I still have one more un-used hand-bound journal on my shelf, but this time I decided to use this Epsilon sketchbook from Stillman & Birn that a dear friend gave to me. The paper is made more for ink than watercolor, but light not-too-juicy washes work well on it. And my fountain pens simply glide over the smooth paper!
Every one of Stillman & Birn products are a dream to use, and the binding lasts no matter how rough I get with it.
As always, I drew my current sketching palette on the first page. Actually, this is the second 2-page spread -- I left the inside covers blank for collecting random quotes. Lately I have been carrying a larger purse than my norm, allowing me to carry a full-size sketchbook and this pocket art toolkit from Expeditionary Art inside the bag. Smaller bags only hold my tools and I carry the book separately.
In the kit are two fountain pens (one with water-resistant ink and one with water-soluble ink), a waterbrush, two travel brushes (a #8 round and a dagger), a mechanical pencil and tiny case holding a kneaded eraser, a tiny stencil brush for spattering, a shortened white pencil, a shortened blue-gray watercolor pencil, a re-usable towel for wiping, and two pocket palettes, also from Expeditionary Art. I can switch out either of these palettes with a third one: one holds a basic warm/cool limited palette, one holds granulating earth colors, and one holds gouache. Not shown is a 4th set I made myself using a business card case that holds a basic palette of 14 paints.
Just after putting together my pocket palette set of granulating earth colors, Jane Blundell posted one she put together . . . so I had a bit of fun comparing our sets side-by-side. I have a set of Daniel Smith color dots that I used for the colors she uses that I don't own. She also recently put together a set for urban sketching along with some suggested options, so I added that just for fun.
I think I am done trying to post using my camera and computer. Overnight, the editing program used to adjust for bad lighting, crop photos, etc. changed yet again. The new format is not as user-friendly for me; my iPad is much easier and I can use it anywhere wi-fi is available.

I love starting a new sketchbook! I may have to put a Stillman & Birn on my wishlist for birthday or Christmas. I have never tried one but hear a lot about them on FB. Which one do you recommend? I am primarily a graphite artist but want to start doing more watercolor sketches.ReplyDelete
For graphite or ink, the Alpha and Epsilon are best (Alpha having a brighter white paper). For watercolor, the Beta and Delta are best, being heavier (Beta paper is brighter white). The Zeta is for mixed media, sort of an all-purpose paper. Watercolor works on all of them but the heavier paper books can handle juicier wet-in-wet watercolor; the lighter weight papers could buckle a bit.ReplyDelete

I can vividly remember when my two lectures of communication and culture, Mrs. Anne David and Mrs. Awiti, taught me about culture shock but I never paid much attention to it, not because I was not interested. This is because I never guessed that I would come to experience it personally.
Communication and culture is a requirement for the students of Daystar University, it was unnecessary for most of us, so we thought but as I think back and remember what I learnt I could now testify and say that it is one of the greatest things that daystar could have offered me as an institution.
You see I had always thought that I would never experience culture shock but now that I am. I can smile and say I am not surprised not because I had seen this coming but because I am in a strange land. All my life I thought that I would finish graduate school and get my internship at one of the media stations in the big city, which would later lead to my job. Never had I sat and thought that I would one day be in a land like Laikipia living among them and working in their environment. So it was a shocker when I got the opportunity to go to Laikipia but then again it was one adventure that I couldn't afford to miss.
So now that I am here, I am experiencing culture shock. I cannot understand their language and at times it causes frustration and then I go back to the reasons why I came to Laikipia. Not only is language a problem, which presents a huge problem when I want to get some information from them but the environment at large. Laikipia is a dry land, according to its residents it hasn't rained since last year November but then again they have plenty of food, shocker isn't it. Don't be that much because I am the one that is experiencing all that and each time I walk past the market place I tend to ask myself the same question over and over, how do they manage to produce this plenty of food.
The other shock that I am experiencing is the number of donkeys this people have. Hey, I am coastal do not blame me if I say that I am shocked to see many donkeys. In our culture we still use human labor to do chores but in Laikipia the donkeys do it for them, they fetch water, carry their grass for them, and also carry goods for them.
I am not a tribalist but when I decided to come to Laikipia I expected it to be a land populated by Maasai but the shock was on me when I walked into a land full of Kikuyu speaking people. Not that I don't have any kikuyu friends I do, but then again I remember what people say, the Kikuyu's are everywhere. I asked myself why that is. And my answer was because maybe they are among the few that we can really call Kenyans', because they are ready to live anywhere and work with others for the good of the society.
Well I may write all day and all night but my shock, and denial won't end today but maybe someday when I have fully accepted the environment I will look around and laugh. Laugh because my teachers did there best and now maybe when am done, I will walk to these two lecturers, holding my head up high and thank them for the great work that they do each day.

