UAE-based shipyard, Gulf Craft has started building its largest yacht to date. First introduced at last year's Monaco Yacht Show, the 53-meter Majesty 175 is scheduled to be launched in the early summer of 2019.
The announcement that Gulf Craft would start building its first Majesty 175 follows the shipyard debuting its flagship Majesty 155 in 2016. "Gulf Craft has grown and evolved with its customers" commented Mohammed Hussein Al Shaali, Chairman of Gulf Craft back in 2016. "Our aim is to continue redefining superyacht production using advanced composites to a size once thought impossible".
For this new build, Cristiano Gatto was chosen to design the yacht's interior, which is set to stretch over a total of 5 decks and an interior volume of over 700GT. Not a lot of details are currently known about the Majesty 175 but its first renderings suggest that the yacht will have a spa pool forward of the upper deck and a beach club.

Italian yacht builder Benetti has announced the sale of the first 40-metre superyacht Oasis BO101 to a former world champion and offshore powerboat racer Tim Ciasulli from the USA, represented by Merle Wood & Associates.The yacht with a fibreglass hull and superstructure and a gross tonnage of 385 tonnes, is already being outfitted at the Livorno facility, planned for completion in summer 2020. The assembly has already been completed of the hull and superstructure, with outfitting began on July 26.BO101 is going to be the first Oasis 40M, a 40.80-metre yacht with a maximum beam of 8.5 metres, a draft of 2.14 metres and a gross tonnage of 385 tonnes. Oasis 40M is a fruit of collaboration between Benetti and UK-based design studio RWD, working in liaison with Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture, a New York-based firm commissioned to design the interiors. Tim Ciasulli, who himself holds 4 World Speed Records, expressed:I've been going fast my whole life. So when it came time to build a yacht, I wanted to collaborate with a shipyard that shared the same core values that my wife and I believe in: integrity, passion and accountability! <…> We expeditiously negotiated a great deal, and in just two meetings, nailed down the equipment, interior decor and colours…just the way we wanted!On-board Oasis 40M, the owner and his guests will enjoy wide, welcoming spaces characterised by a design that is both smart and sophisticated. The high ceilings, the special arrangement of the indoor and outdoor spaces, and the extensive glazed surfaces all contribute to this yacht's spectacular appearance, while the unusual layout features lateral stern platforms that can be open out with great ease to facilitate access to the sea and an extended beach area, complete with an infinity pool practically at water level.The designers strived to eliminate the barriers between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a unique setting akin to a loft on the water. Enrico Bonetti, architect and partner of Dominic Kozerski with Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture explains:On this yacht, we wanted the settings to have an unprecedented fluidity, which is why identical materials and colours are used for both the interiors and exteriors, giving a sense of apparent informality to what is in fact an extremely elegant and sophisticated yacht.The sale marks another success for Benetti in the Americas where, after the recent sales of FB278 67-metre custom build 'Project Fenestra', multiple award-winning 69-metre 'Spectre' and 49-metre custom yacht 'Eladrea+', the brand continues to forge ahead.Noteworthy, while the first Oasis 40M's fiberglass hull arrived for the start of outfitting operations at Benetti's Livorno shipyard on July 26, the owner of Giga yacht FB275, who is according to media sources an Australian billionaire and casino mogul James Packer, set sail on his 108-metre gigayacht in a perfectly synchronised handover.

The world's largest superyacht's construction is going under a tight schedule at the VARD shipyard in Tulcea, Romania. The 181-metre explorer REV will hit the water in Tulcea on August 22 for the first time, then within approximately 30 days being towed to the Brattvåg shipyard on the west coast of Norway for more construction work.REV has been commissioned by Norwegian ocean research company Rosellinis Four-10, owned by Norwegian industrialist billionaire Kjell Inge Roekke. His real-time net worth is estimated at $3.2 billion (Forbes).Built for environmental research missions in partnership with WWF Norway, the Research Expedition Vessel (REV) will also be available for charter for recreational purposes and expeditions. She will be able to accommodate up to 60 scientists and 30 crew during research expeditions once finished.REV is cincidered a significant project for all Norwegians, as Norway is one of a world-leading maritime nations and has the opportunitiy of taking on a global leadership role for exploring and taking care of the ocean. The Prime Minister of Norway supports the vision that 'oceans are under pressure due to climate change, overfishing and waste pollution. To ensure the future growth of the ocean economy, we need to harvest resources in a sustainable way'.Designed to operate in remote and vulnerable waters for long periods without additional external support, the ship will be equipped for research and investigation of the entire marine ecosystem. The superyacht disposes of a range of equipment designed to explore, document and collect. She will also qualify for the Polar Code adopted by The International Maritime Organisation for ships operating in Arctic and Antarctic conditions and can operate autonomously for 114 days. Thought-out by acclaimed desiner Espen Eino, REV is tailored for research and expedition activities. Her robust exterior lines and modern features ensure she is able to cruise in arctic and tropical areas alike, with a hull built to ICE PC6 for navigation in ice. Two helipads can host drones and helicopter, while overhead cranes can lift and launch equipment weighing up to 20T over the side. Her drop keels enable echo sounders and sonars to be placed in undisturbed water below the hull for research of the world's ecosystems, and built into her stern is a trawl hangar and pelagic trawling system.Built to the highest standards for both expeditions and recreational purposes the ship includes such features as a hospital with a medic cabin, High-tech equipment to monitor and survey marine areas, currents, the seabed, fish and plant life, while cutting-edge laboratory facilities enable on board analysis. There will be an auditorium for lectures, and the capacity for live streaming, also a Moonpool, an eco-harvesting system for live catch and release of biomass and pelagic samples, and an underwater hydrophone system for listening to ocean mammals.The giant vessel is scheduled for delivery in early 2021, aimed to surpass the current largest superyacht in the world in terms of LOA, the 180.6-metre Azzam. The official website reports, that REV is completed to 42.5 percent at the moment.

