Everyone talks about scent bringing back memories but this week it was a painting that triggered my recollection of a Guerlain classic. I've started renovating part of my house and this included taking out a built-in wardrobe. It was a typical nineties "Changing Rooms" style construction built of four-by-four and MDF, but what was hidden behind it really took me back. The wall was decorated with painted dolphins, so obviously it used to be a child's room, and straight away I started to think about Petit Guerlain, which was released in 1994. So, let's go back twenty two years and rediscover Guerlain's innocence.
When Petit Guerlain was launched the public were unaware that it would be the last fragrance solely controlled by the family firm. By the end of that year LVMH would have a majority share in the company and, ignoring Un Air de Samsara, there would be no new fragrance for two years. The Guerlain family finally sold their remaining stake to LVMH in 1996 and the new company's opening release was Champs-Elysées by Olivier Cresp. This first fragrance was unfortunately not very well received, especially when it became known that they had chosen Cresp's submission over Jean-Paul Guerlain's.
When Jean-Paul came up with the idea for Petit Guerlain in 1992, a fragrance for children, he enlisted the help of Olivia Giacobetti. By this point it had already been noticed that she was able to translate simple and fresh scents into engaging perfumes, and that was exactly what would be needed for Petit Guerlain. Olivia's career has soared since that partnership, and it is clear that Jean-Paul's faith was well placed. What was needed was a scent that would appeal to children, also the "young at heart", and without a shadow of doubt that is exactly what they achieved.
From the first spray you are immediately hit by a wonderfully soapy quality which seems to shout "bath time", and for me it's the combination of chamomile and violet leaf which gives that impression of innocence. You do have lavender in there as well but it's so carefully proportioned that it doesn't intrude. The citrus notes are given plenty of space to breathe but it's the bergamot which gives Petit Guerlain its edge, stopping it becoming yet another talcum powder outing. The floral heart of this fragrance is provided by mimosa, jasmine and rose, along with a delicate support from Guerlain's tonka bean. It's interesting that as the tonka starts to come through you do get a little powder, but just a slight dusting.
It was released as an Eau de Toilette using 30% alcohol and packaged as "dermatologically tested", but unfortunately it wouldn't be given the chance the grow to adulthood. In 2014 LVMH released another fragrance called Petit Guerlain, but this was created by Thierry Wasser and was not related in any way to the original. Bottles of Jean-Paul's version occasionally come up on auction sites and I would definitely recommend that you try to get your hands on a little bit of Guerlain's lost innocence.

The Familiar Folks You Meet at Zippy's
Growing old over the decades: Alone, with loved ones, with the friends who outlast the loved ones.
(page 1 of 3)
This story originally ran in the September 2015 issue of HONOLULU Magazine with the title "Folks You Meet at Zippy's."
Photos: Elyse Butler Mallams
I dream of growing old at Zippy's. I used to think I would grow old there with my husband, in the same booth every day and eating the same thing every day: saimin and grilled cornbread for me, a chili-chicken mix plate for him, with three scoops rice, no mac salad. Even though women tend to outlive men, I believed that, somehow, on his diet of meat and rice, he would live longer. We would sit across from each other and eat, not talk—after half a century of being married, we would have already said all that needed to be said. Now, when I think about it, that would never have happened—that silence. The man I knew to be my husband will never run out of things to say. Even if it's just to say that Zippy's fried chicken is better than Popeyes' when it's fresh out of the fryer.
We divorced recently. So now my vision of an older me at Zippy's is unclear. Will I be alone with a book? Will I be with another man? A second husband, or, hell, maybe even a third, one who does eat in silence? Or will I be there with girlfriends, longtime ones who have outlasted all the men in my life?
I can't know the future. But I wanted to know what it might look like. So I started dropping into Zippy's and meeting the seniors—the regulars, the ones the servers know by name, when they arrive, where they sit, what they eat, how long they've been coming.
And then a funny thing happened. The servers started to get to know me, started to know when I would arrive and what I would order. Growing old at Zippy's isn't a far-off dream. It's already happening.
The Crochet Ladies
"You been watching that fabulous neighbor? His legs are so long. I like that."
I like that, even in her 80s, a woman can still appreciate a set of fine legs. Even if they belong to a Korean drama actor on TV and not the actual neighbor. (I mean, honestly, who's more likely to have hotter legs anyway?)
The crochet ladies gather at Zippy's Koko Marina every Tuesday from 9 to 11 a.m. There are about 15 of them, ranging in age from the 60s to 80s—it's hard to nail down the exact ages because, apparently, no matter how old we are, we still hate to see our ages in print.
Amy Kajiwara started the club almost 20 years ago when she worked at Ben Franklin's Koko Marina and taught crochet. When that crafts store closed, one of the women asked Zippy's if they could meet there. Zippy's told them: "Yes, come, the more people who come, the better for business." (This may be part of the reason Koko Marina ranks as one of the top "senior stores," locations with the most senior customers. The big four are Koko Marina, Kāhala, McCully and Makiki.)
They arrive with bags stuffed with yarn and ribbons and patterns. Around this time of year, they start planning the Zippy's Christmas decorations. If you visited Zippy's Koko Marina last Christmas, you might have noticed the crochet Santa Claus, the afghan with the Zippy's logo and the Mele Kalikimaka decking the halls.
The "crochet ladies" at zippy's koko marina in 2006.
Over coffee and malassadas, the women admire each other's crochet projects—Misa Hironaga places a lei she just finished around my neck, Dolores de Lima is just starting a baby blanket, Amy Kajiwara drinks out of a bottle swaddled in a crochet warmer.
Conversations spin off into remedies for some of old age's ailments: Turmeric is good, but expensive, and when Ellen Yamanaka asked a Whole Foods employee for black cherry juice he told her, "If it's for dementia or Alzheimer's, then save your money, it doesn't work."
If there's one lesson, though, it's not about herbal treatments. It's that a long life is an accumulation of near misses. Yesterday, Ellen had gone to Kāhala Mall to shop, but a passerby spilled coffee on her shirt. So, instead of shopping, she returned home to change. There, she found her sister, who had fallen and couldn't call for help. Ellen had come home just in time to take her to the hospital.
"So lucky," Ellen says. So lucky, the crochet ladies agree.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Veteran Bassmaster pro Terry Baksay spent the workweek breaking in his son's newly purchased bass boat on Oneida Lake. It was site of Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Northern Open #2.
Just 60 miles away the son was wishing he could be fishing for a couple of reasons. The first was obvious. He wanted to try out the used boat purchased on eBay after months of online shopping.
Otherwise, the original plan was competing as a co-angler in the tournament. He'd already signed up but cancelled at the last minute.
Calling in sick was not an option to fish or even test-drive the boat.
U.S. Army Sgt. Christopher Baksay is assigned to the 725th Explosive Ordnance Detonating Company. At Fort Drum in nearby Watertown, Baksay was on call for deployment during tournament week. That is typical for a solider whose special skills can be needed at the moment's notice.
