An overview of the Indian Ocean Experiment, INDOEX, the first comprehensive campaign to study aerosol and trace gas distribution in the Indian Ocean Region, is presented. The main phase of INDOEX was in 1999 with a field phase in 1998 and preliminary observations in 1996 and 1997 (mainly because of Indian initiative). This was a major international initiative with participation from many institutions and agencies of India, the USA, Europe, and from Maldives and Mauritius. It was a multi-platform campaign combining ground based, shipborne, satellite and aircraft observations and had the single objective of reducing uncertainties in radiative forcing of aerosols, both direct and indirect. The campaign covered both aerosols and trace gases (O3, CO, NOx, SO2 etc), although subsequent analysis has been concentrated more on aerosols than on trace gases. The surprising result of an extensive haze layer with an appreciable component of black carbon, evidence of long distances transport of both aerosols and trace species and possible impacts on climate, health and agriculture have created much interest and some controversy. We present here an overview of some of the results, the implications of these in climate forcing, the unresolved aspects of sources of these pollutants, and a few comments on policy implications.

This paper provides a review of aerosol forcing results from the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) and also summarizes the follow-on modeling studies that examine the impact of the haze on regional climate. Every dry season from November to May, anthropogenic haze spreads over most of the northern Indian Ocean, and South and Southeast Asia. The INDOEX documented this Indo-Asian haze at various scales during 1995-2001. The haze particles consisted of several inorganic and carbonaceous species, including absorbing black carbon clusters, fly ash and mineral dust. Because of black carbon contributing as much as about 14% to the fine particle mass, the single-scattering albedo estimated by several independent methods was consistently around 0.9 both inland and over the open ocean. Anthropogenic sources contributed as much as 75% (±10%) to the aerosol loading and the optical depth. The regional aerosol forcing resulting from the direct and indirect effects was derived by integrating the multi-platform observations of satellites, aircraft, ships, surface stations and balloons with 1- and 4-D models. The haze layer reduces the net solar flux at the surface by as much as 20 to 40 Wm-2 on a monthly mean basis and heats the lowest 3 km atmosphere by as much as 0.4 to 0.8 K/day, which enhances the solar heating of this layer by 50 to 100%.
The INDOEX also documented year-to-year fluctuations of the haze forcing. For instance, the southernmost extent of the haze varied from about 10°S to about 5°N. In assessing the haze impacts on the cold dry-season regional climate, we conducted two CCM3 experiments with two extreme locations of the forcing: 1) extended haze forcing (EHF) and 2) shrunk haze forcing (SHF). Over India where the forcing is centered, the simulated climate changes are very similar between EHF and SHF. The most important effect of the haze is a surface cooling, and a strengthening of the inversion in the lower troposphere. The surface cooling has been confirmed by observations. The stabilization of the boundary layer results in a reduction of evaporation and sensible heat flux from the land. Rainfall patterns get substantially disrupted in local and remote regions, with the disruption being very sensitive to the southern extent of the imposed haze forcing. Both forcings lead to global circulation/precipitation perturbations; and the EHF produces about an order of magnitude larger responses. One key remote response to the haze is the suppression of convection in the western equatorial Pacific, which has implications for ENSO variability. Since the western Pacific convection suppression would weaken the trade winds over the Pacific and induce warm anomalies in the eastern basin, we speculate that the Great Indo-Asian haze might have an important role in the amplitude and frequency of El Niño events during the recent decades. The haze-ENSO connection is further demonstrated by the Cane-Zebiak Pacific Ocean/atmosphere model. The focus of the studies thus far has been on the dry season (November to May) aerosols. The role of anthropogenic aerosols during the wet season from June to September is to be explored.

Aerosol samples collected close to the air-sea interface, between February 1997 to February 1999, over the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal were analyzed to determine the atmospheric dry-deposition of Fe (dust inputs), anthropogenic constituents (NO3-, SO42-) and environmental nuclides (7Be, 210Pb). In general, aerosol 210Pb concentrations showed a good correlation with 7Be, suggesting the long-range transport of 210Pb from the continents (via upper troposphere) and similarities in the processes governing their deposition through the marine boundary layer (MBL). The relatively low 7Be/210Pb ratios observed over the Bay of Bengal, during February 1999, are dominated by aerosol transport from the continental surface sources. The dry deposition fluxes of 210Pb and 7Be, to these two oceanic regions, average around 245 and 1860 Bq m-2 y-1, respectively. The non-sea-salt (nss) SO42- (range: 1.7 to 9.4 µg m-3) and NO3- (range: 0.6 to 4.1 µg m-3) are uncorrelated in the MBL, presumably because continental pollution sources for SO42- overwhelm the transport of NO3- from crustal dust and biomass burning. The oceanic biogenic emission (DMS) constitutes a very minor source for nss-SO42-. The enhanced concentrations of aerosol NO3- and Fe observed over the Arabian Sea are attributed to dust storm activities from the adjacent desert areas (Saudi Arabia and Thar). Significant scatter in the linear regression analyses indicate that the aerosol composition along the coastal tracks is different from those transported to the open ocean. On average, dry deposition fluxes of N-NO3 and non-marine SO42- are 150 and 1225 mg m-2 y-1, respectively. In contrast, dry deposition of Fe over the Arabian Sea (255 mg m-2 y-1) far exceeds that over the Bay of Bengal (93 mg m-2 y-1). Thus, dust from desert regions appears to be a potential source of micronutrients (Fe) to the surface Arabian Sea.

The Surface Ocean-Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) is a new international research programme which aims to address our understanding of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system and the biogeochemical and physical interactions within it. The following examples of research topics to be studied under SOLAS are presented in the paper: the DMS-climate linkage, organo-iodine compounds and new particle formation, alkyl nitrates and oxygenated trace gases and atmospheric inputs mediating ocean biogeochemistry. Finally, we give a brief outline of the science agenda of the SOLAS programme.

