The National Inventors Hall of Fame today announced it will induct retired IBMer (NYSE: IBM) Norman Joseph Woodland for his contribution to the invention of the Universal Product Code (UPC). The UPC has become the world's most pervasive inventory tracking tool and has transformed the way consumers shop, how businesses and retailers manage inventory -- from large industrial equipment to canned goods sold in grocery stores.
IBM now has 12 members in the prestigious National Inventors Hall of Fame. They have been honored for a variety of seminal inventions ranging from LASIK Eye Surgery to the Scanning Tunneling Microscope, used to obtain atomic-scale images of the surface of metals.
"2011 is IBM's 100th anniversary, and inventors such as Joseph Woodland have pioneered many breakthroughs that have transformed the way we work and live," said Dr. Mark Dean, IBM Fellow, vice president of Technical Strategy for IBM Research and a member of the National Inventors Hall of Fame since 1997 for his invention that paved the way for the personal computer. "Through their determination, and the unwavering pursuit of progress, IBM inventors are making the world a better place for us today and in the future."
Woodland and his co-inventor, Bernard Silver, who also will be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, were working at Drexel University when they applied for the first bar code technology patent on October 20, 1949. Woodland joined IBM in 1951 and received a patent for the invention on October 7, 1952. The technology went undeveloped for more than two decades because, at the time, there was no way to read the code, until the laser became a practical tool.
In the early 1970s, Woodland worked with a team of IBMers that developed a system that used a laser scanner to digitally read a bar code derived from his original invention. At that time, an American grocery industry task force was evaluating standards that would enable supermarkets to automate and speed checkout at stores, as well as drive down costs associated with handling and managing inventory.
The grocery task force eventually settled on a standard that very closely paralleled IBM's approach and, in 1973, IBM became one of the earliest vendors to market a point-of-sale system with a checkout scanner that could read the UPC symbol based on Woodland's invention. The first UPC scan occurred on June 26, 1974 when a shopper by the name of Clyde Dawson purchased a 10-pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit chewing gum from cashier Sharon Buchanan at the Marsh Supermarket in Troy, Ohio. The scan was successful, and the gum rang up at 67 cents.
By 1980, the number of grocery stores using the UPC technology jumped to more than 2,200. UPC codes are now used worldwide by all kinds of organizations, schools, universities and companies in all industries to leverage the power of data and information management to organize and run their operations. In many countries, almost every item purchased in a retail store has a UPC code on it, resulting in bar codes being scanned billions of times each day.
The UPC represents one of the earliest forms of "instrumentation," through which objects are embedded with a code that enables people to collect data from these embedded objects and analyze the available information to make better, more informed decisions. In the future, the improvements UPC has delivered to society will be advanced by radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, which use wireless networking technology to capture data and yield new insights that can change the way products and services are marketed, sold and consumed.
Norman Joseph Woodland will be inducted in the National Inventors Hall of Fame in a ceremony on May 4, 2011.

"For them, the purpose of their art has been to simply give new perspective to familiar landscapes, to refresh and draw attention to these sites — even their overly familiar urban-scapes. Their art, which is so strong and majestic, rejects any meaning beyond itself. Perhaps, that's where its power lies and builds upon itself. It's pure."

