Often times when we think of renewable energy, the most obvious results attract us the most: reduced carbon emissions, cheaper energy, and improved air quality. While these are clearly crucial to the future success of our species, there remain other benefits that you might not think of when fighting for green power. Across the globe, a troubling number of people still do not have access to clean water, medical equipment, and other services that require energy.
Clean power is in a unique position to bring these essentials to people in developing countries, as they do not require the same massive infrastructural investments that a coal-burning, large scale power plant might, for example. For small villages without broad energy needs, solar panels used to power individual components can be more than enough.
In the Indian state of Odisha, a government run program that goes by the name OERDA (Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency) has taken up the challenge to spread the new wave of renewable energy to the more remote areas of its population. So far, the agency has brought solar power to 1620 villages, with a plan for 406 additional villages planned for this year. Of the 1620 already benefitting, 145 are inhabited by tribal people.
Many of these areas were previously unable to be reached by the centralized power plants of the surrounding locations, as geographically challenges were an impenetrable obstacle. This left the people of these remote areas with little access to clean drinking water, as they did not have an efficient means to obtain the water available to them. Through the use of solar powered pumps and tube wells, these villages were able to produce enough electricity to provide this basic human amenity to their people.

Today on PhysOrg I read about how they were building nanosized objects and 3D printing
Today on PhysOrg I read about how they were building nanosized objects and 3D printing
I will be exploring into the world of holographic photography!
Otherwise known as holography. This is a technique that allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed so that when an imaging system (a camera or an eye) is placed in the reconstructed beam, an image of the object will be seen even when the object is no longer present. The image changes as the position and orientation of the viewing system changes in exactly the same way as if the object were still present, thus making the image appear three-dimensional.
Wouldn't it be cool to have a 3D photograph? It'll just be like a picture on a newspaper from the world of Harry Potter. I think by far the easiest way to get started is to get a kit. You still need to setup everything in the kit… my idea is to figure out how this works and simplify it down to a point and shoot device. Then try to build another one. I want to create a device that allows people to easily take a holographic photo. First, I need to figure out how holographic photography really works.
This is the kit I will be invest it with. Thank you to Dr. Shodiev for letting me take a look at this. Check it out!
This is an analysis of the consequences from the OPERA experiment, which measured the speed of neutrinos to be travelling faster than light.
The OPERA experiment was an observation of muon neutrinos apparently travelling faster than light. The OPERA instrument, which stands for Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tRacking Apparatus, was used to measure the neutrinos. This was a paper published in September 2011, observing that muon neutrinos sent from CERN were travelling faster than light by a factor of roughly 1 in 40,000.

Trade Interceptor has announced the release of "Traders Gym", a professional trading simulator designed to help traders test their strategies on real past data, offering the possibility to simulate years of market replay in a short time.
This simulator allows traders to train and trade just like in real-market conditions, working with various currencies simultaneously, using various time frames, and testing different leverages.
As a result of the incorporation of built-in trade reports and trading intelligence analysis, Traders Gym also helps traders fine tune their strategies, day after day, to develop an edge on the market and improve their trading performance.
In the summer of last year, Trade Interceptor took the initiative to launch a fully mobile brokerage solution, demonstrating the company's focus on mobile-led ideology.
Many retail brokers worldwide have become reliant on offering a mobile trading solution to their clients as a generator of significantly more trading volume than if they only offered a desktop platform. From discussions within certain platform development and marketing professionals, LeapRate has recently highlighted that some companies may seek to move away from desktop platforms entirely, offering tablet and smartphone based solutions only, viewing this as the future for retail brokerage software.
Trade Interceptor has been involved in producing multi-broker mobile solutions for some years, however nine months ago the company announced that it has launched its own in-house retail FX brokerage, which places the emphasis entirely on mobile FX trading.
Traders Gym is a professional trading simulator available on mobile devices. It supports iOS, Android, Mac and Windows OS, thus allowing traders to use the trading simulator on both their desktop and mobile devices, while on the go.
"Traders Gym is part of our mission to build the best mobile platform for traders and we continue to lead the market by offering exclusive professional trading features" explains Rodolfo Festa Bianchet, CEO of Riflexo.
Testing and training is a fundamental aspect of online trading and Traders Gym fills a market need for a free, professional market-simulating tool, which can be used from anywhere. With Traders Gym traders can work on various accounts and keep track of their results and improvements at all times. As opposed to brokers demo accounts, Traders Gym accounts don't expire, giving traders the time to work on their trading technique before trading on the real market, and improve their skills continuously.

Are you a Godly friend? What are Godly friendships?
I grew up having many "friends", but I've grown to realize that they are not necessarily GODLY friends. There are 3 people that I call my "best friends", and even though they aren't all Christians, I can say that they are my truest friends. We've been friends since we were in junior high and still talk to this very day. Gradually, as I went to university and started working, I became shy and it was hard to make new friends. I didn't have people around me that I could call upon for help. But God had a plan for me. He wanted me to learn to have Godly friendships. I am so thankful that He led me to the Calvary Chapel Women's Retreat in Murrietta Hot Springs earlier this year.
During the retreat I met these wonderful young ladies who helped open my heart to more of God. We talked about getting together after the retreat ended and I can honestly say that I had my doubts. I remember when I was in school my "friends" and I talked about hanging out but it never happened. And then I ended up hurt because that was not what friends do. So it was only natural for me to have these negative thoughts about my new "friends". But this time I was proven so very wrong. My new friends initiated a get together the following week! I was so thrilled and excited and told my husband, "They really are different!".
As someone who is new in their walk with Christ, I learned a few valuable lessons on Godly Friendships at the retreat:
- A Godly friend cries when you cry, they support you when you are weak, they fellowship with you, they lend a hand whenever you need that extra help and they draw you closer to Jesus.
- Most importantly, they remind you of how important it is to have God in your life and to turn to Him first before others. They constantly share with you the good things God has done in their own lives and encourage you to seek Him and to rely on Him.
Are you a Godly Friend? What qualities do you look for in a Godly friend?
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. (Psalm 27:17)