OceanX, ocean exploration initiative founded by billionaire philanthropist Ray Dalio, has launched a vote for the name of their newest explorer superyacht, the 85.3-metre Alucia 2. The explorer previously known as Volstad Surveyor and built in 2010 by Freire Shipyard is currently being rebuilt in Rotterdam. The superyacht will operate as a marine research vessel platform and continue the revolutionary work currently being done by Alucia, her older and smaller predecessor. Equipped with two manned subs that can take researchers 1,000 metres deep, a fleet of support ships, an on-board helicopter, and fully equipped science labs, Alucia can bring back fantastic discoveries.Meanwhile, Alucia2 has been commissioned by Ray Dalio who together with OceanX aims to further explore the secrets of the ocean together with director James Cameron and BBC's Blue Planet. The design concept was created by Gresham Yacht Design.Steve Gresham, founder and principal designer at Gresham Yacht Design, said earlier:We are thrilled to be a part of such an exciting and unique project. These types of projects are rare to come by and we are honoured to have been commissioned by the owner to deliver a design that is extremely functional and robust, it is a true explorer vessel.Built by Freire as a deep-sea survey vessel in 2010, Alucia2 is undergoing transformation into a high-tech scientific research vessel, with significant improvements made to enable the OceanX team explore further than ever before.To take on global expeditions, Alucia2 will be fitted with state-of-the-art marine research labs, cutting-edge media equipment, manned and autonomous deep-sea submersibles, helicopters and drones.OceanX will use Alucia2 as a next generation platform to discover 70 per cent of the planet that remains mostly unexplored and share this secret world through carefully executed media centre developed in consultation with filmmaker and ocean explorer James Cameron.The vessel features a 40-ton A-frame at the stern designed specifically to deploy the two submersibles that can dive to depths beyond 3,000 feet for up to eight hours. Underwater discoveries will be analysed in the state-of-the-art dry and wet labs on board, while Alucia 2's media studio will be able to document and broadcast the ground-breaking discoveries in ultra high-definition around the world.James Cameron stated:With OceanX and Alucia2, we will reignite global passion for and curiosity about the ocean in our global, digitally-connected age.Once delivered, Alucia2 will replace the 55.7-metre Alucia, which is currently for sale through Fraser for $19,750,000. In the meantime, American residents are invited to select from a list of six names and vote for the explorer's name. The list comprises the names Oceanus, Neptune, OceanXplorer, Audacious etc.The vote is set to be a part of promotional campaign ahead of the release of a new six-part ocean documentary series. The series will premiere in the USA on September 2, bringing together an all-star team including National Geographic, BBC Studios and James Cameron along with Dalio Philanthropies' OceanX. y begun a major refit with a delivery expected in early 2019. Once delivered, it will replace the owner's existing vessel 55.7-metre Alucia, which is currently for sale through Fraser for $19,750,000 and owned by Ray Dalio.

Dutch shipyard Icon Yachts has shared new photos of the 68.2-metre explorer superyacht Project Ragnar making progress in Harlingen. The vessel that had been initially built as an icebreaker called Sanaborg, entered the Icon shed in July 2017 for an extreme make-over.Built in 2012 from a steel hull, Sanaborgis is undergoing dramatic refit with interior and exterior styling by British design studio RWD. Her delivery is due later this year.The vessel's owner is excited about her new style that was inspired by medieval war craftsmanship, combined with modern sleek lines and British heritage. She will be one of the few explorer superyachts with a certified ICE Class A1 super hull. Project Ragnar is LY3 classed with arctic explorer capabilities, full ice breaking functionality with its unique ICE class PC5 rated electric driven ice pods, giving the vessel its range of 6,000 nautical miles meaning she can go to the most remote areas of the planet.The yacht will offer accommodation for up to 16 guests across 8 cabins, including two owner's suites. During the conversion, several tanks need to be removed and converted into superyacht spa area complete with massage room and snow room. Project Ragnar also has a ski storage for ski gear, a boot room, 1 swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. What is more, the 68-metre conversion project is set to be one of the best-equipped explorer superyachts on the water. At her aft toy storage areas, Ragnar will have options for a Luxury Ripsaw EV2, Eurocopter EC145 helicopter, two 8-metre tenders, a sea explorer submarine, two laser sailing boats on board and much more. Icon Yachts is particularly famous in the yachting world for their refit and conversion projects. Recently, the yard has converted a martime school vessel into a superyacht and relaunched the 1914 vintage yacht Tirrenia II and 60-metre CRN Ramble on Rose after refits.Photos via Icon Yachts

Dutch builder Moonen Yachts has declared it has entered into a new ownership, just a month after filing for bankruptcy protection with the Dutch court. The new owners of the yard are an Australian couple, Matthew and Louise Baxter. Matthew, of Scottish origin, is a successful Australian businessman and entrepreneur, who in 1972 established the A M Group, a privately owned worldwide group of manufacturing companies of which he is executive chairman.For several years, Moonen Shipyards was entirely owned by Mexico's largest steel manufacturer Altos Hornos de México (AHMSA). During that period several yachts were delivered and business ran well at Moonen, thanks to the financial support of AHMSA. The situation changed last May, when Mr. Ancira, the chairman of AMHSA, was arrested on the Spanish island of Mallorca, accused of bribery. Consequentially, AHMSA's bank accounts got frozen, including the one from Moonen. Some of the accounts were unfrozen after a while, but the money tap for the shipyard remained closed. The lack of financial support to pay wages and settle the required payments on the building of Project YN199 on speculation, led Moonen to declare bankruptcy.The setuation with AMSHA reflected in substantial financial instability of the yard in the past. When in 2015 the steel prices dropped dramatically, Moonen was filed for suspension of payment for a longer period of time. To avoid such an insecure period again, the management of Moonen was already looking for a new investor. In fact, the investor has been found and conversations were at an advanced stage in order to proceed a normal takeover of the shares. Due to the arrest of Mr. Ancira and the loss of cash flow, it was necessary to speed up the process with the intended shareholder, and try to avoid a bankruptcy. However, there was hardly any communication possible with the shareholder and finally Moonen Shipyards was no longer able to meet its obligations towards personnel and suppliers thus bankruptcy followed on the 11th of July.Still, the bankruptcy has cleared the road for the new Moonen in a way, as the proposed investor shared his wish to fully disconnect from AHMSA after the situation occurred last May. What the bankruptsy has relieved the new stakeholders of the responsibility to pay off Moonen's debts.Louise and Matthew Baxter first discovered Moonen Yachts whilst sailing on Pittwater harbour in Sydney where they came across Moonen 84 Aurora. That lead to their involvement with Moonen.Mr Baxter, who also remains executive chairman of the A M Group, said:It is a privilege to own a yard like Moonen. The brand has an impeccable pedigree, the yachts are true Dutch quality and the team is young, reliable, talented and very loyal to the company. These characteristics are fundamental for success.The shipyard is very honoured and excited with Mr & Mrs. Baxter as their new owners. Moonen's CEO Johan Dubbelman highlights:We have trust in these new investors and have faith that they will establish a strong future for Moonen Yachts. The 30 to 50 metre market is solid for well-built designs, and our plans are to increase production. Currently we have one, award winning, 36-metre Martinique in build, she's 50% ready. The focus is to have her on display at the Monaco Yacht Show 2020.The company aims at scaling up production efficiently and starting two new build projects in the upcoming 6 months, he said. Following on with the current build we will start a second 36 metre and a 44 metre, both new and future proof timeless Moonen yachts with interiors designed by the award winning renowned design houses, like Studio Indigo. By building on speculation, delivery times will be shorter and customisation still possible, which is an absolute advantage for our future clients.The yard reports, the majority of the staff and workforce have been reappointed and are enthusiastic to be part of a strong new leadership. To assure continuous high-end quality, Moonen Yachts is going to reinforce the cooperation with long-term strategic partners and subcontractors.

