Public-private model needed to build houses for the poorFebruary 11th, 2011 - 9:56 pm ICT by IANS
Kolkata, Feb 11 (IANS) With growing urbanisation in India, there is a need for public-private partnerships to provide affordable housing to the poor, an official said Friday."Along with the public authorities, private players need to come together towards providing affordable housing with basic amenities to the slum dwellers," union Urban Development Secretary Navin Kumar said Friday at 'Sustainable Citycon 2011′ - a conference on opportunities and challenges of urbanisation in India.
Between 1991 and 2001, the urban population grew by 2.7 percent annually, with the process of urbanisation in the country marked by increased concentration in comparatively larger cities, he said.
"In 2001, 68.7 percent of the total urban population was living in class I cities (cities with population over 100,000), while 26.7 percent or roughly 80.7 million poor people live in urban areas. From 1993-94 to 2004-05, the urban poor population has increased by 4.4 millions," he said, adding the "inevitable consequence of this population explosion is proliferation of slums".
To tackle the problem of slums, Navin Kumar suggested that the existing slums be renovated to enable them to avail the same level of amenities as the rest of the cities they were in.
He also stressed the need for redressing the system that lies behind the creation of slums.
Navin Kumar also pitched for reservation of 22 percent to 25 percent of developed land in all new housing colonies for the economically weaker sections and for people falling in the middle and lower income groups.
On the subject of town and city planning, he said: "Urban and town planning should be performed under a master plan. In almost two-thirds of the cities in India, the master plan has not been implemented for reasons like a weak database, financial constraints, or lack of co-ordination between various implementing agencies."
The National Urban Information System, with 158 centres across the country, has been created for facilitating effective formulation of a master plan, Navin Kumar said.
He also emphasised the need for community participation in the urban planning process. "Presently there is no provision for the public to have a say in formulation of layout plans. The public should be involved in the planning process. In countries like Singapore and Malaysia, town planning is a people's product," he said.

Vinyl Wall Art – The only limited scope of these projects is the size of the room and the amount of vinyl for your wall available. Wall art is a quick way to create decorative accents or master focal points in any space. It lends itself to many styles, and there are several reliable methods to install it. The soul is nourished, and decorative vinyl is art, it is a fun way to arrange living spaces. The art of vinyl wall comes in many forms, from thematic kits pre-packaged by freehand.
Identify the space find a surface of a house, apartment or office that needs an energy boost. For a child's bedroom, stars, trucks, and fish are reasonably simple to assemble from vinyl wall art foils. The long corridors lend a lot to make different styles of vinyl art. Find a Style and Design, sets of multiple pieces. There are different designs and styles to choose from. Many examples feature swirls of multiple pieces. Geometric shapes.
12 Photos Gallery of: Vinyl Wall Art Personalize Design
Another option for the inexperienced artist or for a more experienced person is using an area of the house remodeling it with large geometric shapes, through a large area. If the vinyl wall artloses its charm or you already have time and you want to remove it, pull them slowly some of the pieces detach them. If the vinyl does not come off easily, try using a hair dryer over medium heat to soften the vinyl.

The Error Management Initiative just sent out its first newsletter. Please find it below, and contact us for subscribing in the future.
There might be a missing question in the debate about Facebook's misdeeds with personal data. As in all corporate scandals, much of the discussion revolves around the question of "who's done it?" Looming in the background is the fate of the natural guilty party: the CEO.
Many of Facebook's woes may be analyzed as organizational errors.
One person or a group of persons in a company makes a decision, introduces a strategy, sustains a culture, in good faith, as part of their role. Then at some point, the decision, the strategy, the culture become erroneous. They diverge, they deviate from what should be done and can result in harm, perhaps disaster for the entire organization, its stakeholders and the world at large.
Thus the missing question is: How could executives at Facebook (and in all organizations) better manage the errors?
Never has the question been so critical to both executives and management researchers. Handling the error signals early on, intercepting the errors so as to thwart ruinous consequences, and in the long run improve organizational reliability becomes as pressing as safety is in aviation, the oil and gas and nuclear industries, for example.
The Error Management Initiative, born from our research at the Baillet Latour Chair on Error Management at Solvay Brussels School of Economics & Management, is focusing on this type of questions. This short newsletter* aims to engage you into the discussion. Do errors ring a bell? How do you see them developing under your eyes and 'under your watch'? How are you managing errors in your own organization? Please let us know!
* See (un)subscription options at the bottom of this email.
We like to share our emerging knowledge and experience in researching organizational errors and error management. Among the resources you may want to use is a growing collection of teaching cases (including one on the Dieselgate at Volkswagen) with detailed teaching notes, most of them in various installments to illustrate in detail often long history of errors surfacing.
Finished cases you can find in the pages on TheCaseCentre website (search term: error management). Others are in progress. We also share a curriculum of a full elective course on Managing Errors in Organizations (ask us), probably a world premiere that, after a first pilot last year, attracted already more than 110 Masters students this year (see videos).
Please check our new website! Easy to remember URL: erromanagement.org. We kindly invite you to provide us feedback and new ideas, and report the errors you may notice!

Control of the thermal emission spectra of emitters will result in improved energy utilization efficiency in a broad range of fields, including lighting, energy harvesting, and sensing. In particular, it is challenging to realize a highly selective thermal emitter in the near-infrared–to–visible range, in which unwanted thermal emission spectral components at longer wavelengths are significantly suppressed, whereas strong emission in the near-infrared–to–visible range is retained. To achieve this, we propose an emitter based on interband transitions in a nanostructured intrinsic semiconductor. The electron thermal fluctuations are first limited to the higher-frequency side of the spectrum, above the semiconductor bandgap, and are then enhanced by the photonic resonance of the structure. Theoretical calculations indicate that optimized intrinsic Si rod-array emitters with a rod radius of 105 nm can convert 59% of the input power into emission of wavelengths shorter than 1100 nm at 1400 K. It is also theoretically indicated that emitters with a rod radius of 190 nm can convert 84% of the input power into emission of <1800-nm wavelength at 1400 K. Experimentally, we fabricated a Si rod-array emitter that exhibited a high peak emissivity of 0.77 at a wavelength of 790 nm and a very low background emissivity of <0.02 to 0.05 at 1100 to 7000 nm, under operation at 1273 K. Use of a nanostructured intrinsic semiconductor that can withstand high temperatures is promising for the development of highly efficient thermal emitters operating in the near-infrared–to–visible range.