Starbucks Staff Motivation Strategies
Starbucks has served as a milestone in the coffee industry and is a massive organization in terms of people employed and stores owned. At the current time it has revenue of $10.7 billion and owns 16,850 shops in 40 countries. Starbucks is clearly the world's top coffee retailer, it employs 137,000 employees or "partners" as it likes to call them. Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks, considers that 'the tip of success in Starbucks is not coffee but employees'. He constantly builds upon the working experience of employees, providing chances of promotion, and treating workers as working partners is their way to operate sustainability. He firmly believes that the spirit of Starbucks is employees and feels honored about the value of Starbucks employees. Many theorists believe that "it is necessary to have a perfect education and training policy for better performance in a company" (Michelli, 2006). Despite serving in many countries, Starbucks has a similar organizational structure; as a result, it does not take into account the cross cultural determinants. It has been criticized for its approach; also because, employees of some countries like UK are not as satisfied as employees from Poland and Germany, thus Starbucks must make use of cross-cultural determinants in order to improve its management methords. One of the most proficient theory, the Hofstede theory states that the motivational factors of every country are different and thus must be looked into before a company, such as Starbucks sets its motivational methods. Along with Hoftsede it talks about Management and Motivation in reference to the Grid/Group Theory by Douglas, which strives to classify different cultures in relation to being hierarchist, individualist, egalitarian and fatalist. It also talks about the 'Cultural Theory' and 'Organizational Theory' in relation to Starbucks. This research attempts to access these theories in reference to Starbucks, and its motivational methods across nations. It looks at a comparison between the way Starbucks company treats or must treat its employees across UK, Poland and Germany.
Brief Overview
The Starbucks Company is a vast and well constructed multi-national, which serves in 40 countries. It has to keep in mind various cross-cultural determinant while bringing in its motivational schemes. However, it has been criticized for not taking into account, cross-cultural determinants when building its management cultural across countries. It is often assessed, that the employees of countries like UK, seem to be less motivated than employees from Poland and Germany. This paper talks about all possible schemes in relation to motivational theories, that can be adopted by Starbucks,chiefly the Hofstede theory. The factors of this theory are highly relevant and can be implemented in various ways to improve performance.
The first factor, Power distance can be defined as "the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organizations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally" (Hofstede 1991, p. 28). UK and Germany, are ranked as a low power distance society, where the relationship between bosses and subordinated is of interdependence, treating each worker equally and calling them 'partners'. There, the managers of Starbucks are likely to place a greater importance on labors' rights as compared to managers in Poland, which ranks as a high power distance country. However, in Poland there is a hierarchical social system, thus, it is said that their 'ideal boss is a benevolent autocrat'.
Another factor of the Hofstede theory is Masculinity, the dominant values in society being material success versus femininity, caring for others and the quality of life. UK, Poland and Germany, are Masculine societies, driven by competition, achievement and financial success. In these countries, people's performance is highly valued and people 'live in order to work'. Starbucks too, beliefs in monetary based appraisals, it spends $300 million, on their employees' welfare, much more than 'they do on coffee beans'. Starbucks even gave its UK staff shares worth around ?4 million in their employee share scheme 'Bean Stock', followed by a Christmas cash bonus to staff worth ?1.5 million.
Uncertainty Avoidance, is another of Hofstede's theories, it classifies countries into being high in Uncertainty Avoidance; having strict rules and resistance to changes like Germany and Poland and low in Uncertainty Avoidance; having fewer rules and being welcome to changes like UK. This is an important factor to look into a country when bringing in new innovations, and the planning of how the change has to be implemented. Managers of UK can bring in new ideas easily and with more enthusiasm while managers in Germany and Poland have to bring in changes subtely because people resist from breaking orthodox norms uneasy. Starbucks went through many changes when it merged with Giornale, it was welcoming to his employees' involvement and included them in every change, by 1987, and employees at Starbucks had begun buying into the changes.
The theory includes a comparison between countries which have more, individualism everyone is expected to look after themselves and their immediate family against collectivism, and cultures in which people are bound into strong and cohesive groups. UK, Germany and Poland, are individualistic societies, where the route to happiness is through individual accomplishment. Here the company, in order to motivate its employees has to come up with schemes to provide them and their families' advantages. The culture in Starbucks is of mutual advantage, thus workers usually do a fruitful job but all these factors must be kept in mind. Understanding all the cross-cultural determinants including these is crucial for a company which serves such a wide range of cultures; their observation along with development on these lines, must all be looked into, in order to bring out the best results.
Another theory is the Cultural Theory' which talks about the importance of culture, stating that is is too 'important to be left undefined and unrefined, and analysts need a deeper awareness of the anthropological and sociological frameworks' when refining their management attitudes. It outlines the effect on culture in relation to common objectives, employee motivation and loyalty. Setting of roles, leadership, innovation, setting incentives, tolerance and accountability. The setting of the corporate cultural is extremely subjective of the countries cultural as a whole.
The Grid/Group theory is another theory based on cultural determinants, created by Mary Douglas, in 1996. It strives to study cultural relativism, which can be increased through a classification system taking into account 'moral system, worldviews and ideologies'. This classification is built into two axes, based on individualism versus collectivism, including isolate/fatalist, hierarchist, individualist and sectarian groups. Each type is based on different classifications, power paradigms, moral values and individuality. In this paper, it is used to analyze, the classification of different cultures, such as UK, Germany and Poland into these categories, observing where their general workers fall, taking into account their employee, culture, market and forms of hierarchy.
The paper also talks about Organizational Culture Theory which is based on performance, 'organization effectiveness, employee commitment, employee satisfaction, culture type, culture strength and culture congruence'. This theory is talked about in relation to Poland, Germany and UK; assessing them based on all these assesses their management and motivational factors. Even though Starbucks operates in different countries, its organization culture is often the same. This can be a harmful strategy, as due to differing cultural determinants, the company must change its strategies relatively. If this is not done, the motivation of employees can be lowered and the management can fail to do its job. Thus, this paper talks about all these theories and the possibilities that they provide to Starbucks, in modifying its strategies based on varying cross-cultural determinants.
This paper is set to analyze and evaluate the cross cultural determinants of Poland, UK and Germany, in order to find out the best ways to motivate the employees of those countries. It attempts to Find out the cross cultural determinants of these societies and the way the employees of these countries are treated.
The Prime methodology used will be questionnaires that will be filled out by Starbucks employees across these countries. The questionnaire will be based on the Organizational Energy Questionnaire from 'fully charged' written by Heike Bruch, which is an instrument to measure a company's energy state. The questions will include if the employees like what they do, do not have much drive feel relaxed in their job, feel angry in their job, feel enthusiastic in their jobs, have no desire to make something happen, speculate about the real intentions of management, have real care about company's fate, are efficient in conducting work, behave in destructive manner, go out of their way to make company succeed and if they feel discouraged in their jobs. All these questions will convey about the general state of employees and their will be a separate questionnaire to observe the importance of cross-cultural determinants.

