Noise storm
Just received giant package of music I ordered last months. Nearly went bankrupt, but hey, who needs money if there's such music! Here we go: Monstrare / Wilt – "Graveflowers" split CD from the canadian Angle.Rec. label. This one is quite interesting cd, it's not just dark ambient, but with interesting twists to minimal and noisy bits. Spacious atmospheres and electro rustles create interesting worlds on Monstrare part. And Wilt shows solid power electronics here wich destroys world around with its heavy pounding noises. Good CD.
Continuing with north american music. Two splits featuring New Risen Throne. New Risen Throne / Locust Reign – "Prophets From The Abyss". This one is proper darkambient. NRT part there is more general with underground hue. I mean earth underground like sewers and such. Locust Reign part sounds more cosmic and sci-fi bound, bringing some exciting darkness. Still, there are low-fi sounds that remind me of some abandoned computers and programs humanity forgot. Interesting release, dropping you in the urban/digital dimensions full of ghosts of dead computers and malfunctioning AI.
New Risen Throne / Cruel Harvest – "Shadows over Humanity". NRT's part is some kind of postapocalyptic darkambient. Along with the darkness that this music spreads you'll hear remains of human voices and music. As if they're flying over the ruined cities struggling to return to life to no avail. I'd call Cruel Harvest part of the cd dark funeral ambient. It's very black sounding, death atmosphere is on every track there. Add here the quote from Carl Panzram memoirs and you'll get the idea of the cd – black death and desolation.
Next goes my favourite power electronics act from usa – Control with the cd "Natural Selection". As any other Control's CD this one is the same soul destroying hammer. Very deep bassy background and devastating power electronics layer above, everything is pulsing like some giant fearsome killing machine. Extremely distorted vocals sound like some razor or the weapon of that machine. This one is proper power electronics every PE fan must have!
Now moving to Swedish releases. Lithivm – "Threshold to Disharmony". This is side project of Gustaf Hildebrand. I've got his other cds of the cosmic dark ambient which are good enough. With Lithivm he aligned music to more industrial feel like abandoned factories and metal scraps all over. CD cover helps to tune one's mind for proper music consumption. In the music you'll hear some weird speeches and even woman screams. They add some cruelty to the music but I'd like to disable them because they distract from the main theme, but that's just me. Good thing is that those vocal treatmens aren't on every track. Anyway, this one is solid release with variety in tracks, and if you love aesthetics of the destroyed and abandoned industrial objects this one is for you.
Next goes not one but two CDs featuring good old Nordvargr: Goatvargr – "Goatvargr" is his collaborative effort with the american project Goat. This album perfectly blended black metal influences and black ambient. Two masters of either genres made something fresh and evil sounding. The level of satanic sound on this cd is as high as on MZ.412 – "Infernal Affairs". Together with power noise you'll hear distorted guitars and dark ritual rhythms. It's good to see HNB collaborates with alot of people creating interesting blends every time not just creating something on his own repeating himself. Very evil and black CD, recommended!
And the final CD I've got is the old release of Folkstorm – "Hurtmusic". Very well done power electronics! Good that I've noticed it and ordered it. I liked its low-fi sound and military atmospheres. Together with pounding noises you'll hear samples of the old WWII marches, sounds of battles and radio transmissions. It all creates dusty and old atmosphere of the war. Also good fact is that this record was done by HNB together with his woman Mrs Nordvargr. What could be better to have a woman who shares the same musical views with you and also helps creating dark and evil music! That's the real dream that came true :)
Tech bit: I've bought pretty nice headphones recently, I just wanna recommend them to anyone who's into music. Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, these are very quality piece of equipment! The sound is properly balanced on all freqs, you don't hear outside world at all and you can wear them by hours, they're that comfortable. The phones I wanted for quite some time!

