Photographers Financial Fiasco
on Monday,September 28,2009 17:09
Annie Leibovitz, the jet-setting photographer whose recent financial troubles forced her to put up her four New York houses and perhaps more notably her entire body of work as collateral, has successfully retained control of her photographs and homes thanks to renegotiations of her loan terms.
The 59-year-old shutterbug''s financial tailspin stems from a series of bad investments, law suits and tax problems, though the cost of professional photography might itself be sometimes overwhelming.
Personal finance management and marketing have become mandatory classes in many photography programs across the country and -seemingly - with good reason.
CollegeGrad.com reports that more than half of professional photographers are self-employed - some working on contract to magazines or fashion agencies, others operating their own portrait studios or freelancing. "Because most freelance and portrait photographers purchase their own equipment, they incur considerable expense acquiring and maintaining cameras and accessories," they declare on their photography information page.
Leibovitz, herself a graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, rose to prominence as the cover photographer for Rolling Stone magazine famously shooting the iconic image of a nude embrace between John Lennon and then-wife Yoko Ono in 1980.

Reasons Why People Need To Apply For Travel Insurance
People travels for various reasons. The travelers might travel due to business activities while others for holidays. Career progress is another reason why people move from one country to another. The many reasons why people travel is not an issue of concern. The major point to note the importance of having a travel insurance cover.
You can find travel insurance online. It is crucial to select the best travel insurance company online. The two main steps when applying for the cover is to complete an online form and pay for it. You can also buy the travel insurance cover offline form an insurance agency. Before traveling ensure you have a travel insurance cover.
The local travelers are not exempted from getting an insurance cover. One of the gains of having a travel insurance cover is that you can obtain medication in whichever country. It is beneficial to those travelers who have a medical insurance that limits them to get treated by a specific doctor. With the travel insurance you can legally get treatment from any doctor anywhere.
No one can tell when they will fall sick because life is unpredictable. During your trip, you can get infected by an infectious virus in the air and makes you fall ill. In other cases you might even hurt or injure yourself hence the need for medical attention. In such a case, you will not be forced to pay for the medical services. In case of a car accident the insurance cover is also useful. There are also other unforeseen risks such as epidemic outbreaks or riots. When you face such issues; the travel insurance helps in moving you to safe destinations or help them out of the country.
Sometimes travel plan might get destroyed if your trip gets cancelled for some reason. Travelers covered by the insurance policies are refunded their money in case the flight is cancelled. It is the responsibility of the travel insurance agency to help you find lodging in case your flight delays. If any insurance company does not cover you, then you are forced to spend extra money for accommodation when the flight delays. The agency is also responsible for helping you if you face issues with lost, stolen, and delayed luggage's.
You might end up losing essential elements that you need for the journey and you are forced to purchase new ones. If you have a fixed budget, it becomes stressful to continue with the journey. But if you are insured, the agency repays for the stolen or lost goods. Other travelers lose their money which becomes a problem, but they are getting financial aid from the travel insurance. Travelers with insurance covers feel at peace when they know they are protected or hidden from the potential risks that come during their journey.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appears to have suffered more damage from the SNC-Lavalin scandal than U.S. President Donald Trump has from the Russia investigation, hush money payments to a porn star, alleged campaign finance violations, threats of impeachment proceedings and the litany of new investigations launched by Democrats.
That's according to a new Ipsos poll, conducted exclusively for Global News, which found that Trudeau's approval rating (40 per cent) has now slipped below Trump's (43 per cent), even as the Conservative Party established a double-digit lead over the Liberals.
The Liberal government's federal budget did little to quell the damage, the poll found, with most Canadians indifferent about it and only a small minority impressed by Finance Minister Bill Morneau's offerings.
The Conservatives are now sitting pretty in crucial provinces Ontario and British Columbia, with Trudeau managing to fall behind among two of the key demographics that swept him to victory in 2015, women and young people.
If an election were held tomorrow, the Conservatives would receive 40 per cent of the vote among decided voters, according to the poll of 1,002 Canadians conducted between March 25 and 27.
That's unchanged since Ipsos' last poll on March 4.
"Whatever this SNC-Lavalin thing is, it seems to have settled in. We're creating a new normal in which the Conservatives are consistently ahead of the Liberal Party," said Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs.
"People in Ottawa can say what they want about the significance of the scandal — 'there's no sex, there's no money, what is this all about?'
"But Canadians are sitting back and saying this has really caused them to reconsider supporting a combination of this prime minister and this Liberal government."
The province-by-province breakdown makes for worrying reading for the Liberals.
In seat-rich Ontario, the Conservatives (40 per cent) have opened up a 12-point lead over the Liberals, who are tied with the NDP at 28 per cent.
The Tories also enjoy a double-digit lead in British Columbia, where the Liberals and NDP are in a scrap for second place.
Alberta looks to be a foregone conclusion, with the Conservatives (63 per cent) light-years ahead of the Liberals (17 per cent) and NDP (15 per cent).
"When you take a look at where the Conservatives are leading, they're now leading everywhere you need to lead," Bricker said. "They really don't need anything else to beat the Liberals."
Indeed, the only province in which the Liberals are in pole position is Quebec, where they have the support of 38 per cent of respondents.
However, the Conservatives (25 per cent) and Bloc Quebecois (23 per cent) appear to have enough strength to prevent the Liberals from truly taking advantage of their Quebec share as they did in 2015.
The NDP, with only 12 per cent of the vote support, is poised to lose most if not all of its seats in Quebec. But it's not the Liberals who stand to gain from Quebecers deserting the NDP, Bricker said.
"These are not people who are Liberal-NDP switchers. These are probably Bloc Quebecois voters who couldn't vote Bloc last time because of all the problems they were having, combined with people who voted for the Coalition Avenir Quebec," Bricker said.
Compounding the Liberals' misery is the fact that their leader is now bleeding support among some of the core constituencies that helped sweep him to power in 2015.
Forty per cent of women now say they would vote Conservative, compared to just 28 per cent for the Liberals (the Tories enjoy a similar lead among men).
Among younger voters aged 18 to 34, the Conservatives (34 per cent) hold a slight lead over the Liberals (31 per cent).
The only key subset among which the Liberals lead is the university-educated, with 44 per cent approval compared to 30 per cent for Conservatives.
"What's happened is that the brand that Trudeau had — he had a strong appeal among young people, and there was a gender gap that worked in his favour — all seems to be gone," Bricker said.
Indeed, Trudeau's individual approval rating as prime minister now sits at 40 per cent, three points lower than that of Trump in the U.S.
"In spite of all the issues that they've had to deal with in the United States, the likelihood that the president of the United States will get re-elected is higher right now than the prime minister [of Canada] being re-elected," Bricker said.
Trudeau's 40 per cent rating is also lower than that of former prime minister Stephen Harper at this stage in 2015, with Harper having a 47 per cent rating in April 2015.

