Some thoughts on the outlines of a Mars economy and how a Mars Consortium might develop profitable activities which generate revenue that can then be ploughed back into colony development.
Basing my analysis on a figure of $20,000 per kg for transit from Mars to Earth, I think the following revenue earners could be pursued by early colonists.
1. Sale of regolith- I think a figure of $100,000 per kg will be quite reasonable. Even ordinary Mars dust will be a very valuable commodity (as is ordinary lunar dust). The demand will come from universities and research institutes on Earth.
2. Sale of meteorites.
Meteorites on Earth are collected by both scientists and private collectors. Rare meteorites can be worth millions of dollars. Mars meteorites will be rare almost by definition. I think we could be talking about $500,000 per kg for the right meteorites. Geology.com offers advice over the web on the pricing of meteorites. At the cheap end these can start at around 50 cents per gram. But rare Mars and lunar meteorites may sell for $1,000 per gram or more – much more in some cases. So a kilogram meteorite could cost around a $1million or more.
3. Export of gold, platinum, diamonds and other precious metals and stones. With gold currently trading at over 50,000 dollars a Kg, this could be a major source of revenue. Of course it does depend on the colonists discovering exposed gold sources on the surface – no reason why not as no one else is prospecting for gold. Similarly other precious metals and stones could produce huge amounts of revenue.
4. General commercial sponsorship. The sponsorship available for the initial landings should be on a par with the Olympics. But there will be opportunities for ongoing sponsorship e.g. of exploration missions to Olympus Mons or the Grand Canyon of Mars or to the polar region. Commercial sponsorship of the Olympics amounts to about $1000 million in the Olympic year. I think we could assume the initial landing could attract sponsorship of about $500million at least. Subsequent explorations should be able to clear at least $200million a time I would say. The first mission to Mars would generate huge interest on Earth with frequent bulletins on news programmes around the planet. This is what really attracts big sponsorship.
5. Sponsored colonists. The "gap year" student. There will be no shortage of young suitably qualified personnel who would wish to be part of the experience of building the Mars colony as part of an interval between education and work. And, who can doubt that employees back on earth would be keen to employ young enterprising people who take part in this way and show determination, fortitude and a high level of skill acquisition? Of course the gap year concept will be extended somewhat – it may be a round trip of 2.5 years, with perhaps 1.5 actually spent on Mars.
4. University of Mars franchise - establishment of a University on Mars. This could be the subject of competition between the best endowed seats of learning on Earth. Those with a strong planetary science and astronomy bias might be tempted to sink a lot of money into such a project, especially if they were being guaranteed a head start over their rivals. Mars University of Harvard? Sorbonne Mars? Kyoto Mars University? It might begin as a small postgraduate teaching and research facility. A University, possibly with a benefactor's backing might be prepared to sink several hundred million dollars into such a foundation and continue to fund at a significant rate. The University franchise would then be biying life support, transit facilities and so on from the Mars Consortium.
5. Sale of Mars TV rights. Clearly exclusive TV rights to the initial Mars landings would have huge value. I think we could be talking about $200-500 million – with the globe parcelled up into about 10 lots.
6. But later exploration missions TV rights will also command high prices.
7. Once agriculture is up and running, there will be a significant market across Earth for luxury foods and wine from Mars. How about a bottle of "Mars Champagne" at $200,000? Any takers? There will be.
8. Luxury goods – e.g. a Mars Rolex. The mechanism might be made on Earth, but the watch is finished on Mars with Mars gold.
9. Sale of "real time" interactive experience on Mars. If we can beam back 3D data from Mars, there would be scope I think for interactive facilities on Earth. Eg. on Earth you get to move replica rocks around with an automated digger, but the automated digger on Mars performs the same action. And perhaps drills into the rock to analyse it. Lovers and individuals might pay to drill their names into Mars rock.
11. Mars tourism. If we can develop direct shot rocket technology, I think there will be scope for development of Mars tourism – people coming to Mars for perhaps 2 month stays and going on treks to the major tourist sites (e.g. Olympus Mons). Of course, initially, this will be the province of the super-rich but if the colonists can master home grown
12. Leasing of land and bonds. This is more speculative - as the economic potential of Mars becomes clear, so will the urge to invest. If there is a legal framework backed by a group of Earth nations or the UN, this will allow the sale of land (perhaps on long leases) and also investment bonds. If a million square kilometres was sold off at $10,000 a square kilometre, that would raise $10 billion. People would likely view these as very long term investments.
Firstly, as on Earth, location next to a convenient water supply will be a vital settlement factor. Therefore we can expect settlements to be located in those parts of the planets where we get good readings for water vapour and/or where there are large glaciers.
Secondly, as on Earth settlements will probably avoid the coldest parts of the planet (although, as on Earth, there might be scientific outposts in the polar regions).
Next, we have to have regard to the energy source which is most likely to be solar. That means that areas in shade for a long part of the day will be avoided and equatorial regions will be favoured.
Ease and safety of the landing area will be another factor. That will tend to favour the Northern plains.
Tourism will in due course become an important part of the Mars economy, both internally and in terms of attracting visitors. We can imagine that both Olympus Mons, which enjoys an elevation of over 21,000 metres and Valles Marineris will be rival or complementary attractions. So we can expect settlements to grow up at both those locations to serve visitors.
The other main influences on settlement location will be: scientific interest and mineral deposits. We will certainly be looking to site one or more settlements close to high quality iron ore and aluminium deposits in order that they can become metal making and metal working centres. In connection with steel production we might also favour those areas with rare deposits of calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate (in the form of limestone) has an important role to play in steel production on Earth as a material that draws off impurities from the molten ore, thus facilitating the production of pure iron. Carbon has a vital role to play in iron and steel manufacture. Depending on the quantities of carbon introduced into the mix, the metal has different properties. The right amount of carbon is essential to produced a good hard steel. Of course carbon can be extracted from the atmosphere on Mars via carbon dioxide, which will available everywhere.
The presence of high grade gold and diamonds could be another very important factor, given that their high value to low mass ratio make them candidates for Mars exports to Earth. We don't yet know whether these will be present and accesssible on MArs.
Taking all the above factors into account, the likelihood is that there will be a bias towards settlements being located in the Northern Hemisphere, but close to the equator, possibly close to glaciers (if permafrost deposits of water ice are not available). Proximity to iron and aluminium deposits will be of great importance.
We must remember that human beings always bring an economy with them. It is really the presence and activity of human beings on Mars which will generate economic output. People use energy, need habitats, require food, wish to visit each other – so on and so on. It is the activity of meeting needs that will create the real Mars economy. Although we will start with a picture of isolated self-sufficient bases, soon inter-base trade routes will spring up.

