|Eagles Nest Outfitters ProFly Sil Rain Tarp
Took this on my first ever hammock trip while backpacking overnight. It rained the entire trip so it was difficult to keep dry. I managed to stay dry and comfortable in my hammock with this tarp/fly. I just put all of my gear on a small tarp on the ground under me. The only nitpick I have is the guylines that come with it. They are very stiff and not the easiest to tie. I will probably replace them with 550 cord if it works with the tensioners (which are nice to have)
As others have said: Don't forget stakes. I actually take 8 stakes so I can backup each one with a second in soft ground or high wind.
I think this could make a decent tarp shelter also, but I haven't tried it yet. I have only used it over my hammock.
The first thing that drew me to ENO products was (obviously) their extremely small compaction size. Being as I am relatively new to hiking/camping, this was right up my alley given that I'm only working with a 30L pack for overnights. The ENO Rain Tarp compacts to the size relative to a Naglene. I found the ENO single nest hammock and straps at Gander Mountain (similar to Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, etc.) and wanted to grab the next piece to the set. The ENO Rain Tarp was extremely easy to set up. I had to provide the stakes for the holddowns, but, nonetheless, I was set up and weathered in within a few minutes. I would have liked to have seen strapping similar to the the strap set for the two end ties, but overall I am very satisfied with this product.
Took this out over a weekend camping trip for the first time recently and found it to be stupid simple to set up, and sturdy in howling winds and rain. the fold at the top makes it easy to drape over a hammock and tie up, and provides a worry free rain shelter in minutes. One thing to note: BRING YOUR OWN STAKES. This shelter doesn't come with stakes, so it is worth it to throw some extra tent stakes you have lying around in the bag when you store it. The toughest part of this shelter isn't its setup or getting in and out, its finding trees that are a good distance apart.. Highly Recommend!
I used this recently on a 3 day trip in the ozarks. The last night we were there we were women up by a pretty bad storm, the wind was tossing my hammock around like nothing I've ever felt before and then I got wet. The rain fly worked great with the exception of the water running down from the tie lines. About half the hammock got wet. I've since learned that you should tie a handkerchief around each line on the hammock so that the water will drain down and not soak the hammock. If you use this tip I think you'll have a much better trip than I did.
One stormy camping trip a few months ago my buddy arrived late, and it had already started raining. He set up his hammock and profly just before the storm really got nasty. So nasty that the tree he was attached to snapped in two places. Needless to say the profly held up great and his setup was the talk of the trip. Really cool fly and a nice color.
Terrible instructions make sure you set this up ahead of time and have enough STAKES something that should be mentioned. The product is great i have the entire system minus the slap straps which are kind of a joke over priced and not very functional for different conditions. Definitely keeps you dry and protected. This system is a must for tropical camping much more comfortable sleeping in a tent..
The Eagle Nest Outfitters ProFly is the perfect size for throwing in your pack "just in case". After riding out a nasty storm last year in the Uintas, I knew I wanted something that I could put up quickly, was light enough to vanish when not in use, and built to handle anything that came my way. The ProFly has accomplished all of these and more.
Just finished thru hiking the Loyalsock Trail. I have always been a tenter until now. Packed small and light, easy to setup, and quick to take down. I stayed dry, and cool. The young man I went with had a Hennessy Scout. I was very happy with my decision to go with ENO.
Took this out the day after I got it, and got snowed on. It did its job and I am very pleased with how quick and easily it packs up. I do suggest you get some stakes, makes things so much easier.
Set up took 3 or 4 minutes tops. Although pricey, packs down more compact than a tarp and sets up much easier. Wish it came with stakes, but had enough laying around to not have to buy extra.
for the ProFly www.eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com (the manufacturer's website) lists the weight as 22 ounces and the dimensions 10'6" x 6'4". these numbers differ from the ones backcountry.com has listed...the weight not so much but the dimensions are off by 120 square inches (per the manufacturer and the measurements i just took off the one in my gear closet)!
i bought this fly once before (for a hammock i borrowed from a buddy who did not have it) and i returned it. $85 is a lot to pay for something you could make a pretty good version of yourself for the cost of a tarp from your local megastore...although the profly compresses smaller. After i returned it, i just ended up adding 2 loops to the 3man tent footprint that i already have and using it instead. it just so happened that my tent footprint had adequate dimensions. that was a much lighter weight option, and it was essentially free since i already had the footprint. the footprint does not function as a wind break quite as well as the profly, but it was much much much lighter and cheaper.
i will say that this is a good tarp to use on its own as a shelter if that is your thing...i have done it a couple times. I will continue to use my modified tent footprint as a rainfly for my hammock until cold weather hits and that little extra bit of wind protection is needed.
I ended up getting the ProFly again as part of the ENO onelink hammock system when i bought one for myself (for $159 it came with singlenest hammock, profly, bug netting, and PRO slapstraps). I am glad i have it for when i need it, but if the system did not come with it, i dont think i would pay full retail for it again. If you are ballin' on a budget, there are probably better options with something you already have or could make for cheaper. if not, its cool to have the matching set and not some generic tarp hanging up as people walk by your site. But I am not trying to win any awards from "stylish backpacker monthly." ha!
3/5 stars because it works well, but its expensive and tips the scales a bit.

