Buzzidil´s MyTai is a simple, compact MeDai Babycarrier made out of 100% Organic Cotton. It is soft and smooth like a wrap, but way easier and faster to tie: buckle up the hipbelt, place your child in front of you, cross the shoulder straps and tie them underneath the bottom of your baby. Go!
The MyTai is perfect if you share your carrier with someone who has a completly different physique than you have - slender, muscular, opulent - the MyTai fits everyone with hardly any adjustment at all. And if you realize that everything feels a little bit too loose, you can use the regulations at the shoulder straps to tighten things up - even if you are wearing your jacket over the carrier. This makes the MyTai unique.
Another feature of the MyTai is, that it grows easy with your child. Use the drawstrings to regulate the width and the length at once - intuitive, steeplessly and while using the MyTai. This helps to perfectly adjust it to the needs of your baby.

NEW YORK (AP) — Major airlines scrapped flights in and out of the New York area Wednesday as the region was socked with the second significant storm in little more than a week.
United and American suspended operations in the region by afternoon, as white-out conditions developed. Other airlines have cancelled flights too. All are encouraging passengers to reschedule are allowing them to do it for free.
Airlines are quick to cancel flights ahead of major storms to avoid stranding aircraft and crews. Doing so also lessens storm-related financial losses. As of 4 p.m. Eastern, about 1,300 U.S. flights had been canceled on Wednesday, according to flight tracker FlightAware. About 40 percent of those are at Newark Liberty International Airport — which was also the hardest hit with Superstorm Sandy last Monday. Most of those cancellations were made well before the first snowflake fell.
Sandy caused more than 20,000 flight cancellations, making it the second-most disruptive storm in the last seven years. The latest storm is weaker than Sandy but still carries high winds, a mix of rain and snow and the potential for more flooding. Sandy flooded some airport runways.
Wednesday's storm, with blowing snow and fog, at times limited visibility. Making matters worse, Sandy damaged some navigational aids at New York's airports. In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration said technicians are working around the clock to restore the navigational aids and other damaged equipment at all three airports in the New York area. The FAA also said it worked with airlines ahead of the Wednesday storm to identify arrival and departure patterns to allow pilots to use runways with working navigation equipment in low visibility conditions.
United, the world's largest airline, suspended most service in New York starting at noon. It warns that the bad weather will likely cause more delays and cancellations throughout the Northeast.
American Airlines shut down in New York at 3 p.m. It stopped flights to and from Philadelphia at noon.
Most other airlines, including Delta Air Lines Inc. and JetBlue Airways Corp., are asking passengers to reschedule Northeast flights to a later date. They're waiving the usual change fees of up to $150. But customers don't have a lot of time: Most waivers only allow passengers to reschedule within a week. That's in part because the busy Thanksgiving travel season is approaching, and airlines are eager to clear the traveler backlog.
JetBlue, which is the biggest domestic airline at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, said its operations had just gotten back to normal Monday after Sandy.
There's a dollars-and-cents reason that airlines cancel big swaths of their schedules well ahead of bad weather. Cancellations aren't as expensive for airlines as some might think.
Most passengers eventually reschedule, so the airline still collects the fare. And if flights are canceled, the airline doesn't have to pay the crew or the cost of burning fuel. Pilots and flight attendants only get paid once the main cabin doors close.
Many passengers on canceled flights are often squeezed onto another flight, which improves the airline's efficiency.
Airlines also are not required to pay for hotel rooms, food or other expenses for passengers stuck overnight due to the weather, as many stranded by Sandy learned to their dismay.
Surges from the current storm along the coasts of New Jersey and New York are expected to reach perhaps 3 feet, only a fraction of what Sandy caused. High winds, which may gust to 65 mph, could extend inland throughout the day, potentially hampering power restoration efforts or causing more outages.

