My work is about simplicity of design and shape, bringing these in relationship to the surface. I am inspired by the elemental colour and shape of ancient Korean pottery. What I love about ceramic is that it starts of as a soft lump and can become pretty much anything you want it to be. After the firing it is hard and durable and can survive centuries. But at the same time it's fragile and can be broken into pieces in a moment. I aim to create timeless vessels for the contemporary interior.
Each piece is individually made from porcelain on the potter's wheel. Naïve, spontaneous pencil strokes drawing graphic simple patterns that create movement and direction. Every line is drawn by hand which makes the work preserve the moment of making. The imperfection of the patterns make it lively, ruff and immediate and unique, still holding an order or direction to bind them together. The Narrative to my work is coming from little snippets of observation in my environment. Lines are jumping out on me in almost anything – stripes on cloth, wires and cables, plants and grasses, architecture and streets just to name a few.

Top Ten Ways Walmart Fails On Sustainability
Since launching its sustainability program in 2005, Walmart has tried to position itself as a leader on corporate environmental responsibility. In frequent press announcements and annual "Global Responsibility" reports, Walmart touts its activities on renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, waste reduction, and product improvements.
While Walmart's sustainability campaign has done wonders for its public image, it has done little for the environment. In fact, Walmart's environmental impact has only grown over the last seven years. Its business practices remain highly polluting, while its relentless expansion and consolidation of the market have come at the expense of more sustainable enterprises and systems of production and distribution. This report details the top 10 ways Walmart is failing on sustainability.

Two women, worlds apart. Lena Vanelslander, writing from Ghent, Belgium and Marilyn Campiz, a writer from the United States and teaching in South Korea, come together in a fury of words spanning a whole of three weeks and birthing 139 pages of wonder titled "Quills of Fire."
Spinning off of themes such as Jealousy, Letting Go, and simply X, these two writers trade poems, often times as in a waltz, other times a bloody duel. The authors' voices are distinct yet complimentary throughout this book. "Quills of Fire" does not read like a collection of poems. Nor does it read like a compilation. A tale as engaging as any novel, this book propels you by uplifting yet grounded poems such as Rimbaud to Miller to Me by Campiz and Vanelslander's poetry such as Life is overrated, penned with a subtly voiced sarcastic tone and of language well layered.
The execution of Lena Vanelslander and Marilyn Campiz's abilities to approach a subject and trade poems off of each others progressing expressions is well done. "Quills of Fire" is a treat.

Chris Wilder dedicated Saturday's three points to the fans.
Back in the Championship after six seasons in England's third tier, Billy Sharp's first-half header proved to be enough to overcome a talented Brentford outfit at Bramall Lane and the Blades boss says it's a moment the fans have deserved.
He remarked: "I'm delighted and its reward for our supporters really. It's not about me, the coaching staff or the players, this one is for the fans, for the passion, the love and enthusiasm they've shown throughout the last six years.
"You've got to be a special bred to be involved with this football club and what they've had to do over the last six years has been pretty tough, so it's a big thank for their effort and what an atmosphere
"It was absolutely bouncing and something very special. The players didn't do bad either I suppose!"
Wilder added: "We had a goalkeeper who has made a few vital saves, we've run about a bit, hit the post, created chances and had two goals disallowed, but that's us.
"We work hard, we leave everything out there, we were a little bit loose in possession and we didn't overload like we usually do, but we're stepping up a level against excellent opposition and we can be pleased with gaining a valuable three points."

The market for poets is of course not the same as the market for poetry, and a recent NY Times article looks at how poets fit into academia, as professors of poetry: Poets, Academia: A Couplet in Conflict.
The article discusses the notion that poets might be expected to be more drunken and seductive than, say, critics. But in other respects, the intersection of poetry and academia is a lot like in many other fields, in which scholars not only do scholarship, but teach.
That being said, the balance between scholarship and teaching, like the balance between discovery and stewardship, and between the ivory tower and the open marketplace, is quite different in different disciplines. But, in each discipline, the various roles that universities play in our society involve finding such balances.
I can't tell how much the non-academic market for poets and poetry has been changed since the endowment in 2003 of the Poetry Foundation (what rhymes with a hundred million dollars?). But here's a 2006 article in the Globe: Poets, Inc., which notes about Poetry magazine that "The magazine's efforts to engage a broader audience seem to be working. When Wiman took over Poetry in October 2003, the magazine's circulation was 11,000. Today it stands at roughly 29,000."
One thing to admire about the poetry biz is that there's a technical term for a bad poet: poetaster (rhymes with "do it faster").
(Contest: what should be the equivalent word for a bad economist? Econo... misser? ...messer?)

Seasons Change but Some Things Stay the Same
When you live in a place like Charleston, where tank tops and beach days last all the way through December, every day can feel like a summer vacation. Somewhere in between the sunscreen and sandcastles, I blinked and suddenly we're halfway through 2017. This time last year I was cooped up indoors with our new baby. And now here I am this summer with a wild little toddler. Seasons change and life moves along. And as I think about how fast time is moving, I'm reminded that my clock is ticking. Not just the little clock on my Apple watch but my 35 year old maternal clock.
Our journey towards getting pregnant with Liam was long and at times seemed hopeless. My dreams of wanting a big family started to diminish and I instead had begun to settle on: If I could just have one baby that would be fine. When you are trying to get pregnant, everything revolves around timing. You become obsessed over time. Long days which turned into two very long weeks, waiting for a + sign to appear on a stick. And then nothing. And then more waiting two more long weeks to ovulate so you can try it again. And around and around it goes. When something is so dependent on timing, ironically time moves by very slowly.
So here we are again trying for baby No. 2. Trying to get pregnant for the second time seems like the same old song and dance. Some things never change: Ovulation sticks, fertility smoothies and hormone injections. But this time seems so difference. The anxiety, hopelessness, and fear are all gone. Before Liam, we felt like we were just waiting: waiting to be parents and never knowing if we ever would. But now that he is here, a weight has been lifted. Adding another baby would just be the icing on the cake of a beautiful little family that we already have. We beat infertility once, maybe it will happen again. Maybe it won't. But if this curly haired kid has taught me anything, it's that there's not enough time in the day to feel sad, to be anxious, or to feel sorry for yourself. Those days are in the past.
The days may be long, but the years go by so fast. I am going to enjoy these days with my little family and not worry about the future. Because there is no where better to be than in the present.

Lives in lakefront home in remote B.C. wildfire country
"Wise Elder" by Len Butcher
The Art: in Sheryl's own words:
This oil painting by Len Butcher is about 30+ years old, the Toronto artist an old acquaintance of my youngest brother. I am not sure if he is still living, but our family made his acquaintance many years ago when he married my brother's elementary school teacher. I always liked the painting. After my father passed away, I reclaimed it from my parents' home basement, brought it back to B.C. with me, and had it mounted and framed to complement my antique oak dining furniture. Since marrying, my husband has also claimed it as his favourite, and we enjoy it daily as it is positioned, suspended above our current dining space, above our lakefront window.
The painting reminds us of a posture of humble gratitude to God for our daily sustenance. No matter how simple it may seem to us during times of our life when what we possess represents a categorical contrast to the things that are often proclaimed as the necessities for living. This wise elder signifies one who takes time to sit down and carefully prepare his bread and butter, and to ground himself in the living bread which comes from the Divine.
This is the view from Sheryl's remote 'café' – her own dining room where she has the painting hanging. She and her husband of 8 years are reminded of their blessings especially during their Friday afternoon coffee dates.

