Under The Jasmin Tree + Space
The two albums presented here capture a moment in time when, in 1968 and '69, the vision of the Modern Jazz Quartet was realized in full. The raison d'être was to democratize jazz, to develop jazz and to encourage jazz to flourish in pastures new. Under The Jasmin Tree and Space did just that. But not without a little help from their friends.
The Modern Jazz Quartet comprised John Lewis (piano), Milt Jackson (vibraphone), Percy Heath (bass) and Connie Kay (drums). The group's origins went way back, to just after World War II when its founding musicians first came together under the tutelage of bebop pioneer Dizzy Gillespie. By 1960, as The Beatles emerged from the skiffle chrysalis that had been The Quarrymen, the MJQ had been established nearly 10 years, and its members had been playing together (in Gillespie's band and then in their own) for nearly fifteen. As the Sixties began, the MJQ remained hot property and at home in America enjoyed a popularity that was only rivalled, in concert appearances and album sales, by Dave Brubeck and Miles Davis.
Almost a decade further on from that and the world of the MJQ collided, beautifully and briefly, with that of The Beatles. One quartet consisted of super cool jazz improvisers, the other boundary-breaking pop polymaths. The MJQ was still up there, still together, and still commanding huge respect and impressive audiences. The Beatles were destined to split shortly afterwards.
Before they too separated, the MJQ clocked up 22 years together, an unprecedented timespan for an original four-piece, of any genre. The split came in 1974, after the memorable Last Concert at the Lincoln Centre in New York City. But the group reconvened in 1981 and issued its final recording in 1993, the year that their debut album for The Beatles' Apple label, Under The Jasmin Tree, was reissued for the first time.
That album was originally released in 1968, followed by Space in 1969. Both shine brightly in the Quartet's extensive catalogue, not just for their brilliantly understated melodic statements, their fluid, organic jazz, but for the era-defining psychedelic artwork that adorned their sleeves, and the fact that they appeared on Apple. The vast majority of the MJQ's albums appeared under the aegis of the US music industry giant and jazz trailblazer that was Atlantic Records.
Although The Beatles once famously sang that they had no kick against modern jazz, they couldn't honestly claim to be responsible for bringing about the MJQ's two-album secondment to Apple. In fact, the instigator of this short but happy union was the first Head of Apple Records, the fondly remembered Ron Kass. Ron was the seasoned American record company professional head-hunted from Liberty Records. He was also the biggest jazz fan at Apple's HQ, 3 Savile Row in London. "I loved Ron, he was exactly what we needed," recalls Peter Asher, Apple's Head of A&R at the time. "He was knowledgeable, he knew the state of the business. He had the smooth American suit-and-tie thing going, which was what we thought Apple had to have in order to interface with the business world and the Capitol (EMI) world. We liked him, he understood us."
Peter continues: "The Modern Jazz Quartet came to Apple because Ron Kass was very friendly with Monte Kay, their manager. And Ron said, 'Wouldn't it be cool for the MJQ to do an album on Apple?' Ron's pitch was that it would make them a lot of new fans, as some Beatles fans would listen to the MJQ just because it was on Apple, and Monte really liked the idea."
Of the two MJQ albums released by Apple, one arrived ready-made, having been recorded in New York, and the other was tailor-made in London. Peter Asher: "My recollection is that they came in with one album already done, which is Under The Jasmin Tree, and Apple put that out. And then they made an album for Apple, Space, and that's the one that I co-produced with John Lewis. Or more officially, the credit says 'Produced by John Lewis. Supervised by Peter Asher'."
Both albums loomed large in the consciousness of John Lewis, the group's leader and musical director. In 1974, for the recording of The Last Concert, and with over 25 studio albums from which to select tracks, he ensured that both Under The Jasmin Tree and Space were represented. The title track from Jasmin Tree was introduced as something "that was used for film, in this case a short documentary, about the people who live in the desert part of Morocco. Our music had the kind of feel that suggests the music of the people who live in that area". The second Apple album was remembered in the form of the Adagio from Rodrigo's Concierto De Aranjuez. This was an MJQ third stream favourite — jazz meets classical — recorded several times throughout the group's career, notably as the final track on Space.
Peter Asher recalls working on Space. "I was thrilled because I too was a big jazz fan. But I'm sure they were deeply suspicious. The idea of this white English kid supervising John Lewis is clearly absurd. Although I was at least able to convince them that I knew their music. I wasn't some rock'n'roller who'd been detailed to work with them. I was a huge MJQ fan. I knew their albums. I knew exactly how they played. And I tried to play a role."
Peter's role was to achieve, with all the subtlety and grace expected when working with the MJQ, an update of the group's sound, to open it up to The Beatles' predominantly rock and pop-orientated audience. The sessions took place at the new and highly-regarded Trident Studios in London's Soho district, where state-of-the-art technology and a new approach to capturing music on tape had lured The Beatles themselves, and would at various times attract almost the entire roster of Apple's early album artists: James Taylor, Mary Hopkin, Jackie Lomax, Badfinger, Doris Troy and Billy Preston. Trident turned out to be the ideal British venue for the MJQ's unique instrumental palette of piano, vibes, bass and drums, boasting, as it did, a hand-made Bechstein concert grand (as heard on 'Hey Jude'), which sounded particularly fine when played by the impeccable John Lewis.
The MJQ was efficient and meticulous in the studio. "I remember this precisely," says Peter Asher, recalling the Trident sessions in late March 1969. "It didn't take too long. A few days. And this is what I was trying to do. I was trying to use a rock'n'roll engineer (Trident's co-owner Barry Sheffield). I always thought that jazz got recorded in a certain way with the bass a bit distant and the drums a bit woolly, and everyone said 'That's a jazz record'." Peter's efforts paid off, and the result was a perceptively different MJQ album. "A few years later when fusion started," Peter adds, "that was half the trick. They were just taking jazz and recording it like rock'n'roll. So you could actually hear the kick-drum, instead of it being somewhere across the room."
And what of the atmosphere in the studio? Of the chemistry between the 24-year-old former Peter & Gordon pin-up English pop star and the MJQ, led by the Albuquerque-raised veteran jazz magician more than twice his age? "I ended up getting on with them all very well," says Peter. "I met John Lewis first, obviously, and had several conversations with him. I convinced him that I had some idea of what I was doing. I enjoyed working with him very much."
John Lewis' modus operandi made a particular impression on the young Peter Asher: "He totally ran the show. He was the band leader in the old sense of the word. If you recall, the MJQ's whole thing was to take jazz and present it as if it was classical music. They all wore suits and ties. They were all very buttoned up and controlled, that was their thing. It was like chamber jazz. That was all him."
But the spirit of rebellion which had fuelled jazz from its inception, was still bubbling beneath the surface. Peter: "I do remember there were occasions when he would leave the studio and the other three were instantly like... jackets off, joints out, you know — the-headmaster's-gone vibe completely. They were jazzers in full sense of the word. And he was imposing this vision on them — which was very successful. The MJQ achieved a lot in white America and a lot in classical music in America that no jazz had ever achieved before. Now, in the age of Wynton Marsalis, we take a lot of that for granted. But back then, jazz was not taken seriously as an art form, and John Lewis made that happen. He put them in suits, they played Carnegie Hall — everlasting credit to him."
Working with MJQ's star soloist, vibes virtuoso Milt Jackson, was also a highlight of the Space sessions as far as Peter Asher was concerned. "Milt Jackson? I was thrilled," he readily admits. "I don't think they understood to what extent they were my heroes. I had the Milt Jackson and Ray Charles albums, all the Modern Jazz Quartet albums. I was just so excited to be in their presence, let alone to have the opportunity to record them and hear them play these songs. Milt Jackson was a genius, they all were, but Milt in particular, was one of the most soulful men in the history of music. I was in awe, and they found the whole thing a bit puzzling, I think. But they exceeded my expectations musically."
Ron Kass had been right on the money. Signing the MJQ to Apple proved to be inspired. Peter Asher concurs: "We succeeded in the aim which was 'Let's make some Beatles fans listen to some jazz, because it would be good for them. Because they are missing out. Because only the jazzbo people listened to it and, you know, that's wrong."
Now, 40 years on, Apple Records is proud to present Under The Jasmin Tree and Space once more, augmented here by an entirely suitable bonus track. Dating from March 1969, here is a newly-discovered, previously unreleased cut from the Space sessions, in which the Modern Jazz Quartet — John Lewis, Milt Jackson, Percy Heath and Connie Kay — do exceptional jazz justice to that most universal of Beatles classics, 'Yesterday'.