Scripting with GoQat
From version 0.9.6b onwards, GoQat is able to execute arbitrary scripts that can interact with GoQat's task list. The scripts can be written in the language of your choice, to do anything that is permissible with a script. Since GoQat can modify its behaviour depending on the results of the scripts, the scripting capability makes GoQat extremely powerful and flexible.
Scripts are called from GoQat's task list, so let's see how to do that first.
Calling a script from the task list
The following is an example task list called DemoTasks.txt that shows how to call a script from GoQat. GoQat uses the script to control the camera's CCD temperature for a series of exposures. DemoTasks.txt is installed in the GoQat installation tree in the data folder (by default, this will be /usr/local/GoQat/data).
# This is an example task list that executes the DemoScript.pl
# script. Load this task list into GoQat and start the execution
# of the task list.
# Set some initial parameters...
# Parameter 0 is the amount by which the CCD chip temperature will be
# reduced after each exposure.
# Parameter 9 is the initial chip temperature.
# Parameter 1 is a control variable for the 'While' loop. Set it to 1
# initially to make sure the loop is executed.
SetParam 0 5
SetParam 9 15
SetParam 1 1
# Execute the 'While' loop as long as parameter 1 is non-zero.
While %1
# Make an exposure one hundred pixels square, at a chip temperature set
# by parameter 9.
Expose TARGET - 1 1 1 100 100 1 1 %9
# Execute the external script. This sets a new value for the chip
# temperature in parameter 9 by subtracting the value in parameter 0,
# and returns parameter 1 as zero if the new temperature is less than
Exec /usr/local/GoQat/data/DemoScript.pl
What does the task list do?
- The first section intialises parameter 0 to '5', parameter 9 to '15' and parameter 1 to '1'. GoQat has ten parameters (called %0 to %9) that can take any value. GoQat passes these parameters to any script that it calls, and the script can return values for these parameters to GoQat. We'll see how they get used shortly.
- After setting the parameter values, the task list starts a 'While' loop. This will repeatedly execute all the tasks between the 'While' and 'EndWhile' statements, unless parameter 1 (%1) equals zero. We've just set parameter 1 to '1', so the 'While' loop will be executed.
- The next item in the list is an 'Expose' task. This instructs GoQat to make an exposure with the CCD camera. The filter setting is '-', so this works for a camera with or without a filter wheel. The area of the chip that is read is in the bottom left corner with coordinates (1,100), (1,100) and using horizontal and vertical binning of 1 pixel (i.e. no binning). Most importantly for us, the chip temperature is set to the value in parameter 9. One of the initial 'SetParam' tasks set parameter 9 to a value of 15, so the camera will cool the chip to 15C and then make the exposure.
- Now comes the 'Exec' task. This executes an external script synchronously; in other words, GoQat waits for the script to finish and reads any results from it before continuing. There is also an 'ExecAsync' option that calls a script asynchronously; in that case, GoQat continues immediately with the next task without waiting or reading any results from the script. (The 'ExecAsync' option can be useful for queuing the latest acquired CCD image into a data reduction process). In our example, the DemoScript.pl script subtracts the value of parameter 0 (which we intialised to 5) from the current CCD temperature, and returns the value in parameter 9. If parameter 9 is less than -5C, the script returns a value of 0 for parameter 1. Otherwise, GoQat continues to use the existing value of 1 for parameter 1. Note that if you have installed GoQat in a non-standard location, the path to the script will be different from the one in the example above. (The path is configured automatically when you install GoQat).
- The last item is the 'EndWhile' task. This causes GoQat to go back to the start of the 'While' loop and re-test the value of parameter 1. If it is still 1, the loop is repeated, making an exposure at the new CCD temperature. Otherwise GoQat skips to the task after the 'EndWhile' task. Since there isn't one, GoQat stops task execution. So when exposures have been made at chip temperatures of 15C, 10C, 5C, 0C and -5C, task execution will halt.
Now that we've seen how to call an external script, let's see what such a script looks like.
An example script
We'll have a look at the example script a small chunk at a time. You can find DemoScript.pl in /usr/local/GoQat/data, unless you have installed GoQat in a non-standard location. This is a Perl script, and here's the first part:
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
# An example Perl script to read values from GoQat, and pass back some
# parameters.
# Keep the following section in your scripts. This section obtains
# values from GoQat and assigns them to named variables. (Of course,
# you can change these variable names if you wish).
my $a = 0;
my $sync = $ARGV[$a++];
my $results_file = $ARGV[$a++];
my $done_file = $ARGV[$a++];
my $num_task_params = $ARGV[$a++];
my @task_params;
for (my $i = 0; $i < $num_task_params; $i++) {
push (@task_params, $ARGV[$a++]);
my $Expose_image_file = $ARGV[$a++];
my $Expose_exposure_type = $ARGV[$a++];
my $Expose_filter = $ARGV[$a++];
my $Expose_seconds = $ARGV[$a++];
my $Expose_H1 = $ARGV[$a++];
my $Expose_V1 = $ARGV[$a++];
my $Expose_H2 = $ARGV[$a++];
my $Expose_V2 = $ARGV[$a++];
my $Expose_Hbin = $ARGV[$a++];
my $Expose_Vbin = $ARGV[$a++];
my $Expose_degC = $ARGV[$a++];
my $Coords_RA = $ARGV[$a++];
my $Coords_Dec = $ARGV[$a++];
This first part receives all the values that GoQat passes to the script and assigns them to variables with convenient names. You should ensure that this part is at the beginning of all your scripts. Of course if you are using a different language from Perl, the variable assignment syntax will be slightly different. The variables are as follows:
- $sync is 1 if the script is called synchronously, 0 otherwise.
- If running synchronously, any results to be passed back to GoQat should be written to $results_file.
- When the script has done executing, it should create a file called $done_file.
- $num_task_params is the number of task parameters (%0...%9). These are assigned to the elements of the array @task_params.
- $Expose_image_file is the name of the most recently saved CCD image file. The other '$Expose' items are the corresponding exposure parameters.
- $Coords_RA and $Coords_Dec contain the current pointing position of the telescope.
Now that we've got all these data items from GoQat, we can do something useful with them. Here's the next bit of the script:
# Execute your own commands below. These can be anything that you can
# do in a Perl script.
# Here's an example command (subtract the value of parameter 0 from the
# current CCD temperature and assign the value to a new variable):
my $value = $Expose_degC - $task_params[0];
This is the part of the script where we do data processing. In this simple example, the value in task parameter 0 (%0) is subtracted from the current CCD chip temperature and assigned to the variable '$value'. (Of course if we are making the effort to write a script, we would probably want to do much more than this in practice).
Finally, we want to pass some parameters back to GoQat and tell GoQat that the script has finished. Here's how we do that:
# If the script is being run synchronously, you may pass the values of
# the task parameters back to GoQat. Do that below.
if ($sync) {
# Here is an example of passing a parameter back to GoQat.
open (RESULTS, '>', $results_file) or die "Can't open $results_file";
# The variable '$value' defined above is passed back as parameter 9.
# Note the line must be terminated by the new-line symbol '\n'.
print (RESULTS "%9 $value\n");
# If the new chip temperature '$value' is less than -5C, then exit the
# 'While' loop in the task list. Do this by passing back a value
# of '0' for parameter 1. (Otherwise, GoQat continues to use the
# existing value).
if ($value < -5) {print (RESULTS "%1 0\n");}
# Write a comment that will be displayed by GoQat in the log window when
# the script has finished. Note the hash '#' at the beginning of the
# line and the new-line symbol '\n' at the end.
print (RESULTS "#The current chip temperature is $Expose_degC\n");
print (RESULTS "#A value of $task_params[0] has been subtracted from this\n");
print (RESULTS "#and returned in parameter %9\n");
close (RESULTS);
# Finally, create the file that tells GoQat the script has finished.
open (DONE, '>', $done_file) or die "Can't open $done_file";
close (DONE);
exit 0;
The 'if ($sync)' code should be in all your scripts. It will be executed if the script is running synchronously, but not if it is running asynchronously. Here we want to pass back the new CCD temperature as parameter 9 (%9). To do that, we open the $results_file file, and write a line that appears like this (for the case where $value = 5, for example):
%9 5.000
If the new CCD temperature is less than -5C, we want to stop execution of the task list by returning a value of 0 for parameter 1, so we write:
%1 0
We can return some comments to be displayed by GoQat by prefacing lines with a hash '#':
#The current chip temperature is 10.0000
Finally, we tell GoQat that the script has finished by creating a file called $done_file. This code should be at the end of the 'if ($sync)' block in all your scripts. If you omit it and run the script synchronously, GoQat will wait forever.
You can see how it all works for yourself by selecting the Tasks tab in GoQat and clicking 'Edit tasks...'. Click 'Load tasks from file...' and open /usr/local/GoQat/data/DemoTasks.txt (assuming you have installed GoQat in the standard location). Then connect your camera and click 'Start' on the Tasks tab to begin execution of the task list. You may want to select 'CCD temperatures' from the Windows menu to see the temperature plot as the task list and script change the chip temperature and make each exposure.
If you prefer to write your scripts as shell scripts, there is a corresponding shell-script version in the GoQat data folder called DemoScript.sh, which you can use instead if you wish. Do note that this requires the 'bc' utility to do floating point maths, so make sure you have that installed first.
If you want to see the output from your own scripts for testing or debugging purposes, start GoQat from a terminal window, and any warnings or errors from the scripts will appear there.

