It's been over a week since I've given you an update on Falcons draft-related news, but here's a run-down of many of the pro days and scheduled visits/workouts the Falcons have reportedly had over the past week or so. Pro days are ostensibly over, with SMU capping off the schedule. McNeese State is slated to have a pro day as well this week on Friday. For the most part, the rest of this month will be filled with private workouts and personal pro days for a handful of players that have been rehabbing injuries.
Today, SI.com's Tony Pauline reports that the Falcons sent offensive line coach Pat Hill to Wisconsin center Peter Konz's workout today. Konz had yet to really work out in front of scouts due to a dislocated ankle he suffered at the end of this past season. Konz was invited to Indianapolis for the Combine in February, and disappointed with only 18 bench reps of 225 pounds. At today's workout, he improved to 23 reps. He did not run a 40-yard dash, but did go through positional drills alongside teammates Kevin Zeitler and Josh Oglesby. Per Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Konz reportedly considers himself to be at 90% recovery from his injury.
The Falcons were confirmed to be at Hill's former employer, Fresno State's pro day on March 28. There, they likely got a long look at undersized, but explosive wideout/return threat Devon Wylie. Wylie clocked a 4.39 40 time in Indianapolis, which was tied for sixth best among all prospects at the Combine.
Hill is not the only Falcons assistant getting mileage watching pro days. The Falcons sent new quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas to Chattanooga earlier this week to watch UTC quarterback B.J. Coleman. At that workout, Coleman completed 34 of 43 passes. Reports surfaced that the Falcons also got a long look at East Carolina QB Dominique Davis following his pro day back on March 22. The Falcons also sent brass to look at Southern Miss QB Austin Davis according to College2Pro.com's Bo Marchionte. There they also got a look at wideout Ryan Balentine.
Other pro days the Falcons were confirmed to attend last week were Alabama, Brigham Young, and Georgia Southern, held on March 29. They were also at South Carolina on March 28. And it's also been confirmed they went to James Madison's pro day way back on March 16.
College2Pro also reports that the Falcons have gotten looks at Lafayette TE Kevin Doty and Portland State DT Myles Wade.
Aaron Wilson of Scout.com reports that the Falcons have a private workout scheduled with RB David Wilson (Virginia Tech), and have gotten looks at DE Melvin Ingram (South Carolina), and OG Kelechi Osemele (Iowa State). Other prospects that per Wilson the Falcons have shown interest in are WR Ryan Broyles (Oklahoma), CB Trumaine Johnson (Montana), and OT Mitchell Schwartz (California).

More than 100 workers left stranded without pay have been returned to their home country by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.
About 150 staff members comprising mainly Indians and Bangladeshis went without pay for eight months at the remote Ruwais camp in the Western Region.
Some had only limited access to food and sanitation after their company, Emguard Electro Mechanical and General Contracting, went bankrupt and failed to pay their wages.
Now 72 Indians remain stranded as the embassy works with the company and authorities to resolve the issue, reported The National. "In response to complaints lodged by a number of Asian workers who hadn't been receiving salaries, the ministry will take necessary procedures to get workers their financial rights by way of monetisation of the bank guarantee amount," said the ministry.

It's a whirlwind after a crash in San Diego, but you can help yourself by making sure you gather the right evidence at the scene. Staying calm and grabbing what you need on your phone can help you stay organized if you ultimately need to meet with an attorney about a personal injury claim.
After a crash in San Diego, make sure to alert the authorities so that you can file a police report. This evidence may become important down the road, but it's a good idea to get a police report for your own reference as well as your insurance, too.
#1: Photos of Damage
If your vehicle was severely damaged, make sure you take photos of that damage. While the insurance adjuster will also check what happened, you want to have your own pictures. If your car is fixed quickly, for example, you want to have a record of what it looked like before.
#2: Photos of the Scene
Make sure you get pictures of where the accident happened. This will help with accident reconstruction or just painting the picture.
#3: Details from the Other Driver
You should get his or her contact information for insurance purposes. You might also want to snap some photos of the scene with the other driver's car in it. This could become important down the road if the vehicle damage helps to tell the story of how the accident had to have happened.
#4: Names of Witnesses
Did anyone see the accident? If so, you should talk to them and gather their contact details. It could be important after a crash in San Diego if you decide to file a personal injury claim.
#5: Details on Your Injuries
How do you look and feel after the accident? Your medical records will tell the long-term story, but documenting your injuries as soon as possible is recommended because you're the most likely to remember things when you document it right away.

Luke 13:24—Do all seekers find God?
Problem: Jesus says, "Seek and you will find." Other passages of Scripture reaffirm the same truth (1 Chron. 28:9; Isa. 55:6; Acts 10:35). Yet, according to Jesus, "many ... will seek to enter and will not be able" (Luke 13:24). Likewise, Jesus said in John, "You will seek Me and not find Me" (John 7:34).
Solution: All who earnestly seek God, find Him, for "He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" (Heb. 11:6). In fact, God is "longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish" (2 Peter 3:9).
Of course, there are those who seek God on their own terms (by human works) who will not be saved, since it is "not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us" (Titus 3:5). The Bible says, "there is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death" (Prov. 14:12). Further, there are those who seek too late, namely, after they die for "it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" (Heb. 9:27). But there is no one who comes to God in this life in penitence, falling upon His mercy, that does not receive His gracious gift of salvation.
Judas regretted his sin (Matt. 27:4), but Peter repented of his. Hence, Judas is lost (John 17:12), and Peter is saved.

Learning requires us to make connections. Einstein's brain was no bigger than average, he just maximised its potential by having more connections than the rest of us. Making connections requires imagination, as do most memory techniques. Creative people are able to solve problems. They are more open to new ideas. Finally, creative people are prepared to take risks with their learning and in doing so find 'short cuts' to higher levels of understanding.