Members of the 57th Game Warden class graduated in ceremonies at 9 a.m. Wednesday in the House of Representatives chamber at the Capitol in Austin. Featured speaker at the event was Amando Fernandez, FBI special agent in charge of the San Antonio division. Fernandez told the class that he keeps on the wall of his office in San Antonio a framed copy of a line from Irish philosopher Edmund Burke: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" and urged the new state law enforcement officers to always keep those words in mind as they proceed with their career. The new game wardens will be reporting for duty at stations spanning the state from East Texas to El Paso. While the primary duty of state game wardens is to enforce hunting and fishing laws and water safety regulations, they are fully commissioned peace officers who also respond to natural disasters, assist other local and state law enforcement agencies as well as conducting public outreach on a variety of conservation-related topics. "State game wardens are the primary law enforcement off the pavement in Texas," said Major Danny Shaw, director of training at the academy. "We do a lot more for the people of Texas than enforcing game and fish laws." The new game wardens received 618 hours of instruction to meet the state- mandated training requirements for their basic peace officer certification including criminal and constitutional law; firearms; self defense; use of force; defensive driving; arrest, search and seizure; ethics, and first aid. They received another 700 to 750 hours of training related to wildlife and fisheries enforcement, the Texas Water Safety Act, wildlife and fisheries identification, public relations and communications, boat operation, ATV operation, and specialized patrol tactics. The new wardens also have become certified hunter education and boater education instructors. The 40 new wardens will bring TPWD's Law Enforcement Division to its authorized strength of 532 game wardens, a group of men and women who are carrying on a tradition of service to Texas that dates back to 1895. These are the new game wardens, their home town, and the counties in which they will be stationed: --Kyle D.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [TH] Aug. 29, 2012 Covering Texas Conservation History -- Resources for News Media Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has posted on its website a trove of historic photos, magazine articles, and research reports that yield a fascinating look at hunting, fishing and fish and wildlife conservation in the early to mid-1900s. For those willing to look back, these show how things have changed, but also how many of the same pressing issues are still with us today. On the department's web home page, click the little News link in the middle of the page. Then on the left click News Roundups, then select the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration link. Here'll you find a narrative story or news release at the top, followed by links to historic photos and documents. All this material was posted to help writers cover the 75th Anniversary of WSFR in 2013. This vital federal funding source has paid for almost every important conservation achievement in Texas, starting in 1937, when Congress passed the Pittman-Robertson Federal Aid to Wildlife Restoration Act. The law levies an 11 percent excise tax on rifles, shotguns, ammunition and archery equipment and a 10 percent tax on handguns. In 1950, Congress passed the Dingell-Johnson Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act, mandating a similar excise tax on fishing rods and related equipment. On the News Roundup web page, note the 1940s and 50s articles from Texas Fish and Game Magazine, precursor to today's Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine. Stories here about pronghorn, quail and Black Gap Wildlife Management Area reflect the earliest use of federal aid dollars in Texas. Below the magazine articles, you'll see wildlife restoration reports. Files like "1938-1953 Wildlife Restoration Spending By Species" reveal how Texas first used what was then a brand new federal funding source. The file "1945-1953 WMA Land Acquisitions" shows early use of WSFR dollars to buy land to create WMAs, which provide settings for wildlife research, hunting, birding and the like. The News Images link offers photos of Sierra Diablo, Texas' first WMA, plus images showing early pronghorn and deer restoration work and other topics. These online resources are the tip of the iceberg. At TPWD headquarters, we've assembled more than 2,000 pages of historic reports from the Texas State Archives. The Wildlife Division also has cabinets full of early reports, some featuring original 8"x10" black and white photos, maps and charts. Look through this, and you'll find people who did the early spade work to bring back fish and game in our state, some of whom have been called conservation heroes. One example is Dan Lay, one of the earliest Wildlife Restoration Program leaders in Texas, author of two magazine articles mentioned above, and of the award-winning book Land of Bears and Honey. (See the Texas Legacy Project entry about Dan at http://www.texaslegacy.org/bb/narrators/laydan.html). For help with any of this, feel free to contact Mike Cox, firstname.lastname@example.com, or (512) 389-8046 or Tom Harvey, firstname.lastname@example.com, (512) 389-4453. They encourage you to find a way to cover the 75th Anniversary of WSFR this fall, to shed light on our past, and to make sure current generations understand the role of hunters, anglers and boaters in keeping our outdoor heritage alive. --- On the Net: News Roundup: http://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/releases/news_roundup/wildlife_and_sport_fish_restoration/ -30-

For Victor Perez, an unemployed Fresno, Calif., construction worker, alertness paid off. On Tuesday morning Mr. Perez saw a news report about a girl kidnapped by someone in a red and white pickup truck Monday afternoon. When he left his home later that day, he saw a truck like the one in the news report and decided to follow it.
"I just took that chance to follow the truck and told my cousin to dial 911, while I gave chase, and just to make sure if it wasn't him," Perez told "The Early Show" on CBS Wednesday morning.
Convinced that the truck was the one police were looking for, he used his car to cut off the truck.
"The second time I cut him off, the little girl stuck her head out, and that's when I said, 'OK, that ain't your girl right there,' " said Perez.
The man driving the truck eventually stopped and pushed the girl out onto the street, and Perez got out and stayed with her until police arrived. She was later returned to her mother, 12 hours after being abducted.
Eventually, police found the truck behind an apartment complex and arrested Gregorio Gonzalez, a gang member out on probation for felony domestic assault.
"I just felt like I was doing my part living in the same neighborhood as the little girl," Perez said. "I just felt like everybody should step up in their own communities and, when something like this happens, come together and try to do your part to help out."
Perez has been offered full-time jobs for his display of character, and will be honored in an on-field ceremony Saturday at Fresno State University's football game with Hawaii.

It's not even like the regular lottery where the result is random. In the "Instant Win" games the outcome is entirely known the moment you click Buy and your interaction with the game makes no difference at all. As you interact with the game you are literally wasting your time (and money).
Here, for example, is the game Winning 7's which involves being presented with a board with 25 squares on it from which you choose 16. The more 7's you uncover the higher your prize.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?> <ticket> <outcome prizeTier="14" amount="0.00"/> <params wT="0" /> <turn n="8" wP="0" /> <turn n="7" wP="0" /> <turn n="5" wP="0" /> <turn n="1" wP="0" /> <turn n="3" wP="0" /> <turn n="5" wP="0" /> <turn n="2" wP="0" /> <turn n="7" wP="0" /> <turn n="5" wP="0" /> <turn n="7" wP="0" /> <turn n="9" wP="0" /> <turn n="4" wP="0" /> <turn n="5" wP="0" /> <turn n="6" wP="0" /> <turn n="7" wP="0" /> <turn n="3" wP="0" /> </ticket>On that go I was destined to receive £0.00 and have the numbers 8, 7, 5, 1, 3, 5, 2, 7, 5, 7, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7 revealed in that order no matter where I clicked. Imagine my surprise on my first click:
The same is true of every other game I looked at. And some take a long time to "play". Some even emulating shuffling or randomization.
In the end, it was soul destroying to think that people play these games. It's all a cruel trick. At least the lottery is clear: the chance of your numbers coming up is really, really, really small. Here there's the illusion that you are participating in some way.