HiFiMAN is a leading audio brand that makes high-class headphones. It started in New York in 2007 and has since been making headphones that have broken all kinds of audio records. Today, the brand has its presence the world-over.
"HiFiMAN has done a terrific job of producing a very competitive headphone in this category. It provides a solid alternative, broadening the potential appeal of planar magnetic headphones in the category."
"It however is a headphone that scores very well on everything and most of all always stays musical. It's an absolute joy to listen to and I'm pretty sure it sounds great on a whole lot of amplifiers besides the ones I tested."
"The see-through clarity and lively dynamics were remarkably effortless. Which is to say, music played over the HE1000 sounded less like listening over headphones, and more like the real thing."

2017 seemed like Groundhog Day for Kronosaur Productions. We worked on a major release of Transcendence but didn't quite finish. We continued to move forward with Part II without releasing it. And we made tiny progress on Anacreon. All in all, not too different from 2016.
And yet, I'm excited by our progress on Transcendence, and I feel 2017 laid the ground work for the future of the game and the company. As Bill Murray learned, there are no short-cuts to success. In this annual report I want to talk about the past year and look ahead to the next.
We didn't release any new products in 2017, which understandably led to decreased sales. Between Steam and the Multiverse, the game grossed around $9,000 in 2017, which is 10% down from 2016. This is actually higher than projections, and implies that Transcendence is still reaching new players.
In 2018 I hope to release Part II, which should bring in more revenue and give us a chance to re-ignite the marketing push.
Anacreon stayed on the back-burner in 2017, but a group of players led by Watch TV Do Nothing convinced me to spend a couple of weeks fixing critical bugs. Every time I spend time on Anacreon I get excited all over again. The game is full of potential and it deserves more attention.
Alas, we don't have enough resources to focus on two major games. Once Transcendence is generating sufficient revenue we'll be able to expand our efforts, but until then Anacreon will stay on the back-burner.
Nevertheless, I will spend a couple of weeks in 2018 on Anacreon. There are still plenty of bugs to fix, and dozens of features from the original game left to implement. Progress will be slow, of course, but I still love working on the game.
We released 1.7 in 2017 and are planning to release 1.8 in 2018. That makes me think about our version numbers. Does a major.minor version number make sense in a world of continuous releases? Maybe we should have called it Transcendence 2017 or Transcendence 17. We're hurtling towards 2.0 (due in 2020?), which implies a major improvement, but is likely to be just another incremental update over 1.9. What would be a better versioning scheme? Let me know in the forums.
After releasing 1.7 in early 2017, I turned my attention to 1.8. Though much of my effort has been on adding core engine support for Part II features, I also spent some time polishing the core game. In particular, I'm excited about these features in 1.8:
The 1.8 schedule is synchronized with Part II. Each new version of Part II will come with a corresponding version of the engine. I expect to release one or two more alphas of 1.8+Part II in 2018. 1.8 Beta 1 will be synchronized with the first feature-complete version of Part II—available hopefully before mid-year.
After that we'll work on fixing bugs and balancing the game before a full release.
I had hoped to release a 1.0 version of Part II in 2017, but as always my ambition was bigger than the allotted time. Still, I made a lot of progress last year. All the key sovereigns are designed and mostly implemented, the galactic topology is complete, and item progression now goes up to tier VI (graviton/singularity).
There are lots of missing pieces, of course, but skeleton is in place and I just need to flesh out the details. In 2018 I will work on the remaining armor and devices, and on the mission arcs (both sovereign-specific and overall mythology).
Part II ended up being much harder than I thought, mostly because I underestimated the amount of new content that I'd have to create. But I'm very happy with how its turning out and I can't wait to finish it.
Below is a comparison of the spritesheets for Alpha 1 vs. Alpha 4 showing the amount of progress in 2017:
The development of Part II has spanned three major releases: 1.6, 1.7, and 1.8. Once we release Part II we'll be able to concentrate on other major features. I'm happy that even now, almost 15 years after the first public release of the game, I've still got a giant list of ideas to add. No doubt readers will be able to come up with such a list too.
It's too early to talk about exactly what we'd do after Part II, but there are a couple of broad directions that we could pursue:
I hope to start talking about some of these ideas in 2018.
I'm proud of and grateful for the Transcendence community. We went through some ups and downs in 2017, but we've entered 2018 stronger than ever.
I'm particularly happy that several players, including NMS, giantcabbage, heliogenesis, and Archcannon contributed source code to the game in 2017. Their contributions have added new API functions, quality of life improvements, and modernization of the mission code. You can see a partial list of their contributions here: https://ministry.kronosaur.com/program.hexm?id=1&status=closed&tag=83.
In 2018 I hope to enlist players for other projects. AssumedPseudonym and Ttech have volunteered to publish the Twitch sessions on YouTube, and Shrike and others have worked hard to moderate the various discussion channels.
Perhaps it's my half-Asian upbringing, but I've always found it hard to accept help from others. I realize now that was a mistake, and I'm thankful to the Transcendence community for getting me past it.
I can't wait to see what 2018 brings!
Matteson Claus is our creative developer, helping with planning and marketing ideas.
Music Director Michael Tangent is composing and recording new tracks for The Vault of the Galaxy.
Thanks to Archcannon, giantcabbage, heliogenesis and NMS for their code contributions.
Thanks to everyone contributing bugs and suggestions to the Ministry of Records. I specially thank AssumedPseudonym, erwdg, JohnBWatson, PM, Relanat, and The Shrike.

