Beam matching and halo control
Description: We present an overview of the status of ongoing work on physics models describing beam matching and halo control for particle accelerators, particularly high power ion linacs. We consider moments and various new variables that more naturally describe beam halo evolution. We compute matched beams and ``mode invariants`` (analogs of moment invariants) using primarily symbolic techniques.

text: What's being billed as "the world's largest Ouija board" will be out in front of the Hollywood Wax Museum Friday (the 13th) at 4 p.m., with 35 contestants on hand to play the 12-by-7-foot board. A publicist says they'll be "summoning the psychic energy of the ghost" that reportedly hangs there. It's all to hype the opening of Cinema Group's horror pic, "Witchboard" (a nickname for Ouija board).

Thank you so much for your work on this, and for the awesome updates!
I made a box for use in geoscience courses at our high school, I am wondering if I can use this in my AP physics classes as well. I can see using the contour map to show differences in electric potential across a field (hills for + and holes for -) I would love to use the box to show point charges moving within the field. Is there a way to manipulate the water simulation to show a single large particle (like a ball or a charged particle) instead of a system of water particles? This would be great for showing dipoles and other electrical simulations. Thanks again for sharing the source code, Oliver, this has been a great joy for me and my students.
The above link worked, thanks.
I found this thread, will try it out later, hopefully will work.

Hi Greg,
I've been monitoring this forum for a couple months (recently posted for the first time) as I am building a box for my school district. I am good friends with Derek who works for AGU and interviewed you this evening at the conference. Thanks for sharing your email and I'll be in touch if I have any questions. Things are going along pretty well so far. Just thought it was a funny coincidence that Derek called me tonight to say that he met someone who made one too, gave me your name, and then I saw your post in this forum. Cheers!
Thanks for the response, Oliver. I went ahead and followed your instructions in the videos and READ ME files and came up with a very good intrinsic calibration using the transparent checkerboard.

DHL introduces new technologies and delivery solutions in US to meet evolving demands of the urban consumer [Integrator]
DHL's continuing innovation efforts to develop strategies and tools to improve e-commerce logistics includes robotics and augmented reality
DHL eCommerce to launch Parcel Metro service in seven US cities in 2018 to provide greater choice, convenience and control to consumers
DHL is piloting a range of new technologies in its U.S. operations. As consumer expectations are rapidly evolving due to a number of major trends, including e-commerce, urbanization and sustainability in particular, logistics providers are being challenged to provide more flexible and efficient services. DHL is proactively addressing the evolving requirements of the market by introducing new technologies within its U.S. operations. DHL Supply Chain has introduced robotics - including the LocusBots and Sawyer collaborative robots - and augmented reality glasses in warehouse operations to improve productivity in the fulfillment of customer orders. DHL Express has been piloting artificial intelligence in its customer applications to further enhance its customer service. The company has registered a 10% increase in shipment processing accuracy through increased automation at its hubs and gateways, while its On Demand Delivery online service has increased the first time delivery success for e-commerce shipments from 80% to 92%.
The company's DHL eCommerce unit has launched DHL Parcel Metro, a new fast and flexible service for online retailers that meets consumers' increasing demand for same-day and next-day delivery. Parcel Metro utilizes customized software that allows DHL eCommerce to create a 'virtual delivery network' of local and regional contract couriers and crowd-sourced providers to ensure maximum flexibility and capacity over the last mile. Retailers can offer a fully branded suite of delivery options to their customers. For consumers, the service creates a seamless experience: an online and mobile interface allows consumers to track shipments in real-time, communicate special instructions to their courier, reschedule a delivery and rate their delivery experience. The new service is now available in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, and will be launched in Dallas, Atlanta, San Francisco and Washington DC later in the year.
"E-tailers today recognize more and more that the customer experience - and their ability to build customer loyalty - is won and lost in how well the orders are fulfilled and delivered," said Charles Brewer, CEO, DHL eCommerce. "Deutsche Post DHL Group is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to offer the best service, quality and efficiency for our customers. The DHL Parcel Metro solution provides a technology solution to the last mile opportunity. Our digitalization journey is all about how we can add value to our customers, to our employees and to our shareholders. DHL Parcel Metro is part of a number of innovations we are actively implementing, including augmented reality glasses for greater pick accuracy, "follow me" robots, and autonomous vehicles."
"Eighty-six percent of consumers associate delivery as part of their total online shopping experience, according to recent research.1 It's therefore important for DHL to offer services that not only meet their needs, but do so in a highly consistent fashion. It's important for DHL to offer services that not only meet our customers' needs, but do so in a highly consistent fashion.1 DHL Parcel Metro provides that consistency, and offers retailers the ability to extend their brand and messaging to consumers throughout the final mile delivery for a unique shopping experience," said Lee Spratt, CEO, DHL eCommerce Americas.
DHL Supply Chain President of Retail, Jim Gehr said: "Innovative technology is becoming an extremely important element in e-commerce logistics because of changing customer demands. We are using software technology to speed order flow and to more efficiently organize distribution centers. Hardware solutions like LocusBots allow for faster picking. What we look for is the smart combination of software and hardware."

