I was recently invited to participate at the 2nd Fiber Board meeting hosted by Agromed (Austria) in cooperation with University of Natural resources and Life Sciences Vienna (Institute of Animal Nutrition, Livestock Products, and Nutrition Physiology). I rarely accept such invitations anymore but this time, it was about a theme close to my interests: fiber nutrition, of which I have devoted a good number of my writings in the last couple of years.
Indeed, my participation to this board of worldwide experts was nothing less of an enlightenment because it allowed me to clarify some issues and come back with even more questions! Part of my participation agreement was permission to share with our readers an outline of this private event as I strongly believe we can all benefit by a deeper understanding of fiber as a nutrient, functional components, and anti-nutrient, if you so wish. Below are the major points, which I am afraid can only provide but a brief glimpse of the event.
It is now well established by numerous studies in humans and animals that during times of stress, such as weaning in piglets or gut infections in broilers, there is a tremendous upheaval on the make up of gut microflora. As such, during times of stress, it is to the benefit of the animal's health to support the "good" bacteria. We can do this by the use of certain external strains (probiotics) or by providing functional fibers to enhance the innate beneficial bacterial. Ideally, a combination of both methods should lead to the best possible result.
The well-known crude fiber term describes only a relative small function of the whole dietary fiber spectrum. For example, it does not include all hemi-celluloses and pectins, both of which play a very significant role in modulating gut microflora. Although its use remains relevant in establishing equations that predict net energy concentration based on chemical composition, its value is nil in terms of describing the effect of fibers on gut bacteria. Similar forms, such as acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber offer a more inclusive methodology in terms of fiber quantity in any specific ingredient, but they still fail to provide any qualitative trait.
There is no doubt that excess fiber will reduce overall nutrient digestibility, as it has been demonstrated by many older studies. But, not all fibers act in this way. For example, pectins form a gel that is expected to reduce iron absorption, but studies have shown it actually enhances it. This is because water-soluble fibers reduce transit time enabling better digestibility. This is of course true up to a certain concentration, as we know very well that excess soluble fibers, such as those from wheat and barley might actually reduce digestible enzyme access to nutrients.
In practical terms, gut microflora respond to two types/functions of fiber: solubility and fermentability. As it happens, some fibers can be partially soluble (such as hemicelluloses) or partially fermentable (such as cellulose). As such, we cannot provide an easy method of characterizing each fiber based on its chemical nature alone. Thus, each ingredient, with a very complex fiber profile, must be assayed and characterized individually – a very laborious and expensive proposition but one without a more practical alternative.
Here we can only start to understand the complexity of this problem by bringing up some examples. In older animals, (insoluble) fiber is beneficial only in terms of gut motility, whereas its contribution to overall energy supply is but limited (fermentable fiber). In young animals, however, things become quite complicated. Soluble fiber is required to slow down digesta passage rate in the small intestine, under certain conditions, whereas a healthy fermentation pattern in the large intestine is required to ensure overall gut health. As such, the right mix of soluble versus insoluble fiber requires quantification for each species and age, something extremely difficult, especially considering that such ratio is bound to be different in relatively healthy versus unhealthy animals.
There is a considerable body of literature in the realm of human nutrition pertaining to the issue of fiber that remains unknown to animal nutritionists. Given the close proximity of the human digestive system, similar problems of gut health, and not so disparate ingredients or at least types of fibers we consume, it is logical to assume that research from human nutrition science could be used at least as the springboard to enhance our understanding in fiber and health interactions. After all, Hippocrates of Kos, the father of modern Western medicine, used to say let food be your medicine and medicine your food!
We must move away from crude fiber and focus on fiber solubility and fermentability. Considerable research is required to qualify the effects of each type of fiber and their correct ratio under each stress conditions for each animal species. Ingredients must also be characterized according to their functional fiber concentrations. In general, we must remove emphasis from fiber concentration towards fiber physiological functions. Fiber is neither "good" nor "bad" as there are numerous types of fibers each with a specific role to play, something that changes according to animal age and condition.

Here's a nice and simple recipe for some wholesome Nutella-style balls full of protein and with layer upon layer of chocolate and hazelnut flavours! There are only four ingredients, though you may need to pop out and buy the hazelnut butter, or feel free to sub with any peanut or almond butter you might have in your kitchen cupboard already. They'll still be bloomin' delicious.
15 protein balls at 2.35g of protein per ball is not too bad either :-)

Sleek MakeUP Highlighting Palette - Solstice
April 8th 2019
OMG!! Never not in my makeup kit, I use it on my no makeup days and on those glam nights. Even my friends with darker skin tones are a lover of this product. You can totally make the highlights totally blinding and shimmering but sometimes I prefer a more subtle wet kind of look, but that's the thing I love about this pallet you can do anything with it!! The only thing I would say is that I feel like throughout the day the pigment begins to fade and it seems to just leave specks if glitter rather than actual highlight but that's why I always keep a spare for touch ups.