These are the avrdude parameters you have to adapt to your ISP programmer.
====Flashing via Bootloader====
====Flashing via Bootloader====
Version vom 21. April 2012, 00:40 Uhr
Getting the Sources
git clone http://www.0x53a.de/git/cube-3
Building the Bootloader
(Notice: You do not need this step if you have a preflashed cube, only if you want to modify the bootloader.)
You will need
- gmake
- avr-libc, avr-binutils, avr-gcc (see also AVR_Toolchain)
- avrdude
- an ISP- or JTAG-Programmer like AVR ISP mkII, usbasp, or any (avrdude-compatible, if you want to use the Makefile) other.
The bootloader is in the directory
bootloader/firmware/. It can be built with
cd cube-3/bootloader/firmware/ make
To flash it, modify the
AVRDUDE = avrdude -P usb -c avrispmkii -p m8 -p $(DEVICE)
to match your programmer. This is the line for AVR ISP mkII. If you have a programmer, you probably know how to do this, so I won't get into it.
Then apply fuse settings and flash:
make fuse make flash
Building the Bootloader Application
The Windows app is already prebuilt in the git repository. The bootloader is bootloadHID, so please inform yourself about how to do this for Windows.
For Linux, the command line application is included in
You will need libusb with headers.
cd cube-3/bootloader/commandline make
Building the Standalone Firmware
The standalone firmware simply takes a sprite file and plays it repeatedly. It is included in
src-standalone. The requirements are the same as for the Bootloader firmware.
cd cube-3/src-standalone make
There are now several ways fo flash this device. Two are:
Flashing via ISP
First is using an ISP programmer. In this case you have to adapt the file
PROGRAMMER = -c avrispmkII -P usb
These are the avrdude parameters you have to adapt to your ISP programmer.
Flashing via Bootloader
After building the bootloader commandline and the program you can immediately flash the code onto the microcontroller (if you still are in cube-3/src-standalone and if you set the flashing jumper correctly):
../bootloader/commandline/bootloadHID build/out.hex
After setting the jumper to the other position (or removing it), the LED Cube should start blinking with your new program.

