Chronicles of Khaldun: Bread and Circuses
The Treasure Map
The Terrible Old Man sold this ancient treasure map to Southie for the paltry sum of 100 gp. It apparently gives four reference points — a tower (now the site of the University for the Study of the Arcane Arts and Sciences), the River of Tears, the location of a Creation Forge used by the empire of Bael Turath, and the shrine dedicated to a loathsome idol.
Evidently, the Creation Forge will allow a user with the appropriate knowledge to create warforged, as were created to fight during the Cackledread War. With enough materials, a large number of skilled warriors can be created.
If the appropriate ritual is used with the idol, it will apparently answer any question.

FXtion Records presents BGR (Bradley Gunn Raver) Sessions – A series of events around the UK starting off in the city of Bristol on Saturday 9th July 2016 at The Moon Club (Lakota).
We can now reveal the four main acts who will be playing on 9th July 2016:
Alexis Raphael (Hot Creations / Madtech / Toolroom)
Alexis Raphael is part of London's new breed of international electronic music stars. He earned his stripes across the pirate radio stations of North and East London during the late 90s and early 00s and went on to hold residencies at such legendary London clubs as The Cross and Turnmills.
Alexis then knuckled down in the studio and got his first release, Spaceship, signed in 2011 to Jamie Jones and Lee Foss' Hot Waves imprint bringing him into the international spotlight.
Since then, he's had numerous releases and remixes on labels including Madtech, Hot Creations, Moda Black, Jackathon Jams, Culprit, Leftroom, Get Physical, Nervous, not forgetting his anthem, 'I know', on Hot Creations, with in excess of 1 million Youtube views. Nominated by DJ Mag for best break-through DJ in 2012 and gaining a residency at Manchester's Warehouse Project that same year, really cemented Alexis' place in UK underground music.
Now with a new slew of new material signed to the likes of Kerri Chandler's MadTech Records, Skream's imprint Of Unsound Mind, and a huge track about to drop on Hot Creations, it's clear 2015 and beyond are going to be stellar for Alexis.
Expect a diverse, meandering spectrum of house and techno and a hypnotic journey across the dance floor.
SEFF (Hot Creations / Madtech / VIVa MUSiC)
In such a short amount of time SEFF has already achieved so much in his musical career, with signings to some of the most respected and sought-after underground labels in the industry he has made a huge impact in the Underground House and Techno scene with his distinct crossover style of raw, underground Deep/Tech House and Techno music with tonnes of attitude, swing, swagger and packed full of energy in both his productions and skilfully constructed DJ sets.
Since being Signed to Steve Lawler's VIVa MUSiC at the back end of 2012, he has gone on to release on many other hugely respected labels as well which has also led him to working with an array of the very top artists and legends of the scene and even remixing solely for no other than Dave Seaman on Great Stuff Recordings and also being signed to Dave's own label 'Selador' with an array of releases.
Lately he's been receiving a massive amount of support with his productions from some of the biggest and best artists in the scene and right across the board. Also reaching high positions in many of the big charts including reaching the Top 13 on Beatport and the like. This is an in-angle in which he has many plans and ideas for the future and already has a major following for his sound.
Although a fairly new name to the underground House and Techno scene, SEFF is by far no newcomer to the underground scene as a whole. From a very early age he has been brought up in the underground scene and now for more than half of his life has been truly dedicated to perfecting his style as an artist under many different alias'. Running numerous successful record labels over the years has made him very involved within the scene gaining countless BBC Radio 1 support and working alongside an array of very big named artists from around the globe who have supported him massively over the years and has been lucky enough to have played right across the world from Japan to Ibiza to Ireland and Scotland on numerous occasions and of course throughout all of the UK.
Mindmaze Music is the brainchild of SEFF as a platform to release his own productions and other already established artists material as well as bringing fresh, new talent to the forefront to showcase their music to the masses, Mindmaze stands for true underground House and Techno music, which is why it is rapidly turning into such a great label and the favourite of many underground music lovers around the world.
SEFF also hosts his own monthly podcast, the 'Mindcast' in which he showcases the very best selection of releases from which he has been playing throughout the month with the occasional classics thrown into the mix for good measure and of course previewing exclusives from Mindmaze Music itself and hosting guest mixes to an array of top artists. With big things in the pipeline, SEFF is certainly an artist to watch out for at the moment and in the words of Dave Seaman "SEFF has a big, bright future ahead of him".
Tommy Vercetti (Definition / Eton Messy / Love Not Money)
Introducing Tom Cox, the 21 year old DJ and music producer from the West Midlands, otherwise known as Tommy Vercetti. Having had the pleasure of playing all around the UK and with regular overseas bookings in Europe, 2015 has been an exciting year for Tommy.
With Radio 1 support, numerous remix requests and tipped as one of Eton Messy's 'Top 5 to watch', it's no wonder Tommy's recent release on Love Not Money Records has gained support from artists including Tensnake, Josh Butler, Claude VonStroke, Route 94 and Shapeshifters.
Growing up, Garage was the prominent sound for Tommy and his music today bears strong influences from that era. Music runs in the family; with his dad being a DJ, Tommy has grown up listening to quality House, Disco & Soul music, and has been DJing and making music since his early teen years. With such strong influences, non-stop bookings and a growing number of releases gaining support from all the right people, Tommy is certainly one to watch out for.
Mhod (Elrow / Defined Music / FXtion)
The Mhod project borns by the collaboration and by the joined forces of two close Italian friends. Formerly known as Relow (Italy), in June 2015, they decided to change their art name and to slightly change their music style and attitude, but obviously still keeping their own unique groove. Their music is already out on labels like Elrow Music, Witty Tunes, Lapsus Music, Defined and Endless Music. Their tech house tune "The Whisper" recently hit the 3rd spot in the tech house chart on Traxsource, and their productions are constantly supported and played out by artists like wAff, Solardo, Stacey Pullen, Ilario Alicante, Ramiro Lopez , Mario Ochoa, DJ Simi, Jey Kurmis and more…
The full line up will be announced soon.
The event will take place at The Moon Club (Lakota) across two rooms on Saturday 9th July from 22:00 – 06:00