Panalpina Clean energy for 54,000 Australian homes with Downer(Panalpina) [Forwarder]
Panalpina has been increasing its participation in the renewable energy sector by investing significant efforts and resources in the industry through its Energy and Project Solutions. As mentioned in its most recent article on renewable energy in Australia, the company is currently showcasing a series of valuable ongoing projects that will help reshape Australia's energy future.
Today's turn is for leading integrated services company Downer, which awarded Panalpina with the Ross River Solar Farm contract in 2017. Panalpina will control shipping, customs clearance, inland transport, warehousing and site coordination for ocean freight from Asia and the USA.
From mango farm to solar farm
Construction is now under way on a disused mango farm in the dry tropics of Queensland. The Ross River Solar Farm will have 417,000 solar panels installed with the capacity to generate 148 MW of clean energy – enough to power over 54,000 homes. The farm is expected to operate for up to 40 years, after which it will be refurbished for further use or decommissioned, returning the area to its natural condition.
"Downer insisted on a long-term cooperation for solar projects in Australia, and Panalpina is already engaged in logistics RFQs for new initiatives. They have a strong pipeline and we have put a framework agreement in place so they can add projects to our scope of work as they come online," says Justin Bound,country head of Energy and Project Solutions for Australia and New Zealand.
Once the Ross River Solar Farm is complete, Downer will have facilitated the delivery of more than 2.3 GW of clean, zero emissions electricity to the Australian market.

Deutsche Post DHL Group to build another mega parcel center near Berlin [Integrator]
Logistics company and the city of Ludwigsfelde sign purchase agreement for property on a site of about 165,000 square meters
New location will create up to 600 new jobs subject to wage agreements and social security contributions
New parcel center scheduled to go online in 2020
Deutsche Post DHL Group is constructing a new mega parcel center in the town of Ludwigsfelde in Brandenburg, just outside Berlin, as part of the company's ongoing investment in its parcel network. Up to 600 new jobs that are subject to wage agreements and social security contributions will be created after the new center on the 165,000m2 site goes into operation. The city of Ludwigsfelde and Deutsche Post DHL Group have already signed the relevant purchase agreement for the property. The sorting capacity of the new parcel center will be about 50,000 shipments per hour, providing additional support for the two existing parcel centers in nearby Rüdersdorf and Börnicke.
"The parcel market is still growing rapidly due to the e-commerce boom, in particular," says Jürgen Gerdes, Board Member for the Post - eCommerce - Parcel division at Deutsche Post DHL Group. "We are making our network even tighter, and continuously investing in the efficiency of our parcel infrastructure in order to carry on offering our customers the same high service quality in terms of speed and reliability in the future. Another reason we have become the best parcel provider in the market is because we have the best network. The new parcel center that we are now setting up is in a region with particularly strong parcel growth, indeed it represents an essential component of our strategy." The company already has a sorting capacity of more than 1 million parcels per hour in its 34 parcel centers - and Deutsche Post DHL Group expects average annual parcel growth of between five and seven percent until 2020.
"The development of our Eichspitze Ludwigsfelde 4.0 industrial part is well under way. The addition of one of the most important DAX companies will trigger the further development and marketing of the area", says Andreas Igel, mayor of the town of Ludwigsfelde.
The property occupies about 68 hectare in the area known as "An der Eichspitze," approximately 11 kilometers from the southern city limits of Berlin. The property is currently being developed to ensure the construction of the new parcel center will start as planned in summer 2018.
In 2016, Deutsche Post DHL Group commissioned its largest parcel center to date, in Obertshausen, which also has a sorting capacity of 50,000 shipments per hour. In the summer of 2017, construction work began on the similarly high-performance parcel center in Bochum, which is scheduled to begin operations in 2019.

