Hello there,
Today let's talk about a quick tip: how to transform seconds to hh:mm or even hh:mm:ss.
You just have to:
- Create a new metric using your seconds metric and divide it by 86400.
Example of the formula would be: [metric with seconds] / 86400
2. Format the number to be like [h]:mm or [h]:mm:ss
That's it. You will now see your seconds in a time format.
Hope it helps!
God bless you!

Hi everyone,
So we are a little over 3 weeks in now. I have had my first white Christmas although its only starting to get really white now. It's been hard being away from the family during Christmas but awesome at the same time to have the opportunity to see first hand what its like in a different country. Snow is really falling hard now which is really exciting. There's some awesome snowboarding to be done soon =)
My orientation at Thompson River University starts soon. I'm nervous about meeting people but this is what its all about I guess. I should have told you guys by now that Kody and I are living together off campus about a 20 minute walk away. Buses are really convenient from here to go to the uni when I get sick of walking which is something we factored in when choosing our accommodation. So if not all of you want to stay on campus for whatever reason you now know that's its possible if you didn't before. We have taken out a 4 month lease on a apartment in a building that is mostly rented by uni students. I'm 24 and married so the on campus life style is a bit too much for me these days lol.
Another really crazy piece of information I have found out lately after speaking with my exchange supervisor is that students studying for less than 6 months in Canada do not require a student permit/visa!!!! This is a crazy good thing if you have decided to exchange last minute and your really worried getting a visa or permit on time. I have the paperwork now to back it up if anyone asks me about why I still don't have my permit yet. Most customs officers I believe aren't all that privy to this information as I wasn't.
So we are really comfortable in our little town here just outside of the uni. We have definitely settled into life here in Canada. People are nice and there's a few things to adjust to but we are having a blast. Another little bit of advice that I have been thinking about adding lately is that when it comes to Centrelink payments (really important to try to get as it helps heaps to have income while your away), it doesn't pay to go into Centrelink and ask for help. Because of the abilities of there website now, people who work there have become really lazy and unhelpful. They will give incorrect information to save themselves time! Try to get as familiar as possible with the website and only go in when you need to hand in forms etc. One lady gave me a huge run around and had me thinking that I couldn't get student benefits while in Canada due to me being deferred before I went on exchange. She was an idiot and as soon as I decided she was wrong and went through the site normally, I went to give my exchange uni's confirmation letter to them as soon as I got it and I got approved in no time. Just FYI in case anyone is having trouble with them.
Here's a photo of the great snow we have just started to get =) The photo isn't doing it a lot of justice but you get the idea lol. The second one is our apartment building.
Well that's it for now guys. Thanks for reading =)

pAge Drinking Paper, works together
with the nonprofit WATERisLIFE, to
produce a book of this nanoparti-cle-embedded paper, which is put in
a special holding device that water is
then filtered through. One page can
filter 2 6 gallons of drinking water;
one book can filter a person's water
needs for four years.
Dankovich presented her technology along with results of recent
field tests conducted in Africa and
Bangladesh at the American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting
earlier this month.
The power of nanoparticles is also
being harnessed to fight life-threat-ening lung diseases, such as cystic
fibrosis. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine,
Johns Hopkins University Depart-ment of Chemical and BiomolecularEngineering and Federal Universityof Rio de Janeiro in Brazil conducteda proof-of-concept study that foundDNA-loaded nanoparticles couldsuccessfully pass through the hard-to-breach mucus barrier that coversconducting airways of lung-tissue.The mucus barrier–which serves asa protector from foreign materialsand bacteria–unfortunately preventstargeted therapies from reaching thelungs. Other attempts to penetratethe barrier with nanoparticles wereunsuccessful because they pos-sessed a positive charge that causedthem to be "sticky" and adhere to thenegatively charged mucus coveringthe airways.To circumvent this problem theteam developed a simple method todensely coat the nanoparticles witha nonsticky polymer called PEG,neutralized the charge and created anon-sticky exterior.Published in the Proceedings ofthe National Academy of Sciences,the proof-of-concept animal studydemonstrates that placing correctivereplacement genes or drugs inside aman-made biodegradable nanopar-ticle "wrapper" that patients inhalecould penetrate the mucus barrierand one day be used to treat seriouslung disorders. Since the deliverysystem is biodegradable it will notbuild up inside the body. The teamalso showed that a single-dose ofinhaled delivery of the genes couldtheoretically last for several months."To our knowl-edge, this is the firstbiodegradable genedelivery system thatefficiently penetratesthe human airwaymucus barrier of lungtissue," said studyauthor Jung SooSuk, a biomedicalengineer and facultymember at the Center for Nanomed-icine at the Wilmer Eye Institute atJohns Hopkins.
Researchers funded by the National
Institute of Biomedical Imaging and
Bioengineering meanwhile, stopped
brain cancer in rats by delivering gene
therapy through nanoparticles. The
nanoparticles deliver genes for an
enzyme that converts a prodrug called
ganciclovir into a glioma cell killer.
There is no reliable treatment for glioma, which has a 5-year survival rate of
12 percent. As in cystic fibrosis, a current delivery method of gene therapy
relies on using a virus, which can pose
significant safety risks.
Bertrand and other lead authorFerdinand Brandl both left MIT to joinpharmacy schools in Quebec City,Canada and Regensburg, Germany,respectively.
Although their nanoparticle technology is solid, some challenges
remain before it can be implemented
in an industrial application.
As usual with lab-developed
processes, "scale-up of production
[is an issue]. For example, if we need
to use it to purify huge quantities of
water," the researchers said.
As a next step, Bertrand said it
would be interesting to design a
system where no polymer is released,
or where the material would be a natural ubiquitous molecule instead of
a synthetic one. Work could also be
done to improve the ability to remove
increasing amounts of pollutants. ●

