Product description & features
The Pirelli P Zero is an ultra high performance tyre selected as original equipment (OE) on some of the world's premium cars - including the Ferrari 599 GTB, Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT, Audi Quattro R8 and Mercedes S-Class AMG.
The P Zero tread pattern features three solid central ribs which work to optimise the contact area between the road and tyre - delivering a reliable braking performance and ensured grip at high speeds. The tyre also contains three wide longitudinal grooves which collect and disperse surface water from the path of the tyre quickly - helping to reduce the risk of aquaplaning in wet conditions.
Pirelli have constructed the P Zero with a striking asymmetric pattern to deliver an even wear and lower noise levels, to help aid in a comfortable driving experience.
Self supporting Run Flat version also available.

IJCAI-ECAI-2018 Call for papers
Click here to view information from text file.
The Program Committee of the 27th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-ECAI-18), joint with the the 23rd European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, invites the submission of technical papers for the main technical track of the conference which will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, from July 13th to July 19th, 2018. Submissions are invited on significant, original, and previously unpublished research on all aspects of artificial intelligence. All papers will receive mindful and rigorous reviews. For nearly a half-century, IJCAI has remained the premier conference bringing together the international AI community to communicate the advances and celebrate the achievements of artificial intelligence research and practice. It is a highly-referenced conference that will provide authors with useful critical feedback. ECAI, which has been running every two years since 1982, has become the leading conference for this field in Europe. This is the first time that IJCAI and ECAI are joint. With the current explosive interest in AI and its applications, this conference is guaranteed to provide an exciting forum to present and hear about cutting-edge research in AI.
IJCAI-ECAI 2018 welcomes submissions across all areas of AI. The conference scope includes all subareas of AI, including (but not limited to) traditional topics such as machine learning, search, planning, knowledge representation, reasoning, constraint satisfaction, natural language processing, robotics and perception, and multiagent systems. We expressly encourage work that cuts across technical areas and/or integrated capabilities. We encourage all types of contributions including theoretical, engineering and applied. We also encourage papers on AI techniques in the context of novel application domains, such as security, sustainability, health care, transportation, and commerce.
The special theme of IJCAI-ECAI-18 is the evolution of the contours of AI. There will be a corresponding special track with a specific call for papers.
- Abstract submission deadline: January 25, 2018 (11:59PM UTC-12)
- Paper submission: January 31, 2018 (11:59PM UTC-12), extended until Friday, Feb 2, 2018 (11:59PM UTC-12)
- Rebuttal period: March 19-23, 2018
- Notification of acceptance/rejection: April 16, 2018
Information about camera ready deadlines will be provided to authors at a later date.
- Submission Site: http://ijcai2018.confmaster.net
- Formatting Guidelines, LaTeX Styles and Word Template: http://www.ijcai.org/authors_kit
Submitted papers must be formatted according to IJCAI guidelines and submitted electronically through the IJCAI-ECAI-18 paper submission site. Full instructions including formatting guidelines and electronic templates are available on the IJCAI-ECAI-18 website. Submissions must be in electronic form using the IJCAI-ECAI-18 paper submission software linked above. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference to present the work. Authors will be required to agree to this requirement at the time of submission. The paper title, author names, contact details, and a brief abstract must be submitted electronically by January 25, 2018 (11:59 UTC-12). All papers are due electronically on January 31, 2018 (11:59 UTC- 12). Submissions received after the deadline or that do not meet the length or formatting requirements will not be considered for review (see the paper length and format section below). No email or fax submissions will be accepted. Notification of receipt of an electronically submitted paper will be emailed to the designated contact author soon after receipt. The designated author will be notified by email about acceptance or rejection by April 16, 2018. Authors will also be able to respond to preliminary reviews during the dates March 19-23. Guidelines for such responses, along with details of the reviewing process will be posted on the IJCAI-ECAI- 18 website.
When submitting their abstract, authors will be required to choose content area keywords. General categories should only be used if specific categories do not apply or do not accurately reflect the main contributions. The full list of keywords will be available on the submission site.
IJCAI-ECAI-18 will not accept any paper that, at the time of submission, is under review for, has already been published in, or has already been accepted for publication in, a journal or another venue with formally published proceedings. As a rule of thumb, authors should regard any publication with an ISBN or ISSN as a formal publication. Authors are also required not to submit their papers to venues with formal publication during the IJCAI-ECAI-18 review period. These restrictions are not intended to apply to workshops and similar specialized presentations with a limited audience and without published proceedings. Authors will be required to confirm that their submissions conform to these requirements at the time of submission. Multiple submission is grounds for immediate rejection of the submitted paper.
IJCAI-ECAI 2018 allows all submitted papers to be submitted to another conference from April 12 onwards. This will not be considered a double submission by IJCAI-ECAI 2018. However we require that if you paper is accepted to IJCAI-ECAI 2018, it should be withdrawn immediately from the other conference.
All submissions will be treated in strict confidence until the publication date.
All people involved in the IJCAI-ECAI-18 review process adhere to the IJCAI conflict of interest policy. Details can be found at http://ijcai.org/.
Papers will be subject to double blind peer review in which the reviewers do not know the author's identity. In order to make blind reviewing possible, authors must omit their names and affiliations from the paper. Also, while the references should include all published literature relevant to the paper, including previous work of the authors, it should not include unpublished work (papers that are accepted and are made available online by the publisher can be cited). When referring to one's own work, use the third person rather than the first person. For example, say "Previously, Foo and Bar [7] have shown that…", rather than "In our previous work [7] we have shown that…". Such identifying information can be added back to the final camera-ready version of accepted papers. Similarly, reviewers should not reveal their identities within the paper reviews. Selection criteria include originality of ideas, correctness, clarity, significance of results and quality of presentation. IJCAI main track will have a four-tier program committee, with the program chair, area chairs, senior program committee members, and program committee members. The review process will include the opportunity for authors to see the reviews of their papers and to respond to technical questions raised by the reviewers before discussion starts within the Program Committee. The decision of the Program Committee will be final and cannot be appealed.
Submitted technical papers must be no longer than seven pages in total: six pages for the main text of the paper (including all figures but excluding references), and one additional page for references. Note that the references page can only include references. For accepted papers, up to two additional pages may be purchased at an additional cost per page, but note that at the time of submissions, papers should adhere to the guidelines above: 6 pages for main text plus one page for references. Papers must be formatted according to posted IJCAI-ECAI-18 guidelines, which will be available on the conference website (the style will be essentially that of previous IJCAI conferences). Electronic templates for the LaTeX typesetting package, as well as a Word template, that conform to IJCAI-ECAI-18 guidelines will be made available at the conference website. Final camera-ready versions will be formatted according to the publisher's instructions. Authors are required to submit their electronic papers in PDF format. Files in Postscript (ps) or any other format will not be accepted. Over-length papers will be rejected without review. Submissions must be self-contained; IJCAI-ECAI-18 will not accept any supplementary materials other than those specified in the paragraph 'RESUBMISSIONS OF SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED AAAI-18 Submissions' below.
This year IJCAI-ECAI-18 is enforcing a strict submission limit. Each individual author is limited to no more than 10 submissions to IJCAI-ECAI-2018. The list of authors provided at submission time is final. Authors may not be added to, or removed from, papers following submission. (However, author ordering may still be changed.) Also, by submitting a paper to IJCAI-ECAI-18, authors must acknowledge that they will do their best to contribute in some way to the review process, if asked to.
RESUBMISSIONS OF SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVED AAAI-18 Submissions
Authors of declined AAAI-18 submissions may submit substantially improved versions to IJCAI-ECAI-18. At the discretion of the authors, the resubmission can be accompanied by all three of the following, as a single file: a cover letter that explains how the revised submission addresses the comments of the AAAI-18 reviewers, the AAAI-18 paper, and the full AAAI-18 reviews. These documents, as a single file, will be submitted as additional material in the corresponding field in the submission system. Cover letters will be taken into consideration in the IJCAI-ECAI-18 review process.

