We started the day with reasonable sunshine but then the cloud rolled in and it turned cold and murky.
The forecast said better on the west coast so we travelled with Jo round to Wasdale,
hopefully for a good walk up Middle Fell, weather permitting.
A gap in the clouds as we cross Ennerdale Valley on the Cold Fell road.
That looks like Red Pike on the western end of the High Stile Ridge.
The coastal area was clear
but there was cloud in Upper Wasdale and we could only just make out the Scafells as we passed Harrow Head Farm.
From a little further on the head of the valley certainly wasn't clear . . .
. . . but by the time we parked and got underway,
the cloud had rolled away and we could see Scafell, Scafell Pike and Lingmell.
The three of us would be heading up Middle Fell . . . here Ann and Jo pause with Amber for an initial photo.
The way ahead . . . someone has planted lots of trees either side of Greendale Gill
and fenced it off from the sheep, but not a problem as the footpath stays well clear.
Looking back . . . at the Wasdale Screes.
The fine line of crags that stretch from Illgill Head to Whin Benn tend to dominate the valley
but with the sun behind them the shadows hide all the classic rock features.
Perhaps with the sun further west later the view might improve.
A picture of the Scafells with the optical illusion making Scafell higher than its more distant neighbour.
On the bend in Greendale Gill, the first part of the climb is completed so Harry and Dylan rest on the rock overlooking the river.
This is half the height but only a third of the distance to the tarn, still some thirty or forty minutes away.
The path continues, following the stream ever upward.
Jo and I stop for a look back at the view but Ann is looking forward to catch us in her camera viewfinder.
We've reached the snow line and close to the tarn.
Seatallan to the left has a covering of snow on the steeper slopes, the rest of the area has a general spread,
but a lot of the snow has probably gone in the last week.
The water temperature hasn't changed much though as there's a covering of ice on the lake.
Dylan and Amber chase each other around, they are still bounding with energy.
The dogs wisely stay clear of the edge though Amber did venture out a short distance next to the outflow
and ended up breaking through the ice into six inches of freezing cold water !
Time for our summit bid and we take a gentle, diagonal line from the lake up towards the ridge.
There's no path but just use the larger rocks and crags as waymarks.
As we climb to the ridge the mists, fog and cloud mix to produce a surreal effect . . .
with foreground haze, sun on the water, cloud inversion above, then darker (blue) sky topped by high cirrus cloud.
Zooming in on Ravenglass Estuary in the strange visibility.
However, high up at the summit it was beautifully clear
and our expected view across to the Scafells was as spectacular as ever.
We had a bonus summit or two today . . . reflections on the calm head of Wast Water.
Time for lunch and enjoy the view as a few other fellow walkers came and went.
This is the view down the coast to Black Combe to the far south western edge of the Lakes.
Round to the north west and across to the Mull of Galloway.
The lines on the horizon are a mixture of sea, land and cloud . . . your guess as to what is what is as good as ours.
Below us, on the coast, are the towers of Sellafield starting to emerge from the inversion.
Lunch over we are on our way again heading across the summit plateau and down the other end.
Our route will be on one of the paths on the other side and we will do a full circle of the lake by the end of the walk.
Ahead are some of the western fells . . . notably Red Pike, Kirk Fell and Great Gable.
Another optical illusion confronts us as the darker ridge to the right is Yewbarrow and there's a drop of nearly 1600ft beyond it
and before Kirk Fell as the hidden Mosedale Valley cuts through the mountains.
Several hardy Herdwicks are still out on the high fells, taking advantage of the snow melt to find fresh sustenance below.
Here we're looking down on the corner of the lake that we were alongside earlier in the walk.
Amber leads the way . . . ahead is Haycock and Little Gowder Crag . . . but not for us today.
We'll be heading left shortly, once we've lost a little more height.
Losing height means we have to say goodbye to the dramatic outline of Great Gable
as it slowly disappears behind the ridge.
The sea inversion is still catching the eye as we round the head of the lake.
An island . . . a shark with it's jaw open . . . a filleted mackerel with no head . . . no . . . it's Superman !
No . . . it's the reflection of the far shoreline through a hole in the ice !
We're starting across the area shown on the map as Buckbarrow Moss.
This would imply damp ground, the cold conditions help in keeping it solid but there's still soft patches to catch you out.
Zooming in on . . . a study in fifty shades of grey.
Three of them here are Latterbarrow Crag, Irton Pike and Muncaster Fell.
We're heading across country to find Joss Naylor's cairn which Jo has not visited before.
A local sheep fold distracts me as I search the far slope for the large cairn.
That looks like it . . . and we contour around the slope to reach it.
The cairn was rebuilt in recent years by the local farmer and fell runner Joss Naylor
and was completed on the day that the late Queen Mother was interred. It replaced an earlier cairn shown on the old maps.
The strange thing was that it doesn't appear to mark any route or particular viewpoint. Does anyone know more of its history ?
Now to find the start of the steep path down to Greendale below . . . we aim for the small pile of stones a short distance away.
The view down now includes the lake but the inversion has trapped a blue haze in the valley.
It is mainly cloud . . . but someone has just started a late afternoon fire which further detracts from the clarity.
Looking down on a re-built, ancient stone enclosure . . . and that bonfire below.
Greendale Gill to our left cascades over another waterfall,
overseen by a holly tree with vibrant red berries still in place.
As we emerge from the narrow side valley the sun makes its appearance again.
Gradually the light changes as the sun slowly sets behind the clouds out to the west.
The whites take on a pink hue and the bracken radiates a brighter than normal glow.
As the sun sets the colours become more intense.
. . . and with it the bracken seems almost on fire !
Down now at the enclosure . . .
Harry takes time out as we stop and enjoy the spectacle.
Dylan the "golden retriever ".
The light has a dramatic effect on the Wasdale Screes too . . . much different from our earlier picture at the start of the walk.
Just as you think it is fading it reaches a new intensity . . .
Scafell Pike shines like a real "pink mountain ".
'Tis fading now as we reach the road and the houses of Greendale hamlet.
. . . but the scenes are still dramatic.
In the car now and heading home
but the view in the rear view mirror encourages us to stop and get the camera out once more.
The sun has set but it continues to light up the sky . . . as we pass the signboard for Rainers Farm.
No-one can blame this colour on the nuclear industry . . . but the towers do add scale to the photo.
The sunset tonight was spectacular
and so it continued for the next half and hour or so as we drove back over the Cold Fell road
and back to Loweswater at the end of the day.

