More than 20 artists will pay homage to Félicien Marboeuf in an eclectic exhibition opening in Paris next week. Although he's hardly a household name, Marboeuf (1852-1924) inspired both Gustave Flaubert and Marcel Proust. Having been the model for Frédéric Moreau (Sentimental Education), he resolved to become an author lest he should remain a character all his life. But he went on to write virtually nothing: his correspondence with Proust is all that was ever published – and posthumously at that. Marboeuf, you see, had such a lofty conception of literature that any novels he may have perpetrated would have been pale reflections of an unattainable ideal. In the event, every single page he failed to write achieved perfection, and he became known as the "greatest writer never to have written". Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter, wrote John Keats.
Jean-Yves Jouannais, the curator of this exhibition, had already placed Marboeuf at the very heart of Artistes sans Oeuvres (Artists without Works), his cult book that first appeared in 1997 and has just been reprinted in an expanded edition. The artists he brings together all reject the productivist approach to art, and do not feel compelled to churn out works simply to reaffirm their status as creators. They prefer life to the dead hand of museums and libraries, and are generally more concerned with being (or not being) than doing. Life is their art as much as art is their life – perhaps even more so.
Jouannais believes that the attempt at an art-life merger, which so preoccupied the avant garde of the 20th century, originated with Walter Pater's contention that experience, not "the fruit of experience", was an end in itself. Oscar Wilde's nephew, the fabled pugilist poet Arthur Cravan, who kick-started the dada revolution with Francis Picabia before disappearing off the coast of Mexico – embodied (along with Jacques Vaché or Neal Cassady) this mutation. Turning one's existence into poetry was now where it was at.
"I like living, breathing better than working," Marcel Duchamp famously declared. "My art is that of living. Each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual nor cerebral; it's a sort of constant euphoria." The time frame of the artwork shifted accordingly, from posterity – Paul Éluard's "difficult desire to endure" – to the here and now. Jouannais celebrates the skivers of the artistic world, those who can't be arsed. "If I did anything less it would cease to be art," Albert M Fine admitted cheekily on one occasion. Duchamp also prided himself on doing as little as possible: should a work of art start taking shape he would let it mature – sometimes for several decades – like a fine wine.
Phantom works abound in Jouannais's book, from Harald Szeemann's purely imaginary Museum of Obsessions to the recreation of fictitious exhibitions by Alain Bublex through Stendhal's numerous aborted novels or the Brautigan Library's collection of rejected manuscripts. There is of course the case of Roland Barthes, whose career as a theorist was partly a means of not writing the novel he dreamed of (Vita Nova). One of my favourite examples is Société Perpendiculaire, co-created by Jouannais with Nicolas Bourriaud and others in the early 80s. This "hyperrealistic bureaucratic structure", dedicated to the "poetry of virtual events", had no other function but to produce reams of administrative texts pertaining to projects that would never see the light of day.
The Société Perpendiculaire would have provided a perfect working environment for Flaubert's cretinous copyists Bouvard and Pécuchet, whose influence looms large in these pages. Just as Jorge Luis Borges's Pierre Menard rewrites Don Quixote verbatim, Gérard Collin-Thiébaut set about copying Sentimental Education in its entirety in 1985. Sherrie Levine also reduced artistic production to reproduction by signing famous paintings or photographs by other artists. Erasure is an even more common strategy. Man Ray set the tone with Lautgedicht (1924), his painting of a poem with all the words blanked out, which anticipated Emilio Isgrò's Cancellature of the 1960s. The most famous examples here are Robert Rauschenberg's Erased de Kooning Drawing (1953) and Yves Klein's infamous empty exhibition (1958).
Jouannais's artists without works are essentially of a sunny disposition, totally at odds with the impotent rage of the "failure fundamentalists", as he calls them.
Displaying a wealth of material – paintings, sketches, collages, photographs and installations – the exhibition focuses on Marboeuf the man rather than the author. Marboeuf as a beautiful child; in middle age, bald as a coot, with a creepy-looking smile on his face; Marboeuf looking suspiciously Proustian on his death bed; Marboeuf's grave ... This biographical angle is hardly surprising given the author's limited output, but rather more so when you consider that he is purely a figment of Jouannais's imagination.

Why Women Should Work Out With Other Women
Going to the gym can be intimidating. You've got men (and often women!) with biceps the size of your head, making loud noises as they lift dumbbells and barbells twice their weight. It's crowded, overwhelmed with people who are overwhelmed with the time and commitment it takes to get in shape.
Working out with a group of fitness-loving, healthy eating and soul-inspiring women is not only motivating, but completely fulfilling.
Even when you've mustered up the courage to get to the gym, you've got to be OK with sweating next to dozens of people you've never met and ignore the fact that they may be sweating all over you.
For some, the gym is sacred ground. It's a place where they find their peace, delve into their soul and tap into their truth and inner strength. I salute you, I honor you — but the gym just isn't for me.
In my years as a fitness and gymnastics coach, I've found that the most successful workouts for me and the women in my life are the ones that surround me with like-minded women. There's no denying that working out with a group of fitness-loving, healthy eating and soul-inspiring women is not only motivating, but completely fulfilling.
There are a number of reasons I leave my workouts feeling physically strong and emotionally nourished, and they're all unique to working out with other women.
1. There's no judgement or competition.
We often have similar insecurities and physical needs, so when we gather together and sweat it out, we can inspire our sisters to smash their goals and chase their insecurities away. It's a never-ending cycle: We're inspired to inspire and so on until we've hit our goals and are moving on to bigger and better ones, with our ladies by our side!
2. Workout sessions can double as therapy.
We never have to worry about the things we can't control, because the likelihood that we're going through the same thing is high. For instance, I have children and sometimes my bladder just doesn't agree with jumping jacks!
We're able to relax, share our embarrassing stories, commiserate when Aunt Flo comes a knocking, giggle together when our boobs hit the floor before we've hit that 90 degrees on our push-ups and never worry about how our butt looks in yoga pants.
3. You can relax and focus on your personal goals.
Not only is motivation increased when women work out together and the atmosphere relaxed, but we're able to build workouts designed specifically for us. Men and women have some very obvious (and not so obvious) physiological differences, making exercise a very different experience for each. Not all workouts are created equal and while some can benefit both sexes, others don't compliment the inherent physical attributes of women.
When you work out with guys, it can be frustrating trying to keep up with them. In a group of women, you're not racing to see who's faster, stronger or feeling stressed because you're just a bit slower than the guys in your group. You can relax, ditch the competition and focus on building strength and stamina.
If your goals are evading you and the gym is just not your place, find your local women's fitness program, or even just a group of friends ready to commit to get fit and get moving! Having that solid group of inspiring sisters to push you beyond your comfort zone might just be the kick start you need to live your BEST life. Getting fit and healthy shouldn't be a burden, it should be a gift!

