At least in California, the Monsanto herbicide product Roundup will soon be labeled as a known carcinogen, in light of a ruling in a California state court in Fresno in March. Because of the strict guidelines on carcinogenic chemicals under Proposition 65 in California, Roundup is subject to closer scrutiny in California than in other states.
The ruling came in a lawsuit filed by Monsanto, the manufacturer of Roundup, in January, 2016. The company had challenged the California Environmental Protection Agency's notice of intent to require that the product be labeled as potentially carcinogenic. The EPA's decision was base on a report issued in 2015 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which concluded that glyphosate, a primary component of Roundup, was a "probable carcinogen."
The ruling appears to open the door for a number of personal injury lawsuits against Monsanto, similar to legal action filed by Cambia native Teri McCall last year, who alleged that her husband's use of Roundup on the family farm for decades contributed to or cause a rare, aggressive and eventually fatal form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. During the course of that lawsuit, Monsanto was forced to release internal documents that suggested that the company had been "ghostwriting" papers and other research attributed to independent outside laboratories, a term actually used by a Monsanto chemist. The documents also indicated that the chemical giant had engaged in a massive public relations scheme to convince consumers that Roundup was safe.

Hi Everyone! I can't believe it's October. Summer is nothing but a blur and so much has happened. It was so good to see you all for the family reunion. We loved getting to know Jarrod! I worked really hard for 3 days to teach Trav and Heather's sweet little boys that Aunt Mar is the coolest ever. I have Jackson convinced, but Dominik is still thinking about it. I better make a trip to California to reinforce good behavior!
We increased our family on September 30th when Madison Nostrom was born at 11:19 p.m. She weighed in at 8 lbs 15 oz and is 19 1/2 inches long. MaKenna was SO excited to be the big sister, and she is very protective of the baby. She wouldn't let Grandma take her very far. It was fun to spend some time at Marcie and Jeremy's house.
Clint got an elk tag and it was barely sun up on the opening morning when I got a text from Mont saying that was a quick hunt. They had it home and cleaned before noon. Now that's the way to hunt!
Hope all is well with everyone!
Love you all!

Homeschooling: But What About Socialization?
Imagine this:
You head in to work to check in promptly at 7:30. You squeak in just in time, but didn't sit down at your desk until 7:35. Your supervisor immediately sends you to the boss for a reprimand. In the daily team meeting, you missed what your boss said and immediately get another public reprimand for leaning over and whispering a question to your co-worker about what you missed.
You rush to your next meeting, flying past your friends in order to not be late again. You get a 15 minute break once a day to catch up with friends, and then you rush off to the next meeting, focused on listening to lecture after lecture and digesting, memorizing, and testing your knowledge again and again. Although your workday is only around 7 hours on average, you typically have about an hour and a half worth of work you have to do when you get home, oftentimes not only due first thing in the morning, but you will be tested and graded to ensure you know all of it – not just in your area of expertise, but covering the bases of every role in the company.
You have about a twenty minute lunch break, but due to the size of the company, they need to control the noise – if it gets too loud, the whistle blows and you have to eat in silence. Your peers (and lunchtime) are divided by age, and everyone in the company is zoned for this specific area – no one from the county over coming to this business!
Your supervisors are maxed and struggling to meet quotas – the last thing on their minds is encouraging creative play. Not only that, the guy next to you shoots spitballs at your head, and "accidentally" trips you on a regular basis. He makes a mockery of you in the break room, and although you've thought about pressing charges, it wouldn't matter because the main thing he's hurt is just your self-esteem and overall self-worth (no big deal, right). What's more, it's not just him – he's got a whole crew that now enjoys the snide comments at your expense, and you dread going to work each day. But, you're stuck here for twelve years, so you just need to keep your head down and bide your time. At least you get a few breaks a year, and the summer off if you have good behavior!
Sadly, this is the life of many kids. Yes, it's not the story for every traditional school setting, and we are thankfully seeing new variations and we're challenging the old methods of school. But I want to paint a drastic picture because of this –
If you are a homeschooling/unschooling family, you have most likely heard at least once (if not every single time you say anything):
But…how do they get their socialization?
"Aren't you afraid they'll fall behind? That they'll be socially inept? They won't know how to get along in society?"
Hello, soapbox. Really, people? I had a great blog post I used to refer to when people asked this question, and unfortunately, it's been lost in the internet abyss of dated sites – so I knew it was time I addressed this on here.
This week I've been out at a campsite at one of our beautiful state parks. With the beautiful fall weather, the site was packed, and kids of all ages were out (it just so happened to be fall break in the area as well). As I sat outside yesterday, my little ones ran all over, from the park to the playground to the creek nearby, catching crawdads, making friends, and occasionally making a mad dash back to the camper for some food before darting off again.
My 9-year-old was busy creating art with her 11-year old friend after spending all morning riding her bike around, the tagalong on back holding her 4-year-old sister and their 3-year old friend. My 6-year-old spent some time visiting with the retired couple next door, and had also befriended a young couple with an infant, helping them keep her occupied while they set up camp. Our friends with six daughters ranging in age from 7-19 popped in for a visit and we all sat around and caught up with each other – both adults and children contributing to a wonderful conversation.
That evening, a wild game of flashlight tag erupted with all ages getting involved, and oohs and ahhs erupted as someone turned on a fantastic light show into the treetops…which prompted a magical discussion that ranged from fairies to space exploration.
So – my quick answer to the hesitant ones who are concerned about my children's social welfare:
And to go a bit more in depth:
- My daughters have a variety of friends based on their areas of interest, not on the age or proximity. They have pen pals across the states, and have made friends both in Costa Rica AND next door.
- When they have a question, we dive in and figure out an answer. Yes, they have quiet times where we don't need to be disturbed – but they also have the freedom to ask "why" and we will spend the time to figure it out. And yes, giggle fits and other types of noise are allowed – I know how hard it is to stay quiet when you just have to get out some wiggles and giggles!
- Yes, we are selective on friends. When they encounter kids who are cruel, snarky, or otherwise making a negative impact on them, they start by standing up and sharing how it impacts them. And if that "friend" doesn't care or finds joy in that, the answer is simple – they don't play with them anymore. They have as much power to shut down toxic relationships as I do.
- We can love and respect others, and still set some clear boundaries on who we spend our time with.
- We believe in delight-led learning – so when they show an interest in something, we pursue it. We meet people who are experts in that area. They interview them, shadow them, and ask questions – it's amazing how open people are when they see someone with genuine interest in what they know/do.
- We spend a lot of time experiencing real-life skills. We go to the grocery store, they come to work events with us, they have a part in both home chores and the errands, house repairs, and meal planning. They are learning how the banking and real estate works, and they may not know exactly what children their age have learned, but then again, I wonder if YOU would have all the answers for what you had to learn and memorize in 4th grade.
- They don't have to know a little bit of everything – but they will know how to find it. It's not just about socialization – there is this fear that our kids are going to miss out on something important that traditional schools are teaching – but there are more and more things becoming obsolete that we devoted a lot of time and testing on.
Many (notice I do not say all) kids in traditional school spend a lot of time on homework, little to no time in recess, and a rushed lunch. Add in extracurricular sports, music, etc., and there is a whole lot of time for studying and learning without pure social fun. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly looking at our American traditional school system as a model for healthy relationships, or even education.
Another homeschooling family had a great rebuttal to yet another jab about us "backward homeschoolers": Open Letter To US Education Secretary King Who Says Homeschoolers Would Be Better Off In Public Schools
Yes, I'm confident my girls are socialized. They may not have had as much exposure to bullies and performance angst, but they have had plenty of opportunities to meet and interact with others. Another reason why we say we unschool is because the majority of it happens outside of the home ("home"school just doesn't make sense!)
So there you go. Now, we have a campfire to make, some s'mores to share, and some new friends to talk to.

