Just when I thought that summer was going to skip over San Francisco completely… it arrives. I absolutely love the Indian summers in the Bay Area. This past weekend the Mister and I decided to take full advantage of the warm weather by taking a day trip to Stinson Beach with the dog. Not a bad weekend overall… how was yours?

Roof selection and details - Carles Broto
The author's name is Carles Broto from Barcelona, but sometimes he signs his books as Charles Broto.
The book is basicly a description of roof systems with many images, some sections, a projects selection and a short introduction to each chapter. It doesn't seem bad as a first introduction to the topic, but I would not rely too much on its accuracy.
Chapter 1 deals with types of roofs - nice details and clear graphic descriptions of each element. For those of us not English native, a good help indeed! Pitched roofs are described in chapter 2, covering monopitch, gable end, hipped and polyhedral roofs. Chapter 3 covers curved roofs, while chapter 4 goes for flat ones, both the walk-on and the ones with gravel finish. Chapter 5 explains the roof/facade systems, so common lately. Other types of roof (such as simmingpool, parking and green roofs) are described in chapter 6. Next one covers auxiliary elements as skylights, louvres, eaves, vents, chimney pots, gutters and drains. The last chapter describes the most common roofing materials: ceramic and slate tiles, bituminous and synthetic membranes, wood, glass and metal.
In summary: a simple writing style, no profound findings, good quality images. The price ($55) looks like a bit high to me though.

Roofing materials can vary depending on what your preference. Often tiles, shingles or metal are the best choices for long life and good looks.

text: At our last club event a club member suggested that we pursue the idea of prescheduled, recurring local meet-ups. The concept would be that once a month there would be a standing tentative meet-up at a restaurant that local members could periodically attend as their schedules permitted. These types of events would be geared for smaller, localized groups and would fill in between the larger, regional or statewide events that I assist in organizing. The general concept is being discussed at Prescheduled Recurring club meet-ups This thread is intended to specifically discuss recurring meet-ups near Plantation or the Southeast Region of our club. Steve Webb (Chairman of the Southeast Region Events Committee) would like to kick this off by suggesting initial meet-ups in the Plantation area. As you may know the Plantation City Council approved a Supercharger location in the Fountains Shopping Mall. When it is operational meet-up locations near this Supercharger Station would facilitate attendance from members throughout the Southeast Region. Eventually we hope to add additional meet-up locations in the Southeast Region to make attending convenient to more members. If you are interested in pursuing this concept we need your feedback. Preferred frequency of meet-ups As mentioned the concept is to permit members the opportunity of meeting on a monthly basis. We don't expect you to attend monthly, but you would have the opportunity to attend each month as your schedule permits. Nevertheless, there was some concern expressed that monthly might be too frequent. So the question is, would you like to be offered the opportunity to meet monthly or quarterly? Please select which of the options listed below that you prefer, or you can rank the options in order of preference. OPTION 1: Lunch (12:00pm) at Duffy's Sports Bar & Grill (Plantation). We would have a standing schedule to meet for lunch on the second Saturday either every month, or second Saturday at the beginning of each quarter. OPTION 2: Happy hour from 4-7pm with option to have dinner at Bokampers (Plantation). We would have a standing schedule to meet from 4 to 7 pm on the second Friday of the month, or the second Friday at the beginning of each quarter. OPTION 3: Dinner 6:00 pm at Carrabass' Italian Grille (Plantation). We would have a standing schedule to meet for diner on the second Saturday either every month, or the second Saturday at the beginning of each quarter. OPTION 4: We would alternate among the options above. Based on the responses I receive, we plan to pursue one of these options starting next year. Again, we are not asking for a firm commitment to attend every one of these functions. We know that is not possible. If you have other ideas or questions please let us know. I have sent out a mass emailing to our Southeast Region membership soliciting their preferences. I would like to invite further discussion and suggestions here on TMC. If you are not a club member you are still welcome to join us at these events and I would welcome any comments that you have by posting here.

STEM Education and Closing the Skills Gap in the Federal Workforce
A recent study identified a disturbing trend in American higher education: None of the top 10 undergraduate computer-science programs in the United States — and only three of the top 50 — require students to take a single course on cybersecurity as a prerequisite for graduation.
The University of Alabama was the exception as the only one of more than 120 schools examined by the IT-security company CloudPassage that requires computer-science majors to take three or more cybersecurity courses.
"I wish I could say these results are shocking, but they're not," CloudPassage CEO Robert Thomas said of the study's findings. "With more than 200,000 open cybersecurity jobs in 2015 in the U.S. alone and the number of threat surfaces exponentially increasing, there's a growing skills gap between the bad actors and the good guys."
The study comes at a time when cybersecurity is — or should be — top-of-mind for businesses and government entities alike. At the federal government level in particular, where the threats from organized criminals, terrorists and hostile nation-states is especially potent, ensuring that federal employees possess the training and skills necessary to keep data safe and secure is imperative.
A 2015 Government Accountability Office report identified cybersecurity as one of six government-wide occupations facing a "mission-critical" skills gap that poses "a high risk to the nation." That skills gap led Office of Personnel Management acting Director Beth Cobert in April to announce a plan "to develop a government-wide strategy to address the root causes" and close the gap in both the short and long terms.
In the short term, continuing education for current employees is an important part of staying ahead of cybersecurity trends. According to a report in the Federal Times, the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education released a three-point plan in April to "drive future development of … the government's education efforts." The plan's goals include accelerating learning and skills development, nurturing a diverse learning community, and guiding career development and workforce planning.
The U.S. Navy is investing $26 million over the next three to five years in its own cybersecurity training program, according to FierceGovernmentIT. Expect more departments and agencies to invest in continuing-education programs in the coming months and years as well.
In addition to on-the-job training to address short-term needs, the long-term plan should focus on reaching tomorrow's cyber-warriors today, while they're still in school. We need to be finding new and creative ways to get students interested in cybersecurity at an early age, and to understand the kind of career opportunities available to them — in both the public and private sectors — if they study it.
For that reason, many in and out of government say cybersecurity should be a universal concentration option for computer science and information-technology programs at the collegiate level.
Moreover, with expertise in cybersecurity, graduates would find themselves in high demand and thus able to write their own employment ticket. (With many of them facing a mountain of student-loan debt upon graduation, that's got to provide a measure of reassurance for them — and their parents.)
Indeed, there's a growing consensus in business, industry, government and academic circles that there's no such thing as "too early" when it comes to exposing our young people to cybersecurity and educating them in that field.
"It's not good enough to tack cybersecurity on as an afterthough anymore," CloudPassage's Thomas noted. "This is especially true as more smart devices become Internet accessible and, therefore, potential avenues for threats."
By Paul Norton, director of government sales for ID Experts.