Milled with the utmost care, Fragonard professional oils specifically utilize mono-pigments, a single pigment per color, wherever possible. This allows the artist the widest range of color mixing potential, retaining hue purity and intensity.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
Pigment PY74 is one of the most commercially important pigments of the Hansa Yellow group, considered superior to many others in its class based on both tinting strength and lightfastness. Several PY74 grades with different particle sizes are available. Grades with finer particle size are more brilliant and transparent. Pigment PY74 ranges from reddish yellow to greenish yellow, with temperature shifts from cool to warm hues. It has high tinting strength and average to slow drying time.
This Hansa Yellow has better lightfastness that other yellow monoazo pigments, particularly in the darker shades.
Hansa Yellow has no significant acute hazards, though its chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow.

Ivory Black is a cool, semi-transparent blue-black with a slight brownish undertone and average tinting strength. It mixes well with any color, and creates a range of dull greens when mixed with yellow. It has good properties for use in oil, can be slow to dry in oil form, and should never be used in underpainting or frescoing. Ivory Black is denser than Lamp Black.
Ivory Black is very lightfast and has good permanence, though it is considered the least permanent of the major black pigments.
Ivory Black has no significant hazards.
Ivory Black is a carbon based black first named as Elephantium, and described in the 4th century BCE as produced by heating ivory scraps in clay pots to reduce the ivory or bone to charcoal. The deviation in names is because the more expensive varieties of this pigment were made by burning ivory, and the less expensive ones by burning animal bone. In the 19th century, the name Ivory Black was finally permitted to be applied to Carbon Black pigments made from bone. True Ivory Black is rare in modern times due to the protection of ivory, and the synthetic variety produced today was discovered in 1929. Bone Black is produced as an industrial pigment.

Mars Orange is a bright, extremely light red and appears almost pinkish in contrast with darker colors. It has incredible tinting strength and opacity. The synthetic form of Mars Orange is made from iron oxides and is cleaner, brighter, and denser than its ochre-based counterparts.
Mars Orange has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Mars Orange has no significant hazards.
The word Mars refers to the Roman god of iron and war. Mars Orange has been manufactured as a pigment since the 17th century.
hydrated iron oxide
α-FeO3+(OH) or Fe2O3 × MnO2
Raw Umber is a cool, transparent brown ranging from yellowish brown to greenish brown. It has surprisingly good tinting strength, a high level of opacity, mixes well with greens, and is quick drying in oil form. It has excellent color properties and can create a variety of subtle, clear tints when mixed with white. It grays when mixed with blue and white. Raw Umber can tend towards chalkiness in dark mixes in oil form.
Raw Umber has excellent permanence.
Raw Umber itself is considered non-toxic. If contaminated by manganese compounds, it may be highly toxic if inhaled and moderately toxic if ingested.
This pigment gets its name from the Latin word umbra, meaning shadow or shade. Its full name is listed as terra di ombra, meaning earth of shadow/shade, due to its original extraction from the area of Umbria, Italy. It has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times. Currently, the finest umber comes from Cyprus.
Chestnut Brown, Euchrome, Jacaranta Brown, Mars Brown, Raw Brown, Sicilian Brown. Cyprus Umber, Turkey Brown, and Turkey Umber are the best quality umbers.

What is an MPI "eager limit"?
Technically speaking, the MPI standard does not define anything called an "eager limit."
An "eager limit" is term used to describe a method of sending short messages used by many MPI implementations. That is, it's an implementation technique — it's not part of the MPI standard at all. And since it's not standardized, it also tends to be different in each MPI implementation. More specifically: if you write your MPI code to rely on a specific implementation's "eager limit" behavior, your code may not perform well (or may even deadlock!) with other MPI implementations.
So — what exactly is an "eager limit"?
MPI implementations typically use (at least) two algorithms for sending messages between peer processes:
- Eager: messages, including MPI match data, are sent as soon as possible. Typically used for "short" messages.
- Rendezvous: a class of protocols based on "request to send" / "clear to send" (RTS/CTS) techniques. Typically used for "long" messages.
CTS/RTS protocols are based on the idea that the sender sends the MPI match information to the receiver (i.e., the RTS). Once the receiver decides that it wants to receive the message, it sends back "ok, you can send now" (i.e., the CTS). The sender then transfers the bulk of the message payload to the receiver.
"Eager" messages typically avoid this CTS/RTS round-trip overhead by just sending immediately, with little or no permission from the receiver. As such, eager protocols are useful when latency is important. For example, send a 4-byte MPI message eagerly across InfiniBand can take about 1.5us. If we add in a round-trip CTS/RTS to that cost, the total would be 4.5us. Ouch!
Rendezvous protocols are typically used whem resource consumption — not latency — is important. For example, if a sender sends a 10MB message to a receiver, the receiver might not want to actually get the message until the application has posted a corresponding MPI_RECV, meaning that there is now a buffer available to receive that 10MB message.
Conversely, if sender sender sent the 10MB message eagerly, the receiver might have to a) allocate a temporary 10MB buffer to hold it, and b) copy the message to the target buffer when the corresponding MPI_RECV gets posted. Double ouch!
My next blog entry will talk about how Open MPI uses eager and rendezvous protocols.

text: 26 Mar 2015 09:30 WCA, the world's largest and most powerful network of independent freight forwarders, with over 5,700 member offices based in 191 countries around the world, has announced its annual WCA Global Conference in 2016 will be held in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Expected to attract attendance of around 2,500 freight forwarder delegates, the event will be held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) between 10th and 16th March 2016.Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, Acting Chief Executive Officer at ADNEC said "The WCA event will prove a significant value addition to ADNEC's conference portfolio and we are committed to providing all necessary support to ensure the success of this key global event. ADNEC's latest strategy places significant emphasis on the conference aspect of our business. To deliver this objective, we are proactively developing our industry network and bringing in a larger canvas of world-class conferences to the capital city of Abu Dhabi."Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the UAE, has been the Official Cargo Airline Partner for the WCA conference for the last four years, and has played a key role in supporting the organisers in their decision to bring the conference to its home base of Abu Dhabi.David Kerr, Vice President of Etihad Cargo, said: "We are proud to see this global industry networking conference coming to our home base in Abu Dhabi, and look forward to working closely with ADNEC and other event partners to ensure the many thousands of delegates who will visit the conference are provided with a tremendous experience."We have worked closely alongside the WCA for the past four years and it has been a beneficial partnership as we have grown our cargo operations considerably during that time, with their close knowledge of local markets in key markets around the world proving invaluable."WCA President, David Yokeum, added: "We are delighted to bring the WCA Conference Week to the Middle East for the first time. This event is now firmly established as the premier networking and business-generating opportunity for independent freight forwarders and provides a platform for tens of millions of dollars of new business."Thanks to the innovation and dedication of the Etihad Cargo management, we have jointly established a number of highly successful programs that are already proving hugely beneficial to both Etihad Cargo and our global membership of over 5,700 freight forwarder offices around the world."Etihad Cargo's total uplift during the past year exceeded 570,000 tonnes, a 17 per cent increase on 2013. The division secured over US$1.1 billion in revenue and was a strong supporting factor to the aviation group's activities during the year.The cargo division operates a fleet of 10 freighter aircraft that provide main deck capacity to 13 freighter-only destinations that include cities such as Bogota, Chittagong, Djibouti, Dubai World Central, Eldoret, Guangzhou, Hanoi, Houston, Kabul, Miami, Quito, Sharjah and Viracopos.Etihad Cargo also enhanced its global reach during 2014 by offering lower deck capacity on 10 new passenger destinations launched across Etihad Airways' fast growing global network. These included destinations such as Medina in Saudi Arabia, Jaipur in India, Zurich in Switzerland, Yerevan in Armenia, Rome in Italy, Perth in Australia, Phuket in Thailand plus LA, Dallas and San Francisco in the USA, bringing to nearly 100, the total number of passenger destinations on which cargo services are currently provided.Additional lower deck capacity added during 2015 includes Kolkata, which launched on the 15 February, with further passenger destinations scheduled to be launched during the year including Madrid, Edinburgh, Tbilisi, Baku, Hong Kong, Entebbe and Dar es Salaam.

