That's great. But, it takes too damn long to get officially. I had a leaked JRO03O a little less than a month ago. Sad that it takes so long with Android. It doesn't matter anyways, I got an iPhone 5 now. Going to be drowning my Nexus as soon as I get the iPhone in hand.

Testing is still testing, even IOS goes through beta testing before its official release.
11. TheRetroReplay posted on 21 Sep 2012, 11:52 2
That's true, but Verizon isn't holding up the updates on iOS devices.
12. structureman116 posted on 21 Sep 2012, 11:53 6
Why did you downgrade to a criphone? An Android with Gingerbread is better than a criphone with iOS 6!
39. Non_Sequitur posted on 21 Sep 2012, 16:27 2
Freakin' Eclair was better than iOS 6 is now.
iOS 6 is a DOWNGRADE from iOS 5. I wanted to see Apple do better than that, I really did...

WOW TOOK U LOOK ENOUGH. I still don't have it on mine yet though, even tried clearing the data for the app thing.. Hopefully I get it later today

So much for being a Google device and being the first for updates.
13. TheRetroReplay posted on 21 Sep 2012, 12:05 4
As much as I'd hate to say it, I agree with Mxyzptlk. It has the Nexus name and Nexus devices are known for getting updates first. That's the whole point of being a Nexus class device.
Imagine getting a Toyota Prius, that gets horrible gas mileage just because it didn't come from a Toyota dealer. Even though it came from the same factory.
Yes Verizon dropped the ball on this one, but Google should of stepped in and updated it themselves. If they can do it with a GSM, there's no reason why they can't do it with a CDMA/LTE.
I love Android but I absolutely hate Google's laissez-faire attitude they have with it. Google needs to take control of Android updates if they want to compete on the same level as Apple.
I'm sorry but that is the truth and this is coming from a die hard Android fan.

"It has the Nexus name and Nexus devices are known for getting updates first. That's the whole point of being a Nexus class device."
And I disagree with you and Mxyzptlk because in current case update goes through Verizon so, it depends on Verizon when device will get update.
17. TheRetroReplay posted on 21 Sep 2012, 12:17 0
So you're in favor of Verizon's slow update process? Because it sure sounds like you are if you're defending them and their slow Android updates.
19. Berzerk000 posted on 21 Sep 2012, 12:26 2
No, he said it depends on Verizon when they get the update. Google has little say in the matter. CDMA/LTE works differently than GSM, I don't know the exact details, but it's because of that difference that Verizon wouldn't let Google push out the updates themselves. Google tried to get them to let them handle it, but Verizon said no.

No, I'm not in favor of Verizon's slow update process, I'm just state the fact that updates on Verizon's network are slow because of Verizon and not because of Google.
23. sleepyjohnny posted on 21 Sep 2012, 13:16 3
I think they're trying to say that because it has Nexus in the name, it's already marketed as a device being pure google experience (save for two verizon apps). However, Verizon bashes that experience by severely hampering the update process.
When compared to the iPhone, when an update is released, it's released for the sprint, at&t, and verizon iPhones. Verizon has no say in those updates, and I believe it shouldn't have so much interference with the Nexus updates. If they would like to keep doing so, they should drop the nexus name and rename the device. It's not fair to the consumers that bought the device with the very fair assumption that it would be a pure google experience phone, like the iPhone is a pure apple experience phone. No matter what network the iphone is on, you get the same experience. Whether or not it's CDMA, LTE, HSPA+ or what have you. The same should be for the Galaxy Nexus.

well said.
i cant even get this update started. i am thoroughly disapointed with my vzw gnex!
27. wgaurav posted on 21 Sep 2012, 14:01 1
if google has litlte say in updating then they should not let vz carry the flagship device....

"No matter what network the iphone is on, you get the same experience. Whether or not it's CDMA, LTE, HSPA+ or what have you."
Unless you happen to want to do simultaneous data and voice on Verizon or Sprint.
Or if you wanted to use Siri on the iPhone 4 last year.
31. sleepyjohnny posted on 21 Sep 2012, 15:09 1
That's a network experience difference. However the software remains identical across all the networks.
Your last remark makes no sense. All iphone 4's have the same software pushed out to them at the same time. All of them have their standard features by apple that are promised by apple. Unfortunately Siri was not promised by apple for the iPhone 4.
My point was, if the phones are the same, they should have the same software in them. Besides their network capabilities, the GSM and CDMA Galaxy Nexus variants are essentially identical and should both have the same software pushed out to them in the same manner that Apple has managed to do so.

not when is Google pride and Joy .. the Nexus.. see how the fandroids are backpedaling here..