The coastal atmosphere provides a complicated chemical environment that can have global implications for climate. For example, the continents transport an array of gases and aerosols, both natural dusts and pollutant species, which can interact with sea-salt and affect coastal clouds and their processing for deposition. Once over the coastal ocean, different mixtures of acids, bases, minerals, sea-salt and water under different solar irradiation can induce a host of heterochemical chemical reactions. Deposition of the products of these reactions can make a significant contribution of nutrient inputs to coastal waters and impact coastal ecosystems. However, the steep gradients and complex physical and chemical processes occurring in this transitional area between terrestrial and marine atmospheric domains complicate the quantification of these inputs. This synopsis considers a group of key processes such as interaction of climatic aerosols that operate to regulate atmospheric scavenging and deposition to the coastal environment

With a simple box model the seasonal variability of N2O and CH4 were simulated in surface layers in the central and western Arabian Sea. The model was able to reproduce the N2O measurements except for times when cold water filaments occur (i.e., during the SW monsoon). Based on the comparison of model results and measurements, it is concluded that the saturation of N2O in the surface layer of the Arabian Sea is mainly controlled by (i) the wind-driven air-sea exchange during the SW monsoon, (ii) entrainment of N2O from the subsurface layer, and (iii) sea surface temperature variability. However, the contribution of the factors listed above to the seasonality of the N2O saturations is different in the selected areas. The overall good agreement of model results and the majority of N2O measurements suggest that N2O formation in the surface layer of the Arabian Sea is negligible. The comparison of model's results and CH4 measurements revealed a more complex situation, partly due to considerable inconsistencies in the available CH4 data. Thus, the situation for CH4 remains unresolved and inconclusive.

Influences of tropical cyclones and wide spread south-west monsoon on the ocean-atmosphere fluxes of nitrous oxide (N2O) in the Arabian Sea are estimated. The NCEP/NCAR reanalysed wind speeds during a cyclone event are used to calculate N2O fluxes from the Arabian Sea. It is found that net emission of N2O from the Arabian Sea in a span of about 7 cyclonic days can contribute about 5.3% of its annual sources. This emission rate is about the same as that was observed (earlier estimates) during the south-west monsoon season in the Arabian Sea. The NIES/FRSGC global transport model is used to compute the tracer transport of monthly-mean high resolution fluxes to verify the significance of the Arabian Sea N2O emission in comparison with 9 other source types of N2O. The results show that the effect of N2O flux from the Arabian Sea on its concentration at a coastal station is larger than some of the global scale anthropogenic sources. The transport model simulations suggest that some natural phenomena in the oceanic regions can even produce the fluctuations in the N2O time-series observed in the southern hemisphere.

Measurements of O3, CO, CH4, NO and SF6 were made during four ship cruises in January, February and March months of years 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999 over the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. Measurements were also made over the Bay of Bengal in February and March of the year 2001. All the measured trace gases show systematic gradient with decrease in their mixing ratios from the Coastal India to the South Indian Ocean. Transport of these gases also takes place from the surrounding countries over the marine regions. Ozone and CO show higher values over the Bay of Bengal than over the Arabian Sea, indicating stronger transport of polluted air-masses from northeast India and south Asia. Dramatic increase in ozone levels in the marine boundary layer (MBL) while showing no signature of in-situ photochemical production indicates the role of dynamical processes. The diurnal patterns in ozone are very different over the marine environments when compared with continental site, which is due to the nature and levels of pollutants transported from the continental regions and emissions of certain gases over the marine regions. Estimate shows that ozone production over India is less efficient, when compared to mid latitude.

Trees also face the problem of the pest. Pests bring destruction to the trees; this is because they inhabit the tree and make it their home to which they eat up the tree from the inside leaving it dead. It is important to take care and control pest infestation on the trees with minimum environmental impact. One Two Tree Pest Control Miami use the modern techniques to manage the pests that affects the trees. Though there is an interdependence of trees with human beings, it is also wise to use methods that will not cause any harm to human, because the person might result in cutting off the tree.
Soil Injections
This method is used to control a broad range of insect problem. The land is treated against all manner of insect because it is the root to where the tree is growing. The required frequency of treatment depends on the size and the type of tree grown in that area.
Soil injection is mostly preferred by people because the tree will take in the protective chemicals through the roots and it will move throughout the tree as it takes in water and minerals from the soil. Some of the insects protected against through soil injections include aphids, leaf beetle, and leaf miners.
Preventive Sprays
These sprays are the best solution to bark beetles. These bugs mainly the bark part of the tree, the sprays work because they attack the root of the problem that is the bark. This method works well where the trees are many and are affected by the beetles; this is because the spray transfers to the other trees by thewind. Preventive sprays are not convenient in areas where the human population is high this is because it may be hazardous if the spray gets into the human circulatory system.
Disease Control
This is the most convenient way to control pest in trees. This involves monitoring your tree or even hiring an arborist to look at your tree, the arborist can tell you the kind of problem that your tree has and will help to take care of it and also show you ways to prevent an attack again. Trees disease are known to attack if a tree managed properly or if the tree is in a poor living environment. It is also advisable to water your tree to give them sufficient minerals to curb against diseases.
Tree pest control is a solution that prevents trees from dying or even not functions well in the interdependence in the environment. Therefore it is critical to manage and care for the trees in because they play a significant role in life.