We sure do! Our gardens are a flurry of avian activity! Sparrows, finches, blackbirds, chickadees…the list goes on. Our most colorful visitors so far this spring have been the Evening Grosbeaks. They are a beautiful bird, don't you think? And we have had at least 50 feeding regularly at our many feeding stations.
The gardens of the Old Parkdale Inn Bed and Breakfast have been recognized as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Foundation. That is we provide feed, water, shelter and nesting provisions for the many species of birds that visit our gardens. One day last spring in just about a half hours time I identified 21 species of birds! I invite you to come sit in a secluded nook of our garden and watch the activities!

Let's End Killing of Rare Wild Donkeys(Karpaz) and Foxes(Kyrenia), + TURTLES of North Cyprus!
This petition had 2,010 supporters
We live in ONE WORLD. This is OUR WORLD. This is OUR LITTLE PLANET EARTH. And Cyprus' Animals are your Animals too! Cyprus' Nature and Oxygen is yours too. Please support my campaign to change and preserve our rare animals. Because A LOT OF ISLAND ANIMALS was EXTINCT in NORTH CYPRUS, many years ago. And they were really lovely animals of island - And now WE CANNOT SEE THEM LIVE. Only we can imagine them. We should sign this petition, in order to support Donkeys,Foxes, and Turtles of North Cyprus. If we change somethings, they will not share the same destiny with extinct animals. Due to Biologists in North Cyprus, many animals were extinct and today's animals are close to extinction!
There are some environmental problems which are so crucial for the wild life of Cyprus. Those problems are slaughters caused by some people in the island. At the moment Northern Cyprus has very rare population of Feral Donkeys and Mediterranean Foxes. By Time they have come close to the extinction. These animals are special to Cyprus' hills.
Especially those feral donkeys(which are different and unique) are only found in Northern Cyprus, Karpaz area. Karpaz is national park at the moment but donkeys are killed, poisoned, moved by some people because of agriculture. And Foxes, which are positioned at Kyrenia's mountains were lessened alot by time. Its almost impossible to see them at nature, but some exists. If they end, one species will totally disappear in island because of poisoning. Again because of agriculture facilities, foxes are Killed by poisoning(not to attack poultry animals and etc.) and usually some Dogs eat those poisoned meats too. Then Dogs usually get sick or die also like Foxes.
Let's Come Together and Stop Excommunication, Killing, Poisoning of Wild Donkeys and very rare Island's Foxes in Northern Cyprus. We need these animals in our nature. Because they are very important part of our ecological balance. WE should prevent our nature getting so dark without any wild life and activity. Already green nature feels pain because of getting disappeared in Island by time. Lets save those wildlife's beauties(Wild Donkeys,Foxes) from extinction - that is because of love to some Income and Agriculture(Which those usually destroys our planet world)...
ANIMAL ALERT... ANIMAL ALERT... ANIMAL ALERT... There's a news about Cyprus' Fragile Animals. Turtles of Mediterranean Sea(Caretta Caretta) are unconsciously killed by human activities themselves and their vehicles at beaches in the towns, villages, places around city Kyrenia.

The Kremlin is breaking out in laughter over the response by President Obama and members of his administration to Russia's moves in the Ukraine, charged former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton in a radio interview Sunday.
Stated Bolton: "When you hear President Obama or members of his administration call on outsiders to leave the resolution of the problem of Ukraine to the Ukrainians themselves, they must break out laughing at that in the Kremlin."
Advertisement - story continues below
"They are never going to sit back and let that happen. And that's what you see happening right now," he said.
Bolton was speaking on Aaron Klein's WABC Radio show in New York.
The diplomat warned "the whole world is watching."
He continued: "If [Russian President Vladimir] Putin prevails in Ukraine, it sends a signal to all the republics of the former Soviet Union, and it sends a signal worldwide that under Obama American power and will are in decline."
Advertisement - story continues below
Bolton said Russia is using the crisis in Ukraine to assert itself internationally and re-establish its stronghold over former Soviet satellites.
"And [Putin] faces a weak, feckless Obama administration and a weak and disorganized European Union, which has made Western Europe less than the sum of its parts," Bolton said.
Earlier today, there were reports hundreds of armed men believed to be from the Russian military surrounded a military base in Ukraine. This followed other reports, first denied by Russia, that Russian agents seized one or two airports in the Crimea region.
Russian troops are now said to control key parts of the Crimean Peninsula.

In response to the moves, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said today Russia may be booted from the G-8 unless it retreats from Ukraine.
The White House said Obama called Putin yesterday to express "deep concern over Russia's clear violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity, which is a breach of international law."

I wouldn't know. I have never smelled vintage Coca Cola. But I don't get vanilla nor baby powder. Are you sure you didn't get X for Women by accident?
I just bought a 50ml of clive christian X for men, I thought it smelled amazing. The only thing though, is that it smells almost like vanilla coke to me. Maybe its the way my skin chemistry works? (i naturally smell vanilla-y / baby powdery...) But its a really nice smell though, as if its a super-high end super sexy bottle of spicy vanilla coke with all organic rare exotic ingredients with some pure cocaine (like they had it in coke in the old days...) lol~
Does anyone else get the same vibe / smell from this or is it just me?

Hm....just checked. it is indeed X for men. I guess its just my skin chemistry then, haha. well at least it smells good and I've got a very unique scent!
It's a great fragrance IMO and glad I own it.
Ha! Yes - very expensive stale coke that dries leaving a trace of oakmoss and (probably expensive) musk.
Though I still like it.
Though if you let it dry on glass - rather than on skin - you're left with a lovely tobacco accord.

I have it on right now and it smells nothing like coca cola to me. It is warm peppery/cinnamon/vanilla/amber scent. Nothing bubbly or sugary about it.
I love this one...especially the dry down. I'm not getting a vintage coke vibe from this fragrance either.

