Emma & Jack's wedding was full of Jewish tradition and elegance, making the Four Seasons Seattle the perfect setting for this classic winter wedding. A wonderful Kosher caterer, Epic Bites, came all the way from San Francisco to cater this event. Isaac and his team did such a phenomenal job with all of the food and beverage.
We went from the Tisch, to the Bedeken, to the Ketubah signing to the beautiful ceremony under the Chuppah. Then of course dinner and LOTS of dancing to follow. Their wedding fell on a Seattle Seahawks Sunday, so the 12th man flag made an appearance during the hora dances after their win.
Big thanks to:

How well did Chris and Olivia luck out for a winter wedding in Seattle? They had such beautiful weather! Their wedding was all about the blush tones as well as showcasing Seattle and the glamour of the Pacific Northwest. The Edgewater Hotel really was the perfect venue for them.
I met these two at the Seattle Wedding Show and we started planning shortly after. I just loved working with them on their wedding and miss our early morning coffee planning meetings at Panera.
Of course a big thanks to the following vendors for making their big day happen so smoothly:

Meet Mary & Monica.
Two of the sweetest gals you will ever come across. Clients like this make my job so fulfilling. Words can't describe the emotions felt by all in attendance on December 9, 2012 at 12:01am.
Now, let me share the back story leading up to their wedding day…
When I first met Mary & Monica, they had chosen the day of December 8 to celebrate their life long commitment to each other because they liked winter and it fit with work schedules. Planning was well under way for a gorgeous wedding with a guest list that was close to 200 people. As time passed, Ref 74 was put on to the November ballot. It occurred to everyone that if it passed, they would actually be able to be legally married in the state of Washington. Well guess what? Washington voters passed Ref 74 in November. Following the victory of Ref 74, they announced that the first legal day to be married was going to be December 9, 2012. What perfect timing!?! When they announced this, I got goosebumps.
Wedding plans were being wrapped up by this point, and invitations had already been sent out for the ceremony and reception on Dec 8. They decided that they would host their 5pm ceremony and reception according to plan; however they would add a second wedding ceremony to be held at 12:01am, December 9, where they could have a legal ceremony.
After the first ceremony they went on to enjoying a beautiful dinner, toasts, and Bamboo Beats kept the dancefloor packed throughout the entire night. One of the more special moments was watching Mary and Monica dance to "Same Love" by Macklemore. Brandy (my assistant) and I even made a run to Dicks Burgers to pick up 150 cheeseburgers as a late night snack for everyone. As the midnight hour approached we started prepping for the second ceremony. News crews and reporters were there to capture this special moment. A perfectly timed procession and ceremony was preformed by Annemarie Juhlian at exactly 12:01am December 9. I don't think there was a dry eye in the venue.
I can't thank the vendors on this wedding enough. We had such a fantastic team and everyone went above and beyond.
The incredible photographer, Jenny GG captured the day so perfectly. She put a photo of Mary and Monica on facebook the next day and within 24 hours I think there were over 5,000 likes. It was pretty awesome to see the support.
Special thanks to the Seattle Yacht Club for everything they did to make this day perfect. It has always been one of my favorite venues to work at, so it was extra special that this wedding was held there.
Final thanks to the rest of the vendors that made this day possible:
Hair: Lydia Wetmore at G2 Salon
Make Up: Flawless Beauty Bars
Cake: Mike's Amazing Cakes
Stationary: Paper Fling
Flowers: Metropolitan Market
Now for the photos..Enjoy…
Oh and did I mention, this wedding is featured in the newest publication of Seattle Bride Magazine?
On news stands soon…here is a sneak peek!

The winter holiday months are upon us so I wanted to share a few photos from Monica and David's wedding.
These two were lucky enough to have some snow fall on their wedding day and it sure made for some beautiful photos. This couple makes me so happy–big thanks to Heather Lynn Photographie for capturing their candid spirit.
Monica and David chose their colors to be black and crimson which was absolutely stunning next to the snow outside and the festive candlelight inside! See for yourself:

Collection No 2
Four value creation models to highlight the potential of The Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) must move beyond hype and buzz and embrace viable value creation models.
At frog, we evaluate ideas through three different lenses: product, technology and business. Successful products nail all three. Like many breakthrough innovations, the IoT started as a technology capability as sensors became cheap and available, the reach of wireless expanded and battery and energy harvesting techniques improved. A number of commercialized use cases emerged – from health and wellness to industrial automation, automation and logistics. Yet the final pillar – the business rationale – is still missing. Surveying the IoT landscape, we found four value creation models that can be used to either increase share in existing markets or target new customer segments, as well as lower cost of operations and create new revenue opportunities.
Lower Running Costs: the IoT helps minimize the costs associated with maintenance, repair, operations and IT support.
Amplify an Existing Product: the addition of an information layer enhances the value of an existing product or service.
Monetize the data stream: an information layer is generated that can be sold to advertisers, direct marketers and data brokers, or lead to referral fees or sold as reports.
Create an Information Product: an entirely new data stream in which the information layer itself is the product.
Of course, the real world is messier than this neat taxonomy and there are obvious overlaps between these concepts. Still, we consider them helpful when thinking about how an IoT product or service might create value. We already see some of our clients, who design connected products, growing their market share and gaining insights into the usage andperformance of their products. Let's examine each concept more closely.
Lowering running costs is a well-understood business value proposition. A great example of this is Big Belly Solar, a company whose solar powered waste compacting and recycling bins automatically notify city waste management firms when the bins need to be emptied. The "connected" bins reduce operating expenses by eliminating unnecessary garbage collection "truck rolls." Any asset that involves maintenance in which a truck and driver need to be dispatched – from vending machines to ATMs and streetlights – could benefit from the IoT in a similar way.
For the German logistics company Agheera, frog designed a real-time shipment tracking system that illustrates how the IoT can amplify the power of an existing product. In addition to tracking the movement of a shipment from point A to point B, Agheera provides shippers with access to data on the location, temperature, light exposure, humidity and barometric pressure along the route. Early adopters of the service include healthcare and aerospace firms, which have a special interest in maintaining the authenticity and visibility of the supply chain. This is also critical for companies shipping valuables such as jewels, gems and metals, and those moving sensitive material including scientific instruments and cold-chain goods.
The most obvious examples of monetizing the data stream are advertising or marketing related. However, we believe that the biggest untapped market opportunities today reside with data streams that unlock new revenue sources beyond advertising.
Consider the Kenyan micro-crop insurer, Kilimo Salama. For a 5 percent premium on the price of seed, Kilimo Salama will insure a farmers' seed against crop failure. This is important because small farmers rely on this year's harvest to pay for next years' seed; to fully recover from a bad harvest can take five to seven years. Traditional crop insurance only made sense for farms with over 200 acres, because the insurance firm had to dispatch an agent to validate a claim. Using a combination of automated IoT weather stations that cost the company $4,000 each to produce and install, and a claims system leveraging mobile phones, Kilimo Salama has automated insurance monitoring and claims for farmers living within 15 kilometers of the company's weather stations.
To best explain the final category, information products where the data stream is the product, look at early examples for consumers such as Fitbit and Nike+. These products track the movement, exercise, sleep patterns and diet of the person wearing them, and offer visualizations into the user's daily life patterns.
Another highly innovative example is the Gun Fire Sensor from the firm SST Shotspotter. With this device audio sensors positioned in a neighborhood allow SST to pin point the location of a gunshot as well as detect the direction a car was moving (if the shot was fired from a car), which means that street cameras can track the shooter. The Gun Fire Sensor has already been used with some success in Oakland, California and a shooter was convicted recently in Cincinnati based on SST evidence.
The Internet of Things is already here. Things are talking to things, and additional pieces of information are being added to that conversation to make really interesting products and services. Things will do more talking as technology and our acceptance of this evolutionary trend grows and companies realize the commercial potential of the IoT. The value creation models we have outlined create a framework for that development. Who would have believed that an IoT solution would be used to convict felons, track shipments across rough seas or help small farmers in developing countries? We are just beginning to understand the true potential of things talking to things.

Dash cams can be found in just about any car nowadays. They've become fairly cheap, they work great, and they can be very helpful in the event of an accident or when someone decides to damage your vehicle. And while most of them come with a more or less standard feature set, there are still features you won't find on all of them – Wi-Fi being one of those features.
Even though it's not a bare necessity, having Wi-Fi on a dash cam can be very useful. First of all, when you buy the camera, you'll need to set it up. You'll want to see what the camera sees and you'll want to be able to change the settings to suit your need. After that, you'll want to be able to review footage, which is much easier on a smartphone, and you can download it and share it easily, too.
So, if you're getting a WiFi dash cam, how do you choose one? The market's full of options, and it's definitely difficult to settle on one. Well, we've got five options for you below, and they're all great. We've also gat a buyers' guide to help you make an informed buying decision, so without wasting any more time, let's go.

