RIM is attempting to entice developers with cash and free gadgets to port Android and Apple games to the upcoming BlackBerry platform.
BlackBerry, which has seen Android and Apple iOS cut into its market share, held an event in Sydney on 5 December to teach Australian game developers how to port their games from other operating systems to the BlackBerry 10 platform, due for release early next year.
"Developers were rewarded for completing porting on-site with a BlackBerry PlayBook and will receive $100 for every gaming app that is approved for sale in BlackBerry App World up to a maximum of 20 apps," RIM said.
"Developers also received a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device, a prototype device running a beta version of BlackBerry 10, for every Top Arcade, Puzzle and Action game ported on-site."
Developers at the event were able to finish making a port of their games in less than a day, according to RIM.
RIM plans a virtual event this weekend for developers who couldn't attend in person, it said. The event starts today and runs for 36 hours. It will also hold an "Android Port-A-Thon" on 11 January, it said.
"As with our first Port-A-Thon, the more apps you port and build, the greater your rewards," the company wrote on its developer blog.
Android continues to dominate among smartphone operating systems, representing 72.4 per cent of devices sold in the third quarter this year, according to Gartner. Apple iOS represented 13.9 per cent of devices sold, while BlackBerry had 5.3 per cent. Windows Phone represented 2.4 per cent.
Telsyte analyst Rodney Gedda said the incentive program "is not necessarily a sign of 'desperation' as such" on the part of RIM. Google has had the Android developer's challenge and Nokia and Microsoft have had similar programs, he said.
"Even if some pundits are skeptical about the success of BlackBerry 10, having another option in the touchscreen smartphone OS market is good for businesses and consumers," Gedda said.
"If RIM can get BlackBerry 10 devices right, we will have an alternative to the big 3 mobile platforms – Android, iOS and Windows Phone."
"As a developer the last thing you want is a hard time getting access to the devices and software needed to do your job. So by providing access to the platform and incentivising development, RIM is facilitating the growth of its app ecosystem."
A Commonwealth Bank official said recently that BlackBerry's declining share made the platform "a big question mark" for developing a CommBank app.
"If you look at the market share numbers today in Australia, they point in two directions, and that is Android and iOS for mobile smartphone devices," said CommBank chief marketing officer Andy Lark.
All eyes are on how BlackBerry 10 is received by the market next year, Gedda said.
"BlackBerry devices still have significant business market share in Australia so a more modern interface with the security and management features could be the catalyst it needs to fend off the competition."

In a relatively short time, cloud computing, specifically Infrastructure-as a-Service, has shifted from a new but unproven approach to an accepted, even inevitable, model. Driven by flexibility and efficiency, the question facing most organizations is not whether the cloud is part of their infrastructure plans, but which applications and workloads to move to the cloud and when. But even as the benefits of cloud and hosted models have become apparent, concerns persist about security, and an assumption lingers that the cloud is inherently less secure than an enterprise data center environment.

Small ProductMore Information
Product Description
SILICONE 200 CONTRACTORS is a cost effective Acetoxy cure sealant that adheres to most smooth and non-porous materials. This product contains an anti-fungal compound to prevent mould growth in areas of high humidity. SILICONE 200 is mid to low modulus in nature.
• Permanently flexible.
• Anti-fungal formula - prevents mold growth.
• Quick curing - low dirt pick up.
• Low viscosity for fast application
• Certified under the harmonized European standard EN15651 for façade and sanitary applications in compliance with the Construction Product Regulations
Areas For Use
• Sealing aluminium and metal sealing.
• Sealing around baths, showers, basins and other sanitary ware.
• As an adhesive for fixing PVCu trims, cladding and panels.
• Sealing around worktops and laminates.
• Pointing and door frames.
• For aluminium gutter sealing.
• General draughtproofing.
• Not for use in aquarium manufacture. Use EVERFLEX AQUAMATE.
• Not for use in conjunction with bitumen, or asphalt. Use ALL WEATHER MATE.
• Not for use on highly porous surfaces such as new concrete or stonework. Priming is advised or use SILICONE 450.
• Not for use on substrates that may bleed oils, solvent or plasticisers.
• Do not use in the vicinity of, or in conjunction with the edge sealant of double glazed units. Use SILICONE 450.
• When applying to uPVC, priming is recommended. Always carry out an adhesion test before using on uPVC.
• Do not use on soft metals such as lead and brass. Use LEADMATE SILICONE.
• Non overpaintable. In applications where overpainting is required, use WEATHER MATE.
Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be clean, dry and dust free. All loose or flaking surface coatings, and old sealant and mastic joints, should be removed before application. Glass, metal and aluminium should be cleaned with a proprietary solvent cleaner prior to application for optimum adhesion. Porous surfaces may require priming - a small area should be tested first.
Reference should be made to the recommended joint ratios. If necessary reduce joint depth using EXPANDING FILL AND FIX FOAM, or Joint backer rod. Furthermore, ensure that the joint design only permits adhesion to two surfaces, as three sided adhesion will impair flexibility.
Cut the tip of the cartridge taking care not to damage the thread. Apply nozzle and cut cleanly at an angle of 45' with an opening slightly larger than the gap to be sealed. Apply using a standard sealant gun. Best results will be obtained by keeping an even pressure on the gun trigger and keeping the gun at a constant angle to the surface being sealed.
Smooth down within 10 minutes of application. To ensure a proper bond, always smooth the sealant down using a spatula or piece of wood wetted with a soap and water solution. An improved appearance can be achieved by placing masking tape to both sides of the joint and removing within 5 minutes of application.

