Robotic in-orbit servicers - The need for control moment gyroscopes for attitude control
Aeronautical Journal , Volume 108 - Issue 1082 p. 207- 214
Robotic in-orbit servicing has yet to be realised due to a number of technical difficulties. One such difficulty is analysed here. The requirement for force control in robotic manipulation imposes significant design requirements on space robots by virtue of the lack of a mounting platform to react against external forces and torques. The spacecraft attitude control system must effectively serve the same role as the ground in terrestrial manipulators. The reaction torques imposed on the spacecraft due to the manipulators is high when force control is used in grappling targets in space, limiting the choice of attititude actuator to control moment gyroscopes.

PARIS, April 20. /TASS/. French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has spoken out in favor of an international probe into the alleged chemical attack in Syria's Idlib province. She emphasized in an interview with the Europe-1 radio station on Thursday that putting the blame on someone before the beginning of the investigation will not make it possible to find out the truth about the incident.
- Russian Foreign Ministry says no steps taken to investigate chemical incident in Syria
- Chemical weapons watchdog confirms sarin or similar agent used in Khan Sheykhun
- Defense Ministry: No complaints about chemical incidents in Syria's Idlib
- Moscow calls for transparent investigation of Syria chemical incident
- US withholds info on Syria chemical attack because it proves nothing — Russian military
"A monstrous event occurred there, an international investigation is required," said the candidate from the National Front political party. "In their place (the UN Security Council - TASS), I would vote for initiating an international probe instead of putting forward accusations before the investigation as such, since this is the best way to shield oneself from the truth."
In response, the anchorperson recalled Le Pen's recent statement when she had called Russia's decision to veto the draft resolution on Syria in the UN Security Council "a problem." "It is necessary to submit a resolution that would clearly note the need for an international investigation and that would not contain hasty accusations, as simple as that," Le Pen elaborated.
On April 12, Russia vetoed the UN Security Council resolution condemning the alleged chemical attack in Syria's Khan Sheikhoun on April 4 and demanding that Damascus provide information on all sorties on that day. That was the eighth draft resolution on Syria blocked by Russia since the beginning of the conflict in that country in 2011.

It was apparent that the forest fire smoke from the Southern Interior of the Province had spread further Northward into the Skeena Valley. Visibility was cut down to about four to five kilometers, and it seems to be getting worse. It started just a day ago, but already Environment Canada has issue warning on their website. The funny thing about this is, I thought we might have escape the smoke due to the weather systems from off the Pacific Ocean, but with the 30C plus weather we are getting, this is not the case.
On the bright side, this will lower the temperatures during the day by a few degrees. Sadly, it will dull the summer day with smog.
My girlfriend said she is feeling the effects of the smog on her breathing. I can feel it too. Obviously this will end when the rain arrives–rumour has it next weekend when parts of a Pacific hurricane will hit us. Cannot wait for that!

Happy Lohri! Which is a Winter Solstice holiday in the Punjab, usually celebrated with a big bonfire! There are of course plenty of Lohri specific songs in Indian films, but they would be super hard to track down, plus I wouldn't like all of them! Instead, to celebrate this Punjabi holiday, I am just going to post my all time favorite Bhangra/Punjabi songs, counting down from number 5 to number 1. There are a lot of them, because there are a lot of Punjabi refugees who ended up in the Bombay film industry. Because they needed jobs, and also Punjabis are HOTT.
(This is a Repost from last year, the top 5 are the same, but I added and removed some of the bonus songs) Continue reading

ENBIS, the European Network for Business and Industrial Statistics, has launched the next JMP Challenge sponsored by JMP. You have until June 15 to submit your solution showing how to turn data into practical value.
The ENBIS Challenge by JMP is a yearly activity aimed at promoting sound practices of statistical modeling. In the past, participants competed against one another by submitting their solutions to a predefined problem using given data. This year's challenge is different: You can submit a solution to any data modeling problem using your own data. Everybody can participate, no matter if you are from industry or academia, regardless of where you live and whether you are ENBIS member or not.
Some rules apply, though:
The winners of up to three prizes will be announced during the ENBIS-13 conference in Ankara, Sept. 15-19. One special prize may be given for a creative solution using JMP tools.
Good luck!
There are no labels assigned to this post.
Mike Clayton wrote:
The latest JMP challenge should prompt massive response based on the request: " submit a solution to any data modeling problem using your own data."
Luckily a few added rules:
[Consider all aspects of the model-building process and focus on real-life business problems.
Be creative and smart. Use an innovative, simple but comprehensive approach.
No preset topic. No fixed submission format. Use any software tool.]
Does this apply only to numerical modeling, or does it include graphical modeling that deals with a real-life business problem and illuminates the solution without the need for numeric modeling of any kind? Most real business problems can be analyzed graphically, and solved, without building complex and opaque regression-type models.
Volker Kraft wrote:
Hi Mike,
the challenge rules do not explicitely ask for numerical modeling. In case you got your solution based on graphical modeling and consider this as a nice ENBIS challenge submission please go ahead.
In JMP, graphical exploration and numerical modeling typically go hand in hand, though.
Good luck,

The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) forecasts that passenger, light truck and truck tire demand will rise nearly 2 percent in 2014 to reach 302 million units. Though no one knows just how many there actually are, there are many times more tires accumulating in dumps in every nation around the world – a festering, growing threat to human and environmental health and safety.
Lehigh Technologies is on a mission to "green" the lifecycle of synthetic and rubber tires. Using a proprietary "green chemistry" process, Lehigh replaces petroleum-based materials by recycling discarded tires and turning them into micronized rubber powders (MRPs) that can be used to manufacture a wide range of rubber and plastic products – all manner of vehicle/transportation tires included. The benefits are numerous and manifold, from reducing manufacturers' operating costs to helping conserve tropical forests and ecosystems, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and helping alleviate air, soil and water pollution associated with waste tire dumps.
On Sept. 3, Lehigh announced that it had raised another $8 million in support of its efforts to expand geographically and realize the milestones established in its technology road map. Joining with earlier venture capital investors including Index Ventures, Florida Gulfshore Capital, Kleiner, Perkins, Caulfield & Byers, and Leaf Clean Energy, is Japan's JSR Corp., a $4 billion specialty chemicals company.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has forecast that by 2035 the number of vehicles on the world's roads will more than double and exceed 1.7 billion. Most of that growth will come from China and other large, rapidly industrializing nations.
Dependent on a wide variety of situation-specific factors, it's difficult to come up with an average life for tires. As a rough guideline, experts put the number anywhere from 20,000-80,000 miles – roughly from as little as 1.5 to as many as almost eight years' worth of driving for the average American.
"More than 240 million tires are thrown away each year in the United States. Fewer than 7 percent are recycled, 11 percent are burned for fuel, and 5 percent are exported. The remaining 78 percent are sent to landfills, stockpiled, or illegally dumped. That's almost 190 million old tires a year wasted in this country alone."
Lehigh operates the world's largest MRP production facility, capable of producing 140 million pounds of MRPs per year, according to management. Use of the company's MRPs extends to plastics, asphalt and construction materials.
Working with six of the world's ten largest tire manufacturers, more than 250 million discarded tires, and counting, have been manufactured using Lehigh's MRPs. In addition to the world's largest tire manufacturers, its customer base includes leading flooring manufacturers and their counterparts in construction materials, modular flooring and coatings.
In addition, Lehigh has invested in "best-in-class research and development facilities, where it works with customers to develop new and more advanced MRP formulations for high-value applications in the tire and rubber, plastics and asphalt industries, among others."
"These MRPs replace oil- and rubber-based feedstocks in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, including high performance tires, consumer and industrial plastics, consumer goods, coatings and sealants and construction materials. We tailor our PolyDyne™ and MicroDyne™ MRPs to our customers' needs to maximize benefits and optimize performance. We also offer our customers comprehensive Closed-Loop services."
"Commercial sales of MRP have been growing rapidly- over the past few years alone, we've demonstrated annual growth rates of 30 percent. Furthermore, we have made significant inroads into markets outside of the United States.
A $4 billion, multinational specialty chemicals company, JSR's business operations and relationships are extensive, particularly across the world's manufacturing hub: the Asia-Pacific region.
"Under the concept of E2 initiative, JSR is continuously seeking opportunities to contribute to low carbon society through Materials Innovation," added Koichi Kawasaki, JSR Corp. executive managing officer.
Dubbed E2 for short, JSR's sustainability initiative consists of two inter-related programs: Eco-innovation and Energy Management. Via E2, JSR aims to create value by developing environmentally-friendly products, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its manufacturing plants.
Investing in and partnering with Lehigh will help JSR realize both these aims. Expanding use of Lehigh's MRPs holds out the promise of significantly enhancing environmental sustainability across the tire market value chain by boosting low recycling rates, as well as boosting manufacturers' bottom lines.