DHL plans new logistics hub at Vienna airport [Integrator]
DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Freight sign land purchase contract
DHL Campus Vienna Airport to become central gateway to Eastern Europe
DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Freight signed a contract for purchasing land in the Vienna airport region today. Starting in summer 2018, the DHL Campus Vienna Airport will be developed on premises measuring roughly 60,000 sqm in the Fischamend district. The facility will take on a key role as a freight hub for Eastern Europe in the future. By establishing a joint site for DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Freight, synergies between the different transport modes - land, air and ocean - are to be exploited even more effectively.
"DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Freight are combining the individual strengths of their two networks at the new site in Fischamend, which will lead to an even faster, more efficient service for our customers," explains Uwe Brinks, CEO of DHL Freight. "The site is in proximity to Vienna airport and as such strategically well-located, providing us with low-threshold access to Eastern European markets and Germany. Through this project, we will establish an important new logistics hub together, creating a gateway into and out of the east and enabling us to further grow our volumes."
Both divisions will each build a warehouse including office buildings on the new site, connecting them to the airport and linking them to its infrastructure. To date, DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Freight managed their business from three locations in Vienna, which are now being merged on the new campus. This results in significant efficiency gains, especially in terms of turnaround times and handling costs. The new site will have a higher number of docks and will also have cross-docks for the first time. The newly acquired property borders the A4 freeway, which connects the airport with Vienna city center.
"Located directly at Vienna airport, Fischamend perfectly meets our requirements for the DHL Campus, through which we intend to bundle our expertise, improve our service, and consequently further strengthen our market position in Austria," says Christoph Wahl, managing director for Austria at DHL Global Forwarding.
"Good connections to Eastern Europe are particularly crucial for us. Thanks to our shared base with DHL Freight and the proximity to the airport, we will be able to serve this market even more effectively," adds Hermann Filz, CEO for Eastern Europe at DHL Global Forwarding.
The new warehouses and office buildings will not only meet the highest security standards (TAPA A) but will also comply with the most rigorous environmental protection requirements. The sustainable design and use of renewable energies will directly contribute to Deutsche Post DHL Group's goal of reducing all logistics-related emissions to zero by 2050. In addition to alternative drives and green transportation solutions, sustainable construction methods and modernization of Deutsche Post DHL Group sites will play a key role in achieving this goal.
"The relocation of the world's leading logistics company DHL to Vienna airport region is yet another important step for the dynamic development of the Airport City and will create new jobs while making the airport region even more attractive. This is also evident from the high level of interest shown by domestic and foreign advertisers. Given its proximity to the airport as a hub, an excellent service infrastructure and an optimal connection to the airport's infrastructure, the Vienna airport region offers perfect conditions for business locations. The government's decision to expand the eastbound rail link represents another important improvement," says Dr. Günther Ofner, Member of the Executive Board of Flughafen Wien AG.
"It is especially gratifying that the international logistics group DHL has chosen Fischamend for its new operational site and therefore creates new jobs and drives the local economy. The attraction as well strengths of the Vienna airport region are being highlighted by it," adds Mag. Thomas Ram, Major of the town council Fischamend.

DHL and Accenture unlock the power of blockchain in logistics [Integrator]
Trend report explores the technology's potential for improving transparency and traceability in supply chains and automating commercial processes
Blockchain technology spending expected to increase more than tenfold globally between 2017 to 2021
Proof of concept successfully demonstrated track and trace of pharmaceutical products from manufacturing to patients, showing potential to eliminate counterfeiting of drugs
DHL has released a trend report in cooperation with Accenture, a leading global technology consultant, on blockchain technology's potential to transform the logistics industry. Global supply chains are notoriously complex, with a diverse set of stakeholders, varying interests, and many third-party intermediaries - challenges that blockchain is well suited to address. The report includes initial findings on a working prototype developed by DHL and Accenture, which tracks pharmaceuticals from the point of origin to the consumer, preventing tampering and errors.
"The experiments with blockchain in finance are well known, but we believe logistics is an area where the new technology will have a truly profound impact," insists Matthias Heutger, Senior Vice President DHL Customer Solutions & Innovation. "Implementing productive solutions however, will require further technological development and, critically, collaboration between all stakeholders."
Blockchain is a new type of database system that maintains, records and authenticates data and transactions. In supply chains, products are assigned unique identifiers that allow their entire history to be captured as it moves to the end customer. Stakeholders validate this information in real time and if anyone tries to tamper with, alter or erase a record, everyone will know.
Saving patients by authenticating medications
"We see especially exciting potential for blockchain in pharmaceuticals, which is why we focused our proof of concept with Accenture on the life sciences and healthcare industry," says Keith Turner, CIO Chief Development Office, DHL Supply Chain. "By utilizing the inherent irrefutability within blockchain technologies, we can make great strides in highlighting tampering, reducing the risk of counterfeits and actually saving lives."
As many as one million lives are lost each year due to counterfeit medications, according to Interpol, and it is estimated that up to 30% of pharmaceutical products sold in emerging markets are counterfeit. DHL and Accenture created a blockchain-based serialization prototype with nodes in six geographies to track pharmaceuticals across the supply chain. The ledger tracking these medicines may be shared with stakeholders, including manufacturers, warehouses, distributors, pharmacies, hospitals, and doctors. Lab-simulations show how blockchain could handle more than seven billion unique serial numbers and 1,500 transactions per second.
"We've worked closely with DHL to understand and document the broad impact blockchain will have on supply chains of the future," adds Andreas Baier, Accenture lead for the travel and transportation industry and DHL client team leader. "Using a common, indelible and secure ledger, the industry can achieve much higher safety standards - from the factory to the patient - at much lower cost. This is one of several opportunities blockchain affords to restructure business processes while reducing cost and complexity."
Applying blockchain technology to supply chains
Blockchain technology shows great promise for dramatically improving the efficiency and reliability of supply chains in all industries. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), global spending on blockchain solutions is forecast to reach US$2.1 billion in 2018, more than double the US$945 million spent in 2017. In 2021 annual spending is expected to reach US$9.7 billion.1
DHL and Accenture's pharmaceutical prototype is just one of the use cases highlighted in their trend report. Blockchain could also be used for asset management, to improve transparency and traceability, and to automate commercial processes with "smart contracts," which facilitate and verify the performance of contracts without third parties. The potential for blockchain in logistics is significant. However, moving from concepts and pilot applications to actually deploying viable solutions will require the technology to be further developed, organizational transformation and a willingness to collaborate between all stakeholders. Success depends on all parties working together to transform legacy processes and to jointly adopt new ways of creating logistics value.