How much is enough?
I'm not a Doctor so I'm sure there are better qualified people out there, who have dedicated their lives to understanding the impact the flu virus has on our bodies at a molecular level. I'm also sure that even those scientists would all agree that most people recover and respond to this virus differently.
I've heard many people ask how long they need to allow for proper recovery after illness/injury/racing etc., and the answer that best resonates with me is one that I heard at the SSISA Triathlon session for beginners held a few months ago. That response was to allow yourself enough time – but again, how much time is enough time? That all depends on you, and a number of the following:
- Are you sleeping well?
- Are you eating well?
- When last did you train and how did you train?
- How do you feel?
The last point is the most important, as it all comes down to the individual. I may have had flu and been in bed for 3 days since Monday, but could be out riding over the weekend. Whatever the illness, and whatever the level of training, always listen to your body. If you're feeling ok, it's very likely you're ready to train, and when you train push as hard as you feel is not going to hurt you in the long run. If you still feel under the weather, it's a good idea to keep the heart rate low and if you are going to exercise keep it easy.
The other thing that helps motivate my training is that I'm not just doing it for me, I'm also doing it for Songo.info. I am really looking forward to all the hard work paying off, and the best part is that it's just the start. Getting off the couch is just the first step, but it's the biggest!
Knowing that I am aiming for a personal achievement and that it is bigger than just that, is a great feeling. Knowing that there are also 9 other individual full XTERRA athletes in the team who will be battling the same demons on race day, and another 14 in the relays.
I asked a friend when it gets easier, and his response was that it doesn't because you just push harder!
If you've been following me you'll know that I'm hoping to raise R15,000 in cash through the contributions from my fellow Grabouw XTERRA 2013 team members, and other multi-sporters and companies who would like to make a contribution for Songo.info. So far I have pledges from the team to raise R6,000 in cash and a few others I have approached have also said that they would donate. We're still short so I'm appealing to you to get involved, if not in this cause, find one that resonates with you and commit to it.

text: Recording sound on location is a tricky task – it requires good preparation, attention to details, and focus. What is more, most of the locations we were filming at were sports halls, where there was a lot going on and I had to make sure I have a good balance of ambient sound in the background and a clear recording of our interviews. The final videos will be screened on the big screens in Coventry city centre, which means the sound should be really clear so viewers and passersby can hear what is being talked about, over all the sound pollution of traffic.

Meredith Bragg: 'My Absent Will'
Meredith Bragg: "My Absent Will"
Setting limitations can sometimes inspire creativity, pushing musicians to try new ideas. Meredith Bragg's latest album, Silver Sonya, features intimate, experimental folk constructed with two simple rules in mind: 1. Only acoustic guitar and Meredith's vocals were recorded. 2. There are no restrictions on how the recorded sounds could be manipulated.
With the album's stunning array of tones, it's hard to believe that guitar and vocals were the only things recorded. His songs are filled with minor key hooks. Warped and restructured acoustic guitar seems to mimic synths, horns, and even percussive sounds. Meredith's intimate vocals on "Ballad of an Opportunist" sing over light guitar picking reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel-style folk. On the track "March," droning ambient noise produces a dark, cavernous feel.
Meredith has recorded several works with his band The Terminals. He was inspired to create this solo album after deciding to quit his job and take a long journey around the world. Learning to live with limited possessions and no set itinerary, he wanted to write in a way that forced him to explore music using different methods.

A few months ago, I wrote about selected digitization readings and how we were going to use them to overhaul our digitization workflows. We're now a couple of months into our new digitization workflow, and things are starting to run smoothly, but during the process, we noticed that we wanted a better way to match our digitized files to their description without using semantic filenames or separate metadata sheets.

A Selection of Readings on Digitization
Earlier this year, the Rockefeller Archive started a multi-year plan to re-envision its digitization activities. The goal of this project is to contribute to the RAC's mission of preserving and providing access to our collections as widely as possible by making digitized content findable, usable, and accessible in a timely manner. In order to achieve this goal, we will provide archivists with the tools, experience, and competencies to handle any digitization request that comes to the RAC, whether it is from a researcher, donor, or other staff member. On top of these tools and competencies, we will create mechanisms for prioritizing requests for in-house and outsourced digitization. Continue reading
METRO Report
Last week I attended the annual meeting of the Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO). I felt inspired and excited by a lot of the talks I saw, but one project that stood out to me was the Culture in Transit project.
Using Zotero to Create Collaborative, Share-able, Export-able Bibliographies
Collect references once, export and share infinitely. That's what tools like Endnote and Zotero come down to. In grad school I used Endnote to manage my references and then cite them as needed in Word documents (papers, my dissertation…). The software would automatically create bibliographies from cited material, in virtually any format imaginable (MLA and Chicago are just the beginning). But I never took it a step further to create an online, shareable library. It wasn't until I began work on a Ford Foundation bibliography here at the Archive Center that I saw the benefits of an online reference-storing tool. Thanks to Hillel's suggestion, I began to build one using Zotero, a free program .
Although I'm only about a month into using the software, I thought I'd outline the process for creating online bibliographies in Zotero, while adding some comments about RAC-specific uses and parts I still need to work out. I'm interested in discussing the "why" as much as the "how," so please comment or feel free to chat about this with me, if you think it may be something you could use, too!