Flames and Stars continues playoff pushby Tal Pinchevsky
TV - SNET-West (HD), FS-Southwest+ (HD)
Last 10 -- Calgary 7-2-1; Dallas 5-4-0
Season series -- This is the fourth and final meeting this season between these Western Conference rivals. Calgary has won the previous three matchups, most recently a 4-2 win on Feb. 16 in which two third-period goals scored 2:12 apart, including a short-hander from Steve Staios, gave the Flames the victory.
Big story - In the cluttered Western Conference playoff race, these two teams have taken divergent paths towards the playoffs since the Christmas holidays. The Flames have invited all kinds of bad puns by being one of the League's hottest teams, going 20-6-6 since the holiday break, as Dallas has been up and down while battling injuries.
While Calgary has gone from a team in turmoil to a playoff contender, Dallas has taken a slight dip in the standings. After leading the Pacific Division for most of the season's first half, the Stars were overtaken by San Jose for the division lead after a 1-8-1 slide, but have climbed back into the top eight in the West after dropping as low as 11th.
Team Scope:
Flames - With four wins in their last five games, Calgary's scorching play has continued into the season's home stretch. On Sunday against Nashville, another team battling neck-and-neck for a playoff spot, Curtis Glencross scored the winner midway through the third period, giving Calgary a big 3-2 win.
While Glencross scored the winner, the game was particularly memorable for Jarome Iginla's penalty-shot goal in the second period. The goal gave Iginla 30 goals for the 10th consecutive season, making him just the 10th NHL player to achieve the feat.
"I never dreamt it would be on a penalty shot," Iginla said. "I've had a few of them in front of the fans here at home and I haven't put any penalty shots in at home until that, so that was a treat for me."
Stars - Despite the absence of star center Brad Richards, who is out with a concussion, the Stars have rebounded from their slide by going 5-0-1 in their last six games. Each of those wins pitted the Stars against a team in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race, including division leaders San Jose and Detroit.
Against the Kings on Monday, Jamie Benn's shorthanded goal in the third period tied the game 3-3, and Brenden Morrow scored the winner 38 seconds into overtime. The OT winner gave Morrow 26 goals for the season, his highest total since scoring a career-high 32 in the 2007-08 season. The win also gave Dallas a League-high nine victories this season when trailing after two periods.
"This group's been good about (coming back) all year," Morrow said. "Last year and in year's past that may have been something that we weren't mentally tough enough to overcome."
The Stars have a chance to help themseles in the next couple of weeks -- this is the opener of a seven-game homestand.
Who's hot - Iginla has 5 goals during his current four-game point streak. Glencross and Olli Jokinen both have 4 points in their last two games. … For Dallas, Benn has goals in four consecutive games while Mike Ribeiro has 9 points in his last nine games.
Injury report - For the Flames, Brendan Morrison is out for up to three weeks with a knee injury while Daymond Langkow (neck), Raitis Ivanans (concussion), and Adam Pardy (shoulder) are all on IR. … Richards remains out for the Stars while defenseman Nicklas Grossman is day-to-day with a hip-pointer.
Stat pack - With one more shorthanded goal, Morrow will have nine for his career, tying Jere Lehtinen for second on Dallas' all-time list. He'll still have a ways to go to catch up with franchise leader Mike Modano, who scored 29 shorties during his time with the Stars.
Puck drop - If Calgary tops Dallas, the Flames will sweep the season series against the Stars for the first time since the 1991-92 season, when the franchise was still known as the Minnesota North Stars.

Special Christmas Concert provided fun for families
The Chicago Early Music Consort presented a special program in the parish hall recently entitled: A Renaissance Christmas.
This celebration of the 12th day of Christmas brought out many of the parish families who thoroughly enjoyed the concert.
The Eve of the Feast of the Epiphany is the twelfth day of Christmas, and tonight is known as"Twelfth Night" (or "Twelfthnight"). It begins the celebration of Christ's revealing His Divinity in three ways, which is formally celebrated on Epiphany:
* to the Magi who, guided by the great and mysterious Star of Bethlehem, came to visit Him when He was a Baby (Matthew 2:1-19)
* through His Baptism by St. John, when "the Spirit of God descending as a dove" came upon Him and there was heard a voice from Heaven saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3, Mark 1, Luke 3, John 1), and all Three Persons of the Most Holy Trinity were manifest (Note: the Baptism of Our Lord is also commemorated on the 13th of January)
* through His first public miracle—that of the wedding at Cana when Our Lord turned water into wine at the request of His Mother (John 2). Just as God's first miracle before the Egyptian pharaoh, through Moses, was turning the waters of the Nile into blood, Our Lord's first miracle was turning water into wine.
In many Catholic homes (especially Italian ones), it's not Christmas Day that is for giving presents to children, but the Feast of Epiphany, when the gifts are given in a way related to the Magi. So today will have a "feel" of Christmas Eve, and because of the Epiphany's association with the Magis' gift-giving, tomorrow is often referred to colloquially as the "Little Christmas."
It is today that the Three Kings should reach the creche (heretofore, they should be kept away from it) and that Baby Jesus should be adorned with signs of royalty, such as a crown, ermine, and gold or purple cloth. Set up golden candlesticks around the manger where He lies.
Along with the crowns, scepters, gold, and royal purple, peacocks are also a symbol for the day. They are more generally a symbol of immortality (and therefore a good symbol for Easter, too), but also a symbol of royalty and of the glory revealed by Christ today.
The most profound symbols of all, though, are light as a symbol of theophany; wine in memory of the miracle at the wedding in Cana; water and the dove in memory of Christ's Baptism by St. John; the Three Kings, their gifts, and the Star of Bethlehem.
On this Twelfth Night, the children this night especially enjoyed learning about the Medieval period instruments. The concert presented the finest of sacred and secular Christmas works.
For more information about the Chicago Early Music Consort call Gary Berkenstock at 847.296.4829.
The ensemble is available for bookings for either individual events and as part of concert series.
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, strategems and spoils…
– William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, 4.1
Everyone who attended the concert had a chance to win a special Christmas prize and at the end of the concert Miss Ava Voissem won the special Christmas gift from the parish. Merry Christmas!