Panalpina reports record year in Air Freight [Forwarder]
International freight forwarding and logistics company Panalpina ended the year 2017 with strong Air Freight volumes and margins, while in the fourth quarter margin pressure continued to impact the financial results in Ocean Freight. For the full year, Panalpina's reported EBIT increased from CHF 82.0 million (adjusted for restructuring costs 2016: CHF 109.9 million) to CHF 103.3 million and the reported consolidated profit increased from CHF 52.3 million (adjusted 2016: CHF 80.2 million) to CHF 57.5 million. In local currencies, reported EBIT and consolidated profit in 2017 reached CHF 106.0 million and CHF 60.0 million, respectively.
"2017 ended with record high volumes and profitability in Air Freight. We secured extra capacity early on in the year, well ahead of the exceptionally strong peak season when global capacity became scarce. Consequently, we were able to serve our customers in a very challenging market where others failed," says Panalpina CEO Stefan Karlen. "In Ocean Freight, we kept volumes stable throughout the year, but as margin pressure continued into the fourth quarter, a full-year loss resulted for that part of our business. All in all, 2017 demonstrated Panalpina's robustness as we continued to go through a period of transformation and disciplined strategy execution."

In 2017, Panalpina's gross profit decreased 2% to CHF 1,397.8 million (2016: CHF 1,424.6 million), while total operating expenses decreased 1% to CHF 1,251.6 million (2016: CHF 1,265.0 million). Reported EBIT and consolidated profit increased year-on-year, but decreased when compared to respective 2016 figures adjusted for restructuring costs. Reported EBIT reached CHF 103.3 million compared to CHF 82.0 million a year before (adjusted 2016: CHF 109.9 million) and the EBIT-to-gross-profit margin stood at 7.4% up from 5.8% (adjusted 2016: 7.7%). The consolidated profit increased from CHF 52.3 million to CHF 57.5 million. Barring negative currency impacts, reported EBIT and consolidated profit in 2017 reached CHF 106.0 million and CHF 60.0 million, respectively.
Air Freight
Panalpina's Air Freight volumes increased 8% in 2017. The company transported 995,900 tons of air cargo last year (2016: 921,400), the highest volumes in the company's history. From January to December, gross profit, unit profitability and EBIT in Air Freight increased with every quarter. Compared to the same period of last year, gross profit per ton decreased 1% to CHF 642 (2016: CHF 646), while overall gross profit increased to CHF 639.4 million (2016: CHF 595.2 million). Reported EBIT in Air Freight increased from CHF 80.8 million (adjusted 2016: CHF 93.5 million) to CHF 110.3 million. The EBIT-to-gross-profit margin came in at 17.3% compared to 13.6% (adjusted 2016: 15.7%) a year before.
Ocean Freight
Panalpina's Ocean Freight volumes increased 2% year-on-year. Panalpina transported 1,520,500 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) in 2017 (2016: 1,488,500 TEUs). Gross profit per TEU decreased 6% to CHF 281 (2016: CHF 298), bringing gross profit to CHF 427.2 million (2016: CHF 443.8 million). Substantially lower margins, resulting from a challenging carrier environment and moderately increased costs due to the ongoing IT system implementation, meant that Ocean Freight recorded an EBIT loss for the full year of CHF 15.1 million, compared to a loss of CHF 0.6 million in 2016 (adjusted 2016: CHF 10.9 million).
In Logistics, gross profit decreased 14% to CHF 331.1 million year-on-year (2016: CHF 385.7 million), but picked up in the fourth quarter while ramp-up costs for various projects and investments in a new facility in Singapore impacted EBIT. For the full year, Logistics posted an EBIT of CHF 8.1 million, compared to CHF 1.8 million (adjusted 2016: CHF 5.6 million) for the same period last year.
In light of the solid net cash position, the board of directors will propose an unchanged dividend payment of CHF 3.75 per share to the annual general meeting on May 8, 2018. This is equivalent to a dividend yield of 2.5% (based on the 2017 year-end share price).
"The fact that all relevant economic indices are trending upwards makes us reasonably confident for 2018," says Karlen. "We have made solid progress in Air Freight and reached a good cruising altitude on which we can build and that will allow us to reach the targeted conversion ratio in due course. In Ocean Freight, we know what needs to be done to make it into calmer waters again and in Logistics, the focus remains on top-line growth by further expanding our offering of value-added services."