Wow, you're the ideas factory.
What about the clash between scientific research on the surface and building an economy? For example, this paper -
- proposes to make important sites on Mars off-limits to development in order to preserve them. This would almost certainly include a lot of the tourist must-sees. So perhaps the visitor centre would be built at some distance from the edge of Marineris and they drive in.
It's already sounding like the Red Mars / Green Mars dichotomy in KS Robinson's novels, don't you think? How can there be an agreed balance?
-- Because it's there! --
I've never read Robinson's novels, although they sound interesting. What is the dichotomy?
The idea of declaring planetary parks is a good one and yes, one would hope visitor centres were located outside those parks. I would prefer to see the parks established by a Mars Consortium rather than the UN. These are big issues for how Mars will develop in the fuure. I think it is likely to be much more successful and interesting if a Mars Consortium dominated by Space X has control, rather than UN appointed officials.

Everyone loves SpaceX! - except for competitors such as ULA.
I've never read Robinson's novels, although they sound interesting. What is the dichotomy?
The first book tracks (among other things) a running debate, then a kind of civil war, between various people and factions who want Mars to stay as it is, un-terraformed, pristine, mainly so they can do science, find life, etc - ecological-type concerns - and the others who to varying degrees are keen to change Mars to suit humankind. Loosely labelled 'Reds' and 'Greens', except the Greens are not the ecological ones on Mars!
I'd recommend reading all 3 asap! Written in the '90s I think but still ahead of their times in many ways.
-- Because it's there! --
We have already seen some people on Earth argue that we should leave Mars in pristine condition and explore only by robot, given the possibility of existing or now extinct life on Mars (even though it is very likely some Earth DNA has already found its way to Mars hitching a ride on Mars-bound spacecraft).

louis, the inital post is like several other closely related topics of economic of Mars as it relates to exports of mars but we will be waiting decades it would seem to get to that place in which men can go to mars and build empirers off from what is naturally there.
The idea of declaring planetary parks is a good one
Very very bad idea. At the Mars Society convention of 2004 in Chicago, one individual claimed we have to act fast before it's too late, to declare vast tracts of Mars as preserves that cannot be touched. I stood up to argue against him. My political views are generally moderate, but this time I sounded like a red-neck conservative. I said if we did that then why would anyone want to go to Mars? There are people today willing to sell their house, sell their car, liquidate their life insurance, liquidate their retirement savings and pension plan, all for a ticket to go to Mars. The reason is specifically to get away from the unreasonable overbearing excessive regulation that exists on Earth today. If we duplicate all that unreasonable overbearing excessive regulation on Mars, before anyone has even set foot on the Red Planet, then why would anyone want to go? This individual proposed regulation treating Mars like Antarctica. I pointed out from a business standpoint, Antarctica is an abject failure. Several resources have been identified: iron ore, coal, oil, gold, and other resources. None have been commercially utilized. So from an industry or economic standpoint, Antarctica is an abject failure. The fact we can reserve one of the seven continents of our planet for the scientists to go play in, demonstrates just how rich we've become. But if we do that to the entire planet Mars, who's going to pay the bills? Or, you could look at it in terms of resources instead of money. After all, money is an artificial construct. On Mars we need materials to build pressurized habitats and life support systems. Opportunity discovered something that a grad student working for Dr. Carol Stoker called "blueberries". Those "blueberries" turned out to be hematite concretions. They're rich iron ore. And we can use the Direct Iron method to smelt them. The Direct Iron method uses less coal and produces fewer carbon emissions than any other method of smelting. And it costs less, which is why industry on Earth uses it. However, it only works with very high grade ore. Luckily the hematite concretions are that high grade ore. This is important for Mars because it operates at lower temperature; still +900°C (or a little higher) but low enough that you can directly use the heat from a nuclear reactor. You don't have to convert to electricity, then convert the electricity to heat. Using the heat directly is far more efficient. (The speaker who proposed the preserves cringed when I mentioned nuclear reactors.) And there is anorthite and bytownite which can be smelted to produce aluminum. (I first gave my presentation about smelting aluminum at that convention, earlier that same day.) Then I said, but realize what we're talking about. Harvesting hematite concretions means open pit strip mining. Are you going to ban open pit strip mining on Mars? (He made a cough of exasperation when I mentioned "open pit strip mining".)
Do not pander to the "Planetary Protection" people. If they had their way, humans would never leave Earth. The whole point of Mars is a new place to live, a place start over without all the ridiculous over-regulation and taxes that exist here. If you pander to them, they'll argue against MCP spacesuits due to the danger of DNA from human dead skin leaking through the fabric onto the surface of Mars. Of course high UV-B and UV-C together with perchlorates in soil will sterilize anything that gets out, but those who are irrational just don't care. If Mars is going to have any parks at all, that's a decision for people who live there. Not for people on Earth to decide. So until we permanently settle Mars, no parks, no preserves, no nuthin' (double negative and misspelling on purpose).
One thing for sure is that mining and processing of mars will lead to a successful mars in the future.
Aluminum processing
I think I would add to my list at least one other category:
The First Phenomenon.
There will be a lot of organisations on Earth wishing to get a toehold on Mars to, as it were, "plant their flag" there. What better way than to organise something that can claim to be the "first" on Mars?
So for any activity you can think of, which has a world organisation, there will be a potential source of money.
Why wouldn't various sports federations not want to sponsor export of their sport to Mars? FIFA might well be prepared to fund a competition on Mars for instance. Same will got for lots of other sports: golf, tennis, and so on. They plant their flag on Mars and they get a lot of free publicity back on Earth.
It's not just sport though. Some bank will want to have the first ATM machine on Mars, or open a first branch there. McDonalds may want to establish the first burger outlet on Mars...
On and on it will go...
Let's Go to Mars...Google on: Fast Track to Mars blogspot.com
You are suggesting a Mars product brand recognition not only for providing it for mars but also for once man can build it on mars....
For Louis re topic and settlement of Mars in general...
The Space Show has scheduled a provocative speaker, who has (apparently) written an article which is negative about Mars.
This should be just the sort of thing that would stimulate discussion here.
4. Thursday, Sept. 5 , 2019: 7-8:30 PM PDT (9-10:30 pm CDT; 10-11:30 PM EDT): We welcome GEORGE DVORSKY, Senior Staff Writer for Gizmodo, regarding his recent article "Humans Will Never Colonize Mars." .
I have found references to The Space Show in the NewMars archive, so I know that more than one person knows about this resource.
Growing a mars economy is the second goal of each mission cycle....