Northrop Grumman has been awarded an order to support embedded Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System Pre-Phase 1 modernization efforts.
The Military GPS User Equipment program is developing M-Code-capable GPS receivers, which are mandated by Congress after fiscal year 2017 and will help to ensure the secure transmission of accurate military signals.
Under the cost-plus-fixed-fee order valued at $4.8 million from the Joint Service Systems Management Office, Northrop Grumman will evaluate new GPS receivers' modes of performance, including M-Code and Selective Availability Anti-spoofing Module.
Additionally, the company will perform trade studies, assess the state of development of MGUE for upcoming applications and contribute to architecture development for next-generation GPS/inertial navigation systems.
"We are honored to help shape the next generation of navigation systems that will modernize the GPS infrastructure and keep our warfighters safer," said Bob Mehltretter, vice president, navigation and positioning systems business unit, Northrop Grumman Mission Systems. "We are committed to using our navigation systems expertise to develop a solution that offers dependable and accurate positioning, navigation and timing information."
The updated GPS/inertial navigation system will also comply with the Federal Aviation Administration's NextGen air traffic control requirements that aircraft flying at higher altitudes be equipped with Automatic Dependence Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out by January 2020. ADS-B Out transmits information about an aircraft's altitude, speed and location to ground stations and to other equipped aircraft in the vicinity. The modernized system is expected to be available for platform integration starting in 2018.

Friends and Colleagues,
I've been reading again Thoreau's Wild Fruits. It begins:
"Most of us are still related to our native fields as the navigator to undiscovered islands in the sea. We can any afternoon discover a new fruit there which will surprise us by its beauty or sweetness."
Ecological Immersion is about discovering sweetness. And the August session will take us to one of my favorite places at Hitchcock Nature Center. The streamside habitat we will explore with our guides Neal Ratzlaff and Eric Scholar is particularly fertile and verdant, standing sharp contrast to the higher climes we've previously enjoyed. It bears a particular sweetness.
Visit www.newtreeschool.org to review details of the August 24th EIP. It is important that you let me know by Wednesday the 21st that you plan to attend. I will have special instructions for those who register.
You will love this session. Just let me know. jackphillipsrca@gmailcom

"Calvin's literary corpus is well known, with around one hundred discrete volumes published from the time he arrived in Geneva in 1536 until his death twenty-eight years later. During the 1550s, Calvin's literary output ranged from 100,000 to a remarkable 250,000 published words per year.
Late nights spent writing at his desk by candlelight or long days spent dictating from bed inevitably took a toll on his health and spirits: 'I get so tired from that endless writing that at times I have a loathing for it, and actually hate writing,' Calvin complained to Bullinger in 1551.
But true religion needed to be defended in print as well as from the pulpit. 'I would be a real coward if I saw God's truth being attacked and remained quiet without a sound.'"
–Scott M. Manetsch, Calvin's Company of Pastors: Pastoral Care and the Emerging Reformed Church, 1536-1609 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013), 225-226.

The accident was reported just before 11:30 a.m. Saturday on the northbound 14 Freeway at Agua Dulce Canyon Road.
CHP officers say a semi-truck collided with a sedan parked on the side of the freeway. The impact caused the car to strike two people standing on the side of the road.
A rescue helicopter that was flying over the area landed and then transported the two victims to a local hospital. The CHP says one victim was pronounced dead at the hospital. The condition of the second victim is not known.
Officers say the truck kept going after the crash. It's not clear if the driver knew they had hit another vehicle. Someone followed the semi-truck, which was eventually stopped by the CHP.
The crash closed all but one of the northbound lanes for more than an hour, which caused a major traffic backup. The CHP says the traffic jam and scorching heat caused between 30 and 40 vehicles to overheat.