Cyprus in renowned around the world as one of the best summer destinations in the Med, but nowadays more and more tourists are flocking to this jewel of an island in the winter months. And with daytime temperatures in November still hitting 24 degrees its easy to see why.
The beach at Coral bay, Paphos, is where you need to be heading off to top up the tan, its simply the best beach on Cyprus's west coast, and fortunately this is where your going to find all of your hotels for the winter season. For those non beach lovers panic not because all of our hotels feature swimming pools and vast majority also feature indoor pools and spa's so even on those days when the weathers not brilliant you can still chill out with a glass of wine and a good book by the Jacuzzi!
Many of our hotels are in Paphos, on the west coast of the island making for a nice short transfer from Paphos International airport, and from the second you land you cant fail to notice a few similarities to the UK, including the fact they drive on the left hand side of the road like us, and you may even pass the odd red telephone box. Another immediate thing you will notice is how friendly the Cypriot people are, always greeted with a smile and nothing ever seems to be too much bother.
As a lot of Cyprus hotels operate on a bed and breakfast basis you will a fantastic opportunity to check out the odd traditional taverna or two before sampling some of the freshest food in the Med in one of the many restaurants that line the harbour front.
There is so much do and see in Cyprus in the winter, and with the weather been cooler than the sizzling summer temperatures Cyrus is famous for, exploring is much more comfortable and relaxing. Why not visit the Tomb of the Kings in Paphos, or visit the birthplace of Aphrodite??? And possibly the best excursion has to be the cruise across to Egypt to visit the Pyramids.
This winter have prices starting from just £249 for a week bed and breakfast in Paphos this winter and as low as £299 half board.
So why not give Cyprus a go this winter and see if you fall in love with possibly the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean

This interview was held by Rick123Axel.
Bridget Jourdain Middleton portrayed an unnamed Woodbury resident.
What role/roles have you had in The Walking Dead?
I was a Woodbury survivor and a soldier in the season finale.
What episodes have you appeared in?
I was in three, but I can be seen in two. The barbeque with the pig, and the finale. I jumped off of the truck with a sniper rifle.
How did you get the role?
I submitted to an extras casting company.
Was there any scenes that were cut featuring you?
Running in the bomb scene. I am not cut, but hardly seen. When they were fighting in the arena.
Did your character have a name or backstory which was not shown/cut? If not, did you create one for yourself?
I did not have a story, and I just lived on set as though I was really struggling to survive. The set was naturally hot and sticky most months, and the days long, so it really felt like a hard time.
Can you confirm you character's fate?
The Governor killed me.
Did you watch the show or read the graphic novel prior to your role?
I watched the first season.Who are your favorite characters?
Michonne and Rick.
What is the atmosphere like on the set of such a serious, dramatic show?
It's tiring because the hours are long, and intense, and because you have to be in character. It's also cool, because you get to see the zombies transform.
Do you have any interesting or funny stories from your time on the set?
One late night an actor started playing the organ, and he sang amazing grace. We were all entertained, and thought it was pretty cool.
What was the best thing about working on The Walking Dead?
Being able to mingle with the cast, and watch the zombies transform.
Thank you again on behalf of the entire wiki! We appreciate it very much!
No problem.

A couple days ago, we saw filming pics from the set of Captain America: Civil War in Atlanta, where Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) were attending a funeral. Now we have confirmation of whose funeral it actually is.
Captain America: Civil War spoilers below, obviously.
As it was feared, the funeral our good ol' Cap is attending is that of his best girl, Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). In Winter Soldier, Peggy was already well advanced in years and obviously suffering from Alzheimer's (or something similar). So, even though it's infinitely sad, it's not that much of a shocker that it's actually Peggy who is in that casket — especially since it was draped with a British flag, as you can see below.
It has been confirmed!!! It is Peggy's funeral scene :'( I knew it was coming!! #CaptainAmericaCivilWar #PeggyCarter pic.twitter.com/DtHMrgTXmA— Avengers_AgeOfUltron (@PeggyCarterIAm) May 19, 2015
If you already miss Peggy, you'll get to see her again in Ant-Man on July 17, and in the upcoming second season of Marvel's Agent Carter.

VIDEO: Banky W ft. Nonso Amadi – Running After U
Top Nigerian RnB Singer – Banky W premiers the music and video of "Running After U" featuring Nonso Amadi.
In the "Running After U" song, I tried to tell the story of how my wife and I got together. But 24 hours before we shot the video, I decided I wanted to use the video to celebrate the whole journey of marriage. And so I drastically altered the original casting plans last minute, and called up all my married friends who were in town, to come hang out on set, have some fun together, and celebrate the decision to attempt this thing called life together. The journey of marriage isn't always easy, but with the right person, every step ends up worth it.
If there's one thought I'd like for people to take away, it's that… Nobody's perfect, but you can be perfect for each other – you just have to find someone worth trying for. Run after her, then run with her, until you conquer "forever" together. And while you attempt to do this, don't forget to have some fun.
Enjoy the masterpiece below and share your thoughts.