Stateside duty means responding to assist and supervise detonation of explosives such as bombs in public places. Overseas, it can be in combat while detonating an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan. Baksay has been there and done just that on active duty deployment.
Like many hardcore bass anglers, his mind is on fishing when not focused on work. Credit mom for unknowingly bringing home that interest. Give kudos to dad for nurturing a sport the son loves when away from work.
Marcia Baksay is a state social worker in Connecticut. Once upon a time children in foster care were regular weekend guests. A six-year-old kid named Christopher was one of them. His visits eventually became permanent. That was in 1997 when the Baksays adopted him.
"He took a liking to fishing right after we adopted him," noted Terry. "He acquired that interest on his own, even though he did grow up around my career."
Part of that career included supporting youth programs associated with the B.A.S.S. Nation. In Christopher's early years that was Bassmaster CastingKids and the Junior Bassmaster program. Terry Baksay volunteered countless hours to support them during Christopher's boyhood.
Like many children of tournament pros, Christopher traveled with has father during summer break to events. A tournament at Lake Champlain was among them.
"Bass fishing was relatively new around there and we didn't have much volunteer help," recalled Chris Bowes, B.A.S.S. tournament manager. "He was barely a teenager at the time and stepped up and just did everything for us."
Christopher joined a junior club and his bass fishing skills blossomed to championship potential. He was a perennial winner in the youth ranks of the Connecticut B.A.S.S. Nation.
"He lost one tournament in eight years of youth fishing in the state of Connecticut," said Terry. "We spent a lot of time fishing together and it meant a great deal to me."
That included trips as a teen to the Bassmaster Junior World Championship. It was held in equal reverence to the kids as the Bassmaster Classic.
A career as a professional bass angler was ahead for the taking. Christopher had a different plan. He joined the Army at the age of 18.
"I've always wanted to serve my country and I'm proud that I actually could do it," he said. "I put fishing on the back burner, but what's so exciting about being stationed here is that I can actually get back into it."
The location of Fort Drum is a convenient coincidence to Christopher's off-duty pastime. He planned it that way.
"I definitely wanted to be assigned here because of all the great smallmouth fisheries," he said. "I've got access to all the great places."
Baksay experienced what's ahead at Oneida Lake. His scheduled allowed an unplanned but welcomed visit to the weigh-in.
He smiled and reeled off the list of prime spots where the new used boat will see hours of fishing. Oneida, Ontario and Champlain came to mind. So did fishing the Northern Open tour next season.
What came to mind next was his father approaching in a boat that he'd never before seen. Now comes the unfinished business of trying out the new rig.
He'll do that over the weekend, now that dad is finished breaking in the boat.

Hotel rooms- your home away from home and little slice of space just for you.
If you're a full-time flyer then you may spend between 60-100 nights a year in a hotel room, depending on the type of trip you fly. If you have seven two-days trips each month then that ends up being around 84 nights at a hotel each year. If you only do five three-day Europe trips then you'll start at the 60 mark. That's before you pick up a single trip, and everyone starting out picks up at least one extra trip a month. So roughly a fourth of your year/life will be spent in hotel rooms. Learn to love them.
The airlines have promised you certain things when it comes to accommodation on the job. You're not supposed to be on the bottom floor for safety reasons. The hotel should have food available 24/7, or at least very near food. You're always given the option of a non-smoking room, which however, may be a floor that allows smoking. Those rooms are annoying, like the smoke knows to stop at your door and not go in. That's about it as far as the hotel's responsibility to you. As long as the hotel meets those criterium then they're an option for the Hotel Board to decide on. The range of hotels in staggering. For the most part it's an inverse relationship. The nicer the country, the more meager the hotel. The shittier the country, the more luxurious the hotel. London is a closet. Port Au Prince is a palace.
You'll find that some of your crew members are way too particular when they request their room. It's ridiculous and it's embarrassing. I feel so sorry for anyone that has to deal with pilots and flight attendants, mostly van drivers and hotel staff. You must really be a masochist to voluntarily put up with that hell. I don't feel as bad for airport security, we give them a hard time but they usually deserve it. Some crew members don't want to be on a floor too high up because there's no water pressure. The low floors have too much street noise. The rooms near ice machines and elevators are too noisy. The rooms near the microwave room are also too noisy. In fact they don't want to even be on the floor that has the microwave because it all smells like weird food, especially if Asian airlines stay at the hotel. It's like they have a particular room in mind and won't quit until they get it. Airline people get a little too comfortable and start taking things for granted. It's the unbearable lightness of being.
Even though all rooms are different you'll try to keep a basic set-up and routine. We crave structure and are all creatures of habit. You'll keep your suitcase in same place in every single room. Some people utilize the closet and the drawers. I don't bother with the drawers, it's just too much work to unpack and then repack a few hours later. It's easier living out of the suitcase. When we get in we all set up the bathroom how we want it. We have the toiletries laid out just so and our uniform hung neatly in the closet. Some people have a cleaning ritual that includes putting on their own sheets and pillowcases brought from home. The hotel sheets get washed so I'm ok with those but the comforters or duvets are ignored so those are pretty nasty and my naked body will never touch them.
Ignorance really is bliss. Don't think too deeply on what may or may not be in your room or look too closely to the refilled body wash/shampoo bottles. At least the little bottle of mouthwash is factory sealed. Ignore that undercover news report you saw online about how the glasses get cleaned in hotel rooms, sometimes with the same rag that was just used to wipe off the toilet. Never look under the bed! Some people use the shower cap as a condom for the remote control and phone receiver. To test for bed bugs put the bar soap on the bed and check back with it later. Apparently bed bugs head right for that. I'm not sure if that's true, it may be one of those tricks you use to fool yourself into thinking everything is just fine. One of my favorite layover games is to check for the one maid hair that's found in every shower. It's like playing Where's Waldo. It may take you half an hour but that hair is always in there somewhere, sometimes on the ceiling. A word to the wise, some people use the coffee makers to clean their panty hose. Gross. I sometimes use it to reheat food or warm a can of soup. I've also found that if your room has one of those fancy pant-pressers you can use that to make a pseudo grilled cheese sandwich.
You'll do all your dirty stuff in a hotel room, the messy things you don't want to do at home, like dying your hair or having period sex. I used to try to keep the room as clean as possible, as a favor to the maid. I try to be a team player. I put a liner in the trash can which I'm sure helps a lot. I tried to leave the room cleaner than I found it but then I heard that rooms left like that don't really get cleaned that well by the maids. Now I'll trash their room on purpose just so it HAS to be cleaned.