This is a weekly feature in which I (and maybe you, too, readers) detail the various reasons for hating your ballpark. This week: The Philadelphia Phillies' Citizens Bank Park.
Edgy: Citizens Bank Park opened in 2004, by which point our stadium builders had clearly run out of ideas. With the lone exception of a blinking neon Liberty Bell in right, there is nothing to distinguish the place from something that might've gone up in, say, Charlotte. There is plenty of contrived personality, though. Set down in a cluster of parking lots in industrial South Philly, CBP nevertheless pretends to be an old-style ballpark squeezed into a tiny downtown lot. The outfield walls zig and zag simply because, once upon a time, outfield walls used to zig and zag — never mind that they did so because the site required it, as at Fenway. Today, the asymmetrical outfields serve no purpose other than to signal a quirkiness that the ballparks don't actually possess. They're the pre-ripped jeans of stadium design.
Now, you could plausibly defend the practice elsewhere on the grounds that it's entertaining to watch outfielders run a steeple chase any time someone sends a ball down the alleys. At Citizens Bank Park, however, this feels doubly wrong. This is Philadelphia, American midwife of the open grid, a city that prized, and even fetishized, rational design and geometric precision. Philly was the New World. Boston, with the gypsy dips and turns of its streets, was decidedly Old World; the lyric little bandbox that sprang out of its marshland naturally inherited the pompous whimsy of its city. This was nothing to get wistful over. Americans spent the 20th century working feverishly to flee such cramped conditions, only to see their baseball stadiums, at the dawn of the next century, pay homage to those unloved olden days in a spasm of mindless and profitable nostalgia.
Alley oops: I generally don't go in for the corporate naming-rights hysteria, mostly because a lot of the outrage rests on the illusion that baseball was once about something more noble than making money, which it wasn't. But the Phillies could've and should've done better with their new stadium. Richie Ashburn Stadium would've been nice. Or why not, at minimum, Richie Ashburn Field at Citizens Bank Park? Ashburn was the player our television broadcasters now desperately want David Eckstein to be. He was a singles-hitting centerfielder who walked a ton and played with such a motor that Ted Williams nicknamed him "Put Put." He was everything you'd want in a ballplayer. He was Pete Rose without the sociopathy and the Racing Form. An honest-to-god gentleman. Bill James tells a great Richie Ashburn story:
One time Ashburn hit a line drive into the stands, striking a young woman in the side of the face and knocking her unconscious. The stadium gasped. Ashburn stepped out of the box and watched in alarm as medics rushed to her side. In a few minutes the woman revived, the stretcher came, and the ballgame resumed. And Ashburn hit another line drive foul, and struck the poor woman again as she was being carried out of the stadium.
Ashburn visited the woman in the hospital after the game, invited her to come down and meet the players, befriended her and her family, and corresponded with the woman for the rest of his life.
He became a beloved broadcaster, and not long after his death, in 1997, a great many fans asked that the Phillies name their expensive new baseball stadium for Ashburn. The request was of course denied. The ballpark opened in 2004, and above all else people praised the outfield walkway, one of those newfangled stadium corrals where teams try very hard to sell you shit you don't want and where folks who go to baseball games to do anything but watch baseball games can pass an afternoon. This was everything you hate about the modern baseball experience. This, they called Ashburn Alley.
The view from the stands (everything sic'd):
When I saw that you were taking submissions for Citizens Bank Park, the first thing that popped into my head is that you would get all of these responses that said, "Hey, even though the Phillies moved from the craphole /dump/ octorad /shitbox that was the Vet to the new nice/family-oriented/retro/corporate Citizens Bank Park the fans are still total mutants." That could not be any further from the truth. People who say that never actually sat in the 700 level. And yes, you can see horrible displays of drunken meatheads at Citizens Bank Park. It doesn't compare to what used to happen in the 700 level at Vet. Citizens Bank Park has yet to have a brawl in the stands so big that the players and umpires stopped what they were doing in order to watch it. There is no part of CBP that compares to sections 745 and 746 of the Vet, and nobody pees in trashcans at Citizens Bank Park.
The issue with Citizens Bank Park is that it attracts 30,000 more people a game and holds 20,000 less than the Vet. So it seems like there are more drunks and things are more out of control. It's not that there are more drunks. The issue is that there are more sober people to document what is happening. Citizens Bank Park has become the cool place for college kids and angry white kids to go. The Vet was the place to go for people who considered a pack of hotdogs and a plastic bottle of vodka as plans for a Wednesday afternoon.
For the first 2 or 3 years of Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies used to have "College Nights." College kids got a discount on tickets, a free t-shirt/hat and some kind of food discount. I was at a college night in May of 2006 and sitting in the 2nd level of the outfield. At one point in the late innings of the game, the drunken college kids in the 2nd and 3rd levels devised a game in which somebody in the 3rd level would throw a slice of pizza like a Frisbee while somebody in the 2nd level tried to catch it. Although a high percentage of the slices ended up in the first level or on the field, there were some amazing catches made.
My favorite Vet memory was sometime in the late 90's. And the Phillies were playing the Expos on a weekday night, maybe 13,000 people in the whole stadium at most and the stadium held 65,000. My friend and I are sitting section 752, and there is nobody within 4 sections of us. And we are drinking Hi-C with vodka dumped in it. Maybe around the 3rd or 4th inning, the security guard comes over to us. And he starts talking to us about how he met Vlad Guerrero earlier in the day and he had arms like a construction worker. Yep, he was that strong. So after about 10 minutes of talking to us, he looks at us and says, "You two are sitting way up here on a weekday night watching the Phillies and Expos play, nobody sitting within 4 sections of you. I sure hope you have some booze mixed in with that Hi-C you are drinking."
My second favorite memory of the Vet was sitting in the 500 level in the outfield in 1992 and tossing the bones from my chicken wings at Andy van Slyke during a game against the Pirates. Who would have known then that would be the last winning season for the Pirates? (Mike)
A recent story from july 4th weekend this year, mets at phils.
Being a mets fan, I expected a weekend series in philly to be an unpleasant experience, but 'fear for my life' was not exactly what I was looking for. As we made our way into the stadium, a man far older than my 26 years yelled at us and invited us to drink his cum. Now, what striked me most about this and many of the obnoxious fans is that these are grown men, not boorish teens. There is something seriously wrong with these people. However this was just a warm up to our exit from the stadium where a younger fella followed us through the slow moving upper deck crowd, down the escalators, and outside the stadium, yelling at me the whole time "Get a new shirt, Pedro [Martinez]" This guy then proclaimed he would escort us to our car. At this point, we realized we had the crossed the line from typical philly fan to psychotic nut. Luckily, we were able to lose him in the crowd. Congrats Philly, you easily have the title as the white trash capital of the US. (Daniel B.)
I have basically nothing bad to say about the CBP. There isn't a bad seat in the house, the beers are not that expensive (the WSJ backs me up on this), and the product has been excellent (I went to see the WFC win 11 straight games at CBP until I went to the Red Sox series this summer). I can't imagine anyone ever having a bad time there, except for one person. That person is Jeff Francoeur. I was sitting in the right field second deck a couple years back for a Phils-Braves game and every time poor Jeff took to left field, the left field bleachers began to chant "YOU SUCK PENIS! CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP". This made my night. I'm pretty sure he went 0-4 with subscription for Valtrex. (Jim)
I attended a Phillies game in 2007; a friend of mine hooked me up with some nice season tickets on the third base line. I didn't ask how he got them, cause I'm not an asshole.
As it turned out, he had never been there before, so it was something new for both of us. We got there a little early, just before third pitch. We looked around, and THERE IS NO SCOREBOARD. The action at the plate was to the right, but there was no scoreboard in front of us, unlike every other ballpark in the U.S. We looked around, and the scoreboard is some small piece of shit above left field, and we had to turn our heads FUCKING 120 DEGREES. Take it from me, that place is screwed, because every time you're sitting on the third base line and you want to know what the count is, you have to turn your neck that much. I was having major pains at the top of my spinal cord by the fourth inning. And as if that weren't enough, the beer tasted like donkey piss. So there you go. (J.R.)
It's important to first note that I'm a 14 game plan ticket holder and have been for the last 5 years - basically once I could finally afford it. I'm one of those people you'll hear complaints about pussifying the stadium by bringing his kid and wife - I consider it indoctrination, and neccesary, because you don't become a Phillies fan by choice. But I digress.
It's game 5, part 2, of the World Series (if you do why your commishoner sucks bud selig edition I call dibs), and I've learned the parking plan in the absurd sea of parking in south Philly has gone to shit by experiencing it in the prior games. Lots are closed before they're full, nobody knows where else to go, epic waits, etc.
As a result, my dad and I, end up in the tailgate friendly lot right on the side of the Linc. We go into the game and glory of Glories we win. We jump up and down like little girls and cheer until our voices are gone.
Still in disbelief, we giddly return to the car. As we approach, the ground behind it is shimmering. I chalked it up to the absurdity of the phils winning, at first. Then we get closer and I notice the liftgate window is 100% gone. Goodbye giddy feeling.
I look in the back and there is a Corbett champagne bottle or what remains of it. None of the cops nearby saw anything or have their report books so my insurance has to just take my word for it. Oh and the good part - did I mention it's a company car? And I work with mets/Yankees fans?
Nothing like winning a world f'ing series and having to take shit from mets fans about how my own kind smashed my window, cost me several hundred dollars, and threw hand grenades at Santa claus.
Ps- the guy who has season tickets and sits next to us typically was understandably excited after the big win and hugged his woman and jumped up and down. Seeing her tears, he assumes she is beyond happy and exclaims "I know! Isn't it great?". Once he let's go she crumple to her seat, still crying. Yeah, he broke her ribs. That pRt was awesome.