On November 4, Marcel van den Brink will join more than 900 other Fred's Team participants at the starting line of the TCS New York City Marathon. They will not only be trekking 26.2 miles but also raising funds and awareness for cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
Dr. van den Brink, who is Head of the Division of Hematologic Malignancies at MSK, has run marathons with Fred's Team since 2005. The group was founded in 1995 in honor of Fred Lebow, who co-founded the New York City Marathon and was treated for brain cancer at MSK.
Weeks before this year's marathon, Dr. van den Brink spoke with us about why the cause is so important to him — and the groundbreaking advances that have come out of Fred's Team's efforts.
How did you get involved with Fred's Team?
I've been running marathons for a long time — since I was in medical school 31 years ago. When I was hired by MSK in 1999, I received some research funding from Fred's Team. A few years after I received that grant, I joined Fred's Team and have been running with them every year since. I run the marathons in Chicago, New York City, and Boston every year with Fred's Team.
What inspires you most about your fellow Fred's Team members?
I've always been amazed by the spirit of Fred's Team runners, seeing them on the bus on the morning of the marathon or at events before. You hear that they're running for a friend or a loved one who went through cancer. I see so many different people running — folks with busy jobs and busy lives from different walks of life — and they're all dedicated to this one cause.
Your job at MSK must keep you busy. How do you find the time to train for a marathon?
Efficiency is key. I have a simple structure. I try to have no meetings past I live less than five minutes from my office at the Zuckerman Research Center, so when I get home, I immediately go for a run. Then I have dinner with my family and finish up any more work. I try to run most days during the week and do a long run on Sunday. I usually go along the Hudson River up to the George Washington Bridge, or I'll run over to the East River and down around Battery Park and then back up alongside the Hudson to Central Park.
I also travel a lot to conferences. Running is fantastic in that regard: I can wake up a little earlier than usual for a conference and go for a run. It's really nice to be able to put a pair of shoes in your suitcase and see places all over the world just by running.
How have you seen Fred's Team fundraising affect your research at MSK?
As head of the Division of Hematologic Malignancies, I can say firsthand that Fred's Team funding benefits our research. Every year Fred's Team distributes funds to our service chiefs so they can decide how to allocate it within their groups.
Fred's Team provides critical money for a variety of programs. For example, investigator-initiated trials are especially difficult to fund. These studies come about because of an idea by one researcher or a group of researchers. With funding from Fred's Team, we can start these studies and see them through.
MSK is really in a unique position among major academic centers and other cancer centers to benefit from an amazing fundraising effort like Fred's Team. MSK is devoted to translating basic scientific discoveries into therapies that benefit people with cancer. When it comes to research, everyone here is asking the same questions about any new idea or finding: How is this relevant to cancer? And how can we bring it to the clinic to benefit patients? We have the talent and mind-set at MSK to develop novel therapies.

I've watched many library tutorials over the past year and found them to be too stuffy. I wanted to try to create something a little more natural, something with personality. I didn't want to focus on "information literacy" concepts or the proper way to use library resources, but rather to provide a quick and dirty here's how you can get what you need video clips. Ultimately, I failed. They just didn't capture the vibe I wanted. I guess that's what happens when you don't have a script and basically just wing it. I'm planning to rerecord them over the break before Fall semester and add a few more topics. I'm also pulling together non-library clips that might be of interest, for example a MatLAB tutorial, product and design demonstrations, news clips on alternative fuel sources, and other subject appropriate material.
Here is my proof of concept:
Why use YouTube?
I wanted to experiment with creating a video community, rather than just a listing of tutorials on the library web site. From observation, students don't use or know how to navigate the library site, so why bury video clips on there?
YouTube is cool because it allows you to create a channel. This particular channel is intended for students at Georgia Tech who are studying Mechanical Engineering. It gives me a place to post and receive comments, as well as free hosting of an unlimited amount of videos. The only restriction is that each clip has to be less than 100 MB and under 10 minutes long.
While YouTube is very popular, I am not expecting students to think, hmmm, I need to find journals, maybe there is a video here to help me. Instead I am promoting the channel concept. Whenever I respond to student email, I include a suggestion that they check out the videos I created to help them do research. I've also had it added to the ME orientation materials (from the school, not the library.) And of course, I've promoted it to faculty. The initial reaction was favorable. The faculty like that it is tailored toward their discipline and I'm hoping they will suggestion future topics or searches. For example, if there is an assignment to write a paper on autonomous automobiles, I could provide a customized clip on that subject. One professor is adding the link to his syllabus along with my AIM. So I am cautiously optimistic for the Fall.
The great thing about the videos though is that YouTube is simply a distribution channel. I own the master copy, which can be converted into various formats and used in other environments. For example, videos could be emailed, loaded into WebCT / BlackBoard, added to the library or a professor's site, burned on to a CD or flash drive, etc. Once the product is created, you can reuse it in various ways. Plus they are quick to make. Each clip was conceived, recorded, edited and produced in about 45 minutes.
Technical Considerations
I previously wrote about some screen casting experiments . I used Camtasia, which is reasonably priced for academic institutions, and found it be very easy and straightforward. The quality of the clips on YouTube is weak, but that is not due to Camtasia. The videos (pre-upload) were QuickTime and roughly about 33MB for 5 minutes. The other formats (wmv, avi, flash) did not provide the same quality. The screens look fuzzy on YouTube; I had to rely on the Zoom feature to make these readable. I know a lot of folks (library people) might complain that the screens don't look perfect, but I'm ok with that. I'd rather sacrifice a little quality in order to build the concept. Plus it's free hosting!
Final Thoughts
These tutorials are not the be-all end-all on doing research. As I noted, they are a quick little overview, meant to supplement email, IM, and telephone conversations. It gives students a visual – ok, I go here and enter my terms and click on the sfx button to get the article, ah, ok . The technology is only going to improve. Eventually we will have crystal clear online videos, but don't wait until then. I know there is a lot of debate about the value/usage of library tutorials, that's why I say, take them outside of the library domain, and couple them with other interesting and cool videos and see what happens. I will often include a 1-2 minute video clip (which takes less than 10 minutes to make) with my answers to reference requests and the students are usually very appreciative. Now I am going to apply that on a larger level and see what happens. Next up, channels for Computer Science and Distance Learning.