Houston Marine's military interpreter finally reaches new home in Texas
Mohammed Younus Yousafzoy walked off Lufthansa Flight 440, bleary-eyed and dizzy from the two-day trip from Kabul.
Then the 24-year-old Afghan spotted his old boss, Mike Hudson, waiting for him, and smiled with surprise and happiness.
"When I saw him, I thought 'I have a family now,'" he said Thursday. "I don't have to worry."
For Hudson, a U.S. Marine Lt. Colonel now stationed at Ellington Joint Reserve Base, the relief was just as tangible.
"It was overwhelming," he said, of watching his old interpreter finally arrive.
The moment was four years in the making, a trip Hudson feared Yousafzoy might not live long enough to make.
Yousafzoy - who also goes by "Jay" - had begun translating for American-led forces in 2011, when he was 17. He started working as Hudson's interpreter in 2013.
They lived in the same forward operating base, supporting U.S. Army Special Operations teams trying to help local villages rid themselves of the Taliban. Now he'll be living in Hudson's suburban home in southeast Houston as he settles into a new culture and way of life.
"Jay is a special kind of guy," said Hudson, 44. "He didn't judge anybody. He was very honest, very forthright … He would represent me. They were judging me by what they'd see in him."
Yousafzoy arrived at Bush Intercontinental Airport Wednesday after receiving a special immigrant visa available to interpreters and others who helped the U.S. military in Afghanistan and Iraq. The visas were first approved by Congress in 2009 under the Afghan Allies Protection Act, but have dwindled in recent years.
The delays have left thousands of former interpreters - who risked their lives to help the U.S. military since 2001 - waiting to get out of the countries where their support has now exposed them to additional dangers and violence.
The average processing time for a special immigrant visa is now more than 900 days, said Henrike Dessaules, with the New York-based International Refugee Assistance Project.
"Every day is of the essence, so any delay like that could be the death sentence for one of our clients," she said.
Yousafzoy wanted to come to Texas because of Hudson and his family but also because he'd heard of its reputation for diversity, of opportunities for immigrants - and because of the heat.
'He never wavered'
In Kandahar, Yousafzoy and Hudson worked side by side, coaxing governors of local districts to improve conditions for farmers so they could grow crops besides poppies. They encouraged officials from the United Arab Emirates to invest in Afghanistan to visiting local villagers.
They worked together to coordinate with local police and military to try to improve security.
On his off time, Yousafzoy studied and lifted weights.
Six months later, in 2013, Hudson returned home from Afghanistan. Soon after, Hudson got a panicked email from Yousafzoy.
His application for a special interpreters visa had been held up. What should he do and could Hudson help?
Hudson wrote letters to the State Department and contacted the embassy in Kabul, but couldn't get any answers.
"It's definitely something that kept me up at night," Hudson said. "Other interpreters I worked with before - none of them are alive. I didn't want to see that happen again."
Almost two years later, Hudson returned to Afghanistan on another deployment. He got Yousafzoy rescreened and then hired him for a new assignment with a group of advisors training Afghan commandos and special forces.
He figured that assignment would keep Yousafzoy safe. Then he sought help from lawyers in Chicago and from the International Refugee Assistance Project.
More than 9,000 applicants are still waiting for their visas, according to a U.S. government report issued in September on the status of the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa Program.
The List Project to Resettle Iraqi Allies, meanwhile, estimates more than 1,000 Iraqi interpreters died at the hands of anti-government terror groups. Unknown others have died in Afghanistan.
Yousafzoy got word in October that his visa had come through.
"Our client never wavered - he just never wavered," said Julie Fournier, an attorney with Chicago-based Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg firm, which handled his case.
Yousafzoy told his parents he'd been approved. His mother - who has diabetes and fainting spells - was happy he would be safe, but sad he was going so far away.
"It was hard for me to let her go," Yousafzoy said. He didn't let her accompany him to the airport because he worried she might become so distraught she'd collapse.
He said goodbye to his four sisters - the youngest is seven - and two brothers, and packed his bags. Then came the trip, through Dubai and Frankfurt and on to Houston, where he met Hudson, his wife, Cristela, and Yullina, their 7-year-old daughter.
'Everything is new'
Thirty-nine minutes after he landed in Texas, two days after he left Kabul and four years after he first applied to come to the United States, Yousafzoy walked out of Bush airport with his mentor.
In Hudson's blue Honda Odyssey, they drove the 40 minutes to Hudson's spacious home in southeast Houston - a quick trip, Yousafzoy thought, compared to the clogged arteries of Kabul.
He carried his backpack and two other bags into the second-floor bedroom and dropped them on the thick carpet.
He knew there would be much to do over the next few days. A caseworker from Catholic Charities would be by Thursday, to show him around town, and help him obtain his Social Security card, his drivers license, and everything else he'd need to begin life as an immigrant in the U.S.
On Saturday, the Hudsons plan to pick up a Christmas tree.
Yousafzoy had to figure out his education, as well. Because of his job, he stopped attending school in the 10th grade but took annual exams, instead.
"I'd love to go back to school," he said.
And he wants to find a local gym to continue the bodybuilding regimen that has left him able to squat 450 pounds and bench 125-pound dumbbells.
But first came dinner - Texas barbecue. Downstairs, there'd be smoked chicken, macaroni and cheese, Spanish rice - he'd tried that before - and some brisket.
And there were neighbors to meet.
A new town. A new country. A lot to take in.
"I'm sure I'll have some thoughts soon," he said, smiling. "But now I don't ... Everything is new."