Earlier this year, three buddies and I headed down to The Bank and grabbed 4 standing room only tickets. If you get to the park early enough you can park yourself at a standing post behind homeplate just above the lower seating section. It's a pretty good deal considering the people sitting 4 inches in front of you paid $70 for their tickets and the standing room tickets are only $18. (They were $12 previously, but when you team wins the World Series, there's profit to be had.)
About 45 minutes before game time the row directly in front of us fills up with a wide variety of college kids and one or two middle-aged women, all sporting the same lame homemade, sharpie scribbled t-shirts. As I was trying to figure out what lame company-sponsored "PHILLIES GAME 2009!!!!!" outing they were on, the entire row proceeds to stand and begin chanting "PURDY PURDY PURDY." One particularly obnoxious beer slut was holding a sign that read 'Purdy's first pitch' so we held off judgment on the group, fearing that we could be drunkenly mocking a group there to support a 6-year-old with lupus or 23-year-old who had his nuts blown off in Iraq.
As it turned out, "Purdy" was a seemingly healthy 40 something year old man who only got to throw out the first pitch because his company makes the sticks that the corndogs at the park come on or something. Unfortunately, the purdy group decided that some random asshole throwing out one of the EIGHT "first pitches" thrown that day was worthy of chanting his name for THE ENTIRE GAME.
Around the 4th inning everyone in the section and standing around us had their fill of the group chanting PURDY after Carlos Ruiz drew an intentional walk. Around this point, above mentioned beer slut took a little too long waving her sign between innings, which prompted an usher to ask her to take her seat, which prompted equally drunk dude a few rows in front of us to be begin yelling at beer slut, which prompted beer slut to begin hitting equally drunk dude with Purdy sign.
Considering all the runs in the game were scored in the bottom of the 1st, it at least provided some sort of entertainment through the other 8 innings of the game and anytime a 40 something year old man can have one of the best days of his life ruined by his son's friends, brother's, girlfriend's, friend, it's a great day at the park. (Kyle G.)
I put my name in the drawing last year for playoff tickets for the Phillies, thinking, "The Mets can't possibly blow the division lead two years in a row, right?"
Well, you know how that turned out, and I bought two tickets to Game 2: Brett Myers vs. CC Sabathia. I went with my buddy Bill. We were both Indians fans, and we knew that with CC pitching, it would turn into batting practice for the Phils.
The PA announcer said, "We're going to go on national television, and we all needed to show the world what Philadephia fans were like." I waited for someone to throw a punch, but 45,000 fans waved their towels and yelled.
And then the starting lineups were announced, and everyone watching the game really got a taste of Philly fans. "First, for the visiting Milwaukee Brewers..." was the only part I heard. The fans started booing immediately, living up to Philadelphia's reputation.
There was a guy sitting behind us wearing a shirt that said, "I'm not mad, I'm from Philadelphia." When Sabathia was announced as the starting pitcher, the crowd started yelling "CC sucks! CC sucks! CC sucks!"
The game started, and another guy sitting behind me started yelling that the Phillies aren't getting any strikes called. I mean, he's livid, motherfucking the umpires up and down.
Our seats are in the upper level behind the right field foul pole.
The guy keeps screaming. Finally, the guy next to him says, "You're 400 fucking feet away. The umpire can see better than you. Shut the fuck up, Dad." (Vince G.)