Wi-FI Dash Camera Guide
1. Rove R2-4K
A costly WiFi dash cam that makes no compromises yet costs less than the competition and records in 4K
We're kicking things off with the Rove R2-4K. It's the most expensive model on our list, but it's also by far the best WiFi dash cam. It has an excellent recording resolution, it's doesn't cut corners on any of the critical features, and it still costs half of some of the competitors on the market. So, is it any good? Let's find out.
First things first, the R2-4K, like its name suggests, records video at a 4K resolution (2160p). The quality is excellent, you can easily distinguish details such as faces and license plates, which can be crucial in the case of an accident. The field of view is 150 degrees, which is pretty wide, and there is an ultra low light sensor that makes sure the recordings are clear even during the night. The f/1.8 aperture also helps with low light performance.
On the back of the camera you'll find a 2.4" LCD display which is useful for reviewing videos and setting up the camera, as well as a row of buttons below. The R2-4K also has a pretty good feature set. Aside from Wi-Fi, you're getting a built-in GPS module that records locations and moving speed, and you can view the information on Google Maps. You will get loop recording and a G-sensor that locks any important video and prevents it from being deleted, as well as timelapse and slow motion video. The built-in Wi-Fi module allows you to view and download footage from the camera, and the Rove app works great on both iOS and Android.
So, why is it our recommended WiFi dash cam? Well, to begin with, you get a lot of bang for your buck. Yes, there are cheaper models on our list, but check as many boxes as the Rove. The 4K resolution is also unmatched (at least on our list), and Rove made sure to have all the necessary things covered. If you're looking for a good WiFi dash cam that won't let you down, this is it.
- 4K video
- 150 degrees FOV
- Dedicated low light sensor
VAVA has a couple of excellent dash cams, from this one that we include in our list of WiFi dash cam options, to some more advanced and more expensive models. They've got a good reputation as a brand and all their dash cams are pretty great. Therefore, we just had to include one of their dash cams on our list. So, how does this model stack up as a WiFi dash cam?
Well, for starters, the video recording functionality is absolutely excellent. The camera records at 1080p and 60 frames per second, which is sharp and smooth. With a 155 degree field of view, it's going to capture quite a bit at the front, and the Novatek NT96663 chip inside makes sure no details are lost. To add to that, you're getting a Sony IMX323 sensor that works admirably even at night, when there isn't too much light.
What's great about the VAVA is their app. It's one of the best apps we've seen for a dash cam, and includes functionality such as live viewing, real-time sharing on social media, as well as transferring media to police and insurance companies.
We believe we should also discuss the design of the dash cam, too. Aside from the mount being great and able to attach to a windshield very easily, thanks to the suction cup, you also have a cable management clip on it to prevent the cable from dangling around. That mount also allows you to rotate and swivel the cam a full 360 degrees and set it up just the way you like it, which is pretty neat and not something we see every day.
Of course, we have a more or less standard feature set as far as the rest of the WiFi dash cam goes. You have loop recording that, if the cam is hardwired, starts recording as soon as you start the car. There's also a G-sensor that locks any footage in case of an accident, as well as a parking mode to keep your car safe when you've parked it. All things considered, it's a great runner up.