So today is my first day of freedom. Well its supposed to be. After 18 years of education I'm officially done. Well according to fulfilling my parents quota I am. I've gone through nursery, primary school, secondary, sixth form and now I've finished three years of my undergraduate degree.
It wasn't an easy path, well primary school was. I think work started when I was nine and my parents put me forward for the eleven plus. That's when the work started and until now I don't think it stopped. I thought getting into a good grammar school would be it, I would be set and now the school would do the hard work for me but I guess going to grammar school would set me up with a hard working ethic where even today on my first day of freedom I can't stop and had to start writing this. I guess I don't know where I am going and that unsettles me.
When applying to university I wanted to go into a degree that I enjoyed and would have options and I managed to successfully get into a degree which did that. As a graduate I can go into anything from engineering, PR, law, teaching or accountancy. Yes, for some of these options I would have to do another year of education but this course has left me with so many options that I'm confused. Of course I am grateful and this is exactly what I wanted, I can't complain because I like to be free and have the ability to change my career path. I could have done a course which led me straight into a degree, I think there's a word for that but at this minute I can't remember it. (Give me a break I have just finished a degree).
And now I am here. Sitting in my garden in 28 degree heat writing away trying to find my path. But it's hard. Now you may be thinking, if I am this concerned wouldn't I have done something in advance? Well I have. I have been applying for jobs and have had some interviews and sadly they were unsuccessful but they were my first ever interviews so I was kind of using this as experience. Now I know I am not the only one which feels like this, happy with their degree decision but confused about my future plans because of the amount of options. And I feel it is normal but I think its finally hit me that I am officially done as a child and am a graduate ready to enter the real world. As much as it excites me and I can't wait to see where I end up because I know it will be amazing, I am anxious to be in this space of not knowing but I guess that's the fun of life. When you go into something unknowing and then when you finally adapt to the change you cant imagine your life without it.
So as I ramble on, I am writing this as a daily update of my life for me and for everyone else who feels scared or confused or for anyone else who's just nosy. I'll be updating you all on my graduate life and where I end up finding my feet in this chaotic career orientated world.

