Hummingbird is a set of Grasshopper components that facilitate the creation of Revit native geometry. This process exports basic geometric properties and parameter data to CSV text files which is used to describe many aspects of the Revit BIM geometry. In Revit this data is easily imported using the Whitefeet Modelbuilder tool (included).
Translating Rhino primative geometry to Revit has been vastly simplified without the need for linking or reference objects. This allows for the downstream Revit model to be modified and adapted for the project duration.
The tool now supports importing Revit geometry into Rhino. This makes a bi-directional workflow possible.
- Bi-Directional Revit <--> Rhino support! New component allows reading data output from Revit to create geometry in Rhino.
- Support for Revit 2015 (as well as 2014).
- Units!, Whitefeet ModelBuilder tool now includes the ability to specify metric or other custom units upon import.
- No more Excel! Read and write using simple CSV text files.
Hummingbird for grasshopper includes the following components:
- Adaptive Components
- Floors
- Grids
- Levels
- Walls
- Beams
- Columns (both structural & architectural)
- Lines (detail, model, area bound, room sep)
- Lofts (place points, curve by points)
- Rooms_Areas
- MassFamily (Extrudes a closed polyline into a mass family)
- Topo Surfaces
- Family Instances (places any revit family by coordinate point)
- Import (reads .CSV file and creates Rhino geometry)
To use this solution you must have the following software installed:
- Windows 7 with .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.0.
- Revit: Revit 2014/2015/2016 (for 2013 use the older version)
- Rhino: Version 5.
- Grasshopper: 0.9.0056
To install:
Run the installer which will install both the grasshopper component as well as the Whitefeet ModelBuilder addin.

