Posted by Sarayut You-anan on Wednesday, 19 July 2017
Heavy rain on Wednesday night resulted in chaos across roads in Pattaya.
The rainy season is well and truly here after last night's storm brought widespread traffic problems across the whole city.
Some of the worst hit areas where Sukhumvit road, 3rd road and Khao Talo where water levels were as high as 50cm in some places.
More than 20 cars needed rescuing after either breaking down in the water or getting stuck and needing a tow.
Emergency services worked through the night but even they themselves found it difficult to travel round the city due to the build-up of water.
With more storms certainly on the way let's hope traffic problems won't be as bad over the coming months.

How To Get An Internship As A Wedding Planner
The wedding industry in the United States is bigger than you'd expect. Couples are willing to spend surprising amounts of cash to create an ideal wedding day and to immortalize the occasion in a series of vibrant, moving photographs or videos. Statistics from the U.S. Library of Congress reveal that the domestic wedding industry generates anywhere from $50 to $80 billion of value on a yearly basis across approximately 2.5 million weddings.
Most people might consider wedding planning to more of a part-time job or a niche role that you might not commonly be able to build a career on. After all, there's no major or class in college that specifically trains you in the skill of planning weddings like there is for more traditional and technically demanding roles like chemical or electrical engineering. The recruiting systems and companies that are actively seeking interns for wedding planning are similarly lacking.
Despite the lack of professional pathways in university to a career in wedding planning, securing an internship is nowhere near impossible. However, the process of applying for an internship and the types of skills that are expected of you will be more unconventional in comparison to other careers that are more standard or popular.
Acquiring Basic Skills for Wedding Planning
A career in wedding planning will require you to have a set of working skills that you can practically apply. It's no different from the premise of any job in general. The problem for us is figuring out exactly which skills are desirable and beneficial to your success as a wedding planner.
Let's break it down. Wedding planning is exactly what it sounds like - you'll be in charge of ensuring that all of the standard and typical services that a wedding requires are arranged for and scheduled properly. The difficulty of wedding planning is finding and scheduling multiple services for one date since you have to locate a time that fits in the schedule of every service you require. We should start by going over the types of expected services.
Women's wedding gowns are an incredibly important aspect of planning a wedding that you should consider.
These are the people in charge of planning and designing the wedding event. As a wedding planner, this category encompasses the services you will render.
Food, Videography, DJ
These are three industries that serve markets outside of weddings. This makes recruiting them and setting a schedule a bit more difficult.
Favors and Bridesmaids Gifts
Anything that the bride or groom chooses is fair game. Given the nature of the occasion, gifts are likely to fall under the categories picture frames or jewelry.
Destination Weddings
When a wedding is planned for a location that is neither the bride or groom's residence. Destination weddings are more complex because you now have to keep track of the schedules and circumstances of multiple people as they plan to fly to the destination of the wedding.
As a wedding planner, you will need to be familiar with these services and know the local ones in the area that you are serving as a minimum. Therefore, a clear memory, organizational skills, networking skills, communication skills, and the ability to quickly respond and adapt to unexpected changes are probably the primary abilities expected of you as a professional wedding planner. If you want to pursue an internship in wedding planning, then you first will need to demonstrate that you have experience that shows an aptitude in these skills.
Getting in Touch With Wedding Businesses
Because of the lack of university established programs to promote the training of professionals dealing with wedding services, you will likely be on your own when it comes to seeking out internships. However, this shouldn't be a cause for concern since you will be able to quickly reach out and find the appropriate businesses if you employ some effective networking strategies.
For instance, you might check with your close friends or family to see if any of them are holding a wedding soon. If you're on great terms with them, then you can ask to be invited to the wedding and then start to form connections with the people there. You can even ask to be introduced to their wedding planner after you explain your interest in wedding planning as a career.
You'll also want to start building up your network of wedding-related services and vendors by communicating with as many of those companies at one of your friend or relative's weddings if possible. Again, active networking and building working relationships is key to increasing your chances of securing an internship as a wedding planner.
If no one is in your immediate social circle is holding a wedding, you can start by searching for online websites featuring independent wedding specialists. If you take a look at some of the successful weddings that are frequently available on the site and start thinking about how you would accomplish that, it could make a good starting point when you open up a conversation about an internship with that company. Finally, you can use services like LinkedIn to really leverage your social connections.
With the right mindset, skills, connections, and a little bit of luck, a career as a wedding planner might just open up for you. What are you waiting for?

Rossiter will join S4C in the autumn in the newly created post of director of communications. He will oversee marketing, press, internal communications and the web, reporting to S4C chief executive Iona Jones.
He will also be responsible for comms strategy as S4C prepares for full digital switchover in Wales from 2009.
'The effective promotion of the S4C brand will be a priority for us in the multichannel era,' said Jones. 'Huw's experience will add further expertise to S4C's management team.'
S4C last week claimed that it would lose 'significant amounts of money' when it stops broadcasting English-language programmes, to focus on Welsh output, in 2009.
Rossiter joined Ofcom in September 2003 as it prepared for its launch. He led media relations around Ofcom's statutory review of public-service TV broadcasting (which S4C falls into).
He also handled consultations on TV food advertising to children.
Prior to Ofcom, Rossiter was head of public affairs at the Independent Television Commission.
Between 1992 and 2001 he was head of press and publicity at Cardiff-based BBC Wales. The previous ten years were spent in London as a BBC publicity officer.
Ofcom director of comms Matt Peacock said Rossiter's post will be reviewed in August.

