Location: Freiburg, Germany
Painter of Silence
Focussing on the urban landscape creating a melancholic spot of silence in a blurred moment of vital urban life. Representing my thoughts and feelings at the moment the picture's taken in my head. I love those old european cities, offering wonderful architecture in heavy contrast to modern, busy lifestyle. Just remember 'metro, boulot, dodo'. With my paintings, I just want to take out the accelerated aspect, blur the noise and open a view to a spot of silenced movement, just to enjoy the city's magic.
Don't let the city take you...take the city.
I was born in 1987, living in Freiburg, Germany (great city, by the way). Painting is my life, doing it, oh well, since day one, I guess. Last few years, beside my artistic journey I worked as a illustrator painting several children's books for a German publisher.

Today, April 22, 2012, as Dallas winds down their Earth Day Dallas (EDD) celebrations, Rasmussen Reports, famous for political polls and surveys, announced the result of their lifestyle poll all about Earth Day. Rasmussen released results showing that "23% will do something special to celebrate Earth Day."
Though that number may strike many as proof of a lack of interest for marking the 43rd Annual Earth Day, the number doesn't take into account that the spirit of Earth Day is embraced in an all year effort, not just a day. In Dallas, two Texas companies are working together to make that happen.
The Dow Chemicals Company is promoting earth friendly projects on a full decorating page plus they have teamed in projects with Michaels Stores. Among other things, the chemical company manufactures environment sustainable STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam products and these products are sold at Michaels.
Several timeless arts, crafts and decor projects are available with photos and complete instructions on Michaels.com, the arts and crafts giant which is home based in the Dallas metroplex. The projects were created by Dow Chemical designers.
Local Dallas mom, Joy Spencer, admits that she is not especially crafty herself and seldom makes a point of doing anything special on Earth Day. However, she added, "I am always conscious of whether a product is earth friendly because I do care about the environment. In 2012, I plan to keep sustaining our earth in mind when I buy and I will search for recycled items from local Dallas artisans. I am so glad they have the time and talent to create what I cannot."
Following are links to STYROFOAM™ organizing and floral projects, including one by another flourishing Dallas mompreneur, with creative inspirations to celebrate Earth Day Dallas each day of 2012:
- Gerbera daisy cube topiary: Create a modern striking floral cube topiary offering lush home decor colors in stylish topiary designs. Designed by Diane Flowers for The Dow Chemical Company
- Sleek and stainless CD mail organizer: This is a terrific recycling project to help organize your desk. Designed by Kathleen George for The Dow Chemical Company
- Champagne glass hydrangea spheres: It's easy to form a high-impact grouping of formal objects d'art quickly following the instructions for this stunning project. Designed by Diane Flowers for The Dow Chemical Company
- Sleek & Stainless Pencil Cube: Expect to find STYROFOAM™ projects for future holidays and to make special occasion gifts for the coming year of 2012. One such project, ideal for a gift for Father's Day is the partner to the mail organizer, already described above. This is a handy, tasteful and easy project that starts with a foam cube.
- Everlasting floral bouquets: Cold porcelain floral bouquets are created with a clay made from cornstarch and white glue. The petals are formed from the clay and shaped around a foam sphere. Vintage teacups are recycled as vases. A slideshow, featuring photos by Devonia Smith, plus a video how-to are provided on the left sidebar. (These bouquets are available for purchase on eBay by Dallas' own many*shades*of*shabby)

On lunar May 7th(Jun.4 of this year), the Huangqi Mother Dragon Temple in Foshan held a grand commemorative activity to celebrate the Mother Dragon's birthday. During the ceremony, locals and travelers enjoyed a series of folk customs and traditions passing down from generations.
Traditional folk cultural performance

The worshiping Mother Dragon on her birthday(lunar May 8th ) could be traced back to 200 years ago when natives conducted celebration in different ways, featuring dragon boat races, lion dances, fund-raising, banquets,etc.
The festival, one of the most important folk customs in Lingnan area, showcased the unique charm of Lingnan culture.

I grew up in Iowa and moved to Colorado for my undergraduate studies. I went to medical school in the San Fransisco Bay Area and then did my residency in internal medicine in Parkersburg, West Virginia. I have an extremely supportive husband and three young daughters. The most rewarding part of being a doctor is being able to support patients in some of the most difficult times in their lives and to help them feel empowered even in those challenging circumstances.
I love to work with my patients to take control of their health. I enjoy working in hospital medicine because of the complexity and challenge of the care required. It's wonderful to see that people who start out gravely ill can make dramatic recoveries in a matter of days. My physician partners, the nursing staff, pharmacists, care managers and respiratory, physical, occupational and speech therapists all communicate frequently to provide smooth and cohesive care. When it is time for discharge, we also communicate with your outpatient providers and help arrange outpatient referrals so that you have seamless transitions when returning home.
I am very involved in my church community. I also enjoy running and working out. I love to sew and knit, particularly clothing for my little girls.

text: 2GramCam's trap influenced stories are always just as entertaining as the impressive chords and melodies that back him up, and today he and LuxGoCrazy bring us that with their new single Let's Do It. 2GramCam has flown under the radar for a while now, but artists of his stature only remain so for a little bit, and in no time you'll see his name everywhere. Just a month ago he released TrapTopia 2, his biggest project yet, and it's looking like he will have an even bigger year than his last. Make sure you keep an eye out for his future releases and check out the new single below.