i want afull tutorial about this plug in it is very handy to us as architects but i didn t find more videos about how to use
i want export full project from grasshopper to revit
I cannot load Hummingbird into my grasshopper tabs. I am running Rhino 5... Do you think using the newest version of Grasshopper is an issue? How can I manually load this?
I'm trying to install the add on but I keep getting a message saying:
Could not access network location
Can you check that the ...\Grasshopper\Libraries folder exists and that you have write access to it. Mario
Hi Mario, The link exists and I've installed other add ins to this location. Cheers Ben
Can you find another computer where the install has been run successfully? I can give you instructions on how to copy the files manually. Mario
We have been unable to install it on any other computers. What is the manual process? Thanks
You will need to do an install to copy the files from. What version of Revit do you have installed? Which version of the Hummingbird package are you using?
Hi Mario,
i came across the same issue. Could the reason be that Hummingbird wants to acces a folder with two \\? (AppData\Roaming\\Grasshopper\Libraries\Hummingbird)
The versions I'm running at the moment are Rhino 5 SR12 64-Bit together with GH 0.9.0076.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
youresogreat: A path with "\\" would be problematic but I just checked the installation program and can't reproduce this problem. Please give more specifics about which version you are installing and the exact steps you went through. Also, what operating system and country are you using? Mario
Hi Mario,
I just tried it again with all downloads offered at food4rhino (Hummingbird 184.108.40.206, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3) and had the same issue with each of them.
When running the .msi file the setup is "preparing to install" for some seconds and then tells me that it could not access the network location "...\AppData\Roaming\\Grasshopper\Libraries\Hummingbird".
I also checked it with our IT services if it could be a security/admin rights issue, but they stumbled accross the same problem when trying to install it.
Operating System is Windows 8, country the UK.
Thanks for your help, Mario!
yoursogreat: Please try this experiment:
1. Open a command window. (Start menu, type "cmd", pick Command Window.)
2. Type: %appdata%
3. Note the value inside single quotes returned.
I would expect it to be something like
'C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming' without a trailing backslash.
If you do get a trailing backslash can you see if your IT group has redirected this value.
Then please try the installation on another computer that is not in your office (like a home computer.) If you can get the install to run there there then transfer the files manually from the folders:
(Note that the Addin folder has both a WhiteFeet folder and a .addin file.)
If these files are in place Hummingbird should run correctly. The Setup program does not make any other changes in your computer.
Here is some information from Microsoft about this issue:
Thank you for your help Mario!
Installing it on another computer and copying the files seemed to be the easiest solution and it worked out well.
Kind regards
Glad it worked out. Sometimes it's better not to try to understand Windows but to work around it. Mario
Hi Peirramo, I met an same problem when I add an arc-based grid from CSV. I wonder if you have solved this problem, the error message is:
Error in ConvertHbCurve: The vectors end1 and pointOnArc are coincident.
By the way, the same arc can be import in Revit as mode lines sucessfully, only be wrong when as grid.
I'm not aware of this issue or the previous thread with Peirramo. Generally this kind of message is returned from Revit indicating that it didn't like the points provided. Can you upload a sample .CSV file that illustrates the problem? Mario
Dear Mario,
Is Hummingbird entirely for free? If it installs Whitefeet Modelbuilder tool for it to work, do I have to buy the Modelbuilder license?
Thank you,
Paul, Hummingbird is entirely free. The ModelBuilder module from the WhiteFeet Tools is included. It is exactly the same except that it doesn't prompt for a license. Incidentally, you can install the full WhiteFeet Tools on a trial basis for 90 days. There is also a student license available for $20. Enjoy. Mario
I want to export geometry (components) from revit to Rhino. the problem is the layer in Rhino just says (walls), but there is specific information about each wall in that layer.. Basically I want every little wall on its own layer. Possible?
There is currently no way to attach any additional information to the export from Revit (although I may look at adding that.) You could try exporting a list of values in exactly the same order and then using some other method to import that list to Rhino-Grashopper and then match them up.
Is it possible to use Hummingbird/ModelbBuilder to create doors and windows in Revit from Grasshopper? I'm not getting it to work at the moment. They appear in schedules in Revit, but no actual geometry is drawn. I assume it has something to do with that they need to be hosted. Thanks! /Petra
Your perception is correct: it is not possible to place famlies that are hosted. I will think about how to address this but it is difficult since I need to know the identity of the host element. Perhaps I could search and find the nearest wall.
I'm not sure if this would work, but as a workaround you could try placing some families that looked like doors and windows but were not hosted. Then you could globally replace them with real doors and windows.
Hi, I just gotten started with Model Builder and Hummingbird, and I'm running into problems with how values are saved when I'm exporting small geometries from Revit. I've been using the "HB Proofs - Model" file that is included in the download to understand the problem, and I'm exporting one of the floors. At first it exports correctly but as I reduce the size of the floor the x,y,x values in the csv file have too many commas in them, for example: 65,5, 20,0000000000001, 30.
Anyone else with the same issue? Or any thoughts about it?
Thanks in advance! /Petra
This problem may be caused by Rhino switching to exponential notation for very small numbers. This is complicated by cultural differences between countries about how they format exponential numbers so, if your Windows environment is set to a European country, my US environment may not read it properly.
I'm not really inclined to study this issue since it will be hard for me to recreate the problem. Is there a way that you can change units so that the numbers are larger? Alternatively, multiply all your dimensions by a big constant (like 1,0000,000) and then scale the results later.
You will also likely encounter problems in Revit with trying to import small values. Good luck, Mario
Thank you for the quick response, and for great work! Turned out it wasn't an issue of small numbers at all, but one of the decimal mark defaulting to a comma. Changed the settings in the computer and problem solved! /Petra
Good catch. This is another one of those cultural differences in Windows. Could you please provide some instructions on how you set the values correctly in case someone else has the same issue? thanks, Mario
Thank you for this wonderful plugin, and the Revit to Rhino Import!
I know that Rooms aren't visible in the 3D views in Revit, but can they still be exported?
In plan view, I had the room selected and then chose to export the selected geometry, but it exported a blank .csv file. I also tried to export all model elements, but still no room that I could tell.
Is there something I am missing?
Thank you for all of your help.
I replied to this earlier but I'm not sure what happened to my comment. What I said was that you are correct; I never implemented the Room export. Since then I have updated the ModelBuilder program so that it does export rooms and areas.
The logic of these is a little different than you might expect. Strictly speaking a a room or area only has one item of geometry: its insertion point. For that reason, when I do the basic export that is all I include.
I'm assuming that if you are going into Rhino what you really want are the boundaries of the room. To accomodate that I made it so that, if you choose the option to convert the output to lines, the boundary is output.
Interesting, you could use that as a way to convert a bunch of Revit rooms or areas to linework (assuming there was some reason to do that!)
Thank you for the quick response! The rooms imported great. I'm working on a way to visualize the rooms better since Revit can't show them in 3D.
Is there a component in grasshopper that reads the element ID from the .csv as well, or should I just use an excel reader and compare the data that way?
Thank you again for your help.
I've uploaded a new version. It includes the option on the Revit ModelBuilder side to export geometry as Filled Regions. If you export your rooms using this option and then use the Input component to import them to Rhino-Grasshopper they will come in as surfaces with a closed boundary. I think you will find that this gives you a number of options for manipulating them in Rhino including extruding them.
I elected to use this approach because I was uneasy with importing the ElementID values. There are some logical issues since the ID values are not really associated with the geometry and so on. Also, rooms can have holes in them (and islands in the holes) so the geometry is fairly complicated. (I haven't fully implemented the ellipse shapes but lines, arcs and splines should work.)
Please try this out and let me know if it is working for you.
Incidentally, since I was implementing Filled Regions anyway, I added a component on the Rhino-Grasshopper side to create filled regions in Revit. There are some interesting potential workflows using them since they can store a complex boundary that would be hard to manage otherwise in Revit. (Sorry, no masking regions at this time; take it up with the Autodesk Revit API team.)
Documentation has not been updated yet. Later. Mario
That's an interesting idea (to read the element ID in Rhino.) I could probably do that. What would you want to do with the value in Rhino? Is there a way to add a parameter to a Rhino object? Then, when you export from Rhino would you want to export that value?
The Element IDs aren't really good for much at this time. My original intention had been to adjust the dimensions of an existing object (rather than replacing it) so that it would preserve its hosting relationships. Unfortuanatly the Revit API doesn't allow that, so now I just delete the element and rebuild it.
Rhino Objects have an Object Name in their properties. Could you write the Element ID to that value?
If I could read the Element ID from the csv, then I could join all the lines associated with that ID and have a closed polyline of the room outline to extrude. The Element ID is already in the csv file. I can see it using the HummBird CSV Viewer. The value just doesn't get read into grasshopper using the Grasshopper Hummingbird CSV Input Node.
I'm only working in grasshopper, so just being able to read the id there would work for me.
I didn't realize about the changing dimensions in Rhino in order to adjust Revit! Will have to experiment with that as well!
You're right. I just went back and check the code for ModelBuilder and apparently I never implemented the export of rooms from Revit.
You will have to work around this by using lines of some kind to represent the rooms.
I'll need to take a look at this and see if I can publish an update.
Firstly, thanks for the hard work. This is looking like a very useful tool.
I have a question regarding the lines component.
I'm trying to import detail drawings from rhino into revit. The Lines component appears to only output straight lines, splitting curved curves into many small lines. However, Revit has a tolerance of 1mm (in metric cm settings) regarding minimum line length, and will not draw the tiny lines required to give the impression of a curve. The only workaround I have found is to scale the geometry in Rhino by a huge factor. This isn't really viable as the drawings need to be incorporated into our project file at a certain scale. I have tried unsuccessfully to scale them down again in Revit. Any ideas?
The "Lines" component input accepts a tree of "cuves", which may be lines, arcs, polycurves, nurbscurves, polylinecurves, or a mixture of these. It will create lines, arcs, or nurbscurves in Revit accordingly. (The data displayed in the "Data" output will only show lines and arcs. This is a bug that I will fix. The data written to the .CSV file should be OK, however.) If you are having difficulty making any of these work please send me a sample project that illustrates the problem.
Regarding scale, this is often an issue. Revit always stores data internally as feet, irrespective of what the scale setting is. The ModelBuilder offers a couple of options for converting the scale as it reads the .CSV file. Alternatively, you can apply a scale factor as you input the curves in Grasshoper. Again, if you can provide a sample file I will try to analyze the problem. Be very specific about the scale settings in both Rhino and Revit.
I've posted a new version that includes a component for uploading Revit data to Rhino. I also added a link to a website http://www.whitefeet.com/Hummingbird/ where I have posted some sample data. Be sure to look at the revised Users Guide. And tell me what is working or not working for you.
Hi Tim and Mario,
does Hummingbird run with Win8.1?
I'm using this with Grasshopper 9.0076, and I' getting index errors and "unable to write .csv files.
Can you provide more specifics about what you are tring to do and what files you are using? Try the "Proof Files - 2015" from the http://www.whitefeet.com/Tools/ site.
I've installled Hummingbird for Revit 2014/2015. When I tried using the Sample fiels in the Minimal Test File I get these message when I attempt to write a .csv file.
CSV writer version 2013-08-18
Unable to create or connect to .csv file. Folder must exist and existing file must not be in use. EstablishCSVlink() failed.
Any idea?
Can you try downolading the Revit 2015 sample data from the http://www.whitefeet.com/Tools/ site and testing the "Proof Files - 2015". Although the Revit file in this set requires 2015 the Rhino-Grasshopper files are the same.
The new version has been posted on this site. It installs for both Revit 2014 and 2015 (even if you don't have them on your computer.)
There are some useful documentation and sample files at http://www.whitefeet.com/Tools/ in the Hummingbird - Rhino to Revit Translation section. (You will need to create an account and agree to the license agreement but you can use Hummingbird without buying a WhiteFeet Tools license.)
This update exposed a number of issues that need to be fixed. We are also working on a Revit --> Rhino upload option. So stay tuned for another update.
And keep sending messages and posting stories about what you are doing.
I've created a new version that includes ModelBuilder for both Revit 2014 and Revit 2015. It requires Rhino 5. Available from http://www.whitefeet.com/Tools/ for now. I'll try to get it up on this site as soon as possible.
Thanks Mario! I didn't think you were updating it anymore?
Yeah, I got beaten up about abandoning it. The best way to keep me working on it is to post stories about what you are doing with it. Currently looking at a Revit-->Rhino tool for transfering geometry out of Revit and into Grasshopper. Would you use that? Mario
Hi Mario. Its good to have you back. Yeah a Revit > Rhino tool would be useful. Chameleon had one but it hasn't been updated in a LONG time and is no longer available for download. One of the limitations I found with it was that everything came in as meshes. There was a lot of rework required to make the geometry and data structure usable. If this could be streamlined it would be awesome. I'm now using more Dynamo to take things from Grasshopper to Revit. But there isn't much out there if you want to go the other way...
Hi Tim and Mario,
Is there any way to get a wall to come into revit on something other than the wall centerline? Can we get finish face exterior or finish face interior? I think the plugin is amazing, and I am hoping that you guys keep developing it because it could be even more powerful than it already is.
I have reactivated the http://whitefeet.com/Tools/ site. You can download the 2015 version of the WhiteFeet Tools and use the ModelBuilder to do the Revit side of the translation. You can use the current version of Hummingbird to do the Rhino side. Sorry, I've been slow to get a 2015 Hummingbird package out. Mario