Dash cams don't have to come from a popular brand in order to be good and make it on a list such as ours, and the AKASO V1 is a great example of that. At a price that's more or less identical to both our top pick, and the runner up, you're getting a lot of functionality, and a lot of bang for your buck. Let's take a look at the cam, and see how it compares to the other options on our list.
First things first, the V1 has a resolution that's slightly higher than the 1080p we're used to seeing, and is instead 1296p. That may not be much, but you'll get a bit more details in certain situations. The field of view on the lens is an excellent 170 degrees and it captures the entire road ahead of you, without anything left out. The sensor that's inside is excellent for night time recording as well, even though there aren't any dedicated IR LEDs.
The AKASO is meant to be discrete, and the mount is pretty small. It keeps the camera right below the headliner, and similarly to the VAVA, you can rotate the camera 360 degrees on the bracket and have it set up just the way you like it.
The app is made to work with both iOS and Android. The functionality you get is pretty standard – you can see and download photos and videos, and you can configure the camera's settings if you'd like to change something. It's good, but nothing special, that's why it's at number three on our list.
As far as the rest of the camera goes, you have loop recording and a G-sensor, something you're probably used to by now, and there's a GPS module inside. The GPS module captures location and moving speed, something that might come in handy in case of an accident. One thing to note, though, is that you can't use both GPS and Wi-Fi at the same time, as the phone app will not work. This isn't too much of a problem, however, as the Wi-Fi isn't something you're likely to be using while driving.
To wrap things up, the AKASO V1 is an interesting blend of features. The higher resolution and the GPS module make it a great pick, but it's the lack of any notable Wi-Fi functionality for the app that puts it at spot number three. Both the Rove and the VAVA have better apps which work no matter what, and they're a better pick as far as a WiFi dash cam goes. However, if your focus is on video resolution and quality, you might be better off with the AKASO instead.
- 1296p video
- 170 degrees FOV
4. Anker Roav A1
Also Great
While made by a budget-oriented brand, the Roav A1 is a great dash cam with plenty of functionality and a great app
If you've ever looked at budget electronics, chances are you've come across something made by Anker. The brand has an excellent balance between price and performance, and that same balance transfers over to their Roav dash cam brand. The A1 is a great example of that, with an excellent feature set and quality at a price that hovers around half of our top three picks. If this is something that piques your interest, read on as we take a closer look at the A1.
First things first, you may be used to brands compromising on video quality to give you a cheaper WiFi dash cam, but that's not the case with Anker. With the A1, you're getting 1080p full HD video, so you can easily pick up details such as license plates and faces in the event of an accident. The field of view is pretty wide, and the Sony IMX323 sensor inside ensures that you get consistent performance both during the day and at night. The f/1.9 glass and wide dynamic range are also partly to blame for the nighttime performance as well. There's a Novatek NT96658 chipset inside that runs the show, and the video you get from the A1 is truly great.
How's the Wi-Fi functionality? Well, it's pretty good if we're being honest. You can use the Roav DashCam app to do things such as view or download the videos, as well as configure the camera and the functionality of it. You also get other features with the A1, such as loop recording and a G-sensor, as well as a motion detector to keep your car safe when you're parked.
All things considered, if you aren't keen on spending hundreds of dollars on a WiFi dash cam, but would rather save a bit, the Anker Roav A1 is a very attractive package. You have excellent video quality, you have all the basic features, and you have Anker's reputation backing things up. It's a great buy for users on a budget.
- 1080p video
- Sony IMX323 sensor
- Motion detector
5. Apeman C580
And so, we arrive to the last model on our list of WiFi dash cam models. Since Wi-Fi is something that not all manufacturers include, you may think that it's limited to higher end, more expensive models, but that's not the case. You saw it with the Anker Roav A1, and you'll see it again with the Apeman – it's a great dash cam that doesn't cost a lot. It also covers all the basic functionality a good dash cam should cover, and then some, which makes it a very attractive choice for users on a budget.
To begin with, let's discuss the video quality. Apeman didn't cut any corners here, and you get full HD, 1080p video at 30 frames per second. The field of view is an excellent 170 degrees, so you'll capture everything that happens in front of you on the road. What's interesting is that you'll get more or less the same video quality during the night as well, thanks to the Sony IMX323 sensor inside that works really well in low light.
The Wi-Fi functionality is pretty good with the Apeman. There's a Finalcam app on both the Play Store and the App Store, and it's actually pretty good. Not only can you view live footage, but you can download and share all videos on social media really easily. This is much better than using the 2.45" IPS display on the back, even though that one is pretty good too if we're being honest.
The essentials are all included with the Apeman – loop recording and a G-sensor make sure you don't lose important footage, the parking monitor has a motion detector to save you from going through hours of footage when you don't have to, and the software is pretty user friendly.
While you may not expect too much out of a dash cam that costs a fraction of the competition, the Apeman does a great job at going against that line of thought. It covers all the basics and works really well as a WiFi dash cam. If you're on a budget, it should definitely make it to your shortlist.
Buyers' guide
Now that we've got our recommendations out of the way, how do you choose one? How do you decide what feature and quality is more important? Let's answer a few common questions so you can make an informed buying decision more easily.
How important is video quality and the video resolution? The short answer is "very much", but you're not here for that. With a dash cam, you expect it to be a silent witness if something happens. Therefore, you want it to capture clear details, especially faces and license plates, because that's usually what matters most in such a situation. You also want it to capture those not only during the day, but at night too, so a good sensor is a bonus. In terms of resolution, anything that's 1080p or above should have you covered, but stay away from dash cams that only record at 720p, or below.
Why do you need a WiFi dash cam? There are two main reasons for this. The first one is ease of setup. Not all dash cams have a display, but you'll need one to have it set up right and to make sure you're recording at the right angle. Wi-Fi functionality basically turns your smartphone into a display for the camera, and also gives you the option to change settings from the app instead of messing with the camera, that's not always too intuitive. The second one is convenience. When you need to transfer videos from your dash cam, it's much more convenient to connect wirelessly and just download them on your smartphone, as compared to transferring them to a computer.
What other functionalities do you need? Well, the basics should have you covered. Loop recording overwrites your oldest footage to preserve the latest one, and a G-sensor makes sure any footage recorded during an accident is locked and prevented from deletion. Aside from this, a parking mode with a motion sensor should have you covered if your vehicle is often on public parking spots, but that's about it.
Wrapping things up
So, at the end of the day, is it easy to choose a WiFi dash cam? Well, after our list of recommendations and buyers' guide, it should be. We made sure to cover multiple budgets, and various needs, to suit just about everyone. The buyers guide explains where your money should go, so you don't spend on unnecessary functions that are pure marketing, and you'll be able to choose right for you, easily.

Brooke launches partnership with Afghanaid
Brooke and Afghanaid have launched a partnership to improve the health and productivity of livestock owned by 4000 farmers in the Central Highlands province of Daykundi, Afghanistan by 2022. Brooke partnerships aim to grow lasting and effective alliances with in country organisations to extend and deepen our reach in a mutually beneficial manner.
The project, which will reach 2000 men and 2000 women, will improve the quality of veterinary care, increase the awareness and availability of animal health services, and strengthen farmers' livelihoods in four districts. There will be a specific focus on women, who are particularly disadvantaged in Afghan households despite their critical role in caring for livestock and harvesting products.
Afghanaid will use Brooke's Animal Health Mentoring Framework, a list of essential skills and competencies required to provide good quality health services, to mentor a vet in each district. As well as this, the organisation will work with farmers to improve their understanding of the benefits of investing in the health of their animals by using veterinary services.
At present, the overall state of animal health services in Daykundi is poor. Few families have the necessary skills, knowledge and resources to properly care for their animals, and farmers generally only seek treatment when absolutely needed. This, coupled with a shortage of vets and a lack of training, means that the welfare of working equines in this region has been severely neglected.
Horses, donkeys and mules are of vital importance to rural communities in Afghanistan. They transport goods to the market, pull ploughs and other farming equipment, and transport people between districts. Keeping these animals healthy is critical to the livelihoods of thousands of households. Healthy and well cared for working animals are more productive, meaning that the families who depend on them are more prosperous.
Brooke has worked in Afghanistan since 2008, in partnership with DCA Livestock Programs. Continuous droughts and ongoing internal warfare make this a challenging by necessary country to work in. This new partnership with Afghanaid will allow Brooke to work in a new region of the country, Daykundi, and tackle persistent challenges in a new and innovative way. Wokring alongside rural communities, Afghanaid provide basic services, improve livelihoods, and increase communities' resilience to natural disasters in their current way of working. This new partnership will see them integrating working equine welfare into an existing project, utilising their existing networks and relationships to strengthen the livelihoods and livestock care of vulnerable households in four districts.