It took Super Storm Sandy to remind us how much we need our government. And how rarely we see government leaders truly cooperate.
Cooperation has been a dirty word in politics for close to two decades. But in responding to the crisis caused by Sandy, President Obama and Governor Christie showed us that political adversaries are at their best when they work together to meet our needs.
It took an environmental holocaust for this to happen. But as the pictures of destruction in state after state circulated throughout the media, no one talked about privatizing FEMA. No one complained that the government was spending too many taxpayer dollars rescuing people from death.
It was a fine way for the President to end his first term in office – one that may ultimately have won him his re-election. And also won him a new opportunity to collaborate with the states.
In the storm’s aftermath, we understand that one of the prices of having the freedom to live where we desire – Queens or Greenwich, Staten Island or the New Jersey Shore, Hoboken or New Orleans, the West Virginia mountains or the central plains – is that we must protect our living environment.
We understand that no place is safe from sudden destruction. So we need all levels of government – and they need our support – to build better flood berms, hire more first responders, and put in place pumps and sewers to get polluted water more rapidly out of streets, subways, and homes.
And to prevent such catastrophes in the future.
God only knows if Sandy itself was caused by preventable climate change. And it’s not really worth arguing anymore with people who deny what they see with their own eyes – that our weather has changed dramatically over the past few years.
What no one can deny is that we have been lax in our preparation for catastrophe. We have been lax in investing in the infrastructures needed to clean up and repair the devastation. And we have been lax in investing in the infrastructures that can prevent such catastrophic damage in the future.
This time, the crisis was in the northeast. In recent years, the central plains and gulf coast have experienced similarly horrifying environmental catastrophes.
No one knows who will be next. But we all know someone will be next.
So we need to prepare. And this means strengthening our public health infrastructure. That infrastructure:
- Prepares for and organizes our response to natural disasters.
- Makes certain we have access to emergency services.
- Handles pollution control and abatement, decreasing our negative effect on our environment.
- Enforces our building codes.
- Prevents environmental and health disasters every day.
We have let this infrastructure go during the last few years, with deadly consequences.
- Local and state health departments have lost over 55 thousand workers to budget cuts.
- In New York and New Jersey alone, over half of local health departments lost jobs due to budget cuts in 2011.
- Almost one-quarter (23%) of local health departments nationwide have reduced or eliminated emergency preparedness functions.
Robert Pestronk, Executive Director of the National Association of County and City Health Officers (NACCHO), predicted what would happen almost a year ago, when he said “at this critical juncture of dwindling funding and difficult choices, health departments are now doing less with less. Budget cuts and a declining public health workforce challenge their ability to protect the health and well-being of all people in their communities.”
How well the people of Staten Island and scores of other communities understand this now!
Despite the closeness of the election, Barack Obama has a mandate as he enters the next four years. It is to continue the bi-partisanship that served us so well at the close of the campaign season.
And governors like Chris Christie have a new mandate, too – they need to rebuild public health infrastructures in partnership with the federal government, no matter what their Congressional representatives may say or do.
As we continue to pray for our most recent victims, let us hope – for the good of all – that in the coming years our leaders heed these needs, and tackle together all the real crises that command our attention as a nation.
And let us hope that rebuilding the infrastructure that has been devastated as much by budget cuts as it was by Sandy will be at or near the top of the list.