Google doesn't officially support the Verizon Nexus...
43. chaoticrazor posted on 21 Sep 2012, 18:09 1
ohh look a android related article...and wait an apple troll commenting...im shocked
so you bitch that android users should stay off apple articles and look at you........
48. PhoneArenaUser posted on 22 Sep 2012, 07:42 0
Why backpedaling? It is the fact that Verizon was keeping updates on the handbrake not Google by it self.

cdma is locked gsm is open
9. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 21 Sep 2012, 11:49 4
So much for people actuall knowing what they are talking about, this was Verizon's fault. My GSM GNex got the update around two months ago.
33. structureman116 posted on 21 Sep 2012, 15:15 1
I agree. VZW blamed Google and Samsung for this update not rolling out, yet EVERY other carrier, including Sprint, which is CMDA, received their update. The fact that they think we are idiots astounds me. VZW is completely to blame for this. If Samsung and Google sent out the CDMA update to Sprint there is no reason it couldn't be sent out to VZW.
22. Berzerk000 posted on 21 Sep 2012, 12:38 1
Verizon besmirches the Nexus name... It's sad. Google shouldn't let Verizon have another Nexus until they agree to let Google take control of the updates

I've been running CM10, I got tired of waiting for Jelly Bean and I love my custom theme too much to go back to stock.

what he said. :P
i actually just swapped phones with my mom yesterday. her Nexus for my Razr. i was getting bored with the Razr so i decided to give the Nexus a fair shake. in comparison to the Razr...i'll just say that if this wasn't a Nexus the Razr would destroy this. i like AOKP but i'll try other JB ROM's if you guys have any suggestions. oh and i'm also going to trade my Xyboard for a Nexus 7 soon too so i can have the full Nexus suite to use. i'm already missing my Motorola devices but maybe i should ween off a little, try different things and be more adventurous, especially now when i'm deliberating between WP and Android, LG and Motorola you know?

i am the happiest person right now .....i called vzw like every 2weeks about the update .....im good now and #ip5 sux still im done

If I don't have this update before the end of this coming weekend, my phone will still be better than a criphone 5!!!
34. itzmando posted on 21 Sep 2012, 15:37 0
I give up, I have been trying for seriously 2 hours straight. Am I doing something wrong, I see a few others on other tech sites who followed and said they got it. But not sure if they did or not.
Go through the same process like when I updated to 4.0.4 on my Gnex after 8 tries it worked. I did the force close than clear data and vice versa. Tried turning off the phone completely than try it again.
I guess I will have to wait for the update to appear on my phone, I usually am always connected to wifi except on campus at school since I get a strong 4G signal.
47. Malique001 posted on 22 Sep 2012, 07:24 0
Usually it'll take a day or 2 to come to ur fone but it will get there by b4 the end of the week.
49. itzmando posted on 22 Sep 2012, 12:23 0
I tried it 4 more times this morning, once every hour and sure enough it FINALLY appeared.
Glad I have 58mbps wifi, this update is done close to 1 min. and 30s for full download than upload.
Now time for it to install.
55. Malique001 posted on 23 Sep 2012, 16:19 0
Lucky you, i still didn't get mine. Its in phases though so I should get it by tomorrow.
56. itzmando posted on 23 Sep 2012, 18:57 0
Im happy to be running Jelly Bean, BUT
I have noticed that my battery is dying extremely fast.
I rarely use my phone now, other than FB but close it. On one full charge it seriously lasted 5 1/2hours on standby. By checking the uptime in about phone before it died at 3% left.
Something is very wrong here, all settings were the same before I updated. I only received like 4-5 emails in between. :(