Black Thought
Black Thought in 2011
|Background information
|Tariq Luqmaan Trotter
|October 3, 1971
|Hip hop
Tariq Luqmaan Trotter (born October 3, 1971), better known as Black Thought, is an American rapper and the lead MC of the Philadelphia-based hip hop group, The Roots, as well as an occasional actor. Black Thought, who co-founded The Roots with drummer Questlove (Ahmir Thompson), is widely lauded for his live performance skills, continuous multisyllabic rhyme schemes, complex lyricism, double entendres, and politically aware lyrics.
Black Thought was born Tariq Luqmaan Trotter, to Thomas and Cassandra Trotter, both members of the Nation of Islam. His father was murdered when Trotter was one, and his mother murdered when he was in high school.[1] He spent time tagging "DT" or "Double T" with graffiti around Philadelphia. He sold crack cocaine briefly, and was sent to live with family in Detroit for a few months in high school.[1] Trotter attended the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts and Millersville University studying Journalism. In 1987, Trotter became friends with drummer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and formed a drummer/MC duo performing on the streets of Philadelphia and at talent shows.[2] Trotter would subsequently spend some time as one of two MCs in the group The Square Roots: the other one was Malik B., whom Tariq met in college.[3] In high school, Black Thought became interested in the lessons of the Nation of Gods and Earths, which you can still hear resonate in some of his bars.[4][not in citation given]
The Square Roots renamed themselves the Roots and released their debut album Organix in 1993. The Roots signed to DGC and followed up with Do You Want More?!!!! in 1995. Recorded without any sampling, the album was more popular among alternative music fans than those of hip hop. Around the release of the album, The Roots performed at the Lollapalooza alternative music festival and Montreux Jazz Festival. Illadelph Halflife, the band's 1996 album, became its first album to chart within the top 40 spots on the Billboard 200 because of the successful single "What They Do".[2]Things Fall Apart followed in 1999, the year the band played at the Woodstock 99 concert.[5]
In 2000, The Roots won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for "You Got Me", with guest performances by Erykah Badu and Eve.[6] The Roots' album Things Fall Apart was nominated for the Best Rap Album award.[7] For Jay-Z's acoustic concert for the television program MTV Unplugged, The Roots provided instrumentals.[8] Succeeding albums were Phrenology (2002), The Tipping Point (2004), Game Theory (2006), Rising Down (2008), How I Got Over (2010), Undun (2011), and ...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin (2014).
Black Thought starred in films such as Bamboozled (2000), and the 2001 films Perfume, Love Rome, and Brooklyn Babylon.[9]
Black Thought's numerous musical guest performances include "Pimpas Paradise", by Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley; "Hard Hitters", by Dilated Peoples;[10] "Stolen Moments Part 2", by Common;[11] "X-Ecutioner Style", by Linkin Park;[12] "My Favorite Mutiny", by The Coup;[13] "Right Now", by Fort Minor;[14] and "Rafiki", by Zap Mama.[15]
Black Thought recorded a solo album, to be titled Masterpiece Theatre and released in 2001,[9] but the project was scrapped after he learned that the album would not count toward The Roots' contractual commitments. Most of the songs from the project appeared on The Roots' Phrenology album.
In 2006, he began working on a collaborative project with producer Danger Mouse, titled Dangerous Thoughts.[16] As of September 2017, the album had not been released.[17]
In a June 2008 interview with Brian Kayser of the website HipHopGame, Black Thought spoke of another solo project that was scheduled for release on the Razor and Tie music corporation. He stated that there would be the possibility of Questlove working on production.[18] As of September 2014, neither Black Thought nor the solo album are listed on the Razor & Tie website.[19]
In February 2011, Black Thought, along with 10.Deep and the "Money Making Jam Boys" collective--the latter of which includes Dice Raw, S.T.S., Truck North and P.O.R.N.--released the mixtape The Prestige.[20]
Together with U.K. artist Lotek, Black Thought appeared on the song "Living in Bunkers", by Australian hip hop group Hilltop Hoods, which was released on the Drinking From The Sun album in March 2012.[21] Also in March 2012, Black Thought performed with Nneka and Clef nite at BET 106 and Park. They performed the song "God Knows Why", from the former's album Soul Is Heavy, which they collaborated on.[22][23]
In early 2013, Black Thought confirmed his continuing work, with Jim James and Tunde Adebimpe, on a solo album entitled Talented Mr. Trotter.[24] At this time, he began work on a memoir with journalist and music critic Jeff Chang, as well as filmmaker Maori Karmael.[25]
As of April 2015, the rapper has yet to release a solo album, but when asked about the long-awaited project, by a fan on Twitter, he said he's "working on it". He did not offer further details.[26]
In February 2016, Black Thought joined forces with Fashawn, Murs, and Del the Funky Homosapien to record a new track called "Rise Up" for the video game Street Fighter V. A music video for the song was released by Capcom, and includes appearances by Black Thought and his fellow collaborators.[27]
In December 2017, Black Thought appeared on HOT 97 with Funkmaster Flex where he performed a 10-minute freestyle over "The Learning (Burn)" instrumental by Mobb Deep. This freestyle went widely viral, trending over Twitter for the next days and hitting millions of views on YouTube.[28][29]Streams of Thought, Vol. 1, a collaborative EP with producer 9th Wonder, was released on June 1, 2018.[30]Streams of Thought, Vol. 2: Traxploitation, a collaboration with producer Salaam Remi, is scheduled to be released on November 26, 2018.
Black Thought married with wife Opal in 2010.[31][32] He has five sons and one daughter.[33]