This interview was done on Skype, though I wish I had actually visited the 'Lakefront café'.

Global Trust in Sustainable Agriculture is the Next big opportunity – Rabobank
Post available in: English
The biggest value creation opportunity for those in the agricultural sector is to be seen as a globally trusted source of sustainably produced products, says a new Rabobank report on the sector ie Sustainable Agriculture.
The Sustainable Returns: Finding the value in Environmental Sustainability the report says improved environmental practices can deliver an immediate monetary benefit, through price premiums, and long-term strategic advantages.
Report author Blake Holgate said many consumers now consider buying food products with sustainability credentials as a precondition rather than a value-add feature.
"In high-value international markets, where the vast majority of these products are purchased, consumers are unlikely to pay a premium for products just because farmers are undertaking sustainable farming actions.
To get a premium, food producers had to go beyond compliance to telling a story about the product: where it came from, how it was produced, and what it stands for, Holgate said.
Sustainability is only one element as consumers are also seeking an authentic story and want high quality, consistency, safety, and ethical production.
The four main areas in which sustainable farming can provide long-term strategic value for the sector are: future proofing, customer intimacy, shared value supply chain relationships, and social intimacy, the report said.
Supply of sustainable food products was growing as regulators in an increasing number of countries introduce measures to improve environmental performance.
Whilst some countries have a perception of being "clean and green", it was "imperative that the actual environmental performance lives up to the perception", Holgate said.
Developing supplier relationships based on shared values was another way farmers could gain long-term strategic value, with many major food corporates investing heavily in ensuring transparency and accountability in their supply chain. In order to do that, they have to guarantee the raw materials they source have been produced through acceptable farming practices, the report said.
With 90 percent of the country's population now urban and disconnected from the farming sector, the public no longer simply accepts farmers have a license to operate as they see fit and industry controls and guidelines have given way to government regulations and controls, Holgate said.
"Just as consumers need to be told a story about where food comes from and how it's produced, so, too, must the public, to ensure there is an informed consensus as to what environmental and ethical standards are appropriate for farming"

Can Lipstick Have Both a Matte and Metallic Finish?
Can liquid lipstick have both a matte and a metallic finish? Apparently that's the case with the new Amore Mattallics Lip Crème!
Amore Mattallics Lip Creme ($8.99) is a new limited edition metallic matte liquid lip creme available in eight shade selections for Summer 2016. Let it be known that Milani Fierce Foil Brilliant Shine Lipgloss wasn't the great formula in the world so I do question a matte metallic finish lipstick.
This could get messy…?
Amore Mattallics are actually a follow up to wildly popular Milani's Amore Matte Lip Creme that the brand simply could not keep in stock on the original launch. This new version promises just as much pigment as the original but with a metallic matte finish.
They actually wear for up to 12 hours and require an oil-based cleanser to remove them.
This worries me.
I find metallic lip products tend to leave behind a good deal of gunky glitter at times so imagine wearing one for 12 hours? Hopefully Milani's discovered the secrets to life, the universe, and everything with this formula so it'll wear long without cracking and leaving a flaky, glittery mess on your lips!
I'm intrigued!
These are available now at milanicosmetics.com.

A CAMP OUTBy A.J. Campbell
December, 1896 The romantic and picturesque locality of the Werribee Gorge was again elected as the site of the annual camp outing of the Working Men's College Photographic Club, Melbourne. Three nights under canvas were spent by nine members and friends of the club while two additional members came up on Prince of Wales' Birthday for the day only. The outing was most enjoyable, the camp being pitched in a more sheltered situation than on the last occasion, while the nights were just cool enough to make blankets pleasant items. When the weather was not favourable (i.e., too windy) for photographing, the time was well employed exploring the rocky reaches of the river, which resulted in the discovery of new picture spots for future use. The more sporting members indulged in rabbit shooting, eel fishing and fox hunting. The 55th birthday of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales was duly honoured in camp. After dark a huge Bon-fire blazed in the open; a musical member played feelingly "God bless the Prince of Wales" on the cornet, and ere the last notes had died away in echoes down the Gorge, a feu-de-joie was fired in the shape of a single string of 500 Chinese crackers. The illustration is a characteristic picture taken about the centre of the Gorge. This account of a camping trip was published in The Australian Photographic Journal, December 1896

Letter to Vietnamese Amabassador
April 28, 2004
His Excellency
Nguyen Tam Chien
Ambassador to the United States
Embassy of Vietnam
1233 20th Street, N.W.
Suite 400
Washington, D.C. 20036
Dear Mr. Ambassador,
Five years ago, together with other American bishops, I had the pleasure of visiting Vietnam and meeting with our brother bishops and fellow Catholics of Vietnam. Also in meetings with government officials in Hanoi and Hue and Ho Chi Minh City, we had frank and respectful discussions about the situation of religious life in your country.
We were pleased to hear from our brother bishops of the improvements in the area of religious freedom in recent years, especially as concerns the Catholic Church. While full religious freedom for all believers seems still a future hope, we believe that the annual visits of the delegation of the Holy See have played a helpful role in these improved relations. We continue to hope that your Government will see the wisdom soon of establishing the long-desired official relationship with the Holy See.
Recent and widely reported events affecting the Montagnard or Dega people in the Central Highlands,however, are a matter of grave concern to us who wish only good for the Vietnamese people. These largely Protestant Christians have been treated brutally by the authorities for years, with the violent repression of their Easter observances this month being especially reprehensible. I ask you to convey to your Government these concerns of the Catholic Church in the United States.
Another painful issue is the continued detention of a priest whose only known offense was to submit testimony to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom critical of Vietnam's behavior in this area. By imprisoning Fr. Nguyen Van Ly, an otherwise obscure human rights advocate, your Government has converted him into one of the world's better known prisoners of conscience and given greater reason for criticism of Vietnam's record on human rights and religious freedom.
I urge your Government to commute, not merely further reduce, Father Ly's sentence. May I ask you also to convey this additional concern of the Catholic Church here to your Government.
With sincere thanks and best wishes, I am
Sincerely yours,
Most Reverend John H. Ricard, SSJ
Bishop of Pensacola-Tallahassee
Chairman, Committee of International Policy