Airline Network Development in Europe and its Implications for Airport PlanningHardback
More than 4 weeks availability
DescriptionThe ongoing deregulation and liberalization of worldwide air transport markets confronts airport planners with an increasingly problematic context. On the one hand, the capital intensive, large-scale and complex airport investments need a detailed, long/medium-term planning of airport infrastructure. Such planning requires at least predictable traffic volumes (and traffic composition) within the planning horizon. On the other hand, airline route networks are increasingly dynamic structures that frequently show discontinuous changes. As a consequence, the much more volatile airport traffic restricts the value of detailed traffic forecasts. Volatility of airport traffic and its composition requires flexibility of airport strategies and planning processes. The book explores this dilemma through a detailed study of airline network development, airport connectivity and airport planning in the deregulated EU air transport market. The questions the book seeks to answer are: A* how have airlines responded to the regime changes in EU aviation with respect to the configuration of their route networks? A* what has been the impact of the reconfiguration of airline network configurations for the connectivity of EU airports? A* how can airport planners and airport authorities deal with the increasingly uncertain airline network behaviour in Europe?

JAMA 100 Years Ago Section Editor: Jennifer
Reiling, Assistant Editor.
Every autumn, at the beginning of the school year, it seems advisable
to call attention to the fact that one of the most important features of success
in school work is that the child shall be in normal health. Without this qualification
it is absurd to expect the child to succeed in its studies like normal children,
or even that it shall do itself justice in the trying process of the development
of its faculties. If there were any need for emphasizing this point, the recent
report of the Department of Health of New York with regard to the physical
condition of school children in a number of metropolitan schools would furnish
it amply. Altogether, 13,941 children have been examined. Of these, 6,294
were reported by the medical school inspectors as requiring medical attention.
One thousand and ninety-two children were reported as poorly nourished; that
is, as being in such a poor state of nutrition from lack of food as to require
special care on this score. A number of the settlement workers in the slums
of various American cities have recently reported that they found not a few
school children in regular attendance at school who did not have breakfast
before leaving home. It is, as being in such a poor state of nutrition from
lack that the physicians report one out of every fourteen children as insufficiently

Effective harvesting of the microalgae Chlorella protothecoides via bioflocculation with cationic starch

- 10.1016/j.biortech.2014.06.014
- Abstract:
- In the present work, the flocculation efficiency of cationic starch (Greenfloc 120) was tested on the fresh water microalga Chlorella protothecoides under different conditions (pH and flocculant concentrations). Different concentrations of Greenfloc 120 (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40mgL-1) were screened against different algal densities (0.44, 0.56 and 0.77gL-1). Once the optimal flocculation concentration had been established (40mgL(-1) for all different biomasses densities) a more detailed analysis was performed in order to investigate if different pH (4.0, 7.7, and 10.0) could increase the flocculation efficiency of cationic starch. Highest flocculation efficiency without addition of Greenfloc 120 was obtained at pH 10, while in the presence of flocculant, the efficiency increased for all the tested pH values, with a maximum of 98% for pH 7.7 and 10. Cationic starch confirmed to be as an easy to use, efficient and cost-effective flocculant for harvesting of microalgae.

DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. November 24, 2016, 5:37 PM (IDT)
More than 80 people were killed and dozens of others were injured on Thursday at a checkpoint in Hilla, about 100 kilometers south of the Iraqi capital, when an ISIS suicide bomber blew up the truck packed with explosives he was driving. The checkpoint was full of people returning from a Shiite ceremony in the city of Karbala, and most of them were apparently Iranians. A statement by the terrorist organization claimed that 200 people were killed when the truck exploded in an area with dozens of buses packed with Shiites.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.

In Reply: Dr Hermos speculates that the military's selection process may explain why in-hospital and subsequent mortality were lower among black veterans than among white veterans. His hypothesis that hospitalized black veterans may have greater personal and social resources should be tested in future studies.

