Getting Started
What Educational Seismology has to offer
One of the most exciting moments after installing a new seismic station in a high school classroom is recording an earthquake. Students leave their desks; teachers stop mid-sentence, as if the classroom beneath their feet were shaking! Earthquakes are a fascinating, powerful, and uncontrollable force that capture the attention of people young and old, and naturally lend themselves to engaging students in the classroom.
National Science Education Standards
Seismology offers unique opportunities to enrich earth science and physics curriculum. Beyond the specific content standards in earth science such as structure of the earth system, energy in the earth system and earth history, the national science education standards emphasize content standards in areas such as science and technology, science in personal and social perspectives, and the history and nature of science, all of which can be addressed with earthquake studies.
The most engaging method to teach earth science is to involve students in questioning and problem solving. A seismometer in the classroom raises awareness of earthquake activity around the world and promotes student questions about earthquake location and frequency of events. At the 6-12th grade levels, real-time seismic data can be used to explore earthquakes, plate tectonics and its driving forces. In physics classrooms seismic data can be used to teach lessons on force, friction, wave propagation, and engineering design.
What is the first step?
There are opportunities to include seismology in the classroom with or without a physical seismometer. Check out our Resources page for more information!
There are a number of companies selling educational seismometers. While IRIS does not recommend a particular instrument, check out the Seismometers page to see the options!
We will be unable to offer a educational seismometer distribution and workshop this Fall 2012. We will not be accepting any new applications at this time. This is due to the continued difficulty in obtaining instruments. We are committed to this program, and we are searching for a solution that will allow us to continue to support our existing teachers. We hope to be able to reinstate our training program and instrument distribution soon.

Qatar design competition to transform a former flour mill in Doha into an art gallery has drawn big names from around the globe.
The Art Mill is located next to the Museum of Islamic Art and near the under-construction National Museum of Qatar.
Italian architect Renzo Piano, who is responsible for the design of Qatar-owned Shard in London, is among eight designers who have been shortlisted, according to Qatar Museums.
It also said the Italy-based atelier Renzo Piano Building Workshop is among the finalists, Doha News reports.
QM Chairperson Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al Thani said that the finalists' list was expanded from five to eight companies owing to the ability of the contenders.
READ MORE: In pictures: The site for massive new Qatar Art Mill design competition
"So we are delighted that the practices who persuaded the jury through their concept drawings and models reflect this diversity. They bring international perspectives as well as cultural sensitivity to this inspirational project for Qatar.
"The creative challenge here can't really be overstated. This project offers a chance to redefine museum architecture, to crystalize the very latest thinking on audience engagement, technology and environmental strategies."
The shortlist of seven firms includes two Japanese architects, one from the US, one from Chile, two European firms and one from Turkey.
The finalists' list was compiled from a list of 26 contenders and the selected firms are:
• Adam Khan Architects (UK);
• Atelier Bow-Wow (Japan);
• EAA Emre Arolat Architecture (Turkey);
• Elemental (Chile);
• junya.ishigami + associates (Japan);
• Mangado & Asociados (Spain);
• Renzo Piano Building Workshop (Italy); and
• Rice+Lipka Architects (US)
While some of the finalists have gained international fame, others who have been chosen have yet to make a name globally.
The finalists were selected from a total of 489 applications from 56 countries.
More detailed design briefs will be developed after further information about plans for the now-disused vast space will be supplied.
The test for the architects is to remodel a huge space in warehouses and silos formerly used by Qatar Flour Mills.
That entails redesigning the 80,000m² industrial site into gallery and exhibition space with a modern design, while also containing education and conference facilities, conservation and storage areas and dedicated family spaces.
The winning practice will be announced after final interviews with the participating firms in early fall, QM said in a statement.

Absolutely Incredible Photo: Frog Launches With LADEE
Oh my! We're not sure to laugh or cry on this one (maybe both). This frog gives new meaning to "flying leap," (or giant leap). This little guy was obviously startled by the ignition of the Minotaur V rocket that launched the LADEE spacecraft last Friday.
We've confirmed this image is in fact an actual photo taken by one of NASA's remote cameras set up for the launch on September 6, 2013 from the Wallops/Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport. Wallops spokesman Jeremy Eggers confirms the picture is legitimate and was not altered in any way.
However, we cannot say with any certainty that no frog was harmed in the making of this picture.
Why would a frog be hanging around a launchpad? The launchpad at the Wallops/Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport has a "pool" for the high-volume water deluge system that activates during launches to protect the pad from damage and for noise suppression, and likely there was a (formerly) damp, cool place that was a nice spot for a frog to hang out.
Also, NASA has noted that like Kennedy Space Center, the Wallops Island Spaceport sits among a wildlife refuge. The 3,000 acre Wallops Island National Wildlife Refuge is comprised mainly of salt marsh and woodlands and is a habitat for a variety of species, including frogs. NASA writes:
"But how is it possible for wildlife to peacefully coexist with space operations and what effects do rocket launches have on wildlife? NASA's launch facilities, roads, and facilities take up a small percentage of the area. The rest of the area remains undeveloped and provides excellent habitat for wildlife. During launches, short term disturbance occurs in the immediate vicinity of the launch pads, but the disturbance is short-lived allowing space launches and a wildlife habitat to coexist."
This is not the first animal oddity to be included in a launch. There are several images of birds flying away from space shuttle launches, and in fact, during the STS-114 launch, a turkey vulture ran into the shuttle's orange fuel tank (see video below). There was the famous space bat from the STS-119 shuttle launch in 2009, and recently the SpaceX Grasshopper test launch startled a herd of cows:
Turkey Vulture meets space shuttle:
Thanks to Karl Hille from NASA Goddard for helping to track down and verify this image.
Update (9/12/13): NASA has now posted the picture on their Solar System Exploration website (I initially found it on imgur with no credit or source info).