No matter how you were schooled as a kid, I'd love to hear your comments on how you "socialized" as a child!

Phoenix closing public pools a week earlyPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- City budget cuts mean public pools in Phoenix will be closing early this summer.
Pool closing early
Budget issues forcing Phoenix pools to close early - Budget woes are forcing Phoenix city pools to close early this summer.
Search Video:
The last day is Sunday, July 26, a full week before originally planned.
People who use the pools are not happy.
"Some people out there don't have pools in their backyards," one swimmer told 3TV. "They can come out here to have fun and get wet and feel good."
Phoenix has already started closing the pools on Fridays. Officials said that move has saved the city $350,000. They said shutting down the pools a week early will save another $150,000.

Pipeline, Issue #436
David Cronenberg has a movie out now called THE HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. As you may have heard, it's based on a comic from DC's relatively short-lived but prolific Paradox Press line. DC reprinted it this year under the Vertigo banner. It's an affecting crime story that starts out somewhat Hitchcockian, but ends a bit more horrifically, mixing in questions of trust, honesty, family, and what a man is capable of when his back is against the wall.
Hitchcock made a career out of movies with protagonists suffering from mistaken identity. Writer John Wagner starts with that here, showing us an almost Rockwellian small town man, Tom, working at his small coffee shop/diner. A chance encounter and an act of self-defense brings him national fame, something he modestly shirks away from. The real truth, though, goes back to his formative years and the secrets he's kept from everyone. And, as you'd expect from any story worth reading, the past is coming back to catch him.
If that sounds like major spoiler territory right there, don't worry. I haven't told you any more than what's in the back cover copy. It comprises barely the first quarter of the book. While that part is filled with iconic moments of its own that may have been spoiled for you already in the movie trailers, there's a lot more story to go. We need to learn what lies in Tom's past, and what the ramifications of that will be in the present.
John Wagner keeps things moving along, cutting back and forth between time frames without ever confusing the reader or boring him. Things move along quickly without feeling rushed, and the drama progresses through the book. The ending is bloody and brutal, and might just ruin the book for the more squeamish. In all honesty, it seemed a little over the top for the rest of the book, and I'll be most interested in how they end the story in the movie version. Things will no doubt change, as any story must for a new medium. Judging by the reviews of the movie, for example, they've added a couple of sex scenes that are not to be found in the book. Is this for character building, or just added salaciousness from the director of a film about people turned on by car crashes?
The book is drawn by Vince Locke, whose artwork I had never seen until a couple of months ago. That's when I chanced across an issue of DEADWORLD in my stack of stuff for the Short Box Chronicles. (Issue #2 just came out from Image Comics.) Locke's art is presented in an attractive black and white style. It looks sketchy and unfinished, but that's just an illusion. Your eye fills in the gaps and smoothes out the lines to give the book a great visual. You won't see much else like it in comics today, particularly in black and white. Too many artists would be running to PhotoShop to add gray tones to a work like this. Locke's line work, though, works best when shot bare.
In a way, it reminds me of Richard Piers-Rayner's artwork in another Paradox Press book, ROAD TO PERDITION. It's not nearly as technical and precise as that, but there are similarities in the storytelling. Characters have distinct looks. People act like real people, and not posed models. Backgrounds are abundant. The panels are limited in their number to help keep things from looking cramped on the smaller size pages. Bob Lappan is also around to letter the book, which helps with another strong visual cue.
A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE is in stores today, with a nice big "NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE" tag across the top of the cover. It's another instance of DC making a cover design that doesn't scream "comic book" at you. It's rather reserved and eye-catching. The book is digest sized, and a heck of a deal. It's only $10 for just about 300 pages. They kept pace with the manga market pricing scheme, but using better paper that's an extra half inch wide and tall. If you're looking for an interesting crime story told well with just a touch of the obvious "circle of violence" theme to it, this is your read. It's on shelves today.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, LI'L SANTA is a glorious 50 page album from NBM Publishing. Written by Lewis Trondheim and drawn by Thierry Robin, it's the second silent outing for the cutest version of Santa Claus ever to be cartooned. This time, he runs into a batch of Halloween-themed characters and a mean pack of lumberjacks out to rape the forest and kill anyone who gets in the way. Subtlety is not a strong point in this book, and in fact is its greatest weakness. We'll get to that in a moment. First, there are a lot of virtues to this book that need extolling.
Trondheim's Santa Claus is a happy little man. A penguin acts as his butler. The Abominable Snowman is a good friend, if often a cause of trouble. The elves adore working for the man, and the people in town wave with a smile at the sight of him. He's a bit clumsy and possibly naïve, but he's a warm-hearted guy you can't help but love. The album is filled with little moments to help cement all of those virtues, from Santa running into a tree repeatedly to picking some hay for the dragon to feast on. It all fits in around the spine of the story, which is fairly light. This is more a character-drive story, if anything. If you're looking for a tight plot-driven story, this is not the book for you. It's safe enough to read to a child, as well, if you can guide them through the storytelling.
The best part of the album comes from Santa Claus' interaction with the Halloween characters. I'm tempted to refer to the lead character from that group as "Jack" since this whole set-up just reeks of NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. The resemblance is superficial, though, and no plot points are repeated. The two worlds are just too different not to cause hijinks: Santa operates in the daytime. The monsters and ghouls of Halloween work best at night, with off-key music, scary faces, and surprises around every corner. Their idea of a housewarming gift is a scary jack o' lantern, whose light keeps Santa awake and whose creepy smile scares him.
