, we have the Sport Waterproof Eyeliner!
Roberta actually used this on my upper waterline to really add that emphasis at the base of the upper lashes and my goodness, what an incredible effect it had! Looking at my eyes in the mirror as she worked, I saw an instant difference. It didn't transfer to my lower waterlines and stayed put all day long. I am very impressed with this product and will be using it for those long-wear make up days without a doubt.
It's shadow time! Introducing the Me & My Shadow Waterproof Shadow Liner in Taupe…
I have long shied away from using shadow sticks as I always felt like I'd just coloured in my lids with no real thought behind the look. The AMAZING thing about these products from Eyeko is that they also contain a brush! Hooray for blending! This was one of the shades Roberta used on me and I just loved the way the creamy formula sat on my lids – it didn't crease or transfer and I was very impressed with it. I'll be using it much more in my routine!
Finally, we have the Eyeko Brow Gel!
I find my brows are quite unruly at times, despite them being so fair, and a brow gel is something I've needed in my life for a long time. When I met Eyeko, this was one of the brow products Roberta used on me, and my brows didn't budge for the rest of the day. I do find little hairs fly out of place usually, and when I'm dashing around it's just not too awesome. This was a life saver!
So, what do you guys think of these first impressions? I am really looking forward to using these products more and filling you in about my experiences with them!
Stay Creative,
Chyaz xox

The holiday parties that you are going to attend are your chance to sparkle and shine. You are expected to dress your best during the holiday season which means that those dresses that seemed to be too formal or too party for the usual parties that you attend throughout the year are appropriate for Christmas parties.
If in case the Christmas party that you are going to attend is a themed party especially if it is organized by a good organizing company, then you can surely enjoy the xmas party in Leicester if you have the right outfit to wear. Make sure that you know what the theme is going to be and enjoy looking at the outfits that other people have worn for the special event.
If you are just going to a regular Christmas party, you should still plan what you are going to wear. Here are some ideas:
- Wear the little black dress.
The little black dress does not have to be boring. It is also a staple in your closet because you can wear it all over and over again. The dress that you have should be dressed up a bit in order to fit the festive mood of the holidays. Why not drape a sleeveless blazer in a more cheerful colour over your little black dress? It will make your dress age appropriate and fun.
- Do not overdo the sequins.
One of the mistakes that people make is wearing too much sequins for the holidays. Sequins are fun under lights especially if you are the star performing in a concert but for a normal Christmas party, it may prove to be too much. Perhaps you can wear a sequined skirt with a silk blouse or you can wear sequined pants with a button down. The possibilities are endless. Just make sure that you do not wear sequins head to toe.
- Your denim jeans can look amazing.
If the dress code is strictly casual then you can take your denim jeans out for a spin. In order to make your look dressier, you can choose the right top to wear with it. Partner your outfit with the right accessories and it will be obvious that you made an effort to dress up without sacrificing your comfort.
- Choose glam accessories.
Perhaps you can skip wearing your denim jacket for now and wear something that is a bit more structured or is at least made out of materials that will look more festive and glamorous. You better skip your rubber shoes too for satin flats. The accessories that you choose can always change up your whole look.
- Do a bit of layering.
Layering is still a trend right now and you can take advantage of it so you can keep warm and look trendy at the same time. Mix up pieces that look good together and make sure that you will choose holiday colours in order to fit well with the holiday parties you are going to attend.
With these entire outfit ideas, which one are you most excited to try?

Welcome to the Auxiliary Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York ("APBA"). We were created in January 1965 to address the concerns and needs of our membership, the Auxiliary Police Officers and Supervisors of the New York City Police Department. Our goal is that we would recognize the problems faced by our members, and address them by collaborating with the ranking officers of the NYPD to address the needs and concerns of our membership. Ultimately the best way to do this is to educate our members and the Public on our role in providing our volunteer services to the City of New York.
The supervisory body of the APBA is the Executive Board, which oversees the daily activities of the Union and provides leadership to our members.
John W. Hyland has been providing leadership to the APBA since 1965 when it was founded. John was educated at St. John's Elementary School, Kingsbridge and graduated from Samuel Gompers Vocational and Technical High School in the Bronx. He is president of the Samuel Gompers Alumni Association and serves on its Advisory Board. John attended Smith and Wesson Academy for Law Enforcement and Defensive Tactics Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
John is a retired NYPD Auxiliary Police Sergeant and he has received numerous awards, letters of personal recognition, and commendations, including the Award of Valor, the highest honor an NYPD Auxiliary Police Officer can receive. John was employed with Verizon Communications for 33 years and is still a proud member of Local 1101 Communication Workers of America.
John is an active Hibernian, and served in every elected office in the Daniel J. Quilty Division 7 in Bronx County. John served as the recording secretary, vice president and president for the Bronx County Board and two separate terms as State Director of District 4, and Deputy Catholic Action chairman for the State A.O.H. John was a member of the St. John's Parish, Kingsbridge for over 50 years and is now an active member of St. Lawrence O'Toole Parish in Brewster.
Gene Schaefer has been a member of the APBA since 2008. He joined the Auxiliary Police Program in 2005 as a member of the NYPD Auxiliary Harbor Unit. He is currently an APO with the 111 Precinct in Bayside, Queens.
Outside of the Auxiliary Police, he is Executive Vice President in an advertising firm based in Manhattan, NY. Prior to joining the advertising firm, Mr. Schaefer was Senior Vice President, Director of Business Development in a $25 billion multi-state New York based thrift institution. While working at the bank he maintained a Brokerage License, Insurance License and various other certifications.
Gene is a graduate of the National School of Banking, the Institute of Culinary Education and attended Queens College, where he studied Fine Arts. He currently resides in Nassau County with his wife and son.