Are Millenials Different?
In our office, one of our regular discussions is whether the latest generation of young people is different from previous generations, such as my generation, the Baby Boomers. Typically Millenials are supposed to have the following characteristics:
1. They think they are "special"
2. They want "rewarding" work.
3. They are not willing to define themselves by their job and put in lots of extra hours.
4. They need safe spaces.
5. They want everything now.
OK, let me look at each one:
1. They think they are "special". This comes from their parents and teachers telling them they are special snow flakes. They also got prizes for participation in events, so everyone was a winner. Well, what parent DOESN'T think their child is a special snowflake? My parents thought the same of me, and my grandparents thought the same of my parents. I suspect my maternal grandfather was not thought of as a "special snowflake" by his father, given he had to quit 3rd grade and go to work in a textile mill, but other than that, I suspect my other grandparents we considered special by their parents. We find out soon enough when we go out in the world that we aren't special, Oh, but did we get participation prizes? Well, yes, I got a few of them too, not many because I didn't participate in anything in school. No, the latest generation isn't told they are more special than any other generation.
Maybe somewhere in the past people raised their children and told them from birth "you are mediocre, you are no different from anybody else, you will make no difference on this planet but to take up space and steal oxygen", but I don't think that's happened in recent times. I do have one story about participation prizes though. A woman told me about a girl in her high school class that felt hurt, she didn't have high grades, she played no sports, and wasn't in any clubs. She got no prizes. She did have perfect attendance though. So, the school came up with a Perfect Attendance Prize so she wouldn't have to feel left out. This happened in 1911. The woman that told me the story was my grandmother.
2. They want "rewarding work". "Rewarding" has a different meaning to everybody. If you grew up dirt poor like my mother's father, working in the textile mill at 8 years old may have been "rewarding" because it enabled him to have a pair of shoes. If you grow up middle class, you probably want a job that you enjoy going to work at every day, and feel like you make a difference. Again, reality intrudes many times. Many of us have worked jobs we'd rather not have, but we needed to eat. That never changes. Significantly, my maternal grandfather joined the Navy and became an electrician, so I think he was looking for "rewarding work" too, otherwise, he would have stayed in the textile mill in Hawkinsville, Georgia.
3. They are not willing to put in the extra hours and so on… My first job out of college was a soul sucking one for a Fortune 500 company. My boss was a workaholic, and he never left before 8 or 9 pm. At 5 PM the hourly people would clear out and a standoff happened as everyone waited for someone salaried to leave – none of us wanted to be the first out. You might be there until 6 or 7 at night just watching other cubicles. I quit after two years, and so did the other young engineers hired around that time. The number one reason was the idiot (and he was an idiot) that we worked for and his lack of consideration for our time.
The older guys would have quit too, but it's harder to find a job in your 40's, so they couldn't quit. They didn't like being pushed to work extra hours for no reason either. Unlike the guy we all worked for, they had lives to, and wanted to live them. So, how is the younger generation different? It isn't.
4. They need safe spaces. Supposedly colleges have "safe spaces" where students can get away and play with blocks and Play Do, listen to soothing music, and hide from the world. The first question that came to my mind was "how would they do that?" In my day, at the University of Maryland there were various student lounges. They were crowded and noisy, about as much of a lounge as as a bus station waiting room. The Student Union was jammed, so was the library, and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) lounge where I hung out was a small room with worn out chairs and a table, and it was crowded, but it had a worn out couch where you could sometimes get a seat. Granted, my time on college campuses is more limited now, but the times I have been through various campuses, they all look the same. Every place that I saw that students could hang out in looked as inviting and "safe" as a bowling alley lunch counter at best.
If you built a "Safe Space", how do you keep it from being crowded with noisy students? How do you keep students from making obscene sculptures with the Play Do? Unless you are at some tiny liberal arts college in New England, I don't think it's possible. Maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect the Safe Space thing is a myth for the most part.
5. They want everything now. Well, why should they be any different from anyone else? Do you know how mad people get when they send me an e-mail and I don't answer them that day? People get mad when they call me on my cell phone and I don't pick up. Nobody ever asks me for a design to be completed in a couple months, they always want it the day after tomorrow. Society has been speeding up for the past two centuries. The steam engine allowed faster travel over the ocean and train travel. A trip across the country that would take months was cut to a couple weeks, than a week, now hours. The telegraph allowed instant messagest to be sent. Lincoln had constant updates of the battlefied in the Civil War.
As time went forward we have gotten telephones, radio, television, satellite communications, the Internet… We cook in microwaves. We routinely fly coast to coast on jets. All of this speeds up life, and people's expectations. It will only get worse. My generation wanted things in a hurry compared to my father's generation, and I bet his generation wanted things in a hurry compared to my grandparents' generation.
True, there is always the newspaper article about the whiny students that have their feelings hurt. There also are demonstrations where the students block various speakers they don't agree with. Doesn't anybody remember students burning down ROTC buildings on campus during the Vietnam War? Or, how they would routinely shut down classes on campuses through student strikes and riots during the Vietnam era? When I was at the University of Maryland, a supervisor in the physical plant told me how students got into a telephone manhole and tore up the wires with a pick during the 60's. I'm not sure how that made any kind of political statement, it said these people who are now in their mid to late 60's were a bunch of spoiled, destructive brats. I will bet good money that the student that swung that pick is now complaining about "young people today". OK, but the Millenials are somehow worse than the Baby Boomers.
No, I personally don't think this generation of young people is any worse than any other generation. I think they are better than my generation, but that's really just a matter of opinion.