Lately I have been thinking about the history I am keeping of and for my family. Taking pictures and writing about my kids has been one of my priorities as a mother. I treasure the photos and the stories I have compiled over the years. Scrapbooks, photo albums, seven years of family newsletters, and six years of blog books fill a book case downstairs. Those books are the first material possessions I would try to rescue if a fire broke out in my home.
My life has transformed in the last year. I don't have the luxury of free time. I am always behind, overwhelmed, and scattered. I am pulled in a hundred directions. When Kate was born I was so determined that I wouldn't let my blogging passion go as my life got busier, but the reality is that new priorities have surfaced. I don't like sitting at the computer. I feel duty-bound, rather than inspired, to blog. What was once a joy has become a chore.
Social media has also changed. When I started blogging, it was a very social, interactive activity. I loved getting feedback from friends and family about my life experiences. I reveled in the validation I received after posting crazy stories and pictures. I'm choosing not to take it personally that my blog doesn't get much traffic anymore, and that comments are few and far between. My once-fulfilling pastime has fizzled, and that's OK.
And so I retire as a blogger. I am a little sad about it (especially because of the sweet things people have said to me since I casually mentioned my plan to stop blogging), but I am also glad to give myself permission to walk away from something that isn't working anymore. Moving on and changing direction is just part of life.

Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project Reviews
3 Customer Reviews
Had this whiskey as single at The refinery located at west Dallas street and fell in love with the taste. My son and I enjoyed few more efferent American Whiskey/ies and ended our session with this SBW. Totally recommended.
For me, this feels similar to Pappy Van Winkle 23 year Family reserve. Glad I got more than one when the chance arose.
This bourbon is simply to die for, I broke the seal on this bottle and immediately the aroma was so sweet and pervasive that my guest rushed towards the source. Very smooth and satisfying drink I must say. definitive Proof that the yanks do a few things correctly and buffalo trace happens to be one of them. Cheers!

Interested in purchasing hampers..??
This hamper include :
- a tray of candies
- 2 types of traditional cookies
- 2 types of assorted peanuts
- 3 golden Nian Gao
Nián gāo, Year cake or Chinese New Year's cake is a food prepared from glutinous rice and consumed in Chinese cuisine. It is available in Asian supermarkets and from health food stores. While it can be eaten all year round, traditionally it is most popular during Chinese New Year. It is considered good luck to eat nian gao during this time, because "nian gao" is a homonym for "higher year." The Chinese word 粘 (nián), meaning "sticky", is identical in sound to 年, meaning "year", and the word 糕 (gāo), meaning "cake" is identical in sound to 高, meaning "high". As such, eating nian gao has the symbolism of raising oneself higher in each coming year (年年高升 niánnián gāoshēng).

Nanhe is an ardent fan of Cricket.
India has win convincingly over Bangladesh in the opening match.
Here is a short poem written by Nanhe for Dhoni & Co. wishing them all the best for their campaign………….
One billions heart
One desire
2011 World Cup
Should be ours!
The 28 years wait has been long
It shouldn't be any longer
Get over the opponents
And show them our vigor
Sachin Sehwag will anhilate
Gambhir Virat Yuvraj causing devastation
Dhoni Pathan will desolate
Zaheer Bhajji: a lethal combination
supported by Nehra Patel
will demolish any opposition
Let there be no doubt
Thump the world
and send the message
clear and loud
2011 World Cup
is going to be ours!
Being brutal and austerous
Obdurate and relentless
is the key for execution
and to open the doors of realization
The countdown is over
The game has begun
Stakes are high
Expectations and nerves even higher
We are sure that 2011 world cup
will be ours!
Chak de India!!!!

I went to the library with Gunther today.
First of all, I think libraries are a strange concept. I mean I get the theory that it's a good thing to loan people books for free because it would be great if the country weren't filled with illiterate morons. But to see it in practice seems a little weird. I kept thinking, "So you're just going to give me all these DVD's for free?" How does Netflix compete with them?
Anyway, that weirdness aside, the library is a tough place to talk to strangers because you're pretty much not supposed to talk at all. I mean, there weren't any old lady librarians shushing me, but I think the rule of not talking in a library is pretty universally respected.
But I did anyway. Obviously the "in" is the book itself. And I've been sensitive to the fact that I've been talking to mostly hot women lately, so I turned to some dude about my age who was reading "The 4-Hour Body" and said, "What's that about?"
He explained the basic premise about how you can make all sorts of amazing changes to your life with little effort (not sure about that) and we started a kind of debate about people being lazy and self-help books in general.
Then, the weird thing happened. The conversation drew the attention of a hot girl. She chimed in to give her opinion (which was: anything that helps people is fine by her) and twenty minutes later, we were having coffee in the little cafe in the library. We exchanged info so maybe we'll go out some time.
So it turns out that libraries are pretty cool.