With a single month remaining in 2017, automakers are ramping up sales efforts in the hopes of finishing the year on a high note. At this time of year, most stores deploy all the tools in their arsenal, from magical incentives to generous trade-in values, in a bid to compete with consumer dollars generally spent elsewhere during December.
The preceding month was solid but not stunning, leading some to openly wonder if this'll be the first year since the Bankruptcy Days that total industry sales will be a few units less than the previous 12 months.
Absent of Nissan's numbers as of this writing (thanks what the company described as a "significant IT systems outage"), the U.S. auto market held its ground in November. Assuming the duo of Nissan and Infiniti sold roughly the same amount of cars as this time last year, the entire market was virtually flat, off less than two-tenths of a percent to a monthly total somewhere in the ballpark of 1.3 million units sold in November.
[UPDATE] After fixing its IT snafu, Nissan reported strong sales for both the Nissan and Infiniti brands, bringing the total units sold for all brands who report their sales to just under sixteen million vehicles, year-to-date, in 2017.
Year-to-date, the story is largely the same, with – using the same assumptions about Nissan – the number of automobiles sold to American customers year-to-date in 2017 remaining largely the same as it was 12 months ago. We will update this post with complete numbers when they become available.
Notably, the Ford brand sold 14,284 more vehicles in November 2017 than it did during the same month in 2016, the only stand-alone brand to crack the 200,000 mark. Honda also saw major gains, recording an 8.2 percent increase in November sales versus the same time period last year. Having the CR-V and Pilot sell like proverbial hotcakes (up 25 percent to 32,206 and 57 percent to 12,189 respectively), and with the Civic posting continual YoY increases since July, surely explains Honda's robust numbers.
According to the industry buffs at Kelly Blue Book, the average transaction price of a vehicle in America hit an all-time high of $35,870, no doubt driven by the manufacturer proclivity to finance new vehicle over extremely long-term notes. Most of those are, naturally, high(er) profit SUVs and crossovers.
While the total number of sales may be largely flat compared to this time last year, one can safely say the amount of profit raked in is greater — all thanks to all those high-margin units finding homes in driveways across America.

I read they were selling over 10,000 units per quarter of the model S, I can't find where I read that but its not insignificant if true. Weather or not it can be done and come anywhere close to breaking even is another issue altogether. It seems that there is so much animosity towards them on the car sites I read these past months.

Speed3December 3rd, 2017 at 9:34 am
Per goodcarbadcar they sold 5,100 last month with a YTD of 50,000. So that's about the same as Porsche.
I have also ready that the monthly volume of Model 3s is still in the hundreds, that's probably the key figure to watch – how quickly they can ramp up production.
Login to reply
SCE to AUXDecember 3rd, 2017 at 11:23 pm
You can see all EV sales here:
Tesla's numbers are always an estimate until their quarterly reports come out.
Insideevs' estimates for US numbers are:
November 2017
Model S – 1335
Model X – 1875
Model 3 – 345
Model S – 22085
Model x – 18015
Model 3 – 712
The one to watch is the Model 3, because its annual production is supposed to far exceed the S and X, and it will be the future of the company.

Yea, I'm sure Toyota is secretly deeply disappointed that they have to resort to high revenue, high profit Lexus sales in order to beat Fo Mo Co.
On a serious note, why are ford's numbers here not matching their press release? Was there a revision, or is this a TTAC error?

stukiDecember 3rd, 2017 at 12:19 pm
Not sure if this scenario is repeated enough times to make a meaningful difference, but an acquaintance, VERY surprisingly, bought a Tundra over an F150, simply due to Ford requiring some sky high, pimped out $60+K trim level to fit radar cruise and related tech.
While Toyota and Honda are both busy making it standard, on everything from Ace-of-Base mopeds on up. Which it should be, as it's cheap as heck to fit if you buy in OEM volumes, and the pedestrian detection and auto-emergency-brake feature requiring the same hardware, literally do save lives. The latter probably doubly so in a tall hooded pickup, although I doubt anyone has bothered to break those out for individual study.

Toyota is more like GM and VW than Ford which is a smaller company. Ford does not even have RWD car platform. Difference is pretty small though and Lincoln was mishandled for decades. Lincoln was the best selling luxury brand in 1989-90.

"Ford does not even have RWD car platform."
Is the Mustang FWD or AWD then?

Dy-no-mite JayDecember 3rd, 2017 at 6:55 am
And anyways, most people buying cars, buy fwd. Besides, the most popular and profitable vehicle types right now are the crossover and suv, which Ford has no shortage of as that is what they are (smartly) investing in. Between Ford and Lincoln, I count no less than 9 currently available with at least 2 more on the way.
And all of this ignores the frosting on their cake that is the f series pickup.

GENERAL MOTORS MAKES GARBAGE (including your beloved Buick garbage, now made in China with 88% Chinese-sourced parts, exported to American-flag waving Buick Dealerships).
How many times do people have to be burned by the steaming piles of sh!t that the taxpayer bailed out, bankrupted GM, before they avoid at all costs!
*I had a Mercedes GLC with 2,300 miles on the odometer for 3 days this week on a biz trip and it was an unmitigated pile of steaming sh!t, also. It was *literally* 1 to 1 1/2 notches above a Nissan Rogue, with a cheap interior, overly stiff suspension, severely compromised rear cargo space, a very un-Mercedes like flexing chassis, a diesel loud POS 2.0T liter 4 banger, and idiotic controls (anyone who spends even 70% of the MSRP on either a Mercedes CLA [see my prior review] or GLC is a f'ing moron who would be better off with the equivalent Hyundai products). What an overpriced, cheap-feeling, cheap-sounding, turd shaped lump of sh!t of a vehicle, yet another of the Mercedes rentals I have had recently. The fact that Mercedes is using the same 2.0T in this GLCrap also in the C and *gasp* E class is SACRILEGIOUS AND BEYOND A MORTAL SIN!