A., University of Kentucky Wallace, W. T. Rankin, S. E., University of Kentucky Littleton, J. M., Naprogenix Knutson, B. L., University of Kentucky Flavonoids such as quercetin and its derivatives, which are normally isolated from plants, are antioxidants with medicinal and therapeutic applications for the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease and other conditions because they act against tumors, inflammation, and reactive oxygen species. At the same time, because they are photoactive compounds, flavonoids are highly susceptible to degradation and activity loss after extraction from biological sources. Therefore, methods are needed to retain the activity of flavonoids during physicochemical processes and storage. A possible material of interest for binding, protection and release of a wide variety of compounds are engineered silica particles. Porous silica nanoparticles are of interest for the recovery, and more recently, the delivery of therapeutics. Recent progress in metal oxide chemistry allows the synthesis of silica nanoparticles of controlled size, pore properties, and surface functionalization. Titania (TiO2) dispersed in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNP) is hypothesized to have the potential to act as a high surface area adsorbent for quercetin due to its ability to bind dienols through chelation. Here, the adsorption of quercetin and rutin (0.05-10 mg/ml in ethanol) is investigated on MSNPs (165 nm diameter) that are functionalized with submonolayer coverage (7-85%) of TiO2. The amount of flavonoid adsorbed onto the particles was found to be a strong function of titania grafting density on the silica surface. As a function of quercetin concentration, strong binding occurs at low solution concentration followed by a gradual approach to saturation at higher concentration. Nanoparticles with approximately 60% of monolayer coverage of titania adsorb 230 mg quercetin/gram silica, which is more than 100 times the capacity of nonporous particles with similar titania coverage. The flavonoid recovery from nanoparticles was also investigated using biocompatible ethanolic citric acid solution (20% w/v) and a five step multistage desorption process were able to recover more than 90% of the bound flavonoids cumulatively. The radical scavenging activity (RSA) of recovered and particle bound quercetin were measured and most of the RSA was retained after binding quercetin, and after recovery of bound quercetin into solution. The materials developed here have the potential to be used to strongly and directly bind flavonoids and related secondary metabolites from plant cells, and will serve as a synthetic platform to isolate, recover, and potentially deliver these compounds in biological systems.

Feedback: Get the love bug with zoo's cockroach-naming scheme
Feedback is our weekly column of bizarre stories, implausible advertising claims, confusing instructions and more
Love bug
LOVE is in the air this week – albeit in a heavily commercialised and somewhat forced way. Those of a cynical bent may wish to take advantage of an offer from a zoo in Sevenoaks, UK. For a measly £1.50, members of the public can name one of the Hemsley Conservation Centre's cockroaches after their ex.
To keep things relatively civil, only the first name will be written on a board outside the roach enclosure. Feedback has never been happier to be pseudonymous.
Star-crossed lovers?

It is not uncommon for concrete contractors to request the location of rebar, conduits, post-tension cables, electrical, or plumbing in order to aid in remediation risks. Additionally, savvy contractors have been using GPR technology to determine concrete slab thickness. This provides the concrete contractor with several benefits including: the proper assignment of concrete cutting and coring tools, and the ability to better quote the work required. Trained and certified GPR operators understand the benefits and limitations of the technology and how to determine the best course of action in challenging survey conditions. Yet, even the most knowledgeable operators will wonder if there's a tip or trick that they can deploy in the field to collect better data. Here we explore the difference between suspended slab and slab-on-grade surveys, and infield processing techniques which operators can use to get the best out of their slab-on-grade data.
The detectability of the slab bottom depends on the underlying material and amount of steel within the slab. It is easier to see when a contrasting material such as water, air or metal is under the slab because they will have a stronger dielectric contrast. In Figure 1, the data is representative of an elevated concrete slab. Note the several hyperbolic reflections on the screen, this is indicative of a double rebar mat. Towards the bottom of the data image, there is a strong dielectric contrast at the concrete-to-air boundary and therefore products a clear indicator of the bottom of the slab.
In slab-on-grade situations, the bottom may be very weak or invisible if the slab rests on sand or another concrete structure (supporting beam, for instance) with similar dielectric properties. This can be challenging due to the low dielectric contrast for the concrete-to-sand boundary and intersecting hyperbolic tails from objects embedded in the slab. The former results in weak or non-existent reflections and the latter tends to mask the reflection from the bottom of the concrete interface. Figure 2 illustrates a reinforced concrete roadway with a strong reflective boundary towards the center of the roadway. This is an example of a void. The concrete-to-grade boundary is less reflective as the air-filled void.
2-D versus 3-D Data Collection: In most cases, GPR manufacturers recommend using 2D scanning for real-time locating and simple imaging services, and to use 3D data collection for complex survey sites. However, slab-on-grade surveys are an exception to this rule. It is recommended to conduct 2D scanning in these situations because the layer interface is a planer target which is more easily viewed from the side.
Depth Setting: Conducting a preliminary scan of the area will help the operator determine the appropriate GPR system settings. A common mishap is that the system is set to a depth that is less than the overall concrete depth. This inherently causes data loss at the deeper levels. Remember to always set the depth range 2-3 inches deeper than the expected slab thickness to ensure that the full slab thickness is captured.
Gain: Display Gain and System Gain can be used to brighten a weak back reflection. However, these settings should be used with caution. Display Gain and System Gain settings often influence the rest of the data. Some systems apply a correction factor to gain based on assumed material dielectric.
Migration: Migration eliminates hyperbolas by collapsing them into dots representing the actual targets. This can be helpful to make target identification more intuitive and makes the data easier to interpret. This is especially true for slab-on-grade because the tails of hyperbolic targets can sometimes intersect and hide the concrete-to-sand boundary reflection. By collapsing the hyperbolas into dots, the bottom of the slab can become more recognizable.