Acoustic properties
Water is an excellent conductor of sound, considerably better than air. The attenuation of sound by absorption and conversion to other energy forms is a function of sound frequency and the properties of water.
The attenuation coefficient, x, in Beer's law, as applied to sound, where Iz and I0 are now sound intensity values, is dependent on the viscosity of water and inversely proportional to the frequency of the sound and the density of the water. High-pitched sounds are absorbed and converted to heat faster than low-pitched sounds. Sound velocity in water is determined by the square root of elasticity divided by the water's density. Because water is only slightly compressible, it has a large value of elasticity and therefore conducts sound rapidly. Since both the elasticity and density of seawater change with temperature, salinity, and pressure, so does the velocity of sound.
In the oceans the speed of sound varies between 1,450 and 1,570 metres (about 4,760 to 5,150 feet) per second. It increases about 4.5 metres (about 15 feet) per second per each 1 °C increase in temperature and 1.3 metres (about 4 feet) per second per each 1 psu increase in salinity. Increasing pressure also increases the speed of sound at the rate of about 1.7 metres (about 6 feet) per second for an increase in pressure of 100 metres in depth, which is equal to approximately 10 bars, or 10 atmospheres.
The greatest changes in temperature and salinity with depth that affect the speed of sound are found near the surface. Changes of sound speed in the horizontal are usually slight except in areas where abrupt boundaries exist between waters of different properties. The effects of salinity and temperature on sound speed are more important than the effect of pressure in the upper layers. Deeper in the ocean, salinity and temperature change less with depth, and pressure becomes the important controlling factor.
In regions of surface dilution, salinity increases with depth near the surface, while in areas of high evaporation salinity decreases with depth. Temperature usually decreases with depth and normally exerts a greater influence on sound speed than does the salinity in the surface layer of the open oceans. In the case of surface dilution, salinity and temperature effects on the speed of sound oppose each other, while in the case of evaporation they reinforce each other, causing the speed of sound to decrease with depth. Beneath the upper oceanic layers the speed of sound increases with depth.
If a sound wave (sonic pulse) travels at a right angle to these layers, as in depth sounding, no refraction occurs; however, the speed changes continuously with depth, and an average sound speed for the entire water column must be used to determine the depth of water. Variations in the speed of sound cause sound waves to refract when they travel obliquely through layers of water that have different properties of salinity and temperature. Sound waves traveling downward and moving obliquely to the water layers will bend upward when the speed of sound increases with depth and downward when the speed decreases with depth. This refraction of the sound is important in the sonar detection of submarines because the actual path of a sound wave must be known to determine a submarine's position relative to the transmitter of the sound. Refraction also produces shadow zones that sound waves do not penetrate because of their curvature.
At depths of approximately 1,000 metres, pressure becomes the important factor: it combines with temperature and salinity to produce a zone of minimum sound speed. This zone has been named the SOFAR (sound fixing and ranging) channel. If a sound is generated by a point source in the SOFAR zone, it becomes trapped by refraction. Dispersed horizontally rather than in three directions, the sound is able to travel for great distances. Hydrophones lowered to this depth many kilometres from the origin of the sound are able to detect the sound pulse. The difference in arrival time of the pulse at separate listening posts may be used to triangulate the position of the pulse source.
Hearing is an important sensory mechanism for marine animals because seawater is more transparent to sound than to light. Animals communicate with each other over long distances and also locate objects by sending directional sound signals that reflect from targets and are received as echoes. Information about the size of a target is gained by varying the frequency of the sound; high-frequency (or short-wavelength) sound waves reflect better from small targets than low-frequency sound waves. The intensity and quality of the returning signal also provide information about the properties of the reflecting target.Alyn C. Duxbury
Chemical evolution of seawater
The chemical history of seawater in the oceans has been divided into three stages. The first is an early stage in which Earth's crust was cooling and reacting with volatile or highly reactive gases of an acidic reducing nature to produce the oceans and an initial sedimentary rock mass. This stage lasted until about 3.5 billion years ago. The second stage was a period of transition to essentially modern conditions, and it is estimated to have ended 2 to 1.5 billion years ago. Since that time it is likely that there has been little change in seawater composition.
The early oceans
Estimates of excess volatile substances released from Earth's interior is given in the table.
|Estimate of "excess volatiles"
(units of 1020 grams)
|Source: W.W. Rubey (1951).
|total carbon as carbon dioxide
|boron, bromine, argon, fluorine, etc.
Earth's initial accretion by the agglomeration of solid particles occurred about 4.56 billion years ago. Heating of this initially cool unsorted conglomerate by the decay of radioactive elements and the conversion of kinetic and potential energy to heat resulted in the development of a liquid iron core and the gross internal zonation of Earth. It has been concluded that formation of Earth's core took about 500 million years. It is likely that core formation resulted in the escape of an original primitive atmosphere and its replacement by one derived from loss of volatile substances from Earth's interior. Whether most of this degassing took place during core formation or soon afterward or whether there has been significant degassing of Earth's interior throughout geologic time is uncertain. Recent models of Earth formation, however, suggest early differentiation of Earth into three major zones (core, mantle, and crust) and attendant early loss of volatile substances from the interior. It is also likely that Earth, after initial cold agglomeration, reached temperatures such that the whole Earth approached the molten state. As the planet's initial crust solidified, volatile gases would be released to form an atmosphere that would contain water, later to become the hydrosphere; carbon gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and carbon monoxide; sulfur gases, mostly hydrogen sulfide; and halogen compounds, such as hydrochloric acid. Nitrogen also may have been present, along with minor amounts of other gases. Gases of low atomic number, such as hydrogen and helium, would escape Earth's gravitational field. Substances degassed from the planetary interior have been called excess volatiles because their masses cannot be accounted for simply by rock weathering.
At an initial crustal temperature of about 600 °C (about 1,100 °F), almost all these compounds, including water (H2O), would be in the atmosphere. The sequence of events that occurred as the crust cooled is difficult to construct. Below 100 °C (212 °F) all the H2O would have condensed, and the acid gases would have reacted with the original igneous crustal minerals to form sediments and an initial ocean. There are at least two possible pathways by which these initial steps could have been accomplished.
One pathway assumes that the 600 °C atmosphere contained, together with other compounds, water (as vapour), carbon dioxide, and hydrochloric acid in the ratio of 20:3:1 and would cool to the critical temperature of water. The water vapour therefore would have condensed into an early hot ocean. At this stage, the hydrochloric acid would be dissolved in the seawater of the period (about 1 mole per litre), but most of the carbon dioxide would still be in the atmosphere with about 0.5 mole per litre in the ocean water. This early acid ocean would react vigorously with crustal minerals, dissolving out silica and cations and creating a residue that consisted principally of aluminous clay minerals that would form the sediments of the early ocean basins. This pathway of reaction assumes that reaction rates were slow relative to cooling.
A second pathway of reaction, which assumes that cooling was slow, is also possible. In this case, at a temperature of about 400 °C (about 750 °F) most of the water vapour would be removed from the atmosphere by hydration reactions with pyroxenes and olivines. Under these conditions, water vapour would not condense until some unknown temperature was reached, and Earth might have had at an early stage in its history an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide and no ocean: the surface would have been much like that of present-day Venus.
The pathways described are two of several possibilities for the early surface environment of the planet. In either case, after Earth's surface had cooled to 100 °C, it would have taken only a short time geologically for the acid gases to be used up in reactions involving minerals from igneous rock. The presence of bacteria and possibly algae in the fossil record of rocks older than three billion years attests to the fact that Earth's surface had cooled to temperatures lower than 100 °C by this time and that the neutralization of the original acid gases had taken place. If most of the degassing of primary volatile substances from Earth's interior occurred early, the chloride released by reaction of hydrochloric acid with rock minerals would be found in the oceans and seas or in evaporite deposits, and the oceans would have a salinity and volume comparable to those that they have today.