For example, rent the place, store the crap, pack the bag and maybe even ship the bike, go find a little cabin on the beach where a whole lunch at a roadside stop will cost you less than a diet coke back home. What's the experience? Good and bad. Oh. And if you are retired and living on the cheap somewhere, you can add to the collection of info too. Where do you live and how much does it cost to live on the cheap per day? What's the positives and negatives to your situation? Yeah. Yeah. You might catch malaria. But what's the odds of that? Yeah. Ok. You could be the next kidnap victim, but how often does that happen and how do you avoid it? Pics are welcome too. Show off a little.

Anyway, but the road to CDK commit fame does nowadays not require a full-fledged development environment. Instead, we have GitHub. Their web interfaces makes a lot of things easy, including source code peer review.
But in this post I would like to show how easy it is to fix small things in the CDK, by using the GitHub GUI. Of course, this post can be used for any project hosted on GitHub.
Step 1
Get a free GitHub account. (And log in.)
Step 2
Find a problem in the CDK. Start with something dead easy, like JavaDoc errors. For example, check the Nightly report for OpenJavaDocCheck errors here. These pages will return a lot of errors about missing documentation, but skip those. Do something really simple, like reports like this one:
There is no period to end the first sentence: 'Sums up the columns in a 2D int matrix'
JavaDoc has a special purpose with the first sentence in any JavaDoc: it serves as a summary. The detect the first sentence, it must properly end with a period.
That patch cannot get any easier. It just requires a missing period to be added.
Step 3
Identify the source file that contains the error. This has the added value in that you automatically learn your way around in the directory/folder hierarchy of the CDK project source. The above error refers to this class:
Now, all functional CDK code (that is, everything but the unit test suite) can be found in the source distribution under src/main, but we need the GitHub URL for that, and that is here (note that the linked OpenJavaDocCheck report is for the stable cdk-1.4.x branch, so our GitHub page for the PathTools source too):
Check this URL carefully, and note where it keeps the branch name, the src/main folder, and the path to the PathTools.java source. That makes finding other source code pages later easier. This particular page looks like:
Step 4
Now, this source code page has (when logged in) a 'Edit this file' icon right of the file name line. Click this icon, and GitHub will present you with a basic, in-browser editor:
I already scrolled down a bit, to the line with the missing period from this example. Make the modification, and scroll down to the lower part of the page, and read step 5.
Step 5
With the small fix done, it is time to make the actual commit. Below the editor there is a text field to enter a commit message (important: describe what you did, even if this takes more time than the fix itself! Reason: when browsing commits in changelogs, you only see those messages!):
If you have multiple JavaDoc fixes, put them in one commit. But, preferably do not mix them with other fixes, as to keep the commit message as well as the peer-review simple. That speeds up the reviewing process, and makes it easier for me and Rajarshi to apply to the main source tree, but more about that in the next steps.
Of course, this online editing can also be used for fixing PMD warnings, as reported by this Nightly report. However, keep in mind that you cannot recompile the code this way, and for code changes, this online approach is discouraged.
When done, press 'Propose File Change' (Rajarshi and I see a 'Commit Changes' button instead). After a new page is opened, the commit has been created, and it is time to inform us of your commit. This is done via a so-called 'pull request', as outlined in the next step.
Step 6
The last step in the process is to send out a pull request. A page to do this is normally the immediate result from hitting that 'Propose File Change' button, and should look something like the following (note that I could not make a screenshot based on the running CDK example, because I have commit rights, and the patch goes directly into the repository; I discovered that in this patch :):
So, while for another GitHub project (Total-Impact is worth checking out), this page should look similar. The top grey bar show the project name and the 'Send a pull request', confirming that this page does what we are expecting. In the blue box a comment is given on where your commit is stored, which is in your own fork of the CDK for your own GitHub account, in a branch called patch-x.
Below that blue box, reference is made to your newly-made commit, and a bit further below two text fields, a single line text box for a message 'subject' prefilled with the commit message, and a text box where you can leave a message to accompany the pull request. This message is used to put the pull request in perspective, and can be used to introduce yourself briefly, refer to a set of patches, or whatever. This message will not end up in the git repository. The more requests you make, the smaller this message will get. "Yeah, another JavaDoc fix."
Hit the green 'Send pull request' button, and you're done.