You usually get a little fridge in your room but if you're staying somewhere cold you can use the ledge outside the window as a fridge extension. It really frees up some space, especially if your fridge is crammed full of useless minibar items that cost way too much. In some places, like Caracas, you can sometimes get free porn if you clip your ID to the cable going into the TV. Most hotels are onto that one because some idiot flight attendant left his ID behind when he checked out and then had to call the hotel for someone to get it. How do you explain why your ID is clipped to the back of a TV unless something is up? Every now and then your porn channel will come in unscrambled. If that happens then watch it for as long as you can because once you turn the channel, it's gone forever. If you turn back then it'll be scrambled again and the free porn will be nothing but a distant memory. Some hotels have secret hiding places that crew members will use to leave goodies for each other. The Los Angeles Bonaventure was famous for that. The hotel is circular and the far wall of the hotel rooms is curved, the one made entirely of windows. Because the ceiling doesn't exactly fit flush to the curved wall, there are little gaps where you can reach up if you stand on the desk. People leave all sorts of things up there: porn, minis of liquor, wine, People magazine.
You'll find that spending so much time in hotels will eliminate certain chores you have to do at home, like shopping for toilet paper, shampoo, hand lotion, towels, and shower curtains. If you tell the maid that your significant other LOVES the way you smell in their lotion, she likely to hook you up with dozens of bottles. Score!
The worst feeling is checking out of the hotel and realizing you left food in the fridge (or on the ledge outside the window.) That precious food has probably been all around the world with you and you were so looking forward to having that on the flight back home. You might need to leave a post-it note on the door to remind yourself.
So make your room your own and learn to love living out of a suitcase. It may be one of the few things you really have control over when you're on the job. Try to see a layover as a much-needed break from reality rather than being stuck away from all that are near and dear to you.

How Adele Stafford's Elegant Textiles Inspired Two Essential Summer Recipes
Stafford's pieces can be used as table runners or transformed into placemats or kitchen towels.
All week, F&W is introducing artisans who inspired the outstanding summer recipes from our August issue.
"My relationship to the land and to the farmers is the fuel for my work," says weaver Adele Stafford of Oakland, California's Voices of Industry. Her newest textiles, her first for the table, use cotton from northern California's organic Viriditas Farm, where the soil is fertilized by a flock of merino sheep and enriched by heirloom Sonora wheat crops. Designed as diptychs and triptychs, her pieces can be used as table runners or transformed into placemats or kitchen towels by separating the panels at the fringe that connects them to one another. Says Stafford: "My runners come to life in the kitchen when cut apart, which I'm really pushing. I'm eager to see what happens as they make their way out into the world." From $385; voicesofindustry.com.
Recipe Inspiration:
Pappardelle with Summer Squash and Arugula-Walnut Pesto
This recipe is a fantastic showcase for superfresh summer squash. F&W's Kay Chun cuts zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise into long, thin ribbons on a mandoline and then tosses them with the hot pasta so they just barely cook. She created the dish after admiring the beautiful table linens by textile artist Adele Stafford of Voices of Industry. "The way the runner naturally gathers into loose folds looks to me like thin sheets of pasta," Kay says.
Riesling-Poached Peaches with Tarragon and Salted Sour Cream
These peaches—poached with the skin on to give them a rosy blush—echo the delicate hue of textile artist Adele Stafford's table runners. "Plus," says Justin Chapple, "there is a small, leaflike design in one of the runners that looks like herbs, and this gave me the idea to add tarragon."

Naprosyn therapy for arthritis: 5 facts you need to know to treat chronic pain
Pain management, in the modern days, has evolved into a whole industry comprising of variety of medications and therapies. Chronic pain is no more a curse on the sufferer as it can be reduced or eliminated by many drugs and over the counter remedies. Arthritis, a disease that is synonymous with pain, is a common ailment among Americans. The disorder can cause moderate to acute pain, which can upset the daily routine of patients.
Naprosyn for arthritis pain: Naprosyn is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used to treat certain types of arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis etc. The drug is highly effective in treatment of pain since its approval by the FDA in 1994. The drug, now available over the counter, is available as enteric-coated tablet, extended-release tablet and liquid suspension to be taken orally. The drug relieves arthritis patients of inflammation, stiffness and pain. Things you need to know: Naprosyn is hugely popular among arthritis patients. If you or a loved one is inflicted with arthritis, Naprosyn maybe of help. However, it is better for you to consult your doctor because Naprosyn can be detrimental if taken without medical advice. Here are a few things you need to know about Naprosyn:
1. How does Naprosyn work? Naprosyn, a COX1 and COX2 inhibitor, slows down the production of prostaglandins and relieves one of pain and swelling. The drug dissolves in the protein structures of tissues and metabolizes in the liver. This is why anyone having liver disorders is advised not to use the drug.
2. Types of Naprosyn: The drug can be brought in a pure form or as a mixture of drugs like Naprelan, Proxen, Anaprox, Naprogesic, Miranax, Synflex and Aleve. Before taking the drug as a mixture, you need to get help from your pharmacist. The drug, together as a mixture, is used to treat other conditions like tendinitis, bursitis, gout and even menstrual cramps.
3. Risks of Naprosyn: There are situations when Naprosyn can be life-threatening. The drug can cause drug and circulation problems, including heart attack and stroke. If you have had a heart attack or bypass surgery or coronary artery bypass graft, you need to be cautious while using Naprosyn. Better if you avoid taking Naprosyn.
4. Naprosyn side effects: Naprosyn can cause side effects like heart circulation problems, chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, blurred speech, vision problems and balance. The drug can also affect the stomach, the intestines and the liver (since it metabolizes in the liver). Adults have serious side effects related to gastrointestinal problems.
5. Drug interactions: Certain drugs like Aspirin, ACE inhibitors, blood-thinning medications, lithium, methotrexate etc. should not be taken with Naprosyn. Some of the common side effects associated with the drug include, mild heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, skin itching, pain, dizziness, headache and bloating.
PLEASE NOTE : OnlinePharmacyForum.Com recommends personal consultation with a doctor. The dangers in buying medications online include the online drugstore selling counterfeit, expired or contaminated medications to you. Sometimes the drugs that you receive may have been prepared by unethical means or using unusual substances. This is why you should buy drugs from a licensed and FDA-approved pharmacy; after consulting with a doctor and getting a valid prescription.

A white label product is a product or service produced by one company (the manufacturer or producer) that other companies (the marketers) rebrand to make it appear as if they had made it.
Such private label manufactures offer marketers control over product factor such as designs, production, pricing, size and distribution. This allows the marketer to do quick adjustment to products based on customer's changing expectations from the product.
Sometimes rather than out licensing the patents, patent owner companies choose to get the patented product contract manufactured.
Some of the key points Signicent consider while finding appropriate list of white label manufactures include:
- Ability to export to geographies of choice
- Meeting the standards and regulatory check points
- Product range
- Production capacity and timeline
- Verification of information from government websites
- Details of key people
- Making contact with key people
- Other parameters deemed necessary depending on the case in hand

Staying a night or two (or longer) in an ancient, largely depopulated but glorious Italian hill town is not for everyone, but for those who like the idea of passing a couple of quiet days walking, reading, eating (really well) and drinking in the sublime surroundings, it can be bliss. If you can forgo a minibar, room service, a gym and much in the way of entertainment, read on for two excellent places to visit.