Europe's most perfect city break? Readers' tales from Amsterdam
This week's winning entry
Wagner and laid-back jazz: our honeymoon playlist
Hailstones the size of golf balls were pinging off the cobblestones as we scuttled over a narrow bridge straddling the Herengracht, one of the three main canals in Amsterdam. Fortunately, we found refuge in the Concertgebouw, where Wagner was battling the elements. Wagner won, and the storm subsided. Later, we ate rijsttafel, a multi-course culinary blowout from Indonesia.
Later still, we sipped genever in a smoky-brown crowded room where the jazz was as laid-back as the clientele and the mushrooms were magic. As dawn crept over the now-silent canals, we carefully picked our way back to our room. It was in a two-star hotel, but it had been a five-star night.
Eighteen hours earlier, we had married in Dublin's University Church. This was our honeymoon; we were in love, in Amsterdam and it was 45 years ago.

Travelling back in time with Amsterdam's over-60s
I stumbled upon De Pilsener Club, on Begijnensteeg, in the middle of a day of pavement pounding. The pub has been in business since the end of the 19th century and in the owner's family for four generations (they all share the same first name, so four men called Teun van Veen).
- Read more: Expert guide to Amsterdam
Stepping over the threshold is like travelling back in time, the sanded floorboards and tables pockmarked through years of use. Given the early hour (for a pub, anyway) I expected to have to drink alone – but it turns out it's a popular afternoon meeting place for Amsterdam's over-60s.

A slice of life on a journey through the Waterland
Picking the sunniest weekend of the summer – in August – gave us the chance to see Amsterdam at its best. Just outside the city, towards the coast, Waterland is an area of reclaimed land dotted with small towns and villages. Among these, 20 minutes by bus from Amsterdam, lies Edam – famous for its cheese.
We arrived in this quaint town, with its small independent shops and cafés, just in time to see a groom and his best man in wedding suits raise the sail and take out a small skiff to attend the ceremony. We lunched at the Hotel De Fortuna, by the water's edge, and watched the sailors and rowers lift the hand bridges to get their craft along the canal. The groom reappeared, this time with his radiant new bride, and sailed past beaming and waving joyously.

How the Luther Trail led to the perfect city break
In the Nineties we followed the "Luther Trail" across northern Germany, ending our trip with three memorable days in Amsterdam. We arrived at Hotel Central Park in the early evening and it was lovely – traditional and quiet – yet only a few tram stops from the city centre.
We loved the Rijksmuseum and took the obligatory canal cruise on a glass-roofed boat. Eating out is an adventure, with diverse cuisines; we found a family-run Italian called La Maschera Lillotatini, with great atmosphere and food. Amsterdam's compact centre, excellent trams and multiculturalism make a city break there a must. We also loved the flea markets, the inviting cafés, and just strolling over the many bridges.

Meeting the mayor at the Rijksmuseum
On our first morning in Amsterdam, from the hotel window, we watched mothers taking their children to school on the backs and fronts of bicycles. Later, at Aalsmeer Flower Market, we saw blooms auctioned in a complex way. That evening there was a drinks party at the Rijksmuseum, hosted by the mayor. Afterwards he put his chain of office in his basket and pedalled off.

History, Rembrandt and a chateaubriand to remember
In February 1979 my future wife and I made our first trip to Amsterdam. The extreme cold had led to frozen canals, snow and ice-covered roads and footpaths – but we battled on.
The Anne Frank House was a must. We saw Rembrandt's The Night Watch, diamond cutting and of course the city's red-light district. Evening found us in a small bistro down a narrow street off Dam Square. We ordered medium-rare chateaubriand served by the patron – in white shirt, black waistcoat and apron – who sliced the meat himself. A whiff of oxygen would have seen it walk again.
"A little too rare," he admitted. Then, with a flourish, he conducted a spectacular flambé at the table; it was one of our best meals ever. No visit since has matched our first.
John Watson, West Yorkshire
An accidental encounter with Caravaggio
I was blown away by the orderly exodus of evening commuters in Amsterdam, and wondered how they found their bicycles so easily among the wheeled mass at the station. One of the great joys of being in the city was entering an unprepossessing building which was actually a small museum, to discover that it housed some paintings by Caravaggio and many other beautiful works of art.
Throughout, I was made to feel welcome by courteous and friendly people who had a general air of happiness about them. I relished the freedom of safe cycling in the city, too.

Take to the water for the festival of lights
I took a canal boat ride in Amsterdam during the festival of lights, and it was wonderful: illuminated statues in the water, whole buildings lit up, laser installations, animations, even chandeliers over the canal! There was a new sight around every canal bend.
Afterwards I went to Dam Square, where a funfair was in full swing. It was an evening of fascinating contrasts – and hugely enjoyable.
Alex Feehely, Surrey
Glimpses of royalty and moving mannequins
Amsterdam was our final destination on a cruise. Both first-timers, we fell in love with the wonky old canalside houses and took in most of the sights in one hit with a hop on/hop off bus tour.
Approaching the finish via Dam Square, we were curious to know what was holding up the traffic. As we crept past the front of the royal palace, police sirens announced the arrival of a limousine cavalcade. Looking back, we caught a fleeting glimpse of a glamorous blonde emerging from one car and realised we'd seen the queen.
We encountered an entirely different world when taking a shortcut back to our hotel; down a dimly lit street my husband glanced through a smoky window and said naively: "I'm sure one of those mannequins moved."

Seeing in the New Year with fireworks – and diamonds
We once spent the New Year period in Amsterdam, staying in our friends' flat close to the Anne Frank House. One day, on the pretext of purchasing a late Christmas present, we were given a private tour of one of the city's many diamond houses; it was jaw-dropping. The prices were way out of our league, of course – but we never let on.
We shopped till we dropped (there are so many wonderful markets); we skated on the ice rink in front of the Rijksmuseum and celebrated New Year's Eve fireworks in Dam Square with thousands of people. Every household let off fireworks from their doorsteps; the noise went on all night.
The next day we took a bus up to Volendam. I remember the steaming bowls of green pea soup we hungrily downed in a riverside café, a warming antidote to the winter chill.