The period 1689-1901 was 'the golden age' of the sermon in Britain. Sermons out-sold other books until the mid-nineteenth century and were a key part of peoples' religious worship. Sermons influenced the outcome of elections, they challenged science and were used as vehicles for popular campaigns such as that for the abolition of slavery. The popularity of sermons should not be underestimated. Preachers attracted huge crowds, the Baptist minister Charles Spurgeonregularly preached to 5, 000 people, and the popular demand for sermons was never higher. Sermons were also taken by missionaries and clergy across the British empire. Sermons varied widely in form, and this enabled preaching to be adopted and shaped by every denomination, so that in this period mostreligious groups could lay claim to a sermon culture.PENNY PRITCHARD THE Protestant funeral sermon occupies a unique position in the wider genre of religious literature in early ... the burial service as set out in the Book of Common Prayer retained too much ritual from its Roman Catholic predecessor; moreover, expressing ...

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies have been used to treat cancer for many years (1). Another class of antibodies—immunoglobulin M (IgM)—has been overlooked in spite of offering unique advantages that make them highly desirable as cancer therapeutics. Serving a valuable function in our innate immune system, IgM antibodies are the first to be secreted when an abnormal cell is present (2). These antibodies play a critical role in recognition and elimination of infectious particles (3,4), in removal of intracellular components, and in immunosurveillance mechanisms against malignant cells (5,6). IgMs also can bind to multiple copies of a target on a cancer cell surface. Such high avidity leads to cross-linking and more effective cell killing (7).

Letter Combinations and Blends Chart
We have had several requests for the above "Letter Combination" chart. We alternate this chart with the below "Blends" chart every day. Students chant it as "ay, ey, ai See kids play, etc." They see these letter combinations in their reading and use them in their writing. These two charts are also kept in easy eye-sight for students to refer to as needed. Smaller charts are also put into their writing folders and reading bins earlier in the year to use as reference tools.