Jack of all Trades Yeats's Punch Cartoons and Illustrations by Irish Painters
28 July - 2 December 2012National Gallery of IrelandAdmission free.
An exhibition of Punch cartoons by Jack B. Yeats (1871-1957) will open in the National Gallery of Ireland on Saturday, July 28, 2012. It brings together 56 of the Gallery's collection of Yeats's Punch cartoons which were published for the British weekly magazine under his pseudonym 'W.Bird'.
Yeats established a career in London as a prolific and successful black and white journalistic illustrator, submitting regularly to publications such as Paddock Life, Ariel, Chums and Lika Joko. From 1910 to 1941, Yeats contributed more than 500 cartoons to Punch magazine. To the end of his life, Yeats never admitted that he was the Punch illustrator 'W.Bird'. The Punch cartoons on display in this exhibition were purchased by the Gallery in 2004.
Pauline Swords, NGI Yeats Archivist and co-curator of the exhibition, says: "This exhibition provides a wonderful opportunity to highlight a little-known aspect of Jack Yeats's career as an illustrator. His Punch cartoons offer an insight into the artist's dry humour and fertile imagination, an aspect of his character that also manifested itself in his work as a painter."
The exhibition is complemented by archive material from Yeats's personal library and archive, including a number of works on loan from the National Library of Ireland and Trinity College Dublin. It also features original and published illustrations, and cartoons by other Irish artists: Richard Caulfield Orpen (1863-1938), William Crampton Gore (1871-1946), James Mahony (c.1816-1859), Henry Edward Doyle (1827-1892), Mathew James Lawless (1837-1864); Richard Thomas Moynan (1857-1906) and Harry Jones Thaddeus (c.1859-1929). These works illustrate the wider practice of commercial illustration by Irish painters.
The exhibition is curated by Pauline Swords (NGI Yeats Archivist) and Donal Maguire (NGI Administrator, Centre for the Study of Irish Art). A brochure is published to accompany the exhibition.

Since the turkey season's closed 12/31 I have been out recruiting trappers for the areas I hunt. There are way too many predators of all types around. Some we can't do anything about like eagles, hawks and owls but raccoons, fox, coyotes can be cut down to size. Personally I don't care to trap any longer so I went to the public areas in search of trappers. Boy did I find some very grateful to meet me trappers. Some have been given access to my land and the surrounding neighbor's land. Other trappers I introduced to the farmers and foresters who grant me permission to hunt their land. Some of the trappers are young men with little experience so I gave them some of my old traps to expand their lines with and a little mentoring on technique.
The trappers who were once competing for a limited resource on public land now are going for a plentiful resource on private land with no competition and we have all become friends. Well I am sure the predators are not too happy as there are hundreds of their hides stretched and drying. :D

Problem-Solving Strand for Mathematics
In this chapter, the problem solving technique Use a Linear Model builds directly on lesson material, particularly in "Fitting a Line to Data" and "Predicting with Linear Models." Within the context of this chapter, linear modeling is defined as using linear interpolation, linear extrapolation, or a line of best fit as a method of predicting trends and/or obtaining reasonable data.
Alignment with the NCTM Process Standards
Being able to approximate or estimate well (R.2) is a valuable skill in mathematics as well as real life. When younger students are asked to estimate, they often follow the rules for rounding rather than truly estimating with regard to the magnitude of a quantity (CON.1). Sometimes teachers unintentionally contribute to this issue because it is difficult to correct estimations; several estimations could be acceptable given different scenarios or different priorities. Taking a few moments to discuss significant digits in real-life situations, such as the cost of a house, a car, or a meal at a restaurant, can really improve students' number sense and their ability to make appropriate approximations (COM.2; COM.3).
Informal scale drawings can be very helpful whenever geometric shapes are part of a class exercise, and, when done attentively, can internalize the notion of scale (R.1). Free-hand enlargements or miniatures, which many students love to do, can develop an instinct for proportional reasoning (RP.4) and engage artistically inclined students. Displaying attractive, correct student work around the room reinforces the concept of scale and inspires others to think proportionately (R.3).
The question of the reasonableness of a solution is something that must be addressed repeatedly. Teachers should ask students to reflect on the reasonableness of their answers on a regular basis (PS.4).
- COM.2 - Communicate their mathematical thinking coherently and clearly to peers, teachers, and others.
- COM.3 - Analyze and evaluate the mathematical thinking and strategies of others.
- CON.1 - Recognize and use connections among mathematical ideas.
- PS.4 - Monitor and reflect on the process of mathematical problem solving.
- RP.4 - Select and use various types of reasoning and methods of proof.
- R.1 - Create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas.
- R.2 - Select, apply, and translate among mathematical representations to solve problems.
- R.3 - Use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena.

Updated on 22 January 2013
Dr Anand Kumar, deputy managing director (DMD), Indian Immunologicals (IIL)
"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held very high." This famous quote of Nobel winning poet Rabindranath Tagore is what drives Dr Anand Kumar, the deputy managing director (DMD) of Indian Immunologicals (IIL).
Dr Kumar, who has had a great career working in many big companies in India and abroad, did his masters from PSG college in Coimbatore in microbiology and also obtained his PhD in the same field from ICMR's institute in Pondicherry in 1992. His doctoral research involved the development of immunoassays for the quantification of bacterial toxins.
After his PhD, Dr Kumar joined Transgene Biotek in Hyderabad in 1992. He joined the company as a scientist whose job was to develop immunodiagnostic kits for pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, and typhoid. Dr Kumar mentions, "The company realized that there was a big gap between marketing and R&D." And this is when the company made him manager of product development and asked him to act as an interface between the marketing and the R&D teams.
Then in 1994, Transgene, which was primarily a diagnostics company, ventured into the domain of vaccines and went into the development of recombinant hepatitis B vaccines. Dr Kumar says, "Transgene entered in the recombinant vaccine space far ahead of Shantha Biotech and Bharat Biotech. In fact it was the first company in India to venture into recombinant hepatitis vaccine, after buying the technology from a Germany-based Rhein Biotech."
"The company was looking for project manager for this and since I had little bit of commercial knowledge as well as the technical background, I was chosen as project manager for the recombinant hepatitis vaccine project."

