Seeing atoms with tiny beams
Date: Oct 24, 2002
Source: Machine Design ( click here to go to the source)
IBM (www.ibm.com) and Nion Co., Kirkland, Wash. (www.nion.com), researchers have developed a new technique that significantly boosts resolution of electron microscopes.
Electron microscopes use magnetic optics to locus electrons into extremely small-diameter beams to view atomic-scale details in thin slices of materials, important in the development of ever-smaller microchips. For years, engineers employed single lenses to reduce image-blurring lens imperfections such as spherical aberration, but with little success.
The new approach instead uses seven sets of computer-controlled magnetic lenses to actively correct spherical aberration in real time. The improved optics make possible an electron beam only 75 thousandths of a nanometer (3 billionths of an inch), smaller than a single hydrogen atom, said to be the smallest to date. This higher resolution lets scientists better see important defects in silicon and ways to fix them, for instance. It also permits the imaging of atoms interacting with one another, a key step to making self-assembling computer chips, says IBM.

I have written occasionally here about Tesla (TSLA). While the relationship to the energy market and sector is a tenuous one, it is a fascinating stock that has produced a lot of trading opportunities over the last couple of years. What has made it so is that it has moved in a somewhat predictable manner, but the movement has been based on factors other than the fundamentals or prospects of the company. Based on the news this week though, the party may be coming to an end.
TSLA has been volatile for a while. That is the result of sentiment swinging between two extremes. At times the market has focused on the enormous potential of a company with an appealing mission and vison and a great product line, while at others the reality of earnings, or rather the lack of them, has taken precedence. Each time that has happened though, the company's CEO Elon Musk has released some information or made a comment that reassured the bulls and caused the stock to climb back.
As you are probably aware, TSLA has taken a major hit after it became known that the SEC is suing Musk and requesting that he be barred from being an officer of the company. That would be a blow to any company, but to Tesla, where many shareholders are more "true believers" than rational investors, it could trigger major losses.

There are signs this morning that the stock is bouncing back to some extent. It has gained a few dollars since opening around $270, roughly ten percent below yesterday's close, but don't be fooled. That is not surprising given the extent of the drop, but a significant recovery looks very unlikely unless maybe the SEC loses their case, and everybody accepts that it was all a big mistake.
That also seems unlikely, but even if it does come about it probably won't save the stock. The tweet from Musk that precipitated the action, saying that he was considering taking the company private at a price of $420, and that he had funding secured for that deal, has since been shown to be an exaggeration at best. Supporters are claiming that his actions were not intended to defraud, but whether that is true or not it will call into question everything he says about Tesla going forward. For a stock so often supported by one man's utterances, that is a big deal.
That leaves a vacuum on the bull side of the argument, so focus will inevitably shift to the hard data. We also learned this week that Tesla have hit their Q3 production targets with a couple of days to spare, and that sales numbers are good. But that still may not be enough to shift sentiment among the number watchers. Sales growth has been achieved with the help of some short-term incentives such as offering free charging in certain circumstances that can be viewed as simply pulling sales forward while negatively impacting future cash flow, and increased production when every vehicle is produced at a loss is not necessarily a win either.
Let's not get overly dramatic here. Musk's problems don't mean that Tesla is doomed. They still make great cars that are in line with what most see as the future of the industry and are still growing at a remarkable pace for a somewhat moribund industry. If viewed as a start-up there is still an optimistic case to be made in the long term, but that doesn't mean the stock is a buy down here. What we are likely to see over the next few weeks and months is further declines as valuations adjust to more realistic levels. Absent the predictable support from a Musk tweet or two, selling now, whether to cut an existing position or establish a new short one looks like the smart move.

MUMBAI: In a relief for the non-veg loving students studying at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B), the institute has clarified that there is no food restriction that is being put in place in the campus.
"IIT Bombay clarifies that the Institute has not banned non-veg food in the campus, as reported by few publications. A letter was issued to the caterer of a cafeteria atop Civil Engineering Dept. for purely health and safety reasons as he was serving stale food," a statement by IIT PRO said.
As per a few reports, the institute had told students and mess authorities that non-veg had been strictly banned and would not even be served in the cafeteria.
The report had said that the decision was taken after students in the institute raised objections over "serving of non-veg food, including egg items."
Reports had quoted a circular which had said that "no lunch and dinner party orders allowed for other departments and such services and orders are banned. Lunch services are also not permitted. The cafeteria authorities should provide the list of vegetarian items to a committee for a review, and no cooking is allowed in the cafeteria."

text: 2010 was a difficult year for the Australian Labor Party and the American Democrats. Media coverage goes in waves; it was slow to catch up with Labor's woes and perhaps has overstated Obama's difficulties. Much was made of the Democrats' poor performance in the Congressional elections. Little attention was given to the fact that they came off a high base and still polled around 47-48% of the national vote. Obama is still reasonably popular, is well-liked and outperforms all his potential Republican challengers. Many Republicans leaders are anxious about the popularity of Sarah Plain among many Republican supporters and fear that that she would be a major liability as a candidate. Suddenly much is being made of the positive outcomes of the lameduck session of Congress. As usual little attention is given to the negative consequences of the deal on tax rates for higher income earners which will add to the long term deficit but have very little short-term stimulatory effect. However Obama's prospects in 2012 depend very much on the economy, it is important to note that even if he does win he may face continuing difficulties with Congress. The Senators elected in 2006 will go up for re-election in 2012 and this was a largely Democratic group. Democratic support at the 2010 election correlated very strongly with Obama's 2008 vote. Obama needs to win by a reasonable margin to have any prospect of returning the Democrats to a Congressional majority. The American economic recovery is painfully slow and during 2010 the Democrats poll rating followed levels of economic confidence down. On the other hand American voters have low expectations about the economy and the Republicans continue to be blamed by many for the current position. The prospects for Obama seem cautiously positive. The Australian position is the opposite. Voters seem inclined to judge Labor much more harshly for its economic performance than American voters are inclined to judge the Democrats. Australian voters are pessimistic about their economic prospects. Labor also has lost its traditional advantage as the party that is best for the economic wellbeing of ordinary families, an indicator on which it has traditionally performed better than 'economic management'. What is puzzling is exactly what voters mean by the 'cost of living' this a negative for Labor despite rising real wages? The linkage between objective economic circumstances and political behaviour is a complex one. The Democrats are facing very difficult circumstances but their brand remains reasonably intact. Labor faces much less difficult circumstances but its brand has been seriously damaged. Labor seems to lack any strategy to address this in 2011. On the other hand will public perceptions shift as they did for John Howard by 2001 after his terrible year in 1998, will the American economic recovery stall or reverse?