This conclusion is based on the assumption that there has been no drastic change in the ratios of volatiles released through geologic time. The overall generalized reaction indicative of the chemistry leading to formation of the early oceans can be written in the form: primary igneous rock minerals + acid volatiles + H2O = sedimentary rocks + oceans + atmosphere. Notice from this equation that if all the acid volatiles and H2O were released early in Earth's history and in the proportions found today, then the total original sedimentary rock mass produced would be equal to that of the present time, and ocean salinity and volume would be near what they are now. If, on the other hand, degassing were linear with time, then the sedimentary rock mass would have accumulated at a linear rate, as would oceanic volume. However, the salinity of seawater would remain nearly the same if the ratios of volatiles degassed did not change with time. The most likely situation is that presented here—namely, that major degassing occurred early in Earth's history, after which minor amounts of volatiles were released episodically or continuously for the remainder of geologic time. The salt content of seawater in the oceans based on the constant proportions of volatiles released would depend primarily on the ratio of sodium chloride (NaCl) locked up in evaporites to that dissolved in the oceans. If all the sodium chloride in evaporites were added to seawater today, the salinity would be roughly doubled. This value gives a sense of the maximum salinity the oceans could have attained throughout geologic time.
One component missing from the early terrestrial surface was free oxygen, because it would not have been a constituent released from the cooling crust. As noted earlier, early production of oxygen was by photodissociation of water in the atmosphere as a result of absorption of ultraviolet light. The reaction is 2H2O + hν = O2 + 2H2, in which hν represents a photon of ultraviolet light. The hydrogen produced would escape into space, and the O2 would react with the early reduced gases by reactions such as 2H2S + 3O2 = 2SO2 + 2H2O. Oxygen production by photodissociation gave the early reduced atmosphere a start toward present-day conditions, but it was not until the appearance of photosynthetic organisms approximately 3.3 billion years ago that it was possible for the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere to proceed at a rate sufficient to lead to today's oxygenated environment. The photosynthetic reaction leading to oxygen production may be written 6CO2 + 6H2O + hν = C6H12O6 + 6O2, in which C6H12O6 represents sugar.
The transition stage
The nature of the rock record from the time of the first sedimentary rocks (about 3.5 billion years ago) to approximately 2 to 1.5 billion years ago suggests that the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere was significantly lower than today and that there were continuous chemical trends in the sedimentary rocks formed and, more subtly, in oceanic composition. The source rocks of sediments during this time were likely to be more basaltic than would later ones; sedimentary detritus was formed by the alteration of these rocks in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere and accumulated primarily under anaerobic marine conditions. The chief difference between reactions involving mineral-ocean equilibriums at this time and at the present time was the role played by ferrous iron. The concentration of dissolved iron in the present-day oceans is low because of the insolubility of oxidized iron oxides. During the period 3.5 to 1.5 billion years ago, oxygen-deficient environments were prevalent; these favoured the formation of minerals containing ferrous iron (reduced state of iron) from the alteration of basaltic rocks. Indeed, the iron carbonate siderite and the iron silicate greenalite, in close association with chert and the iron sulfide pyrite, are characteristic minerals that occur in middle Precambrian iron formations (those about 1.5 to 2.4 billion years old). The chert originally was deposited as amorphous silica; equilibrium between amorphous silica, siderite, and greenalite at 25 °C (77 °F) and one atmosphere total pressure requires a carbon dioxide pressure of about 10−2.5 atmosphere, or 10 times the present-day value.
Seawater at this time can be thought of as the solution resulting from an acid leach of basaltic rocks, and because the neutralization of the volatile acid gases was not restricted primarily to land areas as it is presently, much of this alteration may have occurred by submarine processes. The atmosphere at the time was oxygen-deficient; anaerobic depositional environments with internal carbon dioxide pressures of about 10−2.5 atmosphere were prevalent, and the atmosphere itself may have had a carbon dioxide pressure near 10−2.5 atmosphere. If so, the pH of early ocean water was lower than that of modern seawater, the calcium concentration was higher, and the early ocean water was probably saturated with respect to amorphous silica (about 120 parts per million [ppm]).
To simulate what might have occurred, it is helpful to imagine emptying the Pacific basin, throwing in great masses of broken basaltic material, filling it with hydrochloric acid so that the acid becomes neutralized, and then carbonating the solution by bubbling carbon dioxide through it. Oxygen would not be permitted into the system. The hydrochloric acid would leach the rocks, resulting in the release and precipitation of silica and the production of a chloride ocean containing sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, iron, and reduced sulfur species in the proportions present in the rocks. As complete neutralization was approached, aluminum could begin to precipitate as hydroxides and then combine with precipitated silica to form cation-deficient aluminosilicates. The aluminosilicates, as the end of the neutralization process was reached, would combine with more silica and with cations to form minerals like chlorite, and ferrous iron would combine with silica and sulfur to make greenalite and pyrite. In the final solution, chlorine would be balanced by sodium and calcium in roughly equal proportions, with subordinate potassium and magnesium; aluminum would be quantitatively removed, and silicon would be at saturation with amorphous silica. If this solution were then carbonated, calcium would be removed as calcium carbonate, and the chlorine balance would be maintained by abstraction of more sodium from the primary rock. The sediments produced in this system would contain chiefly silica, ferrous iron silicates, chloritic minerals, calcium carbonate, calcium magnesium carbonates, and minor pyrite.
If the hydrochloric acid added were in excess of the carbon dioxide, the resultant ocean would have a high content of calcium chloride, but the pH would still be near neutrality. If the carbon dioxide added were in excess of the chlorine, calcium would be precipitated as the carbonate until it reached a level approximately that of the present oceans—namely, a few hundred parts per million.
If this newly created ocean were left undisturbed for a few hundred million years, its waters would evaporate and be transported onto the continents (in the form of precipitation); streams would transport their loads into it. The sediment created in this ocean would be uplifted and incorporated into the continents. Gradually, the influence of the continental debris would be felt, and the pH might shift slightly. Iron would be oxidized out of the ferrous silicates to produce iron oxides, but the water composition would not vary a great deal.
The primary minerals of igneous rocks are all mildly basic compounds. When they react in excess with acids such as hydrochloric acid and carbon dioxide, they produce neutral or mildly alkaline solutions plus a set of altered aluminosilicate and carbonate reaction products. It is highly unlikely that seawater has changed through time from a solution approximately in equilibrium with these reaction products, which are clay minerals and carbonates.
The modern oceans
The oceans probably achieved their modern characteristics 2 to 1.5 billion years ago. The chemical and mineralogical compositions and the relative proportions of sedimentary rocks of this age differ little from their Paleozoic-era counterparts (those dating from about 542 to 251 million years ago). The fact that the acid sulfur gases had been neutralized to sulfate by this time is borne out by calcium sulfate deposits of late Precambrian age (roughly 542 million to 1.6 billion years old). Chemically precipitated ferric oxides in late Precambrian sedimentary rocks indicate available free oxygen, whatever its percentage. The chemistry and mineralogy of middle and late Precambrian shales is similar to that of Paleozoic shales. Thus, it appears that continuous cycling of sediments like those of the present time has occurred for 1.5 to 2 billion years and that these sediments have controlled oceanic composition.
It was once thought that the saltiness of the modern oceans simply represents the storage of salts derived from rock weathering and transported to the oceans by fluvial processes. With increasing knowledge of the age of Earth, however, it was realized that, at the present-day rate of delivery of salts to the oceans or even at much reduced rates, the total salt content and the mass of individual salts in the oceans could be attained in geologically short time intervals compared with Earth's age. The total mass of salt in the oceans can be accounted for at present-day rates of stream delivery in about 12 million years. The mass of dissolved silica in ocean water can be doubled in only 20,000 years by addition of stream-derived silica; to double sodium would take 70 million years. It then became apparent that the oceans were not simply an accumulator of salts, but, as water evaporated from the oceans, the introduced salts must be removed in the form of minerals. Thus, the concept of the oceans as a chemical system changed from that of a simple accumulator to that of a steady-state system in which rates of inflow of materials into the oceans equal rates of outflow. The steady-state concept permits influx to vary with time, but it would be matched by nearly simultaneous and equal variation of efflux. Calculations of rates of addition of elements to the oceanic system and removal from it show that for at least 100 million years the oceanic system has been in a steady state with approximately fixed rates of major element inflow and outflow and, thus, fixed chemical composition.Fred T.