For the first time since this all began, I am feeling more like my normal self. At least my energy level seems to be what is once was. Given how far behind I managed to get at work, this has been a real blessing. For the last few days I have some minor aches, something I would have ignored in past years. But, I've learned to be anxious about every little thing… wondering if it's the cancer rearing it's viscous head. Knowing anxiety is bad for me, I try to manage it better. I see Doctor B on Wednesday and will get the results of my last CT scan. I know generally that there has been improvement and the tumor is smaller. I have a complete bone scan scheduled for Tuesday. Dr B says it is routine. It sounds like an easy test at least – and no IV!

A Richmond man remained at the McHenry County Jail on Friday evening after pleading guilty to driving under the influence during a crash that injured a man and woman.
Nathaniel F. Johnson, 23, of the 3800 block of West Mill Road, was sentenced Friday to two years of probation, 28 days in jail and 100 hours of public service in connection with the 2016 hit-and-run.
Johnson accepted a deal from the McHenry County State's Attorney's Office and pleaded guilty to aggravated DUI – a felony charge typically punishable by as many as three years in prison.
In exchange for the guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to dismiss additional charges, including failure to report an accident.
The crash happened Oct. 3, 2016, when Johnson and Leonard Steffen each were driving north on Route 31 near Ringwood Road in Ringwood, court documents show.
The crash injured both Steffen and his wife, June Steffen, who have each since died from separate health complications, family said in court Friday.
After the crash, Johnson drove off without reporting the situation to police, charging documents show.
A McHenry County grand jury indicted him on felony charges Aug. 10, 2017, and he was arrested six days later, according to public records.
Two of the victims' family members read impact statements in court Friday and told Johnson they hope he learned from the situation and understands how much their family has suffered.

Cannock Chase Council awarded the contract for waste collection to Biffa Municipal Ltd in November last year following a long procurement process, which resulted in significant financial savings.
Very few residents will notice a difference to the service provided, however a small minority may have their collection days changed later in the year as a result of the new service provider optimising collection routes. Residents are asked to bear with us as their normal collection times may change as the new service embeds itself.
Residents will notice new refuse vehicles, which have been packed with safety features to make waste collections safer for both members of the public and operatives. This includes 360 degree CCTV cameras, forward and rear mounted automatic breaking radars and cycle safety devices.
Vehicle cabs will be fitted with the latest in refuse collection technology including in-cab screens to assist the driver and crews with identifying properties with special collection requirements and will provide the back office with collection round progress, as well as other features.
Councillor Alan Dudson, Environment Portfolio Leader said "This new contract has marked a real leap forward in terms of efficiency and technology for the Council with its partner Biffa.
Residents are advised that normal times of bin collections may be different than what they are used to, so don't assume that your bin hasn't been collected. Residents are asked to ensure that the bins out by 7am on their collection day.
I would also like to remind people that all food waste should now be disposed of in the green bin. Disposing of waste in the wrong bin could result in the load being rejected and sent to landfill, which could cost up to £1,500.
Last week was a particularly bad week for contaminated loads; the District saw four loads being rejected in one week. We are finding that some people are hiding waste in black refuse bags in the blue bin. So I remind residents that all waste in the blue bin should be loose and not in refuse bags. Any blue bins containing black refuse bags will not be collected."
Roger Edwards, managing director of Biffa's Municipal division, said "the expanded service was a 'high point' in Biffa's long-standing relationship with Cannock Chase Council and its residents."
He added: "There are will be some service differences, but Biffa's crews will always be ready to help residents to understand and make the required changes. As ever, Biffa is committed to providing a cost-effective, reliable and efficient service."
The new service allows collection crews to work between 7am and 6pm Monday to Friday and provide some of their services on a Saturday, including some bulky waste collections. They will also continue to provide a collection service over bank holidays with the exception on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
If residents are unsure of what goes into which bin, a new search facility is now available on our website at www.cannockchasedc.gov.uk/whichbin, to assist with ensuring the right item is disposed of correctly.
Residents are reminded to recycle what they can. Remember, Recycling Isn't Rubbish.

Larry Joe Bird Biography:
Following his retirement in 1992, Bird became a successful head coach and front-office executive together with the Indiana Pacers.
Bird attended Springs Valley High School in French Lick and was a vital part of the school's basketball team, becoming its all time top scorer by the time he graduated in 1974.
Bird's basketball art earned him an athletic scholarship to Indiana University, where he was to play for legendary coach Bob Knight. But, the sharpshooting ahead felt some trepidation regarding how big the Hoosier campus and pulled away from school, registering at Indiana State the following year.
Following his junior year, Bird was chosen with the sixth overall pick in the NBA draft from the Boston Celtics. He made a decision to come back to Indiana State for an additional year, and led the Sycamores tothe NCAA tournament match from the Michigan State Spartans, a team headed by another future NBA star, Ervin "Magic" Johnson. It was the very first time the two star players would confront each other in a head to head conflict, also it started a camaraderie and competition that will span both players' careers. Johnson as well as the Spartans prevailed, but Larry Bird left Indiana State that year using the USBWA College Player of the Year Award, the Naismith Award and the Wooden Award. During the time, he was likewise the fifth-best scorer in NCAA history.
Signing with the Celtics for a then-record $650,000 a year, Larry Bird vindicated his wages right out of the gate, averaging 21.3 points per match and claiming Rookie of the Year honours for the 197980 NBA season. Bird additionally led the Celtics in rallying, with a mean of 10.4 per match, as well as in steals and minutes played.
Prior to Bird's second year, the Celtics got centre Robert Parrish from the Golden State Warriors and drafted Kevin McHale. Those three players would form a renowned frontline, probably the best in NBA history. That season, the Celtics posted a 61-21 record and defeated the Houston Rockets to take the very first NBA title of Bird's career.
The Celtics and Lakers controlled,with one team or the other, or both, appearing in every NBA tournament through the decade.
Bird was already understood after a couple of years in the league for consistent, clutch scoring and tenacious defense, which looked specially uncanny as he wasn't particularly quick on his feet; rather, Bird acquired a reputation for not only reacting to his competitors' moves, but expecting how they might unfold in advance. Hisconcentration and composure were unrivaled at the same time, and he established himself as among the very unshakable and motivated players in the NBA.
The Celtics reached the playoffs in each one of Larry Bird's 13 seasons, although he missed most of the 1988-89 season because of injury, and added titles in1984 and 1986. For three straight years, from 1984 to 1986, Bird was named the NBA's MVP, as well as in 1990, he reach a milestone by reaching 20,000 livelihood points. But, by then his once persistent assault on the court was impeded with a bad back.
Summer time of 1992 marked the very first time the Usa sent professional athletes to the Olympic Games. Bird and his teammates easily won the Olympic gold medal for America, and just a couple of weeks after, Bird announced his retirement as a person. He concluded his career with sterling averages of 24.6 points and 10 rebounds per game.
Larry Bird started another phase of his life as a front-office special helper for the Celtics, a post he held for five years. In 1997, Bird taken the head coach position together with the Indiana Pacers, a move that returned him to his home state.
Bird returned to the Pacers in 2003 as president of basketball operations. By the end of the 2011-12 season, he was named NBA Executive of the Year, making him the only man to be named the NBA's MVP, Trainer of the Year and Executive of the Entire Year. Although he declared his departure around that point, he recovered his place as team president in summer time of 2013.
Larry Bird is universally regarded as among the best basketball players ever. Underscoring his place in the sport 's history, he was named among the NBA's Top 50 players in 1996, andinducted to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1998.