Please send all enquiries about the technical program to the IJCAI-ECAI-18 Program Chair, Jérôme Lang, at the email address email@example.com

EBOOK - Mastering Endgame Strategy
Following his highly acclaimed Mastering Chess Strategy and Mastering Opening Strategy, this book completes a trilogy of strategy books by Grandmaster and renowned chess teacher Johan Hellsten. In his new work Hellsten focuses exclusively on endgame play and covers every type of endgame: pawn, minor piece, rook and queen endgames. He examines not only the many fundamental positions that everyone needs to know, but also the key themes and characteristics of successful endgame play, including activity, creating and exploiting weaknesses, active and passive defence, fortresses and technique.
Just like his previous two books, Mastering Endgame Strategy is a product of Hellsten's many years' work as a full-time chess teacher and is specifically designed as part of a structured training programme to improve strategic thinking. In addition to the many examples there's an abundance of carefully selected exercises which allow readers to monitor their progress and put into practice what they have just learned. Following such a course is an ideal way for players of all standards to improve. Although designed mainly for students, this book is also an excellent resource for chess teachers and trainers.

Classic two strap style with Birko Flor leather uppers, cork latex footbed, adjustable straps and shock absorbing EVA sole.
High quality materials and unique construction give durable comfort and long lasting good looks. The concept of Birkenstock is easily understood when one considers the design of our feet and the mechanics of walking. Each contour in a Birkenstock footbed is precisely placed to stretch, flex and move naturally. Your feet benefit from free movement, constant exercise and improved circulation, resulting in long lasting comfort and better health.
1. Footbed Edge
Deliberately elevated to protect the toes.
2. Toe Bar
Guides the toes, promoting the natural rolling movement of the foot.
3. Cross arch support
Helps shift pressure from the middle to the front of the foot.
4. Suede leather lining
Creates a healthy foot climate around the foot.
5. Inner and outer longitudinal arch supports
Gives the foot support and provides stability for the heel.
6. Deep heel cup
Gives the foot a firm hold and maintains the heel profile.
7. Cork Latex Footbed
Extremely flexible, providing a uniquely high level of wearing comfort.
The Birkenstock Footbed
There is a soft, anatomically shaped cork latex core between the two jute layers. The lower jute layer provides stability while the upper, denser jute layer absorbs moisture. Layering these together along with the suede leather lining ensures an optimum climate for your feet and unsurpassed wearing comfort.
1. Suede leather lining
Creates a healthy foot climate around the foot.
2. Upper jute layer
Wicks away moisture.
3. Cork latex core
Flexible and lightweight providing a high level of comfort.
4. Lower jute layer
Ease of repair and moisture wicking.
5. EVA outsole
Lightweight, durable and shock absorbing material.
Your toes and heel should not touch the rim of your sandals while standing in them. The extra room is needed to perform the natural rolling motion of the foot without restrictions - just as if you were barefoot. Birkenstocks are designed to be roomy. When you first try your sandals they might feel big. Most people are fine with a regular fitting, but if your foot moves side to side when you walk and adjusting the strap does not help, a narrow fitting may be more suitable. This is a regular fit. There is more sizing information, including a conversion chart, here.
The leather used for Birkenstock® uppers is thick but very supple. Natural leather has a unique surface structure, which varies in its colour. No artificial dyes are used to cover up these differences but leave them the way nature intended. This way the leather retains its pores and its ability to breathe. For cleaning smooth Leather, just use a soft dry cloth. Birkenstocks with cork footbeds come with a light coating of cork sealant on the edges, which prevents them from drying out.
If you're a fan of these you're sure to want a browse at the Crocs Sandals too.