From one of our finest and most popular science writers, the best-selling author of Your Inner Fish, comes the answer to a scientific mystery story as big as the world itself: How have astronomical events that took place millions of years ago created the unique qualities of the human species? In his last book, Neil Shubin delved into the amazing connections between human anatomy—our hands, our jaws—and the structures in the fish that first took over land 375 million years ago. Now, with his trademark clarity and exuberance, he takes an even more expansive approach to the question of why we are the way we are. Starting once again with fossils, Shubin turns his gaze skyward. He shows how the entirety of the universe's 14-billion-year history can be seen in our bodies. From our very molecular composition (a result of stellar events at the origin of our solar system), he makes clear, through the working of our eyes, how the evolution of the cosmos has had profound effects on the development of human life on earth.

The 4 Percent Universe
Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and the Race to Discover the Rest of Reality
Paperback ISBN: 0547577575
Over the past few decades, a handful of scientists have been racing to explain a disturbing aspect of our universe: only 4 percent of it consists of the matter that makes up you, and me, and every star and planet. The rest is completely unknown. Richard Panek tells the dramatic story of the quest to find this "dark" matter and an even more bizarre substance called dark energy. This is perhaps the greatest mystery in all of science, and solving it will bring fame, funding, and certainly a Nobel Prize. Based on in-depth reporting and interviews with the major players—from Berkeley's feisty Saul Perlmutter to Harvard's witty but exacting Robert Kirshner —the book offers an intimate portrait of the bitter rivalries and fruitful collaborations, the eureka moments and blind alleys, that have fueled their search, redefined science, and reinvented the universe.

Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 2:38 pm on 17th November 2016.
Again, that problem will be replicated across all our constituencies. In my constituency, the citizens advice bureaux have reduced their hours, which means that they have reduced their capability to take on tribunals and appeals. We have probably filled that gap. That responsibility has fallen on the shoulders of people not only in my office, but in the offices of other Members in this House. I thank the hon. Gentleman and the hon. Lady for their contributions, because they have outlined the issues very clearly.
In the summer Budget of 2015, it was announced that the work-related activity component paid to those in the WRAG would be abolished for new claims from April 2017. The equivalent element in universal credit will also be abolished. This means a reduction of £29.05 a week, and aligns the rate of payment with that for those claiming jobseeker's allowance. It is said that existing claimants will not be affected and that there will be protections for those who move into the WRAG or the universal credit equivalent from the support group. The changes were introduced to
"remove the financial incentives that could otherwise discourage claimants from taking steps back to work."
As of February 2016, there were some 2.4 million ESA claimants in Great Britain. Of these, 1.5 million were in the support group; some 19% were in the work-related activity group; some 13% were in the assessment phase, awaiting their work capability assessment—how frustrating it must be to wait for that to happen, given the time that it takes—and 3% were in the unknown phase, yet to be allocated to a group. Again, that illustrates the lack of process and the difficulties with time. Many people are in this group. Although the changes apply to new applicants, there will certainly be people that are affected. I understand that the DWP impact assessment says:
"The notional loss to each family is expected to be around £28 a week, which represents around a 10 per cent notional change in net income, presented in 2019/20 prices. Someone moving into work could, by working around 4-5 hours a week at National Living Wage, recoup the notional loss of the Work-Related Activity component or the Limited Capability for Work element."
Let us focus on what that means. The Government expect those disabled people to find four to five hours' work elsewhere to fill the gap. For a start, the hours might not be there. What if their disability means that they are not able to do it? With respect, it is just incredible that the Government believe that that could happen.
Let us be serious here: the whole point of ESA is that it is for people who are unwell. There seems to be a presumption by the DWP that working the five hours a week to fill the gap is not an issue, when in fact the 200,000 or so people who are in WRAG for mental and behavioural issues may not find it such an easy option. Earlier, a Member referred to those with mental health issues. In Northern Ireland, we have many, many people who have depression and other mental health issues, and who suffer greatly every day. Our 30-year conflict has contributed to those problems.
It is fair to say that whenever a Government do something good, we want to congratulate them. The DWP has stopped the renewals of ESA for those who are long-term sick. I am very pleased about that. Many people with brain injuries or who have children with educational and emotional difficulties have come to my office. The court has appointed people to deal with their money, and yet, until now, those people have had to renew their ESA claim every two years. I wrote to my own Department in Northern Ireland about that matter, and I was very pleased to get a response from the Government through the Department and to hear that they are now doing away with that requirement. It is only right that those for whom the court has made appointees should not have to renew their ESA every two years. It is just silly to ask for that.
As an employer, would I hire someone who may be prevented from being reliable because of their documented illness—someone I could not allow to work with customers owing to such issues? Although I would have sympathy, could I run my office like that? The answer is that I could not, and I doubt that the Government could either, so who will employ these people who are being told, "Just work another five hours to make it up."
Let me be clear: we are not talking about jobseekers, but about people who have a recorded and supported illness. The rationale, while perhaps understandable in other areas, is ridiculous for those who are in this group. There is a reason they are not simply on JSA, and the Government must recognise that.
Ms Ritchie referred to the closure of offices, and we are concerned about that as well. We are fighting that together. The campaign is supported by all the parties at every level—council level, MLA level and MP level. Retaining those offices is important. We also should remember the support from the Disability Benefits Consortium. Mencap in Northern Ireland has asked me to express its concerns as well. I am given to understand that there will be
"new funding for additional support to help claimants return to work".
That has been clarified as £60 million in 2017-18, rising to £100 million in 2020-21. In addition, the Government have announced an extra £15 million per year in 2017-18 and 2018-19 for the Jobcentre Plus Flexible Support Fund to be set aside specifically for those with limited capability for work. Some £43 million has also been allocated to trial ways of providing specialist support for people with common mental health conditions between 2017-18 and 2019-20. I wish to make this plea to the Minister. When we have those staff in place, please, please can we make sure that they have the training, the ability and the quality to respond, because very often, with great respect, they do not have those skills. As the elected representative of my staff, it is frustrating to have people on the phone telling someone that they do not understand what they are about.
My concern is that the seriousness of the illness is not taken into account. It almost feels as though Government are saying, "Yes, yes, I know you're feeling a trifle under the weather, but come on, old chap, stiffen that upper lip and move on." That is not possible for those suffering from muscular skeletal problems—there are almost 100,000 in this group. There is no stiff upper lip for them. There are those who cannot know when they will be well enough to work, but they are told to make up the five hours whenever they can. I am sure that my staff would love me to say, "Do your 37.5 hours whenever you feel like it. You can work from 2 am to 7 am if you like." However, that would not help me to deal with my constituents, my customers or those who need help. There are few places of employment like that, so why can the Government not outline where those five hours at a time can be found? We could go so far as to say that people would have to work only one hour if they could find an employer willing to pay £29 an hour. "Don't be absurd," the Government would say, but that would be as easy to find as an employer who would allow someone to work five hours a week whenever they choose, according to their illness.
Instead of cutting benefits, we should focus on improving support for disabled people who need help and on getting them back into work. I know that the Government have made some concessions, and the unemployment figures this week showed that more people who are disabled are in work. That is good news and a move in the right direction. Let us continue in that way.
The Government need to understand the difference between being ill and being unable to find work. In the past month I have had in my office a former ward sister, a former construction worker, a business owner and a social worker, all of whom are now on ESA. I know those people well. They do not want to be on ESA. They are not choosing not to work out of laziness. They were earning £500 a week and are now getting £75, so the Government's inference in this regard is insulting. More importantly, it is based on a false premise that cannot be allowed to stand. I therefore feel that I have to stand with the proposer of the motion and those who have supported it and say that we are against these Government proposals. I know that the Minister is an understanding lady and I look to her to respond compassionately to the issues that we have raised.

PUTRAJAYA: The Energy, Science and Technology, Environment and Climate Change Ministry plans to release a list of state governments and agencies that have opted to ban the use of single-use plastic in hopes of inspiring others to do the same.
Its secretary-general Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Azhar Yahaya (pic) said government departments and agencies are slowly learning to say no to single-use plastics and some have included it as a condition for license renewal.
"I'd like to congratulate the Federal Territories Ministry for prohibiting business owners from giving out plastic straws as part of the terms to renew their license since January. Even the Tourism, Culture and Arts Ministry is committed to draft a plan to fight single-use plastic," he said.
Azhar said the Selangor state government also played a big part in promoting a greener lifestyle by being among the first to get businesses to stop giving out plastic bags for free.
Starting July 1, eateries in the state will also have to stop giving out plastic straws for free. A nationwide ban is expected next year.
He added that many government agencies and departments are also trying to shake their dependence on single-use plastic following a circular that came out in March.
"The acceptance is slow but steady and we view this positively as we cannot expect an overall change overnight," he said.
He said the ban on single-use plastic is also being supported by NGOs and celebrities who promote sustainable living by bringing their own bags and food containers.
"I hope with their help, this new attitude will catch on," he said.

I've finally decided to rip my entire DVD collection to my Windows Home Server and then purchase a Popcorn Hour A-110 for each TV in the house that I would like to have access to the collection. I have been reading up on everything lately and I just can't come to a decision on whether or not to rip the DVD to an ISO or compress them into h.264 and put them in a mkv container. I originally planned to rip to a movie only ISO but the size just doesn't seem to make this practical with a large library of DVDs. I have approximately 400 DVDs right now. So at around 5gb for a movie only ISO files I need about 2tb of space to start with, then double that because of Windows Home Servers folder duplication (which I would like to keep turned on because I don't want to do all this work and then have a hard drive fail in the future and have to do all the ripping again). I would need 4tb just for the collection of DVDs that I have now. Not to mention I plan to rip my HD DVD and Blu-ray collection eventually also.
So I started down the road of ripping the DVDs and then converting them with Ripbot264 while selecting to keep the AC3 audio and use CQ 18 to get the best quality backups. I then ran into issues with subtitles. I only need the forced subtitles but finding those exact subtitles in a movie without a lot of work seems to be a huge pain.
I'm just curious to see what process/programs others are using to make the whole conversion process easiest. Here is what I currently do.
1. Use DVDfab to copy the main movie to my hard drive.
2. Use Ripbot264 to compress the movie with a CQ of 18 and keep the AC3 audio.
3. Use VobSub to extract only the Forced Subtitles.
4. Use mkvmerge GUI to add the subtitle tracks into the mkv.
I know it is all personal preference but I'm just looking to see what a majority of others are doing with their DVD collections. Any suggestions or tips would be helpful. Also maybe someone can convince me to just rip to the DVDs into ISO files and not go through all this trouble.
*I added a poll because I am curious what most people do.