The roller coaster that is the Chinese stock market seems to be back in full force.
Stocks in Shanghai had been in a period of relative calm so far this year, but a relatively precipitous drop of 2.7 percent this month has refocused attention on the markets.
This year, investors have been buoyed by stronger economic data — first quarter GDP growth came in at 6.9 percent, which was better than expected. Specific sectors like property and construction also got a boost after Beijing announced the creation of a new special economic zone, dubbed Xiongan New Area, in Hebei province. But, as the saying goes, what goes up must come down.
Since late last week, Shanghai stocks have been on a bit of a losing streak. Monday's drop of more than 1 percent was the worst thus far this year, and Tuesday saw an uptick that left numbers little changed. The Shanghai Composite was up about 0.3 percent by 11 a.m. SIN/HK. This recent volatility complicates government efforts to keep calm in the markets ahead of a major leadership change this fall.
Only about 10 days ago, Liu Shiyu, the chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, delivered a speech at the Shenzhen exchange, making an explicit call to maintain market stability, connecting the financial markets to politics directly.
Consultancy Eurasia Group pointed out that Liu said, "today there is no finance without politics, and no politics that does not closely watch finance," noting sensitivities around the coming change in top Communist Party brass and protecting the 100 million investors in China.
Regulators have more recently floated some modest market reforms, such as faster IPO approvals and more trading of new commodities securities. In the past, there has talk also of tackling insider trading, but given the focus on stability, major changes may again take a backseat.

ORLEANS – The town energy committee is eyeing six local sites for a wind turbine, according to a report the panel submitted to selectmen.
The energy committee started its search for turbine sites after the water commissioners vetoed putting a turbine in the watershed in September.
Two of the proposed sites are state-owned off Route 6 at the Exit 12 cloverleaf. The proposed town-owned sites are at the so-called Tonn property off Giddiah Hill Road that hosts the town’s highway maintenance garage, land south of the composting shed at the Tritown Treatment plant off Route 6A, a parcel in the south corner of the town’s landfill property and land at Orleans Elementary School.