"Look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
Williams also warned O'Reilly against blaming all Muslims for "extremists," saying Christians shouldn't be blamed for Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.
NPR's position is ridiculous. Williams' statements were not in any way inappropriate.
Williams made it clear that he was talking about how he feels, not about what he thinks. All normal human beings have feelings that they do not act upon. Not acting on all of one's feelings is arguably what best distinguishes humans from other animals, or at least adults from young children. Most, if not all, people have different emotional reactions to people of different ages, genders and races. In fact, one of the most pernicious aspects of racism, and other inappropriate biases, such as homophobia, is that the victims tend to internalize society's dislike of them. Blacks and gays end up believing that they are less worthy than straights and Whites. That is why role models are so important.
But I digress. The point here is that Williams' comments were completely appropriate. He did not say that we should be suspicious of all Muslims. He candidly admitted how he feels, and made it clear that it would be inappropriate to act on such feelings. He was quite clear about that.
Ironically, however, Williams was back on The O'Reilly Factor the day after he was fired. giving what I find to be a very good reason why NPR should have fired him. Williams told O'Reilly that NPR does not want him on the show. If so, then I agree wholeheartedly with NPR. Of course, as a matter of fair dealing, NPR should have warned Williams and should have told the public the real reason Williams was fired. But in the end, I am not sad to see Williams go.
The O'Reilly Factor does not contribute to meaningful discussion of issues. Quite to the contrary, O'Reilly cuts people off and is prone to yelling "shut up" at his guests. He profits and advances his agenda by removing all nuance, and polarizing every discussion. Any self-respecting journalist should know that. Williams certainly knows that, yet he chose to appear on the program anyway, thus making a fool of himself and lending credibility to O'Reilly and his circus.
Even more ironically, what happened to Williams is completely predictable given O'Reilly's behavior. O'Reilly works on sound bites. And, he intentionally makes ambiguous statements that can be taken as offensive. For example, he recently stated that "Muslims" attacked us on September 11. That is literally true, but it suggests that all Muslims or some committee representing all Muslims was behind the terrorist attacks. O'Reilly intends to suggest that, but when confronted directly, he disowns it. This is just like George W. Bush suggesting that Saddam Hussein was behind the attacks. He wanted to be misunderstood. And he was misunderstood by a majority of Americans.
Williams did not want to be misunderstood, but he should have known better. He opened himself up to being taken advantage of by O'Reilly, and he was. Perhaps he got what he deserved in that regard. In the end, both Williams and NPR embarrassed themselves. I'm not sad to see Williams go, but I am very disappointed -- yet again -- with NPR.

Good wishes to every one, not exactly to all people but you might take my meaning. Hope the bad become good and the good give some of their goodness to others.

Anyway just a big thank you to the people who read my blog, family, and friends, co workers, climbing buddies and even people I cross swords with. Be good, and if you are a crooked politician resign please!

The story of Baqa (or how to make a fence into a wall).
A few years ago, when the fence construction was just beginning, it began in the place where it was most needed. The garbage dump of the Arab-Israeli town of Umm al-Fahm. Unbelievably, before the fence was constructed, anyone, and I do mean anyone could cross over from Jenin's town center directly into Israel within less than an hour.
The fence then cut to the west, separating settlements like Shaqed and Rehan from the West Bank, and then returned to the Green Line, separating Kibbutzim Metzer and Magal from the neighbouring Arab villages of Qafin and Zeta. That entire section of the fence was very hotly contested by no else than the Israelis living in the Kibbutzim. They had a great relationship with the Arab villages surrounding them, specificly the Palestinian village of Qafin, many of whose residents worked in the Kibbutz. The Kibbutz member, most of whom are very very leftist, many supporters of "Peace Now" and "Gush Shalom" protested against the fence and tried to help their friends from Qaffin to fight the fence. And then something happened.
KIBBUTZ METZER, Israel, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Close to midnight the militant kicked open the door to Revital Ohayon´s small apartment in Kibbutz Metzer, 29 miles northeast of Tel Aviv. He crossed the living room and entered the children´s room. Ohayon, 34, grabbed her little children and tried to shield them. They were screaming. Their voices traveled miles over an open phone line to her ex-husband, Avi, 34, who had just been talking to her. The gunman pulled the trigger, killing Ohayon and her two sons, 5- year-old Matan and 4-year-old Noam. Some the bullets punctured the gray wood paneling beside a bloodstained bed.
Every objection to the fence was forgotten and the fence was built near Qaffin, on the Green line. Then, southwards, the fence planners had a real dilemma. The Arab Israeli town of Baqa al-gharbiyyah lay west of the Green line, it's citizens were IsraelArabs, loyal to the country. The Palestinian town of Baqa al-sharqiyyeh lay east of the Green line, it's citizens were Palestinians. Since 1967 the two villages were practicly joined together, with a crowded market which Israelis frequented in between. The choice made was not to separate the two villages (who have family ties, and are completely interconnected to one another), but rather move the fence to the east, thus making Baqa el-Sharqiyyeh and Baqa el-Gharbiyyeh united, on the Israeli side of the fence.
The blue line marks the original route of the fence,
the red line marks the current route.
source: Israeli Ministry of Defense.
Workers dismantle the fence east of Baqa, 2003.
Houses were demolished, the entire Israeli-Palestinian market was destroyed, and a large wall was erected to separate the Israeli Baqa from the Palestinian Baqa. Why a wall? Because in a crowded town that's the only means out there to prevent people from crossing over, delivering weapons and suicide bombers.
Even now, although the fence is directly on the Green line, the Palestinians still protest. There are protests against the fence all the time in that region, even though it takes no Palestinian land whatsoever.
And this is the story of how a society destroys itself. First they alienated their allies from Metzer, thus sped up the construction of the fence, and then, by demanding the fence to be on the Green line, they separated families from each other, caused house demolitions, and made a fence into a wall.

The Internet is now being swiped by a new posing virus, mamming, that has been created with a purpose. This is a movement in social media aimed to raise awareness about breast cancer and motivate women across the globe to see a doctor until it's not too late. The activation engages women, men, kids and even animals who pose with their busts put on different objects, ranging from tables to street signs.
The effort was launched by two activists from New York, Michelle Jaret and Michelle Lamont (a breath cancer survivor), who wanted to encourage ladies to be brave and get their breasts tested to detect any problems as early as possible. The site of the initiative says that "Mammograms are awkward. But it can save her life. Because when breast cancer is caught early, over 90% of women beat it."
The movement, launched as a private initiative, taps into the USA's Breast Awareness Month market in October.
Anyone can illustrate their solidarity by doing a mam—pushing their busts against random surfaces (and doing it as creatively as possible). They are invited to snap a picture of this pose, upload it using the #mamming hashtag to one of the social media sites—the photo will appear on the live digital wall on the site. To spread the word about the initiative, the creative team also launched a viral spot that explains mamming (view it below).
"We would love to see mamming become as big on the web as planking and owling," commented Michelle Lamont to Dailymail.co.uk. "Our goal was to create something fun that would break through the clutter of breast cancer awareness month. We've seen breast cancer awareness campaigns that use humour and sexuality, and ones that don't mention mammograms or breasts at all. We hope that mamming reminds women to get screened, and maybe makes them feel a little less awkward about putting their boobs in the mammogram machine."