A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S has tcompleted the sale of Maersk Oil to Total [Shipping Line]
A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S [A.P. Moller - Maersk] has received all regulatory approvals and has today completed the sale of Mærsk Olie og Gas A/S [Maersk Oil] to Total S.A. [Total], which was announced on 21 August 2017.
A.P. Moller - Maersk has transferred its shares in Maersk Oil to Total and as consideration received 97.5 million Total shares equalling USD 5.6bn as of 7 March 2018. In addition to the shares, Total has assumed a short-term debt of USD 2.5bn via a debt push down from A.P. Moller - Maersk into Maersk Oil, which will be repaid to A.P. Moller - Maersk shortly after closing. The proceeds will after customary closing adjustments be used to reduce debt in A.P. Moller - Maersk.
The accounting gain for A.P. Moller - Maersk amounts to USD 2.6bn. This reflects a locked box interest and the positive development of the Total S.A. share price up to 7 March 2018 and is reduced by Maersk Oil's net profit realized in the period from 1 July 2017 until closing.
As announced in August, A.P. Moller - Maersk plans, subject to meeting its investment grade objective, to return a material portion of the value of the received Total shares to its shareholders during 2018/2019 in the form of extraordinary dividend, share buyback and/or distribution of Total shares.
"I would like to express our appreciation for the commitment demonstrated by Maersk Oil over the past 18 months to uphold a safe and solid performance, while at the same time successfully progressing on major development projects in the North Sea. The focus and results achieved during the time of transition is a testament to the capabilities and professionalism of Maersk Oil's people," says Søren Skou, CEO of A.P. Moller - Maersk and continues:
"With the completion of the Maersk Oil transaction, we have taken a significant step in our strategy to focus A.P. Moller - Maersk on container shipping, ports and logistics".
Denmark will become a new regional anchor point for Total with strong Copenhagen and Esbjerg bases, which will supervise all of Total's operations in Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands. Moreover, the Copenhagen office will host the Senior Vice President of Total's North Sea and Russia Business Unit. A new Technical centre is to be established in Copenhagen, supplementing Total's existing centres in Paris and Pau. Planned development schedules and investments in strategic and sanctioned projects will be upheld.
"We have today secured a financially strong and focused owner of Maersk Oil with a long-term investment interest in the industry. We are very pleased to see Total's plans to deliver growth, value creation and career opportunities for Maersk Oil's employees, as well as upholding the long-term investment plans, especially in the Danish part of the North Sea. Based on Maersk Oil's leading technology position, and its track record as a lean, efficient and trusted partner, Total has made Denmark a regional anchor point for its North Sea business, hereby ensuring a continued Danish stronghold in the North Sea, close to technology and innovation partners at the Danish technical institutions and in the oil and gas service industry," says Claus V. Hemmingsen, Vice CEO of A.P. Moller - Maersk and CEO of the Energy division.
It is an integral part of A.P. Moller - Maersk's purpose to safeguard the long-term viability of its companies by investing in and building value-creating businesses that have a positive impact on society. This is also a guiding principle in the work to define viable solutions for the oil and oil-related businesses.
"By selling Maersk Oil to Total, a leading global oil major, we have ensured the best possible foundation for the continued development of the people, capabilities and assets, on which Maersk Oil has prospered, creating value to the benefit of both A.P. Moller - Maersk and Denmark," says Jim Hageman Snabe, Chairman of the Board of A.P. Moller - Maersk and continues:
"On behalf of A.P. Moller - Maersk, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all employees in Maersk Oil for the passion, efforts and devotion to Maersk Oil and A.P. Moller - Maersk displayed by all through the years."
As part of the transaction Total will take over all decommissioning liabilities. The Danish Energy Agency's approval of the transfer conditions that A.P. Moller - Maersk assumes secondary liability for the decommissioning costs related to existing Danish offshore facilities corresponding to Maersk Oil's 31.2 % interest in the Danish Underground Consortium, should Total be unable to cover such costs. Maersk Oil's current provision for these decommissioning costs amounts to USD 1.2bn. A.P. Moller - Maersk's secondary liability will be reduced as part of the redevelopment of the Tyra project as well as future decommissioning of other existing facilities.
Maersk Drilling and Maersk Supply Service remain to have viable solutions established. Improved market conditions in the offshore drilling industry, as well as strategic progress in both businesses has raised A.P. Moller - Maersk's confidence in finding structural solutions for both before the end of 2018, why they have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

Ojos del Salado, the highest volcano on earth
Sunday, 12 February 2012 21:24
Ojos del Salado is not only the highest volcano on earth, it is with 6893 meters also the highest summit of Chile and of the province Catamarca in Argentina, and it is the second tallest peak of the Andes and outside of Asia in our world. Another particularly of Ojos del Salado in comparison to the other high mountains of Chile and Argentina is that you have to climb the last 50 meter to the summit, not very difficult (grade II to III). But you have to consider the enormous height of more than 6800 meters!
Ojos del Salado has a very good infrastructure including a base camp at the Laguna Verde and two mountain huts on the Chilean standard way to its Chilean summit.
After we had crossed the border between Argentina and Chile on the Paso San Francisco we checked the conditions of the ascent to the Ojos del Salado at the base camp at the Laguna Verde. Indeed there was a German young man on the summit today, and he ensured us that the conditions are very well, e.g. good steps in the snow and no snow on the climbing section. But there were two hooks: We have to pay 160U$ per person for the usage of the huts and we need a permit of DIFROL, which is the Chilean border control. The first one is ok, but the latter one means driving 270km very dirty and dusty road to Copiapo and back - In summary 540km deviation! So we promised Paula and Mario, the two mountain guides which administer the climbing to Ojos del Salado, to come back in two days, if the weather forecast is good.