Don't let your domain name expire!
by Barbara Pearn - Saturday, September 01, 2018
This may seem like very simple advise, but we've seen this happen often. Clients let their domains expire for different reasons. We've listed some ways it can happen and how to avoid it. If your domain does expire, your website will go down and so will your email, if you have an email associated with your website. Don't let that happen.
How does this happen?
There are many reasons a domain can expire.
- Email addresses are changed and they aren't updated with their registration company, the bill is then emailed to an invalid address.
- The domain registration company is forgotten or lost. The domain registrar sends out an email and if you ignore it because it looks like other junk emails, the deadline to pay the bill is missed.
- The email gets caught in a spam filter and no one sees it.
- A credit card expires and it isn't updated it in the account.
What happens if your domain expires?
The first thing that happens is your website goes down and your email stops working. Most clients notice that they're not getting any emails.
Getting a domain back after it has expired could cost you hundreds of dollars.
You could loose your domain name forever. All the work you've done to promote your website is gone. There could be a lot of links pointing to your website that you don't know about and they will all return a not found error. People looking for your website will think you have gone out of business.
If you do have to go with a new domain name, all the links and ranking that you have built up over the years is gone. You're going to be starting over in search engines from scratch.
Save yourself a lot of grief and keep your domain registration fees paid. Keep a record on your calendar of when you registered your domain and the company name. Put the email of the company in your address book so that the email doesn't go in your trash folder. If you do change your email address make sure that you have updated it in your account.

Cette année, toutes catégories confondues, 14 certificats de reconnaissance ont été remis à des architectes ayant complété des projets à Québec au cours de la dernière année. Dans la catégorie «Hommage», un 15e prix a été remis à l'architecte Michel Galienne afin de couronner sa carrière, qui s'est achevée en 2008 chez ABCP architecture.
Thermal envelope design could save 80 per cent on energy costs
DesignBuild Source
A new concept put forth by two Toronto university professors could see energy consumption in homes reduced by up to 80 per cent during cold winter months. Russell Richman of Ryerson's department of architectural science and University of Toronto professor Kim Pressnail have partnered to come up with the idea of Nested Thermal Envelope Design, which heats certain zones in homes. The professors note that space heating is the largest drain on energy in Canada. By dividing a home into separate zones — perimeter and core — and installing a small heating unit that cycles heat back into the home before it can escape, they estimate energy consumption can be cut drastically.

Le plus grand architecte des temps modernes est décécé
La Presse
Plus qu'un grand architecte, Oscar Niemeyer illustrait avant tout la résilience du peuple brésilien, sa lutte pour la survie dans un contexte socio-économique, encore aujourd'hui d'une très grande cruauté envers les intellectuels et les artistes brésiliens. Strates de la société qu'il a appuyées dans un geste avant tout symbolique, en choisissant l'exil sous la dictature militaire, alors qu'il aurait pu tout aussi bien rester au pays de la bossa nova et de Tom Jobin. Il avait choisi la France où De Gaulle l'avait accueilli à bras ouverts, d'après ce qu'il m'avait confié. Douce France, où il s'était lié d'amitié avec Pablo Picasso.
Point-supported glass architecture use on the rise
Daily Commercial News
With the increased use of glass in buildings, point-supported glass architecture is increasingly becoming the structural and aesthetic option for architects and owners to showcase their projects.

The Guy- Bélisle library is a 2,600 square meter public library with a multipropose space that services the city of Saint-Eustache, located north of Montreal, Canada. The dark mineral clad project marks the entry to the city on a picturesque tree lined riverside site. The volumetric concept of the project is based on a simple extruded rectangular tube that is folded twice. At each end of the elevated tube, glass surfaces open fully to views of the river at the level of the abundant tree tops. The two chamber like reading areas are located at the back of the site, and are wrapped in warm wood cladding on all interior surfaces.

Absolute Towers / MAD Architects
Arch Daily
Throughout the process of urbanization, skyscrapers have been symbols of technological bravado, prime capitals and the societal projections of wealth and prosperity. This limited framework for skyscrapers often results in solutions limited by homogenous, linear structures and degenerative duplication in business districts across the globe. Forced into an unnatural state of conformity, metropolitan life is negatively affected by these unchecked, efficiency-centric development practices. Without a challenge to the status quo, our cities will continue to lack the cohesion of life as implied by the term: forest. A forest is a thriving ecosystem wherein every organism survives only in a state of symbiosis. New ambitions nurtured in a changing global consciousness challenge the aging pattern of last century's development and favor fresh thoughtful, inspiring and eloquent solutions for tomorrow's high-rises.