Sperry review
December 11, 2018
As the snow starts to fly and the 2018 winter season approaches its time to think about obtaining correct apparel to stay comfortable and warm.
The leather Sperry shoe is a warm and somewhat waterproof, comfortable shoe for the cold days to come. I recently purchased a pair and I absolutely love them. I ordered them off of the internet shoe store Zappos. And they came instantly.
Shipping was supposed to be three to six days and they were here the next day! I have only had them a week, and so far they are very warm. They are standing up to the cold November days. As of right now they are very comfortable.
They are put together very well with leather and a durable rubber outsole for going out and about. They don't show any signs of falling apart anytime soon. As busy as I am they are very convenient with their slip on and go feature. I highly recommend this shoe for everybody in the winter season. The best part is both men and women could wear them.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala — On this day 56-years-ago, four young black girls were murdered when a bomb planted by Ku Klux Klan members exploded at their 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama.
Their names were Addie Mae Collins, 14, Denise McNair, 11, Carole Robertson, 14, and Cynthia Wesley, 14.
Some 400 people were inside the church at the time of the bombing, and 17 other church-goers were injured in the blast. Riots broke out in Birmingham as racial tensions simmered to a new high and two other young black boys, Virgil Ware, 13, and Johnny Robinson, 16, were shot to death by white men.
Ware was gunned down by a white teenager and Robinson was shot to death by a police officer who fired at a crowd of young black boys.
The 16th Street Baptist Church was a predominantly black congregation which also served as a meeting place for prominent civil rights leaders. The Ku Klux Klan attacked the church just two and a half weeks after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led the civil rights March on Washington.
Outrage over the girls' death and the protests which followed helped draw national attention to the civil rights movement. It also paved the way for the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and abolished Jim Crow laws that upheld segregation across the South.
Decades after the attack, four Klansmen were eventually convicted for their roles in what's now considered one of the single most horrifying acts committed by racists during the civil rights era.
One of the perpetrators, Thomas Edwin Blanton Jr. is still alive in jail. He is now 89-years-old and was denied parole in 2016.
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden visited the church on Sunday, and said the country hasn't "relegated racism and white supremacy to the pages of history" as he framed current tensions in the context of the movement's historic struggle for equality.
And, taking to social media, many still remember and acknowledge the girls' deaths as a defining moment in the historical civil right moments.

There are several versions of the pattern included in the book and differ slightly from the pattern listed in Hilyard's book 'Carrie G. Stevens: Maker of Rangeley Favorite Trout and Salmon Flies'. The changes from the original are minimal. Carrie tied her Blue Devil's using silver flat tinsel in both the tag and rib. She also used a brown and white barred feather from the ruffed grouse for the shoulder. Marcelo ties his devils using a barred feather from a Hungarian partridge.
Marcelo Morales – I began fly fishing in the early seventies. Jorge Donovan and Bebe Anchorena were my mentors, they were fantastic casters and know the rivers intimately. Both were very good friends of Joe Brooks and it was from him that they learnt the way of the big streamers and monster browns. Just to make my life easier, I build bamboo rods and fish them a lot along my country. My mother paints watercolors, and my father painted with oils when he was young so I think fly fishing in my case is another form of art and I try to feel like an artist creating something unique every time I tie a fly, build a rod or fish.

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen
We are offering a three-year PhD fellowship in Bioorganic Chemistry. The PhD fellowships are financed by the Independent Research Fund, Denmark –Council for Natural Sciences. The fellowship is available from 1 October 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Project description
Our laboratory has recently developed technology for identifying the chemical messenger molecules responsible for quorum sensing and cross-talk between staphylococci within the microbiome. These messenger molecules are called auto-inducing peptides (AIPs). In this project, we will develop an improved, second-generation trapping method and apply it to the mapping of AIPs from a broad selection of bacteria. Subsequently, all of the AIPs will be chemically synthesized to provide sufficient material to determine potencies as quorum sensing inhibitors, against the most important Gram-positive human pathogens.
Finally, the associated bioinformatics will be combined with AIP identity, activity, and origin of the bacteria to guide potential future strategies to target infectious pathogens. Thus, the successful candidate will gain extraordinarily multidisciplinary research education through hands-on experience from all laboratories in a close collaboration between the Olsen Lab, Prof. Hanne Ingmer's laboratory at Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, and Statens Serum Institut.
Principal supervisor
Professor Christian A. Olsen, Center for Biopharmaceuticals, Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology
Our group and research
With a foundation in chemical synthesis, the Olsen Lab seeks to explore the function of small molecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and proteins in biological systems. We are focusing on peptidomimetic secondary structures with potential for supramolecular assembly and multivalent display. We are also exploring naturally occurring macrocyclic peptides and analogues thereof for development of class- or isoform-selective HDAC inhibitors and quorum sensing modulators, as well as investigating substrate-specificity of the human lysine deacylase enzymes using chemical biology tools. The laboratory is comprised of around a dozen students and postdoctoral associates of various nationalities and with backgrounds in chemistry, biochemistry, and engineering.

