Philips Hue, an advanced technology facilitated to automatically put the lights ON. This accessory adds the comfort of managing lights via Wi-Fi with an extraordinary motion sensor fixed to it. Philips is the very first and foremost to create this wireless device which is very simple to install with its powdered battery, incorporating all kind of artistic and magnificent colors.
It set the lights ON only when the motion is detected by its sensor in the room and turns off automatically when no motion is sensed.
The sensitivity button helps to select Low, Medium, high options. Choosing a higher option means creating a smaller movement and choosing a lower setting generate larger movements.
The sensor can help to trigger the lights ON when you wake up in the middle of the night without fumbling to the switchboards to turn on the lights. Also, you can set the timer to a 'night scene' for a dimmer and warm glowing light to make the obstacles visible.
During the daytime, the activated 'white light' helps to see the surroundings better and when no motion is detected it will dim down before automatically switched off.
The procedure is effortless and very simple. It lets to chose out which lights to turn on as well as pick out the time duration to keep the lights on when everyone has left.
This is, of course, a very standard small white box shape comprised of AAA batteries to automate the lighting. The set up is supposed to be placed in or around the home. Simply mount the device to a wall, ceiling or attached to the metallic surfaces like refrigerators etc.
Adjust the detection angle in the correct direction by adjusting the sensor. The sensor does have detecting limit up to 16.5 feet away, so, set the device to the most used area in the house.
It is perfect for the garage area, basement, bathrooms, and hall where the light is needed for a shorter duration, One can set a longer limit through the app for a specific area like a living area, and shorter duration limit in an area like kitchen, lawns etc
Burning fossil fuels has been the staple for heating homes across the world for millennia. However, increased pressure on homeowners to reduce carbon emissions has seen a shift to renewable sources of energy and an investment in improving energy efficiency. One option for many homes is to install a Biomass heating system. There are several industrial-sized biomass heating systems, alongside biomass electricity generators in many UK cities, but companies are improving and refining the systems for use in the average UK home.
Biomass boilers are very similar to conventional gas boilers that you will be familiar with, providing you with space heating and hot water for the entire home, but instead of using gas (or oil) to produce the heat, they combust sustainably sourced wood. There are three Main Types of Wood Fuel:
Every four weeks or so, the biomass boiler will need to be emptied of the ash. This can be put straight onto a compost heap to help fertilize the soil. Biomass boilers are designed to work all year round; however, you may choose to turn them off in the summer and use an alternative heating source, such as solar.
MCS-approved pellet fired, or gasification biomass boilers are comparable with the most efficient conventional gas boilers and, through the Renewable Heat Incentive, they produce a very healthy return (provided the heat demand on your EPC is sufficient). Therefore, provided you have space to house the fuel and the boiler itself and you are happy that you are going to have to 'feed and clean' the boiler on a regular basis, then a biomass boiler is certainly worth considering.

Obviously, they are very expensive to buy upfront, so this too is something you must bear in mind. If you have access to cheap finance, then installing a biomass boiler could be a no-brainer!
Biomass boilers start at about £7,000 for a 12kW domestic version, which is sufficient to provide heat and hot water for a 4-bed house. A comparably sized gas boiler will only cost around £2500 to install. A bigger biomass boiler with an auto-feed hopper may cost closer to £12,000.
In terms of the cost of fuel, the average price of wood pellets is around 4.2p/kWh which is very much in line with mains gas, while oil costs a little more at 6p/kWh. However, the price of wood pellets is likely to become more attractive going forward since gas prices have continued to rise in recent years, and this trend looks to continue. Biomass boilers are completely independent of the fluctuating import prices of foreign fuels such as gas and oil.
However, if you are lucky enough to have a free supply of wood, then you can heat your home at zero cost. Maybe it's time to consider planning your own patch of woodland or buying one which has permission for sustainable felling and clearing. The other option for those in urban areas is wooden pallets; these are often available for free from building yards and depots. However, care needs to be taken with these as some have been treated with chemicals and painted which will then release noxious fumes when burned.
French doors can add an elegant and classic look to any home, offering an easy flow through the home and linking outside spaces to the home effortlessly. French doors have been popular in British homes for a long time and the classic look will never go out of fashion. There are three options for homeowners in the modern market; French doors, Sliding Doors and Bi-folding doors. French doors are perfect for a medium opening, with two doors which open from the center to give the feel of a large, unobstructed gap. This gives a much wider area than a single door and provides easy access with no central bar or pane of glass, such as you would find on a sliding door. Sliding doors have become less fashionable in recent years and have been criticised for people walking into them and knocking them off their runner! Bi-folding doors are excellent for a large opening but are often excessive for a medium space as they are costly for a limited space.
There are significant differences in the 3 types of material used for French door manufacture each one has its own features.
Timber: The main issue with using wooden external French doors is that, if not properly sealed, timber will saturate or dry out. This "instability" is what causes timber French doors to deform. They can develop draughts from gaps surrounding the door when the wood shrinks as it dries out or sticks & jams when the wood swells as it absorbs water. However, with good maintenance, hardwood timber doors will last 40 or more years, much longer than other materials.
Aluminum: Aluminium French doors are a good option, being very light and strong. However, also
being made from metal, they are cold to the touch.
The metallic structure of the frame necessitates a thermal break between the inside and outside
surfaces. If this thermal break is not made well, then the frames will transmit heat, cold and even
develop condensation on the inner surfaces.
UPVC French doors: This material has such a lot of things going for it. Light, strong, cost-efficient and a natural
insulator, UPVC frames used for French doors offer the best features of all the other material
combined. Most uPVC doors will last 20 or more years, giving excellent value for money and with a
wide choice of colors on the market now, they are the most versatile. Most uPVC doors also come
with multipoint locking systems as standard, improving the security of your doors.
In addition, uPVC doors are very easy to look after. All that they need to keep them looking as good
as new is a wipe/wash clean. They will never need painting and should retain their colour. They are
not affected by bad weather such as rain, frost, and snow nor should the colour fade in strong
sunlight. The door will not warp due to a change in the air temperature and moisture as a wooden
door does.
Energy Efficiency and Insulation
The door should be well insulated to stop the cold getting in and the heat getting out of your home thus making them very energy efficient. If you have glazing in the door it should either be double or triple glazed. Another benefit of being well insulated is that they should reduce noise levels inside your home if you happen to live on a street that is busy with traffic passing by. A good indication that your door has a quality seal is that when you close it shut it should do so with a good solid feel.
To make the doors as energy efficient as possible, a standard UPVC French door is fitted with double glazed sealed units. To further enhance the performance, the sealed units can be filled with Argon gas and low-emissivity glass can be substituted for standard glass. Some companies are offering triple glazed windows as well but always look for the A+ rated windows as they will be the most energy-efficient available. The UPVC frames themselves are multi-chambered (much like a honeycomb), which also benefits the overall energy efficiency of the door set. If you're interested in making your home more eco-friendly, read our guide
As mentioned previously, uPVC doors are often the most secure set of patio doors on the market. The security of French doors has, in the past, been subject to question. Modern French door designs have addressed previous criticism and can now incorporate security features such as:
1. Multi-point locks that engage at the top, bottom and sides
of the frame.
2. Deadbolts that secure the doors to the top & bottom of the
outer frame.
3. 5 lever mortice key locks on each door leaf.
4. Pinless hinges. 3 sets per door.
5. Internally operated thumb-turn locks (cannot be operated
from the outside).
6. Internally glazed & beaded so the glass cannot be removed
from the outside.
7. Toughened, tempered safety glass.
All these features mean that uPVC French doors are much more secure than their rivals and you can be secure in the knowledge that your doors are just as resilient as your hardwood front door! To make sure you are fully secure, buy a uPVC door with a British Standard PAS 24-1. This means that the door and frame, as well as the locking mechanism, have successfully gone through several physical tests.