The art is by Thierry Robin, whose cartooning skills are amazing. You need a special artist to pull off a silent book done in 16 panel pages. Not many could do it. The only other one I can think of off-hand is this book's writer, Trondheim, who did a 60-panel grid with the sublime MISTER O. (I reviewed that here a couple of years ago.) Not only can he communicate a story without a single word as a crutch, or so much as a thought balloon with iconography in lieu of words, but he can do broad comedy and slapstick. There's an entire page devoted to Santa stumbling over, into, and under a tree. By the end of the page, he's so frustrated that he leans over and sticks his tongue out at the impassable foliage. I can't do the page wonders with these words, but it's great gestural drawing all the way through.
The weakest part of the album comes from the bad guys of the story, led by the "Chief Logger." It's every cliché in the radical environmentalist's cartooning handbook. The loggers have a enormous machine that prowls through the forest, eating up trees and destroying the land at any cost. The loggers will kill people to get their trees, each of which is whittled down to a tooth pick. There's no subtlety here, and no fairness. Loggers generally are careful about the forest they use because once its gone, they're all out of jobs. In this story — cartoonish though it might be — the loggers are barely two-dimensional. The Halloween people are scary, but they mean well and they're nice. It's a clash of cultures when they scare Santa. It's not out of spite or meanness. The loggers, on the other hand, are all fire and brimstone, coming to kill everything and anything they see. It struck a very sour chord with me.
So just hold your nose and muddle through the pages where the lumberjacks appear to give the main characters something to fight against, and enjoy the rest of the cartooning brilliance of the book. HAPPY HALLOWEEN LI'L SANTA is available from NBM Publishing today in the glorious oversized hardcover album format for just $15. If you need any more convincing, check out NBM's preview pages. Just be warned that the colors on the web site are much less vibrant than they are on the printed page.
A link at Warren Ellis' The Engine message board led me to this preview of the latest volume of BLACKSAD. This is the third actual story in the series. Here in America, the third volume being offered is just a sketchbook. This is mind-blowingly gorgeous stuff, fully painted anthropomorphic art with a serious noir type story attached. I can't wait to see this thing show up here.
While I was at Dargaud's web site, I couldn't help but surf through the other titles they offer to take in more of that amazing French artwork that we see so little of here in the States.
Mix a little manga with a little Humberto Ramos, and you get the artist named Terada in a book loosely translated to "Small World." Pay special attention to page six of that preview. Wonderful stuff.
I don't know how best to describe "Le Demon D'Apres Midi…" except to say it has a different kind of cartooning style that I really like. If it piques your interest, I should point out that the cupid on the cover is fully frontal naked. Florence Cestac has other volumes in the same style like " target="_blank">La Vie d'Artiste" and "La Vie En Rose."
Check out the background shots in the jungle and the establishing shot of the city in "Où Le Regard Ne Porte Pas." It looks like the book was originally released in two volumes, but you can now buy an omnibus edition of both books that includes 16 new pages of material. Good to see the French market isn't all that different from our own sometimes.
"Mélusine" is an album series starring a cute witch character. I particularly liked this gag page, if only because I could understand it with my rudimentary French skills.
One other album, "La Danseuse du Temps" has a full color six page sample on the publisher's website, with a complete breakdown of the album available on the author's page. (Yes, there is some slight nudity involved. Parents beware.)
Collecting various links and posts I've made in the past week:
Some quick additions/corrections to last week's column:
1. Dark Horse's "Billy the Kid" comic was drawn by Kyle Hotz, not Kelley Jones.
2. That missing issue of PLASTIC MAN from the second trade was done by Scott Morse, not Kyle Baker. I still have to question why it wasn't included in the trade, though. Is someone in DC's accounting department trying to keep the royalties statements simplified by limiting the creators in a collection?
3. THE LOOKING GLASS WARS: HATTER M is a riff on ALICE IN WONDERLAND and not WIZARD OF OZ. We're still getting too many of the latter, but this isn't one of them.
Hopefully, this column will flow a little more smoothly. If not, you have my e-mail address.
Is this the Turning Point for me? I've been cutting back on my comics habit all year. It's manageable enough now that I skip one stop to the comics shop a month, just because there's not enough new stuff out that week to justify the trip. I double up the following week, and all is good. I can survive off the overstock of comics during that down week.
Just when I think I have it under control, I get my monthly mail order box of comics. This month's box weighed in at 34 pounds. It is a bit of an oddball shipment. It contains an extra week or two's worth of books and titles from three separate PREVIEWS order forms. They all just happened to pile up at the right time to break my postman's back in one go. It included this ridiculous pack of hardcovers:
- DC's THE WORLD'S GREATEST SUPERHEROES
- ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN HC Volume 6
- THE PUNISHER MAX HC Volume 1
- TOM STRONG HC Volume 5
- CONAN HC Volume 2
I'm not even counting the three trade paperbacks in there, nor the Halloween ashcans I plan on giving out at the end of the month. (They look great, by the way.)
I don't have the shelf space for all those books. I don't have the time to read them all in one month, even if I didn't buy another comic for the next four weeks. I think it's time to hack and slash at the reading list again. At the very least, I can move EX MACHINA and Y THE LAST MAN onto my "Wait for the Trades" list. We'll see.
Some quick links, with apologies for any dupes from previous columns:
- You can read a Carl Barks Donald Duck story for free on-line.
- Your painfully cute sketch of the day.
- R.I.P. Fanboy Rampage. You'll be missed greatly, Grim.
- Superhero or prostitute? Fairly funny.
- How Matt Hollingsworth colors a panel.
- Here's your animator sketchblog for the week, The Daly Blog. He does wonderful things with thin lines and shapes. It shows you how expressive and animated you can make characters and things with just the sparest spine for a line.
Here's another reason to love or loathe Marvel, depending on your sense of humor: The new HULK VISIONARIES: PETER DAVID Volume 2 book has a credit, "Special thanks to Pond Scum."
That's not a typo. And that's really what they call him. He's worked in the famed Marvel bullpen for years. I had the same reaction to his name as you just had when I met him a few years back on my one trip to the Marvel offices. Weird name, but he is a pleasant guy.
Next week: I'm hoping for another Halloween-themed review in this space, and more.

