9 great tools to run your startup in the cloud
Running kooaba now for a couple of years a few tools turned out to be handy. Let's just assume you start a tech company with at total of six coworkers (3 engineering, 2 business development / marketing , 1 management). Here's a setup that might work, for your convenience and your business plan including approximate cost.
Google apps
Get the power of gmail and Google Calendar for your business. What I like in particular: gmail with IMAP (accessed via Apple mail). Also, Google documents, to collaborate on documents and creating surveys. (Most used at kooaba: spreadsheets). The standard edition should be fine in the beginning.
Cost: Standard edition: FREE. / Premier: 6 x 50 = 300 USD/year.
The breakthrough tool for project management brought to you by 37signals. We use this for general project management, sharing docs, messages, etc. for all team members independent of role (sales or engineering). The Basic plan should be fine.
Cost (Basic Plan): 12 x 24 = 288 USD / year.
Skype or Yammer
We use Skype chat within the team throughout the day. Faster than email, but less obtrusive than talking to somebody or phonecall. (Why this is important? Ask Joel (Human Task Switches Considered Harmful) , or read Getting Real). Plus, obviously you can call clients, partners etc.
Cost: FREE.
Salesforce or Highrise
Salesforce is the tool of choice to manage your sales and customer contacts. What I like in particular is the web-form integration, which lets you create leads directly from contact forms on your web-site. You can really just use the Group edition, and this should be fine fort he beginning. Alternatively use Highrise from 37 signals. Is simpler and nicer in the UI, but it has less (no) features when it comes to tracking revenue etc.
Cost: 3x17x12 = 612 USD / year. (https://www.salesforce.com/smallbusinesscenter/editions/)
Trac + agilo
For software development, trac has been a popular tool for quite a while. Subversion integration, integrated WiKi make it irreplaceable for us. Since we switched to Scrum, we were also looking for a tool which supports Scrum and integrates with trac: we found it with agilo. There is a free and a pro edition.
Cost: Free / 4 x 10 x12 = 480 USD/year.
Amazon web services
Amazon web services are really the coolest thing since sliced bread. Just outsource all your computation needs. Now, how much you need obviously depends on what kind of business you are in. Let's assume you run some kind of web service, The first year you may need some 2 web server instances, one database, and some 500GB of storage. (I wrote another post on how you run an image search engine like kooaba on amazon web services).
2 reserved small instances: approx. USD 2000 / year
1 RDS database server (large instance) : about 2000 USD /year
500 GB S3 storage with some in/out : approx. 1000 / USD year
Total: about 5000 USD a year.
Google Analytics / web-site optimizer
Everybody knows what good (Web-) design is. So everybody wants to add his/her 2-cents. Let the numbers speak instead. Using A-B testing you can try several variations of your website, and measure what works best. Google web-site optimizer is a tool which helps you to do just that.
Cost: Free
E-mail marketing campaigns and newsletters made easy. The coolest feature is in my opinion RSS integration, so you can publish your blog-posts to an e-mail newsletter, too. How we use it at kooaba: we have a dedicated category "Newsletter†on our blog, which has also its own RSS feed. This is attached to mailchimp. Whenever you post some stuff on your blog, you can decide whether to send it to put it on the newsletter or not simply by adding the post it to the Newsletter category or not. Settings at mailchimp allow to send the collected new blog-posts only once a week or month for instance.
Cost: There is a free plan which should be ok in the beginning.
Talking about blogging: WordPress is an awesome and easy-to-use tool to publish your blog-posts. Even better, with its "Pages†feature you can use it as a Content Management System for your complete web-site. And it's free, too!
All in all you end up with about 6600 USD a year (5000 computation and 1600 for "tools").
So, start signing up.

Horror Game Release Schedule for April 2017
We're a week into what may very well be the most divisive month of them all. April, otherwise known to some as the Month of Fools, has its fair share of haters. April 1st can be a tiresome day to spend online, we all know that. But it's also a day of possibilities, and I absolutely stand by my opinion that Turbo Trump Ultra HD Golden Game of the Year Edition is something that needs to exist. This month is particularly exciting for this humble writer — philanthropist, provocateur — mostly because of a handful of games we'll get into in just a moment.
But first, let's chat about a few that released this past week.
Roots of Insanity
In the Cruxes of Crazy, players assume the role of Dr. Riley McClein, who's been tasked with investigating some strange occurrences at a hospital. Sounds like a sufficiently straightforward and perfectly attainable goal for Dr. McClein, but alas, this poor doctor's an epileptic. This is unfortunate for the cast of monsters you encounter in Seeds of Screwballery, who are fully aware of the doctor's condition. This means any attempt to provoke an epileptic attack is technically considered a hate crime, and that's a felony.
If dodging spooky creatures and navigating the legal grey areas in our woefully inept justice system — arguably the scariest monster of them all — sounds like your idea of a good time, Roots of Insanity isn't going to give you any of that. What it does have is hack 'n slash combat, a meaty story mode and loot.
Release Date: April 5 (PC)
White Noise 2
Remember that aggressively forgettable supernatural thriller flick with Michael Keaton? Me neither. Anyway, Milkstone Studios made a game called White Noise 2, and it has nothing to do with that movie I mentioned earlier that probably doesn't even exist now that I think about it. It's an asymmetrical multiplayer game in a similar vein as Damned and Dead by Daylight, where a team of four paranormal investigators are pit against a monster, which is also player-controlled.
One of the niftier features in this game is the twist it puts on spectating matches. When a player dies, they can choose to return as a ghost and continue helping their remaining living, breathing comrades. There's also a theater so you can watch older matches, if you're into that.
Release Date: April 7 (PC)
The Silver Case
Goichi Suda, or Suda51, is a designer with quite a lot of name recognition among fans of the horror genre thanks to his work on games like Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Lollipop Chainsaw and Shadows of the Damned. Before Suda51 gave us any of that, he made something called The Silver Case for the PSX. If you're a fan of this guy's more recent work, this remastered and fully localized version of the game may be worth checking out.
Release Date: April 18 (PS4)
Inner Chains
Here we go. Developer Telepaths Tree's debut title, the gloomy horror first-person shooter Inner Chains, is one of a growing number of indie projects that could confidently match the visual prowess of "AAA" titles. It's not just the gorgeous look of its atmospheric, alien world, but how that visual style extends to everything else, from the creative arsenal of weapons to the cast of creatures you'll use them on.
Release Date: April 20 (PC)
What Remains of Edith Finch
Enthusiasts of H.P. Lovecraft, Jorge Luis Borges and Fullbright's excellent adventure game Gone Home will want to keep an eye out for What Remains of Edith Finch. The game follows Edith and her journey to better understand her family's history by exploring the memories left by them in the sprawling Finch estate. The last survivor of the Finch family, Edith will need to replay her relatives' final moments in order to get the answers she seeks.
Release Date: April 25 (PC, PS4)
Outlast 2
Is there anything that can be said about Outlast 2 that hasn't already been said before, via the horse whisper of a smitten psychopath or written on the walls in blood? Based on my very public experiences with the original, as well as with the demo for its eagerly anticipated sequel (see above), I'm very confident that the fine folks at Red Barrels will not disappoint.
Release Date: April 25 (PC, PS4, XBO)
Little Nightmares
With a an art style that deftly balances quirky charm with creepy atmosphere and genuinely freaky monsters, Little Nightmares is the breath of fresh air during a month that's mostly comprised of shooters. Exploring, platforming, solving puzzles and overcoming the various other obstacles in The Maw may be the perfect palate cleanser before we dive face first into May.
Release Date: April 27 (PC, PS4, XBO)
That about covers it, as far as I can tell. If I missed anything, feel free to let me know in the comments!