Jo is really special.
Will Jo be putting out any new videos or is she retired now? Looks like her last one with Viv Thomas was 4 years ago! Come back Jo!
I believe she is retired now, SoCalDream... one of the best models ever :-)
Simply awesome
Together with Sophie Moone the most beautiful Model here (my opinion) It is a petty that both have retiered, or havent they? Ehm, Rose can you say something about the models that have retired or dont have a contract here anymore. Like a small comment to the top Models here on the page?
Agreed, Nils... Jo is a superstar (and Sophie was one of my faves too – you have good taste!).
I'm not sure I understand, are you suggesting that we should put a note on a model's page if she has retired? That would be very hard to do, as models come and go, and come back, and give up again... and so on! :-)
Ah, Ok i understand.
One os the prettiest and most prolific actress's ever! I've always appreciated how open her tight little ass is for play!
I'm having trouble playing MP4 videos. Can anyone help me?
Hi Rose. Thanks for responding. I tried to play the first video I downloaded - "Sex Message Scene 1" and it wouldn't play properly. It was just a sequence of stills. I tried Quicktime and that wouldn't work. I sure would appreciate it if you could help me.
Hi Joetoo8, can you give me a little more info about this please - are there videos on this site you are having trouble streaming or downloading? Can you tell me which? Thanks.
Hi Rose. I have downloaded four Jo videos, so these are the ones I'm having trouble with. I don't know what would happen if I were to download a different model. I installed VLC Media Player and that won't work either. As I said, Quicktime won't work. So, any Jo video that I download, I cannot play properly. Thanks. I hope you folks can help me. I was told that iTunes will play videos, but I don't know how to download that.
Thanks for the info, Joetoo8, I will pass this on to the technical team.
What a load sweet booty this site rocks.
numero one c est Monica sweet
the best
glad to see one of my favorites at number 1
Looking at her just drives me insane.
best girl of all time by a mile!
Why did you take off so many of her shoots!?
cmon folks she is awesome

On the 2017 season of MasterChef, Heston prepares a triple treat and teaches you how to make eggs three ways, with Kossies eggs!
Air Date: Thu 22 Jun 2017
Watch how to perfectly poach an egg with Kossies eggs
Kossies buys certified free range eggs from local farmers to package as Kossies. All farmer's must use a certain grade feed with no hormones or preservatives or dyes so every egg is as natural as the day the hen laid it.
KOSSIES Free Range Eggs! The freshest free range eggs in Geelong.
At Kossies Free Range Eggs, we pride ourselves on freshness and quality. We provide fresh, quality free range eggs. Our chickens roam free and we supply free range eggs to Melbourne and the Geelong region.
On 2 March 2016, CHOICE hosted a free range BBQ at Parliament House in Canberra. Julie was there representing Kossies Free Range Eggs, telling Senators and MPs that consumers want clear and meaningful free range egg labels #giveacluck. Read Julie's speech in response to this campaign.
April 5, 2016, Jodie Whittaker, Geelong Advertiser
IMAGINE investing in an expensive luxury vehicle, knowing it is exhaust- free, sustainably constructed and produced by artisans, yet beneath its impressive paint job, you've bought a cheap, exhaust-spewing, generic, inferior model, assembled by slave labour in a polluting factory. Read the full article.
Geelong egg producer Julie Kos at her genuinely free-range farm.
There are over 2 million eggs sold in Australia each year that are labeled free range when they are not! Federal, state and territory consumer ministers are in the process of developing a national standard, setting clear rules for which eggs can claim to be free range and which can't.
True free range means 1,500 hens per hectare. Kossies Free Range Eggs are true free range, support us today #giveacluck
<(' )
Read more about the campaign from CHOICE.
"The best practice for chicken health and the production of top quality eggs involves providing access to pasture, so all the chooks are outside all day, able to forage and behave naturally. If pasture condition is poor, so will the eggs and the hens be," Julie Kos said.
Geelong Advertiser, 16 June 2015
Julie and Paul Kos were at a crossroads in life when they decided to become egg farmers. Now, with seven full-time employees, they are the largest supplier of free-range eggs in the Geelong region.
The Weekly Review, Greater Geelong, 10 October 2014
"We currently have 9,000 Hy-Line Brown chooks but we're going through a massive expansion and through our networks we're putting on about 150,000 birds within a 12-month period. We've now gone into our own rearing facility down in Cororooke growing out our own day old pullets. We are trying to be totally integrated in the business and can grow about 460,000 chooks a year."
Geelong & Surf Coast Living Magazine, Autumn 2014

