VANCOUVER, BC – The schedule is set for the 2014 Amway Canadian Championship (ACC), a national competition that features each of Canada's professional soccer clubs.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC will open the competition against Toronto FC in the first leg of the semifinal on May 7, 2014 at BMO Field, before hosting the Southern Ontario outfit in the second leg on May 14, 2014 at BC Place. Tickets for Amway Canadian Championship matches at BC Place are included in Whitecaps FC season ticket packages. Single match tickets will be available for purchase in the new year.
For the first time ever, the Canadian Championship will feature five teams: Whitecaps FC, Toronto FC, Montreal Impact, FC Edmonton, and newcomer Ottawa Fury FC, who will make their North American Soccer League debut in 2014. They will all vie for the honour to lift the Voyageurs Cup and represent Canada in the 2014-15 edition of CONCACAF Champions League.
Canada's three Major League Soccer clubs are seeded based on the league's 2013 regular season standings. The Impact, who finished with 49 points, will enter the tournament as the top seed, followed by Vancouver (48 points) and Toronto FC (29 points).
FC Edmonton and Fury FC will play a preliminary two-leg series to determine the fourth-place seed. The winner will then meet the defending Canadian champion Impact, who defeated Vancouver on aggregate in the 2013 ACC final, in the semifinal.
2014 Amway Canadian Championship seeding
1. Montreal Impact
2. Vancouver Whitecaps FC
3. Toronto FC
4. Winner of Ottawa Fury FC/FC Edmonton
As per previous years, the semifinal stage of the competition is played on a home and away knockout format in which the highest ranked team will play at home in the second leg. The team which scores the greater aggregate of goals in the two matches qualifies for the final.
The final will also be played on a home and away basis (two legs). The highest seeded team qualified for the final has the option of deciding which leg it plays at home. Once again, the team that comes on top on aggregate for the two matches is declared champion and earns the right to represent Canada in the 2014-2015 CONCACAF Champions League.
This year's tournament could also feature some history, as Whitecaps FC striker Camilo Sanvezzo is currently tied with former Toronto FC midfielder and Canadian international Dwayne De Rosario for the all-time lead in Amway Canadian Championship goals scored with four apiece.
2014 Amway Canadian Championship schedule
(home team listed first)
First leg - April 23, 2014: Ottawa Fury FC vs. FC Edmonton
Second leg - April 30, 2014: FC Edmonton vs. Ottawa Fury FC
First leg - May 7, 2014: Ottawa Fury FC/FC Edmonton vs. Montreal Impact
Second leg - May 14, 2014: Montreal Impact vs. Ottawa Fury FC/FC Edmonton
First leg - May 7, 2014: Toronto FC vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Second leg - May 14, 2014: Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs. Toronto FC
First leg - May 28, 2014*
Second leg - June 4, 2014
*this game will be played on May 27 if Vancouver Whitecaps FC plays at home
Once again this year, the Amway Canadian Championship will be broadcast on Sportsnet.
Toronto FC have won the most titles through the first six editions of the Amway Canadian Championship, having won four championships in a row from 2009 to 2012. The Impact, who won the inaugural competition in 2008, have also claimed two titles. The 'Caps, meanwhile, have been the runners-up in five straight years.

You know what's missing from most DSLRs? Robots. That's right, I said robots. Granted, I say that about pretty much everything, so it's safe to say that I'm a little biased. Thankfully someone over at Pentax is running on the same wavelength, because they're releasing a special edition K-r DSLR that is robot-themed.
Sadly, this is not what I expected from a robot DSLR. I get the color scheme, as it's taken from a rather famous 'bot over in Japan. What I really don't get is why the face and details are drawn on with a marker. I mean, if I'm going to shell out $1,200 for one of these, I'd like someone to take the time to draw some straight lines.

Planetside 2, the massively multiplayer first-person shooter with persistent warfare between three competing factions, is shaping up to be a pleasantly hardcore experience, if a presentation by the team is anything to go by. FPSGuru.com spoke to Sony Online Entertainment's John Smedley and Matt Higby, who described Planetside 2's dynamic, gameplay-affecting warfare, multiple planets, skills that can be trained online or offline (not unlike EVE Online), as well as—and it warms the cockles of my gun's heart to hear it—friendly fire.
For everything that Planetside 2 is doing to make it a more engaging experience (faster respawns, for instance), it's sounding like they're keeping elements that will ensure that teamwork and properly strategic thinking will remain fundamental to a winning faction's playbook.
And if SoE bungles Planetside 2, there's always Firefall.

Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas National Park
Dry Tortugas National Park
Also called the "Gibraltar of the Gulf," construction on Fort Jefferson began in 1846 at the western end of the Florida Keys to protect the Florida Straits. It is the largest all-masonry fort in the western hemisphere, which served as an important Union military post and prison during the Civil War. At one point it was home to some 2,000 occupants, including soldiers, their families, laborers and prisoners. In July 1865, Fort Jefferson received its most infamous prisoners when four men convicted for conspiracy in the assassination of President Lincoln were imprisoned there, including Dr. Samuel Mudd, the Maryland physician who had set the broken leg of John Wilkes Booth. As one of the most remote parks in the national parks system, Fort Jefferson is accessible only by boat and seaplane which depart from Key West, 70 miles away.

Well, actually i got a lot of dependecy errors.
I downloaded qt 3.3.2, extracted in /usr/local/gt, as instructed in its docs and ran ./configure and make commands ....

QT-3.3.0 does not detect freetype
I have this suse 8.0 box where qt-3.3.0 does not even configure properly. It disables xft with these messages:
Xft auto-detection... ()
On the same system, qt-3.2.2 detects freetype just fine with these messages:
Xft auto-detection... ()
This is strange since /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h surely exists. Also "rpm -qa | grep freetype" shows:

Re: QT-3.3.0 does not detect freetype
Ok, it seems QT-3.3.0 requires freetype-2.0.9 or later versions but the config.tests/x11/xfreetype.test file does not print an error message in such a case.
By goodfella at Fri, 2004/02/06 - 6:00am
Re: QT-3.3.0 does not detect freetype
There's a bugin the qt configuration scripts which prevents it from working with freetype 2.1.x (it requires 2.0.9 or greater). In qt-3.3.0b1/config.tests/x11/xfreetype.test, line 132, it checks the version number of the freetype library. It requires it to be 2.0.x, for x>9. Changing the numbers in quotes from "2" "0" "9" to "2" "1" "0" worked for me (compiling qt 3.3.0b1 with version 2.1.0)

Konsole fonts broken again
Maybe this is just an issue with my distribution (Slackware 9.1), but with the latest Qt 3.3 release, the Linux font in Konsole is broken again. Does anybody know where I have to look for the problem? Maybe it is just a misconfiguration or another compile option.

Yeah, When upgrading to KDE 3.2.1 on slackware the linux font on kosole no longer works. I am using bitstream at the moment. I think its a bug in qt. Hopefully it will get fixed soon. :)

In Tasmania, crop circles have been puzzling farmers and government agents.
The answer to the mystery has been revealed.
It's a case of "high as a kite" wallabies getting into government-owned fields of opium poppies, munching on the plants until they get hopped up and then wandering around in circles like the last few partiers at a rave in 2002 trampling the plants that end up in their way.
These drug-fiend marsupials apparently have more of a jones for the opium than Sherlock Holmes without a case to solve.
Tasmania is the world's largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical market.
Wow, maybe this self-loving kangaroo has been visiting these fields.

Naples Resident Establishes Nursing Scholarship Fund in Memory of Late Wife; Conducts Book Signing Event Nov. 12
FORT MYERS, FL - Naples resident Richard Ballo recently established an endowed scholarship in memory and honor of his late wife to benefit students from Collier or Lee counties who pursue the study of nursing at Florida Gulf Coast University.
The FGCU Melissa C. Johnson Nursing Scholarship Fund provides monetary awards for degree-seeking residents of Collier or Lee counties who have been accepted into the nursing program. Preference is given to students who graduated from Collier or Lee high schools and who intend to practice in hospitals or nursing homes.
In 1981, Melissa "Lisa" Johnson founded the M.C. Johnson Co. Inc. (www.mcjohnson.com
Until the launch of her company, Johnson was a Licensed Practical Nurse practicing at Emerson Hospital in Concord, Mass. The hospital work inspired her to invent CATH-SECURE� because she felt there was a better way to secure catheters without the harmful effects of taking tape on and off patients several times a day.
She was born in Lunenburg, Mass., in 1955 and graduated from Leominster High School and the Leominster School of Nursing. Johnson married Ballo in 1986 and had two children. She died from cancer in 1993 at age 38, the year her company moved operations to Naples.
"I established this scholarship to keep my wife's memory alive and to help people become nurses because nurses are the caregivers in healthcare," Ballo said.
Ballo, a professional writer (www.ballobooks.com
To benefit the Melissa C. Johnson Nursing Scholarship Fund, Ballo and Quality of Life Publishing host a book signing event 7 p.m., Friday, Nov. 12 at Borders Books, Music, Movies & Caf� in Granada Shops on the southeast corner of U.S. 41 and Immokalee Road in Naples.
Other individuals and businesses are encouraged to contribute to the scholarship fund as well.