St Mary Federation
Policies & information
Term dates
Welcome to the St Mary Federation, made up of Brancaster C of E VA Primary School, Docking C of E primary School and Nursery, and Sedgeford Primary School, three wonderful schools, each with their own distinct personalities, but all with the same vision, working together to provide the best education possible for our children.
We all love to see our children succeed, and our results prove that our children make strong progress from their starting points but at the St Mary Federation we also believe in enriching our children and developing them into well-rounded citizens through an exciting curriculum, and extra-curricular opportunities.
We are highly inclusive and like to make sure that everyone can succeed in a place where they feel safe, happy and well. All of our children have their own talents and we aim to develop these to the best of their ability – we believe that anything is possible if you 'aspire and grow'.
Children have a clear voice at our school, especially through our school councils and they are encouraged to help us make decisions about our schools. We like to feel that we work as one big team alongside parents, Governors, volunteers and the local communities and that everyone contributes to what makes us special.
We would love to invite you to visit and look round any or all of our schools. Please contact us to arrange this. You will always be welcome.
The St Mary Federation is made up of three village primary schools set in a beautiful corner of northwest Norfolk. We officially became a federation on 1 May 2015 but we have been working together for some time now. We're passionate about continuing to offer outstanding education in our villages. The schools have all been providing education for over 150 years!
The villages are either on the coast or within 10 minutes drive from it and they are approximately 30 minutes from King's Lynn. You can drive between the furthest apart schools, Brancaster and Sedgeford, in 20 minutes and they are all within an eight mile distance from Hunstanton, which is the nearest small town. Our schools officially feed into Smithdon High School in Hunstanton though children from Brancaster School also choose to go to Alderman Peel High School in Wells-next-the-Sea. The Smithdon cluster is very active and strongly supportive of its schools.
Our vision, values and ethos
The St Mary Federation values every child as an individual.
Together, as a school community:
We will develop an ethos that is deeply rooted in the Christian faith and that reflects our shared British values.
We will encourage our children to grow into well-rounded citizens who live out these values in their lives on a daily basis and who aspire to make a positive contribution to the wider community.
We are committed to developing three thriving schools that will engage and inspire the hearts and minds of children, parents, staff and all local stakeholders in our villages.
We will, in each school, provide a safe, challenging and relevant learning environment that inspires children to achieve their full potential as enthusiastic, inquisitive, confident and resilient human beings.
We want our children to succeed in life by helping them learn to be independent and by encouraging them to do their best to achieve their full potential.
We want our children to "Aspire and Grow"
Our senior leaders
Interim Executive Headteacher: Ms P Jones
Deputy Headteacher / SENDCo: Amanda Morris

Splash Backs
Glass paint technology has evolved to meet the ever increasing demand for back painted glass products.
This versatile glass product is used predominantly for cladding applications and is equally suited to a residential kitchen splashback application as it is to cladding the walls within a busy office reception or wetroom/shower enclosure. We use a low iron glass which is colourless to allow the true back painted colour to show through. Glass splashbacks are highly reflective and allow an option to add a bright burst of colour or to blend a base colour in to a room such as white, grey or cream.
We would always recommend choosing a complimentary colour rather than colour matching to other painted areas within a room. Where previously looked upon as a feature to be used sparingly, it has developed into a fundamental element of contemporary interior design often used as the primary wall finish. The range of possible applications is virtually endless, and the following are just a few typical examples:
- Kitchen splashbacks, serveries, back bars, tea points and vanity units
- Decorative wall cladding – reception areas, lift lobbies, meeting rooms, AV walls
- Bathrooms and WC – wall cladding, bath and shower enclosures, urinal screens and cubicle back walls within commercial toilets
- Bespoke Joinery – reception desks, bars, counters and credenza units


text: A fascinating elaboration--and somewhat of a departure for Atwood (The Robber Bride, 1993, etc.)--of the life of Grace Marks, one of Canada's more infamous killers. As notorious as our own Lizzy Borden, Grace Marks was barely 16 when she and James McDermott were arrested in 1843 for the brutal murder of their employer Thomas Kinnear and his pregnant mistress/housekeeper Nancy Montgomery. The trial was a titillating sensation; McDermott was hanged, and Grace was given the dubious mercy of life imprisonment. Some felt her an innocent dupe, others thought her a cold-blooded murderer; the truth remains elusive. Atwood reimagines Grace's story, and with delicate skill all but replaces history with her chronicle of events. Anchoring the narrative is the arrival of Dr. Simon Jordan, who has come to investigate the sanity of Grace after some 16 years of incarceration. A convert to the new field of psychiatry, Jordan is hoping to help Grace recover her memory of the murders, which she claims no recollection of. He begins by asking for her life story. Grace tells him of her first commission as a laundry maid in a grand house, and of her dear friend Mary, dead at 16 from a botched abortion. On she goes until she calmly relates the events that led up to the murders, and her attempted escape with McDermott afterward. Hypnotism finally "restores" her memory (or is Grace misleading Jordan?), with results that are both shocking and ambiguous. Employing a variety of narratives--Grace's own, Dr. Jordan's, letters, newspaper accounts from the time, poems from the period, and the published confessions of the accused--a complex story is pieced together. The image of the patchwork quilt, used repeatedly in the novel, is a fitting metaphor for the multiplicity of truths that Grace exemplifies. Through characteristically elegant prose and a mix of narrative techniques, Atwood not only crafts an eerie, unsettling tale of murder and obsession, but also a stunning portrait of the lives of women in another time.

Anthem Blue Cross patients with HIV/AIDS may "opt-out" of a program that would have required them to obtain their medications by mail order under a settlement announced by Consumer Watchdog and Whatley Kallas LLC.
The lawsuit, filed in January in San Diego Superior Court, alleged that Blue Cross's mandatory mail order program announced late last year illegally targeted HIV/AIDS patients, threatening their health and privacy.
Download the lawsuit filed by Consumer Watchdog and Whatley Kallas here.
Download the settlement here.
Case Background
Due to the complex nature of HIV/AIDS drug regimens, patients rely on their local pharmacists who, working directly with patients, monitor potentially life-threatening adverse drug interactions. Pharmacists also provide essential advice and counseling that help HIV/AIDS patients and families navigate the challenges of living with a chronic and often debilitating condition.
HIV/AIDS patients also expressed serious concerns about a loss of privacy associated with the proposed mail order program. For example, HIV/AIDS specialty medications often are delivered in refrigerated containers. Patients who live in apartment buildings or have medications delivered to their work place expressed concern that neighbors and co-workers who were not aware of their condition would come to suspect that they were seriously ill. Mail-order shipment also presents the risk of lost or stolen medications.
As a result of the settlement, any current Blue Cross member prescribed HIV/AIDS medications, and any member prescribed those medications in the future, have an unconditional right to opt-out of the Blue Cross mail-order program at any time. Blue Cross members who opt-out can continue purchasing such medications at a retail pharmacy.
Beginning June 1, Blue Cross members will be able to opt-out of the mail-order program by contacting Blue Cross's mail-order pharmacy, CuraScript, on a dedicated toll-free telephone line. Consumers currently prescribed such medications should receive a letter late next week from Blue Cross providing this telephone number and additional instructions for opting-out. Blue Cross members may also submit a claim for reimbursement of any out-of-pocket costs incurred as a result of enrolling in the CuraScript mail-order program between December 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013.