Need advice on feeding a 5-month-old

Need advice on feeding a 5-month-old
Hello, I need some advice on feeding my baby son of 5 months old.
Since about 2 weeks ago, he refused to take his formula. If we are lucky he may be willing to take 100ml the maximum then stops and cries if we force it on him. Sometimes he simply refuses to open his mouth when he sees the milk bottle! I have heard that some babies do reach a stage which is so-called 'tired-of-milk stage'. I am not surprised if he is tired of his formula as he has been on the same formula for 5 months ~~~
But, he is too young to feed solely on rice cereal / porridge. I did introduce some rice porridge (very small portion) to him about a week ago simply to get him used to the feeling of spoon-feed and to try swallowing. I note that when I put some fresh apple juice in the rice porridge he is very happy to take it.
It makes me wonder if I can add something (something I don't know what) with some flavour (vanilla flavour for instance) into his formula so he may be happy to feed?! Are there anything like that in the market that I can put into the formula? I worry he will lose weight if he only take less than 100ml at each feed.
you don't say how many feeds per day he's taking, though.... which is really important information. what is important is his total feeding for the day, not the per feed amount.... for example, perhaps he's eating less, but more often?

He is feeding 5 times a day, once every four hours. I give him 210ml at each feed.
Q. I have a 5 month old son. He has been fighting me to eat for about a month. He loves cereal, fruits and vegetables but does not like sucking on his bottle. At times he will suck down a bottle very quickly and finish it, but most of the time he cries and jerks his head around. Eventually he will decide he is ready to eat and he will eat 2 to 5 ounces and be done. Before this he was eating about 5 to 7 ounces every 3 hours plus cereal in both the morning and evening. Now his bottles range in amount and he eats every 4 hours. His formula intake for a day ranges from 18ish to about 22ish. I am wondering if this is enough formula in a day for a 5 month old (he is small for his age because he was 5 weeks early, he weighs about 15 pounds and is 25 inches long)? Also, do you know what could be bothering him that suddenly he hates to suck on a bottle (some people say teething is the problem)? Any suggestions on what I can do to get him to want to eat? My pediatrician is not worried and stated that as long as he is growing it is ok. Karen, Little Egg Harbor, NJ
A. That amount of formula is below the 24 to 32 ounces of baby formula that you would expect a 5 month old baby to eat.
Among the reasons why an infant might be drinking less baby formula like this include that:
•he is going through a little slowdown in his growth, although this should only last a few days or so
•you are feeding him too many solid foods, and much more than the 3-5 tablespoons of cereal a day and 1-2 tablespoons of fruits and vegetables once or twice a day that a 4-6 month old baby might be eating. Keep in mind that some infants aren't even eating cereal until they are 6 months old, so any amount of fruits and vegetables could be too much for some babies.
•the nipples of his bottles aren't letting enough formula out and he is getting frustrated. If this might be the case, you could consider upgrading to a medium or fast flow nipple for his bottles.
•you are either waiting too long to feed him or are feeding him too early. Either could cause problems and you might experiment with the timing of his feedings to see if it makes a difference.
•that he is teething, although you should feel or see some teeth if this were the case.
It could also be that he just prefers solid food. Does he do better with his bottles if you first give him some cereal? If that is the case, you might completely separate the times that he eats baby food and formula, so that he doesn't expect them together.
Or it could just be normal. The fact that 24-32 ounces if the average intake of baby formula means that some are drinking more and others are drinking less, and all can be healthy and growing well.

Just came back home from the ER since I was getting really restless from pain at work. And yup, it is broken. The little bone on the top of the leg that comes down from my little toe is broken. It has a big crack in it that is about 2-3cm long. I do not have a cast or anything, the doctor said that it wasn't that bad but I just have to be careful not to hit it into anything since the bones haven't shifted or anything like that. And I can walk, so not all is bad. Thanks for the well thoughts. I am at my parents house and they are helping me with the girls as long as my foot is as painful as it is now.
Foot update.

I hope your foot heals quickly, and that while it's healing, you get lots of stitching done! As for finishing Night and Day, perhaps a cube? I learned how to do them on Vonna's blog, and they're so easy and quick. No sewing needed, which is good for a non-sewer like me.
Vona að fóturinn batni fljótt og vel!
Sendi góða strauma
YIKES, take care…that sounds painful and the prior picture of your wee tootsie made me want to cry!
Good thoughts for a speedy recovery! As if I know anything about that! 😉
Æ, æ, æ Linda mín. Ekki lítur fóturinn vel út, en vonandi jafnar þetta sig fljótt og vel.
Við afi Númi vorum líka í Fljótshlíðinni um helgina. Fórum með hjólhýsið og heimsóttum vinafólk okkar á Hvolsvelli. Þau hjónin eru bæði úr Fljótshlíðinni og keyrðu okkur víða um Hlíðina. Veðrið var alveg yndislegt á laugardaginn, eins og sést vel á myndunum þínum. Það hefði nú verið sniðugt að rekast á þig þarna. Við fórum nú ekki á ball um kvöldið, en skemmtum okkur hið besta við drykki, spil og spjall og enduðum nóttina á að fara í góðan göngutúr fyrir svefninn.
So sorry to hear about your foot! I did the same thing 30 years ago when I was 8 months pregnant with my son. I tripped over my daughter's tricycle and hit it so hard with my right foot that I broke the small bone in my foot that is right beside the bone that you broke. It was extremely painful and since I waited a several hours before I went to the Emergency ward and the fact that I was pregnant to boot, the Dr. put a walking cast on it. I had to keep the weight off for 48 hours for the cast to dry so had to walk with crutches. Not fun, trying to look after a very active 2 year old. 3 days later, the Dr. had to reapply the cast as the swelling had gone down and the cast was too loose. I then spent another 48 hours on crutches! 3 weeks later the cast came off, then 10 days past his due date, my son arrived.
=( I am sorry to hear that you are in pain. Feel better soon!! *hugs*
Ooh you poor thing. Oh well, only one thing for it – feet up and lots of stitching to take your mind off the pain! Hope it mends soon.
I hope that the pain eases for you and that your foot heals quickly.
Oh dear that foot looks pretty sore. I went over on my foot once and it went completely black and swollen. I think I probably did break a bone but stupidly never got it checked out. Hope you feel better soon. Maybe a little online shop to cheer yourself up???? xx
Get plenty of rest and stitching in! Pick a special project to make a happy memory from breaking your foot =)
Sorry about your foot, Linda. Hope you feel better soon!
Ouch – your foot looks painful. Hope it recovers really soon.
I hope your foot heals quickly! (((HUGS)))