After Johannesburg, Cape Town is the most popular coastal city of South Africa. tour cape town are all mainly based on harbors, as it is also known as the city of harbors. Cape floristic Region is the natural settings of Cape Town. The city is located on the sea shore of Table Bay. And during early ages, it was being developed by Dutch East India Company.
Cape Town tours famous in South Africa
• Cape Town is the famous tourist place in South Africa as a whole. It attracts tourists for its nature and a Table mountain National Park.
• You can reach at the top of the mountain by hiking, or the other way is mountain cableway.
• For the view of the Atlantic Ocean, tourists usually drive to Chapman's peak drive, which is a narrow lane connecting Hout Bay with Noordhoek.
Beaches of Cape Town
• Cape Town tours will remain incomplete if Beaches of Cape Town are not visited. All the beaches are in a position that all of them can be visited on the same.
• Each of beaches is having a different atmosphere and different settings.
• The climate of the city is so pleasant that it can be visited anytime.
• It has restaurants and cafes on the beach, like the Camps Bay. Then the White beaches of Llandudno which is extended to Hout Bay.
White Sharks and cage diving
• From Cape Town, this is a famous tour of Shark diving. Before the start, your adventure, take your breakfast at White house.
• From the expert guide and biologists, gain some extra knowledge about the natural habitat of shark.
• You have to be prepared to jump into the cage. And start swimming with the big white sharks. This could be the experience of a lifetime.
Gansbaai is widely known as great white shark capital of the world. Cape Town Tours become incredible with the experience of diving with white sharks.