Learning how to attract media coverage was one of the many topics discussed during the Business Wire Media Luncheon: Trends in Today's Newsrooms, hosted by Business Wire Houston on Dec. 12. Clients had the opportunity to hear perspectives from two of Houston's top media professionals: Houston Bureau Chief Richard Stubbe of Bloomberg News and Managing Editor Greg Barr of the Houston Business Journal.
There is no secret formula for attracting media coverage, but both panelists agreed there are things businesses should do when pitching stories. First, the communication should be from a top level executive, preferably the CEO, and personalized, not an obvious email blast to numerous media outlets. Second, include as much vital information as possible, so the story can be directed to the appropriate reporter. Finally, if the pitch is regarding a personnel change, always include a high-resolution photo with the actual story. Stories without photos are generally not even considered.
Barr said the public can even upload profiles and photos on their own via the HBJ website, http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/. The profiles and photos go through an approval process, before being posted to the site in the "People On The Move" section.
An obvious email blast is a pet peeve for both Barr and Stubbe. They would much rather receive pitches for an exclusive story, instead of a pitch that is sent to multiple media outlets.
Some news is automatic for the Houston Business Journal. Barr said the publication compiles a comprehensive list of the Top 25 Houston-based public companies each quarter. Other companies are reviewed, but their inclusion in the publication is not automatic. They also report on stock swings and mergers/acquisitions, if they meet certain criteria.
Covering earnings releases is not what it used to be for Bloomberg News, according to Stubbe. He said there is not as much separate reporting on earnings releases anymore because people tend to read the "actual" earnings release instead of Bloomberg's related article.
In this technology-driven world, the panelists were asked what their publications were doing to keep up with social media. Stubbe said Bloomberg News was still finding its way with social media, but recognized its importance. Barr joked that his perspective on Twitter is to "just follow Ashton Kutcher and go from there." In reality, he said, his staff utilizes all social media options, including Facebook and Twitter. In fact, HBJ stories are instantly tweeted, he added.
Business Wire Houston would like to thank both Richard Stubbe of Bloomberg News and Greg Barr of the Houston Business Journal for serving as panelists, and the BW clients who attended the event.

A field update from CEESP members in the the ALDAW Network (Ancestral Land/Domain Watch) In addition to the alarming expansion of nickel mining on Palawan island (already reported on previous CEESP NEWS releases) indigenous peoples are now being confronted with the threats posed by the expansion of oil palm plantations.
The province of Palawan is part of the "Man and Biosphere Reserve" program of UNESCO and hosts 49 animals and 56 botanical species found in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is also the home of isolated and vanishing indigenous communities.
Agrofuels in Palawan, as elsewhere in the Philippines, have been portrayed as a key solution to lower greenhouse gas emission, achieve energy independence, as well as a tool for poverty eradication. With these objects in mind, the Provincial Government of Palawan is strongly promoting agrofuels development, without taking into account the socio-ecological impact of such mono-crop plantations. As a result, thousands of hectares of lands in the province have been set aside for jatropha feedstock and oil palm.
Oil palm plantations, in Palawan, are being established by the Agumil Philippines Inc., a joint venture between Filipino and Malaysian investors, that also engages in the processing of palm oil. The LandBank of the Philippines is backing the project financially.
The local indigenous network ALDAW (Ancestral Land Domain Watch), in collaboration with other local organizations and Palawan NGOs, is making a call for the implementation of more restrictive regulations on oil palm expansion to halt deforestation, habitat destruction, food scarcity, and violation of indigenous peoples' rights. In addition to this, oil palm plantations are also expanding into the indigenous fallow land (benglay), thus reducing the number of rotational areas needed for the swidden cycle. As of now, the Palawan municipality of Española has the highest percentage of oil palms, and plantations are fast expanding also to other municipalities such as Brooke's Point, Bataraza, Rizal, Quezon, etc. In some municipalities, oil palms are already competing and taking over cultivated areas (e.g. rice fields), which are sustaining local self-sufficiency.
"LandBank's contribution to President Aquino's commitment to develop the rural economy and to raise farmers' income should not include oil palms development. It is well known that this crop benefits better-off farmers and entrepreneurs, rather then small-scale farmers and indigenous peoples. We look forward to more sustainable investments for improving agricultural productivity of marginalized farmers. Meanwhile, a moratorium on oil palm expansion should be implemented with haste" said Artiso Mandawa, ALDAW Chairman.
In the community of Iraray II (Municipality of Española) indigenous people complain that a 'new' pest has spread from the neighboring oil palm plantations to their cultivated fields devouring hundreds of coconut palms by boring large networks of tiny tunnels into the palms' trunks. Local indigenous people showed specimens of this pest to ALDAW mission members, and the insect was later identified as the Red Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus). The red weevil is reported to be a native of south Asia, however, the Palawan of Iraray II claims that they only began to experience massive pest attacks on their coconut groves, after oil palms were introduced into the area at the expense of the local population of buri palms (Corypha elata). The latter is a popular basketry material for both the local Palawan and farmer communities. The trunk of this palm contains edible starch. The bud (ubud) is also edible raw or cooked, as well as the kernels of the nuts.
ALDAW preliminary findings, obtained in collaboration with the Centre for Biocultural Diversity (CBCD) – University of Kent, indicate there is a scarcity of public records showing the processes and procedures leading to the issuance of land conversion permits and environmental clearances to oil palm companies, as well as to the local cooperatives created in the various barangays. Moreover, ALDAW is also in the process of mapping all oil palm locations in Palawan, through the use of geotagging technologies. Evidence indicates that – in most cases - members of indigenous communities, who have 'rented' portions of their land to the oil company, have no clear understanding of the nature of such 'agreements' nor they possess written contracts countersigned by the company. There is a risk that members of local communities who have joined the so-called 'cooperatives' will soon become indebted with the oil company. In fact they provide very cheap labor and also barrow funds to purchase fertilizer, pesticides and equipment, while the company control every aspect of production.
Overall, it would appear that land conversion into oil palm plantations is happening with little or no monitoring on the part of those government agencies (e.g. Palawan Council for Sustainable Development) that are responsible for the sustainable management of the Province.
The new trend in the Philippine Market: switching from coconut to palm oil
There is a new trend in the Philippines, leading to the acceleration of oil palm expansion. National vegetable oil millers and refiners are now keen on selling the cheaper palm oil for the domestic market, so that all coconut oil would be exported. Coconut oil, in fact, commands a higher premium in the international market. However, contrary to oil palms, coconut cultivation is endemic to the Philippines and this palm provides multiple products to local farmers, thus sustaining household based economy.
Since 2005, cooking oil manufacturers have increased imports of the cheap palm oil by 90 percent. The use of the palm oil has progressively increased in the local market as household consumers and institutional buyers have preferred it because of the price difference compared with edible coconut oil.
Fast-food giants such as Jollibee Foods Corp., have switched to palm oil for their business.