Stressing Out.
Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Lala's Style of the Day: It's just so hard to stay away
- Zara Black Dress (worn backwards because it would have cut off my arm fat circulation if I had worn it regularly): 2.50 flea market.
- Scarf: Mom
- Tights: 99 cent store and leggings underneath
- Flats: $4 thrift store
- Belt: Free from friend's mom
- Jacket: $6 target
- Flower power bracelet: 1 euro barcelona flea market
So I thought I would be too busy/lazy to update my wee lil blog but somehow I found myself acting out my vain instincts again this morning as my self timer went off and did the 10 continuous shots. The weather was sunny but cold. What an odd combination.
Not too much excitement in my outfit but I actually tried today. I think coming back from Paris yesterday made me want to dress nice. Paris has got to be my favorite city so far.
Must think of a new collection for next year. Fashion lovin has not left me one bit.
I know I rarely update with anything awesome, anything slightly intelligent, or anything other than rather uninspiring (to me anyways) outfits, but thanks to all those that keep reading. You are loved by the one and only Lala.
Peace out fools.

Have you seen the so-called "Gingerbread House" in Brooklyn? Some of the readers who sent me the link to the listing described it as "a hobbit house." Others used words like "storybook" and "fairytale." Curbed dubbed it "Hansel & Gretel's Hidey Hole." The asking price is $11 million–more than hobbits or Hansel could probably afford–but gawking is free…
According to the 1988 Landmark Designation Report, "This distinctive residence, an important and rare example of the Arts and Crafts style of architecture in New York City, was designed in 1917 by James Sarsfield Kennedy, a Brooklyn architect, for shipping merchant Howard E. Jones."
The roof, it says, was designed to imitate the thatch roofs of English rural cottages but is actually made from "subdued polychromatic asphalt shingles laid randomly–there are no straight lines."
The Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century emphasized the use of natural materials and craftsmanship. They were often inspired by rural cottages: "The Jones residence was built in rubblework of large, natural rocks and boulders of various colors."
"The varying heights of the house step up to the massive end-wall chimney creating a picturesque profile and calling attention to the importance of the hearth within the structure. The asphalt shingle roof is rendered with an undulating surface and smooth molded edges in imitation of the thatch roofs of early rural cottages."
Jason Sheftell of the NY Daily News dubbed it the "most magnificent residence in all of New York City. Everywhere you look is something pretty."
Homeowners Jerry and Diane Fishman, who bought the house in the 1980s, told him, "It sounds crazy to attribute a house to good luck, but from the day we bought this house, there was life magic."
They have restored and maintained most of the original details.
The listing says: "8200 Narrows Avenue is enchanting, inviting, and romantic. This fairy-tale estate has been featured in a Prague Museum as one of the ten most beautiful places in the United States and is considered one of the finest examples of Arts & Crafts architecture in NYC by Landmarks of New York."
Also: "The house features original oak paneled walls, Burmese mahogany floors, coffered ceilings with hand painted canvases, pastoral plaster relief, antique stained glass artwork imported from Europe, handmade tiles, and handcrafted fireplaces."

Enjoyed a reading last Saturday by Gail Bowen at the launch of her new book The Nesting Dolls and the kickoff of her term as this year's Writer-in-Residence for Calgary Public Library. She will be giving manuscript consultations and giving a variety of programs until the end of November. If you have a manuscript you want some feedback on, I'd encourage you to get it in early as the spaces do fill up.
Speaking of Calgary Public Library, as I mentioned earlier Dan Hayes of The Golden Calgarians and myself are putting on a program entitled Cow Town / Punk Town on November 6th, as part of CPL's inaugural One Book, One Calgary project. Aritha van Herk's Mavericks is the book this year, and it's inspired the library to put together a whole slew of really interesting programs. Looking forward to reminiscing...or trying to. I'll be reading and Dan and his lovely assistant Christine are putting together a really rockin' multimedia thing. Should be a blast.
In mundane daily news, chugging away on this novel revision, which I'm hoping to have wrapped up once and for all by next spring. I was a little bit afraid that I'd been away from it for too long and that the whole thing would have gone cold for me. But actually, I think I have abundant objectivity now and am able to make some big changes -- improvements, one hopes.
My mom is hanging in there, but her ALS continues to progress and almost weekly she loses more and more physical capabilities. It's meant lots of challenges, no question. I have to hand it to her, though -- she is coming through this with grace and dignity intact, as well as her sense of humour. Food for thought indeed. All of this has had me thinking about the nature of compassion quite a bit, and I happened to come across The Charter for Compassion a little while ago. That food for thought is everywhere, I tell you.
Finally, looking forward to a beer tomorrow eve with my friends on the Writing in the Works organizing committee. Watch for our fourth annual fabulous showcase of local writing coming out sometime in the spring. Seems far away right now, but you know how that goes.