Coalition against Digital Restrictions Management ready to go for May 4th Day Against DRM
BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA -- Thursday, May 3, 2012 -- Defective by Design will hold its annual International Day Against DRM on Friday, May 4th, targeting the use of Digital Restrictions Management on ebooks. Several other organizations have joined to express their concern for the freedoms of authors and readers, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Creative Commons, O'Reilly Media, No Starch Press, the Accessible Computing Foundation, Libre Graphics Magazine, Fight for the Future, Angry Robot Books, APRIL, the Free Software Foundation and its sister organizations, FSF France, FSF India and FSF Europe.
Matt Lee, campaigns manager of Defective by Design, said, "DRM is a growing problem in the area of ebooks, where people have had their books restricted so they can't freely loan, re-sell or donate them, read them without being tracked, or move them to a new device without re-purchasing all of them. They've even had their ebooks deleted by companies without their permission."
As part of the day, people fed up with DRM are holding protest and awareness events in Cincinnati, Orlando, Amherst, San Francisco, Boston, Madrid, Rome, Manchester, Nagoya (Japan), and Aveiro (Portugal). More events are still being added at http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:DefectiveByDesign/Day_Against_DRM_2012.
Supporters are also taking action online, displaying the campaign's banner and using the opportunity to blog about their frustrations with DRM.
Notable science fiction author and editor of the influential BoingBoing.net blog, Cory Doctorow said, "As an author, I understand that DRM doesn't do squat to protect my interests. As a businessperson, I understand that DRM usurps my commercial relationships with my customers and hands them to DRM vendors."
Sanders Kleinfeld, author of HTML5 for publishers said in an interview with O'Reilly Media, "What's disappointing right now is that Amazon is very set on their Mobi format for their Kindle device, Apple has made strides away from EPUB 3 with their latest iBooks 2.0 and iBooks Author. I think vendors that make these devices are interested in maintaining that lock-in for customers."
Defective by Design has held previous international days against DRM in 2006, 2010 and 2011, focusing on use of DRM by Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and the RIAA. Defective by Design is a campaign of the Free Software Foundation.
Information on how to participate can be found at http://dayagainstdrm.org. Pictures, videos, and accounts will be posted afterward at http://defectivebydesign.org.

Forum planned on recent Spillers book, Feb. 26
Posted February 24, 2004; 12:23 a.m.
A forum on "'Black, White and In Color: Essays on American Literature and Culture' by Hortense Spillers" is planned for 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26, in Betts Auditorium, School of Architecture.
Spillers, the Frederick J. Whiton Professor of English at Cornell University, is considered one of the most influential and inspiring black critics of the past 20 years. "Black, White and In Color," published last year by the University of Chicago Press, is the first major collection of her essays, ranging from her work in the early 1980s, in which she pioneered radically different approaches to reading African American literature, to her turn to cultural studies in the 1990s.
Four scholars will speak during the forum, after which Spillers will respond. The commentators will be: Nahum Chandler of Johns Hopkins University; Farah Jasmine Griffin of Columbia University; and Eddie Glaude and Claudia Brodsky of Princeton.
The event is sponsored by the Program in African American Studies and the Department of English. For more information, contact Noliwe Rooks .
Contact: Ruth Stevens (609) 258-3601

Dnf - have you noticed that the things you hold up as the ideals coincidentally have declined as the "nanny state" grew?
That as we threw more and more federal dollars and give up more and more control to the "depts of" the results got worse & worse?
For instance, just sticking to education - the President failed to mention that the school in Denver CO, Bruce Randolph School, that he held up as doing so well, with the 97% senior grad rate, operates autonomously from the DPS district. http://randolph.dpsk12.org/about.asp#history This started in 2007, the 3 year period that PBO referred to, and now look at what it's doing. So if "That's what good schools can do, and we want good schools all across the country." why would we want increased federal command & control?
But isn't that what "Race to the Top" is?
"If you show us the most innovative plans to improve teacher quality and student achievement, (and if it meets with our agenda and the teacher's unions approval) we'll show you the money."
And if "the question is whether all of us –- as citizens, and as parents –- are willing to do what's necessary to give every child a chance to succeed. That responsibility begins not in our classrooms, but in our homes and communities. It's family that first instills the love of learning in a child." it makes little sense why the President and the Democratic Congress cut funding for the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP), when the Evaluation of the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program: Impacts After One Year, (emphasis mine) concluded that "The program had a consistently positive impact on parent satisfaction and their perceptions of school safety".
We don't want to throw out the baby, but the bathwater that they are immersed in is SO polluted with all the "accessory education" that has been mandated by boards, associations etc that there is no time for the kids to learn the basics.
What good is emphasizing science & technology if the kids can't read the books because they're too busy learning about how "Johnny has two daddys" ?
You question "anti govt hatred" and where it stops but you DON"T question love of bad govt.
That's where it stops, imo.