TORONTO--A boom in high-quality television should be welcomed rather than feared, said actors and film makers attending this year's Toronto's International Film Festival, which for the first time included a program dedicated to TV shows.
Organizers of the 10-day event, a key launching pad for Hollywood's award season, said the inclusion of TV shows reflected the "growing convergence and artistic equality between television and cinema."
But the ascent of television is also partly the result of Hollywood studios favoring big-budget franchise films, often based on comic books, that appeal to a wide audience, industry veterans said. Many writers and directors who are keen to produce more complex and challenging stories are looking elsewhere, said Matt Damon, who won an Oscar for co-writing "Good Will Hunting".
"A lot of us spent our adult lives thinking about two hours and three acts. (We're) now migrating to television going, 'OK, how do I tell this story over 20 hours?'" he told Reuters. "The movie that was my bread and butter for years, the $25 million to $50 million character drama, is just gone. They just don't make that anymore."
The six programmes in the Sept 10-20 festival's "Primetime" section include U.S. family comedy "Casual," Icelandic crime drama "Trapped" and French supernatural thriller "The Returned". Some critics say the so-called second golden age of television, which has produced the likes of "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men," has supplanted movies as the more sophisticated and influential medium. But actors, directors and screenwriters attending the festival said the issue shouldn't be seen this way.
"I don't think it's a threat at all," said "12 Years a Slave" star Chiwetel Ejiofor. "We've all enjoyed (these shows) becoming as brilliant as they have."
"Gladiator" director Ridley Scott, who got his start doing BBC programmes in the 1960s, said that with many big movies being "fundamentally brainless," television was proving to be a great breeding ground for new writers. For a long time, the film industry has undervalued what writers do, and the rise of television has helped rectify this, said "Meet the Parents" director Jay Roach.
"It's good for all of us if there are no monopolies either way," he said.
Indeed, some stories are best told over long arcs, said "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston, at the festival with the biopic "Trumbo". "A story should dictate the medium, not the other way around," he said. "'Breaking Bad' for instance, would have made a terrible movie."

I had reached the "end" of the Pixel People game sometime ago, but it was not the end of my experiment as yet.
Basically the professions unlock formulae was going to be the base for me to do some link plotting of their relationships. Graphviz works with the DOT file format, which is nothing more than a text file, so it makes for nice shell scripting. Of course there are other awesome helper libraries like afterglow (messed around with it a bit in the past) which make use of the graphviz library to do the final plotting, but being able to plot directly with graphviz also gives us some more flexibility to do whatever we want (most of the time).
Part of the raw file, with the formulae:
mayor mechanic engineer = mayor + mechanic sheriff = mayor + mayor architect = mayor + engineer landscaper = assistant + architect deputy = assistant + sheriff gardener = landscaper + deputy mechanical engineer = mechanic + engineer botanist = farmer + farmer
The code to create the two DOT files (undirected and directed graphs), and to generate the images based on different layout algorithms. Circo, fdp and sfdp layouts weren't really useful for this kind of graph, so I commented them out.
#!/bin/sh echo "graph pixpple {" > graph.dot echo "overlap=scalexy;" >> graph.dot echo "splines=true;" >> graph.dot cat formulae | sed -re 's/ /_/g' -e 's/^(.+)_=_(.+)_\+_(.+)$/\2 -- \1\n\3 -- \1/' | sed -r 's/$/;/' >> graph.dot echo "}" >> graph.dot echo "digraph pixpple {" > digraph.dot echo "overlap=scalexy;" >> digraph.dot echo "splines=true;" >> digraph.dot cat formulae | sed -re 's/ /_/g' -e 's/^(.+)_=_(.+)_\+_(.+)$/\2 -> \1\n\3 -> \1/' | sed -r 's/$/;/' >> digraph.dot echo "}" >> digraph.dot echo "=============================================" dot -v -Tpng digraph.dot > dot.png echo "=============================================" neato -v -Tpng digraph.dot > neato.png echo "=============================================" twopi -v -Tpng digraph.dot > twopi.png #echo "=============================================" #circo -v -Tpng digraph.dot > circo.png #echo "=============================================" #fdp -v -Tpng graph.dot > fdp.png #echo "=============================================" #sfdp -v -Tpng graph.dot > sfdp.png
The front part of the digraph DOT file:
digraph pixpple { overlap=scalexy; splines=true; mayor; mechanic; mayor -> engineer; mechanic -> engineer; mayor -> sheriff; mayor -> sheriff; mayor -> architect;
The front part of the graph DOT file:
graph pixpple { overlap=scalexy; splines=true; mayor; mechanic; mayor -- engineer; mechanic -- engineer; mayor -- sheriff; mayor -- sheriff; mayor -- architect;
And some results…
Gonna try out negative splitting again, this time for the 32km at the Newton Challenge this Sunday. It's pretty exciting to try out such tactics! Thanks to my brother for teaching me. 🙂

Fans of Fluke Skywalker
The first time I saw Fluke Skywalker was at Music Hall for a showing of "A New Hope" while the Cincinnati Pops played the movie score live in accompaniment. Fluke was in the lobby taking pictures and talking with fans, he was a hit. I then ran into him at Cincinnati Reds Opening Day where I was dressed like a banana ( I work for a produce company and was walking in the parade). We took a photo, and I later reached out in hopes he would consider coming to our Star Wars Night, and he said he'd love to. … Continue reading Fans of Fluke Skywalker