By mutual agreement, on 20th May Cllr David Blackburn took over as Leader of the Green Group on Leeds City Council from his wife Ann who had been Leader for 4 years. Ann will now take on the role of the Party's Whip.
On 8th May in her last full Council meeting as Leader, Cllr Ann Blackburn was in fine form, speaking about several items that were being discussed.
One issue was about the Deputy Police and Crime Commisioner being a political appointment open only to the Labour Party. Cllr Ann Blackburn told the meeting that she and the Green Party did not believe either the Commissioner or Deputy were needed at all and their salaries would be better spent on frontline policing.
Ann also spoke on:
The Children's Heart Unit at Leeds General Infirmary, calling the consultation on whether Leeds should keep the unit "a sham".
Leeds City Market, stating that the revised strategy should offer provision to guarantee traders the ability to assign their leases.
Skills, calling for more jobs and training.
The council meeting was televised and a full recording can be watched here. There are links to individual speakers.

I am not the sort of guy who pushes his opinions off on others, but even I have limits where some behaviors are concerned. I absolutely draw the line at gays. Homosexual behavior is about as unacceptable as you can get. If they're not prancing around in clothes that are way too tight in an effort to draw attention away from their biker mustaches, they're wearing leather chaps designed for bikers to ease their pals into accepting the new Prince Albert. Not being gay myself, I just can't understand why the gays have to be so over the top.
Take my boyfriend for example. There is no reason for him to be so gay. Almost every nook in our house is packed with gay pride. His incessant swishing has tainted every aspect of my life. I'll just be sitting, watching the ball game (go saints) and having a beer or two (go oly) and here comes Brett, prancing in like some nancy boy and tries to put a coaster under my drink, so that "there won't be any rings on the end table." Give me a break. Why not put the chips in a lacy nacho cozy, Brett? I can't say that out loud, though, since he threatened to kick me out of the townhouse after the butter incident—all I did was put the butter on a tea saucer rather than on the Fiestaware Butter Canoe he bought at SantaFe And More. I guess I don't have to tell you that it usually takes less than that to make Princess Brett flip one of his many wigs. What a fag. I will never understand what goes through the queer mind if I live to be a hundred.
I appreciate his "in your face gay pride" as much as anyone, but it's not my face he should worry about. He should think about the biggest face possible, that of the Almighty. God created Adam and eve, not Adam and Steve. I hate to think of my boyfriend, who is a loving and compassionate man, going to Hell just because he is gay, but that's what's going to happen if he doesn't straighten up, and quick. Brett is always telling me "I was born this way. Get over it!" Sometimes I think I should just accept him as he is, but then I remember, "Whoa! He's a fag!"
I also think gays in general should be more honest, and quietly honest if they can manage it. I mean, I had no idea Brett was gay when we started dating. He just seemed like this great, and completely normal guy I happened to think was attractive. After a few weeks, though, it became pretty obvious that things were not as they seemed—in the way he walked, the way he talked, the way he kissed me…just everything. If you had told me a year ago that I would have a faggot boyfriend, I would have told you to go to hell (because that's where liars go anyway) and then I would have hit you, with my fist, or a book or something, since stoning is illegal nowadays. The bottom line is, I would have been very upset, because nothing is more disgusting to me than gay people. Not just gay sex either, but everything about them.
Shopping with Brett, for instance, is a nightmare. If I have to shop, I do it like every other red-blooded American male. I am a hunter, so I look for what I need, I get it, and I go home to use it. Not my man. No sir. After recoiling in mock horror when I suggest that Wal-Mart sheets are just as good as that fluff at LinensAndThings, he proceeds to drag me around the mall with those limp wrists of his for 3 hours looking for just the right piece of chintzy crap to put next to the painting he bought for the conversation pit. In Queerspeak, "The perfect objet to offset the brutal ambiguity of the Nagel."
If he kept his gay ways to himself, maybe I would feel differently, but one look at our bathroom proves he could never do that. My shower things are easy to identify—guy things—shampoo, soap, and a rag. End of story. The rest of the tub area is packed with his creepy fag accessories. Everywhere you look there is something bizarre, effeminate and wrong. Lotions, bodifying gels, loofahs in every geometric configuration available at Bed, Bath,andBehold, scouring mitts, 50 or so containers of body wash, ranging from autumn blend summer berry bath gel in a bottle shaped like a constructions worker to Rain-scented hypoallergenic detergent free non-soap cleansing emollient and conditioning gravy (whose container is so oddly shaped that I figure its used in some freakish and disturbing gay pride bath ritual). I promise you, he waves that stuff in my face constantly, to the tune of "I'm queer and I won't go away!"
Pride in your perverse sexuality is understandable, I guess, but when I expect to have my back washed by the man I love with Lever 2000 and he starts slathering on some Belgian SemiSweet chocolate body icing, it's just wrong. He just does not respect my views—I just want to bathe with my boyfriend, not become part of some homoerotic love scene.
I might as well be living with Paul Linde. At least Uncle Arthur didn't insist on redecorating every inch of Samantha's house. He and Darren had an understanding. Darren doesn't hassle Sam about the witchcraft and Uncle Arthur keeps his lucky boy paws off the merchandise.
I don't mean to imply anything politically incorrect like gays should know their place, or queers should stay out of the paths of decent people, but they absolutely should. Maybe one day Brett and I can reach some sort of compromise: Brett on one side as a total faggot and me on the other side as a person who is not gay. He can be Uncle Arthur and I can be Darren. Oh well, I guess I am stuck with him, even if he is a homosexual and therefore an abomination in the sight of God. In spite of all that he is, and all that people might think I am just because we are dating, I love my gay boyfriend.