Okay, so I don't know why I'm still blogging this show, even though I'm SO not the target audience. I really am a terrible manga reader: as an example, I've tried for a year now to get through the Bokura no, and even though it's one very big heap of awesomeness, I'm still stuck around chapter 30. I'm not sure why it is, but I completely lack the dicipline for that.
In any case, this episode sure showed why the Tsubasa Manga has been rumoured to be so ridiculously complicated: the sakura we've seen thus far wasn't the real Sakura, but simply a clone. A second Sakura (another clone) for some strange reason turns out to be inside the Japan country, but before she can do anything she gets kidnapped by the guy from the Piffle and Jade world.
At the moment, I really don't take the Tsubasa series seriously anymore, mostly because I just have seen way too little of the real Syaoran to make up for all of the angst he seems to be going through. And on top of that, this only seems to be the beginning of the string of far-fetched plot twists that's about to come. Though I do have to give this show credit where it's due: this episode really looked awesome in terms of visuals, but most importantly, I really appreciate the GUTS of this show to kill off one of its main characters. Even though Sakura was instantly replaced by yet another clone, the two of them remain different characters. These experimental bits are things that I can appreciate in a way, but PLEASE: in the next OVA, make Sakura actually DO something. I had a bit of hope in the third episode of Tokyo Revelations, but it's starting to get really dull to see her still in the role of damsel in distress. Especially with how ridiculously powerful fake Syaoran has become, I really hope that she's going to something different other than sitting around waiting to be rescued or god-moding herself out of trouble.
My biggest fear right now is that xxxHolic is going to take over these ridiculously complicated plot twists from Tsubasa Chronicle, and this episode… well… came with a really weird revelation: Watanuki gave away his memory in return from the information of Fei Wong's location. Oh god, I knew that it was strange that we've never heard of Watanuki's parents, but to think that he was that involved with the story still baffles me a bit. I know that the xxxHolic anime stripped away all of the Tsubasa references (which was a good thing, IMO), but did he in the manga ever wonder why he couldn't remember his parents' names, or tell how he spent his childhood? And really, another thing I'm wondering: how the heck does a child like that know how to think so far ahead, predicting that years into the future there would be a point in which his alter ego would need to know the location of some evil overlord? Couldn't he have done so at any point in time? Especially considering how the real Syaoran only managed to break free because of a whimsical action of one of Fei Wong's servants, there would have been a pretty big chance for the guy to just waste away his memories that way. And another thing… wasn't Syaoran locked inside of Fei Wong's dimension? If he was conscious the entire time, then why didn't he also know where he was?
I can only hope that the second episode of xxxHolic will be about xxxHolic, rather than it becoming a back-up manga for Tsubasa. I loved xxxHolic because of its unique take on modern folklore and the interesting topics it addressed, not for some kid who is going to help save the world from the evil Fei Wong.
Rating: (Enjoyable)
Lots of far-fetched plot twists with lots of pretty graphics. I have a lot to whine about this series, but somehow it remains compelling.

It's never a slow news day on Fridays at Asymptote. This week we bring you the latest publications, events, and news from France, Brazil, and Argentina.
Barbara Halla, Editor-at-Large, reporting from France
Is it perhaps time to talk about a renaissance for French literature in English translation? More classic French literature has always had an audience in the English-speaking world, but in the past few months new authors are taking the literary world by storm. Édouard Louis is only twenty-five but already a public figure in France. His latest book, a semi-autobiographical work, History of Violence (translated by Lorin Stein) was published to great acclaim in late June. Alison L. Strayer translated for Seven Stories Press Annie Ernaux's The Years (published in the UK by Fitzcarraldo Editions), an innovative collective autobiography that is both memoir and social critique of our times. To continue the trend, in June came also the publication of Gaël Faye Small Country (translated by Sarah Ardizzone), a coming-of-age story that tackles hard issues, including the Rwandan genocide and Civil War in Burundi. The Guardian went so far as to call Faye "the next Elena Ferrante."

Many government organizations want to get analytics into the hands of more people so they can unlock real value from the troves of data generated by applications, information systems, sensors and websites.
Splunk Enterprise 6, the latest version of the company's software platform, offers users an easier way to interact with and visualize machine-generated business data so they can share consistent views of the data. The new platform also makes it easier to build dynamic dashboards and more fluid visualizations, company officials said.
Security analysts with the Energy Department's Oak Ridge National Laboratory participated in the Splunk Enterprise 6 beta test program, using the software to analyze large volumes of diverse machine data streaming in real time, said Jesse Trucks, a cybersecurity engineer at ORNL.
"It is vital these analysts be able to directly manipulate and interact with the data to quickly obtain operational security intelligence," Trucks said. "Splunk Enterprise 6 will enable many more analysts to discover patterns and generate information from our data with the new visualization capabilities."
Splunk Enterprise 6 introduces three innovations that make analytics dramatically faster and easier for existing users, company officials said.
Additionally, Splunk Enterprise 6 is easier to set up, configure, use and manage. The platform offers:
Splunk Enterprise 6 provides more machine data analytics to a new set of users, said Eric Hanselman, chief analyst, 451 Research. "Business users want and need software that makes it easier to dig deeper into analytic tasks without the help of IT or knowledge of coding and query languages," he said.
Splunk recently forged an alliance with data analytics company Pentaho to help government agencies and businesses glean more insight from machine data. The combined platform, the Pentaho Business Analytics and Splunk Enterprise, will let users analyze and visualize machine data to extract actionable information.
Splunk Enterprise ingests large volumes of machine data and provides the analytics to make sense of the data in order to pinpoint problems. Meanwhile, Pentaho provides a full big data analytics solution that covers the entire analytic process including data integration, interactive data visualization, exploration and predictive analytics, company officials said. Government agencies now have a unified platform for both data integration and business analytics.