Civita di Bagnoregio
In Civita di Bagnoregio, one is essentially an overnight prisoner in an exquisite tiny town, because once you've walked up the long and steep footbridge to enter (no cars allowed), you're unlikely to trek back down until you're ready to leave. Fortunately, there are accommodations worthy of being trapped inside. The Italian psychiatrist, author and television personality Paolo Crepet runs a small hotel called Corte della Maesta in the old bishop's house and former seminary, the rooms of which provide places for his prolific antique collections. (He fell in love with the town about 25 years ago, when a depressed patient showed him the place that cheered her up.) His wife Cristiana is a charming, elfin woman who gives the inn its warmth, and its delicious pastries and tarts, which are served outdoors in their Edenic garden. They have a cozy sitting room in a cave and a pet hedgehog; in other words, this is a very personal place.
For dinner, the food at Alma Civita, run by locals who have moved back to the town, is as good and seasonal a meal as one could hope to eat anywhere. For lunch, L'Arco del Gusto makes pizza in one of the town's medieval communal ovens that the townspeople used to share.
Santo Stefano di Sessanio
Full of magic and pathos, Santo Stefano di Sessanio is a place of heartbreaking beauty both within the town and across its rich and varied natural surroundings. The buildings in this hamlet feel as organic as they do handmade, with few straight lines or right angles, as if they evolved over centuries like some kind of architectural fossil washed by the vicissitudes of time and the elements. Today, the devastating effects of the earthquake of 2009 are still visible, with makeshift wood scaffolding propping up arches and a metal skeleton where the old church tower stood before it crumbled — and yet the place's mystery and allure is still deeply powerful.
A scattered hotel, or albergo diffuso, called Sextantio, created by the visionary philanthropist Daniele Kihlgren, with rooms in historic buildings dotted throughout the town, is designed in a style perhaps best described as "poor luxury." With great regard for the historical integrity of the buildings' original materials and construction techniques, age and patina are not hidden or renovated, but drawn out, and the simplicity of the way the rooms were used is highlighted. Windows are small, but afford magnificent views of farmland and mountains all the more cherishable for being like tiny kaleidoscopic jewels amid expanses of otherwise unadorned plaster walls.
The mattresses are handmade, the blankets handwoven, the benches handcarved and the ceramic cups and pitcher handbuilt, but the tubs and sink are minimalist modern by Philippe Starck, offering a rusticity that is appealing to those used to comfort. (The couple checking in before me had just come from a famous seaside resort and were aghast at the "basic" nature of the accommodations and lack of typical luxury amenities.) Sextantio has two really good restaurants serving medieval recipes (!), and a tea and handicraft shop with locally produced jams, honeys, soaps, as well as wicker baskets, pottery and glassware and wool and linen textiles made on their on-site antique loom. Often there are artisans at work in the shop, and courses (which can be arranged in English) in weaving, bread making, baking, and soap making are offered.
The town itself is nestled into the national park Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga and surrounded by several kinds of landscape, from lush agricultural fields to the great plateau of Campo Imperatore, to majestic Appenine mountains offering everything from skiing and wolf trekking, to horseback riding and canoeing, to hiking and biking. There are also some lovely shops, galleries, restaurants and other B&Bs in Santo Stefano.
If there are movements devoted to slow food and slow flowers and slow living, why not add slow travel into the mix?

French photographer Benoit Pallé enjoys exploring the theme of the Stranger. This project, spotted on the excellent It's Nice That (a glorious soubriquet for a cultural web colander if ever I saw one), sees him wandering the beaches of Mexico allowing tourists to capture themselves, photo-booth style. They are fab.

Boosting Nutrition in Your Slow Cooker Recipes with Wheat Germ
The slow cooker makes easy work for meal prep. Once you've added all your recipe ingredients to the slow cooker, you can usually leave it unattended for hours. For those not so skilled in the kitchen, there's less chance of burning foods with a slow cooker because it cooks at a low temperature. You can also save some money when slow cooking by buying less expensive cuts of meat, such as pork shoulder, which work well here because the long cooking time acts as a tenderizer.
To boost nutrition in your favorite slow cooker recipes, try incorporating Kretschmer Wheat Germ. Sprinkling in two tablespoons adds just 50 calories, plus you'll increase the dish's protein, vitamin E, folic acid, magnesium, thiamin, phosphorous and zinc. Wheat germ has no sodium and it contains heart-healthy polyunsaturated fat. Here's how to add it to your favorite slow cooker dishes:
1. Coat meat with wheat germ. When making beef stew like our Slow Cooker Beef Stew with Wheat Germ, it's best to brown the meat before putting it in the slow cooker. Coating the meat with wheat germ and flour before browning gives it a rich flavor and helps brown the meat. You can also mix wheat germ into meatballs before cooking them in the slow cooker, like in this Zesty Meatballs recipes.
2. Mix wheat germ into the sauce. This not only ups the nutrient density but adds flavor and texture. You can add a couple tablespoons of wheat germ in at the beginning of cook time, or mix it into the sauce just before serving. Try it in both meat-based and vegetarian dishes, like this Spicy Chickpea and Spinach Curry recipe.
3. Use it as a garnish. Because of wheat germ's nutty flavor, it pairs nicely with desserts, especially a brown rice pudding made in the slow cooker. Sprinkle it on top to garnish the pudding along with some raisins or other dried fruit, fresh mango and your favorite nuts.
How do you use your slow cooker to create delicious dinners?

DNS Migration
From MicroFocusInternationalWiki
Revision as of 11:11, 8 May 2007 by Lfbernardo (Talk | contribs) (→Migrating a DNS Service from NetWare to Linux)
Migrating a DNS Service from NetWare to Linux
Being reasonably new to Linux myself I decided to simplify the DNS migration steps supplied by Novell for those administrators embarking on the migration of services from NetWare to Linux. This process was tested migrating the DNS from a Netware 6.5 server to a SLES 9 SP3 server. The process should work in exactly the same way if you're migrating to SLES 10 or OES 1 (Linux).
Install the DNS server
- Start YaST with the command yast.
- Select Software -> Install and Remove Software. Press enter.
- Begin a search in YaST by pressing alt+s.
- Search for the package named bind.
- Select the bind package using the space bar, ensuring that it shows a + next to the package.
- Accept the installation of the package by pressing alt+a.
- YaST will prompt you for your installation CD, and initiate the copy and install process.
Setup the zones on the destination server
- If YaST isn't already open, start it with the command yast.
- Select Network Services -> DNS Server. Press enter.
- Move the cursor six down to DNS zones.
- Tab to zone name field.