Penning down a tragic story of the partition of India and all the haunted memories associated with it, Khushwant Singh wrote this story in the year 1956. When India got butchered into two parts India and Pakistan, swarms of people migrated, brutally killed and raped from both ends. Was it the time, situation, Hindus or Muslims whose deeds gifted this punishment to the innocent people who lost their life and loved ones at that time.
The story is based at Mano Majra, a village, at the border of India and Pakistan where a local money lender was murdered. Till then the partition had no impact on the village but then train full of Sikh corpses started arriving at Mano Majra station which fueled a feeling of agitation amongst the crowd of that village. The villagers including Muslims and Hindus who were living together since birth separated into two groups and a decision was made to send all the Muslims to their country "Pakistan".
Detailing minutest feelings and wounds that communal riots leave on the lives of innocent people, Kushwant Singh quoted:
Not forever does the bulbul sing
In balmy shades of bowers,
Not forever last the spring
Nor ever blossom flowers.
Nor forever reigneth joy,
Sets the sun on days of bliss
Friendships not forever last,
They know not life, who know not this.
With this beautiful poetry/quote, separation of India and Pakistan and some more innocent lives ends the story as the train leaves the Mano Majra station taking all the Muslim refugees with itself to Pakistan.

Insights into becoming a Programmer
Over this year a number of members expressed the desire to become a programmer. This desire was driven by a number of expressed reasons. Finding if you have "the right stuff" can be very costly in time, money and aggravation … after all it seems so simple. If you are thinking about programming as a career or just want insight into computers or programming you want to join us this Saturday at Hope Church, 9 AM sharp, in Room 224.
NOT everyone can be a programmer … I've seen 75%+ of a class drop out before mid-terms destroying their visions of quick high paying job because they did not "sanity check" those dreams. I've witnessed people who had to take a class then changed their major to be a programmer. The income as a programmer is good IF you have the aptitude, skills, and will. In 3 hours this Saturday, for free, you can get insight into what others spent months and hundreds of dollars to discover.
What I'll discuss with you are:
This is a learning and discovery opportunity to gain insight and knowledge and NOT to make anyone look bad. There are many bright well educated people who were never a programmer or could write a program or even cared to. We each have unique skills, abilities and talents … perhaps this is something that you have yet to discover about yourself because of a lack of opportunity or appropriate setting. I did not discover my skills in and passion for this area until an optional opportunity presented itself to me … something like this session.
I believe programmers start in the $30 to $40,000 range and can rise quickly with demonstrated ability and passion. Very good and specialized programmers can go into the low $100,000 range for certain industries once they prove themselves.
I hope to see you there. And if people elect not to come for this, we can talk about job search challenges you are facing!

Although noise pollution is a growing concern to all global dwellers, it's perhaps a particularly pertinent issue to the people of India. It's there, that a population of 1.2 billion3 can't help but contribute to the country's growing plague of noise pollution. Even the few who are advocates against excessive and unnecessary noise are guilty of making sound waves of their own. This is the current paradox of the Indian people submerged in a sea of sound. Ironically, the vibrations of contemporary India are a far cry from the delicate mantras of Hinduism's Brahma or World Soul. The Aum is meant to entomb harmony and balance through a meshing of all things. Not surprising, the uncompromising dissonance of our own inventions disrupts the very balance of life's natural vibrations.
Noise pollution has somehow become the neo world soul of India. Perhaps, a sound or multiple sounds to be relished rather than be down upon. But, human health, wildlife and nature in general disagree. Distaste for noise is something that people of all walks of life share. In a recent survey, I discovered that 21 out of 23 of my classmates find noise to be bothersome4. India's population is familiar with the concept of noise pollution and its many adverse effects. Alongside health problems such as insomnia, attention deficit disorder, and hearing loss, noise pollution is also a great source of environmental disturbance. Wildlife and natural, native habitat and scenery are increasingly lost, which in turn fuels further deforestation as a result of it being of less quality in terms of land equity.
India is getting smaller every year5. In fact, the Indian plate as it is referred to, is actually decreasing in size by nearly 2 inches per year as it merges with the northern Eurasian plate. Obviously, a population that experiences such rapid growth, yet is dwindling in terms of land area would begin to show inevitable signs of wear and tear. To the surprise of many scholars and researchers, the adverse effects of noise pollution have emerged as a first of perhaps many problems the country of India will face as a result of "overpopulation"6.
Aside from overpopulation, the causes of India's noise pollution problems are widely varying and often, quite easily overlooked when isolated. Car alarms, street vendors, musicians, produce trucks, boiling pots, zippy mopeds and crying babies are just a few of the sounds that fill the air on a typical, urban afternoon in New Dehli. The capital of India, the city is home to roughly fourteen million people, which is nearly the size of the state of Florida alone in terms of population.
Naturally, being exposed to noise pollution for prolonged periods of time has been known to bring about many health problems. On the forefront of noise-related health problems is insomnia, stress, decreased productivity, and of course, hearing loss or impairment.
Indians are nearly 4 times as likely to suffer from bouts of insomnia than Americans1. The correlation between health and noise are quite obvious to the large number of people living in India's largest cities. Many Indians living in urban areas are largely living in states of uncontrollable chaos and high concentrations of noise pollution. It is here that the population experiences the adverse effects of noise pollution firsthand.
Unfortunately, humans aren't the only ones feeling the negative effects of noise pollution. Noise from urban and industrial development eventually drives precious wildlife species from their natural habitats, increasing endangerment and even extinction. In fact, it may be happening faster than we know. "Animals communicate in a similar way to humans—by vocalizing"7. Unfortunately, without proper communicatory ability due to noise, chances of survival for much wildlife in India are drowning in a sea of seemingly meaningless sound.
Like the rest of the world, it may be initially difficult for the Indian people to understand the importance of wildlife conservation and the like. However, the cyclical nature of India's soul and prosperity may be at risk as well. The outcome of noise pollution's effect on wildlife and nature may be less detectable, because it is to be experienced second-hand and without a doubt, after a great trickling has taken place. Urban noise, wildlife, nature, tourism, health and economy are all part of a cyclical nature contemplated by Brahmin of Hinduism.
Current efforts and studies show that urban planners in India's major metropolitan cities could benefit greatly by looking at molds formed by fellow national titans of ingenuity. In England, for example, city planners and dwellers alike have collectively turned their urban woes into smiles and joy. They've done this through a series of what is referred to as "green spaces"8. It's here that citizens "connected to nature, even unconsciously, can make life worth living"8! Conceptually, England's isolated efforts and implementation of "green spaces"8 serve as a highly effective tool in combatting urban noise pollution.
India is a vibrant land that offers much to any willing student. The growing population there is truly an intricate part of this great society. Unfortunately, the need for technological advancement and sheer ingenuity has superseded the need for existential harmony. Ironically, it is the very nature of the Indian population that drives the neo-Aum of Today's Industry in India. The spirit of the Indian people is a strong one. Their achievements have long been an example of greatness to their global peers. For now, it is up to further research and human ingenuity in India's next great frontier: noise pollution.