We encourage our members and readers to copy and paste the letter below into an email to be sent to Director Watt at firstname.lastname@example.com. Let him know you agree with the position of the Network of State Appraiser Organizations.
The Honorable Melvin L. Watt
Federal Housing Finance Agency
400 7th Street SW
Washington, DC 20024
Re: FannieMae Collateral Underwriter Program
Dear Director Watt:
On behalf of the independent state professional appraiser organizations signing below, I invite your attention to concerns expressed by the majority of real estate appraisers regarding FannieMae's announcement making their Collateral Underwriter (CU) program available to lenders and their third- party affiliates (but not to appraisers). We understand and appreciate the intent – to reduce the rejection rate of appraisal reports by FNMA through improved screening at the lender level.
Our concern is that lenders and their appraisal management companies will take an overly conservative misunderstanding of the CU's output and continue to implement processes that result in a degradation of the quality as well as the timeliness of residential appraisals. These misunderstandings contribute to actions such as FNMA's recent elimination of some of their appraisal guidelines regarding net and gross adjustments. It can be difficult to convince lenders that these guidelines are not hard limits. The same is almost certain to occur with lenders' employment of CU. The program's identification of alternative property sales as possible better comparables for analysis will likely result in the rejection of reports and the requirement for appraisers to spend considerable additional time responding to questions as to why those other sales were not used – hence extending loan processing time and increasing fees. Since those alternative sales come from a database with information not presently accessible by appraisers, this is not a self-correcting situation.
The solution that we recommend is to make the Collateral Underwriter program available to individual appraisers, including sales data, local market trends, imagery and other public records, that is being made available to lenders and their affiliates. The originating appraisers could then be alerted to the identification of the alternative sales as superior, and either utilize them or add appropriate explanatory commentary as to why they are not being included. This would improve the overall quality of appraisals by making selected property information from the FNMA database available to appraisers during initial appraisal development. It would also dramatically speed up loan processing time by eliminating delays caused by continuously growing requests for appraisers to reconsider the facts and conclusions in their reports. It is only logical for appraisers to have access to all the data possible. There is no apparent reason why this would not be possible, nor any potential downside or detriment to the process.
Not providing FNMA's Collateral Underwriter data to appraisers at the beginning of the valuation process not only disregards Appraiser Independence Requirements but also FNMA's own guidance as noted in: FNMA Selling Guide (4/15/2014) B4-1.1-05 "Disclosure of Information: "Any and all information about the Subject property that the lender is aware of must be disclosed to the appraiser. The appraiser must determine if the information could affect either the marketability of the property or the opinion of the market value of the property." Additionally, there is contradiction within the actual FNMA Uniform Residential Appraisal Report; as Appraiser's Certification 12. "I am aware of, and have access to, the necessary and appropriate public and private data sources, such as multiple listing services, tax assessment records, public land records and other such data sources for the area in which the property is located." Appraisers must have access to the data. Otherwise, it is not possible to certify what is unknown to be known.
Providing the Collateral Underwriter to appraisers would significantly improve the residential mortgage process and further the satisfaction of FNMA's own requirements of an appraiser.
We would like to meet with a member of your staff to discuss this in greater detail. I am serving as the contact person for the state organizations signing below. Please advise me as to a proposed date and time for such a meeting. I can be reached at (704)752-6252 x101, or at email@example.com
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,

The Torpedo 350 is ideal for those wanting a weather-resistant down bag for sleeping under a tarp or outside in cool conditions. Its low fill-weight makes it a useful all-rounder outside the mountains, but it you're happy to push your comfort tolerances, it is suitable for the Alps in late spring/early autumn and for ranges at lower altitudes and/or latitudes.
There is no better insulator than down. Unparalleled in its ability to trap air, incredibly light and highly compressible, down is unbeatable but for one drawback – it must be kept dry. A waterproof down sleeping bag is therefore essential for alpinism.
We use the highest grade of Polish goose down commercially and consistently available. Our sleeping-bag shells are made from eVent fabric – the most breathable and waterproof fabric we know.
Inside the bag, the baffles containing the down are welded to the inner face of the shell, avoiding all stitched seams. For the zip – like stitching, a potential area of water ingress – we use the highly water-resistant Riri Aquazip to ensure that the bag is as waterproof as humanly possible.
|eVent Waterproof Fabrics use Direct Venting Technology - a proprietary and patented waterproof membrane allows millions of tiny pores to breathe at their full potential. Sweat vents directly to the outside of the fabric in one easy step. Click Logo to read more..
Quite a heavyweight for the 0C rating but the real story is the eVent shell, which makes the bag a great choice for altitude but also for tarp camping where a conventional bag could so easily get wet.
The eVent shell is highly breathable so any concerns you may have about being damp in the morning because of a build up of condensation are unfounded. Having used the bag, we have not experienced any problems at all.
Another reason for choosing the Torpedo over other bags could be its durability and hence longevity. The eVent fabric is much more wear resistant than the superlight shell fabrics used on ultralight bags, and the chunky RiRi zipper ensure a Torpedo will go the distance. If you need a tough bag for a long trip, the Crux Torpedo range seems to have been designed with this in mind.
We sell a lot of water resistant sleeping bag covers, if you camp out a lot in the UK under a tarp, then the Torpedo bags could be your Nirvana and you can save the cash you would have spent on a cover!
|Help and advice:
Care Instructions
EN13537:2012 - Look for the 2012 label for the most accurate rating; In 2012 the EN system of testing sleeping bags was re-vamped - the new testing procedures are more rigorous, producing more consistent results than previous tests. 2012 results tend to rate sleeping bags as poorer performing by a few degrees when compared to previous test results, even though the sleeping bag may be identical, or even better.
This means that comparison between an EN13537:2012 rated bag and an EN13537:2002 rated bag are particularly difficult - our advice is to use the new EN13537:2012 rating to compare with other bags who have also been rated in this way.