@craigarta - I'd check the stats for that popcorn unit to see if it supports 5.1 mp3 before going through the effort.

I'm sure that this is answered somewhere else but I have been searching and searching and can't find anything. And if I do find something just about everyone says something different about the topic.
I am ripping my collection of DVDs and doing some testing on converting them to h.264/MKV. All I want to do is remove the black bars and have an "almost" identical copy of the original. I am only considering compressing them to save disk space since I have over 400 DVDs that I would like to put on my WHS.
I'm using Ripbot264 to do the conversion. I select Crop > Automatically. What do I choose for the Size? Or do I choose "Do Not Resize"?
When I choose Do Not Resize then the video always looks stretched after removing the black bars so I am assuming that I will have to do some sort of resizing on it. But what should the size be? I notice that most mkv files I have looked at for comparison use 640xSomething. After reading dozens of posts I understand how this can't easily be answered but what is everyone else typically doing? I tried a 640x272 resize and this gives the correct aspect ratio but no matter what setting I use on the TV it just doesn't seem to display the same as the original DVD.
I am testing with the Wedding Crashers DVD (it was just the first one I grabbed). I rip the DVD and then open the vob files in Ripbot264. I then choose Automatic under Crop to remove the black bars. The aspect ratio on the DVD case says 2.35:1. I assume that the original size of the video is 720x480 (from what I have read this could be an incorrect assumption). Automatic cropping in Ripbot264 is removing top (56), bottom (62), left (2), right (2). So I'm taking the original width of 720 and subtracting 4 (for the left and right cropping). This is giving me 716 for a new cropped width. I take 716 and divide it by 2.35 (the aspect ratio) and get 304 (approximately). So I should resize to 716x304? Is this correct or am I completely off? Or possibly doing no resizing is the correct way to go?
Judging from all the posts on the issue and no clear answers I'm not sure if I am doing this correct. Mainly I would just like to know what everyone else does to get a good result in the end. The mkv files are going to be streamed to 3 different TVs via a Popcorn Hour media players.
OK I voted AVI, but my encodes are most likely way different from others.
Plus, I still have many backups still in ISOs
I say my avis are different because I use Xvid at pretty high bitrates with AC3 audio. I like to keep the files around 2gb, but I have many that go to 3gb+. I like to shoot for at least 3000 to 4000kbs and in many case beyond. I have a player that has no problems playing very high bitrate encodes....Just got luky as it wasn't my intension when buying my system. Now I Know my encodes will play on the new WD player, so I might get it tootgpo famous MAC commercial, You be the judge?

then you "reason" that instead of keeping the dvd as you have ripped them, you will save space by converting them, but here's the problem, even with h264 the only way you are going to maintain maximum quality is if you use roughly half the bitrate that the original dvd used, so no matter which way you look at it you need at least 2 terabytes of hdd space just to store the converted dvd's, that's not counting room for swap, OS, any applications and a working folder so that you can rip and encode each dvd.
i'm sorry but it's a ridiculous idea.
however, if you are absolutely hell bent on doing this, i would recommend using mp4 and my personal preference for dvd to h264 encoding: mpegstreamclip with quicktime alternative 1.81, with all the filters installed and encoded using apple's h264 codec (i much prefer it to x264 and main concept's h264) if you are looking for a free solution or, better yet, if you're willing to spend a couple of bucks nero recode for ultra high quality avc encoding, not to mention fast.
as i said personally i would recommend against your plan, but if you absolutely are determined to do it, that's what i would do.
I think another alternative altogether might be to get one of those dvd jukebox players.
Don't they make ones that can store a 100 dvds?
In your case you might want to buy 4 of them to cover your needs. Get an ir blaster and a video switcher and you are all set. In the end you preserve the original dvds exactly and you have them all neat and ready to go.
Probably as expensive as the plan for setting up a network storage array. Plus you could count the time and frustration saved as a plus toward the cost of the dvd jukebox players.

Maybe you're right. I just counted my DVD collection and it turns out I actually have about 530 (30 of which are HD DVDs). So the time it would take to rip and compress might not be worth it in the end. My main goal was to be able to play any DVD from 3 or 4 different TVs around the house. I know I could just get a DVD player for each TV but as I move more into HD I don't want to have to have to buy a Blu-ray player for each TV. Not to mention I want the flexibility to play my HD DVD collection also. Also when I add an Media Center PC somewhere down the line I can record shows and watch them from any TV. I think I will just start ripping to ISO format. 1TB drives are around $115 so about 4 of those would give me enough space for my current collection and room to expand a little. By the time I get the project completed 1.5TB drives will be cheaper and 2TB drives will be out so I shouldn't have any trouble expanding in the future. Plus ripping to ISO is very quick and can be done without any work from me other than switching out the DVDs from the drive. Using My Movies for Windows Home Server (http://www.mymovies.dk/my-movies-for-windows-home-server.aspx) all you have to do is switch the disk each after each one is done ripping and it does the rest.
A dvd jukebox might be another idea but I loose the option to stream them to any TV in the house. I think ISO is the way to go at this point. That way I have the option to convert to something in the future if I need to.