A book I wrote 12 years ago will soon be available again.
I have had so many requests for a reprint I have decided to go ahead with it.
With new production techniques it is a far simpler process than even 10 years ago.
'The Naval Camps of Bedhampton, Havant and Leigh Park' tells of three of the former naval camps – Stockheath, HMS Daedalus III and Belmont that were located in what is now part of the Leigh Park estate and Bedhampton.
After the war displaced persons from the Baltic States were housed on the Daedalus III site and in the early 1950s Portsmouth people looking for a home lived in the Nissen huts before being housed in the new houses of Leigh Park.
There are many photographs plus additional material gained since the original production.
It has 106 pages in A4 soft-cover format and will be available in about eight weeks. Please e-mail me to reserve a copy. £15.99 including p&p.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is standing by his support for bringing Syrian refugees into the United States of America, even after the Paris murder-rampage by some of the many Muslims migrating into Europe.
In September, Rubio told CNN that "we would be potentially open to the relocation of some of these [refugee] individuals at some point in time to the United States."
On Saturday, Breitbart asked Rubio's campaign if he still stands by this statement. In response, Rubio's spokesman Alex Conant referred Breitbart News to two other previous interviews Rubio has done on the matter—essentially confirming that Rubio still supports, at this time, bringing Syrian refugees into America.
Conant insisted the Senator believes refugees need to be vetted. But there are increasing concerns about whether the Barack Obama administration will be able to effectively vet such refugees.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, said recently he believes there is no way to accurately vet the Syrian refugees. "We do not have access to any Syrian government database to learn the backgrounds of these refugee applicants," Sessions said in a recent statement.
Several more bullet points from Sessions' statement raised more concerns about the ability to vet the refugees.
"We have no capacity to determine the likelihood that Islamist refugees, once admitted to the United States, will become involved with terrorist activity," Sessions said.
"We are already struggling with a huge problem of prior Islamist refugees seeking to take up arms with terrorists, and we have every expectation that the Administration's current refugee plans will exacerbate that problem," Sessions added.
"It is not a probability, but a certainty, that among the more than 1 million migrants from Muslim countries we will admit over the next decade, a number will already be radicalized or radicalize after their entrance into the U.S.," he said.
Rubio's continued support for Syrian refugees come after refugees have been initially connected to what's happening in Paris.
"Greek police on Saturday said at least one man with a possible connection to the Paris attacks had registered as a refugee with Greek authorities earlier this year," the Agence-France Presse wire wrote from Athens, Greece. "French authorities had asked their Greek counterparts to check the fingerprints of one man who died in the attacks, with a Syrian passport found next to him, in addition to the fingerprints of another man. There were efforts to establish whether both had registered in Greece, the main entry point into Europe for Syrian refugees. The Greek minister for citizen protection, Nikos Toskas, said one of the men had been registered on the Greek island of Leros in October."
Of course, ISIS took credit for the attack—and so now that there are questions about refugee connections to terrorist attacks in ISIS' name, there's likely to be a whole new level of concern in America over any politician who supports bringing Syrian refugees to this country.
"People are not leaving because of Climate Change—they're leaving because there is war is breaking out, because terror groups are taking over territories and committing atrocities and imposing Sharia Law and driving people from the region," Rubio told the Boston Herald's radio program in one September interview that Conant cited.
"We knew that in Syria, we see that in the Middle East, we see that in parts of Africa as well. It's the instability created by the rapid growth and expansion of different terrorist groups throughout Africa and the Middle East that's driving this new surge of migration into Europe," Rubio said.
Had American troops stayed in Iraq rather than seeing a rapid massive withdrawal led by President Obama, "you would have had a more stable Iraq and therefore less likely a place for ISIS to be able to cross back over from Syria," he said.
Because the Obama administration didn't help "non-Islamists" in their fight against Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad, Rubio argued, "the only groups that were able to emerge from that vacuum and that chaos were radical jihadist groups not just like the Islamist State but also like Al-Nusra, Jabhat Al-Nusra. Those groups are now the predominant fighting force on the ground. They of course have established a base of operations in Syria but they've taken over entire cities in areas and created this sort of humanitarian crisis that ultimately has led to this refugee crisis both in Syria and now in Iraq and increasingly other parts of the world as well."
When asked by the Herald's radio show about how Democratic presidential candidate former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley had been pushing for the United States to bring in 57,000 Syrian refugees—and whether he would support bringing in "tens of thousands" of refugees from Syria himself—Rubio signaled he would.
"Well, we've always been a country willing to accept people who have been displaced," Rubio said.
"I would be open to that if it can be done in a way that would allow us to ensure that among them are not infiltrated people who are part of a terrorist organization that are using this crisis. I think overwhelmingly, the vast and overwhelming majority of people who are seeking refuge are not terrorists, of course. But you always are concerned by that. But the bigger issue is some of these communities, especially Christians have a longstanding ancient tradition in that region. They would prefer to stay in that region. So I think the better outcome—obviously we have to provide for their short term needs, but long term we have to have a regional strategy that allows especially Christians to be able to go back to their ancient cities and their ancient population centers where they've been for almost 2,000 years up until recent events."
The other interview Conant shared was one from Fox News in which Rubio called for a "safe zone" to be created inside Syria for refugees in their own country.
"Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio called for the U.S. and its allies to established a 'safe zone' inside Syria Monday night in the wake of Russian airstrikes to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad," Fox News wrote of the early October interview that Megyn Kelly had with Rubio. "The Florida senator and member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee told Fox News' Megyn Kelly the safe zone would alleviate three effects of Syria's bloody civil war. "
"Number one, [it would allow] a non-radical jihadist group to organize and prepare themselves," Rubio said, according to Fox News. "Number two [it would] stem some of this flow of migrants that are leaving [Syria] and going into Europe. If they had a place they could stay safely, they wouldn't make that journey. Number three, [it would] ultimately have something in place for a future without Assad."
This is not the first time Rubio has signaled support for expansion of refugee programs from the Middle East.
In 2013, Rubio backed a refugee-increase into the United States when he was drafted the "Gang Of Eight" amnesty bill with future Senate Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other Democrats and fellow establishment Republicans.
The bill, a senior Senate aide intricately involved in the process a couple years ago told Breitbart News, would have permitted the President—in consultation with the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security—to unilaterally increase migration into the United States.
The allowed the president to "classify not just individuals as refugees, but entire groups of aliens 'whose resettlement in the United States is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest' and 'who share common characteristics that identify them as targets of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion,;" the Senate aide said.
"While this provision may seem to be relatively innocuous, it is not… Under current immigration law and longstanding immigration practice, each individual case is weighed on its own unique merits or problems, and individuals do not automatically get approved as part of a class or group," the aide said.
In effect, the aide said, Rubio's bill would have turned "this longstanding tradition on its head and institutionalized what can only be called rubber-stamping and assumptions of eligibility that encourage fraud and deceit."
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an pro-American reform group that opposed the Rubio-Schumer "Gang of Eight" collaboration, raised serious concerns with the bill's refugee elements.
"Title III Subtitle D of S. 744 undermines current asylum and refugee law by eliminating preexisting requirements aliens apply for asylum within a certain time frame of entering the U.S., allowing asylum officers to bypass immigration judges before granting asylum to unlawful aliens, and giving broad authority to the Administration to create new categories of refugees and stateless persons to be admitted into the country," FAIR wrote in its analysis.
On ABC's This Week on Sunday morning, while defending himself from a criticism from rival candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Rubio seemed to go back the other way on this issue and sort of oppose bringing "more" refugees into the U.S. from Syria—even though several hundreds, maybe thousands, are already here.
This Week host George Stephanopoulos played video of Paul criticizing Rubio's "Gang of Eight" bill for its refugee policies, and blocking an amendment during the 2013 debate that would have fixed loopholes.
"Two or three years ago, I introduced a bill or an amendment to the immigration bill that would have provided for more scrutiny for people coming into our country — refugees, immigrants, students," Paul said in a speech criticizing Rubio. "Mine was a national security amendment, as well as an immigration amendment and Marco blocked it."
Rubio's response on ABC ducked the core of Paul's criticism. "Well, look, Rand just uses this sort of rhetoric to distract from his very weak record on national security issues. I mean, he's been one of the leading figures trying to gut the American intelligence programs. Think about the metadata program for a moment. Imagine if one of those strikes had occurred here in the United States," Rubio said.
"The first thing we would want to know is, what are the cell phones records of these people? Let's say that, God forbid, what happened in Paris happened in Washington. We would want to know — we would want access to these people's phone records, because it would give us clues as to who they were working with, who probably may be involved in plots themselves later on down the road. Rand Paul wants to get rid of that program. In fact, he's advocated and he's one of the leading figures behind part of that program being gutted now—"
Stephanopoulos cut him off there to press him again. "But did you in fact block an amendment that would have required more background checks?" the ABC host asked. "No," Rubio replied.
"Listen, the background checks are required now," Rubio said.
"The problem is not the background checks. The problem is we can't background check them. You can't pick up the phone and call Syria. And that's one of the reasons why I said we won't be able to take more refugees. It's not that we don't want to; it's that we can't because there's no way to background check someone that's coming from Syria. Who do you call and do a background check on them? The bottom line is that this is not just a threat coming from abroad. What we need to open up to and realize is that we have a threat here at home, homegrown violent extremists, individuals who perhaps have not even traveled abroad, who have been radicalized online. This has become a multi-faceted threat. In the case of what's happening in Europe, this is a swarm of refugees. And as I've said repeatedly over the last few months, you can have 1,000 people come in and 999 of them are just poor people fleeing oppression and violence but one of them is an ISIS fighter. If that's the case, you have a problem and there is no way to vet that out.
"There is no background check system in the world that allows us to find that out," he said, " because who do you call in Syria to background check them?"
After Rubio's appearance, Conant has not responded when asked whether Rubio stands by what he said on Boston Herald's radio show or stands by what he said on CNN over the past couple months.
Conant also has not answered whether Rubio believes the refugees brought into the U.S. from Syria already should be allowed to stay or should be returned to their homelands.

