What Google Learned from 2 Million Miles of Autonomous Driving
Autonomous Vehicles Evolving Quickly
Google has proudly announced that their self-driving cars have now driven over 2 million miles and are a lot closer to achieving complete vehicle automation. These cars have been mastering the art of managing complex situations on public roads that may range from avoiding cars going the wrong way, to being aware of a bicycle darting in front of traffic.

Meet SION, Sono Motors' Groundbreaking Solar Powered Car
This New German Car Charges Itself on the Street
Sono Motors, a German startup, has managed to raise more than $200,000 towards the production of a solar-charged electric vehicle called SION. Once built, the electric car will use solar panels as its main power source. Since the EV will generate its power using the solar panels integrated on the sides, roof and rear, the vehicle will have a rather unusual look. The German automakers intend to sell two versions of the electric vehicle–a $13,000 'Urban' version concocted with a single charge range of 75 miles, and an $18,000 'Extender' version designed with a single charge range of 155 miles.

Why You Should Consider a Prius for Your Next Car
Here's What's New in the 2016 Toyota Prius Hybrid
When Toyota introduced the Prius in 2000, it became the car of choice for environmentally conscious drivers (not to mention fashion-forward celebrities at the time). Not everyone was impressed, though, especially with the early models' handling and interior design. Fortunately, Toyota got the memo, and the company's engineers have worked tirelessly to up their game and create stunning changes. The result? The 2016 Prius retains its well-deserved reputation for fuel efficiency, but the overall design is much more stylish and functional. Let's take a peak under the hood.
Still Best in Fuel Efficiency
The Toyota Prius beats all other hybrid cars with its overall rating of 52 mpg. This is a combination of 58 mpg city driving and 53 mpg highway driving. The Prius can run solely on electric power up to 45 mph – great for city driving. The new lithium-ion battery pack is smaller and lighter than the nickel version used in older models; this improvement boosts fuel efficiency.
New Engineering Insights
Toyota modified the Prius gasoline engine so it's quieter but retains power. The continuously variable transmission system changes speeds on a continuum rather than through fixed gears to get better fuel economy. The redesigned 2016 model offers the latest frontal-collision and pedestrian-protection systems, available as upgrades.
Better Interior
The interior is quieter and more stylish with soft-touch surfaces, chrome, and a colorful digital display. The sedan comfortably seats four, although you can squeeze in five. Starting at $25,035, the 2016 Prius is fun to drive, easy on the wallet, and great for the environment. Even better: hybrid repair costs are typically lower than traditional gas car repair costs.

Tour of Shell Bukom Refinery
Today, our VS scholars (ASEAN, A*Star & PRC) went on a tour to the Shell Refinery at Pulau Bukom.
Although, we missed the ferry because the bus couldn't locate the terminal entrance!!, it was still a educational eye opener.
Seeing crude oil tanks built in 1900 that were still serviceable as well as the ultra modern catalytic cracker was an eye opener. From the crude oil to the high octance fuel, we found out that the refinery at Bukom processes 450000 barrels of oil a day!
A good learning experience indeed for all of us. Imagine when we were told that the current estimate for fossil fuel to last is only another 70 years! Which means a cheap and renewable energy source must be found within our lifetimes-otherwise, the consequences will be quite dire.
The technology is there and available but are we open enough and dedicated enough to work for the good of all? That is something for all of us to ponder.
Who knows, in another 70 years I might have to sell my beloved 1.4 Honda Jazz to buy a race-horse from Turf club if there's no petrol left. :)

My Morning Menemen
6 comments:

I adore menemen, In fact I cooked it for my breakfast yesterday. So easy to cook that makes me wonder why no other country does it. When I go to the UK to visit my parents my Mum insist that I cook it for breakfast at least once :)

I love that you find Menemen an exotic name. It only reminds me of the dull town of Menemen which is probably the least exotic place around
- April 9, 2013 at 9:47 AM
- Karen said...
Westy, I agree completely. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment to say "hey, I cooked Turkish food," even if it was something easy like this. Ricky, this will stick to your ribs, promise. BtoBodrum, its interesting to hear the town is sleepy. If Menemen is the namesake for the food "menemen" they can probably rest on their laurels. Menemen is a big enough gift to the world. :-)

Karen, It's kind of confusing when you go to the southeast of Turkey, where we just were, and on the menu is 'melemen.' And we saw this spelling in at least three places so we know it's common. Happily, it was accompanied with the picture so we were able to enjoy our usual favorite for breakfast.

Good morning and Happy Feast of St. Clare, whom my oldest is named after. 'Tis a rainy one here in New England and it's predicted we'll get about an inch of rain today. At least it's not snow. It won't be long before a precipitation like today translates to 6 to 12 inches of The White Stuff.
I went to 7:30 Mass and for a quick egg sandwich afterwards. We were surprised to see our pastor at Mass this morning because he's supposed to be on vacation this week. Claire Bear has the day off to spend with her four sibs. Since they have an adult with them, I drove down to the office. I listened to more of my audiobook, "Seveneves" along the way. I've got about six hours to go with this 32 hour "audio tome". With the constant steady rain, it was not a top-down commute, but a wipers-on commute. Still... it's been a nice summer overall and I can't complain. At least the lawns didn't burn out this summer.
I've got a writeup to work on this morning and two long meetings after lunch. If all goes well, the bulk of this rain will be mostly out of New England by the time I head home.