Workshop Report: Digitizing A/V Collections – to Outsource or Not to Outsource?
On Wednesday, October 2nd, I attended the workshop "Digitizing Audiovisual Collections – to Outsource or Not to Outsource," hosted by METRO and the Moving Image Archiving and Preservation program at NYU. Three speakers from different institutions (Chris Lacinak, Jonah Volk, and Julie May) came together to speak about their experiences in deciding whether to digitize audiovisual materials in-house, or work with an outside vendor. Each speaker laid out important criteria and considerations that will prove invaluable for anyone planning to start an audiovisual digitization project, as well as those that need guidance when working with vendors. In my opinion, the presentations naturally split into two categories: how to assess whether to outsource an audiovisual project, and the issues and concerns that you must take into account when working with a vendor. I have listed below some of the more salient takeaways from the workshop that any institution should keep in mind before undertaking any audiovisual digitization process.

Artefactual Visit Report
Last week we had a visit from Evelyn, Austin and Justin of Artefactual, who were here to continue working on our Archivematica implementation.
How Much Have We Digitized?
As part of the cost assessment project we recently underwent, I was asked to provide a count of how many items and pages were digitized during each fiscal year that the Special Projects Digitization Program has been in operation.
To do this, I first reviewed all available documentation of which projects have been undertaken, when they were started, how much material was estimated for digitization, and what files were to be produced. I used this to draw up a rough framework to guide my approach to counting specific files within the various structures used to store the many digital surrogates produced. Given the variety of source media, derivatives created, and file hierarchies used, this step was necessary to create meaningful data that could be complied across all of the variations, and to provide a reference point to check the very large numbers I would be coming up with by using the computer to count files.

Earth Policy Institute
Plan B 2.0 Book Byte
For Immediate Release
April 17, 2007
Lester R. Brown
Mobilizing to save civilization means restructuring the economy, restoring the economy's natural support systems, eradicating poverty, and stabilizing population. We have the technologies, economic instruments, and financial resources to do this. The United States has the resources to lead this effort. Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University's Earth Institute sums it up well: "The tragic irony of this moment is that the rich countries are so rich and the poor so poor that a few added tenths of one percent of GNP from the rich ones ramped up over the coming decades could do what was never before possible in human history: ensure that the basic needs of health and education are met for all impoverished children in this world. How many more tragedies will we suffer in this country before we wake up to our capacity to help make the world a safer and more prosperous place not only through military might, but through the gift of life itself?"
It is not possible to put a precise price tag on the changes needed to move our twenty-first century civilization off the overshoot-and-collapse path and onto a path that will sustain economic progress. What we can do, however, is provide some rough estimates of the scale of effort needed.
To fund the needed restructuring of the energy economy, we rely on shifting subsidies from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy. For meeting our social goals, the additional external funding needed to achieve universal primary education in the more than 80 developing countries that require help is conservatively estimated by the World Bank at $12 billion per year. Funding for an adult literacy program based largely on volunteers will take an estimated additional $4 billion annually. Providing for the most basic health care in developing countries is estimated at $33 billion by the World Health Organization. The additional funding needed to provide reproductive health care and family planning services to all women in developing countries is less than $7 billion a year.
Closing the condom gap by providing the additional 9.5 billion condoms needed to control the spread of HIV in the developing world and Eastern Europe requires $2 billion—$285 million for condoms and $1.7 billion for AIDS prevention education and condom distribution. The cost of extending school lunch programs to the 44 poorest countries is $6 billion. An estimated $4 billion per year would cover the cost of assistance to preschool children and pregnant women in these countries. Altogether, the cost of reaching basic social goals comes to $68 billion a year.
A poverty eradication effort that is not accompanied by an earth restoration effort is doomed to fail. Reforesting the earth will cost $6 billion annually. Protecting and restoring rangeland will require $9 billion, restoring fisheries will cost $13 billion, and stabilizing water tables will require $10 billion annually. The most costly activities, protecting biological diversity at $31 billion and conserving soil on cropland at $24 billion, account for over half of the earth restoration annual outlay. All told, these efforts will cost an estimated $93 billion of additional expenditures per year.
Plan B Budget: Additional Annual Expenditures Needed to
Meet Social Goals and to Restore the Earth
Funding Goal
Basic Social Goals
$12 billion Universal primary education
$4 billion Eradication of adult illiteracy
$6 billion School lunch programs for 44 poorest countries

$33 billion Universal basic health care
$2 billion Closing the condom gap

$24 billion Protecting topsoil on cropland
$9 billion Restoring rangelands
$13 billion Restoring fisheries
$31 billion Protecting biological diversity
$10 billion Stabilizing water tables
$93 billion Total
$161 billion GRAND TOTAL
Combining social goals and earth restoration components into a Plan B budget yields an additional annual expenditure of $161 billion, roughly one third of the current U.S. military budget or one sixth of the global military budget.
Unfortunately, the United States continues to focus on building an ever-stronger military, largely ignoring the threats posed by continuing environmental deterioration, poverty, and population growth. Its proposed defense budget for 2006, including $50 billion for the military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, brings the U.S. projected military expenditure to $492 billion. Other North Atlantic Treaty Organization members spend $209 billion a year on the military. Russia spends about $65 billion, and China, $56 billion. U.S. military spending is now roughly equal to that of all other countries combined. As the late Eugene Carroll, Jr., a retired admiral, astutely observed, "For forty-five years of the Cold War we were in an arms race with the Soviet Union. Now it appears we are in an arms race with ourselves."
Comparison of Military Budgets by Country and for the World with Plan B Budget