The OACP is supporting the distribution of new material from the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network and the Waterloo Region Crime Prevention Council designed to raise awareness about Canada's Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act. This law aims to remove a major barrier when calling 911 during an overdose emergency—the threat of being charged with drug possession.
Funding from the Law Foundation of Ontario has allowed the printing of 50,000 free, laminated wallet-size cards that clarifies what charges the law does and does not provide, and immunity from the scene of an overdose emergency. Available in English and French, the wallet card also provides 1-800 numbers for services in Ontario if legal assistance is required.
The wallet card and an accompanying fact sheet is available for free download at www.overdoseprevention.ca and www.aidslaw.ca. Please consider using the hashtag #GoodSamLaw to promote this information.

ZephIR 300M – Offshore Wind Measurement
ZephIR 300M Wind Lidar delivers 'finance grade' wind data offshore at a reduced cost compared to traditional anemometry often comprising tall met mast structures and seabed foundations. ZephIR is flexible; deployable on fixed or floating platforms and reduces your offshore wind energy project risks including financial, data uncertainty and health & safety.
ZephIR Lidar is proud to deliver a fully-marinised wind lidar – ZephIR 300M – for the offshore wind and meteorological industries, founded on the company's successful and finance-approved remote wind measurement device, ZephIR 300.
ZephIR is the single most experienced lidar operating offshore with extensive global offshore deployments across a 10 year track record including: the world's first wind lidar to be used on a fixed platform; the world's first wind lidar to be used on a floating platform; the first wind lidar to be accepted as DNV GL Stage 3 'bankable' on a fixed platform, and; the world's first wind lidar to be deployed as standard in dual configuration on a buoy for resource assessment. ZephIR 300M causes no flow distortion as found with large lattice tower structure and removes the need for working at height.
Download ZephIR Lidar Brochure here
ZephIR has been selected by over 90% of all floating platform installations due to the unique properties this continuous wave lidar technology has to provide including range of measurements (10 – 200 metres from installed height), the fast data rate of 50Hz leading to natural resistance to the motion found offshore completely removing the need for mechanical motion compensation in most environments and its proven reliability offshore.
Building on an already impressive list of offshore experience, ZephIR 300M is designed specifically for use offshore and includes as standard:
- A 3 year warranty and 3 year service life – the most extensive available from a remote sensing device that can be used offshore
- Optimised industrial design including high UV stability housing, highest grade of marine connectors, marine MET station for improved yaw determination
- Upgraded cooling and air movement system offering IP68 protection
ZephIR 300M provides 10 metre to 200 metre wind measurements ideal for site resource assessment offshore, power curve measurements and bankable Annual Energy Prediction (AEP) campaigns at the lowest cost of finance-grade lidar ownership available with no requirement for annual servicing or calibration within the 3 year service period.
If you are developing, operating, optimising or researching within the offshore wind industry, download the ZephIR 300M product brochure here.

Marine Survivability
ZephIR 300M offshore wind lidar is specifically designed for marine environments. Careful component and material selection provide maximum protection against saline ingress and corrosion, whilst the enclosure is fully certified to IP67. There are no exposed cables to be concerned with or any on site set-up requirements, so the unit can be deployed in the most challenging sea conditions with minimal effort. The unit can be protected against local wildlife with additional bird spikes that can be easily fixed to any exposed surface.
Fixed Platforms
Offshore, leading Banks Engineers DNV GL and Natural Power generally consider Stage 3 Wind Lidars operated on a stationary platform as being comparable to a benign scenario as noted above provided that enough evidence is given to ensure no significant flow distortion from the platform or its components might affect the measurements.
Given the importance of measurements when considered against the substantial economic investment in offshore wind energy development, validation of the specific device should be made at an appropriate onshore flat terrain test site before and after the offshore wind measurement campaign. Comparison with a met mast provides traceability back to traditional anemometry so the validation should be made against a tall conventional meteorological mast.
Under specific conditions advised and audited upon by DNV GL, it is anticipated that similar accuracy and uncertainty results would be obtained from an energy prediction based on data from ZephIR 300M wind lidar mounted on a stationary platform as from an energy prediction based on data from a conventional offshore mast, replacing the need for such traditional anemometry and delivering substantial economic savings in the area of offshore wind resource assessment.
Further, Natural Power considers that "ZephIR can be recommended as a primary wind measurement system for offshore wind farms. There is a significant and consistent body of evidence to support the use of ZephIR in offshore conditions as the sole data capture system."
Floating Platforms
Doppler Remote sensors measure the wind by detecting the line-of-sight Doppler shift caused by scattering of laser light from aerosols (or in the case of sodar, audible sound scattered by turbulence). Significant motion of the remote sensor affects the relative line-of-sight velocity and can lead to unreliable wind data.
However, continuous wave (CW) lidars can deliver exceptional sensitivity, achieved by focussing all the energy from the onboard laser at the chosen range, and this permits high data rates by scanning at 50Hz / 50 data points per second / measurements every 20ms. Any motion is frozen over this short integration time, so that in many high motion applications, such as those found on floating platforms or when mounted on the nacelle / in the spinner of wind turbines, high quality wind measurement can be carried out without compensation.
Providers of platform technology have also made independent assessments of all remote sensors available and they are summarised below where available. Interested readers should conduct a thorough review of all options available as some prototype platforms are not yet in the commercial domain; the information shown below is correct at time of publication.