Centerplate Wraps Up Super Bowl XLVII in Style, Releases Final Sales Figures for Big Game
Per Capita Spending on Food and Drink Tallied at Record $91.45
Feb 07, 2013, 12:25 EST
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Centerplate, the largest hospitality partner to North America's premier sports stadiums, convention centers, and entertainment venues, reported today that Super Bowl fans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome spent an average of a record breaking $91.45 on food and beverage at Super Bowl festivities. Despite the partial loss of power at the Superdome, Centerplate's food storage, refrigeration and preparation equipment were not impacted, and all hospitality locations remained open while play was stopped on the field.
These figures show that Super Bowl fans enthusiastically embraced Centerplate's Cajun celebration of New Orleans favorites and flair, as leading national food publications also gave kudos to Centerplate's stadium menu. Working with renown New Orleans chef Donald Link, Centerplate treated fans to: Alligator Chili, Roast Beef Debris Po' Boy, BBQ Shrimp and Grits, Chicken and Sausage Gumbo, Crawfish Pies and Chef Donald Links' Chicken Sauce Piquant.
"There's nothing quite like a true New Orleans celebration, and we're incredibly proud to have provided NFL fans with an authentic taste of this city's flavors and flair. Our philosophy is to always focus on the fan first, and I think the sales figures prove that fans embraced our New Orleans celebration, just like our chefs embraced New Orleans' culinary traditions," says Centerplate Senior Vice President, Greg Fender.
As part of its commitment to community partnership, Centerplate also helped local non-profit groups raise thousands of dollars through their volunteer efforts at the game. In addition, Centerplate partnered with the leading social enterprise firm Juma to provide jobs to 50 low-income New Orleans college-age students at the game. Through special saving accounts established with Juma, these students will be able to save their Super Bowl wages for college education, with Juma matching those dollars two-to-one.

Tobacco use kills nearly 10,000 Hoosiers annually and costs the state almost $3 billion in health care bills.
Wednesday, students across the state took a stand through a campaign called "Kick Butts Day."
Fifty years ago the Surgeon General released its first report on the dangers of smoking and tobacco use.
Half a century later, Hoosiers are still trying to kick the habit and students at Shortridge High School are telling them why now is the time.
"It's all about getting the kids to understand that it's a choice they have to make, but, to make it clear that the best choice is not to do it at all because of all the negative things that can happen if you do do it," said Christian Jones, 18.
He is among the many who signed a pledge vowing never to smoke. The senior says picking up smoking can lead to other problems for young people.
"What are (cigarettes) like $6 to $7 a pack, or something like that? If you smoke four of five packs a week, that is a lot of money," said Jones. "Especially for a teenager who doesn't have a steady income, it could be major holes in their pockets and that leads to them stealing for money or taking from their parents - a lot of negative things."
Tobacco Health Educator Chris Hawkins spent Wednesday at Shortridge talking to students about the dangers.
He says the key is using extreme examples to drive home the point.
"This is how much tar will be in your lungs. This is how much flem you will cough up. You have to show them and (have them) visualize. Show them the lungs. Show them a good lung. Show them a bad lung. Show them a cigarette that has what a cigarette has in it," said Hawkins. "You have to be up front with them and give them that shock value."
And he says a new challenge is clarifying misconceptions teens have about e-cigarettes.
"Just because there is vapor coming out doesn't mean it's a healthier alternative," he said. "People may call it a harm reduction strategy, but it is still not good for you."
The campaign reports more than 18 percent of Indiana teens smoke and a new Surgeon General's report released earlier this year predicts if changes aren't made, more than 150,000 Hoosier children will die prematurely from smoking.