Europe and Tobacco: Blowing Smoke
On 16th August 2012, Australia's highest court upheld a government law on mandatory packaging for cigarettes that removes brand colours and logos from packaging. The law requires cigarettes to be sold in olive green packets, with graphic images warning of the consequences of smoking. Leading global tobacco manufacturers, including British American Tobacco and Philip Morris have argued that removing their brand names and company colours from packets will lead to a drastic cut in profits and that it may result in fake products entering the market.
The European Union will publish a draft revision to its 2001 Tobacco Products Directive in the autumn, and may introduce more stringent rules on packaging as well as extend legislation to newer tobacco products such as electronic cigarettes. Once the directive's revision is completed, it will need the approval of the EU's 27 countries and over 700 members of the European Parliament before it can become law.
In 2004 Ireland became the first country in Europe (and in the world) to establish an unequivocal ban on smoking in workplaces. Italy followed a few months later. Before the law came into effect, it was just "unthinkable" for the Irish to picture a pint of Guinness without a cigarette on the side or a smoking-free restaurant in Italy at lunch time. According to national surveys though most of the populations of both countries are pleased with this regulation and can perceive the benefits that this measure brought to society.
The heavy stance taken by the Australian government sets a strong example for the European Commission which has been dealing with regulation on tobacco advertisement for almost 3 decades but still has to face powerful lobbying from giant tobacco manufacturers.
A long story
The initiation of an anti-tobacco agenda started in June 1985 when the European Council approved the "Europe Against Cancer" programme. There are speculations that having Delors and Mitterand's children been diagnosed with cancer contributed to the shifting of this priority up in the EC's agenda setting.
The current anti-smoking legislation in the EU is regulated through Directive 2003/33/EC on the "approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the advertising and sponsorship of tobacco products" that came into effect on 31th July 2005. This directive banned tobacco advertisement on most media but did not include advertising in cinemas, billboards and merchandising.
The second step forward was given by the 98/43 EC General Directive on "the advertising and sponsorship of tobacco products". The adoption of this directiverequired over eight years and eventually turned out to be a complete failure when two years later the German government argued that the directive's provisions went against the structural principles necessary for the implementation of a fully integrated single market.
The Annulment of Directive 98/43
In 2000 the ECJ focused on the Case C-376/98 Germany vs. EP and Council of the European Union. The legal assumption was that the European ban on tobacco sponsorship was illegitimate, as it was built up within the wrong legal basis. The Court expressed how the Directive was not a measure to enforce the single market but it actually represented an issue to be dealt with under the health domain.
This judgment scarcely interpreted the powers of Communitarian legislation to adopt measures for the achievement of the internal market. Moreover, it testified the authority at the Member States' disposal and demonstrated that the powers of EU institutions were significantly circumscribed. Communitarian legislation regarding the internal market does not substitute state regulatory intervention. The annulment of the 98/43 EC shed light on a sentiment favouring slackening of integration and greater complaisance to nation states. As the completion of the internal market seems to be getting closer and closer, the ECJ might find that the political-economic costs of further integration override its advantages and decide to take a firmer position.
As a consequence, the Berlaymont carried out a new line intended to respect the limits of legislation of the internal market. The directive was adopted "relatively quickly" this time (in 2003) and in 2004 the use of dissuasive images, as a method of discouraging smokers and potential smokers, came into law.
Have these measures been effective? The Commission expects reports every 5 years by the Member States to test how implementation has been carried out. But can we really trust national appointees to truthfully self condemn non-compliance of tobacco legislation?
Tobacco and Formula 1: Dangerous Friends
The significance of the power held by external interest groups in the tobacco-related decision making process is fully represented by the intrusion of the Formula 1 management board which firmly opposed any constraint on tobacco advertisement (as this represented one of their main sources of revenue).
The first encroachment happened in October 1997 when FIA President Max Mosley sent a letter to European governments pointing out his dissent over any ban on tobacco advertisement. Then, Mosley and "F1 Supremo" Bernie Ecclestone officially met British PM Tony Blair at Downing Street to discuss the matter. A few days later Mosley threatened to pull F1 out of Europe in a move that visibly lacked credibility considering that if F1 was withdrawn from Europe the relative loss was obviously on the F1 board's side.
Nevertheless, at the time Labour Party officials decided that Grand Prix racing should be exempted from any ban and Public Health Minister Tessa Jowell tried to encourage other European Health Ministers to accept this "opt-out". This was not the end of the story though. A month later, the sponsorship of tobacco in the F1 domain started heating up. Governmental turmoil was raised in Britain when it was revealed that Ecclestone donated 1 Million Pounds to the Labour Party.
Following media crack-down and fears that business and political interests would be seen as dangerously close friends Mosley announced that the FIA "might" apply a worldwide ban on tobacco advertising if it is proven that tobacco sponsorship leads to people starting smoking. It was only in 2006 that the FIA approved the decision to ban all forms of tobacco sponsorship when representatives of the most prominent tobacco industry created a common agreement to end sports sponsorships.
The F1 case shows how dominant interests external from the EU sphere of influence could (and still can) play a salient role in domains (internal market and health issues) that should strictly belong to the Commission's competence.

The Houston Sports Award trophy includes, in English and Latin, Rudy Tomjanovich's pronouncement after the Rockets clinched their second consecutive NBA championship in 1995: "Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion."
Tomjanovich said the second half of the phrase came from Kevin Johnson of the Phoenix Suns, who after an earlier playoff series said of the Rockets: "'Those guys are like cockroaches. You keep trying to step on them, but they always scurry away and come back. They have the heart of a champion."
Often omitted from the Tomjanovich quote is the preface, "We had nonbelievers along the way. I have one thing to say to those nonbelievers."
That phrase, he said, came from the fact that so many people questioned the Rockets' Valentine's Day trade that year sending Otis Thorpe to Portland in exchange for Clyde Drexler.
"We got a lot of flak that year because we made a trade," he said. "I had never heard teams publicly talk about somebody else's trade. I would never comment on somebody else's trade. So when I said there were doubters, it was 'in your face.'"
Honored along with Hakeem Olajuwon on Thursday night was former Rockets owner Leslie Alexander, who bought the team during the 1993-94 championship season.
"They may have still won a championship if I wasn't there, but I'm sure glad he kept me on and I was there to do it," Tomjanovich said.