Cappie Pondexter had 21 points and a career-high 12 rebounds, Plenette Pierson scored 17 points, and the Liberty rallied to beat the Sparks 73-71 yesterday in Newark.
Essence Carson scored 14 points, including 11 during a 21-3 run in the third quarter that gave the Liberty (12-17) the lead after they trailed by 14 points. The Liberty also trailed by 15 points in the first half.
"We fought hard," said Pondexter, who also had eight assists. "At one point we were down almost 16 points. I told the guys at halftime that if we fight back and be victorious, it's going to feel even better than [just] winning."
Coupled with Chicago's 82-77 loss at Connecticut, the Liberty moved a half-game ahead of Chicago for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Liberty have five games remaining — at home against Washington on Wednesday, followed by road games against the Mystics, San Antonio and Tulsa, and a home date against the Shock in the season finale on Sept. 22.
"We've got to play like we have to win every game," Liberty coach John Whisenant said. "If we get into the playoffs with a three-game series and we play as hard as we did tonight, there won't be anybody more athletically gifted like we played tonight."
Kristi Toliver scored 17 points, Candace Parker had 14 points and 15 rebounds, and rookie Nneka Ogwumike added 13 points for the Sparks (20-10). Los Angeles, which has lost four of its last five, remained two games ahead of San Antonio for second place in the West. The Silver Stars lost 81-62 to Minnesota earlier yesterday.
Carson's 3-pointer tied the score at 70-all with 48 seconds remaining, and Pondexter made two free throws about 26 seconds later to put the Liberty ahead.
Ebony Hoffman made 1 of 2 free throws for Los Angeles with 15 seconds remaining. On the ensuing inbounds play, the Sparks double-teamed Pondexter and tied her up when she received the pass near half-court, forcing a jump ball between her and the Sparks' DeLisha Milton-Jones.
The Sparks grabbed the tipped ball and called timeout. Toliver then missed a 3 with about 5 seconds remaining, Pondexter corralled the loose ball, was fouled and made 1 of 2 from the line. She missed the second free throw, Parker got the ball and when she dribbled it was knocked away by Pondexter as time expired. After a lengthy video review, the officials ruled there was no time remaining when the ball went out of bounds.
"We didn't play very well in the second half," Toliver said. "It is something we are trying to battle through. We are continuing to learn lessons on the road. Hopefully we can learn, grow, and get better for the playoffs."
After trailing by 15 in the second quarter, the Liberty cut the deficit to 48-36 at halftime. The Liberty then outscored the Sparks 23-7 in the third to take the lead.
"It shows our hard work and dedication and our fight," Pondexter said. "We displayed that especially in the third quarter. We had so much energy. We held them to seven points … We did a great job containing Candace [Parker] and I credit that to our defensive players."
Ogwumike made 1 of 2 free throws and had a three-point play to give the Sparks a 52-38 lead with about 8½ minutes remaining in the third quarter.
The Liberty then went on their big run to take a four-point lead into the fourth, with Carson's jumper with 1:38 left in the period tying the score 55-all and her go-ahead basket 53 seconds later giving New York its first lead of the game.
"Our team played with great effort and intensity, even though in the first couple of quarters we broke down defensively and gave up some easy baskets," Whisenant said. "I told them at halftime to just keep plugging and doing what you're doing and let's not make these mistakes. … The defense got us back in the game. We all played hard and played together."
Toliver's free throw with 9:38 left in the fourth — Los Angeles' first points since her 3 with 6:28 to go in the third — pulled the Sparks to 59-56.
Braxton made a layup and Pondexter hit a jumper to put New York up seven — it's largest advantage — — with 8 1/2 minutes remaining.
The Sparks scored the next 11 points, with April Sykes' 3 putting them back ahead and Parker's turnaround jumper extending the lead to 67-63 with 5:11 remaining.
Vaughn's jumper 17 seconds later pulled the Liberty within two, and neither team scored for nearly 3 minutes until Vaughn's layup tied the score with 2:01 left.
Toliver hit a 3 to put the Sparks ahead 17 seconds later. After Pierson turned the ball over on the Liberty's ensuing possession, Parker was called for travelling while driving to the basket on the other end.

Zinc White is the coolest white, and it has a cold, clean masstone and a slightly bluish tint. It has less hiding power and is more transparent than other whites. It dries slowly and is good for painting wet into wet and for glazing and scumbling. Zinc White is neither as opaque nor as heavy as Lead White, its covering power is not as good, and it takes much longer to dry. However, it does not blacken when exposed to sulfur in the air as Lead White does. It is very valuable for making tints with other colors. Unmixed Zinc White dries to a brittle and dry paint film that may crack over the years, so it is not good for frescoing. It is more transparent in acrylic form than Titanium White and is the most commonly used white with gouache. Chinese White is a version of Zinc White appropriate for opaque watercolor techniques.
Zinc White has great permanence and lightfastness.
Zinc White is moderately toxic if ingested and slightly toxic if inhaled.
Though historians are divided on who first isolated the element zinc, they agree that it was first suggested as a white pigment in 1782. Zinc White was accepted as a watercolor in 1834 and was called Chinese White due to the popularity of oriental porcelain in Europe at the time. Ten years later, a suitable oil form was produced. By the early 20th century, it had improved to the point where it was an acceptable alternative to Flake White.
Chinese White, French White, Permanent White, Silver White, Snow White, Zinc Oxide.
complex silicate of sodium and aluminum with sulfur
Na8-10Al6Si6O24S2-4 or Na6-8Al6Si6O24S2-4
Ultramarine is the standard warm blue, a brilliant blue pigment that has the most purple and least green in its undertone. It has a moderate to high tinting strength and a beautiful transparency. Synthetic Ultramarine is not as vivid a blue as natural Ultramarine. Ultramarine dries slowly in oil and tends to produce clean, though granular, washes in watercolor. French Ultramarine mixes well with Alizarin colors in oil and watercolor form to create a range of purples and violets. It can dull when mixed with white in acrylic form, but mixes well with other colors. The shade varies based on manufacturer. Considered a great color for glazes, it is not suitable for frescoing.
Ultramarine has excellent permanence, although synthetic Ultramarine is not as permanent as natural Ultramarine. It may discolor if exposed to acid because of its sulfuric content.
Ultramarine has no significant hazards.
The name for this pigment comes from the Middle Latin ultra, meaning beyond, and mare, meaning sea, because it was imported from Asia to Europe by sea. It is a prominent component of lapis lazuli and was used on Asian temples starting in the 6th century. It was one of the most expensive pigments in 16th century Europe, worth twice its weight in gold, and so was used sparingly and when commissions were larger. Ultramarine is currently imitated by a process invented in France in 1826 by Jean Baptiste Guimet, making blue affordable to artists and extending the range of colors on their palettes.
Artificial Ultramarine, French Blue, French Ultramarine, Gmelin's Blue, Guimet's Blue, Permanent Blue, Royal Blue, Synthetic Ultramarine. New Blue describes particular shades of Ultramarine. Armenian Blue and Lazuline Blue are names for genuine Lapiz Ultramarine. Sky Blue is a pale tone of Ultramarine.
organic, quinacridone
Quinacridone Magenta is a semi-transparent and powerful bluish red with an impressive mixing range. It makes an excellent glazing color and is one of the bluest of the Quinacridone colors. The pigment's properties vary considerably, depending on how it is ground. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Magenta offers very good lightfastness in most media, but some have argued that it is less lightfast in watercolor form. Although Quinacridone Magenta received only a passing grade of "fair" under ASTM test protocols, other test results have rated the pigment very good to excellent. Transparent reddish violet pigments in general have more problems with lightfastness than any other range of colors. PR122 is often used as the Magenta of CMYK (four color) process printing because it offers a better tradeoff between tinting strength and lightfastness than other pigments in its class.
Quinacridone Magenta has no acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
Quinacridone Magenta came from a red violet aniline dye that was first produced in 1858 by Natanson. It was called Magenta to commemorate a battle in Magenta, Italy. Over time, Magenta became the standard color name for a deep, violet red. Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. PR122 has become particularly popular in the formulation of Magenta for CMYK process printing.
Acra Red, Quinacridone Violet (PV19), Thalo Red Rose.
carbazole dioxazine
Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark valued when it is used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in red shade, blue shade, and so forth.
Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.
Dioxazine Purple, Chromothal Violet, Mauve, Carbazole Violet.