FRITZ!Box 7490 Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
Telephone does not ring when configuring it in user interface
When you configure a telephone under "Telephony > Telephony Devices > Configure New Device" in the user interface, during the procedure the FRITZ!Box checks whether the telephone is correctly connected. After you select the port the telephone is connected to, the question "Is the telephone ringing?" appears. However, the telephone does not ring and you cannot continue with the configuration.
Simply proceed as described below. After each measure, check whether the problem persists.
1 Connecting the telephone directly to the FRITZ!Box
The following steps are only necessary if the telephone is connected to a PBX that is connected to the FRITZ!Box:
- Disconnect the telephone from the PBX and connect it directly to the FRITZ!Box.
If the telephone now rings, then the PBX is incorrectly configured. Refer to the manufacturer for instructions on configuring the PBX.
2 Connecting and configuring an ISDN telephone
Entering your telephone numbers in the ISDN telephone
- Delete all of the numbers configured in the telephone.
- Re-enter the desired numbers in the telephone exactly the way they are displayed in the FRITZ!Box user interface in the settings for the telephone on the "FON S0" tab.
Note:You can find information on configuring the telephone numbers (MSNs) in the telephone's manual, or consult its manufacturer directly.
Connecting only an ISDN telephone
- Disconnect all devices (such as telephones, PBXs, faxes) and cables from the "FON S0" port.
- Connect a telephone to the "FON S0" port. Do not use a PBX or an ISDN hub to connect the telephone to the FRITZ!Box.
- If you cannot make calls, proceed with the following section. Do not connect any further ISDN devices yet.
- If you can make calls, then another device or its cable is defective, or a device is incorrectly configured, for example incorrect telephone numbers, dialing rules.
- Reconnect the other ISDN devices to find out which device causes the problem. Do not connect more than one ISDN device without its own power supply.
- If the error occurs again after you connect a particular ISDN telephone, then that telephone or its cable is defective.
- If the error occurs again after you connect a PBX, then the PBX is either defective or incorrectly configured, for example incorrect telephone numbers, incorrect dialing rules, or call-by-call prefixes.
3 Testing a different telephone
- Disconnect the telephone from the FRITZ!Box and connect a different telephone to the same port.
Important:The ISDN telephones you connect to the FRITZ!Box must be suitable for use with ISDN point-to-point connections. Furthermore, the cables of ISDN telephones may not exceed 10 m. ISDN point-to-multipoint lines are common in the private sector and in small offices, whereas ISDN point-to-point connections tend to be used in professional environments.
- If the second telephone rings, then the first telephone or its cable is defective.

Tessellations using translations and reflections
Tessellations using translations and reflections
Translations and reflections are two of the few ways of how tessellations are created. We will use a tile as an example here. Reflection means flipping over the tile by its edge. On the other hand, translation means picking the tile up and putting it down to the space originally next to it.
Basic concepts: Horizontal and vertical distances,

Dear W3C Patent Policy Working Group, I'm concerned about the recent Patent Policy Framework draft, which could allow W3C members to charge royalty fees for technologies included in web standards. In particular, I object to the inclusion of a "reasonable and non-discriminatory" (RAND) licensing option in the proposed policy. I believe that the exclusive use of a "royalty-free" (RF) licensing model is in the best interests of the Internet community, and that RAND licensing would always necessarily exclude some would-be implementors. I applaud the W3C for its tradition of providing open-source reference implementations and its work to promote a wide variety of interoperable implementations of its open standards. The W3C can best continue its work of "leading the Web to its full potential" by continuing this tradition, and saying no to RAND licensing.

MANHATTAN — Two children were struck by a car while walking with a day camp group inside Central Park Thursday, officials and witnesses said.
The taxi driver was driving in reverse on one of the park's roadways, when the car's tail end hit the two children crossing the roadway at 10:57 a.m. as he was backing up, police said.
The children, aged 7 and 8, both suffered minor injuries, and were being rushed to St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital for observation, police said. The driver stayed on the scene, cops said.
The camp's director, who would not give his name or the camp's name, said we was rushing to the hospital and could not speak to a reporter, as he hopped into a cab at West 59th Street and Center Drive.
Their conditions were not immediately known, the spokesman said.

We have added a flyer for North Carolina drivers. The front of the flyer is above. The back side and the pdf are below:
38 thoughts on "North Carolina DUI"
Doug Pauling
Warren, I was wondering when you might be adding Indiana to your list of states. Thanks↓
I'm not convinced that § 20-29 shields the driver from having to hand over his license. The statute states:
"Any person operating or in charge of a motor vehicle, when requested by an officer in uniform…who shall refuse…to produce his license and exhibit same to such officer or such other person for the purpose of examination…shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor."
The words at issue are "for the purpose of examination." Would examination require that the officer take possession of the license?↓
I would love to know the answer to this:
Would examination require that the officer take possession of the license?↓
Keith Rodgers
Most LAWS of Traffic are created for COMMERCE only. Private vehicles on "public access roads" Paid for with Our Tax Dollars is far different then those engaged in actual commerce.↓
i had a dui in 1997 and need to clear up the matter It has been a nitemare i have list over $1000 to attorneys who said they would help and kept monies and lied Please advise me of an attorney who will help me get my liscence back. I have lived in CT for nearly 10 years now and i have been through a horrible divorce and moved 18 times in as many months from 2005-2007.I have since been beaten buy police and falsely arrested with all charges being dropped in all false arrest incidents.(i am diabetic and all incidents were a result of either high or low blood sugars).I am a good person i was also run over on my bike in 2011 and need to be safer in a car again..I havent driven since 2007 when my liscence expired and couldnt renew HELP It dangerous out there as a pedestrian and get treated poorly by motorists in tri state areaCY/NY/NJ)..HELP!!!!↓
Leonard Tackett
I just wanted to say thank you for providing this to us and also.providing the statute numbers so there is no ability to.contest the refusal to sign a ticket. *citation*↓
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide this for us. Really awesome.
I have a question about checkpoints and CCW. I have a concealed carry permit and often carry when I'm driving. In the state of NC, we are required to have our permit and identification on our person when carrying concealed, [GS 14-415.11 (a)], and must notify an officer when approached or addressed.
When using the Fair DUI flyer should I also include, in writing, that I'm carrying concealed and affix the permit, of is it ok to just affix the permit along w/ my driver's license?↓
Does this also work when being pulled over for speeding? Or checkpoints only?↓
Can I still use this if I have a Conceal Carry Permit and I am carrying?↓
Need one for v.a↓
I think you'll satisfy the requirement, "for the purpose of examination," by simply placing the flier, DL, Proof of insurance and registration into a clear plastic binder sleeve and then roll your window up on it. Put an opening in the sleeve so I can have access to the documents. In this way I, the police, could inspect all of the items if I deem necessary to assure their legitimacy.↓
While this flyer seems ideal for checkpoint stops, I have my concerns that it wouldn't do a lot of good during a roadside traffic stop for a few reasons:
#1. The cop can order you to step out of the car if you're still being detained (Pennsylvania vs. Mimms). Then "I smell alcohol" comes next, or a claim that you stumbled or fumbled with the door handle.
#2. If you're remaining completely silent, you can't ask if you're free to go, and the cop can keep you there for 45 minutes looking for a reason to arrest you, and can even call in a drug dog and wait around for it because you're voluntarily hanging around.
#3. If you break your silence to ask if you're free to go, the cop can say your speech is slurred.↓
You bring up some valid points, Dave. However, here are my thoughts…
First off, make sure you're video and audio recording every moment of the traffic stop. If you're ordered to get out of your car, do so but lock your doors behind you immediately.
Do not say one word. You've already informed the officer(s) you remain silent. Instead of saying, "Am I free to go?", print out another card that says it. Or just stand there and keep your mouth shut. I will never understand why people talk to police. Nothing good can come from it. Even telling the truth can get you in trouble. Believe me, they are not on your side. You're not being uncooperative when you remain silent, you're just not being useful. When you speak, you are being useful… useful in building a case against you. It's not your responsibility to make their job easy.
Also, an officer is not allowed to hold you any longer than necessary to perform a traffic stop. This has been ruled on by the Supreme Court. Furthermore, police officers can't just call in a dog because of a hunch or because you're not speaking. There has to be reasonable suspicion to do so and a good lawyer will eat them up in court if they pull that stunt.
You can read about it in Rodriguez v US here (PDF download):
P.S. Watch this video on how to remain silent when dealing with police…
David A Moehrke
I find this very interesting.↓
I know the flyer states you are not rolling down your window, but if the officers orders you to, can you still refuse? Also, I thought for all traffic stops you are required to roll down your window so that you and the officer can communicate. Am I incorrect?↓
Also, if the officer orders you out of the vehicle, can you refuse to do so since they will have absolutely no probable cause or reasonable suspicion at that point?↓
If the policeperson orders you out of the car, you should get out of the car. That doesn't mean you have speak. But, they should have probable cause to order you out of the car. Otherwise, they have violated your constitutional protection against unwarranted search and seizure. If you refuse to exit the car when ordered to do so, the situation will only escalate. It won't benefit you to attempt to stay in the car. Be sure to record video of the entire stop. If you are ordered out of the car with no probable cause, take the video to an attorney and ask about suing the cop/police department.↓
I think this flyer needs an additional line that says something like "I want to leave. If I am not being detained, please state whether I am free to go." Might even help to make one more card that just says "Am I free to go?"↓