Congrats! You're officially part of the club. You have joined the millions of new drivers already behind the wheel. You're probably feeling excited, nervous, or possibly scared — you may even be feeling a combination of all three. Don't worry; these feelings are normal.
Here are a few tips to keep you sane and safe.
When you were a kid and first learned how to ride a bike, you probably started out with the basics. You knew your limits — you kept both hands on the handlebars, your butt firmly in the seat, and you limited your trips to your neighborhood. After some time, you gained experience and became more comfortable with your bike; you probably ventured farther and took longer trips.
Driving a vehicle can be similar. As a new driver, the key is to make sure you are extra-careful and practicing safe driving habits. You might notice older friends and relatives doing something risky — like speeding up instead of slowing down at a yellow light. But when a driver who doesn't have a lot of experience on the road does it, that kind of behavior can be even more dangerous.
Before you take a long road trip, make sure you're completely comfortable going to and from school and work. Before you begin driving at night, when reduced visibility makes driving more complicated, make sure you have daytime driving down. Before you start driving your friends around, if your state's GDL program allows it, practice driving with a responsible adult riding shotgun and on your own — so you aren't distracted by the company.
Here are some tips for developing safe driving habits:
Responsible driving also can help you save money. A good driver is less likely to fork over money for car repairs and increased insurance premiums than a risky or bad driver is.
You aren't the only person you have to be responsible for on the road — there are aggressive and inattentive drivers of all ages and driving experiences, not to mention pedestrians and cyclists. Their presence on the roads means it's not enough to make sure that you follow all the rules of the road — you also have to watch out for people who don't.
It's important to be aware of your surroundings. For instance, when a light turns green, make sure the intersection is clear before you go; someone may run a red light and be headed for you.
Other ways to be better aware of your surroundings include:
Driver training shouldn't end with driver's ed. Consider taking a defensive driving or driver improvement course every 2–3 years to keep your knowledge and skills fresh. Not only will this help you reduce your risk behind the wheel, it may save you some money on your car insurance premiums. It could also show your parents you're serious about being a good, safe driver.
Taking care of your car ensures that it's in good condition and functioning properly. Many breakdowns happen because drivers neglect routine maintenance. To avoid being stuck in one of these situations, try getting familiar with:
Knowing your car means that you won't be that person who runs out of fuel in the middle of nowhere because he drove around with an almost-empty tank, or the one whose tire blew out because she forgot to check the pressure.
Sometimes vehicle crashes and breakdowns are unavoidable, no matter how responsible you are. You should keep some emergency items in your car at all times for use in such situations:
Practice makes perfect. So get out there and drive, keeping safety first.

A U.S. Navy SEAL team swam ashore near a town in southern Somalia before militants of the al-Qaida-linked terrorist group al-Shabab rose for dawn prayers, U.S. and Somali officials told The Associated Press. The raid on a house in the town of Barawe targeted a specific al-Qaida suspect related to the mall attack, but the operation did not get its target, one current and one former U.S. military official told AP.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the raid publicly.
In Washington, Pentagon spokesman George Little confirmed that U.S. military personnel had been involved in a counterterrorism operation against a known al-Shabab terrorist in Somalia, but did not provide details.
U.S. officials said there were no U.S. casualties in either the Somali or Libyan operation.
The Somali raid was carried out by members of SEAL Team Six, the same unit that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in his Pakistan hideout in 2011, another senior U.S. military official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly.
But this time, SEAL Team Six members encountered fiercer resistance than expected so after a 15-20 minute firefight, the unit leader decided to abort the mission and they swam away, the official said. SEAL Team Six has responsibility for counterterrorism activities in the Horn of Africa.
Within hours of the Somalia attack, the U.S. Army's Delta Force carried out a raid in Libya's capital, Tripoli, to seize a Libyan al-Qaida leader wanted for the 1998 bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed more than 220 people, the military official said. Delta Force carries out counterterrorism operations in North Africa.
The Pentagon identified the captured al-Qaida leader as Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, known by his alias Anas al-Libi, who has been on the FBI's most wanted terrorists list since it was introduced shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Al-Libi "is currently lawfully detained by the U.S. military in a secure location outside of Libya," Pentagon spokesman Little said.
Saturday's raid in Somalia occurred 20 years after the famous "Black Hawk Down" battle in Mogadishu in which a mission to capture Somali warlords in the capital went awry after militiamen shot down two U.S. helicopters. Eighteen U.S. soldiers were killed in the battle, and it marked the beginning of the end of that U.S. military mission to bring stability to the Horn of Africa nation. Since then, U.S. military intervention has been limited to missile attacks and lightning operations by special forces.
A resident of Barawe - a seaside town 240 kilometers (150 miles) south of Mogadishu - said by telephone that heavy gunfire woke up residents before dawn prayers.
The U.S. forces attacked a two-story beachside house in Barawe where foreign fighters lived, battling their way inside, said an al-Shabab fighter who gave his name as Abu Mohamed and who said he had visited the scene. Al-Shabab has a formal alliance with al-Qaida, and hundreds of men from the U.S., Britain and Middle Eastern countries fight alongside Somali members of al-Shabab.
A separate U.S. official described the action in Barawe as a capture operation against a high-value target. The official said U.S. forces engaged al-Shabab militants and sought to avoid civilian casualties. The U.S. forces disengaged after inflicting some casualties on fighters, said the official, who was not authorized to speak by name and insisted on anonymity.
The leader of al-Shabab, Mukhtar Abu Zubeyr, also known as Ahmed Godane, claimed responsibility for the attack on the upscale mall in Nairobi, Kenya, a four-day terrorist siege that began on Sept. 21 and killed at least 67 people. A Somali intelligence official said the al-Shabab leader was the target of Saturday's raid.
An al-Shabab official, Sheikh Abdiaziz Abu Musab, said in an audio message that the raid failed to achieve its goals.
Al-Shabab and al-Qaida have flourished in Somalia for years. Some of the plotters of the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania hid out there.
Barawe has seen Navy SEALs before. In September 2009 a daylight commando raid in Barawe killed six people, including Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, one of the most-wanted al-Qaida operatives in the region and an alleged plotter in the 1998 embassy bombings.
The Libyan al-Qaida leader also wanted for the bombings, al-Libi, is believed to have returned to Libya during the 2011 civil war that led to the ouster and killing of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
His brother, Nabih, said al-Libi was parking outside his house early Saturday after dawn prayers when a convoy of three vehicles encircled his car. Armed gunmen smashed the car's window and seized al-Libi's gun before grabbing him and taking him away. The brother said al-Libi's wife saw the kidnapping from her window and described the abductors as foreign-looking armed "commandos."
Al-Libi, who was believed to be a computer specialist for al-Qaida, is on the FBI's most-wanted list with a $5 million bounty on his head. He was indicted by a federal court in the Southern District of New York, for his alleged role in the bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, on August 7, 1998.
Libyan officials did not return calls seeking comment on al-Libi's abduction.
In Somalia, a resident of Barawe who gave his name as Mohamed Bile said militants closed down the town in the hours after the assault, and that all traffic and movements have been restricted. Militants were carrying out house-to-house searches, likely to find evidence that a spy had given intelligence to a foreign power used to launch the attack, he said.
"We woke up to find al-Shabab fighters had sealed off the area and their hospital is also inaccessible," Bile told The Associated Press by phone. "The town is in a tense mood."
Al-Shabab later posted pictures on the Internet of what it said was U.S. military gear left behind in the raid. Two former U.S. military officers identified the gear as the kind U.S. troops carry. Pictures showed items including bullets, an ammunition magazine, a military GPS device and a smoke and flash-bang grenade used to clear rooms. The officials could not confirm if those items had come from the raid.
In Kenya, military spokesman Maj. Emmanuel Chirchir on Saturday gave the names of four fighters implicated in the Westgate Mall attack as Abu Baara al-Sudani, Omar Nabhan, Khattab al-Kene and Umayr, names that were first broadcast by a local Kenyan television station.
Matt Bryden, the former head of the U.N. Monitoring Group on Somalia and Eritrea, said via email that al-Kene and Umayr are known members of al-Hijra, the Kenyan arm of al-Shabab. He added that Nabhan may be a relative of Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, the target of the 2009 Navy SEALs raid in Barawe.
The identities of the four men from the mall attack came as a Nairobi station obtained and broadcast the closed circuit television footage from Westgate. The footage shows four attackers calmly walking through a storeroom inside the complex, holding machine guns. One of the men's pant legs appears to be stained with blood, though he is not limping. It is unclear if the blood is his, or that of his victims'.
Government statements shortly after the four-day siege began on Sept. 21 indicated between 10 to 15 attackers were involved, but indications since then are that fewer attackers took part, though the footage may not show all of the assailants.
Straziuso reported from Nairobi, Kenya, and Dozier from Charlotte, North Carolina. Associated Press writers Rukmini Callimachi in Nairobi and Matthew Lee in Bali, Indonesia, also contributed to this report.