- Further information
Lindsay Bernard Hall was born at Liverpool, England, in 1859 and studied at the Royal College of Art in London and at the Antwerp and Munich Academies. He arrived in Melbourne in 1892.
Hall was appointed Director of the National Gallery of Victoria and its Art School, where he continued the Munich traditions established there by his predecessors George Follingsby and Eugen von Guérard.
His purchases for the Gallery under the terms of the Felton Bequest were both liberal and perceptive and included the masterpiece 'Boulevard Montmartre, Morning, Cloudy Weather' by Pissarro, selected from an exhibition of the artist's work held at London's Grafton Galleries in 1905.
In his own practice, Hall's preferred subjects were nudes, still lifes and interiors, of which his home provided numerous views for the artist to paint. A similar painting, which also shows the distinctive mirror hanging on the wall in 'Chez-moi', is in the collection of the University of Melbourne, titled 'Dining room interior', and dated circa 1910-19.
Hall was a member of the Victorian Artists' Society and regular exhibitor at the Society from 1893.
Bernard Hall died in England in 1935.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 16 (UPI) -- Marlon Byrd hit a two-run double in the eighth inning Thursday to help the New York Mets defeat the San Diego Padres 4-1.
Byrd's hit allowed Mike Baxter and Daniel Murphy to score, and one inning later John Buck's solo homer sealed the win at Petco Park.
Josh Satin contributed two hits and an RBI, and Murphy scored two runs for the Mets, who ended a three-game losing streak.
Scott Atchison (3-1) earned the win after a perfect inning in relief and Gonzalez Germen recorded his first career save after a pair of scoreless innings.
Mets starter Zack Wheeler gave up one run on seven hits while striking out a career-high 12 batters over six innings.
Luke Gregerson (5-7) was saddled with the loss after giving up Byrd's double.

Photo Identification
As you can see from reading the post below, I have stumbled onto a little mystery. The photos in question may not be of the same person, but my search through my mother's old photo albums has made me realize how many pictures I have inherited in which I do not know some or all of the people. In the past I have enlisted my cousins' help in identifying some other old photos through a group e-mail. I have decided to simplify the process by creating a special photo album on my Facebook page (starting with the photos below) that will eventually have all of my "mystery photographs." Several of my cousins are on Facebook, so I am hoping to get some good results from this ... or drive my cousins as crazy as these mystery photographs are driving me!
2 comments:
Have you also posted copies over at Dead Fred (http://www.deadfred.com/)?
Aaack - you're right - I should definitely do that. You know, this should have been one of my resolutions, to make a systematic effort to get these mystery photos ID'd. Well, even if it is a late resolution, I can make a stab at it. Thanks for the suggestion!ReplyDelete

For the past few days I have been incredibly irritable, cranky, sullen, aggravated & sleep-deprived. No, I don't have a newborn baby that I must care for, instead my body decided to birth the mother of all rashes all over my skin parts. That's right… I've got it:
Poison Ivy.
And it's EV-ERY-WHERE.
I want to die.
-No. That's not quite it.
I want to kill myself.
-Hmmm… close, but still, that sentiment isn't totally fitting.
Ok, got it…
I want the rip the flesh from my body, soak it in acid & bleach, scald it in boiling water, pass it through an industrial strength blow dryer and have it re-attached all while I am under heavy sedation so I can catch up on the COUNTLESS hours I've not slept ever since Mount St. Hellish erupted all over my oh-so sensitive limbs.
What probably sucks more than the itching and discomfort and lack of sleep at night is the fact that I have no one but myself to blame for this debacle.
Am I unreasonably susceptible to toxic weeds with poison oils? Why yes, yes, I am.
Have I, in the past, contracted said poison oils simply by washing the clothes of another who came in contact with the plant, although I had not? Damn right I have.
As a child, did I come down with multiple horrific cases of ivy poisoning during summer months, so so SO so bad that I once got it inside my eye, causing my lid to swell to the approximate size of a golf ball, forcing me to spend the following days trying to slide a thin layer of tissue between my swollen lids to collect my miserable, unjustly afflicted, childhood tears? This scenario, sadly, is also all too true.
So then why, when warned of poison leaves in the area, did I not flee? Why did I not wave my middle finger in the general direction of my offenders instead of waving the wand of a weed-killing spray in their face. That same blasted wand that literally managed to blast the irritating oils of its plant host back onto my body and clothing?
Because I am an idiot and an asshole.
At least that's all I've been able to come up with.
Do you want to know an interesting fact that I read about poisonous plants? One of the WORST things you can do is to spray them with weed-killer for the exact reason I mentioned above. It causes teeny-tiny offensive poison particles to become airborne, and for those of us with extreme cases of what I like to call "new-born dermatitis" (Do you get hives from moderate alcohol consumption while sitting in the sun? What about from applying certain types of sun block mixed with chlorinated pool water? Then this is you and your life if screwed…) you are risking not only spraying vicious oils all over your skin but you may also end up ingesting them, thus causing a shit storm of shit you do not want to deal with. Trust.
The worst thing about this particular instance is the fact that I didn't even know I had poison ivy until about 3 days after it first reared its ugly pimpled head. It wasn't until I awoke one night last week attempting to saw off my own leg with my ragged fingernails that I realized that what I assumed were above average sized mosquito bites were in fact, much much worse.
The next day I noticed a rash had begun to form and spread and those once large circular "mosquito bite" sized blobs on my legs had begun to transform themselves into things that looked more like red sand tropical islands rather than innocuous rosy-red orbs.
It wasn't until this past Friday night (mind you I contracted the "sickness" on the previous Sunday afternoon) that I realized I had not only entered my home that Sunday, while covered in the offending oil, sat on the couch (which seconds as our bed), touched numerous household items and the cat, before I realized that I was also sleeping on the same sheets since that day. The same sheets that I'd been rolling around in for the entire week wondering why this shit was spreading all over my body like wildfire.
Needless to say… it was too late. A week since I first noticed the rash I am still accumulating new patches of discomfort. I have washed my sheets & any and all associated materials I may or may not have (can't risk it) touched since the incident twice over now and I am on my way to get a shot of steroids from my doctor because I have left myself with no other options.
The bee and I have barely said a word to each other in days, mostly due to the fact that my emotional range is either that of a crazed, hypersensitive crying lunatic, weeping at the sign of a new blister or bump or that of an aloof, angry madwoman whose main purpose in life is now to eradicate all toxins from my living space.
I've seen a doctor, received a shot of cortisone in my arm and am currently taking steroids despite the fact that I was always told they give men breasts and women mustaches. This was a risk I was mostly willing to take and since I already have both breasts and a mustache. I think I can say I've won this round.
It is now a day after the doctor and the welts have begun to subside but more than that my state of mind is slightly more balanced than it had been. To put things into perspective I have included photographic evidence from the day I first noticed the bumps arise:
That joke proved even less funny after my leg started to look like this:
In short…
Happy 4th! Stay safe, have fun, and stay the fuck inside.