I haven't got it yet. I've done the Google Services Framework thing many times with no luck. Hopefully I will get it tomorrow.
46. SvbZero posted on 22 Sep 2012, 01:49 0
Hey guys.. the update is really available.. Try clearing the data first in the Google Services Framework.. then force close it. When I did it this way.. it worked on the first try. Enjoy JB :)
50. bossmt_2 posted on 22 Sep 2012, 15:32 0
Still haven't gotten it myselg, done the Services Framework Clear even did an unrelated system reset. I know though from past updates that the rollout can take several days, Just wish I had it now.
51. joelg1988 posted on 22 Sep 2012, 20:12 0
Got mine at noon after doing the framework trick, airplane mode and wifi. I'm located in Kansas City
52. structureman116 posted on 23 Sep 2012, 05:29 0
At about 3am eastern time I checked for the update and it was not there! Cleared data and force closed the GSF app, checked for updates again and BAM!!!!! Hello Jellybean!!! Smooth as silk from what I am experiencing so far! Good luck on getting your updates soon all of you fellow VZW GNex'ers!

Me too, got it about 7am pacific here in WA. Definitely awesome, wish foxfi worked on jb though, anyone know of a good no root tether solution for jb?
57. itzmando posted on 23 Sep 2012, 19:08 0
Anyone else having battery issues?
Got updated around 11:30am Pacific yesterday
My phone is just dying too fast for my liking, after rebooting and fully charged. I used it for bit to see the new features but quickly set it down to do other things.
Well fast forward close to 5 1/2 hours later its blinking red, checked I have 3% left. ??
How can I have such low battery life so quickly when I havnt used it at all its just on standby.
I could manage close a full day on charge when I had ICS with light usage on emails, web search and social media. No camera/video recording.

Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web.

(b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.

Sherrie Levine (American, born 1947)
Gelatin silver print
3 3/4 x 5 1/16 in. (9.6 x 12.8 cm)
Gift of the artist, 1995 (1995.266.2)
In 1981, Levine photographed reproductions of Depression-era photographs by Walker Evans, such as this famous portrait of Allie Mae Burroughs, the wife of an Alabama sharecropper. The series, entitled After Walker Evans, became a landmark of postmodernism, both praised and attacked as a feminist hijacking of patriarchal authority, a critique of the commodification of art, and an elegy on the death of modernism. Far from a high-concept cheap shot, Levine's works from this series tell the story of our perpetually dashed hopes to create meaning, the inability to recapture the past, and our own lost illusions.

It is ironic that in my first project as an amateur curator, I am not even old enough to pop open the celebratory champagne. Lessons learned: (1) bring a clutch, (2) wear heels but pack flats, (3) a year of hard work condensed in 3 hours goes by swiftly.
Seeing the artworks in person is definitely an experience; wholly different from viewing them on a computer monitor or inside a book.

Go forth and take flight;
Lean back with a gentle sigh;
Moonstruck and content.
Best complement I receive all night: "it made me proud to be Chinese."

Here are some do's and don't's on how to work with me.
Do treat me, as a blogger as you would any member of the mainstream media.
Do make sure that your pitches reflect the ethos of my blog, I am bombarded by emails on a daily basis, so it helps if your pitch is relevant.
Do read my blog, especially the 'About Me' section. I often get invites to wonderful events in New York or Los Angeles which is great except that I am based in England. Do be transparent and clearly disclose who you are and who you work for in your email and what you want to get out of the relationship.
Do have a selection of images to offer me if I do decide to write about your product.
Don't expect something for nothing. My blog is based on my experiences at events and with products so if you would like me to feature your brand then I will require a sample of the product or access to the event.
Don't pretend to have read my blog if you haven't.
Don't refer to me as 'Dear Blogger, Dear Internet person or worse 'Hey there.' My name is Ronke Adeyemi.