Yurikuma Arashi – 12 Review
Wonderful! It only took you twelve episodes and getting caught in a deathtrap together with Ginko! Talk about great timing!
Maybe it should've been a sitcom. The way Ginko and Lulu just invite themselves into Kureha's home (scenes about how Kureha's house is dusty and how Ginko's and Lulu's idea of a nice home includes having frame-hives for bees for example), the haughty class-presidents who constantly die and somehow every new class-president gleefully performs the role the same way (maybe show a scene of the drama-club performing a play called "How to be an evil class-president – And Death") and a school-president who's basically a hoarder with all her boxes. You know, make it a fun series instead of this overly serious atmosphere the series had most of the time.
Yurikuma Arashi – 11 Review
After all, love is game for try-hards. It's why stalking is such a GREAT way to earn love.
Yurikuma Arashi is the only series where after watching it once you can say you've seen the series three times already.
Yurikuma Arashi – 10 Review
That's nice and all… but I don't think that has helped Ginko in ANY way to win Kureha's heart again. She might as well have talked about worldpeace.
You need a lot of patience for this show. Sometimes it even feels like this series believes its audience to be full of idiots. The way this series can't stop itself from talking about its one-dimensional characters and straightforward story, you would think each episode is trying to introduce new viewers to the show. Really, whatever happens currently in the series and the reasons that lead to that are all laid out for you each time in every episode. There's more talk about what I already know than what I don't know in this series. At the start, the series was still a little mysterious but now the plot is people explaining everything, even the stuff that needed no explanation. And the explanations are frigging boring as well!
Yurikuma Arashi – 09 Review
Guess, Kureha likes to shoot first and ask later…
Good thing this series has Kureha to drive the plot forward. After all, I can't imagine an ordinary person to change her opinion on things that radically that fast – multiple times! Maybe next week she will hate her classmates again who she had become friends with in this episode because why not, right?
Yurikuma Arashi – 08 Review
To quote a running-gag of the Archer-TV-series: Phrasing!
Does anyone even care that a frigging comet has caused all bears to become the enemy of mankind? I mean, not that it was different before that comet hit earth but you know you're in trouble when animals start to talk to each other and shit. You could say, this series is the Yuri-Version of Planet of the Apes except you know the bears actually look like humans because Romeo & Juliet is great but bestiality isn't, I guess.
Yurikuma Arashi – 06/07 Review
Well, then again who actually would want to follow the social cues of a frigging cult, right?
Right now this series' story feels like one of those that needs to be reminded that brevity is the soul of wit. After seven episodes it still feels like each new plottwist is based on someone sharing new information with the audience. Due to that the series never seems to move on and capitalize on the consequences of the happenings. So far the series has been circling around an unchanging status quo while explaining why that status quo exists. The death of Sumika has been the only meaningful event of this series. All the other stuff just has been a setup to clarify the situation. And yeah, none of this is very entertaining.
Yurikuma Arashi – 05 Review
That was a ridiculous fanservice-moment. It would've been better, though, if it hadn't been like the third daydream-fanservice-sequence in this episode.
I'm still kinda hoping that this series is going for something deeper than "love is good". Right now it isn't a very remarkable series. It's stylish but somewhat ordinary on the story-front. And the characters haven't developed much depth either. It's all catchphrases with the dialogue in this series but genuine emotional moments that delve deeper into the reasons for what the characters are doing come rarely. This series needs one hell of a third-act-reveal to make up for this somewhat ordinary first half (with the style being the only remarkable thing about it).
Review-Roundup: Yuri Kuma Arashi 04, Aldnoah.Zero 15
Yeah, sure, that's how brains work. A few more episodes and Inaho can use telekinetic powers like Scarlett Johannson in "Lucy", I guess.
This time I review:
Yuri Kuma Arashi 04: Flashback-time! Apparently the Bear-World resembles a fairy-tale-kingdom and the bears send their criminals to the humans – because they can't give up on their love. Seems like love is a crime no matter where you go in this series.
Aldnoah.Zero 15: Inaho is Odin and Slaine gets adopted. There's also a war going on… I assume. People certainly fight and die a lot. Why they keep fighting, though, is anybody's guess…
Yurikuma Arashi – 02/03 Review
Kureha's house at the crossroads with one road having a sign for humans and for the other other street one indicating bears.
Is Yurikuma Arashi too artsy for its own good? Maybe… I certainly feel like telling the series to get on with it. Its repeating elements may serve a narrative purpose by coming up quite so often without much change but I would rather have meaningful stark changes than a series repeating itself for the sake of when it will make an exception. Even something as artsy as this series can get get formulaic when it just doesn't move on. I mean, first of all, I'm not even sure what this series' endgame is supposed to be. Really, more than a question of like and dislike, it's a question of curiosity and indifference with this series. You either wait for the end in order to get the whole picture or you just leave disinterested. This series certainly ain't a crowdpleaser.
Review-Roundup: Absolute Duo 01, Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu Love! 01, Yuri Kuma Arashi 01
All of Yuri-Kuma's dialogue in its first episode is like this: Grandiose, not very deep and rather passive in how it just describes things that are happening. You really got more out of watching the background and what the characters were doing than listening to the dialogue.
This time I review:
Absolute Duo 01: A dude falls in love with a silver-haired loli who's also into him because he's special. After all, he has mastered techniques that a woman can't learn since her frail woman-body can't handle the whole thing.
Binan… 01: Some dudes meet an alien who turns them into magical "girls" who have to battle darkness. It's funny because they are guys and really just don't give a shit about the whole thing.
Yurikuma Arashi 01: Lesbians, bears and a ton of weirdness. The main-girl loses her lover but gains two bears in the process who want to "eat" her. Also it's another anime where a post-apocalypse civilisation has to surround itself with a wall to ward off evil (you could fill a book with those at this point, I feel like).

Metro to reach domestic airport terminals by 2016
Currently, there's Metro connectivity to T3 terminal, from where international carriers and premium domestic airlines fly
Currently, there's Metro connectivity to T3 terminal, from where international carriers and premium domestic airlines fly
The domestic terminals of the Indira Gandhi Airport are soon going to get Metro connectivity during Phase III of the project. This is good news for those commuting to the domestic terminals on and off, as they will get super-fast connectivity. At present, the operational Airport Express Link provides Metro connectivity to the new T3 terminal of the airport, from which all international carriers and premium domestic airlines fly. There is no Metro for the domestic terminals from which the low-cost operators fly.
"The proposed Metro station will be underground and come up on the Janakpuri West-Kalindi Kunj-Botanical Garden corridor and is scheduled to be operational by 2016. The station is going to benefit domestic passengers hugely," said a DMRC spokesperson. The south Delhi Metro stations-Kalkaji, Nehru Place, Hauz Khas, Munirka etc -will be about 20 min away from the station.
Rajat Khanna, a frequent commuter said, "I need to travel frequently via air for business. But the line can be taken only from New Delhi railway station, which is far from where I live. If the line becomes available from other stations, it will reduce half the trouble."
Meanwhile, for east Delhi commuters coming from Vaishali (Ghaziabad), Anand Vihar, and Lakshmi Nagar, it will take about 50 minutes to reach the terminal. West Delhi commuters will reach in about 30 minutes, while north and central Delhi passengers will reach in 40 minutes. As for those coming from Noida, there is a direct connectivity from Botanical Garden, and people can reach in 35 minutes.
Proposed changes on the corridor
>> Janakpuri West with Line 3
>> Hauz Khas with Line 2
>> Kalkaji with Line 6
>> Botanical Garden with Line 3

The other day, my friend and colleague Gauri Salokhe shared this article on the "dark side" of Steve Jobs. When I finished reading it, I thought to myself, is there anyone on the face of this earth who does not have a dark side?
It made me think, if Jobs was not so demanding both of himself and of his team, if Jobs wasn't such a perfectionist, if Jobs had not called a spade a spade, if Jobs had not challenged himself and his team, if Jobs had sweet coated every time he had to break bad news, if Jobs was not honest with himself and his team, would he have been able to lead the revolution that changed our lives and let's face it changed humanity so radically?
Quite frankly, I do not think Jobs aim was to live a beauty contest life or else he would not have achieved what he achieved nor served humanity the way he did. He had a vision and did everything he could to fulfill his vision. And yes, sometimes this meant harsh words, and yes, he may not have been loved by his colleague and yes he may have had a reputation of being an authoritarian. SO WHAT.
Jobs was a visionary, he was a strategist, he was a gifted human. He was one of a kind and guess what, we will not have another Jobs for years to come.
A word on charity..... giving charity is something very private. Those who sign cheques in public and use it for their self-promotion are not charitable people, they are narcissist and individuals who are very full of themselves and very empty people.
We will miss Jobs' genius mind, his creativity and his insight. And you know what, his colleagues and team will miss his Jobs dark side and his bouts of anger when things start going wrong and when the going gets tough!!!! It will be in these moments and hard times that they will miss Jobs, realize the difference he made and that is when they will say: "If he was here, these things would not have happened, we would have done things differently".
It is safe to say that we have all benefitted from Jobs "dark side", his obsession for perfection and his vision. The world needs more visionary people who thrive on perfection and if this means you need to have a "dark side" so be it!!!!
Steve, may you rest in peace and you're already missed tremendously.