In The Tape Deck this month, Nooga.com spends time with new cassettes from K^ren, Ichtyor Tides, Nikmis and Igor Amokian.
K^ren, "NOTBALD"
The noise that Oakland, California, trio K^ren conjures is wild, elastic and fiercely resists any measure of description. Stray fragments of pop, rock and punk music mingle and attack each other before eventually bursting in a shower of distracting and ramshackle melodies. Despite their music feeling as though it's apt to fall apart at any moment, the band plows through their influences with a manic creativity. Shards of jagged sound spin out from their scruffy musical whirlwind, sending rhythmic shrapnel careening in all directions.
On their latest cassette, "NOTBALD," the band continues to mine these rough-hewn patches of scorched musical earth. And within these lo-fi stretches, there lies a pop heart that chugs and churns just beneath the surface of their collective DIY squall. Opening with a track that bears a striking similarity to a famous Jackson 5 song, the tape revels in its inspirations, resulting in a collection that becomes an ode to the force of boundless musical absorption. Across "NOTBALD," the band spits, rumbles and slings their burnished rock theatricality into the sky for all to see.
Ichtyor Tides, "En-Brunsia"
Ambient and drone-inclined music can be difficult to present in a coherent context and even more difficult to master. Those artists who find themselves wandering around in these liquid rhythms-whether it's through synthetic or organic means-soon realize that there must be some solid foundation on which these free-floating sounds are based. And for Ichtyor Tides (AKA musician Nikola Akileus), this evocation of ethereal construction forms the basis of his work under this moniker. He seems to understand that there must be a skeleton, a musical framework, that holds everything together, despite the superficial looseness surrounding the genre.
On his new cassette, "En-Brunsia," he builds a gauzy and amorphous atmosphere where haunting singularities twinkle and expand until their base elements crack open and burn their way through your subconscious. There's a sense of urgency that's accumulated, but Akileus doesn't stay locked into a set groove for very long, as each track displays a specific personality and direction. There's an overall effect of opaque asymmetry to his work, but he manages to keep it all fixed in our view while the sounds attempt to escape our notice. He builds entire worlds from strands of droning ambience and sporadic melodicism-it's a gorgeous and unsettling bit of skewed craftsmanship.
Nikmis, "Widdendream"
Japanese artist Nikmis specializes in exploring the depths provided by the sounds of baroque electronic music. His fascination with this reinterpretation of classical music leads him to some very strange places, but his releases always feel welcoming, even when we have no idea what to expect from one track to the next. His ability to infuse his modular synth symphonies with a natural cadence and development stands as a testament to his loose-limbed creativity, the kind of freewheeling innovation that few musicians ever seem to approach and fewer still manage to successfully emulate.
With "Widdendream," Nikmis finds a precarious balance within these circuital structures, giving the music a chance to bloom and expand when it first tests the air around your head. There's a grand and theatrical sentiment lacing itself throughout the entire collection, with the florid synth arrangements and Nikmis' intimate perspective creating a doorway into which we can briefly glimpse the artificial mechanics at the heart of these songs. Every track seems so emphatic and revelatory, an echoing and resonant response to the glut of soulless electronic music that floods the mainstream avenues each year.
Igor Amokian, "Bentronicles"
Igor Amokian is a beat maker and musician whose work stretches across genres and defies the assumptions of any associated musical movement. His ragged beats and metallic melodies often gaze skyward, up to the heavens and beyond, into the endless sea of stars and planets. But he always sees his music as grounded in the influences of both the past and present, offering a complicated and fierce reimagining of classic rap tropes and a motorik beat-driven noise. He slowly stretches the borders of his chosen musical landscapes and broadens both the appearance and production inherent to the particular histories that he investigates.
On the new Amokian-curated compilation "Benronicles," he blends his distinctive beats and skewed melodies with the lyrical prowess of a handful of rappers from all over the world. His mechanical and static-filled backdrops provide the perfect platform for emcees like Ten Headed Skeleton, Bizzart, 9P, Big Epoch and Zardon Ompsfa to drop verses like chloric acid. These tracks possess a variable outlook and push against the constraints of hip-hop ad beat tape expectations. The results are as remarkable and vitriolic as you might imagine, with each artist spilling their thoughts and hearts across these sounds with the skill and dexterity of a seasoned street seer.