50 Sense
Being pricked and prodded can be tiresome, but these screening tests may well be worth your while.
People with HIV are living longer and better than ever before. But, unfortunately, they are also more likely to develop a host of health conditions—thinner bones, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, even cancer. Thankfully, there are screening tests that can help flag a problem early on and potentially even save a life.
If you're HIV positive, chances are that you already see a GP or HIV specialist who tracks your viral load and CD4 counts. If you're over 50, your doctor may also recommend some of the following tests to help you stay ahead of the curve:
Bone density scan
Both aging and HIV can cause our bones to eventually become less dense. Some anti-HIV drugs (notably, tenofovir [Viread, also in Truvada, Atripla, Stribild and Complera]) can also cause a loss of bone density. If you are a post-menopausal woman or a man over 50, speak to your doctor about getting a bone density scan to establish your baseline. After that, your doctor can advise you about how often you will need one to measure the density of your bones.
Blood-pressure monitoring
A blood-pressure monitor measures the force of blood against the walls of your arteries and can help indicate your risk of developing heart disease.
Blood glucose test
This blood test measures your blood sugar level and your risk for diabetes. It is recommended that you have one every three to six months.
Kidney function tests
Because kidney function declines with age and certain HIV drugs (such as tenofovir, atazanavir [Reyataz] and indinavir [Crixivan]) are processed by the kidneys, doctors often recommend that you periodically have blood and urine tests to check your kidney function.
Lipid tests
People with abnormal lipid levels (sometimes called "high cholesterol") are at higher risk for heart disease. Simple blood tests can measure your lipid levels: LDL ("bad" cholesterol), HDL ("good" cholesterol) and triglycerides. Your doctor will recommend that you have these tests once a year or more, depending on your previous measurements and other risk factors for heart disease.
Tests to screen for colorectal cancer
A few tests can detect cancer of the colon and rectum. These include a stool test, a digital rectal exam (where a doctor inserts a gloved finger into the rectum to feel for abnormalities) or a scope inserted into the rectum. Your doctor will let you know how often you should be screened.
Anal pap test
Many HIV-positive people have HPV (human papilloma virus), which can cause anal cancer. To prevent this, speak to your doctor about a clinic in your region that provides screening for anal cancer.
If you're a woman (cis or trans) or a trans man…
Breast exam
To detect possible early signs of breast cancer, your doctor will check for lumps or other abnormalities in your breasts and armpits. It is recommended that you have a breast exam once a year.
A mammogram uses a low-dose X-ray to look for different types of tumours and cysts in the breasts. Speak to your doctor about how often you should have this test.
Pap test
A doctor collects cells from the cervix, which are then examined under a microscope. A Pap test is used to look for cell changes that indicate the presence of cancer or changes that could lead to cancer. You should have a Pap test every year if you're HIV positive and sexually active.
Pelvic exam
A pelvic exam is a physical exam of the internal and external pelvic organs. It is usually combined with a Pap test every year.
If you're a man or trans woman…
Prostate exam
It is recommended that you have a manual digital exam once a year after the age of 40. Your doctor may also order a PSA blood test, which screens for prostate cancer. (PSA screening tests are free in most but not all parts of the country. Check with your doctor to find out if you are eligible for one.)
If this checklist looks daunting, you'll be relieved to know that most of these tests are simple and cause little or no discomfort. For more information about screening tests and what to expect, talk to your healthcare provider or contact CATIE at 1.800.263.1638 or email@example.com.