"Obviously we're encouraged at the opportunity, but it's very early right now." -Muscogee (Creek) Nation Casinos CEO Pat Crofts
Jessica McBride/Managing Editor
Crofts says MCN at least a year away from offering sports betting
TULSA, Oklahoma — The U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion May 14, ruling Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act unconstitutional and paving the way for states to establish sports gambling.
PASPA made it illegal for a state to operate or authorize gambling on competitive sporting events.
'Congress can regulate sports gambling directly, but if it elects not to do so, each State is free to act on its own. Our job is to interpret the law Congress has enacted and decide whether it is consistent with the Constitution. PASPA is not. PASPA "regulate[s] state governments' regulations" of their citizens… The Constitution gives Congress no such power,' Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the court's opinion of Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association.
The court ruled 6-3 in favor of allowing states to establish sports betting, with Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissenting and Justice Stephen Breyer concurring in part and dissenting in part.
"Obviously we're encouraged at the opportunity, but it's very early right now," Muscogee (Creek) Nation Casinos CEO Pat Crofts said. "We think certainly this will pave the way for responsible and legalized sports betting around the country and particularly in Oklahoma."
Crofts said the Oklahoma legislature would have to establish a law and gaming compacts would need to be negotiated before sports betting would be a part of MCN casino offerings. He estimated the time frame to be 1-2 years.
He suggested MCN would partner with national and international organizations for sports betting such as daily fantasy sports betting.
"We're probably a long ways away at this point," he said.
Crofts said the financial impact to the Nation would depend on what sports betting laws Oklahoma passed.
"It'll make money for the state, for education, money for the tribes, but gambling here in Oklahoma is primarily the electronic gaming machines, secondarily the card games… There'll be some impact but it's not going to change any of our lives permanently. It'll be more of a better experience for our customer," he said.
According to the MCN Executive Branch's fiscal year 2018 second quarter report, an estimated $44.7 million in distributions were made back to the Nation from gaming for the first and second quarters of FY 2018.
According to the Oklahoma Gaming Compliance Unit FY 2017 annual report, the State of Oklahoma received $133.9 million in tribal gaming exclusivity fees for that year, $8.9 million of which came from MCN.
The monies are used for Oklahoma's Education Reform Revolving Fund (1017 Fund), the General Revenue Fund and the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
Crofts said space was not established in the recently redesigned River Spirit Casino Resort, but space would be made in the facility.
The State of Oklahoma recently passed a law legalizing dice and ball games, allowing casinos to offer craps and roulette.

INDONESIA | Saturday, 1 August 2009 | Views [1903] | Comments [1]
In our younger days one of the great joys of travel was to just wander, to have no real plan except to get lost and see what eventuated. Sometimes it really didn't work and we'd end up in some tricky situations, more often than not it was a pleasing way to feel the flavours of everyday life wherever we were, and occasionally, just occasionally, an experience would discover you that no guidebook nor any amount of planning could have engineered.
Then came children and such random wandering became somewhere between difficult and impossible. Now Riu is 6 and Kai is 4 we have for the first time in years re-discovered some of this travel magic.
For the last week we've been exploring Bali's truly remarkable landscape on the slopes of the volcano by motorbike: family-on-a-bike Asian style. It's been a hoot. More than one group of tourists have taken our photo as we putt-putt-putt past but the Balinese think it's all quite normal in fact. Our only real concession to safety however, was on day one to head straight off to the helmet shop for the boys, and we've been unable to get Kai to take his off since - in the bath, at diner in cafes, in temples, in the market, at breakfast, in the pool.
If you asked me specifically where we'd been I'd be hard pressed to say, just around and around, picking all the small back roads up through quite villages with nothing obvious on the tourist circuit. We have found exploring across the island quite difficult since all the roads head up and down the volcano with deep valleys between and few, very few, connecting roads. The Balinese don't seem to be big bridge builders.
Today we passed through many villages, all in the middle of some common ceremony or other. There was one temple we arrived at where obviously a procession had been and gone that morning as the temple was fully decorated with offerings in the way that only they can on Bali. Except for the fact that the forecourt was full of motorbikes and the temple was utterly deserted of people. We got off our bike, and wandered around a bit, and then a bit more, and then down the side ... to discover a small terrace packed with local men all gambling on a series of cock fights. We glimpsed one white Cock with short knives glinting in the midday sun that were strapped to its legs while another black Cock lay motionless, just occasionally having enough life left for one last desperate flap ... and just received a kick from one of the men by way of compassion.
It's hard to comprehend the shear effort the women of Bali go to for their culture while the men seem to laze around and gossip and gamble it all away. Not such an uncommon scenario across Asia.
Two days ago we parked the Bike at the end of a track and decided to go for a short wander across some rice terraces, again, something we have wanted to do for years but had been constrained by practicality with the boys. This was pretty gentle stuff, or at least it was until we got lost on coming back down on the way back to the bike. By 2pm with without sunscreen or my World Nomads hat (which I'd lost) I was decidedly sunburnt. It looked simple enough, we were just a few hundred meters from the road, but as the rice terraces head down towards the valleys, the streams and tributaries that they feed the terraces with get suddenly vastly deeper: like from say 2 metres deep to say 30 metres deep within a horizontal distance of no more than 20 metres. And since the Balinese don't seem big on building bridges across these gullies, we had to keep retracing steps up and back and around, such that our 'short wander' turned into a 5 hour sunburnt epic.
This evening we left the boys playing alone in the garden ("Don't go out on the veranda or near the pool, and Kai, do as Riu tells you.") and headed off on the motorbike to do some more exploring, this time heading West of Ubud where our intended target was the ridge to the West of the Sayan valley. Because all the valleys channel down from the volcano, north to south, getting between valleys can require some considerable effort, and we didn't pass another tourist on or off the road for more than two hours. As we climbed and climbed through quite friendly villages, great late afternoon views East out to the volcanoes on the horizon unfolded across the rice terraces. To judge from local people's reactions to us, they don't get too much tourist traffic up this way ... and it feels like you could throw a stone to Ubud it's so close!
As the sun was low, we eventually we had to turn South towards home, and we passed a large stand of trees that was way higher than anything else we'd seen on the island, looking like something from The Lord of the Rings.
Getting lost on the way up was one thing, but finding our way home again once the sun had disappeared was quite another: I didn't realise how far we'd come and how chill if could get this high up the slopes. We had to stop at almost every junction we came upon and ask "Ubud? Ubud?" and point. We eventually managed to find our way home via Campuan (somehow) and to two tired boys waiting patiently for us to return - something that wouldn't have been possible only last year.
Bali provides so well for the people who live here that it's easy to forget how poor many/most are, at least financially. I don't know what the average annual earning are, but a few thousand dollars a year tops. While they aren't wealthy by any means, their rich culture and traditions and extended family connections make them very rich indeed in other ways.
Coming here over the last few years, we have perhaps been unusually fortunate. In the wake of the Bali bombings the place was decidedly quiet and the local people particularly warm and friendly. Now things are largely back to normal, the place is busy as ever it was with throngs of tourists on all the streets and in all the shops, which is surely good for local business ... but comes at a price since it is distinctly less friendly (or perhaps more tired) than it has been before.