Ready to make the move to a green, eco-friendly, sustainable, energy-efficient home? It makes complete sense: Green homes are built using sustainable practices that conserve not only energy, water and other natural resources, but also preserve our environment, strengthen our local economy and promote a better quality of life for those who live there.
Benefits of a Green Home

Did you know that…
Have you ever noticed how much cooler it is in a grove of trees, or even how much more comfortable you feel just hearing the sound of the wind rustling in the leaves? Besides the aesthetic pleasure they give, trees can improve our quality of life in other ways as well.
Because they use carbon dioxide as they grow, trees can offset and even reduce CO2 emissions. If you plant three trees on the southeast and southwest sides of your home, you can cut your air conditioning bills as well as clean up the air and cool the globe. According to American Forests, the nation's oldest citizens' conservation organization, there are at least 100 million spots around our homes and in our towns and cities suitable for trees. When trees shade houses, buildings and pavement from the sun, they help cool down the "heat islands" that build up around pavement and other dark surfaces. "Nature's air conditioners" also help clean up he air, by filtering airborne particles with their leaves and branches.
Trees and the forests they create play a critical role in maintaining the health of our environment. Their root systems prevent erosion and thereby protect water quality. Their leaves filter the air and, through the shade, they cast, reduce global warming. The natural community that develops around forests also helps protect the planet by providing a safe and nurturing environment for all kinds of fish and wildlife.
Unfortunately, forests in this country and around the world are being squeezed by increasing demands for wood and paper. For example, between 50 and 100 acres of tropical rainforest — an area the size of ten city blocks — are destroyed every minute. At that rate, there will be no intact tropical forest left within one hundred years. Forests in North America, particularly the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest, are also under stress.
Many offices and individuals have already begun to address deforestation issues at home and abroad by recycling paper and by buying recycled paper products. Here are a few other actions you might consider to minimize your need for wood:

Could I use this recommended by Dell-Cares, I think it automatically detects missing drivers and installs them all in the correct order? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2EUR3VzZBI&linkId=76645808
"Auto Detect" Is good but has been known to have problems.
"Service Tag" If you are the original owner then you would know of any upgraded hardware.
Meaning if you upgraded the WiFi card, HDD/SSD or installed a WWAN those drivers may not be listed.
"Browse for a Product" You will get the full driver list!!!
Everything that was sold/tested on that model will be listed!!!
I think using the "Service Tag" and the "Order" to install drivers list is the best for most.
Best regards,
U2 obviously knows a good bit about what he is talking about. Just I had problems with the Microsoft media tool that I downloaded from the M$ site. Might be something I did in choosing which drive to install too. I have an M2 and a spinning drive.
All it saves one is doing all the M$ downloads. I think. I don't think that the Windows Recovery partition comes with all that.
I know from experience, that sometimes installing M$ Office can be difficult. Don't feel shy about getting online to the M$ Office support folks. Prove the Office you have is yours, and they will remote your computer, and get it working quite quickly.
I do not recall all of this thread. Usually there is a place in the BIOS/EFI in the MOBO where one can choose, (if the laptop has two drives) whether to use AHCI or RAID. I have chosen AHCI.
Welcome to the Dell Community @purple397
Do you have anything of importance on the HDD???
Can it be formatted and then disconnected???
Try to disconnect the HDD.
Then install W10 to the M.2 SSD. "AHCI set in the BIOS"
After the install and updates are complete connect the HDD.
Boot to Windows and set the HDD as "Default" storage.
Best regards,

Samsung announced the Ultra Smart F700 Touch screen mobile phone with slide-out QWERTY keyboard this week. Taking a quiet minute today admiring the hi-res photos Samsung published of the F700, it came to me that the User interface is similar to the LG Prada phone (see photo).
It is really a strange coincident that Samsung also goes with black background and simple white icons for the application menu on the F700. The LG Prada phone has the same look.
Feature-wise the Samsung F700 leaves the LG Prada phone in the dust with HSDPA, 5MP Camera, Slide-out QUERTY keyboard etc.
The LG Prada measures 115x61x11.6mm. The Samsung Ultra Smart F700 measures 104 x 50 x 16.4mm making it only slightly bigger (~4cm3).
More details of the F700 are to be expected early next week, when Samsung shows the Ultra Smart at the 3GSM show in Barcelona.
See 3 hi-res screen-shots of the Samsung F700 in this gallery.
The Apple iPhone is still able to stand out with its finger tricks and colorful icons, but Apple needs to add 3G at least when it comes out in Europe, else the Samsung F700 is the way to go.

Bangkok taxi operators are preparing to demand another round of fare increase, citing the latest increase of NGV by 50 satang per kilo last week, making a combined increase of 1.50 baht in total. Increase of NGV twice is a cost burden for them, they said.
President of Bangkok Taxi Cooperative Network Mr Witoon Naewpanich revealed that he has discussed another round of taxi fare hike with the director of Land Transportation, after the first 8% rise of taxi fare on December 12 last year already took place.
He said although the fare has been raised by 8 percent the last time, but earning by taxi drivers stayed at 100-120 on average daily while the price of NGV has increased twice, to about 1.50 baht higher.
This prompted taxi drivers to pay around 100-110 baht more per day for NGV gas.
The taxi co-op president stated that he has now presented a document to Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha to reconsider the increase of NGV price or to implement new measures to help alleviate taxi drivers' hardship.
He indicated that taxi driver would demand a 5% increase in fare in the second round.