Israel's boutique hotels are designed with distinctive decor, luxurious rooms, charming artifacts, and elaborate furnishings, and offer their guests gourmet meals and first class personal service. These special hotels were developed with the objective of offering the highest possible standards together with top quality service.
The efforts that these hotels invest to ensure these high standards are immediately evident. The well-tended gardens surrounding the hotel, the unique, interesting architecture, the design, the works of art on display, the attractive settings inside and out, the picturesque locations, and above all - their atmosphere of inner calm - all evoke feelings of enjoyment and satisfaction.
Boutique hotels were created with concern over every tiny detail that affects a guest. They offer the opportunity for small and big dreams to come true, and for imagination to become reality. The enchanting, romantic atmosphere in these hotels arouses inspiration. Flickering scented candles and fragrant incense add to the romantic atmosphere, and large beds covered with fresh white sheets in the spacious rooms exude purity and cleanliness. The Jacuzzi and spa are a Garden of Eden for the body and soul, and the gardens with their rich plantings invite guests to wander in morning, stroll in the evening, and enjoy the scent of fresh herbs.
Boutique hotels offer healthy foods and excellent, colorful gourmet meals prepared by talented chefs. The wine cellars contain any variety of wine that you like. The small, intimate character of these hotels, combined with their vision of excellence, are all tailored for visitors' pleasure.

And if there is any legal semi-auto weapon in 4 yrs, I win. Meaning, if I can own my semi auto 12 guage in 4 yrs I win.
What is the current ammo taxation?
Last edited by precisionlabradors; 04-26-2011 at 03:15 PM.
so to me that means that if i can own any type of semi-auto weapon within 4 yrs I win.
also, the claim is that obama will increase ammo taxes 300% as per NRA website. so 10% really isn't much like you claimed. i want at least the 300% increase claim if i'm gonna make the bet.

This is a really good time to join the NRA if you arent already a member.
I have no problem with them taking assault weapons. They have no purpose other than to kill people.
QUOTE Brady Bunch Gloats Over Obama Victory: The strong Election Day showing for Democrats signals stronger support for sensible gun laws in this country and a significant setback for the National Rifle Association, a gun control group said Tuesday night. UNQUOTE
This is the problem with that way of thinking
Lets say 50 years from now we are mostly a socialist country and a majority votes to form a new constitution. Should majority rule?.
We are not a democrocy but a Republic Is the word democrocy even mentioned in the constitution.
For the republic for which it stands One nation under God and all that ancient history stuff.
okay-let's re-define. if it is illegal to own ALL types of semi auto guns within 4 yrs you win.
if the current ammo tax is increased by 300% or more, you win.
if not, i win. i really will make this bet.

12.3: Energy Conservation
How much energy can you save?
By turning off the lights, keeping rooms at a reasonable temperature in summer and winter, driving a fuel-efficient car or taking the bus, and many other things, society can save a lot of energy. By saving energy we reduce the financial and environmental costs of collecting that energy, and the pollution and greenhouse gases that come from using that energy. In all, it's a win-win situation!
Energy Conservation
What benefits are there from energy conservation? Conserving energy means that less energy is needed, which reduces costs, ensures that non-renewable energy sources will last longer, and reduces political and environmental impacts.
What are the two ways that energy can be conserved? (1) Use less energy, and (2) use energy more efficiently.
The pie chart (Figure below) shows how energy is used in the United States.
Almost one-half of the energy used in the United States is for transportation and home use. This means individual choices can make a big impact on energy conservation.
Table below shows some ways that people can decrease energy use and use energy more efficiently in transportation, residences, industries, and office settings.
|Where Energy is Used
|How We Can Use Less Energy
|How We Can Use Energy More Efficiently
|Ride a bike or walk instead of taking a car.
|Increase fuel efficiency in cars.
|Reduce the number of trips you make.
|Buy and drive smaller cars.
|Use public transportation.
|Build cars from lighter and stronger materials.
|Drive at speeds at or below 90 kilometers per hour (55 miles per hour).
|Turn off lights when not in a room.
|Replace old appliances with newer more efficient models.
|Only run appliances when necessary.
|Insulate your home.
|Unplug appliances when not in use.
|Make sure windows and doors are well sealed.
|Wear a sweater instead of turning up heat.
|Use LED bulbs if available, or compact fluorescent light bulbs (and dispose of properly!).
|Use fans instead of turning down air conditioner.
|Engage in activities that do not involve electronics.
|Rely on sunlight instead of artificial light.
|Recycle materials like soda cans and steel.
|Practice conservation in factories.
|Reduce use of plastic, paper, and metal materials.
|Reuse materials.
|Design equipment to be more efficient.
|Commercial (businesses, shopping areas, etc.)
|Turn off appliances and equipment when not in use.
|Use fluorescent lighting.
|Set thermostats to automatically turn off heat or air conditioning when buildings are closed.
Using less energy, or using energy more efficiently, will help conserve our energy resources. Since many of the energy resources we depend upon are non-renewable, we need to make sure that we waste them as little as possible.
Energy saving tips from the U.S. Department of Energy: http://www.energy.gov/energytips.htm.
The U.S. Department of Energy has a video to let you know how a home energy audit will help you to make your home more energy efficient. Be sure to follow links to the "Do it yourself" page. http://www.energysavers.gov/your_home/energy_audits/index.cfm/mytopic=11160
- Conserving energy is is cleaner and cheaper than finding new energy.
- To conserve energy, use less energy and be more efficient about the energy you use.
- There are many ways to conserve energy in your own life, such as walking or taking the bus, wearing a sweater instead of turning up the heat, etc.
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
1. What will the population be in 2030?
2. How much will our energy demands increase by 2030?
3. What is energy efficiency?
4. How can industries optimize their energy efficiency?
5. What can be done to make vehicles more efficient?
6. How effective can using energy efficiently be?
1. Why is conservation the best way to stretch our energy resources?
2. List some ways that society can conserve energy.
3. List some ways that you and the other members of your household can conserve energy.