No. That's the point of the Fair DUI card that you hold up to the window in lieu of speaking. If you roll down your window, he can make the claim that he smelled an odor of alcohol, whether it's true or not. If you speak, he can claim you slurred your words, whether you did or not. If you don't roll down your window and you don't speak, he can claim neither. If he orders you out of the car, you should comply. But, you still don't have to speak, because you have the constitutional right to not incriminate yourself.↓
Just reading 20-29 and there is a line that says,
or who shall refuse to surrender his license on demand of the Division
Does that mean now you must hand your license to the officer if he orders you to?↓
"Do not speak at all. Not one word. Record everything.Keep your hands where the officer can see them.
Show them your license and other requested documents through the window.
You are required to "exhibit" documents. But you don't have to hand them over.
You are not required to sign tickets. So don't open your window.
Police are allowed to stop you at a checkpoint, but you are not required to open your window.
Never fight or physically resist.
If the officer clearly states an order, it is safer to comply."↓
Thank you!↓
Jeff kafilta
They ripped my flier up on a string and dragged me out the broken window I didn't roll down and tazered me made me lose my buzz and took my camera iPhone wtf!,,,↓
Could you recommend a Charlotte, NC lawyer I could contact when using the fair DUI flyer? I've proactively left messages with a few of the supposed best Charlotte DUI lawyers, and they've all ignored me. I can only assume they do not support the fair DUI philosophy. Thank you!↓
You are better off asking for referrals elsewhere. You won't likely get one here, unless another reader has something to share. Just remember what your rights are. Unless you have committed a crime, misdemeanor or otherwise, you have a constitutional right against unwarranted search and seizure. You don't have to speak and should not speak. However, if ordered out of the car, it is wise to do so. But, take your keys and quickly lock the door behind you. If they take your keys and search you car without permission or without a warrant (which they must show you), they have clearly violated your constitutional rights. Remember, it's not about being a jerk. It's about protecting your rights as an American citizen.↓
"I will comply with clearly stated lawful orders" Is being asked by the officer to step out of the car a lawful order? Or to roll down your window?↓