I am running into a problem with downloading TD Studio 15 in that the 2nd step asks for my JRE directory. I know that I have JAVA 1.7, but I cannot find the right directory to move the install forward. Please advise.
David, It depends which OS version are you running? Also, if Windows, is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

Colossians 1: 3-12
John 20: 1-31
I've always enjoyed this little tidbit about the resurrection story. Mary doesn't recognize Jesus there at that tomb, she mistakes him for the gardener. I like the idea of the place where Jesus is buried having a gardener whom Mary would have mistaken Jesus for. But there it is, in the text. John doesn't mention this to simply describe what happened there at the tomb, either.
Her mistake has meaning. None of thes seemingly trivial descriptions in the gospels is simply a trivial description. And to get to the root of this particular instance, we can use a Bible study method called the "Principle of first mention." When you come across phrases that seem superfluous in the Bible, it is helpful to go to back in the Bible to see if that same word is used elsewhere.
This helps us see the writer's intentions a little more, and if many references go back to a particular book in the Bible, we begin to see a pattern emerge that help us paint a picture of Jesus according to how that gospel writer may have seen him. Matthew, for instance, draws parallel after parallel to the Moses story in Exodus, because he wants us to see Jesus as the new Moses. Matthew is the only gospel writer who claims that Jesus and his family escaped to Egypt. This is probably because Matthew wants us to have Jesus literally coming out of Egypt like Moses did so we can see how Jesus leads us out of the slavery to sin and death much like Moses led his people to freedom and out of slavery as well.
John, on the other hand, makes numerous references to the Genesis story of creation. His gospel begins, "In the Beginning," just as Genesis begins with "in the beginning." He is painting his picture of Jesus and the good news using the colors found in the palate of Genesis. For what it's worth, and for whatever reason, I see those colors as Green and Blues when thinking about Genesis and John and I see reds and golds when thinking about Exodus and Matthew. These aren't the only instances of this kind of thing, but it gives us an idea of what is meant by the "principle of first mention."
First mention of love is in John 3:16. First mention in the Bible is in Gen 22, God tells Abraham to take Isaac and offer him as a sacrifice. John wants us to draw a parallel in our mind between the love God the father giving the world Jesus to the love of Abraham and his willingness to give his own son, whom he loved, as a sacrifice for God. John reverses the Genesis story—instead of God demanding a son for sacrifice, he gives his one and only son as a sacrifice.
In our resurrection story, Jesus is raised in a garden on the "first day of the week," and is mistaken by Mary as a "gardener." Clearly, John wants us to be thinking "garden." Why? Genesis 2 is the first mention in the bible of a garden. It is the garden of Eden, where humans choose to live outside the way that God created them to live and death enters the picture and paradise is lost.
John wants us to see Jesus as the "new Adam" and the world with the risen Christ as a "new creation." That's why Jesus is raised on the "First day of the week." It mirrors God's creation story, which obviously started on the first day of the week! In fact, the "second Adam" is how Paul refers to Jesus in Romans and Corinthians. There is a new Adam on the scene. What happened in the first Garden, the curse of death, is now being conquered through Jesus. Jesus is renewing God's plans for the world.
IF you go to Genesis, we see that the things God makes are Good. What does God do with God's good creation? He endows them with the ability to produce plants and trees and everything else. God empowers creation to make more.
Back to John for a moment, what does Jesus do when he comes through the locked doors and meets the disciples face to face after the resurrection? He Breathes on them. This points to Genesis story. Here Jesus is endowing the disciples with the ability to make more! God's Spirit hovers over the waters in Genesis, God's breath hovers over the waters and gives creative potential. And in the story of the resurrection, God's Spirit once again is blown directly into the disciples, giving them the ability to progress and grow and become who God intends them to be. God gives the same gift of breath in the garden story in Genesis, when he breathes into the nostrils of the human figure that he had fashioned, and the text tells us, "he became a living being."
God doesn't want everything the way it was, God's vision grows and moves and progresses. You can see this in the first couple and the last couple chapters of the Bible. In the first chapters, we see God's ideal as this peaceful, idyllic garden. IN the last couple chapters of the Bible, in the book of revelation, we see what descending from heaven to Earth? A city! And just in case we miss it, just in case we think John is speaking about something else entirely, what do we see there in the midst of the city? The tree of everlasting life! Yes, that same tree that God kicks Adam and Eve out of the original garden so that they don't eat from it.
Just in case you're confused, because our popular imagery of the Garden of Eden is that there is one tree that we eat from and therefore are kicked out of paradise, the story tells us that there are two trees, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which we eat from and disrupt God's covenant, and then there's the Tree of Everlasting Life, which God worries that Adam and Eve will eat from after having the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil and will then become divine. See Genesis 3:22.
But the book of Revelation tells us that the tree of life is given for the healing of the nations, and that we are given the right to eat from the tree of life as those who have come to know the gardener. Yes, the gardener, whom Mary goes to the tomb and "mistakes" Jesus for. Indeed, Jesus is the gardener. He is the gardener who lovingly tends the Tree of Life, ensuring that tree is healthy and growing, nourished and watered. He is the gardener who ensures that the fruit of this tree is ripening in our lives! He is offering the fruit of the tree through his very words and through his words alive in the lives of his followers. It is Paul who talked about "bearing fruit" in our lives. Paul speaks about the good news "growing" in and through the disciples in Collosae. He describes his hope that they continue "bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God."
So, what Jesus is doing by "breathing on his disciples," is sharing his Spirit with them, he's the gardener nourishing the tree of life that brings forth fruit in the lives of the disciples who will share his message of hope and redemption and life.
The peace that he shares with his disciples is the "first fruits" of what is to come. Through that peace shared with his disciples, he intends that "creation" to grow and change and take on a life of its own and eventually be the hope for peace over the whole world. Twice he says, "peace unto you" to the disciples. It's like he's giving them a second helping. It is like many of us who returned to the Easter banquet buffet for another go round. He's loading the disciples full of creative potential just like God creates the earth in the Genesis story and then loads it with potential, saying, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds."
God creates by endowing creation with potential to create. God sings, "Let the earth bring forth vegetation and animals, let the seas bring forth swimming things and birds." After the earth and sea has brought forth these things, he rejoices in their goodness and then commands them to be fruitful and multiply. The living things should create as well. Jesus is making new creations, and is giving them peace so that they will multiply it in the world. He's giving them the first fruits of the tree of life, so that they might bear fruit in their own lives.
This is also why Jesus does all he can to help the disciples have confidence in the truth and reality of the new creating creations they are. He comes back for Thomas, who had missed the first appearance, and offers his hands and side for Thomas to touch and believe.
We oftentimes think of this as a story about how Thomas' faith wasn't good enough because he needed physical evidence, but what I hear the story saying is that Christ meets us where we are and gives us reason to believe. What is important is the fruit, and Jesus wants Thomas to be a branch of his vine as well. He wants Thomas to multiply peace and life and redemption. So, he comes to Thomas and gives him what he needs to bear that fruit.
Thomas falls to his knees and says "My Lord and my God." This is the first time in the Gospels where Jesus is addressed as the Divinity. And it also happens to be the same address that those living in the Roman world were expected to give to the Caesar. This proclamation of Thomas' would have been heard as a bold political statement in the first century.
It shows us that the peace that Christ gives us is not intended to be a peace that we may tend to picture as simply the "absence of conflict." Peace, or Shalom in Hebrew involves unfolding grace. Peace is not neutral, it is positive. It overcomes violence instead of simply waiting until violence dies down. It is creative, it is active. Peace, in the Roman times and in ours, does not wait on the powers and principalities. It boldly proclaims the truth in the face of the liars who masquerade as "My Lord and My God."
I'm getting an HBO trial right now, so I've been recording several movies on our DVR that we'll be able to watch when we get the time. One of the movies that I recorded is called, "The Constant Gardner." I haven't watched it yet, but the title reminds me of whom Jesus is in this passage and in the life of faith. Christ, risen from the dead, is now the constant gardener, endlessly tending the tree of life and the nourishing our lives so that we might bear fruit for the glory of God. Jesus Christ breathes on us with the same commissioning Holy Spirit that Jesus breathed on those original disciples in that locked room. Christ is alive and risen, nurturing our faith, presenting himself to us so that we might believe.