I haven't driven on but I have driven an Impala. I have a more favorable opinion of Impala since driving one. Both the Lacrosse and Impala are really nice looking and comfortable cars.

ISLAMABAD: The latest money laundering case against the Shahbaz Sharif family appears to be the most serious among all cases presently being pursued by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against them.
Independent sources agree that the money laundering case in which the Shahbaz Sharif family is alleged to have been found involved is a general practice of big businessmen of Pakistan who don't show their full profits to avoid taxes and thus launder their untaxed income by using Hundi and remittances modes.
However, despite this "usual practice" of big businessmen, this case may really haunt the Sharif family because of the kind of evidence about the alleged doubtful remittances worth $29 million received by different family members of Shahbaz Sharif.
For any political family that has ruled Pakistan for years, it is said, such "usual practices", which could be overlooked for ordinary businessman, can't be justified. It is said that though Shahbaz Sharif personally did not receive any of these remittances, it could seriously dent him politically if the alleged doubtful remittances received by all members of his family are proven in the court of law.
According to a source, if scrutiny of the sugar business alone is done, in most cases a huge amount of remittances would be found making assets of sugar mill owners/directors. It is explained that if the cost of sugar produced is Rs100, its sale value would be around Rs200, but as most of the sale is in cash they show the sale value as Rs120 and send the remaining Rs80 overseas via Hundi.
As is the general practice even in other many businesses in Pakistan, the untaxed huge profits sent abroad through Hundi are brought back to Pakistan via foreign remittances, which as per the law of the land are exempt from any questions and thus pave the way for whitening of untaxed black money. In certain cases, the untaxed money sent abroad through informal channels is used to build offshore properties/accounts.
The source said if accounts of owners of all sugar mills were checked they will show such huge incoming remittances. Many of the sugar mills here belong to political families including those representing the PML-N, PPP and PTI. It is said that even wealth of at least two political families, doing sugar business and now representing PTI, also shows huge inflow of remittances.
Referring to the poultry business, a source said only one particular businessman in this category had annual remittance of billions of rupees. The source said it's possible that the money that arrived in Shahbaz Sharif family accounts was partially from sugar and poultry businesses.
"The Sharifs should have been smarter and should have realized that being politicians they can be under scrutiny anytime and therefore should not have adopted such methods but I guess lust overwhelms logic," the source said, adding that now even if they can claim immunity as remittances were exempt from scrutiny till March 31, 2018, the political damage will be done and their moral standing diminished.

Mixing the FAST power of Social & Mobile Media
Mixing Music, Mobile and Social for Lee Harris
During the past couple of months we've been helping Musician Lee Harris to harness the combined power of Twitter, Facebook, and Flowd by launching a REMIX Contest for Lee's newly released single FAST.
How we did it…
We tapped into our music network to assemble a panel of esteemed DJs and music experts to collectively pick a winning remix. We then promoted the Remix contest using only social and mobile communication channels. We worked with influential bloggers and music communities to spread the word and they reacted FAST.
The contest caught the imagination of Remixers from all over the world who submitted their entries up onto SoundCloud.
The Results
The contest ran from Jan 5th to February 15th and during that time we received a great selection of 105 Remixes! The winning remix is available to listen to below.
The winning remix (by Danny Stubbs) will be released as a featured single on Lee's FAST EP in April/May 2012.
Thank you to all those taking part and helping us to move Lee's music into a new dimension.

Here's what happened...
I don't know whether it was terrible or wonderful, but here's what happened.
I came home and opened the door. A bat flew out and hit me in the face. A big bat, with wings and feet. I turned and ran but it chased me. So I chopped it in half. Then it died. The bat. It died because I chopped it in half. Does this make sense? Have I explained the situation well? I chopped the bat in half and it died, and the reason it died is that I had chopped it in half. The two events are not unrelated.
It was not my hand which chopped the bat in half, it was the weapon in my hand. The weapon in my hand was a Japanese Bushido-style katana forged and sharpened in the 16th century by a Shinto monk living in the foothills of Mount Takatsuma. This is a dangerous weapon, even when wielded by an ignorant redneck such as myself. I chopped the bat in half, and it died.
I had purchased the sword at a pawn shop, using money from the sale of a diamond ring which I had brought in with me. The diamond ring wasn't mine. I had gotten it from a dead woman at the laundromat. She was dead. I found her. Someone had chopped her in half. That's what killed her. The diamond ring was on her finger and I took it. That's all.
When I sold the diamond ring to the pawnshop, I had not intended to buy the sword. All I wanted was the money. I was probably going to use it to buy drugs. That's the truth. I wanted drugs, and that's all. Bad drugs, if I could find them. I wanted to get run over by cars and not feel it. I wanted to chew on trees. I wanted to get naked and stand in the middle of the road, screaming.
But I saw the sword and decided to buy it instead. So I bought it. That's what I did. I'm not lying about that. I'm not lying about anything, believe me. I'm a good person, even though I enjoy doing bad things. Big fucking deal.
Anyway, I bought the sword and I took it home and opened the door and the bat flew out at my face and chased me down the driveway and I used the sword to chop the motherfucker in half. It died. It was dead, just like the lady in the laundromat—whom I did not kill, by the way. She was just laying there and I found her. She was dead. She had a diamond ring on her hand and I took it.
Was that wrong?
I can't remember. I sold it.
You may be wondering why I've told you this story.
Are you? Are you confused?