Today's Runes for Frank Sinatra
spread is used at critical turning points, to understand the dynamics of an important decision.
Stone Runes
are most commonly used for questions about the natural world and things beyond human control.
The left rune represents
the first possible outcome
is the rune representing water. Laguz is a strongly feminine rune, and like the ocean contains much power of an uncontrollable nature. Here the rune is seen in the reversed, symbolic of the ebbing tide. This may suggest power being drawn away, or may perhaps the start of a journey. Since this is a rune of sexual power, the reversal can also suggest sexual problems or dissatisfaction.
The right rune represents
the second possible outcome
plainly shows the antlers of the elk that it represents. The elk is the object of the hunt, and hence Algiz speaks to the pursuit of goals and the thrill of that pursuit. The rune is currently shown reversed, so this could suggest a failed endeavor or a lack of effort. Algiz is also representative of a protective hand (fingers open wide), so the reversed form may indicate a failed defense.
The bottom rune represents
the critical factor
that determines what will come to pass.
is the rune symbolizing Ice - cold, stagnant, frozen, and unchanging. This rune suggests heat removed not just from anger or conflict, but from passion as well. Paradoxically, Isa conveys images of slippery slopes and unsure footing, but also of circumstances that have crystallized and become utterly immutable. Remember that in the cold north, ice is not just THE challenge to be overcome, but the very nature of the environment. Be courageous, for you work against this element every day. Will you fight alone or with others against this, our common foe? Is there much worse than lack of change?

Managing Your First Strategic Initiative? Here's What You Need to Know
By Kevin Korterud
Beware: Strategic initiatives aren't the same as typical projects—they tend to be considerably more complex. For example, strategic initiatives are usually bound by some form of dramatic urgency around schedule (regulatory, market), costs (process improvement) or consumer satisfaction (subscription, satisfaction).
But the differences don't end there. Let's look at some other complex dimensions that must be considered when leading a strategic initiative:
1. Stakeholder Management
The stakeholder landscape is much more broad on a strategic initiative than a project. In strategic initiatives, stakeholders typically span multiple departments within a company, creating multiple primary stakeholder groups. And these stakeholder groups will often have nearly equal shares in the success of the initiative, thus creating potential authority conflicts.
In addition, there are also governance functions—risk management, legal, etc.—that will have either a primary or secondary stakeholder role.
2. Communications
The complex stakeholder landscape necessitates communication processes that serve vastly different audiences. There exists both a two-dimensional communications problem: one dimension is horizontal (i.e., across stakeholders) and the other is vertical (i.e., involving higher levels of leadership). What once was a linear communication process on a project now becomes more of a matrix process to deal with the breadth and depth of stakeholders.
Communications will need to be carefully tailored to different functions and levels of stakeholders. For example, more detail for operational functions, and simple, high-level summaries for leadership consumption.
3. Progress Tracking
Strategic initiatives bring with them inherent complexities that can quickly overpower the progress report tracking processes that are commonly used to manage projects.
For example, strategic initiatives will typically have more suppliers than on a typical project. These additional suppliers bring with them different commercial arrangements, delivery methods, status reporting formats and progress metrics. On top of that, all of these progress tracking components need to be harmonized across the various suppliers in order to achieve a cohesive and durable view of progress position.
Project managers will need to review, refine and agree on common progress tracking processes, reporting and metrics that are universally accepted by all suppliers. By creating this single harmonized view of progress tracking, you are more readily able to identify and address delivery volatility.
When first presented with the prospect of leading a strategic initiative, project managers need to balance the excitement of leading a high-visibility engagement with the practical realities of effectively and efficiently managing delivery. By putting essentials in place, project managers can successfully move on to the next step in the career journey: leading their second strategic initiative!
What essentials can your share with project managers new to strategic initiatives that will put them on the path to success?

When leaders use outsourcing it is often in an effort to enhance the organization's value proposition to its stakeholders.
Outsourcing allows leaders to focus on and invest in the firm's core services while using cost effective alternative sources of expertise for support services.
When services are outsourced, management and employees need to prepare for a transformation in organizational operations—and project managers must establish a strategy to guide that change.
Creating an Outsourcing Strategy
Project managers can help to create an effective outsourcing strategy based on a three-part structure:
1. Assess the current state
This assessment should define the firm's:
2. Consider the "to-be" state
The to-be state should be designed based on a comprehensive evaluation and request for proposal, including a good list of best alternatives to negotiated agreement items.
The to-be state must consider:
3. Consider the governance required to sustain the future state
A new internal operating model needs to be formed. This includes establishing teams to manage the contract, such as senior sponsorship, an operational management team or a vendor management team.
Then the outsourcer and the outsourcing organization should focus on continuous improvements that can be made to the process.
Avoiding Outsourcing Pitfalls
Project managers can avoid a few common pitfalls in their outsourcing projects:
Overall, if done with a defined end in mind, leaders can capitalize on outsourcing by reducing operational costs, reinvesting those savings in core services, and providing access to expertise and IT systems that would normally not have been funded via capital appropriation.
Have you been a part of any outsourcing efforts? What advice would you offer to project managers involved in similar projects?
3 Tips For Strong Executive Support