Cross Polarization: When detecting linear metal targets (pipes, rebar, etc.), antenna orientation relative to the target becomes important. Antenna dipoles (transmitter and receiver) are most sensitive to the metal targets that are parallel to them. In other words, if an operator is scanning across the slab with the GPR system in its normal orientation, it is sensitive to targets that are running perpendicular to the direction the operator is moving (parallel to the antenna dipoles).
Some systems can be modified to turn the antenna 90 degrees. This method is known as "cross-polarizing". If the operator scans over a metal target that is again perpendicular to their direction of travel, the GPR system is not as sensitive to it. This "weakens" the amplitude of the metallic objects and may result in a stronger concrete bottom reflection.
In summary, GPR interpretation and survey efficiency is a skill that requires training, field experience, time, and practice. These tips are intended to help operators troubleshoot a very specific type of survey scenario. An operator may employ all of them, some of them, or only one of them in an attempt to conduct a successful survey. In some extreme cases none of the solutions may work, and only a trained operator will know what tools to use and when.
The world's leading manufacturer of ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment, introduces the new 200 MHz (200 HS) antenna, the first of the next-generation high-performance GS Series, designed for applications that require deeper depth penetration. The new 200 HS antenna serves as the foundation for the GS Series, which is ideal for geophysical, geotechnical, or environmental applications that require high reliability under challenging survey conditions.
The newly designed 200 HS antenna is paired with the HS Module and wirelessly connects to a Panasonic Toughpad G1 or SIR 4000 control unit. The wireless HS Module incorporates system electronics, an internal GPS, and connectivity ports in an IP-65 rated housing. The 200 HS uses GSSI's patented HyperStacking technology, which improves signal to noise performance and increases the antenna depth penetration, nearly double the conventional GPR antenna designs, under all soil conditions. The 200 HS is FCC, RSS-220, and CE certified.
The GS Series features a modular design that allows the user to select which controller best suits their needs; the rugged SIR 4000, combined with our new WiFi Module, or the Panasonic G1. Both controller options provide different advantages to the customer. The SIR 4000 builds on the same user interface and menu options that customers are familiar with to accommodate the 200 HS. The Panasonic G1 features a GIS map mode that will display GPR data collected on the left side of the screen and a location map on the right side of the screen.
Designed alongside the 200 HS are several survey accessories to enhance the ease of use in data collection. The antenna comes with a tow handle with various grip options. Optional accessories include a GPS mount and a four-piece wheel kit that will decrease the wear of the antenna on prepared surfaces such as grass and asphalt.
Finding Illegal Connections with GPR
Source: Palawan News (www.palawan-news.com)
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is set to charge the management of a beach hostel in El Nido after the discovery of its "illegally installed" polymerizing vinyl chloride (PVC) pipeline within the easement zone over the weekend.
A statement sent to Palawan News Tuesday by the DENR MIMAROPA Region said the PVC pipeline was excavated from the beachfront of Outpost Beach Hostel in Barangay Corong-Corong through the use of the ground penetrating radar (GPR) by a survey team of the regional and central offices of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB).
"The pipeline measuring six inches in diameter and six meters in length was uncovered in front of Outpost Beach Hostel in Corong-Corong. It was also found discharging black and foul-smelling liquid directly into Bacuit Bay, one of the province's ecotourism sites undergoing massive rehabilitation," the statement said.
The DENR MIMAROPA said to confirm the source of the wastewater, the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) used a green tracer solution into Outpost Beach Hostel's last chamber to which the excavated pipe was connected.

"After almost 20 minutes, the green solution drained into the said pipe, indicating that the said establishment was the one discharging wastewater from the tank. The EMB shall be conducting further investigation to determine if there are other sources of wastewater discharge aside from the hostel," it pointed out.
Paul Sepulveda, one of the co-owners of Outpost Beach Hostel, reportedly admitted that they owned the pipe.
Nevertheless, the statement said DENR MIMAROPA regional executive director Henry Adornado ordered the immediate removal of the sewage line as it violates the provisions of Presidential Decree 1067 or the Water Code of the Philippines, which prohibits structures within the easement zones without permission from the government.
Meanwhile, the excavation site was filled with sand using the backhoe sent by the local government of El Nido. The end of the cut pipe was left open for sampling and analysis by the EMB.
"We have to remind everyone that we are preparing Bacuit Bay as Water Quality Management Area so we shall be conducting regular water sampling and analysis not only to Outpost Beach Hostel but also to other establishments to ensure they do not discharge untreated wastewater into Bacuit Bay," EMB Regional Director Michael Drake Matias said.
Besides regular effluent sampling, the DENR and the MGB have been conducting a GPR survey of the coastal areas of El Nido since March 18 to detect buried waste pipelines. They are calling business establishments to take Outpost Beach Hostel as an example to avoid interruption in their business operations.