Tolkien's Bastards: Why Certain Fantasy Tropes Stick
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Think Pieces | April 4, 2012 |
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Think Pieces | April 4, 2012 |
There's an ironic mock review of The Lord of the Rings that's been floating around since before the Internet was a glimmer in Al Gore's eye. It's written from the point of view of a role-playing game nerd, reviewing the novels as if they were the foundation for a new RPG in the vein of Dungeons and Dragons. The review rips the novels apart in the way that only someone who truly loves the target could manage to do. It's interesting that not only does this genre spawned by Tolkien live on, but that it lives on with so few changes to the basic structure. When a story resonates, the components work like elements of a dream that repeat over and over again every night. They don't necessarily mean something literal, but there's something embedded in them, and it's not always straightforward or complimentary. A gecko in your dream doesn't mean much, but a gecko in every dream, surreal or realistic, nightmarish or erotic? Then that gecko means something to your twisted brain.
Of course there are plenty of authors who write in the fantasy genre, while gleefully ignoring all of these tropes. But what's fascinating is that those are the exceptions that prove the rule, they are almost defined by the absence of certain tropes. They're painting in the negative space so to speak.
The Secret Prince
One of the most enduring tropes of fiction, and fantasy in particular, is the discovery of hidden ancestry. The peasant hero must be the secret son of the king. It's present even in stories in which the heritage plays no apparent role until the very end. The commoner saves everyone, by the sheer effort of yanking himself up from dirt farming, but the punchline to the story will nearly inevitably be: plus you're secretly heir to the throne! Sure, it gives the hero a great reward to round out the story, but there's also a layer of utterly regressive explanation to it. Ah, part of our mind can say, that's why nobody was able to be somebody, because they were actually somebody to start with.
The Bourgeois Peasants
Outside of the strain of gritty fantasy like George RR Martin, which tries to create a world true to the society of the middle ages but with magic and dragons and such tossed in for fun, you just don't find rural poverty in fantasy novels. And more than just lacking the crushing violent serfdom that actually characterized the world of the commoner, fantasy novels have a very particular vision of the commoner. And it's one very familiar from both American and British mythologies of their own history. Peasants in fantasy are almost without fail well-educated land owners. Self sufficient with some of their crop, selling the rest for a profit. Invariably there's an old sword hanging above the mantle, to be taken down in case of banditry. They are the prototypical Jeffersonian yeoman farmers. Illiterate? Chained to the land? Virtual chattel? Not in fantasy.
The Evil Empire
It's really very simple. There is good and there is evil. Which means that there are good nations and evil ones. There will inevitably be one that is the big bad evil one. It will be a dictatorial empire ruled by a terrible tyrant. Said tyrant's goals will include (but not necessarily be limited to) conquering every square inch of the planet, enslaving the population, and ... well that's about it. They're just evil okay? This appeals to some part of our mind that likes the world to be simple. It likes there to simply be identifiable bad guys so we can go land on Normandy.
The Enslaved Monsters
Goblins, orcs, trollocs, trolls ... the list of only slightly differentiable big, ugly, stupid creatures that border on the animalistic goes on and on in fantasy. Generally the creatures are morally irredeemable, tainted through some dark magical creation, and are commonly referred to as slaves. The latter is especially interesting because although these creatures are given no freedom, they are never rescued, never granted freedom by which they might attain the light. The sword is the only answer to their existence, the only release they may ever know. Part of this goes hand in hand with the stark contrast of good and evil in fantasy in general, but it gains further emphasis by the notion that the armies of evil are composed of the unwilling. It's a cop out of morality, a literal manifestation of the enemy as the other. And those who are willing, the ringwraiths and such, they are portrayed universally not as the other side, but as traitors. All wars in fantasy are race wars.
Ignoble Nobility
Fantasies don't have democracies except on occasion when there's a merchant nation over in the corner of the map that the main characters get to around book four. Said nation is almost invariably overwhelmingly corrupt. Some of this pattern is the simple mimicry of a medieval world. Kings and nobility go hand in hand with swords and charging knights. But with a literate and financially well off populace, all the seeds are planted for someone to just demand a damn election already. It's one thing when gritty fiction features kings, but quite another when the more idealistic fantasy fiction systematically casts the good nation as a hereditary monarchy.
During one of their little writers' group meetings in which Tolkien began reading aloud his next chapter, C.S. Lewis is famously reported to have remarked "not another fucking elf." There's certainly a strand of fantasy that has tried to bring the old fairie implications of elves back into play, the terrible cruelty of immortal beings, but the Tolkien archetype has stuck fairly well of gorgeous immortal creatures living in the woods and mastering the art of the bow.
Round Worlds
Terry Pratchett aside, it's amazing that of all the possible configurations of worlds once physics and science are removed from the equation, the plain old ball of rock tends to be the one we return to. It's evidence of just how situated we are in a scientific era, that worlds simply are round. We actually cast our vision of the world into fantasy, unable to suspend disbelief otherwise.
This list is not intended as criticism. It's certainly not meant to say "fix these damned stupid things that I'm sick of or I'll find a new genre." But it's fascinating to hold up to the light the things that recur over and over again in our fiction, to see what those themes are reflecting back to us about ourselves.