The FCC has dismissed a challenge to the license of Raycom's KWWL(TV) Waterloo, Iowa, and granted the station a new seven-year lease on life.
The license had been challenged over two station editorials that the petitioner said were motivated by undisclosed financial interest in the issues, and in one cast, was delivered without sufficient time for reply. The FCC concluded that it had little power to interfere with news decision-making, that private and public interests were not mutually exclusive, and that there was insufficient evidence that granting the license would, on its face, be inconsistent with the public interest.
One editorial was called "The Digital Age of Television" and advocated maintaining the 2009 hard date for the digital switch. The other opposed a ballot initiative creating a local telecommunications utility commission.
Raycom, said petitioner Richard C. Young, did not disclose that it had a financial interest in not extending the time during which it would have to simulcast analog and digital, and did not disclose that it had a financial relationship with a cable provider who would be directly affected by the creation of the utility commission.
In addition, Young said, the editorial on the utility commission came the night before the election, not providing the other side sufficient time for rebuttal.
The FCC pointed out that, since it had scrapped the fairness doctrine--almost 20 years ago--there was no guaranteed right of reply, so the station was not required to make any time available for rebuttal.
The FCC also said that news was the core programming protected by the First Amendment and that the Commission "has very little authority to interfere with a licensee's selection and presentation of...editorial programming. Station KWWL(TV) exercised its good faith discretion in determining that the two editorials were relevant and important to the community it served."
As to the financial interest, Raycom said that was not its motivation, and the FCC said it didn't matter whether it was or not. The FCC's Media Bureau said that while "the public interest is paramount to the private interests of a commercial broadcast licensee," the FCC doesn't generally intervene if the private and public interests are not incompatible. "The private interest in airing the two editorials, to the extent there existed one, did not pose a risk of harm to viewers," the FCC said.

Foreclosures In Mundare
Foreclosures no longer are scary! Thousands have been helped, so why not you? Click below for foreclosures, power of sale and bank owned homes in Mundare.
How can I find foreclosures in Mundare?
I use Foreclosuresearch.ca for my foreclosure needs because it is a one stop shop so to speak for education and learning about the market and foreclosure procedure as well as lists of available properties with photos and descriptions.
This saves me a bunch of time and effort. I don't have to search the internet for hours looking at different Realtors websites combing through houses in Mundare that are definitely not foreclosures or don't fit what I am looking for.
Other options for finding foreclosed houses is to reach out to your local bank to see if they are keeping properties in their portfolio or to contact a local Realtor that concentrates in foreclosure listings. Many Realtors will list which ever property they can get their hands on but they may not be well versed in the foreclosure buying process so you need to be educated before going in.
How to buy a repo house in Mundare with bad credit.
Let me start off by saying that buying a foreclosed house in Mundare with bad credit is entirely possible!
First, you have the alternative to buy a house for cash at a real estate auction. Your credit doesn't play a factor at all because you are not taking out a loan. Not everyone has this form of money lying around though so lets consider other options.
Research federal home buying programs. After the global economic crisis the last several years, banks have started to loosen their lending requirements again at the prompting of governments to allow homebuyers the chance of experiencing homeownership. There are many programs available again to enable those with low incomes or bad credit to buy homes. Your local housing authority department should be able to help if you don't find what you need online.
Search for residential or commercial properties in Mundare and try to find loans with low down payments. Save up money for your down payment but expect to pay a somewhat higher interest rate because of your lower credit score. You should be able to remortgage in a couple of years after making on time payments to obtain a lower rate.
How to buy a foreclosed condo in Mundare, AB.
The initial step is to get pre approved for a mortgage through a bank of your choosing or obtain enough money to buy a house through an auction for all cash.
Next, find condos in Mundare, AB that you are interested in. Find a Realtor that is skilled in foreclosures and will be able to help you through the process of buying.
If you have questions about the process, I would consider consulting with a real estate or foreclosure attorney before purchasing to make sure you understand the method and the complexities of buying foreclosed properties.
Something that ought to be considered before you buy is that some foreclosure properties are not open to having a home inspection done before buying and/or the bank that owns the property may not agree to make any repairs. This could end up costing you some money to make the repairs after buying. This is the only problem in my opinion when buying foreclosed homes.
How long does it take to buy a bank owned home in Mundare?
This depends upon how you are buying the residence. Properties that are bought in cash at an auction are turned over within a week or two maximum depending upon how much time it takes your funds to transfer to the bank and the title to be completed. Personally, I have had properties move to me within three days in most cases.
If you are buying a property through a mortgage then the closing process takes a small bit longer. My experience has been about thirty days to closing, which is pretty regular when purchasing a property.
Are there reasons not to buy a power of sale home?
repo houses are usually sold "as is," suggesting the bank is not willing to make any repairs before offering the property. This means that any repairs could fall back upon the new owner to deal with. Sometimes the repairs are small-scale and other times they are major.
Often a foreclosed property in Mundare AB has sat uninhabited for some time so maintenance has been neglected and will need to be looked after immediately.
Sometimes, just because the title has changed to a new owner doesn't mean that all concerns have gone away. This is the significance of having a title search done well before buying a property because liens or lawsuits could be attached to the property and you could take over them without knowing it.
How to negotiate for bank owned homes.
Diligence is key here! The bank is in business to make money so they will be trying to get the highest possible price for the house that they can.
Dealing with banks is an automated process and usually handled by computer systems and not actual people. This can be annoying for you the buyer but it is what it is. At some point if you are persistent the bank will very likely cave if they have no other offers because they know they need to transfer the property quickly.
Are Mundare bank owned homes good or bad?
This depends upon your goals and the risk level that you are prepared to accept. If you agree to take on the prospective repairs yourself and not count on the bank to pay for them then this is a good deal!
Remember to do your due diligence on foreclosures and on your property before acquiring to know exactly what you are getting into.

Where can you find power of sale homes?
It is really easier than you think to discover power of sale houses. In Alberta, as in all of Canada, the usual procedure is to sell the residential or commercial property by power of sale, which is unlike most of the United States which has the tendency to go through the courts for a foreclosure. Generally, when a home is being offered through power of sale, it in fact goes through a realtor. That makes it easy to find homes under power of sale. A realtor, or other real estate sites, will likely have listings of power of sale homes in your location.
How do you buy a distress sale farms in Alberta?