In June 2013, the FTC sued several companies that scammed timeshare owners. The companies claimed they had interested buyers for timeshare properties. In fact, if timeshare owners paid, they found out there was no buyer — and they couldn't get a refund.
Now, somebody is trying to rip off those timeshare owners again. Several people who previously paid Resort Solution Trust have reported to the FTC that someone recently called them claiming to be an attorney working on a case against the company. The caller said the timeshare owner was eligible for a refund, generally $1,000-$4,000 — if they first paid a "bond" or "fee," around $800.
The recent outbreak of tornadoes and other violent weather that took lives and pulverized homes and businesses from the Midwest to the Deep South is a sad reminder that extreme weather can occur with little warning.
As we know, when a disaster strikes, bogus charities aren't far behind. The FTC urges you to be on guard against scam artists who try to take advantage of someone else's tragedy.
Whether it's a website where people diagnosed with the same medical condition can share their stories or an app to find out how long it will take in the gym to burn off a Macadamia Mania Ripple sundae, consumers are taking their health in their own hands — and generating a massive amount of digital data in the process.
The Senate Special Committee on Aging is holding a hearing today to examine deception associated with retail precious metals investments and their effect on people's retirement nest eggs. The FTC, which has a track record of stopping deceptive practices in the marketing of precious metals as investments, will testify.
Thanks to a settlement with the FTC, Apple is refunding more than $32 million to people for in-app charges made by kids without their parent's permission. Apple also had to change its billing practices to make sure it now gets express, informed consent from people before charging them for in-app purchases.
True, bills aren't the most thrilling read. They are hardly funny, there are no vampires or romantic triangles, and you probably won't be pleased if there's any suspense involved.
When bills arrive, it can be hard enough to look at the amount due, never mind wading through the line items. But if you don't check them, you could end up paying for things you never bought. It can be easy to fix — if you spot it. Make it a habit to read your bills as soon as you get them. Do you recognize every charge?
Earth Day is April 22 – and thoughts may well turn to spring cleaning. Maybe you're ready to brighten your home with a fresh coat of paint. Maybe your garden can use a little pruning. If you want supplies or paint that are better for the environment, chances are you'll rely on advertising for information about the products you choose. The Federal Trade Commission requires truth in advertising, including green advertising. That means companies need solid evidence to back up the environmental claims they make about their products.
Imagine a criminal gang has defrauded thousands of people around the country. They may have scammed folks out of millions — or tens of millions — of dollars. The FTC goes after just these kinds of bad guys, and often, can get money back for the consumers who were ripped off. But what about the scammers? Some of them just pick up stakes and start again — ripping off more people along the way. The FTC might haul them right back into court. But the unfortunate truth about some of these crooks is that nothing short of locking them up is going to stop them. That's where the FTC's Criminal Liaison Unit comes in. The CLU teams up with prosecutors to get justice for consumers.
Maybe you've thought about buying a franchise because you're eager for a career change. Perhaps you want to be the boss, or to build a family business. Whatever your motivation is, know that buying a franchise takes a major financial investment and a serious personal commitment. If you wonder whether owning a franchise is right for you, ask yourself some questions.
Right about now is the time when many of us are searching for scholarships and financial aid for our college-bound kids. Or maybe Junior is interviewing for his first job — or Muffy is buying her first car. In the middle of the paperwork, you might get a nasty surprise: your child's credit report shows unpaid bills and a loan default. What? My child's credit report? Children and young teens aren't even legally able to open credit accounts on their own; you wouldn't expect them to have a credit report. So what happened? Most likely, it's identity theft.
A child's Social Security number can be used by identity thieves to apply for government benefits and tax refunds, open bank and credit card accounts, apply for a loan or utility service, or rent a place to live. The best way to know if your child's information is being misused is to check for a credit report. Even if you don't suspect identity theft, it's a good idea to see if there is a credit file on your child. Do a check at their 16th birthday. And if needed, take action immediately.

RichFaces components and ui:repeatPosted by michpetrov Mar 26, 2015
As you might have noticed with newer versions of Mojarra (2.2.6+) some RichFaces components do not work well when placed inside ui:repeat (MyFaces are not affected). This applies to functionality where components switch between different things (changing tabs, sorting columns in a table) - the full list of issues we track can be seen here. A reliable workaround is to use a4j:repeat instead.
The problem occurred with fixing JAVASERVERFACES-3152 which changed the way component state is being saved and restored inside ui:repeat. As far as I understand there isn't a clear specification on how ui:repeat is supposed behave but the state saving mechanism is a core part of the JSF framework and we relied on the way it worked before, whether it was intended or not. The impact for RichFaces is that interactive components don't "remember" their previous state - for example expanding a collapsed rich:collapsiblePanel will not trigger a PanelToggleEvent for its @toggleListener because the information that the panel is collapsed is not available to the component. I have been trying to resolve the issue with the Mojarra team but so far we've gotten nowhere (I was suggested a workaround but it made the state apply to every component inside ui:repeat, not just the one - i.e. collapsing one panel would collapse all panels), while the impact to JSF is not as big and they do not need to make sure our components work I do believe that the current behavior is a bug since I've been able to observe some undesirable results in pure JSF environment.
Currently there is a JIRA ticket filed - JAVASERVERFACES-3833, if this issue affects your application consider voting for it.

No Purpose
My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?

Charles Schultz is like one of my favorite people of all time.

You don't need to have direction or purpose to be happy. All you need is love!
Mr. FabulousMay 30, 2007 at 12:10 pm
..Of course a suitcase full of money would help a lot as well.
RobinMay 30, 2007 at 1:07 pm
Fab – No, it doesn't hurt.
GDG – Awww…you are so lovely.
themuttprincessMay 30, 2007 at 1:16 pm
For me it takes booze. Lots and lots of it. Then I am complete. :rock:
Mr. FabulousMay 30, 2007 at 2:34 pm
I've been there with the booze. I don't miss the hangovers.
Geeky Dragon GirlMay 30, 2007 at 4:24 pm
I have to agree, a suitcase full of money would help things too… so long as there were no mobsters looking for it!
Mr. FabulousMay 30, 2007 at 4:54 pm
GDG–You know I love you, but I get the feeling that you are trying to make sure I don't pass you in comments.
You don't know who you are fucking with. :nana:
Geeky Dragon GirlMay 30, 2007 at 5:05 pm
I don't know what you're talking about. :angel:
Well okay. So what. Give me one freaking month why don't ya. Nobody writes about me besides me, so it'll be nice to hear what someone else has to say. Should I not be rewarded for my efforts?
Mr. FabulousMay 30, 2007 at 5:07 pm
LOL what about me? When Robin started this she assumed I'd win all the time and I haven't even come close.
This is my time, Candy Pants!