Abstract: The management of complexity is proving to be a major issue for organisations, as are problems of reliability and flexibility. It is widely agreed that these problems can be traced to organisational architectures emphasising centralisation and control. A solution to the problem of complexity lies then, not in developing more sophisticated approaches to the 'management of complexity', but in cutting back the complexity at source. A range of alternative architectures has emerged, in both industrial settings and in technological systems, where the emphasis is on building autonomy into nested sequences of operational entities; in these architectures, the achievement of system order arises as an issue of coordination of these semi-autonomous entities rather than centralised control over the atomistic operations themselves. Examples of this solution are given in cellular manufacturing, robotic systems, software engineering ('object-oriented programming') and in communication systems. These solutions are generalised as 'holonic organisational architecture' (after Koestler's 1967 terminological innovation) and their general properties derived. Use is made of a triad of relations which arises naturally from the holonic perspective: there are first order relations pertaining to holons themselves; second order relations pertaining to inter-holonic integration at any particular level; and third order relations linking the total system to its holonic constituents. The dynamic properties of holonic systems are demonstrated, again using the triad of relations, such as in organisational learning and innovation. These insights are applied in some remarks concerning the prescriptive use of the holonic perspective, in the design of holonic systems. Finally the paper looks beyond techno-organisational constructs to find evidence of holonic architectures throughout the natural and biological world, adding further support to the resilience and robustness of this structure. Its significance as a comprehensive alternative to the still dominant hierarchical organisational architecture is thereby underlined.
Keywords: Holonic systems, organisational architecture, cellular manufacturing, organisational learning, organisational design, sociotechnical systems, object-oriented programming, holonic robotic systems, heterarchical manufacturing systems, holism, evolution by association, hypercycles, endosymbiosis, artificial life

From Ursula:
It is amazing to watch the play out and the timing. It was likely the Facebook post that triggered (pun intended) the 11 year old to come out. The Gun fight is appropriate. I liked when her parts first showed up, that they were armed but didn't want to fight. We don't have to fight. Fighting rarely gets us the results we are looking for. When we feel armed, that is enough. I can fight if I have to, if I want to, but I would rather keep MY peace. That's a move in the right direction, when we can protect ourselves, provide safety for ourselves, and choose peace. Our strong parts can defend our sweet parts. Our angry parts can inspire our strong parts to show up for our system. All parts are welcome. There is a time and a place for anger, but it doesn't have to do the talking NOR the decision making. That is power, that is self love.

The Effect of Bluetooth Hearing Aids
There are two problems with making phone calls: 1. The phone screams when it is close to the hearing aid, unable to answer the phone, and cannot hear clearly when it is far away; 2. The sound of surrounding environment interferes with the voice coming from the phone, making the user unable to hear clearly what is said on the phone. So what's the solution to both of these problems? You can keep the phone away from your ears, hear what's going on inside the phone, and not be distracted by outside sounds. Therefore, the manufacturer solved this problem through mature Bluetooth technology. First you need a hearing aid that supports Bluetooth technology, and a Bluetooth receiver, after the checker pairs your hearing aid with a Bluetooth receiver, use your phone to search and bind the signal to the Bluetooth receiver. So what does this look like? First of all, when you have a call coming in, there will be an incoming call prompt sound inside the hearing aid. You just need to press the answer button on the Bluetooth receiver to connect the call. You don't need to take out the phone and put it on your ear. This eliminates the possibility of the phone coming close to the hearing aid and producing a roar. In addition, if you feel that the noise around you when you answer the phone interferes with your normal calls, you can ask your checker to set up a program, when you answer the phone, the hearing aid reduces or does not accept the external sound. More importantly, if you wear a hearing aid with both ears, you can also use a two-ear phone, so that both ears can hear the sound inside the phone, so that you can hear more clearly.
Talk about watching TV. Hearing aid wearers often complain that the sound of the TV is hard to hear, or that someone talking nearby interferes with your watching TV. Turn the TV up loud enough to hear it clearly, but the family watching TV with you can't stand it. It's noisy. When the sound is turned down, the family feels comfortable, but the hearing aid user can't hear clearly. The result is often your family does not accompany you to watch TV or you silently watching subtitles. What's the reason? This is because the sound signal from the TV is attenuated, and the echo in the room, together with the influence of transmission distance and other factors, makes it difficult for you to hear clearly when using the microphone. What can we do about it?
Also, first wear a hearing aid that supports Bluetooth technology, a Bluetooth receiver, and a TV Bluetooth adapter. The verifier matches the hearing aid to a Bluetooth receiver and then connects the TV to the TV Bluetooth adapter. Finally, pair the Bluetooth receiver and the TV adapter according to the instruction. In this way, the sound inside the TV can be transmitted directly to your ears, which is equivalent to closing the distance between you and the TV. There is no need to turn up the TV sound. Family members and you watch TV without interference. Also, if you feel that the ambient sound is interfering with your TV watching, you can still ask your verifier to adjust a program to reduce or do not accept external sound when watching TV, only listen to the sound inside the TV.
The mature bluetooth style hearing amplifier will bring more convenience to your life. I wish all hearing aids users will have a relaxed and happy life.