- Type in the name of the zone you need to create, select the type, then press alt+a to add the zone.
- The above step needs to be repeated for all the zones which you will be migrating to this server.
- When you have completed adding the zones, press alt+f to finish the setup.
Migrate the zone data
- Each DNS server has a copy of the zone files in SYS:\ETC\DNS. The zone files have the file extension ".db". Be aware of whether your NetWare server is setup as a 'master' / 'primary' or 'slave' / 'secondary'.
- Copy the zone files for the master zones you wish to migrate from your source NetWare server to /var/lib/named/master on your destination server.
- Copy the zone files for the slave zones from your source NetWare server to /var/lib/named/slave on your destination server.
- Remove the .db extension from each file. Assuming the zone is example.com, you can use the command mv example.com.db example.com.
Starting the service
- Start the DNS Server through the command rcnamed start.
- Check that the service has started with the command chkconfig named. The command should display named on.
Starting the service at boot
If you require the service to start at boot time the following commands will ensure that this happens for the correct run levels.
- Connect via SSH
- type "chkconfig -l named", this will return a response similar to "named 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off". In this case the service will start at boot for runlevels 3 & 5 which is correct for most systems.
- If the above step displayed off for all the runlevels you can add it to the correct runlevels by typing "chkconfig -a named", this will automatically add the service to the correct runlevels. You can verify this step by using "chkconfig -l named" again.
- If however you wish the service not to start at boot you can type "chkconfig -d named" which will remove automatic startup from all runlevels.

In a dramatic departure from past assertions that only the United
States is working to "militarize" space, General Secretary Gorbachev
acknowledged on 30 November 1987 that the USSR is involved in strategic
defense research. He stated, "The Soviet Union is doing all that the
United States is doing, and I guess we are engaged in research, basic
research, which relates to these aspects which are covered by the SDI
of the United States." But the Soviet effort into all aspects of
strategic defense has been consistently far more vigorous than that of
the United States.
The Soviets maintain the world's only operational ABM system, and a
nearly completed construction program begun during the 1980s will yield
an expanded and upgraded system comprising a two-layer defense of 100
launchers. When fully operational around 1989, the system will defend
selected leadership and strategic facilities in the Moscow area.
new Moscow ABM system includes two interceptor missiles: a long-range
modified GALOSH ABM that is intended to engage ballistic missile
reentry vehicles(RVs) outside the atmosphere; and the GAZELLE, a
shorter range, high-acceleration missile that, like the now-defunct US
SPRINT system, is designed to engage RVs after they have reentered the
Earth's atmosphere. New, hardened silos have been constructed for the
new interceptor missiles. The modified GALOSH and GAZELLE are expected
to become operational in 1988 or 1989.
A large multifunction phased-array radar nearing completion at
Pushkino is also an integral part of the new Moscow ABM system. The
radar, which has 360-degree coverage, will provide support for the new
interceptor systems. It is expected to reach full operational
capability around 1989.
In the aggregate, the Soviet Union's ABM and ABM related actions
suggest that the USSR may be preparing an ABM defense of its national
territory. These actions include radar construction, concurrent
testing, SAM upgrade, ABM rapid reload, ABM mobility, and deployment of
ABM components to Gomel.
Soviets began building a large phased-array radar (LPAR) network in the
1970s, and since 1981 the number of LPARs under construction has more
than doubled. There are now nine LPARs in varying stages of completion,
forming a nearly complete ring of ballistic missile detection coverage
for the Soviet landmass. They duplicate and augment coverage provided
by the older HEN HOUSE ballistic missile early warning radars, but also
could provide the detailed detection and tracking data which would be
required for a nationwide ABM system. Since these radars take a long
time to construct, the entire network probably would not be operational
until the mid-199Os.
Soviets have deployed and tested components required for an ABM system
that could be deployed to a site in months rather than years. Recent
Soviet activities with respect to moving a FLAT TWIN ABM radar and a
PAWN SHOP van, both components of an ABM system, from a test range and
initiating deployment at a location outside an ABM deployment area or
ABM test range, constitute a violation of the ABM Treaty. Moreover, the
SA-10/SAM system already in the air defense forces may have the
potential to intercept some types of ballistic missiles, as may the
SA-X-12B/GIANT when it is deployed.
of the principal concerns regarding Soviet noncompliance with the ABM
Treaty is the Krasnoyarsk radar, which is in clear violation of the
treaty. The only permitted functions for an LPAR with Krasnoyarsk's
location and orientation would be space-tracking and National Technical
Means (NTM) of verification. Conclusive evidence suggests, however,
that this radar is primarily designed for ballistic missile detection
and tracking, not for space-tracking and NTM as the Soviets claim.
Moreover, the coverage of the Krasnoyarsk radar closes a major gap in
the coverage of the Soviet ballistic missile detection, warning, and
tracking screen. The location of the Krasnoyarsk radar allows it to
provide warning of a ballistic missile attack, to acquire attack
characterization data that will enable the Soviet strategic forces to
respond in a timely manner, and to aid in the battle management of
Soviet strategic defensive forces. All LPARs, including the Krasnoyarsk
radar, have the inherent capability to track large numbers of objects
accurately. Thus, they not only could perform as ballistic missile
detection, warning, and tracking radars, but also have an inherent
technical potential, depending on location and orientation, of
contributing to ABM battle management. A US Congressional delegation
visited the Krasnoyarsk LPAR facility on 5 September 1987 and was
allowed to view selected areas of both the transmitter and receiver
facilities. No information derived from this visit, however, changed
the assessment that the radar is designed for ballistic missile
detection and tracking.
Since the 1960s, the Soviets have been conducting a substantial research program to develop a defense
against ballistic missiles. As noted by General Secretary Gorbachev, this effort covers many of the same
technologies currently being explored by the US SDI.
The Soviet effort, however, involves a much greater
investment of plant space, capital, and manpower.
For example, the Soviet laser research program, with ballistic missile
defense applicability, has historically been much larger than its US
counterpart. At Sary Shagan, one of a half-dozen major R&D
facilities involved in laser research, the Soviets are believed to be
developing several lasers for strategic applications such as air
defense or a terminal ABM, and at least one laser believed capable of
an antisatellite mission.
Moscow hopes that its huge investment to design and build high-energy
lasers will provide it with laser systems for strategic air defense,
space-based antisatellite missions and, conceivably, defense against
ballistic missiles. The first prototype systems, some with limited
operational capability, might be seen before the end of the decade, but
except for air defense, full-scale, fully operational defensive systems
are not expected until the late 1990s at the earliest.
In some areas of ballistic missile defense-related technology, the USSR
has progressed beyond technology research. It has ground-based lasers
with some capability to attack US satellites, and it could have a
space-based antisatellite laser prototype within the next several
years. The Soviets also could have ground-based laser prototypes for
ballistic missile defense in the early 1990s, and they could begin
testing a limited-scale deployment system in the late 1990s.