The Orange Flower is back! We invite content creators to roar for change. Nominate yourself or a friend for awards, and join us at a day-long fest in Mumbai in celebrating women's voices!
The very nature of cancer affects quality of life, in terms of pain and debilitation, and also everyday of the person affected and their family. Palliative care for cancer patients focuses on addressing this.
Palliative care for cancer patients aims to help reduce and eradicate quality of life problems faced by patients and their families through treatment of pain and other physical, psychological and spiritual ailments.
The concept of palliative care is quite new in India; it was first introduced in the mid 1980s. With the aid of committed medical professionals and volunteers, along with the incentives of Government of India and other international organisations, palliative care for cancer patients was introduced in India.
The early initiatives of palliative care for cancer patients were established in the city of Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, and Trivandrum in the late 1980s. The Indian Association of Palliative Care (IAPC), formed in consultation with the WHO and government of India as a national forum to connect individuals and institutes involved in palliative care, was a flagship programme for the development of palliative care for cancer patients in India.
Palliative care focuses more on the care of illness rather than the disease. The treatment encompasses the symptoms along with psycho-social and spiritual problems. Along with enthusiastic individuals devoted to make the concept of palliative care more popular in the country, there are several organizations that are working in this area to make palliative care more accessible to all.
Here are some of those organisations.
With a mission to ensure access to effective pain relief and quality palliative care, since 2003 Pallium India is delivering its efforts to suffering patients and their families. They believe that the patient is the most important consideration as 'care' is the right of the patient and family. It also works in an integrated way with Central and State Governments by integrating palliative care for cancer patients into the health care system. It promises affordable access to essential medicines like morphine and opioids. To work towards the rehabilitation of patients and families, they have established the Trivandrum Institute of Palliative Sciences (TIPS) in Trivandrum, Kerala.
The New York Times has summarized the achievements of Dr. M. R. Rajagopal, the founder of Pallium India in an article titled 'In India, a Quest to Ease the Pain of Dying'.
Find out more at their website.
One of the most effective providers of palliative care for cancer patients in India is the Tata Medical Centre situated in the city of Kolkata. They provide symptomatic management and end-of-life care for patients, motivating them to live their lives to the fullest since 2011. It provides hospital based clinical care as well as emotional support to the cancer patients with enormous compassion. The Times of India has written about this centre in an article titled 'A Place to stay for Cancer Patients'.
Delhites' National Initiative in Palliative Care (DNipCare) is providing promising palliative care for cancer patients since 2008. It was established in Delhi by a group of dedicated young people. It aims at developing sustainable and cost-effective palliative care for patients.
DNipCare believes in 'PRAN' which defines 'Patient Care', 'Rehabilitation', 'Awareness Generation' and 'Network Creation'. Alongside the development of local home care programs, they supply monthly food ration support to poor patients along with psycho-social and medical care. The Hindu, appreciating them wrote, "What is different about this group of dedicated people is that they not only give their time but also provide a human touch through personal visits".
Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC) of Mumbai has brought light of hope to over 15000 patients with the aid of their exemplar palliative care for cancer patients since 1996. A team of doctors, nurses, psychologists and social workers provides free medical and psychological care for patients in their homes. They also furnish emotional support and guidance to members of the family of the patients to help them to deal with the crisis.
Nurse Jyoshna Kalasare of ACTREC told The Indian Express, "These patients are very weak and may suffer from different medical problems. We have to keep regular follow up to ease their pain. That is what palliative care is all about".
Established in 2008, this premier institution for palliative care for cancer patients is located in the heart of Chennai. Focusing on providing relief from the stress of serious illness, it makes life of the patient and their family better with the help of an organised health service. They reach out to the all strata of society offering relief from ailments with the psycho-social care. Their aim is to improve the quality of life of patients rather than quantity. The Hindu reported, "The vision of the trust is to establish an exclusive hospital for palliative, oncological and geriatric care."
The availability of a serene environment at this institution makes palliative care for cancer patients most effective. Sparsh hospice, established in 2011 and situated in Hyderabad, provides that in addition to necessary medical and emotional treatment in the last phases of cancer when there is nothing to do but make the sufferer as relaxed as possible. Their facilities include a modern, 50 bed building in green surroundings, with water bodies and open spaces.
"With a capacity of 12 beds, Sparsh spends about Rs. 3.5 lakh per month to provide food, accommodation and medicines to patients," reports The Hindu.
In association with the Bangalore Hospice Trust, it is a home for terminally ill cancer patients in Bangaluru, the 'Cancer Capital of India' since 1995. They offer in-patient and home care facilities and education and tie up with CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives. They offer education, training and research to improve the application of palliative care for cancer patients.
Livemint acknowledged that "Karunashraya is the only stand-alone hospice in Bengaluru that provides a comprehensive set of services including in-hospice and home care while also running a six-month course to train nursing aides".
Palliative care for gender patients in the north eastern region of India is offered by this Guwahati based institute, with discounted investigation and treatment, and free social and psychological counseling for cancer patients and caregivers since 1958. Their counselling process aims at complete elimination of emotional distress.
The Business Standard has recently announced that it "will be under the management control of Tata Memorial Center for Cancer, Mumbai which would provide healthcare and academic facilities on the same pattern and of the same standard as currently available in the Tata Memorial Center for Cancer, Mumbai."

The NBN rollout is several years into the project; a recently released report from the ACCC has given insights into the wholesale market and initial market indicators show that the market is becoming less competitive. This paper examines the costs of interconnecting with the NBN and demonstrates why the NBN has not achieved its goal of providing a level playing field for all telecommunication companies. By looking at the true cost of providing NBN services to NBN users, it is shown that the NBN pricing model is flawed and will affect the quality of service being provided to Australians.
This paper analyses the value of FTTN and FTTP along financial and non-financial dimensions. It reports on an open, public, dynamic ?value model? of FTTN and FTTP, and showcases two visual tools to enable assessment of their multiple, competing, emerging and slippery ?value dimensions?. The paper reports and compares empirically-derived FTTN and FTTP value dimensions from recent Ministerial Speeches at CommsDay Summit 2016 and Government expert reports with the value model.
On 22 June 2016, Mike Quigley, the founding CEO of NBN Co, gave an address to TelSoc on his insights into, and predictions for, the Australian National Broadband Network (NBN). This article provides a brief summary of his presentation and a commentary on some of the issues raised.
This paper addresses the limitations of the Australian government's new NBN policy (11 December 2014) and proposes some changes in approach which share the objectives of the policy but without compromising access speed. The changes will eliminate the lead-in cost entirely and will introduce infrastructure competition in the long-term interests of end-users. They will accelerate the NBN roll-out and ensure that the national infrastructure is responsive to future technologies, market demands and business opportunities.
In this paper we outline a number of matters that have been raised in relation to Deep-fibre Fibre-to-the-Distribution-Point (FTTdp), and address practical ways that FTTdp can be expected to deliver a maximum overall cost-benefit outcome for the Australian NBN. We conclude that FTTdp must be honestly evaluated if the nation is to achieve a maximal NBN capability outcome.
Australia?s fixed broadband services performance and takeup is continuing to fall behind other comparable countries in international benchmarks. Indecision about the structure of Australia?s broadband market is likely to continue to retard medium to long term investment in the fibre infrastructure needed to improve Australia?s broadband rankings against its international peers.
With the optimistic air of change that has come from a new Prime Minister, this is the time to look at a realistic option for the NBN which accepts on-budget expenditure, establishes a future-proof approach and provides the opportunity for those who want it to pay a realistic amount towards getting connected. Governments build roads, not driveways. So why should we assume anyone building a national telecommunications network should worry about connecting right up to the front door, especially for those who don?t want it.