$40 billion France
$30 billion Germany

$142 billion All other

$161 billion Plan B Budget
Note: The U.S. number is the budget estimate for FY2006 (including $50 billion for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan); Russia and China data are for 2003.
It is decision time. Like earlier civilizations that got into environmental trouble, we can decide to stay with business as usual and watch our modern economy decline and eventually collapse, or we can consciously move onto a new path, one that will sustain economic progress. In this situation, no action is actually a decision to stay on the decline-and-collapse path.
It is hard to find the words to convey the gravity of our situation and the momentous nature of the decision we are about to make. How can we convey the urgency of this moment in history? Will tomorrow be too late? Do enough of us care deeply enough to turn the tide now?
Will someone somewhere one day erect a tombstone for our civilization? If so, how will it read? It cannot say we did not understand. We do understand. It cannot say we did not have the resources. We do have the resources. It can only say we were too slow to respond to the forces undermining our civilization. Time ran out.
No one can argue today that we do not have the resources to eradicate poverty, stabilize population, and protect the earth's natural resource base. We can get rid of hunger, illiteracy, disease, and poverty, and we can restore the earth's soils, forests, and fisheries. Shifting one sixth of the world military budget to the Plan B budget would be more than adequate to move the world onto a path that would sustain progress. We can build a global community where the basic needs of all the earth's people are satisfied—a world that will allow us to think of ourselves as civilized.
This economic restructuring depends on tax restructuring, on getting the market to be ecologically honest. The benchmark of political leadership in all countries will be whether or not leaders succeed in restructuring the tax system as, for example, Germany and Sweden have are doing. This is the key to restructuring the energy economy—both to stabilize climate and to make the transition to the post-petroleum world.
As we look at the environmentally destructive trends that are undermining our future, the world is desperately in need of visible evidence that we can indeed turn things around at the global level. Fortunately, the steps to reverse destructive trends or to initiate constructive new trends are often mutually reinforcing or win-win solutions. For example, efficiency gains that reduce oil use also reduce carbon emissions and air pollution. Steps to eradicate poverty simultaneously help eradicate hunger and stabilize population. Reforestation fixes carbon, increases aquifer recharge, and reduces soil erosion. Once we get enough trends headed in the right direction, they will often reinforce each other.
It is easy to spend hundreds of billions in response to terrorist threats, but the reality is that the resources needed to disrupt a modern economy are small, and a U.S. Department of Homeland Security, however heavily funded, provides only minimal protection from suicidal terrorists. The challenge is not to provide a high-tech military response to terrorism, but to build a global society that is environmentally sustainable and equitable—one that restores hope for everyone. Such an effort would more effectively undermine the support for terrorism than any increase in military expenditures, than any new weapons systems, however advanced.

"Letters to Jenny" by Piers Anthony
Piers Anthony – STORY REPRINT
About the Book
In February 1989, science fiction writer Piers Anthony,
author of the Xanth series, received a moving letter. It came from a woman
whose daughter, Jenny, was in a coma as a result of severe injuries caused by
a drunk driver. She asked Anthony to write to Jenny, an avid fan of his, in
the hope that a letter from him would evoke some response. Her request
resulted in a series of warm, supportive, and humorous letters written weekly
from Anthony to Jenny. These were read to the patient by her mother.

The Story Behind: Letters to Jenny by Piers Anthony
This man is not only an exceptional Author, but he is an exceptional person! My son is a HUGE fan and he knows all there is to know about Mr. Anthony. This is just one among many of his inspirational stories, as evident by the primary character featured in it. *MBI Comment*
Anthony wrote a letter to Jenny, proposing that he create a character patterned after her, in his next Xanth book, Isle of View. The character is Jenny Elf, an elf of the Elfquest variety (another of her favorite series), which has a pet cat named Sammy (Jenny Gildwarg was a lover of animals). Jenny Elf has become a regular character in the Xanth series.
Anthony received a letter from Jenny's mother, in which she describes reading previous letter to Jenny. On asking her about the elf character, Jenny smiled.
Jenny made much progress, communicating (at first) by blinking her eyes. (As of this writing), Jenny still uses a wheelchair.
Author Piers Anthony did just as he said he would do with his next book. Isle of View is the thirteenth book of the Xanth series by Piers Anthony and Jenny is featured in it. Here is what it's about: "It is up to Jenny, a girl from the world of Two Moons, to save him. Dolph finally has to decide who to marry: Electra or Naga Nada." *MBI Comment*