Moscow is exploring several other advanced technologies for use in
ballistic missile defense. Since the late 1960s, for instance, the
Soviets have explored the use of particle beam and kinetic energy
weapons for antisatellite (ASAT) and ballistic missile defense
missions. Although the Soviets may be able to test a prototype particle
beam ASAT weapon in the mid-to-late 1990's, operational systems that
could destroy satellites or incoming ballistic missiles will not exist
until the 21st century.
Long-range, space-based kinetic energy weapons for defense against
ballistic missiles probably could not be developed until at least the
mid-199Os. The Soviets could, however, deploy a short-range,
space-based system for space station defense or close-in attack by a
maneuvering satellite in the near future.
The USSR has also conducted research in the use of radio-frequency
weapons to interfere with or destroy the electronic components of
ballistic missile warheads or satellites. A ground-based version of
such a weapon could be tested in the 1990s. Free-electron lasers, which
generate intense microwave and millimeter-wave pulses, have been
developed by the Soviets, possibly for use in radio-frequency weapons.
The Soviet passive defense program is a comprehensive system of
measures designed to inhibit the effects of a nuclear attack on the
Soviet Union. The main objectives of the passive defense program in
effect today are: ensuring the survival and continuity of the Soviet
leadership; planning for efficient wartime mobilization of manpower and
the economy; protecting the industrial base and essential workers; and
providing a credible reconstitution capability. Integral to the Soviet
passive defense program are thousands of hardened facilities.
Deep Underground Facilities
For 40 years, the Soviet Union has had a vast program underway to
ensure the survival of the leadership in the event of nuclear war. This
multifaceted program has involved the construction of deep underground
bunkers, tunnels, secret subway lines, and other facilities beneath
Moscow, other major Soviet cities, and the sites of major military
commands. This program is designed solely to protect the senior Soviet
leadership from the effects of nuclear war. These deep underground
facilities today are, in some cases, hundreds of meters deep and can
accommodate thousands of people. As nuclear arsenals on both sides have
become larger and more potent, these facilities have been expanded and
have reached greater depths.
Neither changes in the Soviets' leadership nor the restructuring of the
strategic balance and the refinements in military doctrine that
accompanied these changes appear to have diminished their commitment to
the program. Over the program's history, its purpose has remained
unchanged leadership survival so that it can maintain internal control
and ensure that Soviet military power can be centrally directed
throughout all phases of a world war. The secrecy of the program and
the uncertainty about the extent and nature of these facilities are
major causes for concern.
The deep underground program, which rivals Soviet offensive strategic
weapons programs both in scale and level of commitment, remained
undiminished even as the Soviets agreed to limit their defenses against
ballistic missiles in the ABM Treaty. Indeed, a major augmentation of
the original activities was started about the time the ABM Treaty was
being concluded. Yet another round of construction on these complexes
began in the early 1980s, when Soviet leaders were publicly emphasizing
that a nuclear war would be so catastrophic that attempts to achieve
victory or even seriously limit damage in such a war no longer made
sense. The latest round of construction coincided with intensified
Soviet preparations for the possibility that a nuclear war could be
deep underground facilities beneath the city of Moscow are directly
associated with the main centers of state power. They provide the
leaders of the various organs of state control the opportunity to move
from their peacetime offices through concealed entry ways down to
protective quarters below the city, in some cases,hundreds of meters
down. Once there, the Politburo, the Central Committee, the Ministry of
Defense, the KGB, and the apparatuses of the many other state
ministries can remain sheltered while the USSR converts to a wartime
posture. The fruits of this 40-year construction program now offer the
Soviet wartime leadership the option of remaining beneath Moscow or, at
some point, boarding secret subway lines connecting these deep
underground facilities. From there the Soviets can make their way to
nearby underground complexes outside Moscow where they plan to survive
nuclear strikes and to direct the war effort. The support
infrastructure for these facilities is substantial. A highly redundant
communications system, consisting of both on-site and remote elements,
supports these complexes and permits the leadership to send orders and
receive reports through the wartime management structure.
installations also have highly effective life support systems capable
of protecting their occupants against chemical and biological attack.
Such arrangements may enable independent operations to be carried out
from these facilities for many months. The top leadership of the USSR
also has the option of going by secret subway lines out to Vnukovo
Airfield, about 17 miles southwest of the Kremlin, and from there
flying to remote facilities. They also have a fleet of aircraft,
trains, and other vehicles that provide yet another option for
survival; these platforms have extensive communications support, which
would permit the surviving leadership to reconstitute Soviet military
power for ensuing military operations. While Soviet preparations for
leadership protection are most intensive around Moscow because of its
critical role in wartime management, there are similar programs in
other key cities. Moreover, Soviet planning calls for the leadership's
evacuation from several hundred additional cities to rural relocation
The Soviets also use worked-out mines to increase the number of
relocation facilities. These old mines have the added advantage of
reducing the cost of the passive defense program since the excavation
costs have already been recovered. The mines would also provide
concealed storage sites for military stores and equipment, expanded
storage capacity for the strategic stocks reserve network, and improved
continuity of economic activity in wartime. By using these old
mines,the Soviets can expand the already large number of underground
facilities available for leadership protection quickly and
The Soviets' experience with civil defense, leadership protection, and
massive relocation efforts during World War II has taught them the
benefits of a leadership protection program. While continuing
improvements indicate the program does not yet fully meet Soviet
requirements, the Soviets have made extensive preparations to give the
leadership the potential for effective performance in a nuclear war.
The enormous and continuing Soviet investments in the leadership
protection program indicate that they believe its benefits are well
worth the large cost. Unceasing efforts in strategic offensive forces
and active defensive forces modernization, when coupled with efforts to
protect the leadership, clearly indicate that the USSR expects to
exercise national command and control through all phases of protracted
nuclear war.
The continuing evolution of Soviet military space doctrine, the
increasing number of military-related launches, and the high priority
given to development of space-related strategic offensive and defensive
systems reflect the Soviet determination to use space primarily for
military purposes. The long-term Soviet commitment to space was
reaffirmed by General Secretary Gorbachev in May 1987 when he declared,
"We do not intend to relax our efforts and lose our vanguard position
in the conquest of space."
The Soviets currently operate about 50 types of space systems for
military and civilian uses, including manned space stations (MIR and
the inactive SALYUT 7), and reconnaissance, launch-detection,
navigational, meteorological, and communications satellites. Some types
of satellites - the Soviet space station, the materials processing
satellite, the radar ocean reconnaissance satellite (RORSAT), the
electronic intelligence(ELINT) ocean reconnaissance satellite (EORSAT),
and the radar-carrying oceanographic satellite are unique to the
USSR conducts approximately 100 space launches annually from its three
"cosmodromes." One of these, Tyuratam, is the world's largest. To
maintain their impressive launch rate, the Soviets have about 20 launch
pads and use eight operational types of boosters to launch their
payloads. A ninth booster, the SL-X-17, is in development and testing.