This is a portable high performance MPPT solar charge controller module that is capable of charging larger battery banks of all types. We mainly use this solar charge controller module to charge our LFP 180 Battery Moduels but the charge controller can be setup to charge other AGM or Lead Acid battery types also.
The system is housed in a military grade rugged Pelican 1500 case that has the following exterior dimensions: 18.5" x 14.06" x 6.93" . The case weighs approx 20 pounds.
The system can be used with the lid open or closed because the high power cooling fans will turn on automatically once the internal temp raises above 100F and then turn off once the internal temp drops below 80F.
The solar input port is a special 100 amp twist lock connector that will never accidentally pull out. The battery connection port is also a special twist lock connector that will never pull out on accident. The input / output ports can not be plugged in incorrectly due to the way the connectors are designed so there is no need to worry about plugging in the connectors incorrectly.
The system had a very nice digital LCD display that shows all the important information about the current status of your solar array and how its performing at any particular time. The LCD display will also show you a graph of the performance over the course of the day from sun up to sun down. The system logs data every 5 minutes in its Recent logs allowing you to view the last 24 hours. The system keeps a log of daily solar performance over the course of the last 380 days also.
This solar charge controller is one of the best and most efficient designs currently available. This is the same charge controller we use in our LFP 100 Pro & Basecamp 2K Solar Generator systems.
The lines on the graph below represent the power output current at different Max Power Points Voltage (not VOC). To estimate the Max Power Point of your system; first you have to find out the VOC of the Photovoltaic strings connected to the solar input. For example If 5 Modules in series in one string and STC VOC rating is 36.6V, then the VOC of the string equals: 5(modules) * 36.6v(STC VOC) = 183V.
The rule of thumb says that the MPP will be around 80% of the string's VOC; 183v * 0.8 = 146.4v On the graph of the Classic model you have, the X axis represents the Battery Voltage and the Y axis is the Output current. Knowing that, go to the corresponding graph and look for the a line close to your system's MPP voltage and you can then determine the max output power for your system design.
You can see in the graph below that we are being conservative when we label the charge controller as a 1100w solar charge controller, its really capable of handling more power as shown below.
The module can charge 12, 24, 36, and 48v battery banks just fine. The higher the voltage of your battery bank the more solar input power the charge controller can handle.
Now lets talk about what the MPPT "Maximum Power Point Tracking" features do for you and how it works.
This section covers the theory and operation of "Maximum Power Point Tracking" as used in solar electric charge controllers.
A MPPT, or maximum power point tracker is an electronic DC to DC converter that optimizes the match between the solar array (PV panels), and the battery bank or utility grid. To put it simply, they convert a higher voltage DC output from solar panels (and a few wind generators) down to the lower voltage needed to charge batteries.
(These are sometimes called "power point trackers" for short - not to be confused with PANEL trackers, which are a solar panel mount that follows, or tracks, the sun).
Solar cells are neat things. Unfortunately, they are not very smart. Neither are batteries - in fact batteries are downright stupid. Most PV panels are built to put out a nominal 12 volts. The catch is "nominal". In actual fact, almost all "12 volt" solar panels are designed to put out from 16 to 18 volts. The problem is that a nominal 12 volt battery is pretty close to an actual 12 volts - 10.5 to 12.7 volts, depending on state of charge. Under charge, most batteries want from around 13.2 to 14.4 volts to fully charge - quite a bit different than what most panels are designed to put out.
OK, so now we have this neat 130 watt solar panel. Catch #1 is that it is rated at 130 watts at a particular voltage and current. The Kyocera KC-130 is rated at 7.39 amps at 17.6 volts. (7.39 amps times 17.6 volts = 130 watts).
Why 130 Watts does NOT equal 130 watts
Where did my Watts go?
So what happens when you hook up this 130 watt panel to your battery through a regular charge controller?
Your panel puts out 7.4 amps. Your battery is setting at 12 volts under charge: 7.4 amps times 12 volts = 88.8 watts. You lost over 41 watts - but you paid for 130. That 41 watts is not going anywhere, it just is not being produced because there is a poor match between the panel and the battery. With a very low battery, say 10.5 volts, it's even worse - you could be losing as much as 35% (11 volts x 7.4 amps = 81.4 watts. You lost about 48 watts.
One solution you might think of - why not just make panels so that they put out 14 volts or so to match the battery?
Catch #22a is that the panel is rated at 130 watts at full sunlight at a particular temperature (STC - or standard test conditions). If temperature of the solar panel is high, you don't get 17.4 volts. At the temperatures seen in many hot climate areas, you might get under 16 volts. If you started with a 15 volt panel (like some of the so-called "self regulating" panels), you are in trouble, as you won't have enough voltage to put a charge into the battery. Solar panels have to have enough leeway built in to perform under the worst of conditions. The panel will just sit there looking dumb, and your batteries will get even stupider than usual.
Nobody likes a stupid battery.
There is some confusion about the term "tracking":
Panel tracking - this is where the panels are on a mount that follows the sun. The most common are the Zomeworks and Wattsun. These optimize output by following the sun across the sky for maximum sunlight. These typically give you about a 15% increase in winter and up to a 35% increase in summer.
This is just the opposite of the seasonal variation for MPPT controllers. Since panel temperatures are much lower in winter, they put out more power. And winter is usually when you need the most power from your solar panels due to shorter days.
Maximum Power Point Tracking is electronic tracking - usually digital. The charge controller looks at the output of the panels, and compares it to the battery voltage. It then figures out what is the best power that the panel can put out to charge the battery. It takes this and converts it to best voltage to get maximum AMPS into the battery. (Remember, it is Amps into the battery that counts). Most modern MPPT's are around 93-97% efficient in the conversion. You typically get a 20 to 45% power gain in winter and 10-15% in summer. Actual gain can vary widely depending weather, temperature, battery state of charge, and other factors.
Grid tie systems are becoming more popular as the price of solar drops and electric rates go up. There are several brands of grid-tie only (that is, no battery) inverters available. All of these have built in MPPT. Efficiency is around 94% to 97% for the MPPT conversion on those.
Here is where the optimization, or maximum power point tracking comes in. Assume your battery is low, at 12 volts. A MPPT takes that 17.6 volts at 7.4 amps and converts it down, so that what the battery gets is now 10.8 amps at 12 volts. Now you still have almost 130 watts, and everyone is happy.
Ideally, for 100% power conversion you would get around 11.3 amps at 11.5 volts, but you have to feed the battery a higher voltage to force the amps in. And this is a simplified explanation - in actual fact the output of the MPPT charge controller might vary continually to adjust for getting the maximum amps into the battery.
Above is a screen shot from the Maui Solar Software "PV-Design Pro" computer program (click on picture for full size image). If you look at the green line, you will see that it has a sharp peak at the upper right - that represents the maximum power point. What an MPPT controller does is "look" for that exact point, then does the voltage/current conversion to change it to exactly what the battery needs. In real life, that peak moves around continuously with changes in light conditions and weather.
A MPPT tracks the maximum power point, which is going to be different from the STC (Standard Test Conditions) rating under almost all situations. Under very cold conditions a 120 watt panel is actually capable of putting over 130+ watts because the power output goes up as panel temperature goes down - but if you don't have some way of tracking that power point, you are going to lose it. On the other hand under very hot conditions, the power drops - you lose power as the temperature goes up. That is why you get less gain in summer.
MPPT's are most effective under these conditions:
Winter, and/or cloudy or hazy days - when the extra power is needed the most.
Ok, so now back to the original question - What is a MPPT?
The Power point tracker is a high frequency DC to DC converter. They take the DC input from the solar panels, change it to high frequency AC, and convert it back down to a different DC voltage and current to exactly match the panels to the batteries. MPPT's operate at very high audio frequencies, usually in the 20-80 kHz range. The advantage of high frequency circuits is that they can be designed with very high efficiency transformers and small components. The design of high frequency circuits can be very tricky because the problems with portions of the circuit "broadcasting" just like a radio transmitter and causing radio and TV interference. Noise isolation and suppression becomes very important.
There are a few non-digital (that is, linear) MPPT's charge controls around. These are much easier and cheaper to build and design than the digital ones. They do improve efficiency somewhat, but overall the efficiency can vary a lot - and we have seen a few lose their "tracking point" and actually get worse. That can happen occasionally if a cloud passed over the panel - the linear circuit searches for the next best point, but then gets too far out on the deep end to find it again when the sun comes out. Thankfully, not many of these around any more.
The power point tracker (and all DC to DC converters) operates by taking the DC input current, changing it to AC, running through a transformer (usually a toroid, a doughnut looking transformer), and then rectifying it back to DC, followed by the output regulator. In most DC to DC converters, this is strictly an electronic process - no real smarts are involved except for some regulation of the output voltage. Charge controllers for solar panels need a lot more smarts as light and temperature conditions vary continuously all day long, and battery voltage changes.
All recent models of digital MPPT controllers available are microprocessor controlled. They know when to adjust the output that it is being sent to the battery, and they actually shut down for a few microseconds and "look" at the solar panel and battery and make any needed adjustments. Although not really new (the Australian company AERL had some as early as 1985), it has been only recently that electronic microprocessors have become cheap enough to be cost effective in smaller systems (less than 1 KW of panel). MPPT charge controls are now manufactured by several companies.