"What Can We Learn From The Roswell Slides?" by Adam Gorightly
"The only thing we learn from history is that we do not learn." – Chief Justice Earl Warren
"Kodachrome, they give us those nice bright colors..." – Paul Simon
Anyone with even a passing interest in UFOs (or little green men and the Roswell crash) probably knows about—or has at least heard mention of—the Roswell Slides fiasco that went down in Mexico City on May 5th at an event called beWITNESS.
My initial exposure to this twisted tale came courtesy of my chum Nick Redfern in a blog post from 2013 which related what was—as far as I can tell—the first story that surfaced regarding the infamously named Roswell Slides.
In an effort to get my facts straight about what has by now become an immensely convoluted caper, I gave Mr. Redfern a call last weekend to have him help me sort through some of the more sordid details surrounding this story. As Nick recalled:
"Early 2013 was when really nothing was actually known about the slides in the public domain at all—there were a couple of snippets of things that got out, that someone had got images of a dead alien, something along those lines—but there were no names connected to these stories, or any other information.
"Now what happened was that the person who called me was calling from Midland, TX. This person, an elderly gentlemen, basically asked me a question along the lines of what I thought these images or photographs of a dead alien would be worth, and I told him it would first have to be proven that the photograph was authentic before anything else was going to happen. So it was clear the person was trying to insert themselves into the story. In hindsight, I felt they obviously knew something about the slides quite significant because Midland, Texas is where the couple who the slides originated with—Bernard and Hilda Ray—lived. The person who called me gave me the names Bernard and Hilda Ray and what Bernard Ray did for a living and what these slides seemed to show and different things of this nature. He specifically mentioned pictures or images of a dead alien…And there was mention of a blanket, I remember that, there was a mention of part of the body being obscured by something or other, so it was clear to me that he had either seen the photograph or he had very good data given to him as to what the image showed.
"And so when the story first got out that there was this so-called Dream Team investigating the case, I contacted them and said, "Hey, ya know, I've been given a story very similar to what it sounds like you're working on", and they asked me what's the story? And so I explained the nature of the phone call and that it came from Midland, Texas and that it dealt with photos of a dead alien. And when I gave the Dream Team the names of Bernard and Hilda Ray, there was a stunned silence. And so I asked them, "What's going on?" and they said that they had these images and that the names given to me, in early 2013, were actually the names of the people under investigation—Bernard and Hilda Ray—that the Dream Team had been keeping kept under wraps. So whoever this elderly gentleman was, he certainly knew something. Even to this day I don't honestly know who this person was. All I know for sure is that somebody else—we still may not even know who it is—somebody else knew aspects of the story and were trying to get involved as a fixer, you know, as a player or broker in the selling of the slides, and get a percentage. I think it was something along those lines…"
A few months after Nick's mysterious phone call from Midland, Texas, the aforementioned Dream Team appeared on scene; a group of UFO researchers and Roswell Crash enthusiasts that included in its ranks Kevin Randle (author of Roswell Revisited), Don Schmitt and Tom Carey (authors of Witness To Roswell) as well Anthony Bragalia, yet another Roswell Crash believer. It was due to this influence—your humble author would venture—that the story eventually dressed itself in Roswell drag by suggesting that the dead alien—in the much ballyhooed and at this time unseen slides—was the honest to god alien flesh and bones gray skinned ET (or at least one of them) that legend has it crashed and burned at Mac Brazel's ranch on the outskirts of Roswell, New Mexico in July of 1947.
It didn't take long for murmurs and whispers about these slides to begin percolating ever so softly through the Ufological grapevine, a place where the buzzing of a rumor of this nature can whip the natives into a fast frenzy and, before ya knew it, many UFO researchers had worked themselves into a lather about the startling possibility that the literal smoking gun from the Roswell crash had been discovered by a lady named "Cat" or "Cathy". Cat or Cathy—as the story goes—was cleaning out a house for an estate sale in Sedona, Arizona when she discovered a box containing some 400 hundred Kodachrome slides, only later to discover that hidden among the slides were a couple of slides that appeared very strange.
The slides in question had belonged to the same names previously passed along to Nick Redfern, namely Bernard and Hilda Ray. The gist of this story is presented in the trailer to Kodachrome, a film documentary in the works that tells the startling story about these curious slides, and how Bernard Ray—a highly respected geologist and avid photographer—and his charming wife Hilda were globetrotting insiders and close personal friends with Ike Eisenhower as documented (supposedly) by the many slides in the Ray's collection such as Ike waving from the back of a train, as well as such revealing photos as the 1948 U.S. Open Golf Tournament (yes, the U.S. Open Golf Tournament!) and none other than Bing Crosby who we can also assume was well connected to the shadow government because why else would the Rays have a photo of Bing Crosby at the U.S. Open if it wasn't in some way related to MJ-12?? But I digress…
Due to the Ray's highly placed connections to the Super Secret Shadow Government (SSSG), Ike or some other Super Secret Agent (SSA) of the SSSG allowed Bernard and Hilda—as the story goes—to view and photograph the actual dead alien from Roswell at some Super Secret Location (SSL).
I'm not sure exactly when the producer of Kodachrome—a shadowy character named Adam Dew—inserted himself into the story, and perhaps he might have been there from the very beginning, even before the mystery man from Midland rang Redfern in early 2013 asking how much a photo of a dead alien was worth.
At some point the murky Mr. Dew (along with another mystery man named Joseph Beason) formed a partnership of sorts (or an agreement or some type of working relationship) with the Dream Team—and in particular Tom Carey and Don Schmitt. Out of this arrangement emerged the Kodachrome film project and Carey and Schmitt signed some sort of non-disclosure agreements in this regard and due to these agreements there were certain things the Dream Team weren't at liberty to reveal, which included the much vaunted hi rez copies of the slides. It's not even clear if Schmitt or Carey actually saw the hi rez slides until recently at the beWITNESS event—or if they were being strung along by the likes Adam Dew, or by his co-producer Mr. Beason, and maybe even the elderly gentleman from Midland, Texas. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
At some point in 2014 the lo rez version of the slide began making the rounds in the Ufological research community and—while the photo did appear somewhat curious—it was just too darn blurry to determine exactly what was captured in the image, yet this was enough bait to keep reeling everyone in with the prospect that there was a higher rez version that would ultimately reveal—bigger than day—that the supposed dead alien in the photo was indeed the real deal dude from the Roswell crash of yore.
I was pretty much unaware of these developments as they progressed throughout late 2014 into 2015. Yes, I'd read Nick's blog post about his initial mysterious phone call from the elderly middle-man from Midland, but when Roswell became a part of the story, I pretty much dismissed it, because—let's face it—the Roswell angle always seems to get trotted out every few years and attached to any story even remotely hinting at tales of crashed saucers or dead aliens on ice hidden at Hanger 18 or some other Super Secret Lab (SSL) operated by the SSSG.
Roswell is and will remain in the eyes of many the Holy Grail of Ufology and it's only a matter of time, some suggest, until a piece of startling evidence emerges (such as the Roswell Slides!) that will prove once and for all the existence of ETs visiting our planet and that our government has been suppressing this information for well over 6 decades now because we can't handle the truth!
The Roswell Crash scenario, in one form or another, has been haunting Ufology (for good or ill) ever since the modern era of UFOs first spun into our collective craniums back in 1947 starting with Kenneth Arnold's much publicized sighting of "flying saucers" over Mt. Rainier in Washington state. Many researchers—true believers as well the more skeptical alike—do indeed think something significant went down in Roswell, but whether it was actually an ET craft or a secret government project or a mogul weather balloon remains a matter of never ending debate.
New Mexico—as legends suggest—is not only the Land of Enchantment but also a hotbed for crashed saucer stories dating back to the late 1940s, and Roswell was just one among many supposed saucer crash sites where these ETs went down in flames, their dead gray bodies to be afterwards dragged from the memory metal wreckage and then pickled in Super Secret Government Labs (SSGL).
Some speculate that the crashed saucer/dead aliens mythos was a cleverly concocted cover story designed to conceal the actual testing of Top Secret Terrestrial Craft (TSTC) developed as part of a Super Secret Space Program (SSSP), based out of Las Alamos, New Mexico, where many of the ex-Nazi project paperclip rocket scientists landed in the aftermath of World War II and it was there that Nazi anti-grav technology (or some such) was being covertly tested, which ostensibly led to an occasional fuckup in the form of a crash now and then.
All of this, I admit, seems like a rather elaborate smoke screen to conceal the testing of secret terrestrial craft, but Military Government Spooks (MGS) have been known to go to certain extremes as in the case of the disinformation campaign that did a number on Dr. Paul Bennewitz's head in the early 1980s, driving him over the deep end with nightmare visions of Dulce base abductions and sinister space ships inhabiting our skies.
Whether real, imagined or invented, Ufology has a way of perpetuating such myths and of continually breathing life into old stories that have littered UFO lore throughout the years. The first report of a saucer crash in New Mexico (or anywhere else for that matter) came courtesy of journalist Frank Scully in Behind the Flying Saucers published in 1950, which claimed that a saucer piloted by otherworldly midgets had crashed in Aztec, Mexico. Secret Government Scientists (SSG) soon determined that the crashed saucer operated on certain magnetic principles divisible by the number nine that just so happened to coincide with the crashed Aztec saucer's exact dimensions of which were also divisible by the number nine!
Behind the Flying Saucers was later exposed as a fictional flight of fancy and that Scully received much of his bogus information for the story from a couple of con artists named Silas Newton and Leo Gebauer.
Hoaxes of this nature are nothing new in the annals of Ufology and the Roswell Slides appear to be just one more in a long line of such tall tales associated with the purported Roswell Crash, including the infamous Alien Autopsy film from the mid 1990s, which was the granddaddy of all such hoaxes, making beWITNESS look like a game tiddlywinks in comparison.
Another layer of the mythos that has been draped over Roswell (like some sort of holy shroud) concerns President Eisenhower and his supposed knowledge of dead aliens and how this whole affair was related to a Super Secret Government Group (SSSG) known as Majestic 12 (MJ-12), which was originally revealed in a Super Secret Government Document (SSGD) that surfaced courtesy of UFO researcher William "Bill" Moore in the late 1980s, and which was later shown to be as queer as a two dollar bill. Whether it was Moore or someone else who actually faked the document is another story in itself.
It was during this period—thanks to the likes of Moore and his former research partner, Stanton Friedman—that the Roswell story first emerged, at least in terms in reaching a mass audience. Moore—it should be noted—authored the first book on Roswell (aptly titled The Roswell Incident) and later admitted that he had passed along dubious Ufological information about an alien invasion courtesy of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) to the aforementioned Dr. Paul Bennewitz which ultimately caused Bennewitz to go crackers. But I digress….
It should be noted that when Nick Redfern first discussed the alleged dead alien slide business with the elderly middle-man from Midland, this supposed connection to Roswell never once came up in their conversation and it was only after the Dream Team got involved that the magic word was spoken and the duck on the string descended.
Afterwards, a PR campaign was apparently designed around this story (the whole dead alien from Roswell bit), of which the Dream Team and Kodachrome producers planned to roll out in multiple stages, first with the beWITNESS dog and pony show and then subsequent roll outs at forthcoming UFO conferences scheduled for 2015 where the Schmitt and Carey tag team were scheduled to speak and reveal much, much more—all of this to eventually culminate ( I suspect) with the release of the Kodachrome film and related book projects.
The first stage of this Roswell Slide rollout was the beWITNESS event featuring a star studded Ufological cast of characters orchestrated by ringmaster Jaime Maussan that included Roswellists Schmitt and Carey, Kodachome producer Adam Dew, as well as the ever popular Ufologist, Richard Dolan.
Dolan—who is (or was) viewed by many as one of the more credible researchers in the field—was a late addition to the beWITNESS boondoggle and apparently was brought in to add some semblance of credibility to the proceedings. In advance of beWITNESS, Reuters News Service quoted Dolan saying: "Analysis of the body … suggested this is not a mummy and not a human, not a mammal and not a model."
In the subsequent fallout from the beWITNESS brouhaha, Dolan's credibility—at least in the eyes of some observers—has taken a bit of a hit. Shortly afterwards, Dolan took to the airwaves on his internet radio show to present his side of the story. To this end, Dolan minimized his role in beWITNESS, explaining how it'd all been a last minute invite and that he based his endorsement of the Roswell slide on a limited set of evidence.