|Close-up of two different duckweed types: Spirodela polyrrhiza and Wolffia globosa: The latter are less than 2 mm long.
|Scientific classification
Lemnoideae is a subfamily of flowering aquatic plants, known as duckweeds, water lentils, or water lenses. They float on or just beneath the surface of still or slow-moving bodies of fresh water and wetlands. Also known as "bayroot", they arose from within the arum or aroid family (Araceae),[1] so often are classified as the subfamily Lemnoideae within the family Araceae. Other classifications, particularly those created prior to the end of the 20th century, place them as a separate family, Lemnaceae.
These plants have a simple structure, lacking an obvious stem or leaves. The greater part of each plant is a small organized "thallus" or "frond" structure only a few cells thick, often with air pockets (aerenchyma) that allow it to float on or just under the water surface. Depending on the species, each plant may have no root or may have one or more simple rootlets.[2]
Reproduction is mostly by asexual budding (vegetative reproduction), which occurs from a meristem enclosed at the base of the frond. Occasionally, three tiny "flowers" consisting of two stamens and a pistil are produced, by which sexual reproduction occurs. Some view this "flower" as a pseudanthium, or reduced inflorescence, with three flowers that are distinctly either female or male and which are derived from the spadix in the Araceae. Evolution of the duckweed inflorescence remains ambiguous due to the considerable evolutionary reduction of these plants from their earlier relatives.
The flower of the duckweed genus Wolffia is the smallest known, measuring merely 0.3 mm long.[3] The fruit produced through this occasional reproduction is a utricle, and a seed is produced in a bag containing air that facilitates flotation.
Duckweed in various environments[edit]
One of the more important factors influencing the distribution of wetland plants, and aquatic plants in particular, is nutrient availability.[4] Duckweeds tend to be associated with fertile, even eutrophic conditions. They can be spread by waterfowl and small mammals, transported inadvertently on their feet and bodies,[5] as well as by moving water. In water bodies with constant currents or overflow, the plants are carried down the water channels and do not proliferate greatly. In some locations, a cyclical pattern driven by weather patterns exists in which the plants proliferate greatly during low water-flow periods, then are carried away as rainy periods ensue.
Duckweed is an important high-protein food source for waterfowl. The tiny plants provide cover for fry of many aquatic species. The plants are used as shelter by pond-water species such as bullfrogs and fish such as bluegills. They also provide shade and, although frequently confused with them, can reduce certain light-generated growths of photoautotrophic algae. Duckweed is also eaten by humans in some parts of Southeast Asia. As it contains more protein than soybeans, it is sometimes cited as a significant potential food source.[6][7] Some initial investigations to what extent duckweed could be introduced in European markets show little consumer objection to the idea.[8]
The plants can provide nitrate removal, if cropped, and the duckweeds are important in the process of bioremediation because they grow rapidly, absorbing excess mineral nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphates. For these reasons, they are touted as water purifiers of untapped value.[9]
The Swiss Department of Water and Sanitation in Developing Countries, associated with the Swiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technology, asserts that as well as the food and agricultural values, duckweed also may be used for wastewater treatment to capture toxins and for odor control, and that if a mat of duckweed is maintained during harvesting for removal of the toxins captured thereby, it prevents the development of algae and controls the breeding of mosquitoes.[10] The same publication provides an extensive list of references for many duckweed-related topics.
These plants also may play a role in conservation of water because a cover of duckweed will reduce evaporation of water when compared to the rate of a similarly sized water body with a clear surface.
Despite some of these benefits, because duckweed thrives in high-nutrient wetland environments, they can be seen as a nuisance species when conditions allow them to excessively proliferate in environments that are traditionally low in nutrients. This is the case within the Everglades, where surface runoff and agricultural pollution have introduced increased levels of nutrients into an otherwise low-nutrient wetland system, which allows fast growing species such as duckweed to establish themselves, spread, and displace other native species such as sawgrass.
The duckweeds have long been a taxonomic mystery, and usually have been considered to be their own family, the Lemnaceae. They primarily reproduce asexually. Flowers, if present at all, are small. Roots are either very much reduced, or absent entirely. They were suspected of being related to the Araceae as long ago as 1876, but until the advent of molecular phylogeny, testing this hypothesis was difficult.
Starting in 1995, studies began to confirm their placement in the Araceae and since then, most systematists consider them to be part of that family.[11]
Their position within their family has been slightly less clear, but several 21st-century studies place them in the position shown below.[11] They are not closely related to Pistia, however, which also is an aquatic plant in the family Araceae.[11]
The genera of duckweeds are: Spirodela, Landoltia, Lemna, Wolffiella, and Wolffia.
Duckweed genome sizes have a 10-fold range (150 to 1,500 MB), potentially representing diploids to octaploids. The ancestral genus of Spirodela has the smallest genome size (150 MB, similar to Arabidopsis thaliana), while the most derived genus, Wolffia, contains plants with the largest genome size (1,500 MB).[12] DNA sequencing has shown that Wolffiella and Wolffia are more closely related than the others. Spirodela is at the basal position of the taxon, followed by Lemna, Wolffiella, and Wolffia, which is the most derived.[13]
To identify different duckweed genomes, a DNA-based molecular identification system was developed based on seven plastid-markers proposed by the Consortium for the Barcode of Life.[14] The atpF-atpH non-coding spacer was chosen as a universal DNA barcoding marker for species-level identification of duckweeds.[15]
Research and applications[edit]
Research and applications of duckweeds are promoted by two international organizations, The International Lemna Association[16] and the International Steering Committee on Duckweed Research and Applications.[17]
In July 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute announced that the Community Sequencing Program would fund sequencing of the genome of the giant duckweed, Spirodela polyrhiza. This was a priority project for DOE in 2009. The research was intended to facilitate new biomass and bioenergy programs.[18] The results were published in February 2014. They provide insight into how this plant is adapted to rapid growth and an aquatic lifestyle.[19]
Duckweed is being studied by researchers around the world as a possible source of clean energy. In the U.S, in addition to being the subject of study by the DOE, both Rutgers University and North Carolina State University have ongoing projects to determine whether duckweed might be a source of cost-effective, clean, renewable energy.[20][21] Duckweed is a good candidate as a biofuel because it grows rapidly, produces five to six times as much starch as corn per unit of area, and does not contribute to global warming.[22][23] Duckweed removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and it may have value for climate change mitigation.[24]
Duckweed also functions as a bioremediator by effectively filtering contaminants such as bacteria, nitrogen, phosphates, and other nutrients from naturally occurring bodies of water, constructed wetlands, and wastewater.[25][26][27]