Paul Abbott JP.
Scott Egan installed 3 small inverters in the bedrooms and a larger unit in the living/sunroom.
He was punctual in turning up when he said he would and unlike some tradesmen left no mess when finished
Scott was very professional in his work even down to giving us instructions as to operating the controls and cleaning of the filters on each unit.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Scott for any air conditioning or electrical work
Peter Bowden

I would just like to e-mail my thanks to Scott and his team, they recently installed air conditioning in my property, and new LED downlights throughout the house. They were both efficient, timely, and the quote we received was very reasonable in comparison to other quotes we had received.
Overall our experience with this company was excellent, and I felt the need to let you know this, and, that I would be more than happy to recommend them to any of our friends.
Again thank you

I took only Ha exposures for this image:
This image consists of 13x600 min Ha exposures (=2h 10min). You can clearly see the Horsehead Nebula on the right, the Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) on the left and the streams in the ionized gas in the background - which stem from the magnetic fields in the nebula.
I tried to improve the grainy glow of the bright star Alnikat on the upper left, but could not find a good way to mask it, but not the nebula. I.e. every attempt resulted in the nebula loosing a lot of it's detail. The trickiest part of processing this image was to remove noise and to keep detail and a smooth background.

A paralyzed young woman with MS stands up and walks in "Lourdes," but it'll be a real miracle if anyone manages to stay awake throughout this extravagantly dull film.
Shot in lengthy, quiet takes, the film follows a tour-bus pilgrim (Sylvie Testud) as she visits the tour sites of the French town where the Virgin Mary supposedly made an unscheduled appearance in 1858. Wheelchair-bound pilgrims chatter anxiously about miracles and pretty nurses bustle about as director Jessica Hausner's camera lingers skeptically on Catholic tchotchke shops and kitsch images of the Virgin.
An hour into the film, something finally happens: the MS sufferer gets out of bed and strolls around, striking up a hint of a romance and wondering whether she has been singled out for healing. Maybe there is something to this Lourdes business, or maybe her disease is simply on hiatus. Who knows?
The movie isn't puckish enough to be a satire, isn't devotional enough to make you think about miracles. It finally is so controlled and distant that it says nothing at all. Slowly.

The New South Wales Police Force has issued a public plea for caution on the state's roads after the weekend's seven fatal crashes.
In the short period from New Year's Day up to January 19, NSW Police have reported 21 fatalities on the road. The majority have been due to car crashes, with 11 of the drivers killed, as well as two passengers and seven motorcyclists. A pedestrian has also been identified as one of the casualties so far.
Seven of these fatal collisions occurred since last Friday. The weekend's crashes have also left four seriously injured in hospital, including a 90-year-old woman whose mobility scooter crossed paths with an SUV in South West Rocks and a 16-year-old girl who reportedly fell out of a moving vehicle being driven by a 17-year-old driver.
While police are continuing to investigate the factors involved in these fatal crashes, it is known that each of these most recent seven collisions took place in daylight, with reportedly good driving conditions.
Motorcyclists over represented in 2015 crashes
Motorcyclists feature prominently in the recent road toll, as noted by Stuart Smith, Acting Assistant Commissioner of the NSW Police Force.
Of the fatal motorcycle crashes this past weekend, two took place on Sunday involving pillion riders, both of whom were injured. One incident involved a 4WD on Mt Panorama in Bathurst, while the other occurred off a dirt track.
Seven of the year's 21 fatalities on NSW roads have been motorcyclists. "This is the height of the riding season," says Assistant Commissioner Smith in a recent media release. "Motorcyclists need ride to live and other road users need to be looking out for bikes."
Australia Day and Operation Safe Return
The tragic weekend comes ahead of heightened measures to be put in place for Australia Day weekend, beginning Friday January 23.
Road safety initiative, Operation Safe Return continues from last year, and will run from this Friday January 23 until midnight on Australia Day, January 26. Any motorists caught for speeding, seatbelt or motor bike helmet offences over these four days will receive double demerit points.
Assistant Commissioner Smith says the police will be targeting what they call the "fatal five" which includes drink/drug driving, speeding, distracted driving, seatbelt and tired driving offences. Australia Day weekend last year resulted in three fatal crashes with a reported 2,500 drivers caught speeding. Police also charged more than 170 people with drink driving.
Number of infringements up over holiday season
Operation Safe Return follows the NSW Police Force's Operation Safe Arrival, a high-visibility campaign which covered the Christmas/New Year holidays. Operation Safe Arrival was active from December 19 until January 4, during which time officers conducted 830,670 random breath tests, a significant 250,000 more tests than in the previous holiday season.
John Hartley, Traffic and Highway Patrol Command Assistant Commissioner said that the visual deterrent of the highly visible force and their cars was more important to police than detecting actual offences.
During the 2014/2015 Operation Safe Arrival, 1273 people were charged with drink driving, up from 1209 the year before. Police also detected an increase in the 14,422 speed infringements compared to the previous holiday season.
Additionally, NSW police found a total 1881 people not wearing seatbelts properly, with 29 in fatal crashes who weren't wearing their seatbelt.
"It has been proven time and again, that proper use of seatbelts and occupant restraints saves people from being seriously injured or killed in crashes," said Command Assistant Commissioner Hartley in a media release.
"It's unfortunate we have had more than 1800 people who did not want to give themselves that same protection during Christmas and New Year."

Scanners use lights and colour filters on image sensors, or coloured lights (e.g. LEDs) to analyze the colours in reflection print or transparency originals. Some scanners can also scan colour film negatives, and either "print" them to create a pleasing image on the reference sRGB display (the most common approach), or estimate scene colours and encode them as scRGB.
The IEC has specified a method for the characterization of colour scanners for multimedia applications, to facilitate the creation of standard colour image data.