Candy pants, heh, I'm laughing yet I don't know what that means. I hope I don't leave a sticky sugary stain on my chair.
You can have next month, how about that?
Mr. FabulousMay 30, 2007 at 5:23 pm
Sorry. I am too close, and my attention span is too short to try again next month. It's now or never. Now…are you gonna get out of my way Dollface? :whosnext:
Geeky Dragon GirlMay 30, 2007 at 5:30 pm
You're not the only one with a short attention span. Am I going to get out of your way? Hmm… not in the next couple hours. But after I head home for the day, it's all yours. I'm not THAT determined.
But in the end it's up to Robin who she thinks deserves it most. With our luck it'll be neither of us. :lmao:
Mr. FabulousMay 30, 2007 at 6:01 pm
What? She could still arbitrarily decide who gets it?
That would be JUST like her….
Aw shucks, my dear. The little devil inside of me is telling me to make 100 comments tonight all throughout the blog. But I am too old and tired for that. It is yours, with my blessing. :thumbsup:

I love these three little guys (or girls), all lined up in a row. I have 17 in two mesh cages right now, and they are eating, pooping machines. By the weekend, most should be in chrysalis form. I have been seeing Monarchs flying around the yard every day--yesterday two got into an impressive battle over rights to the milkweed patch. So, there are more eggs on deck! And here I was all worried I wouldn't see a single butterfly in my yard this summer.
Speaking of yards, the most impressive three clumps of flowers in this shot are all volunteers. That is, I didn't plant them there. I just left them because: a) I am lazy; and b) they looked purty.
So much other stuff has been happening beyond gardening and painting and priming and organizing that I don't even know where to begin: there has been frog-herding in Door County, grant-submitting, family-reunion/funeral-in-another-state-attending, mojito making, and fiction writing.
These tall gangly suckers are Cupplant. They are currently 10 feet tall.
I DID plant this sunflower.
(Now: "Shout at the Devil" and a bandsaw in the garage.)
I'll try to update again soon--there are baby robins in our front birch tree, and I'm hoping to snap a pic. They are homely and fuzzy and adorable with their giant clown mouths, and they're about five days from fledging. (Is it terrible of me to say I'm kind of relieved that our neighbor's outdoor cat/killing machine has a limp? Yes, it is terrible. Terrible and TRUE.)

Defeating Diarrhea: integration is the solution
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi [India], July 25 (ANI-NewsVoir): Tomorrow, July 26, at 3:00 p.m. in Tamarind Hall at India Habitat Centre, PATH's Defeat Diarrheal Disease Initiative (DefeatDD) will convene thought leaders on child health in India at an event titled, "Defeating diarrhea: Integration is the solution." On the occasion, Dr. Ganguly, advisor for the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute and Former Director General of the Indian Council of Medical Research, will deliver a keynote address, "Why we should continue to prioritize diarrheal disease." PATH's India Country Program leader Neeraj Jain will moderate a panel discussion: "Integrated approaches to tackle diarrhea." Panelists who are expected to participate include Dr. Ajay Khera and Dr. Pradeep Haldar from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for the Government of India; Tinni Sahwney from the Aga Khan Foundation and Dr. O P Singh from Save the Children. The event will showcase a series of new, short videos shot in India to call greater attention to the lifelong impacts of repeated diarrheal illness in children as they grow up, as well as in their families and communities. The series also highlights the momentum and progress in India through the work of groups such as Save the Children's Stop Diarrhoea Initiative, the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), Population Services International (PSI), WaterAid, Clinton Health Access Initiative and the Sesame Workshop to inspire advocates nationally and globally. The videos vividly illustrate the challenges that India faces, yet also highlight families and communities who are welcoming simple solutions into their daily lives. With India rolling out the Intensified Diarrhoea Control Fortnight and aligning prevention and treatment for diarrhea in high-burden states, the panelists will discuss the integration of simple solutions to reduce the burden of diarrheal disease and the importance of increased access. Diarrheal disease is the second leading killer disease of children under age five around the world. This crisis is especially critical where safe water, sanitation, and access to urgent medical care are limited. When it doesn't kill, repeated bouts of diarrheal illness can lead to irreversible physical and cognitive stunting, a burden that contributes to keeping families locked in a cycle of poverty and limiting children's ability to reach their full potential. PATH is the leader in global health innovation. An international nonprofit organization, we save lives and improve health, especially among women and children. We accelerate innovation across five platforms - vaccines, drugs, diagnostics, devices and system and service innovations - that harness our entrepreneurial insight, scientific and public health expertise and passion for health equity. By mobilizing partners around the world, we take innovation to scale, working alongside countries primarily in Africa and Asia to tackle their greatest health needs. Together, we deliver measurable results that disrupt the cycle of poor health. (ANI-NewsVoir)

We have just one…she's been on the blog here a few times! 😉 If you do have a special pet in your life, then join us for the #SergeantsPet Twitter Party tomorrow! Ever done a twitter party? They're super fun (& fast)–a great way to chat with people about a topic, get tips, and have a chance to earn prizes! This one is all about pet health! The goal is to learn the best ways to take care of your pet, keep them in good health & learn how easy it is to help AHA animal shelters across the U.S.
Our cute Sadie dog was adopted from a shelter and I love that Sergeants has partnered with the American Humane Association. In fact, since February, Sergeant's has asked pet lovers to take an online pledge committing to care for their pets. For every pledge, Sergeant's sends a pet health kit (retailing up to $50 in value) to participating shelters with the help of the American Humane Association (AHA). These kits go home with newly adopted pets from AHA shelters nationwide to ensure their health care regimen is off to a great start. Sergeant's has yet to reach their total pledge goal – and needs our help to spread the word to family and friends to show everyone how to help shelter animals.
Want to join us? Here's all the info:
When: Wednesday, May 29, at 1pm ET (the party will last one hour)
Where: Twitter – follow the #SergeantsPet hashtag!

RNZ, Auckland, January 5, 2019
A retailers' group wants the government to regulate the amount banks can charge for credit-card transactions.
Retailers in this country are charged a surcharge of between 2% and 3% of the purchase value, when a customer uses a credit or Paywave card.
Retail New Zealand's General Manager Public Affairs Greg Harford said this is three-times higher than what's charged in similar overseas markets.
Surcharge added
He said that the surcharge is added to the price of all goods, so those paying cash subsidise credit-card fees.
"So that means that the customer who's paying cash for their groceries is effectively subsidising the rewards programmes that are operated, air points credit cards for example," he said.
Mr Harford said that Retail New Zealand will talk to the government about possible regulatory solutions once it has conducted some more research on the issue.

"The local tourism industry is back on its feet and ready to provide the warm welcome that the Hunter is renowned for," Mr Ayres said.
Destination NSW will provide the funding and support package with funding to go towards creating new marketing campaigns and building existing campaigns as well as providing support to digital and social media.
The Dungog Festival will receive additional funding to support and promote the town's film festival, which takes place October 22- 25.
At the end of September 2014 the Hunter region had seen more than 3 million international and domestic visitors stay overnight, with total spending amounting to more than $1.4 billion.

The term "aerospace" incorporates all aspects of flight including aviation, aeronautics, and astronautics. This ASEE Selective Guide to Literature on Aerospace Engineering identifies essential sources of information according to their function and format. The Guide will be useful for practicing engineers, engineering faculty, and engineering students and all who need to know where to look for information on a variety of topics in aerospace engineering. Librarians, library and information science students, and other information professionals will find it useful for planning access services and for collection development. From the launching of balloons in the 19th century to the airplane and spacecraft flights of this century, the aerospace literature has recorded scientific, governmental, industrial, and commercial efforts and achievements. The literature of aerospace engineering over the past 100 years remains of current interest, as knowledge in this field is cumulative and relevant to both historians and practitioners. The entire aerospace effort continues to command a high profile in modern society and is of benefit to people everywhere. As the field of aerospace engineering continues to grow and change, it will be even more important to track its activities and accomplishments through the literature sources listed here. This Guide includes bibliographies, guides to the literature, indexes and abstracts, Internet resources, encyclopedias, dictionaries, handbooks, directories, specifications and standards, government documents, statistical sources, selected periodicals, and selected conference proceedings. Selections are based on the compilers' knowledge and experience in engineering librarianship and interlibrary loan services. Members of the ASEE Engineering Libraries Division and the SLA Aerospace and Engineering Divisions were generous with their input and suggestions. Publishers were occasionally inserted as assumed corporate authors. One such example is Jane's Information Group. The resulting advantage is that all publications for a publisher were then grouped together.