Dallas Stars only NHL club without a power-play goal at home; magic moment could come against New York Rangers
FRISCO — The Stars could have their magic moment as soon as Thursday night.
The New York Rangers will take a penalty, and the planets will align. A to-be-determined Star will take advantage of the chance and score … the club's first power-play goal of the season at American Airlines Center.
The Stars are the only NHL club without a power-play goal at home. To put that into perspective, consider that St. Louis has scored a league-high 13 goals in 12 home games.
"We're not satisfied as a group with the way our power play has been going," captain Jamie Benn said. "There's a lot more room for improvement."
The Stars have played a league-low seven home games and been "a little bit snake bit" on power-play chances, coach Lindy Ruff said Wednesday. The relevant item is the Stars are 0-for-24 on the power play at home.
This is not a new problem for the Stars. In 2011-12, their last full season, the Stars had 28 home games without a power-play score. It marked the first time since 1996-97 that the Stars had 20-plus home games without a power-play goal.
With six of the next nine games at home, the Stars must solve this peculiar problem as soon as possible or risk squandering an advantageous portion of the schedule.
"It's a small sample, but it's something we've been working on," center Tyler Seguin said. "We're trying to find something that's going to click, at home and on the road."
For Ruff, the 0-for at home is part of a bigger problem. On the road, the Stars are a middle-of-the-pack power play with eight goals in 46 opportunities.
"I'm not going to sugarcoat this," Ruff said. "Overall, we need to be better on special teams as a whole. We'll continue to work at it.
"The power play at home hasn't found ways to put it in the back of the net. We need them to finish."
Center Tyler Seguin and Ruff suggested the power-play groups may be guilty of over-passing, particularly at home. There is a long-standing hockey theory that teams sometimes look for the overly flamboyant play at home.
That is no way to run a power play. Most power-play goals come on second chances from close range. That means going inside, where nothing is pretty.
The Stars have done well on their entry into the offensive zone on the power play, Ruff said. The breakdown starts with too many passes and not enough activity around the net.
"Our success will come once we getting inside and the second-chance opportunities start going in," Ruff said.
Chaisson may be out: A day after Ruff stressed the need for depth, the Stars may have lost a forward for Thursday's game. Forward Alex Chiasson had to be helped off the ice during practice after being hit in the face by a hurtling puck.
"We're concerned that he might have some damage," Ruff said. "I'm hoping all is well with [Chiasson], but you have to be ready for the adverse effect of what happened."
Briefly: Forward Ray Whitney went through a full practice for the second consecutive day and will be a game-time decision, Ruff said. Whitney has not played since Nov. 9 because of a lower-body injury, and Ruff would prefer having him go through a few more practices before returning.
Facing the Rangers gives the Stars a chance to continue the theme in the Western Conference this season: Pound the Eastern Conference clubs. The Stars are 5-2 against the East, and the West began Wednesday at 86-38-14 against the East. "If it keeps going at this pace, you'll need about 110 points to get in the playoffs," said Ruff, a career-long Easterner before this season. "It's incredible. Maybe it'll all even out by the end."

Our identity and heritage have been based on our natural resources. We overlook the mighty Pacific. Rivers, wetlands, creeks, beaches and green bluffs all make up the wild and windy landscape. Our residents appreciate the community's environment with fresh air, changing cloud formations all the way to the horizon, gorgeous sunsets, a mild climate and dark night sky.
Like many small American towns, Port Orford is in a time of transition between our history and our future, trying to find the best way to shape development to protect and enhance our unique nature.
Our past is rooted in fishing and timber, particularly the beautiful but endangered Port Orford cedar. The timber has faded, but the fishing remains a vital part of our community.
The natural harbor at the north end of Port Orford Bay has one of only two "dolly docks" in the US and six in the world, where boats are lifted in and out of the water by huge cranes and parked on large, custom-made trailers on the dock. A working fishing port, the Port Of Port Orford is home to almost 30 commercial fishing boats, which landed nearly $5 million in product last year.
We are also known for our active artist community, with 8 galleries owned and operated by working artists, and for some of our beautifully maintained historic sites, such as Hughes House and the Coast Guard Lifeboat Station.
Local historian makes a
great Port Orford Video.
Port Orford was visited
by representatives from
government to look
our water issues.
Port Orford is the top
producing port of live fish in Oregon. The community is dependent upon the
nearshore live fish fishery.
There is great interest in promoting sustainable
fishing practices and local science/research that will contribute to sustainable management of the fishery…(more)

My kitchen table is exactly two and a half steps away from the countertop. Not long ago, Short Stuff and I were sitting at said table. I was finishing a cup of coffee and he was drawing pictures with washable markers. I finished my coffee and got up to set the cup on the counter.
Two and a half steps.
One one thousand, two one thousand aaaaand turn around.
And in that amount of time, this happened:
I looked at my little Picasso and asked "Jacob, what did you DO???"
"I color mah FACE!" (thinks a minute) "It a snake."
And with that we learned the next Life Lesson. Washable markers? Not. so. much.

We usually don't take too much time to promote new music that is being released because music really isn't our thing anymore (yeah I know we have multiple plaques for hard years of work in the music industry) we just feel like the game has changed too much for the worse during our lifetime.
That being said, we wanted to take a minute to briefly say that on Tuesday December 11th, 2012 Big Boi of Outkast will be releasing his 2nd (3rd if you consider that Purple Ribbon tape to be a real album) much to his fans delight. From what we have heard of the album (ok we've heard the whole thing and are playing it as we write this) the album is incredible much like his Son of Chico Dusty album that came out a few years ago.
Do yourself a favor and buy the album, don't bootleg it. This is the type of music we all keep screaming that no one is making anymore, so support someone who obviously is putting a gang of time in crafting another masterpiece.
Preorder the album here: Big Boi - Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors (iTunes)

Winter flower viburnum
Want winter colour and scent?
Viburnum are one of those undersung, but extremely useful groups of shrubs, that have representatives performing at almost every time of year whether through flowers, foliage or fruit.
The winter flowering varieties are especially welcome when little else is around. They can be deciduous or evergreen, with flowers produced in dense clusters, studding bare branches, or in flat heads among leaves, often sweetly scented.
Although Viburnum botnatense 'Dawn' is the most familiar, its worth looking out for 'Charles Lamont', which has stronger pink tones. The diminutive 'Nanum' form of the normally tall V.Farreri is a useful spreading shrub for the smallest borders. All the deciduous forms lend themselves to be under planted or associated with early bulbs and perennials, such as hellebores and associated with other winter-flowering shrubs, such as mahonia.
Most viburnums are indifferent to soil as long as it's not soggy or too chalky. They will grow in sun or shade, but will flower better in sunlight. Most need little of no pruning save to keep them in shape. Do this just after flowering.