MHG6072 - Dun Gearymore, Skye
No summary available.
Type and Period (1)
- BROCH (Iron Age - 550 BC to 560 AD)
Protected Status
Full Description
Dun Gearymore, NG26SW0001
It is difficult to get a sense of this broch as a monumental roundhouse, intended to display the wealth and status of the agricultural community who lived within it, from the low mound of stones which is all that is left. On close examination, however, traces of cells and intra-mural passages do survive within the thickness of the walls. (59)
The dilapidated state of the broch is the result of stone robbing in the eighteenth century to build nearby Unish House (now abandoned). At a slightly later date, rectangular buildings, representing the latest phase of occupation of the adjacent township, were also built out of stones from the broch, before this settlement was abandoned in its turn. (57)
In spite of this later use, the possibly contemporary landscape of Dun Gearymore is still recognisable. Just to the west is a group of roundhouses, less substantially built than the broch tower, and perhaps occupied by less important members of the group.

Information from SCRAN Project, March, 2000
Situated on the S end of the summit of hill; the broch has been severely robbed, presumably in order to provide stone for the many later buildings from several periods nearby. The rocky knoll on which the broch sits has been additionally protected by a wall, intermittent traces of which are still visible, and also by the deepening of the natural gully on the SE side of the broch, which presumably also provided a convenient quarry for building stone. The outer wall runs along the top of the cliff edge on the S side and is clearly visible, where it fills in a crack in the rock. On the W and N, it appears to be some 2.3m thick and on the SE it is visible along the side of the gully. The course of this outer work is, however, not clear on the NE side.
The broch measures some 10.2m in diameter within a wall about 3.4m in thickness; the line of the outer face may be traced throughout its circuit. On the S only the lowest course of the outer face survives, but the rubble core still stands to a height of 2.5m. The outer band of walling has been heavily robbed, but the inner portion stands to a height of at least 2.5m. The inner face is visible intermittently above the rubble that chokes the interior. A distinct scarcement ledge some 0.4m broad can be seen at one point on the E. The entrance is in the SW quadrant and has been cleared out since the Commission's visit in 1915; it is now too choked with debris for further description. Set within the thickness of the wall on the NNE there is a pair of conjoined cells with a single entrance-passage from the interior of the broch; the W cell measures 2.2m by 1.2m with the walling rising to a height of 0.9m. The E cell is less well preserved and measures 1.5m by 1m internally with the corbelled walling standing to a height of 0.3m above the rubble that fills the interior. On the W side, robbing has revealed the end of a passage in the thickness of the wall that leads to a blocked creep, opening into the interior of the broch at its far end.