Yeah I'm glad that the storm is over. When I went to my backyard, all I could hear was a squishing sound every time I took a step- that's how drenched the ground was.
I'm following you on instagram already I think. I haven't been on since forever. I guess it doesn't help that I no longer have instagram since I had to reset my phone to factory settings because there was no more internal memory. Hope everything is well with you =)

Have you ever experienced a dream that was so real you physically responded? Maybe you started talking or yelling in your sleep? Maybe you dreamt that you had to pee and well... you know! I enjoy watching my dogs dream because they experience this type of reality. I know when they're chasing a chipmunk or squirrel because their paws start twitching and their tales will start to jump. Sometimes, they even bark in their sleep. Whatever it is they are chasing, it's real.
So, are your dreams that real? If not, they should be. People spend so much time during their lives saying things like 'it's my dream to one day...' or 'someday ...
Chase Your Dreams
Creating Your Ideal Life
One of the many, many things I love about my dogs is how in tune they are to both their emotions and the moment. When they are sick or don't feel well, I can see it in not only their lethargy, lack of play, and general silence, but also in their expressions and body language. And, when they are filled with happiness living in the joyous moment of chasing a rabbit or a bird, tails are wagging, their barking hurts my ears, and I can see an actual smile on their faces. They are never complacent, and if they could talk, I am confident they would tell me exactly what they were feeling at any given time. The point here is that if my dogs could talk, they would never tell me they were just 'fine'.
Can you say the same thing? How many times in a day, week, month, or year, is your assessment of your current life, 'it's fine'. Describing your life as 'fine' means you may have become complacent and may lack motivation to change. It's the same as saying
May 16th this year we awoke to frost in WI. Crazy. Thirty-two degrees and frost in the middle of May, but it didn't stop me from getting outside. For some reason, thirty-two degrees in December stops me in my tracks, but in May, it's a different story.
Same holds true for my dogs. With so many birds to chase, holes to dig, and bugs to eat, they were undeterred by the May cold snap. They know it will be short lived and are determined to enjoy every second of every minute of warm sunshine that they can until the bitterness of Winter is once again upon us.
If you've ever endured a Midwest winter, you've probably had the same experience. We longingly await the first crocus to pop through the melting snow, so we can pull out the grill and start cleaning off the lawn furniture. As soon as we're able, and the roads are clear, we start going for walks in early morning and begin daily outdoor activities such as bicycling, baseball, badminton, and bass fishing. There's something about fresh air, long days, and sunshine that makes you feel alive and closer to God.
Our long winters create an appreciation for spring and summer. For my dogs, the long winter creates an appreciation for dirt, bugs, chasing butterflies, and basking in the sun. When winter is upon us, they dream for spring knowing it means the enjoyment of time spent outdoors.
If you haven't done so already, now is the time to get outside. Tulips are blooming, the song birds are back, and the clouds in the sky are awaiting your day dreams.
Audrey Hepburn said it best when she said:
"I'm an introvert... I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking long walks
with my dogs and looking at trees, flowers, and the sky."
What better way to spend your day than outside with your dog? It's good for your soul.
Benefits to Being Non-Judgmental
We all do it. We judge. It's human nature. We are programmed to look for good vs. bad and right vs. wrong. We interpret situations all day long based on our personal experiences and beliefs at that moment. Although human nature, it can also result in a lot of negatives for you. Have you ever noticed that when engaging in the judgment of something, you're not as happy at that particular moment? It's true. Passing judgment automatically puts you in a position of being less than satisfied with your current state which can result in feelings of unhappiness, anger, fear, anxiety, sadness, etc.
Wanting, of course, to be happy and satisfied with your current state, avoiding judgment would then be a best practice. There are numerous benefits to avoiding judgment of others. Here are just three...
Have You Hugged Someone Today?
I had the privilege of presenting today to 75 first grade students from Franklin Elementary school and although all were wonderful, I have to say that one particular little man named Alex just made my day. As everyone was gathering in the theater and finding a seat, in walks Alex. He approaches me squarely with a big smile on his face, says "Hi, I'm Alex", and simultaneously wraps his arms around my neck giving the most amazing hug. After the hug, he asks my name and then takes his seat. Alex's mom, following closely behind apologizes for him giving me half of an eye roll which makes me think he must do this type of thing a lot.
To that, I say "Good for you Alex!" So what about you? Have you hugged someone today? I ask because...
We can always tell when spring is upon us. For no apparent reason, our dogs start pulling all their blankets out of their kennels. In the middle of the day, one will jump off the couch, dive into the kennel, and next thing we know, there's a pile of blankets in the middle of the room. I figure it's either boredom or even dogs know the value of spring cleaning.
if you always do what you always did...
If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got.
One of the more comical things I've ever seen was a friend's German Shepherd trying to carry a stick into the house. He was so proud of the big stick he found in the field, but not so good at navigation and reasoning. The stick was about four feet long and he held it horizontally in his mouth. Now, I'm sure you're visualizing what happened next. Yes, he tried to take the stick in the house only to hit the door frame, and bam. No go. So, he backed up and tried again. Bam. No go. On and on, over an over, he just kept trying. (Just thinking about it makes me smile.)
If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got.
Shopping at a local home improvement store...
step outside the box
One of our favorite breeds of dog is the Miniature Pinscher. They're lively and energetic with antics that are at times comical. Being Min-Pins, however, they also push their limits at every turn. They are smart, trainable, and truly loyal, but give them even an inch of space and they take the whole. They don't just want it. They take it challenging the boundary you've set for them and testing what they can get away with.
Exhausting? Yes. But, as a result, they experience great happiness. Testing their boundaries leads to great adventure and surprise treats. They lack the self-doubt, fear, and limitations which you and I seem to embrace as just part of life. They live outside the box. Step outside your box today. Let go of some self-doubt. Challenge yourself. It's worth the experience!