I know, I know, I owe you a post about my experiences in Costa Rica (short version: I'm still here, feeling good, getting a lot of sun, embarrassing myself with my spotty grasp of Spanish). But first, a quick update on my books:
I just put "The Chicolini Incident", my short story prequel to Starship Grifters, back up on Amazon for the ridiculously low price of $.99. So go get it. Like, now.
In case you missed it, The Yanthus Prime Job (a Pepper Melange novella) is also now $.99. I know, right? I'm practically giving this stuff away.
The Mercury Shrugs audiobook will be available on 2/21.
Aye, Robot, the long-awaited sequel to Starship Grifters, will be available on March 7. I'm currently targeting March 7 for the release of the completely revised and updated version of Self-Publish Your Novel.
The Last Iota (sequel to The Big Sheep) will be out on May 9. It's available to pre-order in hardcover and paperback now.
Coming later in the year: audiobooks of Schrodinger's Gat, City of Sand, and Aye, Robot. And who knows what else.
And as always: Reviews of any of these books on Amazon, Goodreads, or anywhere else are greatly appreciated!

Humanitarian Mission Services
From August 2012 until February 2014, The Salvation Army, Humanitarian Mission Services provided humanitarian support services for asylum seekers in the Manus Island and Nauru Offshore Processing Centres.
The care of asylum seekers in these locations is now in the hands of security and facilities management companies.
The Salvation Army mission was 100% funded by the Australian Government. No funds donated to The Salvation Army for providing services to disadvantaged Australians were used to undertake this work.
The Salvation Army was responsible for supporting the welfare and emotional well-being of people waiting to be processed. The Salvation Army provided educational and recreational activities, as well as counselling and pastoral care.
The Salvation Army remains opposed to offshore processing.
Current work with asylum seekers
Despite not having its contract renewed to continue its mission in Manus Island and Nauru, The Salvation Army will continue working with asylum seekers in Australia.
This includes many programs and services that work with asylum seekers in the community and in detention centres.
At Auburn Corps in Sydney's West, there are a multitude of support services, programs and activities to assist asylum seekers, refugees and new migrants.
In Melbourne, The Asylum Seeker Support Services in Brunswick provides food, clothing, furniture, vouchers and other necessities to asylum seekers living on Bridging Visas. In addition to this, our Community Detention program across Australia supports asylum seekers released into the community through case work and living assistance.
Our legal team, Salvos Legal, also provides free immigration and legal advice to asylum seekers and others in Australia
Many Corps and outreach centres are extending their services to support asylum seekers, refugees and new migrants. We remain committed to serving these people through legal support, food, clothing and furniture, language programs and case work.
Salvation Army officers have been visiting and supporting asylum seekers in mainland detention centres for many years. The Salvation Army has also conducted holiday programs for families and children in mainland detention centres and is a contracted provider of Community Detention, supporting vulnerable asylum seekers placed in the community with housing and casework services.
In addition, we assist asylum seekers through the provision of care and assistance packages in a number of centres around Australia.