i've always been amazed at how kittehs will drink dirty water over what's in their dish. must be a taste thing.ReplyDelete
hmm...is that yummy....i've been known to drink toilet water myselfReplyDelete
I insist on cold spring water, myself!ReplyDelete
Are you sure that isn't a fountain of youth? ;-)ReplyDelete
We were hoping you were packaging some of your 'Fin-ness' so we could order and snuggle!ReplyDelete
How did you like it? My kitties like fresh spring water. :)ReplyDelete

Water in my fountain is undrinkable. Obviously yours is much nicer. I prefer fresh rain water, which is plentiful lately.ReplyDelete
Like Momo, Ginger has been going after the rain water...she only wishes we had a pond.ReplyDelete
Water always tastes best when it's anywhere EXCEPT in a water bowl!ReplyDelete
Dear Fin,ReplyDelete
I've started an art project and I need artists to come help. I have yet to find a cat artist willing to participate, do you think you and your friends might be interested?

Oh, that's Derry favourite! Mmm, good!ReplyDelete
You're right Fin, you should bottle it and sell it!ReplyDelete
Hee hee hee! ... ew.ReplyDelete
Yum, can you send us a few bottles?ReplyDelete
It takes a very special cat to heave such a huge impressive drinking bowl.ReplyDelete
Also a good place to regurgitate should that pond water come back on you! LOL!ReplyDelete
You're looking very cute up on your toesies like that, Fin!
I'm a very particular kitty, and this does not appeal to me.at.all.ReplyDelete

Purrs Goldie
Sounds perfect!ReplyDelete
We've never tried that kind of water, we bet it's yummy!ReplyDelete
Purrs and hugs,

Android owners, strap yourselves in! (Especially if you're a fan of artificially-applied Lomo filters!)
Instagram, that wildly popular iPhone photosharing app that's now been downloaded over eight million times, will in fact be coming to Android-powered devices, as confirmed by the company's CEO in an interview with The Guardian.
(MORE: Facebook Adding Instagram-like Photo Filters)
But when exactly? That much isn't clear. Here's what Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom had to say:
"'It's hugely important to us, but we're only six people,' he says. 'Android is a major priority for us, but first we have to build the team, and find the best people in the world to work on these projects.' The company is currently hiring engineers and designers to help it move more quickly on all three of these aims."
So…they haven't even built a team yet. Right. (On the bright side, I guess they're hiring?)
Instagram's seen tremendous growth in the past year as early adopting celebrities jump aboard, typically taking droves of their online followers with them. It certainly helps, too, when one of those celebrities happens to be named Justin Bieber.
Head over to the The Guardian to read more. There, Systrom outlines why he's not afraid of Facebook's coming photo filters ("We use asymmetric follows like Twitter, which is a really big differentiating point,") and what kind of stuff the company has on the horizon as brands like Playboy, Gucci and National Geographic are all making their presence felt on the service. Plus, they're working on a Web client, so you'll be able to get in on the action and see what your friends are doing from your desktop.
What's that? A Techland Instagram account, you say? Some cutting-edge, behind the scenes tech blogging action?
Maybe, but only if you're into things like, uh, boredom…or being tragically underwhelmed.

It seems like nearly every new piece of technology comes with a built-in, high-resolution camera. Sure, anyone can take a photo, but what separates an everyday snapshot from a purposeful composition? Let us take your photos to the next level with TechHive's Digital Photography Superguide, now available on the iBookstore, Kindle Store, Nook Store, Google Play, and as a PDF.
Any photographer will tell you that the best camera is the one you have with you. In the years since our editorial team released the last edition of this Digital Photography Superguide (through Macworld), smartphones have increasingly become that ubiquitous camera. Indeed, most of today's smartphone cameras have specs you might have found in a point-and-shoot a few years ago. But whether the camera in your hand is a smartphone or a $1000 DSLR, the focus of this book remains the same: to help you get the most out of your camera.
With this all new edition of the Digital Photography Superguide, we've tried to simplify some of the most complex photography concepts, and we've added picture comparisons and full-color diagrams to help explain how your camera works. We've also expanded our coverage of smartphone photography, offering a full chapter on taking, editing, and sharing great pictures with the latest versions of iOS and Android, as well as Windows Phone 8. We also provide photography app recommendations and a guide for a tablet as an aid for professional photographers.
The only surefire way to become a better photographer is experience. Luckily, digital photography allows you to make as many mistakes, cost-free, as your memory card can hold. And as you combine technical knowledge and compositional awareness with lots of practice, you'll be able to capture moments of brilliance. We hope this book will help you along that journey.
Want a glimpse inside TechHive's digital darkroom? You can check out a free PDF preview of our Digital Photography Superguide.
Download the Digital Photography Superguide for your favorite device (which may also double as your go-to camera): You can buy the book on the iBookstore, Kindle Store, Nook Store, and Google Play for $9.99.
You can also pick up a PDF version of the Digital Photography Superguide from our web store for $9.99 or get the full package—iBooks, Kindle, Nook, and PDF versions—for $12.99.
If you're interested in even more digital photography coverage, check out Macworld's iPhone Photography Superguide. We also offer how-to guides for your smartphone and computer: Check out the rest of our Superguide offerings on our website.