In Alberta, there are two kinds of power for sale – contractual and statutory. A contractual power of sale is when the mortgage files have actually consisted of the power of sale stipulation. A statutory power of sale is when the power of sale stipulations is not included, however these are extremely unusual.
The general process includes:
Notice given to the customer after fifteen days of default
Notice provided to anybody who has an interest in the residential or commercial property
For contractual power of sales, the debtor has 35 days to pay, if statutory, the customer has 45 days
Once the duration ends and the default is not fixed, the lender can sell the home
The home can be offered by auction, personal agreement, or by tender. The property is typically listed with a realtor and placed on the market for sale utilizing numerous listing service (MLS).
The ownership of the property will change hands just if the residential or commercial property is sold. This is likewise not a fire sale, although it is quicker than a court process. The offers from the purchasers like you are thoroughly taken a look at, and the existing owner may ask for an accounting.
How do you find power of sale listings?

Korea Resources Corp. (KORES) announced on Aug. 12 that the tender for the sale of its stake in the Cobre Panama copper mine has been aborted due to unexpectedly low offers from bidders. KORES is pushing for a retender.
KORES held the tender on Aug. 8 to sell its 10 percent stake in the Cobre Panama copper mine, but the offers from Japanese, Chinese and Canadian bidders were much lower than the price the corporation determined based on third-party valuation.
The Cobre Panama copper mine project has attracted a total US$6.30 billion (7.70 trillion won) investment from overseas investors, the largest ever amount for Panama. The South Korean consortium consisting of KORES and LS-Nikko Copper bought a 20 percent interest in the project in 2012, and LS-Nikko Copper sold its 10 percent stake to First Quantum Minerals, the operator of the mine, in 2017.
After the Steering Committee of Public Institutions announced a plan in March last year to sell off overseas assets held by state-run resource development corporations, KORES has made preparations for the tender. However, experts worried that tender participants would offer low prices as the government scrambled to push ahead with the sales without considering profitability at that time, and those worries have become a reality.
Accordingly, industry insiders point out that the government should revise its policy to sell off overseas assets. KORES is planning to announce a retender within this month and expedite the sale procedure in accordance with the National Contract Law.
The Cobre Panama copper mine ranks 10th in the world in terms of output. Production at the mine has been rapidly stabilizing following trial production in February. It is expected to produce more than 400,000 tons of copper in 2023.

Daily Devotions

Current Study: First Peter
Today's Topic: Abstain From Lust
Scripture Reading: 1 Peter 2:11-12 Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
I will not be popular today. I will certainly not be politically correct. In fact, there will be those who may read this who will downright despise me. But that's the price of truth.
In today's Scripture reading, Peter urges those who are in Christ to live as strangers in the world. He declares two general principles – first, stay away from sinful desires; and second, live good lives. I want to address the first principle today.
The New International Version quoted above says that as followers of Christ and citizens of His eternal kingdom, we are to abstain from sinful desires. The King James Version calls it lust. Most of the time, when we hear or read the word lust, we relate it to sexual immorality. But it covers a much broader spectrum of desires that emanate from our sinful hearts. To lust is to desire anything forbidden. Unfortunately, in today's modern society, we have chosen to believe that nothing is really forbidden. If it feels good, it must be right. If it's available, then it must be okay. After all, who declared it forbidden anyway? It must have been Someone out of touch with who we really are.
My friends, we are in a serious predicament. It's not a new issue, but it is serious. God has been declared irrelevant, and man has been left to his own foolishness. This problem started way back in the beginning of time. The Apostle Paul reviewed the history of lust for us in Romans chapter one.
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them…For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened…Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Lust is destroying the human race. I came across this incredible word picture the other day from the pen of author Calvin Miller. It has really caused me to think.
Unbridled lust:
A cannibal committing suicide
By nibbling on himself.
Peter says that unbridled lust will war against your very soul. It will eat you alive. It will stop your spiritual growth and destroy your ministry effectiveness. Jesus reminded us of this truth in a parable he told about seed being sown by a farmer.
"The farmer sows the word. Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown."
The desires for other things – lust – will choke out the word of God and make us unfruitful. Let us determine today, and every day, to bridle the lust of the flesh. We must choose to abstain from all that is forbidden by the Word of God, no matter what the world of gods says. Do not let the world decide for you what is forbidden. God has already declared it. Let us stand on His Word, and be fruitful. The world may accuse us of doing wrong, but on the day Jesus returns, and they must face the truth they have denied, they will have to confess that He is Lord and give Him glory for how we lived.
Stand strong. Be faithful. The Lord your God is with you.
Pastor John