Dolan also stated that he owed no apology for his involvement in beWITNESS, an apparent response to the immediate outcry that the heads of the Roswell Slide promoters should roll and that Dolan should be included in this bloodletting even though Dolan was really just a bit player who most likely got roped into it against his better judgment.
I can only assume that Dolan based his initial statement to Reuters on information gleaned from Dream Team members and/or Adam Dew to the effect that "experts" had verified the slides and—going on faith—Dolan just repeated the party line that the something or other pictured in the slide was the honest to god real deal dead alien from Roswell.
One persistent question surrounding the lo rez slide—which had been available for several months leading up to the beWITNESS event—concerned a placard positioned in front of one of the dead alien's legs. According to the Dream Team and Kodachrome producers—as well as beWITNESS promoter Jaime Maussan—expert photographic analysis determined that the writing on the placard was indecipherable.
In the immediate aftermath of beWITNESS, a hi rez image of the Roswell slide was leaked to a group of researchers identified as the Roswell Slide Research Group (RSRG).
Over the last several months, the RSRGer's had been examining the Roswell Slides from behind the scenes and once they finally had the hi rez version at their disposal, members of the group were able to (within the short span of 72 hours) de-blur the supposedly indecipherable placard using a free software program which revealed that the writing on it said:
At the time of burial the body was clothed in a xxx-xxx cotton
shirt. Burial wrappings consisted of these small cotton blankets.
Loaned by the MR. Xxxxxx, San Francisco, California
This idea that the so-called alien was really a mummy was something that many who had viewed the lo rez slide suspected all along, however it was such a lousy image it was impossible to conduct a thorough analysis, this in addition to the resounding statements provided by the Dream Team and Kodachrome producers insisting they had hard evidence to support their claim that the photo was indeed that of an dead alien.
In response to the placard de-blur, Nick Redfern had this to say when I spoke to him the other day:
"The problem I had with the slide, and the whole situation is this: I got the call early 2013. Now it's midway through 2015, and when the Dream Team became public knowledge that still gave them a couple of years to investigate the nature of the slides and what they showed, and even by the time of the event in Mexico we're told that it's an alien that will be presented. But here's the biggest irony: within 72 hours of that hi rez image being shown to the world the whole thing collapsed, it was all cleared up within 72 hours. The event was on a Tuesday and by Friday, it was pretty much game over. And then you had Tony Bragalia's apology, and you had Don Schmitt's apology, with both of them accepting that it was a mummy shown in the slide. So my thing is this: The reason it collapsed after 72 hours is because we finally had access to the hi rez image and you could tell that it looked far more mummy-like than it did in the original lo rez image that had circulated and also on the back shelf behind it you can see what looks like an animal head—like a wolf or a bear or something like that—clearly making it obvious that this was some kind of museum or display. So my question is why wasn't anybody able to resolve this in the 2 to 3 years in which the hi rez image was being withheld? Why couldn't it have been proven by them [The Dream Team] that it was clearly just a museum display, then we wouldn't have had this fiasco of putting on an event in Mexico, charging people and then days later it all falling apart…"
It wasn't long after the release of the placard de-blur that Dream Team members started jumping ship. The first out of the chutes was Anthony Bragalia who agreed with the conclusions of the RSRG that the alien in the slide was a mummy that at one time or another had been on display at a museum in Mesa Verde, Colorado where it was originally photographed by Bernard Ray.
A short time after the placard de-blur, Kodachrome producer Adam Dew fired the first salvo in response to the RSRG, claiming that the placard de-blur was actually a fake! In other words, Dew claimed that the RSRG had doctored the photo and made up the text about the alien (or whatever it is) being a mummy. Around this same time, Dew updated his website by adding the hi rez image of the placard, which of course was indecipherable. Ironically, this was a stroke of good fortune for the RSRG, as in short order they were also able to download and de-blur this hi rez version of the placard straight from the horse's mouth, once again demonstrating the same thing they'd accomplished with the leaked image of the slide: that the placard indicated it was a mummy boy.
Afterwards, the RSRG produced a couple of youtube vids showing the step-by-step process used in their de-blur process so anyone could try it for themselves, which in turn led to a growing number of UFO researchers doing their own de-blur and achieving the same results as had the RSRG.
Adam Dew's statement about the RSRG faking the placard de-blur was removed from the Kodachrome site a couple days after he posted it, which suggests that Dew thought better about making such an outrageous claim at the same time that so many others were independently confirming that the RSRGer's de-blur results were, in fact, legit. Curiously enough, I remembered previously seeing some biographical info on Mr. Dew on the Kodachrome site but that also seems to have vanished, so perhaps he's trying to make himself scarce all of the sudden.
I've recently learned that Dew's partner, the mysterious Mr. Beason, is the brother of "Cat" or "Cathy" (full name Catherine Beason) the gal who allegedly discovered the Roswell Slides, which at this point we can probably quit referring to by that name, as it appears that the only thing Roswell has to do with any of this is, well, nothing at all.
Dream Teamer Tom Carey was next to issue a mea culpa, but oddly enough decided to parrot Adam Dew's claim that the RSRG's placard de-blur was quite possibly a fake.
Next came the most carefully crafted apology from the bunch courtesy of Don Schmitt in what he referred to as his "final statement", which of course gives the impression that Schmitt has no plans to discuss the matter further. Schmitt—to his credit—opted not to extend the silly claim that the RSRG had faked the placard de-blur, which would do nothing more than dig a deeper hole for the likes of he and his Dream Team compatriots.
Of course it's easy in retrospect to take pot shots at the Dream Team after it all went down in flames, but granted they made themselves easy targets by claiming that they'd done their "due diligence" in determining that—at the very least—there was something truly significant about these slides which, in the final analysis, proved to be a whole lot of nothing.
Apologies are all well and good, but in this instance they seem a rather hollow attempt to say: "Hey, we admit our mistake, but it's now over and done and time to move on." Apologies—in the minds of some—help bring closure and resolution and that "Yeah, well, we sorta screwed up, although we don't really want to talk about that too much, except to say that we're sorry and we'll make sure it never happens again."
Such apologies don't cut it with some of the more vociferous members in the UFO research scene who—if they had their druthers—would prefer to see the Dream Teamers cut off at the legs and never allowed to attend any future UFO conferences or profit from anything related to UFOs and be forever blackballed from the hallowed halls of Ufology.
However, I have an alternative that would put a positive spin on this whole debacle and at the same time move Ufology a few steps forward—after the backward missteps it took that led to the beWITNESS train wreck.
As Don Schmitt is slated to speak at Contact in the Desert on the weekend of May 29-31—and both Carey and Schmitt at the Roswell Festival in July—these events would provide the perfect forum to discuss the "Lessons Learned" from the beWITNESS and Roswell Slides affair and allow the principals involved to explain how they arrived at the erroneous conclusion (or at least the working theory) that they actually had photographic evidence of a dead alien so that future UFO researchers can avoid the same pitfalls to which the Dream Team fell victim.
This would include an explanation of the Dream Team's investigatory process—or lack thereof—and exactly what materials they provided to the experts who conducted the photo analysis and, in turn, what documentation these experts returned to the Dream Team that apparently confirmed, in their minds at least, that the little guy in the photo was an alien.
This type of transparency would instruct the UFO community on how these mistakes were made and greatly assist future Ufologists in adopting a more sound methodology to avoid future fiascos of this nature.
Many in Ufology these days, and in particular those who are Roswell Crash loyalists, are keen to the idea that the Government needs to come clean with UFO Disclosure and release any and all classified information pertaining to the reality of ETs visiting our planet—assuming, of course, that such information exists to any great degree.
I would submit the Ufology—such as it is—should be held to the same standards they expect from the government in terms of disclosure in the case of purported evidence of ETs, and that the Dream Team members—in the true spirit of transparency—provide similar disclosure in regards to the Roswell Slides case and identify the Who, What, When, Why, Where and How this all went down as an instruction manual for future Ufologists to avoid these same pitfalls.
While it seems the Dream Team has pretty much thrown in the towel, beWITNESS impresario Jaime Maussan is sticking to his guns and is, in fact, going on the offensive now insisting that the mummy in the slide really is an alien after all and that the message on the placard was some type of disinfo PsyOp perpetrated by those diabolical RSRGers, a theory presented by Linda Moulton Howe—in tandem with our man Maussan—in a recent episode of Whitley Strieber's Dreamland that had my brain all but oozing out my ears.
Some would see such saber rattling on Maussan's part as mere deflection, but I view it as more a way to keep his strange UFOtainment train careening madly along the tracks. Surreally enough, the Jaimester's strategy seems like a sound one in this regard, that if you inject enough nonsense into the argument then it will all eventually fizzle out or—conversely—Maussan can use all of this noise to promote future world shattering events to further fleece the rubes.
All of these antics on the part of Mr. Maussan—and supported by Howe and Strieber to some extent—seem like a desperate attempt to polish the proverbial turd that got dropped in the beWITNESS punchbowl. Whatever the case, it's kind of hard to keep up with Maussan because he's all over the map with some his comments, such as a recent twitter tweet where he is offering the whopping sum of "5 thousand dollars reward to the person who presents a new image of the beWITNESS and 10 thousand dollars" to whoever leads him to the body.
A couple days prior to the beWITNESS event, Nick Redfern posited that the Roswell Slide alien may, in fact, have been a mummy on display in years past at the Million Dollar Museum in White City, New Mexico.
Linda Howe of late has latched on to this Million Dollar Museum angle and flipped it on its ear, suggesting on this recent episode of Dreamland that there actually was an alien on display at the Million Dollar Museum in years past (the museum closed in 2008) and how she's hot on the trail of tracking down this supposed dead alien body (presumably in the prospect of pocketing Maussan's $10,000 cash reward.) Howe's dead alien, however, is different from the beWITNESS creature—as she giddily explained to Strieber—noting that in old photos of the little guy in his display case at the Million Dollar Museum, there was a ruler beside the body which clearly measured the creature as twelve inches in length, as opposed to the beWITNESS body which was three to three and half feet in length.
In response to Howe's staggering assertion that this former Million Dollar Museum exhibit was "the oddest, strangest, most alien body I personally have seen in my 36 years in trying to get to the bottom of all this," Strieber exclaimed: "This is the most extraordinary interview I've had in the history of Dreamland! Between the two of you, you've ended up with two alien bodies! Instead of one fake, we've ended up with two real ones!"
It just goes to show that you can't keep a good dead alien down.
To be continued…
10 Responses to ""What Can We Learn From The Roswell Slides?" by Adam Gorightly"
According to my quick and lazy research, the Million Dollar Museum was visited in 1997 by a German film crew who were doing a story on the 50th Anniversary of the Roswell crash and it was the Germans who suggested to the owners of the museum that the little figure/ mummy they had looked like an alien. The owners quickly changed the placard indicating a Native American mummy to text that read "alien body?" and credited the "German press" with the suggestion.
This mess sounds like it's only getting worse.
Whilst I agree with maintaining a certain level of skepticism regarding the slides, I also wonder if they, like Richard Shaver's pictorial rocks, etc., may function as a (in this case unconscious) magical talisman, a 'fascinator object', that when concentrated on brings some form of 'answer' to the UFO Question, even if that answer is to simply wonder much and deeper about the subject? Such fascinator objects are more suited to the general public I suppose, not seasoned investigators.
I am writing to say you have written the most thorough examination of the May 5th Slide Sting I have found so far. Nick Redfern nailed it early on, but you have provided the exact history and context. We do need to learn from this, but probably we as a community of UFO researchers won't. Two ideas from your article stand out: 1) We do need to demand the same standards from each other that we are demanding from the Government 2) Maussan's insistence that there is anything even remotely ET about the sllides at this point is precisely what you termed it: "That if you inject enough nonsense into the argument then it will all eventually fizzle out or—conversely—Maussan can use all of this noise to promote future world shattering events to further fleece the rubes." I am very sad that MUFON is giving him even more by providing an allegedly "scientific" forum for his schemes. I can't help but see this from years of dealing with criminal fraud as a law enforcement officer and government investigator. The perps thrive in confusion and ambiguity; they are so adamant in their insistence that no one says "The Emperor has no clothes." He got my $15 too because I was morbidly curious.
So, does Nick think the man who contacted him was Cathy Beason's brother, Dew's partner in Slidebox Media? To me it seems the most plausible scenario.