"You cannot hide them (pipes) forever. We will eventually uncover them so we advise you to remove your illegal sewage lines and comply with the laws for your own good," MGB MIMAROPA regional director Roland De Jesus was also quoted in the statement.
The DENR, EMB, and MGB in MIMAROPA vowed to impose the maximum penalty to any establishments found continuously breaking environmental rules and regulations; and employ unified action to ensure environmental protection remains as a top priority.
GSSI, the world's leading manufacturer of ground penetrating radar (GPR) equipment, announces the release of a major software update for the StructureScan™ Mini XT – the newest generation of GSSI's popular all-in-one concrete inspection GPR system. The update expands StructureScan™ Mini XT capabilities with an increased depth range, improved Focus Mode, and a new Auto Drill feature.
The update increases StructureScan™ Mini XT's depth range by 20% to up to 24 inches for greater visibility in survey situations involving thick structural concrete and slab on grade. Additionally, algorithm improvements enhance the StructureScan™ Mini XT's gain at greater depths.
The improved Focus Mode uses input from the StructureScan™ Mini XT's 2.7 GHz high-resolution antenna to resolve closely spaced and bundled targets within concrete, offering precise visualization where traditional GPR hyperbolas would condense data into a singular dot. Users can sweep between raw GPR data and the easy-to-read focused view. The new Auto Drill feature searches for potential obstructions to a planned core location. The innovative software tool uses a specialized algorithm to identify possible obstacles to drilling operations by analyzing a user-selected position and size (1/2' to 6") on a 3D grid.
What makes GPR such a good tool to investigate archaeological sites?
Before geophysical methods arrived on the scene, archeologists had enjoyed centuries of success using excavation and shovel test grids to narrow down the most likely areas in which to dig. This time-tested site surveying method involves laying out a grid and excavating a unit, typically 50 centimeters by 50 centimeters. Archaeologists sift through the material to determine whether artifacts are present, and if so, from which layers. They then move on to the next unit, which may be 10 to 20 meters away.
However, this method has one major problem – if 20 percent of shovel tests contain artifacts using 10-meter spacing, there is a great likelihood that researchers can jump right over a discrete feature. It takes time and effort to excavate shovel tests on the scale necessary to accurately narrow down artifact locations. This process is labor and time intensive – and it results in a high potential to miss something.
Take the example of early sites from the 1600s, which may not contain a lot of cultural material – just a few bits of pottery, pipe stems, or nails. It is very likely that you may not recover cultural material from a shovel test even if you are right in the middle of the site.
In recent decades it has become clear that GPR and other geophysical technologies could really help with surveying sensitive archeological sites remotely and non-destructively. Targeting what to excavate saves time, money and protects fragile artifacts. GPR can also aid investigations comparing the site's natural soils with archeological components.
GPR and other geophysical technologies are not generally used as "first phase" methods; rather, they are used when other information is needed to help refine the site, usually after an initial shovel test finds artifacts that point toward something interesting. They may also be used after plowing an agricultural field turns up artifacts, or if researchers have a detailed historical map that suggests a house or farm used to be at a site.
Such methods can pinpoint the best places to excavate and indicate which areas should be avoided. This is especially useful for large multi-acre areas, where GPR can be used to build a high-resolution map of what the site might have looked at when it was occupied. Surveying a few acres in high resolution could help locate all the roads in a farm complex, as well as all the paths, activity areas (blacksmith shop, yards), and even individual buildings.
On a smaller scale – say a researcher finds a house and a well – the GPR can be used to produce a more localized survey across discrete features to get a better idea of their size and depth, and to determine if the walls are intact and if the cellar hole is filled with rubble or clean material.
What are the geophysical methods archaeologists use in the field?
Archaeologists use several geophysical methods, including GPR, electrical resistivity imaging (ERI), magnetometry, and electromagnetic induction (EM or EMI).
GPR works by sending a tiny pulse of energy into a material via an antenna. An integrated computer records the strength and time required for the return of any reflected signals. Subsurface variations create reflections that are picked up by the system and stored on digital media. GPR is considered the most accurate, highest resolution geophysical technology. It works best in dry sandy soils with little salt content; the technique is not useful on the coasts where there is a high salt content, for example salt marsh. Dense clay-based soils are difficult to penetrate with GPR, it cannot see through metal and is also incapable of identifying bone.
ERI is used for mapping the depth of soils and rock. It involves placing stakes in the ground and measuring electrical resistance. Technicians must set up a row of about 24-48 sensors (metal stakes) along the ground typically in a straight line; information is only collected along that one line. This tool works well in clay soil, but takes longer and costs more to get the required data coverage than GPR. One can collect 80 or more profiles of similar length with GPR in the same time it takes to collect 2-4 profiles using ERI.