News Briefs
European presence
Nuvonyx (Bridgeton, MO) has acquired Thales Laser Diode TLD (Paris, France). TLD was a laser division of Thales and has been providing laser diodes to the market place for more than 15 years. As part of the acquisition strategy Nuvonyx will change TLD's name to Nuvonyx Europe SA.
"This acquisition will allow us to expand our product line to now offer both actively and passively cooled CW and QCW laser diode devices," said Nuvonyx president and CEO Mark Zediker. "It also provides Nuvonyx an immediate strategic presence in the European market, which is a critical link in our diode component and industrial laser system future growth strategy. The acquisition will benefit Nuvonyx and TLD as well as our customers by increasing market channels and product distribution on a global scale."
Higher power
A high-energy, solid-state laser developed by Northrop Grumman (Redondo Beach, CA) for the U.S. military has fired one of the most powerful beams yet produced by an electric laser of more than 27 kW with a run time of 350 seconds. In posting those achievements, the company said it surpassed the power and run time requirements of the Joint High Power Solid-State Laser (JHPSSL) Phase 2 demonstration program, a military effort to leap frog speed-of-light technology. In a separate test, the laser demonstrated excellent beam quality at 19 kW, showing how well the beam can be focused and thus get to a target. The JHPSSL program was funded by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (Kirtland Air Force Base, NM), and the Office of the Secretary of Defense-Joint Technology Office (Albuquerque, NM).
A major fire October 30 at Southampton University's Highfield Campus (Southampton, England) partially destroyed the Mountbatten Building, in particular the area containing the microfabrication facility. The Mountbatten Building houses several laser laboratories and offices for the Optoelectronics Research Centre and the School of Electronics and Computer Science. According to news reports, no one was hurt in the fire but the building was gutted, and It took more than 100 firefighters nearly ten hours to bring the fire under control. Damages are estimated at £50 million (US$88 million). For more details about the extent of the damage and what the university is doing to move forward with various research projects, go to www.orc.soton.ac.uk/news/fire.
Patent license
Unaxis Optics (Balzers, Lichtenstein) and Premier Image Technology Corporation, a digital still camera manufacturer based in Taiwan, have signed a global licensing agreement on patents owned by Unaxis Optics related to ColorWheels and their use in color sequential projectors. The nonexclusive agreement covers Unaxis-owned U.S. patents #6,024,453 and #5,868,482 and corresponding patents in other European and Asian countries either already granted or still pending. ColorWheels are used for all types of sequential color management in multimedia projection systems such as Digital Light Processing technology.
Series A
Luminetx (Memphis, TN), which has developed an IR vein-imaging system dubbed the VeinViewer, has secured $11 million in Series A preferred financing. The funds will help the company ramp up production of the VeinViewer to meet demand for the technology from healthcare centers. In addition, some proceeds are expected to support development efforts of other technologies within the Luminetx portfolio. The company also plans to increase its size in office space and number of employees.
Luminetx began operations in early 2005 with an "angel'' round of financing that raised $4 million. Since that time, the company has secured patents, begun production, signed distribution agreements and presented at medical trade shows across the country. VeinViewer is a venous imaging system that uses IR light to capture an image of subcutaneous veins, them projects the venous pattern in visible light onto the patient's skin.
New distributor
nLight (Vancouver, WA), a manufacturer of high-power semiconductor lasers, signed an exclusive agreement with Lastek Group of Companies (Adelaide, South Australia) to distribute its products in Australia and New Zealand. Lastek will be responsible for sales and service of all of nLight's extensive CW and QCW high-power visible and near-infrared diode laser product lines. Founded in 1988 by company president Alex Stanco, Lastek is a distributor, manufacturer, and exporter of photonics-based research instruments.
In related news,Joseph DeBartolo has joined nLight as vice president of sales and marketing. Prior to joining nLight, DeBartolo was vice president sales and marketing at Digital Optics Corporation.
Patent litigation
Lumileds Lighting (San Jose, CA) has initiated litigation for patent infringement against LED manufacturers Epistar and United Epitaxy Company (UEC). Both Epister and UEC are located in the Hsin-chu Science-based Industrial Park in Taiwan, China, and last August Epistar announced a merger with UEC, slated for completion by the end of this year. Lumileds filed a complaint against both companies at the United States International Trade Commission (ITC; Washington, DC). In that complaint, Lumileds accuses Epistar's omnidirectional mirror adhesion AlGaInP LED products and UEC's metal bond and glue bond AlGaInP LED products of infringing one or more of Lumileds' patents: U.S. Patents #5,008,718, #5,376,580, and #5,502,316. Lumileds seeks an exclusion order barring entry into the United States of the accused LEDs as well as products containing those LEDs.
Lumileds also filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California for patent infringement against UEC and Epistar. In that complaint, Lumileds asserts the same patents against UEC and Epistar as in the ITC litigation. Lumileds seeks both an injunction against future infringement as well as damages, including enhanced damages for willful infringement.
Equity financing
Nanosys (Palo Alto, CA), a privately held company focused on developing nanotechnology-enabled products, has raised approximately $40 million in a private equity financing. This financing was led by El Dorado Ventures and includes new investors Masters Capital, Medtronic, Inc., Wasatch Advisors, and others. In addition, there was strong participation from existing investors including Alexandria Equities, ARCH Venture Partners, CDIB BioScience Ventures, CW Group, Harris & Harris Group, Inc., In-Q-Tel, Intel Capital, H.B. Fuller Company, Lux Capital, Polaris Venture Partners, Prospect Venture Partners, UOB Hermes Asia Technology Fund, and Venrock Associates.
Nanosys will use this funding for the ongoing development and manufacturing scale-up of products that incorporate its proprietary, inorganic nanostructures with integrated functionality for multiple industries. Current product development programs include chemical analysis chips for pharmaceutical drug research, fuel cells for portable electronics, nanostructures for displays and phased array antennas, non-volatile memory for electronic devices, and solid state lighting products.
Optical merger
EMCORE Corporation (Somerset, NJ), a provider of compound semiconductor-based components and subsystems for the broadband, fiber optic, satellite, and wireless communications markets, acquired privately-held Phasebridge (Pasadena, CA), including its specialty products, technologies, and business, through an asset acquisition that closed on November 8. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The Phasebridge operations will be integrated over the next several weeks into the Ortel division of EMCORE, located in Alhambra, CA, and the core group of Phasebridge's technical and engineering staff has joined EMCORE. EMCORE management anticipates that this transaction will increase its projected fiscal 2006 revenues by approximately $2 million.
Imaging acquisition
Cedip Infrared Systems (Croissy-Beaubourg, France), a global supplier of infrared imaging cameras and systems, has acquired PolyTech AB (Stockholm, Sweden), a manufacturer of gyro-stabilized airborne platforms. The acquisition, details of which were not revealed, marks a further important move for Cedip in their development of IR imaging solutions for military and civilian surveillance markets. Founded in 1990, PolyTech AB has established a strong international reputation as a specialist designer and manufacturer of gyro-stabilised balls and turrets.
Nano investment
Nanoident (Linz, Austria) appointed the Austrian entrepreneur Ulrich Stepski to its Advisory Board. Simultaneously, the Stepski private foundation acquired a substantial share in Nanoident through a private equity placement. Nanoident specializes in the development and production of opto-electronics sensors based on organic semiconductors. At the "Plastic Electronics Congress & Showcase" in Frankfurt, Germany in early October, Nanoident presented the first high-resolution organic semiconductor-based photodetector for high-volume applications.
Laser-guided bomb
Lockheed Martin (Archbald, PA) has been selected to develop, qualify and produce the Paveway II Dual Mode Laser Guided Bomb (DMLGB), the next-generation precision-guided weapon system for the U.S. Navy. The contract calls for a 2006 procurement worth $65 million and a five-year procurement with a potential value of $266 million. The program will upgrade the Navy's inventory of legacy Paveway II kits by replacing an existing Computer Control Group system with an Inertial Navigation System/Global Positioning System, an all-weather guidance system that provides dual-mode guidance capability. The DMLGB minimizes collateral damage and improves mission effectiveness by providing precision strike capabilities in all weather at extended standoff ranges.