One of the disgusting aspects of the United Nations is that we can, at almost any time that the Senate is in session, find all our state laws overturned by the ratification of a U.N. Treaty. According to the Home School Legal Defense Fund, despite defeating it last year, the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) is back before the Senate.
The UNCPRD isn't about protecting people with disabilities—our nation's own laws and strong leadership overseas already do this. It's about whether we will surrender our freedom to an unelected, unaccountable United Nations.
You defeated this treaty in December 2012. But the supporters were looking for a way to win the second time and ratify the UNCRPD. And they believe they have found it with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Bond v. United States, which was issued last week.
Bond v. United States dealt with a jilted wife who used household chemicals in a bungled attempt to poison her rival. But it quickly turned into a major constitutional case dealing with the Chemical Weapons Ban treaty, congressional action, and the Constitution.
The Supreme Court made the right decision and found that it was ridiculous for the federal government to prosecute this hapless chemical user. But the Court's decision was very narrow, and never addressed the treaty power found in the U.S. Constitution.
Only three justices—Scalia, Thomas, and Alito—brought this issue up. And they—like HSLDA—are very worried about how treaties can threaten our system of limited federal government and our constitutional freedoms. We encourage you to read the decision here. You can read the concurring opinions of justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito starting after page 21.
Supporters of the UNCRPD such as Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez (NJ) seemed to not even have read this decision in their haste to urge ratification of this United Nations treaty. In the days since the decision, countless organizations have issued press releases calling for swift ratification of the UNCRPD. Supporters of the treaty are aggressively lobbying on Capitol Hill at this very moment. This treaty is roaring back, possibly as early as the week after Independence Day.
HSLDA's federal relations staff and our allies are fighting back on Capitol Hill as hard as we can. But ultimately, only you can stop this treaty. We ask that you immediately take a moment to email your two U.S. senators and urge them to protect our nation's sovereignty against the United Nations, to protect parental rights, and to vigorously oppose the UNCRPD. If you have the time to send a letter, that would be even better.
You can read more about the treaty here. While it had nothing to do with the treaty, the person who warned me about it related the treaty to their family's experience. When their special needs child turned 18, they had to hire a lawyer and fight the state in order to keep them from making him a ward of the state. They succeeded, but they have every reason to fear that, if this U.N. treaty went into effect, they would face that possibility again, and this time the U.S. legal heritage would be no help to them in court.

Millennial writer Mike Jordan Laskey has a new article at NCR. He writes:
I vaguely remembered a pithy definition of mercy I had liked in Kerry Weber's great book Mercy in the City, which I read a few months ago. So I pulled it off the shelf and paged through the first few chapters, and there it was on page 12, where she quotes the Jesuit priest Fr. James F. Keenan. "Mercy," he says, "is the willingness to enter into chaos of another."
The willingness to enter into the chaos of another. This definition unlocked my imagination, and I was immediately flooded with images and stories.
Mercy is the Holy Child Jesus Church community in Queens. When a desperate mother left her newborn son in the church's manger scene in late November, multiple parish families stepped forward to adopt him. "I think it's beautiful," Fr. Christopher Heanue, the church administrator, said. "A church is a home for those in need, and she felt, in this stable — a place where Jesus will find his home — a home for her child." Parishioners have two name suggestions for the baby: John, because he came before Jesus to prepare the way; and Emanuel, which means "God is with us."
Mercy is the Intergenerational Learning Center at Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle — a preschool inside a nursing home. Through planned and spontaneous activities, the kids and the seniors interact throughout the day, sharing in art projects, exercise, story time, and more. Both the youngsters and the residents have a lot to offer one another and a lot to receive.
Mercy is a mother who sleeps on the floor of her three year-old son's room at 2:00 am because he thinks there are monsters in there.
Mercy is Oakland Athletics pitcher Sean Doolittle and his girlfriend Eireann Dolan, who partnered with Chicago city government officials to organize Thanksgiving dinner for the city's 17 families of Syrian refugees last week. And mercy is the nonprofit organizations — many of them Catholic — that have proclaimed "Refugees welcome" in states where elected officials have threatened to close their doors.

8th Nov, 2013 - 1915 hrs local time, I am writing this from Charles De Gaulle Airport, Paris while waiting for the boarding of my flight to Dubai. And the reason I have to write it right now is the mixed feeling I am having at this moment. I see both happy and sad faces around. But more interestingly, some like me, are neither happy nor sad or may be both happy and sad at the same time. On one hand I am excited to be home soon but on the other hand I am sad to go through the long tiring flight of 7 hours again!!!
Life is a roller coaster ride! Everyone believes in that and lives with it. But just imagine if you are rising and falling at the same time…like being sandwiched in the concurrent gears where one is moving clockwise and the other anti-clockwise. Surely it will be a big mess!
Last few months have probably been the same for me and eventually made me learn this word – "Sappy": Being Sad and Happy at the same time. Those who are around me, know why! Anyways, to me Life is nothing else but 'Living In Funny Events" but unfortunately this funny-ness is not always funny. The irony of the fact is that while we can absorb any amount of happiness whenever it comes to us but we get worried by small little jerks in life at times and thanks to our spiral thoughts; we do our best to let this jerk turn into a tornado in our lives. God save u when we really have a tornado at first place.
I am confused whether 'Sappy' is a natural transition when you move from sadness to happiness or is it a quest to be happy which forces you to do things that would possibly bring some happiness in your life while you are completely broken? Whatever it is, I seriously feel it's a very powerful state that has the capability to turnaround the things around you if you wish. This is exactly like stretching the string of 'bow with an arrow' where either you drop the arrow while feeling the pain in your fingers or just feel the power you have brought in the arrow by stretching the string and aim & hit the bull's eye.
It all depends on whether we learn to make peace with our past and work towards a better future. In other words, can we be 'sappy' consciously!?? Your past might pull you back making you sad every now and then but what can really work is gathering small little happiness and fighting your way out!
Life is a journey where unfortunately we remember only the past but the fact is that, if at all we can change something, it is the future!!!