Just before last Christmas my eyes were exposed to a surge of videos waffling pretty much anything… smores waffles, pizza waffles, macaroni and cheese waffles, eggs just shaped waffles… anything and everything I could possible crave.
Just waffle it.
It basically convinced me that I needed a waffle maker. Oh, the possibilities. I'll use it all the time, because most of these recipes weren't even actually waffles… they were using pre-made dough or leftovers. Easy peasy… waffling on demand.
So, a waffle maker officially made the Christmas list and Santa delivered.
The first time I made waffles was just a few days after Christmas and the second time I made any sort of waffle was today. Whoops.
That being said, if you're thinking about getting a waffle maker I'd still recommend it because of the obvious… homemade waffles whenever you want.
Both times I've made waffles they turned out delicious. They take slightly longer than I was lead to believe… but waffles are worth the wait. Even if you wait about six months for them.
As you know, I've got a sweet tooth… so today's breakfast topping was warm smashed blackberries and smoked crispy bacon. Also, I can never have enough maple syrup.
I'm just going to post a very basic waffle recipe that I believe is pretty neutral to either sweet or savory. Great for waffle beginners like me.
Basic Waffle Recipe
(makes ten square waffles, depending on machine)
2 cups flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1.5 cups of milk (any kind – buttermilk if you have it!)
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
If you are wanting your waffles a little bit sweeter than add in a 1 teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract. I always add a bit of cinnamon too.
I added vanilla extract and cinnamon to the waffles featured in this post and while they were slightly sweet, it still was pretty tame and if I needed to I'd be happy putting a savory topping on them.
To make:
Now… I believe the traditional thing to do here is to separate the eggs and whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form and add them to your waffle mix last, mixing gently.
Again, I have made waffles only twice and the first time I separated the eggs, this time I did not. And, if the truth is to be told I couldn't really tell much of a difference. And I hate separating eggs… so, I say do what you want or what you have time for.
1. In a small bowl put in dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix gently until everything is combined.
2. Crack eggs into large bowl and whisk (by hand or mixer) until eggs are foamy and light in color.
3. Add in all wet ingredients and mix until all ingredients are combined.
4. Add flour mixture and mix until there are no lumps.
And that's all. Super easy and then your waffle maker will do the rest.
In terms of time and temperature that is going to differ for each machine, so all I can suggest is to read the instructions to make sure you understand how it works etc.
Waffles are like pancakes in so many ways… but just remember the first one (or two in my case) will be the ugliest. Test your machine to see how the temperature works and how long you should leave the waffles in.
So, there you have it. A waffle base to top for your heart and tummy's delight!
Go forth and brunch.

he U.S. Justice Department madeheadlines in October when it announced it would release some 6,000 inmates early from federalprisons. The move was designed to reduce overcrowding and retroactively address the harshsentences that many drug offenders have received over the last three decades.
Unfortunately, the odds are long for those inmates, and for many thousands more who will
eventually leave prison and return to society.
TAlmost one of every 100 American adults is living behindbars — about 2. 2 million people, according to a 2014 reportby the National Research Council. The vast majority willeventually be released. Yet many won't stay out for long. Areport from the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates thatthree-quarters of prisoners released in 2005 were arrested for anew crime within five years. More than half had been arrestedby the end of the first year.
People leaving prison face a host of challenges, fromuntreated mental illness and substance abuse disorders tounemployment and lack of housing. "There doesn't tend tobe a good handoff for individuals leaving the prison system,"says Roger H. Peters, PhD, a professor of mental health law andpolicy at the University of South Florida. "Reentry is alwaysgoing to be a challenge."Despite the challenge, reentry is an issue the nation can nolonger afford to ignore. Over the past two decades, state andfederal spending on corrections increased by more than 300
percent, to about $52 billion annually, according to a 2011 PewCenter on the States report. Corrections is the second fastest-growing area of state budgets, after Medicaid."Policymakers and criminal justice professionals arerecognizing that simply releasing someone into the communityand expecting them to be successful is not a recipe forsuccess," says Robert Morgan, PhD, a psychologist who studiescorrectional mental health at Texas Tech University.
Increasingly, states are experimenting with new ways to
address the complicated and costly problem of recidivism, or
relapse into criminal behavior. And psychologists are among the
scientists and clinicians best suited to design, test and deliver
those interventions.
The list of obstacles is long for people released from prison.
Offenders often return to communities that are highly
distressed, with few employment options, high rates of violence

Metamorphoses Book 4: Salmacis and Hermaphroditus
The third of Minyas' daughters told this story. Salmacis was a water nymph who was gathering flowers near her pool when she saw Hermaphroditus one day. She fell in love with the son of Mercury and Venus, but Hermaphroditus denied her advances. She pretended to leave him there in the woods, and soon he was swimming naked in her pool of water. She dove in with him and wrapped herself around him as he struggled to get away. She said that they would never be separated again, and the gods granted her wish. The two fused into one being, and Hermaphroditus was now half-man, half-woman. Distraught at his emasculation, he begged his parents to make any man that bathed in Salmacis' pool turn half-man and half-woman.