Tens of thousands of Iranians took part in pro-government demonstrations in several cities across the country on Wednesday, state media reported, after a week of protests against the government and unrest that has killed at least 21 people.
While the rallies showed support among Iran's 80 million people for its clerically overseen government, the unrest which has swept through several cities appeared to be reaching smaller towns in the countryside, according to protesters' online videos.
Official and semi-official media did not immediately offer new details of the unrest Wednesday. Demonstrators' videos corresponded with The Associated Press' reporting from outside of Iran, though individual protesters themselves remain unreachable. The protests appear to remain leaderless.
The protests, the largest seen in Iran since its disputed 2009 presidential election, began on Dec. 28 in Mashhad, Iran's second-largest city and a bastion for hard-liners. While initially focusing on Iran's flagging economy and rising food prices, they've morphed into demands for wholesale change in Iran's theocratic government.
On Wednesday, state TV reported that pro-government demonstrations took place in dozens of cities and towns, including Ahvaz, the capital of the oil-rich province of Khuzestan; the Kurdish town of Kermanshah in the country's west; and Qom, the religious capital of Shiite Islam in Iran.
Demonstrators carried pre-printed signs and Iranian flags, with state TV offering a swooping helicopter shot in Ahvaz to show their scale. Ahvaz and the wider Khuzestan province is home to many ethnic Arabs and has seen unrest amid the protests.
In Qom, state TV cameras focused on the Shiite clerics taking part, many wearing the black turbans identifying them as direct descendants of the Prophet Muhammad.
The English-language Press TV broadcast Wednesday's pro-government rallies live, saying they sought to "protest the violence that has taken place over the last few nights in cities." State TV said the demonstrations served as an "answer to the protests," which it blamed on "servants of the U.S."
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Tuesday blamed days of protests across the country on meddling by "enemies of Iran."
"Look at the recent days' incidents," Khamenei said. "All those who are at odds with the Islamic Republic have utilized various means, including money, weapons, politics and (the) intelligence apparatus, to create problems for the Islamic system, the Islamic Republic and the Islamic Revolution."
Khamenei avoided identifying any foreign countries, although he promised to elaborate in the coming days. Undoubtedly high on his list is the United States, where President Donald Trump has tweeted his support for the protests for several days. Some pro-government demonstrators carried signs showing Trump's face covered with a bright red "X."
On Wednesday, Trump again tweeted about the protests.
"Such respect for the people of Iran as they try to take back their corrupt government," he wrote. "You will see great support from the United States at the appropriate time!"
Iran's government has since shut down access to Telegram and the photo-sharing app Instagram in an attempt to contain the unrest. Facebook and Twitter were already banned.
The Trump administration has called on Iran's government to stop blocking Instagram and other popular social media sites. U.S. Undersecretary of State Steve Goldstein said Instagram, Telegram and other platforms are "legitimate avenues for communication."
The head of Tehran's Revolutionary Court has warned that arrested protesters could potentially face the death penalty.
"Obviously one of their charges can be Moharebeh," or waging war against God, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency quoted Mousa Ghazanfarabadi as saying. Moharebeh is punishable by death in Iran.
Later Wednesday, Turkish officials said Iran's President Hassan Rouhani told his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan that he hopes the protests "will end in a couple of days." Officials in Erdogan's office said the two had a telephone conversation on Wednesday during which Erdogan stressed the importance of stability and calm.
A statement from Rouhani's office quoted the president as saying: "Iranian police's wise, calming presence in recent limited unrest indicates that we fully trust the security and stability in our country."
The United Nations' high commissioner for human rights meanwhile called on Iran to investigate all deaths in the protests and act "with great care so as not to further inflame violence and unrest."
Latest Nation & World
"The Iranian authorities must respect the rights of all demonstrators and detainees, including their right to life, and guarantee their safety and security," Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein said in a statement.
An activist video meanwhile showed unrest in Noor Abad, in Lorestan province, some 360 kilometers (225 miles) southwest of Tehran.
Demonstrators in the video are seen coming to the aid of another protester, who appears seriously wounded. They later set fire to an ambulance in anger over what they describe as the local hospital's refusal to treat their wounded.
Gambrell reported from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