Human Aspects of PM,
Lessons Learned
Categories: Best Practices, Communication, Generational PM, Human Aspects of PM, Leadership, Lessons Learned
by Dave Wakeman
As project managers we are charged with balancing the needs of the C-suite with the needs of the day-to-day project implementers.
The problem is that this central role often lacks any clear or formal power. So we must rely on strong and meaningful executive sponsor support.
But how can you cultivate that support? Here are three tips.
1) Talk to your executive about the project's ROI.
Tell them why the project is important now, where it fits into the organization's long-term goals and what it will mean to the executive and the organization if you succeed.
Then listen to your executive sponsor's perception of the project and why they see it as important. This will ensure you are on the same page and will give you the ammunition you need to have productive conversations moving forward — especially handy if you end up needing additional resources during the project.
2) Set a schedule for project updates.
Don't let the momentum built during your first conversation die. Keep the executive engaged in the project through regular communications. And let your team know you will be discussing the project with your executive sponsor on a regular basis — this will help you have more productive conversations on both sides. Regular conversations with your team and executives helps you avoid the messy and time-consuming challenge of bringing people up to speed when they have been out of the loop for long periods.
3) Come forward with solutions.
When your project hits a rough patch, you can ask for help, you can wait to be told what to do or you can come forth with solutions.
The choice is easy: Always lead with solutions based on your expertise as the project lead. You are likely to get more buy-in from your executive sponsor with this approach because you have made the decision easier for them and you are acting like a partner, and not just a subordinate.
And that's it from me. What advice do you have for engaging executive sponsors throughout the project lifecycle?
(And, if you're interested, PMI's Executive Sponsor Engagement report has some additional info on this topic.)

When Project Benefits Erode

Project Delivery

By Conrado Morlan
The project you led is complete! You are celebrating with your stakeholders and other project managers. The company is right on track to achieve its strategic goals based on the benefits delivered by your project.
After handing over the project to the business functions, you are now ready for your next move. You are nervous and excited about discovering your new assignment, so you don't worry about your recently completed project. Somebody else will be following up on the project's contributions to the organization. You're done, right? Well, let's find out.
During the first six months of your new assignment, you overhear that the benefits of the project you recently completed are not at the expected level. In parallel with your current assignment, you start looking for clues about what's gone wrong.
Your findings reveal that related processes supporting the product or service delivered by your project are not aligned and are producing damage and losses, resulting in the erosion of benefits. Examples may include:
So what should you do? Focus on your current project assignment and ignore the benefits erosion? Or work on a solution with the project's stakeholders?
Whatever your answer, one thing you will need to do for sure is update the project's lessons learned. The project may be over, but benefits didn't reach the expected levels. So as the former project manager, you're obligated to document what went wrong to support efforts at establishing a solution.
Have you ever learned of benefits erosion after completing one of your projects? If so, how did you react?
Want to be a Strategic Project Manager? Communicate Better!
by Dave Wakeman
In recent months, I've been talking about how to become a more strategic project manager on this blog (see here, here and here). I thought it would be a good idea to circle back and talk about how being an effective communicator will help you be more strategic.
Here are three tips to remember:
1. Communications is at the base of performance.
Never lose sight of the fact that as a project manager, you are basically a paid communicator. And, as a communicator, you have certain responsibilities: being clear, keeping your message concise and making sure you are understood.
If you aren't meeting these requirements, you are likely going to struggle to achieve success in your projects. In addition, poor communicating may mean you miss the message about why this project is important to the organization. You also may miss information from the team on the ground that would shape the organization's deliberations about the project.
So always focus on making sure that your communications up and down the organization are clear, concise and understood.
2. A free flow of communications delivers new ideas.
Managing a lot of communications and information is challenging—I get that. But by the same token, if you aren't exposing yourself to information from many different sources (both inside and outside the organization), you're likely missing out on ideas that can transform your opinions and open you up to new ways of looking at things.
While being a strong project manager is about having a good, solid framework for decision-making, you aren't going to have all the technical expertise yourself. In addition, your team may be only focused on the one area that they are in charge of. So it's important that someone is open to the flow of ideas that can come from any direction and that may have the power to reshape your project in unimaginable ways.
You can achieve this by making sure you have conversations up and down the organization and pay attention to things outside of your scope of work. You never know where a good idea is going to come from.
3. Relationships are the key to project success—and they're built through communication.
If we aren't careful, we can forget that our project teams are groups of people with wants and needs. Remember: at the heart of our work are real people whom our projects impact.
That's why it's essential that you focus on the human aspect of being a project manager, especially if you want to become a top-notch, strategic project manager. Our human interactions and relationships are the key to our success as project managers.
This is something you should be taking action on all the time. Maybe you start by pulling someone on your team aside for a conversation about what's going on. Maybe you find out a little more about the person's home life. Or, you just make sure you have an open-door policy when it comes to information on your projects.
The key is to make sure you give your personal relationships an opportunity to thrive in the project setting.
Let me know what you think in a comment below!