MAKE LIKE A TREE...: Local media were allowed a chance to explore the Nissan Leaf before it takes up its shuttling duties at COP17 starting Monday.
Author: HAILEY PHILANDER
As world leaders discuss climate change in Durban Wheels24 headed to the city to drive Nissan's Leaf electric vehicle and a pre-production Renault Twizy. There were rumblings that Nissan was considering bringing its Leaf electric vehicle to South Africa. Rumblings that were given gravity when the EV was given pride of place on the Nissan stand at the recent Johannesburg international auto show. But a chance to drive it, given South Africa's (non-existent) electric car infrastructure?Imagine my joy, then, when an invitation to experience Nissan's EV superstar dropped into my mailbox.WIND-CHEATING QUALITIESI'd experienced the electric car "thing" in a range of petrol-electric hybrids but nothing like the full-electric experience Nissan promises in its Leaf. I had no idea what to expect...Seeing the Leaf out in the bright Durban sunlight (rather than in a brightly-lit motor show hall) helped to make the outing more real. Out in the open, Leaf's wind-cheating qualities became clearer – its headlight clusters, for example, are elevated and shaped to direct air to the side and over the car's flanks – while its ordinariness as a car was highlighted, too.It was easily able to blend into the everyday driving environment of the traffic in and around Umhlanga on Durban's north coast. Driving it is remarkably simple. Punch the stop/start button, watch and listen as the blue lit instruments dance and the arrival chime sounds and you're ready to go. Shift the drive mode lever (it's an electric car, so there's no gearbox) to the right and down, and you're ready to go.WATCH OUT FOR THE BRAKES...The Leaf uses a lithium ion battery pack to generate its 80kW/280Nm and though the car is designed for city driving it had absolutely no problem getting up to speed and keeping up with freeway traffic. In fact, it was quite eerie travelling at those speeds with only wind and tyre roar to break the silence. The brakes seemed to have quite a job of slowing down the charging Leaf, so relying on engine braking to shave off some speed at the last minute could prove costly…The Leaf, which has a range of around 160km, will charge in eight hours on a 200V supply while the occasional quick charge on a 400V supply should take about 30 minutes for a top up. SMART CAR
INTERACTIVE: The Leaf's touch-screen interface provides running updates of the car's various functions.
TWIZYLICIOUS: Pre-production examples of the pint-sized Twizy were sampled on a course set up at Durban's Sibaya Casino complex.

Ovarian cancer is known as "the silent killer" because its symptoms -- such as stomach pain and indigestion -- are easily confused with other ailments, allowing the illness to reach a deadly advanced stage before it is diagnosed. But that may soon change. Researchers are working on an early-detection test that proved 100 percent accurate in finding the cancer in its earliest stage, according to a small study to be published in the medical journal Endocrine-Related Cancer Journal. More testing, as well as FDA approval, needs to happen before the pinprick blood test called OvaCheck becomes widely available, says Peter Levine, president of Correlogic Systems, one of the test's developers. However, for women at high risk of ovarian cancer, such as those with a family history, the test may be available as early as this year.

" |
The Attendant is a community-created headwear item for the Pyro. It is a worn, gray soft cap with a yellow band sitting on top of a black curved visor and a small black bowtie. Like the Pyro's other Polycount Pack items, the Attendant is evocative of a 1950s gas service-station attendant theme.

JACKSONVILLE – As of Friday evening, Florida had sold 8,000 tickets of its 15,000 allotment for the Gator Bowl vs. Ohio State on Monday. If those tickets remain unsold, the University Athletic Association is likely to take a big hit in the cost of those tickets.
Listed on the UAA ticket site at $65 apiece for stadium seats, the cost of those approximately 7,000 remaining tickets would be absorbed by UF. If no more are sold, the total would be approximately $455,000.
Schools losing money on unsold bowl tickets is nothing new this time of year. Last year, UConn took a $1.8 million hit on its Fiesta Bowl appearance thanks largely to more than 14,700 unsold tickets. In last year's Outback Bowl, Florida payed $68,650 for 935 unsold tickets.
With three days to go until the game, its chances of selling out look more dismal. According to the Florida Times-Union, both schools have sold about half of their allotments. Tickets are still available on Ticketmaster and StubHub.
Even if Florida does have to pay for as many as 7,000 remaining tickets, that doesn't necessarily mean it will lose money on the bowl overall. Last year, the Gator Bowl paid out more than $5.4 million to Mississippi State and Michigan.
In the SEC, schools receive part of that money directly and the rest is given to the conference office and redistributed between the 12 schools and the conference. With two teams in the BCS national championship, the SEC should receive a boost in that pool of bowl money this year.
Although Florida lost money on tickets for the Outback Bowl last season, it netted more than $40,000 on the game.

International Rugby Board referees boss Paddy O'Brien says the authority of television match officials is likely to be extended on a trial basis next year and could be permanently increased.
O'Brien said protocols were currently being drafted which would "extend the use" of TMOs in trial matches in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres in 2012.
Television match officials currently can only rule on incidents in the in-goal area.
The new protocols would likely extend their authority to the field of play, allowing them to advise the referee of foul play or forward passes in the lead-up to a try.
O'Brien told a business luncheon in Queenstown on Monday that "protocols around this have yet to be established, but it is likely to be trialed in the new year".