Posted by Macquarie Asset Management
June 12, 2019
The use of data and ability to perform "digital asset management" can vary widely in different sectors and the application depends on the experience, maturity and capability of the organisation. Some assets are only at the beginning of their journey to implement digital solutions, still relying on manual processes, while others will have made large investments with advanced technological capabilities deeply ingrained in the organisation. One example of digitalisation that is being increasingly applied in the infrastructure sector is digital twins, which can help assets to understand, predict and optimise the performance of both their assets and broader business.
Firstly, it's not a new concept, although the way digital twins are used today has certainly advanced into new realms of capability.
When Apollo 13 was launched in 1970, no one foresaw that one of the oxygen tanks would explode two days into the mission. However, a key to the rescue operation was that NASA kept a mirrored system of Apollo 13 on earth –a physical model of the spacecraft and its components. This allowed engineers on the ground to test possible solutions, simulating the conditions on board Apollo 13. While this was a physical twin rather than a digital one, the concept is the same.
Digital twins are a realistic digital representation of an infrastructure asset. A digital twin consists of a digital model of the physical structure and its behaviour, combined with data from sensors attached to the real-world asset. This model can start with an abstract linkage of systems or progress to a realistic, visual, three-dimensional model of an asset, or whole system that incorporates all of those systems into the visual model, giving the operators a real-time, virtual copy of their business. The 'fourth dimension' of time can be added, which allows the capture and use of historic data, or even projections for the future.
Digital twins are increasingly being used in large-scale infrastructure projects at airports, railways, electricity grids, wind farms and ports. They are used to optimise assets, improve maintenance and safety, increase valuation, and create new data-driven business models.
As a digital twin provides the organisation with a virtual copy of its physical asset, it's able to plug all the operational systems into the model, including the heating, lighting, security, waste, energy, telecoms, and more. Using this virtual world, the asset can test better maintenance practices, carry out scenario modelling, provide training to employees and review security measures. It's also able to carry out predictive analytics and maintenance.
While in the past higher costs meant using a digital twin only made sense on very high-value, discrete assets, as with many technology examples the capability of hardware and software has been steadily increasing while costs have been coming down. This means we're seeing cost-effective applications today that would not have made sense five years ago, and we expect this trend to continue.
Leading research company Gartner has predicted that 50% of large industrial companies will use digital twins by 2021 and that those organisations will gain a 10% improvement in the effectiveness of the asset.
Almost any industrial or physical infrastructure has the capability to be digitalised in one form or another, from the automation of discrete processes, all the way through a 4D digital twin. Governments in Europe, Asia and Australia are investing in digital twins for urban planning and real-time integrated monitoring of infrastructure. The UK has an ambitious initiative to create a national digital twin that will simulate the interaction of infrastructure.
Endeavour Energy, which a MIRA fund has invested in as part of a consortium under a 99-year lease, has built a three-dimensional model of its entire power grid and the physical items surrounding it, including trees and other objects that may cause obstructions.
Endeavour uses that model, combined with input data from aerial surveys to understand the health and status of the vegetation around the power grid, enabling it to better identify, for example, areas of potential bushfire risk. The information gathered allows Endeavour to carry out pre-emptive vegetation management, understanding the health and growth of the plants and trimming back trees where risk exists.
The Goethals Bridge, linking New York City and New Jersey, whilst not a full digital twin, is well along that spectrum, using multiple sensors along the bridge that track the condition of the road, the traffic status and the condition of the physical asset. This allows for better maintenance of the bridge over time and improved monitoring and dynamic operations of the bridge itself.