We had a conversation with Mike Taylor about the harvesters of scholarly content being built for The One Repo and how they differ from the scrapers ContentMine are using with quickscrape. Mike is looking for partner organisations who might be willing to sponsor the creation of harvesters and in the spirit of collaboration and reducing unnecessary duplication of work we wondered if we could use each other's tools.
Mike responded:
The big differences, from what I saw when I looked at your scrapers, are:* Scrapers seem to work on one page at a time, while harvesters crawlaround sites and extract multiple pages.* Harvesters have lots of a heavy machinery to deal with awkward pagesthat obscure content with JavaScript, cookies or crazy authenticationschemes.* Scrapers are more neatly positioned as tools that can be integratedinto any system, whereas harvesters are wired into a bigger ecosystem.* Crucially, scrapers are driven by an open-source engine, whereas theharvester engine is encumbered by co-ownership.
Peter Murray-Rust:
I use "crawl" instead of harvest. It's about discovery and it's 90%+ political and non-technical.
Our scrapers have Javascript machinery but don't do wget - they get precisely what they are asked for
I think your harvesters overlap at one end with crawlers and at the other end with scrapers.

We hope the projects can find useful collaborative ground and we're interested to hear from anyone else building scraper/harvester/interfaces for the scholarly literature.
To clarify: in writing this, I wasn't trying to make a distinction between the meanings of the words "scraper" and "harvester" -- just describing the difference between ContentMine's software (which they call "scrapers") and Index Data's (which we call "harvesters"). I'm not sure that the two terms significantly differ in their actual meaning.
The Internet Archive currently leads a project called OpenJournal bringing together people who work on indexing/archiving/mining scholarly publications. You are very welcome to join the discussion! We have already had very interesting discussions between BASE, CiteSeerX and dissemin, among others.
Mike, reading your description of the differences between QuickScrape and the OneRepo I understand that OneRepo is not an open source project. Can you elaborate on that?
Thanks Mike - yes the title for the thread was misleading - I've updated!
In spirit, it's an open-source project. More crucially, it's an open-data project. Everything that we harvest, we republish openly for anyone to reuse for any purpose. But for historical reasons, some of the infrastructure that we use to harvest sites is co-owned by a commercial partner who are not willing for us to release it as open source. (If necessary, we could re-write that part as open-source software, but it would take us time that we presently have more pressing uses for.)
I see. I think it would be strategic to opensource at least some parts of it, for instance the scraping part. For instance, Zotero's translators are actively maintained by the community: it would be very expensive to build an equivalent tool in a closed way. Another interesting model is DuckDuckGo's Instant Answers, allowing anyone to improve DuckDuckGo's search results by adding custom sources.
The parts that we can open-source, we have -- e.g. the UI widget set that we use to query the database for the demo is at https://mkws.indexdata.com/
We (Index Data) have been releasing open-source software for more than two decades -- since 1995, long before the term "open source" was coined. Don't worry, we're well aware of the advantages!

?Kuta Beach is the birthplace of Bali's (if not Indonesia's) surfing scene, yet continues to attract all types of travellers. There's a rich assortment of hotels here now answering to the variety. The beach road of Jalan Pantai Kuta runs along Kuta's well-kept coastal strip, which can get a little busy during the high season. Meanwhile, the southern area that borders with Tuban, home to Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport, offers a quieter scene with some hotels offering better beachfront access.
The Jalan Kartika Plaza walking street runs through Kuta's south and offers plenty of options for shopping and dining. It is also home to Waterbom Bali, Southeast Asia's premier water park, as well as two of the island's largest malls: Discovery Shopping Mall and Lippomall Kuta. To the north, there's the grand Kuta Beachwalk leisure and entertainment complex. While Kuta has its own options for nightlife, livelier bars and clubs are just a short distance away to the neighbouring clubbing capital of 'downtown' Legian.