Pool Demolition in Los Gatos
How many hours do you, and your children, actually spend in your pool? If you compare that to the hours you spend searching for the right chemicals, skimming the pool, and getting it repaired, you may be surprised.
Many people have begun to feel that their pool is more of a hassle than it's worth. It is costly, between pumps, filters, chemicals and the utilities you use to run the pool. It also takes up your time, and the safety issues around the pool may even increase your stress levels.
It's no surprise that many people are getting pool demolitions in Los Gatos.
The Environmental & Health Cost of Pools
Of course, you knew about those disadvantages of pools already. But, did you know that new research has shown that pools also have serious environmental and health costs?
Health Effects
- Asthma: Babies exposed to chlorinated water may develop asthma. Competitive swimmers may also develop asthma from pool water.
- Dental enamel: Long-term use of chlorine pools may wear down tooth enamel, which exposes them to further harm, and may make their texture rough
- Bladder cancer: Chlorinated water has been linked to bladder cancer, and researchers aren't sure how serious this risk is.
Keep in mind that those risks are in addition to the usual swimming pool hazards of slipping, drowning, and getting a sunburn.
Environmental Effects
- Wasted water: A pool uses a significant amount of water, which is hard to manage when water restrictions are in place, as they frequently are in Los Gatos.
- Chemical exposure: Chlorine and other pool chemicals evaporate from pool water, and exposure to them can harm wildlife and even the beneficial bacteria in your soil.
- Fossil fuel use: Your utility bills aren't the only thing suffering from running a pool pump, filter and heater. They take up a lot of energy.
- Erosion: Discarded pool water contributes to erosion, especially if you dispose of it while it is raining.
Our concern for the environment is changing the way we live, for the better. Once pools may have been considered an essential part of a home, but times change. Getting rid of your pool will help the environment even more than getting rid of plastic bags, microbeads, and plastic straws.
Convenient Pool Demolition That Won't Interfere with Your Life
At Bay Area Pool Demolition, we understand that you can't be around to make sure every little part of your pool demolition goes smoothly. So, we take care of every aspect of your pool demolition from start to finish. Here's our process:
- We get your pool removal permit
- We drain your pool for you, safely and without environmental impact
- We remove your pool's shell and dispose of it safely
- We cap off your sewer, electric and gas lines
- We fill your pool with the right mix of soil, gravel, and topsoil
- We tamp and level the ground for you
- We pick up all debris and remove it from your property
If you're ready for a simple, stress-free pool demolition in Los Gas, reach out to us at Bay Area Pool Removal.
City Requirements for Swimming Pool Removal in Los Gatos
Each city has its own requirements when it comes to removing swimming pools. The city of Los Gatos requires:
- A completely building permit application
- Three sets of site plans that show property lines, structures, the location of the pool, and setback dimensions to structures and property lines
- Site plans must show existing and proposed utility line locations
- Site plans must show trees by location, diameter, species, the grade at each tree's base, and any driplines
- A tree protection plan
- A construction management plan
There are also specific guidelines for full and partial swimming pool removals, inspection schedules, material storage, material disposal, and the compaction report. Learn more about Los Gatos' requirements.
While you can try to pull and fulfill all of the permits yourself, our team at Bay Area Pool Demolition can handle 100% of the process for you. You just decide on the date of your pool removal and we'll handle everything else!

The appointment of Baroness Stowell was "hasty" and showed "scant regard" for the appointment process and for parliament's role in public appointments, MPs have claimed.
Baroness Stowell was last month appointed as the new chair of the Charity Commission, despite a number of objections from MPs and charity bodies, who expressed concerns around her 'lack of experience' for the role.
In written evidence submitted by the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, MPs said the government's response to its "hasty" decision was indicative of a "what could become a worrying trend".
"Since 2005, appointing Ministers have put aside negative committee pre-appointment findings on four occasions, including [the appointment of Baroness Stowell]. The other most recent example – that of the Chief Inspector for Ofsted in July 2016 – bears many similarities […] Regardless of the committee's important concerns, the government appointed the candidate anyway," the statement said.
The committee said following a pre-appointment hearing, it wrote to the appointing Secretary of State, Matt Hancock setting out "strong concerns" about Stowell's suitability for the role.
It said the letter identified three specific concerns: the candidate's performance on the day; her ability to be impartial; and reservations about the recruitment process.
However, in its evidence, the committee argued its concerns were dismissed immediately through the press, rather than straight to the committee.
"The committee received no prior warning of this decision, nor any substantive response to the concerns we raised. When the committee again sought a reply to our individual concerns, the Secretary of State's response failed to meaningfully address any of our four major reservations about the candidate's suitability for the role," it said.
The committee added that throughout the duration of the process, members "continued to feel that they had no satisfactory answer" as to why Matt Hancock had failed to take its concerns into account.
"As its stated in its report, the committee believed the government's hasty decision showed scant regard for both due process and for parliament's role in public appointments. But the government's response was also indicative of what could become a worrying trend," it said.
MPs suggested parliament instead introduce a Standing Order, requiring ministers to debate an appointment for 90 minutes on the Floor of the House, should the relevant committee reject the government's desired candidate.
"This measure would restore parliament's rightful authority to scrutinise the pre-appointment process, and allow select committees to fulfil their statutory obligations.
"We strongly believe that the government must do more to ensure that senior public positions are accessible to all who are qualified, and that it must prove to parliament and to the nation that it is genuinely committed to presenting a public face more representative of modern British society."

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh launched the 'Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Shram Anna Sahayata Yojna' under which nutritious meals will be provided to labourers at a humble price of Rupees five.
As many as 60 such food centres will be set up in 27 districts of the states which will provide food to nearly 60,000 labourers on a daily basis. The labourers can either have a meal at the facility or get it packed in their tiffin, said Singh.
First Shram Anna Sahayata centre was launched in Chhattisgarh's Telibandha area where nearly 1,000 labourers will be served meal daily between 8 am to 10 am.
Singh noted that the programme aims to reach 7000 labourers across 27 districts in Chhattisgarh.

Browns and Blues won't leave me alone!
Here's a look at my newest piece. I'm in love with browns always but now browns and blues can't stay away from each other in my work. They are like magnets. So here's my latest piece on my easel. In this picture the different tones of browns and yellows I used didn't show up as well as I would have liked so I will get an updated pic up soon. I ranged from dark browns to light tan colors but the pic on my iPhone didn't quite catch it so I'm off to capture it with my "real" camera. Who knew there was something an iPhone couldn't do??? 🙂
Do you have colors that you "magnet" towards? Colors that call to you? Please share in the comment section if you do!