Road Race Diary - Super Lap Battle
GST Motor Sports Count Down To The Super Lap Battle
Related Video
Editor's Note
Torn, battered and bruised, the GST Motorsports Subaru GC8 rumbled into the paddock just completing its second run session of the day. Posting an impressive 1:50 lap time, the Subie managed to squeak into fourth place. The deafening roar of the boxer engine came to an abrupt halt as a handful of the team quickly went to work making the necessary adjustments on the Subie's suspension, while the rest focused on repairing the passenger-side front end that encountered damage on the track just seconds before. GOTO:Racing's Brian Lock, who is in charge of piloting the GST time attack machine, quickly unsheathed his helmet and yelled out the window, "Does anyone know our lap times?" Team/shop owner Mike Warfield quickly responded "1:50." As Lock analyzed the data from his run, the team continued to work on the vehicle in preparation for the next session while Mike attempted to keep the group organized and levelheaded, knowing the chaos that was sure to ensue throughout the day.
The story you are about to read is seen through the eyes of Mike Warfield as we turn back the hands of time and follow this team and driver as they prepare the GST Motorsports Subaru for the inaugural Super Lap Battle. Mike's personal diary is filled with many of the highlights as well as disappointments that make the world of motorsports what it is today. Nothing is as easy as it seems.
It all started with a phone call from Source Interlink Media's Elliot Moran back in August inviting us to compete in their annual Super Lap Battle at Buttonwillow Raceway on Nov. 7. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Source InterlinkMedia invite-only event, it's an event for the top time attack teams/cars in the U.S. where the best domestic-based U.S. and JDM teams are attracted. This year it was rumored that arguably the fastest time attack car in the world, the HKS CT230R Evo, would be in attendance.
Over the past two to three years Buttonwillow's CW13 track configuration has become the U.S. equivalent to the renowned Tsukuba track in Japan, where our times are used to measure and rank us in the U.S.
Our preparation began in late September on the way home from the Tuner Shootout event in Las Vegas after we went head-to-head with AMS's awesome Evo. At that event, we were beaten by just over a second on a 4.5-mile course and realized that while our car had been very successful at West Coast events, we were seriously underpowered when going up against cars like the AMS Evo. We were running a low-compression Cosworth motor with a Garrett GT30r turbo and knew that in order to be able to compete with the top cars we'd need to step up to the GT35r's horsepower. So the GST crew agreed that we needed to do something with the motor to help with the additional lag. This was sorted rather easily with a quick call to Nickolaus DiBlasi of JE Pistons where we had a custom set of 10:1 compression pistons for our Cosworth motor on the way.
Another issue we had been fighting since building the car was the balance between needing to run fairly wide sticky tires and our inability to run a suitable ride height due to the clearance issues the 275s presented us with. In stepped our driver Brian Lock of GOTO:Racing, who with much deliberation worked out a way to remove the material from the fenders allowing us to bring the cars ride height down to where we needed it. A quick search on the Internet and we were able to find a suitable bolt-on fender flare to keep the aesthetic impact at a minimum.
With the new motor built, we proceeded to dyno tune the car. The new piston and turbo setup didn't disappoint; we managed to make an additional 100 whp over what we were running-with no loss in spool and better shift response. Now we were ready to test the car and work out the fresh chassis setup with the new ride height.
With the Super Lap Battle less than two weeks away, the only track time we could find was at Thunderhill with the folks from Hooked on Driving. Although an HPDE day was less than optimal, it would prove good enough for a shakedown on the new motor, as well as provide us with some time to set up the chassis. The test day went without an issue and we felt comfortable that we only improved the car's overall performance. Brian was able to run consistent times in heavy traffic, reporting back that the car was much easier to drive with the newly improved chassis setup. We were ready for the Super Lap Battle.
With the remaining days prior to the event, it became one big blur of final prep. All fluids were changed, bodywork was cleaned up and before we knew it, it was the night before the event. We closed up shop, loaded the rig and set out for our three and a half hour drive to Buttonwillow. The crew and car arrived at the Motel 6 off of the I-5 at around 1 a.m. and bedded down for five hours of sleep so we could be at the track gates when they open at 7 a.m.
With our partners from GOTO:Racing, we got the rig setup and ready for the days activities and sent the car off to tech. Tech was a fairly straightforward process with the steward taking a quick look over the car and the log book. Now we were ready for the first practice session that would determine our run group.
With Brian settled in the car, the crew moved to the pit wall where we would communicate with him over the in-car radio system. The warm-up and first hot lap went without incident with Brian running a low 1:50. As Brian started to push things a little harder on the second hot lap, he overcooked his turn-in coming out of Talladega, which sent him straight off in excess of 120 mph. As he made his way back to the pits, the crew prepared themselves for the worst. Upon inspection, the damage while aesthetically bad, wasn't too bad mechanically with only the passenger side of the front splitter, fender and headlight damaged. As the crew thrashed to get the repairs complete prior to the first timed session, Brian went over the data from our AIM dash and reported that the spring rates we were running were too stiff for a bumpy track like Buttonwillow. He was struggling to keep on the gas with the amount of understeer created from bump correction during cornering.
With time to do no more than repair the damages to the car, we worked on softening the shocks as much as we could as well as taking out a little wing to help the car rotate a little better. During the first timed session, reports were coming in on some of the other competitors and to no surprise the HKS CT230R was running a low 1:44. If you haven't seen this car in person before, let me tell you that the engineering work is simply first-class. The attention to detail on every aspect of the car is awe-inspiring. You could quite easily imagine it equally at home on a concourse or racetrack-a shear work of art and every bit as fast as it looks. From what we could tell, the next fastest car was the Twins Turbo third-generation RX-7 with the AMS Evo a couple of tenths behind it and then us about five-tenths back. We needed to push harder in the next session.
As the day progressed, so upped the temperature. We felt confident we had improved the car and were ready to knock some time off our mid 1:49 that we set earlier and see if we could get the second place overall. We conceded that short of strapping a rocket to the car or finding a wormhole on the track there was no way we could be anywhere close to the now mid 1:43 that the HKS car was running.
As luck would have it, neither of the two cars in front of us were able to manage times as fast as they did in the first session, so we felt confident we could bring home second place. With Brian now out on track, we sat eagerly watching our stopwatches. His first hot lap was a low 1:50; things looked promising. The second lap was another mid 1:49. I radioed Brian to let him know his times and gave him some encouragement to try and clip the eight-tenths we needed for second place. Brian drove the car as hard as he could but our luck had run out with the setup being simply too stiff for the track. Brian unwillingly had to get off the power and fight the understeer too much; he was only able to run a low 1:49.
As the crew headed back to the rig to greet Brian, everyone agreed that considering the competition and having the ill-handling car, fourth place was nothing to be disappointed about. After all, we managed to go over a second faster than we've ever previously gone at this track.
With the rig all packed up and the team back on the road to the shop, we started to discuss what we needed to do to the car for the weekend's event, the Redline Time Attack Finals at Laguna Seca. We discussed how we would be able to make the car pass the strict 92dB sound limit, but that's another story. While this one didn't end with the win we all wanted, everyone was very encouraged with the way the crew and driver managed to keep the car on track and improve our times steadily over the course of the day. As the saying goes, "We'll get 'em next time!"