We discovered a new Korean restaurant that features unlimited grill and shabu-shabu recently. The place is just beside the famous Mak Chang in Malate, that is always packed with customers. We were supposed to eat in Mak Chang, but due to the long waiting list, we decided to try this instead. (It is actually owned by the same people behind Mak Chang)
The place was very spacious but there were not much diners on a Sunday night as compared to the full-house Mak Chang.
Here, you can enjoy unlimited Grill and Shabu-Shabu.
(As per last visit, they dropped the shabu-shabu option)
Buffet rate is at P399/person during dinner, while it is at P349 during lunch.
The price includes unlimited serving of Beef Belly..
Pork Belly..
and more Beef Belly.. You can actually request for leaner meat slices..
Then enjoy your unlimited grilling time..
with your favorite Lettuce or Perilla leaves.. The grill pan is quite big so you can cook several meat at the same time. I'm starting to love these minty leaves for my wrap over the usual lettuce.
Aside from the grill selections, you may also feast on the unlimited buffet spread of Korean appetizers and hot dishes.
Beansprouts (Kongnamul) and Kimchi
Sweet Potato (Goguma Mat-tang) and Glazed Baby Potatoes (Al Gamja Jorim)
Vegetable Skewers and Mung Bean Jelly (Nokdumuk)
Vietnam Veggie Rolls and Korean Veggies
and more vegetables..
Zucchini Omelette, Korean Style Meatball and Chicken Lollipop
Fried Dumpling (Mandu) and Shellfish
Chicken Gangjeong and Stir Fried Vegetables
Japchae and Spinach (Sigeumchi Namul)
Fried Rice, Stir Fried Spicy Pork, Beef Bulgogi
Seaweed Soup and Pumpkin Porridge
Create your own Bibimbap..
or make your own Shabu-Shabu.. (No longer offered as of last visit)
What's great about the buffet spread is that they take out small batches per dish to ensure that everything is served fresh and warm. Service was excellent too since only few tables were occupied. Overall, I think the price we paid was reasonable enough given the variety of choices and selections. Plus, I love that the pork and beef belly didn't have much fat trimmings on it.

KEMROC DMW 220 cutter wheel demolishes underground parking garagePublished 15/9, 2017 at 12:40
The "Sedelhöfe" job site is located in a new retail and residential development project opposite the main railway station in the German city of Ulm. Before construction could start the old
infrastructure had to be cleared which included the demolition of a four-story underground parking garage. Demolition specialists Prünstner used a KEMROC DMW 220 cutter wheel to remove the thick, occasionally heavily re-enforced, concrete structure in record time and without any noise.
Based in Ichenhausen near Ulm, Prünstner is a small demolition and core drilling company whose success is built on a reputation for completing jobs requiring unconventional methods or equipment. The main contractor, Züblin Spezialtiefbau GmbH, had subcontracted Prünstner to work with them on a project to construct a turnkey foundation for a new residential and retail area called "Sedelhöfe", located opposite the main railway station in Ulm. Around June 2017 Prünstner received the contract to demolish and remove a four-story parking garage in a built-up area close to Ulm city center. Instead of using conventional breakers and shearers for this job, the 40 ton excavator was fitted with a cutter wheel to break the concrete structure into pieces.
As to be expected, the underground garage was made up of extremely large concrete segments. Both the excavator operator and the Managing Director, Karl Prünstner senior were very skeptical when it came to the use of the cutter wheel but encouraged by job site reports in magazines, they decided to give it a try. They rented the cutter wheel for a trial period and had the attachment delivered to site. The interior parking decks had already been removed using an excavator with conventional breaker and shear attachments. All that was remaining was the empty shell consisting of 18m high, heavily re-enforced, thick walls, an overlapping bored pile wall located behind the concrete walls and the re-enforced concrete base. In addition to the concrete structures, the contract also included the removal of 180,000 m3 of soil and overburden. This had to be completed within a very tight schedule with all the constraints associated with projects in city center environments. Noise was a particular problem and the project had to be completed with the minimum amount of noise possible.
Most of the people on site were surprised to see the wheel cutting through 30mm diameter rebar. When the cutter wheel attachment was used for the first time, the excavator operator cut a 13 m long, 100 cm deep slot through the garage wall into the bored pile wall behind it. At this point, the site personnel were convinced that the cutter wheel could do the job. Slots were then cut from top to bottom in the heavily re-enforced internal concrete wall, dividing it into approximately 4m wide sections. A 100 ton excavator was then used to topple the sections into the empty center of old garage where they were broken down into transportable pieces using breakers and shearers. The next stage was to use the breakers to remove the section of the piled walls that were not re-enforced and then to remove the last sections of the wall containing rebar. Finally, the 60 to 80 cm thick re-enforced concrete base was cut into 4 x 4 m sections with a cutting speed of 2 m per minute. These sections were raised onto rubble and reduced in size using breakers.
Quicker and quieter, ideal for use in the city
The rebar contained in the cut sections of concrete wall were in lengths that could be easily transported in containers. This was an additional benefit from using the cutter wheel that saved a considerable amount of time and money. The concrete sections were passed through a mobile crusher set to a particle size of 0/45 allowing the rebar to be separated easily from the concrete which could then be sold as road building material without any additional handling.
Powerful and silent, strong and efficient – these were the words used by Karl Prünstner senior to describe working with the KEMROC cutter wheel. He said, "We achieved more in 10 minutes with one 40 ton excavator and the cutter wheel than we did in one hour using two excavators fitted with breakers. The consumable cost was around Euro 20 per meter cut which was comparable to the cost of consumables with the breakers. However, the cutter wheel was significantly quieter than the breakers: 107 dB(A) was recorded on site with breakers compared to 97.1 dB(A) from the cutter wheel which was quieter than the noise from the excavator!".
The engineers at Prünstner have already included the use of the cutter wheel in their repertoire of demolition methods. The Managing Director considers it as a fast, quiet tool for infrastructure renovation projects in urban areas and it can also be used in a wide variety of demolition applications where surrounding structures need to be protected.