Frog's wife: "Don't go near that big shuttle thing!"
Frog: "Don't worry dear…I'm fine…YAAAAHHHH!"
Frog's wife: "I toad you so!"
Turkey Vulture. No such bird in FL called a Turkey Buzzard.
Noted, thanks.
Actually, Wikipedia gives several names from different regions, but I guess they're called everything from "vulture" to "buzzard" to "crow" depending on where you are. Nasty things, but good for the ecology of course.
how sad. NASA and other space agencies MUST take care of this situation, otherwise space exploration will be stained with the blood of inocent animals, like the whole human history.
If you look at it this way it already has been stained. Animals were first in space – the Russians sent the dog Laika first, and both the US and Russia sent monkeys. Many of those were one way missions and they died. NASA regularly sends animals to the ISS for testing and before that on the Shuttle, likewise with the Russians on the Mir station.
It's just a frog. You and I are indirectly responsible for the deaths of innocent animals because we live in an industrialized society. Habitats are being destroyed and the eco-system is being altered because of us. If you eat meat, fish, and poultry like I do, then you are responsible for the deaths of innocent animals. All carnivores kill innocent animals. Often these deaths are brutal. Your immune system is responsible for the death of countless microbes. Unless you get your energy directly from the sun like a plant does, your very existence necessitates the death of other organisms. Life is not possible without death. It is a cycle. The launch of rockets has caused the death of some animals. Compared to what goes on everyday on this planet, it's just a drop in the bucket.
it was so ribbeted by the spectacle it didn't clear the area in time…
Why would we assume this frog wasn't having the time of it's life? It looks calm and collected–like it's done this before.
is it a frog or a sky diver with parachute!!! 😛
- Member
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'til touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the frog they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket frog
Rocket frog burning out his fuse up here alone