Hey James, thanks so much for doing this with me!
You're very welcome, Kitty. Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, but you've caught me at a familiar juncture in an illustrator's life, a sort of post-art school malaise coupled with the pressure of trying to be a professional artist. There's also a bit of the insecurity and self-consciousness of youth and the search for coherent artistic identity as I divide my time between scratching my head and painting. Again, I'm so sorry you had to wait so long since I last promised you this interview.
JJ, you're too cute, I forgive you! So. What are you all about? How long have you been doing this art thing?
I've been drawing since I can remember. Motivation came from the praise I received my first grade teacher as she paraded me across the hall to second grade to show off a drawing of an airplane I did in crayon. I thought I was so clever about the perspective of the wing on the other side of the plane.*sigh* I think my grasp of perspective is about the same now as it was it then, thanks to art school. Now, motivation comes from something much more primal--hunger. I was going to say girls, but being an illustrator, I find that I think about food now more than girls.
As I look through your portfolio, I listen for the "feelings" that I get. (I know that probably sounds kinda weird) I definitely get more emotion from your drawings. What's your favorite medium to work with?
Oils poses an element of danger so it's immediately sexy. I use acrylics in my sketchbook, and I like photoshop as well, but I really don't have a favorite. So it is really up to the imagery and the design of the picture to tug at your heart strings and stir up a melody of "feelings."
If you're just creating something for yourself, (as opposed to commissioned work) where do you get your ideas from? How do you begin?
There are so many things that are visually incredible, like the bright colors of kids running around, beating each other up in the park, or that indecipherable white in the clouds in a dry, night sky. So the hardest part, for me, is getting over a sense of smallness I feel in the face of the beauty we are confronted with everyday, and mustering up the nerve to do something halfway meaningful. I believe that limitations are liberating in a way, that one choice or mark can sort of guide you along the way to finishing a picture. What ends up happening is frustrating, suprising, disgusting, and rapturous.
I was so happy to see the most recent addition to your site - your sketchbook from your visit to Austria. I enjoy reading about the story behind the drawings. I'm curious - What is it that you write on the sketches? (and how did you wind up in Austria?)
Thanks Kitty, I'm so glad you like those drawings. The little scribbling on the drawings are just journal entries. If I could, I would write backwards and in Italian, to spare the reader boring tales of love lost. You see, I met this amazing Austrian girl in China the summer of '01. She was very nice, but it didn't work out when I saw her in her a few months later in her native country. While I was there, I spent most of my days alone drawing while she was studying for her law exams. Idle hands and all that...
Your studio looks like a delightful place to work from. Is that your home also? Do you have any pets? Lovers? Kids?
My studio/home is in a renovated industrial space in Greenpoint. They did such an amazingly clean job, it almost looks like Martha Stewart had a hand in it. The light and the view is amazing, but the manager of a glue factory across the street tell me that they used to manufacture cyanide in this building. We also get cockroaches the size of chimychangas, but it's worth it.
I have two roommates: one is a 3rd year student at the School of Visual Arts, and the other is getting her MFA in Illustration at SVA.
Finally, my last question of choice - what do you do for fun? How do you relax JJ?
I play the trumpet. I just bought a harmon mute which makes that corny "wah-wah" sound. It's just so incredible.
Thanks again JJ, you rock!!

JJ has created so many incredible works of art, I had a difficult time choosing which thumbnails to show you... you must visit and see for yourself! ~Kitty

An article by Alastair Dalton, the Scotsman's transport correspondent, has caused Edinburgh's cyclists to grind their gears. Dalton is usually a reasonable chap whose preferred method of urban travel is cycling. He now writes about the bad blood between the two tribes – cyclists and motorists (of course many people are both) when they share the same space:-
For some drivers, seeing cyclists running red lights, riding on pavements and not having lights sparks fury. But some cyclists retort that not only are some motorists guilty of similar offences, the potential impact of them doing the same is much greater.
Just because some drivers break laws does not mean it's ok for cyclists to do so too, believing that for them there are unlikely to be any consequences.
The roads are an unequal place, errant drivers are far more likely to kill or injure cyclists than vice versa, and the focus should be on educating them to give cyclists more respect.
In my opinion - and some riders will vehemently disagree - the way to do that is for cyclists to be beyond reproach themselves. The inconvenient truth is that cyclists need drivers to change their ways more than vice versa.
Being put in danger by a driver fuming at the bad behaviour of a cyclist who is not you is of course highly unjust, even if it's psychologically true. Also, does that work for other road users? Pedestrians, eyes on smart phones, walk into the road – does that mean Pedestrian Smart Phone puts Hobbling Old Lady, who is a little slow on a pedestrian crossing, at greater risk from a cross driver?
Bad cycling annoys me as well, partly because it is bad, and dangerous, and sometimes scary. And yes, because it gives us all a bad name. But it's infuriating to think that way. Making comparisons with minorities/women who have to be twice as good to succeed is bleh for urban cyclists who are mostly from a socially privileged group. But in those terms, it is the driver who is seen as the norm, the judge, the one who sets the standards, the cyclist the deviant.
Drivers do get angry with other drivers texting, passing too close, tail gating, not indicating and otherwise driving badly and dangerously. However they never think "this reflects on my class/group" because they don't think of themselves as a class/group except when their privileges are threatened. Then they get as furious as a grandee in the early twentieth century having his income tax increased and death duties slapped on his stately home. That's when a driver suddenly become the hard-pressed motorist, unreasonably discriminated against. It's the howl of the unthinkingly privileged.
Some cyclists behaving badly is often used as an excuse for not spending money on providing infrastructure for them. As often said, no other transport group is required to behave itself before being provided for. Air fuel duty is not increased because of drunken idiots on aeroplanes and public transport isn't cut with the idea of this being one in the eye for louts and thugs on buses.
Cyclists have miniscule amounts spent on their provision. When it comes to transport, they are at the bottom of the pile. In transport terms they are the poor and lowly, and except in the tenets of Christianity, the poor and lowly are not treated with respect. If cyclists were universally well behaved they would get no more money spent on them. They would then be the grateful pauper, who knows his place and who still gets more kicks than ha'pence. If they had good, well-designed infrastructure, and their place in the hierarchy of urban travellers, i.e. below pedestrians but well above cars, they would be treated with the respect that affluence receives. The errant ones among them might even behave better, and their misbehaviour would not be tutted over as an example of the undeservingness of all of their kind.