With regard to atmospheric pressure: it is true that much of the southern Martian highlands are well below the average surface pressure, but you don't need to go to very low regions like Valles Marineris or Hellas Planitia to experience pressures > 6 mbar. The Viking landers are situated in Chryse Planitia (V1) and Utopia Planitia (V2) in the planet's northern plains, and never recorded pressures much below 7 mbar (see below). The pressure oscillations are due to changes in season and distance from the Sun, while the offset between V1 and V2 is a 1.5 km elevation difference (V2 is lower).
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." - Albert Einstein
The minimum pressure under which a substance can exist as a liquid occurs at the substance's triple point.
The triple point http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripple_point
In the case of carbon dioxide, the triple point corresponds to a temperature of -56.6°C and a pressure of 5.1 atmospheres (518,000 Pa). Now, while Mars does get as cold as (or colder than) -56.6°C, the surface pressure on Mars (or on Earth, for that matter) certainly never reaches 5.1 atmospheres. Thus we can be absolutely certain that carbon dioxide cannot exist as a liquid on or anywhere near the surface on Mars.
In contrast, the triple point of water occurs at a mere 611.73 Pa (6.1173 millibars), a pressure that is frequently exceeded on the surface of Mars, in craters and other low-lying areas, according to measurements by Viking and other spacecraft.
But with the temperatures so low there is likely no liquid water just ice but a brine containing sample would have a lower freezing temperature.
http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/as … 0230.shtml
GW- In addition to what Spacenut and Midoshi said, Martian atmospheric pressure is a matter of definition as much as anything else. The Martian "sea level" or datum as it is apparently called, is defined to be the altitude where the pressure is, on average, 6.105 mb. Google has come out with "Google Mars," which is analogous to Google Earth. It's really cool, plus it has a topographic map built in to kind of give an idea as to what the pressure will be at a given location. You can find it Here.
PVAc dissolved in water is apparently a type of glue. I was thinking that we could put it in water, then let it dry out to form a film which could be put on top of things. If it were warmed before being placed over the icecrete it would bond quite nicely.
Wood glue such as Elmer's which is slow to dry, needs lots of air flow and warm temperatures....
I agree that it would not be particularly practical to use as a glue for things that are outside, but it can be allowed to dry inside and then placed on top of the icecrete. Since a film does not involve a large amount of polymer, we don't need much air or much heat.
My fear for using it on icecrete would be that exposed to humidity, this usually white glue is which is not waterproof, so while it can seal air, dust, dirt, etc as long as it's dry, it soon as it makes contact with any trace of water becomes wet, soft, & sticky once more....
Well, the big worry for icecrete isn't water per se so much as water vapor which will naturally sublimeaway unless somehow prevented from doing so. I don't know for sure but I wouldn't think that water vapor would have the same effect as liquid water. When placing the film on the ice we might see some mixing between it and the thin film of water just below it (I'm assuming that the film will be above freezing when placed on the icecrete), but the film should cool quickly and once it does it will be fused to the icecrete, which is desirable because it will make a strong seal. I don't think the film will be dissolved quickly.
I was reminded that Mars has another brick that could be made by Gyrpd
Spacenut one posibility for bricks is to use regolith and to artificially put a bit of Iron Oxide in the mix. (Actually Mars might not need to do this) and to superheat it in a solar furnace. This melts the Iron bonding the bricks and creating a solid structure depending on the mold. There is even ways you can do without mortar to join the bricks by magnetising the bricks into positive and negative ends.
So what is in Mars Soil...
So from the mix we would process the regolith to blend the mixture that we want the bricks to contain...
Then we would heat the mixture to form the brick...
http://www.lunarpedia.org/index.php?tit … d_Regolith
http://www.authorstream.com/Presentatio … owerpoint/
This process with the Iron Oxide would liberate some quantity of Oxygen as a by-product...

I'm still thinking about a coating for "icecrete" to prevent sublimation. If the local pressure is 6+ mbar, then a coating is not needed. But, if it is, then I am not sure PVA (polyvinyl acetate?) or any other organic plastic will be easily obtainable on Mars or the moon.
Re: Mars atmospheric pressure: I have my doubts as to northern lowland pressures really being 6-7 mbar per Viking 1 & 2. Why? Because the recent northern polar lander (Phoenix) saw ice that it exposed while digging sublimate, and fairly quickly. If the pressure really were 6+ mbar in the polar lowlands, that would not have happened. Basic physics.
So, I really think we need an anti-sublimation coating. I'd like the coating to be local materials, and I'd like to avoid the energy expenditure of melting local rock or dirt. This is going to be some sort of chemistry thing. If we find one, it would work at 0.00 mbar on the moon, too. "Icecrete" is a pretty nice thing to have, so the anti-sublimation coating for "icecrete" is really a very important item.
For reinforced "icecrete", any material with tensile strength would do for the rebar substitute. Basalt (or any other rock) fiber would do, braided into a coarse-textured rope. I dislike the energy expenditure of melting the rocks to do it, but it seems unavoidable, since no one has ever spotted an active volcano on Mars or the moon. Ideas?
Does anyone know the elastic modulus of a braided basalt-fiber rope? (It would not the same as the individual fibers, not by a long shot, no real composite material ever has the properties of the individual fibers.) If the rope's effective modulus is near that of steel (30 million psi = 207 MPa), such a rope might in some way be tensioned very hard, thus serving as the pre-stress member in a pre-stressed "icecrete" beam. Not worth dreaming up, if the modulus is too low, though.
Having pre-stressed beams available is nice for bridges and buildings. Good for resisting bending, such as in pressurized habitats. Very important.
GW Johnson
McGregor, Texas
"There is nothing as expensive as a dead crew, especially one dead from a bad management decision"
On the sublimation of ice at Phoenix:
It is not necessary for the atmospheric pressure to be below 6 mbar for water ice to sublimate. Ice sublimates on Earth frequently, and our atmospheric pressure is far higher than 6 mbar. The reason a condensed phase sublimates is because the partial pressure of its vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere is less than the vapor pressure just above the condensed phase. In other words the atmosphere at the Phoenix site only had to be dry for the ice to sublimate.
When the atmospheric pressure is less than the vapor pressure, (i.e. 6 mbar at 273K for water ice) the condensed phase can never be stable. Even if the local atmosphere is entirely displaced by the vapor phase it will remain "dry". In this case the high pressure vapor expands into the ambient atmosphere, causing more sublimation from the condense phase, followed by more expansion, until the condensed phase has been converted entirely to vapor.
This also means that having a +6 mbar atmosphere is necessary for ice stability only if your operating temperature is 273 K. At lower temperatures the vapor pressure of ice is reduced. For example, it is 1 mbar at 253 K, and only 0.04 mbar at 223 K. At each of these temperatures ice can be stable as long as the atmospheric pressure is above the corresponding vapor pressure and it is not too dry. Since Phoenix saw typical temperature highs of -30°C (243 K), that would mean the atmospheric pressure would have to have been a fraction of a millibar if the ice was destabilized by low atmospheric pressure.
I hope that this makes it clear that this is a matter of a dry atmosphere, not insufficient atmospheric pressure. I also hope it didn't come across as patronizing; I was aiming for pedagogy. This phase stability thing confused the heck out of me the first time I really thought about it in my graduate materials science course, so I know first hand how hard it can be to grasp.