We interpret recent spectral data of Mars collected by the Mars Exploration Rovers to contain substantial evidence of sulfate minerals and aqueous processes. We present visible/near-infrared (VNIR), mid-IR and Mössbauer spectra of several iron sulfate minerals and two acid mine drainage (AMD) samples collected from the Iron Mountain site and compare these combined data with the recent spectra of Mars. We suggest that the sulfates on Mars are produced via aqueous oxidation of sulfides known to be present on Mars from Martian meteorites. The sulfate-rich rock outcrops observed in Meridiani Planum may have formed in an acidic environment similar to AMD environments on Earth. Because microorganisms are typically involved in the oxidation of sulfides to sulfates in terrestrial AMD sites, sulfate-rich rock outcrops on Mars may be a good location to search for evidence of life on that planet. Whether or not life evolved on Mars, following the trail of sulfate minerals is likely to lead to aqueous processes and chemical weathering. Our results imply that sulfate minerals formed in Martian soils via chemical weathering, perhaps over very long time periods, and that sulfate minerals precipitated following aqueous oxidation of sulfides to form the outcrop rocks at Meridiani Planum.
The aggregation of interstellar grains as a result of ballistic collisions produces loosely packed structures with much of their internal volume composed by vacuum (cavities). The molecular material present on the surfaces of the cavities gives rise to a series of reactions induced by cosmic rays, UV radiation, thermal shocks, etc., in high reducing conditions. Thus, a terrestrial type chemistry is given the possibility to evolve inside these cavities. The resulting products are different and of a wider range than those from gas-phase or surface chemistry in molecular clouds. Under conditions similar to those in the aggregate cavities, laboratory experiments have produced amino acids, sugars and other organic compounds from simple precursors. In dense star-forming regions, the molecular species inside aggregates are efficiently shielded against the local UV field. The same molecules were incorporated in the material which formed the Earth, as well as other planets, during the process of its formation and afterwards fell on the surface via comets, meteorites, interstellar dust, etc. This was the source material that can produce, under favorable circumstances, the biopolymers needed for life. The astronomical observations of organic molecules in star-forming regions and the results of analyses of meteorites and cometary dust seem to support the present hypothesis that complex prebiotic molecules form inside dust aggregates and therein survive the journey to planetary systems. The Miller experiment is revisited through innumerable repetitions inside dust grain aggregates.
In this paper we exemplify a biased synthesis that can be relevant in primitive scenarios. We perform experiments simulating a possible prebiotic environment, in which an organic compound is adsorbed in soil and exposed to an energy source. To this end, carboxylic acids were adsorbed in a clay mineral and the systems were exposed to radiation. We observed that radiation decomposition in solution changes drastically if the system contains a clay mineral. Both solid surfaces and radiation play an important role.
The RNA world hypothesis and the hydrothermal origin of life hypothesis are contradictory to each other. Although it is considered that RNA molecules are too labile to maintain life-like systems at high temperatures and there is extensive literature on nucleic acid hydrolysis, the stability and the chemical evolution of RNA have not been sufficiently analysed from the viewpoint of hydrothermal reactions. Based on our experimental data concerning the stability and the prebiotic formation of RNA at high temperatures, two different aspects seem to be important for evaluating whether RNA molecules are too labile. First, the stability of RNA molecules should be evaluated from the comparison of the rate of formation and the rate of degradation of RNA in open systems. Our prebiotic reaction models of phosphodiester bond formation suggest that at high temperatures the accumulation of RNA may be possible. However, an RNA world entirely consisting of RNA molecules is unlikely to occur because the biologically important interactions are not effective for the bare RNA molecules at high temperatures. Second, since enzymes presently mediate most biological reactions, evaluation of the accumulation of RNA should be based on the comparison between the enzymatic and non-enzymatic reaction rates. Hence, the evaluation of the primitive enzymatic reaction rates at high temperatures has been attempted. There is a large difference between the present enzymatic reaction rates at 25–90 °C and the non-enzymatic reaction rates at high temperatures of 200–300 °C. It is thus possible that prebiotic enzyme-like assemblies could have facilitated the accumulation of RNA molecules at hydrothermal vent temperatures.
This paper is a philosophical essay on metaphysics, in which we develop a justification for Algorithmic Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence by considering the relationship between the Theory of Everything and the future of life or physical eschatology.
Mycelial fungi from cryopegs (tundra, Kolyma lowland, Russia) have been studied. The use of media with different amounts of salt and cultivation at 4 and 25 °C allowed us to isolate filamentous fungi assigned to 11 species. The micromycetes of genus Geomyces were found most often. The total amount of fungi reached 1–4×102 CFU ml−1 of water. The extreme conditions of the cryopegs – the high salinity of the water (150–200 g l−1) and the constant low temperatures (average annual temperature is from −9 to −11 °C) – might serve as a model for the conditions of interplanetary environments.