Leeds-based bespoke caterer and event management company Dine is set to partner with Leeds City College.
Following a successful placement of an apprentice chef with Dine last year, Dine founder Dan Gill has been invited to inspire the next generation of hospitality and catering students. He will speak with BTEC students at the college on 20 April in the first of a series of such lectures.
One of the UK's largest Further Education establishments, Leeds City College has National Skills Academy status for food and drink manufacture and hospitality, Dan will speak about career opportunities available in the hospitality sector, the skills that the business is looking for and talk about his own career progression within the industry.
Dan Gill said: "The hospitality sector can provide meaningful and interesting careers for young people with clear lines for progression and prospects for advancement.
"Yet somehow it has been perceived in the past as less attractive than travelling the traditional higher education route. Food and drink makes a vast contribution to the regional and national economy and I want to share some insights to enthuse the students about the opportunities in this exciting environment."
Phil Parish was appointed apprentice chef with Dine last year. Mark Dawson, executive head chef at Dine who managed the recruitment and placement, said: "Dine offers a high end level of both food and service to our customers, any student we took on had to be able to embrace our company ethos, to ensure quality wasn't compromised.
"Phil has really risen to the challenge as his confidence and hands-on knowledge increased. So successful was the experience, that we have a new apprentice starting with us this month.
"He will complete an initial 12 week traineeship programme before starting his apprenticeship properly and we hope for equally great things from him."
Mark used Qube Learning, a training provider specialising in vocational qualifications, to recruit both apprentices. Qube provided continual support throughout the process.

TwigComfortable ski length depends as much (if not more) on your weight as your height. If you're 5'6 and 120lbs then that's going to be a lot of ski and I wouldn't recommend it, if you're 5'6 160lbs that's a totally different situation. There's also a high degree of personal preference involved. A lot of people on here have a thing for longer skis but riding a ski 10cm taller than yourself, even with that much rocker has downsides. They Wets might ski like a 171 or less on snow but they still feel 177 or close in the air. My guess is you'd be happier on something around 169-172cm (if you're still going to be the same height when you come to ride these next season). If you're growing that also changes things a bit, you need to think how tall you are likely to be next season and also how many seasons you expect skis to last. If you ski 100 days hitting rails every day, you probably need a new ski every year (at least) so buy the right size for now. If they will last you 2-3 years, size up a bit so they still feel good later.

Work In Progress :: Mediterranean Stairs
[Newest updates and pictures on top of page, I'm not that concerned with making thumbnails for WIP pages -- expect filesize to be fairly big]
06 06 2001
] - The latest render of this scene, almost final now but still a few textures that need to be added. The railing and the wall on the left still needs to be touched up.
After this scene is all complete, Ill probably put together a little related tutorial [grass ;P] since I've gotten alot of questions about that.

05 09 2001
] - Started this little thing a few days ago. Its mainly a texturing exercise for me, but is also based on all the time I've spent in the lovely Mediterranean countries. Im trying to recapture the feeling of a little town somewhere by the sea at sunset. Imagine that nice summer evening when the quicksilver is climbing upwards the 40C's, you sit at a bar, in the shadow mouthing a beer slowly. You see a meager little cat walking by, but you have no sense of knowing if its a homeless one or a fine breed out on a nice walk by itself...
Because its another texturing exercise for me, its one of those scenes which doesnt rely that much on modeling even to the point that its really really simple ;P As a contrast to the "Still Life : Translucent" image this one is based upon images that the textures are made out of.
Click to view image.
There is still a few things in this images that aren't textured yet. Those are:
-The railing on the stairs.
-The stairs, (tiles and cement).
-The "back wall" in the small area between the stairs and the next house.
-The tiles on the cement part of the railing
-The flower pots.
-The dirt in the flower pot.