Canada has a long and very rich history of music. Here the music is used as a tool to get the communities together so that the diversity of Canada remains intact. It is one of the best ways to make sure that the people are brought together and they get to know each other.
The music festivals are not new to Canada as they have been organized for a very long time now. The initial idea of the musical festivals was just limited to competition and non-competition.
The Jazz and Blues Musical events are community-based which attract large crowds and the most famous bands also play at such festivals. The best part of such festivals is that it allows the local musicians to come in contact with the large organizations and promoters.
The Canadian music is known for the best beats and the powerful voices that dominate the industry. The best part of this industry is that new faces are joining with every passing day and the level, as well as the quality of the music, is also being raised with every passing day.
Canada as always said is the best and the most diverse country in the world. It is something that has defined the culture of the country. The best part of Canada is the events that are associated with the overall economy as well as the classes of the people.

Added to that you are in that 'twilight zone' time period between Christmas and the New Year when you just don't know what to do with yourself and suffering the Christmas blues.
By this stage you have probably fallen out with 'er in doors' or are pretty fed up with visiting family who have outstayed their welcome.
The time is right for the 'Great Escape' (not the film) so why not get out on the golf course while prices are at their lowest and the courses are not too busy.
Good excuse to try out the Chrissy Pressie and walk off some of that turkey while saving money because all too soon the New Year will be with us long with increased golfing prices.

tcPrettyEmail update for TeamCity 6.5.x
A recent comment from Julien pointed out that tcPrettyEmail messages with Test results are not printing corerctly.
It turns out that the TestBean in the TeamCity API was removed, and I was using that to glean the test detail. In version 0.8.24.121, I've worked around that by building my own bean and passing that to the template engine.
WARNING: This release is only compatible with TeamCity 6.5 and later. For Teamcity 6.0 and earlier, please use the earlier versions.

Hello Wolf,
I'm using TC Version 6.5.2 (build 17935). With the build-in e-mail notifications everything runs fine. Now I want to use your plugin "tcPrettyEmail", the version is 0.8.24.121. The plugin is installed correctly according to TC's "Administration -> Server Configuration -> External plugins" list.
I added the following XML-Code to main-config.xml (and modified the settings for my SMTP-server):
The problem is, that I don't get an E-Mail. Maybe there's a bug in your plugin.
By the way, does your plugin use the rules of TC for e-mail notification?
since XML-tags don't work, here are the setting without the 'pretty-mail' and 'smtp'-tags:
host="mail.company.com" port="25″ username="mySmtpUsername" password="mySmtpPassword" from-address="firstname.lastname@example.com" from-name="Friendly Name"
I'm trying to add PrettyEmail plugin to my Teamcity setup but not receiving any emails after a successful build. Already added rules to Pretty Email Notifier in My Settings. On looking server log, I found following error –

I'm using TeamCity Professional 6.5.6. It's been installed on windows server 2008. Please suggest where I can find these templates or/and which additional configuration I need to perform to make it working.
Thanks for your response!
Thanks for sending templates and images! I got it working yesterday before receiving your response. I had to do following steps to make it work –
1. From the folder- \.BuildServer\plugins\.unpacked\tcPrettyEmailPlugin-0.8.24.121\server, I extracted tcPrettyEmail-0.8.24.121-jar-with-dependencies.jar using WinRAR. Then from folder buildServerResources, got img and templates folders.
2. Copied img and templates folders to my Teamcity folder in C:\
3. Updated path of img and templates in main-config.xml
4. Restarted Teamcity service.
Then i received a very pretty email about my build status :). It's very nice looking and provides very useful contents.
Many thanks to you for providing this plugin and your help to make it work !!

I'v trying to run tcPrettyMail on TeamCity 7.1.1 without success 😦 Does version 0.8.24.121 compatible with 7.1.1?
I wonder but I see nothing specifc in logs 😦 Here is excerpt from main-config.xml:
(just copy-pasted from working TeamCity Professional 6.5 (build 17795) with lite changes)
User has further notification rules:
– Build is successful
– Tests are muted or unmuted
– Build fails
– Build fails to start
– Build is probably hanging
– The first build error occurs
– Investigation is updated
Regular email notifier works fine.
To be honest I have no idea what is wrong 😦
P.S.: How can fire email sending or send test email by hand?
My dist is 'TeamCity Professional 7.1.1 (build 24074)'
damn… excerpt is trimed…
(smtp host="hostname" port="25″ starttls-enabled="false"
username="???" password="???" from-address="email@hostname"
from-name="TeamCity" /)
(template-path path="/opt/jetbrains/TeamCity/webapps/ROOT/plugins/tcPrettyEmailer/templates/" /)