I am really boring again - another Plain Vest - this time using size 10 needles and the newer colors from Peace Fleece to make stripes.
Next week I hope to share a new adorable pattern I am working on (hint - I saw it at Taryn's blog).
I am excited, though, to finally be able to share a really good novel, recommended by Ginny, Crossing to Safety. Our little library had a copy and now I am wondering if I would also enjoy his other books.

The Chinese are the queer people. The Spaniards are almost what they appear externally. You can half-read their mind after ten minutes of first acquaintance. Perhaps it is almost the same with all the common people of the world. But you have to dig deep to discover the real person in a Chinese. They talk little and their smile means many things including the diametrically opposites. They are secretive and pose just the opposite of what they actually think or plan. One can understand Stalin or Hitler but it was difficult to understand Mao Zedong. Nehru was a victim of this specious political face of Mao. There was a popular slogan in India –hindi chini bhai bhai( Indians and Chinese are like brothers) mainly at the behest of Nehru after Zhou Enlai's visit to India. So Nehru did not ever dream of making a strong and secure border with China. That was exactly what the Chinese wanted Nehru to believe before making a sudden aggression of their force deep into the northern territory of India. India is still licking her wound having lost a considerable land to China. Vietnam has lost some land to the Chinese. The crookedness of China is best exemplified in the old stories about China's business with Vietnam. Once China offered a lucrative offer that she would pay handsomely for the tails of cats. Enamored by such offer the Vietnamese people cut thousands of tails of their cats and sold them to China. This led to alarming increase of rodent population in Vietnam as the maimed cats were not able enough to catch them. These vermin ravaged crops all over the country. Now China came to their help by selling them cheap pesticides. The pesticide worked well and within a very short time the villages were filled the dead rodents and also with the dead chickens that fed on the carcasses of the rodents. But still the number of rodents was alarming and threat to the crops continued. But the villagers were now cautious and refused to buy any pesticide from China. But China was an indomitable friend. So now they sold plastic sheets for fencing the crop fields. These sheets were too high and slippery for the rodents to climb over. In another occasion China tempted the Vietnamese people by offering to buy cinnamon roots at abnormally high prices. The poor Vietnamese in order to make fortune sold the roots to them. Soon the cinnamon trees withered. So one should be very thoughtful on occasions when China comes forward to help with a smiling face. Has India learnt a lesson from her friendship?

Therefore, have an upper hand on that online site by being a little knowledgeable on what goes on in the Chinese dating world. However, do not stress yourself cramming things you cannot understand; just take a hunch.
Family is an important part of the Chinese culture. It is an entity that is regarded with respect and honor. Thus, if you are the type of person that dishonors family you need to change if at all you want to have fun dating a Chinese girl. She would like to introduce you to her family including the extended family so you better get comfortable.
You cannot afford to get bored during dinner or family picnic of your Chinese girl. So loosen up a bit. Cupid south africa hookup side in malaysia is a language that is growing in popularity every day. Therefore, in your endeavor to find a Chinese lady to date, try learning some Mandarin. Start by knowing some love related terms, Cupid south africa hookup side in malaysia can help you start a conversation when you start a chat online.
It is not mandatory that you learn Mandarin but try using some words on that dating site and you will be happy with the results. If you have never tasted Chinese food, consider trying some. This will help a lot if your Chinese girl decides to take you for dinner at a Chinese restaurant.
You do not want to be the odd one out in that restaurant. Thus be open minded and try out the Chinese cuisine. If not for dinner then do it to appreciate her culture. Chinese girls are uniquely beautiful. Their petite figure, spectacular eyes and flawless skin makes than adorable. Serve her beauty with gifts.
This does not mean that Chinese women are materialistic; it is only that they will appreciate it when you take care of their beauty.
So speaking out she is beautiful when you are on a live chat with a Chinese girl is a good way to gain favor. Instead of going for dinner every other time, try taking her for a massage session, shopping for jewelry or go out for a photo session; just the two of you.
If you are not from China, avoid the bottle as it shows that you regard the Chinese girl as cheap. Whenever you meet a Chinese girl in person or on an online dating site, be real, be yourself.
People have a tendency of yearning to impress a woman at first sight. This is not recommended; instead; be yourself. Remember honesty is paramount in the Chinese dating culture. Pretense puts Chinese girls off fast. If you want a Chinese girl, be honest from the first day you meet her or interact with her. Dating is a complicated and at the same time an easy task to undertake. You may think you have all it takes to date women from diverse origins but that is not real, even when looking to date Chinese girls.
One of the things you need to understand is that Chinese girls value growth in dating; each day is viewed as a vital stage in developing a relationship.
Therefore, take your time to know your Chinese girl. What does she like or hate?
What makes her laugh or sad. Such small aspects really matter in a relationship whether you agree or not. Do not be too busy doing things for your Chinese girl such as buying her gifts, and forget to take time to know her personally. If you intend to date a Chinese girl with the aim of marrying her, then you need to check your definition and view of marriage. It is not simply a piece of paper; you cannot wake up one day and decide to divorce your Chinese wife.
Remember, as mentioned earlier, Chinese girls value their culture and family so impromptu actions in marriage are discouraged. You will hurt that innocent Chinese girl yet most of the Chinese girls are loyal and keepers.

Book Review: The Last Breath by Kimberly Belle
Author: Kimberly Belle
Source: ARC for honest review
Goodreads Summary:
Humanitarian aid worker Gia Andrews chases disasters around the globe for a living. It's the perfect lifestyle to keep her far away from her own personal ground zero. Sixteen years ago, Gia's father was imprisoned for brutally killing her stepmother. Now he's come home to die of cancer, and she's responsible for his care—and coming to terms with his guilt.
Gia reluctantly resumes the role of daughter to the town's most infamous murderer, a part complete with protesters on the lawn and death threats that are turning tragedy into front-page news. Returning to life in small-town Tennessee involves rebuilding relationships that distance and turmoil have strained, though finding an emotional anchor in the attractive hometown bartender is certainly helping Gia cope.
As the past unravels before her, Gia will find herself torn between the stories that her family, their friends and neighbors, and even her long-departed stepmother have believed to be real all these years. But in the end, the truth—and all the lies that came before—may have deadlier consequences than she could have ever anticipated…
My Thoughts:
I was riveted from the first sentence, and the story just kept getting better and better.
Gia Andrews' family once used to be happy, with her father a revered member of the community. That all came to an abrupt end one day, when he was accused of killing her stepmother, and sent to jail. After sixteen years, he is on his way home, dying of terminal cancer. He will be under house arrest with hospice, and Gia is responsible for his care. Neither Gia, nor her brother or sister have seen him since he was locked up, and her siblings still are not interested in rekindling the relationship with their murderer father, despite the fact that he is on his deathbed.
As Gia cares for her father, questions arise, doubts surface, and Gia is determined to get to the bottom of what really happened the night her stepmother was killed. Throughout it all, Gia and her siblings must come to terms with their family and their father, and maybe even change the way they are living their own lives.
This story completely engrossed me. I didn't want to put it down, I just kept reading and reading until I was finished. I thought it had a few weak spots, but they were so small that they didn't bother me or my overall enjoyment of the book. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good murder mystery. I know this review is a bit vague, but I don't want to give any of the good stuff away!