97 for 3 (16 overs)
Kamran Afshar 31 (ret), Alex Whyte 27*
99 all out (19.5 overs)
Charlie Kidd 3 for 4, Kamran Afshar 2 for 12
Match Drawn
Damp pitch, dull evening but a sparkling first match of the season for the team.
In the face of some typically aggressive big hitting from DAFS opener Ben, our lads stood firm and persevered, with good bowling and fine, energetic ground fielding. Captain Kamran gained in confidence as the innings wore on, encouraging his team mates in a manner that belied his years. But for numerous dropped catches, the opponents total would have been much less - save that is for 3 brilliant catches from Joseph. As the figures show, Charlie was the pick of the bowlers, but young Ruaridh bowled a splendid spell of mixed flight and pace - the damp pitch nullifying any spin.
In reply, Kamran and Joseph opened well, picking off the bad balls and playing the good ones sensibly. With the partnership on 25 Joseph nudged a rising ball to the wicketkeeper, and this brought Alex to join the captain. The runs flowed, and Kamran retired on 31, with Alex going on to make an excellent 27* - very strong on anything piched middle to leg. Charlie hit a fine-looking straight drive for 4, before falling shortly afterwards - he will surely make lots of runs this season. Unfortunately, fading light brought the match to a premature conclusion with an honourable draw the outcome.
Great attitude from the team, enjoyable first outing and we'll practice those catches this week, won't we lads?
87 for 4
Tom Simpson 23 ret, Gregor Shand 11 ret, Angus Beattie 11 ret
45 for 7
Ruairidh Main 2 for 2
Dreadful weather welcomed our close friends and rivals Watsonians to Peffermill. There was a howling, biting wind as the teams took to the field, and made bowling difficult for the young Watsonians.
Still, their bowlers stuck to their task, and our openers Tom and Gregor made slow but steady progress. Tom top scored with an unbeaten 23, but Gregor and Angus impressed by dispatching the loose delivery.
So 87 was the target for Watsonians, with the weathers worsening as light rain filled the air. Our opponents task was made harder by fine opening bowling by Ruaridh & Angus, removing the top 3 batsmen.
And when first-change Ben capped a fine spell with a wicket, Watsonians were 14-4 and our lads were on top. However, the spirit to play cricket in these conditions was impressive from both sets of players, and Watsonians knuckled down to end on 45.
Just how Murray held on to 2 fine catches at cover in freezing conditions in poor light is anyone's guess. For the record, Sam, Archie W and Andrew picked up our other wickets.
You know, cricket's a fine game, but it might be better if Lothian League organised games during the summer! Look forward to the return, Watsonians.
70 all out
72 for 3
Murray Whitaker 27*, Tom Simpson 14
A fine evening at last, and Tom won the toss and invited SMRH to bat first on the artificial strip at Ferry Road. Liam and Ruaridh opened the bowling for us and bowled well, with Liam more consistent with his line this time. Ruaridh impressive as always with his leg spin. However the only wicket came from a smart run out, with Alex fielding cleanly and bouncing a throw to Liam who gathered and flicked the bails off in quick time.
Angus & Ben were the first change bowlers who struck with 5 wickets between them. Ben trapped the top scoring opener plumb lbw, and his accurate, wicket to wicket bowling also brought him a double wicket maiden. Zaid and Alex bowled impressive, aggressive spells, but SMRH reached a fair total in posting 70. You know, I've been down at Ferry Road with the juniors over a fair number of years now, and we've never scored more than 65 (and not always lost either). So we had our work cut out.
But were our opening batsmen impressive, or what? Tremendous concentration and composure from Tom Simpson & Murray Whitaker (both primary schoolboys) saw us through into the 40s before Tom was dismissed to a fine caught & bowled. Alex came and went quickly, but younger brother Cameron provided fine support to Murray until falling to a full toss out of a fading sun. Liam came in, and applied a cool head to see us through with a few overs to spare.
We try to keep a fine balance with this side, mixing extremely promising youngsters, with the power and athleticisim of a few older lads. And give these older lads their due, they were extremely solid tonight. Alex, Zaid, Liam and Ben put in some outstanding work in the field, covering those long boundaries, with swift accurate throwing. Best of all - Zaid picked up a superb catch at square leg off an Archie full toss, diving full length in front getting 2 hands to the ball. Magnificent stuff, and all round example to the youngsters.
Oh, let's not forget captain and wicketkeeper Tom, an excellent all round match, snapping up a fine, up-at-the-stumps catch off Archie's bowling.
Many thanks to Lawrance (as always) for the invitation to play this friendly - much appreciated by players on both sides.
67 all out
Ben White 4 for 3
89 all out
Sam Marchbank 33*
A good win for an inexperienced B side, without their regular coach!
Carlton batted first and Sam held the innings together with an excellent unbeaten 33, well supported by Zaid and Kit.
In reply, Accies struggled in the face of some fine Carlton bowling and fielding. Ben returned figures that his dad can only dream of (4 for 3), while Zaid picked up a fine caught and bowled. There were also important wickets for Archie W and Archie R (on debut). Add to that a couple of runouts and a fine one-handed catch from Callum and it was a good night all round.
109 for 6
Gregor Shand 34 ret, Calum Woodward 13*, Murray Whitaker 10, KIt Buchan 10
112 for 7
Zaid Obaid 3 for 25
What a marvellous match for the grade. Both teams splattered with fine cricketing prospects, and determined sportsmen.
Carlton batted, and Murray & Gregor put on 59 for the first wicket - only ended when Gregor retired on 34. Gregor's innings was a joy to watch, including five 4's, coupling fine strokemaking with excellent opening batting technique. Now if Gregor overshadowed his partner in run-making, young Murray displayed an equally admirable opening batsman's attitude in supporting Gregor. Good technique, excellent running and a smattering of good shots as well - super Murray! Exhillerating stuff - you should have been there!! But we're not just a two man batting team - far from it and our middle order batsmen built on the start by pushing the total onto 109 with Kit, Callum, Archie and Sam striking the ball well.
So, 109 gave us a chance (but remember it was Arboretum Road...) Our opening bowler, Zaid put the Grange openers under pressure straight away and picked up 3 wickets in a fine spell. However, the Gators were scoring at a fair rate, but our lads were performing very well in the field keeping things tight in the small outfield. So, 3 run outs helped our cause, with Sam striking the wickets directly from the boundary not once, but twice. However, despite Ben taking a wicket, and fine bowling elsewhere from Ruaridh and Max, Grange prevailed with their young No. 8 the matchwinner - retiring on 30.
So, best performance by the team this season, against good opposition, but most impressive was the attitude of our lads as they strove to take the final wickets, yet keep the run rate down. Untimately, we didn't quite make it, but it was great fun to be involved, with super ground fielding from the whole side. And, er, well done Grange!!

Project Details
Conducting a drill-and-blast operation improvement study.
Client: CRH Republic Cement
Time Span: 2016-2017
Location: Philippines

CRH Republic Cement requested RESPEC to conduct a drill-and-blast audit of multiple quarry operations. RESPEC was also requested to propose and manage a continuous improvement process to improve fragmentation, floor control, and wall control.
RESPEC worked with the mining contractors and drill-and-blast subcontractors to collect baseline data on the drill-and-blast operations. The baseline data collection showed a lack of drill control, which caused high variability in explosive distribution in the blasts. RESPEC chose to address drilling control before proposing any blasting design changes. This approach helped the client's operations improve while improving costs for both CRH Republic Cement and the contract mining operator.