Resources for HSC students in their study of Akhenaten in the context of his time.
You will need a State Library Of NSW card to access this article. The article discusses archaeological excavations undertaken in the ancient city of Amarna in Egypt. Built by the 18th Dynasty pharaoh Akhenaten, the city's many murals and ancient reliefs depict it as a place of earthly delights. Research by various archaeologists, however, including Barry Kemp, Anna Stevens and Jerome Rose, has found that the city's poor communities endured hunger and malnutrition, performed backbreaking manual labor, and bore the signs of a generally grim life.You are here :: Home › Using the Library › Search our collections › eresources
Again, you will need your State library Card to access this article. It discusses religion in Egypt before and during the reign of Akhenaten and the consolidation of power in his family.
Dynasty 18, reign of Akhenaten (ca. 1353-1336 B.C.) Akhenaten's daughters The demonstration of affection in this detail depicting two of Akhenatens daughters is typical of representations of the royal family during the Amarna period.
Good quality photographs of artefacts from the Amen period.
Shows samples of archaeological finds and what they represent
A photoshop reconstruction of what Akhenaten probably looked like
A good overview of the period.
This mottled red granite fragment (16.5 cm in lenth) is part of smaller-than-life-size statue of Akhenaten, shown supporting a rectangular offering table. It comes from Flinders Petrie's excavations at Amarna between 1891 and 1892, supported by Jesse Haworth. Like most Amarna sculptural material, this statue is badly broken - the result of the intense persecution...
An overview of the reign of Akhenate. Particular focus is the religous and the artistic developments of the timeAkhenaten is a source of endless fascination and speculation - this often masks the fact that we actually know very little about him. Dr Kate Spence explores the enigmatic story of Egypt's 'heretic' king.
Good overview.
Akhenaten (r. 1353-1336 BCE) was a pharaoh of Egypt of the 18th Dynasty. He is also known as
Akhenaton' orIkhnaton' and also
Khuenaten', all of which are translated to meansuccessful for' or `of great use to' the god Aten. Akhenaten chose this name for himself after his conversion to the cult of Aten.
**Akhenaten, also known as Amenhotep IV, was king of Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty and reigned from 1375 to 1358 B.C. E. Called the "religious revolutionary," he is the earliest known creator of a new religion. The cult he founded broke with Egypt's traditional polytheism and focused its worship on a single deity, the sun god Aten.

Lee Janogly: Meet the superfit grandmother of seven!
-Jan 17, Hannah Hargrave, Living -
Lee Janogly is a grandmother of seven, a personal trainer, fitness instructor and best-selling author who is almost 80. The remarkably fit diet coach talks to Lumity about keeping in shape and why it's never too late to find a workout for you.
Lee Janogly, who is pictured below, is a force to be reckoned with. She tells us that she is far from "typical" and her no nonsense approach to exercise and wellness has kept her – and her clients – looking and feeling fantastic, well into their 80s and beyond.
'I teach eight classes a week'
"If you exercise it makes such a difference," says Lee. "You move in a different way, your posture is better and you stride out. You can run, jump and do everything and that also gives the impression of being younger."
When asked what her weeks generally entail she breaks down a pretty impressive timetable.
"I still teach. I teach about eight classes a week and I also do one-to-one personal training."
"I can still do a tough aerobic class"
"If I'm not teaching a class for some reason I'll go and try out a class somewhere else instead. I like to challenge myself and go to a class that's more difficult. I might be the oldest there but it's good that I can keep up. I can still do a tough aerobic class or a body conditioning class with weights and that makes me feel great."
Some of Lee's clients have been going to her classes for more than 40 years and she credits her regular cardio, stretch and flexibility routines for keeping them fit.
'Some of my clients are in their 80s'
"I teach older people," Lee explains. "So most of them are in their 70s but I have three who are in their 80s too. Because they've been coming to me for 40 years or more they are still very fit.
"We have an aerobic warm up with grapevine and leg curls. We do plenty of squats that get your heart rate up. We stretch, workout our arms with weights and stay flexible with some fun dance moves. We always have a session of tough abs too."
'Be prepared to exercise on a regular basis'
Lee clearly loves exercise and has been doing it for decades, but is it ever too late to find a passion for keeping in shape?
"Find something you are prepared to do, but you don't hate," suggests Lee. "I mean if you turn up at a gym and you take one look at all those machines and it looks like a torture chamber you won't go back again.
"Lots of people are finding they like the '50 Plus' which is happening in gyms all over the place now. Don't worry if you can't get all the steps right away because it does take a few visits.
Experiment, go swimming, kick boxing, walk. Whatever it is, you have to be prepared to do it on a regular basis."
'Exercise isn't just for the body'
Lee swears that working out regularly will help your body and your mind too.
"Exercise is brilliant for lifting your spirits because everyone gets down now and then. But after a good session, especially with good music, you come out of there feeling so much better."
Of course she preaches the benefits of eating healthy food too. Two of the most popular books that she's written are, 'Stop Bingeing' and 'Only Fat People Skip Breakfast'.
'I'm careful about what I eat'
Lee insists she's not about dieting as such but she is about the philosophy of 'Living Slim' and enjoys guiding people who are struggling with their weight with her common-sense approach.
"I'm careful," she says of her own diet. "I chose food for health. But I'm not fanatical. If I fancy an ice cream I'll have it. Just not every day."
When she isn't writing, exercising or providing guidance she keeps young with her grandchildren.
"The youngest is 11 now so I only see the in the school holidays," she says. "But they all keep fit too so one thing we all love to do is make up dance routines in my studio."
'Learning something new keeps you young'
Lee is determined to stay active as long as humanly possible and hopes other members of the older generation will find her inspiring enough to get off the sofa.
"There are old people of all shapes and sizes doing it, so men and women should think, why can't I? It's a great way of making new friends you learn something new too.
"If you base your age and what you are capable of on the other people your age who are inactive and sitting around gaining weight then you don't see the other side of it. There are lots of older people who are in shape and it's about time people focus on them."