Project from Crafting with Lolly: "Kewl Cork Wreath" by Lolly Chops What you need 12″ straw wreath, Glue gun, Glue sticks (lots – I used 6 of the 10″ long – high temp sticks), Wine Corks (I used 180 for this project), Vacuum (cause you are gonna need to clean up the straw), Twine or floral wire.
- Let's get started! First.. remove the plastic from your wreath (not the string that's keeping everything together ok!!!).Tie your twine or floral wire so that it wraps around the wreath but still has room for about 2 – 3 fingers to fit underneath
- You are going to want to cover the entire front of the wreath in corks laying side by side. The best way to do this is with a long swath of hot glue down one side of the cork.
- Line the corks up all nice and neat in a little row. You are not going to want to go around the back side of the wreath – remember – it's going to be hanging on a wall so you want the backside to be flat.
- You will get to a stubborn part where they do not line up like you want them to. So you just have to tuck them in where you can… still trying as hard as you can to stay flat for this first layer.
- BUT.. you probably won't be able to and that's totally ok! What I am trying to demonstrate here is that you actually can go a little wild and crazy. Your goal with the first layer is to cover up as much of the straw as possible. Any way you can.
- .and here I am gluing the corks directly to the string I tied. You do not need to do this… it's just something that happens as you are hot gluing along. Make sure you leave some slack twine in the back.
- Once you get the first layer of corks on, the long strip of glue is no longer going to cut the mustard.
- See how the first layer is all coming together!
- You want to glue the corks at random angles so that basically means you need some random (a.k.a…"creative") glue placement. See what I mean. You want these little fellas staggered all over the place. Here we are with a large dollop in the center so……we can balance that fella on top of one of the corks from the first layer.
- I am just randomly placing the corks now. I kinda got a little pattern going on the second layer by accident but I was able to break up the pattern with just a few randomly placed corks. And viola…a finished wreath!
- Let's get started! First.. remove the plastic from your wreath (not the string that's keeping everything together ok!!!).Tie your twine or floral wire so that it wraps around the wreath but still has room for about 2 – 3 fingers to fit underneath
That's pretty much all there is to this! The more random the second layer is the better the wreath looks (there is no third layer)! You hang it from the little twine or wire you placed around the base at the very beginning (so don't forget to do that step). What I usually do before I get started is pick out all my special corks (the ones with the pretty pictures and designs on them) and save them for the second layer. If I have a lot of a particular kind of one cork – I usually use those as my base corks. When you are placing that second layer – pay attention to where the pretty pictures and designs are on those special corks so you can make those face outward. On this wreath I found a picture of some birds and also had another cork that said "pheasant" on it. I made sure I placed those close together. I hope you enjoyed this little project . Lolly

House of Dog Training
At House of Dog Training, we know that adding a new puppy to your family is a happy yet challenging time. Our Puppy Package is designed for the owner who wants a well- behaved dog as a Certified Canine Good Citizen or a Pet Dog Ambassador. We offer unlimited email and phone support for all of the questions you may have along the way.
We HIGHLY recommend that owners do NOT try to find and train their own Service Dogs. There is a reason why Service Dogs are very expensive and it is because it takes a lot of skill, patience, and follow-through to train a dog to a level to be a true Service Dog.
If you are determined to train your own Service Dog we can still help you with the Obedience side of it, but we want to be very upfront that there are NO guarantees that even after you commit to this one year membership, you will have a trained Service Dog. After the obedience portion (or maybe during the tail end of it), we refer out to Janice Mann with K9Contentment for the Public Access Testing and to point you in the right direction for Task training.
This package is therefore more for clients who are planning to train their puppies to be an Emotional Support (ESA) or Therapy Dog. There is still no guarantee that your dog will be well suited for this job. Again, there is a reason why dogs that are bred for service are expensive. That is not to say that a rescue or your own dog can never become certified, but we want to be upfront about it. In addition We offer unlimited email and phone support for all of the questions you may have along the way. The membership lasts a year, so be ready to train. When you join you receive free Puppy-K classes! You pay $300 down when you join and $50/month for 11 months. To enroll service dogs and Emotional Support dogs you will need a doctor's recommendation.
This Package is for owners who want to pass the Canine Good Citizen (CGC), the AKC Community Canine - the Advanced Canine Good Citizen (CGCA Title, and the AKC Urban Canine Good Citizen (CGCU) Title, or who want to make their dog a certified Pet Dog Ambassador through the PPG. This package is also for owners who would like to just have a good, well behaved dog. This package is for dogs 7 months or older.
Total Value of the package $690, Your cost $660, You SAVE $30 (cost of a harness)

This unique first of a kind sold out at the Mint in 2 days
But you still have the chance to add one to your collection because of the quick thinking at CPM...
This coin was first presented to us at the start of the year and we knew from that first glimpse that it would sell out, so we placed an order for it straight away.
It was the star of the show at the recent American Numismatic Association World Money Fair in Chicago, with collectors lining up at the Royal Canadian Mint's stand just to see it.
Sadly for them, they couldn't buy one because it was issued on 4 August and we received the sold-out notice on 6 August, fortunately our allocation was secure. Now you have the chance to add one to your collection.
And here's why you should:
1. It's a Royal Canadian Mint first
This fine silver coin is uniquely shaped as a beautiful maple leaf, yet remains legal tender. It's a truly impressive achievement in minting.
2. It's 5 years in the making
The Mint has been working on this project for over 5 years. The dies used for this coin required an exacting minting process, including the use of specialised equipment to shape the dies.
3. It sold out in 2 days
When a coin sells out so quickly at the Mint, you should always look to add one to your collection if you have the chance.
There will be a lot of disappointed collectors right now who were unable to secure one. How many of these coins will be appearing on auction sites or changing hands at coin fairs far above their retail price?
Despite selling out, it's available for just £150.
Judging by the speed of the sell-out at the Mint, these won't last long, so please don't delay your order.
Your coin will be supplied in a presentation case almost as attractive and unusual as the coin itself. You will receive a special red maple leaf shaped wooden case completely free of charge.
Maximum quantity: 3
Numismatic pieces should be owned primarily for collector interest.CPM does not offer them as an investment and makes no guarantees in terms of future value.