The recent issue of the Journal of Petroleum Technology (JPT) includes a noteworthy article by Robin Beckwith, "Downhole Electronic Components: Achieving Performance Reliability." In this article, Beckwith carefully reviews the significant challenges facing the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry with a well-rounded discussion of the challenges associated with supporting ruggedized electronic components. The onboard components for these tools must be capable of withstanding the extreme conditions of downhole Exploration and Production (E&P), such as the case for measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tools.
Pushing components beyond aerospace & defense requirements
One of the initial challenges for the E&P is simple the ability to secure enough design research and production interest in the highly rugged environments that the onboard components face and then manufacture components for that niche market. As Beckwith underscores, the demand for tools is extremely strong and ongoing, yet the availability – the supply – is extremely limited because these extreme environments for ICs and tools typically surpass the requirements for aerospace and defense:
The problem is that the oil and gas industry's demand for high-temperature electronic components is relatively tine – combined with defense, space, aeronautics, and automotive, estimated to be less than 1% of the total component market.
Beckwith cites Robert Estes, manager of emerging technology, Drilling & Evaluation at Baker Hughes, noting that there is a strong need for collaboration between the aerospace, defense, and O&G sectors to better "encourage the development of components that can be shared […]." A direct result of the small market for these highly ruggedized components is an associated high cost – it is a simple Economics 101 situation.
Downhole is extreme and demands high tech, high temp, & high reliability
The challenges for MWD tools is the number of high tech, "instrumentation packages" that guide and collect data during drilling events. These real-time data and interactive capabilities between field base and the drillbit ensures accurate drilling while maintaining safety and control to prevent halts in operations. These necessary capabilities for successful drilling in complex geomorphologies is enabled through sophisticated electronic components that relay many different data in real-time and guide the drill operation remotely. Failure of parts is not only costly but can jeopardize the operation and the teams.
Temperature, pressure, vibration, and duration of running tools are all in the extreme levels compared to any other use case scenario across all industries. The article reminds readers that MWD tools not only must endure temperatures easily falling in the 150-200 degree Celsius range, they must do so under pressure conditions that range between 10,000 to 20,000 psi or more for one to two weeks at a time while continuously relaying large data sets. Obviously, reliability is essential for all of the downhole electronic components.
Testing and quality essential
Beckwith's article also underscores the critical aspect of not only securing components that meet these requirements, but also those that have been fully tested to ensure quality and reliability. Testing the many aspects of the components that go into the boards is essential because while some components are designed with the ruggedized, extreme tolerances, the majority of components on the boards likely do not fall into this category, there are simply none available in the market.
As a result, Beckwith notes, the engineers working with the electronic components have had to research and test not only the possible tolerances of the components, but dig down into the details of the semiconductor construction to aspects such as the type of wire bonding and various packaging materials. A few components on the market may be designed and tested for lower temperature ranges, may be suitable for the higher, downhole temperature environments simply due to the higher grade materials and packaging used in their manufacture.
Managing the lifecycle
Certainly, quality and reliability are critical to everyone, but when dealing with these extreme ICs having to operate in extremely challenging situations, there is little room for error and malfunctioning components. To this end, having supply chain partners that not only understand the difficulties, specializations, and requirements of ensuring quality and reliability for downhole components, but are able to source these components and perform the specialized tests is a strategic necessity.
However, the challenges do not end here. The task is made all the more difficult by the issue of component obsolescence. Todd Burke, senior executive at Smith & Associates, discussed these issues with Beckwith underscoring that managing lifecycles to ensure stock of these specific components is pivotal. Supply chain partners, such as Smith & Associates, are able to support customers by locating these hard-to-find parts and work to ensure proactive obsolescence management. Critical to this process are included the sophisticated anti-counterfeiting methods during the sourcing and testing of components. These components are particularly likely to be targeted by counterfeiters because of their low volume, high mix, and high-demand status. Providing the deep-knowledge and technical expertise to handle these vital aspects of component lifecycle management, sourcing, and testing are hallmarks of Smith's quality-driven services.

Fujitsu Semiconductor designed these MCUs for applications that require advanced, high-speed computing performance – ranging from general-purpose inverters, servomotors, PLCs and other industrial equipment to energy-efficient, inverter-based consumer appliances. The FM4 family consists of a total of 84 MCUs and samples will be made available from July. The devices build on Fujitsu's FM3 family, offering increased computational performance, enhanced peripheral functionality and an easy-to-use design.
FM4 MCUs in the MB9B560R/460R/360R/160R series can operate from 3 V or 5 V power supplies, and offer a range of memory options that includes SRAM, NOR flash, NAND flash and SDRAM. The MCUs feature an ultra-wide bus for on-chip flash memory that enables read access with no CPU wait state, to accelerate processing and reduce power requirements.
The Cortex-M4 core incorporates DSP and FPU functions for advanced computation. Algorithms for operating on-chip flash memory have been redesigned for greater speed and lower power consumption. The current required to run the real-time clock (RTC) and power the device via the dedicated VBAT pin can be limited to approximately 1.5 µA, making these high-performance MCUs useful even for standby power-conscious applications. The devices support a total of 100,000 rewrite cycles and data retention of up to 20 years.
"With our FM3 family, we have one of the broadest line-ups for MCUs based on the ARM Cortex-M3," says Wolf Fronauer, Marketing Manager at Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe. "The new FM4 family offers our customers even more performance and peripheral functionality while seamlessly integrating with our existing portfolio of FM3 MCUs. This means customers can select highly optimised embedded microcontrollers that are an exact match for virtually any set of embedded application requirements, all without leaving the FM ecosystem. Later this year, we will launch the FM0+ family: based on ARM Cortex-M0+, this rounds off the portfolio by adding support for low-cost and ultra-low-power applications."
The FM4 family also includes new peripheral functionality and enhances existing functions. The analogue