Time to pay those library fines
I check out books en masse. Yes, I'm that guy who schleps twenty books to the counter. What can I say? I like to read a gaggle of books at a time (especially for research). And I've been known to hang onto a book or two (or ten) way beyond the normal return date. Which is a polite way of saying I've ended up buying several books from the library rather than return them. But I always pay my fines. I consider it a badge of honor.
Speaking of honors, SONGS OF WILLOW FROST was recently named to LibraryReads inaugural Top-10 list of books recommended by librarians all across the country. The complete list is here.
It's huge honor, one I hold in high regard, particularly because I hold librarians in high regard (after all, Batgirl was a librarian). And if you haven't seen this great librarians ala Beastie Boys video, behold:

While CNH Industrial has been grabbing headlines recently with its driverless tractor concepts, Fendt has also been busy working on its version of autonomous vehicles.
Fendt's MARS system comprises multiple robots which are lighter than conventional tractors and can work around the clock.
But rather than use existing tractors and adapting them, the firm has been looking into the use of autonomous robots.
Together with the University of Ulm, Germany, initial studies have focused on the use of robots for satellite-supported sowing of maize. Designated the MARS project (Mobile Agricultural Robot Swarms), the aim is to increase the efficiency of farming tasks by being able to work around the clock with higher levels of precision, and with less labour. As the project name suggests, the use of small but many robots also allows the system to better adapt to changing conditions and situations, claims the manufacturer.
The field robots are transported to their operating site with a logistics unit – essentially a trailer where the robots can re-charge and re-fill with seed. From there, they perform sowing operations, automatically and enable site-specific adjustment of the sowing pattern and sowing rate, as well as the documentation of each seed.
As a result, the manufacturer says this allows better traceability of seed products, and it has the potential for increased yields, due to better placement/use of product.
Through their battery-powered, electric drive, low weight and autonomous operation, sowing can also take place under conditions where conventional farming usually cannot be used, says Fendt.
The system can be accessed using an app on a device such as a tablet and can therefore be controlled independent of location. Using the interface, the desired field, seeds, seeding pattern and density as well as the number of robots can be selected from the available data.
A clever programme then plans the robot operations based on the parameters which have been entered and calculates the time required to complete the task. As soon as the logistics unit has been positioned, the use of the robots can be started with the app. While they are working, the robots communicate via an internet-based storage system, 'the cloud,' so geo coordinates can be saved for the location of each seed.
Previewed in 2012, Fendt is no stranger to autonomous vehicles, with this demonstration of its 'lead and follow' concept.
If a robot should ever fail, its task is immediately taken over by another unit, says the manufacturer. Work progress can be followed live with the app, which includes the charging state of the robots' batteries and ensures all batteries are recharged in due time at the logistics unit.
Information about the placement of the seed is stored in the cloud and can also be used for further growth processes, such as applying fertilisers and harvesting. Afterwards it can be used for analysis to improve the planting process.
The research project is sponsored by the European Union within the framework of the FP7 programme, part of Echord++, the European Coordination Hub for Open Robotics Development.
MARS is still very much in the early stages of development, but with Fendt's 'lead and follow' technology, whereby an unmanned tractor follows a manned tractor, which already exists, the manufacturer is keen to gauge possible interest in the technologies.

Escapism: The freedom of the brush
Making long, story driven games is tough. It's time consuming and you can go for years without anything finished to show for your efforts. I think that is the main reason I recently started getting back into painting - just for fun and also to create that sense of accomplishment one gets from actually finishing a task and having something to show for it. It's also a great break from the computer! A friend suggested I film myself painting and then speed the recording up, to show my processes and see where I went wrong or could improve. I find it a bit weird, it's like someone's watching you once you press the red button!
I like using mostly watercolour as it's quite an unforgiving medium and also because they are easy to get out and put away (I can't be waiting around waiting for paint to dry!). On the computer you can always correct things, but every stroke counts in watercolour and you can't cover up mistakes - you've just got to go with it! Recently I've imposed time limitations on pictures to force me to not hesitate when applying colours.
I've posted some of them up on YouTube. Take a look if you are interested. I will pretty much paint whatever I feel like at the time, be it films, games, people or something that grabs my attention that's going on in the world...

I generally don't watch reality TV, mostly because I'm content to have graduated from the phase of my own life that was riddled with drama. So there's no feasible reason why I'd want to be a voyeur to someone else's beefs, squabbles, and falling outs, which seem to be the major selling points of just about every show.
That being said, I have seen an episode or two of The Family Hustle on VH1, and it's actually pretty cute.
One thing I've consistently noticed — on the show and in their interviews and just about every time I see them together — is that T.I. is definitely, without a doubt, head of the relationship, to the point I'd call him controlling. Did you see them on the Wendy Williams Show last month? (Howyoudoin, by the way? I love me some Wendy!)
Anyway, watch how he intercepts this question directed at her:
The audience likes it. I guess they're hooting and hollering for the take-charge, alpha male persona. Apparently they're fans of manly men who operate in a me-Tarzan-you-Jane kind of way. But I had to give the situation a slow head shake.
If I were her, my man would have one, maybe two times to cut me off and offer up thoughts on my behalf before I pulled him into the green room and gave him a little pep talk about me having a fully functioning mind and mouth of my own. But alas, that's not Tiny's M.O.
Here's the whole interview in case you missed it.
This isn't an isolated incident. I've heard Tiny say, on several occasions in several arenas, that T.I. doesn't want her to work even though she's gunning to get back into music. I see from the show that she's eeked out permission to launch a nail bar with a partner, but I suspect that everything she does, even from a professional perspective, needs to have the T.I. stamp of approval on it before it can get off the tarmac.
As pro-girl power womanist as I am, I'm OK with the idea of a man being the head of a family. There should be a strong partnership between both people in the relationship, don't get me wrong. Lord strike me down right here and now if I ever get caught up in some obsequious, my-husband-calls-all-the-shots scenario. (I think The Boyfriend can attest that chances of that happening are LeAnn Rimes slim.) But I do believe if you marry a good man, there's no harm in allowing him to make major decisions for the lot of you.
That said, I've got a voice and I'm darn sure gonna use it.
Whatever works for Tiny and T.I. They've been together forever, though I suspect that's largely because she's that ride-or-die chick who's down for her man no matter how many times he gets locked up, how many mistakes he makes, or how many times he robs her of the ability to think an original thought (even though, let's be honest, Tiny ain't gunning to be a philosopher any time soon).
What are some sure signs a man is controlling?