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away..."
I want to draw your attention to two verses from the Book of Revelation - "I saw a new heaven and a new earth" and "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true" - and one verse from the gospel reading - "I give you a new commandment."
One of the most provocative interpretations of the Book of Revelation is that it was the first work of science fiction, but I don't buy it. The last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation or Apocalypse ("apocalypse" is a word derived from Greek that means "revelation") is part of the canon of scripture. It is part of God's word or God's way of communicating with us, so I don't think for a minute that it is fictional. But there is no doubt that it is thick with symbols and metaphors, and that all too often these symbols and metaphors are over-interpreted and misinterpreted.
But my NT teacher said that "few writings in all of literature have been so obsessively read with such generally disastrous results as the Book of Revelation" (Luke T. Johnson, The Writings of the New Testament, p. 512)
On the other hand, there is an interesting correlation between Revelation and science fiction. Revelation is about a journey from this world to another world. It is not a physical journey through outer space, but it is a spiritual journey through inner space. Also, much of science fiction has to do the future. What if this world passes away? What becomes of us?
I want you to think for a moment about how strange the Book of Revelation is. In chapter 21, the author has a vision of a "new heaven and a new earth." The idea of new worlds comes easily to us, but that was a completely new idea in the first century.
A resident of the Roman Empire in the first century knew one world - the world of the Mediterranean basin. That was the world. of the first century. A few centuries earlier, the Greek philosopher Plato said, "Like frogs around a pond we have settled down upon the shores of this sea."
But all that began to change in the 15th and 16th c when European explorers began to venture out to the edges of Africa and Asia and finally crossed the Atlantic to North and South America. Suddenly, Europeans began to think and speak in terms of "new worlds."
In Shakespeare's play The Tempest the character Miranda exclaims, "O brave new world that hath such people in't." She was reflecting the wonder that people of that age felt at the discovery of new worlds. But already in the first century, John the Seer imagined a new heaven and a new earth.
But a new heaven and a new earth mean that this earth will come to an end, and that is a fearful idea.
Well, one person's fear is another person's opportunity to make money, and popular culture loves to play on our fears of world-ending scenarios.
Have you noticed the number of movies and TV shows that deal with so-called "post-apocalyptic" scenarios? What happens if the world comes to an end? The movie Oblivion that just came out deals with this. Forgive me, but I hope that Tom Cruise is not the only representative of the human race to survive the apocalypse! But from zombies to nuclear annihilation to plague, popular culture seems to be fixated on apocalyptic scenarios.
Of course, that is precisely what the Book of Revelation is about. This world that seems so permanent is actually passing away. It is finite. It has a sell by date. So what happens after the worst thing that can happen has happened? What happens AFTER the end?
This is where the Book of Revelation has good news for us. It tells us that the world in which we live will indeed come to an end, but it tells us that this is part of God's plan, that God is in charge, and that although there will be wars and plagues and all kinds of disturbances, God will protect his people, God will bring us through.
Make no mistake: God loves this world, finite and fractured though it is. God created it and declared it to be good and never changed his mind about it. And God gave it into our care and one day will demand an accounting of how well we have taken care of it. And I fear that we will be judged and found wanting for our care, our stewardship, of the earth.
But this world is not permanent. The Book of Revelation tells us that a new earth is coming. It's a bit like a new product roll out: "Coming soon - Earth 2.0 - new and improved!"
This world, we are told, is a "vale of tears." But a new world is coming in which "death and mourning and crying and pain will be no more."
Now, think for a minute about another verse in ch. 21 of Revelation: "Write these, for these words are trustworthy and true."
"...the one who was seated on the throne said, "See, I am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true."
"Write this" was a very odd thing to say in the first century because very few people could write. Furthermore, paper or papyrus and ink were very expensive. If you could write, you would write only the most important things.
Presumably, you would only write down something of the highest importance. And perhaps John was commanded to write because it would be easier to believe something written rather than something spoken.
One of the sad tasks of every minister is to write down the names and dates of those who have died in the church register. In doing research for my doctoral dissertation I carefully studied the parish records of a small village in seventeenth century Buckinghamshire. Such records documents life's joys, to be sure, such as weddings and baptisms, but they also chronicle so much sadness—women who died in childbirth and children who died in infancy.
Richard Holloway, former Episcopal bishop of Edinburgh, Scotland, wrote this of his feeling in going through the records of a parish in that city: "I often think of . . . all those glad lives and dancing feet, all gone down into the grave . . . I grieve for all those lives which are unrecalled . . . As one contemplates the teeming prodigality of human history, one is tempted to meaninglessness at the thought of all that being born and going down into death." (Holloway, A New Heaven, Mowbrays (London, 1978), p. 61)
Any minister writing down another death in his or her parish register might be tempted to feel as I did searching through 300 year old parish records or as Holloway did in his Edinburgh parish, but in the Book of Revelation, John was instructed to write something different. "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true . . . I am the Alpha and the Omega . . . to the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life." (Rev. 21.6)
Finally, consider this verse from today's gospel reading: "I give you a new commandment."
The strange thing about this new commandment is that it was really a very old commandment.
Leviticus 19.18 says, "... you shall love your neighbor as yourself." (19.18)
So what was new about Jesus' "new commandment"? I believe that what was new was the one issuing it and also the way he modified it - "as I have loved you."
In Revelation, the author speaks of a new heaven and a new earth. In John, Jesus gives his disciples a "new commandment." The theme of the Celebration of New Ministry that we will have next weekend is "a new beginning for Christ Church."
I want to be as clear about this as possible: I believe that Christ Church is a healthy parish with a bright future. I would not have come here if I did not believe that. But as I said in the Epilog, there are some troubling signs, and one of them is the fact that we have so few young families with children.
But I also believe that we can grow and be healthy by attracting new members who are middle aged or even older.
I believe, though, that we need younger families with children not just for the long term health and stability of this church, but because we have an obligation to pass on our wisdom, our values, our faith to a new generation. To be perfectly frank, we are part of the world that is coming to an end, passing away. The young are part of the world that is coming into being.
When I speak of a "new beginning for Christ Church" I do not for a minute believe that all that has come before needs to be changed. I love this church's tradition, its way of worshiping God, and its music. But I do believe that from time to time, we need a fresh start, a new beginning.
And I believe that part of the message of the Book of Revelation is that we need not fear the new. We need not fear a new beginning. We need not fear letting go of the past and reaching out toward the new because God is the one who is bringing the new world into being.
I believe that the new world that God is bringing into being will be characterized by the "new commandment" that Jesus gave his disciples: " I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
To love as Jesus loved is to forget self, to give one's self for others, it is to let go of all that is familiar and be open to the new.
Change is frightening. The older I get, the less I like change. But I took a chance on Christ Church and uprooted myself and moved here to become your pastor, your rector.
I took a chance on Christ Church because I believe in a God who does new things. And I invite you to take a chance on God as we work together for a new beginning for this great old church.
Like the European explorers of the 15th and 16th c. we are on a journey, but our journey is very different from theirs. They traveled from their homes to distant, exotic places. We are journeying from a place of exile to our true home in God.
For in this world, death and sorrow are at home and God is a stranger. But we journey toward a world in which death and sorrow will be no more and God will make his home in our midst.