As the first day of our research trip ended, we packed up our gear at the Montgomery County, NY Archives and headed for the car. Our day was not over just yet. We had cemeteries and homesteads to visit before we could rest.
The first homestead on our list was that of John Edwards, the grandfather of my Dad's grandfather. If I'm not mistaken that makes him my 3rd great grandfather. John was born in 1792 in Germantown, New York to our otherwise elusive immigrant ancestor, William Edwards from Wales and his 3rd generation American Palatine wife, Christina. Sometime around 1810 John followed his family members who had already settled in Charleston (later Glen) New York. John married a Dutch girl, Ann Van Schaick in 1816. They settled on what is now Argesinger Road in Glen and had nine children.
Having a copy of John's will, I knew that the property had been sold out of the family after his death. But I was keen to see it none-the-less. The Argesinger brothers had bought it after the Edwards family sold it. I had been contacted by the children of one of the Argesingers but I wasn't sure if they still owned it or not.
The folks at the Archives had told us that the Amish were buying up many farms in the area. Caution signs with pictures of horse drawn carriages randomly appeared along the streets. We were also told that the Amish built new houses and barns rather than using the ones that existed. In this very old place where time stood still is was easy to pick out the farms that the Amish bought.
Dad and I came to the spot where John Edwards' homestead should have stood. Instead of a home on the north side of the road there was a little small, new, not particularly attractive construction. Yet the barn across the road matched the one in the photo the Argesinger relatives had given us. An Amish young man happened to be walking along the way.
We pulled our car over and the young Amish man waited for us. Despite that he was no more than 20 years old he had a full beard. His long sleeve button down shirt was of a rich deep blue hue. His dark pants were secured by buttons only. No zippers or snaps in sight. I explained to him that we had a photo of his barn that was taken in 1937. I showed him the photo and he agreed it was his barn. We explained that our ancestors had settled this land and built the house and cleared the farm. We were hoping to learn more about it and take a current photo of the barn.
The young Amish man signaled to the distance where his father and brother were. He said he would ask his father. We walked toward them. His father was up an apple tree. My family had harvested apples when they lived on this land too. The father came down off the ladder to see what all the fuss was about. He looked at the photo from 1937. We explained again about how our ancestors settled this land. Dad and I weren't sure if our comments had any impact on him. We made introductions, Marian Pierre-Louis, George Edwards, Ben Miller.
He seemed intrigued by the photo. He explained that the original barn had burned down in 1908 or 1909. The barn that my ancestor had built. This replacement was built by the Argesinger Brothers in 1910 or so. He said the year was written on the barn somewhere. He agreed to let us take a photo of the barn.
Over the ensuing hour we learned that Ben cared about the history of this place as well. He sent his son back to the house to find the packet of deeds to the property. Ben also had photos that previous owners had taken. Some of them contained photos of John Edwards house that was no longer standing.
In a funny twist of modern world meets the Amish, we took digital photos of their old photos of the homestead as well as the deeds relating to our family. Ben was going to give us the photos but then thought better that his wife might like to keep them. Dad chastised me later for not taking them. But I understood how Ben's wife might feel and wanted her to keep the photos.
On our way out we took some photos of the farm, but not of the Millers. I was satisfied visiting the original homestead of my Edwards family in New York. While I didn't get to see the home where John Edwards once lived I did enjoying viewing his farm and the land he cleared. The connection to the land was still strong and I went away fulfilled.

Meeting the Amish
Posted by Marian at 10:00 PM
1 comment:
What a wonderful adventure. I have a keen interest in the Amish. I have read a lot about them. My fascination with them began with an Amish buggy that we drove behind on the way to tour the Hershey, PA when I was a kid. I have attended Amish quilt fairs and have had Shoo Fly Pie. As far as I know I have no Amish ancestors (or Menonite)but my grandmother insisted that some of her Dutch ancestors may have been Pennsylvania Dutch (German speaking Amish) but this story has not yet been substantiated.ReplyDelete

text: Professor Dan Likarish is teaching students to be leaders in information assurance From Dan Likarish's perspective, the future is excitedly promising. It's hard to be anything but optimistic when teaching in one of the fastest growing fields in computer technology – information assurance. The field is aimed at protecting and securing digital networks and data storage. In other words, information assurance is cyber security. Likarish, an assistant professor and Information Assurance program coordinator in Regis' School of Computer & Information Sciences, said he loves what he does because it touches on many different fields. And students who can develop such skills have a bright future. "Due to recent international data leaking and hacking scandals this field of study has really exploded," he said. "I can only foresee it continuing to grow as the government and corporate entities take action to protect their information." Likarish enjoys being part of a nationally recognized information assurance program. Regis is one of five Colorado schools recognized as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education. Regis' expertise in this field also recently helped reel in a grant from the Department of Defense to develop technology that will allow for better coordination among states, the National Guard and universities in response to cyber security infrastructure threats. Likarish also enjoys the variety of teaching methods he can use with students. This includes teaching through hands-on experiences like simulation exercises. The National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition, in which teams compete to protect a simulated network infrastructure, is one example. Regis' Denver Tech Center campus hosts the Rocky Mountain regional competition. "Initially, it's about teaching the students," Likarish said. "Then it's about building lasting relationships. We have tremendous graduates that will provide this field with a great future." Become a part of the future. Learn more about Regis' Information Assurance program .