Historical Maps for Marble
So you want to add a historical map to Marble. This is great since we want to see lots of historical maps in Marble where the user can browse through space and time. There are lots of very early world maps that are under the public domain. You'll find several on Wikipedia.
A pretty comprehensive list of many early world maps is available at:
[| Map List translated via Google Translate]
You can choose a map from these lists (or a different place). The map you choose should
* cover the whole world as it was known at that time (or at least much of it) * have a resolution that is high enough (ideally starting around 3000x1500 pixel and above). * have a proper license (Public Domain or CC by SA 3.0 would be alright) * feature some interesting details that make it stand out against others (that is usually the case). * be readable (avoid blurry ones). * be provided in a projection that is easy to reproject
Reprojection is necessary to allow Marble to make use of the map. Generally early world maps are available in the following categories.
- Stereographic Projection (the two hemispheres are displayed as two circles/discs) - This one is pretty straight-forward to reproject (but takes some time nevertheless). [[1]]
- Mercator Projection - These can be used quite easy "as is" and don't require reprojection. [[2]]
- Other projections - These could be either maps which have no real projection or maps which have a more fancy projection. These maps are usually not very straight-forward to reproject.
If you haven't worked on historical maps, we suggest to start with the stereographically projected maps ("A"):
A. Reprojecting maps provided in Stereographic Projection
Always make sure to back up the results of each step into a separate image file! Always use lossless compression file formats for all operations! This will allow you to later on tweak your map further if required.
Step 1: Download
Download the raw file. As an example we start off with this nice map from Jodocus Hondius made in 1595:
[| World Map from Jodocus Hondius from 1595]
This map has a resolution of 3.281 × 2.343 which gives us good details. It's a pretty early map from the time of discoveries: Inspite of its age the map displays North America's west coast already. But evidently the creator of the map did not have any information about the west coast: he just made it up (and although creatively invented it matches today's outline of North America quite well).
We create a directory "hondius1595" and save our raw file "1595_Vera_Totius_Hondius.jpg" there.
Step 2: Cropping the hemispheres
We need to crop the two hemispheres and we need to save them in two different files. You can use Krita, Gimp or Photoshop for that. Make use of the "Crop" tool:
You should crop each circle so that the circular outline of the map is preserved:
Some of the maps have a black-white "dashed" degree scale that serves as a circular outline. It's important that the dashed scale gets included as well! This needs to be the case on the "inner" side as well as on the "outer" side. Here is a different example which has the inner side of the scale bar discontinued but we still crop as if it was still there:
Once you finished cropping you need to scale the hemisphere so that height and width have the same amount of pixels. Otherwise the reprojection tool won't work. In our example after cropping the resulting image had 1605x1625 pixels. You will have a very different value of course. For scaling it's important to use a high quality scaling algorithm: choose Cubic or Lanczos3. After scaling the image up the size is 1625x1625 in our example (which again will be different for your images).
When scaling the second hemisphere we make sure that it has the same size as the first hemisphere.
Save the two hemispheres in two different files. Make sure that you choose "PPM" as a file format!
Now we should have the two PPM files of the two hemispheres in our directory (in our example it's "1595_Vera_Totius_Hondius_east.ppm" and "1595_Vera_Totius_Hondius_west.ppm").
Step 3: Reproject the hemisphere files
If you haven't done so, please download the stereographics conversion tool from here:
File:Stereographic2platecarree lgpl.tar.gz
Create a new directory (e.g. "stereo") and move the tar-ball inside. Inside this directory untar the tarball like this:
tar xvzf Stereographic2platecarree_lgpl.tar.gz
and then start compilation in the konsole inside the directory using:
(you can read more about this tool at http://blogs.kde.org/node/4322, but it's not necessary)
For convenience you can copy the resulting stereographic2platecarree executable into the directory that contains your map files (in our example that is the "hondius" directory.
Once you've done that you can invoke the executable like this:
./stereographic2platecarree -i 1595_Vera_Totius_Hondius_east.ppm -o 1595_Vera_Totius_Hondius_east_reprojected.ppm
and the tool will start to do its work:
Importing PPM '1595_Vera_Totius_Hondius_east.ppm'..
Import done.
Converting projection..
Conversion done.
Exporting PPM '1595_Vera_Totius_Hondius_east_reprojected.ppm'..
Export done.
Once you've done the same for the western hemisphere you should have two files which should look about like this:
You are now ready for the next step.
Step 4: Concatenate the two hemispheres
We have two files in equirectangular projection now. One for each hemisphere. We want to concatenate them so that we get a full world map. We can do this by by increasing the canvas width (in Gimp: Image->Canvas Size): we want a canvas size where the width is twice the height. If your canvas height is e.g. 1625 pixels then the width should become 3250 pixels. The original image should align to the left side of the resulting canvas. Now you can copy the full eastern hemisphere and paste it into the enlarged canvas (you might need to create a new layer for that). Be very careful that it properly aligns to the right. Also make sure that the equator, the upper and the lower border align in a pixel perfect way! And make sure that there is no pixel gap in the center or on the right. Better double-check before you proceed!
If the alignment doesn't work out then you might want to carefully scale, move and crop in order to get an acceptible solution. But usually it should do without. Also if the eastern and western hemisphere vary in terms of saturation or color balance you might want to adjust one of the hemispheres accordingly.
As a result you should have an image like this:
Now flatten both layers (in Gimp: "Image->Flatten Image"). Save the resulting file, make sure you use a lossless format like ppm or png!.
Step5: Normalize the longitude
Now we need to adjust the longitude of our worldmap so that it somewhat matches that of modern maps:
Then resize the map so that the size matches the size of your reprojected world map. Once that is done open your reprojected world map and copy it. Then you go back to the scaled bluemarble.jpg and insert it there as a new layer on top of the satellite image (in Gimp: Edit->Paste as New Layer).
Now open the Layers Dialog (Gimp: Windows->Dockable Dialogs) and adjust the Opacity of the upper layer so that it has 70% Opacity and becomes translucent:
Now you need to move the upper layer so that both maps align at 0° longitude. The definition of the prime meridian has changed throughout the centuries. Therefore we take approximately London (Greenwich) as a reference point. You might also want to take the coastline of Middle Europe and middle Africa into account. The result will look about like this:
Now set the opacity of the top layer back to 100%. You can see that the right part of the map has moved out of the canvas area. We need to cut this part off: You can increase the width of the canvas a bit to get hold of the overhanging part. Then cut and paste the overhanging part into a new layer on the left. The result should look like this:
Delete the layer which still contains the bluemarble.jpg. Flatten the image so that there is just a single layer left. Double check that there are no pixel gaps between the pasted areas and no pixel gaps at the image borders. Save the resulting image into a new file using a lossless file format.
Now it's time for a break: A big amount of work is still ahead. After the break we are ready for the next step.
Step 6: Retouch the resulting map
Now comes the hard part which requires photo retouching skills. This will take a few hours. It might be a good idea to turn some good music on. A graphics tablet might be handy - but it's not necessary: We need to retouch the map. While retouching it's of course important that we still retouch the map in a way that doesn't introduce radical changes. The original spirit of the map should still be preserved.