On February 23rd, 2019 I had the privilege to take what is my 400th flight, excluding two Cessna flights in Temploux, a balloon trip across the Walloon Brabant, and countless jumps and falls . Coincidentally, first flight back on December 10th, 1983 was also heading to the Canary Islands and this trip was only the second one heading that direction.
Booking with TUI Belgium is a breeze even if their website isn't as intuitive and friendly as Transavia's. Expect a report on Transavia between Amsterdam and Beirut in the future ! I was travelling with the kids so I decided to order meals as part of the booking process. Seats couldn't be selected at the time of booking and had to be added as options closer to departure. I opted for seats 7A, B & C on all legs, resorting to the aisle while the kids hog the window. I was hogging the window back in 1983 when I was the kid.
We checked-in online and strictly respected the 10kg hand luggage policy (2 cabin trolleys and 1 backpack), there was no queue at departures and we got to terminal A waiting for gate info in less than 15 mins from drop off. We had left home less than 10 mins before, one of the good sides of living between the airport and the city it serves.
Flight Details
1. One new airline and one new type in one go! TUI operates the Boeing 737-MAX-8 since last year and I got lucky to get the new type on all flight segments. The cabin is very nice, especially the new bins à la wide-body Boeing (Sky Interior) and the mood lighting. Seats are spaced reasonably at 30" intervals. One notable difference is that the bathroom smell never invaded the cabin although there was a constant queue of rather senior citizens from takeoff to landing on all segments. All seats have a USB power port, a nice feature, but there are no individual entertainment screens. Alas, we folder our iPad covers and they fit nicely in the "Literature Only" upper back seat pockets allowing us to watch downloaded Netflix content.
Code: Select all
The flight departed 1/2h late due to the late morning long haul departures queue and we landed 1/2h late in Lanzarote as a result. The flight was uneventful and the ride very quiet and comfortable. The Leap engine made a distinct unfamiliar high pitch noise at take off power and calmed down after gaining some altitude and throttling back. The mood lighting was set to sky blue for takeoff and landing. Landing was very smooth as well and we were requested to show boarding passes on exit as the plane was proceeding to Gran Canaria. TUI offers some sort of deluxe service where front seated passengers (no empty middle seat) are offered some bubbles, a newspaper, and on this flight a hot meal. We received our cold booked meal, a poured drink, tea or coffee service and another poured drink later in the flight. You don't know what the meal will be which can be difficult with teens (the child meal was welcome) so buy on board might actually be a better option for some.
2. An even newer MAX for our return trip (Yankee). We had checked in online and had the same luggage so we skipped the long queue at the TUI desk and brisked thru security checks. It's important to note however that the customs officer removed the few volcanic rock samples the kids had collected, it seems they are protected. Or maybe if it's for safety reasons, what if we schemed to overpower the crew! Yet we were allowed to keep our smaller green olivine rocks, which packed in a pouch would be as effective a weapon. The short hop between the islands took 20 mins, leaving ACE heading North, taking a right turn to head South, exceeding FUE, taking another right turn to head North, and landing. Passengers disembarking at FUE were requested to show their boarding pass on exit. We didn't have to exit the plane during the stop and were asked to unfasten our seat belts while refuelling the aircraft.
3. We left FUE on time and heading North-North East towards Belgium. The flight was similar to the going leg, except for some minor turbulence over the Atlantic. This time the mood lighting was set to salmon orange for takeoff and landing. We landed in Brussels on time and were out of the airport in as little time as we needed to get in. And then back home in 15 mins due to the peak hour traffic.
In all, these were good flights with a good airline aboard a very nice aircraft and I recommend the option. With advanced booking and a slow week it didn't cost more than 700€ for 1 adult, 1 teen and 1 child including hand luggage, booked meals and seat reservations. Travelling light is probably key to making it such as pleasant experience.
Questions and comments welcome!