Butteries without baps? See here for a recipe that … gets close.
- 250g/8oz butter
- 125g/4oz Trex (as a vegetarian alternative to the traditional lard)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 500g/1lb flour
- 2 teaspoons of dried yeast
- 450ml/¾ pint warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste; be generous – they traditionally had a fair amount of salt for keeping on the fishing boats)
Method 1 – the quicker option
- Make a paste from the yeast, sugar and a wee bit of the warm water and set aside.
- Mix the flour and the salt together. Once the yeast has bubbled up add this and mix well to a dough. Knead and leave to rise.
- Cream the butter and lard and divide into three portions.
- Once the dough has doubled in size give it a good knead then roll into a rectangle about 1cm thick.
- Spread one third of the butter mixture over two thirds of the dough. Fold the remaining third of the dough over onto the butter mixture and fold the other bit over – giving three layers. Roll this back to the original size.
- Repeat this stage twice more, and allow the dough to rest for 40 minutes.
- Cut the dough into 16 pieces and shape each to a rough circle; make sure the cut edges are rolled underneath, and place on greased and floured baking trays.
- Set aside to rise for about 45 minutes until again well risen, then bake at 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6 for about 15 minutes, when they will be a rich brown.
Method 2 – fiddlier, but gives a nicer result
- Make a "sponge". Take 125g/4oz of the flour; mix in 1/4 to 1/2 tsp dried yeast, half the sugar, and about half the water; mix until smooth. Cover with cling film and leave for at least two hours.
- Mix the rest of the dried yeast with the rest of the water and the sugar; leave aside for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Mix the rest of the flour and the salt together. Add the reconstituted yeast liquid and the sponge. Mix well to a dough. Knead to a softish smooth dough.
- Turn into an oiled bowled, cover with cling film, and leave to rise overnight in a very cool place (fridge, or even outside).
- Set your alarm for about 2 hours before breakfast time. Then follow steps 3 through to 8 as above.
And a brief note added from Norman Harper's blog from the North East of Scotland
"The master bakers I have spoken to tell me that the vital skill for a buttery-maker is to know when to stop working the mix. Stop early for salty-crispy, and stop a few minutes later for soft-doughy. If the baker carried on and incorporated all the lard and produced a perfectly smooth dough, he would produce a flat cake. "
Something to remember for next time.

Social isolation and poverty is a big problem for seniors in our community. Without a local network of
family and friends, seniors who live alone often decline more rapidly, and face a grim holiday season with little money to spend and limited contact from others.
Each year AARP partners with Twin Cities-based non-profit Gifts for Seniors to try add a little joy to the lives of these individuals by hosting a holiday gift drive. New, unwrapped gifts are being collected in a barrel located at the AARP Information Center at Mall of America (second floor, West Entrance). Donations can be dropped off Monday - Friday, from 10 am - 4 pm.
Throughout the holiday season, volunteers and staff from Gifts for Seniors deliver these presents to needy older individuals in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. They are immensely appreciated!
No one should live their last years without love and connection to their community. Every single gift brings a smile, and has the potential to change a life.

In the mid-continent transportation corridor, a study of electronic border clearance technologies found that benefit-to-cost ratios for motor carriers range from 85:1 to 718:1
8-12 November 1999
Mid-Continent Corridor,United States
Summary Information
- Electronic Credentialing
- Electronic Screening
- Electronic Border Screening
To evaluate the benefit-to-cost (B/C) ratios for each of these technologies three different growth scenarios (conservative, expected, and aggressive) were analyzed to account for future market penetration . These three scenarios were then evaluated against estimates of high and low deployment cost to account for large-scale as well as small-scale motor carriers.
Electronic Border Screening
Electronic Border Screening data was collected from the United States Customs Service and the Border Trade Institute at the Texas A&M International University. The data was used to determine the northbound and southbound border traffic at Laredo from 1990-1995. Motor carriers benefited greatly from the deployment of electronic border screening due to the long delays typically encountered at border crossings. State agencies also benefited as enforcement methods were made more efficient.
The cost to carriers included the price of transponders and communications equipment. The cost to state agencies included the cost of AVI readers, WIM scales, and other equipment and maintenance support. The resulting benefit-to-cost ratios were exceptionally high due to the significance of border delays.
The B/C ratios for motor carriers and state agencies were combined to give the following overall results for Electronic Border Screening.