An important tool for this part of the task is the clone tool. If you are not familiar with it we suggest to look at the docs or at the video tutorial:
We suggest to use the "Circle Fuzzy" Brush for cloning.
It's also a good idea to make use of layers. On Gimp we suggest to use the .xcf file format from now on. During the retouch phase it's advisable to create "backup files" often so that you can easily return to an earlier state. Use a lossless file format that preserves layers for this.
So here are things that you should look at:
a.) You've probably noticed that at the top and bottom part of the map the longitude lines become thicker and skewed towards the poles.
We need to fix thit in creative ways: Usually this can be done by first using the clone tool to erase the faulty grids
Once we've used the clone tool the result will look like this:
Now we need to restore the missing parts of the longitude lines: We can do this by searching for a "clean" light longitude section that we can easily copy over. You should put the copied part of the longitude line into its own layer. once you've pasted enough line parts into the right positions you can merge all the line-layers into a single layer. You should then use the "Darken" mode on the longitude line layer to "blend" the lines properly into the image: The result will look like this:
Repeat the same procedure with the checkered meridians. The result will look like this:
b.) After our copy/paste operations the grid lines of the original map might not line up completely in all places. Use the Clone tool to adjust the lines so that they come together.
c.) You might also want to repair some text labels, coordinate scales, stains or other severe bugs. But be careful not to overdo it. Don't add or remove islands, cities or other stuff that wasn't there before.
Once you are done with retouching save the resulting map into a new file (using the .xcf format in gimp to preserve layers and quality). Make sure that the map hasn't been moved and make sure that there are no "empty" pixels on the top, left, right and bottom. Keep this file as "the original".
Now we take our new "original" and export the map for usage in Marble:
Finally flatten the image (i.e. merge all the layers) and scale your map up to a width that is the closest upper match of 675 * 2^x. The image in our example has 3250x1625 pixels. So we scale it up to 5400x2700 pixels. Make sure to keep the 2:1 ratio between width and height. Save the resulting image into a separate JPG file with a quality that should be between 85-100% (so good quality and very little lossy compression). The file name should have the original map author of the historical map plus the year in which it was created. All in small caps. In our particular example the file name looks like this:
Step7: Create a dgml file
Create a new directory in your home directory below ~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth. In our example we do it like this:
mkdir ~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/hondius1595
The copy the jpg file of the map into it:
cp hondius1595.jpg ~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/hondius1595
Now take this file:
extract it (by using "gunzip Schagen1689.dgml.gz") and copy it into this new directory:
cp Schagen1689.dgml ~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/hondius1595/hondius1595.dgml
It's important that the name matches exactly the name of the jpg file - except for the file extension which is ".dgml"!
Now we need a text editor to replace a few strings inside the .dgml file:
1. Line 5: New map name (e.g. "<name>Historical Map 1595</name>") 2. Line 7: New theme identifier (e.g. "<theme>schagen1689</theme>") 3. Line 8: New name for preview icon (e.g. "<icon pixmap="hondius1595-preview.png"/>" 4. Line 15: You need to adjust the description here. You can use HTML tags for formatting. 5. Line 36: Adjust the layer name (e.g. "<layer name="hondius1595" backend="texture">") 6. Line 37: Adjust the texture name ( e.g. "<texture name="hondius1595_data">") 7. Line 38: Replace the source directory name (e.g. "<sourcedir format="JPG"> earth/hondius1595 </sourcedir>") 8. Line 39: Replace the install map value (e.g. "<installmap> hondius1595.jpg </installmap>") 9. Line 177: Replace the legend city pixmap name ( e.g. <icon pixmap="maps/earth/hondius1595/legend/town.png"/> ) 10. Line 186: Replace the legend mountain pixmap name ( e.g. <icon pixmap="maps/earth/hondius1595/legend /mountain.png"/> ) 11. Line 195: Replace the legend river pixmap name ( e.g. <icon pixmap="maps/earth/hondius1595/legend/river.png"/> ) 12. Line 199: Replace the legend mountain pixmap name ( e.g. <icon pixmap="maps/earth/hondius1595/legend/mountain.png"/> )
At last search for "schagen" in the file to ensure that there are no further occurances that you forgot. Once this is done, save the file.
Step8: Create a preview icon
You should now be able to start Marble with your new map: Start Marble and look for your map name inside the Map View tab. Click it and enjoy!
You've probably seen that there's a proper preview icon missing in the Map View tab. We want to change that:
Inside Marble disable the following things:
- stars (in the configuration plugin dialog), atmosphere
- all info boxes (float item, compass, scale bar
- maybe enable the sun shading (ideally switched to the month june)
Now create a screen shot (inside Gimp via File->Create->Screenshot):
We take this screenshot as a source for our preview icon: We download this file
and crop and copy the globe view, resize it so that it fits and insert it into the icon. The result should look about like this:
Notice the drop shadow and the black margin around the actual globe. Again you don't need to create the drop-shadow yourself - you can reuse it from an existing icon!
We copy this icon over to our directory:
cp hondius1595-preview.png ~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/hondius1595/
And once we restart Marble we'll see our preview icon in action
We are almost done now!
Step9: Create the legend entries
Have a look at the Legend tab. If you look closely and if you compare it with the historical map from schagen then you'll realize that there are still icons missing for the town, mountain, river and lake.
The icons need to be 24x12 in size. Just open your map in your graphics tool and crop and resize some example parts out of it. Create a "legend" subfolder:
mkdir ~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/hondius1595/legend
and store the icons inside there as "lake.png", "mountain.png", "river.png", "town.png".
If there are no such items then you can also remove the item or even section tags inside the dgml file as an alternative. If you feel that there are items missing then you can of course also add your own ones.
Now it's time for some decoration: Download
This file contains the html code that you can display inside the legend around the actual legend. Extract it and inside this file replace the references to the schagen graphics with your own ones.
Now put the legend html file into your map directory:
cp legend.html ~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/hondius1595
And save the graphics you want to add into the "legend" subdirectory. The result for our map looks like this after a restart of Marble:
Now our map is done. We just need to package it for deployment:
Step10: Package the historic map
We need to create a tarball of the map for further distribution.
Go into your map directory:
cd ~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/hondius1595
Then carefully remove all files that were automatically created: Once we execute Marble, Marble creates numbered subdirectories that we don't need for packaging:
rm -r 0 1 2 3
Also our editor might have left a backup file after editing:
rm *~
Now let's step out of our directory
cd ../..
and let's create the final package:
tar cvzf hondius-1595.tar.gz earth/hondius1595/
You can check the files inside via:
tar -tf hondius-1595.tar.gz
In our example this results in the following list:
Congratulations! You have now created your own historical map! Please inform [email protected] about the availability of this map.
Other examples for maps of this kind:
B. Reprojecting maps provided in Mercator Projection
Always make sure to back up the results of each step into a separate image file! Always use lossless compression file formats for all operations! This will allow you to later on tweak your map further if required.
Step 1: Download
Download the raw file. As an example we start off with this nice map from S. A. Mitchell made in 1866:
[| World Map from S. A. Mitchell from 1866]