Blue Cobblestones of san Juan
Pristine green beaches, vivid architecture and a visit back in time that's San Juan for you. On the island of Puerto Rico, you are sure to miss this mesmerizing beauty, as it generally is the dock for most cruises coming to Puerto Rico. Most visitors come here on a day trip, but the old, walled city has much more to offer.
Extremely narrow streets, buildings on both sides painted in a palette of tropical fruit colors with elaborate wooden doors, patios and eye-catching balconies. When you walk the historic district of Old San Juan you cannot help noticing the beautiful blue cobblestone streets. The stones were baked in Spain in the 1800's and brought to Puerto Rico as ballast. They are known as Aquinas for their beautiful bluish gray color. Many of the stones are very worn, which just adds to their charm.
To absorb city's history and feel it through the cobblestone streets it is best explored on foot. This island has an array of exquisitely preserved architecture, sprawling forts, cruise filled docks, tiny antique shops and art galleries, retaining the old world charm.
Tourists mainly visit the EL Morro Fort, which dates back to 1539, the Cathedral of San Juan, where the island's first governor, Ponce de Leon, is buried and La Fortaleza, the oldest governor's mansion on U.S. soil. Old San Juan also boasts of several colonial plazas; and the triumvirate of Calle del Cristo, Calle San Jose and Calle Fortaleza for shopping. Calle del Cristo, in particular, is chock-full of art galleries, artisan studios and distinctive boutiques.
Duck into a bar for a Pina Colada (it originated here), sample the local cuisines and take some time out for hand carved wooden saints while enjoying the talented street performers. There are tons of shops to cater to everybody's taste. And while walking through the peaceful buildings, you could capture the lovely view of the sea. Sure enough not to miss the warm sand and waters of the Luqillo Beach. Another treasure that San Juan offers is the La Plaza de las Palomas or the Plaza of the Doves; you cannot see your feet because there are just so many doves.
Just an hour south from the European styled city and you can visit America's only rainforest, El Yunque. The experience is as breathtaking as the imprints of renaissance in the city. You'll see numerous waterfalls, ferns and wildflowers along the marked trails.
If you are able to get some time off your sail, do enjoy the vibrant nightlife and rum that is produced on this island. Be there to experience it!

LONDON (Reuters) - Eurosceptics who want Britain to quit the European Union are letting pro-EU campaigners get a head start in mobilizing opinion ahead of an In/Out referendum that could take place within a year, Britain's most prominent Eurosceptic said on Thursday.
Prime Minister David Cameron, buoyed by an unexpectedly decisive election win in May, has already begun trying to renegotiate Britain's relationship with the EU, saying he will campaign for a 'Yes' to continued membership if the talks are successful.
Nigel Farage, leader of the anti-EU UK Independence Party (UKIP), said high-profile interventions such as U.S. President Barack Obama saying he wanted Britain to stay in the EU, and the launch of pro-EU campaign groups such as Universities for Europe, had left the 'No' side lagging.
While there have been reports of 'No' campaigners planning launches, and some of Cameron's Conservative lawmakers have formed a group that will push to leave if he does not secure major changes, there has been little public campaigning for the 'No' side, and no figurehead has emerged to lead it.
"There is no doubt at all that the 'Yes' side are in the lead," Farage said. "We cannot allow Cameron to go into this renegotiation unchallenged, we cannot allow the 'Yes' side to have the massive head start they have got."
Cameron has promised to hold the referendum no later than 2017, and last week the Independent on Sunday said he had penciled in a date next June.
In a poll of 5,000 people by Survation published on Thursday, 45 percent said they planned to vote to stay in the bloc, 37 percent wanted to leave and 18 percent were undecided.
UKIP polled 12.6 percent in May, but many Eurosceptics say its leader is too divisive to take a prominent role in the 'No' campaign.
Farage said he would not seek to head the official 'No' campaign, and hoped someone from business or sport would do so.
He also said he would "obviously" step back if his involvement appeared to be damaging the 'No' vote, but at the moment he was "probably better than no one".
From September, UKIP plans to use its network of local branches and members to host hundreds of public meetings across the country to urge a departure from the EU, Farage said.
"I am also urging those in other campaigns who seem to think it is better to wait until the prime minister comes back from his renegotiation ... that this is a terrible mistake, that we are giving the prime minister a big head start in this and that is the wrong approach," Farage said.
"The whole Eurosceptic movement needs to do two things: 1) get cracking, and 2) come together."