Sometimes in the world and the universe it feels as if everyone is against us. More times than not it feels that you are always hearing "no, you can't do that." I think this can be more because the word no, holds so much more weight in our minds than the word yes. Yes validates what we are thinking and feeling and helps us to realize we should continue on our path. But the word no, that word stops us dead in our tracks. Sometimes makes us even retreat on our path because we feel that we must no longer know what we are doing based on the opinion of one person.
No work that is worth doing, or worth of any importance was told yes by every person that came on their path. There were inevitably no's. Maybe the no came from someone who didn't have the capacity to believe in your idea. Maybe the no came from someone who was jealous that you are working towards something of importance and they don't have the guts to do it themselves. Maybe the no came from someone who was in a bad mood that day. Maybe the no came from someone who always pessimistic.
For every no you will receive, there will always be yes's. People that are supporting you and cheering you on. People in the world you don't even know who are supporting you that are supporting you. The people in the universe that want to drive beautiful projects that mean something are always looking to support those who have the ideas to create them.
I sat at a college this morning in a cubicle in the library. Having not set foot on a college campus in a few years, it is a funny feeling to be at one. But what I noticed at this cubicle, there were a bunch of immature messages, totally portraying the minds of typical college students. But what I found that was more important were the amount of positive messages. Trying to tell their fellow students to be better and to believe in themselves.
These messages made me smile as I sat down. The students that wrote these messages, these are the people in the world that are worth connecting with. Every person was placed on this earth to help make a difference. That difference does not always need to be something grand like finding the cure for cancer, or solving world hunger. The importance of living, is finding your niche, the place that you want to make a difference and finding the people to connect with that believe in making that difference as well. Don't ever let the people that give you a million reasons why your project won't work hold you from traveling on your path. There are so many beautiful things that are created today that would have not come to fruition if they listened to all the no's. Find the people who believe in you, think you are worth it, and want to change the world too.
Once upon a time, when I graduated from high school, I took a quote from one of my favorite Dave Matthews Band songs "You Might Die Trying" and I put it as my Senior Yearbook quote:
To change the world, start with one step. However small, the first step is hardest of all.
I have taken that first step and it was hard. I won't lie, the steps after feel hard too. But they aren't as hard as the first one. Always take that first step, the world will be a better place when you do.

Festival billing for Robbie
24th April 2017
Robbie Robinson's ambition is on its way to becoming a reality. The Sixth former recently had his first 'big gig' at a packed club in Exeter, and overcame his nerves to put in an amazing performance.
Robbie loved the experience and the club paused the music at the end to give him a round of applause from the revellers. His is a real example of following your dreams whatever they are - and fitting them in with A Levels and part-time working…..! He is now scheduled to perform at the 'Lockdown Festival' at Powderham Castle in September.
The remarkable thing is that he has achieved all this by himself with his own drive and tenacity. He has worked part time at Sainsbury's to buy his (very) expensive equipment and is mainly self-taught.
He has self-funded a training session at the London Sound Academy and organised gigs by networking and pushing himself forward, displaying the Trinity spirit in a totally different way, and benefitting from the journey he has been on at the school over the last 16 years.

I'm being induced today at 12 noon! I'm so excited to meet Easton! I know I'm way behind on posting and updating. I'll have to back track sometime.
I'm hoping to have Easton today on Good Friday, because, I had Max on Good Friday 2 years ago. It would be fun to have them both on Good Friday, and they still would have separate birthdays.
I can't wait to have labor over with and see and hold Easton for the first time. It's the greatest feeling in the world.
Mommy loves you Easton!! I'm going to be kissing and snuggling you soon. :)

What if you then received the gift of this deep wisdom?
"Rochelle is deeply gifted in the working realms of nature, particularly trees. Her unique understanding of their expressions is captivating. Equally, the words of the majestic Oak speaks to us in such a way that allows for our own growth to emerge. Wise and boundless, the soul of Oak imbues universal truth through the art of story - worth listening to with every fibre of your being. There is so much we can learn from her. Thank you Rochelle for this gift." — Deanne Mathews
"Baobab Tree's Gift is a narrative that connects the deep sense of humanity with our Mother Nature. If offers a series of nuggets of wisdom that go from true stories of leadership in villages in Senegal to practical reminders of how to live a more fulfilling life including the value of time, connectedness and listening with open spirit. I recommend Baobab Tree's Gift to nurture your inner self and re-connect with your purpose in life." — Yarianni Rodriguez
"Rochelle shares in such a beautiful and profound way her journey of healing and awakening - a story which relates to each and every one of us. Reading through each chapter, you can feel the spirit of the Banyan tree whispering her mystical secrets, enfolding you in her arms, and embracing you with unconditional love.