About this Site
Why 26 Letters? Well, there are 26 letters in the English alphabet; isn't it amazing what we can do with them all? The phrase "26 letters" reminds me that even those concepts that at first seem hopelessly complicated and unfathomable can be reduced to their most basic building blocks, and thus conquered!
In editing, those building blocks are clarity, coherence, and consistency. If we can bring those qualities to a work, then both audience and author will be well-served.
About Me
I completed my MA in English in 2007. Since then I have worked as a university bookstore coursepack coordinator, as a lab administrator / project manager for a digital humanities research group (ETCL), and as a bookstore co-owner / manager (Talisman Books & Gallery). I do copyediting and technical editing "on the side," but hope one day to make it my full time job.
I love living on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, where you can smell the ocean whenever it rains. I am an avid reader and knitter, and I also enjoy watching movies, cooking, and going for aimless walks in nice weather. This site's Blog is where you can find out more about my life.

Oddest fanon? With such extreme bastardisations of the characters you couldn't possibly begin to fathom what would be the most oddest.
You have comedic sketches portraying the scarlet sisters as children, series where Reimu is silent and kind, psychotic death-traps of Koishi having a 'heart-throbbing adventure' and even bizarre wrestling events.
Yukkuri shiteitte ne!
If I had to nail it on the head, it would probably be that crazy import of ZUN into Gensokyo having him as the most powerful God.

This is addressed to all priests, bishops and cardinals of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church outside of which there is no salvation. Are you men or wimps? Have secular politics so emasculated you that you are ashamed to proclaim your Faith – that Faith that was passed down to you from the Apostles? Are you so afraid of the agents of Satan that you continue to sit on the fence and refuse to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that was given to you as your right in perpetuity in the year 1570 by a true saint, that's right, a true saint, Pope St. Pius V? That's the Mass that has no frivolity, no funny-business, no laymen or laywomen in the sanctuary. It's the Mass that drew down God's grace on His Church and His people before the Modernists changed everything upon the advice of protestants and other non-believers in what was called the Second Vatican Council some 50-odd years ago.
Do you wonder why there is so much evil in the world today, even in the Vatican itself? Is it because the people are not on their knees anymore, not even for receiving the Body of Christ in the Eucharist? Do you wonder why Pope Benedict XVI resigned the papacy and retired to the sidelines? Do you wonder why the Popes since 1960 have refused the request of the Holy Mother of God at Fatima to consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart? This request was given to Sr. Lucy to be given to the Pope through the bishop in an apparition that was confirmed by the miracle of the Sun and endorsed as worthy of belief by the Vatican itself. By the way, the title which I have used for this piece is not meant just for men – it could easily be said of women as well women, who like those who have given birth to the holy saints and martyrs of the Church, who indeed were saints and martyrs themselves, have continued to pray unceasingly that the men would see and fulfill their duty.
Do you believe in what you call your religion, the Holy Catholic Faith, transmitted down through centuries? Do you believe in your ministry, that is, the salvation of souls? Do you believe that nobody, not even the Pope himself, can tell you that it's not necessary anymore to convert non-believers? Do you believe that we will all be judged on how we have practiced our Faith and fulfilled the role that God has set out for us? Do you believe that "personality cults" are offensive to Our Lord And Saviour and that He has no part in honoring evil men that have done such abominable things as kissed the Koran and opened wide the windows of the Church to the smoke of Satan? In short, are you ready to throw off the chains of Modernism and reclaim your manhood as a soldier of Christ, made such in the sacrament of Confirmation? If you are, then, God bless you, and if you are not, then, may God help you.