Earlier this year there was plenty of concern about the effect that extremely low rates were having on those who rely upon the interest from savings to boost their income, with much of the sympathy reserved for the plight of pensioners.
In the year or so since the UK's economy was knocked sideways by the credit crunch, we have seen the Bank of England's base rate rapidly fall down from 5 per cent in September 2008 to its current level of 0.5 per cent, where it has stood since March this year.
Over the same period the average monthly interest rate for a £10,000 balance in an instant-access account reduced from 4.19 per cent down to just 0.88 per cent. To put that in perspective, that resulted in a fall in monthly interest from £34.91 down to £7.33 for non-taxpayers.
Against that backdrop, the Government rushed out a surprise increase in the annual Individual Savings Account (ISA) allowance from £7,200 up to £10,200. It will be phased in on 6 October 2009 for those aged 50 or over (by 6 April 2010) and from 6 April 2010 for all other ISA savers.
Presently, up to £7,200 can be invested in a stocks and shares ISA – or up to £3,600 in a cash ISA, with the option of putting the remains of the annual allowance in a stocks and shares ISA. When the increase comes into effect, up to £5,100 may be invested in a cash ISA.
The changes have stirred up something of a hornet's nest among providers, who could have done without the change being implemented during a tax year. Computer systems can't always cope with such changes and one can only imagine the bedlam that it has caused in IT departments.
Very few banks and building societies have yet revealed how they're going to deal with the October change, but there are three different types of people aged 50 or over affected by the new rules. First are those who will not, by 6 October, have used any of their cash ISA allowance – they should not have any problems in finding a cash ISA home for up to £5,100.
There is also a group of people – probably the vast majority – who have already put some money into a variable-rate cash ISA for this tax year and who should not have any problems topping up the additional allowance as well.
However, there are potential problems for a third group – those who have already used some of this year's cash ISA allowance by investing in a fixed-interest rate ISA.
Most fixed-rate offerings are for one-off lump sums and have terms and conditions that preclude further investments. If the ISA company is willing to vary that condition and permit an additional top-up, the second issue is whether the company will be offering the same fixed interest rate.
The majority of available interest rates are higher now than they were back in, say, April, so you may want a better return than that being paid on your existing fixed rate.
If you want to take advantage of the increased allowance, the first thing to do is to contact your provider to find out whether they will permit you to top up your ISA. Some may still be deciding what to do so it's possible that they may not be able to give you an answer until nearer 6 October.
If they are not willing to let you top up, it is probably worth asking whether they will waive any penalties that might have been imposed if you transfer your ISA elsewhere.
You can't open two cash ISAs for the same tax year, but if you've already opened a cash ISA this tax year you should be able to transfer it from one company to another. If you do so, remember that the correct way to do this is to fill in the forms at your intended new ISA company and then they will arrange for the funds to be transferred. Don't just withdraw the funds, otherwise you'll lose the tax-free allowance.
Clearly it's down to each saver's preference and attitude to risk as to whether they want to use a cash ISA or a stocks-and-shares ISA, but it is important to note that each year's allowance is on a use-it-or-lose-it basis. Interest rates payable on cash ISAs may look very low at the moment but, if you use each year's allowance, you will build up a tidy capital balance, which may benefit from much higher interest rates in future years.
Some savers who have invested the full amount every year in cash ISAs and their predecessor, tax exempt special savings accounts (Tessas), may, by now, have more than £50,000 shielded from tax. Even at the average cash ISA rate of 2.04 per cent, this sum would earn annual interest of £1,020 or, at the highest available fixed rate of 4.6 per cent, some £2,300.
With variable-rate savings accounts, it is worth checking regularly what interest rate you are being paid as it is possible you can get a better return by transferring to an alternative company.
Cash ISAs are no different. For example, Cheltenham & Gloucester's Cash ISA pays just 0.05 per cent gross which, for a £3,600 balance, would pay annual interest of £1.80. This 0.05 per cent rate can be easily bettered elsewhere. However, not all cash ISAs will permit transfers in from other cash ISAs and some ISAs are restricted to investments of this year's allowance only.
The tax-free status of cash ISAs means that they are even worth using by those taxpayers who cannot afford to put money away for lengthy periods and effectively need a transactional account. If that's the case make sure you pick a genuinely instant or easy access account, which does not restrict the number of withdrawals or impose any penalties.