As the US Open 2016 gets near, world no. 1 Serena Williams continuously faces issues regarding her possible downfall. Various sources mentioned the names of the tennis players who could possibly replace her on the top spot if the American no. 1 seeded upsets next week.
Among the strongest candidates slated are no. 2 seeded German Angelique Kerber, no. 30 seeded Russian Ekaterina Makarova, no. 4 seeded Polish Agnieszka Radwanska, and no. 3 seeded Spanish-Venezuelan Garbine Muguruza, who created a name in Wimbledon 2016.
New York Post mentioned that there is a high probability that the top-seeded American Serena Williams will face the two-time major US Open semi-finalist Ekaterina Makarova or Germany's Angelique Kerber who is the closest candidate for the spot.
ALSO READ: Roger Federer to retire, new career lined up after he quits?
In our previous report, we wrote about Kerber's odds to replace the 34-year-old American in her current WTA Rankings given that the German wins a Grand Slam title in the nearing US Open. With only 200-point gap, the German could easily take her spot if Williams loses another match.
However, if Williams prevents Kerber's dispatch, she could retain her spot and extend the point gap between her and Kerber. Yet, her shoulder problem could deter it like she experienced in the recently concluded Rio Olympics 2016.
Her goal of winning an Olympic medal suddenly became murky after Lucie Safavora and Barbora Strycova from the Czech Republic defeated her within the first round doubles. But other slated candidates could also be her threat as well.
Russian Makarova who's currently in no. 8 in latest WTA Rankings, was able to defeat Williams in the 2014 US Open and 2015 Australian Open tournaments. In addition to that, French Open winner Garbine Muguruza and Agnieszka Radwanska are also predicted to pull Williams out from the court during the semi-finals.

In general, Williams' next upset could lead her in danger of losing her no. 1 spot in WTA Ranking against these powerful tennis players. It's up to her if she successfully pulls her US Open matches off or not. If not, this year could be the end of her reign.

The Cookeville High School volleyball team's season has unfortunately come to an end as the Lady Cavaliers fell to the Walker Valley Mustangs 3-1 on Monday in the first round of the Region 3-AAA …
The Cookeville High School volleyball team's season has unfortunately come to an end as the Lady Cavaliers fell to the Walker Valley Mustangs 3-1 on Monday in the first round of the Region 3-AAA Tournament at Cleveland High School.
"Walker valley dug really well," CHS head coach Jackie Cox said. "They played at a different tempo than we're used to. They set higher balls, the arm speed of some of their hitters wasn't as fast, and that's not a knock against them. It was just little off for us, especially with our blockers on timing. On the defensive side, it's almost like we were moving at that slow rate. When we played our fast-paced tempo, they couldn't handle it."
The entire match was extremely closely contested as all but the last set were decided by just two-point differences. The Mustangs took the first two sets by scores of 23-25 and 24-26.
"The first set was close the whole time. It was tied up with lead changes all throughout the entire set," Cox said. "I feel like, for the most part, we still dominated that set until the end. We missed more serves than we normally do, and that hurt some in the beginning.
"We led highly by a good bit of points in the second set for a long time, but we allowed them to come back. There were opportunities for us to put it away several times, but we got stuck in a couple of rotations where how (Walker Valley) was lined up, they were just digging our hitters well."
The Lady Cavs ended up changing the ending in the third set. Cox said that Jennilee Cobb had a crucial block that helped them win 26-24 and that it gave them some motivation going into the fourth and final set. However, missing on some more serves dug CHS in a small hole early, and the Mustangs took the fourth 20-25.
"Looking at it now, things weren't clicking as much as they normally do," Cox said. "As a coach, you go back and think, 'what could I have done to change that?' We practiced Friday morning, and I didn't see the girls until we pulled up to leave Monday afternoon. We don't really get to travel together all of us, and I just felt kind of detached because I hadn't seen any of them in three days. If I could go back and change it, I would have scheduled us to have lunch together before we left, and that's the only thing I would have changed."
Cobb ended up leading Cookeville's hitters up front with 16 kills. She was backed up by other outside hitter Grace Roberts with 15 kills and Ruth Ann Ramsey with 14. Bell Bontrager led the defensive effort at the net with five blocks.
On the back line, senior libero and District 6-AAA MVP Brianna Bungart anchored the defensive effort with 29 digs. She had a good amount of help as Ellie Buckner had 20 digs and Blake Cherry chipped in 17. Jurnee Wilson had one of her best games of the season as she racked up 53 assists on offense.
Before the postseason started, the Lady Cavs went undefeated in District 6-AAA at 6-0 and had some success in the several tournaments they competed in. They then went on to not drop a single set in the District 6-AAA Tournament by beating their rival White County Warriorettes 3-0 in the first round and Warren County 3-0 in the championship.
"I think we had a great season," Cox said. "We've been in some tournaments where we've played some teams that we should have beat but didn't, and then we would turn right back around in that same tournament and beat somebody that would make people say wow. Towards the end of the season, we were playing really well together and peaking at the right time. This team has probably been the one where we've had the most options out of our hitters. No matter who was on the front row, some one was always playing well. I'm extremely proud of the girls."

I saw these on another blog and literally started drooling. I was just waiting for the right time to make them. Oh man, they are good. I followed the directions given in the blog, except for these:
I used a box of Betty Crocker's Hershey Triple Chocolate brownies because I am a glutton for punishment. I followed the directions on the box. After that, I used the ready made Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie dough that comes in the refrigerated cookie section. I just scooped out tablespoons and dropped them over the brownie mix as instructed. I used a metal baking pan, a 13 x 9 brownie pan specifically, and let them bake about 30 minutes at 350 until the toothpick came out clean. I waited for them to cool, then I used Pillsbury Whipped Chocolate frosting and laid down an even coat of frosting across the top. Several hours later, they were perfection.
One bite, and I have found a little piece of heaven here on earth.