Norway has agreed to return hundreds of artefacts taken from Chile's Easter Island by famend Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl in 1956.
The settlement was signed by his son on behalf of Oslo's Kon-Tiki museum and Chile's tradition ministry in Santiago.
The artefacts embrace carved items and human bones from the Pacific island.
In 1947, Heyerdahl turned well-known for skippering a tiny balsawood raft, the Kon-Tiki, on a 6,000km (three,728 miles) journey from Peru to Polynesia.
His expedition proved, he stated, that historical cultures may have sailed to, and populated, the South Pacific.
Later DNA checks advised that the islands have been settled by migrant populations from South East Asia.

Heyerdahl subsequently made plenty of voyages around the globe, together with his expeditions to Easter Island (or Rapa Nui) in 1955-56 and once more in 1986-88.
Heyerdahl carried out the primary co-ordinated excavations on the deserted island whose many carved heads stand guard over the Pacific.
The explorer and ethnographer died in 2002, aged 87.
What in regards to the deal on the artefacts?
It was signed in Chile's Nationwide Library in Santiago.
Heyerdahl's son, Thor Heyerdahl Jr, says "the repatriation is a fulfilment of my father's promise to the Rapa Nui authorities that the objects could be returned after that they had been analysed and revealed", he's quoted as saying by the AFP information company.

Kon-Tiki museum director Martin Biehl stated "our widespread curiosity is that the objects are returned and, above all, delivered to a well-equipped museum".
The entire course of "will take time", he stated, with out giving any additional particulars.
After the signing ceremony, Chilean Tradition Minister Consuelo Valdes careworn that "as a ministry we've the mission to reply to the simply demand of the Rapa Nui folks to recuperate their cultural heritage".
Chile can be demanding that London's British Museum return the determine of Hoa Hakananai, an imposing basalt statue from Easter Island.
Such statues, generally known as moai, have been carved by the island's indigenous Rapa Nui folks to embody the spirit of a distinguished ancestor, with every thought of to be the particular person's residing incarnation.

Andretti was riding with Vince Granatelli when he was pulled over in 1977. Clark Wade
They were motoring around Santa Monica, Calif. -- in a souped-up Camaro.
Mario Andretti and Vince Granatelli, son of legendary autosports owner Andy Granatelli.
Andretti was in the passenger seat. Granatelli driving.
"He was showing off," Andretti said of that day in 1977.
They blew through an intersection -- going way too fast. Sirens sounded. The two pulled over.
The police officer walked up. He was mad.
"Who do you think you are? Mario Andretti?" he asked Granatelli.
Laughter erupted from inside the car. The cop turned red. Now he was really mad.
"Vince just started laughing and the officer wasn't amused. You know? The best part was he looked really upset," Andretti said. "He said, 'Get out of the car.' And Vince says, 'That's him right there.' "
Mario Andretti. In the passenger seat.
Of course, the officer didn't believe these two guys for one second. "No. No it's not," he barked at them.
"He didn't know what I would look like, so I had to show him my license," Andretti said. "I was in town for the Grand Prix race Formula One."
Eventually, the officer realized it actually was Andretti in that car.
"The cop said, 'Man, I've heard that name,'" Andretti said. "And it's just, for us, synonymous with speed."
Andretti smiled.
"So, I said, 'Give him a ticket,'" Andretti said. "Obviously -- he didn't."