Frozen music, unheard too
Dwell magazine has posted a story I wrote about a new house in Seoul, designed by the magnificent architect Steven Holl, who was recently chosen to reconfigure parts of the Kennedy Center campus. Holl was looking through a book called Notations, a compendium of contemporary music edited by the composer John Cage. Struck by the unique graphic design of Istvan Anhalt's 1967 Symphony of Modules, Holl used Anhalt's score as inspiration for the new Daeyang House and Gallery. Anhalt's score, one of those everything-and-kitchen-sink beasts that composers loved to write in the 1960s, has never been performed. But the composer's widow was pleased to see her husband's work memorialized in Holl's design, and sent the architect a note saying so. In my article I look at the unique design, its inspiration, and the complicated question of how, or if, music and architecture are related.

Eminent Technology
LFT-8b Planar Magnetic Hybrid Loudspeaker
The Eminent Technology LFT-8b, ETI's first hybrid loudspeaker using the highly acclaimed Linear Field Planar Magnetic Transducers combined with a low Q 8" woofer in a sealed enclosure.
Lft-8b available in Oak, Walnut & Gloss Black (comes with black grill cloth)
The Eminent Technology LFT-8b is a hybrid, with push-pull, dynamic planar loudspeaker elements for the midrange and tweeter and a conventional cone loudspeaker for bass.
The LFT-8 is available from Eminent Technology dealers and can also be purchased directly provided that there is no dealer within 150 miles of your residence. Shipping cost is included in a direct purchase.
The planar section is in a sense, the magnetic equivalent of a push-pull electrostatic loudspeaker, differing in that it requires no step-up transformer or bias voltage, and that the audio signal is applied directly to its diaphragm. Updates are available to convert any older LFT-8 to the current model for $499.00
The magnetic drive principle developed by Eminent Technology for the LFT speaker series is unique to the industry. As the diaphragm of the speaker moves between the magnets following an audio signal, the magnetic field remains constant. In a sense, it is the magnetic equivalent of a push-pull electrostatic loudspeaker, differing in that it requires no step-up transformer or bias voltage and that the audio signal is applied directly to the diaphragm.
In order to obtain a uniform driving force over the entire surface area of the diaphragm, a low mass foil/mylar diaphragm is used with conductor traces etched (like a circuit board) with high resolution. The large surface area of the midrange driver gives excellent power handling capacity. A thin lightweight diaphragm is utilized for the high frequency driver.
The LFT-8b minimum recommended amplifier is 50 watts/channel. The maximum recommended power is 200 watts/channel. The speaker is moderately efficient and its impedance averages 8 ohms.
The low frequency woofer was carefully designed to blend seamlessly with the mid-range and high-frequency drivers. The design uses a very low crossover frequency (180Hz) between the woofer and midrange. The woofer has a very high complince and operates with a near critically damped system Q of .58. This tuning insures excellent transient response.
The panels are attached to a rigid steel frame to prevent resonances. The woofer is mounted in a rigidly braced enclosure.
The LFT-8b is biampable. The standard finishes are glossy black, walnut and oak with black grills . The retail price is $2499 per pair.

There are several important dagoba's in Tissa, the most imposing being the Tissamaharama Wehera meaning 'Great Temple'. The Tissamaharama Wehare is brilliant white in colour and stands a soaring 55m high with a circumference of approximately 165m. It is attributed to King Kawantissa who ruled Ruhuna in the 2nd Century BC, and was the largest dagoba in the island at that time. This temple has been fully restored and at its pinnacle stands a spike covered in gold which was rescued from the sand by local Buddhists.. Legend has it that Buddha visited Tissamaharama on his third visit to the island and that a sacred tooth relic and a forehead bone relic are enshrined in this dagoba. As such it is considered one of 16 places in Sri Lanka that are sacred to Buddhists.