Linda McCartney
First wife of Sir Paul McCartney and creator of the self named vegetarian food range, Linda McCartney was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995; her condition soon grew worse as it spread to her liver. She died in 1998 at the young age of 56.
Breast cancer, along with prostate, lung and bowel cancers, account for over half (54%) of all new cancer cases. Cancer Research UK also state that a staggering 1 in 3 people are directly affected by cancer, equalling over 5,000 new cases a week.
Unfortunately the statistics make clear that cancer is a very real concern for everyone – regardless of fame, fortune or even age. That's why Private Health Insurance is essential, not only to take care of your medical bills, but to give you and your family peace of mind and reassurance knowing that, should you need it, you'll have access that the NHS can't always provide to the very latest treatments, facilities and leading specialists.
BestMedicalCover takes the complication out of choosing the right policy for you and eliminates the unnecessary stress. As health insurance experts, we constantly analyse the market of leading health insurance providers to find the best deal for your needs.

Senior councillors have backed plans to increase council tax by almost two per cent across the Harrogate district from April.
It will be the first time Harrogate Borough Council has put up its element of the tax since 2009 following a six-year freeze.
The 1.99 per cent rise has been recommended in draft budget proposals for 2016/17, which were presented to cabinet members at Harrogate Borough Council yesterday.
If the increase is approved by full council next month, owners of a Band D property will pay an extra £4.37 a year, or 8p per week.
Coun Richard Cooper said: "Unfortunately we can't hold the process forever. The price of things goes up over the years and while we have been able to hold the position for a long time by making changes and savings in a number of ways, we have got a small rise.
"At the same time we are going to expand services, particularly the recycling service."
Coun Cooper said it was hoped residents would able to recycle mixed plastics and corrugates cardboard in the next few weeks.
He said: "The rise in council tax will pay for new services like this without having to cut any frontline services. It also goes towards our parks and gardens, gyms and swimming pools, which don't make money but people enjoy using them. We also provide facilities like the conference centre, which keeps our restaurants, pubs, hotels and guesthouses going.
"For an extra 8p a week, we are providing quite something for the district."
The council's central government grant has reduced by £5.4 million - 54 per cent - over the last five years and further reductions are expected in the future.
It is expected that the authority will have will have to make around £1.65 million in savings to balance the budget in 2016/2017.

Introducing the Return of YouTube Hell
For many fans of the now defunct ScrewAttack Gaming Convention, YouTube Hell was a staple. It was that wacky, fucked in the head event where everyone got together and watched the absolute worst of YouTube, had some laughs, had some drinks, and had a lot of fun.
I didn't want to see that tradition die, so I reached out to Josh "Brakywaki" Stewart, one of the guys who had been running it for years, to keep YouTube Hell going. Josh has agreed to be on board, so Hell returns!
We're hoping to keep YouTube Hell as authentic as possible. How? I'm not directing the video first and foremost. The video choices, placements, and all that fun will be done by Josh himself. He knows what you guys want to see, and he'll be the guy making those calls.
Now for the good part: submissions. Josh/Tanner/Mark's old rule is still in place: repeat submissions must be kept to a minimum. If you send in a clip that was featured in the past, don't be surprised if it doesn't get featured.
Send your clips to: email@example.com. We will be accepting submissions until the end of July.
The video will be streamed on a streaming platformed to be determined at this time. The goal is to get this thing up and ready before the end of August. There will also be a Discord chat that viewers can join to get in on the experience of everyone being in the same room just like the SGC days. Yeah, there will be rules to the room, but here's hoping everything goes smooth and nobody has to get ushered out.
Happy YouTube Hell season, folks! Send those submissions in, and let's make this awesome.

Plans for 2009January 2, 2009 at 6:50 pm | Posted in Personal, Site | 20 Comments
A post that perhaps should have been done yesterday, but if I have one resolution this year it's going to be to stop stressing myself out over just about everything. All I really seem to accomplish when I go into rush mode is making myself sicker. Also, this post is kind of unnecessary, but I feel it's a good way of trying to say that I'm not lazy (but I am)
All of my plans basically amount to things that I've been working on for a while, but think will finally get off the ground in 2009. I don't really do resolutions. The only difference between 2008 and 2009 for me is one digit in the date. That said, I do hope to accomplish a lot more this year. Some of those goals relate to anime and such so here's a post to let out some of the stuff that gathers in my head. Some of it's even related to blogging!
Happy Merry Christmas!December 25, 2008 at 1:00 am | Posted in Personal | 15 Comments
Shugo Chara image because if it weren't for that show, my brain wouldn't be programmed to wish everyone a "Happy Merry Christmas" instead of just one or the other.
As you all probably know, I'm pretty busy this holiday season and my half-hiatus is still on for all regular blogging (except for Shugo Chara's next episode because OMG preview). But it doesn't take much to do a little post to wish everyone a Happy Holiday. No matter what holiday you celebrate, hopefully you're at least a little infected with seasonal cheer. If you are not…have some egg nog and release your inhibitions to force yourself into cheer! (meaning, yeah get drunk…if you can legally…)
Half-HiatusNovember 11, 2008 at 5:10 am | Posted in Personal, Site | 14 Comments
For the time being I'm on a kinda-sorta hiatus. I'm still going to try to post as much as I can, but to be honest…eh. I don't know what I'm capable of.
I mentioned this really briefly on twitter, but it's become more of a problem than I originally thought, so it need to be mentioned again.
Election HiatusNovember 4, 2008 at 6:00 am | Posted in Personal | 31 Comments
To remind you what could happen if you don't vote!
Well, it's finally November 4th, which even those of you not from America probably recognize as an important day. It's time for the election for a new president after eight years of…well, we all know what.
I refrain at all time possible from talking about my personal political beliefs, so I doubt anyone even really knew that I was following it that much. I've mentioned it a few times in personal discussions, but even then I keep my personal opinions to myself (you know, outside of "politicians are pretty much all asshats").
So today, I'm afraid I will not be able to catch up on the blogging I've missed at all. I am going to be stuck to my TV all day long after I vote (and get my free Starbucks coffee afterward). When I am on the computer…well let's just say that anime won't be at the front of my mind.
Fuyu on TwitterSeptember 21, 2008 at 8:45 pm | Posted in Personal, Site | 11 Comments
Tags: interweb
So in my eternal quest to make sure I never do anything useful when I'm on my computer, I finally got a Twitter account.
It'll just stay about stuff I do while I'm at home or have access to a computer. So it'll often be related to anime, the interweb, some randomness, and often my blog. Thus I feel it's worth a mention on my blog (and an inclusion in my sidebar).
Where Has Fuyu Been?September 9, 2008 at 12:23 am | Posted in Personal | 13 Comments
I bet people have been wondering that. I've only been kind of slow for a little over a week, but on the internet a week seems like AGES. Especially when a lot of my readers come to check Simplicity everyday instead of using the magic of RSS and Blog Readers.
I somehow feel like I owe an explanation. So even though I like to keep personal posts out of my anime blog, here goes.
Happy Birthday to…Me.August 4, 2008 at 8:00 am | Posted in Personal | 19 Comments
I've been kind of going on (or ranting) about my birthday coming up. Ranting, because two of my birthday presents are actually just my parents paying for preorders. Usually all the good stuff comes out right before my birthday, now everything comes out right after. Everything. It's not fair.
But this is my birthday, so I should just be happy with what I do get and the milestone alone is enough really. Today I'm officially eighteen years old. I'm legally an adult. Yay~! If only I acted my age.
And to have it stated now…I'm out of town at the moment (wrote this ahead of time), so I can't do my SA post on time.