Billy Jones's 63rd minute goal gave West Brom a deserved point at the Hawthorns against relegation threatened Newcastle United in the Premier League.
Jones took his goal well as he picked up a pass from James Morrison inside the penalty area before driving with his left foot past Rob Elliot.
West Brom went behind early in the first half as Yoann Gouffran rose above Jonas Olsson in the eighth minute to head home an inviting cross from Papiss Cisse.
Newcastle went close soon after with two long range efforts from Yohan Cabaye saved by Ben Foster.
Then in the 35th minute Olsson put his team in trouble with a sloppy backpass that gifted possession to Cisse. The Senegalese striker bared down on goal only for his lofted finish to end up on the roof of the net rather that in the back of it.
West Brom felt they should have had a penalty just before half time as James Perch brought down Morrison inside the area. Referee Mike Jones put his whistle to his mouth but gave a free-kick to West Brom even though the incident occurred inside the area.
That injustice seemed to galvanise West Brom in the second half who brought on striker Shane Long for defensive midfielder Claudio Yacob. Their fortunes changed and looked a much better side in the second half pressing Newcastle all over the pitch.
Elliot almost gifted Long a goal with his first touch as he spilled a long range effort straight to the Irish striker but Newcastle's goalkeeper got down well to smother the shot.
West Brom continued to pile on the pressure as Newcastle struggled to keep up with the pace the Baggies were now playing at.
Romelu Lukaku hit the crossbar with a header in the 50th minute as Newcastle struggled to contain West Brom's forwards.
The pressure eventually told and Jones''sgoal capped off a superb passing move with time to spare for either team to grab a winner.
Newcastle were unable to get out of their half and even the introduction of Hatem Ben Arfa couldn't inspire the Magpies to a better performance.
West Brom went after a winner but could not create the openings they would have wanted in order to grab all three points.
As the final whistle was blown, it was plain to see who the happier manager was as Alan Pardew looked exasperated by his players' second half performance.
This draw leaves Newcastle 16th in the table and six points clear of the relegation zone. West Brom stay in 8th and move onto 45 points for the season.
Billy Jones (West Brom) – The full back was excellent in all he did. His defending was solid but his forward play was exemplary. His constant running at the defence both with and without the ball caused problems all day and his goal was fully deserved for an all-action performance from the defender.
West Brom – Foster 7, Olsson 6, Popov 6, McAuley 7, Jones 9, Yacob 5, Morrison 7, Brunt 6, Dorrans 7, Lukaku 6, Fortune 7. Subs: Long 8, Thomas n/a, Rosenberg, n/a
Newcastle United – Elliot 7, Yanga-M'Biwa 6, Perch 6, Haidara 5, Debuchy 7, S Taylor 7, Cabaye 8, Sissoko 6, Gutierrez 7, Cisse 5, Gouffran 7. Subs: Ben Arfa 6, Ameobi 7, Hosling n/a.