Rocko's Modern Life
Nickelodeon 52 Episodes
In production 1993 to 1996
Joe Murray Productions & Games Animation
Thank you to Nickelodeon for giving a home to such a warped project as "Rocko's Modern Life". I truly feel like it was an experiment to try and bring personal independent films to episodic television. It came at a time when Cable TV was taking chances with a new direction in cartoons, and it was a great fit. With an insanely talented crew, it developed it's own flavor and an equally original legion of fans.
Thanks to the crew who came along for the adventure, especially Nick Jennings, Steve Hillenburg, Robert Scull, Mark O'Hare, Doug Lawrence, Tim Bjorklund, Derek Dryman, Alan Smart, Howie Parkins, Conrad Vernon, Robert Hughes, KenKessel, Sean Bjorklund, Dan Povenmire, Swampy Marsh, Jeff Myers, George Maestri, Tim Hill, Martin Olson, Tim Barnes, Adrianna Galvez, Carol Wyatt, Chris Savino, Antoine Guibald, Richard Leroy. The wonderful music of composer Pat Irwin and the amazing voice talents of Carlos Alazraqui, Tom Kenny, Mr. Lawrence, Linda Wallem and Charlie Adler, with voice producing help from Suzanne Benton. The new animation landscape of the nineties was ripe for this kind of project. We took some chances that would be hard to do in these current times. But I am very proud of it creatively, and that I brought it in under budget and on schedule. Thanks for watching it!
Where is a Rocko Clip reel? Right here!

When Barack Obama was president of the Harvard Law Review, he faced a heated battle with the law school's Women's Law Association (WLA) because women comprised only 25% of the editors selected for the Review during his tenure.
At that time, the Review's president (with the help of two other editors) oversaw the selection of the new editors of the journal. All Harvard Law students were eligible to apply to the Review at the end of their first year by entering its writing competition, which involved editing an article and/or writing a case comment. New editors were chosen through one of three ways: through their writing competition scores; via a combination of 70% grades and 30% writing scores; or through a supplemental method that included affirmative action.
Obama sparked a heated controversy when 27 men, but only 9 women, were selected for the Review. He blamed the result on an insufficient number of women choosing to compete for editorial slots. The arithmetic flaw with Obama's defense was that women were 40% of the Harvard Law class, 37% of the competitors, and yet only 25% of the editors Obama selected. Under the prior president of the Review (Peter Yu), women were also 37% of the writing competitors but were 41% of selectees. Under Obama's successor (David Ellen), 37% of the new editors were women. Therefore, among these three successive male editors of the Review (two of whom were minorities), only Obama had a dramatic underrepresentation of women editors.
Reacting to the shortfall of new female editors, one of the co-chairs of the Women's Law Association recommended that women should be included in the Review's affirmative action program. As quoted in the Harvard Law Record, the law school's newspaper, Obama rejected that recommendation.
In response, the WLA co-chair said: "It disturbs me that there is this shortage this year and it is even more deeply disturbing if the people running Law Review don't care enough to correct it."
In rebuttal, Jim Chen, an executive editor of the Review under Obama, wrote a letter to the Harvard Law Record that objected to the WLA's call to reinstate affirmative action for women at the Reivew. Chen wrote that such a suggestion was "bigotry and sexism" and that the "misguided Law Review editors who voted in the affirmative action plan" were "racist." The co-chairs of the WLA responded by claiming that the Review's underrepresentation of females was a "disgrace" and attacking Chen for "buying into the language of the oppressor."
Obama then responded with his own letter to the Harvard Law Record, in which he argued that including women in the Review's affirmative action program was "unnecessary." He defended affirmative action policy in general, noting that he had "undoubtedly benefited from affirmative action programs."
Perhaps some "binders full of women" would have helped.