"The subject matter is super, super dark — like a lot of it is stories about being down on your luck. That informs the crux of the narrative. It asks the question: 'Why should an artist suffer for their art?'"
Eamon McGrath talks July, music and writing his first tour memoir
Years ago, singer-songwriter Eamon McGrath started a band in Toronto with longtime pal and fellow Edmonton expat Peter Dreimanis.
A little band called July Talk.
McGrath, however, has never been content with focusing on one project. He's one of those ridiculously prolific artists who needs to work on a bunch of different things — so he left July Talk in 2012, but not before co-writing and recording songs such as Guns + Ammunition for the band's self-titled debut.
The rockers are now poised to become one of Canada's next biggest phenoms, thanks to their kick-ass second album, Touch, and their one-of-a-kind shows, featuring the unpredictable antics of Dreimanis and co-vocalist Leah Fay.
Meanwhile, McGrath is happily juggling his own folk-punk solo career, playing in Julie Doiron & The Wrong Guys, and running a booking agency, Flix, to help Canadian acts line up European tours. He's also publishing a fictionalized tour memoir, Berlin-Warszawa Express, on ECW Press next May.
McGrath performs Tuesday, Nov. 29 at The Needle Vinyl Tavern. It's the official after-party for the first of July Talk's two sold-out shows at Union Hall. (The rockers also perform Dec. 2.)
Q: How did you and Peter start July Talk?
A: Peter and I grew up together in Edmonton. When he moved out to Toronto, he started playing keyboards in my band and we toured a lot together. This was in 2010, 2011 … and we came up with this plan of also starting a three-piece band with drummer Danny Miles. We wanted the means to go across Canada as one band — and come back east as another.
Eventually, Peter's songs started needing more and more instrumentation, so more people got added to the fold and then Leah joined the band, and so on. In 2012, we were about a year into July Talk, and then Peter and I both (separately) got signed to The Agency Group at the same time. So when my album, Young Canadians, came out, I had to part ways with the band. We had two separate booking agents working on our routes and it would've been impossible to co-ordinate. There's no way I could've been in two places at once. That's just how it went. It was totally amicable.
Q: So how did you end up joining Julie Doiron & The Wrong Guys?
A: They were all regulars at a bar I worked at in Toronto called Saving Gigi. I was there all the time and they would come in, and eventually, we'd talk about music and close the place down. Julie had a bunch of shows booked and needed a band, so it just kind of happened naturally and one thing led to another — we played a few shows, then we got offered a little bit of touring, so then we thought we should press a 7-inch and get some merch. And then Mike (Peters) wrote a grant application and it got approved, so we recorded an album.
Q: When did you start writing your tour memoir?
A: That was another accidental thing that happened. I started writing it, without really knowing I was doing it, back in 2012. I used to write a lot on trains when I was on tour in Europe — I don't want to say journal entries, but it was almost like I was trying to be a foreign correspondent or something. Then I realized there was a narrative arc that wove itself through all of it and when I got home in 2013, I typed all of it out. Just pages and pages and pages of stuff. I told Dave Bidini from the Rheostatics I was kind of working on something and I thought maybe he could look at it and give me a few pointers. Instead, he took what I had written and sent it to his editor (at ECW Press), which was not at all what I was expecting. So I went from typing out stuff on my computer to meeting a publisher seven days later and signing a book deal.
Q: Your mom, Wendy McGrath, is a writer. Did she give you any advice?
A: I sent it to her and asked her what she thought. The subject matter is super, super dark — a lot of it is stories about being down on your luck. That informs the crux of the narrative. It asks the question: "Why should an artist suffer for their art?" So there are some hellish tour stories — I obviously exaggerated some things, but there are a lot of things I downplayed, too.
I thought if the writing is good enough, my mom will be able to read it as a reader and maybe not be worried about me. If the writing stinks, then all she'll talk about is: "Do you need to see somebody?" But she never brought any of that stuff up. All she did was talk to me about the writing. So that was a real litmus test for me.
Q: And what inspired you to start a booking agency?
A: Truthfully, I just didn't want to go to a crappy job. I've been doing freelance audio-lighting and carpentry and all that work ends up being so mundane and also can be kind of dangerous. I remember being on a site one day and realizing I wanted to go through life with all my fingers. It's that simple.
I've booked enough tours for myself, so it made sense to help others. A huge part of me does it because I want to give back to the punk community. A lot of people have really gone out of the way to help me make a living doing this. If a lot more people gave back, I think the community would be more tight-knit and effective.

When it is time to release the parent-reared cranes, we are each assigned one or two to watch, everyday. Two of the birds released early in the program were female, 26-17 and male 28-17.
We let them go near the known roosting site of adult Whooping cranes 27-14(F) and 10-11(M) in Grand River Marsh which is a large complex of public and private lands in Marquette County. Depending on the landowners, the public side can inaccessible and in this case, we had to rely mostly on their radio transmitters, without visual confirmation.
Number 28-17 is the only bird without a remote transmitter and naturally, he took off almost immediately to parts unknown. In fact this was the last we saw of him:Occasionally, we would get a signal but he has been moving around and is hard to track.
The female, on the other hand, has stayed mostly in one spot using great habitat, but in a very limited range. We always got a signal from the adult, 27-14 in the same general area but it's seems they were never actually together. The adult male's transmitter is non-functional. On the rare occasion that we did get a glimpse of either her or the adults, they were always alone.
A week or so ago we arrived just in time to see two adult whooping cranes land beside her. We thought the target pair were finally paying some attention to her but it turned out to be Peanut (4-14) and his friend 11-15.
Over the next few days the trio was spotted by Jo-Anne and Heather and then again by Wisconsin DNR Pilot Matthew Brandt.
Without access to the marsh for behavioral observations, we can't tell whether the chick wasn't interested in the assigned target pair or it was the other way around. Each situation appears to be different, depending on the personalities or the mood of the birds involved.
Over several weeks 26-17 and the target pair never seemed to work it out, but after only a short time together Peanut and his friend struck up a relationship with our lonely female chick and yesterday, it appears they began leading her south. Her remote tracking device indicates they left Grand River Marsh and flew to LaSalle County Illinois. That would make her the first PR bird to migrate this year – we think. Her release-buddy: male #28-17 could be in Florida for all we know.