text: Hello everyone, In January of 2006, many of you participated in the Parenting Experience Survey for which I sincerely want to thank you again. As a result of your participation, the preliminary results will be presented at the National Association of School Psychologists which is being held in New York City in March of 2007. It is important to get the news out to help our kids. Cheryl supports research also !!! and has allowed me to ask again for your help in another type of research. Of the 627 of you who responded to the original survey, only 23 parents had been involved in a Due Process Hearing with their School District. So far, five people have volunteered and in order for this project to work, we need about 5 more people who are U.S. residents. If you are one of those remaining 18 people, or are a person who has gone to Due Process even if you did not complete the original survey, please see the explanation below which is what was originally posted: "I would like to ask you to participate in a telephone interview about your experiences. I am interested in why you chose to go to Due Process, your impressions of the procedure, the outcome you obtained, how you felt about it then, and how you feel about it now. The interview should take between 45 minutes to one hour and would, of course, be scheduled at your convenience if you decide to participate. In order to preserve the anonymity of http://www.conductdisorders.com, I would ask that you email me if you are willing to consider participating. If you respond to this announcement, I will then send you a description of the study and a consent form. I would know your telephone number if you were to choose to participate, but no other personally identifying information will be sought, and nothing will ever be released that could identify you. After the telephone interview is completed, I will not keep a record of your telephone number or email address. Thank you in advance for considering yet another way to try to help our children! Sincerely, Martie"  [email protected] (Please notice that this e-mail is NOT my CD board registration e-mail.)

Justin Bieber moons fans, followers
Ann Oldenburg, USA TODAY
It happened quickly.
Justin Bieber shared a shot of his bare cheeks on Saturday on Instagram, mooning anyone who happened to see the photo before he deleted it.
The pop singer, wearing a black tank top, sunglasses and a hat, is looking over his shoulder with a grin, as he pulls his pants down to show his bare backside.
While E! says it was just a prank, it might also have been a way to pull in more social media followers. On Twitter, Bieber is counting down the days to the release of his new Believe Acoustic album.
And in other Bieber news, Stacy Betts, who filed a lawsuit against the singer last summer after she attended a concert with her daughter in 2010 that she claims left her with permanent ear damage, has dropped her court case.

Germany won't deport Afghan refugees: Alemi
Germany won't deport Afghan refugees: Alemi
KABUL (Pajhwok): In the wake of an attack on the German embassy in Kabul, Berlin has decided to halt deportation of Afghan refugees, the minister of refugees says.
Under the German interior ministry's decision, only those Afghans involved in criminal offences would be sent back home, Sayed Hussain Alemi Balkhi said in an interview.
Speaking to 1TV, he said the Merkel administration took the decision after an investigation into a massive truck bomb attack on its embassy in Kabul.
Balkhi is optimistic that Sweden too would deal with the Afghan refugees the way Germany did. "Swedish officials have assured me that they would treat them according to the laws and conventions."
A number of refugees gathered in front of the Swedish parliament against the planned deportation of Afghan asylum seekers.

Communication issues and concerns over thunderstorms and traffic jams caused some Burning Man attendees to miss what is considered one highlight of the weeklong art and music gathering in Nevada's Black Rock Desert: the Sunday night burning of a structure known as the Temple.
Many attendees of the festival extend their stay an extra day to see the Temple, an attraction introduced by artist David Best in 2000, burn on Sunday each year. Some liken the burning of the Temple, which is used as a pilgrimage site where people can leave messages, memorials and mementos to honor lost loved ones, to a religious experience, a stark contrast to the party mood surrounding the Saturday night burn of the gathering's namesake man structure.
This year, at some unknown point, a decision was made to burn the Temple at 8 p.m., apparently to ease anticipated traffic jams created by the throngs of people leaving Black Rock City, the makeshift community constructed to host Burning Man, after the event.
On Sunday, members of a volunteer safety force called the Black Rock Rangers canvased Black Rock City, warning citizens that a large thundershower was headed for the area on Monday at noon, and everyone should leave Sunday or be ready to get muddy and possibly stuck until the lake bed dried out.
Radio reports on a station dedicated to information about the festival spoke of the impending storm between nearly every song. Bureau of Land Management officers didn't seem to be as concerned, saying there was only a 30 to 40 percent chance of a storm. What wasn't being mentioned repeatedly on the radio was that the Temple was going to burn at 8 p.m. Sunday night, leaving those not in the know, out of luck, as every other burn in the week starts at 9 p.m. or later.
Around 8:20 p.m., a large fire could be seen from all over the city as the fire peaked, while art cars raced down the streets and people of foot or bikes stopped where they were to catch a slight glimpse before the building collapsed moments later.
Instead of talking about the beauty of the burn, attendees were asking why that they had missed it and how did others find out that the burn was scheduled for 8 p.m.
One person who had gone out to watch the sunset at the Temple said the burn was the least attended they'd ever seen, with only a few rows of people in position by the time the wooden structure was ignited.
The line to leave Black Rock City was consistently six to eight hours or more between 4 p.m. and 2 a.m. Sunday. Many attendees asked wondered what difference having the Temple burn at 8 p.m. really made in traffic easing, compared to the huge difference in experience the change made for those who stayed but missed it, not knowing it was at 8 p.m. instead of 9 p.m.
Still, the six to eight-hour wait to leave the site was much shorter than reported delays of up to 12 hours experienced by people trying to get into the city on Monday, when Burning Man organizers have more control over the traffic flow. Some were also left waiting at the gate for people to leave on Friday morning before they could come in due to the city reaching peak population.
On Monday, weather reports still said there was a 20 percent chance of thundershowers, though the city was nearly empty at that point.