Ballroom Marfa presents Marfa Dialogues/NY on Climate Change. The exhibition features environmentally engaged works from the 1970s to the present. It serves as an abstract documentation of the ways that humans have responded to the ecological crises of climate change with scientifically informed aesthetic practices.
Curated by Fairfax Dorn
Artists: Amy Balkin, Larry Bamburg, Agnes Denes, Hans Haacke, Donald Judd, Maya Lin, Trevor Paglen, Robert Rauschenberg
The study of climate change can be understood from one perspective as an anthropocentric reaction to changing volumes—of water, of petroleum, of particulate matter in the air—and as a confrontation of the false dialectic that is created when humans attempt to understand themselves as apart from nature. The concept of “preserving the Earth” is no longer relevant. Environmental action is largely driven by and predicated on the idea of finding ways for humans to continue to exist on this planet.
Quiet Earth, an exhibition curated by Fairfax Dorn as part of Marfa Dialogues/New York, features environmentally engaged works from the 1970s to the present. The exhibition serves as an abstract documentation of the ways that humans have responded to the ecological crises of climate change with scientifically informed aesthetic practices. Quiet Earth is about an awareness of volume: That which we create, that which we consume, and that which may, in turn, consume us.
Robert Rauschenberg’s 1970 Earth Day Poster is a waypoint that announces the codification of this awareness. Ten years later when Rauschenberg was making Gluts, the assemblages composed of artifacts from the ‘80s-era oil boom in his home state of Texas, he described them as documentation of greed and excess, or "souvenirs without nostalgia." Summer Knight Glut, a 1987 excerpt from this series, marks the effect of a surplus of a natural resource by recombining detritus from its manifestation as consumer product: it is made of gas stations.
A concurrent perspective on volume is inherent in the '80s-era Donald Judd works, architectural plans which document rain catchment systems for desert dwellings, evidence of the ways in which the artist was confronting the scarcity of water in his adopted home in the Chihuahuan Desert of Far West Texas. From the same period, documentation of Hans Haacke’s Rhine Water Purification Plant demonstrates human impact on water systems, while Agnes Denes’ 2005 large-scale Pyramids of Conscience monumentalizes humanity’s relationship with Hudson River water, New York City tap water and oil—all of which are entombed for contemplation via the "pure technology" of the artist’s pyramids.
Maya Lin’s 2011 Silver River – Hudson and 2013 Pin River – Sandy track the waterway as well as the floodplain of Hurricane Sandy across Manhattan, giving materiality to the temporal shape of flood memory. Larry Bamburg’s BurlsHoovesandShells on an Acrylic Rake features a stack of burls taken from redwood, maple, oak and other species of trees that exist on a knife-edge.
Amy Balkin’s A People’s Archive of Sinking and Melting (State: From the Majuro Declaration to COP19 Warsaw) preserves human artifacts from lands that may be lost to rising sea levels—Anvers Island, Venice, New Orleans, Tuvalu, and more—with an echo of Rauschenberg’s melancholy "souvenirs without nostalgia."
Quiet Earth ends with the work of Trevor Paglen, an artist and geographer whose recent projects imagine the overflow of humanity beyond Earth, offering a sobering perspective on the place of our species on this planet, and in the universe at large.
Ballroom Marfa will present "Art for the Third Millenium: Benign Solutions for a New World View," a talk by Agnes Denes, on November 4 at 6pm at the Rauschenberg Project Space. A series of lectures and panel discussions presented by Marfa Dialogues Program and Associate Partners will also take place throughout the exhibition. For a schedule please visit www.marfadialogues.org.
Quiet Earth has been made possible through the support of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, with generous contributions by Barclays, The Public Concern Foundation, The Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, Casey Flat Ranch, Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Ballroom Marfa members.

Following an extensive beta-test, LoadTV, a Los Angeles-based subscription platform for on-demand video on the Internet, will begin distributing its 2.0 enhanced CD May 1.
The proprietary LoadTV technology allows users to receive free video content via e-mail, while giving advertisers an individually profiled targeted audience, according to Seth Bedell, executive vice president of sales and marketing for LoadTV. Content can be viewed without buffering regardless of Internet connection or modem speed.
The LoadTV platform is also a pay-per-view business model utilizing personal information security software from Santa Clara, Calif.-based InterTrust Technologies Corp.
It allows users to store payment information on their hard drives, and grants content producers a firewall against piracy.
Revenue from any e-commerce activity is automatically distributed to the appropriate parties, according to company officials.
“A user could purchase an advertiser’s product while watching a commercial, or order a home video while watching clips from the movie,” said Edmund Fish, executive vice president and CBO for InterTrust.
Bedell cited ESPN’s Play of the Day TV spot with its ubiquitous car commercial as a typical candidate for LoadTV.
“If this [spot] was shown on [our platform], the 18-to-34-year old [targeted] woman might get the Ford Taurus commercial, and the 18-to-34-year-old [targeted] man might get the Ford Mustang commercial,” said Bedell. “[Each spot] would revolve around the same content.”
Bedell said the ECD format also allows advertisers to polybag previews, premiers and interviews with targeted print publications. n