Users leaving Fibre Channel for iSCSI SANs find pros, cons
Users who recently updated aging Fibre Channel equipment with new iSCSI SAN products have find ease of use can be a double-edged sword.
Whether or not 2007 becomes known as the "Year of iSCSI," more and more users are making the transition between legacy Fibre Channel (FC) systems and iSCSI for production data. Two users, who recently made the switch, said they've found performance and reliability on iSCSI storage area networks (SANs) suitable for their purposes. But management and configuration issues have, at times, led to bumps in the road.
Last year the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers branch in Huntington, W. Va., replaced a six-year-old Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP)/Compaq HSG80 Fibre Channel array with an iSCSI SAN from LeftHand Networks Inc. The Army Corps of Engineers had never been happy with the complexities of managing a Fibre Channel SAN, but as IT specialist Mark Kash said, "You make an investment, you don't just throw it away. This is taxpayer money, and we had to suffer until we got some kind of ROI out of it."
Kash said the SAN's ease of use began with configuration and didn't end there. "The speed is sufficient, I don't have to log in via an obscure console, and any number of people in our department can hook up an Ethernet cable very easily," Kash said. "With Fibre Channel, there's one guy who knows how to do it."
However, there was one instance where the SAN may have been too easy to use. One of the nonstorage administrators in the shop accessed the SAN when trying to help users with a troubleshooting problem, thinking the users were running up against volume size limits.
"They were able to change the size of our volumes, not understanding that what the users were really running up against were quotas we'd set on purpose," Kash said. "That's one disadvantage to ease of use -- people get in there thinking they're trying to help and get a little too brave." Kash said he's since strengthened the password.
Another of LeftHand's claims is that its SAN runs on industry-standard server hardware, rather than requiring the management of complex disk arrays. But Kash said there has been one drawback to that feature -- LeftHand partners with server vendors for underlying hardware. The Army Corps of Engineers' LeftHand clusters started out running on MPC Corp.'s DataFrame 440 server. But as of the release of SAN/iQ 7.0 this year, that particular model from MPC wouldn't support the upgrade, according to Kash.
"LeftHand was really good about helping us get it replaced and eating a big part of the cost," Kash said, but the hardware had to be completely swapped out.
The Gem Group: Price right, MPIO a little trickier
Like the Army Corps of Engineers, promotional products wholesaler The Gem Group had struggled along with an aging Fibre Channel SAN, this time a Magnitude Classic from Xiotech Corp. Initially, the IT folks at the wholesaler were uncomfortable with iSCSI's reliability and whether or not it was "ready for prime time," according to technology manager Brian Smith.
But Fibre Channel expertise was in short supply at Gem Group. "I was the only one in our group that ran that portion of our network," Smith said. "It was more difficult to manage, and there are training issues and costs associated with all of that." When he investigated newer products on the market, including SANs from Compellent Technologies, EqualLogic Corp., LeftHand, Network Appliance Inc. (NetApp), EMC Corp. and Pillar Data Systems Inc., Smith became convinced that iSCSI SANs were indeed ready for prime time.
Smith liked the fact that Compellent and EqualLogic bundled in features such as replication, rather than selling them as separate licenses. "Xiotech and EMC were going to charge us somewhere in the range of $50,000 to $75,000 more for the total package than it was going to cost for Compellent or EqualLogic because we wanted replication," he said.
After that, Smith still wasn't done pushing the vendors on price. "Probably the biggest sticking point during our final evaluation was the ability to extend the service for three years," he said. "EqualLogic gave us terms, but they weren't as attractive." Smith declined to give specifics on the pricing of the different service options.
The Gem Group went with a Compellent Storage Center SAN. Smith finds the SAN's range of reporting capabilities make it easy to use, and, he notes, "I haven't even looked into everything I can use yet." However, Gem Group was still concerned about maintaining the reliability of the system and decided to put in a multipath I/O (MPIO) infrastructure connecting servers to the SAN via a QLogic iSCSI host bus adapter (HBA) and Ethernet switch.
"Getting multipathing right took a little while," Smith said. "You can't just plug everything in and then test it. We had to get a procedure in place for setting up each element in the correct order." Compellent's test and development lab had to get involved, and it took several weeks to accomplish, but it did eventually work.
Now that it's working, Gem Group "has the formula," and Smith said he's happy with the support he received from Compellent during the whole process. "They stuck with me," he said. "They wanted to see it happen too."