Social Consequences of Internet Use: Access, Involvement, and Interaction
Author: James E. Katz, Ronald E. Rice
Publisher: Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2002
Review Published: December 2007
In this thick book, James Katz and Ron Rice use American survey data to analyze the social consequences of internet use. "Social consequences" in this context refers to issues of equality in access to internet technology, political engagement, community involvement, social interaction, and identity formation. In line with the title, the chapters are arranged into three main sections of about one hundred pages each. Each of these contain an extensive review of assumptions and evidence in previous research, presents the authors' quantitative findings, and provides qualitative case samples, many of anecdotal character.
The previous research is dealt with by generalizing it into two theoretical categories that are counterposed -- the utopian versus the dystopian perspectives. The aim is primarily to respond to negative analyses (342) and to pinpoint the ways in which the internet has had positive influences on society. A main argument the authors use to sustain this approach is that while internet use might often have selfish motives, when acted out online these actions still benefit the community in different ways. The authors refer to this as the "invisible mouse" in analogy to Adam Smith's "invisible hand." Important in this respect is that both social and monetary production and transfer costs in online communication are fairly low compared to other media, which facilitates an increase of social capital. Albeit focusing on the positive aspects of the internet the authors do not label their view utopian. Instead, they seek a compromise they call "syntopia" that acknowledges the internet as primarily being an extension and enhancement of everyday life. This syntopia is "a synergistic 'together place' that integrates people's ideas and actions" (354). It is recognized that as with many other forms of technology the internet can be used for harmful purposes. Such examples are offered throughout the book though exploring the dark sides of the internet is not the authors' main priority.
Katz and Rice's original data was collected through a number of telephone surveys conducted between 1995 and 2000 in the United States. In addition to their own data, they also use Pew Internet and American Life Project surveys from March 2000. The analysis consists mainly of X2 measures and some logistic regressions.
The first chapters concern internet access. In addition to evaluating the explanatory power of differences in demographic variables between users and nonusers, issues of awareness, motives, and obstacles are also analyzed. The digital divide is seen to be persistent but declining and the authors argue strongly that current barriers to internet access for all are social rather than technical or financial (65, 99). Perhaps the most novel find is that across the four survey years (1995, 1996, 1997, and 2000) consistently about 10% of respondents report having stopped using the internet. The internet dropouts are among other things typically younger and less educated than users. They are also more likely to report having less than average internet skills and are more likely to have been taught by family or friends rather than be self-taught. The authors note that the phenomenon of internet dropouts has not previously received much attention in either social policy or scholarly debates. The chapter in this book is quite modest in scope but the data seems to concur largely with the later and more thorough Pew Internet reports (Lenhart 2003) on internet dropouts. It seems fairly clear that the main reasons for dropping out are loss of access (no computer or too expensive) and lack of interest (rather than health related issues or fear of privacy invasion).
The next section investigates whether internet users are less involved in politics and their community than nonusers. The indicators used to measure offline political activity are among others whether one has attended a political rally, watched Republican or Democratic conventions on TV, or had face-to-face discussions with friends or family about the 1996 political campaign. Examples of online political activity are having visited a campaign-related website or having had e-mail exchanges or chat room discussions about the 1996 political election. Community involvement is measured by membership in religious, leisure, and community organizations. While civic and community involvement might have decreased during the late 20th century, the authors find no evidence that the internet "destroys social capital" (200). However, neither do they see any radically positive influences at this time.
The picture gets brighter when we finally get to social interaction and expression. By surveying such variables as communication by letter or phone, knowledge of neighbours, meeting with friends, and contacting family members online, the authors reinforce their thesis that the internet increases social interaction. But what is the essence of this increasingly social human? Is the online self as "decentred, dispersed and multiplied" (265) as some postmodern writers claim? The authors think not, and align themselves with Gergen's (1991) theory of the "saturated self." This leads them to the conclusion that a) the internet does not liberate us from physical identity and b) "the Internet no more (and thus no less) enables identity creation than do conventional communication technologies" (283).
As an experienced online user but fairly new to the field of internet research, I picked up this book hoping to get a thorough introduction to scholarly debates about what role the internet plays in everyday life and about what consequences the increased use of computer mediated communication has for (western) society. Katz and Rice's work on social consequences of internet use is certainly such a piece.
There are a few instances where I got confused about how conclusions are drawn from the survey data, one example being the issue of obstacles to internet access. The authors claim that barriers are mainly social (i.e. lack of interest) rather than financial or technical. At the same time, they note that "cost, too expensive" is the first or second most important reason for non-access in the home among people with less than $25,000 (76). The amount of people unaware of the internet was indeed lower (8.3%) in 2000 than the proportion living below poverty rate (11.3%, as reported by www.census.gov). Is it really reasonable then to assume that the poor need education rather than money?
Another thing I reacted to when reading this book is that while it is only five years old, it already feels like a child of its time. For example, a large part of the discussion of identity is based on the phenomenon of personal homepages where the authors make a case for the unity of identity by noting that we tend to speak of homepages in singular, "my homepage." In 2007, with the rapid increase of different community and communication services online, such an argument seems less valid since "my homepage" in many cases will have become supplemented with "my msn," "my facebook," "my blog," etc. In another instance, the authors use an anecdotal tale of an individual's ability to detect someone else's faked identity to show that it is not as easy as one might think to "multiply" oneself online. However, the particular scenario chosen to depict this seems to me a futile attempt to deceive by the kind of person we commonly know as a n000b. I would argue that this is a question of techno-social capital and the longer we have "lived online" and the more knowledge we have of how the internet works, the greater our potential will be to stay anonymous and/or create and sustain alternate selves. To give another example of the time-specificness of this study, measuring offline sociability by the amount of phone calls made in the last week seems ambiguous with the recent increase in use of internet voice software such as Skype.
In some respects, all texts are children of their time. And in this case I do not think it is a wholly bad thing. On the contrary, it makes it a stimulating and necessary read for anyone who is interested in how the uses (and abuses) of the internet have developed over time. The book contains extensive reports on internet use in the early years based on data collected by the authors and others and deals with theory and previous research in a coherent and thought-provoking way. This makes it a very useful piece of research for those looking for ideas for further studies on the topic. I do however hesitate to suggest it as course material as I find that some of the arguments put forth were probably more relevant and comprehensible in 2002 than they are in 2007.
To conclude, I enjoyed reading this well structured and ambitious work. As fear and prejudice about internet use persists, I will surely return to Katz and Rice for support when attempting to counter claims of western cultural decay.