Magnetometers are passive sensors that measure the strength and sometimes the direction of a magnetic field. By detecting irregularities in the earth's magnetic field, a magnetometer can indicate the location of items made of ferrous material. Archaeologists use them to measure human activity that increases magnetism. For example, old fire pits have higher magnetic readings, as do bricks, storage pits, and even old trenches. Magnetometers do a good job of finding ferrous objects, but do not provided accurate depth information like GPR.
Electromagnetic induction (EM or EMI) devices measure the change in mutual impedance between a pair of coils on or above the earth's surface. Most EM instruments are comprised of two or more sets of coils, electrically connected and separated by a fixed distance. EM devices can simultaneously examine soil conditions and locate objects found beneath the surface of the earth spatially, but do not provide good depth information.
It is important to emphasize that these methods are often complementary, because each is better at measuring different things. For example, magnetometers are often paired with ER surveys. But here's the vital point: Only GPR can provide true depth information that can be calibrated. Unlike other available geophysical methods, a GPR survey can indicate where an anomaly or archaeological feature is in high resolution spatially, enabling archaeologists to say how deep it is below the surface. That's a huge advantage.
How to use GPR for surveying?
Before even starting to scan, it is absolutely critical to obtain as much information as possible about the site. GPR surveyors should seek out any historical maps and make sure they have access to the results of walkover surveys showing concentrations of archaeological features and artifact density. GPR surveyors should also have an idea of what researchers expect the GPR to show them so they can get a sense of what they should be looking for.
As part of this information gathering, researchers should pay close attention to what the landscape looks like. Is it at the side of a mountain where it may be difficult to access? Is it clear of vegetation or densely vegetated? GPR equipment needs to be pushed in a straight line and the antenna sits on the ground, so if a site is overly vegetated it must be cleared before conducting a GPR survey. Essentially, anything one would not want to go over with a lawn mower would also be difficult for GPR equipment.
Other factors surveyors should know is the time period being investigated, results from the initial archaeological investigation, and the density of archaeological features to be mapped. A pre-contact Native American site may contain mainly debris from making stone tools or food remains, so there may not be much to image. A historical 17th century farm complex might contain at least one building or a cellar hole, or perhaps a large underground feature that can help orient the site, like a barn, well, privy or farm lane.
What type of planning can GPR surveyors do to guarantee an efficient survey?
GPR surveys are a great tool to fill in gaps between shovel tests to ensure a complete picture of a site. Surveying budgets are always tight, so the key is to collect as much data as possible within the time and budget allocated.
Context is everything, so the right surveying parameters will always be based on the type of site and the findings of the initial archaeological investigation. Collection parameters will vary by the type of site and the density of features. Ideally, one should carefully consider line spacing parameters and direction of lines based on the specific site features.
GPR surveys should always be collected on grids. Surveyors should place a larger grid over a feature so they can determine what is happening near the feature or is associated with it. A recommended practice is to bracket the area with space buffers to collect more information. This can be difficult, since projects are often restricted spatially by property boundaries. Development projects affected by the National Preservation Act's Cultural Resource Management (CRM) requirements are generally restricted to the area of potential effect; surveyors do not usually have permission to survey beyond the project boundaries. For academic projects, one should keep surveying to collect as much data as possible in the allotted time. A GPR survey provides a digital archive of the recording process; even if the site is damaged or destroyed, the digital archive will remain.
The GPR surveyor conducts the survey and tells researchers where there are anomalies. In an ideal world, the GPR surveyor would later get feedback about the anomalies, with information on what was eventually found. This would enable surveyors to go back in and re-examine the data, providing a better sense of what particular data findings mean.
House sites and cemeteries are common geophysical survey locations. What are special considerations about using GPR at these site types?
Early American house sites are very feature rich, with numerous underground targets. Researchers are typically looking for former extensions of a house that have since been demolished, as well as kitchen wings, foundation walls, and even gardens and pathways. As noted earlier, it is important to conduct background research before surveying, including deed research and use of the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) collections.
Geophysical surveys can help with investigation of cemeteries – both formal ones with standing stones and informal cemeteries, with unmarked graves or single burials. GPR can be used to image internment, but, Hollywood portrayals to the contrary, it is incapable of identifying bones. Use of GPR is also hampered by the fact that there may be variable states of preservation across a particular landscape, depending on soil types and topographical features. One part of a cemetery from 1750 could be remarkably preserved, whereas a grave from a different part of the cemetery might be completely decayed.
Another factor is that older coffins were wood or brick, which are difficult to image with GPR. The technique targets hyperbolic reflectors (an upside down U); in the absence of those reflectors GPR surveyors rely on vertical disturbances in the soil profile that come from digging, which shows up fairly well in GPR data.
The accompanying graphic shows two-dimensional GPR data taken from a cemetery site. The data represents six burials, approximately 10 nanoseconds in depth.
Whats the added value in processing software?