SoftBank's Son shines a spotlight on his Vision Fund proteges2 min read . Updated: 18 Jul 2019, 11:32 PM IST
- The fund poured $3 bn into Grab and took part in a $1 bn round for Oyo last year
- In 2017, it led a $200 mn funding round in Plenty
TOKYO : Masayoshi Son likes to sketch out a grand vision for the future of artificial intelligence to justify his seemingly scattershot approach to investing. On Thursday, he let his proteges and startups speak for themselves.
SoftBank Group Corp.'s $100 billion Vision Fund has 82 companies in its portfolio who delve into areas from satellites and autonomous driving to chips and cancer detection. The founders of Southeast Asian ride-hailing giant Grab, indoor farming startup Plenty, Indian hotel chain OYO Rooms and payments service Paytm took the stage at an annual SoftBank conference to explain how AI helps them stay on top in their respective fields.
Ritesh Agarwal, Oyo's 25-year-old founder, said the company is using data to evaluate properties in under five days, a process that might take traditional hotels months. That allows the startup to add about 90,000 new rooms every 90 days, for a total of 1.1 million. Oyo also uses algorithms to predict what kind of interior design can boost demand—pictures of Marilyn Monroe help, apparently—and to adjust prices more than 43,000 times a minute.
Grab's Anthony Tan said the company captures 40 terabytes of data daily through its "superapp," which has been downloaded 155 million times by customers who use it to call a ride, order lunch and pay for purchases. Crunching those numbers allows Grab to make sure a car can be hailed within three minutes and offer food recommendations. The data can also help reduce congestion in Southeast Asia's crowded cities, reduce food wastage and improve access to credit.
Each of Paytm's 700 billion mobile payment transactions runs a gauntlet of more than 1,000 checks in a thousandth of a second, to root out fraud, founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma said at the event. The rules can be as simple as comparing the phone's location to that of a merchant receiving payment, and declining those that don't match. The data could also be used by sellers to determine in real time whether to extend a particular customer credit.
Finally, Plenty says its high-tech approach to growing crops indoors results in plants that yield more without pesticides, use a fraction of water of their counterparts in the field and taste better, to boot.
Founder Matt Barnard said the company used AI to developed 6.4 billion produce recipes that allow farmers to adapt production within days to take advantage of a sudden shortage of kale or iceberg lettuce.
SoftBank's Vision Fund poured $3 billion into Grab and took part in a $1 billion round for Oyo last year. In 2017, it led a $200 million investment in Plenty. Last year's event included presentations from machine learning platform Pettum Inc., Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing, ZhongAn Insurance and General Motors Co.'s self-driving unit, Cruise.
"The crystal ball that tells the future doesn't exist, but something close to that is being created now," Son said at SoftBank World in Tokyo.
"The AI revolution can make people happier. That's the opportunity in front of us."

Derivatives tie the world's largest banks together in ways they've never been connected before.

A law passed during the height of the bubble in 2005 altered the treatment of derivatives in the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to greatly favor derivatives counterparties over other creditors.