Happy 3rd birthday, Vera – hope you are having a lovely time with all your family!
Yearly Archives: 2016
Happy Birthday to Vera, Nursery!
Year 8 fun with science – try this at home!
Making a compass
Did you know that you can use a needle or a bit of wire to make a compass? Year 8 did this in the Christmas term – it's a fun experiment to try at home, too. And it could even be useful in an emergency!
Step 1: magnetize your needle or bit of wire If you've got a magnet handy, just touch the south pole of the magnet to the point of your needle. Then touch the north pole of the magnet to the other end of the needle. You can also do this with a bit of wire.
Chances are, you wouldn't have a magnet if you were lost in the wilds of the Brecon Beacons or Dartmoor, or even the back lanes of Norfolk – so instead, you can use a little bit of silk or wool from your clothing to magnetize the needle. Rub the needle back and forth from eye to point about 100 times; the needle will now be magnetized.
Step 2: turn the needle into a compass Grab a leaf, or something light that will float, and place the needle on top of it. Float it in a puddle of water, and you have yourself a makeshift compass. It will point North as all Year 8's leaves show in the second picture!
At HOHS you're never too young for hockey!
We had a great half term of hockey for all ages as you may have read in Miss Mickleburgh's hockey report. Here are Year 2 in full kit having a lesson towards the end of term in the sports hall, and getting ready to go to an away fixture. They have really enjoyed their hockey lessons, learning dribbling, passing, tackling and shooting skills as well as playing games and learning the rules. Well done, everyone!
See the Seals at Winterton and Horsey
A walk on the beach can be a refreshing antidote to all that eating we've probably done over the last few days. Norfolk of course has a wonderful choice of beaches, each with its own unique character and features. My personal favourite is Winterton – I love the miles of empty sand and paths through the dunes, there's a great café and it is dog-friendly all year. I will be going for a walk this week with friends and family along the beach towards Horsey until we come to the seals…literally hundreds of them, mothers and babies, littering the water's edge until around the end of January. If you've never experienced this amazing sight, it is well worth a visit. You can follow the crowds to Horsey itself for sightings from the dunes if the walk from Winterton is too long for any family members. Do take care not to disturb the seals.
You can find out more and see videos here.

They are back again, our most prolific repeat visitors! Hans and Joke (pronounced yoker), a Dutch couple, came to our campsite in 2006 just to see if the campsite was OK intending to stay only one or two nights. In 2006 they stayed for nearly two weeks, 2007 for one week on the way to their "real" holiday destination, 2008 for one week with some of their grown up children, 2009 for a week on the way to their "real" holiday destination and now for 3 nights on their way home. I think they like it here!
We have a number of people like Hans and Joke, who come back again and again, they have all become friends. What is so nice is that when they arrive at the campsite and say "it's like coming home". For us it is really gratifying that we have "got it right".
We built the campsite to suit ourselves making it the campsite we would like to stay on. No electricity on the site so no blaring TVs or radios. We have included a small fridge in the toilet block so that you can keep your beer or white wine cool or to enable you to buy in for breakfast without worrying if your pâté will have gone rancid before the morning. We keep the showers and toilets spotlessly clean, unless some anti-social people come and wash their muddy/grassy boots in the shower, no only making it disgustingly dirty but blocking the drains in the process, which happens every so often but we have learnt to deal with that type. Above all we have peace and quiet and I mean quiet. Most of the time you cannot hear a man-made sound (unless I'm mowing of course). At 08.30 the bells of Taizé ring out calling the faithful to the morning service, at 12.15 again and in the evening I know I am late with dinner if I hear the bells (20.30) before I have food on our plates!
Many of our visitors come for Taizé, some to really get involved in the discussion groups etc, others out of curiosity ("what is this place we have heard about?") and still others who want to go to one or two services. Many walk or cycle from here (how they get up or down that hill on a bike is a mystery to me) and others go by car.
Anyway, back to Hans and Joke, the only negative thing is that now we won't see them for another year as they will be leaving on Monday. It's sad saying goodbye to your friends but hopefully some of our others will be turning up soon to fill their gap.