Thanks, Midoshi. I had forgotten the distinction between the vapor pressure above the ice vs the "air" pressure above the ice. Had been thinking vacuum-only, as for spacesuit compression issues so long, I got stuck in that rut.
BTW, "hi". Long time no see, crash and all that.
So, since Mars's atmosphere is generally very dry, the water vapor pressure in that atmosphere would be pretty near zero, regardless of the atmospheric pressure. Summer temperatures in the equatorial regions will get close to the standard freezepoint (triple point), so we can't count on very-cold-ice vapor-pressure reduction. Yep, "icecrete" will need a tough sublimation coating. That material will not know Mars from the vacuum of the moon or space.
I was hoping for some sort of paint coating we could spray on and "cure" right in place on the dirty-but-not-wet cold ice surface. Maybe an evaporating solvent cure with linking residuals like some oil-based paints here on earth.
Hmmm, some sort of water-based latex paint might even work, if it could be kept from boiling before it dries.
Does any body have a bell jar and a vacuum pump? Two ice cubes, one painted at below-freezing conditions with latex house paint, the other not. Maybe three: try an oil-base hardware paint, too. (Maybe even Krylon clear sealer spray - ha ha.) Paints will take a long time to set-up in the kitchen freezer on a not-wet icecube surface, but that's what we need.
Here in central Texas it's never cold enough to do the painting successfully outside, although I have a couple of good freezers. Maybe somebody in snow country?

That is interesting for sure as experiments go but alas I do not have a vaccum chamber to do it. But in either case I believe we can How to Paint an Ice Rink just as long as the How to Clean Paint Booths With Dry Ice does not occur.
Then again we are doing the exact oposite when MIT Puts Chill on Anti-Icing Coatings

Well, following Spacenut's links, it appears that water-based paints can be applied to ice, at least here on Earth. Hmmmmm.
Maybe the experiment is really to see what happens to a bucket of (water-based) wet paint in vacuum. If there is no bubble formation, then we can paint poured "icecrete" structures once they are frozen, in vacuo.
The second test is to see if that coat of paint stops the sublimation.
If both tests are successful, then we have a way to create structurally-useful materials and construction parts on Mars, on the moon, or on any other celestial object that has both ice and regolith.
As to color, I'd suggest a highly-reflective white or aluminum pigment, to reduce the absorption of solar energy that could melt the ice. Or, just keep the stuff in the shade. The paint might have to be an imported item, but the paint on a pre-stressed "icecrete" beam weighs a lot less than the beam.

I posted an article with illustrations on "icecrete", over at http://exrocketman.blogspot.com, dated 3-11-12. There are still serious questions, but I was able to pose a list of credible experiments needing to be done. I am still very enthusiastic about such a material.

By the way thanks for the post on Your blog and that is how true open source ideas work. In fact I am going to post about this over on MarsDrive....

I replied to this the other day. I'm not sure what happened to my post. Anyway, I think from an economic perspective the value of water is will drive how often this technique is used. I am sure it will be great for building cool structures but question if it will be as strong a material for warmer structures. I bet it would be used a lot for cool tunnels between buildings because I think it would be much faster to work with then brick and labor will not doubt be a valuable resource on mars.
That's a really good point, actually, John: This material might find some very good use as a construction material for pressurized tunnels if it's simple enough to make. It will probably be in the form of an icecrete structure covered in regolith. IMO its a lot simpler to make a structure airtight and cover it with regolith than to make it airtight and make it able to withstand the pressure forces exerted on it. It is perhaps worth noting, though, that icecrete is not "free" in the sense that water on earth is "free," meaning that you just need to pump it into a receptacle. It does need to be melted from its solid component, which will require a minimum energy input of 334 kJ/kg. This is a lot less than a material like cast basalt (~1.25 MJ/kg), but still at least a little bit significant. I suppose it would be possible to use heat to cut ice blocks straight out of the frozen underground reserves, which the colony will certainly be sited very close to.
Yes, I think my post went missing as well as John's.
Anyway, this certainly needs investigating. The presentation on your site GW was v. interesting.
I have my doubts about using this as a construciton material for pressurised environments. HOwever, I can imagine some other uses e.g. a retaining wall used as a barrier to drifting sand, to keep a base area clear of dust. Also, it could be used to make flat roadways. Another use might be for unpressurised buildings.
Let's Go to Mars...Google on: Fast Track to Mars blogspot.com
Well, there would be nothing wrong with using it as a frame for a tunnel to get from one building to another, so long as the tunnel isn't heated, which there is really no reason to do. It wouldn't really be load bearing, as piles of regolith can mostly do that on their own. It would just help retain the pressure (Perhaps not even of oxygenated air, but just CO2, so that only a face-mask is needed?).
I think this is definitely a material with a lot of potential. Just, maybe not for roads At least, not without a layer of something else over it. I think that for a while simply clearing the roadway of rocks should be sufficient. I gather that, lacking liquid water, Mars is mostly flat.