(attach-images attach="true" /)
(max-tests-to-show value="5″ /)
(max-error-lines-to-show value="50″ /)
I am running 0.8.29.125 on TC 6.5.6 and see the issue still. Do I need EXACTLY the 0.8.24.121 release for this fix? Can you also respond to SourceForge issue I raised: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/tcplugins/ticket/2
Hi netwolfuk,
I have a bit different requirement and I am in doubt if this plugin will help me. Can you please suggest.
I have to notify users about build failure on teamcity and it should only send emails to users who recently committed code, which caused build failure.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been dubbed as "wild" by one of their former neighbors.
Anthony Blair, a journalist for Daily Star, claimed that one of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's former neighbors revealed that the royal couple used to organize all-night bashes at home for their family and friends.
During the early hours of the morning, Prince Harry and Markle also let out fireworks from their home in Kensington Palace. Last month, the couple left the palace after an alleged feud between Markle and Kate Middleton, as well as Prince William and Prince Harry.
The new parents moved to Frogmore Cottage recently after having the lavish property refurbished ahead of their son's birth. One of Markle and Prince Harry's former neighbors said that their area has become quieter ever since the couple left.
French Ambassador Jean-Pierre Jouyet, who lives in an official residence close to Nottingham Cottage, said that things have changed back home.
"Now all we see and hear is the helicopter landing. It's boring now," he said.
Frogmore Cottage was gifted to Markle and Prince Harry by Queen Elizabeth II. It boasts of 10 bedrooms and it sits on 35 acres of land. It formerly houses the members of the palace staff.
Meanwhile, a source recently told People that the royal couple's newly-renovated home is so cute and warm.
"The energy of the space is so much better than Kensington Palace. It's a totally fresh start," the source said.
One of the couple's longtime friends also said that their move to Windsor was the healthy thing to do because the location doesn't have the rigid constraints of Kensington Palace. The friend also said that it must be nice for the Duke and Duchess to go around without neighbors who are either members of the royal family or who are part of their royal staff.

It is pretty clear to me that one day Loui the ZU is going to have a hit single. I don't think this is it but much like with Janine and The Mixtape, all the necessary talent and material is there. I think this song is great, and I really enjoy Loui's delivery, however the production is just a little muddy, and there is some unnecessary distortion on the drum track to my ears. Maybe a remix? But don't get me wrong, this is a thumbs-up for Loui. Just a matter of time before something big happens. He is of course on the Critic's Choice shortlist for the New Zealand Music Awards, and there is good reason for that.

Visit to the Missionaries of Charity, Mother Teresa Sisters in Riga
Members of the International Woman's Club of Riga (IWCR) and the Riga Milk Formula Charity Project recently visited the Sisters of the Missionaries of Charity to deliver diapers and milk formula. At the same time, we took the opportunity to pass on used clothes, toys and furniture donated by IWCR members and our friends.
The Riga Milk Formula Charity Project, organised by Maria, donates milk formula on a monthly basis. The formula is distributed by the Sisters to mothers who, for various reasons, can't breastfeed their babies and struggle to find the money to purchase it themselves. The IWCR is a proud sponsor of this important project.
Community work to those in need
This was a lovely visit and a wonderful opportunity to learn more about what the Sisters do here in Riga. After a warm welcome, they showed us around the premises and shared information on the various activities they offer to homeless people and poor families.
We heard about the soup kitchen which they host a couple of times each week (also sponsored by IWCR), and how they provide showers and clean clothes, dress wounds and dispense medications.
In exchange for help around the house, they offer housing for up to 3 months to addicts while they attend Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings. Those are just some of the services provided: the Sisters do a lot of other community work and also make home visits to those in need.
Weekly help for those suffering with wounds
Amelie, who is a nurse, offered to return to help with wound dressing and later that same week she assisted the Sisters dressing wounds for 21 individuals. The majority of those treated that day were suffering with wounds on their feet and legs, including amputated toes and wounds from freezing, bad hygiene and alcohol related injuries, while others arrived with wounds inflicted by violence.
This service is usually offered twice a week and the Sisters welcome all those in need — providing that they are sober and can pass a breathalyzer test — many of whom have been attending for months or even years.
The support makes a difference
The Missionaries of Charity is a Roman Catholic religious congregation established in 1950 by Mother Teresa. The Sisters make a vow to serve the poorest in their communities and we have seen firsthand what a difference their efforts make to the lives of those in need in our community here in Riga.
Always very welcoming, we felt that the Sisters really appreciated our visit. They are proud of their work, happy to chat and always enjoy laughing with us. We left feeling really humbled and impressed. Humbled by what they do with few resources and impressed by their passion and strength.

Kwame A-Plus has been spotted chilling with American rapper Bow Wow plus his Ghanaian counterpart, Captain Planet in a rare photo which has surfaced on the internet.
The political activist was at his explosive best this week when he fired the party he's affiliated to, the New Patriotic Party for their machinations which is undermining the party.
This was one of his rants:
"If I said this those stupid 20 Ghana screenshot taking NPP fool soldiers would have called me traitor, bitter, because I lost a contract and so on. Ok the president is also a traitor then. When I told him that his people were corrupt he went to Koforidua and said I was accusing them wrongly.
He rather sacked Dr. Anyah for trying hard to save Korle Bu. What was Dr. Anyah's crime? They say he was 65 years so had to leave. But Nana re-assigned Kwame Owusu the air condition man who is older than methuselah's grandfather as board chairman.
Nana, nobody is sabotaging you. You sabotaged yourself. Which good president will sack a CEO who does not take salary or allowances, did not accept official car, residence or driver, uses his own money to buy drugs and beds for the hospital, uses his own money to fix oxygen plants which had broken down for 3 years, did not accept even fuel?
You people had a plan before taking power. All of you. Today I have to give it to you yourself Nana Addo. You have disappoint yourself and us!!! Very shameful!!! Very very. You are becoming the worse president ever.
I wasted my time on you people. Very bad people pretending as Christian's who want to build a church for God. Just as God told David not to build the church because he had blood on his hands you guys are not clean to build a cathedral for God. Stop it!!!! Now you see greedy criminals? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄."
His anguish post comes after the President said some greedy people are sabotaging his government.