SAN BENITO, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Cameron County sheriffs arrested a man who they say assaulted a pregnant woman after an argument over cheating and marital problems.
Jose Guerrero, 28, was taken into custody on Thursday on charges of assault of a pregnant woman, according to a news release from Cameron County Sheriff Eric Garza.
Deputies arrived in San Benito regarding a family disturbance. The woman told sheriffs her common law husband, later identified as Guerrero, was highly intoxicated and was verbally abusive towards her.
The woman and Guerrero were arguing over cheating and marriage problems, the release stated. During the argument, Guerrero began punching the woman in the face several times.
During the investigation, authorities noticed swelling, and bruising on the woman’s face. She later mentioned she was four months pregnant and feared for her safety.
According to investigators, Guerrero was seen with blood on his hands and when asked what happened he allegedly responded, “nothing happened.”
Guerrero was taken to Carrizalez-Rucker Detention Center.

5. Nibali versus Froome: FIGHT!
This is really news from yesterday, but apparently Vincenzo Nibali thought Chris Froome was responsible for causing the crash that brought him down near the finish yesterday, and piffed a bidon at him. It was all a big misunderstanding, of course, and the two later hugged it out by the team buses, but it does make you think.
For me, that thought was “Nibali would beat the shit out of Froome in a fist fight”.
Although it might look like this:
Nacer Bouhanni would be disgusted.
4. Another day of chateaux and chapels
Beautiful, but uneventful. Normandy and Bretagne. Such charming. Chalk up another win for the French Tourism Board.
3. No yellow jersey
What with Tony Martin snapping his collarbone like a twig yesterday and going home to have it bolted back together, there was no yellow jersey in the race today. Everyone knew it was Chris Froome, though. Luckily it was a day for the sprinters so Froome was able to whistle along pretending the race lead had nothing to do with him.
2. Who’s in charge?
Etixx-Quickstep and Lotto-Soudal have both lost key riders from their leadouts (Tony Martin and Greg Henderson respectively) and both teams looked a little rattled in the run into the finish. Lotto-Soudal had done a job of work (#sherliggettisms #drink) all afternoon, and eventually Giant-Alpecin came to the front for John Degenkolb’s moustache.
Another slightly dodgy leadout from Etixx-Quickstep, but it didn’t matter in the end, because…
1. Cav’s in charge!
Finally the Manx Missile managed to grab his first stage win of this Tour, with a cunning sprint up the inside to come past Andre Greipel, Peter Sagan (another podium for Oleg to savour) and John Degenkolb.
Cav lost Mark Renshaw’s wheel again, but found Alexander Kristoff’s enormous slipstream instead. When Greipel opened his sprint, Cav jumped across onto his wheel, timed his sprint late and ducked underneath to take it on the line.
Another win for Etixx-Quickstep. Cav’s 26th career Tour stage win inches him closer to second-place on the all-time list (Bernard Hinault has 28).

Realme announced Android 10 based Realme UI 1.0 last year in December, the brand has completed Android 10 based Realme UI 1.0 roll-out for almost all the eligible devices. The company started rolling out a new feature called smooth scrolling for all the eligible devices recently. Now, another new feature is making it’s way to Realme devices running Android 10, the new feature that’s being rolled out to the devices is “Multi-user” feature. Realme claimed that Android 10 based Realme UI 1.0 will be close to stock Android but despite the claims it didn’t support stock Android features such as Multi-user support, but the company is finally bringing it to devices running Realme UI.
For those unaware, the Multi-user support is a native stock Android feature that Google had introduced way back in 2014 with Android Lollipop. As per a recent post on Realme Community, Realme is finally bringing Multi-user support for the devices running Android 10 based Realme UI 1.0. With this feature, multiple user profiles can be set on a device and two or more users can share the same device. Using this feature, two or more individuals can share the device and they can have their own apps, wallpapers, and other customizations.
Additionally, the data won’t be merged across the users so the users don’t really have to worry about their personal data. If you have any Realme device running Android 10 based Realme UI 1.0, you can head over to settings and check if you already have this feature. A new user can be added from Settings –> Users & Accounts –> Multi-user –> Add user, as shown in the screenshots above. A toggle is also added in the quick setting notifications panel to quickly switch between the users.
The feature is already available for some of the devices such as Realme X2 Pro, Realme XT, and Realme X, to name a few. Realme has been constantly taking user feedback about their OS and improvising it with new features. The company is expected to announce the next iteration of its custom Android skin after Android 11 Stable update starts hitting devices.