Our Future
The future of the automotive industry is taking shape: it's clean, cheap and shared. It not only reflects the challenges looming over the conventional car, rather also over entire cities. It is expected that 60% of the world's population will live in cities by 2030, compared to 50% today. Still, even today, all major cities face challenges such as noise, pollution and traffic congestion. GreenMobility enhances the infrastructure of a city. We provide positive solutions to some of these challenges by being 100% electric and shared among many people, reducing per-capita CO2 emissions.

Monitor Township, MICHIGAN (WJRT) - (06/11/2019) - The race is on, to keep mosquitoes from taking flight.
The heavy rain we've received has mosquito control crews across Mid Michigan scrambling.
Tuesday night we caught up with one mosquito control veteran who says this is war.
For 71-year old Jim Hughes, this isn't just a job, it's a passion.
"Gives me a purpose to get out of bed," he said.
Hughes, who has been on the front lines for 17 years, says this week is a race against time.
"Trying to stay ahead of the game, which is an endless battle," he noted.
Tuesday night we caught up with Hughes and his crew mate Ahleah Yaworski as they were treating ditches filled with standing water and thousands of larvae.
They can only drive 10-miles-per hour while spraying. So Hughes shared this plea with fellow drivers:
"Slow down," he said."Give us a break so we can help you out."
The Larvae ingests a biological product called BTI that causes them to die before they mature.
Bay County Mosquito Control Manager Rebecca Brandt says the combination of heavy rain and warmer temperatures is not working in their favor:
"We want to treat the mosquito larvae that's starting to emerge in the standing water, before they become an adult mosquito," she said.
With a 7-to-10 day window, it's all hands on deck.
While rain events are not typically associated with disease activity, mosquito activity associated with West Nile Virus can occur May thru September.
Brandt says it you are outdoors at dusk or dawn, it's a good idea to wear long sleeves, long pants and socks, and to use a mosquito repellent with DEET.
The hope, of course, when it comes to nuisance mosquitoes, is Jim will be able to prevent the larvae from ever taking flight, a battle he takes seriously:
"I hope we come out on top," he remarked."We'll give you a 60/40 odds if it doesn't rain anymore."

Spatiotemporal integration of molecular and anatomical data in virtual reality using semantic mapping

Abstract: We have developed a computational framework for spatiotemporal integration of molecular and anatomical datasets in a virtual reality environment. Using two case studies involving gene expression data and pharmacokinetic data, respectively, we demonstrate how existing knowledge bases for molecular data can be semantically mapped onto a standardized anatomical context of human body. Our data mapping methodology uses ontological representations of heterogeneous biomedical datasets and an ontology reasoner to create complex semantic descriptions of biomedical processes. This framework provides a means to systematically combine an increasing amount of biomedical imaging and numerical data into spatiotemporally coherent graphical representations. Our work enables medical researchers with different expertise to simulate complex phenomena visually and to develop insights through the use of shared data, thus paving the way for pathological inference, developmental pattern discovery and biomedical hypothesis testing.

The hamburger is perhaps the greatest equalizer the food world has ever known. It is enjoyed across cultures, generations and economic statuses and can be customized to fit any flavor inclination or dietary following.
But the burger is much more than a patty between two buns. The burger tells a story.
Through its transformation over the centuries, from humble beginnings to a worldwide phenomenon to a topic of controversy, its history has closely followed our own.
So how did one of the world's most beloved foods come to be, and what might it become in the future?