Hey guys,
I've lurked for some time now and I've always gotten good feedback, so I decided to post with a very specific question. Mind you, I've become, as many, a Google/search engine assassin, and I couldn't find much on the topic.
My question is rather plain. I'm sick and tired of using Flash player plugins that show ads, this or that, and have myriad options which I assume bog down my site (if only slightly). Can I make my own flash player, built to order, for playing Flash on my posts? I've used a plugin for awhile now, but that's becoming cantankerous and I'd like to have more control. Also, I feel like I could make the theme more cohesive, and imply a more professional coalescence, so to speak. I own Flash CS4 and would be glad to dive in there if that applies.
Anyone have any ideas, or directions to point me? Thanks for your help.

The Book Thief Suffering Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
To live. Living was living. The price was guilt and shame. (35.19-21)
This theme is repeated over and over in the novel, by anyone who survives. Michael Holtzapfel's guilt over his brother's death (which he had nothing to do with) drives him to suicide.
Quote #8
The man did not breathe. He did not move. Yet, somehow, he traveled from the doorway to the bed and was under the covers. (33.13)
The passage does a lot to highlight Max's suffering. Two years hiding in dark sheds has made him an expert at the art of pretending not to exist.
Quote #9
The suffering faces of depleted men and women reached across to them, pleading not so much for help, but for an explanation. Just something to subdue this confusion. (58.35)
This passage suggest that human beings crave understanding even more than food. The situation of the Jews being marched to Dachau is unimaginable. They never in their wildest dreams thought it would come to this. If someone came to you and told you you'd soon be moved to a death camp, would you believe it?

Heh! That could be construed in very many ways. But, well, seeing how some people take any comments about Brazil work personally, I will not say it.
(Actually, not a bad line)

The 23-year-old already has two silver medals to her name in France but looks well placed to go one better in the 400m IM after winning her heat by almost seven seconds.
And Miley's time of 4:31.34 minutes was the quickest across all four heats, with Hungarian Katinka Hosszu - who already has three gold medals to her name - 1.78 seconds behind.
Aimee Willmott lowered her personal best to 4:33.29 minutes to join Miley in the final as the fourth-fastest qualifier; however Sophie Smith and Lucy Spencer missed out after finishing 17th and 19th respectively.
Miley kicked things off on Sunday by posting a personal best 26.22 seconds in the women's 50m freestyle, but it wasn't enough to qualify for the semi-final.
And it was a similar story for Marco Loughran in the men's 50m butterfly as his personal best time of 24.16 seconds was some way off forcing him into the semi-final.
However compatriot Antony James has a slim hope of swimming again as his time of 23.67 seconds put him 18th overall and first reserve.
One Brit who will definitely feature in a final is Craig Benson after he knocked more than two seconds off his 200m breaststroke personal best to win his heat in 2:07.99 minutes and qualify him as sixth fastest for his first senior international final.
Lewis Coleman also set a new personal best as he touched home in 2:13.87 minutes to finish 27th.
Karley Mann became the fourth Brit to qualify for a final as she set a new personal best of 2:05.88 minutes to progress as the fourth fastest qualifier.
Lauren Quigley, Willmott and Smith tried to join her, the former setting a new personal best of 2:09.54 minutes, but just missed out.
Both Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and Molly Renshaw set new personal bests in their 200m freestyle heats but it wasn't enough to make the final as they finished 11th and 36th respectively.
And it was a similar story in the men's 200m freestyle as Calum Jarvis, Joseph Patching and Coleman all set personal bests - the latter's second of the morning - but they miss out on the final.
Coleman, Jarvis, James and Loughran then joined forced for the 4x50m freestyle and just missed out on the final as they finished ninth, two places better than the team of Quigley, Miley, O'Connor and Smith managed in their 4x50m medley.

Winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
Rock is alive and rolling like thunder in Next to Normal. It's the best musical of the season by a mile...an emotional powerhouse with a fire in its soul and a wicked wit that burns just as fiercely."-Rolling Stone
No show on Broadway right now makes as a direct grab for the heart-or wrings it as thoroughly-as Next to Normal does. . . . [It] focuses squarely on the pain that cripples the members of a suburban family, and never for a minute does it let you escape the anguish at the core of their lives. Next to Normal does not, in other words, qualify as your standard feel-good musical. Instead this portrait of a manic-depressive mother and the people she loves and damages is something much more: a feel-everything musical, which asks you, with operatic force, to discover the liberation in knowing where it hurts."-Ben Brantley, The New York Times
Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Original Score (Music and/or Lyrics) Written for the Theatre, Next to Normal is also available in an original cast recording. It was named Best Musical of the Season by Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and The New York Times.
Brian Yorkey received the 2009 Tony Award for Best Original Score for his work on Next to Normal and was also nominated for Best Book of a Musical. His other credits include Making Tracks and Time After Time.
Tom Kitt received two 2009 Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Orchestrations for Next to Normal. He also composed the music for High Fidelity and From Up Here. His string arrangements appear on the new Green Day album 21st Century Breakdown, and he is the leader of the Tom Kitt Band.