Infinity Mods Insider Mini
BigMalaka posted a topic in General DiscussionHi, Is anyone here familiar with this mod? I came across a new in box, Infinity Insider Mini, which I just purchased that runs a DNA60 off of a single 18650 (maximum configuration). The design is very reminiscent of an old Svoemesto double barrel styled mod I purchased almost a decade ago now, called the Semovar (with hybrid connector). It was based on a Nivel chip, which only allows a maximum of 15w. I had originally planned on trying to change out the board in the Svoemesto, but I honestly wanted to preserve it as a collector's item. These things was pretty epic back in the day lol. Then, I came across the Infinity. My daily vape is a Lost Vape Triade, MK RTA with dual 316SS coils, which I just run in Watt Boost mode at 65w. I've tried TC on every iteration of DNA based devices over the years on every coil material and was never a fan. Especially with the older DNA chips, TC mode just never lived up to the hype for me. I also never had issues with my SS coils in wattage mode. So my concern with the DNA60 chip in the Insider Mini is that its max output will be 5w short of my desired power level. I'd like to know if it's possible to change over to a DNA75 or better, but don't have the mod yet. Is it possible to fit anything larger inside and also change out the chip without damaging the mod? Thanks, Nick
dna60 DNA 60 - LED light
firstname.lastname@example.com posted a topic in Modders' ForumHello fellow Modders, I'm no expert in electronics and I'm hoping someone knows how we can wire properly an LED on the DNA 60 board for lighting it up when firing the mod. Connecting it along with a resistor directly on the output to the atomizer , It Works but obviously depending on wattage selection the brightness varies and also it changes the atomizer resistance value that the board is reading. (small soldering point are not really a problem as I've already replaces the tiny LED diode of the charging board with one of my preference and it works well) If you know any other potential spots on the board with stable current when firing it and we could wire a 3V LED , I would greatly appreciate your help.

dry hits or weak puffs in TC with new DNA60 esquare
dnk posted a topic in General DiscussionI got my esquare yesterday and I've been messing with it pretty much ever since. Background: I have an Alien 220 and a goon 24mm i run as my normal set up. Got a merlin mini RTA with the esquare and have been playing with them both. The alien can be finnicky with the TC, but it is pretty good about not giving me a dry hit. Materials: I'm using 24x36 single core clapton SS 316L with single coils in both my Goon and Merlin. In the Goon i tried first it with 5 wrap spaced 3.5mm twisted coil. Now i am running a single coil 6 wrap, 3.5mm spaced coil, ohming around .33-.36. On the Merlin i started with a simple 6 wrap, 3mm contact coil. Now i have a 3mm 6 wrap spaced coil in it. Both times it ohmed around .30-.34. Settings: I ran stock 316 and got whispy airy hits. Uploaded the steam engine 316L profile. Still whispy. Made a profile (we will call 316L2) with the TCR set instead, tried .000895 - .00095 with better results around .00095. 20-30W pre power, 1-.25s preheat, 5-9 punch. 375-475F. 42-60w. The situation: Now, when i first coiled and wicked the Merlin and turned the esquare on, right out of the gate i got a decent hit. Then i got a dry hit. I tried again and got another. Broke it down, the Merlin's wick was wet at the bottom but dry at the top. Simple, too much wick. Rewicked, tried again and that is when the whispy hits started. They were at least DECENT, but my alien definitely does better. Try my goon, same problem. Fiddle with temp and watts, nothing. So i pop open escribe and start reading about it. Create a 316L csv on steam engine, but nothing. Once i tried the 316L2 profile with the set TCR, i cranked up the temp to 475F and it was working better. Essentially it would kick into temp protection at like 25W max, but it went up to about 35W at 475F. Keep in mind i had prepower and power set 52-60W, but it never hit those wattages. Start fresh today. Put the second set of spaced coils into each atty. Same problem. Take off the attys after a weak hit, replace it and it asks if its a new atty (which it only does sometimes on my merlin but always on my goon). New .33 (.35 on the goon) old .31, same on both attys basically. So i take the new, freshly fired coil resistance. Now i get a hit similar to my alien, but i notice now that the TC mode isn't throttling the wattage at all and not hitting TP. On my goon with saturated coils, this is fine. But with the merlin it is giving me CONSTANT dry hits. It is firing like it's in watt mode but it's in TC mode still. I rewicked the merlin again, thinking maybe i messed up wicking again. Use even less wick and cut shorter than i had been. Still the same problem. Dry hit city. It is just awful. I am at a complete loss as to what i am doing wrong. If i wanted a VW mod that had janky TC, i woulda just gotten another alien. And there is NO WAY my alien should be doing better than my DNA60 with the exact same settings in each. But, sure enough, it is. I took the dry hitting merlin straight off the DNA and put it on my alien, and i can hit it for like 5s with no dry hit. TC hits just fine on the alien. Any help you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated. If you need more info, let me know! Cheers and happy vaping! Edit: Just tried to dry hit my goon and i got it to where it would dry hit, but i didnt push it over the edge to see. I've had too many today and its making me fill icky. But i noticed the temp doesnt even get near the limit of 400F. it barely breaks 300F. It over throttles watts when its cold resistance and then doesnt throttle watts at all warm resistance. Something isn't right.

DNA60 SS316L issues in TC mode
Cubbest posted a topic in General DiscussionMy Esquare DNA60 is having problems doing TC with SS316L. I put in a new coil, it won't change its resistances from the last one, pop out batteries, still won't, take off atty and hit fire, still won't change. Ohms aren't locked at all and even if I move it to device diagnostics it STILL shows the last coil under live ohms for no reason. To make it worse on a 0.65ohm 26gSS316L single coil it just will continually nuke the coil with 50w-60w when the temp is set to 450f and just decimate any coil I put into it. No matter how I build, if I lock ohms or not, its just isn't doing TC correct by any measure. I've flashed the device to 3 times now and the problem is still there. Does anyone have any solutions. I bought this mod for its great TC but so far $20 mod's chip is much more reliable.