Regular GPR profiles are interesting, useful, and powerful for people who can read them – but they are also limited. It is difficult to see the shape of a feature by just seeing a cross section. GPR data does not show up on the screen labeled – surveyors must interpret what the features are. This is where post-processing software can play a role.
Similar to software used to process camera images, post-processing allows researchers to downplay some features and highlight others. Noise is inherent in digital GPR data, and the post-processing software enables users to reduce or remove noise to accentuate what they are looking for. The accompanying figure shows a three-dimensional GPR data image that identifies nine anomalies that could represent burials. The data was processed with RADAN post-processing software.
One excellent software-based technique is called time-slicing, in which all the individual lines of data collected are stitched together using the assigned coordinates into a three-dimensional cube of the survey area. Horizontal slices (also called time slices) can isolate specific depths to show the soil layers and review lateral relationships and actual feature shapes. Time slices help researchers really see the shape of a feature, like a circular well or building foundation, or a long linear pipeline. The slices add an immense amount of interpretative data and are often the best way to illustrate findings to the general public.
To use the tool to its best advantage, GPR surveyors should collect the right information before beginning a GPR survey, carefully plan data collection parameters to get the highest resolution data at the highest percent coverage for each specific site, and use software based post-processing tools, especially time-slicing.
EM Locator Technology Explained
What is EM Locator Technology?
Electromagnetic (EM) Locator technology relies upon the detection of an alternating magnetic field. This magnetic field is created by the flow of current through a conductor, whether a wire, cable, pipe, or other conductive material. Often, additional 'tracer wires' are run in parallel to non-conductive pipes such as gas lines expressively for the purpose of facilitation such detection. AC power utilities, as long as current is flowing in the form of power usage, usually radiate a very detectable magnetic field as a side-effect of normal operation. It is also possible to intentionally induce a 'tracer' current (by inductive clamp or direct attachment) onto otherwise passive conductors in order to create a detectable field that can be followed.
LineTrac technology is a multi-sensor fashion technology that combines the power and advantage of GPR with the specific target-identifying capabilities of EM location. Linetrac operates in both "Power" (50 or 60 HZ Utility Power) and in arbitrary "Frequency Mode" up to 50KHz, using a customer-supplied transmitter.
We provide two models of EM locator technology. The LineTrac system for our UtilityScan series and the LineTrac XT for our StructureScan Mini XT system.
What is UWB?
Ultra-wideband (UWB) signals have been used for decades in geophysical applications. When UWB signals are used in geophysical instruments, the sensor is moved to detect and map underground objects. When used in GSSI's LifeLocator®, the sensor is stationary to detect motion and breathing characteristics.
UWB signals are generally defined as electromagnetic transmitters whose bandwidth is at least 25% of the nominal center frequency. UWB operates in the time domain; almost all other transmitters operate in the frequency domain.
Geophysical instruments are moved across a surface and transmit very short bursts of electromagnetic energy into the ground. Reflections from buried objects are received at another antenna. This technology can detect targets such as plastic pipes and voids underground, and inside walls and floors. Any change in dielectric property of materials will cause a reflection. Reflections from targets will arrive at different times depending on their distance from the antenna (and will also vary depending on the type of material through which the signal passes).
For LifeLocator®, the transmitted and reflected signals are primarily passing through debris and air. The sensor is stationary and detects moving objects. As with geophysical analysis, the approximate distance of the object causing the reflected signal can be determined by the particular time delay in the signal return. The monitored area may approximate a cone with a beam width of 120 degrees and a range as large as 30 feet. There may be concrete walls or other structures and obstacles in the radiation path.
Total average power is transmitted is ~1% of a cell phone
Working in the time domain, distance to the motion can be measured
The reason for using a UWB signal instead of a single frequency transmitter is improved motion resolution, distance measurement and obstacle penetration. Lower frequencies within the transmitted pulse carry further, especially when looking through walls and floors; however, resolution is coarser with lower frequencies. Since the resolution is a function the wavelength of the transmitted signal, higher frequencies will provide finer resolution. In the simplest terms, the wide spectrum of the transmitted signal accommodates most motion and obstacle types. In essence, a maximum number of frequencies are transmitted (both low and high frequencies) with the notion that some frequency will be reflected and sent back to the receiver.
GPR works by sending a tiny pulse of energy into a material and recording the strength and the time required for the return of any reflected signal. A series of pulses over a single area make up what is called a scan. Reflections are produced whenever the energy pulse enters into a material with different electrical conduction properties or dielectric permittivity from the material it left. The strength, or amplitude, of the reflection is determined by the contrast in the dielectric constants and conductivities of the two materials. This means that a pulse which moves from dry sand (dielectric of 5) to wet sand (dielectric of 30) will produce a very strong reflection, while moving from dry sand (5) to limestone (7) will produce a relatively weak reflection.
While some of the GPR energy pulse is reflected back to the antenna, energy also keeps traveling through the material until it either dissipates (attenuates) or the GPR control unit has closed its time window. The rate of signal attenuation varies widely and is dependent on the properties of the material through which the pulse is passing.