Clinical Trial Claims *
Clinical trials are research studies which are carried out on people in order to answer questions on how the body could respond or react to new medication, treatments and medical devices. This medical research is carried out when a new medication or drug has reached the final stages of testing and is just about to be taken into the market. This testing is used to ensure that this new medication is safe for use and also allows manufacturers to determine if there are any side effects associated with its use. This clinical research cannot take place until it has been authorized by a healthcare authority.
In most cases, it is people from the age of eighteen who can take part in clinical trials, people usually volunteer for this. Participants do not have to be healthy to take part. In some cases there are certain criteria which you must meet before you can participate. This can be a specific age group, weight bracket or general health of a person. If you have sustained an injury or developed an illness as a result of participation in a clinical trial you may be entitled to make a claim * . It is important to note that this is also the case if you have volunteered to take part. Although most of these trials are carried out in a safe manner there is still a change that an injury or illness may be sustained. Many of these illnesses are unavoidable as this can often go with the nature of clinical trials and testing. Injuries which can be sustained will vary and can have different effect on individuals who are taking part.
Clinical Trial Phases
In most cases there are four main phases associated with clinical trials.
- In the first phase the safety of the drug is tested. In most cases it is tested on healthy participants in order to monitor the negative side effects which the drug may have. At this stage the correct dosages can also be assessed.
- The second stage is when the medication is tested on sick patients. This allows them to assess if the drug improves the health of a patient. In order to assess this, the participant will need to have the illness which the drug can be used to treat.
- At this stage the new medication is tested on larger groups of sick patients in order to compare it with drugs which are already on the market. This is used to show the effectiveness of the new drug and to determine which works better.
- This is the final phase of clinical trials which is carried out when the drug has received a licence. This stage of testing looks at long-term side effects and benefits associated with the medication.
Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA)
The role of the HPRA is to protect and enhance the health of the public through the regulation of medicines, medical devices and any other health products. They are also responsible for the assessment of clinical trials relating to medical products in Ireland. Currently in Ireland, clinical trials are governed by the European Communities (Clinical Trials on Medicinal Products for Human Use) Regulations 2004. These regulations state that in order for a clinical trial to take place it must first be authorised by the HPRA to ensure that it follows the correct procedures along with health and safety regulations. Outlined in these regulations is the steps which must be taken in order to request a clinical trial and also how it should be carried out to ensure the health and safety of all participants and volunteers.
Common Injuries
- Deterioration of existing medical condition
- Severe side effects leading to injury and illness
- Development of an illness as a result of medication tested
- Incorrect treatment given to those who are unwell
If you would like more information on this topic or the process of making a claim for clinical trial errors *, feel free to contact our solicitors on 01 649 9900 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for a confidential discussion.
With over 30 years' experience, Tracey Solicitors ensure not to overwhelm you with legal jaegon and can provide you with legal advice and guidance with your best interest at heart, in a language that you can understand.

In partnership with their Swiss buyer Chocolats Halba, some groups of producers decided to develop agroforestry systems adapted to their cocoa plantations. The aim is to recreate and maintain soils fertility. Indeed, while meeting producers' needs, agroforestry systems make it possible to avoid the exhaustion of fragile soils.
In Ghana, cocoa beans are grown mostly in monoculture. Unfortunately, decades of this monoculture have leached the soils. In 2011, the cooperative initiated a planting program in the Kumasi region in order to support farmers to develop sustainable agroforestry systems, as more productive and responsive to their cocoa plantations.
The Kuapa Kokoo cooperative was created in 1993 after the liberalization of the Ghanaian cocoa market. The cooperative's slogan is "Pa Pa PAA" which means "a better quality". The Kuapa Kokoo cooperative was born from the producers' desire to create their own structure that would represent them. Created by and for small-scale producers, it seeks to enhance the development of the local community. It has now nearly 45 000 members.
Part of the producers produce their cocoa in organic agriculture and following the principles of fair trade, but at this stage agroforestry is not very developed. Agroforestry was a very common cultivation method traditionally used in Ghana, but the increasing pressure on the lands led many farmers to suppress the trees on their lands to plant cocoa trees, in single-crop farming. Through this practice, a large amount of vegetation is still destroyed and biodiversity is being lost, which leads to the gradual decrease of productivity if chemical fertilizers are not used.
In partnership with their Swiss buyer Chocolats Halba, some groups of producers decided to develop agroforestry systems adapted to their cocoa plantations. The aim is to recreate and maintain soils fertility. Indeed, while meeting producers' needs, agroforestry systems make it possible to avoid the exhaustion of fragile soils. This project enables farmers to increase their incomes, through higher yields and diversification, secure their production and sourcing over the long-term, and anticipate expected climate change impacts. It also contributes to the water availability and quality, and to the restoration of the biodiversity.
Moreover, land scarcity means that many producers, and even more in mountainous areas, own very small parcels. Therefore, agroforestry appears to be a good option as it provides many useful products, even on a limited area.