Most of the papers, collected in DB of articles created in ProOptiBeef, have proved and disproved statements attached. The statements were extracted from the articles by a group of experts who analyzed the papers within ProOptiBeef project. OntoBeef was applied to represent them. For this purpose we have created a new ontology, we called it OntoBeef Science, which imports OntoBeef Domain and uses its classes to express scientific laws.
Currently Science provides the taxonomy of scientific laws and its ontological characterization.
The types of scientific laws, we adopted in the project, were taken from the works of Polish philosophers of science and nature: K. Ajdukiewicz and W. Krajewski. They represent standard, classical views on science which we find appropriate for our task as confluent with the usual practice in the kind of science we deal with. The distinctions proposed by them were analyzed in terms of their use in ontological modeling and reasoning. Then we have chosen the types of laws which are present in our domain of interest and specified their meaning.
Figure 1 depicts the final taxonomy of scientific laws.
We use OWL-API application to deduce new scientific laws on the basis of ones already coded in Science ontology. We shall point out only two of possibly many ways of obtaining new knowledge from our ontology.
The first type of reasoning is illustrated in figure below.
It concerns functional laws. Having two laws in the ontology, e.g. law 1 treating Q1 as dependent quality and Q2 as independent one, and having law 2 treating Q2 as independent quality and Q2 as dependent one, the reasoning system generates a new scientific law (law 3) treating Q1 as dependent quality and Q3 as independent one.
Example: From two theses present in Science:
– rate of glycolysis ⊑ ∃ isIndependentParameterIn {t7}
– beef aging time ⊑ ∃ isDependentParameterIn {t7} and
– beef aging time ⊑ ∃ isIndependentParameterIn {t4}
– beef tenderness ⊑ ∃ isDependentParameterIn {t4}
our application infers a law:
– rate of glycolysis ⊑ ∃ isIndependentParameterIn {t-new}
– beef tenderness ⊑ ∃ isDependentParameterIn {t-new}
New laws found by the application are intended to be verified by the domain experts and if accepted, will be added to the list of laws.
The second type of reasoning is a 'reverse inheritance' of scientific laws. It is illustrated in figure below.
Let us consider class C1 with two children C2 and C3 and assume that C1 is not governed by any scientific law in our ontology, whereas C2 and C3 are governed by scientific laws: 1 and 2 respectively. In this situation our system signalizes that although there is no law governing all instances of C1, there are laws which take into account some of them. System points out the subclass of C1 and provides information about the laws governing them. For instance, "sensory attribute" has no law in our prototype, whereas its subclass "beef tenderness" or "beef color" are governed by laws. While browsing "sensory attribute" system informs about the laws of its subclasses.

- Now here's the part where Aaron Murray probably wishes he had just kept his mouth shut.
During interviews Tuesday, a reporter noticed that Murray looked kind of sleepy. So he asked the Georgia star quarterback if he had just woken up. No, Murray answered, he was glossy-eyed because he was still getting used to wearing contacts, which he began using last week.
And of course this led down the path you would expect.
No, he is not planning on wearing them in games, though he could eventually. But no, he doesn't think they're necessary.
"My eyes aren't that bad," Murray said, explaining that he's just wearing them during the day to try to get used to them. "It's just in class, if I'm sitting in the back, small words up on the screen give me a little trouble. Really my eyes are fine."
You can see safeties downfield, right?
"Yes, I can see safeties, and I can see color," Murray said, laughing and realizing that this was about to become a whole thing. "No excuses because of eyes, that's for sure. ... I see fine. It has not effected me at all in practice. No, not at all."
Murray has averaged less than an interception per game during his career - 32 in 41 games. He has completed 61.5 percent of his passes, including 64.5 last season. Vision, he says, has never been a problem on the football field.
"If I get used to them and I'm not having this glazed look in my eyes, then yes I might (wear them in games)," Murray said. "But I don't know who wears contacts, all y'all have glasses on, but it just takes awhile to get used to."
The one thing he will rule out is wearing a glove on his throwing hand. That Liberty Bowl his freshman year took care of that.
"No, I definitely can't wear those. I'll get killed," Murray said, laughing.
Then it returned to more discussion of football, Clemson and goals for 2013.
A minute later, another reporter pulled up.
"I walked up late," he said, "how long have you start wearing contacts?"
Murray buried his head and smiled.

Featured Angels
Writen by Angel Mom, Laura
Talon was born January 24, 2006. He was full term and weighed 7 lbs 14.9 oz and was 20 3/4in. About a week after bringing Talon home from the hospital,his mother Tiffany began to feel like there was something going on in his tiny body that just was not right. She had no idea what the next 3 and a half years had in store for Talon and her family.
Talon was an extremely fussy infant who on some days would scream and cry for over 12 hours. At two weeks of age his pediatrician prescribed Zantac and assured his family that he just had reflux and would be fine. Tiffany was not comfortable giving him Zantac and can still remember the face he would make every time she gave it to him. On the medication,he continued to scream and fuss and began projectile vomiting every time he nursed.Tiffany became housebound and had no visitors. She addressed these issues at every well baby check and the pediatrician never expressed any concern.
The family got used to the chaos and chronic vomiting-- life went on.When Talon was a year old, he had cow's milk for the first time. He vomited within minutes. Tiffany discussed this with his pediatrician and was told to keep trying and he would grow out of it. She continued to give him milk but, in addition to the vomiting, he developed diarrhea.It was at this point that Talon's diagnostic odyssey began.
The first of three GI doctors they visited ordered countless tests and he underwent his first endoscopy. The endoscopy showed that his lower esophageal sphincter did not close and his biopsy was normal. Testing for allergies, parasites,diabetes and lead all came back normal. Talon continued to get sick on what appeared to be a monthly cycle.
On December 14, 2008, Tiffany scheduled an appointment with a new GI doctor as the first one had retired. The new GI did not feel like it was necessary to run further tests. Talon had another episode on January 24, 2009 which Tiffany addressed with the pediatrician at his well baby checkup on January 27th. He suggested taking Talon back to his new GI doctor. Given the frequent doctor appointments, Tiffany started to feel like everyone thought she was crazy. She was worried that people thought she was crazy as nobody had seen him when he was sick and all the obvious things they were testing for were coming back'normal'.
On February 11, 2009 Talon got sick again, and this time he was throwing up blood. Tiffany immediately took him to the ER and the doctors ran further tests. He was given an IV and he was discharged with instructions to follow up with his doctors. Tiffany took Talon back to his pediatrician and again they were told to go back to his GI. At the next visit the GI doctor ordered a head CT, kidney ultrasound, and x-rays. She also wanted to do another endoscopy.
On March 10, 2009, the day he was having his head CT, Talon began dry heaving.The scan was completed and there were no other incidents. On March 11,2009, he had the second round of testing done. Those also were without incident and all came back normal.
On March 18, 2009, Talon was scheduled for his second endoscopy. On the way he began vomiting in the car. At the time,Tiffany thought he would be alright but mentioned the vomiting to the nurse. He became increasingly irritable and by the time they got up to the waiting area he had began vomiting again. The doctors didn't feel comfortable going through with his procedure and instead admitted him. They began an IV and Zofran for vomiting.
Talon stayed in the hospital and the doctors ran more tests. The doctor kept Tiffany updated on the results and he was comfortable with the diagnosis of "Cyclic Vomiting". The last tests they wanted to run were just to 'rule out' any of the more rare metabolic disorders but they assured her that they expected the tests to be negative. Talon was discharged from the hospital and his family waited to hear back from the doctor about test results and rescheduling of the endoscopy.
The following Monday was a day Tiffany will never forget. She received a call from the nurse in the GI's office who told her that 'some of the tests for rare metabolic disorders came back abnormal'. Tiffany had no idea what this meant and the nurse did not explain much over the phone. The nurse wanted Talon to come in to the office and they would talk about it more at that time. When Tiffany went to see the GI doctor, the results were explained but the doctor did not seem concerned or particularly educated about what was going on with Talon. Tiffany made the decision to switch to a new GI doctor.
Talon began seeing his current GI doctor who after looking over all his test results and sitting with Tiffany for almost 2 hours made the decision to refer them to the Biochemical Genetics Department at Seattle Children's Hospital which is where Talon's family finally began getting some answers. They were given an emergency protocol letter, specific instructions and orders for labs. The next time Talon became ill, Tiffany was instructed to take him directly to the ER and give them the protocol letter and instructions.Over the summer Talon had began seeing an Endocrinologist. More tests from that end. Further tests were run which seemed to raise more questions rather than give the answers they were desperately seeking.
Talon's next episode was October 19,2009. He began vomiting early in the morning and with orders in hand, Tiffany rushed Talon to the ER. Although this was not the worst episode he'd had, Tiffany had a feeling that she was about to get to the bottom of what was going on.Tiffany got a call about two weeks later from Talon's Endocrinologist who stated that Talon should be taken back to the Geneticist. She reviewed the test results with the Geneticist over the phone. The results initially indicated that Talon hadVery long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase(VLCAD) but the Geneticist assured her that he was certain Talon did not have VLCAD, but felt he had Ketone Utilization Disorder (KUD), also know as Beta-ketothiolase Deficiency. Tiffany was told that Talon seemed to be on the more "mild end of it" therefore, as long as they stay on top of his diet and meds,he should continue to thrive and do wonderfully!
Tiffany feels that education is very important,and strives to educate the medical professionals she comes in to contact with about KUD, and other Organic Acidemias. Greater knowledge and understanding in the medical community could have led to Talon receiving his diagnosis many years ago, and Tiffany hopes that raising awareness can help make a difference for another child and family.
Tiffany and her family are still learning about KUD, and what it means for Talon,but she has already become an active,supportive member of the BBAF family.Tiffany is very grateful to have found this foundation, and is comforted knowing that there are other families out there that understand and can relate to her feelings and answer her questions.