Considering just how top secret all information is around the new Batman movie its a hard thing to imagine but yes without any spolier warnings IMDB have posted on their website the ending to the Batman movie.
First we want to let you know that there are going to be no spoilers in this article. Since its been ruined for us we dont want the same for you!
Since the tragic end of Heath Ledger recently IMDB has been posting all the news from the Associated Press directly. What they included on their daily Movie/TV news page is nothing short of giving away the ending to the movie. The article called "Australia Mourns Ledger Loss" has an interview with a movie producer by the name of Clint Morris. Included in his quotes are statements that give no doubt about what happens to The Joker in The Dark Knight and what happens at the end.
For those who do want to read the spoiler it can be found here. Half way into the paragraph. As you can see it doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. For a set of movies where everything is kept secret to the point where fake production titles are being used we can imagine that Warner Bros will be talking to IMDB very soon.
We don't want to spoil you purposefully or anything, but just in case IMDB takes it down, we present before you the news as it is on IMDB:

In 1997, FAITH MATTERS™ launched as a 30-minute weekday radio program featuring Leith Anderson's weekly teaching at Wooddale Church. This format reached a small, loyal audience during its 2-year life span. During this time, the trend in radio changed from longer formats to more "sound-bite" spots for content programming, more along the lines of two minutes as opposed to 30 minutes.
After conducting a survey of area radio station managers (both secular and Christian) and considering the results of that survey, Faith Matters was re-launched in a shorter, two-minute format, and in August 1999 Faith Matters hit the airwaves. In its first year as a two-minute broadcast, Faith Matters aired on over 50 radio stations nationwide, via Northwestern Productions' SkyLight Network and other local stations as well as on the internet.
Radio broadcasting continued to move toward even shorter breaks in programming in order to mitigate listener loss. Faith Matters adapted to this challenge by producing a daily one-minute program called Faith Minute. Each program stands alone and is intentional about encouraging believers in their walk with the Lord, introducing Christ and Christian values to those who do not yet have a relationship with him, and equipping all who listen with a deeper faith.
In 2008, with the new one-minute format in hand, the Faith Matters Advisory Board adopted a strategy of reaching a secular audience by purchasing broadcasting time on regional sports stations. In 2009, Faith Matters forged a relationship with the Minnesota Twins and was featured as Faith Minute in the 5th inning of each of the 162 Minnesota Twins radio broadcasts across the 80-station Twins Radio Network. The Minnesota Twins management team shared with the Board that the volume of listener comments they received regarding the Faith Minute broadcasts were overwhelmingly positive and far exceeded any other campaign they had aired, past or present.
The Faith Matters ministry continues through the Faith Matters transcripts and audio on faithmatters.wooddale.org.

Meet Phoebe Silva
SoCal born and bred, Phoebe Silva started her music life as a child playing classical violin. Later she dove into musical theater in Philadelphia and New York City. For the past few years Phoebe has been cementing her place in the LA music scene and we are so excited to have her play at our show this Saturday at The Hotel Cafe!
CGCM: You have been a part of duets and bands in the past - what made you decide to step out on your own to pursue a solo career?
Phoebe: Honestly, a desire for creative freedom. I guess that's pretty cliche for any artist! I love being part of a band, and I love collaborating. I have an insane pace when it comes to creative ideas, I write every day and I tend to want to move faster and with more intensity than is usually possible in a creative democracy. It takes more time and effort to coordinate a group than to be the architect of my own schedule/creative trajectory. Also not being tied to one main project means I'm more free to do lots of session work which is partly a passion and partly a way I pay the bills. I find I'm happiest and most fulfilled when I have different outlets for different aspects of my creativity. I like to spread myself around.
CGCM: Who are your musical influences?
Phoebe: I grew up listening to jazz (my dad is a huge fanatic), 80's pop and classical music (from mom), oldies stations and musical theater (all me.) I also loved the 90's alt-folk/pop female singer songwriters I grew up listening to. I was/am a huge fan of Fiona Apple, Ben Folds, Sarah MacLachlan, and Jewel's early work. I find my songwriting largely influenced by jazz standards and classic early 20th century American songwriting... the Gershwin's, Harold Arlen, and then also classic folk and country writers like Willie Nelson, Hank Williams and Dolly Parton. I surprised myself a bit when I started writing songs and realized I had so many old influences, because I love contemporary pop, R&B and the new Americana/folk artists than bend genres. But I have a degree in musical theater and studied the heck out of early 20th century music so I don't know why that surprised me.
CGCM: If you had to pick one positive and one negative aspect to being a musician in Los Angeles, what would those be?
Phoebe: Positive: community. I've found a greater sense of community here than anywhere else I've lived, and I've lived a lot of places. There is such a spirit of camaraderie and collaboration here and I love it so much. On the flip side, there is a LOT of saturation in the indie music scene so it can be tough to get noticed. That, and it's so freaking expensive to live here I can't stand it. Tough to make money as a musician in LA unless you're a session musician, so I'm super grateful to be both an artist and a session player (as a violinist.)
CGCM: What's next?
Phoebe: I'm finishing up my second single "Strong Enough" that will come out on Valentine's Day. Similar to my first single "The Best Thing!" that came out in December, it's a brassy, sassy, bluesy retro-feeling tune. I've also got my first music video for "The Best Thing!" coming out later this month. After that I have plans to record a ton of new songs I wrote last year, leaning way more into my introspective folk side. I'm super excited to roll those out and surprise people with the change in tone and style!