Report: Colin Kaepernick changes agents
Colin Kaepernick reportedly has switched agents.
Colin Kaepernick reportedly has switched agents.
The New York Jets are in desperate need of a quarterback, and there's a good chance the San Francisco 49ers could move on from theirs this offseason.
Remember that culture of toughness and winning that Jim Harbaugh instituted in San Francisco? It took just two years for it to erode completely.
Colin Kaepernick was benched last weekend during an abysmal performance against the Chicago Bears, but he is not losing his job permanently.
The San Francisco 49ers benched quarterback Colin Kaepernick on Sunday, and he was a bit taken aback by it.
Colin Kaepernick is reportedly planning to opt out of his contract after the 2016 season and become a free agent.
During training camp back in August, Colin Kaepernick wore a shirt depicting former Cuban leader Fidel Castro meeting with Malcolm X.
Colin Kaepernick's latest comments about Fidel Castro will likely create even more strain in his relationship with the American public.

Slithering 'til Daybreak
Burning through the last fuel at Prague's best after-hours spots.
The speed had gotten a bit chunky in Alisa's pocket, due partly to condensation but more to whatever crap had been used to cut it. God forbid a dealer would sell quality crystal meth in this town. Ask any non-junkie drug enthusiast if they'd be willing to pay a bit more for less filler, and answer is always yes. There's little to be done, though. Just as hot air rises, drug dealers will always water down their product.
We laid down the first rails in the tiny park on the Staré Město side of ?tefánikův bridge. Crush, cut, sniff. And, in my case, sniff again. And again. I was having trouble with allergies and had even less than my usual one good nostril. The speed hung up there like a crusty booger, forcing me to pull it in with a deep breath and suffer the burn.
And off we went. First to the usual spots where we saw old friends, new friends, and strangers. School's back in session, so the bars are packed. Gaggles of people wide-eyed with wonder, drink and drug. Five hours later, after hours of speedy comfortable chatter, the house lights are on. Time flies. It's time to choose the sunrise venue.
After a long meander through old town, I found myself taking stock of my life while sitting in Batalion at an hour that would've yielded daylight three months ago. I feel at home in this place; partly from the metal soundtrack that echoes my teenage years, partly for the dirty music club feel that echoes my college years. The front room upstairs offers several tables with a view of the street, and the flow of people keeps you alive like circulating water for captive lobsters. The basement has larger tables and dark, dungeon bricks appropriate to the soundtrack. Batalion is a good 4:00 a.m. spot, the place to go when you need to sit with a drink and consider what's next. You're no longer at 110%, but aren't ready to head home, either.
It's 4:40 a.m. and we hit the baggie for the last time. Drug use in Prague is about still believing that the wizard is real, about never seeing the old man behind the curtain. It's about knocking down the doubts and convincing oneself that life should be easy. It's about forgetting that true satisfaction comes from challenge and struggle and - let's just say it - from pain. If you're not careful at 4:40 a.m. - with the raw edge of come-down on the horizon, when the field at the trance party no longer looks like a magical wonderland, when you make the mistake of looking in the fluorescent-lit mirror in the bathroom - you can fall hard into a despair of self-loathing borne of self-doubt.
So you hit the baggie one last time. Or you eat that second half of the second pill. At 4:55 a.m., I was cupping this ridiculous destiny in my hands, cuddled not with a loved one in a soft bed, but with a friend in a filthy bathroom stall, holding out my American Express card so he could take a hit of filthy Czech bathtub crank.
Decision time: Industry55 or Le Clan. There are other places, sure, but these two Vinohrady neighbors are the most dependable places to escape the light. Industry for dancing, Le Clan for landing; each with their own unique smell of decadence. With a fresh dose of amphetamine bravado running through the body, there's no reason not to do both. All you need at this stage in the night are people. You need to witness life being lived. You need to be surrounded by fellow crawlers of similar mind frame and distortion, either sped up or riding out their last, diminishing waves.
Industry is the best choice in tail-end dance clubs, a downstairs hideout where you can't look behind the curtain because there is no curtain. This club knows what it is, knows what it isn't, and everyone's there for the same reason: to burn off the traces of rocket fuel running through their blood. The two-level dance area is anchored by a shiny bar and flanked by a chill-out room with couches. In back is another bar and a small foosball room. On Saturday and Sunday, the music (heavy on the straight-ahead techno) goes until noon.
When you want to start the descent, get out of Industry and walk down Vinohradská, turn right onto Balbínova and ring the buzzer at 23. This is Le Clan. With good DJs, sexy crowd, soft-red lighting, and a gritty, couch-strewn ping-pong dungeon, this is the best after-party scene in Prague. When your head is still buzzing around like a fly caught in a jar but your body has lost the rush, find a spot and stretch. This is when conversational inhibitions are beautifully absent, when statements between friends are delightfully deconstructed. This is when your drugs are almost done lying to you, but not quite.
When the tanks are empty, wish your friends goodnight and step into the crisp daylight. Head home to watch some movies, maybe listen to some music, letting your body slowly and gently touch down. Just try not to sleep the whole day away. That's when the self-loathing of the day-after really takes hold.