GIS Development Staff
The world's cultural legacy consists of rich archaeological ruins (monuments and palaeontological deposits that illuminate past life on earth. Unique historical structures tell us how our ancestors lived and worked. But exceptional population growth, coupled with powerful technologies and industrialisation, caused a serious cultural crisis. With every destroyed site an opportunity is lost forever for future generations to be enriched by their cultural history. The biggest fallacy lies in improper mapping where such monuments are depicted with ordinary symbols of presentation and only the famous and well-known monuments are mapped.
Delhi: The Study Area
In Delhi, history is not confined to dusty tombs and archives, but lives in the architecture, in every stone of its buildings, well-preserved old buildings and others in ruins, scattered all over the city. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has listed 1151 monuments worth preserving but there is not a single map showing locations of even 10% of these listed monuments.
There are three broad objectives of this study: 1. Development of an "Interpretation Key" 2. Mapping of monuments and sites. 3. Comparison of SPOT images and aerial photographs to bring out their advantages and limitations in such studies.
Data products Used
For this study the panchromatic SPOT (10 metres resolution) of 1:25,000 scale of September 1989- Geo-coded sub-scenes: GRS D207/41 Scene centre:
and April 1987, Row: K207, Path: J293 were used. Panchromatic aerial photographs of 1:10,000 scale of the year 1984 for a small sample area were available and were used for comparison.
Definition of Terms
Historical Sites: A historical site is a place where significant past events have occurred or an area containing property employed in, or monuments commemorating, such events.
|Fig. 1: Interpretation key
Historical Monuments: A monument is often defined by law as any immovable property useful in illuminating or interpreting past events (William, 1978). It can, therefore, encompass monuments in the traditional sense (that is, a large stone statue or other artifact serving no function except to commemorate a person, event or idea), site where significant historical events occurred, buildings, or whole districts' neighbourhood.
Archaeological Sites: An archaeological site is a place where material remains give evidence of past human life and activities. These remains can be movable and can lie above or below the ground.
Difference between Historical and Archaeological Sites and Monuments
Specialists usually differentiate historical sites from archaeological sites by the advent of writing. If a written history exists of the area or building in question; the site or building is considered a historical site building. If the remains were left at a time when writing did not exist or by a culture that did not possess writing, the site or building is considered an archaeological one.
Non- specialists often differentiate a historical site from an archaeological one by its visibility and state of preservation. Most of the structures and artifacts on archaeological property lie under the ground and must be excavated, whereas most of the structures and artifacts on a historical site lie above the ground. Although not always reliable or accepted, this latter distinction is useful for the purpose of this paper.
Development of Interpretation Key Interpretation Key is a very useful clue and tool for identification and image interpretation. Most questions about classification, interpretation and delineation are answered by the key. Here an attempt has been made to develop a key for interpretation. After the visual image analysis of the panchromatic SPOT image, a key has been prepared which is shown in Fig.1. The explanation of each key is given here:
|It is a monument at ground level or at a raised platform and having a dome in the centre. It is enclosed by a wall and there are four gates/ doors on four sides and from pathways leading to the monumental building.
|A monument at ground level or at a raised platform and having a dome in the centre and four domes at the corners of the wall. Having only one gate/ door and a pathway leading to the monument.
|A fort wall with bastions. The gate of the fort may not be visible and there may be a number of gates. Sometimes there are structures inside fort or sometimes only fort walls in ruins.
|A group of domed structures at ground level or at a raised platform, with or without enclosure wall scattered over an area. There is no defined arrangement.
|A group of monuments enclosed in a wall and all may be at different or the same area. Sometimes isolated buildings may or may not be connected with pathways. Domes are of varying sizes.
|Key 1(f):
|A monument with typical fortification for some unknown reasons. The gate/door may or may not be visible.
|A monument enclosed in wall either at the time of construction or later on enclosed by some preserving agency and landscaped for tourist attraction.
|Single structures scattered all over the city, with domes and built over a raised platform of different geometrical shapes like circle, square, hexagon, octagon etc., the identification of such structures is really very difficult in built up areas.
|Historic sites with structures scattered all over in ruins, sometimes traces of forts and enclosed walls are visible
Methodology Adopted
- A definite systematic approach of study is required for such investigations and in this study the following methodology has been followed.
- An interpretation key was prepared first for interpretation purpose.
- After preparation of the key, the SPOT image was visually interpreted monoscopically and various monuments and historical sites were delineated on the image using the interpretation elements- shape,size,pattern and tonal variation.
- All these delineated polygons were transferred to a base map (Fig 2).
- Based on the available aerial photographs of a small area, the sample area was marked on the image and the base map.
- Aerial photographs were interpreted stereoscopically for comparison purpose, that is, to find out the potentials and limitations of imagery vis-à-vis aerial photos for such studies. In this process, a few more monuments were interpreted which were not identifiable on the satellite image. The monuments and sites were transferred to the base map and are shown by different cartographic symbols within the photo coverage area marked with broken line (Fig-2).
- A limited field check was carried out to verify the accuracy of photo interpretation, image analysis as well as of key.
- No statistical test was carried out to find the percentage of accuracy because in such studies this has got very limited significance.
| Fig. 2: Spotting Historical
Monuments and sites
At the identification, delineation and fieldwork stages various restrictions were taken into account, like:
- On 1:25,000 scale SPOT image monuments on 75m x 75m size on ground can be identified, i.e., 3mm x 3mm on image. But for delineation purpose (for cartographic ease) 4mm x 4mm was kept. In the case of aerial photographs of 1:10,000 scale 50m x 50m can be identified easily with 3mm x 3mm delineation unit.
- Various small structures within the built-up area were not considered because they might be non-historical religious places and buildings in use.
- At the time of delineation of isolated structures, some excess area around them was delineated for the purpose of cartographic ease.
- Buildings built by Britishers were excluded after field work because they were considered as non-historical for this work and as part of designed and planned cityscape except Coronation Pillar and its adjacent park. But any building built on any historical place was taken as a historic site rather than a building.
- After the final mapping, it was decided not to do the labelling because the names of many lesser known and unknown monuments were not available
- Four elements of image interpretation viz. pattern, shape, tone variation, and size played a significant role in identification of monuments and sites.
- Shape of the objects combined with size played a significant role in interpretation. Since people build things as square, rectangular, circular or straight lines, features of this type having considerable size were identified easily.
- Pattern or repetition is a characteristic of many man-made features. Since cultural features consist of straight lines or other configuration, this helped in interpretation and delineation of monuments.
- In the case of panchromatic image, tone variation is a very vital element especially in built-up area. If the tonal variation with surroundings is poor, then many buildings and sites may merge with the surroundings.
- Appropriate scale for identification of buildings and sites for SPOT satellite image should be 1:10,000 or more. But keeping in view the inherent weakness of spatial resolution and pixel size, it is not possible.
- Development of modern buildings and dense residential colonies near historical monuments and sites creates difficulties in identification and idealisation.
- Isolated monuments within built-up area were difficult to identify unless the size of monuments was big enough. But when isolated monuments of smaller size are located in open spaces or green areas properly landscaped, then identification was rather easy.
Two inherent properties of remote sensing image make the data derived from it extremely useful in building a broad induction base:
- The wider environmental perspective afforded by remote sensing techniques over more traditional ones on the ground surveys.
- The permanent nature of such imagery provides a fixed time space perspective of ever- increasing historical value.
The role of large scale vertical aerial photographs is undisputed in such studies because on 1: 10,000 under magnification objects of 0.5 m can be identified, i.e, a spatial resolution of 1m is best suited while resolution and scale of the existing satellite images for this kind of study pose problems.

text: Advertisement Advertisement Lifestyles 5 Valentine's Day gifts that will help you survive the Sweethearts shortage Feb 07, 2019 | 6:23 PM How to express your love this Valentines Day? It probably won't be with Sweethearts Conversation Hearts. You know, the chalky little candies printed with cute messages like "Be Mine" and "Cutie Pie" that date to 1902. It turns out they aren't being made this year. The original producer of the candy, the New England Confectionery Co., also known as Necco, went out of business in July and was subsequently purchased by Spangler Candy Co. (producer of famed Dum Dums lollipops) last September. Earlier news reports said the company had stated that it would not be able to produce the conversation hearts in time for Valentine's Day. While Spangler didn't return our calls for comment, it posted a three-heart response to loyal fans: a photo of three candy hearts printed with the messages "Miss You," "Wait 4 Me" and "Back Soon." To help ease the pain and fill the need to communicate your feelings to the one you love, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts has stepped up and introduced Conversation Doughnuts for Valentine's Day. The doughnuts will be available through Valentine's Day at Chicagoland Krispy Kreme shops in Homewood, Evergreen Park and Hillside. There's no substitute for the beloved conversation hearts, but to help make up for the loss, we found a few other ways to let your loved one know how you feel. firstname.lastname@example.com (David Syrek) Next Gallery PHOTOS Student art show at the Arundel Center PHOTOS 2019 Annie Award Winners Advertisement Lifestyles News The Gallery: October 2019 Here is just a sampling of the fine art and crafts that are available in local galleries this month.