I bet it still has a fair amount of strength at about 1/10th the compressive strength of concrete. I think the tunnels could be heated some. I think they should be kept around 0 degrees Celsius. That way one would avoid gettin too cold going from one building to another. It would also be a nice place to store vegetables. I don't think it would collapse if the tunnels were a little above zero. As long as the majority of the structural material is below zero. Perhaps some foam would help keep a better temperature differential.
Keep in mind you can build a tunnel out of wet sand, compressed dirt or simply a pile of stone rubble. Well, wet sand may not make a large enough tunnel for people, if most of the structure is held together by ice crystals then maybe the sand would be strong enough.
The structural question I suppose is the maximum radius the top of the roof could be at. If the material was layered with flat stones the friction force would be much greater and allow a much larger tunnel/vault radius. I think the biggest structural risk is thermal cycling. The melting and freezing of glaciers is enough to turn stone into dust.
I quite agree that the experiments need to be run: that high aggregate content eliminates, or at least reduces, the creep behavior of "icecrete". And, that high Young's modulus reinforcement does exactly the same thing. Does anybody have a specific contact at NASA, ESA, or JAXA for proposing such experiments as a small business initiative? I think I could actually run these experiments here on the farm.
As for melting problems, I suggest you do not use this material inside actual human habitations. Outside the heated environs, it would be fine for building construction. That is, assuming my contentions about creep limitations are true. There are few, if any, places on Mars, the moon, or the NEO's, that a shaded location at ambient pressure (or the lack thereof) would not be below 0 degrees C.
Assuming creep is not an issue, I see no reason that pre-stressed "icecrete" beams cannot be used in conjunction with "icecrete" slabs to form the pressure shell of a habitat. Burial under regolith is even better, but I see the freedom not to rely on burial, given a proper coating. The trick is to stay outside the insulation for the heated spaces, not necessarily the pressure shell! Those are two completely different issues.
For roads, scraping the rocks aside from the sand-like fine regolith might do, up to a point, but what happens when your vehicles start to fall in the 100,000 lb local weight class? And what happens when you have a wash to cross (don't kid yourself, these exist on Mars)? In either case, you need a tough substrate underlying your regolith-fines surface, and, you need a "real bridge" to cross the gulley. That's the same pre-stressed "icecrete" bridge beam technology, as the pre-stressed concrete bridge beam technology here on Earth.
Concrete in the sense of Portland cement-bonded aggregate and reinforcement structures, are going to be rare on Mars (or the moon, or the NEO's). Yet the substitution of ice for Portland cement, makes sense on all of these bodies, since rocks, regolith fines, and ice, are present on nearly all of them. And, temperatures in the shade are very cold.
Given the experiments regarding creep and anti-sublimation coatings, I think we're onto something here. This is every bit as important as the mechanical-counterpressure spacesuit idea, and that idea is absolutely critical!

For mechanical properties of frozen ice see the following link.
From figure 1 it looks like the strength goes up significantly with increased sand.
As a random though flour is good as absorbing water but would not doubt be to expensive on mars to use as bulk material.
GW- I would actually see a transition to railroads relatively quickly, probably before we have land transport capable of conveying that kind of mass. The vast majority on Mars will tend to be limited to a fairly small number of paths, meaning that railroads are a very effective way to reduce the costs associated with transportation on Mars. Based on what I see on Earth it looks like gravel is an acceptable substitute for concrete in forming a railroad foundation, though I don't actually know much about railroads so I could be wrong.
Given how cold Mars is, structures could probably be heated a bit and still not get anywhere near the melting point of water. I would imagine that -20 or -25 C would be more than acceptable as a structural temperature. I think that Icecrete will be a very common material, especially later on (Later on meaning colonies the size of a suburban town).
Railroads of one type or another would make very good sense for hauling large loads to specific destinations on Mars, just like they do here. It was rail that opened up the American west, not wagon roads. (Bit of history.)
Railroad construction as we know it here uses "gravel" as the roadbed, yes, but not the gravel you are thinking of (the rounded stuff we also use in concrete). It's an angular crushed stone, sieved to size. There's layers of this stuff in different sizes, capped by the half-inch stuff you typically see. The cross-ties are embedded in this stuff, those being (here on Earth) timbers almost a foot square in section.
Some railroads have used concrete ties (the high-speed 150 mph+ ones), but timbers are far cheaper and more cost-effective here on Earth, even considering periodic replacement for ordinary freight at ordinary speeds. (And don't kid yourself about speeds, I've seen freights moving 60-80 mph right here in Texas. All it takes is well-maintained track to make that safe.)
The rails are spiked to the ties with "nails" that are about 10 inches long, and about an inch thick steel, not round, either. These days, rails are welded, and about 6 or 7 inches tall. That's to hold the steady upward growth in railcar weights I've seen the last several years. I've seen hopper cars labeled as 245,000 lb loaded going by at crossings. A lot of these are using aluminum in their structure now, as evidenced by unloaded weights creeping down from around 62,000 lb to about 41,000 lb.
Not sure what a railroad might look like on Mars, given that steel will not be generally available for a long time after the first bases are established, except as an expensive import. Could be a guideway-modified roadway with pneumatic tires at first, although the rolling friction with that is orders of magnitude higher than steel wheel on steel rail. I'm afraid maglev will always be too expensive for routine freight, even here. It's just hard to beat that low-friction rail transport, even after 3 centuries.
The power source for the locomotive needs some serious thought, since the only "fuel" I know of that burns with carbon dioxide is magnesium. Nuclear? Electric? There's several possibilities. The electric train with a central power plant supply might make the most sense.