Recovering Shared Objects Without Stable Storage

Proceedings of the 31st International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC '17) |
We apply crash-consistent quorums and crash vectors to build two storage primitives. We give a new algorithm for multi-reader multi-writer atomic registers in the DCR model that guarantees safety under all conditions and termination under a natural condition. It improves on the best prior protocol for this problem by requiring fewer rounds, fewer nodes to participate in the quorum, and a less restrictive liveness condition. We also present a more efficient single-reader, single-writer atomic set—a virtual stable storage abstraction. It can be used to lift any existing algorithm from the traditional Crash-Recovery with Stable Storage model to the DCR model. We examine a specific application, state machine replication, and show that existing diskless protocols can violate their correctness guarantees, while ours offers a general and correct solution.

From the young generation to senior, all desire to do Mount Kerinci trekking trip. Standing 3,805 meters high, it stands higher than Mount Fuji in Japan. Mount Kerinci is one of the most active and highest volcanoes in Indonesia. It is located in Kerinci Seblat National Park. In the border of Jambi Province and South Solok Regency of Sumatra.
The length of the trekking itself usually takes 2 days 1 night. A carrier is recommended to insert your needed things when trekking. Bring the essentials things and don’t leave your food and water behind.
Plan to climb Mount Kerinci? Check our customized itinerary
Stages of Mount Kerinci
There are stages that you need to go through to get to the summit. First post, second post, third post, shelter 1, shelter 2, shelter 3, and finally reach the summit. Posts are places where the forest is still dense. As Sumatran Tigers have been seen roaming around the forest here, the big trees are ideal for them to hide. It is not recommended and dangerous to have a night at the posts. However, it is safe to have a night, either in each one of the shelters. People usually make a camp in shelters 2 or 3. There are not many big trees around the shelters. This means it is hard for the Sumatran Tiger to hide in short plants.
In posts, the road is still categorized as an easy level. But you should expect a harder challenge when you want to move from each shelter. The road will be steeper, you really need lots of energy to step in every climb. Do not hesitate to ask help from your guide, a friend, and make a hard grip on the twigs or branches around you.
Mount Kerinci’s Living Being
Even though it’s hard, but along the climb, there are lots of things to be amazed at. Varies of vegetation in each stage of the mountain, the chill fresh air, and chances to see the rare or endemic animals of Sumatra. From lizard, birds, Siamang Monkeys, and Orange Leaf monkeys are often seen here. At night, be ready to be mesmerized by the stars. The beauty of sunrise and the happiness after climbing for hours will be worth it.
What To Prepare Before Mount Kerinci Trekking
Make sure to bring warm clothes as it might get windy up in the summit area. Check the weather too, as it is still an active volcano. You can also book your trip to Mount Kerinci or any part of Sumatra with us. We guarantee that your safety is number one. We have been experienced in taking lots of clients to Mount Kerinci. What might makes you shock is there are also 60-75 years old who join our tour to hike Mount Kerinci. If they can do it, so do you!
It is a great opportunity for those who want adventure and take a challenge.