Thanks for the cert, raph.
I was surprised to read that advogato reads my site. Still no cert lovin', though.
Uh oh, the certification problems seem to have hit me. I was an Apprentice until just recently, but now I'm down to an Observer.
In other news, source to the K42 operating system has been released. K42 is a highly scalable 64-bit OS designed for NUMAs and large SMPs. It is binary compatible with Linux (i.e. it runs Linux apps), although only mips64 and ppc64, which are pretty rare. Mind the disclaimer, though: "Please recognize this is still a very early version of the source and much has changed since we constructed this tar file, and much needs to change before it is ready general use."
I'm glad to see that I goaded raph into helping out us poor P2P hackers. :-)

Comparatively, prior to the 2008 elections, around March 2007, would anyone have expected that Obama would be the Dem candidate in 2008? Wasn't he just elected to the Senate in Nov. 2006?It is getting close to the 2012 elections and not one solid Republican candidate has emerged to run against him. Looks like you could be complaining for another 5 and a half years.

Beatrix did a one week course in Danish a couple of weeks ago...
"Peter and Ilsa are cycling to Esjberg" seemed to be the stock phrase to learn.

Cool that someone is taking Danish lessons, but...
"Peter and Ilsa are cycling to Esbjerg" has got to be one of the most useless sentences to learn in Danish... :-)
1. I know a few Peters, sure, but there are only 51 women named Ilsa in the Kingdom of Denmark. Down 1 from 2006.
2. Nobody cycles TO Esbjerg. It's on the far west coast of the country on the North Sea. Wherever you're riding from, it's a looooong ride.

- An Inconvenient Truth said...
Well I think the Ilsa and Peter in this story lived in Ribe, a very old town in the south west of Denmark. Can't be so far to Esjberg from there.
Or maybe it was just a metaphor for the stock phrase book content - "Vladimir is on the collective farm" would not appear in an American English phrase book - but then I guess it wouldn't appear in a modern Russian one either!!
Zak, keep up the great work. One day, we'll organise a Darlington trip to see you.

Nearer to home and very important: don't know if you've missed it (I did; somebody happened to tell me about it yesterday) but DBC are now conducting an opinion survey on cycling in the Ped Heart - see link tucked away here: http://www.dothelocalmotion.co.uk/Cycle/Cycleit.htm.

Thanks anonymous.
I've emailed the Council for advice to see if a post linking to the questionnaire would be
helpful or if it would cause the results be considered unrepresentative.
Obviously, I want as many pro-cycling responses as possible, but I also don't want to give any anti-cycling groups a chance to dismiss
the findings of the survey.
Having said that, can I encourage anyone reading this to follow the link above and fill in the survey :)
- 11:27 am, December 18, 2007
- miketually said...
The results have already been passed on for analysis, and the questionnaire's removal requested. It sounds like your response won't be counted; you might want to write in with your views instead.
A sample of Local Motion members were contacted about the survey, so a fairly large response should have been achieved. I happened to be in the sample, as did my wife, so the Cycle Campaign's views have been put across. We have also submitted our own report and survey for consideration by the Council.

Why is it Hasbro can sell a more detailed GI JOE doll for $7.99 and we have to pay $19.99 for a less detailed Star Wars figure?
I was in Walmart today and was scoping out the Joes. These guys came with many accessories and very well detialed clothing. So tell me, why are the 12 inch Star Wars figures more expensive and LESS detailed?
Maybe Hasbro should just make a "JEDI Accessory" set that includes several lightsabers, A few different Jedi cloaks (to clothe those who came without the cloaks) and maybe some other items.

Conference on Puerto Rico, Nov. 30-Dec. 1
Posted November 16, 2001; 09:39 a.m.
Rev. Jesse Jackson will give the opening keynote address at a conference on Puerto Rico Friday and Saturday, Nov. 30-Dec. 1, on the Princeton campus.
Scholars, activists and students will participate in the conference, which is titled "Puerto Ricans: Second Class Citizens in 'Our' Democracy?" Sessions will take place from 11:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. and 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Friday and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday in Bowen and McCosh halls. The conference is free and open to the public.
Jackson, founder and president of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, will speak at 11:45 a.m. Friday in McCosh 50. He is expected to discuss his efforts on behalf of the Puerto Rican island of Vieques. Jackson has protested U.S. military bombing exercises there.
The conference is being organized by an interdisciplinary group of undergraduate and graduate students from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the departments of Spanish, Portuguese, sociology and history as well as the Princeton Theological Seminary.
The organizers of the conference want to initiate a dialogue among intellectuals, students, professionals and activists about what it means to be Puerto Rican in this millennium. They hope to explore such issues as how people in the commonwealth culturally identify with Latin America but have U.S. citizenship; enjoy the "privileges" of American democracy and welfare benefits but at the cost of facing discrimination; and are forced to sacrifice a portion of their national territory to bombing by the U.S. Navy.
The conference will feature roundtable discussions on four topics: migration and citizenship; education and citizenship; law and citizenship; and Vieques. Participants will include: the Rev. Wilfredo Estrada, secretary general of the Bible Society of Puerto Rico; Juan Flores, professor of black and Puerto Rican studies at the City University of New York; Efrin Rivera Ramos, dean of the University of Puerto Rico Law School; Marcia Rivera, a distinguished Puerto Rican sociologist; and Sonia Sotomayor, a 1976 Princeton graduate who is a U.S. Court of Appeals judge.
The conference is sponsored by the Program in Latin American Studies and supported by a number of other University offices and departments. For more information, click here .