Price realised
HENRY VII (1456-1509), King of England and Lord of Ireland. Document signed ('H[enricus] R[ex]'), a warrant addressed to his Sheriffs, Escheators, Bailiffs and Constables, Calais, 16 November 1492, signed at the head, 25 lines written in brown ink on vellum, one membrane, 320 x 310 mm, royal signet seal (central portion intact, chipped and defective in border; 2 small holes, touching one letter of text; seal area reinforced on verso). Provenance: Sotheby's sale, 14 December 1989, lot 179; the Spiro Family Collection.
A warrant for the investigation of charges of ecclesiastical malpractices including false accounting and fraud: 'We bee credibly informed that certain lands rents and ten[emen]ts with their app[u]rtences bee common to the possessione of diverse abbeyes priouris collegies parish churches chappelles Gildes and Chauntries within our counties of Warwik, Northampton and Worcester and also that diverse of the said places and minstres of the same by colourable wayes of amortisement Without oure sp[ec]ial auctorite or licence therupon obteigned in defraude and abusion of Us'. The enquiry is to be conducted by John Meautis ('our Secretary for the frenshe tong'), John Wylde and Benet Medley (Clerks of the Signet), who are to seize the lands in the King's name. They will be rewarded for their services 'in our great Voiage into the parties of fraunce', and granted £20 a year out of the receipts.
The King had sailed to Calais, with a powerful force of 25,000 foot and 1,600 horse, in October 1492, for the siege of Boulogne. A treaty was signed with Charles VIII of France at Etaples on 3 November, providing peace to last for one year after the death of whichever king should live the longer, and the present document would have been signed at Calais on his return journey. Henry re-entered London in triumph six days later. The legislation of Henry VII's reign relating to ecclesiastical matters included several measures to declare void letters patent granted in the past to abbots and priors and other ecclesiastical officials exempting them from various taxes and obligations, and an important act to curtail abuse of benefit of clergy.

The Bird Sanctuary was created by W.K. Kellogg in 1927 as a refuge for the Canada Goose, and other migratory birds, and was an important part of Trumpeter Swan restoration efforts in the 1980s. The area remains an important stopover location for migrating birds and waterfowl. The Sanctuary offers 180-acres of diverse wildlife habitats situated on 40-acre Wintergreen Lake. The paved Sanctuary trail runs besides the lake, offering a great view of our resident waterfowl, and runs through our bird of prey and gamebird areas. It is an ideal spot for families, classrooms, birders, wildlife photographers, and nature enthusiasts.

Sodium-ion batteries could replace existing lithium-ion technology following the successful test of the world's first sodium-ion powered e-bike, produced by British company Faradion.
Despite only having been in development for four years, the sodium-ion technology already offers a comparable energy density and performance to that of existing lithium-ion batteries.
Faradion also claims that sodium-ion batteries have significant advantages as they can be produced at around 30 per cent lower cost thanks to the abundance of sodium salts – which cost one tenth of the price of equivalent salts in lithium-ion batteries – and lower electrolyte costs.
"What we're saying is with sodium-ion, performance-wise we are equivalent to lithium-ion, safety-wise we have numerous advantages, and cost-wise we've got clear advantages," explained Dr Ruth Sayers, manager of Faradion's prototype facility, speaking exclusively to E&T.
As well as the lower cost of the initial materials, producing sodium-ion batteries would also be cheaper as they could be manufactured using the same methods and equipment as those used to make lithium-ion batteries.
Sayers said: "Cost-wise off the batteries, we are looking at a third [off] compared to lithium-ion. We are [also] talking about comparable production rates [because] one of the aspects is [that] you can produce a sodium-ion battery on exactly the same manufacturing line that you produce a lithium-ion one in terms of the equipment, the method of making them, the technology that's actually required to build those cells. Really, the cost saving is about your starting materials."
The sodium-ion batteries can also be transported in a much safer manner than their lithium-ion alternatives, as the batteries are able to be discharged to 0V and then stored and transported. Lithium-ion batteries have to be transported in a charged state, which leaves them vulnerable to fire risks.
Faradion initially developed the sodium-ion technology to be used primarily for energy storage, but with the successful demonstration of the "proof of concept" e-bike it could now be put to use in other applications, such as electric vehicles, thanks to their performance against lithium-ion products already on the market.
Sayers said: "You could literally put a lithium-ion and a sodium-ion side-by-side and if they if weren't labelled there is nothing to tell you what the difference would be."