Over one hundred knowledgeable representatives from the legal and paralegal fields; the Judiciary; law schools; professionals in the aging, disability, caregiving, and health networks; state and local governments; and consumers were identified from across the State as the Initiative's consulting Think Group.
The Think Group convened for an all-day work session. The Group was divided into 10 work groups, at which the members drew upon their own experiences, training, and expertise to suggest strategies, steps, policies, and activities that would advance the Initiative's goals.
The 10 work groups' substantial output was compiled and organized into a practical resource entitled, Think Group Report—Strategies for Action: Advancing the Legal Services Initiative's Goals, which the Think Group submitted to the Initiative's Partnership members.
The Initiative's Partnership, together with Think Group members and other interested individuals and organizations, will use the findings from the Report of Findings: Seven Statewide Surveys and the Think Group Report as a resource for considering strategies to increase the availability, affordability, and accessibility of legal assistance for older adults, people of all ages with disabilities, and caregivers.

Dancouga - Super Beast Machine God (超獣機神ダンクーガ Chōjū Kishin Dankūga ) is a super robot anime television series. (The English name chosen by the Japanese companies is "God Bless The Machine Dancouga", but the US release uses a literal title translation.) The show ran for 38 episodes from 4 April 1985 to 17 December 1985 and was produced by Ashi Productions (also known for their work in the Dorvack series). After the TV series ended, a number of OVAs were created. Juusenki Tai Songs featured music videos of the various theme and insert songs from the series to TV series footage. The 1986 OVA Requiem for Victims featured a recap of the television series and a newly-animated conclusion to the story. Additionally, there was a 1987 sequel OVA (often mislabeled a movie by American fans because it was animated in widescreen) God Bless Dancouga. In 1989 the four-part Blazing Epilogue OVA series presented a new sequel.
A show called Dancouga Nova (directed by Dancouga's original mecha designer, Masami Obari) began airing in Japan in March of 2007. However, it appears to be related to the series in name and mechanical design only, the overall plot bearing no apparent direct connection to the original and seeming to fans as more of a third season to Obari's Gravion than a successor to its namesake.
The series debutted in 4th Super Robot Wars.

You may have noticed it on the streets already, but the 70s are back in a big way this summer. (Um, did they ever leave?) During these warm months, fashion is energetic, bold, and all about you.Here, we're breaking down six of the coolest summer 2015 trends — and recommending a heel to go with each one, because we just can't help ourselves.
Long, billowing gowns were seen at Alberta Ferretti, Etro, and Chloé's S/S 2015 runway shows. Designers typically paired dresses like these with strappy sandals, but if you're hoping to take the look to the office, opt for a knee-length dress and stay professional — while lightly echoing the 70s — by wearing a shoe with a slight platform. Our pick? The Paris pump in the color of your choosing.
It's not just for soldiers anymore. Khaki popped up on this season's runways at Mark Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, and Sonia Rykiel, among others. Chanel paired a suede khaki outfit with a gold shoe, which plays nicely off the earthy tones of the clothing. When you take this trend out, we recommend pairing it with the Arianna heel in Starry Gold Nappa.
Utilitarian jumpsuits that managed to remain cool and flattering were all over the runways at Dior, Pucci, and Ralph Lauren. Pair your sleekest jumpsuit with a high heel in matte black — like the Paris pump in Twilight Black Nappa — to keep the look classic and sharp, not plumber-esque.
You may not own a yacht — yet! — but you certainly can dress like a woman who owns one. Sharp navy coats, dresses, and suits with bright brass buttons were seen at Lanvin, Chloé, and Marc Jacobs. Wear them with our Paris pump in shiny Midnight Blue Patent to keep your outfit ship-shape from head to toe.
Short, sparkly dresses were spotted at Saint Laurent and Isabel Marant, perfect for your next late-late-late night out. To avoid looking like an actual disco ball, avoid metallic shoes when opting for a shiny dress, and try a complimentary pop of color instead. For a gold dress, go for the Arianna heel in Red Python Nappa, while silver dresses are lovely with blue, like the Paris pump in Midnight Blue Patent. Bonus: our heels are comfy enough to dance in all night.
Ethereal skirts and dresses glided down the runways at Giorgio Armani, Valentino, and Alberta Ferretti, inspired by the grace and beauty of classical dance. Don't try to fight these shades of blush and cream with a contrasting shoe; instead, pair your ballet-inspired outfit with something equally soft and lovely, like the Paris pump in a matte Blush Nude Nappa.
Whatever summer trend you follow, be sure to get the heels to match. Shop our collection of pumps today!