I got neglectful in my studies again. Or I've really just been as neglectful as ever. I had to focus on a more important study first: Driving.
I turn eighteen in just a few days (August 4), but I just got my license on Wednesday. Familiar readers already know the reason why probably. It took so long for the same reason I missed out on doing everything else for a year.'
But nonetheless, I have made progress again.

It's already been so long since I've updated on my progress learning Japanese…I only have one post. It's from June. It's been almost a month.
Well, I have a good reason, I haven't made much progress. So there.
Agh! Finally!July 14, 2008 at 7:54 pm | Posted in Personal | 7 Comments
I am…so tired. It's only 7:00 PM here too. But now that everything is all settled I need to explain things. Then it's off to bed (or relaxing anyway). Special A's review will have to wait until tomorrow.
You may or may not have noticed my general "ugh-ness" throughout the past ten or so days. I doubt you did at the time, but you probably noticed the general lateness of my posts, more grammar mistakes and typos than usual, less substantial stuff in my posts, and all around crappiness.
Well, I just had the week from hell. (After here follows a rant poorly disguised as an apology)

ROGER BATZEL was the strong, silent type, just what the doctor ordered back in the early 1970s when Livermore's biomedical research program began to grow substantially. According to Mort Mendelsohn, associate director for Biomedical and Environmental Research from 1972 to 1992, "Roger was always there with whatever resources I needed to advance the program. He didn't talk a lot, but he was supportive in every way possible. And that's what mattered.
"During Roger's tenure as director of the Lab," continued Mendelsohn, "biomedical research expanded hugely. By the time Roger retired, we had close to 200 regular employees, not including postdocs, visitors, and guests. At the same time, the annual budget for biomedical and environmental research increased from $3.2 million to almost $30 million. The range of our research broadened and diversified just as much while he was in charge."
Roger Batzel brought Mort Mendelsohn to Livermore from the University of Pennsylvania. Mendelsohn had visited Livermore around 1970 as part of a site visit team. He met Batzel at that time as well as John Gofman, who had founded the biomedical and environmental programs at Livermore in 1963. Both Gofman and Mendelsohn were M.D.-Ph.D.s doing research on carcinogenesis and on radiation and its effects on chromosomes. In 1971, even before Batzel became director of the Laboratory, Gofman decided to leave Livermore. He recommended Mendelsohn to Batzel as his replacement.
Mendelsohn chuckles remembering his early meetings with Batzel. "Roger was a weaponeer, a Westerner, always wearing cowboy boots. I was very much the Eastern academic with long hair and a strong antiwar position. But Roger was very convincing when he talked about what a great place Livermore was to work and what opportunities were available. He was a super-salesman, which might sound negative. But everything he said was absolutely true. I started at Livermore in September 1972. Here I am, almost 30 years later, semi-retired, with almost no hair left, but still at Livermore. I've never regretted a moment of it."
An Emphasis on Biodosimetry
Biological research at the national laboratories began in 1954 with studies to determine the biological consequences of fallout radiation from the Bravo test at Bikini Atoll, in which Marshall Islanders and Japanese fishermen were seriously irradiated. As the need grew for a bioenvironmental presence at the Nevada and Pacific test sites and in Project Plowshare for peaceful applications of nuclear weapons, the Atomic Energy Commission mounted a small program at Livermore in 1963. John Gofman, a professor of medical physics at the Donner Laboratory of the University of California at Berkeley, was recruited to set up the new program. His initial charge was to study the dose to humans of radioisotopes in the environment.
Not long after Mendelsohn took over the program, Project Plowshare was discontinued, in part because of the potential health concerns associated with peaceful use of nuclear explosives. Researchers at Livermore continued to study the dose to humans. But the program became oriented toward finding biological measurements that indicated the dose to which subjects had been exposed. Prominent in this effort was developing a set of biological dosimeters for humans and, with it, the study of human radiation biology and toxicology.
With Batzel's encouragement, Mendelsohn became involved in the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF) in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, the primary organization that keeps tabs on the health of A-bomb survivors. Livermore invented the glycophorin-A assay and transferred it to RERF. The assay detects residual mutations in human red blood cells from exposure to radiation from nuclear bomb explosions decades earlier. No other mutation assay, before or since, has been able to reach back so far in time. Livermore and RERF researchers found that, on average, the mutant cells increase linearly with radiation dose.
A second Livermore discovery in the mid-1980s greatly reinforced the use of chromosome aberrations as a dosimeter. It grew out of the human chromosome library project that Livermore and Los Alamos worked on jointly. With gene libraries for each human chromosome, researchers could paint chromosomes specifically. An otherwise obscure translocation (sharing of parts) between a painted and unpainted chromosome (or two chromosomes painted different colors) shows up as a two-color chromosome and can be viewed easily. Translocations could be identified 10 to 100 times faster than before, with greatly increased reliability. These chromosome aberrations also respond to radiation exposure and persist long enough to provide good dosimetry on A-bomb survivors.
And what of people who may be subjected to extremely small doses of radiation and have habits or participate in a lifestyle that may affect DNA? For example, nurses and x-ray technicians in hospitals or workers at nuclear reactors may receive regular miniscule doses. These people may also smoke or eat large quantities of red meat, both of which may affect DNA. In a 1992 interview, Mendelsohn expressed concern about whether biodosimetry methods would be able to sort out the results of such mixed exposures. This difficulty remains a problem. However, methods to attribute effects from chemical exposures are rapidly improving. With the use of accelerator mass spectrometry for biomedical research, scientists can now detect minute changes in human DNA (see S&TR, July/August 2000, Biomedical Research Benefits from Counting Small).
Beginnings of Biology
The first successful molecular biotechnology project at Livermore took place in the late 1970s with the production of made-to-order monoclonal antibodies. (Antibodies are nature's defender molecules, and monoclonal means that they are produced by a single clone.) A scientist can select for and form single clones or copies of immunologically active cells. Such cells make only one antibody, and when isolated, they can be produced infinitely with complete purity and remarkable specificity. Two of Livermore's products are the monoclonal antibodies that recognize the subtle distinction between normal and mutant red blood cells in the glycophorin-A assay. Other Livermore monoclonal antibodies can indicate whether a blood stain is human or whether a child has sickle cell anemia. Still others are useful for making the individual proteins involved in the complex process of repairing DNA.
Perhaps the most important antibodies to come out of this work were those to bromodeoxyuridine in DNA, a substance that can substitute for a normal building block of DNA. A small amount injected into a subject or in a culture will be synthesized into the DNA of any cells that are dividing. When this monoclonal antibody is coupled to a fluorescent marker, all the cells in division become fluorescent and can be seen under a microscope or detected and measured in a flow cytometer. A Livermore team used this technique and Livermore's work in cell kinetics to develop methods that revolutionized the study of cell growth and that today are standard procedure worldwide. Cancer patients are routinely evaluated by these methods to see how fast their cancer cells are dividing.
Birth of the Human Genome project
Says Mendelsohn, "My arrival at Livermore with new people, new equipment, and a new orientation coincided with a Laboratory-wide cutback. That was a difficult time at Livermore. But Roger was committed to the whole process and made my transition happen as smoothly as possible."
One of the new people was Marv Van Dilla, a leading expert in flow cytometry, a technique for measuring and separating cells. From that beginning grew Livermore's expertise in flow cytometry, which exploited the Laboratory's knowledge of lasers and engineering as well as the biological sciences. Two years later, in 1974, Livermore scientists for the first time performed an experiment that successfully measured and sorted Chinese hamster chromosomes using flow cytometry. Not until 1979 did scientists learn how to do the same with human chromosomes, which are much smaller and more varied. By 1984, says Mendelsohn, "We had increased our proficiency and confidence in the method such that we could separately identify and study each of the human chromosomes. This ability, combined with worldwide developments in recombinant DNA technology, led to the Livermore-Los Alamos project to build human chromosome-specific DNA libraries."
At about the same time, in 1984, Mendelsohn organized a meeting of molecular geneticists from around the world to brainstorm the potential for DNA-oriented methods to detect human heritable mutation in A-bomb survivors. It became clear to those at the meeting that despite the enormous scale of this effort, analysis of the entire human genome was feasible. In 1986, the Department of Energy was the first federal agency to launch a major initiative to completely decipher the human genetic code. A year later, Livermore researchers began to study all of chromosome 19, which they had earlier learned was the home of several genes important for DNA repair. In 1990, two years after Batzel retired, the Department of Energy joined forces with the National Institutes of Health to kick off the Human Genome Project, the largest biological research project ever.
Free Rein for Creativity
It is easy to wonder where Livermore's biomedical research program would be today if Roger Batzel had not been director during those formative years. Mendelsohn says, "When Roger chose people, he then gave them their own reins. Roger was a textbook example of a primary principle of Tom Peters: to never let management interfere with creativity."