So no bird photos just a few trees whose bark doesn't bite!
Tuesday, 17 February 2009
Cannine interruption!
So no bird photos just a few trees whose bark doesn't bite!
9 comments:
Hi Frank- I looked up the Long-tailed Tit and the Great Tit in Smithsonian's Birds of the World. How can two birds share the name and yet look so dissimilar? I see that they are not of the same family. Would you explain why they are both called Tits? The book also said that the Long-tailed Tit makes a domed nest with a side entrance. Have you ever seen one of their nests? I've really enjoyed looking up the unfamiliar birds that you see. Not all of them are included in the Birds of the World. I'm going to keep my eyes open for a book abour birds of Britain.ReplyDelete
I'm with you on people who don't control their dogs. Shame on them. That kind of behavior is a quick way for children to become forever fearful of dogs.
I just have to add that I think that Long-tailed Tit is kind of a funny looking little bird. It looks very short in the body, no neck but a long tail. Like peices of different birds put together to make this one!ReplyDelete
Hi Lynne, rather than go into a long explanation here I will e-mail you with some 'links' that will hopefully explain why some tits are also called Tits but in a different family - partly relates to their habitat or breeding biology.ReplyDelete
Yes I have seen a LT Tit nest & your description of this tit is right on.
Collins 'Bird Guide' is probably one of the best ID guides for birds in Britain & Europe. I'll e-mail full details direct to you.
PS. I'm enthralled by your recent Festival visit - Can't wait to hear more.
Lol Frank
It's like the Dog Whisperer says, "Dogs need to be rehabilitated, their owners need to be trained." Too sad that they would allow their pets to ruin the trails for everyone else.ReplyDelete
Neat trees Frank.ReplyDelete
I'm glad the dogs were friendly, but it's so rude that people just let them run. Not only do they scare the birds and wildlife away, but you're always having to "watch where you step" too.
I like those old knarled trees. I wish we had a few left on my patch, but health and safety means they get chopped down, that or they ''just look untidy''. fools!ReplyDelete
Jayne & Ruthie - Perhaps I should wear a sign saying "do not disturb"! (me & the birds)ReplyDelete
Warren those were just 2 out of an original 2000 ancient oak pollards which provide excellent nesting locations. Some thinning work is being carried out I suspect both for the safety of the trees & the public but this will provide space for the youngsters to thrive.
- Anonymous21 February 2009 at 14:32
I know Frank, the worst place for dogs that I have lived is Boulder, Colorado. Every Tom, Dick and Harriette feels that they must have a big dog in a small living space. There is dog poo all over. The worst offender let his dog chase the deer. &^*%#$$%!.ReplyDelete
But just the other day while walking on the beach at Annisquam, two dogs came bounding up to me and said hello. I expect this on a public beach. No big deal. It's the humans that will come running and jogging into a flock of birds that I'm obviously working with that tick me off.
Okay, enough of that, these tree photos are awsome!
Yes Steve, if I hadn't been so engrossed with the buttons on the camera & had seen the dogs coming I probably would have said something similar.ReplyDelete
I'm hopeful these old trees will produce some good sightings & maybe photo opportunities thro' the year.

I recently came across an article online that talked about our social networks and how incredibly influential the people around you are, even if you don't realise it. Here at Infloox, this is exactly what we focus on, bringing these connections to light. More so, we dissect the influence of books (and even music!) on people, since these works stay around long after the creator has passed on.
Since Christmas is right around the corner, let's take a look at Charles Dickens and his beloved classic, A Christmas Carol. Originally published quickly in 1843 to cover the expenses of his wife's fifth pregnancy, the book went on to become one of Dickens' most well-known tales. So much so, that it is this work that made the common phrase "Merry Christmas" popular in modern culture, as well as the term "Scrooge" to mean a miser and the catchphrase, "Bah Humbug!". One historian even claimed that, "the current state of the observance of Christmas is largely the result of a mid-Victorian revival of the holiday spearheaded by A Christmas Carol."
But where did Dickens himself derive the inspiration and influences to come up with such a unique story? As with many authors, a large part of it can be attributed to the books and stories Dickens read as a child. Even something as far removed as Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and Robinson Crusoe made its way in, as he brought in that influence in the beginning of his story. We learn that in Victorian times, pantomimes were extremely popular, and Dickens refers directly to this in his Christmas story.
For aspiring writers, take a good look at the books on your bookshelf, because chances are those very ones will somehow work their way into your own writing. Perhaps it might be subconscious, or other times deliberate, but as we can see, it isn't only our social networks that guide and shape the way we develop, but also works of literature, no matter how old or new.

Survivalism meets the counterculture
Life on the mesa
Somewhere in the northern New Mexico desert, a grizzled gardener called Robbie is praising the prickliness of his home. "The cops don't like to come out here," he says proudly, "and this place is built on being left alone by the authorities. People say to the government, 'Fuck you. Chinga tu madre. We don't want your government, and you can get out of here.'"
Robbie is a folksinger, a self-described "middle-aged hippie," and one of the rich cast of characters who populate Off the Grid, a film now playing the festival circuit that will make its New York debut at Lincoln Center on August 16. Jeremy and Randy Stulberg, a brother and sister team, originally set out to make a documentary about U.S. citizens living abroad. Then they discovered a tribe of expatriates here at home, fleeing the American mainstream in a way that only deepened their American identity. The Stulbergs filmed them instead, with riveting results.
In 15 square miles of abandoned land, about 400 misfits—aging hippies, disillusioned veterans, teenage runaways—have built a community where no one cares if you smoke pot, fire your rifle all day, let your kids drive your car, or walk around naked in the desert heat. It's a landscape of beat-up old trailers, shacks jerry-rigged from recycled materials, solar panels, little farms, greenhouses, and at least one tipi. "Where I live is the last remaining land of America that is left," says Dreadie Jeff, another Mesa resident. "You can do what you fucking want there."
The government in question mostly keeps out of his way. Hardly anyone seems to want the Mesa people's land -- the Stulbergs heard several mutually exclusive explanations for who, if anyone, technically owns it -- and the citizens of the closest town, 25 miles away, seem willing to stay out of the Mesa's hair if the desert folk will stay out of theirs. But the authorities do fly helicopters over the area, scouting for marijuana growers, and if they think they spot some pot they'll send in the cops. According to Dreadie Jeff, they don't always bring warrants.