The Kuapa Kokoo cooperative was established in 1993 during the liberalization of Ghana's domestic cocoa market. The cooperative was the first to achieve Fairtrade certification in 1995. It is directly managed by the farmers, who organize the collection of beans, payments, product marketing and contribute to development of local communities.
Plantation models
Species planted
The Kuapa Kokoo cooperative brings 60,000 cocoa smallholder spread throughout the Ghanaian area of cocoa production. 21 villages participated in the plantations in 2011 and 2012. The farmers who are involved in the project live in villages or small hamlets alongside the cocoa plantations. The average farm size is relatively small: 2 ha on average with a majority of less than 1 ha plantations.

Time for my favourite posts of the past month, May! I wish I could make a huge list of posts I've loved as there has been some amazing ones this month. If you haven't checked out last months favourites you can check it out here.
So a quick summary again to why I'm doing this series. I am literally the worst at commenting on blog posts. I read so many but I either forget to comment, don't remember my passwords for the accounts or my phone likes to mess me around and make it super hard to comment. So instead I want to feature 3 of my favourite posts a month as a thank you for the great content.
Let's get started then shall we? Here's 3 of my favourite posts this month.
I could relate to this post by Nicole so much. Nicole explains perfectly how it feels to suffer from a mental illness. I have always worried during the years I've suffered from anxiety and depression about what my friends must think and how they must see me. Nicole has written this post amazingly well and it's a post I think everyone should read – those who suffer and friends of people who suffer as well. I would try and explain the post briefly but I really don't think I could write anything as well as Nicole has, so I encourage everyone to go over to Nicoles blog and have a read.
Well first thing I want to say is – Happy 1st Anniversary Jasmin! I love personal posts like this. It may be a nice and short post but I absolutely loved it. The photos are gorgeous and were taken in the middle of Helsinki, a place I'd love to visit one day. Jasmin, I hope the next year for you and your husband is just as amazing, especially with your little one. You can check out Jasmines blog here.
Finding confidence as a mother
I'm so happy to hear that Maisie has got her confidence back as a mother, it's something I still lack in now! All of the thoughts that Maisie has written about in this post have all gone through my head as well, and she has made some really good points regarding them. If you're a mother who is struggling with their mummy confidence (although I'm certain you're an amazing mummy!) you should definitely have a read of Maisies post. It really made me think about what I get anxious about and it's actually given me a spurt of confidence to go out with my son alone..
Please go check out these amazing girls and their blogs. They deserve so much love! I can't wait to see what else they bring the next few months. My favourite post that I've written this month has been 'Blogging on a Budget'. I spent a long while coming up with ideas for this post so I was quite proud of myself when I wrote it!
Thanks so much for reading this post and I'd love for you to check out these lovely ladies blogs. Please leave your links in the comments of your favourite posts you've written this month, and leave links of other blogs you've read that you've loved.

Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.
The direct-drive permanent magnet generator has been a key enabler in the growth of offshore wind in Europe. Their multi-megawatt scalability has brought improved efficiency and lower maintenance costs – but they use large volumes of rare earth magnets, which are scarce, expensive, and sourced almost exclusively from China.
Wed 13 Jun 2018
Last Updated
Wed 5 Dec 2018
GreenSpur Renewables was established to develop and commercialise a new direct-drive generator that exclusively uses ferrite – an abundant material around forty times cheaper than rare earth – as an alternative. The Essex SME's concept removes the price and supply risks of using rare earth magnets and presents enormous opportunities for UK-based manufacturing and its associated supply chain.
"Scaling up short term production in the UK could create 200 new manufacturing jobs plus a further 70 in the supply chain. If the technology is deployed at the 2GW to 3GW level, it could lead to the creation of over 3,000 new UK jobs." Andrew Hine, GreenSpur Renewables"
GreenSpur and the ORE Catapult successfully tested a 75kW prototype in autumn 2017. The collaborative partnership has continued with the support of Innovate UK grant funding and the focus is now on testing of a 250kW stage of a 1MW unit during Q1 2019. GreenSpur is also working on multi-MW designs with Warwick Manufacturing Group and plans to release technical data to development partners during 2019. GreenSpur's revolutionary technology has worldwide export potential and if deployed at to the 2–3GW level could lead to the creation of over 3,000 new jobs: this is a revolutionary UK technology with the potential to have a global impact.