'Indian regulatory environment supportive of biz growth'
New Delhi: Buoyed by reform initiatives, majority of senior corporate executives are convinced that the current regulatory environment is supportive of business growth in the country, according to an E&Y survey.
Global consultancy Ernst & Young's survey also found that around 86 percent of the executives consider domestic economy to be stable or improving while investing capital is the priority for about 40 percent of the respondents.
"Nearly 67 percent of them are of the opinion that the current regulatory environment is supportive of business growth initiatives in India," as per E&Y Capital Confidence Barometer.
The readings come at a time when the government is making efforts to boost economic growth, which slumped to five percent last fiscal.
Going by the report, the greatest confidence booster was allowing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail chains and air carriers. The government allowed 51 percent FDI in multi-brand retail and 49 percent in civil aviation.
Besides, the setting up of Cabinet Committee on Investment to fast track big-ticket infrastructure projects and partial de-regulation of diesel prices, have also boosted the overall confidence, it said.
The survey, which covered over 70 respondents from India, said organic growth remains a focus area for about 48 percent of the executives. The outlook is for April-October 2013 period.
"Another critical sign of a positive attitude toward the domestic economy is that respondents are extremely positive about the regulations implemented in the country," it said.
About 42 percent of the Indian respondents said the global economy is improving whereas the same sentiment was expressed by just 21 percent participants when the survey was conducted in October 2012.
"India is witnessing a high level of confidence in its economic growth. More than 50 percent of the Indian respondents (as compared to 27 percent six months ago) were of the opinion that the domestic economy is recovering.
"Notably, the percentage of respondents with negative views about the Indian economy recorded a considerable decline to 14 percent, as compared to 46 percent in October 2012," the report said.
Compared to their global counterparts, Indian respondents are more focused on cost reduction and improvement of operational efficiency.
"Organic growth continues to be important for executives... The continued focus on organic growth indicates that confidence in the economy's long-term growth remains intact," it said.

Flood Plain Development and Information
Regulatory changes to flood insurance rates and subsidized policies, will affect MAT-SU Borough property owners living in a Special Flood Hazard Area. See the attached Biggert-Waters Presentation for more information.
A Flood Plain Development Permit is required prior to rebuilding or any other development within a Federally Designated Flood Hazard Area.
If your property is located within the 100 year flood, there is at least a 1% chance each year the land may be subject to a "100 year" flooding event.
In an effort to reduce losses associated with these flooding events and reduce the amount of losses, the Federal Government, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), requires all structures to obtain Flood Hazard Insurance. To be eligible to receive Flood Hazard Insurance all new development must conform to the minimum standards of development as described in MSB 17.29 Flood Damage Prevention.
A complete application must include both the MSB Flood Hazard Development Permit and the Elevation Certificate. A Registered Engineer or Surveyor must complete the elevation certificate.
If you have any questions please contact the Permit Center or FEMA, Federal Emergency Management Agency, directly at http://www.fema.gov or 1-800-427-4661.