April is National Autism Awareness Month. According to the Autism Society, autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability. In fact, one child in every 68 will be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
One year ago, the Iowa City Public Library started offering Sensory Storytimes, designed for children with autism spectrum disorders, sensory integration issues, or other developmental disabilities. Sensory Storytimes combine stories and songs with tactile activities and props to create sensory-rich experiences. Other details help create a safe and welcoming environment for kids and their families:
- A visual schedule to help us transition from one activity to the next
- A room free of distractions
- The expectation that kids will talk and move during the program
- Sharing the experience with other families that understand
Through the summer, Sensory Storytimes will be held on the first Saturday of each month at 1:30 pm, lasting about 30 minutes. Our next one is on May 3. To prepare for your visit, take a look at our "Child's Introduction to the Library" social story, available at www.icpl.org/kids.
In planning for the next school year, the Library is looking for your input. If you have a child who would benefit from Sensory Storytimes, please let us know what times would work best for you and how else we can meet your needs at the Library. You can email your suggestions to me at firstname.lastname@example.com

I did my first French today! I tried using the guide stickers but it messed up the polish and I was too impatient to wait until it was completely dry, so I free-handed it.
It ended up looking a lot more "natural" than I had intended, partially because both polishes were more sheer than I had anticipated, partially because the "white" is actually a lot more cream than I thought.
I used Essie Petal Pink and Diamond Cosmetics Like Satin, two coats of each. Like Satin is only $1!
Here's my haul from the past couple of weeks!
Orly Plastix minis:
Essie Spring 2010 collection:
I put in a huge order with Diamond Cosmetics and also bought a Dior polish on ebay, hopefully they get here soon!

|Police and barricades outside the Diet.
On December 14 last year, the Japanese PM called an early election. The reason for calling the election was that he wanted a mandate to delay the consumption tax increase and to make economic reform. In reality, the beleaguered economy has been sidelined in favour of unpopular restarting of nuclear power and the passage of the War Laws.
There have been protests throughout the year, first small and getting bigger. The 30th August saw an estimated 120,000 protesting in front of the Diet. That might seem like a modest number, but in reality there has been a stigma on political protest and making overt disagreement. Typically people look away. Politics is taboo in the education system. There is no source based history which presents different opinions of the same issue. You might find students rattling tins to raise money for UNICEF, but you'd never find a branch of Amnesty International in a state school.
Last night the government passed the laws at 3 am. The laws aim to override article 9 of the constitution which made Japan a country that was forbidden from waging war. Now Japan will be able to fight in the wars of its allies (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria wherever suits the US, on whom Japan depends for "protection"). The overwhelming majority of Japanese people do not want the changes to occur, hence the protests. The crowds at the protests are diverse, at least by Japanese standards of diversity, but have a lot more young people than the nuclear protests. There have been two basic themes of the protests: Peace and democracy.
The government has legislated the ability to go to war in wars that are not directly affecting Japan. There has been very little explanation of the scope of the laws. Old people fear conscription. There was talk a while back of moving the start of the university year to September (from April) to align internationally (well at least with the northern hemisphere), and use the five month gap between school and university as national service. I haven't heard that recently. Personally, I am sceptical that there would be conscription, but that gap does give rise for concern. There is a general fear of militarization, especially but not only among the traditional left. It's ironic that the communists, who should in theory be the party of revolution, are actually the pacifists... In addition, Japan has recently changed laws to sell weapons. Deals between Mistsubishi Electric and Turkey to sell tanks have already been done. Concerns about militarization have been compounded by a troubling Secrets Act which has created almost unlimited possibilities for what can be declared a secret and is not overseen by an indpendent third party. These changes are reminiscent of the 1930s and there is a uneasiness that the government is moving towards militarism.
The second concern is that the process has been unconstitutional. There is a process for changing the constitution and it hasn't been followed. Even the government's own constitutionaladviser said the laws are unconstitutional. It's so audacious. And has come after the Deputy PM lauded the Nazis, and said Japan could learn from the way they were able to change their constitution before the people were aware.
Was very disappointed that ABC Australia missed the second point in their reporting today.
So that's what was going on at the National Diet.