Playing the harp is very much like playing the piano. In some ways it is easier, in some ways a bit more challenging. I personally found learning to play the harp far simpler than either guitar or violin, both of which I tried.
One great thing about learning to play the harp is that everything sounds wonderful on the harp – in five minutes you can sit down and learn to make pleasing sounds. So practicing becomes a fun activity, and learning is easy. (See Learning to Play the Harp for more information.)
The large orchestral harp is also called a pedal harp, because it has pedals that are played with the feet. These pedals allow you to change key. There are seven pedals, each one for a different note – for example, a C pedal, D pedal, etc. When the C pedal is moved, all of the C strings on the harp are changed to either natural, sharp, or flat.
The Celtic, or lever, harp does not have pedals, but has sharping levers to change keys. These small levers control one string at a time. A string can be set to natural or sharp, or natural and flat, but not all three.
The advantages of the pedal harp are that one can change keys faster, and play more chromatic music – jazz is playable on a pedal harp, but not realistic on a lever harp. The pedal harp is also built for volume, to be heard over the sound of an orchestra. Disadvantages of the pedal harp include the weight (usually 75 pounds or more) and the expense – $10,000-30,000 and up.
The lever harp is built for beautiful tone, to play beautiful music. Advantages of the lever harp include portability (20-25 pounds in wood for a full sized harp, or 8 to 10 pounds for the same sizes in carbon fiber) and more reasonable price ($2000-$6000). The variety of music playable on a lever harp includes Celtic, classical, sacred, folk, pop, ethnic, and original. There is an enormous amount of music published for lever harp, and more is produced all the time.
There is no particular 'beginner' harp. We don't recommend a lap harp for a beginner, because having to balance or hold the harp in some way can interfere with learning proper playing technique. A floor harp (one that sits on the floor) is a better choice. After that, it's a matter of budget and sound preference. One advantage of a full-sized Celtic harp (5 octaves, or 36-strings) is that you have all the notes available to you that your music will ask you to play – you'll never 'run out' of notes.
Dave originally designed the curved soundbox for aesthetic reasons – to have a harp of all curves. The curve also has the following advantages:
Rigidity – a curved surface is more rigid and stiff than a flat surface. The rigidity of the curve creates a stronger harp that holds its tune longer.
Strength – because of the curved soundbox, the neck shape is less arched, meaning the neck is more stable over time.
Comfort – the curve means that the harp does not lean back, and puts no weight on the shoulder – very ergonomic! Also, there is extra room in the upper octave for the right hand, so you can maintain better playing technique.
To the best of our knowledge, two other harpmakers have tried curved soundbox construction. They both said 'never again'! It is more difficult to construct a curved soundbox, but we feel the advantages are well worth it.
There's a harp world joke that says 'Every 20 minutes or when someone opens a door!' That's an exaggeration, but harps need to be tuned every few days, and weather or temperature changes (moving a harp from your home to a different location) will usually necessitate tuning. With an electronic tuner, tuning a harp becomes a quick and easy procedure, taking only a few minutes. The more you tune your harp, the more likely it is to stay in tune and require only minor adjustments. And, generally speaking, the carbon fiber harps tend to hold their tune much better than wood harps, because there's no wood to shrink and swell as the humidity fluctuates.
Harp strings should be replaced every year or two, as they gradually lose their brilliance and become dull sounding. Breakage is rare – perhaps a few strings a year will break, and they are usually the higher, thinner, very inexpensive strings. Having a spare string set is a good idea, and strings don't 'age' in the bag, so after two years you can put on your spare strings, and get a new spare set. (See String Changing Directions for more info.)
We do offer financing, from Allegro Acceptance, a company that deals just with musical instrument purchases. It's a great way to get the harp you want, right now. Contact us for details!

When the Royal Society of Prevention of Cruelty To Animals found Polly in Buckinghamshire, England, it looked like it was already too late. Polly, a horse that should weigh at least 1,400 pounds, had lost more than half her body weight and was practically decomposing on the ground where she'd been abandoned.
The Horse Trust, a rescue and rehabilitation group, took Polly in and documented her recovery. Although these photos of her transformation are graphic, her story is an inspiration of this stunning animal's will to survive.
When the RSPCA found her, Polly was severely underweight.
Under the loving care of the Horse Trust, Polly's condition slowly improved.
Because of the severity of her neglect, Polly was fighting rain scald and dermatitis.
After months of rehabilitation at the Horse Trust's sanctuary, Polly was finally able to run through the fields like every horse deserves!
To support Polly and her loving team at the Horse Trust, please visit them on their website. Your donation can help save a horse like Polly.