text: yeah the FAQ, i've noticed a majority of the threads being posted with basic questions like "HOW TO USE CHEATSSS?" or "WTF IS THIS???? ACEKARD 2 IS SUXOR" and people not doing much research at all. so here it is, this is assuming you know the basics of flashcard though, this is for general problems with the cart. ==================================================================== FAQ 1. What's the best microsd? 2. What Menu should I use? 3. WHERE ARE THE OPTIONS? 4. How do I use cheats? 5. WTH????? WHY CAN'T I PLAY SUPER MARIO DS MINIGAMES????? ( Some games don't work?) 6. HOW TO SOFT REST? IT DOESN'T SAY HOW ANYWHERE??!??!?!??! 7. is it worth the buy? 8. Processing.... DO NOT POWER OFF ===================================================================== 1. Whats the Best MicroSD card? Well most people would say a class 6 card. Personally i would say the A-data 4gb card which you can purchase here A-data 4gb Class6 TURBO 2. What Menu should I use? At the moment there is a small collection of menu's which you can use on the acekard. the Official Menu, Bliss's OS menu and YSmenu. The best one at this point in time is most likely Bliss's OS menu which has the most goodies. The only difference that Bliss's menu has over the Official menu is just general user-friendliness and some added goodies. However this soon may change with the upcoming release of AKBBS 2.0 or AKAIO. Just wait and see 3. WHERE ARE THE OPTIONS? Well the best place to start is the "start" button on the bottom screen. From here you can Copy/Cut/Paste Access game patches (Soft rest, Download and play, Cheats e.t.c) View System options (Skins, Language, Brightness, Rom Trimming and many other things) View File properties (view file size, type e.t.c) Help function (general controls of the menu and a power off button) You can Also change the brightness of the screen by Pressing the Right Trigger and go back in the browser by pressing the Left Trigger. Y will show the properties of the file and X will show the cheats for that game if you have loaded a cheat DB. 4. How do I use cheats? To start off with using cheats we have to be sure of one thing first. Do you have a Cheat database loaded? to do this we gotta do these few things. Access the start menu and go to the patches screen Go down to Cheat/Action Replay and scroll it to Enabled if it isn't already Then select a Cheat DB file If you do not have a cheat DB file, download a Cheat db from Narin, which is located here http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=84991 Download the .dat or .xml either way works. Place the file in ak2/cheats on your microsd card. From here cancel out of the options and go to the desired game you want to cheat on and press X. a menu should pop up showing the possible cheats you can use.

IT DOESN'T SAY HOW ANYWHERE??!??!?!??! After Enabling it in the patches menu the combination is A+B+R+L+DOWN Just note some games won't work with this on but whats a few extra seconds to turn the ds off and turn it back on? 7. is it worth the buy? Hell yes, the AK2 is a extremely good budget card. Offers almost everything (Hopefully Soon to be RTS, Ingame Menu and Ingame Guide!) at the price of $23 US 8. Processing.... DO NOT POWER OFF some people are getting the problem where any games wouldn't load at all including homebrew. This is due to the last bad batch, advice from acekard is to contact the seller and see if you can get a replacement. ================================================================================ ================ Pretty much it for now. any other questions that need to be answered feel free to reply.

Carmen Sandiego's Secret Hideout Was In Clarksburg
I just love our computer age and how people trust the Internet to provide infallible information. I especially love how drivers trust the directions that float down from the map gods of cyberspace.
Having been a reconnaissance platoon leader in the U. S. Army, I trust old-fashioned, paper maps. If I want to travel from point A to point B, I look for a paper map to guide me. I do not trust Internet maps.
Take my residence for example. You cannot locate it by using MapQuest, Google or Yahoo. Ever since MapQuest went online, the service has located my domicile about two miles south and west from its actual site to a spot on Old Davisson Run Road, a secondary road.
I live on Davisson Run Road, the fast lane, state Route 98, also known as Clarksburg's South Bypass. So MapQuest performed bypass surgery and grafted me onto another neighborhood where, presumably, people live in the slow lane. Yahoo must rely on MapQuest, or the same source data, because it displays the same (wrong) map location.
Google, on the other hand, is the mother lode of all information. Google is infallible. Google has mapped the Earth and scanned every book published since Gutenberg's Bible. Google does not use the map god's directions. Google is The God.
And so it is that Google, The God, points to my domicile as being located at 300 Davisson Run Road. Google even provides a street-level view of the entrance driveway.
Google goes the extra mile in its map search. Google tells us that 500 Davisson Run Road is also located at the same spot as 300 Davisson Run Road. When I say that Google goes the extra mile, I mean this: 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, and even 1000 Davisson Run Road all show up at 300 Davisson Run Road.
But wait! Reboot your computer, go back to Google, and search these addresses again. On this go around, Google might point you to the same spot on Old Davisson Run that MapQuest and Yahoo point to.
You cannot get here from anywhere if you rely on the cyberspace map gods.
The best computer map story I have heard came from a nurse. Her agency supplied her with a laptop and map software. One day, she had to drive from Shinnston to Smithburg. Her laptop selected the shortest route which took her across Five Points hill, a place so-named because five county roads meet at the top of the hill.
Five Points is a place accessible usually by Jeep or Land Rover. Fortunately for our nurse, her trusty sedan made it through, but at the cost of an extra hour driving time to save a few miles.
As smart as computers purport to be, they are illogical linear thinkers when it comes to routing a trip. Why? Because computer programmers are illogical linear thinkers.
A friend of mine who trusts his OnStar recently took a scenic, backroads trip from Ithaca, N.Y., to Rochester. I would have looked at a road map and opted to drive to Elmira and then follow Interstate 86 and Interstate 390 to Rochester.
Just for kicks, I asked Google for directions from Elmira to Rochester. Google, The God, ignored the Interstate 86 routing because it was several miles longer than backcountry New York Route 14 to Watkins Glen and along Seneca Lake.
When I travel, I know that Interstates are the fastest way regardless of mileage. If I have time to sightsee, then I will do a map recon. In this regard, I am like John Travolta as "Michael" when he detoured to see the world's biggest ball of twine.
Now that's a real map quest!
If you are looking for Carmen Sandiego, she has gone. I will miss her as she has been a good tenant. But she had insisted on a lease clause that allowed her to terminate should I ever divulge the secret nature of 640 Davisson Run Road, and by extension, Carmen's sublet.
"Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" went off the air a year or so before 640 Davisson Run Road was built, and the U.S. Postal Service provided it with a street address instead of a rural route and box number. That's when Carmen showed up and why you haven't found her since.
Carmen, best wishes in finding your new safe house. Let me know when you are settled in, and I will forward your security deposit.