Mutiny on the High Seas!
The Age of Revolution
Between the 1760s and late 1840s, revolutionary ferment broke out across much of the Atlantic world: erupting in multiple places, spreading inward and outward, moving multi-directionally across Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean, waves of insurrectionary violence toppled thrones and shattered empires. American independence broke in two Britain's Atlantic dominions, pushed France further towards bankruptcy, and inspired her revolutionaries to overthrow the monarchy and constitute a new republic. Its founding ideals of freedom, equality, and fraternity raced across the Atlantic and into the hands of battle-hardened West Indian slave insurgents, who promptly turned them into fearsome anti-imperialist weaponry. In 1804 the new citizens of Haiti declared victory over France, drowning greedy dreams of a second French-American empire in a tidal wave of blood. Napoleon's attempt to build a European empire instead threw Spain into disarray, and South America into cataclysmic civil war. By the early 1820s, 300 years after its creation, the Spanish American empire shattered into half a dozen new republics.
The bicentenaries of American independence in 1976, the French Revolution in 1989, Haitian independence in 2004, and the abolition of the British slave trade in 2008 have all stimulated renewed engagement with the events of this momentous era. Historians working from a variety of different perspectives have explored the intellectual history of the period and probed its deep chronological roots; they have read against the grain of surviving documents great and small, and uncovered a world of proletarian radicalism central to the powerful transformations of the day; inspired by the growth of world historical research, they have traced global relationships and discovered connections that reached far beyond the well-known sites of revolution in the coastal North Atlantic world. This flurry of new work has significantly broadened our collective research agenda, which now poses questions about causality and coincidence, scope and scale, collective and individual agency, the nature and dynamics of transnational, intercontinental revolution that previous generations did not even know how to ask.
Ships Acting as an Incubator for Maritime Radicalism
The latest special issue from the International Review of Social History (IRSH) Mutiny and Maritime Radicalism in the Age of Revolution: A Global Survey, guest edited by Clare Anderson, Niklas Frykman, Lex Heerma van Voss and Marcus Rediker, is a collection of essays that joins the debate by focusing on the complex, multi-layered networks that bound together revolutionary actors in far-distant places. In particular, the authors uniquely draw attention to the material site of connection itself: the ships that sailed the world's oceans and connected revolutionaries in Europe with those in the Americas, those in the Americas with fellow radicals in Africa, and those in Africa with rebels in Asia, Oceana, and beyond. But the ship was not just the indispensable vector along which land-based revolutionary experience was dispersed around the world, it was also an incubator of what the editors have chosen to call maritime radicalism, a variant of revolutionary politics particular to the peoples who make their living on, of, or near the sea. The practices that defined maritime radicalism were many – including mass desertion, port city rioting, naval mutiny, slave ship revolt, convict piracy – but their central, unifying tendency lay in the contestation of the violently enforced shipboard hierarchies that characterized European imperial dominance over all the world's major shipping lanes in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Drawing on sources in nearly a dozen languages, and archives located in nearly as many countries on multiple continents, the volume uses a vast trove of evidence to suggest a new, sea-centered geography of the revolutionary era, a dense and expansive network, reaching across the globe, as well as forward and backward in time, a network of seafarers that brought together, amalgamated, and mutually stimulated struggles in vastly different and distant regions. It is notable that this network almost perfectly coincided with the rapidly unfurling tentacles of European imperialism into the Indian Ocean region, to south-east Asia, and to Australia and the south Pacific. The adoption of a maritime perspective thus suggests the insufficiency of conceiving of this period as simply one of Atlantic revolution.
Free online access to 4 papers from this special issue has been granted until 30th April 2014.

Conservative's criticism of John Lewis backfires after CNN host points out Trump's birther lies
CNN conservative political commentator and radio host Ben Ferguson criticized Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) on Saturday afternoon for describing Donald Trump as an "illegitimate president."
Ferguson said it was "unprecedented" for Lewis to say "I don't believe Donald Trump is a legitimate president."
"I can't imagine the fallout, the backfire that you would have if a Republican ever implied that about Barack Obama or Bill Clinton or JFK or anyone else for that matter," he continued.
"Ben, Ben, Ben, that's exactly what many Republicans did," CNN host Poppy Harlow interrupted, "including the president-elect for years questioning the legitimacy of the first black president."
Trump was a vocal supporter of the so-called "birther" conspiracy theorists, who believed without evidence that President Barack Obama used a forged birth certificate and was not really a citizen of the United States.
"The president-elect did that to the sitting president for years," Harlow noted.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- A researcher in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences recently won second place in this year's competition for the Wood Award, sponsored by the Forest Products Society.
Brad Gething, a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Forest Resources wood products program, was honored for his study, "The Computational Modeling of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Flow in Solid Wood Material." It was his doctoral dissertation, which he defended last fall in the interdisciplinary Materials Science and Engineering program.
"It is gratifying to know that others see merit in the research after the hard work that I put into it," Gething said. "I'm very grateful for the support from the college and the guidance I've received from my committee and my advisor, who encouraged me to submit my research for the competition."
The Wood Award recognizes and honors outstanding graduate student research conducted in the field of wood and wood products. Wood Award papers describe original research on a wide range of topics, including harvesting and forest operations, development and manufacture of products, fundamental properties, end-use applications, and distribution and marketing.
Judges rate the papers on the basis of the explanation of the science, quality of work, innovation, skill of treatment, conclusions and applicability. The winners of the Wood Award give a Technical Forum (poster) presentation at the 2012 International Forest Products Society Convention, which will be held June 3-5 in Washington, D.C.
Gething's research with supercritical carbon dioxide -- also known as SC CO2 -- was especially notable because it helps scientists to better understand, through computational predictive modeling, the critical development of liquid flow behavior relative to carbon dioxide gas flow within wood material.
Supercritical carbon dioxide is a unique type of phase-change fluid that has special diffuse capabilities with unique liquid properties, including high solvency, Gething explained. It can act as an important replacement for conventional, petroleum-based organic solvents and can promote more effective preservative treatment of wood.
With its gaseous to quasi-liquid behavior, SC CO2 can improve substantially the wood- treatment process because it is much more environmentally neutral compared with volatile organics found in the solvent commonly used as a chemical-treatment delivery mechanism.
"I'm optimistic about the development of the technology because it provides an opportunity for the wood-treatment industry to impregnate wood species that otherwise are difficult to treat, but in a way that greatly reduces the negative impacts on our environment," he said. "I believe technologies such as these are an integral part of our progress as a society."
Gething's adviser was John Janowiak, professor of wood product engineering. His doctoral committee included Nicole Brown, associate professor of wood chemistry; Virendra Puri, distinguished professor of agricultural and biological engineering; and Turgay Ertekin, professor of energy and mineral engineering; all at Penn State; and Jeffrey Morrell, distinguished professor of wood science and engineering at Oregon State University.