Mila Kunis goes to the ball
Mila Kunis became the latest celebrity to make it to the 236th annual Marine Corps Ball this week. Fresh off being named GQ's Man of the Year, Kunis was the distinguished date of Sgt. Scott Moore at the Greenville, N.C., soiree.
A few months ago Moore, of the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, posted a short YouTube clip asking Kunis to accompany him to this year's ball. It took a few months until the clip went viral, but eventually it created an interesting trend of people asking out celebrities online. Justin Timberlake and Kristin Cavallari wound up attending the balls. Scarlett Johansson and Betty White had to pass.
According to People magazine, a fellow Marine said that Kunis "was very nice and very respectful."
The event focused on the troops that couldn't make it to the ball. Moore's unit lost seven men earlier this year, as Moore tweeted about it shortly beforehand: "Tonight is for you 7 Betio Bastards!" Apparently Kunis, who was wearing a black dress, seemed to be really into the traditions and ceremonies. Marine spokesman Capt. Scott Sasser said before the ball that "She's going to get a chance to learn about the Marine Corps, and we're all going to have a great time celebrating the Marine Corps birthday." After the event Sasser said only that the two were "enjoying the night."

|Re: non blocking Cassandra with Tornado

Thanks for the link. It is more of a thrift thing, perhaps I need to do some tests where the web handler sends the get_slice to cassandra but never calls recv to see what could happen. I'll take a look at the Java binding and see what it would take to offer a patch to Thrift. Most people coding Python (including the guy sitting next to me) would probably so to use the thrift Twisted binding. May also take a look at the avro bindings.

G.A.R. Thomas and Johnson Post
G.A.R. – Thomas and Johnson Post
1880 – 1933
2 mss boxes, 10 volumes
Manuscripts & Rare Books Division
Indiana State Library
Processed by: Philip N. Williams, 1998
Reprocessed by: Sarah Pfundstein, January, 2013
Organizational History:
The G.A.R., The Grand Army of the Republic, was the largest and most influential organization of Union veterans of the Civil War. It was founded at Decatur, Illinois, in April 1866 by Dr. Benjamin F. Stephenson, formerly a surgeon of the 14th Illinois Infantry. Through most of their history, local posts were primarily fraternal organizations whose ritual and procedures had a military flavor. From the start, the Grand Army was an oath-bound society, dedicated to the principles of "fraternity, charity, and loyalty." The George H. Thomas Post was the Indianapolis chapter of the G.A.R.
During the first couple of years, many local posts, notably in Indiana, were little more than radical Republican campaign clubs; but, in 1869, the national encampment (convention) adopted a regulation (never significantly altered) that forbade the use of the organization for partisan purposes. In 1949, six of the sixteen surviving veterans of the organization met in Indianapolis for the 83rd and last national encampment.
Information Found within Collection
Scope and Content:
The collection contains mostly documents from the George H. Thomas post #17 in Indianapolis. These include meeting minutes, ledger, muster, account, dues, receipts, ritual and ceremonial books. Also included are correspondence, pamphlets, an organizational plate, a souvenir of Decoration Day, and other organizational paperwork. Also included in the collection are photocopies of the meetings minutes from the Johnson post #368 in Montpelier (1884-1894).
Photocopy Policy:
Manuscript material CANNOT be photocopied or digitized in its entirety. Photocopies and/or digital reproductions (i.e. scans, digital photographs) cannot exceed 25% of a COLLECTION or FOLDER within a collection. In some cases, photocopying may not be permitted due to the condition of the item. Please check with the Manuscript Librarian for possible alternatives.