Barnes & Noble Prepping What They Hope Will Be a Kindle-Killer
But it won't be out until sometime next year.
Behemoth book chain Barnes & Noble announced today that they have partnered with a company called Plastic Logic to develop an e-book reader similar to Amazon's Kindle. Although the product won't be out until sometime next year, it's not too early to start wondering which scenario this will most closely resemble: Will it be like when the BlackBerry usurped the Palm Pilot, or closer to how the Zune totally failed to dent iPod business? Our advice? They had better make sure they have a color screen. [MarketWatch]

California gas prices are astronomically high, especially when compared to other states in the US. While Chicago currently has the highest gas prices in the continental US, 9 out 10 of the counties with the highest gas prices can all be found in the state of California.
According to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report, the average price in the US for a gallon of unleaded regular gas is $3.86. Gas prices are expected to continue rising as the turmoil in the Middle East rages on, the dollar continues to weaken (which is bad for US gas prices) and the peak summer driving season approaches.
According to Gas Buddy, Honolulu, HI, has the highest prices in the US, where the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded is currently $4.41 per gallon.
Gas prices in Anchorage, AK, are very high, too, but not high enough to make the Top 10 List. In Alaska, gas prices are averaging $4.13 per gallon.
If you look at this chart, borrowed from the gas price experts – GasBuddy.com, you can see for yourself.
The Top 10 Counties with Highest Gas Prices in the Continental US:
- Chicago, IL – $4.304
- Santa Barbara, CA – $4.269
- San Francisco, CA – $4.263
- San Jose, CA – $4.233
- Oakland, CA – $4.220
- Los Angeles, CA – $4.218
- Ventura, CA – $4.212
- Orange County, CA – $4.209
- Salinas, CA – $4.197
- San Diego, CA – $4.197

I posted this a week or so ago, but it seems the post has disappeared. My question was how the height-diameter ratio is determined for UASB or EGSB type digesters. I can't seem to find this information anywhere. I have been told that the height needs to be much larger than the diameter to prevent biomass washout.
I am currently working on a project building a small scale, laboratory anaerobic digester and I am trying to decide the dimensions of the digester itself. I would greatly appreciate ANY advice.

A quick snapshot of my portfolio's year-on-year performance (accurate as of 30 Dec 2016)
- Market value of portfolio has increased almost 14.62% from S$301k to S$345k. Pure capital appreciation represents 5.32% of that increment while the remaining 9.3% represents fresh injection of funds.
- Total annual dividends collected has decreased 8% from S$16, 835 to S$15, 492 as I subscribed to significant amounts of SCRIPS/DRIPS offered by DBS, OCBC, MLT and RMG in 2016. If I had taken dividends instead, the total amount of dividends collected this year would have increased marginally to S$17, 270, which is still way off the target I made last year.
- Total Returns: $16k (capital appreciation) + $15,492 (dividends) = S$31,492
Walking A Thin Line in 2016
In 2016, I humbly re-learnt an important lesson from Mr Market - a stock is only as good as its fundamentals at the end of the day. The financial figures don't lie, especially over a few quarters. This prompted me to divest my Starhub, M1 and Cache positions completely. Fortunately, the dividends that I collected from these companies over the years have helped me to get out while barely in the black. My decision turned out to be right as their prices continued to tumble throughout 2016.
On the other side of the coin, my 'buy on dips' strategy for DBS, OCBC and UOB worked out pretty well. Their fundamentals remain robust despite the temporary weakness in the O&G, business and property loan sectors. I found myself walking a thin line when I had to make a judgement call. Questions like 'Is this a short-term scare?' 'Is a reversal of fortunes remotely possible?' 'Has the fundamentals changed permanently?' would flow into my mind. Navigating through seismic global events such as Brexit and Trump's election victory certainly did not make it any easier.
2017 Strategy - Passive Income Longevity
I would not allow the Fed rate hike cycle to derail my dividend investing style in 2017. In a world with low returns and uncertain markets, I shall maintain a sharp focus on high-quality companies with healthy balance sheets, sustainable earnings and dividend payouts in defensive sectors such as healthcare. In my opinion, global macro-economic growth will remain subdued with geo-political tensions arising from elections in France and Germany, official start of Brexit negotiations and Trump's first year in the White House. If the banking crisis currently unfolding in Italy requires a bailout package from EU a few months from now, will Germany and France (1st & 2nd largest economies in EU) have the political will to save Italy in the middle of an election campaign? Knowing that using taxpayers' money to help Italy is likely to lose them votes, the leaders of France and Germany probably would not want to put their political careers at risk. Or at the very least, they would drag their feet and delay financial assistance to Italy until their elections are concluded. By then, the problem might have deteriorated into a full-blown crisis. Remember the Greek sovereign debt crisis (Grexit) back in 2012 and 2014, anyone?