Each time a disaster makes headlines, more than 6,000 volunteers in the National Disaster Medical System are paying attention. Some keep their gear by the front door and others tell employers they'll return in two weeks.
The Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti led to the largest international deployment in the system's 26-year history. Anyone who watched the news saw schoolyards and tents turned into outdoor emergency rooms amid a landscape of human suffering and crumbling buildings.
The doctors, physician assistants, and nurses treating survivors included 1,100 NDMS volunteers. Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMATs) assisted 31,300 patients in Haiti and performed 167 surgeries through Feb. 22, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
"The number of people who wanted to volunteer to go was far more than the number we needed," says Dr. Kevin Yeskey, director of the federal government's Office of Preparedness and Emergency Operations. "These are people who are otherwise employed as civilians in hospitals, in clinics, and elsewhere who give their time and their expertise. ... I think it's one of those organizations that stays under the radar screen, but time after time does a fabulous job in providing high-quality care to people in need."
Steve Martin, an associate professor at South University — Tampa, wasn't one of the 90 Floridians called to Haiti although his Ft. Lauderdale-based DMAT team was placed on alert in February. Martin has been a member of the team since 2001, and describes the role of DMATs this way: "I would say that we're able to deliver fairly advanced care in a fairly primitive setting … and people are sometimes surprised by what we are able to do," says Martin, a physician assistant and director of South's just-launched Physician Assistant program in Tampa.
The National Disaster Medical System was formed in 1984 primarily to respond to medical needs arising from a domestic disaster like an earthquake in California or a hurricane in Florida. By far the largest deployment of system volunteers occurred after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. Martin still has the "all call" email alert from 9/11. "We just had no idea how far this was going to go," he recalls. "We got the email alert at a time when every American was feeling shock and concern. … We felt the same emotions. We had our gear by the door, and our team's mission was to go in two weeks after the event."
Although his team's deployment was canceled, Martin thinks 9/11 was a turning point in disaster medical system's history as it was moved into the newly created U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
"That's when we got a huge infusion in our budget," Martin says. But two years after the government was roundly criticized for the delayed response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the disaster medical system was moved back to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Martin says his most memorable deployment was to Port Charlotte, Fla., in 2004 just as Hurricane Charley was abating. Their convoy set up large tents on the parking lot of the hospital, which was damaged and didn't have power. This particular deployment had an impact because it hit so close to home.
"We were the emergency department for that whole region," he says. "It was a category 4 hurricane, so there was fairly significant devastation. I just felt so sorry for all the families who were living out in their yards because their houses were destroyed and they were in the heat trying to pick up the pieces of debris. We were hot, too, but when you look at these people you don't think about your own difficulties."
DMATs frequently see lacerations, puncture wounds, and dehydration in hurricane survivors, he says.
"Most people think of disasters as trauma and major injuries, and that's true to a degree right after the initial hurricane, or whatever disaster, passes," Martin says. "But where the real need is, is the ongoing care — the things that go on in every emergency department, every day, across the country."
Women in labor would be an example. In Haiti, DMATs delivered 45 babies despite numerous challenges involved with the deployment.
As Yeskey, the government official who visited Haiti in February describes it: "The infrastructure we went into was severely impacted, meaning that there were virtually no reliable food sources, no reliable water sources, no existing structures for us to house our members in, and there were no existing facilities that were available for us to operate from in the sense of hospitals."
Logistics was another issue. Basically, all the equipment and supplies needed for two-week team rotations had to be flown into Haiti's very busy airport. "There were only certain windows of time we could get our planes in, so making sure that we sequenced all of our supplies and 're-supplies' to support our teams was a challenge," Yeskey says.
Florida, which has the second-highest number (six) of DMATs in the nation, is playing a big role in caring for Haiti's survivors. On Jan. 27, Gov. Charlie Crist requested relief from the National Disaster Medical System after hundreds of medical evacuees were transported to Florida hospitals and nearly 20,000 Haitians were relocated to the state, according to a Miami Herald report. (The disaster medical system transported 79 patients altogether.)
"What Gov. Crist was asking for was a payment mechanism" to care for Haitians relocated to Florida, HHS spokeswoman Gretchen Michael tells South Source. The activation means hospitals and providers that received patients under the disaster medical system are reimbursed at 110% of Medicare rates. "Florida stepped up to the plate early and was taking lots of patients from NGOs (nongovernmental organizations)" and other groups, she says.
Some miscommunication apparently occurred between the state and federal government, and medical transports to Florida stopped for a day. This incident will be part of an analysis of the federal response in Haiti. "I think we're looking at all those issues now," Michael says.
The disaster medical system partners with several federal agencies on deployments, but on international relief missions even more entities are involved. That's another lesson to take away from Haiti, Yeskey says.
"There is a large nongovernmental-organization community out there of responders that go in … and we're just a part of that," he says. "So making sure that we integrate well with our NGO partners is an important distinction from the domestic side, where we don't see a lot of that."

Investing in Convention Real Estate Requires the Development of Transport Systems
On June 20 ExpoForum representatives participated in a roundtable titled, "Investing in infrastructure for convention tourism,'' that was organised by the newspaper, Construction Weekly.
The meeting focused on how often the city can make significant and large-scale international events, such as the St. Petersburg Economic Forum; and it discussed how many venues are needed to host such large-scale events, and how much time is needed in order for investments in convention and exhibition infrastructure to become profitable.
The panelists included Alexander Grishin, vice president of the Guild of Managers and Developers; Pavel Goncharov, director of the PROEstate International Investment Forum on Real Estate; Katerina Lisina, director of external relations for the 63rd World Congress on Real Estate, FIABCI; Violetta Kuznetsova, project manager for Visit-Petersburg.com; and others.
ExpoForum marketing director, Olga Shestakova, said: "Questions of construction of convention real estate are gradually being solved in the city. Now is the time to concentrate on building infrastructure, especially transport, for these sites. In particular, the city should recognize the need to build underground metro lines to the future convention and exhibition centre, and make the necessary adjustments in plans for the extension of the metro system."
A Metro Line Will Reach Pulkovo Airport
At a June 28 meeting, the St. Petersburg City Government approved plans to develop the city's underground transport system, including extending it to reach the Pulkovo airport. This will help resolve transportation issues for the new ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Centre that opens in 2013 near the airport.
ExpoForum Entered UFI
ExpoForum was accepted into the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI) during a meeting of its Executive Board last week in Ghent.

The Exhibition Industry in St. Petersburg is in a Legal Vaccum
On June 1 the Committee for exhibition and fairs of the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry held a meeting. The main topic was the need for new laws to regulate the exhibition industry; without them the industry will not grow in 2012, or it might even slide back to the level of several years ago.

A.M. Vitals: New Weight-Loss Drug, and Treatment Prospect for Alzheimer's
Here's what's making health news this morning:
FDA Grants Approval to Diet Pill From Vivus (WSJ): Approval of Vivus's weight-loss drug Qsymia marks the second approval of a new weight-loss drug in less than a month; the drugs, which require a doctor's prescription, won't be available until later this year.
Immune Drug Shows Promise for Alzheimer's (WSJ): A tiny but promising new study suggests that a medicine already on the market, intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, or IVIG, may offer benefits to Alzheimer's patients—a result likely to spur interest in using the therapy off-label even though it is in limited supply.
Chocolate: A Health Food? (WSJ): On Tuesday, the world's largest chocolate manufacturer, Barry Callebaut AG, won the backing of the European Food Safety Authority for its claim that cocoa flavanols, or compounds that can also be found in dark chocolate, can be good for blood circulation.
Multiple Sclerosis Drug Doesn't Prevent Onset of Disability, Study Finds (NY Times): The medicine, interferon beta, does help reduce the development of brain lesions and limit the frequency of relapses, but until now there have been few well-controlled long-term studies demonstrating its effectiveness at preventing the onset of irreversible disability.
While We Dream, Our Muscles Are Paralyzed (LA Times): The phase of sleep in which we are most likely to dream — rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep — is also a time when our skeletal muscles are paralyzed. Scientists assume this is a helpful mechanism to stop us from flailing around and causing harm when we're dreaming.
Health Insurance Prices for Women Set to Drop (Kaiser Health News): The federal health-overhaul law will permit insurers to vary premiums based on four factors: individual vs. family enrollment, age, where the insured people live and tobacco use. Currently, most individual plans charge women higher premiums than men for the same coverage, a practice known as gender rating, according to the National Women's Law Center.