Local Nasal Specific Immunotherapy for Allergic Rhinitis
© Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 2006
- Published: 15 September 2006
The possibility of producing local hyposensitization by administering allergens via mucosal routes was envisaged at the beginning of 1900, and local nasal immunotherapy has been extensively studied since the 1970s. Presently, there are 21 randomized controlled trials being conducted with the most common allergens, consistently showing the clinical efficacy of local nasal immunotherapy for rhinitis. Other advantages are that it has an optimal safety profile and can be self-administered at home by the patient. Moreover, there are several data from animal models and from humans that confirm the immunomodulatory effect of intranasally administered antigens. On the other hand, local nasal immunotherapy seems to be effective only on rhinitis symptoms and requires a particular technique of administration. For these reasons, its clinical use is progressively declining in favour of the sublingual route although nasal immunotherapy is validated in official documents and remains a viable alternative to injection.
- Rhinitis
- Allergic Rhinitis
- Nasal Mucosa
- Allergenic Extract
- Sublingual Immunotherapy
Historical Background
Since the first empirical attempts at the beginning of the twentieth century [1], specific immunotherapy (SIT) for allergic rhinitis has been administered via the subcutaneous route. The clinical efficacy of this treatment was immediately recognized, and its use rapidly spread. At the same time, attempts were made to administer the allergenic extracts via different routes, and in fact, oral immunotherapy was first proposed in the early 1900s [2, 3]. Later, during the 1950s, local bronchial desensitization was suggested and investigated [4, 5] whereas sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) appeared only in 1986 [6]. The main stimulus to the development of noninjection routes was the problem of the safety of injected SIT, which became of primary relevance after the formal and detailed report of numerous deaths due to subcutaneous SIT [7]. Nevertheless, independent of the safety issue, local nasal immunotherapy (LNIT) has been extensively investigated since the 1970s [8, 9], first in the United States and later in Italy. Within the last 20 years, reports from more than 60 controlled trials of various noninjection routes have been published in peer-reviewed journals, but in 1998, on the basis of an extensive review of the literature, a panel of experts from the World Health Organization concluded that only SLIT and LNIT are viable alternatives to therapy by the injection route [10]. These conclusions were soon confirmed in a position paper by the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology [11] and in the ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and Its Impact on Asthma) study document [12]. Currently, SLIT is prescribed in many European countries whereas the use of LNIT is progressively decreasing, mainly because of technical limitations.

In the more recent studies, a simplified schedule of administration was used, with a single and steady dosage from the beginning [31, 33]. This administration schedule is advantageous for patients because different preparations at different concentrations are no longer required and because accidental dosing mistakes are avoided. The clinical equivalence between the steady dosage and the traditional build-up was demonstrated in a randomized open trial [38].
Immunologic Aspects
As mentioned above, the first attempts to achieve a selective hyposensitization of the nasal mucosa were made at the beginning of the 1970s [8, 9]. The underlying rationale was derived from the observation that hyporesponsiveness of the nasal mucosa could be achieved after repeated stimulation with low doses of allergen [39]. From a clinical viewpoint, this is the opposite of the well-known priming effect, whereby an increased mucosal response is seen after a single administration of allergen [40].
On the basis of the literature review, it can be said that local nasal immunotherapy (LNIT) is clearly effective in treating allergic rhinitis because it alleviates symptoms and reduces the need for concomitant medications during natural exposure to allergens. Another favourable aspect of LNIT is its safety, which has been repeatedly confirmed in numerous trials. Moreover, LNIT is self-administered by patients in their homes, thus avoiding the costs for injections and loss of time. On the other hand, LNIT is effective only for rhinitis whereas patients often have concomitant allergic diseases such as asthma and conjunctivitis. In addition, a specific administration technique is needed to avoid inhalation of the extract into the deep airways whereas sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is more easily used and has a systemic effect. For these reasons, the clinical use of LNIT is progressively declining in favour of SLIT. In Italy, LNIT currently accounts for about 10% of immunotherapy sales. Nevertheless, it remains a viable alternative to subcutaneous therapy. The optimal candidates are adult and well-trained patients with pollen-induced rhinitis and patients who refuse injections or who cannot tolerate the subcutaneous regimen.