Their high launch rate allows the Soviets to maintain an increasing
number of active satellites in orbit up from about 120 in 1982 to about
150 in 1987. At least 90 percent of the Soviet satellites in orbit have
military purpose and can support offensive or defensive operations.
the Soviets steadfastly maintain they have no military space program,
about 150 of the approximately 200 operational Soviet satellites
projected to be in orbit by the mid-199Os will most likely have purely
military missions such as ocean reconnaissance and targeting,
electronic intelligence, imagery reconnaissance, and communications.
Another 40 will probably support joint military-civilian functions,
including communications, navigation, and weather data. The
approximately 10 remaining satellites are likely to conduct
interplanetary probes and other scientific missions. The lifetimes and
survivability of Soviet satellites are expected to increase during the
next 10 years because of more sophisticated technology and the
placement of satellites at higher altitudes.
The Soviets continue developing and deploying space systems designed to
support military operations on Earth. They now have a fully operational
network dedicated to warning them of an ICBM attack, and they operate
several types of space-based reconnaissance systems. Two of these, the
RORSAT and EORSAT, can be used to locate naval forces. Moreover, the
Soviets practice their detection and targeting techniques, routinely
launching these satellites to monitor both their own and NATO naval
continues to expand its sophisticated satellite reconnaissance program.
Several planned improvements such as a data-relay satellite system
could improve the timeliness of Soviet intelligence. Demonstrations of
flexibility and versatility in launching and deploying surveillance
systems have continued, and the Soviets are capable of redirecting them
for worldwide missions as required. Meanwhile, their satellite imagery
reconnaissance capability has been refined, and space-based electronic
intelligence is being upgraded.
While the Soviets are expected to maintain their current
launch-detection satellite network, they are probably working on a
space-based surveillance system to detect the launch of US SLBMs, as
well as European and Chinese missile launches. Although the USSR's
land-based ballistic missile defense radar network permits detection of
in flight SLBMs, a space-based geosynchronous launch-detection
satellite system could increase warning time significantly. The Soviets
will probably have the technical capability to deploy such a satellite
system within the next several yearn
The Soviets continue deploying their space-based global navigation
satellite system known as GLONASS. This system will probably provide
highly accurate positioning data for military and civilian users by
1992. GLONASS is similar to the US NAVSTAR Global Positioning System
(GPS). In fact, the Soviets used digital signal-processing data from
GPS documents to develop GLONASS. GLONASS is being placed in a GPS-like
orbit. Based on the 9 to 12 satellites announced for the system,
GLONASS would have a worldwide, two-dimensional navigation capability.
If the Soviets want GLONASS to provide worldwide, three-dimensional
navigation upgrades, they would have to orbit 18 to 24 satellites.
The Soviets have continued developing and deploying radar-carrying
satellite systems. Designed for mapping ice formations in polar
regions, these satellites can greatly enhance the Soviet Navy's ability
to operate in icebound areas by facilitating navigation of northern sea
routes and assisting in such activities as routing naval ships from
construction yards in the western USSR to new ports in the Pacific.
In July 1987, the Soviets orbited a very large, new
type satellite using their PROTON booster rocket. According to the
Soviets, COSMOS-1870 has an Earth-resources, remote-sensing mission,
which reportedly includes experiments related to hydrology,
cartography, geology, agriculture, and the environment. It uses an on
board radar unit to gather data. Since no scientific data attributed to
this spacecraft has even been discussed or publicly acknowledged to
date, a strong military affiliation cannot be ruled out.
Soviet manned space program occupies a unique position in Moscow's
space efforts. It is heavily publicized to promote the perception of
the peaceful nature and technological superiority of the USSR's space
program. Nonetheless, the Soviets have made a strong commitment to
using their manned space program to accelerate their drive to achieve
military superiority in space. For the Soviets, having a man in space
provides unique observation, experimentation, execution,and command
functions which the US frequently uses remote systems to perform.
Soviet literature indicates that the military applications of remote
sensing, oceanography, meteorology, and geodesy have been the focus of
repeated cosmonaut investigations. Even civil investigations such as
astronomical observations, also performed by cosmonauts, have military
uses. The USSR may be using such investigations to develop techniques
useful for maintaining the orientation of certain equipment to an
accuracy of a few arc-seconds, a capability needed to aim directed
energy weapons.
The ability to rendezvous and link up with uncooperative spacecraft,
which Soviet cosmonauts demonstrated in 1985 and 1986, also has
military applications. Cosmonauts use equipment such as a laser range
finder, a night-vision device, and an optical sensor while performing
this type of operation. The Soviets state that this rendezvous
procedure will allow the rescue of cosmonauts stranded in orbit, but it
could also be useful both for repairing friendly satellites and for
inspecting and disabling enemy satellites.
A crucial cosmonaut activity is Earth observation, which has
applications for reconnaissance and targeting. The Soviets report that
their cosmonauts have used visual observations, cameras, spectrometers,
and multispectral electro-optical sensors in their observations from
the SALYUT and MIR space stations. These experiments suggest the
Soviets are evaluating their ability to locate, identify, and track
targets from outer space. Developing this ability could be the first
step toward designing a space weapons platform for use against targets
in space and on Earth. Such a platform may eventually be used for ASAT
and ballistic missile defense operations, as well as for space station
In 1986, the USSR launched a new-generation space station MIR to
replace the aging SALYUT-7. MIR is an impressive advancement over
SALYUT-7, having enhanced solar energy and electrical power systems,
greater computer capabilities, and individual"cabins" for crew members.
Most significantly, while SALYUT-7 had only two docking ports, MIR has
With the launch of MIR, a space station module, and regular crew
rotations with the SOYUZ-TM capsule, the Soviets have probably begun
their permanent manned presence in space. The crew launched in February
had a partial crew change in July 1987, and the remaining cosmonaut,
Colonel Yuri Romanenko, was relieved in December 1987 after setting two
space endurance records. In the early-to-mid 1990s, the Soviets should
be able to construct a very large modular space station. They have
discussed housing up to 100 cosmonauts in such a space complex.
In addition to space programs which could be construed as having both
military and civilian applications, the Soviets have space systems that
are purely military in nature. Indicative of the Soviet military
program for space is their development and maintenance of the world's
only currently operational ASAT system, a ground-based orbital
interceptor. Using a radar sensor and a pellet-type warhead, the
interceptor can attack all current low-altitude satellites. A target
engagement during the first orbit of the intercept leaves little time
for a target satellite to take evasive action. The interceptor can
reach targets orbiting at an altitude of more than 5,000 kilometers,
but it is probably intended for high-priority satellites at lower
The ASAT interceptor is launched from Tyuratamon on SL-11 launch
vehicles. Two launch pads, storage space for many interceptors, and the
launch vehicles are available at the Tyuratam facility. Several
interceptors could be launched each day from each of the pads.