Treasure That Lasts
Trading Privilege, Pleasure, and Power for What Really Matters
- Description
- Author
- Info
- Reviews
We are surrounded by the temptation to glorify ourselves. We post carefully curated selfies on Instagram, chase money and pleasure, and live the "image is everything" lifestyle. We've created a culture of envy, emptiness, and depression. Even the church has bought into worldly values of wealth and status. God put us on this earth not to seek our own glory but to shine the light of his glory on a dying world.
Through the life of Moses, pastor and author Michael Youssef shows us how to store up treasure that lasts by living for God's glory. Moses turned his back on privilege, pleasure, and power to invest in treasure that lasts--the treasure of God's glory. His goal must be our goal as well.
Experience the rich life God intended for you. If you're not sure you've truly surrendered your whole life to God, let Treasure That Lasts be the flame that lights the way to reliance on him.
This book includes a chapter-by-chapter guide for group discussion or individual study.

Music Hall, city to partner on $800K streetscape, archway
Seacoast Online | March 22, 2016 | By Jeff McMenemy
The Music Hall, in partnership with the city, is launching an $800,000 project to upgrade the Chestnut Street streetscape around the historic theater.
Patricia Lynch, executive director of The Music Hall, said the project will address unsafe sidewalks around the building, awkward access for pedestrians, buses and handicapped patrons and "provide us with some very much-needed visibility."
A key piece to improve visibility is The Music Hall's proposal to erect a "way-finding arch that will connect the African Burial Ground and Vaughan Mall to the Northern Tier," Lynch said during a presentation to the City Council on Monday night.
"We think this partnership creates an elegant solution, a pedestrian-friendly street that allows for patron drop-off and loading, (and) improved turning radius for emergency vehicles on Chestnut Street," Lynch said.
She noted that "both The Music Hall and the African Burial Ground are hard to find from downtown unless you already know where they are."
The proposed illuminated arch will span Chestnut Street at Congress Street and the opening will face the Vaughan Mall. It would serve as an entry to Chestnut Street from Congress Street, one of the busiest roadways downtown.
The proposed way-finding arch — which The Music Hall would pay for — "creates visibility to city treasures and builds on a city history of archways," Lynch said Monday night.
Ben Auger, a member of The Music Hall's Board of Trustees and chairman of the facilities committee, told city councilors "we've actually been working on this for at least eight years with the city and we're working with multiple local firms."
"We've had more than several meetings with different city departments about these proposals and gotten feedback," Auger said.
Music Hall representatives have also spoken to abutters of the 1878 theater and they "are on board and enthusiastic," he said.
The improvements include a new level paving pattern around the entrance to the Music Hall and "trees and greenery and … seating areas," Auger said.
"It's a very safe and pleasant gathering area," Auger said Monday night.
The "50/50 partnership" calls for the Music Hall to pay for $400,000 of the streetscape improvements and the city to pay for $400,000 from money that has already been approved in its capital improvement plan, Lynch said.
In addition to the partnership part of the project, The Music Hall will be independently taking on a renovation project "that (is) not tied directly to the streetscape but they are related and they would be done in tandem," Lynch said.
That means upgrading the exterior of the historic theater, including fixing the trim and the windows and replacing the "damaged marquee that is now plywood with a vintage inspired illuminated marquee similar to what was there in the 1900s," she added.
"As with the arch, it will be completely funded by The Music Hall's capital campaign," Lynch said.
The City Council voted unanimously to move the proposal to Art-Speak, the city's cultural commission, to authorize The Music Hall to proceed with a project review by the Historic District Commission, the Parking, Traffic and Safety Committee and the Trees and Greenery Committee.
The City Council will ultimately decide whether to approve the project, according to Mayor Jack Blalock.
City Councilor Nancy Pearson, the executive director of Art-Speak, called the project "a really important endeavor for one of Portsmouth's anchor arts and cultural organizations."
"This is the first encounter so many people have with our city, and if it's dangerous and awkward and they're slipping and it's dark, that's not a wonderful first impression," Pearson said.
Blalock praised the proposed project, saying he's delighted in seeing the rebirth of what was once a movie theater "in the past several years."
"What a beautiful place it is and what a beautiful theater," Blalock said during Monday night's council meeting.

RE: Redz Surfboard« on: May 02 2010 00:05:760 »
The owner and shaper of Redz Surfboards is Patrick Napoli. I have a few boards from Redz. I usually customise my boards, giving Patrick my specific dimensions for each board. Depending on the conditions some boards work just fine. I just had one customised with carbon-fiber rails and it's fast and turns well! Again, a lot of factor comes into the picture, wave condition, surfer style, board shape, etc. I am not vouching for Patrick but some of my Singaporean friends have a whole quiver from Redz and we've surfed them in Desaru and Bali and they are fantastic boards! I've also heard some people complaining about his boards so it's really a hit and miss when choosing a board. You may want to look at Bruce Hansel surfboards as well. They are also pretty good!

Hi Alan!
Good to hear that. I also plan to have carbon fiber rails, but since i don't really surf too much, may be 5-6 times a year, i don't really bother having those rails. Haha. About bruce hansel surfboard, where can i collect it if i were to buy a custom surfboard from him. Any idea?

I've just come back from Bali with my custom Redz Board and it's brilliant. I got a 6'10 Mega Fish, it's super fast and responsive but also really easy to paddle too. I had it made with a bamboo veneer face and carbon fiber rails, in a 5 fin set up. I'm really happy with the board
I found Redz to be really helpful and good to deal with. The owner Patric gave me a look through the factory. They also made me a custom triple board bag for a fraction of the price it would have cost at home too!
My next board will be a Redz!