This Me'ah Berachot manuscript, a miniature prayer book, is an exquisite
exe of how Jewish heritage can be passed down for the delight and
enrichment of future generations. It was handwritten and illuminated in
Central Europe during the eighteenth century, and is today in the hands of
a private collector in New York.
Traditionally, pious Jews seek to recite blessings
on at least one hundred
occasions daily. This unique manuscript, the name Me'ah Berachot means 'one
hundred blessings', is a compendium of blessings, each allocated to a time
of day or to a special event. It gathers together morning prayers, Grace
after Meals, prayers on retiring at night (Qriat Sh'ema), petitions for the
safety of travellers and many other texts to be recited on special
occasions for exe on seeing a beautiful tree, on hearing thunder or on
wearing a new garment for the first time. Since it also includes three
blessings specifically related to womanly duties (mitzvoth nashim) - on
breadmaking, ritual bathing and kindling the Sabbath lights - the book was
probably commissioned as a special gift to a woman. Such a splendid prayer
book may well have been presented to a bride and would doubtless have been
treasured by generations of her descendants. Indeed it is a miniature
handbook of Jewish life intended for Jews of all ages.
Folios 0v-1r, showing the beautifully illustrated title page.
Besides the beautifully written text, the manuscript contains an
illuminated title-page and twenty-nine miniature panels illustrating some
of the activities associated with the blessings included. Each painting is
headed by a cartouche containing the relevant blessing, preceded by
directions on how to recite it, written in a more cursive Yiddish script.
Additional miniatures fascinatingly depict a variety of everyday genre
scenes - lighting the Sabbath candles, family mealtimes, tending the
garden, putting on new clothes, entering the ritual bath, and even the then
common medical practice of bloodletting.
The manuscripts seventy pages measure 36
x 40 mm (1.4" x 1.6"). It is
bound in its original gold-tooled leather case with handmade silver clasps,
bosses and corner plates. Despite the minute size of the book, the script
is so clear that all the texts can be read with ease.
This little book is a remarkable example of
the revival of Hebrew
manuscript illumination in the eighteenth century. At that time, long after
the invention of printing, it was recognized that a handwritten and finely
illustrated book offered a sense of luxury and respect for religious ritual
unmatched since the Middle Ages.

At the heart of Henry III's rebuilding of Westminster Abbey was the magnificent shrine of St Edward the Confessor, whose patronage of the monastery was largely responsible for its wealth and importance.
The shrine stands in its own chapel behind the high altar and occupies the lofty, apsidal east end of the Gothic church. Its importance is emphasised architecturally by the processional ambulatory surrounding it and by the radiating chapels beyond. The original lavish decoration included a Cosmati-work pavement, laid at the same time as the great pavement in the sacrarium, though in a different style. Originally the shrine could be seen from the crossing and quire, and only when the altar screen was built in the mid-fifteenth century did St Edward's Chapel become the enclosed space it is today.
Saints' shrines were found in many medieval churches, but in Britain most were destroyed at the Reformation, and Edward is the only major English saint whose body still rests in its medieval shrine. Henry III's devotion to the Confessor led him to choose burial close to the shrine. Several of his successors followed his example and five kings and four queens now lie here in some of the most important medieval tombs in the country.
The Shrine was in medieval times an important place of pilgrimage. In recent years, some elements of pilgrimage have been restored. Twice a day, some of the Abbey's community and visitors assemble in the Shrine for prayer, in addition to parish pilgrim groups each week and a national pilgrimage in Edwardtide, an important element in the Abbey's annual rhythm of prayer and devotion.