Do you enjoy waiting in line? Two minutes are ok, right? What if your bus, the doctor, the airport check in, the checkout queue have you waiting much longer than that? It can be really frustrating. Sometimes it feels like your life is just slipping away minute by minute with nothing to do but wait. Take some work with you. You will find yourself engrossed in your work that you
won't be bothered, or even notice that the time is slipping away. You will also find at least one person who admires your work and may even strike up a conversation about what it is you're doing.
Other things you can do while waiting include reading a book, hand embroidery, word searches or puzzles and playing games on your phone.
To be even more productive while waiting you could:
Do online banking
Write your shopping list
Phone a friend (particularly one you haven't caught up with in a long time)
Make up a song, poem or story
Plan the menu for a week, with the supplies you already have at home
Write a letter (sure, be prepared by always having a little bit of paper and a pen to hand)
If you are waiting in an office environment like at the doctor or hairdresser, you will usually find magazines that you can read, and who knows what new useful information you might find.
Here's a fun thing my sister and I do when we know we are going to have to be waiting somewhere, be it in a queue, a bus, at the doctor, or some place else: we decide on something (or some body- part) that we are going to be looking out for and then we just have fun just looking while we're waiting! We might choose 'shoes' as the thing we are 'looking out for' on our bus journey for example. Imagine the giggles we have when we see some shoes that we'd never be caught dead in! Some days we are looking at people's noses! Lots of laughs to be had before it's eventually our turn, and most of all we didn't
even notice the time slipping away while we were waiting. Try it! You may choose to look at smiles, hairstyles, jewellery, handbags, posture etc. You'll be so engrossed, you won't even notice that you're waiting patiently.
Also when I've found myself waiting, if ever I'm about to get impatient I just remind myself that at least where I am it's safe. Lots of people have been too impatient while waiting, rushed away, and then met in nasty accidents! Imagine as well what the wait must be like for refugees seeking solace somewhere else! Does your waiting compare? I'm sure it doesn't. So have the attitude that you've been required to wait for a reason.
What will you choose to do the next time you are required to wait? Take one of my ideas to be productive, have fun and relax while waiting, or choose to have a positive outlook. You will be a calmer, much more pleasant person to deal with.
I really like the tips in waiting patiently
Theses ideas are very practical. One thing, if the waiting environment is comfortable, I have no problem.
Waiting is one thing that we all hate. Thanks to cell phones we have a distraction at least instead of staring at strangers. Lol. Even though people watching is pretty fantastic.

The Porcupine's Quill: A Satire Column

the satire column
Porcupine's Quill
June 5, 2011
News Item: U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner (Dem., N.Y.) was found to have
been exchanging sexually explicit twitters with
numerous young women
lewd photo of himself twittered to 21-year old Gennette Nicole Cordova, a
Seattle college student, was mistakenly sent to all 40,000 of his followers.
I am a little wiener, a little piglet ... and like any other little wiener, I dream of
being a large bratwurst, a giant boar - now, I know to some I already am ... a
huge bore, I mean -- but look at it this way they started in the Second World
War and they are still fighting it -- The Battle of the Bulge ... only, now they
are calling it the Great Bulge Controversy.
What's wrong, I ask you, if a little wiener chases a little brat? What a fuss
about such a little thing? As if it's the first time ... not for me it's not ... ha!
ha! I am following 198 of these brats, so why not? Yeah, I admit it. I sent
one of these chickadees, a dickachee, a humdinger, I mean a hamdinger
looking for a peekaboob. But the brat squealed ... What a pig?
What's wrong, I ask you, if a little wiener chases a pair of buns -- hot dog,
that's me ... jumping jack rabbit! holy schamoly! an effing frankfurter, mustard
and a pickle on the side.
That's me! a pickle on the side in a bulge, I mean a bulge on the side in a
pickle, a tight pickle by the look of it ... trussed up, swaddled knackwurst ...
twittering knackers ... I am done ... and not an effing peekaboob in return.
What a brat?

The idea that pink is a girl's colour is a fallacy. In fact, in the early 1900s blue was considered delicate and girly; pink, bold and strong, for boys. Thankfully, today men can once again rock this floral hue without derision. Getting a negative comment for, say, a pink polo shirt is about as likely as being eaten by a shark while swimming off Skegness.
That doesn't mean though that it's easy to style. If, like most of men, you spend your days in the relatively serious tones of navy and black, breaking out into brighter colours can present a real challenge.
Pair with deep, earthy colours
What you need is one very simple styling trick. Take the outfit above, here we've toned down the pink a notch by dressing it with deep, earthy colours. The forest green is especially good at balancing pinky pastel hues, and if a jacket is too heavy for the weather, you could always wear a khaki chino for the same effect.
Style tip: Add a pop of colour with your socks or belt for a suitably summery look. Don't go overboard though, when it comes to the accessories, pick one colour and stick to it.
Lift it up with neutral tones
Now that you've mastered toning down, it's time to try the complete reverse and make pink the focus of your outfit. We've done this here with white shorts and trainers, but it'll work just as well in any neutral tone, such as cream or light grey.
What's important is that none of the other colours fight the bold pink – it's a strong enough choice on its own without adding anything to the mix that'll make people feel queasy. Accessories should be kept subtle as well, think black or brown depending on your choice of footwear.
Style tip: While a white trainer will go with just about anything, it can be a tad too informal for summer drink with the in-laws or a work picnic. Why not swap for a deck shoe for that smart St-Tropez feel? A brown or a navy will work a treat.
Go all out (sort of)
Congratulations, you've made it past the first two levels of styling pink. You're nearly a black belt in summer colours. All there is to do now is pass the final challenge: The Full Monty.
Yes, an all-pink outfit is an option. Not only that, it's damn stylish and makes for a perfect holiday look. Here we've balanced earthy green with a clean white to create a beach look that even Baywatch's Mitch Buchannon would be jealous of. On top of that, we've added some stylish espadrilles (Leonardo Dicaprio's favourites nonetheless). Now for the cherry on the cake: a dirty Martini or five as the sun sets.
Style tip: Keep an eye on your skin tone. If you're light-skinned with a particularly fleshy complexion, the worst thing you can do is to match the pink of your shorts to that of your legs. It'll look like you're 'Porky Pigging' (dressed on the top half, naked on the bottom) and could well lead to troubled glances or at worst, your arrest. Not a good look.