Saving Images for the Web
When saving for the web, it's always important to consider the quality of the image, and the size of the image in order to provide visual clarity without slowing performance. This tutorial will teach you what you need to know about saving images for the web.
Saving Images for the Web
The internet is probably one of the largest mediums for distributing art, graphics, and photographs nowadays, making it very important to have some basic knowledge on saving media for the web. Essentially, saving for the web is a balancing act — you must balance the quality of the graphic and the file size of the media to suit your personal needs.
In a place where speed is important (ie: quick loading websites), you may need to sacrifice some quality of a graphic. Where quality is important, you may need to sacrifice some speed. This lesson aims to show you ways in which you can balance these two factors, and at the same time produce terrific image quality.
Lossless vs. Lossy Data
Although there are many different image formats out there (JPEG, GIF, and PNG to name a few), all images can be further divided into two separate categories of compression: Lossless and Lossy. Lossless data compression allows media to be represented without any loss in quality or information, while Lossy data compression may result in a loss of quality and information.
The most common Lossless media types in Graphic Design include GIF, PNG, and TIFF, while JPEG is the most common of Lossy graphic media.
How to Save for Web in Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop has a great way to optimize images for the web. In Photoshop, go to File > Save For Web, or click Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S.
A new box will popup with all of the settings for saving and optimizing an image for the web:
I'll walk you through using the settings shown here in some real life examples below.
Saving Photographs for the Web
Photographs are almost always required to be saved as a lossy data type due to their huge filesize. Even when taking a picture, camera's tend to save the photo as a compressed filetype (JPEG) versus the RAW format, which can be exponentially larger in filesize.
The usual preferred file type of photographs is JPEG, which is named after its creators, the "Joint Photographic Experts Group". The reason why jpeg has become the standard is due to its ability to compress image data while at the same time being able to retain high quality and closely resemble lossless images (in regards to information).
There are several Save For Web Presets that you can choose when saving photographs. For a photograph, you should consider using JPEG Low, JPEG Medium, or JPEG High. See the graphical comparison below to see how well an example photo is compressed without a huge loss in quality. Compared to the original photograph, which is over 250 KB, we can get a reasonable quality photo using Medium quality or High quality compression presets that are less than 30 KB in file size.
GIF Images
Sometimes, you'll be required to save in a lossless format in order to best optimize your graphics for whatever you are working on. This is often seen in website design, as layouts often use far less colors than an ordinary photograph.
GIF, or Graphics Interchange Format, is an image format that uses a palette of up to 256 individual colors, making it a great candidate for web graphics that don't use a wide range of colors. GIF can also set single pixels to be transparent, which we will not be discussing in this tutorial. The comparison below shows a GIF image (using all 256 colors) and a jpeg comparison, both at about the exact same filesize. The lossless GIF graphic resembles the original image much better as you can see.
Because GIF images have a limited palette of 256 colors, they should almost never be used for Photographs, but they are excellent for graphics that use solid colors, or a limited number of colors. For Photographs, either JPEG compression, or the PNG Lossless format should typically be used.
High Quality Images & Lossless PNG
PNG, or Portable Network Graphics, are lossless data formats, similar to GIF, except they support a much greater number of colors (also making them larger in some cases), and can support alpha transparency channels as opposed to single transparent pixels (again, we won't be discussing transparency in this tutorial).
PNG images are replacing GIF images more and more, mostly because they are typically able to compress better than GIF images while supporting a much larger number of colors. They are not as widely supported as GIF images yet, but are certainly heading in that direction.
For graphics that must be transported over the web while retaining full image quality, PNG is the prime choice. You'll typically result in a larger image size than JPEG when transporting photos, but at times, this can be an essential sacrifice. Typically PNG is the better choice when a graphic contains sharp lines, or text that must remain very clear, but it's ultimately up to the designer to decide what format to choose.

This was an excellent tutorial. But I have one question. I was recently checking out my site that I just made a custom header for with gimp.
I looked at my header a few days ago and everything was fine. Today I looked at my site to make some changes but the header was terrible.
The quality was horrible. It looked like a faded, badly edited picture. I don't know what I did wrong. It was also saved in the png format.
Any help on this would be great.

There are also several useful tools available for Windows and OS X (and I presume linux, even though I am not familiar with them) that compress PNG files to their minimum size. The one I use is a dashboard widget PNGPong (http://www.plasticvicar.com/PNGpong/) which is simply drag and drop, and takes about 5 seconds. Recommended.Flag as inappropriate

"while Lossy data compression may result in a loss of quality and information."

excellent tutorial david, i often use max quality for my projects just so they "look" good, but after reading the tutorial i tried high quality which made a big difference for the loading time of my new project and you still can barely see the difference from max quality and high quality and its something i should recommend for any designers out there, use high quality as your compressing rate :) makes a big difference!

Yes, Whataburger is being delivered in Dallas but don't get too excited
A reporter with the Dallas Morning News recently set Dallas hearts a-flutter writing about Whataburger on-demand in that city.
Getting a Whataburger meal delivered to your door sounds perfect, right? No more waiting in line or having to put on pants.
The only problem is that customers have to order Whataburger via an app, DoorDash, so it's not a test of things to come directly from the San Antonio-based burger chain.
Monday morning a Dallas Morning News reporter used the third-party app to order a Whataburger taquito. DoorDash is also the outfit that was testing out Taco Bell delivery months back in Dallas. They also deliver a number of foods from other chains.
The whole thing comes with a $5 delivery fee so a $3 taquito turns into a nearly $10 adventure. Whataburger taquitos are a Texas breakfast and late-night favorite but for that price driving to get it might be more economical.
As the reporter also noted, the food is not getting to the customer piping fresh as it would from the counter or the drive-thru window.
Representatives for Whataburger said Tuesday that they aren't connected to DoorDash in any way.
"Whataburger does not have an official partnership with DoorDash or any other food delivery service at this time," they said in a brief statement.