|Project website: ONTOGRID
|Principal Investigator: Manolis Koubarakis
|Duration: 01/09/2004 - 31/08/2007
The objective of Ontogrid (http://www.ontogrid.eu/) was to support the vision of the Semantic Grid (http://www.semantigrid.org/) by developing technological infrastructure to build metadata-aware middleware and applications, together with guidelines for an adequate use of such enriched applications. The aim is to allow businesses and people to share information, services and computing resources, automating tasks and supporting the rapid formation of virtual organizations which can solve a specific problem and disband just as easily once a solution is found.
In the context of Ontogrid NKUA developed the system Atlas ( http://atlas.di.uoa.gr/). Atlas offers scalable, fault-tolerant and adaptive storage and querying facilities for RDF(S) data. Atlas is built on top of the distributed hash table Bamboo, and works in an open, distributed, dynamic network of nodes. Atlas inherits the desirable features of Bamboo (openness, scalability, fault-tolerance, resistance to high churn rates) and extends Bamboo's protocols for storing and querying RDF(S) data. Nodes can enter RDF(S) data into the network and pose RQL queries. Two kinds of querying functionality are supported by Atlas: one-time querying and continuous querying (also known as publish-subscribe). Each time a node poses a one-time query, the network nodes cooperate to find RDF(S) data that form the answer to the query. In a continuous querying scenario, a node can subscribe with a continuous query. A continuous query is indexed somewhere in the network and each time matching RDF(S) data is published, nodes cooperate to notify the subscriber.

Who Oversees Internal Medicine House Staff Procedures? Hospitalist Inexperience and Discomfort with Procedure Supervision in an Academic Medical Center
1UCSF Medical Center, San Francisco, CA
2UCSF Medical Center, San Francisco, CA
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2010, April 8-11, Washington, D.C.
Abstract number: 135
Despite the removal of most internal medicine (IM) residency procedure requirements, residents at all levels continue to perform bedside procedures. Hospitalists may find themselves responsible for oversight of inpatient procedures performed by their residents. Little is known about hospitalist experience and maintenance of procedure skills in this role. Our goal was to determine academic hospitalist self‐reported procedure experience and comfort in the supervision of invasive bedside procedures and to identify who residents report as their supervisors for procedures.
A crass‐sectional, 10‐question e‐mail survey was distributed to 30 academic hospitalists at our institution who rotate on the general medicine wards asking questions about frequency of performing and supervising procedures and comfort with these procedures on a 4‐point Likert scale. A cross‐sectional email survey was also distributed to 167 IM residents at our institution asking who their supervisors are for procedures. Procedures evaluated included: central lines, thoracentesJs, paracentesis, lumbar puncture, arthrocentesis, and ultrasound for bedside procedures.
The response rate was 18 academic hospitalists (60%) and 99 medicine residenIs (63%). The majority of hospitalists reported no direct supervision of house staff performing procedures, and the majority also feel uncomfortable performing central lines, thoracentesis, and ultrasound guidance for procedures (see Table 1). More than half of hospitalists had not personally performed central lines, thoracentesis, paracentesis, lumbar puncture or ultrasound guidance for a procedure in the last 2 years. Most residents had performed fewer than 5 of each procedure at the end of the PGY‐1 year but had performed at least 10 of nearly every procedure by the end of their R3 year. Only 8 residents (8%) reported receiving attending supervision for any procedures compared to 98 (97%) who reported peer supervision. A significant number of residents (40%) reported supervising a procedure prior to feeling comfortable with the procedure themselves.
Despite changes in residency procedure requirements, residents continue to face situations in which they perform bedside invasive procedures, most often with peer supervision. Although they are considered responsible for the supervision of their house staff in the care of medical patients, hospita list faculty at our academic institution do not often perform procedures themselves, and many feel uncomfortable supervising house staff for procedures. Given the apparent limitations of hospitalists to safely supervise procedures, solutions such as formal procedure curricula, simulation, and dedicated faculty for procedure supervision may help to ensure improved procedure education and supervision in the academic hospital.

Lady Justice Wears a Blindfold for a Reason
I haven't watched the George Zimmerman trial.
I, like most folks, have been following the trial via reporting from multiple media sources and from all slants. One common theme coming from reporters and pundits alike points to a very real possibility of violence should the verdict of not guilty be handed down by the jury.
After the OJ Simpson trial this kind of reaction to high profile, racially charged, court cases comes as no surprise, but that doesn't take away from the sad reality that we live in a time where a sizable portion of the American public is not interested in the model our justice system was based upon. Too many people see vigilante justice as the way to go. The more interesting and ironic side to Zimmerman trial is that those who would have you believe they are the most compassionate, tolerant, and fair among us are the ones crying the loudest for this vigilante style partiality.
The side that will not accept any verdict but a guilty verdict. The side that has been inciting and threatening violence since the day after Treyvon Martin was killed. The side that wanted to hang George Zimmerman before any due process was provided or a day in court set. That side is the side of the liberal left.
Democrats, liberals, and progressives, in the public, media, and even governmental office, have attempted to label Zimmerman as White, conservative, and racist. I have yet to see any hard evidence of any of those claims. In fact, the evidence on Zimmerman's race and ideology were put to bed when his voter registration stated Hispanic and Democrat. A local news report in Sanford, Florida confirmed Zimmerman as a self-described Democrat. Racist? NO pattern of such behavior has been shown that I am aware of.
The irony here is that those from the conservative or federalist viewpoint are defending one minority's constitutional rights from another minority's lynch mob mentality. The latter of which, the GOP freed from slavery 150 years ago. An interesting, but telling aside, is that zero democrats voted for the 14th Amendment back then. Today, there's no major outcry of support for Zimmerman's constitutional rights from the left. Let that fully sink in. Contrastingly, there has been no outcry, threat, or appeal for violence coming from the right if Zimmerman is in fact found guilty.
It's as if things haven't changed at all in 150 years within the Democrats' ranks.
Here's my point: true conservatives are so passionate about American liberty, they will staunchly defend the constitutional rights of those who don't share their political ideology and they do it en masse. They believe that Due Process is greater than tyranny and lynch mobs. The behavior coming from the left is a stark example of just the opposite.
Not much has changed in the last 150 years.