Dream believer
In the hands of Japanese pop singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, cuteness is the stuff of nightmares and language is no barrier to a hit.
The universe that Japanese entertainer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu has created is a cute but complex one. She has become one of her native country's biggest musical acts, thanks to a mix of irresistible pop songs, unique fashion and her eye-popping music videos. Yet she is not following in Hello Kitty's cuddly path. The "Kawaii Ambassador" (a diplomat for Japanese cuteness) undercuts her image with dashes of creepiness and surrealism … and lots and lots of fake eyelashes. Now, she is spreading it to the world.
A growing number of people outside Japan are eager to venture in. She is on her second world tour, which will include a stop at the UNSW Roundhouse. That gig was originally to take place at the Metro Theatre, but demand was so great the show had to be moved to a larger venue.
"I've never been to Australia before," Kyary says. "I don't have much information about it. I want to see koalas, to see if they really exist there."
Once upon a time, Takemura Kiriko lived a relatively normal life in Tokyo. In high school, however, she started frequenting the city's colourful fashion centre, Harajuku. She became interested in the area's ethos of mismatched style and rainbow hues. She also loved wigs, which is how she came by her nickname. When she wore a blonde wig, friends thought she looked non-Japanese, so they gave her a Western-sounding name (in Japanese, Kyary sounds like Carrie).
Her outfits caught the attention of street photographers working for Japanese fashion magazines, who started including snapshots of her in their publications. She became a regular in print. She had to hide her more flamboyant side from her ''Spartan'' parents, who disapproved of wigs and fake eyelashes. In a television interview in 2009, she said she would leave her house wearing regular clothes, then change in a bathroom.
In 2010, she started a blog, gaining fans for her photographs and tendency to invent words. Her foray into music started that year, too, with the release of her first digital single, Miracle Orange. But it was not until 2011 that her pop career really took off. She teamed up with Yasutaka Nakata, the Japanese producer behind genre-bending duo Capsule and chart-topping electro-pop trio Perfume.
That partnership resulted in PonPonPon, Kyary's first hit. The song featured sounds pulled straight from the playroom and a persistent dance floor-ready thump, all building to the dizzying hook. Even more attention was paid to the accompanying music video. The clip features Kyary, wearing an outfit decorated with eyeballs, dancing in front of a mish-mash of items (pieces of toast, a gummy-looking tank and trippy skulls). It is both "kawaii" and surreal. The PonPonPon video went viral, attracting more than 61 million hits.
That is how Jamaica dela Cruz, the host of SBS PopAsia on radio and television, first came across the singer. "Everyone at SBS PopAsia loved the song, and the wacky clip,'' she says. "I just thought it was so weird … I'm a big Japanese pop culture fan, so I was used to it … [but] Kyary is in a league of her own."
From PonPonPon, Kyary gained momentum via pop earworms and memorable videos. She tackled a subject close to her heart on Tsukema Tsukeru - fake eyelashes. (Kyary has produced her own line of falsies.) The song came with a video that was compared to Illuminati symbolism. She told the American music magazine The Fader that she added "grotesque, scary and even shocking material like eyeballs and brains to balance out the cuteness".
She flooded Japanese media, appearing in advertisements, television shows and live events. Her debut album, Pamyu Pamyu Revolution, came out in May 2012.
After the follow-up, Nanda Collection, debuted at No. 1 on the Japanese charts, the mayor of Shibuya declared her Harajuku's "Kawaii Ambassador". As her overseas fan base grew, she toured Asia, Europe and the United States.
"Japanese fans tend towards being shy. I can say all of my concerts outside Japan go more wild and crazy," she says. "The US audiences were really high-energy and fanatic. They made me so happy and I could really enjoy my concerts.'' Back then, she says, she did not have a strong grasp on English. She wants to continue her English studies on the coming tour.
"Um, actually my English hasn't improved at all. Usually my translator gives me a quick English lesson before the show and I repeat exactly what they taught me.''
Her international success has been interesting to watch. Kyary, who had no intention of reaching non-Japanese listeners when she started, accidentally achieved what many J-pop acts craved. Unlike the others, who refuse to upload full-length videos to sites such as YouTube, Kyary's management embraced the platform and overcame traditional roadblocks to foreign success (all-Japanese lyrics, for example) via a strong, GIF-ready image. She's the first J-pop performer to use the internet to her global advantage.
"On SBS PopAsia, we have a huge mix of listeners from all ages and backgrounds, but overwhelmingly she is the most popular Japanese pop soloist among our listeners," Cruz says. "She's unlike any other pop star in the world. When you watch her, she gives the impression that what she's showing you is her authentic self."
A lot of people have helped turn Kyary into a far-reaching presence. Besides producer Nakata, who makes all her music and writes her lyrics, she has a team that helps create her mind-melting videos. Art director Sebastian Masuda, who owns the influential Harajuku fashion store 6%DOKIDOKI, shapes her image.
Cruz says the diversity of her fan base will be on display at her Australian performance.
"I think the audience will be a mix of the hardcore Kyary fans, plus fans of J-pop in general, who rarely get to see their favourite J-pop artists in Australia. I think there will also be some curious onlookers who want to check out something new."
Says Kyary: "I'm a bit nervous, but I'll give you guys my best performance, so please come see me. I can't wait to see you!"
Kyary plays the University of NSW Roundhouse on March 23.

|Angelic, digital image, 2016
William T. Ayton is a British artist in upstate New York. His work deals with the human condition, human potential and myth. This is his blog featuring new artwork & ideas.

Angelic (digital)
Below is the digital version of a drawing that no longer exists. I originally started the drawing in sepia ink, which can be harder to work with than black ink on account of the paleness of the pigment. I find it more difficult to get an even tone. As time went on, the drawing became more and more overworked...I paused and took a digital photo in poor lighting conditions. To improve things, I loaded the photo into Photoshop & tried a few options...the "stamp" filter was the one that worked. Basically, it evened out the inconsistencies in the lines and revealed the underlying structure of the drawing much more coherently. Inspired by the digital version, I went back to the drawing and worked on it some more with black ink...with the unfortunate consequence that the drawing became more convoluted and weaker. Eventually, I destroyed the drawing. The digital version is much better than the drawing ever was...though it does indicate some possible routes forward for future artwork.

The Song of the Bird
Here is a new ink drawing from today, done in sepia ink (Sennelier 438 sepia to be precise). I find that the sepia color softens the drawing and gives it a warmth...so I will probably do a few more like this.

Very Small Paintings
Here are a couple of very small acrylic monochrome paintings I did the other day on sample pieces of claybord (TM) that my wife picked up a while ago at an open day event at The New School in NYC. I don't usually make artworks this small, so it was a challenge to work at this scale, but it worked out pretty well. The main problem was to get a decent photo of them. The one on the left is "Tiny World Madonna" & is 4.75" tall by 2.75" wide. The other one, "Babel with 3 Small Figures" is a little bit larger at 5" x 3".

The diameter of the buoyant actuator has the most significant influence on power output and has been increased to approximately 20m from the 7m diameter 80kW unit successfully tested at the Garden Island site in 2011 and the most recent 11m diameter, 240kW units tested in 2015 at the same site.
Apart from being larger, CETO 6 will also incorporate the power generation offshore, inside the buoy rather than onshore as with the previous CETO 5 design being deployed for the Perth Wave Energy Project. Locating the power generation within the buoy removes the need to attach pumps, accumulators and other hydraulic components to the seabed, avoiding the requirement for offshore heavy lift vessel capacity and reducing the offshore installation and maintenance time and cost. The CETO design, incorporating subsea generation and transmission of electrical power will allow Carnegie to take advantage of deeper, more distant to shore wave resources significantly increasing the size of the commercial market for CETO as well as allowing greater responsiveness in the CETO control system.