Freezing temps, fewer daylight hours, and post-holiday blues -- there's enough to put you in a slump this time of year. Avoid all of that with a cheap Caribbean vacation this winter. Using Oyster-specific data from last winter (December 2017 through March 2018), we found the average hotel price per night in various Caribbean locales. We also took into account things like airfare (mostly from major city airports) as well as food and entertainment prices. From Martinique to Guadeloupe, these 10 Caribbean destinations offer a nice, warm respite on the cheap.
Dominican Republic
A beautiful natural landscape, warm weather and even warmer locals, a rich history, convenient flights, and wallet-friendly prices are just a few of the reasons to escape to the Dominican Republic this winter. The country is home to a large selection of all-inclusive resorts, especially in places like Punta Cana and Puerto Plata, so value-oriented visitors can save by booking hotels where everything (food, liquor, activities) is included. Punta Cana also offers affordable zip-lining, windsurfing, kayaking, and golfing. Plus, with eight international airports on the island, this destination is not only inexpensive, but also easy to reach.
Our Hotel Pick: Majestic Colonial Punta Cana
The Majestic Colonial Punta Cana is one of three upscale all-inclusive sister properties on a beautiful stretch of Bavaro Beach. The property closed completely for two months in 2017 to thoroughly renovate the lobby and restaurants. It now operates almost as two resorts: the family-friendly side and the adult-only Colonial Club side. The 658 suites are attractive with marble floors, jetted tubs, and some ocean views.
Pricing for Majestic Colonial Punta Cana
Come for the relatively inexpensive hotel rates, stay for the near-perfect weather. Situated off the north coast of Venezuela, this Dutch Caribbean island is somewhat of a hidden gem, lacking that overrun touristy feel of other Caribbean destinations. But it does boast a big airport, which means more frequent and less-expensive flights. The postcard-perfect beaches make it a popular spot for scuba divers, while the capital, Willemstad, features photogenic colonial architecture, the floating Queen Emma Bridge, and other cultural attractions.
Our Hotel Pick: Van Der Valk Kontiki Beach Resort
The upper-mid-range Kontiki Beach Resort aims to create the feeling of a tropical paradise, and generally succeeds; lush green foliage surrounds its four romantic lagoon-style pools and the 80 modern rooms, constructed in dark wood from Brazil, feel tucked away in the jungle. The vibe is young and trendy, especially at the Cabana Beach restaurant and beach club next door, where some nights the party goes into the wee hours.
Pricing for Van Der Valk Kontiki Beach Resort
St. Martin/St. Maarten
Split between the French and Dutch, St. Martin and St. Maarten have distinctly different governments, languages, cuisine, currencies, and overall vibes. In other words, you'll know when you've crossed the border — even though there isn't a strict one. But even with their differences, the two find common ground — both sides boast excellent beaches with crystal clear waters. When booking a vacation on a budget, opt for staying on the Dutch side. Not only do more flights frequent this area, but it's also cheaper. Here, visitors will find large, all-inclusive resorts packed with entertainment, as opposed the more secluded, intimate accommodations on the French side. Bonus: Sint Maarten's capital of Philipsburg has great shopping and lively nightlife.
Our Hotel Pick: Belmond La Samanna
Easily the most luxurious resort in St. Martin, the 55-acre La Samanna resort brings tranquility to an otherwise tourist-filled island. Featuring two beautiful pools, an extensive wine cellar, a yoga and Pilates studio, a European-style spa, and the island's most pristine beach, this 81-room, eight-villa retreat is hard to beat.
Pricing for Belmond La Samanna
If you're the type of traveler who likes to relax on a beach one day, then do something adventurous like hike in the rainforest the next, consider Martinique, a Caribbean island that's part of the Lesser Antilles. While there, don't miss Mont Pelée, a semi-active volcano that towers over the town of Saint-Pierre. The French-speaking island's diversity extends beyond its landscapes, and it's also home to a slew of land and sea activities. The local dining scene, which is packed with Creole and Caribbean flavors, live music, and stylish French fashion all make this year-round tropical destination worth a visit. Head to Fort-de-France, the capital city, for the stores, restaurants, clubs, and other attractions. But even with these features, Martinique remains a little off the beaten (tourist) path, which means fewer crowds. And while it has its fair share of luxury resorts and villas, the island also comes with plenty of budget-friendly options.
Our Hotel Pick: Club Med Buccaneer's Creek
On an island beset with small, mid-range properties, Club Med Buccaneer's Creek stands out for its size alone. The large, three-pearl all-inclusive offers a wide-range of amenities including one of Martinique's longest hotel beaches, a beautiful, oceanfront infinity pool, and two open-air restaurants with excellent food.
Pricing for Club Med Buccaneer's Creek
An archipelago of islands, Guadeloupe (also known as the "Butterfly Island") is endowed with physical beauty that ranges from beautiful beaches to looming volcanoes. To the east, you have Grande-Terre, which is known for its silky white sand, teal waters, and sports like snorkeling and diving. To the west lies Basse-Terre, which is home to Guadeloupe National Park and the active La Soufriere volcano. The exotic locale, which blends French and Caribbean culture, also comes with many bang-for-your-buck hotels.
Our Hotel Pick: La Toubana Hotel & Spa
This 44-room, 121-acre hotel is the top upscale option on Guadeloupe. It dominates the side of a mountain and descends gradually down to the ocean, leading to its own tiny but essentially private beach cove, complete with a long pier and platform-topped boulder. Meanwhile, up on top, an infinity pool offers a stunning view of waves crashing against a handsome cliffside. It's a dream Caribbean setting, and the rustic-luxe bungalows have enormous terraces, many with terrific ocean views.