Age 14 and older
Riley feels feminine some days, masculine others, but never feels safe outwardly expressing this shifting identity so dresses in gender-neutral clothing. As a result, Riley experiences dysphoria almost daily. On the first day at a new high school, Riley is called it before even getting in the door. But Riley gradually becomes friends with Bec and Solo. At the suggestion of a therapist, whom Riley has been seeing since a suicide attempt the year before, Riley has also started writing. Blogging under the pseudonym Alix, Riley is a source of online support for other teens. Rileys parents know nothing about the blog or Rileys shifting gender identity. Its Bec who takes Riley to a transgender support group, one Bec attends because her sister, Gabi, who committed suicide, was transgender. Its there Riley learns the term gender fluid, and feels relief even without being ready to say this is who I am. A horrifying sexual assault eventually fuels Rileys determination to speak out. Rileys voice is compelling and Riley, Bec, and Solo are vivid characters with believable strengths and quirks and uncertainties in a novel that also succeeds because the emotional arc feels authentic, and ultimately cathartic.

Today I had to write a script to run in a Lotus Notes database that generates an auto reply email when a form is submitted. The email is sent to the email address specified in the "Email" field on the form. This script is relatively simple, written in LotusScript and works a treat. One tricky thing that I had to work out was to be able to send the email from a specific email address, as setting "From" field did not work. When the email hit the Domino server its value was set Anonymous. This causes problems as allot of spam filters reject the email, including Google's, which was what I was originally testing with. I have commented out the "ReplyTo" as even without this set, when you click reply in your Inbox the email still replies to email@example.com. If someone out there knows why this is I would be interested.

Where does she get those wonderful clothes? (Picture: Rex/Preserve) Call us shallow but other than Renee Zellweger's new face, all we're interested in at the moment is Blake Lively's incredible pregnancy wardrobe. And would you know it, most of it's from her very own lifestyle site, Preserve. The bad news is that most of it's sold out (because old Blakey's been buying it obvs) and it'll cost you a small fortune. Good news is that you can work out what she's going to be wearing next (and buy it if you've got the spends) before she does. Great for fashion […] Read more →

Her Aunt and Uncle organised a craft table and the children made lots of crowns, shields, and also decorated fabric butterflies to take home. They loved it! The Uncle, who is an Art Teacher, was the story teller and the children sat on rugs enthralled by his version of the Princess and the Pea.
The birthday girl's mummy and daddy organised a delicious tea, and a fantastic castle cake (my eldest daughter being a cake maker supreme!), providing a groaning table of delights. The grown ups didn't miss out; lots of Pimms and nibbles for them too!
And then it rained! Indoors for popcorn and ice cream, the cake and a game of pass the parcel.
The birthday princess.
It was one of the best parties ever. Here's a peek at the thank you cards we made.
And Thank you for tuning in to my blog!

The Minnesota State women's basketball team cruised past Missouri Southern State, 89-64 on Saturday afternoon at the Taylor Center.
The Mavericks sprinted out on a 7-0 run to open the game after a Claire Ziegler free throw. Missouri Southern State chipped the advantage down to two, 9-7, with 5:15 to play in the opening quarter. Minnesota State responded by building their lead up to 10, 24-14, after Monica Muth was able to find Taylor Klug behind the three point arc to beat the buzzer as time expired in the quarter.
The Mavericks took control of the game in the second quarter expanding their lead to 12, 34-22, after a Taylor Drost jumper. The Lions then cut the deficit down to nine, 39-30, at the 3:25 mark. The Mavericks closed the half with a strong 10-2 run in which the Mavericks connected on six free throws. Minnesota State led at the half, 49-34.
Both teams traded points to open the second half as Missouri Southern State drew within 11, 51-40, with 4:54 to play in the quarter. The Mavericks then swelled their lead up to 18, 60-42, after Klug found Ashley Reed for a lay up at the 2:22 mark. Minnesota State headed into the fourth quarter with a 63-47 advantage.
In the final quarter of play, Minnesota State did not let off the gas growing their advantage to 21, 73-52, after a Rachel Shumski lay up with 6:20 remaining. Minnesota State closed the game continuing to find offense and building their largest lead of the game, 89-62, after a Megan Peschong lay up. The Mavericks went on to win the contest, 89-64.
Minnesota State held the edge in rebounds (39-32), assists (21-8), and steals (10-6). Additionally, the Mavericks went 73.3% from the free throw line (22-30).
Ziegler led the Mavericks posting her second straight double-double with a team-high 12 rebounds and added 15 points. Minnesota State had three more players reach double digits in points: Senior Sammie Delzotto (20), Senior Britney Scherber (14) and Klug (10).
With the win, Minnesota State moves to 2-0 (0-0 NSIC) on the season. The Mavericks return to action when they travel to Black Hills State on Nov. 25. Tip-off is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

A quick video of a new ZX Spectrum homebrew game from Russia. Entered in the 2015 Chaos Constructions party, it's a remake of a classic Electronika BK0010 game, and it definitely has an 80's 'arcade adventure' feel to it.
If you're wondering what the original looked like, well here it is in all it's Soviet era 8-bit glory.

What people are saying about Dave Mcpherson
Rated 5 out of 5 by RussL81 from Great gig, loved every minute! I went to this gig with a few friends and it was brilliant. Dave played a mixture of songs from his solo work, several from his new album Living a Life Without the F which I love. It was an intimate gig and Dave sounded great. There was plenty of good banter between songs and Dave took some requests towards the end doing acoustic versions of a couple of classic inme songs. I've been waiting for Dave to play in the North East again for a while and it was well worth the wait. A great night and highly recommended.