Download | Documentation | Installation | Examples & Applications | FAQ
Pyrple parses RDF/XML, N3, and N-Triples. It has in-memory storage with API-level querying, experimental marshalling, many utilities, and is small and minimally interdependent. It can do graph isomorphism testing, rule application, etc.
Source code: pyrple-2004-06-06.tar.gz (alpha)
You can also browse the source via HTTP. The hoot OWL Syntax Checker and RDFe schema-aware RDF editor are implemented using Pyrple.
Minimal whilst the API is in flux. There's some in the source documentation directory.
Requirements: Python 2.3 or later. On non-Windows boxen:
$ wget http://infomesh.net/pyrple/pyrple-2004-06-06.tar.gz $ tar -zxvf pyrple-2004-06-06.tar.gz $ su -c mv pyrple-2004-06-06 /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pyrple
On windows boxen:
There are some applications built on top of Pyrple which you can play around with right now:
More to come soon. For example, I've a series of utilities being worked on which includes scripts such as the following:
#!/usr/bin/python from pyrple import Graph, Var, Triple from pyrple.namespaces import FOAF, VAR QueryTriples = (Triple(VAR.someone, FOAF.knows, VAR.person), Triple(VAR.person, FOAF.name, VAR.name), Triple(VAR.person, FOAF.homepage, VAR.homepage)) def main(uri): foaf = Graph(uri=uri) query = Graph(triples=QueryTriples) for result in foaf.query(query): print result[VAR.name], result[VAR.homepage] if __name__=="__main__": import sys main(sys.argv[1])
This is a question that eikeon's probably asking. Pyrple is, in fact, the lastest evolution of a series of RDF APIs that I've been working on for a couple of years, starting with SWIPT and moving through Eep. It's been in continual development, but the last public release that I've made of any API was over a year ago, and pyrple reflects such a significant change in the code that there's maybe only 1% or less of code from a year ago.
I think that pyrple will tend to be less interdependent, and more hackish than RDFLib. Generally, if you're picking an RDF API, you should go with RDFLib. But if you don't mind getting your hands dirty, and you want something that's small and handy, I think that pyrple should at least be something you want to check out. And it's a nicer colour.
Why not?
If you've any comments or feedback, please don't hesitate to contact me: you can either email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, or speak to me on IRC as sbp on irc.freenode.net (on #rdfig, #sbp, and #foaf). IRC is preferred at the moment.Waxing homepage: Sean B. Palmer

|Michael Feinstein and Dame Edna in All About Me
Photo: Joan Marcus
The premise of the new mutual Broadway outing for the two is that they were originally each scheduled to come to Broadway with a show entitled All About Me and It's All About Me. After a much publicized, and most likely staged spat, the two were convinced to combine the shows after theatre owners told them they couldn't have both theatres and would need to combine their shows.
It starts when you walk into the theatre and are given a Playbill with Dame Edna on the cover and your companion for the evening is given a Playbill with Michael Feinstein on the cover. It carries through to the inside of the book as well. The one with Dame Edna only has Dame Edna's biography in it and vice versa. This confused the daylights out of the elderly couple behind us.
The overture for the show is a composite of some of the most memorable shows in Broadway history that are pieced together in snippets that flash from one to the next in the blink of an eye. This elicits laughter at each non sequatur.
Dame Edna and Michael Feinstein in All About Me
Enter Dame Edna, the Australian housewife turned entertainment megastar. She has a healthy self-image, mauve hair and a sharp tongue. She and Feinstein immediately clash until separated by the "stage manager" played by Jodi Capeless. With each laying claim to the theatre, the stage manager convinces the two of them to do a co-production.
While Dame Edna is her usual hilarious self and Michael Feinstein is charming and does have a way with American classics, the sum of the two is less than it should be. Don't get me wrong, the show is very entertaining. The problem is you are never free of the feeling that you are watching two different shows. When they do come together it's just weird.
They are accompanied by a twelve piece band under the direction of Rob Bowman. The band is outstanding and a number of the musicians are given the opportunity to shine throughout the evening. Ms. Capeless as the stage manager gets one of the evening's best moments when she has to cover a costume change for Feinstein and Everage. She belts out a mean "And the World Goes Round" while continuing to call cues.
Ms. Everage's frocks by Stephen Adnitt are inspired, including one with a replica of the Syndey Opera House on her shoulders. The modest set by Anna Louizos, made up mostly of a bandstand is worthy of a Las Vegas nightclub but it's Howell Binkley's lighting that brings the set to life.
The show shares a writing credit between Christopher Durang and Barry Humphries (Ms. Everage's alter-ego). The premise falls flat but its individual pieces can be quite enjoyable. The show was nominally directed by Casey Nikolaw. All About Me is enjoyable not because of the premise, but rather in spite of it.
As of this writing All About Me has posted closing notice for Sunday, April 4th.