Rahima came to Chicago from Pakistan in 2016, and even though she has been here for only one year, she takes her English study very seriously and excels at it. She is originally from Afghanistan, but moved early on to Iran with her husband. They lived in Tehran with her two sons and one daughter, later they moved to Pakistan where they spent twenty years before she had to flee, alone with her children and came to Chicago. She remembers her years in Iran with much happiness. Her favorite activity to do was to go to the library and read poetry by her favorite poet, Hafiz. She would share this activity with her daughter as well.
Her favorite craft to do is crochet, she is so good at it that she can see a picture of a piece and replicate it in a matter of hours.

Every year we hold a Poetry Competition in school. Our children at Morley Victoria love to read, share and perform poems! All classes in school learn a poem and perform it together. The competitions run in KS1 and KS2.
When they are ready they perform it to an audience. The performance is done in front of the rest of the key stage and a judging panel who always have the very difficult decision of deciding a winner.
Last year Miss Cook, Mr Dougal and Mrs Smith's classes were triumphant and won the competition. The performances get significantly better each year and more competitive!
Some years the key stage winners go on to perform at Morley Town Hall in the ASPIRE Performance Poetry Competition – this is an event not to be missed!

Gay men in Northern Ireland permitted to give blood
A lifetime ban on gay men donating blood in Northern Ireland is to be lifted in September.
The ban was originally implemented on the grounds of health risks but evidence from around the UK showed they had decreased with the introduction of the one-year deferral policy.
Since 2011, gay men in England, Scotland and Wales have been able to give blood 12 months after their last sexual encounter with another man.
Northern Ireland's health minister, Michelle O'Neill, made the decision regarding the blood ban and was not opposed by her DUP colleagues in the Stormont Executive.
"I think it is a good news story for the LGBT community," she said.
"It is a decision I have taken based on medical evidence that was put before me, which clearly shows that this was the right decision to take."
The announcement came just eight days after Mrs O'Neill assumed the health ministry.
Previously, successive Democratic Unionist health ministers had cited safety concerns for maintaining the lifetime ban.
John O'Doherty, director of the Rainbow Project, a body promoting the health and well-being of the LGBT community in Northern Ireland, described the announcement as "absolutely fantastic".
The blood ban in Northern Ireland was one of a number of LGBT issues that have recently been discussed at Stormont.
The most prominent remaining dispute is over the continuing ban on same-sex marriage in the country.
Discussions about lifting the ban in the Republic have been scheduled, with the Irish Blood Transfusion Service board set to meet with the country's health minister, Simon Harris, in the coming months.
It had brought the issue to light in April and, as was reported in the Irish Examiner, it is understood that a 12-month deferral will be recommended.
Upon hearing the news of the announcement, Mr Harris said he had noted the developments in the North.

What made you smile today? Was it a call from a friend, something you read, a job well done, a beautiful sunrise?
For me it was a rainy day, roses starting to bloom (ahh that sweet rose fragrance), the sound of my children's voices, a chilly morning cuddled up with my man before he had to get up for work, puppies at my feet when I write, and something as simple as a dandelion image I captured a few days ago.
It's funny how something so many hate as a weed can have such a beautiful structure and delicate nature. I guess I've always rooted for the underdog...or common weed, throughout my life.
Tonight, before you go to bed, think about those things that brought a smile to your face today...it's just what the doctor ordered...I promise! :)

Ford Begins Testing Car-to-Car Communication
By Arman Barari on Aug 07, 2012 with Comments 0
Ford is stepping up its safety game by kicking off real-world testing of its futuristic car-to-car communication technologies.
Real-world testing forms part of "Safe Intelligent Mobility – Testfield Germany," a four-year practical field test of the potential of intelligent communication systems to improve traffic safety and mobility. Ford contributes 20 specially-equipped S-MAX models to a 120 vehicle fleet that will be used to test new technologies over thousands of kilometres.
Now one might ask what is the use of cars talking to each other. What this technologies mean to average people is that roads could be made safer and traffic congestion reduced by using mobile communications technology to integrate vehicles with each other and with transport infrastructure. This will make the job of driving easier and less stressful.
Details in Ford press release:
Technologies being tested as part of the simTD research project include:
- Electronic Brake Light, which delivers a message from the lead vehicle to a following vehicle if an emergency braking procedure is carried out, even if the incident occurs out-of-sight, for example around a bend in the road. Ford is leading the development and integration of this application
- Obstacle Warning system, which enables a vehicle to inform other road users of the presence, position and type of potentially hazardous obstacles on the road
- Traffic Sign Assistant, which remains in continuous contact with traffic management centres to access up-to-date information on variable speed limits, temporary restrictions and diversions, as well as providing details of current and approaching permanent regulations, such as fixed speed limits and right of way
- Public Traffic Management, which provides exact traffic prognosis based on comprehensive information. This includes identifying likely traffic scenarios and their impact at the point in the journey when they are encountered rather than at the point of departure
- In-car internet access, which, for example, can enable the driver to reserve and pay for parking en-route
"The vehicles will cover thousands of kilometres in test drives and evaluations to gather valuable research data from every-day driving scenarios," said Christian Ress, technical expert, Ford Research and Advanced Engineering.
Ford is a global leader in researching car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communications. In 2004 it engaged in a partnership with Minnesota Department of Transportation, U.S., to equip 100 state vehicles with sensors to collect traffic-related data including vehicle speed, location, direction and even localised weather conditions, with the aim of developing the next generation of transportation and driver information systems.
Ford was also the first vehicle manufacturer in the U.S. to demonstrate intelligent vehicle communication technologies to the public, with a multi-city tour that began in 2010.
The company continues its involvement in such testing programmes in Europe, the U.S. and around the world, with the objective of harmonising global standards for messaging and hardware. Collating results from these programmes will enable Ford to deliver new technologies to global customers with greater speed, efficiency, and lower cost.