SomeSayShesNaive (1.5)The line between weird and good has been drawn....Jalix (4.5)A brilliant hellish and insane masterpiece that truly lives up to the hype....
Album Rating: 5.0Excellent review. I can't believe Nostalgia isn't one of your favourite songs
Very awesome album. The vocals are a bit crap but the rest is amazing.
Album Rating: 5.0I like my new method of review instead of the old track by track. Makes it easier to describe the album as a whole.
If you'll notice MR, I llisted 5 songs as my favorite off an album with only 12 songs total. One more and half the album would've been my favorite.
Yeah I like your new style too.
I hate track by tracks, i just review all the elements of the band like the guitar, drums and bass, vocals and lyrics.
I like how the vocalist could sound so tortured and anguish during the whole album. I just got this album yesterday and it's a bit hard to listen to at first but hopefully it'll grow on me more.
At first the singing kind of turned me off of this album, but recently I've given it another shot.
I can't say it's in my top 5 DM albums at the moment, but it is rapidly climbing up the ladder. I'm liking it more and more.
Great review.
Album Rating: 5.0Obscura
La vie est prélude
2 of the best DM songs ever.
and they're from QC.....
fuck yeah!
Album Rating: 4.0[quote=the review, silly]It blows None So Vile out of the water and I still consider that album a solid 4.5/5.[/quote]
This is quite a claim. Such a large claim, in fact, that I believe I'll have to check this album out.
Album Rating: 5.0Well duh. This album is one of my favorites of all time still. It may even have lasted longer than Lateralus at this point, seeing as how I turn that on these days and can't listen to more than one song.
Album Rating: 5.0I'm just posting to remind everyone how great 'Earthly Love' is!
I listened to this a while ago and it didn't appeal to me too much. It was weird stuff. Not terrible but not even close to None So Vile.
Album Rating: 4.0I dont think there's point in comparing Obscura with None so Vile since they dramatically differ from each other. Obscura is unique, I dont remember any other album to have such a sound. Does anyone know what effect was used on the bass?
I love the first track:
chug chug chug boom boom WAECH OOOM boom WAECH OOOM
Album Rating: 4.0EXACTLY! :lol: It's so crunchy and unlike what Pete said I love the solos.
Album Rating: 5.0Yeah, after going back I realize the solos are amazing. When I wrote this, I was obsessed with Necrophagist so my idea of a good solo was different.
It's been a while, so I'll give this another try. I'm definitely more into death metal now then I was back then.
Alright, so I'm listening to this now. Weird, strange, unusual stuff.
I'm enjoying this. This Message Edited On 12.24.05
Album Rating: 5.0Such a varied album, such trippy atmosphere, such emotion in some songs, such heaviness (the title track... woooh), such technicality...
Yeah. I love this. I think the best tracks are Obscura, Clouded and Nostalgia.
Album Rating: 5.0Clouded?! are you ferseryus? That track is awful. By far the worst on the album. It feels really half assed in comparison to the rest of the album, not because it's slower but because the it feels less thoughtout and interesting.

I like a PDF to have a route home, so that if it appears on another website, as they do, a user has a pointer back to whence it came. A link to just the review thread, or even the planning thread, suffices for that. So the full set of TN threads is a little work (even though only a little) for less gain.

To give you a general understanding of how our recruitment process works, we have outlined the basic steps below. In addition, you can expect local variations to our process from country to country.
We look forward to welcoming you!
The screening process
In the initial screening process, we screen and evaluate your application and CV. We look at your employment and career path patterns, education, extracurricular activities, accomplishments, results etc. Most importantly, we need to be able to evaluate whether the job matches your personal and professional qualifications. Furthermore, we need to be able to get a sense of you as a person before selecting the right candidates, who will progress to the personal interview.
Expectations during an interview
Our aim is to hire the right candidate with the right competencies to the right job, and this is what we cover during the interview. If you are invited for an interview, it is a good idea to be well prepared. You could gather relevant information about the current Grundfos company to show your understanding of our business.
During the interview, we expect to get to know you and your qualifications. We want to hear about your previous experience, your motivation, your results and your expectations to the new role. We expect this dialogue to be open and trustworthy as we base our decision on this dialogue
To provide you with the opportunity to decide if the job matches your expectations, we off course also provide you with insight into the framework and opportunities in the job, as well as in the team and department.
For some positions, you may be asked to complete an online personality profile test or prepare a case. You will always receive information about this before the interview.
If you have been chosen for the job, we collect references from previous employment in order to learn more about your results and collaboration. You will most likely be asked during or after the interview about potential references. Naturally, this only takes place in agreement with you. We will only contact current employers or background check if you are offered the job.
The next step
If we offer you the job, your new manager will contact you directly, and soon after that we will send you the contract. You will also receive a link to our online on-boarding platform called Hello to get you familiarised with Grundfos before your first day at work.
If you are not invited to an interview, we will let you know by email. If you have attended an interview, but will not be offered the job, you will be contacted by the recruiter directly.