- Lets Go Racing channel recaps 12-day USA motorsport tour
- 10-part YouTube series takes viewers behind the scenes
- Series follows the journey of 10 leading gamers including winner James Baldwin
- Series brings together Torque Esports-owned properties World's Fastest Gamer and Lets Go Racing
SILVERSTONE, UK, (Thursday, November 7, 2019) – The innovative World's Fastest Gamer #GamerToRacer competition today launches a behind-the-scenes YouTube series with leading motorsport and gaming channel, Lets Go Racing.
World's Fastest Gamer took ten of the greatest esports racers from around the world to the US for a 12-day non-stop motorsport tour.
From Las Vegas to Los Angeles; up the California coast to San Francisco and back to Vegas – the 10 gamers were tested in game and on track to find the best of the best.
While Las Vegas is renowned for its famous saying "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" – that won't be the case for World's Fastest Gamer.
In addition to a six-part documentary series headed to TV screens in 2020, the race to earn a real-world, full-time race seat won by British gamer James Baldwin will be showcased online on YouTube on Lets Go Racing in "Behind the Scenes of WFG".
The 10-part series is hosted by renowned esports shoutcaster and amatuer Canadian racer Matt "@Sadokist" Trivett. He and the Lets Go Racing YouTube team followed Baldwin and fellow finalists Max Benecke, Mitchell de Jong, Sebastian Job, Erhan Jajovski, Aurelien Mallet, Riley Gerster, Kamil Pawlowski, Fabian Portilla and Jonathan Wong throughout the 12-day tour.
The YouTube series brings together Torque Esports' owned properties World's Fastest Gamer and Lets Go Racing as "co-drivers" in showcasing the #GamerToRacer concept pioneered by Torque Esports President and CEO, Darren Cox.
"World's Fastest Gamer content on Lets Go Racing has already attracted more than two million views and we're looking forward to using their amazing platform to take fans behind the scenes and showcase the amazing experience these gamers went through," Cox said.
"The experiences the 10 finalists went through will live for them for a very long time. From driving supercars in Vegas to racing through 'The Corkscrew' at Laguna Seca and even driving an 800 horsepower sprintcar on dirt – every day was a new surprise for them.
"The YouTube series will also take a look at the esports events including our rooftop race in downtown Los Angeles and on Treasure Island in the middle of San Francisco Bay as well as their chance to work with Formula 1 legends Juan Pablo Montoya and Rubens Barrichello."
Montoya worked alongside mentors Jann Mardenborough and Rudy van Buren as the head judge for the competition. For the final day of competition, Montoya brought along his former F1 rival, close friend and fellow esports enthusiast Rubens Barrichello to help decide who would be the winner.
The World's Fastest Gamer winner, 22-year-old Brit, James Baldwin earned a real-world, full-time race seat for 2020 valued at more than US$1 million.
"I did two race weekends in Formula Ford when I was 16 but my funding ran out and I thought my race career was over," Baldwin said.
"Since I was eight, I've wanted to be a racing driver. I thought after Formula Ford, that was it, but now I'm going to be a racing driver in 2020.
"These two weeks have been amazing. We've seen so many views, driven so many cars on so many tracks and met so many people. We did it so fast that some things you do forget, but that's why we have photos and videos and people documenting all of it.
"I can't wait to just sit down and watch it all back and relive it."
Season one of World's Fastest Gamer was shown around the world reaching more than 400 million viewers across leading networks including ESPN, Sky, CNBC and Fox Sports.
Season two will expand from a four-part to a six-part series and will debut early in 2020.

You might want to go to Washington D.C. the third weekend of January this year. The nation's capital will buzz with speeches and parades for Martin Luther King Day, Jan. 21 and the presidential inauguration, Jan. 21.
Yes, the inauguration is supposed to be Jan. 20 and yes, President-Elect Obama will be sworn in that day in a private ceremony. However, in years when Jan. 20 falls on a Sunday, the public events and swearing in take place on Jan. 21.
First, the Martin Luther King Day of Service will be Jan. 19 in D.C. The Presidential Inauguration Committee has a list of places where people can volunteer.
In addition, the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade steps off from Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE and Milwaukee Place SE at 11 a.m. Jan. 19. On Jan. 20, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts co-hosts with Georgetown University "Let Freedom Ring" at 6 p.m. in a free Millennium Stage concert. Tickets are needed. They will be given out in front of the Kennedy Center Concert Hall at 4 p.m.
The inauguration takes place on the U.S. Capitol steps, Jan. 21. If you saw the movie, "Lincoln" you know that this year marks the 150thanniversary of his Emancipation Proclamation and placing the Statue of Freedom on the Capitol Dome. The timing will be reflected in the inauguration theme of "Faith in America's Future" and President Obama's address following his oath of office.
If 2009 is any indication on timing, inaugural ceremonies will being at 11:30 EST with the oath of office given at noon and the vice president's oath given about 10 minutes after that.
What you need to know if you go. You can watch the swearing-in ceremonies on screens along the National Mall without a ticket. Members of Congress have tickets to distribute so don't believe ticket claims online. Spectators along the parade route from the Capitol to the White House should not have backpacks, aerosol cans or packages.
Places to go while in town
The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial is on the west side of the Tidal Basin between the Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorials. Be sure not to skip the Roosevelt Memorial. Its winding path past sculptures and etched messages recall a tumultuous time of despair and hope.
The Newseum on Pennsylvania Avenue at 6thacross from the National Gallery of Art has "Every Four Years: Presidential Campaigns and the Press" on exhibit through Jan. 27, 2013. The Newseum is also the place to look up past news-making events, try interactive news dissemination and social media communications, visit a 9/11 gallery and a large piece of the Berlin Wall. Best plan is to visit on the weekend instead Jan. 21.
The district has a good underground Metro system and buses on its main streets so wherever you go, your best plan is to take public transportation.