This map has a resolution of 4,000 × 3,195 which gives us good details. We create a directory "mitchell1866" and save our raw file "1866_Mitchell_Map_of_the_World_on_Mercator.jpg" there.
Step 2: Align the map horizontally
Make sure that the map is properly horizontally aligned. The latitude lines should always stay exactly horizontally. You can verify this by zooming in. Then either add guard lines or check the y-coordinate of a single latitude line across the whole width of the image. If rotation is necessary use the rotation tool. Do the fine tuning using the rotation dialog which allows to tweak the rotation by fractions of a degree.
Step 3: Cropping the actual map
We need to crop the actual map part. You can use Krita, Gimp or Photoshop for that. Make use of the "Crop" tool. Take care of the most upper, lower, left and right border of the image: The upper and lower border should probably not include part of a grid line. The left and right side should be cropped so that both sides moved together result in a single grid line. Here is the map after cropping:
Step4: Normalize the longitude
Now we need to adjust the longitude of our worldmap so that it somewhat matches that of modern maps. Have a look at this map:
We need to cut off the area that is left to the left border of the upper image. Then we need to move the map so that it aligns to the left canvas border. Afterwards we need to paste the area that was cut off to the right side of the image. The result is an image where the longitude lines match the one above (so that today's 180 deg West is left and 180 deg East is located on the right):
Now we merge the layers we have created so far.
Step 5: Adjust the latitude
Now we save this image and load this mercator map template into gimp:
We check the size of our historical world map. The newly created map needs to have a size that is the upper closest match of values like this: 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384 (i.e. 256 * 2^x). In our case the historical map has got a width of 4000 pixels, so the closest match is 4096.
We resize the mercator map template so that it resembles a square of the width that we chose above (in our case 4096x4096).
Now we create a new layer in our mercator map template. We copy our historical map and paste it into the newly created layer of our mercator map template.
Now open the Layers Dialog (Gimp: Windows->Dockable Dialogs) and adjust the Opacity of the upper layer so that it has 70% Opacity and becomes translucent. We then move and scale the historical map so that its coast lines exactly match those of the mercator map template. You can see that we use a guidance line to properly align the equator:
Once this is done we can remove the mercator map template. We add another layer with the background color white and put it below the historical map layer. We use the color picker and pick the average background color of the historical map (i.e. the ocean color). We fill the white background layer with this ocean color.
Now our map is ready for tile creation. Save it as a jpg with 100% (lossless) compression
Step 6: Tile creation
We copy our jpg file into a new directory. Unlike equirectangular maps our mercator map can't be tiled automatically by Marble itself. So we use the tileimg.sh build script:
We copy it into our new directory, gunzip it and make the script executable by calling
chmod +x tileimg.sh
We then use this script to create the different tile levels. The size of our map is 4096x4096. This equals 256 x 2^4 = 256 * 16 = 4096. So the tile level is "4". We create the tile levels from 0 to 4 by calling our script like this:
./tileimg.sh mitchell.jpg 0 256
./tileimg.sh mitchell.jpg 1 256
./tileimg.sh mitchell.jpg 2 256
./tileimg.sh mitchell.jpg 3 256
./tileimg.sh mitchell.jpg 4 256
As a result we get directories 0 to 4 including subdirectories with the tiles inside.
Step7: Create a dgml file
Create a new directory in your home directory below ~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth. In our example we do it like this:
mkdir ~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/mitchell1866
Then copy the tile directories and the jpg file of the map into it.
Now take this file:
extract it (by using "gunzip Mitchell1866.dgml.gz") and copy it into this new directory:
cp Mitchell1866.dgml ~/.local/share/marble/maps/earth/mitchell1866/mitchell1866.dgml
It's important that the name matches exactly the name of the jpg file - except for the file extension which is ".dgml"!
Now we need a text editor to replace all the mitchell1866 inside the .dgml file by our own map name. Once this is done, save the file.
Step8: Create a preview icon, a legend and a deployment tarball
Now you need to follow Step 8-10 from Section A.
Finally compare your map with the "Mitchell 1866" one available via GHNS or via Marble's map page.
A last note: Mercator based maps will always look a bit blurry around the equator at low zoom. This is due to undersampling. Therefore we rather suggest to use equirectangular maps as source maps if possible.
C. Reprojecting maps provided in other Projections
Step 1: Morphing
A generic method to reproject even fancy projections is morphing:
If your map is provided in stereographic projection then you should follow section A instead since the approach shown there is easier and less time-consuming.
Maps for Marble need to get provided in plate carrée projection (also referred to as "Equirectangular projection"):
There are morphing tools that will let you morph ancient maps into the desired projection. It doesn't require too many skills. Just some patience and love to detail.
You can use xmorph/gtkmorph to morph the images. It is a old piece of software, and is not actively maintained anymore. However it is mature enough for what we need. It likely is in your distribution's repository, if not you can get it on sourceforge.
To load the image you want to choose into gtkmorph, click on the "Load image" button on the "input image" window. You can adjust where the mesh's position and the image size, it will be easier if you roughly align the mesh with map before you start. But before you click "Apply", you must change the resolution on the resulting image, to do this you need to change the "width" and "height" on the bottom of the "resulting image" window.
Be careful as gtkmorph has a tendency to crop the images, even if the resulting image is the same resolution as the original!!
By default you there are only a few mesh lines, to get more right-click on the field and choose "add horizontal line" and "add vertical line" - there appears to be a hotkey, but that don't seem to work. You can also set the minimum amount of lines to ~50 by editing the libmorph/morph.c line 48 & 49, but that may be going too .
Once you've got it all setup you are gonna start on the more repetitive task, you're gonna need to place the yellow dots so that the grid aligns with the grid on the map.
If you align every second line on the mesh to every line on the map, that will give you some wiggle room if the line between two dots don't really follow the line on the map.
Once you have set all the yellow dots you simply click the 'do warp' button and about a half a minute later you'll hopefully have something like this: Then save the image by clicking on the 'save image' button, the result should be a square map that can be used in Marble. Save the mesh, and export the image, .PPM and .PNG should be a good choice of format.
Step 2
Now that you've successfully morphed the map you need to continue with steps 5.-10. from the stereographic maps section.
Other examples of maps of this kind:
- Universalis cosmographia secundum Ptholomaei traditionem et Americi Vespucii alioru[m]que lustrationes. (General information)
If you find new maps it's always important to check the license. Although ancient maps should usually be under the public domain there are several people who claim copyright on the data due to the image manipulation work they have done as a part of post-processing the scan. No matter whether this is legitimate or not we should respect those claims and look for data that was intended to be published under the public domain (or another free license) and use that.
It's important to note that people like to distribute imagery "free for non-commercial usage". Unfortunately we are not able to use and distribute this data as this would e.g. prohibit most Linux Distributors from distributing our software. So do not use data that is "free for non-commercial use"! It's not suitable for our purposes. If you think that there is a chance that the author might agree to change the license to a less restrictive one then it might be worth to contact him. However pretty often the "non-commercial" wording is provided intentionally this way to allow for a business case of the author.