The brush fire in Ohio County is contained, but still burning on Wednesday.
Kentucky Forestry Division officials say it is burning within containment lines and now theyre relying on rain to get the fire out completely.
They believe a total of 1100 to 1200 acres have burned.
This blaze is the third in three weeks.
Forestry officials say this fire is in the same spot as last weeks.
They say there are six separate burn sites, which makes them think this was arson.

"Wool from the tip of the nose to the tip of the toes" was used to describe Shropshires in their heyday. In the early 1900s, the Shropshire was the most common breed in the United States. However, breeders selected for small size and greater wool, resulting in a small sheep prone to wool blindness (heavy wool growth on the face covers eyes; requires regular face shearing). Since the 1950s, breeders have worked to ensure the breed has the original characteristics that made it so popular. Shropshire lambs are vigorous, grow quickly and have a superior carcass quality. The gentle disposition makes them suitable for a family flock. The ewes are prolific, give good yields of milk and are long-lived.

Southdowns are noted for the excellent feed conversion. They are ideal for intensive management, including producing lambs for the Easter market. The lambs mature quickly and have good survival rates. The meat is noted for its flavor and tenderness.The Babydoll Southdown is a miniature breed, less than two-feet high at the shoulder, recently developed from the Southdown.

Best Wildflower Trail Above the Freeway
Mention wildflower viewing and people immediately think Joshua Tree or the Lancaster desert. But wildflowers proliferate in our own backyard -- in Elysian Park. Spring brings out carpets of wildflowers and flocks of songbirds, not to mention joggers, hikers, dog walkers and the occasional disgruntled Dodger fan. Elysian Park's Wildflower Trail is an easy 2.8-mile hike that loops around the park with only 200 feet of elevation and a small garden halfway through for those who need to... More »
While Griffith Park gets the lion's share of attention, most people know Elysian Park only as that area in which Dodger Stadium is embedded or as that weird, vaguely forested space that abuts the 110 and 5 freeways near downtown. Truth is, Elysian is an amazingly placid, lushly verdant and highly usable getaway in the middle of the city. Founded in 1886, Elysian Park has incredibly varied topography and vegetation. There are grassy meadows, tree groves, canyons, steep hills with... More »

Irish Prime Minister Cowen to dissolve parliament Tuesday
The Irish Senate has passed a finance legislation that enacts six billion euros ($8.2 bn) in tax hikes and budget cutbacks, agreed as part of December's EU-IMF bailout for Ireland. This enables Prime Minister Brian Cowen to dissolve parliament Tuesday. The passage of the finance measure Saturday after two days of Senate debate paves the way for Cowen to dissolve parliament Tuesday and announce the date of the general election. The finance bill was passed Thursday in the lower chamber of parliament, and Cowen Friday announced his plans to seek to dissolve parliament after the ...

In a radio interview, the former finance minister who has led the country at the head of a coalition government since 2008, said he was quitting his Laois/Offaly constituency voluntarily. "I have to take things into consideration now in the context of the fact of having been Taoiseach and leader of the party and former leader and giving a break to the new leader," he told Midlands Radio.