"Glencore PLC and Vitol Group, the world's two largest independent oil traders, are close to signing a long-term deal to purchase Iranian crude, a top Iranian official said. The potential deal would mark the return of two of Iran's biggest oil trading partners before Western sanctions over the country's nuclear program were tightened in 2012... Iran and the two Swiss-based companies are close to reaching separate agreements with state-owned National Iranian Oil Co., said Mohsen Ghamsari, the company's director of international affairs, in an interview. Mr. Ghamsari said one of the main issues to iron out is that the state company wants to choose the destination of the crude that it sells Glencore and Vitol. It isn't unusual for Iran's state oil company-or those in other countries --to dictate where oil traders market their crude. In a separate interview, Iran's deputy oil minister Amir Hossein Zamaninia said Glencore and Vitol have purchased mostly oil products from Iran until now. Glencore-which trades large quantities of oil in addition to the copper, coal and other commodities it mines and sells-became the first Western company to load Iranian oil products since the end of sanctions, but the cargo was made of fuel oil, rather than more expensive crude. It has struggled to find financing for the crude purchase, according to an Iranian trader involved in the deal." (The Wall Street Journal, "Glencore, Vitol Near Deal to Buy Iranian Crude," 5/12/2016)
"The world's largest commodity trading houses are first in line to profit from the much expected return of Iran to global markets as Tehran and Washington enter into the final three-months of nuclear talks. While the global oil industry has been seen as the biggest beneficiary of a thaw, commodities traders including Cargill Inc. Glencore Plc, Vitol BV, Trafigura Beheer BV and Louis Dreyfus Commodities BV have a long history in Iran, helping to export its oil and import daily basics like gasoline, wheat and rice... 'We like other people have talked to the Iranians,' Vitol CEO Ian Taylor said in an interview. 'They used to be major players in the markets, but obviously none of us will do anything unless sanctions are actually lifted.'" (Bloomberg, "Top Commodity Trading House Line Up for Iran's Return to Market," 4/20/15)
"While Western powers have identified a small group of sectors for Iranian sanction relief, a much wider set of European and U.S. companies—from pharmaceutical firms and medical-equipment makers to food companies and traders—also stands to regain lost Iranian trade as soon as relief measures are formally adopted next month…Affiliates of Switzerland-based commodities company Glencore Xstrata sold as much as $111 million in agricultural goods and metals to Iranian state entities in the second quarter of this year, according to disclosures by one of these affiliates to the SEC. A spokesman for Glencore Xstrata declined to comment on its Iranian plans." (Wall Street Journal, "Iran Deal Opens Door for Businesses," 12/1/13)
"Glencore Xstrata Plc (GLEN), the largest publicly traded commodities supplier, is conducting business with Iran even as competitors abandon the country, potentially drawing scrutiny from regulators. Documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by Century Aluminum Co. (CENX), in which Glencore owns 41.8 percent, show non-U.S. affiliates of Glencore 'entered into sales contracts for agricultural products as well as purchase contracts for metals with Iranian entities' last quarter…Foreign companies have abandoned Iran after the country's nuclear program prompted U.S., European Union and United Nations trade sanctions. Glencore competitors Trafigura Beheer BV and Vitol SA have halted crude-oil purchases from Iran as regulators move to end transactions with the Islamic republic. The Iranian entities conducting business with affiliates of Glencore were either fully or majority owned by the government, according to the SEC filing, which was first reported by American Metal Market. Glencore said it's not violating laws. 'Glencore Xstrata does comply with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable sanctions,' the Baar, Switzerland-based company said in a statement. 'We are closely monitoring all new legal developments to ensure that we continue to be in compliance.' Maintaining trading ties to Iran may draw scrutiny not only of Glencore but of its banks and insurers as well, according to Biersteker. 'They are taking a gamble,' he said. The company may face difficulty insuring transactions and shipping materials, he said…Glencore hasn't disclosed the names of the companies it's conducting business with in Iran." (Bloomberg, "Glencore Trades With Iran Even AS Competitors Depart," 8/30/13)
"New York's top financial regulator has expanded a probe into whether reinsurance companies have written policies on international trade with Iran, which could potentially violate new U.S. sanctions. In a letter posted to its website on Wednesday, the state's Department of Financial Services asked reinsurers to explain their dealings with entities and people that have ties to Iran. The department also asked reinsurers to explain procedures in place to ensure compliance with the Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act of 2012, which took effect on July 1. Twenty reinsurers are getting the letter, including Hannover Re, Lloyd's of London and Swiss Re, a person familiar with the matter said. Those reinsurers were among those contacted last month by the regulator, whose superintendent is Benjamin Lawsky, over their dealings involving Iran. Lawsky opened his probe after news reports that Switzerland-based Glencore Xstrata Plc and Trafigura AG had supplied thousands of tons of alumina to an Iranian firm that provided aluminum for Iran's nuclear program. The new law bans financial services companies that do business in the United States, such as insurers and reinsurers, from providing services to companies that trade with Iran." (Reuters, "NY Regulator Expands Probe into Reinsurers' Iran Ties," 7/24/2013)
"Glencore, a commodity trading house run by the billionaire Ivan Glasenberg, traded $659m (£430m) of goods, including aluminium oxide, to Iran last year, the Guardian has established... At the time of the Glencore and Trafigura trades with Iralco, it was not illegal or a breach of sanctions to supply Iran with alumina. It is unknown whether Glencore or Trafigura's alumina passed from Iralco to Tesa, or whether it was used in centrifuge construction... Glencore said it 'ceased transactions' with Iralco immediately when it learned of its links with Tesa, and the last trade was in October 2012. 'Prior to EU sanctions in December 2012, we were not aware of a link/contract between Iralco and Tesa,' the company said in a statement. Glencore said it is 'reliant on the relevant regulatory bodies/governments to advise us on developments in who we can/can't do business with'... The question surrounding Glencore's role in unintentionally potentially helping arm a nuclear Iran comes as Obama ramps up pressure on Tehran to end its atomic weapons programme... Mark Wallace, a former US ambassador to the UN, said Glencore's dealings with Iran were 'completely unacceptable', adding: 'We might expect this from a Russian or Chinese company, but the truth is that even those companies usually stay away from this sort of exposure.' Glencore said it 'complies with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable sanctions. We closely monitor all new legal developments to ensure that we continue to be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable sanctions.'... The Guardian has learned that Glencore traded $659m worth of metals, wheat and coal with Iranian entities during 2012. Buried deep in its annual report, one of Glencore's US affiliates, Century Aluminum 46% owned by Glencore, states: 'During 2012 non-US affiliates of the largest stockholder of the company [Glencore] entered into sales contracts for wheat and coal as well as sale and purchase contracts for metal oxides and metals with Iranian entities, which are either fully or majority owned by the GOI [government of Iran].' Glencore declined to state how much of the $659m it dealt with Iran in 2012 was related to alumina/aluminium. The trades were not illegal or against sanctions at the time. It is not the first time Glencore's activities have attracted controversy. Last year the head of its food trading business said the worst drought to hit the US since the 1930s would be 'good for Glencore' because it would lead to opportunities to exploit soaring prices." (The Guardian, "Glencore traded with Iranian supplier to nuclear weapon's programme," 4/21/2013)