Redfield Holder
The vast hoard of Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars accumulated by LaVere Redfield during his lifetime was put out to bids following his death, and this hoard was marketed by several coin dealerships during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Many of these coins so offered were sealed inside rectangular, plastic holders identifying the coins as having been part of the Redfield estate.
Some of these holders display grades of either MS 60 or MS 65 as issued, the only Mint State grades in wide use at that time. Such grades have proved to be inaccurate by current standards. NGC will grade Redfield Dollars inside these original holders by placing a plastic label band around the outside of such holders with its own assigned grade. Since the Redfield holders are not designed and tested by NGC for long-term storage, NGC cannot guarantee the grade it assigns to these coins. This grading is performed as a service to submitters who do not want to lose the nostalgia and collectability of the original holders.
Redfield Dollars may be submitted to NGC under any applicable grading tier for no additional fee. Redfield Dollars must be submitted on a separate submission form and cannot be mixed.

Quick post post
Mileage: 104
February mileage: 354.0
Temperature upon departure: 32
Hello. I don't really have the time or coherence of mind to do a full race report by now, but I thought I could drop in a note for those who might be watching the Susitna 100 race results and are feeling a bit concerned that I checked in 13 miles from the finish at 5:45 a.m. and haven't finished yet (for the record, I came in at 9:54 a.m. I'm sure the Web site will update soon.)
I'm back and elated that I finished. I did manage to make most of my goals for the race - that is: survive, survive with all my digits intact, and finish the race. I was on pace to make it to the finish in 24 hours, but I wasen't paying attention and took an accidental 2-mile detour toward the end of the race that I had to backtrack - earning me an extra four miles but costing the 24-hour cutoff.
So I accomplished my goals. But in the fully-sunlit hindsight of my race, I'm feeling a little disappointment with my performance. This stems from something I've been saying all along - that, for me, the Susitna 100 was a psychological race. A real test of mind over body. And now I realize that my body did great. My mind, however, really dropped the ball.
I'll try to post in more depth tomorrow. But, basically, the race started out with ideal trail conditions. I was pushing easy, enjoying the sunshine reflecting across the frozen boreal bogs. I was halfway through the race in eight hours, feeling strong, certain I was on pace for an 18-hour race. I was stoked. And that's where I let my guard down.
Right after sunset, just as I was checking out of the 53-mile checkpoint, a heavy rain started coming down. The warm, wet downpour, compounded by temps in the 34-37 degree range and daylong sun quickly reduced the trail to soft sugar. Within an hour I was soaked to the core, fighting the pounding headwind out on the exposed surface of the Yetna River and plunging through a trail that had the consistency of wet sugar. I could have just dealt with the fact that movement was going to be slower. I could have stopped and put on a change to dry clothing. But I dwelt on the sudden misfortune and I let it get to me. I pushed through most of Dismal Swamp because it was truly unrideable for someone with my type of bike. But the time I returned to the 25-mile checkpoint, there was two or three new inches of wet snow accumulated on the ground, and it was coming down quick. I think that was the point I gave into my suffering. I was having such a hard time pedaling that I decided I was going to walk the rest of it. All said, I probably walked 25 of the last 40 miles. Of course, now I'm asking myself a lot of questions about that decision - was it really necessary? Did I really need to take it at that level? Couldn't I have pushed a little harder, despite my lack of perfect equipment or experience?
The psychology of racing is interesting. Now, looking back on it, I see that my body wasen't hurting. My body felt strong. But everything about my last 40 miles was so frustrating, frustrating - all because conditions started out so well, and deteriorated so suddenly. Still, I am really happy to have finished - and even the really tough stuff about the experience just make me want to go out next year and try again as a season veteran. I didn't mean to be such a downer in this post. But, these are my first post-race, pre-sleep thoughts. More tomorrow. Pictures too.