This blog is about using ICTs to develop climate change preparedness solutions built around Energy Internet and autonomous eVehicles
Energy Internet and eVehicles Overview
Governments around the world are wrestling with the challenge of how to prepare society for inevitable climate change. To date most people have been focused on how to reduce Green House Gas emissions, but now there is growing recognition that regardless of what we do to mitigate against climate change the planet is going to be significantly warmer in the coming years with all the attendant problems of more frequent droughts, flooding, sever storms, etc. As such we need to invest in solutions that provide a more robust and resilient infrastructure to withstand this environmental onslaught especially for our electrical and telecommunications systems and at the same time reduce our carbon footprint.
Linking renewable energy with high speed Internet using fiber to the home combined with autonomous eVehicles and dynamic charging where vehicle's batteries are charged as it travels along the road, may provide for a whole new "energy Internet" infrastructure for linking small distributed renewable energy sources to users that is far more robust and resilient to survive climate change than today's centralized command and control infrastructure. These new energy architectures will also significantly reduce our carbon footprint. For more details please see:

Small Windpower Can Make a Difference in Remote Telecom Facilities
Small Windpower Can Make a Difference in Remote Telecom Facilities
Yesterday at 7:12pm
In the spirit of James Burke, it is always fun to follow the leads and find the connections. In this case, we start with a USA Today article "Wind backs up Honolulu airport power." Hawaii and clean tech are one of my personal interest. The crux of the story is how the Hawaii Department of Transportation (DOT) has supplemented the power consumed with 16 small 1 Kw wind turbines. Nothing remarkable about a 16 Kw system. 16 Kw would be fine to offset daily power use for a utility building (in this case, the backup power for the Honolulu airport). How these small turbines were mounted drew in my attention.
The system is a state Department of Transportation pilot project and data is being gathered to determine the system's cost savings and energy output. It was installed at the end of June and cost about $100,000. Photos by RICHARD AMBO | The Honolulu Advertiser
We've seen many different wind systems which take advantage of the building's real estate. But, the leading roof top edge has interesting aerodynamic benefits. Buildings have interesting aerodynamic effects. It is a whole specialty realm of engineering which is currently focused on physical stress loads on the build's structure.
AeroVironment, the makers of the small, modular wind turbine installed at Honolulu's Airport is on to something which would have significant impact to the way we look at structures. AreoVironment is a revolutionary aviation company. They understand aerodynamics from a flight perspective. Yet, with their Architectural Wind Services, they are applying that knowledge to leverage "the natural acceleration in wind speed resulting from the building's aerodynamic properties. This accelerated wind speed can increase the turbines' electrical power generation by more than 50% compared to the power generation that would result from systems situated outside of the acceleration zone." Imaging what would happen if the expertise from AeroVironment was synergized with a company like Force Technologies? What could be gained by mindfully designing a building to capitalized the natural wind dynamics and use the changes the build acts on those dynamics to recoup energy?
As a minimum today, we can see telecoms buildings in remote rual areas use AeroVironment's small wind technology to cost effectively offset power utilization. The price range for 12 units range at list between $134,000 to $180,000. In most areas of the US country with commercial electrical rates, that would be a ~5 year payback for the investment. Given that most telecommunications facilities have lifecycles which last decades, this is an interesting investment in energy offsets. Move this to a developing country installation, where you have higher electricity rate, fuel cost (generators), and unpredictable power, and the attractiveness increases. Then add the utilization of space. AeroVironment's installation on the building does not interfere with other roof mounted solar installations or pole/antenna mounted wind systems. So this specific design can be used as a local power producing suite – offsetting the electrical cost of the telecommunications facility while opening the door for feed-in tariffs for any excess (if there are feed-in tariffs).

I saw this quote from Lauren Fleshman on her new appreciation on marathons and the people who run them and I think it is another way of restating the 1977 Joe Falls quote I highlighted in yesterday's blog post on the Boston Marathon.
Lauren said:
"The runners is Boston seem special. Maybe it's because they are all God's children. They seem to understand charity and they seem to understand discipline. How many times in the course of 80 years has one runner paused to aid another runner. That's charity. And who will ever know of all the discipline that they put into their lives in order to prepare themselves to run in this race, this arduous test of one's self."
Here is Lauren Fleshman's blog.
I guess that is part of what they mean by Boston Strong.