Pricing for La Toubana Hotel & Spa
Trinidad and Tobago
Situated off the coast of Venezuela, the small country of Trinidad and Tobago comprises two islands. Trinidad is the larger, more industrialized island of the two, while Tobago is smaller and much more popular among tourists. The latter also offers nature reserves and beaches plus ample opportunities to go bird-watching and diving. What Trinidad lacks in beaches, it helps compensate for in historical attractions like the Magnificent Seven, a row of beautiful mansions. And while the country doesn't have extensive lodging options (in Tobago, there are small and charming beachfront boutiques, plus a couple of all-inclusive options), the price is — more often than not — right. The daily direct flights to Trinidad from major airports like JFK in New York City don't hurt either.
Our Hotel Pick: The Villas at Stonehaven
While it lacks convenient beach access, the four-pearl The Villas at Stonehaven offers a small, but stunning infinity pool and a poolside restaurant. The 14 stand-alone villas are among the most upscale and feature-rich accommodations in Tobago. They include full gourmet kitchens, personal housekeepers, and private pool terraces with stunning views.
Pricing for The Villas at Stonehaven
Puerto Rico
In Puerto Rico, huge malls, golf courses, and casinos share the skyline with tropical rainforests, beautiful white-sand beaches, colorful colonial buildings, and well-preserved 15th-century Spanish forts. That means no matter what you fancy — a quiet retreat or a party destination — you'll find it on this Caribbean island. Plus, since it's an unincorporated U.S. territory, U.S. visitors need not worry about the hassles that come along with international travel. And while all-inclusive resorts are scarce, inexpensive hotels aren't tough to come by.
Our Hotel Pick: San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino
San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino is an upmarket, four-pearl resort located in San Juan's chic Condado neighborhood. The resort's 525 guest rooms are tasteful if somewhat chain-like, with all offering private balconies with city, pool, or ocean views. There are lots of on-site amenities, including a pair of lovely pools, five diverse dining options, ample meeting space, as well as a solid spa and fitness center.
Pricing for San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino
Home to beautiful beaches, a lively nightlife scene, and flavorful food, Jamaica has long been a popular Caribbean destination. The island nation is also home to many all-inclusive resorts, meaning visitors can find inexpensive accommodations at massive, all-expenses-pre-paid hotels, particularly in Montego Bay. This region is also a solid choice for budget travelers because it is where you can find Jamaica's busiest airport. However, Negril is another wallet-friendly option, and most would argue that the beaches here (Seven-Mile Beach especially) are more beautiful.
Our Hotel Pick: Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa
Located 45-minutes west of Montego Bay, Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort and Spa feels a world away from anywhere. Even compared to the island's typical large hotel complexes, the three-and-a-half-pearl mega-resort is massive. With an 86,000-square-foot pool complex, ten restaurants, late-night entertainment, and eight bars with nearly 24-hour drinking opportunities, it's easy to imagine that most guests will never leave the property.
Pricing for Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa
At first glance, it might be easy to view the white and pink sand beaches and breathtaking coral reefs of Barbados as a clichéd Caribbean island experience, but there's more to it than that. The island has developed quickly from an impoverished sugar based economy to a democracy with one of the highest literacy rates in the Western Hemisphere. Despite these impressive changes, the friendly locals (known as Bajans) maintain a noticeable amount of British customs from their colonial past, such as afternoon tea time and driving on the left — but don't worry, an extensive bus system makes it easy (and inexpensive) to get around. Barbados also stands out from other Caribbean islands with the diverse set of visitors it attracts, ranging from budget travelers to luxury vacationers. The calm luxurious beaches of the west coast attract the majority of tourists, but the windswept east coast attracts a fair share as well, with surfer-friendly shores facing the Atlantic.
Our Hotel Pick: Waves Hotel & Spa by Elegant Hotels
With competitive pricing, lovely rooms, and great on-site amenities, this 70-room boutique hotel will attract people who never thought they'd choose an all-inclusive package. With three restaurants, cabanas on the terrace, and a late-night lounge, Waves has a contemporary appeal especially for couples (though families aren't overlooked). Spacious rooms are modern and bright, and most have glass-balconies (oceanfront rooms are worth the cost for the sunsets alone).
Pricing for Waves Hotel & Spa by Elegant Hotels
U.S. Virgin Islands
If you avoid the major ports where cruise ships dock, you can often find a solid deal on a hotel in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the three main islands are St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas — or you can choose to go super-budget and camp on the beaches of smaller islands, such as Water Island. As they have for the past 400 years (back all the way to the time of the pirates of yore), people come to these islands mainly to drink, relax on the beach, and bargain shop — often, in just that order.
Our Hotel Pick: The Westin St. John Resort Villas
he four-pearl Westin St. John Resort Villas is the largest resort on tiny St. John. The decor is typical of the Westin brand, with meticulous landscaping and modern, upscale interiors. Features include a soft sand beach, a large pool, two beachfront restaurants, and a full-service spa and salon.
Pricing for The Westin St. John Resort Villas
What to Bring: Sunscreen
Don't let a bad sunburn ruin your Caribbean vacation. Snag some sunscreen before you fly from Amazon!