Afghans lead 37% rise in asylum seeker claims
The number of people arriving in Australia to claim asylum jumped by more than a third last year, driven by an increase in arrivals from Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Last year 15,800 people claimed asylum in Australia, up 37 per cent from 2011. Afghan nationals (3079) and Sri Lankans (2345) accounted for more than a third of asylum seekers to reach Australian shores.
The increase in the number of Sri Lankans travelling to Australia by boat attracted intense public and political interest last year.
The number of Sri Lankans - mainly young Tamil men, but also Sinhalese, Muslims and small numbers of women and children - to make an asylum claim in Australia jumped from 371 in 2011 to 2345 last year (a rise of 630 per cent, but from a low base), figures from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees show.
The agency's numbers do not include those who arrived by boat after August 13 last year, when Australia restarted offshore processing and, according to the UNHCR, ''have not yet entered a refugee determination process, or been able to lodge a formal claim for protection''.
The number of Sri Lankans who arrived ''irregularly'' by boat on Australian shores increased by a far greater amount last year, from 211 to 6428.
Continued insecurity across Afghanistan and uncertainty over that country's future post-2014 saw the number of Afghan nationals applying for asylum jump 79 per cent to 3079.
And the number of Pakistani asylum seekers reached 1512 last year, up 84 per cent from 2011.
Australia's asylum seeker numbers, while politically sensitive, remain numerically small. Australia receives about 3 per cent of the total asylum claims made in industrialised countries around the world.
The UNHCR noted in its report: ''By comparison, asylum levels in Australia continue to remain below those recorded by many other industrialised and non-industrialised countries.''
Nearly half a million - 493,000 - asylum claims were lodged in industrialised countries last year, the second highest number on record after 2003.
Europe received 355,000 asylum seeker claims, while North America had 103,000. War, civil strife, political repression and sectarian violence continue to force movements of populations across borders.
In particular, conflict in Syria has prompted a new mass wave of refugees fleeing that country.
Afghanistan continues to provide the most asylum seekers of any country in the world, with 36,600 last year, followed by the Syrian Arab Republic, Serbia, China and Pakistan.
''Wars are driving more and more people to seek asylum,'' the UN's High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, said. ''At a time of conflict, I urge countries to keep their borders open for people fleeing for their lives.''
And while the latest UNHCR figures deal with asylum claims to industrialised countries, more than 80 per cent of refugees live in developing countries.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has previously called for greater equity in assisting displaced people.
''The burden of helping the world's forcibly displaced people is starkly uneven,'' he said. ''Poor countries host vastly more displaced people than wealthier ones. While anti-refugee sentiment is heard loudest in industrialised countries, developing nations host 80 per cent of the world's refugees.''
Afghanistan alone has a diaspora of more than 2.7 million refugees across 71 countries, but more than 95 per cent are in neighbouring Pakistan and Iran.

Yanick has just released a new development release of DBD::Oracle DBD-Oracle-1.43_00. As I mentioned in my blog a week or so ago, this release has a huge number of lines of code changed to remove the use of DBIS (see Changes to make DBIS more efficient and speeding up XS_DBI_dispatch()). This release removes the last few DBIS calls. As a result, if you are using a Perl built for threads (useithreads=define) this release is significantly faster than previous releases.
I've seen CPU usage nearly halved on fetches of large numbers of rows and I've had reports where people are doing lots of different selects for small numbers of rows of up to 10* quicker.
If you depend on DBD::Oracle you are strongly advised to try this version as this was over a 160K diff when I checked it in. If you notice anything broken please post an example to the dbi-users list.
A list of changes in this release is:
- Applied patch from Rafael Kitover (Caelum) to column_info to handle
DEFAULT columns greater in length than the DBI default of 80. The
DEFAULT column is a long and it is a PITA to have to set
LongReadLen which you can only do on a connection handle in
DBD::Oracle. The default maximum size is now 1Mb; above that you
will still have to set LongReadLen (Martin J. Evans)
- Fixed 70meta and rt74753-utf8-encoded to not die if you cannot
connect to Oracle or you cannot install from CPAN if you have not
set up a valid Oracle connection.
- Fixed 75163. Bfile lobs were not being opened before fetching if
ora_auto_lobs was disabled (Martin J. Evans).
Note: this has a minor impact on non bfile lobs when ora_auto_lobs
is not in force as an additional call to OCILobFileIsOpen will be

Rebuild belief
After playing hard and at least staying in all (non-Alabama) games in Mark Stoops' first season, Kentucky appeared to let go of the rope in a demoralizing 59-17 pasting at Georgia. Statistically, there's not much separation between Tennessee and UK, but will the Cats' psyche rebound enough from the collapse in Athens to put up a vigorous fight?
Pressure a young QB
The strength of the Tennessee offense is a veteran offensive line and the running of Rajion Neal. Since starting quarterback Justin Worley injured his right thumb in the Volunteers' loss at Alabama, true freshman Joshua Dobbs has been the Vols' QB. So far, he's thrown zero touchdowns and five interceptions. UT has not passed for more than 128 yards in either of its last two games. Defensively, the Cats need to make the UT passing attack beat them.
The kitchen sink
Kentucky may as well throw it at Tennessee. Beaten up and beaten down, the UK offense has failed to gain 300 total yards in either of its last two games. With Kentucky at 2-9 and with leading rusher Raymond Sanders and key receiver Demarco Robinson suspended, there's no reason not to try every trick in the playbook on the Vols. Historically, Tennessee defenses have proven surprisingly vulnerable to a wide receiver playing quarterback.
Is one of relief that the season is ending. After the euphoria that followed the hiring of Mark Stoops and the coach's early recruiting successes, the new UK head man has endured a difficult first season. With one chance left in 2013 for Stoops to produce a belief-instilling victory, the UK coach is fortunate in this sense: Even with Tennessee mired in mediocrity, there are few foes Kentucky football fans would more relish beating.