For the control of the lighting around my home (and inside if I'm on hollyday) I used to rely on 4 mechanical timers. A replacement was needed.
The lights must be on from sunset until 23:00, something for which a mechanical timer alone is in fact not suitable. Settings of 4 timers must be changed regularly and if you forget it the lights are on too early or too late. And there were more problems: after a power failure of a few hours, my lights were on in the early morning and I had to set 4 separate timers on 4 separate positions. It has become time for a more comfortable solution.
- no do-it-yourself for mains circuits (as with the mechanical timers)
- no additional wiring from a central unit to swiches/relais (but there are 4 different lights)
- real-time clock must keep running in case of power failure
- simple and available platform for hard- and software, but a little bit d.i.y. is ok
- nice appearance (must be acceptable for my wife!)
The central unit will be based on Arduino (demand 4) using available libraries for rtc and wireless control.
To keep the unit simple no keyboard is build in; the unit is operated by an IR remote control of an obsolete video recorder (timer03). This make the realization of demand 5 a lot simpler.
The circuit is build on a left-over PCB from another project, so no PCB design is available. The central unit is an Arduino Nano, but other types, like Arduino Uno, will also do the job. Pictures timer06 and timer07 show my setup.
For the transmitter a simple unit from Banggood is used (type number SKU075671). This is a set of receiver and transmitter. I used the receiver (timer08) to obtain the address of my hand transmitter, so I could use it together with the timer. Stricly this is not necessary, because the switches can be programmed to use more than one address.
The rtc is also From Banggood (type number SKUC98329). Normally this circuit uses a rechargeable lithium battery (LIR2032), but by removing the resistor in the charging circuit a standard CR2032 can be used, which should last a couple of years. And if you are modifying the pcb, also remove the resistor of the power indication LED. There is no use for this LED. See picture DS3231_hack.png
The display is a standard 2x16 character LCD-display.
A simple Hammond box is used as housing. The only holes needed are for the LCD and the power supply. A separate hole for the IR-receiver is not necessary; the plastic is transparent (enough) for IR. And be carefull if you use a knife (see the scratch on the title-picture ;-)
The timer must switch on the lights if it becomes dark and switch them on at a fixed time (in the evening) or switch them on at a fixed time and off it becomes light (in the morning). Eventually one light stays on during the night.
To detect light and dark an LDR (light dependant resistor) can be used, but that would not be according to demand 2! Therefore the software must know about the time of sunrise and sunset. This is realised by an Arduino library.
The result is a simple box with has only one connection: the mini-USB power supply for the Arduino Nano. If you want to use (some or all) direct outputs of the Arduino to control your own circuit instead of the remote sockets, this is also possible: just define "HWout" and put the pins to be used in the array outarr[]. As an example I use channel A0 in the
program for this purpose.
The Fuzzilogic-433mhz library contains an example program for detection of the address of the hand transmitter: ShowReceivedCode.ino. As an alternative the zip-file contains a program which shows the address on the LCD: Light_code.ino.
Because in winter the dusk period is longer than in summer I tried to find some compensation for this. The lights inside are switched on earlier than the outside lighting. In summer there is no difference. In the program the factor myFact is included, which defines the duration of dusk during the winter. This will depend on your position on earth, which also has to be defined in the program to be able to calculate sunrise and sunset. Google maps can help you to find your coordinates. If you don't have problems connecting something external, an LDR might be the better solution.
In the Netherlands we still have summertime from the end of march until the end of october. By a simple routine, using a table for the date of start and end summertime (daylight saving) is determined. I know, there are libraries which can determine the time for any timezone on earth, but I like this simple approach. If you don't live in western Europe, you have to fill the tables Dayarr1[] and Dayarr2[] for your own situation. The tables covers 2020 to 2025. Because the situation may change after 2023, a longer table would be useless for me.
Items to be filled in the program for your own situation:
- KakuAddr: address of kaku units (not in EEPROM yet)
- MaxChan: number of devices (one RF channel can eventually control more sockets)
- HWout: do you want some channels to be digital outputs of Arduino?
- myNB: Latitude
- myEL: Longitude
- myGMT: Hrs to GMT
- myFact: Dusk duration in winter 25 minutes (tried for my location, depends on myNB
- Dayarr1: startdate of summertime in Europe (march from 2020..2025)
- Dayarr2: enddate of summertime in Europe (october from 2020..2025)
- outarr: if HWout is set, you have to define the hardware outputs