A blog about whatever we think about. Survival, preparedness, motherhood, food, life, love, and everything in between.
Tuesday, September 27, 2011
Under attack? Maybe a little but that's okay!
Do you have something that makes all the crap fade away? What is it?
My greatest wish for all of my blog friends is that they have that one thing. It can be any thing. I am lucky that mine comes in the arms of a good strong man but a mate isn't a requirement. I wish you all joy. So much joy. Passion and health and happiness. So often as we walk this path of preparation and safety through our beautiful weapons we are immersed in sludge and negativity. I am working to make a huge effort to avoid that sludge. It was depressing me. Extended family stress was pulling me down. Jerks were demeaning me. Not going to let it build like it had been. Time to find the good. Find your good and tell me about it!

Good post lil sister, I am with you all the way. I do think we get too bogged down with stuff sometimes. I never give jerks the satisfaction of upsetting me.ReplyDelete
The best revenge is living life well and enjoying it.
You asked, in so many words, what gives me peace when the weight of the world crushes my soul....my family (like you) the arts of survivalism and shooting, and books. Of course, good friends of like mind make a heck of a difference too.ReplyDelete
Personally, I find crack to be efficacious in calming my anxieties.ReplyDelete
No, not really but there have been days when I might have tried it out of desperation if I had any!
Actually, I think a mate is entirely necessary to survival. Emotionally, we all need someone we can trust come what may, and whom we know values us.
Like we used to say in the Marines, don't let the bastards get you down.
Same here. My husband, my family, sometimes my reputation as a stand-up kind of gal. And my own perspective on stuff that sucks:ReplyDelete
Thanks Duke. I am realizing that naysayers hate when their junk doesn't knock you down. Funny stuff.ReplyDelete
Stephen Good friends are so hard to find. That's why I love this community to much. I feel like the much loved daughter/little sister and I have never had that so it feels good!
Hermit, I never would have pegged you as grabbing the crack! You go!....... Wait..... I mean..... Crack is bad!!! LOL I sure think a mate is pretty essential for me. At least the one I have is. Maybe if he were a jerk I would feel differently.
Suz, great post!!! I think to often we think "What do we need to do to fend off the negative crap?" that we forget to remember there are some things we shouldn't do. Giving all the junk to much power is such a downer! You and I are even more sister souls than I thought huh?
Wow, what a beautiful post. That's very close to the way I feel, my husband is my refuge, my BFF, my compass. And like you I've been having some jerks beating down on me and lots of strife from extended family but through it all my hubby is my port. Thank you for writing this, because it makes me happy to know there are others like me out there.ReplyDelete
I am glad my post touched you! I think we are both pretty lucky! I would be lost without my guy! :)ReplyDelete
We love comments! We are happy to answer questions, join in debate and conversation, or just say hi. All we ask is for respect. Respect us and others. Keep it civil. Obviously we aren't afraid of cussing but we don't like anyone degraded or invalidated.
We also know we make mistakes. Feel free to call us out. You can't improve things that need it if you aren't aware of it.
If you have an opinion share it but know if it is going to cause hurt to someone we care about we will not approve it.
Most of all have fun!!

Lobelia spicata
Spiked Lobelia
Flower Front
Highway #10 and East Saltcoats Grid
Note the stamen tube visible through a split in the upper side of the corolla tube.
The pedicels of this species twist during flowering, rotating the flower 180 degrees. On this site, I am using the words "top and "bottom" to refer to the gravity top and gravity bottom of the flower as it appears in the ground. I am using "upper" and "lower" in a similar fashion when referring to the flower. Thus the two, smaller, narrower corolla lobes point upward when the flower is in the ground.
Note that some taxonomists place the Lobelia genus in the Campanulaceae family.