CARACAS, Venezuela – The American captain of a U.S. cargo ship was detained at a port in Venezuela early Thursday after three assault rifles were found on board, the U.S. Embassy said.
An embassy official said the captain of the Ocean Atlas was being held for an alleged infraction "involving documentation for three rifles carried on board as part of the ship's anti-piracy security package."
Fourteen other American crew members were still on board the ship, said the official, who agreed to discuss the arrest on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the details. The official didn't give the captain's name or hometown.
The 120-meter (396-foot) vessel docked in the western port of Maracaibo on Aug. 29. It is operated by Intermarine LLC. The Houston- and New Orleans-based company did not respond to a call seeking comment. Venezuelan Interior Ministry officials couldn't be reached for comment.
President Hugo Chavez announced last month that Venezuelan authorities detained another U.S. citizen and were interrogating him because they suspected him of being a "mercenary."
Chavez, a fierce critic of U.S. policies, said the man could be involved in a purported plot to destabilize the country if the opposition loses the Oct. 7 presidential vote. But the president did not provide any details regarding the man's suspected involvement in the alleged conspiracy.
The socialist leader said the man was arrested Aug. 4, when he was crossing into Venezuela from Colombia on a bus in the middle of the night. Chavez said officials became suspicious when they found a U.S. passport with entrance and exit stamps from countries including Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.
The detention of the two Americans could stoke long-standing tensions between Venezuela and the United States ahead of the presidential election, which is seen by many as the most difficult challenge Chavez has faced in his almost 14 years in power.