The Orange City Council approved a three-year extension to the city's contract with Acadian Ambulance Service and discussed pending litigation regarding former Orange Police Captain Robert Arnold at its regular meeting Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 22.
Deputy Fire Chief and Emergency Management Director Jerald Ziller from the Orange Fire Department recommended a three-year extension to the existing contract the city of Orange has with Acadian. The agreement gives Acadian exclusive rights to provide emergency and non-emergency ambulance service in Orange and other cities and municipalities participating in interlocal agreements with the city. The council accepted the measure unanimously.
At-large councilman Bill Mello commented, "I've never heard a complaint … about (Acadian)."
In a phone interview, Orange County Pct. 4 Commissioner Jody Crump expressed some concern regarding the exclusivity clause in Acadian's contract with the city of Orange. He feels the provision allows the company to operate without competition and worries that could cause higher prices or reduced quality in services to Orange and other cities participating in interlocal agreements.
"To me, the idea of competition breeds a different type of environment, whether that be quality or cost or anything else," Crump explained. "We have no leverage (in the contract). I am not saying that Acadian is doing a bad job."
The council later moved into executive session to discuss matters including ongoing litigation involving the Robert Arnold case. Arnold is the former Orange Police Department captain who was dismissed after he shot and killed 28-year-old Marine veteran James Whitehead at close range during a heated verbal exchange at O'Reilly Auto Parts in Orange on July 26, 2010. Arnold is suing the city to get reinstated as a police officer, but the city is fighting. Arbitrator Leroy Bartman previously ruled in 2011 that Arnold should be put back on the payroll because he was unaware he was being investigated for the shooting. Late last year, Judge Elizabeth Ray threw out Bartman's ruling and remanded the case for a new hearing, sending it back to the American Arbitration Association for the designation of a new fact-finder to replace the arbitrator. On Tuesday, the council took no action regarding the case, but city attorney John C. Smith said Arnold has appealed Judge Ray's ruling reversing Bartman's decision. Smith said it would be months before the court of appeals makes a decision.
"All they can get now is another hearing," Smith said. "There's going to be a complete and total new trial. … Mr. Arnold is back to square one. He has, so far, gotten nowhere, and my job is to keep him from getting anywhere. And I have been pretty successful so far."

WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY- 5th June 2018
"Beat Plastic Pollution"
"Let's declare war against one time usable plastics"
World Environment
Day, commemorated each year on 5th June, is one of the principal
medium through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the
environment and enhances attention and action. World Environment Day (WED)
established by United Nations General Assembly in 1972, to mark the opening of
the Stockhome Conference on the human environment. Another resolution, adopted
by the General Assembly the same day, led to the creation of UNEP.
WED objective is to give a human
face to environmental issues such as the depletion of the ozone layer,
depletion of natural resources, desertification and global warming and empower
people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development;
promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes
towards environmental issues; and advocate partnership which will ensure all
nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future.
It's time! Once again UNEP seeks to make the biggest
global call and mobilization for action on 5 June, World Environment Day
(WED). 'Beat Plastic Pollution', the theme for World Environment
Day 2018. This year, India will be
hosting the global World Environment Day celebrations on 5 June 2018.
Our world is swamped by harmful plastic waste. Every
year, more than 8 million tonnes end up in the oceans. Microplastics in the
seas now outnumber stars in our galaxy. From remote islands to the Artic,
nowhere is untouched. If present trends continue, by 2050 our oceans will have
more plastic than fish.
Many of the Earth's ecosystems are nearing critical
tipping points of depletion or irreversible change, pushed by high population
growth and economic development. By 2050, if current consumption and production
patterns remain the same and with a rising population expected to reach 9.6
billion, we will need three planets to sustain our way of life. Living well
within planetary boundaries is the most promising strategy for ensuring a
healthy future.

14th April 2017
This year's
"??????? - ???? ?? ??????? ?? ????? ??? ???? ????"
On this day, the 14th of April, we
observe the Fire Service Day every year and the same is commemorated throughout
the country. This is to pay homage to the brave firemen who lost their lives
fighting the fire on 14th April, 1944 which broke out in the vessel S.S. Ford
Stikine berthed at Bombay Docks. This is in commemoration and condolence to
remember the brave firemen who provide capacious services for noble cause. Let
us remember those great souls and pay homage to them who have laid down their
lives to save the precious life of somebody else.
In India fires account for a majority of
deaths and loss or damage of property worth enormous amount of money. According
to the statistics more than 25000 incidents are attributed to fires
resulting in death, injury and huge loss of property every year. Almost all
fires begin in a small way. If the fire is controlled and fought at the very
incipient stage then the catastrophe that results from major fires and the
aftermath of such disasters can be avoided.
Awareness of the inherent hazards is the
most important aspect towards prevention of fire. People play a vital role in
fire prevention. We can also play active role in inculcating the awareness
amongst the common people about the disastrous outcome of fire to save
invaluable life and precious property.
Let us take an oath on this very auspicious day that we shall do
our best, both at work-front and social front, which will contribute to the
cause of fire prevention.