World Water Week—an annual conference in Stockholm dedicated to discussing the management of global water resources—opened Monday with a message about cleaning your plate.
Food waste, according to experts at the conference, accounts for significant water waste.
A third to a half of all food grown globally either sits untouched on our plates or rots before it even gets there. A new report from the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) states that 40 percent of food purchased in the U.S. is thrown away. (And a new documentary called Taste the Waste highlights the problem—see the trailer below).
This is a horrible habit when you consider that nearly one billion people in the world already suffer from hunger and malnourishment.
The number of human mouths to feed is expected to grown by 2 billion before 2050 and the same amount of water we use today—often already found in scarce amounts in many places—will have to be stretched to support all of the food and energy needs that come with an expanding population.
This is why food security is inextricably linked to water security.
We currently use about 70 percent of available global freshwater to irrigate crops and produce food. A single burger takes 660 gallons (2,500 liters) of water to produce, with much of that used to irrigate livestock feed. (Check on the water footprints of other foods in our interactive: The Hidden Water We Use.)
Water losses through food waste occur at home, but they also happen through inefficient food harvesting, transport, distribution, processing, and storage methods. (Related: 365 Trillion Gallons of Water Thrown Away With Our Food Every Year.)
"Feeding everyone well is a primary challenge for this century. Overeating, undernourishment and waste are all on the rise and increased food production may face future constraints from water scarcity," said SIWI director of knowledge services Anders Jägerskog. "We will need a new recipe to feed the world in the future." Anders is the co-author of the new SIWI report: "Feeding a thirsty world: Challenges and opportunities for a water and food secure world."
Colin Chartres, Director-General of the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and the winner of the 2012 Stockholm Water Prize said during World Water Week's opening ceremony: "Feeding over nine billion people by 2050 is possible, but we have to reflect on the cost to the environment in terms of water withdrawals and land resources. … Saving water by reducing food waste, increasing productivity, plant breeding and waste water recycling are critical to all of us."
Not to mention improved irrigation. Sandra Postel, who leads National Geographic's Freshwater Initiative recently wrote a blog post for Water Currents about the promise of efficient drip irrigation systems. "As the world population climbs and water stress spreads around the globe, finding ways of getting more crop per drop to meet our food needs is among the most urgent of challenges," she wrote.
Launching today at the conference is a movie about the costs of food waste by German filmmaker Valentin Thurn. Watch the trailer for Taste the Waste:
And leading global water experts gathered this week in Stockholm issued a statement calling for prompt international action to reduce food waste. Below is their plea to the public and policy makers:
Taste the Waste of Water
No child to bed hungry
At the first World Food Conference, in Rome in 1974, Mr. Henry Kissinger made a laudable pledge, "In ten years' time no child will go to bed hungry". There was reason for optimism. For years, global food production increased faster than rate of population growth. The number of people suffering from undernourishment was gradually pushed back. Widespread use of high yielding varieties of seeds, massive investments in irrigation and other arrangements for increased production contributed to tangible returns for farmers as well as for consumers. For about two decades, the green revolution meant a boost to food security and livelihoods for hundreds of millions, primarily in Asia. Still, by the mid-1990s about half a billion was reported as undernourished. From then on, the number of people going to bed hungry started to increase, again.
Big surplus of food
Paradoxically, statistical information continued to show positive figures on food production and the amounts of food available on the market. Awesome figures on increasing numbers of people who are food insecure are related to poverty. Most of the bottom one billion has limited access to the food produced. For lack of money and bargaining power, they also lack access to other basic goods and services e.g. water.
This deplorable situation is remarkable in view of the fact that an estimated 1.3 billion tons of food produced is lost and wasted, corresponding to about 170 – 180 kilos per capita, year or about a third of what is produced. Overeating provides an equally uncomfortable comparison; 1.5 billion people over age 20 are overweight and obese.
But we are not just talking about food. We are talking about THE major use of water and especially the misuse of it. On average, it takes a liter of water for each kilocalorie raised. The daily diet of a poor person, which may be in the order of 1,800 to 2,000 kcal, costs in the order of one or two tons of water, while the amount of food that the rich people demand could take five tons and more. It's thus not just about wasting food that people need, it's about alleviating the shortage of water and make more worthwhile uses of a limited and highly variable resource possible.
High and multiple costs for limited gain
There is thus no shortage of food but rather a surplus. Naturally, it is essential to produce enough of food for a growing and increasingly wealthy population. But if a large chunk of the produce is lost, spoiled, discarded or in other ways misused, it makes sense to broaden the perspective and identify strategies that link production and sustainable diets for a growing population.
Purely in economic terms, the value of losses and waste is estimated at about £160 billion ($250 billion or 200 billion Euros). What company with an ambition to stay in business could accept production losses of the order of one third? It is simply not sensible to throw away every third or fourth item of products that have required so much effort and resources to produce. Why should consumers and decision makers accept it? While poor households spend a significant part of their disposable income on food, expenditure on food in rich countries is currently in the order of 10 – 15% of the household budget. But spending in shops is only one of the budget items. We also pay through our tax bills. Out of the EU's total budget of slightly less than 150 billion Euros (~ £118 billion or $187 billion) about 40% is used for agricultural policy. Subsidies, which are part of this policy tend to stimulate production irrespective of regional and global food security considerations. It is mindboggling that a conservative estimate of the economic value of the global food waste is higher than EU's total budget and almost double the total global development assistance.
Although the economic figures are staggering, the unnecessary high toll on natural resources and environmental implications are more worrisome. All food produced has consumed water, occupied land, contributed to greenhouse gas emissions and had other environmental impacts. These are real costs that may soon prove to be unacceptable since they erode the prospects for a sound and livable future for a large part of the world's burgeoning population.
A multiple win option at reasonable cost
It's time for a novel and much more pragmatic approach. What if we focused on what can be achieved, NOT ONLY by producing and supplying more but by making better use of what is available? If losses and waste of food are reduced by half, the potential water savings only from irrigation would be in the order of 450 cubic kilometers globally. That is equivalent to six times the annual flow of Nile water into Lake Nasser or more than half the amount of water used by the industrial sector globally. This precious water could be better used to support aquatic and other environmental functions and also used to satisfy other urgent needs in society. True, reduction in losses will require investments in transport, storage and improved market access, especially for small producers in poorer countries. But to not invest is also costly. The difficulties for farmers in poor areas in moving their produce to more distant markets due to a lack of safe storage and transport facilities are particularly detrimental and imply missed opportunities when they produce bumper harvests. Temporary surplus will often be lost due to pests, mold and other vagaries of nature. For the small producer to bring the surplus from a benign year to the local market only means price collapse.
The challenge is quite different in the rich parts of the world where waste at the end of the supply chain is a relatively bigger problem. Consumers play a major role in this regard but blame cannot be put on one party but rather on the interplay between farmers, consumers and food industry, retailers, restaurants and other food outlets. In the end, the burdens of the misuse of resources and the food produced are carried by the public. And we are all consumers.
Go ahead with good old pledges!
The level of global food waste and the associated consequences have reached absurd proportions. It is time to renew good old pledges. When the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, FAO, was established in 1945, it had reduction of food losses within its mandate. At the first World Food Conference, in 1974, reduction of post-harvest losses by 15% was suggested and it was agreed to bring about a 50% reduction by 1985. For various reasons the pledges have been silently disregarded and ignored.
Future starts now!
The good news is that several important actors are currently lining up in efforts to promote a resource saving society together with proper nourishment for a growing world population.
Recent initiatives are promising. For instance, reduction of food losses is an important item on FAO's agenda. In January 2012, a resolution was passed in the EU Parliament calling upon the EU members to halve food waste by 2025 and to take measures that would prevent the generation of such waste, for instance, through the reform of date labeling. Corporate sector initiatives are welcome.
The roadmap to a reduction of food losses and waste include: investments in storage for farmers, on site processing of food, improved roads and fair market access, better packaging, negotiations and awareness raising about real cost and real value of water and food, and not least, responsible consumer behavior in a world of finite and highly variable resources.
Reducing losses and waste of food, and thus water and other resources, requires joint and coordinated actions across the supply chain, from producers to the beneficial use of the produce and in dialogue with policy makers. The future of our children and grandchildren will be different to the past and contemporary situation. In a generation, some nine billion people will be living in a world with immense opportunities but also in a world where natural resource constraints and environmental dynamics more and more affect individuals and society. One of the most tangible consequences of global warming is that the availability of water will be increasingly variable while also demand for it will increase. A prodigious waste of food is simply not a sensible option in a desirable future.