And can he uncover the real killer in time to save the life of the accused? It's a dark mystery, but R.E.B.E.L.S. star Adam Strange arrives in time to help find answers…even though the truth may blow apart the civilized trappings of Kandorian society in the process.

"I have been a keen follower of the activities of GUBA and I must say they have done a brilliant job, especially in helping to consolidate the economic, social and tourism link between the UK and Ghana.
"We should all stand ready to support GUBA. The cooperation between public and private sector players will only help to steer on Ghana's development as we seek to create wealth, prosperity and jobs for our people."
Other video tributes were played, including those from veteran broadcaster John Snow and Former First Lady Cherie Blair.

Well finally the board game packaging I designed called BBQ Blitz has been released.
Theres a link below so you can check some product photos out. They should give you a good idea of how it turned out. I was pretty pleased in the end. Should be gettiing a sample any time now from the team over at Educational insights over in U.S.
December 2011
Had the great pleasure of doing some T-Shirt designs for Marvel Comics (Licence owned by Disney) I was given access to use all they're original line art work and go to town with my own style. It was a great little project and I hope to do more in the new year.
More shinnanagans with Phil Reece this month hooking up with Chemical Records to do a line of Hi end T-Shirts for the consciencious Tee wearer. They will be out to buy in the new year from chemical-records.co.uk Can't wait to get my hands on the finished threads. Look out for my Hero73 Tag on them. Possibly Hoodies too.
November 2011
Been busy at Aardmans stop motion animating on a commercial for Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Sauce. This won't be released til April so no pics I'm afraid till then.
It was directed by the very talented Merlin Crossingham mostly known for his sterling animation work on Wallace and Gromit and Creature Comfort idents and commercials amongst many other projects.
September 2011
Been a long while since updating my site. My lovely lady wife Lola and I had a beautiful baby boy 'Vinny' and have dedicated the last 6 months to watching him grow. I've been lucky to have been able to work from home doing Old Mexican wrestling poster style Record sleeve Art for my good friend Phil at DefaceDesign. It's for a distribution company called DMS that have just launched they're new office in Ireland. Theyre the same company Phil and I did Pete Goss's Yacht graphics for. (See ref on Illustration page). I have also been juggling fatherhood with pitches for Wrigley's, SPAM ( Yes It does still exhist and is a massive staple meal in Hawaii apparently??? ) I have also been doing more screen prints which have gone off to auction in Sydney through Art republic. I have also designed the packaging for a company called Educational Insights that focuses on cool board games for kids. I had a lot of fun designing the box for a game called BBQ Blitz which you can see in my Illustration section.
I hooked up with a great comedy writer Ben Thompson from Hoot Comedy. He is a mutual mate of graff artist extrardinaire Inkie. Ben and I subsequently have been working on a very hush hush series idea that will hopefully get kids bouncing off the walls....literally!!! Were all really happy with the art work so far and is super rich in it's look. Sadly I cannot divulge much more but will defo keep you posted. Iv'e also been developing a WII game for a preschool show but thats a slow burner. Again i can't say too much. That's all for the moment. Keep checking in!