Oh, thats a tough one. But after some thinking I have to say Pink Floyd.
Genesis, Toto and Simple Minds is up there as well..
Anyways for a long time The Police were my favorite band of all time. I bought their Message in a Box boxset, not once, but twice because someone stole my original set. I just love Sting's vocals. I love the energy of the music. Like just about all of the Beatles catalog, just about every Police song shines..., by this I mean that there's not a song I can think of that I'd skip past to get to the next. Their early stuff is a bit more raw and punk rock sounding... sort of reminiscent of early Clash, and lyrically they're just whacked... really dark and funny stuff.
BUT..... I think I'm moving away from The Police as my favorite band anymore, and now I think The Sisters of Mercy are my favorite. Have been for awhile now actually. They've only ever had 3 real albums and a couple compilations that included some early stuff, and everyone loves to hate Andrew Eldritch, the front man and pretty much sole member of the band anymore, but their music has like a drug like effect on me. I love it and can play their albums repeatedly.

As you read this, you're breathing, and a forest helped make it possible. That's because forests are "the lungs of the Earth," absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releasing oxygen that people need to survive. And forests' influence goes even further: They play a critical role in managing clouds, wind, humidity, air quality and rainfall patterns.
Carbon dioxide and other gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the sun's heat. Too little CO2, or too much of it, and the planet can't support life. Forests help make sure the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is just right. Over hundreds of millions of years, forests have perfected the ability to capture CO2 — including much of the extra carbon generated by human activities.
Nearly one in four people depends on forests for their livelihoods in some way. Every year, people trade more than US$ 300 billion worth of forest products like timber and fruits. And many forests contain the key to new medical discoveries, with nature-based products accounting for about 42% of the revenue of the world's top-selling pharmaceuticals.
Forests are nature's water factories. They capture, store, purify and then gradually release clean water to towns and cities located downstream. When forests are lost, these factories stop humming. Erosion and sediment increases, and water flows become more unreliable — leading to greater floods, periods of low water flow and threats to drinking supplies.
For nearly three decades, CI has worked to ensure the world's most important forests are protected for future generations. That work has helped to place nearly 40 million hectares (nearly 99 million acres) of forests under protection. We also recognize, however, that protected areas aren't enough. The truth is that, under our current economic framework, forests are worth more cut than standing.
CI has been working to change that by making the sustainable use of forests the foundation of healthy societies around the world. We're carrying out science that's helping us better understand forests' value, and we're working with local communities to test new ways of conservation that provide more benefits to people. The lessons we've learned together with our partners are proving that change is indeed possible.

I dropped out of this thread thinking it had not only gone on far too long, but it had strayed off what was already a pretty well worn path anyway. However since you ask ..Darrin, see my quoted post above. I asked the same question in post 55 and no one has bothered to respond yet.... Perhaps it's more fun to take shots at each other than to have a real discussion...
I can't and don't speak for Bob Milner or anyone else, this is just my own experience.
Within UK there is a continuing drift towards more reward based training and away from some of the old aversive methods. I grew up in an era when giving a Spaniel a bloody good hiding before even before taking it out was quite unremarkable; several people who were considered to be good dog men (and IMO were) published works which included advice on the best way to use a fan belt and /or administer a thrashing. One of these was Peter Moxon whose book has gone past nineteen editions. The move away from such stuff obviously proceeds at different speeds and in varying ways.
You may have seen the video of the working dog display at Crufts ... that trainer is a big advocate of wholly positive training. I've posted a few videos with Edward Martin in action ... wholly reward based trainer and very successful. Most of the well known retriever trainers don't go that far but their has been a revolution in both thinking and training. As Bartona says the only thing a N American trainer might view as force, punishment, whatever, is in administering a rebuke for an infraction of known standards, force as used in the the sense of Force Fetch or Carr based training is quite unknown and was never in vogue anyway.
Again, for me, I don't believe dogs deliberately choose to disobey a known and understood command, so I rarely if ever punish. When I do the maximum I go to is a scruff shake.
I'm off out picking right now, so must close.