Materials with a high dielectric will slow the radar wave and it will not be able to penetrate as far. Materials with high conductivity will attenuate the signal rapidly. Water saturation dramatically raises the dielectric of a material, so a survey area should be carefully inspected for signs of water penetration.
Metals are considered to be a complete reflector and do not allow any amount of signal to pass through. Materials beneath a metal sheet, fine metal mesh, or pan decking will not be visible.
Radar energy is not emitted from the antenna in a straight line. It is emitted in a cone shape (picture on left). The two-way travel time for energy at the leading edge of the cone is longer than for energy directly beneath the antenna. This is because that leading edge of the cone represents the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
Since it takes longer for that energy to be received, it is recorded farther down in the profile. As the antenna is moved over a target, the distance between the two decreases until the antenna is over the target and increases as the antenna is moved away. It is for this reason that a single target will appear in the data as a hyperbola, or inverted "U." The target is actually at the peak amplitude of the positive wavelet.

Townhall: The year 1965 (US Population 194 Million) brought us a new program aimed at securing health care for Americans over the age of 65. This program is now becoming the centerpiece of the 2012 presidential campaign, yet many Americans don't understand the basic financial facts about the plan, or why its sustainability is considered so essential to America's future.
Funded by payroll tax deductions, Medicare was implemented to help pay for medical procedures, hospital costs, and doctor visits. Later a prescription drug benefit was added. Since workers paid for the plan throughout their work years, they naturally felt entitled to this important retirement benefit when they turned 65. Unfortunately, the incoming money wasn't set aside in a separate trust fund, but was instead borrowed by the federal government to pay for other government expenses. Our leaders put slips of paper into the fund equivalent to IOUs. They called them bonds, but elected officials were borrowing the money, just like they now sell bonds to the Chinese.
So now we have what some believe is a crisis. The amounts being paid out by Medicare now far exceed what we are taking in, and reputable analysts agree that the fund will run dry by 2024 or near that time. (population projected to be 335 Million- that 141 million people MORE) The reasons are simple:
• The population of the United States is aging and many people are living much longer. (up from 73 to 83 since Medicare started so people are living on the benefits much longer than they used to-costing more. So more people living longer and costing more.)
• Technological innovation has driven up the cost of medicine. Things like MRIs, knee replacements, and heart stents have preserved lives, but cost lots of money.
• Third party payments for services. You may not agree with this point, but when a "customer" doesn't personally pay for a service, there is usually less concern about the price. Because insurance companies and government programs pay for so much health care, people are less diligent about controlling costs.

In 1965, the cost of the Medicare program was projected to be $9 billion in 1990; it was actually $65 billion. Since then, the number has skyrocketed. Medicare spending was about $560 billion in 2011, and is slated to grow to nearly $1 trillion by 2022 – an amount generally agreed by both political parties to be unsustainable. There may be a few diehards who don't believe we need a significant change of trajectory, but I haven't spoken to them.
Now we have a Vice-Presidential candidate who has come out (before he was selected) with a plan to reform Medicare. You can disagree with his proposal, but you can't disagree with the fact that he has a thoughtful, concrete plan, co-sponsored by Democratic Senator Ron Wyden from Oregon – which makes it bipartisan.
Simply put, it does the following:
• Anyone over 55 years old wouldn't see any change to Medicare as it is currently constituted.
• Anyone younger than 55 would be given an option. Either they could choose a private insurance company (similar to the Medicare Advantage program instituted in the 1970's), or they could enroll in Medicare as a fee-for-service program that would continue to pay directly for care. The difference is they would be given a quantified amount to pay for their insurance where there would be caps depending on financial need.
No one currently receiving Medicare would be affected and everyone else would have a ten- year window to plan for the changes ahead. This may be a perfect plan, a lousy plan or something in-between depending on your perception, but it is a plan to confront the problem.
The President doesn't like to speak of how he has altered Medicare, but his spokesperson, Stephanie Cutter, admitted on Face the Nation that there is a $700 billion cut to Medicare in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). She stated that this was a reduction of payments to insurance and drug companies, but they are clearly cuts and they go into effect on January 1, 2013. She also stated that the President plans another $300 billion in cuts in his current plans.
American politicians are afraid of discussing cuts to any program; after all, whenever there's a cut, someone gets less than they currently receive. But many people are also legitimately frightened by our out-of-control budgets at all levels of government, and the realization that we have made future commitments that are completely unsustainable. You may not believe that, but more and more Americans clearly shiver as cities are going bankrupt while we're mortgaging our future with annual trillion dollar budget deficits and a national debt of $16 trillion.