Given the complexity of launch, target tracking, and radar-guided
intercept, the Soviet ASAT system is far from primitive. Soviet ASAT
tests have been largely successful, providing them with an operational
system fully capable of performing its mission. Although the Soviets
have not launched their ASAT system in several years, in an effort to
forestall US development of an ASAT weapon, they have maintained their
ASAT readiness. Over the past several years,the Soviets have routinely
launched the SL-11 ASAT booster with other payloads, thereby ensuring
the reliability of this system component. Other components can be
tested on the ground without actually having to launch the ASAT system
itself. The nuclear-armed GALOSH ABM also has an inherent ASAT
capability against low-altitude satellites. The Soviet Union also has
ground-based lasers with some capability to irradiate US satellites.
Soviet space program's success is due largely to its versatile and
reliable inventory of space launch vehicles (SLVs) and its space launch
and support facilities. The Soviets send a satellite aloft every three
or four days, using one of eight types of operational SLVs. The USSR's
impressive ability to launch various spacecraft quickly gives the
Soviets a distinct operational military advantage in any crisis. Most
malfunctioning satellites could be rapidly replaced, and additional
satellites could be launched to cover new or expanding areas in a
crisis. In fact, if all deployed Soviet satellites were destroyed, the
Soviets have sufficient standby lift capability to replace them within
two to three months, provided reserve satellites were available.
with their current launch capability, the Sovietsare expanding their
extensive family of SLVs with new expendable launch vehicles and
reusable manned spacecraft. The deployment of the medium-lift Titan
IIIC-Class SL-16 and the heavy-lift Saturn V-Class SL-X-17 will
increase the payload weight of satellites the Soviets will be able to
On 15 May 1987, the Soviets conducted the first flight test of the
SL-X-17, which they designated "Energiya"(Energy). They openly
announced that "military experts took part in creating and testing" the
new launch vehicle. The Soviets reported that "Energiya's" first stage
(the strap-on boosters) and the second stage (the core vehicle)
operated as planned. They also stated that an attempt was made to orbit
a satellite during this test. The satellite mockup engines apparently
did not function properly and the satellite splashed down in the
Pacific Ocean. The failure of the payload, however, was not due to
problems with the booster, which performed as intended.
SL-X-17 heavy-lift vehicle will be used to launch the Soviet space
shuttle orbiter as one of its payloads. Launch-pad compatibility
testing of an orbiter attached to the SL-X-17 vehicle may already have
taken place, and it appears that a test flight will occur soon. By
using US propulsion, computer, materials, and airframe
technology and designs, the Soviets were able to produce an orbiter
years earlier, and at far less cost, than if they had depended solely
on their own technology and engineering.
of a heavy-lift launch system with its main engines on the core vehicle
rather than the orbiter gives the system the versatility to launch
either an orbiter or other very heavy payloads. The SL-X17, for
example, will be able to place payloads of over 100,000 kilograms into
low-Earth orbit, a figure comparable to that carried by the
discontinued US Saturn V rocket. Potential payloads for the SL-X-17
include modules for a large space station, components for manned and
unmanned interplanetary missions, and perhaps directed-energy ASAT and
ballistic missile defense weapons and other space-based components of
the Soviet strategic defense program.
SL-16 booster is capable of placing a payload of more than 15,000
kilograms into low-Earth orbit. This capability filled a gap in the
Soviet SLV inventory by providing an economical means of launching
medium weight payloads. One candidate payload for the SL-16 could be a
space plane, a subscale version of which has been flight-tested in
orbit; a full-scale test version is possibly in production. A small,
manned spacecraft could be used for quick-reaction, real-time
reconnaissance missions, satellite repairs and maintenance, crew
transport, space station defense, satellite inspection and, if
necessary, satellite destruction.
The introduction of the SL-16 and SL-X-17, coupled with an expected
greater use of the SL-12 and SL-13SLVs, will increase substantially the
payloads the Soviets will be capable of launching into space. In fact,
during the next five years, the Soviets are expected to double the
annual payload weight launched into orbit, and quadruple that weight
within 15 years.
the INF Treaty marks an important step in reducing the threat of
nuclear war, the residual
Soviet nuclear arsenal will still contain some 1,400 ICBMs, nearly
1,000 SLBMs, and a large number of cruise missiles, short-range
ballistic missiles, and tactical missile and artillery systems.
Even if a strategic arms reduction treaty is concluded and ratified,
the Soviets can be expected to continue to improve their strategic
nuclear weapons, especially for accuracy, mobility, and survivability.
Their short-range ballistic missile force, which is expected to grow
steadily, will remain a potentially devastating strike force. Continued
Soviet development of a new class of cruise missiles with greater
accuracy than currently deployed ballistic missiles will enhance the
deep-strike capability of theater bombers and increase bomber
survivability by providing a standoff capability. Furthermore, the
Soviets show no sign of abandoning any aspect of their strategic
defense program, despite its approximate $20 billion per year cost.

With the 2010 Olympics fast approaching here in Vancouver, I began to wonder what effects the games will have on our watershed, what with over 500,000 people estimated to come for the event, alongside 6700 games participants, and 10,000 media correspondents, this makes for very large strain on our water system.
Is Vancouver's Watershed Prepared for the Olympic Strain?
I stumbled upon a post over at watercrunch, that outlines all the efforts China has undertaken to prepare them for the Bejiing Olympics. Here is a list of some of the initiatives the world superpower is undertaking. For a complete list check it out here.
- China is building 14 new wastewater treatment facilities, with the goal of increasing waste water treatment to 90 percent in both the city center and surrounding towns.
- China had a goal to increase sufficient water treatment for tap water from 42 percent in 2001 to 70 percent in Beijing. The tap water goal has been scaled back to focus only on the Olympic Village, postponing potable tap water for the whole city until after 2008.
- The national stadium drinking water project will use pretreatment and reverse osmosis to provide over 500 gallons per minute of drinking water (~500,000 bottles of water per day).
- A rainwater recycling project at the national stadium will recycle rainwater using underground pools and water will be re-used for landscaping, fire-fighting, and cleaning ( Capacity is about 80 tons per hour). This is a first for China.
- Qinghe Water Reuse Project—the largest municipal wastewater membrane reuse project in China—will supply water for the Olympic lake, landscaping, and non-drinking water applications in the Olympic Village.
- More than 150 million cubic meters (39.6 billion gallons) of water are being diverted from the Yellow River through a network of canals stretching across three provinces to refill a lake south of the historically drought-stricken Chinese capital.
As you can see, this is no small undertaking, and it is clearly going to take a huge toll on China's already drought-strained resources. My question, as a local Vancouverite, is how much impact are the Olympics going to have on our water supply and what are the long term effects?
I am in the process of discovering this information and I will post more once I find out. In any event, it will be interesting to watch the success or failure of China's water system will be on showcase when millions tune in for the event in 56 days.