BCS Rankings: West Virginia and More Teams That Should Fall Despite VictoriesOctober 30, 2011
In sports it is often said that a win is a win, but some victories are certainly more impressive than others. Most ranked teams picked up wins on Saturday, but quite a few of them exposed their own weaknesses despite winning.
The BCS system doesn't take how a particular team looked in a win into account, so such teams may not be punished. Here are three winners who deserve to fall in the rankings this week.
Virginia Tech Hokies
The No. 12 Virginia Tech Hokies have had a strong year to this point with an 8-1 record, but it hasn't been without bumps in the road. The Hokies averted what would have been an absolutely disastrous loss on Saturday by outlasting the Duke Blue Devils by a score of 14-10.
Virginia Tech really struggled offensively, and while the defense performed well, Duke doesn't have many players who can make you pay. If the Hokies continue to display such a poor effort moving forward, then teams like Georgia Tech and North Carolina will likely be able to expose them. Virginia Tech certainly doesn't deserve to keep its lofty ranking after such a bad showing.
Arkansas Razorbacks
The No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks have had some close calls this season, and they had another one on Saturday as they clipped the Vanderbilt Commodores, 31-28. The Razorbacks trailed for much of the game and had trouble stopping a fairly mediocre Vanderbilt offense.
Arkansas was able to pick things up late in the game, but a missed chip-shot field goal by the Commodores ended up being the winning margin. The Razorbacks won't always be so lucky, and they definitely can't expect to continually come back after terrible starts. Arkansas is a good team, but it is far too inconsistent to remain in the Top 10.
West Virginia Mountaineers
As if a humiliating loss to Syracuse wasn't already enough, the No. 25 West Virginia Mountaineers proved that they don't deserve to be in the BCS rankings after a 41-31 win over Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights were in control for the majority of the game, but the Mountaineers were able to rally late and steal the win.
Even so, West Virginia hasn't played like a Top 25 team over the past couple weeks. The Mountaineers are a mess defensively, and aren't even the best team in the weak Big East as that distinction belongs to Cincinnati. I think the Mountaineers are living off their reputation at this point, and falling out of the standings should be in the cards.

When people think of turkey hunting, decoy placement seems to get over shadowed by calling, scouting and roosting. All of these are very important parts of turkey hunting success. The methods and understanding of the placement of your decoys contribute just as much to a successful hunt as every other part of the equation.
Picking A Spot
Place decoys in an open area, like an agricultural field, power line corridor, or clearing in the woods. Decoys need to be visible to approaching turkeys. The decoys are visual tools used to give wary birds something to focus on as they approach. Sometimes the appearance of other birds in the field will give old toms just enough confidence to close the distance to your set up.
Distance To The Decoys
When it comes to placing decoys, distance is the most important part of your setup. Placing decoys too far away or too close can have adverse effects on the success of your hunt. Place decoys no further than 25 yards from your hiding spot. If the decoys are too far, the tom you pursue could hang up out of range. By sticking with the 25 yard rule, if the bird stops 15 yards from the decoys, he will still be within ethical kill range. Remember this rule changes for bow hunters and younger hunters. Decoys should be moved closer to reflect the shooting ability of the hunter and the equipment they use.
Arranging Decoys
Decoy arrangement may be seen as just random placement of decoys in the field, but there is some method to the madness. There are three basic arrangements for decoys and understanding them may give you an upper hand in the spring woods.
Walking: This arrangement involves positioning decoys in a row, like they are walking or filing off a field. When using this method place turkeys in a row facing all in the same direction, hens in the front and male decoys trailing behind. When placing decoys in this arrangement make sure that decoys appear to be leaving a field, this gives toms a sense of urgency to catch up before the hens disappear. This arrangement works well in areas that turkeys migrate through from roosting to feeding areas.
Feeding: This setup is a random pattern that most hunters use. The feeding pattern usually has birds in the feeding position, with their heads down as if they are picking seeds off the ground. When placing birds in a feeding arrangement, remember if you are using a male decoy, have it facing you and place it behind the hens in your set up. You want that bird to come in and face your male decoy giving you opportunity to get ready for your shot.
Mating: This arrangement is exactly what it sounds like. Position your decoys to simulate birds getting ready to mate. This arrangement is set up with a hen placed directly on the ground, with a tom or jake standing behind her. This decoy setup shows that the hen has become submissive and ready to breed. It will often elicit a fight or flight reaction, either birds will run in looking for a fight or will run away. Young birds will often steer clear of dominant toms, where a dominate bird will run in to fight for the submissive hen.
When hunting remember there is no magical setup that will produce birds every time in the woods, a hunter needs to adapt and learn from their days in the field. If a setup doesn't seem to work for you the first day, change things up a little and try a different arrangement or decoy grouping. Your ability to adapt to the situation will help to ensure your success and knowledge of the game you pursue.