"Further Sunrises... Farther Sunsets..."
Often we pause and linger, as the sun slowly wanders,
On its' own trails across the wide open sky...
It welcomes us and greets us, always just where we are at.
Then embraces us with both warmth and direction.
It seems to awake very often, much like we do.
Then much later goes off to rest as we need as well.
Each first arising moment, always feels like new energetic beginnings.
The other quiet time of setting invites such emotions of completion...
After so many years out on adventures,
At times I assume that the best ones have already been shared.
But these last seasons have reminded me once more,
Of the forever possible moments truly yet to be enjoyed.
Amidst the beauty and the wonder,
Of unfolding further sunrises.
Within the gentle smiles and awe,
Along with a farther inspiring sunset.
Sunrises are such eternally natural gifts provided for us.
Sunsets then reflect the inherent gratitude we then always feel..... DSD
Dedicated to those who create such amazing images, from within their own grand adventures, and who then share them with us all. My sincere appreciation my Friends.

A stochastic multi-regional model for Italian population projections
Francesco C. Billari, University of Oxford
Gianni Corsetti, Istituto Nazionale di Statistica (ISTAT)
Rebecca Graziani, Università Bocconi
Marco Marsili, Istituto Nazionale di Statistica (ISTAT)
Eugenio Melilli, Università Bocconi
In this work we show the results that emerge from the first attempt to produce expert-based stochastic regional forecast of the Italian population for the period 2013-2065. We apply the method proposed by Billari et al. (2012), where the full probability distribution of forecasts is specified on the basis of expert opinions on future developments of the main components of the demographic change. In particular, we derive the joint forecast distribution of the pair Total Fertility Rate and Immigration, and of the pair Male and Female Life Expectancies at. The forecast distributions of Emigration and Mean Age at Birth are derived separately. The conditional elicitation procedure makes it possible to elicit from experts information on the future marginal behaviour of a single indicator in terms of expected value, variability and correlations. We designed a questionnaire according to such elicitation procedure and submitted it online to thirty Italian demographers (Billari et al., 2013) on the future national trend. The aim of this work is to asses this stochastic methodology in the framework of the so-called "multiregional model". The forecast of future regional trends of the above mentioned demographic indicators is derived in a framework of convergence scenario of the Italian regions towards the mean expert-based forecasts. It is also assumed that the relative variability and the correlations between indicators are constant across regions and equal to those derived at the national level from application of the elicitation procedure. Twenty-one regional forecast probabilistic distributions are so obtained for each summary indicator. Also internal migration are forecasted following a probabilistic approach by using a multiregional matrix. Finally 2,000 samples are drawn out from the corresponding multivariate distributions, so to obtain, in a simulation based approach, the forecasts of the population sizes (by age and sex) for the twenty-one Italian regions.

The Way We Were
Copyright © 2007 Invergordon off the Wall
To view other photographs of the 'Way We Were' mural click here
Artist Steve des Landes worked with the Invergordon Business Association to create the design for the High Street Mural.
Earlier in the year Invergordon off the Wall in partnership with the Invergordon Business Association and the Naval and Heritage Museum Board held a reminiscence event which was very well attended.
Everybody seemed to be steeped in nostalgia remembering times gone by.
Steve was there to gather information and find out what the local people envisaged for the mural. From talking to people Steve's idea began to take shape. His distinctive style put a new twist on the High Street.
Many names were put forward from the Business Association for the mural but 'The Way We Were' said it all and was the overall choice.

Mainstream media commentators, even among the conservative mainstream, have declared that war is underway in the GOP. Republicans, they say, are in a life and death struggle for the heart of soul of the Party. These commentators, even on Fox, have warned that continuing such a war will all but doom their election chances in November. One observer on Fox stated today, Feb. 29, that continuing this war will not only doom the GOP's chances for the presidency but may also insure that they lose both the U.S. Senate and the House. Maybe, but maybe not. One poll in particular, published today, Feb. 29, shows that Trump may beat Hillary in the state of New York. And in politics you must win to influence the heart and soul of your Party.
For example, some within the GOP do not take such a morbid point of view, at least not when it comes to Trump. Many conservatives welcome the opportunity to debate not only when it comes to declared candidates but to call attention to the Party's tendency at times to stray from its ideals. Engaging in the battle to preserve those ideals is an important part of the process and offers a clear alternative to the Democrats.
One of the best role models for this mode of operation was William F. Buckley, who not only laid the philosophical foundation for conservatism in the second half of the 20th century but worked to prevent that conservatism from being usurped by extremists who would hurt the movement rather than help. This applied to ultra extremist conservatives as well as liberals or even moderates whom Buckley viewed as a distinct danger because of their tendency to appear outwardly as appealing and innocuous. The two examples of the Buckley way that are often cited are his decision to throw the John Birch Society out of the movement, and to withdraw his endorsement of Richard Nixon in his 1972 bid for reelection. But Buckley could be most accommodating to some of those in the movement with whom he disagreed.
In a display of consistency with its past, the magazine National Review, founded by Buckley, did a thorough cover story on the reasons it would not endorse Donald Trump. Senior Editor Rich Lowry took heavy criticism from some members of his own Party over the snub of Trump. But whether one agrees with the decision or not, Lowry was well within the Buckley tradition when he made it clear that National Review would not and could not endorse a candidate like Trump. In the past Lowry has also accommodated some candidates who did not quite live up to conservative ideals.
Trump, however, at least appears to be a man in transition. When the staunch southern conservative Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., endorsed Trump, a story leaked out that Trump was privately being coached by Sessions. If this is the case, then perhaps Trump is sincere when he says some of his views have changed. But such a thing can also show that Trump sought out someone like Sessions in order to give the impression he had become a thoroughgoing conservative when he may not have changed anything at all. Only Trump knows the answer to that question, and his answer may mean the difference between victory and defeat for the Republicans in November.

OSIS Augmentation & Relief Sewer Tunnel
- Infrastructure
- Water, Sewage & Waste Disposal
- Columbus, OH
Case assisted in completion of the OARS tunnel project, which helped Columbus reduce the environmental impacts caused by Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs).
The project
The OSIS Augmentation and Relief Sewer (OARS) tunnel project was designed to collect and consolidate combined overflows from the Olentangy Scioto Interceptor Sewer (OSIS) and convey the combined flows to the Jackson Pike and Southerly wastewater treatment plants for biological treatment. The project consisted of two phases and was developed to provide adequate capacity for all storms in a single year.
The solution
Case Foundation was awarded the work for phase two of the OARS project. Phase two consisted of two additional 30 foot inner diameter access shafts (Shafts 4 and 5) and a 10 foot inner diameter drop shaft (Shaft 3). Installation of the secant piles was accomplished using two BG 40 rigs equipped with 1180 millimeter tools to install piles to a depth of up to 65 feet keyed into bedrock shale. Concrete was placed using a tremie pipe and reinforcement was installed in every other pile and was designed as wide flange soldier piles.