"Affiliates of Glencore International PLC, the world's largest publicly traded commodity supplier, entered into sales contracts last year with entities controlled by Iran, according to Century Aluminum Corp. Non-U.S. affiliates of Glencore, Century's largest shareholder, entered into sales contracts for wheat and coal and sale and purchase contracts for metals and metal oxides, Monterey, California-based Century said today in filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission... Century was spun off from Glencore in 1996. Glencore owned 47 percent of Century as of Dec. 31, according to the filing." (Bloomberg, "Glencore Affiliates Sold Commodities to Iran, Century Says," 3/18/2013)
"Commodities giant Glencore had supplied thousands of tons of alumina to an Iranian firm that provided aluminum to Iran's nuclear program, Reuters reported last week, citing intelligence and diplomatic sources... Switzerland-based Glencore also said last week that its deal had ended when EU sanctions targeting Iralco came into force. It said its barter contract was legal and denied any wrongdoing by the firm or attempts to help Iran bypass sanctions." (Reuters, "Second trading firm says it supplied Iranian firm linked to atomic work," 3/5/2013)
"Commodities giant Glencore supplied thousands of tons of alumina to an Iranian firm that has provided aluminum to Iran's nuclear program, intelligence and diplomatic sources told Reuters. The previously undisclosed barter arrangement between Glencore, the world's biggest commodities trader, and the Iranian Aluminum Company (Iralco) illustrates how difficult it is for Western powers to curb Iran's ability to trade with the rest of the world. Even as the West imposes stringent restrictions on banks that do business with Iran, United Nations diplomats say that Tehran keeps finding new ways to do business with willing partners. Reuters first learned about Glencore's barter deal with Iralco, and an aluminum supply contract that Iralco had with Iran Centrifuge Technology Co (TESA), from a Western diplomatic source in early November. That was about six weeks before the European Union's December 2012 decision to levy sanctions on Iralco for supplying aluminum metal to TESA, which is a subsidiary of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI). The source showed Reuters a Western intelligence report concerning Glencore's arrangement with Iralco. It described how Baar, Switzerland-based Glencore provided Iralco with thousands of tons of alumina last year in exchange for a lesser amount of aluminum metal... It is not known whether any of the aluminum produced by Iralco from Glencore's alumina raw material actually ended up with TESA... In a statement to Reuters, Glencore said it first learned about the TESA-Iralco relationship in December and immediately 'ceased transactions' with Iralco. It said its last actual trade as part of the barter arrangement was in October 2012, two months before the EU move. Glencore acknowledged that it did sign the barter deal with Iralco in August 2011, saying it was perfectly legal and denied any wrongdoing by the firm or attempts to help Iran bypass sanctions. It declined to provide details about the barter deal, the value of which is unclear... Glencore had supplied Iralco with about five tons of alumina for every ton of aluminum that Glencore received in return, according to the intelligence report. Given that on average it takes only about two tons of alumina to produce one ton of aluminum, the barter deal may have left Iralco with more aluminum after processing the alumina than it supplied to Glencore. Iralco covered costs inside Iran, while all activity involving foreign currency payments was covered by Glencore, including shipping costs and insurance, according to the intelligence report. In its statement, Glencore said: 'Glencore complies with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable sanctions. We closely monitor all new legal developments to ensure that we continue to be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable sanctions.'... Swiss authorities said they saw no evidence of U.N. or Swiss sanctions violations by Glencore. Iralco is not under U.S. or U.N. sanctions. The intelligence report described the Glencore deal as a good way for Tehran to get around global financial restrictions, though it did not say that Glencore violated sanctions... United Against Nuclear Iran, a U.S.-based lobby group that puts pressure on companies to cut off business with Iran, said Glencore's Iran business was 'reckless and improper' and urged the U.S. government to take action against the trading firm. 'Foreign entities that engage in improper business in Iran should be barred from U.S. markets and have any U.S. assets frozen,' said Nathan Carleton, the group's spokesman. A banker in London who declined to be identified said the news about Iralco was unlikely to have a direct effect on Glencore's financing... A source close to Glencore said that Iralco received its last alumina shipment from Glencore in September while Glencore received its last delivery of aluminum from Iralco in October. The source declined to comment when asked if the firm continued to do other business with Iran. Glencore announced an end to its fuel sales to Iran in January 2010 to avoid breaching U.S. sanctions. The U.S. Treasury Department declined to comment specifically on Glencore's dealings with Iralco, though a Treasury official told Reuters anyone providing alumina to Iran can face U.S. sanctions under new rules taking effect on July 1... Glencore has been involved in controversies before. It was founded as 'Marc Rich & Co' in 1974 by Marc Rich, who was charged by the U.S. authorities in the early 1980s with evading taxes and selling oil to Iran during the 1979-81 hostage crisis." (Reuters, "Exclusive: Glencore bartered with firm linked to Iran nuclear program," 3/1/2013)
"Switzerland has previously expressed displeasure about sanctions against Iran, largely becaues it has represented U.S. interests in Iran for over 30 years. And, while Switzerland no longer imports Iranian oil, estimates show that one third of the world's oil deals are brokered by five Swiss-based commodity-trading firms – Glencore GLEN.LN +1.25%, Gunvor, Vitol, Trafigura and Mercuria." (The Wall Street Journal, "Treasury's Cohen Heads to Switzerland, Turkey for Sanctions Talks," 8/31/2012)
"Open sources reported that Glencore sold gasoline to Iran in 2009, but subsequently stopped in 2009." (U.S. Government Accountability Office, Report: "Firms Reported in Open Sources to Have Sold Iran Refined Petroleum Products between January 1, 2009 and June," September 3, 2010)
"Glencore, a commodities trader, was a large supplier of gasoline to Iran, but stopped last year in the face of threatened new economic sanctions by the U.S. government. The company, and its predecessor, Marc Rich and Co., had done business with Iran for more than three decades. It also has provided the United States military with transporation services, among other things." From 2000-2009, the company has been the recipient of $20.2 million US federal funds. They have withdrawn their activities in Iran. (The New York Times, "Profiting from Iran, and the US," 3/6/2010)
"Swiss commodities trader Glencore International AG halted gasoline shipments to Iran two to three months ago, people familiar with the matter said, a response in part to the rising prospect of heftier sanctions against the Islamic Republic for its nuclear program. Glencore declined to comment. Glencore has long been one of the biggest gasoline providers to Iran, and the move could frustrate Iran's ability to meet its country's fuel needs…The halt of Glencore's Iran business could also help the company prepare for an anticipated initial public offering. The U.S. House of Representatives last month passed legislation that bars any company that does more than $20 million in oil and gas business with Iran from doing business in the U.S. The Senate is expected to pass the bill early this year." (The Wall Street Journal, "Swiss Firm Halts Its Sales of Gas to Iran," 1/9/09)
"Iran typically gets the bulk of its gasoline from the following five firms: Vitol (Switzerland/Netherlands), Trafigura (Switzerland/Netherlands), Reliance Industries Ltd. (India), Glencore (Switzerland) and Total (France)." (Stratfor, "Special Series:Iran Sanctions," September 2009)
"Due to limited refining capabilities, Iran imports approximately 40% of its domestic gasoline consumption. Iran is the second-largest importer of gasoline in the world. That gasoline is supplied primarily by five companies: the Swiss-Dutch energy trading giants Vitol and Trafigura, the Indian multinational Reliance Industries, the Swiss trader Glencore and the French energy firm Total." (The Wall Street Journal, "Hitting Tehran Where It Hurts," 7/13/09)
"Because of a lack of domestic refining capacity, oil-rich Iran is dependent on gasoline imports to meet about 40 percent of domestic consumption. Iran gets most of its gasoline imports from the Swiss firm Vitol, the Swiss/Dutch firm Trafigura, France's Total, the Swiss firm Glencore and British Petroleum, as well as the Indian firm Reliance." (Agence-France Press, "US lawmakers target Iran gasoline imports," 6/23/09)