Date update: January, 13, 2004
firstname.lastname@example.com !!!
!!! ATTENTION: I'm very surprise to see the banners of this companyes in my gallery.
I never work with their production. I never give my agree to placed this banners.
And nobody to ask me about it.

Regards, Rina Stepnaya
Today, January, 13, 2004,
I have received the following letter from the representative silvercharmsinc.com .
Dear Rina:
I have read this information when did a search under silvercharmsinc.com and this came up. This is to the link of the problem:
This is the content of the problem:
"!!! ATTENTION: I'm very surprise..."
First I would like to know what the problem with our site is.
Second of all if there is a banner on your site we didnt put it there we dont have access to it and we arent dishonest. The only think I can think of it that someone you know had done that. If you dont like our banner then remove it because we cant remove it because we didnt put it there. The only way a banner can be gotten from us is from being an affiliate through our website and once they sign up they are the only ones that can put the banner on their website.
You have wrote on this unscrupulous, dishonest method of work well being that we didnt put the banner on your website or anything of that nature then I would recommend that you had change this information that you wrote and remove our name from this problem, we will check back often to see that this has been done. We do our best to take care of our customers and if there is any problem we would like to know about it so it can be rectified and if you have a question on this matter then please feel free to call us.. "
We dont condone any one to use our banners in a way other then what is specified also our banners that we give out to our customers who have sign up for it are the only way they can get the banner. Once they have the banner they must install on their website and if a customer of theirs clicks on the banner they (the website owner) gets a portion of the sale if their customer purchases anything on our site. We treat all customers with respect and give money out according to our banners we dont expect anyone to do this for free that is why we give out money on the banners as described above. Our banners are coded so we know whose banner it is. Please send a copy of the banner or show me the link where it is and we will get to the bottom of it.
If you have any questions please dont hesitate to email us or call us.
Thank you
From its part I think, that incident with this company is exhausted(settled).
It seems to me, that the further decision of the problem should occur between this company and administration of a site tripod.
I understand, that the administration of a site tripod has the right to place advertising banners of other companies on my page. But advertising of beads, strings, tools for performance of the works, similar mine, looks as if proceeds from my name. I value my name and can not allow, that it was used in a similar way. As I never really worked with production of these firms and I can not recommend it.
Recognizing and respecting rights of administration of a site tripod, I think, that my comment to the given episode was necessary, and my reaction - is adequate.
I am sorry for my bad English
Yours faithfully,

Investigators Find Synthetic Cannabinoids in Johnson County Quickmart BP [PHOTOS]
On September 10, the Johnson County Sheriff's Office Aggressive Criminal Enforcement Unit raided the Quickmart BP on Highway 50 in Kingsville. The Johnson County Sheriff's Office served a search warrant after a month of investigations, where the authorities were working with federal authorities in an attempt to stop the sales of synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic cathinones in Johnson County.
The Johnson County investigators seized several packages of the cannabinoids and synthetic cathinones, 1000 pieces of drug paraphernalia inside the store, and $5,000 in U.S. Currency that is believed to be profits of the illegal drug selling operation. 54-year-old Rana Usman of Kansas City, Missouri, was arrested after 14 packages of synthetic narcotics were found on him.
Usman was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia with the intent to distribute. Usman's bond was set at $25,000.
48-year-old Terri L. Fagan, of Kingsville was also arrested for distribution of a controlled substance, but was released pending the filing of formal charges.

A "staggering" amount of necessary care is left undone by nurses at the end of their shifts because of staffing pressures. Do you agree? Is this affecting you? Add your comments and they could be published in the magazine
A "staggering" amount of necessary care is left undone by nurses at the end of shifts because of staffing pressures, according to latest findings from a landmark nursing study.
The study authors said there was also a "clear relationship" between the number of tasks left incomplete and the number of registered nurses per patient.
What care is being left undone at your workplace? What do you think the consequences will be? Will patient care be influenced?
What do you think? Add your comments and they could be published in the magazine