The kitchen is an essential part of the home which brings out the best of what your house could be. The right ambiance and the outlook will give you all the best reasons to hang out at the kitchen for as long as you could. Whether you go abstract or simplistic, the most important factor is it must be welcoming enough for you as you spend a long time here, having a meal or just a chat with the people in the home. Here are some great ideas.
Squeaky Clean
In small kitchens, when you use acrylic in your furniture and fixtures, it makes the room look more spacious. It does not cut the line of sight here while white color expands the room as well.
Be creative with cabinets
Old and standard looking kitchen cabinets can be boring. Find a new look with creative designs. The walls are wasted if there no cabinets there. Find something interesting and mount them there. They can double-up as decoration too.
Go boxy
This is where you want to create an organized and neat environment space in the kitchen. Perfect for small spaces, it would be ideal to maximize the space including the island counter that can be a dining space too.
Move the island
This is meant to be done literally. The island is good but if you can move it away when you do not need it to free up space which improves efficiency too.
White Spaces
White color is a great move as it 'enlarges' the room and the surrounding space but it might not be the color for everyone. If that is the case, go for off-white fittings. You can use various shades of white not only for the walls but for your kitchen cabinets and furniture too.
Big Sized Items
With a small room, you do not want to create too much space. Use large fixtures where you can and you get a more elegant ambiance.
Passion colors
Perhaps you would like to break-away from the usual minimalist design and opt for something more abstract and contrasted. Don't overdo this though. A black and red combination would be very nice.
Go Cottage
A gallery kitchen will work wonders for a small kitchen. Just post everything onto the wall and then clear up space for a walkway and that would just be charming enough.
Minimalist is Good
A popular choice among modern homes, you can easily go minimalism with your small kitchen. Use simple fixtures that work with pastel colors and sharp lines.
Heavy Metal
Observing the use of white (and off-white) motif in the small kitchen, combining it with lots of metal will disrupt the boredom. This does not only mean silver as you can use all types of metal colors like gold too.
Built-in Work Spaces
Not every kitchen utensil need to be standalone. Use built-in equipment as much as possible. The stove, the oven and even the chopping board can be built-in to the drawers. Other ideas include garbage cans and even chairs.
Open the Windows
You will always have a segment of the kitchen facing the window. Avoid heavy colored curtains and let the sunshine in. Besides making the room look bigger, it also has an elegance touch to it.
Functional and modern
Sometimes, a room for a single person should just be functional. But that does not mean you compromise on the style. While the cooking space is meant for cooking, you can create simple spaces for your own use.
Opening the Ground
If you can design the floor of the kitchen to join with some parts of the fixtures, it looks like one large room. It does not necessarily be the same material but color schemes would do just fine.
Storing Creatively
There are many ways to store your things in the kitchen and you need to be creative about this. One of the modern ways (in the modern and small kitchen) is to use vertical storage spaces. Besides saving space, it keeps your stuff organized as well.
Go Rustic
This is if you are a fan of the classic looks. It will surely make the room look bigger (classier for sure) as it disrupts the white spaces. Wooden outlook and items will be nice and everything looks neater and cleaner too.
Focus on the island
Some people felt that the island will take up space especially if your kitchen is small. But if you make it be functional and very efficient, things are at its place and it creates a much more elegant space than it is.
Get Organized
The easiest way to do this is to use built-in cabinets with proper drawers. When you have your utensils and equipment organized properly in the cabinets and drawers, they are no longer in plain sight and it makes your room so much bigger.
Mix the old and the new
You might not want to throw away some stuff that is nice when you design your kitchen. Combine the old stuff with some modern items and you get a whole new look. You need to be creative in this though.
Reduce the sizes
From the original outlook, reduce the size of the fixtures. If you had a large table then, change into something smaller. Downsizing works great if you know where to look and what to do. You are, after all, going for efficiency since space is limited.
Have fun with colors
White can always be your main background but that does not mean you have to go all white (or off-white). Seek out more chic combinations and seasonal ones. Enjoy the process and you will like what you see in the end.
Hang the Walls
The walls must always be used for storage but be careful not to overkill. Use hooks and racks and hang your utensils there. Install these racks in moderation and ensure you go for consistency.
Use a pantry
If you have some extra space, it would be nice to have a small pantry area where you can store things that you do not always use. In fact, it can be worth a lot of space there if you go for a minimalist design. Don't just throw everything into the pantry though.
Maximize the sink
The modern kitchen sink can be multi or all-purpose. Some come with a built-in dishwasher and dryer too. If you can use the sink for this, there is no need to buy a portable or built-in one.
Large windows
If possible, have a large window that looks outside. Not all kitchens come with a window so you might want to be innovative here by opening a splashback (which can open up a lot of visuals too).
Ground Illusion
If the room is very narrow, then you can get the floor to divert the attention. Some tiling design is made to open up the room so that you do not focus so much on the narrow walkway.
Maximize your storage spaces
Built-in cabinets and drawers are a must in small kitchens. But that also means that you must maximize the spaces in within. Stacking, vertical dividers and door hooks are all part of this. Make sure you build as much as possible.
Splashback focus
If you have a splashback in your kitchen, give it some focus. Make it look like something that does not fit in the overall color scheme or outlook. That would give your space something to look forward to.
Colors and Posters
This is something that most singles will like. Go for strong and contrast colors or wall posters like quotes and that will shift the focus away from the limited kitchen size. These motifs will surely avoid the cramped look and people will be talking about it all the time.
Wall-mounted shelves
For small kitchens, mounted (and floating) shelves can be quite functional. Again, you need to go for consistency here or a specific color scheme and size. It looks very neat and truly modern as well.
Modular Components
Specifically made for those who like minimalist designs and fixtures, you can opt for the more modern freestanding modular kitchen designs. They are great for small kitchens and trendier too.
Go Industrial
A move away from the country home and modern design, you can opt for the industrial look with this one. Concrete walls and industrial appliances can be functional and pretty too.
Focus on the window
While a lot of natural light is good, you must put some focus on designing the window. Give it some life with curtains or a flower plant.
Go Purple
Specifically for those looking to go country or cottage, purple is a great color scheme. It is the color of Lavender which will always be a classic that will never go out of trend.
Eclectic and modern
No specific motif needed here. Do what your heart desires through mix and match of vintage and modern. The main idea is to maintain efficiency but design to your heart's content.
Light up the boxes
If you use lighting, your creativity can go further. Use appropriate colors though and white or yellow would be great to start with. Use these lights on the cabinets and it would illuminate the room in its own wonderful ways.
Create a corner
Nothing beats having your own personal corner in the kitchen. Spread a table or a rug next to the window, personalize it with your own pillows and enjoy a coffee every morning.
Creative with drawers
This takes some planning where you need to be a bit more creative with where you install your drawers. Find space that can work for you and get better organized.
Get Artsy
Start with the splashback and work your way out. If you are the artsy type, then think of it as a blank canvas and try to be as artistic as you can.
Go Cool
This design is one that will always resonate with modern families (and singles too). Small kitchens need not be too cluttered. Go for a cool look which is elegant and simple. What you want are just functional things that are all in their respective spaces.
Transparent works
By putting in transparent items, it opens up space. However, if you can build a transparent wall (or even a door), then your kitchen surely looks a lot larger than it is.
Notice the corners
Corner cabinet shelves can be tricky but they are often overlooked. In fact, if you know how to maximize this space, it is a lot more efficient than common drawers.
Hide the island
This is not something new but many have forgotten how good it is. The island can be hidden or extended and this is great if you are using a small kitchen space.
Use Strong Colors
This might not work for everyone but if you go for a strong color tone, the entire space opens up. Orange is one color which works wonders if you know how to maximize its effect but this is meant for those who are bubbly and chic.
Be different
Not everything in your kitchen must be symmetrical. Even in a limited space, it does not mean you must have all in equal shapes, sizes and dimensions. Innovate your kitchen by combining simple with sophisticated, modern and classic or any way you choose.
Classic can be efficient
Old and rustic items do not mean they are slow and cumbersome. If you plan your space well, they can be highly efficient and functional too.
Go Country
This might cramp up space a bit but you can create a small country-home type of kitchen. Go for compact and space-efficient here and pack the walls up with essential decorative items (wood and brown items).
Double up décor and function
Use the walls to its max and put up items that have double functions. Chalkboards or an organizer can be very nice where it looks good and have purposes as well.
Add Texture
Use various types of texture to the walls. If you combine plain designs with certain prints, they will create a totally different atmosphere. The attention can be diverted from the space and people will be looking at those spaces more frequently.
Natural Light
Where possible, open up the room for some natural light. During the day, the sunlight will create the right ambiance and during the night, if you have street lights, the reflections will give your kitchen a night glow to die for. Natural lighting is somewhat the best lighting here.
is somewhat the best lighting here.

Two famous racehorses were found with their manes partially cut on Versailles Farm in Hidaka, Hokkaido, police said Monday. One of the champion horses, Taiki Shuttle, has been inducted into the Japan Racing Association (JRA) Hall of Fame after winning 11 of 13 Grade-1 races before being put out to stud in 1998. The other horse is Rose Kingdom, a winner of the prestigious Japan Cup.
The ranch on Monday filed a property damage report with Hokkaido prefectural police, Fuji TV reported. Takafumi Iwasaki, 27, president of the ranch, was brushing the horses' manes on Sunday morning when he noticed that pieces about 8 cms long and 15 cms wide had been cut off with a sharp blade. He told police the horses were untouched when he last saw them on Saturday morning as they received their daily care.
Police believe the cutting occurred on Saturday while the animals were grazing in the pasture between 9 and 11 a.m. During these hours, visitors to the ranch are allowed to view and touch the horses.© Japan Today