Pratt Foundation
The Pratt Foundation was established in 1978 by Richard and Jeanne Pratt with the shared vision of supporting charitable enterprises and adding value to philanthropy. The Foundation is now one of the largest private sources of philanthropy in Australia.
As Heloise Waislitz, the Chair of The Pratt Foundation says, "Involvement in philanthropy brings great responsibilities. But it is also a great privilege to be involved in activities which are aimed at enriching the communities in which we live".
The Pratt Foundation has shifted from being predominately re-active to submissions to being predominately pro-active in its choice of projects. The Foundation pursues its own initiatives and no longer considers unsolicited submissions.
Perhaps the best way to sum up the journey so far and to point the way ahead, is to consider the Foundation's mission statement: "To enrich the lives of our community". This statement highlights the diversity and pluralism of the communities which The Pratt Foundation serves in Australia and Israel and its commitment to add value to them.
Some years ago The Pratt Foundation adopted a grant making policy that is more strategic and pro-active in our areas of interest and to enrich the lives of the community more productively and efficiently. The Foundation no longer accepts unsolicited submissions.
The Foundation continues to fund a variety of philanthropic activities. But the choices are made on the basis of the research and initiatives the Foundation undertakes.

Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (PIDs)...but wait ...there's more!
Hmfff.....looks like I was wrong thinking 1.5mm high text was a good idea.
It so happened that one of our electrical engineers has just had an eye operation and was having an awful time trying to read my drawings.
I realised they would have to be changed to 2mm high, which a huge nuisance as I have done quite a few drawings.
Just to add to the fun, it appears that the requirement is for each sheet to show mainly just one item, so a drawing might only have one tank, with it's associated piping and pumps. So the emphasis is still on systems, just at a finer level.
The drawings I had done were not wasted, as they became the detailed PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAMS. Some upside to this as I have a bad habit of trying to squeeze too much onto one drawing usually.
I have started on a lisp routine to deal to errant drawings: it is called FIX.lsp. When it is up and running I will post it.
In the meantime, in a rush of enthusiasm that has just evaporated, I have just gotten the skeleton of a routine together that should make PID drudgery a little easier.
The idea of the routine, called ADTAGS.lsp, is that you have done all the graphical elements of your drawing, that is you have drawn all the valves and pipelines in, and you now wish to add tags to all the items in the drawing. For instance you may have 3 manual valves, and you want to label them with tags, HV001,HV002 and HV003, as per the picture above.
Here is the routine, which is obviously far from finished:
;Program written by Bill Le Couteur
;Auckland NZ
;Rev 0 date 14-4-12
;This program adds tag numbers to a bunch of blocks
;only works for blocks named "VALVE MANUAL" at the moment