BioWare will talk more about how the dynamic world will coexist with a player's own story.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 02nd, Aug. 2018 Under News
BioWare has been doing its bit to market Anthem as a shared world shooter full of lore and interesting places to visit. The entire map is open from the start, and players at lower levels can join their friends and take advantage of scaling, contributing to the fight without weighing everyone else down. However, many want to know about the solo experience in Anthem.
In a mid-Summer update blog post, BioWare general manager Casey Hudson sought to clarify the developer's approach with the story-telling once more. Hudson sought to answer how player agency could be a thing when you're experiencing a living adventure with friends.
"In my opinion, our solution to this design challenge is one of the most innovative things about Anthem," he explained. "We talked briefly at EA PLAY about how the solution is called 'Our World, My Story.' In the dynamic open world, everything is experienced in real-time by all Anthem players – day/night, weather, and world-scale events that shape the ongoing narrative of the setting.
"This is 'our world,' which we share as a player community. Then when you return to Fort Tarsis, that's actually a single-player experience, and it's where you spend time developing relationships, making choices, and seeing consequences. That's the 'my story' part."
It doesn't sound all that different from Guild Wars 2, where various events and world bosses would cycle through the zones. The player's story, however, was unique, and could be progressed without worrying too much about the living world aspect.
Regardless, BioWare knows there will be more questions. That's why it will talk about "our world, my story" at a PAX West panel. The Seattle expo takes place from August 31st to September 3rd, and fans can look forward to hearing answers for "other big questions you've had about Anthem."
Anthem is releasing on February 22nd 2019 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Can we make ourselves happier? It is a question I have looked at so often – along with feminist issues – that I even have a category for it on this blog called Existential – and women.
Some say that a combination of a) physical activity; b) other people; and c) nature is the key to happiness, cf walking the Dales Way in England
One of my key ways to improve my mood, when things appear to be going wrong, is to take a step back and get some perspective. I wrote about this in my 2017 blog Things are getting worse, right? Wrong. Here's why.
Other happiness-related blogs include:
– How to be happy: 11 simple tools
– Tuchman's Law (or "Always look on the bright side?"): 9/10 (why the world is much better than it might at first appear)
– Read this now – before you waste more of your precious life
– Transience and Fat Lama (contains a plug for my son Owen's start-up, plus thoughts on sacred carpentry, maps, and the future of ownership); and
– Happiness and small victories (a personal blog, containing rare Bonn, Kyiv and Vienna cycling pictures and details of what makes me punch the air with joy).
Feel free to browse.
One reason I am interested in happiness is my novel Biotime, which focuses on links between mortality, creativity and happiness – see e.g. my February 2015 blog 7 ways to explain the meaning of life. Unfortunately Biotime's publication, beyond the first 25% or so, has been delayed for reasons which are hard to explain in this blog.
Finally, see this link to my blog DON'T PANIC: a communications masterclass 10/10 (October 2015) in which Swedish statistician Hans Rosling explains how in 2000 there were more children in the world than there are now; and how, by the year 2100, the world population will be stable. People keep telling me they disagree with it, but without providing counter-arguments.
It takes an hour to watch Hans Rosling's masterpiece. It may not make you happy, but it may make you worry a bit less, or at least make you think. Sounds like time well spent to me. Do you agree?

In 2012 the Siberian city of Tomsk marked the first time that relatives of Russian soldiers got together to march celebrating the memory of their family members who fought for Russia in World War II. From that beginning four years ago, the Immortal Regiment marches have become a feature of Russian parades and patriotic demonstrations. This week the Immortal Regiment march took on huge proportions in Moscow where tens of thousands of families marched, many garbed in World War II uniforms and most carrying portraits of their loved ones who served.
The Immortal Regiment idea has spread to Russian communities around the world –large and small marches have taken place in 42 different countries including many cities in the United States.
Unfortunately we do not march in memory of the fallen, neither for the Second World War or for every other conflict in which American soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guard have given their lives. Nor do we remember the Merchant Marines who bravely sailed to bring much needed supplies to Europe, to Russia and to our other allies. 1 in 26 Merchant Marine mariners serving aboard merchant ships in World WW II died in the line of duty, suffering a greater percentage of war-related deaths than all other U.S. services. Overall nearly 10,000 died serving their country.
No longer does America have military parades. They have disappeared, for the most part, or have been confined to special ceremonies on military bases. On the fourth of July, our national holiday, no tanks clank down the thoroughfares; no boots strike the ground in unison. While some military bands play, a good thing, you won't find a military vehicle passing on parade with the President standing at salute.
It is even worse when it comes to our war dead -those we claim to honor but fall short in showing our affection and respect. Sure we can visit monuments and military cemeteries. The Vietnam Memorial in Washington is one where the names of the fallen are there to be seen and where proud families of the fallen can feel a special kinship. But most of the other monuments, no matter how grandiose, in fact are abstractions. Life is not a hunk of marble.
That is what makes the March of the Immortal Regiment so meaningful. Here the families, the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren turn out showing respect and pride.
There are some things we should learn from Russia, and this is one. When you watch a Russian military parade you will see in an honored place old soldiers, sailors and airmen wearing their medals, sometimes in uniform; most are men but there are also heroic women among them. And just after the soldiers complete their march and the missiles, tanks, airplanes have departed then thousands of families take to the streets with their placards, banners and flags to celebrate the sacrifice their loved ones made during World War II.
Our families deserve a chance to honor their heroes and to do it in the company of other families where such sacrifices have been made.
We have so many to honor in America, but we don't. It is time to change that.