It's #FinishItFriday where I share with you a project that needs to be completed.
Life happened as it does and I spent most of Friday monitoring a sick doggy very closely trying to figure out what was wrong with him. Turns out Freki has a sore tooth and not a sprained leg (he limps every time he hurts himself anywhere) or a bite or any of the other things we were worried about and were able to eliminate based on his his eagerness to run around like an idiot and his good appetite, although I've had to make him soft meals and soak his breakfast biscuits. He has been terribly sooky and needs a lot of attention.
Back to Finish It Friday, on Saturday
Crochet With Sisal
When I picked up the blue wool I thought it might be time to give my rug idea a try. I took a quick shot for the blog and got started.
A few dozen stitches in I decided the wool was too nice to use on the sisal, frogged it and reached for some acrylic yarn that I already had two half started projects with (I'll show you those soon). I got a little further with the acrylic, but I wasn't very happy with the results. Sisal is spiky and hairy and difficult to work with even if you trim off all the poky out bits as you. I put it aside in favour of other projects - there's a definite theme to all these UFO's don't you think?
I frogged it. The sisal has been banished to the shed, 6mm is too thick for a rug, in fact I think it may even be too thick even for an outdoor mat, but I didn't know that until I gave it a try.
Project started:Early May 2016
Last worked on the project:The same day I started it.
Still to do:Nothing.
Update on Previous Projects
I realise that I forgot to update you all on the sundress last week. The unpicking is complete but that's as far as I've got so far.
I've been working on the Tunisian crochet sampler this week and the little crochet granny squares.
As for the crochet broomstick lace there's been no progress.
If you've been following along and want to see how the sheet yarn rug turned out I've included the photos in the last sheet yarn rug update, just scroll to the bottom of the page.
At this point in writing I hadn't even dug last weeks entrelac project out of whichever box it was hiding in. And although it's Saturday and this weeks Finish It Friday post is still being written I stopped writing and went and dug through my projects and found it in the fourth box I looked in.
It takes a great deal of patience and care to undo a project made with this sort of fluffy yarn that just wants to knot up on itself. It's extra hard working in black when your eyes aren't so great as they used to be.
Was there progress?YES. I didn't want to face the difficult task of frogging that edging which wasn't working for the project, but now it's done! That means I can forge ahead.
Did I enjoy working on it?YES. Last time I tried to undo that edging I hated every moment but this time it went far more smoothly and I'm feeling accomplished.
Will I continue to work on it?YES, I think I'll do another square the same and from there maybe I'll join them into a cushion or a little drawstring pouch like I did with the Minecraft ones.
See previous Finish It Friday projects.

A study conducted by Tel Aviv, Israel-based scientists found a strong connection between preparedness procedures for different types of emergencies after they evaluated emergency procedures in multiple local hospitals.
The research team set out to determine whether or not there was a correlation between the preparedness of hospitals for multiple emergency scenarios. If components of particular emergency scenarios overlapped, the researchers hypothesized that standard operating procedures could be altered to handle mass casualty events, mass toxicological/chemical events and biological events.
"Emergency preparedness levels of all acute-care hospitals for MCEs, MTEs, and biological events were evaluated, utilizing a structured evaluation tool based on measurable parameters," the report said. "Evaluations were made by professional experts in two phases: evaluation of standard operating procedures followed by a site visit. Relationships among total preparedness and different components' scores for various types of emergencies were analyzed."
The researchers found that significant relationships were present for different emergencies and that standard operating procedures for biological events correlated with preparedness for other emergency scenarios. Training systems and drills for all the emergency scenarios included significant overlapping.
The team concluded that drills, standard operating procedures and training programs are more important in handling unfamiliar emergency scenarios than knowledge of personnel or equipment. The researchers concluded that an all-hazards approach to emergency preparedness should be adopted to handle biological events, MCEs and MTEs.

If you are looking for something that will take your workout to the next level, you need to consider taking a pre-workout supplement. They provide many benefits which are related to muscle growth, focus and endurance during your workout. They also boost the level of energy in the body. Typically, pre-workouts are recommended few minutes before your workout.
So What Does A Pre-Workout Supplement Do?
Fundamentally, they are designed to give your body the stimulus it needs to drive itself to the maximum. It helps to fight off muscle weakness so you can push out additional reps and get every ounce of strength out of your muscles. Pre-workout supplements will help you stay focused and offer you that muscle pump you need to keep pushing. It helps to give you more oxygen and nutrients to your muscles to prolong the amount of work they can do. The combination of caffeine, Branched Chain Amino Acids, and other vitamins and nutrients provide your body fuel which cannot be produced on its own.
Getting the Strongest Pre-Workout
Bodybuilders normally want to see a boost in focus, energy, endurance, strength and much more. However, a runner would want something to boost their endurance and energy levels, without any real need for a big boost in power or strength. Strongest pre-workout for both parties is to see ingredients that help to promote hydration, muscle growth, and accelerated recovery in their pre-workout choice.
What Makes Pre-Workout Drink Work?
Pre-Workout drinks have some essential ingredients that which may differ from brand to brand. Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) – Amino acids help repair muscle and also promote muscle growth. There are many drinks that are useful in pre-workouts. These BCAAs help to promote muscle growth, repair muscle and extend muscle endurance. It improves the body's ability to produce energy, which leads to more strength, ability and heavier weight. Pre-workout drink helps you push heavier and harder which will aid in muscle growth.
Vaper Pre-Workout

The vis-a-vis carriage is perfect for traditionlists who find themselves drawn to the charm of the traditional horse and carriage, but don't want to compromise on modern style.
Our vis-a-vis carriage is able to comfortably seat up to six people, and features a collapsable roof.
With the roof down, this carriage is able to be decorated modestly in faux rose vines, and in most cases we can match the roses to your bridal party.
On occassion we have even had brides organise for their florist to order extra flowers, and had the carriage decorated with posies to match their bridesmaid's.