Picture from wicklore : Lenghts of falling ice faintly visible through the fog.
Lenghts of falling ice faintly visible through the fog.
1 Feb 2010
One of the things I've noticed when climbing hills with masts or wind turbines on top are the signs that warn of the danger of ice falling from them. I have never really needed to pay much attention to those signs until yesterday.
I was walking up the access road up to Truskmore. At the beginning of the road was a sign warning people to stay 200 metres from the mast due to the possibility of falling ice. There was relatively heavy snow lying on the ground, particularly above 200 metres. For the couple of hours that I was on the mountain there was frequent falls of snow and the temperature was freezing. Near the summit visibility was down to less than 50 metres, as snow and fog combined to create a blanket of white all around. As I neared the summit I heard a repeated cracking sound, which at first I thought was gunfire. But knew there couldn't be hunters out in these conditions. Each cracking sound would be followed seconds after by either a 'whumph' or a banging sound. I reached a gate at the summit and the massive guy wires supporting the mast materialised. Mine were the only footprints in the blanket of snow, but I was puzzled by dozens of other random scuff marks in the snow. Just as I realised that I must be well within the 200 metre danger zone I discovered what all the noise was, and what the marks were. Large sections of ice were falling from the guy wires and mast. That accounted for the cracking sound, as the wind ripped the ice off. The heaviest lumps of ice fell straight down onto the roof of the building below, with the expected crashing sound. Smaller pieces were carried by the wind away from the mast where they landed on the snow. The impact resulted in the 'whumph' sound and caused the random scuff marks I had noticed.
Just as I realised all of this I was hit be some minor pieces of ice – larger than hailstones, but not big enough to hurt. I retreated rapidly to where only the smallest lumps of ice were landing. The massive mast was hidden in the freezing fog, and it was eerie listening to the sound of cracking and falling ice emanating from the whiteness around me. I had my camera out but knew that photographing fog was useless. As if sensing my wish to be able to see what was going on, the cloud magically lifted for a moment and revealed the frozen mast. As I took my photograph I witnessed a large length of ice plummet from the heights. It must have been 12 feet long and it split into several pieces as it fell. The majority of it went straight down, but the wind carried several pieces straight in my direction. I beat a hasty retreat and didn't look back as I heard the ice impacting in the snow behind me. I will certainly be much more wary of the possibility of falling ice for the remainder of the winter!

Due to the apparent problems described here by other users with regard to access, I too took the TV road to the summit. Even as TV roads go its a bit unwelcoming compared to Mt. Leinster or Kippure. Parking is restrictive, you have to leave your car propped up against a ditch on a narrow road, its hard to enjoy a walk when your car is left somewhat exposed! The views are amazing though, you can even see across to the sea cliffs of Slieve League! I didn't encounter anyone on my quick power walk to the top (I wanted to get back to the car!!!). The summit cairn can be found by walking between the two sections of the TV buildings at the top. Its a pity about the access problems as this is one of the most unusual and visually stunning areas in Ireland. Even on the loop road up to the gates of the TV road, no trespass signs are much in evidence

Some years ago there were two TV transmission masts on Kippure in the Dublin mountains while one was being replaced by another. As of Dec 2009, RTE seem to be in the process of making the same change on Truskmore. Certainly at the top there is a mass of cables and heavy gear and the two masts are very visible.
The photo was taken from Cope's Mountain, some 6km away. I was surprised that the cables were so visible at this distance.

North Sligo is certainly a very difficult place to go walking as far as access is concerned. To put it in perspective, on a road near Arroo, further north of Truskmore, somebody has painted on the road a number of times "NO Hillwalkers". Need I say more about the mentality!!!
As for Truskmore, I'm not sure the road up to the TV transmitter is a viable option either. The whole Gleniff valley is really a no go area for walkers. I've heard reports of cars being vandalised. The best way to get to Truskmore is by any points which are accessible to the south of Benbulben and from the north shore of Glencar lake. Recently went from Glencar following the old cable car route up to the mines. This is easily seen from the road as you drive out to Glencar. Saw no signs and had no trouble, but I can't guarantee this route either. You can also start from the point south of Benbulben, which I mention in a comment for that mountain. Thats certainly one of the more well known and popular access points up to the plateau, but its a long walk to Truskmore from there.
Access problems arise all the time. It could be a good idea to ask in Call of the Wild in Sligo town before you go, they tend to be up to date on whats happening.

Alternative Route to mast road
28 Apr 2011
This mountain can also be accessed by following the Doenen Walk which starts near Glencar until it's end and crossing bog and hills (Its quite tiring) until you reach the summit using the Mast to guide us. Be careful to avoid bog holes and the ground under other less dry weather could be challenging. I would advise that this route not be taken alone as it is quite remote but spectacular.