Epetite DNA 60 factory firmware
KYG posted a topic in EScribe, Software and FirmwareNeed some help guys. I was recently given a Epetite DNA 60 mod and I've noticed the resistance is somewhat lower than the coil should be running. I've inserted a 7 wrap 2.5mm 28g kanthal coil on my kayfun 3 mini and have only gotten 1.07 ohms. On my DNA200 it is reading 1.31 ohms. Provari showing 1.2ohms. Can anyone here be kind enough to share the factory firmware so I am able to get it to work properly? I don't have a copper/ brass 510 pin to calibrate the device. Let me know if I'm missing something. Thanks.

Original 'Delfi" Table by Carlo Scarpa for Simon Gavina, 1968, Cristallo Marble
Italy, 1968
Original Delfi table in very good condition. Manufactured by Gavina, Italy. Designed by Carlo Scarpa and Marcel Breuer. This particular table is made in a rare Bianco Cristallino marble with silver chips (See close up image) As far as we know this is the only Delfi table made in this marble. The table is composed of two monolithic bases and a rectangular 1.56 inch thick top, all in marble. The top is fixed to the bases with nylon pins. The Delfi table is a redesign of a rationalist table model from the 1930s, designed by Marcel Breuer for Simon Gavina, on which Carlo Scarpa made some variations in 1968. In this same year, Breuer gave it to Dino Gavina for his new home in Via Garibaldi in Bologna; Gavina commissioned to Carlo Scarpa some rework on the original piece. The result is this beautiful table.

The Vikings played their starters for the first series of Thursday's game while the Cowboys rested all but six of theirs. The highlight of the evening for the Cowboys happened early in the first quarter when WR Jerheme Urban returned a Viking punt 95 yards for a TD giving Dallas an early 7-0 lead, but it went downhill for the Cowboys and Urban from there. He fumbled a short pass from Matt Moore deep in their own territory on their next offensive possession which led to Minnesota tying the game with a TD of their own. It was also only the first of 5 turnovers the Cowboys would have, most in the first half and most leading to Minnesota points.
QB Matt Moore had a good night, although he fumbled the ball twice, once on a snap and the second time during a sack. But he should still be high on the list to make it as the third-string QB, if Dallas does keep three QB's. He also was 14 of 19 for 94-yards and a touchdown, the best numbers of the evening for any QB. Richard Bartel also got some playing time in the fourth quarter, and although he showed a strong arm, he fumbled once and had one pick late in the game.
Although not a great performance by the Cowboys as a whole, Coach Phillips did get to witness some players step up and try to make it over the bubble. TE Tony Curtis had a good night with 5 catches for 44 yards and a TD, and WR's Jehreme Urban and Miles Austin had some nice receptions to make it interesting as to who will be the number six receiver on the team. OL Leonard Davis, Marc Colombo and Flozell Adams all got some extra playing time with Davis being named offensive player of the game.
As for the defense, it didn't appear that any of the prospective back-up CB's stood out in an attempt to fill in for the injured Terence Newman. Aaron Glenn did make a good play early in the game when he jumped an out pattern and knocked the ball away from the receiver, but other than that, nothing of particular merit. Phillips only stated that he felt they performed better than in the previous game against the Texans. LB/DE Anthony Spencer had another busy game, playing well into the third quarter and his counterpart Marcus Spears made a few appearances late in the game as well.
K Nick Folk had limited opportunities to impress anyone, with only 2 extra-points and a couple of kickoffs, none of which resulted in touchbacks.
"It was a game that we really needed to evaluate our personnel, especially some of our backup positions, because they may have to start for us or at least during the season have to fill in," Coach Phillips said about the performance. "And some guys did a good job."
Brad Johnson's return to Minnesota was somewhat satisfactory as he got the start and completed 5 of 7 for 44 yards. There were many purple No. 14 jerseys spotted in the stands in honor of the nine years Johnson had spent in Minnesota. He was relieved of duty early in the second quarter by Moore.
Another area of interest was on kick returns, where several players were given chances. As mentioned, Urban's return was by far the best of them as Isaiah Stanback, Miles Austin, Tyson Thompson, Quincy Butler and Nate Jones also got to return some kicks.
Now the Cowboys have until Saturday when they return to practice to decide on their 53-man roster, and after last night, I wouldn't be too surprised by any cuts they should make.

The Lupus Foundation of America is on a mission to end the brutal impact of lupus through research, patient care and advocacy. They called on us to develop a strategy for their 2018 end-of-year (EOY) campaign and manage paid media channels to meet their ambitious revenue goals.
We began our partnership with a thorough audit of the Foundation's past EOY fundraising activities. This audit brought to light important lessons and learnings that could be applied to the 2018 EOY giving season. This was also an opportunity for us to review past campaign creative and redefine their approach to messaging tactics. Based on what we learned, we moved them more towards emotional storytelling and urgency-driven messaging that helped make the case for how funding can fight this misunderstood disease.
Guided by insights from our audit, we built a fully coordinated EOY strategy—including concept messaging, a robust email schedule and paid media tactics. On the email side, we recommended a more aggressive approach to scheduling and urgency.
By implementing an always-on SEM strategy starting on Giving Tuesday and extending it through 12/31, the Foundation constantly showed for queries around its own brand, as well as other non-branded searches for lupus-related giving. Staying at the top of search results on relevant searches helped the Foundation see nearly 9x return on revenue from its search investment.
By targeting the Foundation's email audiences on Facebook, we got in front of donors who may not have otherwise opened emails or made a gift—with tailored messaging that encouraged them to give now. We also invested in key moments like Giving Tuesday and the last 3 days of the year to create urgency and generate a return on ad spending (ROAS) of 169%.

Kampiranje v deželi jagod - Camping in the land of strawberries - Panchgani, India
Notranjost sotora - pravi luksuz
Kraj je že sam po sebi precej zanimiv – leži na 1200 mnm s prijetno klimo in ob vročih dnevih v nižinah Panchgani (Pet hribov) privabi mnogo petičnih turistov iz širne Indije in seveda sveta.
Start je možen takoj izpred sotora
Znan je po jagodah in vsemogočih izdelkih iz jagod – marmelade, jami, sirupi, med...
Asortima mnogih slastnih sadnih in zelenjavnih zvarkov
Pri srebanju jagodnega 'milkshake-a'so mi družbo delali simpatični fantje
Padalska sezona traja od decembra do marca, ko šotore zasedajo padalci, preostale mesece pa so po nekaj dni v kampu naseljeni otroci z namenom občutiti in spoznavati naravo.