University of California, Berkeley police say they're investigating an attack on a conservative activist who was punched in the face while recruiting on campus.
Police say the man was at a table for the conservative group Turning Point USA Tuesday when two men approached him and a verbal altercation started.
They say victim Hayden Williams was filming the men with his phone when one of them slapped the phone out of his hand and punched him several times.
Williams appeared with a black eye on Fox News Thursday. He said the men objected to a sign that said "Hate Crime Hoaxes Hurt Real Victims." A photograph displayed during the interview shows Williams also held a sign that said "This is MAGA Country."
UC Berkeley says none of the men are affiliated with the university.

Craving Nourishment
I'm in a constant state of craving. The more I slow down and invite in stillness, the more my soul tells me what it needs.
I'm craving quiet, so I turn off the car radio and spend more time alone.
I'm craving a flexible schedule, so I say no to plans and yes to space.
I'm craving the comfort of home, so I stay in my pajamas for a little too long.
I'm craving deep connection, so I get intentional about who I spend my time with.
I'm craving nourishment, but I… don't know what that means.
See, this last one surprises me. Don't I nourish myself well? I eat good things, I'm always well hydrated, I usually get enough sleep, so why did I hear the word nourishment whispered over and over? What kind of nourishment am I craving?
Immediately, my mind shows me a memory of The Best Nap of My Life (in all caps) . It wasn't that I was super tired, rather that I felt safe, relaxed, and taken care of.
It was a crisp fall day a couple of years ago. The sun was shining and a cool breeze entered our second floor living room of our cute vintage coach house in Chicago. College football played on TV – my favorite time of year. My husband had baked a frozen pizza for us and brought me a couple slices. They were unusually satisfying. I remember a warmth and fullness in my belly — the feeling of someone attending to your needs — and was overwhelmed with a sense of comfort. I curled up with a fuzzy blanket and snoozed through the third quarter of the football game.
I don't remember if my team won or lost, but I remember that delicious nap —the complete feeling of having all my needs met, the total relaxation that only creeps up when everything feels safe and I am wholly and fully nourished.
I can't take a third quarter nap everyday, but I'm listening to my gut when it tells me it craves nourishment. I trust I'll know what I need and how to ask for it when I hear that whisper again.
May you always feel nourished and whole.

I found a fascinating piece of trivia — a proposed BBC show being considered in 2004 (just before the revival) with Paul McGann as a mysterious figure with more than a few similarities to a certain time lord. The piece is by someone with the handle bluehinter over on a blog called Observation Deck.
The piece is well worth a look as it has footage shot with Paul McGann dressed not unlike a certain later incarnation who was appear to appear on-screen. As bluehinter says, surely somebody can take these and splice in some modern Who and Murray Gold musical magic?
The article is here: Paul McGann stars in a 2004 Doctor Who fever dream — I'm interested to know what you think!

I reliably cry in movies. Always in the scene where the protagonist does something unexpectedly righteous. I don't cry at sad scenes, I cry when someone shows great character & humanity.
Tomorrowland didn't make me cry. It made me think. In the movie Tomorrowland, our creative minds get held back by the dystopian media. To fix it, the heroes try to oppose it with a great utopian story, the story of the wonderful Tomorrowland, which is filled with enthusiasm for science & invention.
How many dystopian stories have you enjoyed in the last year?
How many utopian ones?
Geeks like me joke about the apocalypse all the time. Our media have a dystopian bias — they tend to report catastrophes over breaktroughs. How will we be able to create our utopian future when our minds constantly wander around in dystopias?
We don't talk nearly enough about the utopian vision of earth in the Star Trek series or in the Culture series. Let's create, think about and enjoy more stories about utopias — and use them to discuss a positive future. Let's talk about Tomorrowland!

I received one new book last week in my mailbox:
Sunday Silence by Nicci French courtesy of Wm Morrow
Reading: The Other Mother by Carol Goodman
What was in yours?
ENJOY Sunday Silence.
That was my first Nicci French book, and I really enjoyed it.
Looking forward to reading it.Delete
I have read a couple of Nicci French stand alone novels, but nothing from the 'Frieda Klein' series, which does sound really good, although as we are now at book #7 in the series, this is probably too far ahead for me to think about catching up!
Carol Goodman is a new to me author, but I have just become completely distracted whilst checking her out. The books are all so dark and brooding, almost disturbing in their story lines. I really do have to read at least one of them for the experience! I do hope that you are going to post your thoughts about 'The Other Mother'.
Happy Reading :)
I love the Freda Klein series...I've pre-ordered the next one.
I am ogling The Other Mother. Enjoy!
Enjoy your new books.ReplyDelete
I'am glad to read the whole content of this blog and am very excited,Thank you for sharing good topic.
I discovered your blog site on google and check a few of your early posts. Continue to keep up the very good operate. I just additional up your RSS feed to my MSN News Reader. Seeking forward to reading more from you later on!…
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought you have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.

OSHP Officer goes above the call of duty for grieving man
Man said his sister had just died
Man said his sister had just died
An Ohio State Highway Patrol Sergeant goes above and beyond the call of duty for a man on his way to see his mother as his sister had just died.
According to WLWT's sister station WDTN, it happened over the weekend when Mark Ross received a call to notify him that his sister has been killed in a car accident.
Ross was a passenger when the car he was in was pulled over for speeding by State Trooper J. Davis.
The driver of the vehicle had a warrant in Wayne County and was taken into custody.
It was then that Ohio State Highway Patrol Sergeant Robison offered to take Ross to the jail to post bail for the driver and to take him closer to Michigan.
WDTN said it reached out to Ross and he would like everyone to know how gratefully he is for Robison.