ReAgent Gets Involved with the SoftSlide Project
ReAgent are excited to announce that we have been invited to embark on a new adventure that will reshape the moulded parts industry. Together with other leading European companies, we join the SoftSlide project to deliver an innovative method of manufacturing dynamic seals.
The Project
In a previous blog post, we told you about an exciting new project that is changing the game of dynamic seal manufacturing. The SoftSlide project are looking to improve the efficiency and durability of industrial equipment by substituting standard dynamic seals with textured seals.
These are manufactured according to the Texturing During Moulding (TDM) process which is used to achieve low-friction, durable, and energy-efficient textured seals. Moulds are micro-etched in order to dramatically decrease friction between the seal and its respective device. This then leads to reduced energy consumption.
SoftSlide Project Aim
"Industrialisation and commercialisation of mass production processes for the Texturing During Moulding of dynamic seals in order to increase industrial equipment energy efficiency and durability"
Project Partners
The SoftSlide project is led by five European partners, including ReAgent, whose expertise complete the industrial supply chain required for the mass commercialisation of these textured seals. The Consortium is comprised of:
ReAgent is the fifth gear, and we play an important role in this project.
ReAgent's Role in SoftSlide Project
ReAgent's role is the scale-up and production of a semi-permanent mould release coating. We will do this using Sol-Gel technology.
Sol-Gel Technology
Sol-Gel technology not only drastically reduces surface tension on the textured mould, it also significantly increases release properties. Release properties play a key role in TDM seals manufacturing, and are directly associated with the hydrophobicity of the mould's surface. Hydrophobicity is essential for creating a durable and re-usable mould. By enhancing these properties, we are able to massively improve the efficiency of moulded parts manufacturing.
Standard mould release agents have to be replaced after each use. However, during testing, we have established that fluorinated and methylated Sol-Gel coatings are able to increase the number of cycles that moulds can go through before cleaning or replacement. This not only improves the texture transfer to seals, it also improves longevity and efficiency.
What Will This Bring?
A products development company and fellow SoftSlide contributor, Inspiralia, have generated vital knowledge in Sol-Gel technology. This has allowed us to begin producing thin coatings with:
- Low surface energy
- Good adhesion to mould surfaces
- Mechanical resistance comparable to steel
- Submicronic thickness that won't interfere with texture transfer
This new method of producing mould release coatings will revive old manufacturing techniques in the industry, and ultimately lead to a more cost-effective process.
Future Plans
It is now ReAgent's duty to scale and optimise this innovative Sol-Gel technology. To date, we have scaled up to 1L batch sizes in our factory – but this is just the beginning. Our next scale-up volume will be 50-100L per batch. We will use a 100L Jacketed Stainless Steel reaction vessel for this. After this, the final stage will be scaling up to 1000L per batch!
ReAgent are extremely excited, and proud to have been asked to get involved with this ground-breaking project. Together with the Consortium, we intend to invigorate the moulded parts industry by changing the way dynamic seals are manufactured.

We urge the Belarusian authorities to release all political prisoners and to initiate systemic changes aimed at ensuring exercisable human rights
Statement by the Human Rights Center "Viasna"
On June 21, Ales Bialiatski, Chairman of the Human Rights Center "Viasna" and vice-president of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), was released early from the Babruisk penal colony under the Law "On Amnesty".
The Human Rights Center "Viasna" welcomes the release of the organization's chairman, considering it as a manifestation of the political will of the country's leadership and a positive step towards improving the human rights situation in the country.
However, the Human Rights Center "Viasna" stresses that:
human rights violations in Belarus are of systemic and systematic nature, the exercise of civil and political, social and economic rights, which are guaranteed by the Constitution and international standards of human rights, is extremely restricted, the country lacks an independent judiciary, and dissidents are subjected to pressure, intimidation and prosecution. Political prisoners continue to be held in the country's prisons.
Considering this, the Human Rights Center "Viasna" calls on the authorities of Belarus to:
take necessary steps to release and rehabilitate the political prisoners who are still behind bars: Mikalai Statkevich, Eduard Lobau, Ihar Alinevich, Mikalai Dziadok, Vasil Parfiankou, Yauhen Vaskovich and Artsiom Prakapenka;
refrain from the practice of persecution of representatives of the country's civil society and political opposition in connection with their legitimate and constitutional activities for the sake of creating a climate of trust in the society;
take measures aimed at ensuring the implementation of exercisable human rights, both at the level of legislation and law enforcement practice.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), as part of the 2018-2019
Refuge-Specific Hunting and Sport Fishing Regulations process, proposes to expand hunting
on over 13,000 additional acres at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge
(Refuge). These additional areas would be open to waterfowl and pheasant
hunting and would align with State regulations for these species.
currently proposed, up 40% of the Refuge's acreage would be open to migratory
bird hunting. These expanded hunting areas would enhance wetland and upland
hunting opportunities for new and existing hunters now and in the future. The
Refuge would also maintain opportunities for other forms of wildlife-dependent
recreation and continue providing healthy habitat for native and migratory
on the proposed alternatives for these new areas and opportunities for public
comment can be found in the NEPA document posted below.
Members of the public were invited to submit comments on the draft Environmental Assessment (EA) during a 30-day public comment period from June 8 to July 8. Public comments were accepted via email and postal mail during the public comment period. Members of the public were also invited to direct questions or request more information regarding the EA and its proposed alternatives to Refuge staff via phone during the public comment period. Additional information and updates will be available on this website.
Following the public comment period, the Service will analyze comments
received, publish a final EA, and make a final determination about the proposed
hunting expansion. The Service aims to make a decision regarding these hunting areas in time for the 2018-2019 hunting season.
opportunities are and will continue to be authorized and provided in accordance
with Federal, State, and Tribal regulations and seasons (where applicable).