Urban Farmer Round-up
Re-cap of the Midwest Urban Farmers Summit by Adam Peterson, GCM Program Coordinator
This weekend, I had the privilege of attending the Midwest Urban Farmers Summit at The Plant in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. Attendees traveled from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan to attend the event. This years keynote consisted of state Rep. Sonya Harper, Christy Webber of Christy Webber Landscapes, and Rodrigo Cala of Cala Farms Origines in Turtle Lake, WI. Most of the discussion surrounded what we are doing within Chicago to promote greater job training and skill building, nutrition education, and decreasing barriers to entry for starting community gardens, urban agriculture initiatives, and kitchen & garden education.
One of the biggest barriers in Illinois is the lack of legal recognition of urban agriculture. State Rep. Harper discussed her current House Bill that is set to recognize urban agriculture and create an Urban Agricultural Zone (UAZ). This will allow for additional funding, resources, and simplified zoning regulations. Also, it would create a UAZ fund for sales tax of urban agricultural products to be pooled into for municipalities to redistribute within the industry.
Since urban agriculture is much more than just growing food, I attended a workshop on fostering youth engagement. Green City Market is continuing their Edible Education work by offering youth education at market and the Edible Gardens, as well as increasing its presence in Chicago schools with kitchen and garden educational programming. During the workshop, we discussed different ways youth can be engaged in growing, how to better assess needs of different communities, how to maintain relevance and inclusivity within those communities, as well as different ways to measure student success. Success can be identified in broad ways, such as trying new foods, learning accountability and responsibility, or simply a student bringing home produce they grew to share with family and friends. It's been wonderful to hear students at our schools return with stories of how they convinced a parent or sibling to try something new, or make something from scratch that they generally bought pre-made.
Our markets support both urban and rural farms. As we move forward, it's important that both types of farming are recognized, have resources and, are supported by consumers. The summit also reminded me that if we have time to volunteer, skills to teach or resources to share, then we need to get more involved! Spring will be upon us soon, let's continue to eat well, share with others, and remember the world at large.

only just started playing so dont know if some of my suggestions are already added but anyways...
how about adding water to the maps you could then have ships and ship yards etc. this would be cool.
also i find sometimes that i cant see what "tanks" I'm actually building as the icons are so similar. you cant even see the turret to see the differences as they are so small.
make it clearer what advantage 1 weapon has over another weapon as i find it hard to know what works best between what.
also different shapes would be cool for the tanks as its all a bit generic.
how about extra elements like trees more buildings or other objects that make the map nicer - rather than so barren.
planes? dont know if this is possible in later levels but would be cool too.
love the game and that its FREE keep up the great work!

Martin Mars Could be Flying by Later This Week
The Coulson Group, operators of the world's largest privately flown water bomber, are being considered for a contract with the Province of British Columbia for use of the Hawaii Mars.
"We have notified the province of our rates and we now have a contract in place and we are waiting for government to order the Mars up," said CEO Wayne Coulson.
"The earliest we told them is most likely a Thursday start depending how many days they take to decide."
Earlier reports falsely claimed a contract had been signed. Currently Coulson does have an ongoing contract for the use of their helicopter services.
"We provided the information to them, and that's where it's at," Coulson said. "We're watering the Mars tomorrow morning and we're going to start test flying it."
The Martin Mars owned by the Coulson Group have been in a tug-of-war of sorts regarding where they should eventually be retired. Hopefully this will postpone the discussion for a bit as they concentrate on keeping them flying first!
Additional Information on the Martin Mars aircraft:
A record number of fires continue to burn out west. There has been some controversy about using the giant Martin Mars. Here are some interesting comments from the B.C. government on their airtanker fleet and the Martin Mars.
- It's important to note that aircraft do not put out wildfires, ground crews do. Many airtankers can drop long-term fire retardant on a wildfire to slow its growth and allow ground crews to safely contain it.
- The Martin Mars cannot drop long-term fire retardant, which is critical in B.C.'s terrain and firefighting conditions.
- Because of its size, the Martin Mars can only land on and scoop up water from about 113 bodies of water in B.C.
- From 2007 to 2013, the Martin Mars was only deployed on 20 wildfires, or about 0.5 per cent of the 3,476 airtanker missions flown during that period (at a cost of about $4.8 million).
- When drawing a comparison between the Martin Mars and the Fire Bosses (aircraft) that worked the fires in Kelowna in 2003 and in West Kelowna in 2014 respectively, the Fire Bosses delivered more volume and were more cost-effective than the Martin Mars. On the Smith Creek fire (West Kelowna), the Province's Fire Boss group dropped 586,000 litres over 11.3 hours, at a cost of $0.19 per litre. In contrast, on the 2003 Kelowna fire, the Martin Mars dropped 690,000 litres over 28 hours at a cost of $0.63 per litre. The suppressant delivery rate for Fire Bosses in West Kelowna was twice that of the Martin Mars in Kelowna.
- Over the past six weeks, the new Fire Boss aircraft have actioned more fires than the Martin Mars did in six years.
- There is only one Martin Mars in B.C. The mechanical failure rate of the piston engines used by the Martin Mars is much greater than that of modern turbine engines.
- Because of its relatively slow airspeed and large size, the Martin Mars is more difficult to integrate into B.C.'s firefighting operations, including close air support for firefighters on the ground.
- The Martin Mars' large drop pattern can sometimes make it unsafe to use when providing close air support for ground crews. Firefighters on the ground have to stop work until drops are completed, which may increase the risk of a fire escaping during the critical initial attack stage.
- Although the Martin Mars has a tank capacity of 27,250 litres, the average drop volume is 19,000 litres with an average turnaround time of 19 minutes. The average turnaround time for the Fire Bosses is seven minutes.

Polaroid has undergone a certain rebirth with their digital line of products, probably also with the advertising help of LadyGaga. In this article, the Polaroid Z2300 is introduced, a digital camera integrating a ZINK printer. Its price will be 160 $, while the cost of paper will be 0.50 $ per sheet (the prints are 2x3 inch in size, not really impressive). The people who tested it, say "We're absolutely loving the chromatic stripe that's emblazoned across the front. It gives the camera that much more of a old school aesthetic." That's some good appreciation of vintage style cameras, I would say, especially for the "chromatic stripe". Moreover, they state "Prints take about 40 seconds to print, but when it's all said and done, the photos do seem to have that slightly blurry look reminiscent of old instant film cameras. Polaroid reps also told us that filters can be applied in-camera Instagram-style before printing, which should add some more value to the Z2300." OK, someone can call it "value", the extra upgrade options which inflate the price tag.....Hmmm...I am puzzled....really.....I just don't get it. Where's the whole point? Customer satisfaction? Sure...
One can buy a Polaroid Land Camera for something like 10-20 $ or so (the better or collectible models cost more, of course), and in a good shape-there are still so many around. One can buy 1 pack of Fuji NP instant film (10 sheets) for about 10 $, that's 1 $ per shot. Even the cheapest Pola cameras give the "instagram-like" look by default (the lenses are just right for this-only 2 plastic elements), without any "upgrades". Yes, they are bulkier than the newest Pola Z2300, but surely greater eye-catchers, too. They have bellows, after all. If you want to break even with both cameras, you need to make about 300 shots with each. Not really likely to happen very soon. Probably, most people would make maybe a hundred shots and then forget about the camera or dispose it somewhere for a long time. My point: these "glorious days of instant photo" can be rekindled anytime by anyone, without buying the newest gadget. And the Pola Land was just one example!