Shopping cart0 itemsCheckout
Trevor Price is one of our long-term favourite artists - Trevor specialises in drypoints and etchings that are handmade and hand printed in his studios in London and St. Ives. For this exhibition, he has also created a new body of paintings.
Trevor studied at Falmouth and Winchester Schools of Art. He is a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. Trevor exhibits widely throughout Europe and has won several national printmaking awards. In 2011 at Printfest, the art fair dedicated to printmaking, he became the 'Printmaker of the Year'. His work is held in various collections including those by his Royal Highness Prince Michael of Kent, Victoria and Albert Museum (London), Ashmolean Museum (Oxford), Fitzwilliam Museum (Cambridge), Yinchuan Contemporary Art Museum (China), Guangdong Museum of Art (China), Yale University (USA), Office of Public Works (Dublin), University of Wales and Bank of England.
Trevor was commissioned in 2019 to produce his largest print to date (105x170cm) on the theme of The Silk Road, with the resulting work destined for Beijing and to hang in an exhibition in the National Art Museum of China later in the year.
Trevor's work will be shown with sculptures by Richard Jack. Richard was born in Zimbabwe and began his career as an artist in South Africa in the 70s. In 2002, he moved to the UK where he continues to exhibit both locally and internationally. He has been commissioned for both private and public sculptures in Zimbabwe, UK, Denmark and Germany.
Richard's figurative sculptures incorporate the mediums of wood, stone and steel. They are influenced by Africa and the times we live in. Contrasts of form, material and surface reflect the ambiguities of existence: the combination of strength and fragility, timelessness and the passage of time, the individual and the group. A recurring theme is the importance of the family, comforting and supporting one another in this rapidly changing world. In art, Richard has found the means to express his continually changing thoughts, imaginings and memories. It is about life, light and form - balanced, tense, suspended and under pressure.

Trevor Price works from studios in Bermondsey/London and St. Ives/Cornwall.
He was born in 1966 and grew up in Cornwall. He studied Printmaking at Falmouth and then Winchester School of Art. On leaving college he found work in a London etching studio, with this being a hugely important time, learning the skills of professional printmaking in the way of an old fashioned apprenticeship. On returning to Cornwall, Trevor based himself in St. Ives. Then in his mid-twenties, and with the artistic influences of St. Ives, his work began to change and develop. Trevor has since returned to London, but has maintained the St. Ives base, from where he also still works. The Cornwall, and chiefly St. Ives connection, naturally comes through in Trevor's work. He spends a lot of time in St. Ives drawing the surroundings. Understandably artists with a St. Ives connection, such as Ben Nicholson and William Scott, have a large influence on his work. Other artists that influence him include Picasso, Henry Moore, Elizabeth Frink and Cecil Collins.
Trevor's subject matter in some way is a reflection of his life. Some of the pieces are about the intimacy between a couple, and others show the normal obsessions of any man. Trevor describes himself as an artist/printmaker, and not just an artist. It is the opportunity to experiment and the diversity of technique that draws him to the medium. Printmaking can be as simple as making some scratches on a piece of metal and inking those grooves and the burr they create (drypoint), to highly sophisticated multi-plate etchings. Variations/experimentation in printmaking can be endless. At the moment most of his figurative prints are drypoints of one form or another, usually on zinc or Perspex. The images using Perspex are made by drawing on the surface with a soldering iron, and then printing from those marks.

Patadiya Wins District D
ASME oral presentation competition
Harikrishna Patadiya won the Old Guard Oral Competition at the 2013 District D ASME Student Professional Development Conference this past April. His presentation was on a knee replacement testing device, which was designed and built to simulate wear and tear on knee joints. According to Patadiya, the device is used to test synthetic knee joints by accelerating them through 5 million cycles, which is equivalent to about 5 years of walking. It conforms to the ISO 14243 standard, which specifies loading and displacement parameters for such devices.
The knee replacement testing device was a senior project in our department in the 2012-2013 academic year. The other students on the project team besides Harikrishna were: Erik Gillenwater, Jon Franklin, Hoang Le, William Ebert, and William Powell. The faculty project advisor was Dr. Raymond Yee. The faculty advisor for ASME is Dr. Winncy Du.
Patadiya will represent District D in the national Old Guard Oral Competition this November at the ASME 2013 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Expo, where he will compete for a $2000 prize. The Old Guard is a long-standing and prestigious ASME tradition.