Why Would't You Follow #2
Sermon preached at State College Free Methodist Church
Sunday Morning, January 26, 1997
By Pastor C. Marshall
Series - Following Christ.
The fear of following does not always arise from rebellion; more often, it's a matter of trust. How do you unconditionally trust an authority figure when your deepest scars are memories of being abused by your parent? How do you cultivate a concern for the direction your life is going when you don't believe there is a future worth caring about?
The reality this generation has inherited is the that someone has shrunk their world to the significance of the immediate. And since there is really nothing currently to hope in or to trust, the question of what to do with rest of life is immaterial.
There is a troubling paradox for those who are born into this generation. Last year for Christmas someone gave a sweatshirt. It depicted a face with the chin resting on the figure's hand and under the expressionless look was the word "Whatever."
a That word seems to embody the feelings of this generation. Happily, life is more than "whatever" when it is released to the dynamic direction that Christ can give.
But without Christ as leader, "whatever" is the honest appraisal of life. It is not just this generation that has trouble trusting. How many of us have been betrayed by relationships into which we put our trust, or hurt by people whom we have been willing to follow?
Politics, education, and even the church at large have all fostered a sense of distrust that has left us with little to trust in except ourselves and those who think and live the way we do. No doubt most of us like the sound of trusting Christ as leader of our lives. We know we need a leader and believe He could be the one.
But we are stuck in places where we can't see Him clearly enough; along the way, someone stepped between us and blocked Christ from view. That someone may have been a parent who neglected or abused us yet was regarded by everyone else as a respectable Christian.
That someone may have been a trusted spiritual leader who took advantage of us, or a Christian colleague who cheated or mistreated us or friend who claims to be a follower but bitterly refuses to forgive another.
These failed trust relationships are like an eclipse of the sun.
ó When the moon, which ordinarily reflects the light of the sun, gets in the way of the sun, everything turns gray, distorted, and cold. We know the sun is there, but we can't sense its reality or feel its beneficial power.
ó It's like a bad seat at a ball game where our view is obstructed, we can hear the sounds, feel some of the excitement, watch others who see clearly and are absorbed in the game, but experience only a helpless sense of detachment.
We can't trust Christ while we're in the shadows. Christ calls us out of the shadows to see Him as He is. Are you willing to step out of the darkness and into the brilliance of His warmth and care. Are you willing to step out of the shadow of abuse?
Are you tired of being disappointed by others who show you a distorted view of Christ. How much can you trust a person? I think the answer to that question is, you can trust a person only to the degree that you know that person. By reason of the more you know God, the easier it is to trust Him.
1. Develop A Relationship.
In order to trust someone, you must have three things in that relationship:
1. The person you trust must tell you the truth.
2. That person must be fair and always do what is right and just.
3. That person must be reliable and dependable.
Now, Psalm 33:4 says that those three characteristics are actually attributes of God: For all God's words are right, and everything he does is worthy of our trust.
33:4 All God's words are right and true—they can be trusted. The Bible is reliable because, unlike people, God does not lie, forget, change his words, or leave his promises unfulfilled. We can trust the Bible because it contains the words of a holy, trustworthy, and unchangeable God.
2. Dedicate All Of Our Resources. Luke 5:11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.
One of the more significant signs of someone following Christ can be seen when He turns selfishness into generosity. Turning water into wine is child's play when compared to changing the hearts of human beings with regard to money and possessions.
There a vast difference between Religions People and Kingdom People when it comes to giving. Let me show you the difference.
ó Religious People … give to create an impression with others and leverage with God. Jesus deliberately exposed the inferior motivation behind the giving of the Pharisees and religious authorities of His day.
Matthew 6:1-4 "Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
ó Kingdom People… give because they are no longer building their private kingdoms. Part of their worship involves continually transferring ownership of all that they have to their Master. The more you see that it really is God's kingdom you are helping build in hearts, and not man's kingdom, the more your values change.
Jesus applauds the practice of "selling all that you have" in order to possess the pearl of great price.
Matthew 13:45-46 "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a pearl merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. 46He discovered a real bargain--a pearl of great value--and sold everything he owned to purchase it!
It makes no sense to hoard and accumulate for time what you can give away and keep for eternity. When the kingdom is the focus of a believer's value system, the hold of wealth and possessions radically diminishes. Jesus it this way:
Luke 12:32-34 "So don't be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom. 33Sell what you have and give to those in need. This will fatten your purses in heaven! And the purses of heaven have no rips or holes in them. Your treasures there will never disappear; no thief can steal them; no moth can destroy them. 34Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be.
The early church "had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need" (Acts 2:44-45). "No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had… There were no needy persons among them" (Acts 4:32,34).
This is supernatural behavior. It takes "much grace" for God to pry our fingers from their grip on the material substance upon which we base our independent self-sufficiency.
ó Remember Zacchaeus, the skinflint? He was a chief tax-collector and was wealthy. And he wanted to see who Jesus was. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore - fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today. And he came down at once and welcome Him gladly.
He didn't have to give a alter call. He didn't sing the "Just as I am" or "I Surrender All"
ó What was the evidence the Zacchaeus had repented and placed his life under new management? In his case it was a new generosity, a new trust in God to meet his needs.
He gave half of his possessions to the poor immediately. He committed himself to pay back four times the amount he had cheated taxpayers.
The spontaneous expression of this man's surrender was his willingness to stop squeezing others for money and trust fully in the Father. Generosity flowed from his surrendered heart. Kingdom followers of Jesus do not calculate the cost.
Their lives and possessions are laid at the feet of their King.
ó The question that most challenges me personally is: What does my giving tell me about my follwership of Jesus? And is my generosity the kind of kingdom miracle that my Lord can use to attract new followers to Himself?
3. Delight In The Rewards. Matthew 19:27 Then Peter said to him, "We left everything to follow you. What will we get out of it?"
As believers, our true reward is God's presence and power through the Holy Spirit. Later, in eternity, we will be rewarded for our faith and service. If material rewards in this life came to us for every faithful deed, we would be tempted to boast about our achievements and act out of wrong motivations.
19:29 Jesus assured the disciples that anyone who gives up something valuable for his sake will be repaid many times over in this life, although not necessarily in the same form. For example, a person may be rejected by his or her family for accepting Christ, but he or she will gain the larger family of believers.
There is a special and certain reward for those who are willing to suffer for and with Christ. To the believers at Smyrna, Christ said,
Rev. 2:10
Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Throughout the book of Revelation, martyrs and those who have suffered greatly are given special notice and stature. John writes,
Rev. 7:13-17
Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?" 14I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. 16Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. 17For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
As a boy I often sang these words from a well-known hymn:
It will be worth it all
When we see Jesus,
Life's trials will seem so small
When we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face
All sorrows will erase,
So bravely run the race
Till we Christ.
Let us remind ourselves that the Great Commission was never qualified by conditions calling for advance only if funds were plentiful and no hardships or self-denial involved.
On the contrary, we are told to expect tribulation and even persecution, but with it victory in Christ.