Eircom Telecommunications TV Ad and Hotels.com
I have just finished Directing Designning and Animating a cute little job for Aardman Animations,
It's for Eircom Telecommunications. Loads of fun with Russian dolls.
Previous to that I was one of the key animators on a Hotels.com commercial for the U.S and french Canadians. We had to animate the lip synch shots in both languages which was a touch taxing if you don't speak french.
Click on the Images to link through to the ads on youtube...Enjoy!
April 2010
Double Vinyl Art release:
Kick Started this month with a tidy little job via a couple of good old mates, Phil Reese of Deface Design & Matt Booth. I was briefed with no more than the title 'Crushing the Great North/South Divide which will be a compilation on double CD and Vinyl of fresh music artists from the two poles of the UK. It's great to get such an open brief to just go a bit mental and loose and see what happens. It went down a storm so keep a look out for it. I will post better images soon once it gets pressed and printed. Pink Vinyl....mmm bubblicious!
There will be a phat launch party in Brighton in May me thinks!
Art Print for Ink-Dot:
Decided to join submit a print design for the next up and coming Ink-Dot exhibition in the Gallery above The Howies store, The triangle Bristol. The theme is 'Escape' so I had the idea of a beast escaping the clutches of hunters whilst he himself hunts fresh prey, but to no avail as they too escape off into the sun. Not sure if it's a sad or happy ending???
Launch party is 17th June and the exhibition will run for 2 weeks. The last one had long cues outside so get there early. I have just submitted this design so hopefully it will get picked.
The Tee shirt was an extra. Could be a summer Tee!
Temwa Charity Auction:
I just hand painted a deck for the Temwa Charity Auction. I was give a plain deck and wood stained the character and used a minimal pallette. Hope it fetches a few bob as it's for a very worthy cause building a sustainable future for kids in Malawi. The event is at The Attic Bar bottom of stokes Croft on Friday 21st May.
March 2010 ( See Illustration section for images and older posts)
I thought I would paste up a couple of pics of a quick piece I did in a new bar in East London called 'The Queen of Hoxton'. Other Artists that contributed were, The Pirates, Pete Fowler Eddie Fett, Pure Evil, Stephanie Haddow and Remi and Good Wives and Warriors. I will also be touring with INKIE, CHEO, DYLAN SHIPLEY,FLX in the SECRET WARS doodle Battles. Malmo vs Bristol (27th March @ Secret Venue) then Bristol vs Glasgow (14th May @ Start the Bus Bristol.)

I've already posted about the Free Download Manager. Recently I've checked and they have a new version, which enables you to download videos from YouTube, Google Video, Blennus, DailyMotion, LiveDigital and MySpaces. Probably the list of supported sites will keep expanding.
It enables you to automatically convert the downloaded Flash video (.flv) to some of the popular video formats - .avi, .mpg, .mp4, .wmv, etc.
It comes also with a built-in (as an option) torrent downloader.

Your tyres are the only point of contact between your Land Rover and the
road. They not only affect the acceleration, steering and stopping
distance of your car but also contribute hugely to the vehicle's fuel
economy and reduction of CO2 emissions. This is why regular maintenance
and correct replacements are a key consideration. When road surfaces
become more treacherous, for example following rain, the condition of
your tyres is an even greater priority.
Tread depth is very important for the safety of your vehicle and is also the best signal of the heath of your tyres. Motorists driving with tyres under the legal limit (1.6 mm) also risk a fine. You can purchase an easy to use tread depth guage so you can monitor your own tyres in detail. If you are unsure or believe they are reaching their legal limit, give us a call and one of our knowlegeable staff members will be happy assit you.
Here at Harwoods Land Rover our trained technicians can check the tread depth, pressure, appearance and overall condtion of your tyres. If any need to be replaced, we will provide you with the same high quality of the factory fitted originals at competitive prices. All servicing and repair work is carried out using Land Rover Genuine Parts. Each individual component is designed and manufactured to the original specification, to work in conjunction with and not affect other operating systems in the vehicle.