MetOp-C campaign kicks off9 Jul 2018, 10:01 UTC
The MetOp-C launch campaign has kicked off with the first of three Antonovs landing at Cayenne Airport, French Guiana on 20 June.
First Antonov landing (ESA)
The cargo aircraft transported 11 containers of equipment for ground support and IT-infrastructure. The second Antonov carrying the two main modules of the spacecraft, the Service Module and the Payload Module, followed a few days later. And the third flight brought the solar array.
Second Antonov at Cayenne airport (ESA)
This is in preparation for the launch later this year of the third polar-orbiting MetOp satellite, MetOp-C.
The first two satellites, MetOp-A and -B were launched in 2006 and 2012 respectively and are improving weather forecasts thanks to their ability, among other features, to measure temperature and humidity profiles from a relatively close 800 km-altitude orbit.
Unloading MetOp-C (ESA)
Launching a new satellite every 5–6 years guarantees a continuous delivery of high-quality data for medium- and long-term weather forecasting and climate monitoring until at least 2023.
The launch of MetOp-C will ensure that these observations will also be available on a daily basis in the future.

Warning: If you are a student or a minor, please leave this blog NOW!
Complaints, Lawsuits, Fear of the Coeymanazi Coeymans Police Department…Overspending, Wild Spending Habits, A Major Chunk of the Town Budget–Now the Coeymans Police Department "Promotes" Albany CountySheriff's Department Employee and Part-Time Coeymans Cop Kerry Thompson to Lieutenant and the Coeymans Town Board Approves Thompson's Hourly Rate at More Than $30/Hour!
According to our recent poll 64% of persons responded would like to see the Coeymans police department eliminated; 59% of persons responding said they would support a referendum to eliminate the Coeymans police department. 46% said that they were concerned by the coziness between the Albany County and the Coeymans police department. 38% of responders reported that their rights were violated by either the Coeymans police department or a Coeymans police officer, and were unsatisfied with the reponse of the Coeymans police department.
These are pretty damning figures from a fairly well-educated, intelligent group of people who read this blog, and take the time to participate in our polls. Such a large percentage wo want to see the Coeymans police department eliminated and who would support a referendum to eliminate it is a good reason to continue reviewing the department and whether it is justified. A very concerning rate of persons responding to the poll report that they feel their rights were violated by the Coeymans police department or by a Coeymans police officer.
So, this raises a very appropriate question after the July 23, 2012, Coeymans town board meeting at which Flach, Dolan, Boehme, and Masti unanimously approved Albany County Sheriff department employee and part-time Coeymans police officer Kerry Thompson to be a less-than-full-time lieutenant in the Coeymans police department at an hourly rate of more than $30.00/hour! More than $30.00 an hour for what the Coeymans town board described as largely "administrative."
Is this town absolutely nutz?
Has the town board completely lost it's mind or are they 100% owned by the Coeymanazis, Dolan, and Albany County! Are you, dear readers, citizens, and residents going to believe that Gregory Darlington, with his more than $91,000 annual salary and the some 18 other full- and part-time employees, including one Coeymans police officer, Contento ("contento" is Italian for "happy", "pleased with yourself" Wouldn't you be?), who pulled more than $84,000 in salary in 2011, are so overworked that they need to put a lieutenant on the staff (he's already there but they're pulling a fast one to "promote" him) for more than $30/hour. How many Coeymans residents are making that kind of money on one or two jobs?
And an administrative position, to add salt to our wounds?!?! What kind of favor, reward is this, now? A very special Thank You! to Kerr Thompson for his fine service to this community as a part-timer? Or is it because he's married to chief Gregory Darlingtons's sister? Did you miss that little tidbit when we published it some time ago?
When is this insane spending and rewarding, this favoritism at taxpayer expense going to finally stop???
This is an absolute disgrace considering the general attitude of the community regarding the Coeymans police, their antics, and their spending habits! And Cathy Deluca, wife of Coeymans police department employee, Gerald "Dirty Hands Jerry" Deluca is sending residents out collecting empty cans and bottles to send school children on field trips because, 'There's no money in the school budget for that." Does anyone smell something funny going on around here?
Was the recent award of more than $18,000 from Albany County DA David Soares a prelude to this ridiculous action taken by the Coeymans town board? Are any of you aware that Thompson works full-time for the Albany County Sheriff's Department; How does he expect to do two jobs at the same time? (This multiple job syndrome appears to be a unique situation in the RCS community: Matt Miller had three jobs at the same time: teacher, teachers union president/union rep, and energy manager, until his little criminal career was ended by the RCS board of education. Look at Dirty-Hands Jerry Deluca's multiple jobs! Deluca claims to have at least 5 jobs, and still manages to collect a salary from the Coeymans police department as a police investigator with no qualifications! And now we have Kerry Thompson who is going to come on to do "administrative work" (Wait a minute! Isn't that Darlington's job? He's getting $91,000 to do it!) and Coeymans is going to be paying him $30/hour (between $30-45,000 a year, part-time! That's more than most RCS residents take home, my friends!)) This town is apparently rolling is spare change and nobody knows it! Keep collecting those bottles and cans!
We can see Thomas E. Dolan screwing the community like that–he's in it with Darlington and his gang of Coeymanazis— but it's beyond us that Peter Masti went along with the gift-giving frenzy, even that Stephen Flach went along with it. Scandalous! Disgraceful!
Our Advice: The Coeymans Police Department Needs a State Audit VERY VERY Badly!
The Comptroller or the NYS Office of the Attorney General Needs to Take a Good Long Look at the Town of Coeymans Finances and especially the Financial (Mis)Management and Accounting Abuses/Practices of the Coeymans Police Department, Including its Staffing Practices!
Will someone please WAKE UP!!! That's YOUR $$$ They're Burning!!!

The mystery over a missing baby meerkat at Perth Zoo has been solved after a police search of a home east of the city uncovered the newborn animal.
The one-month-old meerkitten was due to be revealed to the public on Thursday this week, but was last spotted around 3pm on Wednesday – and within half-an-hour had disappeared from its enclosure.
At first, zoo employees were investigating if the animal had been stolen but later turned their focuses towards the idea a predatory animal may have snatched the baby.
Police were also informed about the meerkat's disappearance.
Inquiries then led detectives to a home in Beverley, where a search warrant was undertaken and the baby meerkat found.
A man and woman are now both assisting police with further inquiries into the matter.
Charges have yet been laid over the incident.

- U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs website
- A rendering of Pikes Peak National Cemetery.
A 374-acre plot in southeast Colorado Springs with room for 95,000 veterans and family members was dedicated on May 25. The Pikes Peak National Cemetery, 10545 Drennan Road, is the state's third VA cemetery — the others are Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver and Fort Lyon National Cemetery.
The idea of a VA cemetery in Southern Colorado started during the tenure of Rep. Joel Hefley before he left office in 2007. Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado Springs, and Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colorado, both of whom spoke at the commemoration service, worked on legislation to bring about the project, as did other Colorado lawmakers. Bennet introduced legislation in 2009 to create the cemetery and the next year to help the state qualify by reducing the required 170,000 to 80,000 veterans living within 75 miles of a potential site. In 2016, funding of the $36 million necessary for construction was secured.