More welcoming than expected
4 Aug 2011
Although most of this area has poor access, due to landowners not welcoming walkers, I had a great experience today. Went for a run up Truskmore after work using the RTE mast access road. Had to climb the gate with all the signs on it, figuring they wouldn't be working after 6pm. It was really windy with dense cloud at the top, out of the gloom came an RTE engineer in his jeep, scaring the life out of me. He gave me a big wave and we both went on our way. As I was climbing back over the gate to my car I spotted a note on my windscreen, thought it might be a note about access or rights of way. But no it said "Well done! Not an easy run"

Of all my ideas this is the one I am most proud of. This is because it sounds so good and because it works in a completely different way to other sound generators. I discovered it when I was playing around with a light sensor and seeing what waveforms I could pick up by pointing it at different light sources, I was viewing the waveforms on an oscilloscope. I had the eureka moment when I pointed it at the oscilloscope screen that it was connected to, creating a feedback loop. The line on the oscilloscope would now trace the silhouette of any shape placed on it's screen.
The sound is really special, it has an organic turbulent quality because of the feedback loop constantly trying to follow the edge of the shape on the screen, but not quite doing it perfectly. I find it only sounds really beautiful when played at full volume through a vintage Marshall stack, this is how the 2 following sounds on this page were recorded.
Song1.mp3 All the synths in this song demo are the oscilloscope.
Song2.mp3 The lead sound here is the oscilloscope
(Both pieces of music written by Steve Santa Cruz)
The oscilloscope is an add-on to an existing synthesiser, the synthesizer merely provides a frequency to scan the oscilloscope screen. A sawtooth wave is usually best for this as it scans at a constant speed, letting the pattern on the screen become the output signal, any other non linear wave like a sine would distort the pattern on the screen and the sound would be more harsh.
It has many modes of operation. I have used it to do ring modulation, phase modulation, analog sampling, sequencing, and lots of other strange things that don't have any conventional definition.
The videos below are a few examples of it's different modes.
Basic setting, sawtooth wave to vertical, light sensor feedback to horizontal.
Same as basic setting but sawtooth is sent through envelope before it is sent to the oscilloscope screen.
Same as before but audio is from sequencer/arpeggiator.
No feedback from the light sensor, the audio signal is just scanning a line, the square grid seems to make quite vocal sounds.
The vertical input on the oscilloscope is being fed by an above audio frequency signal, the horizontal is connected to the audio synth signal.
Same as before but using my fingers
This is very complicated and interesting. 2 different audio signals are being sent to the horizontal and vertical inputs.
Me setting up so you can see what equipment I am using.
Please Leave a comment about this machine I will try to answer any questions.

You could make a bit of your money back doing runs of PCBs or something for this.
Really like the way you get a timbral change by feeding enveloped signals into it, sounds amazing.
Do you have a collection of stencils/Acetates to use with it.
Wish I had the time to do this kind of thing and had started electronics a little earlier in my life.

This report, from the Network for the Coordination and Advancement of Sub-Saharan Africa-EU Science & Technology Cooperation (CAAST–Net), aims to promote cooperation in science and technology between Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa.
The authors argue that Africa must build up a domestic knowledge base and Europe must help transfer technology. In this regard, they evaluate European-African partnerships and African participation in both the EU Framework Programmes and the European Development Fund.
Source: LEAD Africa
This report, published in English and French, looks at the unique responsibilities of African regional institutions in leading the continent on climate issues.
The report makes six recommendations for action by regional institutions: provide technical advice to African climate negotiators; help develop a coherent continental framework for action against climate change; play a 'bridging' role between pan-African organisations and national ones; improve the availability of climate data on the continent by sharing information; and compare strategies for adaptation to inform policymaking.
Source: Africa Progress Panel
This policy brief, prepared by the Africa Progress Panel, African Development Bank and UN, outlines the implications of climate change for Africa, emphasising the need for a strong and cohesive negotiating position at the December 2009 climate talks in Copenhagen.
The authors argue that African governments must define practical steps for the international community to address the climate crisis. Three areas require urgent action: clear emissions targets and an adaptation fund; energy-saving technologies through additional financing and technology transfer; and improving long-term frameworks such as the Clean Development Mechanism and reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD).
To achieve this, argue the authors, African heads of state and ministers of finance, planning and environment must collaborate on a practical strategy position to generate maximum buy-in from the rest of the world. This must be achieved in time for high-level meetings in the second half of 2009.