If you go to the moon, you would go up.
But when you reach the moon, you land. You go down.
And if you are on the moon and you look up, you will see the earth.
That means that somewhere between here and the moon, up becomes down and down becomes up.
I started reading Sophie's World when I was about twelve. I was impressed and intrigued – but I could not finish reading it. There was just too much intensity that I was not prepared to deal with.
Perhaps if I had read Hello? Is Anybody There? first, I would have tried harder with Sophie's World.
At first glance, Hello? Is Anybody There? is a bit like The Little Prince.
At second glance, it still is, and in a good way.
It is a book that reminds us that the question is far more important than the answer. It is a beautiful journey into our minds and our realities. I am sure that every time I read it, I will take something else out of the reading experience. It's a book that gets inside your head and scratches it from the inside.

Moonbow, Milky Way, meteor
If you've read this blog before, then all I really need to tell you is that Thierry Legault took a picture.
While in Queensland, Australia, Thierry took this shot of Wallaman Falls. While the Milky Way shone down, a meteor zipped past, adding to the drama. But what's that at the bottom? A rainbow? At night?
Yup. Well, kinda. It's a Moonbow, the same thing as a rainbow but with the Moon as the light source. Well, and it's not raindrops that cause it, but aerosolized water droplets acting as little prisms, breaking the light up into the usual colors. Moonbows are very faint, but they show up in long exposures like this one.
Leave it to Thierry to not be satisfied with just our galaxy, a bit of interplanetary debris vaporizing, and a waterfall in his shot. Amazing.
He has more pictures from that trip, and yeah, you want to see them. His photos have been on this blog so many times I can't even list them, but check out the Related Posts below, click the links, then click the links at the bottom of those posts (or you can use my search engine). It's a journey that'll widen your eyes.
[UPDATE: Thanks to pixguyinburbank on Twitter, I learned of a wonderful video about moonbows put out by the folks at Yosemite National park in the US. It's so good I'll just add it here so you can see it. Fantastic!

You missed the "chemtrail" near the horizon ;-).
Phil- Thanks for sharing the "Moonbows" episode of Yosemite Nature Notes!
You might also like the newest episode called "Night Skies"
Featuring astronomers, Park Rangers and timelapse photographers, it took me nearly 3 years to finish this one.
Really? "Chemtrail"?
But…but…I don't see the silhouette of anything man-made in this picture! 😉
Thanks Phil, the Thierry Legault photos are spectacular and both Steven Bumgardner videos are exceptional.
If the colored bow from your sprinkler in the daytime is a rainbow then yes, this is a moonbow. Personally I like to think of the moonbow as that giant colored bow in the sky produced from water droplets much higher up in the atmosphere rather than from a waterfall's spray. Although I wouldn't call this a moonbow, that's one gorgeous photo.
Wait… where's the "click to X-ate" link to the bigger image? Where's the real Bad Astronomer, and what have you done with him, you fiend?
It is interesting how bright that moonbow is. Maybe a factor of the amount of spray in the waterfall. When I have seen them in the rain on a full moon, the colors have been more muted and subtle.
Are we sure that's a meteor in the picture, and not a plane? Given that the exposure on this pic took awhile (look at how the stars and waterfall have blurred), I wouldn't have thought that a meteor would show up that well and yet still be in frame. Ah well. Even if it's not a meteor, this photo could hardly be more awesome. Thanks for sharing!
I have always disliked the term "moonbow". It is descriptive, but inconsistent.
I mean, we don't call the ones during the daytime a "sunbow", do we? They're rainbows. So these are rainbows also, just night time rainbows.
Perhaps it should be a waterfallbow…then again, no, definitely not that. I'm open to suggestions.
Not to rain on your parade, Phil. You didn't coin the term. Thanks for the cool images. =)
I thought "moonbows" referred to misty (mistical?) rings around the full moon (???)
I live near Cumberland Falls. Moonbows (Lunar Rainbows) are quite common. Here's a good pic:
Sure, I have to put up with Creatotards and other Bible Beaters…but things like Cumberland Falls and Mammoth Caves makes up for it.
Da da da da da da da da moonbow
Da da da da da da da da meteor
moonbow meteor, moonbow meteor
Milky Way Milky Way Milky Way meteor
Oh, for gosh sakes, people. Moonbow is a really cool name. it trips off the lips like… something that trips easily off the lips. All this about consistency and prior use gets us nowhere as it's not a "scientific" term and it's just plain nifty. Geez.
Thank you for your nice comments!
@Dan: yes it's a meteor, I saw it visually and it was quite bright, fortunately it happened just during an exposure and in the right direction.
Isn't a moonbow the thing that the goddess Selene used for hunting? (Kidding.)
Ziggy (@10) is right. The nomeclature is inconsistent. It's a lot like science fiction authors using the term "astrogator" in place of "navigator", even though the latter refers to ships, not seas. By comparison, an astrogator would be someone that determines where to move a star.
Likewise a moonbow would be a differential refraction of white light caused by the moon.
@sailor#8: I suspect the apparently muted color is a matter of perception. You're looking at a photograph which has collected photons for an extended period vs. your eye's receptors collecting such a low number of photons that the color receptors aren't working at their best.
If you've read this blog before, then all I really need to tell you is that Thierry Legault took a picture.
Heh, well put! That is indeed all that needs to be said, and it's a marked understatement as always. Not unlike saying "So yeah, Leonardo da Vinci painted a picture of some lady…"
His photos have been on this blog so many times I can't even list them, but check out the Related Posts below, click the links, then click the links at the bottom of those posts (or you can use my search engine). It's a journey that'll widen your eyes.
You might also point out the tags at the very end of the post, including one under Mr. Legault's name (just click it). That'd probably be the quickest way for folks to see all BA posts with his images…
@ ^ Joseph G. Seconded by me.
Love this superluminous image. Cheers BA & Thierry Legault. 😀
@14. Teacher Al : Agreed. I like the "moonbow" term – its poetic, descriptive and distinguishes it from normal "natural spectroscopes" ie. rainbows!
Robert: I was kidding about the "chemtrail", hence the 😉
Sailor (8) said:

This is probably a result of the long exposure time. Note the length of the star trails. It's gotta be at least a 5-minute exposure.
It's a 45-second exposure 😉