Short answer, yes with an if. Long answer, no with a but.
How will potential injuries affect the production of the Leafs top forwards? Last year none of the Leafs top offensive forwards missed any time. 30 goal men Kessel and Kulemin played in all 82 games. Clarke MacArthur who led the team in points, also played in all 82 games. (Editors Note: As noted by Matt_Roberts, MacArthur was second in points behind Phil Kessel. Man Phil Kessel is awesome.) The Leafs MVP of last season, Mikhail Grabovski played in 81 games. He missed one game due to the birth of his child. In addition to an extremely healthy offensive core, both Luke Schenn and Tyler Bozak appeared in all 82 games as well. (Kaberle also played in every game while still with the team so he counts as half) How did the team compare to the rest of the league?
92 players appeared in all 82 games last season. 63 forwards and 29 defenseman. Carolina led the league with 6 players appearing in every game, Toronto ranked second with 5. Boston and Colorado were the only two teams without one player to appear in every game. While the NHL does not officially release man games lost, the stats are available. James Mirtle compiled a list ranking each team by total man games lost to injury.
Nassau Coliseum must be built on top of a mirror factory as they had lost an astonishing 512 Man Games Lost over 74 regular season games for an average of 6.92 MGL/G. Colorado was a distant second with 385 MGL over 72 regular season games, 5.35 MGL/G. A serious space-worm infection must have gone through the Carolina locker room as they had only 56 MGL over 72 games, that's only 0.78 MGL/G. It would also help to explain Jeff Skinner. The Leafs were in the middle of the pack ranking 21st with 166 MGL, 2.24/G. The average was 223 MGL over the games included. The Leafs were a healthier than average, but not immune to injury. As Mirtle explains, the list does not take into account who was injured only the total games lost. While the Leafs were lucky when it came to their top forwards, they did see some injuries throughout the season. Dion Phaneuf, J.S. Gigeure, Colby Armstrong, and Colton Orr all missed significant time with the club. Obviously the team benefits from having its top players play in as many games as possible, but injuries are inevitable. How many games can our top players afford to miss?
About 15. 62 GP seems to be something of a magic number. Last season, any player who scored over 25 goals played in at least 62 games. (other than Crosby, but he doesn't count for obvious reasons) All but three players- Datsyuk, Crosby, and Andy McDonald- who recorded over 50 points played in at least 62 games . Since the lockout only 15 players have put up more than 50 points while playing in fewer than 60 games. That number jumps to 211 among players playing 76 or fewer games. So long as our top forwards are able to play in at least 70 games their production will not be significantly affected. Should any of them miss significant time it will hopefully be mitigated by the depth added by Burke over last season and in the off-season.
Thanks to these additions the Leafs do not need to be as healthy as they were in 2010-2011. Last season injuries, trades, and a dearth of talent forced Joey Crabb, Daryl Boyce, and Keith Aulie into more prominent roles than they were qualified for. The additions of Connolly, Lupul, Kadri, Colborne, and potentially Lombardi give the Leafs some much needed depth at forward. The additions of Liles and Franson with Gardiner and Blacker able to fill in short-term will help mitigate any injuries on the blueline.
No, the Leafs will not be as healthy was they were last season. But, the top forwards can afford to miss up to 14 games without a significant drop in production, and the team has added players able to offset any production lost due to significant injury.

Globe Wharf 1937 was built in c.1883 by A.P. Keen and Co. as a granary, handling wheat, barley and rice. In 1924 Globe Wharf was converted for storing and milling rice by Thames Rice Milling.
Surrey Docks, Canals and Wharfs
Re: ROTHERHITHE,WHARFS & DOCKS.
When it was complete, Norway dock was connected to Greenland Dock, with no independent access to the Thames. All vessels using Norway Dock would first enter Greenland Dock and then enter through Norway Cut, the connection passage between the two.

Sailing vessels where called Onkers. This picture shows short planks being unloaded from an Onker onto a lighter at the Surrey Commercial Docks. In the London docks, Onkers were the last sailing ships to compete with the reign of steam.

Re: ROTHERHITHE,WHARFS & DOCKS.
Rotherhithe Street, Bermondsey, Yardley's Wharf and Matthew's Wharves.Yardley's Wharf is derelict and there is a truck in front of Matthew's Wharf with a sign 'Free Trade Wharf Co. Ltd'. These wharves no longer exist. They were destroyed in an air-raid in December 1940 and the site on which they stood is now part of King's Stairs Gardens.

Re: ROTHERHITHE,WHARFS & DOCKS.
In the 1850s Prince's Wharf was the timber-built base of a barge and boat builder, but by 1873 the entire Thames frontage at this point was made up of a series of wharves of varying sizes. By 1937 Prince's Wharf was a six-storey brick-built wharf next to Gordon's Wharf and linked to it by walkways. Both had been operated as granaries by Gillman and Spencer, which specialized in landing and bagging loose cereals and the manufacture of flaked maize and brewers' preservatives, but when the company was purchased by Pauls Malt Ltd in 1902 they also manufactured a product called Kositos, an animal feed.