In packet-switched cellular networks, base stations corresponding to different cells are connected by wired transmission links to cover the wide area, while communication in a cell takes place over wireless channels. All streams of messages are divided into packets. We consider two types of channel/link impairments in packet-switched cellular networks, bit errors and packet losses. In wireless channels, bit errors occur due to channel impairments such as fading, interference and noise. In addition, congestion at the intermediate nodes and at shared resources in wired links causes packet losses. Bit errors and packet losses are dominant impairments in packet-switching cellular networks and limit system performance. Multimedia information such as imagery and video is becoming an important part of traffic over such networks. These impairments such as bit errors and packet losses significantly impact the quality of service (QoS) of applications and degrade their performance.
In this dissertation, a number of techniques for efficient transmission of multimedia information over packet-switched cellular networks are presented. For the uplink channel in DS-CDMA systems, multiuser detection and channel decoding can be performed jointly to improve the performance of systems. We propose a new joint detection-decoding (JDD) receiver with significantly less complexity and slight reduction in performance. This joint detection-decoding receiver can be employed in multimedia applications such as image transmission for more efficient operation. The other impairments, packet losses, need to be corrected at the receiver for reliable communication. Packet-level forward error correction (FEC) schemes can be improved when they adapt to network conditions. These adaptive FEC schemes outperform the static FEC scheme in terms of the packet loss rate. Utilizing the concept of gaps that is motivated by the Markov gap model for packet losses over the Internet, adaptive FEC schemes can be further improved. We study the packet loss process and investigate its modeling using the Markov gap model. Furthermore, a gap-based adaptive FEC scheme for packet-loss recovery is proposed. We employ these new transmission approaches for image/video transmission over packet-switched cellular networks and demonstrate superior performance.

Fledgling farm body steps up to the next level
It's hard not to admire the Beef Plan Movement.
In the space of just four short months, this group of farmers has grown from the minnows to 15,000 members.
The group has held public meetings in all but a few counties and it has garnered support from multiple cattle breed societies, some farm organisations and opposition politicians.
Government officials – from Leinster House to Brussels – know who these farmers are and have a general understanding of what they want. That is: a fair and sustainable price for beef.
They have sparked debate – and resistance too.
The country's meat processors have acknowledged their existence; while some farm lobby groups have shrugged off assertions of any potential challenge they may pose to the status quo.
All in all, they have people talking.
But, what's next?
History tells us that successful people's movements are based on the following hallmarks: leadership; mobilisation; and strategy.
So how is the new entity faring on these fronts?
The founders of the movement – Meath beef farmers Eamon Corley and Hugh Doyle – have spent weeks on the road getting their 86-point plan for the overhaul of the beef industry by 2025 into the hands of as many like-minded producers as possible.
They have invited thousands of farmers to be part of the discussion on the movement's WhatsApp messaging platform.
A national committee and county chairpersons have been appointed and the Beef Plan Movement is now officially registered as a CLG (company limited by guarantee).Also Read: Beef Plan Movement officially registers as a company
Sitting in on a meeting of the county chairs in Tullamore last Thursday night (January 10), it is clear that each farmer's determination to "take back control" of the food chain remains steadfast – but, the group is also very cognisant that its recruitment tactics have to progress as the entity evolves.
Beef Plan spokesperson says: "The day of farmers going to the factories, in single file, to get slaughtered on price is over" pic.twitter.com/O3yH6DNzmr
— AgriLand (@AgrilandIreland) November 7, 2018
From the start the founders set a membership target of 40,000 farmers and, having come more than 30% of the way, the responsibility is now being firmly placed on the shoulders of current members to sign up at least two others under a new townland-by-townland approach.
To date the main support strongholds are counties: Roscommon, Galway and Mayo. Each county has more than 1,000 members.
In addition, county reps are in the process of setting up purchasing groups that will seek out "special deals" on fuel, insurance, fertiliser, electricity, farm hardware, etc. in a bid to build loyalty and trust.
The groundwork is also being laid for the establishment of county producer groups – initially for beef finishers – with the aim of gathering information on exactly what cattle are in every county.
Meaningful plans
The movement is also seeking out independent factories that may be willing to kill cattle on a contract basis.
Idle factories and unused cold stores are on the radar too.
Apparently, some companies have expressed interest in selling the movement's beef "in large volumes".
The chairs will also now explore farmer interest in investing in a co-operative for the processing and marketing of the movement's beef.
But, like all collections of people engaged in a movement, those involved don't always agree on what action should be taken.
"We have to think outside the box or we are still going to be destroyed. There will be ups and downs; but we have to stick together as a group," said Doyle.
With multiple subcommittees now being developed and several political meetings on the horizon – Charlie McConalogue, Fianna Fail's spokesperson on agriculture, attended the group's public meeting in Co. Donegal this week – the movement is now focused on presenting itself in a "professional" manner.
Casting a wide net
Having collected a contribution fee of €10 from members to fund year one of its development, at the meeting unanimous support from the national committee was given for a motion to bring a suitable public relations firm on board to drive its message.
One wonders if all grassroots members will embrace this approach.
However, with research showing that people's movements are more successful when they can persuade a significant portion of the public to get behind their cause, it's clear these farmers are casting a wide net – beyond the confines of front-line farming.
Although this is just a flavour of the strides taken by this tenacious group of farmers – who will undoubtedly face clashes and scrutiny from political forces, corporate elites and some farming counter bodies in the months ahead – one thing is for sure; they are showing no signs of backing down.