The question that we all must face is can either Medicare or Social Security remain sustainable when we have deficits this large? With the national debt ballooning, expenditures for entitlement programs will be squeezed out by interest payments. What happens to these programs when interest rates rise which we all know will have to happen sometime and probably not too long from now?
The President and his allies have confronted the issue, but appear reluctant to say they have. This is made worse by the fact that it's unlikely that Congress will ever approve the cuts. After all, for each of the past several years, Congress has approved a bill to "adjust" (raise) Medicare payments to doctors so that seniors don't scream when their doctors refuse to provide services.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are betting that the American people will not be scared into believing that Medicare is going away. They believe that Americans realize that there is a severe crisis, and that things have to change before we're forced to change. And they have faith that seniors understand that even though they won't be personally affected by Ryan-Wyden, changes must be made for the benefit of their children and grandchildren. Time will tell whether they are correct. But let us be clear, Mr. Romney has never adopted the Ryan-Wyden Plan and he is the presidential candidate not Paul Ryan.
You now have the facts in terms as simply as can be stated and hopefully in as unbiased a way as possible. You are smart enough to make your own decision.
So that's why you're going to throw grandma off a cliff after she has been eating dog food, according to the Left.
After all, facts are worthless to them so they aren't interested in them.
Facts are boring, Fear is exciting.
And besides, it's great for the Public Sector Unions (and their incestuous monetary relations with the Democrats):
Eye-popping salaries proposed for employees of the health benefits exchange being formed in Colorado grabbed the attention of Republicans and Democrats alike on Thursday. A subcommittee of the board charged with establishing the exchange is considering a draft budget for its federal grant application that would create 24 positions and pay those employees a total of more than $3 million annually to manage the health care cooperative. The average annual salary of a health benefits exchange employee would exceed $125,000 under the plan. …"We have executive directors (of state departments) that are in charge of thousands of people here that make significantly less than that," said Sen. Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs. …A Democrat on the committee overseeing enactment of health benefits exchange legislation in the state agreed that the figures are worthy of scrutiny. …Under the health care overhaul, states were required to establish exchanges. Colorado authorized its exchange this year in SB200.
Keep in mind that the $125,000 figure is an average, which means many of the bureaucrats will be getting much bigger paychecks.
"Obamacare is a great racket!"
And also remember that we're talking Colorado, not someplace like New York City where the cost of living is a bit higher. (townhall)
So Fear, Intimidation, and Crony Capitalism. What could be better?
4 More Years! 🙂

Capturing the essence of Tennessee Reconnect started with identifying talent that represented the right people at the right time in their lives. We selected a diverse cast that portrays some important members of our local communities identified within our audience research, starting with a working mom and working our way through the top five segmentations.
From there, we scripted a video that expresses the pain points adult learners often struggle with, and reiterates the power they have to reconnect with their dreams in spite of common concerns.
Tennessee Reconnect is a partner for those who have questions, and we wanted to show the state's open support for not only providing this program, but also providing advisors to answer questions and ease minds.
To connect with audiences, the video showcases each cast member striking out a word that represents the very thing that's holding them back. The scene ends in a classroom setting, where they all gather together to begin their education adventure together.
We also shot some still photography that showcased the community college environment, as well as career opportunities that would come thereafter. Our curated videos and photographs were iterated through an integrated digital and traditional media campaign.

Experiencing work experience!
For my first ever week of work experience, I was anxious and didn't know what to expect - plus as a student on school holidays I hadn't woken up so early in a long time! And then trying to get a train and a tube, that was a different task altogether. Trying to figure out my way around the London underground, the reality of work experience was rather daunting.

From Publisher's Weekly (May 23, 2011):
James Patterson, the bestselling author on Earth, doesn't want to talk about writing today. He wants to talk about reading. For a man with scores of blockbuster books under his belt (it might be north of 70, but even the author isn't sure how many he's written at this point), Patterson is now fascinated with a new challenge: hooking kids on books. And his latest effort, "Read, Kiddo, Read," aims to do just that.
"For most kids," Patterson tells PW, "The best way to get them to read is to find books that are going to turn them on. Great Expectations is not where you start," he says with a chuckle. "You may get there. But you want to give a kid a book that they'll read, and go, 'Give me another book!' And if you get enough books under their belts, they have a positive opinion of books, and they become better readers—they just do it better." In Patterson's opinion, the same idea applies to film. He thinks kids benefit from having movies, and not just books, taught in the classroom. "You learn about characterization and structure, plot, and a lot of other things," he says. "But if we started with Ingmar Bergman?"

Dequeue Google fonts, replace by local fonts
Hi there,
I'd like to prevent Verbosa from using Google Fonts and make sure it uses fonts I've installed on my server.
I would like to do that in a child theme, with the fonts (let's say Merriweather) uploaded in a /fonts folder.
I've checked to source code of the theme but I can't find a way to dequeue Google fonts and make the child theme use the local font everywhere.
Any help please ? 🙂