(setvar "attdia" 0); turns off the dialog box you get when issuing ate commmand
(setq ss1 (ssget "X" '(( 0 . "INSERT")( 2 . "VALVE-MANUAL")) ))
;gets a selection set of the whole drawing, filtering for the block we want
(setq the_no_of_members(sslength ss1))
;how many members in the selection set?
(while (< count the_no_of_members)
(setq en (ssname ss1 count))
(setq edata (entget en))
(setq theposn(cdr(assoc 10 edata)))
(setq the_x (car theposn))
(setq the_x ( - the_x 5))

What do our clothes say about us? Why do spend so much time on what we wear? What happens when we don't?
Starting Monday, June 21st, a group of people from California to Dubai are going to take part in a little experiment: each participant gets to choose six (and only six) items of clothing and pledge to wear only these six items of clothing for a month. They'll share their experiences via a group blog throughout the course of the month.
People have asked what the philosophy is behind the experiment and most assume it's a statement about consumerism. In reality, we haven't dictated a driving thought. Rather it's about putting a challenge out there and seeing what people bring to it and do with it. Even in this pre-experiment era it's turning out to be a nice brief: tight enough that there are walls and consistency, loose enough that the output will be varied and ripe for discussion.
To understand what people are bringing to the table, the one question we ask at sign up is "why"? So far, the primary motivation falls into one of four camps:
1) anti-consumerism
2) the mental freedom that comes with a uniform
3) creativity ("let's see how inventive I can be with this limitation")
4) masochism
There are a few things that we're really liking about this experiment that will hopefully make us smarter about people and communities down the road:
1) The experiment itself. We're deadly curious to see how the month will go and what it will unveil about the participants and their relationship to their clothes.
2) The speed at which it went from a little idea amongst two friends (myself and my former colleague at Fallon London, Tamsin Davies) to an idea that has been embraced by people globally and how digital tools are allowing to manage and keep pace with the spread.
3) The fact that this isn't about an agency or a brand, but rather it's first and foremost about collaboration with a community of curious people. The experiment has grown and breathes with that community and if we can help it continue to do so, should be quite interesting. That being said, in true spirit of BETA we're the midst of updating the blog so it can handle a larger community (should be ready by Saturday) and also looking to add in some data capture and perhaps a sponsorship mechanism into the site experience.
It starts Monday the 21st – brave enough to give it a shot? You have until Sunday to sign up, details are here.
If not, please still let us know what you think about the project here and follow along @sixitemsorless or sixitemsorless.wordpress.com.

It could be a accessory change or a above change which can absolutely about-face about your home. A home advance accommodation offers you an befalling to accomplish that advance to about-face your home into a dream home.
There are assorted means by which an alone can go for a home advance loan.
Secured home advance accommodation in this accommodation the borrower provides a aegis to the borrower. The aegis could be any affair either a car or any added asset of the borrower.
Home disinterestedness is addition blazon of anchored home advance accommodation area the aegis provided by the borrower can be alone his home for which the accommodation has been taken.
Home advance is basically an disinterestedness accommodation area the aegis is capital for the borrowing of the loan. However if the accommodation bulk is beneath £10000 again an apart home advance accommodation can be borrowed. An apart home advance accommodation does not crave the borrower to accommodate any affectionate of accessory to lender. These loans accordingly backpack a little college amount of absorption (about 1% – 2%) again the anchored loans. This is the aftereffect of lender accoutrement up for his accident factor. The accepted absorption amount is about 11.4% (variable)
Everyone in this apple has home even humans with bad acclaim history,
People like, CCJ's, defaults, arrears, backward payments or humans who accept ahead abounding for bankruptcy. A acclaim account is accustomed to all UK humans who accept ahead taken loans.

There are added allowances of home advance as able-bodied which abounding humans do not apperceive about.
o If you go for home advance it increases the amount of the home which helps the owners if the buyer wants to advertise the house. It generally helps in accepting a bigger accord for the home as a furnished home would back a bigger amount again an arid one.

That won't happen, I would rather they give Fiji, Samoa and Tonga a home game each than throwing a few matches away to Australia.