gitzo systematic tripods top plate..
Hi all.
why the new gitzo systematic tripods have different size top plates? series 2, 3 and 4 have smaller diameter top plate to series 5..
thank you in advance.
#1. "RE: gitzo systematic tripods top plate.." | In response to Reply # 0Wed 05-Dec-12 03:33 PM
btw I'm thinking to get gt4552gts but if it is much less stable then the gt5562gts maybe I should consider getting 5 series.. the only downside is it's 0.9 kgs heavier..:/

Welcome to Nikonians
Until the very latest updates, the Series 4 used the same top plate size as the Series 5.
Hard to say "why?"... you'd have to ask a Gitzo designer why things are the way they are, and were the way they were in the past. They may feel that larger mounts are more stable, and in the case of the Series 5 the sheer size of the leg diameter may be an issue.

Hi Neil. thank you for the response..
what bothers me is series 2, 3 and the 4 has the same load capacity and why should someone get the tripod from series 4 instead of 3 for instance? I know the leg diameters are very important for reducing and dampening the vibrations and also for general rigidity of the tripod.
I know I answer my questions myself but I would be happier if the gitzo designers were used different top plates for every series.
..I wish I could talk to gitzo designers and learn about this..

Building on a 30-year relationship, top officials from NOAA and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) signed a long-term cooperative agreement, ensuring continued space-based weather, water and climate monitoring.
At a ceremony at the European Union (EU) Delegation in Washington, D.C. yesterday, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Ph.D., NOAA acting administrator and Alain Ratier, EUMETSAT's director general, signed the agreement. They were joined by Dr. Francois Rivasseau, deputy chief of mission, EU Delegation to the United States.
"The need for environmental intelligence has never been stronger. This partnership with our EUMETSAT colleagues allows us to continue collecting and sharing vital space-based observations, resulting in a better understanding of our global environment," Sullivan said.
Ratier added, "The partnership between EUMETSAT and NOAA has continuously developed over the last 30 years and taken a strategic dimension, bringing substantial benefits to Europe, the USA and the worldwide user communities. Today the partnership covers back-up arrangements and data exchange for geostationary satellites and full sharing of low Earth orbit satellite systems, with the Initial Joint Polar System and the Jason series. With this agreement, we have established a policy framework to further develop our cooperation into the next decades."
--NOAA and EUMETSAT operate a joint polar satellite system, where EUMETSAT's Metop satellites fly in the mid-morning orbit, while NOAA's polar satellites and the Suomi NPP spacecraft fly in the afternoon orbit. Both agencies share all the data, which form the backbone of all medium range weather forecasts in the United States and Europe and make up the majority of the data used by the U.S. weather model (GFS) and the major European weather model (ECMWF).
--NOAA instruments fly onboard the EUMETSAT satellites, and EUMETSAT instruments are on the NOAA spacecraft, providing cost savings and more uniform datasets for meteorologists and scientists across continents.
--NOAA and EUMETSAT also exchange data from geostationary satellites, and have a back-up agreement in place for data sharing should either agency's spacecraft experience trouble.
--The partnership also extends to the Jason-2 ocean surface topography mission that has been crucial to improvements in weather modeling and tropical storm intensification forecasting, and is supporting the EU-led Copernicus Earth Observation program with data from the Suomi NPP satellite.

I know its going to make it painful but I want to hear some of your experiences either breastfeeding or pumping.
thank you!!!
I don't have any experience with this with babies yet...however - my mom had it really bad around her nipple when she gave birth to my sister 26 years ago. She was telling me about it today - she was forced to breastfeed with the open wound...it makes me sick to think about it, but my mom is determined that it is what caused my sister's IBS and stomach problems growing up. THere are no studies of course, but my mom is convinced. Best of luck to you ---- I haven't had any sores on my nipples so I am just praying they stay away!
of all the hs boils i have had over my lifeftime the one on that nipple (it is literallyon the nipple) has NEVER healed. I have had two different surgeries on that same nipple removing the lymph nodes, sweat glands etc but did not work. HOw could my baby not have problems drinking the bloody pus discharge from this going directly into her tummy? The result was horrific completely raw bottom the size of my hand, and the screaming. No prescription cream worked, they finally had to put her on a pre-digested formula along with 2 prescription creams. She still has stomach toulbles although not as bad but went through a t errible time with it right before puberty and had to go on prescription meds with all kinds of tests that came up empty. HS needs to have research done. I only wish more could be done to stop this painful and debilitating disfiguring disease. Prayers for all that suffer with it.

Comments about essie Good to Go Top Coat Rapid Dry + Shine, .46 oz:
Love this polish dryer, as good or better than Out the Door. It goes on nice and smooth and dries quickly, as well as drying the underneath polish well. I confess to slapping it on thick undercoats that it shouldn't have been able to handle and it did so well. For some reason, the Essie brush seems to make it especially easy to apply. I have found it can keep my polish mostly intact for a week.
The only negative about it, besides the price, is that it gets gloppy in the bottle kind of fast. Yes, I close it tightly after use. My present bottle is not even 6 months old and the contents are getting thick. When I try to apply it now there are even visible "strings" between the brush and bottle as I pull it out. Kind of annoying since I have half a bottle to go and doubt I will be able to use it much longer. Despite this, it works so well before it gets syrupy that I will probably repurchase.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