Pledges for Green Life Style & Sustainable Development
" You can make a difference:– individual actions, when multiplied, can make an exponential difference to the planet! "
(Also look into the enclosed file on " Pledges for Environmental Improvements")
"Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care."
World environment day annual celebration campaign was started to address the huge environmental issues like wastage and losses of food, deforestation, increasing global warming and so many. Every year's celebration is planned according to the particular theme and slogan of the year to bring effectiveness in the campaign all through the world. We want you to be a part of the growing voice that calls upon saving our environment for the future generations. Take this as an opportunity to green up your lifestyle.
It is celebrated to successfully get carbon neutrality, focusing on the forest management, reducing greenhouse effects, promoting bio-fuels production by planting on degraded lands, use of hydro-power to enhance electricity production, encourage common public to use solar water heaters, energy production through solar sources, developing new drainage systems, promoting coral reefs and mangroves restoration in order to get prevented from flooding and erosion including other ways of environmental preservation.
How do we adapt to conserve Our Planet & Consume resources with Care:
Conserve Energy for Sustainable Development is thinking in terms of creating less impact on our environment. There are many simple and manageable things that we can do every day which add up to the huge change. Governments and businesses around the world can continue to work together to clean up carbon pollution and reduction in GHG emissions and work towards a clean-energy economy. Opportunities exist to promote more energy efficient homes and businesses and to improve industrial practice.
· We can shift our consumption patterns towards goods and services with lower energy and material intensity without compromising quality of life.
· Households consume 29% of global energy and consequently contribute to 21% of resultant CO2 emissions.The cost of renewable energy is increasingly competitive with that derived from fossil fuels. One-fifth of the world's final energy consumption in 2013 was from renewables.
· Globally, energy consumption grew most quickly in the transport and service sectors, driven by rising passenger travel and freight transport, and a rapid expansion in the service economy.
Energy is fundamental to the quality of our lives. Today, we are totally dependent on an abundant and uninterrupted supply of energy. It is our duty to save it for the coming generations.
Even though households are relatively low consumers of water, population growth and expanded water use have outweighed the effect of water saving technology and behavior. Less than 3 % of the world's water is fresh (drinkable), of which 2.5 % is frozen in the Antarctica, Arctic and glaciers. Humanity must therefore rely on 0.5% for all of man's ecosystem's and fresh water needs. More than 1 billion people still do not have access to fresh water. Excessive use of water contributes to the global water stress thus use it wisely.
1) From our toilets to our tubs, approximately 60 percent of a home's water consumption takes place in the bathroom,
§ Turn off water while brushing/shaving/washing dishes.
§ Instead of taking baths, take shorter showers with low-flow showerheads.
§ Upgrade your toilet to a low flush model.
§ Put dye tablets or food coloring in your toilet tank and wait to see if the color appears in the bowl (without flushing). If it does, you have a leak! Fix all the leaks promptly.
2) Make sure that the overhead tanks do not over flow.
3) Operate the washing machine only when it is fully loaded.
4) Use the proper water level or load size selection on the washing machine.
5) Watering of lawns and gardens can double normal household water use during the hot, dry summer months. Established lawns and landscape plantings will usually survive with less watering.
6) Retrofit older buildings and facilities with water-efficient plumbing fixtures.
7) Recharge ground water by the method of rainwater harvesting.
All of us use water in our homes and make it dirty. Contaminated waters are the cause of a large number of diseases. Hence reduce water pollution.
1) Cooking oil and fats which choke the pipes, should not be thrown down the drain, instead throw them in dustbin.
2) Chemicals like paints, solvents, insecticides, motor oil and medicines may kill microbes that help purify water. Throw them into dustbins.
3) Wash your vehicle at a proper washing place/ garage/ authorized servicing centre and avoid mixing of oil in water.
4) Avoid applying chemicals to your garden especially during rainy season.
5) Do not dump plastics/polythene bags into the drainage lines.
1) Avoid using Power Horns.
2) Always maintain your motor vehicle and its exhaust silencer in proper condition.
3) Avoid the use of Loud Speakers / Loud music systems between 10:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M.
4) Ensure that your diesel Generator Set is provided with acoustic enclosure which gives a reduction of a minimum 25 dB(A) (as per the provisions of the Govt. of India notification GSR 371(E)).
2) Plant trees.
3) Less packing leads to less waste. Buy things in bulk to avoid excess packaging.
4) Skip the elevator and take stairs.
5) Take the bus or train- support public transportation.
6) Ride your bicycle.
7) Always try to give a 'print' on both sides of the paper. Reuse/print again one sided non-use printed papers.
8) Find new uses for old things.
9) Unload your trunk, the lighter the load, the less fuel your car consumes.
10) Start Gardening
11) Locally grown, organic food has fewer pesticides and chemicals (or none at all) and reduces the energy and pollution caused by transportation.
12) Sign up for online banking to stop receiving paper statements.
13) Bring lunch to work in reusable containers.
14) Dispose useless cell phones at a nearby authorized cell phone dealer.
15) Choose reusable instead of disposable products (like razors, cups, pens, etc).
16) Weather permitting, take your exercises outdoors.
17) Make maximum use of natural light.
18) Don't idle away energy. Beyond one minute, it is more fuel-efficient to restart your car.
19) Do not use the clutch pedal as foot rest.
20) Shop smart. Bring your own bags to the grocery store. Keep a few reusable shopping bags within easy reach - in your car, purse and office or just near the front door.
21) Use packing that can be recycled. Ask your vendors to use less packaging when feasible.
22) Carrying filtered water in hard-plastic water bottles can help you cut down on buying plastic water bottles and other beverages when you're on the go.
23) Adopt Green Building concepts when you go for a new construction.
24) Spread the Green word!
Looking for support and commitment from each and every one to save our planet for our coming generations .