The GoTaikonauts! team resumes the publishing of the GoTaikonauts! newsletter. The focus of reporting is on the quarterly news in China's space programmes and selected background reports.
Special Edition UNISPACE+50
Issue no 21
• Quarterly Report July - September 2017
It was the discovery of the year 2017: the 3rd China (International) Commercial Aerospace Forum (CCAF) which took place on 30 August 2017 in Wuhan, the capital of central China's Hubei Province. For the first time, the forum went international – and this – with unprecedented success. Around 400 government officials, company representatives and industry experts from more than 20 nations were present. Our latest newsletter has a comprehensive report on this event from last year. Three international space experts - Enrique Pacheco from Mexico, Andrew Paliwoda from the UK, and Philippe Cyr from Canada/China - explain their motivations for participation in the forum.
China surprised the global community of science and technology with its recent success in quantum telecommunication. The next surprise could become the wave of Chinese commercial space activities aiming not only on the national market but targeting international customers in the areas of launch services, remote sensing satellites, communication satellites, and satellite platforms. GoTaikonauts! has reviewed the historical beginnings and the development of China's commercial space activities until today. This comprehensive report can be read in issue no 22 (for release next month) In the current issue, issue no 21, can be found the first part of an report on the status quo in the Chinese commercial space industry – giving an overview on launcher activities.
Issue no 20
|Issue no 19
Issue no 19 features the quarterly report for January to March 2017, a summary of the White Papers on Space and on the Beidou Satellite Navigation System and a personal experience of a visit to China's FAST Five-Hundred Metre Aperture Spherical Telescope in Guizhou (also see: https://www.donesladventure.com/china-blog-china-attractions-china-things-to-do-live-in-china/how-to-get-to-the-fast-telescope-in-pingtang-guizhou-china).

Hello! I'm Andy Fanton, writer and cartoonist, but probably best known to you as the guy from the 'about' page on that website you once visited by mistake.
I've wanted to write and draw ever since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. So, when I left home and bid my grasshopper family farewell, I set off to find fame and fortune.
Instead, I became a writer and cartoonist.
Since then, I've worked on (trying to!) develop an animated series with Cosgrove Hall Films, written and/or drawn comics for The Beano, Dandy, Viz, and Private Eye, and even written comedy sketches for BBC Radio, plus quite literally more besides. As well as my professional gigs, I've also created webcomics (The Carrotty Kid), written webfiction under the guise of Lord Likely (soon to be a book too) and run the Youtube gaming channel, Ruddy Player One. WHEW!
I love my work – where else can you get paid to write jokes about farting? – and I love creating, and feel very lucky to be doing this. If you want to hire me for any cartoony or writery work, then get in touch HERE. Otherwise, feel free to browse through this site and have a look at what I do. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed looking at it after I'd finished it after looking at it for quite a while. Or something.
Fanton, 2017.

Gilchrist has lost our respect, says angry Harbhajan
Furious with Adam Gilchrist for questioning Sachin Tendulkar's integrity in the monkey-gate scandal, star Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh said the retired Australian has lost his respect.cricket Updated: Oct 24, 2008 21:07 IST
Furious with Adam Gilchrist for questioning Sachin Tendulkar's integrity in the monkey-gate scandal, star Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh said the retired Australian has lost his respect.
"He should not be talking about Sachin. It is all rubbish," an angry Harbhajan said.
"We don't respect him," the feisty off-spinner was quoted as saying by the 'Sydney Morning Herald'.
Gilchrist, in his soon-to-be-published autobiography, accused Tendulkar of providing different versions of the incident before the Match Referee and Appeal Commissioner.
Aghast at Gilchrist's allegation against Tendulkar, Harbhajan hit back at the Australian and said, "He pretends to be a saint and people say he walks when he nicks, but why did he appeal when batsmen don't nick?
"He always changes his mind according to a situation. If Australia is close to a victory, he is always going up (to appeal) whether it is out or not out. We don't need him to say these things just because he is retired."
Harbhajan was not willing to recall the details of the racism row featuring him and Andrew Symonds during India's tour of Australia earlier this year and said nobody should question the integrity of someone of Tendulkar's stature.
"I don't want to talk about that episode again and again. It is over," Harbhajan said.
"If you talk to any guy who plays or follows cricket about Sachin Tendulkar, they will talk about the respect he commands. These guys can't come close to him. I am really shocked," said the off-spinner, considered very close to Tendulkar.
Harbhajan, however, was happy with the current India-Australia Test series going without any major controversy and hoped the last two Tests would also be played in the same spirit.
"We are very focused on cricket and on the next Test in Delhi. We know Australia will come back very strong. It has been a great series so far," Harbhajan said.
"There have been no dramas in the first two Tests. I hope the next two will be playing in the gentleman's spirit," added the spinner.
Former India coach John Wright was equally stunned by Gilchrist's comments and said, "During my time with the team, impeccable would be a word that comes to mind. You can talk about sportsmanship on the field but I saw the pressure of being Sachin Tendulkar in India and he had time for everyone.
"In the heat of battle, I have always thought that what happens on the field stays on the field. That seems to have changed a bit. I know Australia plays the game very hard and I hope India has gained a harder competitive edge from that. I think they have, and we are seeing the results in this series," Wright said.