As athletes strive for the Olympic Gold this summer in London, Anthropology News takes an anthropological look into the Games.
Kevin Carrico reflects on the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing in his article Celebration and Security. He was studying in China when the International Olympic Committee announced the host city of the 2008 Games. Carrico returns to China in 2008 to observe the Olympic experience for local Chinese outside of Beijing. The outcome of such research is surprising. Here is an excerpt:
In the summer of 2001, when the International Olympic Committee named the Chinese capital Beijing as the host for the 2008 Olympics, I was studying in the former southern capital of Nanjing. Despite marked geographical and temporal distance from the event, excitement and celebration reigned that July evening. Crowds cheered before televisions broadcasting the news live, drivers honked their horns in celebration, bar patrons engaged in repeated calls of "bottoms up (gan bei)," and acquaintances and friends repeatedly asked, "did you hear?" The geographical and historical gap between the two cities was sutured by a manufactured intimacy seemingly encompassing "China" as a whole, while the temporal gap was sutured by anticipation and already rapidly-growing expectations. Acquaintances, seemingly unfulfilled by the present moment, repeatedly encouraged me, "you'll have to come back in 2008!"

Britain's Got Talent ended on Sunday night. There were 10 episodes - so it's not a huge download. I HIGHLY recommend this show - even if you don't like the American version. It was the best show I've seen in a long time.I also saw a British version of Temptation Island posted a couple of days ago. The whole series was posted on bittorrent. It's got Hebrew subtitles, but they aren't too distracting.
The X-Factor has started in Britain. The first episode is available. It's a derivative of Pop Idol. So far so good. Of course anything with Simon Cowell can't be too bad.
You'll see the torrent listed at www.demonoid.comGood luck!Hell's Kitchen UK has also been posted recently to bittorrent.

NKorea withdraws offer to discuss reunions, tours
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Thursday withdrew offers for talks with South Korea on reunions of separated families and resuming tours to a mountain resort, Seoul said.
South Korea's Unification Ministry said North Korea now instead wants to focus on ongoing negotiations meant to reopen a shuttered jointly run factory complex.
North Korea made offers Wednesday. Seoul had agreed to talk about arranging family reunions but rejected Pyongyang's proposal to discuss resumption of South Korean tours to a North Korean mountain.
Seoul said it will again ask North Korea to agree to talks on family reunions.
The two Koreas recently agreed on a desire to reopen the Kaesong complex north of their border, but they have not agreed on the details.
Talks aimed at restarting the factory park ended Wednesday with no breakthrough. Both sides agreed to meet again Monday to discuss restoring what was once a symbol of cooperation between the rivals.

We are a full-service floral and balloon shop committed to offering only the finest floral arrangements, the longest lasting balloon bouquets and beautiful décor for all of your special events. We back this up with friendly and prompt service. Our focus is to always exceed your expectations.
I began this company as a small local balloon bouquet and delivery service. However, over the years, my customers asked if I could provide flowers for their weddings. As the owner, I learned the floral basics at the local JC in Santa Rosa, got my business degree at Chico State and have honed my skills as an owner/designer in my retail store. Today, most of the work I do is floral related. However, as a Certified Balloon Artist, I still love playing and creating with balloons, and still find myself doing lots of Classic Balloon Décor.
I provide floral and balloon décor for any size event, from a small intimate gathering to large elaborate weddings. I work anywhere in the Bay Area, including Lake, Napa, Sonoma & Mendocino County. If you live in a county other than Lake County I can meet with you in a locale closer to your home. If you are a bride having a destination wedding, I am very comfortable doing everything via internet and phone. Many of the brides I work with don't meet me until the week of their wedding. However, if you are close by, I invite you to make an appointment to look at my portfolio and discuss your ideas and visions and how I can help create décor that is perfect for you. We work with all kinds of budgets and take pride in being able to create beautiful flowers within your budget without sacrificing quality. I hand-pick all of the flowers early in the morning at the San Francisco Flower Market.
The Gift Basket part of the business is also an outcome of the original balloon business. We offer a variety of themed baskets to give as gifts such as Bath & Body, Coffee and Tea and Chocolate Decadence. We are always willing to design a basket perfect for your gift giving needs. Whether you need one basket or a hundred baskets we can deliver. We just request some lead time to source the product necessary to create the perfect gift.
Whatever the occasion, let Rainbow Balloons and Petals & Baskets be your first choice for all your floral, decorating and gift-giving needs. I look forward to serving you.

Harvard And MIT Back Open Education With $60 Million Online Learning Project
from the another-tipping-point? deptNews that Harvard University is the latest to join the growing revolt against the exorbitant pricing of academic journals caused something of a stir recently -- although it has been pointed out that its case would be stronger if it followed its own advice and made the Harvard Business Review open access, or at least cheaper.
But here's an area where Harvard, together with MIT, is being more pro-active in helping to make knowledge more widely available online:
EdX is a joint partnership between The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University to offer online learning to millions of people around the world. EdX will offer Harvard and MIT classes online for free. Through this partnership, the institutions aim to extend their collective reach to build a global community of online learners and to improve education for everyone.
MIT's MITx platform already offers some MIT courses online, and is open source:
EdX will build on both universities' experience in offering online instructional content. The technological platform recently established by MITx, which will serve as the foundation for the new learning system, was designed to offer online versions of MIT courses featuring video lesson segments, embedded quizzes, immediate feedback, student-ranked questions and answers, online laboratories and student-paced learning. Certificates of mastery will be available for those who are motivated and able to demonstrate their knowledge of the course material.
EdX will release its learning platform as open-source software so it can be used by other universities and organizations that wish to host the platform themselves. Because the learning technology will be available as open-source software, other universities and individuals will be able to help edX improve and add features to the technology.
The hope is that other universities will join with Harvard and MIT to make EdX one of the primary platforms for online learning. Interestingly, it will also be used to research how people learn using digital technology -- and how it can be deployed more effectively:
MIT and Harvard will use the jointly operated edX platform to research how students learn and how technologies can facilitate effective teaching both on-campus and online. The edX platform will enable the study of which teaching methods and tools are most successful. The findings of this research will be used to inform how faculty use technology in their teaching, which will enhance the experience for students on campus and for the millions expected to take advantage of these new online offerings.
This looks like an important move for online learning, not least because of the scale of the financial support:
The initiative will be overseen by a not-for-profit organization based in Cambridge, Mass., to be owned and governed equally by the two universities. MIT and Harvard have committed to a combined $60 million ($30 million each) in institutional support, grants and philanthropy to launch the collaboration.
Those funds and the projects they will catalyze could boost efforts to make university courses more widely available, complementing the growing success of open access in opening up published materials.