Our online forum of news and insight from across the fixed income and derivatives industries
The impact of MiFID II will be extensive, and will affect everyone engaged in the dealing and the processing of financial instruments. With implementation less than a year away, market participants are accelerating their preparations to stay compliant in the new regulatory regime. As a long-standing operator of regulated electronic marketplaces, Tradeweb is ideally placed to help its clients get ready to navigate the changing trading landscape.Last month, we launched a series of MiFID II-focused webinars providing insight on key regulatory technical points and implementation, as well as their impact on market structure and daily workflows. Our inaugural session covered the practical aspects emerging around the new rules, including Tradeweb's technical roadmap and implementation timeline.Regulatory statusMiFID II and MiFIR represent significant changes for key aspects of fixed income and OTC derivatives markets in Europe, including the introduction of the OTF (Organised Trading Facility) category. However, MTFs (Multilateral Trading Facilities) have existed since MiFID I for all financial instruments. Tradeweb has operated an MTF since 2007. In fact, we have been regulated by the UK's FCA since we launched our European business in 2000. This differentiates us from a number of other platforms that have been or will be applying for regulated venue status and must, therefore, put in place new arrangements with their users.RFQ protocol changesWhen ESMA was drafting its pre-trade transparency RTS, there were concerns that a proposal to publish RFQ responses as and when received would create a disincentive to quote and increase execution risk. After extensive engagement with regulators, clients and other platforms, our collection window concept was incorporated in the final RTS. Under this concept, RFQ responses become executable and are made public only after the collection window is ended by the requester.While the final rules do not significantly alter the way the RFQ trading protocol currently operates, the main change pertains to the publication of pre- and post-trade transparency information. For fixed income and derivatives instruments, the exact information and timing will depend on the liquidity status of each security and the size of the trade – with the SSTI and LIS levels being different for pre-trade and post-trade transparency.To help firms understand the transparency regime that will apply to their RFQs and trades, we will be adding to the ticket both liquidity status, and SSTI and LIS size threshold information for all instruments in scope. We will also be adding information about whether a derivative is subject to the EMIR clearing obligation and MiFIR trading obligation.Reporting servicesBest execution remains a key area of focus for regulators and market participants alike. MiFID II and MiFIR will result in a far greater range of data sources. With this in mind, we'll be expanding our TCA tool not only to incorporate these new data sources, but also to add pre-trade analysis to the existing post-trade focused offering.As an execution venue, we will also be publishing quarterly execution quality reports under RTS 27, and making these available on our website. In addition, we will be offering tailored MIS (Management Information Systems) via the same tools to aid firms with their own annual RTS 28 report.As well as our on-venue services, we are continuing to expand our off-venue solutions. We're planning to operate an APA (Approved Publication Arrangement) for firms to make public their off-venue trades. Three leading sell-side firms - Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan - have already selected our APA for the provision of post-trade reporting services. As well as fulfilling the reporting obligation, our APA will include a comprehensive rules engine to determine who is responsible for reporting and whether the trade qualifies for a deferred publication.To complement our real-time reporting service, we will also be providing an SI quote facility and are looking at workflow solutions to help firms with data capture and record keeping for off-venue or voice trades.Clock synchronisationMiFID II introduces a requirement for trading venues and their members or participants to sync their business clocks to UTC. The requirements are specified in RTS 25, and differ for trading venues and their members or participants.Venues like Tradeweb are required to sync their business clocks to UTC to 1 millisecond level of granularity. They must also establish a system of traceability to UTC, from which they can only diverge by 1 millisecond.For members or participants of trading venues, the required level of granularity and maximum divergence depend on the type of trading activity. For more manual types of trading carried out by a participant, the RTS specify that business clocks should be synched to 1 second level of granularity, including both RFQ that involves human intervention and voice trading.Meanwhile, algorithmic trading must be synched to a greater granularity: algo trading in general to 1 millisecond and high frequency trading to 100 microseconds.The key question for participants is what type of trading activity they are undertaking – is it manual or is the participant using algorithmic trading? If trading on an RFQ system, the requirement is 1 second as this involves human intervention and is, therefore, considered to be manual. This would mean that the requirements on- and off-venue are aligned, with both having to be at 1 second level of granularity.Straight-Through-ProcessingMiFIR introduces new STP requirements for cleared derivatives, including:1. A pre-trade clearing certainty check2. Timeframes for submitting trades to clearing houses, and3. Rules around re-submission and voidance in the event of clearing rejectsAlthough the rules themselves are very similar to the CFTC's SEF rules, their scope is broader and will include both derivatives mandated to clear under EMIR, but also any other derivative contract that is voluntarily cleared on a trading venue.We have already incorporated voluntary pre-trade clearing certainty checks on our MTF ticket, but will be switching these to mandatory and extending this from EMIR products only to other derivatives that are voluntarily cleared.As with our SEF, we support both a push and ping model, so a firm's clearing member can either upload the credit limits to our platform or use a credit hub. Similarly, we provide both direct links to clearing houses and links to middleware providers, in our bid to offer clients as much flexibility as possible.Countdown to 2018The FCA has made it clear that all firms are expected to comply with the new rules from 3rd January 2018. It's expected that more business will be executed electronically on-venue, not just because of the simpler reporting regime, but also because this creates an electronic audit trail that can assist with record keeping and regulatory reporting.At Tradeweb, we're already well underway with our implementation plans. Our key principle has been right from the start to limit changes for buy-side participants and to minimise any technical implementation costs.As a pan-European business, we are also keeping a close watch on the Brexit developments, constantly engaging with policy makers and other market participants to ensure that we continue to provide services to our users across Europe.

It's flu season...already. And this year, I happen to be about 8 months pregnant during this most wonderful time of year. So, I'm told that means that I have to get a flu shot. But, do I really?
I've done a little research on the topic and I've seen arguments for both sides. Most of the articles that I've found online say it's safe for me and my baby to get the flu shot. But, I've heard all of these horror stories about what's happened to a friend of a friend of a friend who got the flu shot. Needless to say, I'm a little torn. I've never had a flu shot before and I've always made it through flu season just fine. But this time, I need to think about protecting my baby too.
I'm not a fan of shots or using medication unless I really need it, so if I don't really need the shot, I don't want it. But if it's absolutely necessary for keeping my baby healthy, then I'm all for it.
I'm not sure what to do, so that's why I thought I'd ask all of you Mommy Diaries readers for some feedback. What do you think about flu shots in general? Do you get them, not get them? Did you get one when you were pregnant? Have you heard those horror stories that I'm talking about? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each strawberry so the berries stand upright. Place berries, cut side down, on a serving platter. Carefully cut the berries into 4 wedges, cutting almost to, but not through, the bottoms with a criss-cross cut. Fan wedges just slightly, taking care not to break them. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until combined but still stiff. Using a teaspoon or pastry bag with decorative tip, fill the strawberries with the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top of the stuffed strawberries. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