"Wow, wow, wow was all I could put into words after I finished reading 'Olive Tree's Gift' by Rochelle. I loved the healing journey I was taken on and the relationship formed between this ancient Olive tree and the courageous divine woman, whose authenticity and inner beauty show's up in every word penned. Trees are our Earth wisdom teachers and in this series of books, Rochelle has captured that essence perfectly. A powerful, inspirational and empowering read." - Mari Romero
"A timely read for me… I really like the many teachings – they make sense and are so relevant to my current everyday life.
Pagoda's wise words about 'silence' allowed both my internal and external growth; my mind was then calm, focused and able to absorb new learning. This book teaches and encourages you to practice techniques for day-today well-being of the inner-self, both mind and physical – I was gifted self-awareness, positive energy and calm." -Angela Turner
"This was a beautiful very well-written story that held my attention from the first to the last page. Throughout this book I found so many techniques that I could use daily; these skills will help me to deal with the anxiety that I sometimes suffer when there are stressful moments in my life. My favourite chapters were 'Being Present', 'Choice' and 'Perception'. I felt an inner peace whilst reading this book and know that I will take on the lessons held within these pages." - Donna Lucarelli
".....Rochelle's gifts of extra-sensory perception offer the reader an opportunity, a glimpse into the realms of tree magic. Moreton Bay Fig is a Grande teacher, with much to share about helping us to become our true essence and reminds us all of the importance of
nurturing our imagination, for that is where the magic dwells: The Dreaming, where all things are possible. I am so glad Rochelle is sharing this wisdom she received, for I believe it has come at a time on this planet, when it is most needed."

Chicken with Dumplings
~serves 4-6
For the soup:
3 Tablespoons butter
2-3 carrots, peeled and diced
3-4 celery stalks, including leafy tops, diced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 bay leaves
3 Tablespoons flour
6-8 Cups good-quality, homemade chicken stock
For the dumplings:
2 Cups organic all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 Cup buttermilk
1. In a large pot, saute the carrot, celery, garlic, and bay leaves in butter over medium heat for a few minutes, until the veggies are soft.
2. Add the flour, stir and cook for a couple minutes. (This is your thickener for the soup).
3. Gradually add the chicken stock, stirring well.
4. Continue to simmer for about 15 minutes, until the soup thickens to your liking.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded chicken.
6. Prepare the dumplings: Sift together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and buttermilk. Combine the wet into the dry, and mix lightly. The batter will be thick. Using two spoons or your hands (my preferred method), shape the dough into balls and drop them into the soup.
7. Cook the dumplings in the soup for 10-15 minutes, until they are firm and fluffy.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley or celery tops.
This kind of cooking is forgiving, too. It doesn't mind intermittent stops and starts while you attend to more important matters. Nor is it problematic, I've found, if there is a baby occasionally hanging off your leg as you prepare it.

Dermot Looney, the Labour Party candidate in June's local elections in Tallaght Central, has welcomed the National Youth Council of Ireland's (NYCI) campaign to lower the voting age to 16. Looney, 26, is the youngest candidate in South Dublin County and had previously launched a similar campaign in June 2008 aimed at reducing the voting age for local and Euro elections.
The NYCI campaign puts pressure on Minister for the Environment, John Gormley, who has responsibility for voting legislation and who promised in the Greens' last manifesto to drop the voting age.
"16 and 17 year olds have a great deal of experience with the democratic process. The teenagers of this generation have far more knowledge of politics through the CSPE programme in secondary schools. They are increasingly engaged in political and charity campaigns. And they are heavily impacted on by decisions made at local and European level," Looney stated.
"Articles 12, 16 and 47 of our Constitution enforce a voting age of 18 and above for Dáil and Presidential elections and referenda," Looney said. "But there is no such constitutional requirement for local and European elections, such as those happening in 12 months time."
"As someone who is in contact with young people on a daily basis and in a variety of capacities, I am constantly encouraged by their commitment to social justice, equality and democracy. I am lucky to have a number of committed 16 and 17 year old supporters knocking and doors and campaigning with me – but none of them are permitted to have their say this June. They are politically engaged, politically active and politically aware – but not politically enfranchised."
"A great many teenagers are rightly angered by the demonisation of youth by conservative politicians and media outlets. Now's the time for young people to stand up and be counted," stated Looney.ENDS

About the Project

Student Assessment
This week's mystery is difficult.......making it a good game to play at a New Year's Eve party.
I was born in Philadelphia (PA) in 1849.
I was known as the Harvard "Math Wizard" because I earned the first Harvard PhD in mathematics in 1873.
The picture on the right, me as a distinguished professor, was being sold on ebay for $75 in September of 2006.
I was an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Cornell University from 1873 to 1876, and then employed in the same capacity at Harvard in 1876-81, and appointed full professor there in 1881.
I published Elements of Differential Calculus (1879)[sold on e-bay in September for about $6], Elements of Integral Calculus (1881), and the syllabi of the Harvard courses in plane trigonometry, analytical geometry, equations, and methods in analytic geometry.
******* Hall on Harvard's campus is named in my honor.
William Elwood Byerly [1849-1935]

Posted by Slavik under OUG, security, SQL injection
Comments Off on UKOUG 2011
Well, that was fun. I had a great time at UKOUG at Birmingham. Met friends, enjoyed the parties and gave a SQL Injection security presentation. All in all, I think it went well – no demos crashing, etc.
It's pretty much the same presentation I gave at in the hacking exposed series so you can download it here with all the scripts and the demo app.