I have seen this first hand. I spent 6 weeks with my mother in a North London Hospital. Half an hour before the ende of the shift patients were ignored, they didnt get drinks, taken to the toilet etc because nurses needed to srt out the paper work for the shift change. Roma Felstein SafeandSound Training.
maybe there is not enough time as too much of it is spent on work which is demanded on nurses which is not necessary and on rituals, some of which could now be redundant.
Perhaps, Roma Felstein, they could do the writing up at the start of the day ( forgetting about washes, drug rounds, ward rounds, handing over, taking people to scan, feeding, toiletting,ad nauseum ad infinitum) and use a crystal ball or tea leaves to divinate what was going to happen during the shift. Half an hour without a cup of tea will not kill anyone, no matter how precious they are. I'm sure that you are a dutiful daughter who goes around to your mothers house every night at half seven and make her a cup of tea and toast, and then go up and down her street asking all her neighbours if they want the same, all while doing your day to day job, which CANNOT be left until the morning because if you did you'd be castigated in the Daily Fail as a disgrace to all those involved in Training since the Crimean War? Thought not.
unfortunately, due to the pressures of paper work, and remember if 'its not documented its not been done' care of the non urgent type - yes making a cup of tea- is left, hopefully for someone else to do. there are many many times, that nurses do not finish the shift on time due to the pressures of the work, then having to catch up on the paper work, it is not practicable to write it as you go along, as there is normally to many interruptions, as soon as anyone sees you with a pen in hand, guaranteed- someone whether patient or collegue will want help with something, so the last half hour of the shift, we try and 'hide' to do the paper work.
The Daily Fail - I like that.
We do our best, if that isn't good enough for you Roma please come and show us how it should be done.
Roma Felstein. no mention, as far as I can see in the article. who, where or what is it? place, person, writer connected in some way with the article or those unwanted eastern European Roma who are causing trouble in the west? any ideas. it was mentioned by RedPads in a comment above.
Anon 3.26 pm
Roma Felstein- it's there right at the end of the paragraph of the first reply, indeed it is the final sentence, and I quote ' Roma Felstein SafeandSound (sic) Training'.
Do pay attention at the back!
Id just like to ask the author of the first post,Roma, what she did about what she states happened,or not,at the time?
If my mother had been in such an awful place then I certainly wouldn't have allowed her to remain there for 6 weeks in such supposed suffering?.I sincerely doubt patients were ignored and in such a continued manner hence why I ask what you did about it at the time???????
I think it has to be considered what exactly is within the remit of a Nurse to fulfill in one shift.With the best will in the world a Nurse can not do everything for everyone all of the time.That is why they,we, work in a Team of people with different roles and responsibilities who work together to fulfill the needs of our patients.It is about delegation of care and prioritising your workload with the support of your team in order to ensure a high level of care is given.The majority of paperwork is completed at the end of the shift in order to give an accurate account of the care of the patients but in my experience never at the expense of the patients and certainly never dine instead of answering the request for a cup of tea or the toilet.
I find it interesting that you appear to be linked to some sort of Training company???? Lets hope what you are evidenced based and not at all idealistic in what you teach/preach.
although care left undone is vitally important, people who are hasty to make judgements fail to see the larger picture of what goes on behind the scenes and the time consuming care, which cannot be neglected at any cost, which is being done!
nurses are pragmatists who have to act in the here and now and often have to react very fast to stabilise the rapidly changing condition of some of their patients and unfortunately cannot be everywhere all the time for everybody. they are also subject to continuous, and sometimes distracting interruptions from all directions.
their resources and work need to be carefully examined and equated with the demands on their time needed to provide adequate care and to see what there is of slightly lower priority in acute care situations which can be left out entirely or delegated to others where the expertise or attention of nurses is not immediately required.
To answer all these comments. I know that nurses are very busy and my comment was that it is because of too much paper work that sometimes patients at the ed of shifts are ignored. It is not just cups of teas but far more important things. I decided to pay someone to sit with my mother because I couldn't be there all the time. This was after I came in to find food cold because she couldn't feed herself and soiled sheets because she had kept asking to go to the toilet but the nurses were too busy to take her. I fully understand the pressure on nurses but the system was not working with my mother who sadly is no longer here. I know the system wasn't working be ause I watched it not work for 6 weeks.

In other news Wednesday, a Federal Reserve report said the U.S. economy improved in every part of the country. In Pakistan, intelligence officials reported U.S. drone aircraft killed six suspected Taliban fighters near the Afghan border. The attacks come two days after Pakistan's spy chief asked the CIA to limit drone attacks.
Read the Full Transcript
The U.S. economy has improved in every part of the country this spring. The Federal Reserve released the findings today in its regional survey.
On Wall Street, the news helped stocks recover from early losses. The Dow Jones industrial average gained seven points to close just under 12,271. The Nasdaq rose 16 points to close at 2,761.
In Pakistan, intelligence officials reported U.S. drone aircraft killed six suspected Taliban fighters today. The officials said drones fired seven missiles in a forested region of South Waziristan near the Afghan border. Pakistan's spy chief met with CIA Director Leon Panetta on Monday and reportedly asked for new limits on the missile attacks.
Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has been detained as part of a far-reaching corruption probe. The announcement came early today, hours after Mubarak was hospitalized.
We have a report narrated by Carl Dinnen of Independent Television News.
When people learned Hosni Mubarak was in hospital last night, they gathered outside.
Under questioning from prosecutors, he had suffered what's being described as a heart crisis, although some reports suggested he'd deliberately not eaten for 48 hours. But Mubarak's hospital is now his prison. He's been detained for 15 days, pending the investigation.
It's a striking turn of events for a man who was president of Egypt just two months ago. Investigators said he had bridled at being called the accused, telling them to remember he was president. The reported answer: "No one is above the law."
MAN (through translator):
Are prisons made for some people and not others? No. Prison are for any wrongdoers. And this is a courageous decision from the public prosecutor.
MAN (through translator):
Honestly, I was very happy, because, since the first day he said he was stepping down, he should have been investigated, and his children as well.
And his children are now being investigated, Cairo's Torah prison the new home to Mubarak boys Gamal and Alaa. They join more than a dozen former regime officials, so no discreet retirement to a luxury villa in Saudi for the most notable victim of the Arab spring. Instead, a closely guarded hospital built in the shape of a pyramid, the ancient resting place of Egyptian despots.
Plans now call for Mubarak and his two sons to appear in court next Tuesday.
Thousands of women and children marched in Syria today, demanding the release of some 350 men detained in a crackdown on dissent. The protesters blocked a main coastal highway between the cities of Tartous and Banias. The men were detained in that area. Witnesses reported about 100 of the detainees were later released.
A federal jury in San Francisco has convicted Major League Baseball's home-run king, Barry Bonds, of obstruction of justice. The jury deadlocked on three other counts in the former star's perjury trial. The judge declared a mistrial on those. Bonds was accused of lying to a federal grand jury when he denied that he knowingly used steroids and human growth hormone.
Stereo equipment magnate and "Newsweek" magazine owner Sidney Harman died late Tuesday in Washington. A family statement cited complications from leukemia. Harman made his fortune in the 1950s, as his company Harman Kardon pioneered the first high-fidelity stereo receivers. Later, he served in the Commerce Department under President Carter and was married to former Congresswoman Jane Harman of California. Sidney Harman was 92 years old.
Those are some of the day's major stories.