Reese speaks her piece. Shortly after news broke that Reese Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth were arrested and booked Friday, April 19 in Atlanta — Toth for suspected DUI, Witherspoon for disorderly conduct — the Oscar-winning actress released an apologetic statement about the shocking incident.
"Out of respect for the ongoing legal situation, I cannot comment on everything that is being reported right now. But I do want to say, I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said," Witherspoon, 37, told Us Weekly in a late Sunday statement. Married for two years, the actress and CAA agent, 41, were arrested and briefly jailed after a policeman pulled them over for erratic driving, with an agitated Witherspoon arguing with the officer as Toth (the driver) took a sobriety test.
The star continued in her statement: "It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. The
words I used that night definitely do not reflect who I am. I have nothing but respect for the police and I'm very sorry for my behavior."
According to the arresting officer's report from April 19, Witherspoon ignored his orders to remain in the vehicle during Toth's sobriety test, and argued angrily, "Do you know my name? . . . You're about to find out who I am."
The officer added in the report (first obtained by Variety) that the Legally Blonde actress "stated that she was a 'US citizen' and that she was allowed to 'stand on American ground.'"
"Mrs. Witherspoon also stated, 'You are going to be on national news.''" the officer's report continued. "I advised Mrs. Witherspoon that was fine."
After being booked at a nearby police station, the Hollywood couple was released around 3:30 a.m. Despite the drama, Witherspoon kept to her professional commitment on Sunday, attending the NYC premiere of Mud in NYC, where she wore a short black sheath, flashed a tiny smile and posed with costar Matthew McConaughey on the red carpet.
A court date is scheduled for Monday, April 22, although it may be rescheduled, according to reports.

Crosemend History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The history of the Crosemend family goes back to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It is derived from the family living in an area that was close to a wooden or stone cross, or a crossroads. The surname was originally derived from the word kross.
Early Origins of the Crosemend family
The surname Crosemend was first found in Somerset where some of the earliest records of the name include: Nicholas Crousman, Philip Crosman and Thomas Crosman are all listed there in the reign of Edward III. [1] Philip Crosman was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Somerset in 1327. [2]

Crosemend Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Crosemend include Crossman, Crosseman, Crosman, Croseman, Croixman, Croisman, Croxman, Croceman, Crossmen, Crossemen, Crosmen, Crossmann, Crosmann, Crouceman, Croiceman and many more.

Migration of the Crosemend family
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Crosemend or a variant listed above: William Crossman who settled in Virginia in 1637. John Crossman settled in Sutton and was one of the original purchasers of land from the Indians in the year 1639. John was originally from Taunton, Somerset, England. He had one known son, Robert.