- One Size Fits Most - Never before has CPAP mask sizing been this effortless.
- For Her Design - A smaller headgear size and pink color make this design friendlier to female CPAP users.
- Flexible, Winged Forehead Support - Reduces contact with the forehead, eliminating pressure point pain or red marks.
- Trusted Dual-Walled Mirage Cushion - Building on the success of other Mirage masks, the Mirage FX has the proven Spring Air cushion design you will love.
- Only 4 Parts - No need for instructions to reassemble your mask after cleaning! With only 4 parts (the headgear, mask frame, cushion, and elbow), the Mirage FX CPAP Mask is very user-friendly.
- New Squeeze Tab Elbow - A long-needed feature, the new elbow design makes connecting and disconnecting the hose to the mask a simple task.
- SoftEdge Headgear Design - Kind to the face and head, the ResMed headgear design reduces red marks and headgear discomfort.
- Diffuse Vent Design - Some of the quietest CPAP masks available, the ResMed line incorporates a patented air vent design that quietly diffuses exhaled air.
One effortless fit, one simple solution, one mask for all - this describes the appeal of the ResMed Mirage FX perfectly. In a time where CPAP treatment has become more and more complex, ResMed has taken a bold step by simplifying your mask design and sizing needs. With only four components, the ResMed Mirage FX Nasal CPAP Mask is easy to assemble, easy to fit, and, most importantly, easy to sleep in.
This mask is the Mirage FX for Her CPAP Mask, a design built for the more petite head size generally seen in women. The same mask frame and cushion are used for this design (it does not incorporate a smaller cushion than the Standard size Mirage FX), but it includes a smaller, pink headgear that may work better for some women (especially those with below-average head size). This mask is also available in the standard ResMed Mirage FX model with can be purchased in two cushion sizes and with standard-sized headgear.
The winged, "butterfly" forehead support is new to the ResMed CPAP mask line. Reducing the possibility of pressure point pain or red spots in the morning, the forehead pad design in the Mirage FX is a welcome feature for many CPAP users.

Shipping Info
Shipping Information
Standard shipping is our default shipping method. Under this option we will use either United Parcel Service (UPS) or USPS (United States Post Office) to ship your package. We will make this determination based on speed and cost effectiveness. Shipping costs will be determined based on the total cost of your order. To calculate your shipping, add your item(s) to your shopping cart and use the box marked "Estimate Shipping and Tax".
Please note: Your package will be shipped from our warehouse in the US. We find that we can offer a larger selection of products by shipping directly from the United States, and while we do have offices in Canada, all customer packages will leave from the US warehouse. Because of this, shipment times can vary widely. It generally only takes a few days for the package to reach Canada, but depending on the office at which it arrives, time spent in Customs can be anywhere from 2-4 weeks.
Also, customs officers make a determination as to whether or package should be assessed import duties. We mark every Canadian package as "Personal Medical Supplies" to discourage assessment of these duties. But, if duties are assessed at your Customs office, we cannot be held responsible for those costs. These are not included in your shipping or product charges. Should duties be assessed unfairly, we can provide you with an appeal form that may help in getting your duty charges back.
When will my order be shipped?
Most orders placed before 3:30pm EST/EDT Monday through Friday will be shipped within 1-3 business days. Customers with orders that will take longer to ship will be informed via email or telephone. We make every effort to ship our packages as soon as the order and prescription are received, but certain items may take longer. You will be notified as soon as your order ships via email. We will include any tracking information available.
To help expedite your order shipment, please be sure to promptly send in any required prescriptions for purchased CPAP masks or machines. These will be necessary to process and ship your order quickly.