HEIDENHAIN-SPECTO ST 1200 and ST 3000
The solution for multipoint inspection apparatuses with station widths of only 15 mm
Multipoint measuring stations are becoming ever more important in production. Typical applications are the simultaneous detection of several measured values or combining single measuring steps during machining.
Length gauges from the HEIDENHAIN SPECTO series feature station widths of less than 15 mm, enabling several length gauges to be positioned in tight spaces. To keep space requirements in the system low, cables can be either axially or radially connected. The length gauge is also ideal for in-process measurements thanks to a protection class to IP67.
Accuracy of ±1 µm is ensured over measuring strokes of 12 mm (with the ST 1200) or 30 mm (with the ST 3000). The short-range accuracy (measurement error in a measuring range of 200 µm) is typically less than 0.3 µm, and repeatability has the same low value. These values are possible among other factors due to the highly precise ball guide, designed for a life of more than 60 million measuring cycles.
HEIDENHAIN offers a range of evaluation electronics for processing the measured values on multipoint inspection apparatuses:
- The ND 2100G GAGE-CHEK with up to eight measuring channels enables values to be displayed and directly evaluated. The scope of the software and hardware enables the saving of processes and responses and the display of PLC functionality with applications.
- The MSE 1000 is a modular evaluation unit with up to 250 measuring channels. In addition to channels for measured values, analog signals with ±10 V can also be imported for temperature sensors for example. Four floating inputs and outputs enable actions prior to, during and after measuring. The supply of pneumatic length gauges can also be switched on and off via a compressed air module.
- The EIB 740 with four measuring channels is an ideal evaluation unit for applications requiring high dynamic measured-value acquisition. The device enables data interrogation every 100 µs.
HEIDENHAIN SPECTO length gauges are therefore the ideal solution for multipoint inspection apparatuses. Combining them with the various evaluation electronics enables perfect configurations according to the specific application.

The Cuisinart duet blender/food processor does more than one job, allowing you to have fewer appliances in your kitchen yet still get the same tasks done.
With a chic design coupled with a multitude of different functions including a 500 watt motor, and the ability to mix, chop, puree and blend your food, this Cuisinart Blender Food Processor will be a valuable aid in the kitchen, and it looks great too.
Cuisinart SmartPower Duet Blender
Food Processor in Chrome The Cuisinart Duet Blender/Food Processor is packed full of features, including the ability to be two appliances in one. Not only is the appliance a blender, it is a food processor, too.
A powerful 500 watt motor complements the appliance which will shred, mix, chop and blend almost any type of food easily. All the removable parts are dishwasher safe while the touchpad controls and chrome-finished outer body can be wiped over quickly leaving your Blender in pristine condition ready for next time.
There are many advantages to owning a multipurpose appliance like the Cuisinart SmartPower Duet Blender/Food Processor. The most convenient usage is storage space. With the ability to double as a blender and a food processor in the one convenient unit, you can rid yourself of your old blender and food processor and replace them with this appliance.
The multipurpose appliance will cater for all your blending and food processing needs. A 500 watt motor paired with a stainless steel blade is perfect for slicing, chopping, mixing and liquefying, resulting in you having the perfect consistency for any food you blend or process. The neat looking touchpad controls are easy to use and can be cleaned easily by giving them a wipe over.
The Cuisinart Duet Blender is loud when it's in use. Many of the plastic parts on the blender can be susceptible to wearing quickly, so they may break if put under pressure while blending hard items, like ice. Even if the parts do break, replacement repair parts are relatively easy to source, so you'll be able to repair your blender without the cost of having to buy an entire new unit.
If you're not careful about the quantity of food you place in the blender, it can get jammed in between the blades resulting in you having to stop the blender to rectify the problem.
The Cuisinart SmartPower duet blender/food processor seems like a good idea in using one appliance to do the job of two in the kitchen, but there are drawbacks and flaws in the design and build. Weak plastic parts are prone to breaking in use, the 500 watt motor part can be considered loud when in use.
On the other hand just as many things are good with the Cuisinart duet blender/food processor including the ability to make the perfect smoothie or ice cream, create creamy soups, slice or chop vegetables and purify food a baby can eat.
The stylish look compliments this blender/food processor magnificently and it looks great in the kitchen too. If space is a premium in the kitchen then this blender fits the bill as it will fit snugly under the cabinets in your kitchen. Pricewise it probably works out cheaper to buy when compared to a food processer and blender and should be looked at if you do require both appliances.