Če bi se videla stopala potnice, bi videli, da so le-ta brez čevljev, rutka in cepica = čeladi, vse skupaj pa = Indija - sicer pa so fantje vajeni startov in pristankov v zelo močnih vetrovnih razmerah
Proučujejo astrologijo, opazujejo ptice, se podajo na trekinge, spoznavajo rastline... tri do štiri ure vožnje potrebuješ do obale, morja, svežih rib, plavanja z delfini,...
Magnetna privlačnost lune?
Mnogo jadralnih padalcev zimo preživi na zahodni obali v okolici Goe, s krajšim jadranjem na dinamiki...nato pa se počasi selijo proti severu in večina v marcu, aprilu lovi prve spomladanske termične 'izstrelke' v raju jadralnega padalstva v Biru, 70 km vzhodno od Daramsale.

2 UP expeditions in India and Summit XC or the South Indian Sky
The last few days in the South of India were incredible. As soon as we arrived with Sasa from Delhi we had one of the best days of the season, they said. We were flying at 3500 meters while the guys from Himalaya Odyssey 2010 were waiting for better weather conditions 2000 kilometers north of us in Bir, in the Indian Himalaya. It was a big surprise because at the time of our arrival we had strong west wind and was not possible to think about long XC flights. I managed somehow to fly 30 kilometers the first day.
Panchgani, this beautiful place, is on the plateau amongst 1400m or higher peaks left over from the past which seems to me once formed even higher plateau. The west take off in Panchgani is at 1280 meters and Tapa, the Eastern take off is maybe 150m lower. Tapa is a perfect take off for easterly wind.
Many said we had missed the best part of the season, in mid January to mid February. But we were lucky. We got four days of "bonus". The first day I made a flight across the valley and the lake. At the beginning we were stuck at an 1800m inversion and were flushed in strong sink gliding through the down-wash surrounding each climb. Next we climbed to 2000 m and again the same story until it was not-going-up to 2300m and we could start XC flying.
I went to the East and came back along the North-South facing ridge to the take-off. A few days before we couldn't get across this first ridge a few kilometers in front because the west wind was too strong. So this day the dreams become reality. I could go West to the end of the valley, with a thought in my mind to be aware of the strong West wind that might come in afternoon; then I'd have a rodeo! There was no lift, but the air was extremely hot. On the way back I met two hunters and a herd of goats on the edge of some cliffs, who I think they were the trigger for my lift "UP", that took me so high I could see the cliffs at the end of the plateau, near the hill-station town, Mahbaleswar. I didn't make it all the way back, because it was so late. It was a nice triangle of 77 kilometers. From the air I could see good landing spots, all of which had a white circle. I thought they were helicopter pads, but later the kids told me these are cricket grounds. Ahh!? India!
Second day we could not fly as the authorities banned flying. There was no reason given for this action. It seems to me typically Indian! The last couple of months, India has been thinking that paragliders could be possible terrorists and due to it being Holi festival, were perhaps afraid of another bomb attack, such as happened in Pune only a month before. Only late at night we got news that the cause of the ban was that the President of India visited Satara, the nearby city.
Third day and my Summit XC is ready to go. The condition are quite strong and we are a bit late. But as soon as we climbed, we went up to 2500m and clouds were starting to rise in front of us. We were just two of us in the air. I headed towards the South. I was waiting for Urs who was following me, but I lost him. Later he said I was too fast for him! The wind was perfect to follow the ridge that forms the border of the plateau and the flat coastal plain where sea breeze was blowing. I was going as far as possible and the end was a valley that I didn't want to cross because the visibility was so bad that I could not even see any houses or roads toward the other side.
I landed in the valley, in the middle of nowhere, exactly in front of an under-cover policeman. I was transferred to the city of Mahad, where two more policemen were waiting for me. After 82 kilometers of flying, they took me to the police station where I was questioned about why I landed there and where I came from... After two hours I was released, and because there was no bus home, they arranged a free room in the hotel for me a room was full of mosquitoes!
Fourth day I came back from the flight with the first bus and had a quick breakfast before I was again on take-off. That day my plan was 70 kilometers distance to Pune. It was Holi festival and people got painted with different color powders they threw at each other.
I had a difficult beginning to get the first thermal, but even later on when there were only blue thermals, I managed to fly, without a doubt, to get across the spectacular valley and lake with a river delta coming in from the north west.
On my left side, 800m below me, was a passenger plane flying in its corridor to land at the airport. Waw… I planned to fly there, because I thought it was the best place to fly! Another plane was just taking off and my vario was just bipping with the nice noise to tell me I'm going "UP"! Just don't turn this plane in my direction, I said to myself. And he didn't.
I didn't need to make any turns for the next 20 kilometers, getting gentle 0,1m/s lift all the way. When I reached Pune I was at more than 3000 meters, but it was getting late and in my mind was just a plan to get down as soon as possible, to be invisible to the police and to try and avoid landing in the military base in South West part of the city. I could have continued over the lake towards the South West, but had no idea about settlements and roads in that direction. I landed, packed and tried to disappear before the locals came. They came just as I was leaving…
Together with Sasa, we hope the good weather conditions will move further to the north and help The Himalayan Odyssey expedition to fly "UP" with their 'lite X – Trango's.

In a previous post I shared a bunch of different fabrics that I have for sale. Well I've gone through my stash even further, and here are even more! Continue reading

Throwback Thursday: Blue corset with flocked scrolls
I'm calling this a Throwback Thursday because this is actually a corset I made a while ago (so I don't have any work-in-progress photos either). I made this to sell, back when I was hoping to get commissions for custom work (I'm not looking to do custom work anymore).
A bit about this corset:
This is a lightweight modern Victorian design corset with a sheer blue fabric over pink cotton. The blue fabric has black flocking and silver glitter. The pink fabric shows through the blue sheer fabric, creating a colour-changing or shot effect. (This is most visible in the photos taken with flash.)
Golden Byzantine Accessories
In my previous post about my new (Pretty printed prancing period Persian ponies) Byzantine gown, I mentioned also making new accessories to wear with it – namely the collar (Superhumeral) and hanging panel.
Pretty printed prancing period Persian ponies
For an A&S night (a SCA evening where we practice Arts & Sciences) one of the local artisans taught a workshop on block-printing, and let me borrow two of her fabulous wooden blocks – winged horses based of an extant Persian fabric. While the original is woven, the blocks make great look-similar-from-a-distance printed fabric!
(Check out her page "Adventures in Block Printing" on Facebook here, and her original inspiration for this block here.)
More dyeing with indigo
In my earlier post about Dyeing with Indigo, I showed off some of the photos and videos of the handspun wool yarn dyeing and the results. Now I'll show off fabric instead!
Our hostess had some resist block-printed silk to test out (mostly testing out the historically-informed resist rather than the dye itself) while one guest brought a strip of cotton to dye for a trim, another brought some silk from a salvaged wedding dress, while I brought some linen, as did another guest.
As I mentioned in an earlier post about the madder pot, I started my linen in the madder vat, but didn't like the pale coral colour, so I popped it into the indigo vat.