Thank you, very kind, Mine's a pint.
I've also stayed away from this, as there didn't seem much point, when many on here don't want to look at how so-called 'British' training methods may actually work or have some value vs e-collar/ff/ear pinch etc. I don't know why people post things like "I wish this thread would go away"? Why don't they just not look at it, if they are not interested? Weird.
Anyway, to answer the question about aversives, for those that are interested, as Eug says, yes British trainers use aversives, some more so than others. And these come in the form of vocally correcting the dog "no!" or "oy!" (some times followed by the odd expletive!), and also by taking the dog back out to the spot of infringement and restarting or giving it a bit of a shake.
But as Eugene has said, there does seem to be much more of a move by some of the newer/more modern trainers (in line with other canine disciplines) to use positive methods of reinforcement (such as using a clicker in early stages of obedience training, and markers for good work). I would count myself in this group of kinder/modern/positive trainers...
I guess we teach positively, and then if something does go wrong we either 'correct' or use attrition or back track and try and get it engrained again.
So, at this point I would comment on the video posted by Barton (hope he doesn't mind). In that exercise, which to us is a straight forward blind retrieve with a marked distraction at an angle. I would line the dog for the blind and send it on that line with my cue word for a blind, rather than a mark, giving the dog a clue it is going for a blind rather than the mark it has just seen. I expect the dog to take my line that I am giving it. Other trainers here would indicate the 'poison bird' and command 'leave that' and then turn the dog onto the blind. I don't like doing this as I just simply want the dog to go where I am sending it - horses for courses. If the dog takes, and holds, my line it is going to fall over the bird on the stubble. And, to me, this excercise is about taking and holding a line (not whether a dog will handle/re-cast - I would practise that separately). So, in Barton's case the dog went only so far, and then was off line and required not one but 2-3 stops and re-casts.... To me, that wouldn't be acceptable (but to many handlers over here it is, if they are just picking up with their dogs, or doing the odd test). As, I say, I want the dog to take the line and hold that line until told otherwise (fairly simple on a flat field, but later will have to do this over fences, through cover, across ditches etc). So, I send the dog off and if it doesn't hold the line I will either (depending on the sensitivity of the dog) give it a vocal correction 'ah ah' once it has come way off line, recall and start again, or simply recall it and start again without a correction.
With a young dog, if it didn't manage this within a couple of go's I would then either simplify (walk out and show it the dummy and walk back) or walk further forwards to the dummy, shortening the distance of outrun (but keeping the exercise the same 'take my line and hold my line and you will find a dummy').
Until I had got this concept of blinds with distraction totally right, with the dog not sucking towards the 'poison bird', or as we would say 'challenging my line' then I certainly would not be setting the same exercise up on water!!! From the clip you see the dog challenged 3 times on land, and then on water this was a whole lot worse, around 8-9 commands to get the dummy. So, I would get rock solid on land, before going onto water.
Also, I would not always send for the 'poison bird' but sometimes go and hand pick it.
Not saying any of this is right or wrong. More than one way to skin a cat... but just giving an example on how I would train for something like this, here, with 'Brit methods'. For those that are interested. And for those that aren't, I can't believe they are still dipping into this thread?!!!....
Eug, you and I are on the same page. I do not think that dogs disobey. It is not in their nature. They have spent the last 15,000 years evolving from a wild wolf in the forest to a valued companion living in the house. That move from forest to the fringe of the village fire to the yard and then into the house came about through breeding selection as dogs became more useful and more pleasing to humans.
Dogs do not disobey. They do fail to grasp the task to be performed when it is not adequately communicated, and they do fail to perform a task for which they have not been adequately prepared. Both of those instances are the trainer's responsibility.
Robert Milner
"When he stood up to speak, battalions of words issued forth from his mouth and scoured the countryside in search of an idea, and when they found one, they swiftly and thoroughly beat it to death." ---- -Anonymous
Devil's advocate here....
My dog, an intact male, is very well trained in obedience. He knows what "leave it" means. I am 100% certain that he knows what that command means.
Now suppose we are quite near a bitch in standing heat. He is whining and chattering. He attempts to mount the bitch, and I tell him "leave it". He looks at me, then ignores me and continues to try to mount her.
Has he just disobeyed a command which I am certain he understands? I believe he has.

Speaking Event: Global Warming - The Looming Human Tragedy
As scientists worldwide near a consensus on the relentless progress of global warming, public opinion has focused on its most obvious current effects: floods and forest fires; the melting of the polar ice caps; the inundation of low-lying islands. These immediate problems, however, do not reflect the grave long-range consequences of climate change, which will impact the lives of hundreds of millions of our planet's inhabitants, among them: migration, famine and disease, all at unprecedented levels, and bearing the seeds of bitter military conflict over the earth's shrinking livable territory.
The magnitude of the cost of dealing with these problems is staggering and can only be mitigated, Professor Guzman will argue, by immediate, concerted international action.
This program is co-sponsored by the Marin Chapter of the United Nations Association.
Speaker: Andrew Guzman, Professor of Law and Associate Dean for International and Executive Education, University of California, Berkeley

Have you stopped producing milk all together?
10th November 2012 05:17 AM #5
Pumping, drinking plenty of water, and taking supplements like Fenugreek and Blessed thistle can help to build and maintain a supply for re-lactation. Even some adoptive mothers, who have personally never experienced pregnancy, have been able to produce breastmilk for their little ones with enough stimulation.

As India's national election reaches the finish line, the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Narendra Modi, appears the front-runner. Should the BJP win, Modi, a once-highly polarizing figure, on whose watch Hindu-Muslim riots in 2002 claimed about 1000 lives in the Western state of Gujarat, will almost certainly become prime minister of one of the world's biggest economies.
Modi's past presents challenges for the United States. Many worry that the denial of a visa to him in 2005 over questions about his responsibility for the riots will derail U.S.-India relations. Due to changed legal circumstances, the visa issue will likely recede (the U.S. denies entry to few, if any, heads of government). What's more, America's relationship overall with India has too many components, and there's too much in the future at stake for both countries to get locked up in the past.
Final results of India's elections are expected Friday. Modi's election could certainly mark a new chapter for India. From a U.S. perspective, concerns about the health of Indian secularism will not simply disappear, but they should not derail America's relationship with the country. If Modi keeps his word and focuses on the economy, and if Washington seizes the opportunity, the United States and India will find a way to continue partnering productively.

China Building First Aircraft Carrier: Official
Tags: aircraft carriers, China, military
Chen Bingde, Chief of General Staff of the People's Liberation Army said the aircraft carrier was currently under construction, but it had not been completed, the Shanghai Daily reported.
Deputy Chief of General Staff Qi Jianguo, meanwhile, said the most important countries around the world had their own aircraft carrier, and as China continues to face threats around its seas, the country should also count with its own aircraft carrier.
However, Qi underlined that the aircraft carrier would never sail into other countries' territorial waters.