Postgraduate research
The structure of a PhD at the School of Biological Sciences
It is anticipated that a PhD at Reading should be 3 years full-time study, although it is possible to submit up to 4 years from the beginning of the programme. To help you get there, you have your supervisor and your supervisory committee and the following intermediate milestones:
- 6 months: a literature review and report on any pilot experiments
- 12-16 months: an upgrading report and viva, to confirm PhD registration
- 24 months: a second year presentation and review
- 30 months: thesis plan
Initially all students are registered for a PhD. After 12-16 months students submit a progress report and, on the basis of this, the supervisory committee either issue a Confirmation of Registration for a PhD (between 3 and 4 years after starting) or recommend switching to an MPhil (between 2 and 3 years after starting). In practice, it is rare for students not to have their registration for PhD confirmed, occasionally after submitting a revised report.
Training for our PhD students
PhD training has two components. First, the specialist knowledge and skills involved in your personal research project. Second, the transferable skills that you will need to function at a high level in any organisation that employs you.
Specialist training will be worked out with your supervisor and supervisory committee. It may be appropriate to work in other labs for a time to acquire specific skills. You should reflect on your progress from time to time to ensure you acquire the technical knowledge employers will need - for example, ensure you understand the principles of any machine you use and learn to use it yourself from the staff who manage it.
Transferable skills training should take place throughout your time here. There are components organised by the School, and also a programme organised by the Faculties of Science and Life Sciences. You should maintain a record of your training and development in the log-book provided when you start, and periodically reflect on areas you need to develop. It is good practice to maintain a Personal Development Plan.
Working Away
Sometimes it is appropriate to do part or much of a research project away from Reading. The two common cases in the School of Biological Sciences are:
- To work in a UK research institute
- To do field work in a "split" programme
An example of a successful "split" programme is the study of bird populations.
In these cases, the university charges half the normal applicable fee for the time a student is working away. However, the School needs to make a charge to cover travel and subsistence if the supervisor comes to visit a student during the time they are working away from Reading - the expectation of the University is that the student will visit the supervisor instead, but this is often inappropriate for a biological project. The minimum period spent at Reading in a split programme is six months at the beginning and six months at the end, but a good integrated programme will usually involve 1-2 years at Reading. A local partner institution and supervisor have to be appointed at the location of the fieldwork.

|This article is about the TV show character. You may be looking for his Social Game counterpart, the other Social Game character, the voice actor or the actor.
- "You don't know anything about us. You don't know what we had to go through out there, the things we've had to do. I bet you've had to do some of those things yourself. Am I right? 'Cause ain't nobody's hands clean in what's left of this world. We're all the same..."
- —Dave to Rick Grimes.[src]
Dave is an antagonist and survivor of the outbreak in AMC's The Walking Dead. Dave has been traveling around for an unspecified amount of time since the outbreak began in a group with Tony, Randall, Sean, Nate, Jane, and around 30 other survivors. He serves as the primary antagonist of the episode "Nebraska".
Although he is only seen briefly, Dave is shown to be a sly, manipulative, and greedy person. Although he initially appeared to be friendly and welcoming towards fellow survivors Rick Grimes, Glenn Rhee, and Hershel Greene, this was later shown to be all a ruse in order to obtain information about the location of Hershel's farm, showing that Dave is also a smooth talker who seems to be highly intelligent. He also seems to have a dark sense of humor as he seemed proud of obtaining his weapon from a dead police officer. Before his demise, Dave attempted to shoot Rick after Rick refused to allow him and his group onto the farm, showing that he also is most likely a murderer, having no qualms in taking someone's life.
Location Unknown
Nothing is known about Dave before or as the outbreak began, except for the fact that he may have been from Philadelphia. He did not attend college.
Season 2
He and Tony arrived at "The Carriage Bar" that Hershel Greene, Rick Grimes, and Glenn Rhee had occupied, and commented on the fact that they were both still alive. Dave, the "people person" of the two, was seemingly thrilled to discover other survivors. However, Hershel and Rick instantly found the men untrustworthy when they mentioned the farm's existence when neither had mentioned it before, as well as Rick's natural instinct upon learning Dave's humor in stealing his pistol from a dead officer. An overzealous Glenn acknowledged the farm's existence until Rick stepped in and said that Dave and Tony would not be coming with them.
Dave once again attempted to earn the survivors' trust before the shoot-out, casually leaping over the bar and placing his 9mm SIG-Sauer P228 pistol on top of the counter while looking for better liquor. Upon withdrawing a bottle of whiskey, Rick rebuffed his inquiry of the farm once again before Tony gave away what was obviously an ambush. As Dave went for his P228, Rick whipped out his .357 Colt Python revolver and shot him in the head, killing him instantly before doing the same to Tony.
Dave's corpse can be seen as Glenn takes the gun from his body before leaving the bar.
- Killed By
Dave is shot in the head by Rick after he attempts to kill him.
Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Dave has killed:
- Unnamed police officer (Alive or Zombified, Assumed)
- Numerous counts of zombies and possibly unnamed people
Dave and Tony are friends, they often insult each other jokingly and are not insulted by each other's remarks. After Rick shot Dave, Tony quickly goes to grab his shotgun to shoot Rick, showing they were at least loyal to each other.
Rick Grimes
- "I dunno. I hear Nebraska's nice."
- —Rick to Dave before killing him
When Dave and Tony met Rick, Glenn, and Hershel, the five had a casual conversation. Rick denied any attempts that Dave made to get information about the Greene family farm. While behind the bar, Dave reached for his gun, prompting Rick to shoot him before he shoots the officer. This marked the first time a human was killed by Rick Grimes.
TV Series
Season 2
- "Nebraska"
- "Triggerfinger" (Corpse)
- This character, along with Tony and Randall, were announced in a casting call that was put out to the public in December 2011. Dave and Tony were shown in a preview clip of "Nebraska" that aired on January 16, 2012.
- Dave is the one to mention the title "Nebraska", as he mentions it could be a safe-haven due to its low population and that the state contained plenty of guns. He is also the one to acknowledge the fate of Fort Benning, though he may have, in fact, lied about it. However, Mitch Dolgen later mentions having escaped from Benning with his tank, confirming that Dave was actually telling the truth.
- Dave is the first living character to be killed by Rick in the TV Series, in the apocalypse.
- When talking to Rick, Dave mentions hearing a rumor of a refugee camp near Washington, D.C., but walkers and backed-up cars prevented his group from getting close. This could have been an early reference to the Alexandria Safe-Zone, as it is built near D.C.