I've heard of many rookies in this race quitting in the middle of the night, freaked out by darkness, the hardship, the remote location and the fear of encountering a moose or wolves on the trail.ReplyDelete
You gutted it out and finished under tough lousy conditions. Good job.
You've earned a nice long break from the bike, a big meal and a long sleep.
YAY! We were getting worried -- thoroughly glad to know you're in. Get that well-deserved rest.ReplyDelete
You 'da woman!
AND you wrote a coherent post before sacking out for the afternoon. Forgot to mention that.ReplyDelete
Awesome job, Jill! Way to finish a very tough race. The psychological part gets easier but I still have to be careful not to let myself get down. I'm sure I learn even more about my mind in RAAM.ReplyDelete

Yah Jill,ReplyDelete
I'm so glad to hear you finished in one piece. I kept updating the site .... and worrying. You have no reason to get down on yourself for not completing the "perfect" race - you did it, you finished, you accomplished something that most of us wouldn't even try. nuff said. Next time, given your determination, you'll probably win.
Jill, if you consider this post a superficial analysis, I'd hate to see a really in depth analysis. Don't be too hard on yourself! You did fantastic finishing the course and will do better next year. You now have a better idea of what you are up against and coming that close on your first time out of the gate is a wonderfull job! Essentially, the course did NOT beat you, and so what if you made a little routing mistake! I think you did an OUTSTANDING JOB young lady!::GRIN::ReplyDelete
Way to go, lady! You finished the race and you did it in horrid conditions. Next year you will eat it up!ReplyDelete
No matter how disappointed you might be--and I don't think you should be--you really inspired all of us. We are in awe of you, Jill. What you just did was amazing.ReplyDelete

Jill, its not unusual to be a bit down after a race like this. Just wait til you're sat round with your mates and a beer, recounting the adventure. The joy and self-fulfilment will come back then. What you did was a big thing, well done.ReplyDelete
now that your hooked on such events this will only make you better/smarter/stronger/faster.ReplyDelete

Way to go, Jill! Not only did you complete the 100 miles, but you walked a marathon, pushing your bike and equipment through snow and slush! That is impressive.ReplyDelete
Congratulations! A little post-race second-guessing is natural, but frankly, it sounds like you absolutely rocked this! Pat yourself on the back, give your body some treats and bask in your accomplishment!ReplyDelete

Looks to me like you raced an incredible race. And try to banish those "could've done better" demons. Those demons are liars. The reason you got off and pushed was becasue you thought that was what you needed to do to finish the race. In hindsight, realizing you still had something in the tank after the race, you know you probably could have ridden part of that. That's cool, use that knowledge for next year. But meanwhile, give yourself massive credit: You just completed a race that most people (me included) would never dare register for.ReplyDelete

Gret job. Really impressive.ReplyDelete
When last I did 'my race,' I crossed the finish line and the timer read out my time, which was only four seconds faster than the previous year, and my initial reaction was, "What?! Are you serious?" Then I coasted to a stop and promptly threw up.ReplyDelete
I second Fatty's comment. Don't let the demons bug you. It's just the first of what will surely be many Susitnas, and that means you have time for improvement. And besides, if you didn't know it would take you to the brink of cracking, you probably wouldn't have done it.
Nice race, Jill.
I don't think anyone here who is a cyclist can even relate to what you have just gone through. A typical "century" training regime doesn't even come close when you throw in the Alaskan elements. A true "man versus nature" battle with perhaps a little "man versus man" intrigue toward the end.ReplyDelete
I found myself refreshing the update page often on saturday checking your progress. Congrats on an amazing feat!
You did an awesome job!! Yes, sometimes the mental part is harder than the physical but you stuck it out, which is the mark of a winner!ReplyDelete

Just remember you did something most would first never think was possible to attempt and second wouldn't even want to. Your a champion.

Congrats, I don't think you're mental side let you down at all. Letting you down would be causing you to quit completely instead, you found. Out of curiousity, what was wrong with your choice of bike? Not that I plan to subject myself to that anytime soon.ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness!! Congratulations!! You surely amaze me!!! Great Job!!ReplyDelete

Made in China. All weights pertaining to gemstones, including diamonds, are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Zircon often suffers for its name's similarity to "cubic zirconia," the simulated diamond. The stone zircon, however, is actually a beautiful natural gemstone. It is named from the Persian word "zargun," meaning "gold-colored." This is despite the fact that it comes in a wide range of rainbow colors . The majority of zircons are brown or yellow-brown, while pure red and green are the most valuable colors. The yellow-red to reddish-brown variety is called "hyacinth."
For many years, the most popular type of zircon was the colorless variety. More than any other natural stone, colorless zircons produce a brilliant sparkle similar to diamonds . The most popular color today tends to be the bright pastel blue variety. Sometimes called "starlite," blue zircon has recently become considered an alternative birthstone for December.
Zircon is one of the heaviest gemstones, meaning that it will look smaller than other varieties of the same weight. It ranks a hardness between 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is mined in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar and Australia.
Travelers during the 11th century wore zircon amulets for protection and to encourage welcome greetings on their journeys. In the Middle Ages, the stone was said to bring wisdom and prosperity to its owner. Hindu mythology even mentions the gem when referencing the Kalpa Tree, which was a glowing tree covered with gemstone fruit and leaves of zircon.