Six Unexpected Things You Should Be Doing With a Blowtorch
If you haven't depressed the trigger on a blowtorch and heard the momentary hiss of the gas releasing, followed by the low whoosh of the flame catching, well, my friend, I recommend you try it. There must be some caveman-brain connection with fire that takes place, or maybe it's the six-year-old in me. But either way, the first time I grabbed a blow torch and clicked it on, I was hooked.
Fortunately, it's also a ridiculous useful tool to have around the shop! It's one of those tools that you don't know you need until the occasion presents itself, but trust me, once you own one, you'll have plenty of occasions to use it. Here are just a few of the ways a blowtorch can make itself useful:

How I Crafted a Custom Civil War Sword Display Stand for a 150-Year-Old Family Heirloom
A few weeks ago I got a text from a buddy. He had just moved and was setting up the new house. He told me "I think this time around I want to make sure my sword has a place." By his sword, he meant his 1865 Union Artillery Saber that had been with him since the 1st grade. (Talk about high expectations when the parents give you a sword at age nine). But the issue was that he didn't have a good way to display it, and the cheaply made, $30 online holders just didn't seem fitting. That's why he called me up, and asked if I could help. I gladly accepted the challenge, and came up with this beast. Here's how I did it.

Weekend Project: How to Make a Ring from a Quarter
The coin ring is an internet DIY classic. I remember seeing an old video (on Makezine, perhaps?) on creating a nickle ring way back in the early days of the DIY and craft blogosphere. Like, 2006.
But, most tutorials simply harvest the coin as raw material, banging it and beating it until it looks like any piece of cool-colored metal. These pieces by Nicholas Heckaman, however, fully embrace the ring's origin, showing off that recognizable texture and type, giving the ring plenty of personality.

The Washington Post reports that this skyrocket in cases is tied to Labor Department crackdowns on independent contractor misclassifications, as well as media attention surrounding local minimum wage increases and proposed changes to overtime rules. 211,000 Jobs Added in November, Tops Forecast The US jobs report released earlier today says that the economy added 211,000 jobs last month, topping the initial projection of 200,000. While the unemployment rate remained the same at 5 percent, The New York Times reports that economists were hoping to see stronger numbers as it relates to wage growth. The November report shows that hourly wages rose by just 0.2 percent, pushing the 12 month gain to 2.5 percent. Toxic Employees Cost Companies an Average of $12k A recent Harvard Business School study found that "avoiding hiring a 'toxic worker' saves companies around $12,500 or more, while hiring a superstar employee only saves about $5,300 for the company". CNBC reports that these negative employees are so costly to businesses because their behavior drives away other workers, forcing companies to spend funds on turnover costs. Alcohol at Company Sponsored Events Every year, a growing number of companies find themselves on the wrong end of legal actions stemming from the behavior of their employees following the excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages at a company sponsored event. Be it a holiday party or event just a sales meeting, employers must be diligent in controlling alcohol ingestion.

Effect of added prebiotic (Isomalto-oligosaccharide) and Coating of Beads on the Survival of Microencapsulated Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
Abstract The study aimed to encapsulate Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) with the selected prebiotic, using co-extrusion technology with a poly-L-lysine (PLL) coating and evaluate probiotic survival in simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Selection of ideal prebiotic was conducted using inulin, fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) and isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO) and its optimal concentration to be incorporated in microencapsulation was determined. Microcapsules without coating (S1: no prebiotic and S3: with prebiotic) and with coating (S2: no prebiotic and S4: with prebiotic) produced were evaluated based on its physical properties and survival in simulated gastrointestinal environment. The IMO with a concentration of 3.0% (w/v) was selected due to its best effect in promoting growth of LGG after 24 h (8.63±0.07 log CFU/mL). The morphology analysis revealed that all microcapsules produced were spherical with a diameter ranging from 491.3 to 541.7 µm and microencapsulation efficiency ranged from 84.16 ±5.30% to 90.56±3.33%. The incorporation of IMO and coating with PLL improved the survival of LGG by 3% up to 52% after 2 h of incubation in simulated gastric digestion. Among all formulations, PLL coated microcapsules added with IMO was the most effective in protecting LGG during the first hour of simulated gastric digestion (6.52 log CFU/mL) with cell viability greater than the minimum recommended level of 106 CFU/mL.

We've just got hold of some footage which shows Sir 'No Confidence' Nigel Thrift call us "a bunch .of yobs".
The comments were made on Thursday 12th at the end of the Warwick Summit on Protest organised by the Warwick Human Rights Centre to address the issues raised by the police attack on a peaceful sit in on December 3rd last year.
This comment distills the patronising and dismissive attitude sustained by management throughout the entire summit and demonstrates the total contempt they feel for their students.
Nigel's comments are symptomatic of the lack of regard shown toward students, increasingly conceived of as nothing more than passive consumers.
It seems that objecting to being CS gassed and threatened with tasers makes us "yobs". If that is the case, we'd rather be yobs than authoritarian managers who run universities like businesses and treat angry students like an irrelevant inconvenience.
After the summit we went an finished off our sit in at Senate house, which had so rudely been interrupted last year.