This paper from the Association of Commonwealth Universities outlines the commitments and activities made by major international partners — specifically the G8 countries — to developing African higher education between 2000 and 2004.
Projects are analysed by topic — from human resources development to HIV/AIDS to science and technology — and region. The authors highlight trends in donors' strategies for supporting African higher education, presenting development portfolios and case studies from France, Germany, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and the United States, among others. They suggest improvements in aid delivery, including collaboration between donors and increased communication about individual donor strategies. They also call for more networking and collaboration across higher education institutions within Africa, while noting that these face financial constraints.
The authors conclude that there is a particular need for donors to provide more support to science and technology projects — as a crucial driver of socioeconomic development.

This paper examines the relative costs of research in South Africa and the apparent disparity in researchers' salaries. A 2004–2005 research and development survey provides data on the unit cost of research across higher education institutions (HEIs), science councils and the business sector. Analysis shows that research costs and salaries are highest in the business sector and lowest in HEIs, although the differences are not as wide as expected. Similarly, overhead costs are lowest in HEIs and highest in the business sector.
But the authors emphasise that while HEIs may provide the cheapest research — based on cost per hour — this does not mean that they necessarily provide the cheapest 'cost per deliverable', i.e. value to the client.
The authors call for more regular and detailed data to better understand the researcher labour market. They propose an annual salary survey focused on public sector researchers and a common pricing model for all institutions performing public research.

This collection of features and commentaries, published by Nature, reflects the broad spectrum of activities and opinions of members and associates of TWAS, the academy of sciences for the developing world.
With more than three dozen articles written by prominent scientists working on research or policy issues in the South, the collection examines a range of topics in science-based international development — from the relevance of subjects like mathematics or physics, to the increasing roles of biotechnology and renewable energy.
The achievements made and challenges still facing developing countries in key areas like agriculture, health, climate change and energy are also discussed. And evidence from across the South is presented to show how strengthening science can help achieve economic goals and what more is needed to ensure that knowledge and development are shared by all.

This research article, by Rosemary Wolson at the University of Cape Town, assesses South Africa's biotechnology policies, reviewing three major initiatives — the national research and development strategy, biotechnology strategy and proposed laws to govern intellectual property rights derived from publicly funded research. Wolson explains the origins, goals and implementation of each.
The projects aim to create a coordinated strategy for promoting biotechnology in South Africa. Wolson concludes that the efforts are an encouraging sign of governmental commitment, but notes the continuing challenge of integrating the individual projects into a coherent framework. This may depend on promoting social networks to catalyse innovative industries.
She calls for the government to encourage more private enterprise and investment while remaining committed to basic research.
This article is useful to anyone hoping to understand the policy framework for biotechnology in one of sub-Saharan Africa's key scientific and industrial powers.

This draft report of the High-Level African Panel on Modern Biotechnology recommends that African governments prioritise biotechnology as a tool to promote development and integration. The panel advises African leaders on developments in biotechnology, capacity building needs, and measures for regional cooperation and regulatory harmonisation.
The report suggests measures to develop capacity, regulate biotechnology and improve North–South and South–South collaboration. It recommends a structure based on 'local innovation areas' where clusters of innovative companies, their suppliers and service providers, universities and research institutes are all concentrated in a small area.
This draft report is subject to ongoing consultation and is likely to undergo further development. It is an essential read for anyone tracking the evolution of high-level biotechnology policies in Africa.

This research article assesses the potential for biotechnological approaches to overcome major pests, diseases and weeds undermining food security in Africa. The eight authors review three major constraints — parasitic weeds and herbicide-resistant grasses, insect pests, including those carrying plant diseases, and mycotoxins that damage stored grains.
They note that biotechnological solutions to some of these are already being explored, such as insect resistance in maize, but they say that others, like the control of parasitic weeds, will require longer-term study. The authors argue that these should be prioritised in public research programmes and supported by the private sector through donations of useful genes and technologies.
Their methodical discussion helps identify key priority areas for crop biotech research in Africa. This article will be useful to policy analysts, decision makers and research managers working in the field.

The African Union (AU) developed the African Model Law on Safety in Biotechnology to help countries across the continent fulfil their obligations under the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety and manage related issues.
The AU encourages the development of a common position on biosafety regulation (see AU Biosafety Project) across the continent. It does not have the authority to legislate on behalf of its members — but it promotes the Model Law as a framework for individual countries to use in creating their own laws and institutions.
The Model Law is being revised through an ongoing consultation process before submission to AU governments for possible adoption at national level.