Audience Dialogue is a consultancy, formed in 1999 by Dennis List. We're based in Adelaide, Australia, but have clients on most continents (none in South America yet, but there's a possibility in Peru).
Our specialty is helping organizations improve the quality of their communications. We do this by using media research, in the broadest possible sense. Our toolbox of techniques is broader than most - see the Techniques section of this website. Many other organizations specialize in one core technique and use it for all their work,. Our approach is different: we spend more time working out exactly what the problem is, then choosing the most suitable technique to solve it. The methods we use include:
We work for communicators: mainly in broadcasting, publishing, the arts, education, government, and the internet. To summarize our approach in one sentence: we work with our clients, not for them - to help them communicate with their audiences, not to them. For more detail, see the pages on our
Major organizations we have worked with or for, in a consultancy or management role, include:
International development agencies
Dennis List worked for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation from 1980 to 1999. For the last ten years of that time, he was Research Manager in the Audience Research department: an internal consultant to program-makers and managers. He also managed a research unit that carried out surveys and qualitative studies throughout Australia. Here are some unsolicited comments received from internal clients...
"I want to place on record my appreciation of the work done by Dennis List for Radio 2 in recent times." (Network Controller, Australian Broadcasting Corporation}
"Thank you for your comments about the value of Mr List. It is pleasing for the whole department when someone's work is appreciated visibly, and I agree wholeheartedly with what you say about him." (Former Head of Audience Research, ABC.)
"I have such fond memories of your input into regional radio... your ability to be so clear in interpreting audience data and relay what it might mean in plain language...and to comment on options that we may have come up with in response. As well, you were so specific in your responses without fear or favour." (Radio Manager, Western Australia)
"Your involvement with our 50th anniversary conference was tremendous and always having you at the end of a phone with a mountain of relevant useful information is something I and [others] will miss" (Rural Program Editor)
"Thanks for all your help and attention over the years. I've always appreciated your expertise and dedication." (Head of Music Programming)
"I was always grateful for the advice from your wealth of knowledge of audience research." (Audience researcher)
"Your surveys, and your personal interpretation of them, have been a most valuable tool for me." (State Radio Manager)

Tastes at the Taste of Chicago
I enjoyed dinner at the Taste of Chicago last night. It was a beautiful summer evening and surprisingly not as crowded as I expected. The Taste is a 10 day food festival on the City's lakefront complete with over 60 restaurants serving their specialties, musical entertainment and family activities. Admission is free and food is purchased with coupons, $8 will get you 12 coupons and portions range from 4 to 10 tickets each. The Taste is famous for the diversity of restaurants as well as the favorites such as Eli's Cheesecake.
Some restaurants definitely offer better options for your money that others. For example, you can get a large slice of chocolate chip cheesecake with a scoop of ice cream for 7 tickets at Eli's while at Billy Goat Tavern, 8 tickets will only get you an overcooked bland burger (according to my kid). My favorite at all the places we sampled was the french fries with curry sauce and vinegar from O'Brien's Pub, absolutely finger licking good.

Leave it to Kandi Burruss to show the world what Tiny Harris and her husband, rapper T.I., a few years into their relationship.
Friday, the mother of two took to Instagram where she shared a fascinating photo. The picture was taken on August 22, 2003.
In the caption, she explained that the famous couple had gathered for her daughter, Riley's first birthday.
It features a baby-faced T.I. standing in the middle of the Xscape singers wearing a Jordan t-shirt. The two singers opted to sport tank tops.
It appears that the MC from Atlanta might have been involved in the cake-baking process because he seems to be holding what looks like to be a spatula with icing on it.
Burruss captioned the photo: "#TBT when @majorgirl & @troubleman31 came to @rileyburruss' 1st birthday party. Riley is 15, so this pic was taken over 14 years ago."
Needless to say that fans are thrilled to see the pair when they just began their much-publicized romance.
One fan reacted to the picture by saying: "You all still look that age. Aging like fine wine. I love how Tiny and TIP publicly love each other! Continue being the great example your kids should see!"
Another added: "God, I'm glad Kandi got a lil weight on her. Tiny and T.I look like babies."
The duo has been together for over 17 years. They have been married for about 8.
Also, they have raised seven beautiful and intelligent children together.
In the winter of 2016, Tiny surprised the world by announcing that she was filing for divorce.
Several publications stated that the diva wanted to leave after discovering her husband's infidelity.
The drama and scandal played on TV and social media and famous Instagram model Bernice Burgos was dragged in.
They are now back together and stronger than ever.
Last week it was reported that they thought they were going to have another baby.
A source said: "There was a few days last week where Tiny thought she was pregnant. She was late, and she started saying she thought she might be pregnant. She knows Tip wants more kids with her and she is starting to think that way too, so she was excited, it was a good thing."
The person added: "She took a pregnancy test, and it turned out that she is not pregnant and it was a bit of a letdown. But the way she and Tip go at it, like crazy rabbits, it is only a matter of time before she gets pregnant again. Everyone in her family is teasing them about it, but it is not a joke, it is more of a prediction."
What do you think of the photo?

Maersk's Subsea Support Vessels get SMST cranes
SMST, a specialist in design and construction of offshore equipment, has been awarded a contract for the delivery of two additional 100t Knuckle Boom Cranes for Maersk Supply Service's four Subsea Support Vessels (SSVs), being built by COSCO (Dalian) Shipyard.
SMST announced in a press release on Tuesday that the order is a sequel to two previously ordered SMST Knuckle Boom Cranes via main contractor Huisman.
Huisman secured the contract for the delivery of four 400t Hybrid Boom Cranes and two SMST Knuckle Boom Cranes on board the SSVs in December 2014.
The two cranes with Active Heave Compensation will be installed on Maersk's Subsea Support Vessels 3 and 4 which are, according to SMST, scheduled for delivery in 1Q and 2Q 2017. The vessels are of a Marin Teknikk MT 6027 design.
SMST stated that the cranes are designed for a large range of deck, offshore and subsea operations up to 3000m water depth.
The AHC Knuckle Boom Crane is part of a wide range of SMST offshore cranes up to 150t. The cranes can be outfitted in different configurations: knuckle boom, telescopic boom, fixed boom, rail mounted and with 3D motion compensated module.