Janet Christie Cautions Pregnant Women
By Art Martens
On a dark street near the outskirts of a prairie community, at age 13
Janet Christie had her first taste of alcohol with a friend. It would be a life altering moment. At 21 she bore Cole. She didn't realize at the time that because she had continued drinking during her pregnancy, her baby's entire life would be severely impacted. Their story is one of turmoil, trauma, terror, and ultimate victory. For anyone contending with difficult circumstances, especially alcoholism and its consequences , they are a beacon of hope. Janet is telling their story because she wants women to be aware of the crushing toll that may be exacted if they drink while pregnant.
In a phone interview from her home near Victoria, she permitted me to enter some of the dark inner recesses of a past that is not pretty. "After I had that first taste of alcohol," she said, "life was never the same again. In the beginning it was fun. Then it was fun with problems. In the end, it was just problems."
Janet grew up in a church going family. Photos indicate she had stunning looks. There were positives, but they were over powered by her thirst for alcohol. Partying took over her life and Cory, her boyfriend, had a similar wild streak. He was 5 years older and had plenty of money. For them the well of alcohol had no bottom.
Janet was 18 when they got married. She became pregnant with Cole 3 years later. Intuition suggested to her alcohol might be harmful to the baby. "My doctor told me the placenta would not permit alcohol to pass through," she said. "His words didn't convince me entirely, but I had no control. Also, we were having serious difficulties in our marriage. Alcohol helped me cope. "
She experienced great relief when Cole entered the world with no apparent complications. "He appeared totally normal, a beautiful lovable baby. I soon decided he was very bright, maybe even a genius," she remembers.
The marriage ended abruptly and suddenly she was alone with Cole and her addiction. Fearing he would be taken from her, she didn't seek help. "I wished I had never taken that first drink," she said, "but how was I to know it would rock my world and catapult me through the gates of hell?"
When he started school, Janet's consternation level soared, but she didn't understand yet that by drinking during the pregnancy, Cole had also been catapulted through those same gates.
"My son, who I believed was brilliant, had great difficulty learning the alphabet and numbers didn't make sense to him," she said, a tremor in her voice. "I knew something was very wrong when he failed grade one. With each increasing grade, life became more difficult for him. Other students told him he was stupid and he reacted by fighting. Teachers accused him of being lazy and not trying. Not being able to learn like the others, he became disruptive in class. Teachers made him sit on a chair in the hallway. He couldn't tell time until he was 10, so frequently he was late for school. A number of schools expelled him."
"At home it was equally difficult," she said. "He became so frustrated and angry, he punched holes in the walls. In one apartment his fists went through to the outside. We were evicted. He thought he must be stupid."
Janet admits she was rarely in a state to give Cole constructive direction or provide supervision. By his 12th birthday, her life was rapidly spinning out of control and consequently so was his. "He was hanging out with older guys and doing drugs. I had lost my job and rarely left the apartment except to get basics, mostly cigarettes, milk and booze."
One morning she awoke and the smell of cigarette butts and the empties scattered on the kitchen table made her stomach churn. In a rare lucid moment, she became frantic. "Suddenly I needed to know where Cole was. I wanted to know if he had come home last night. Was he ok? My son had become a crack addict. I knew I would lose him if I didn't make a radical change. In desperation, I appealed to a recovery support group. That day my healing began."
She hesitated, gathering courage. I wondered if there were tears. "For Cole it was almost too late," she said. "A week into my sobriety, the phone rang in the darkness of the night. A voice at the other end told me Cole was in a closet in a crack house and the police had a gun to his head."
Janet called government services, institutions, universities, vainly seeking help. One worker told her, "you created the problem. You fix it."
"Finally when Cole was 20, a paediatrician diagnosed him with partial FAS. I was then able to explain to him that his problems were my fault. He forgave me long before I forgave myself." Her voice faltered for a moment as she recalled this scene.
"With the diagnosis, I had a better understanding of my son. He needed someone to believe in him, be patient with him, love him and help him."
Now 36, Cole has a siding application business. He is in a relationship with a woman who is understanding and helps him manage his affairs.
Janet finished by offering this advice, "I wish to say to women who have been drinking and find themselves pregnant, stop. The brain is vulnerable the entire 9 months of pregnancy, and the moment you stop drinking is the moment the damage stops. If you can't stop, get help. Today. Contact your nearest alcohol and drug service (1.800.663.1441). There is no shame in asking for help. You have no idea the power each drink has to affect the rest of your life and your baby's life. Forever. FAS is FOREVER."

"It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High,
proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night," Psalm 92:1-2
I've never been a morning person. I am one of those people who take a while to get up and get going. But I must admit that one of my favorite parts of the day at Covenant happens first thing each morning.
As the students fill the hallways, hanging up backpacks and chatting with friends, there is an air of anticipation. Soon our entire community-students and teachers alike-gathers in the hall to begin our day with song. We sing from memory and in unison, from the smallest Kindergarten girls to the tallest high-school boys. We sing songs of faith and praise that have been been sung by countless generations of believers before us. We sing with joy and love and thankful hearts.
The practice of beginning our day with praise has quickly become a beloved tradition at Covenant. A new hymn is chosen each month, and after we sing, a blessing is given to start the day. This time of Morning Lauds draws us together in community, reminding us that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. It allows for a moment of reflection and refocus before beginning the work that God has set before us. And it sets a tone of worship for the day that inspires a culture focused on Christ.
As we sing these hymns from memory, we inscribe their timeless truths on the hearts of the students. This is a gift that they can carry with them throughout their lives. Even when other facts and figures fade, these melodies will bring them back to the gospel truths imbedded in the lyrics.
Over the years, one of my greatest joys has been hearing from families how our Morning Lauds have impacted them. They tell me of the loud and joyous singing that happens when their children recognize the hymns in church, of younger siblings who have latched onto the hymns and sing them incessantly, and of extended family and friends spread abroad who join them in learning these precious songs. What a testimony to the hand of God at work in the broader Covenant community as we enter into worship together!
And though mornings may still find me groggy and slow, the practice of Morning Lauds has transformed mine into something I would not trade for anything.