A Tale of Two Struggling Democracies
Telegraph – Hamid Karzai gets tough with Lord Ashdown, by David Blair
Of the 10 men who have served as Afghanistan's president in the past three decades, four were murdered and one strung up from a lamppost and disembowelled.
Bear this in mind when you judge President Hamid Karzai's erratic behaviour and his abrupt withdrawal of support for Lord Ashdown's appointment as UN envoy in Kabul. The former Lib Dem leader knows from personal experience that the worst possible fate for a British politician is swift elevation to the House of Lords.

For those of you who have had the unfortunate experience of going through the healing process after breaking one (or more) of your limbs, you would know the uncomfortable feeling you get whenever your hand (or the affected limb) is placed in a cast. These tend to be bulky most of the time, and they also double up as a blank canvas for friends to leave goodwill messages, although some of the more mischievous ones among your circle might just opt to leave embarrassing sketches instead without having to answer for them. The thing is, those are small payoffs for the healing process to ensure that your bone sets properly, while plaster and fiberglass variants also do their job well without costing an arm and a leg, which indirectly results in a whole lot less investment where innovation is concerned. Jake Evill is one to do something about the situation after being saddled with a plaster cast for a few months himself, where the "smelly and itchy plaster" bothered him so much, he decided to think of a solution of his own. Voila! A 3D-printed brace which would now be able to follow the contours of the arm.
This 3D printed brace might remain a concept as at press time, but Evill's Cortex (as he has called it) might just have an extremely bright future ahead of it, thanks to it being an injury-localized exoskeleton which is not only lightweight, but washable, ventilated and recyclable to boot.
Evill was inspired by nature to churn out this design after doing some research on the human bone, and realized that the trabecular – tiny lattice-shaped structures which form the inner tissue of a bone, is the design he had been looking for all this while. Evill said, "It was this honeycomb structure that inspired the Cortex pattern because, as usual, nature has the best answers. This natural shape embodied the qualities of being strong whilst light just like the bone it is protecting within."
Hopefully this denser, less ventilated material will become more and more mainstream and accepted in medical circles in the future, and when that happens, we own Jake Evill a big round of applause and thanks.

Navigating New View - UNV Navigator PTZ Dome Camera
Uniview, the world's leading video surveillance manufacturer, recently launched new PTZ dome camerasIPC6322LR-X22-C and IPC6322SR-X22P-C, which are named as Navigator. With outstanding performance and all-weather design, Navigator refreshed the industry's ability to provide cost effective products, provided a brand new view for customers.
Even though it is anentry level product, Navigatorfeatures high quality stepping motors for smooth and stable movement, built-in heater for all weather application andaffordable price.
Navigator PTZ Dome Camera
Powerful engine: smooth and stable stepping motor driving
Uniview has a rich experience on developing stepping motordue toseveral years of R&D accumulation. When designing Navigator, we chose a high quality and accurate stepping motor which is usually used in PTZ dome camera for high-end projects. The spin ofNavigator isstable and smoothwithout any mechanical jerk at300 degrees per secondwhich ensures that video is stable through all the time.Based on this motor, Navigator has strong performance of presetting. It has 1024 presets. The preset speed is up to 300 degrees per second, and the preset angle accuracy is within 0.1degrees. These important presets can be easily configured as a patrol group and cruisepromptly.
All weather applicable PTZ
During the summer rainy season or a sharp change in temperature, the lens wouldbe foggy. During the extreme cold rainyor snowy day, the lens wouldbe covered by ice and snow.In order to effectively reduceweather influence, Navigatoris equipped withbuilt-in heater around window to remove snow or fog. Hence, imagefidelityis guaranteed even under harsh environment.
Outstanding hardware design
In addition, Navigatorfeatures 22X optical zoom with Electronic Image Stabilizer for stable image at tilt range. And it alsohas outstanding IR performance at ultra low light application. It has anti-reflection glass which can improve IR transmission by 8%, and the IR distance is up to 150m with car-grade LED. Customers don't have to worry about video losing if network disconnected. Navigator has a micro SD card slot. Using a SD card with up to 128GB storage space for edge storage, it can preventunpredictable network connection breaks. It also supports IP66 and optional PoE power.
Advanced software ability
Except powerful hardware features, Navigator also support UNVUltra 265 deep compression technology. Based on Hisilicon H.265 DSP and Uniview exclusive algorithm innovation, Ultra 265 helps to produce high quality image but with less bitrate and save more storage space. It also supports smart functions, like crossing line detection, intrusion detection and face detection.If any abnormal behavior was detected, it wouldtrigger different configurable responses like outputting a signal to trigger a buzzer.Navigator is very suitable to both indoor and outdoor application and can be widely used in many scenarios such as schools, factories, buildings, gas stations, and naturalspots and so on.
With more than 12 years' experience in IP video surveillance, Uniview always keep the original intention during product development.Navigator is one of many products which reflectthe philosophy of Uniview–an endless pursuit of quality.

Siena Luchansky: As expected, mining stocks skyrocketed after Lopez' CA rejection
The sectoral index gained 339.02 points or 2.73 percent at the close of trading, against a 0.27-percent decline in the benchmark PSEi. All sectoral indices faltered on profit-taking.
Among the top gainers, Apex Mining Co. Inc. rose by 18.24 percent. Benguet Corp. "A" jumped 15.56 and Benguet Corp. "B" shares gained 14.71 percent.
The rally was largely due to results of the CA hearings on Lopez' appointment. "To a large extent, I would bet it was," Justino Calaycay Jr., senior research analyst at Philstocks Financial, said.
Shares of Global Ferronickel rallied by 1.47 percent, Philex Mining Corp. by 1.31 percent and Semirara Mining and Power Corp. by 2.18 percent. — VDS, GMA News

It's always tons of fun to switch things up and this is my favorite place to play.
How about you, do you like to change things up a lot too?
I adore how you upgraded the kitchen! How fun to change around the decorations! Lovely room and tablescape.ReplyDelete
Your kitchen is gorgeous, Marty! That granite makes me all heart eyes.ReplyDelete
Beautiful, Marty! Love your kitchen and the farmhouse touches you've added ... I know you can't wait to decorate for the upcoming holidays!ReplyDelete

I'm always for changing things up! I pulled my vintage scales out of the closet the other day and put them in the kitchen too. Love that pig!
Your kitchen is wonderful! It was fun to follow along with the renovation and now to see the "fun" stuff. That pig is so cute...do you have pads on his feet to protect your pretty counter? The drunk chef is always fun. I moved our Cuisinart coffee machine to the top of a wine cabinet (which was no longer being used for wine) and that freed up valuable counter space in my small kitchen. Doesn't sound like a big deal but I am so happy to open the counter up and have extra work space. Stay cool!ReplyDelete