- Falling interest rates, with the prospect of further cuts to come, could do more harm than good, investment bank UBS has warned.
- In a new research note, UBS questioned whether the ‘treatment is worse than the disease’, with low-interest rates having the potential to increase borrowing and artificially reinflate house prices after a prolonged correction in Sydney and Melbourne.
- With Australians already holding about twice as much debt as disposable income, the RBA is stuck “walking a tightrope” between trying to stabilise property markets and overstimulating them, according to UBS.
While the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is acutely aware of all these symptoms, its prescribed interest rates cuts could actually make things worse, according to investment bank UBS. That’s despite helping stabilise major property markets.
“While the risk of a hard landing in the housing market is less likely, we question whether the ‘treatment is worse than the disease’,” it wrote in a research note supplied to Business Insider Australia.
The official interest rate is currently set at 1% but the RBA has suggested it could cut to 0%, and even below, into negative territory.
Further cuts would mean Australians are paid less interest on their savings and deposits. It also lowers the cost of borrowing, encouraging more people to take out loans and buy property, which could have a serious impact on house prices.
“It is possible that RBA rate cuts could lead to a reflation of the housing market,” UBS wrote.
That places the central bank in a bind. On one hand, it would be damaging for the economy if house prices kept falling, further growing the number of mortgagees who owe the bank more than their asset is worth. On the other, the RBA doesn’t want to overstimulate property markets, creating a housing bubble, according to UBS.
“We believe the policymakers are walking a tightrope given Household Debt to Disposable Income is at a world high 200%,” it wrote.
By cutting rates further, the RBA runs the risk of increasing the amount of debt Australians owe. The greater the debt, the bigger the fallout if Australians then begin defaulting on their loan repayments as the economy weakens. This week, Westpac revealed the proportion of borrowers falling behind on their repayments — while still low — was rising.
More rate cuts could also help drive prices higher still. That’s despite Australia already retaining the dubious honour of being home to some of the most expensive housing in the world.
The function by which we get prices more affordable without a big economic contraction is the ongoing challenge

“The function by which we get prices more affordable without a big economic contraction is the ongoing challenge,” CoreLogic senior research analyst Cameron Kusher tweeted on Friday.
It’s one that the RBA is still trying to get right.

ppi and dpi
You are now the proud owner of both a film scanner or a digital camera and an inkjet printer. But may have wondered what is the best resolution -or pixel density- of a digitized image to allow for the production of a good print in a given size.
|Building blocks of a digital darkroom|
A printer's software translates pixels into ink dots, that's why printer's resolutions are expressed in dpi, dots per inch. How many dots per inch is a printer capable of producing on paper is a measure of its quality. In general, the more dpi, the smoother is the tonal gradation in the print, the finer the definition and the wider the color gamut.
On the other hand, a digital image from a scanner should be stated in ppi or pixels per inch. For example, specs for my Nikon CoolScan IV ED LS-40 state it is a 2900dpi scanner. Looking into the effective reading resolution with the MA-20 adapter for slides, clearance of 25.1 x 36.8mm, the scanner yields images 2,870 x 4,203 pixels in size, or 12Mpixels. Roughly the equivalent to a 6Mpixels digital camera image, as it seems from experience.
Doing calculations in the width side: 2870pixels/25.1mm = 114.3426 pixels per mm or 114.3426 pixels per mm x 25.4mm per inch = 2904 pixels per inch, approximately 2900ppi.
Calculations on the length side of the image scanned, reach the same result (4203pixelsx25.4mm per inch/36.8mm=2901ppi, pixels per inch).
So it is ppi, not dpi. This seems to be a common (translation?) mistake. My flatbed Epson scanner also talks about dpi when it should be ppi. Minolta, Hewlett Packard and other brand scanners they all make the same misuse of the term. Strange.
A CoolScan 4000 ED will yield 3,946 x 5,782 pixels from a 35mm negative or unmounted slide, or 22.8Mpixels, roughly the equivalent to a 11.4Mpixel digital camera image.
Digital images sizes from digital cameras are also stated in pixels, like VGA, 640x480.
IMAGE RESOLUTION FOR PRINTING
Minimum resolution for magazine-quality printing is 300ppi, so a VGA image of 640x480 will only allow for a decent print of 3.2 x 1.6 inches (640pixels/300ppi=2.1 inches by 480pixels/300ppi=1.6 inches). 640x480=0.3Mpixels.
If you want to make a good 8x10 print under the above standards, it will be best to have a 300ppi image with a size of 2400 by 3000 (8x300 by 10x300), a 7.2Mpixel scan. So now you know exactly the why of the quest for higher Mpixel rating from scanners (and digital cameras), even when interpolation may acceptably invent pixels where there are none.

A Slidell businessman who previously denied his participation in an alleged conspiracy to commit wire fraud against the United States has pleaded guilty in federal court and agreed to forfeit $60,000 he derived from the scheme.
The Times-Picayune reports ( http://bit.ly/ZEBxRL) 53-year-old Elton McCabe faces up to five years in prison at his August 22 sentencing hearing.
McCabe, who was vice president of a Louisiana-based company that provided construction service to the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan, was accused of awarding a project to a subcontractor, and then accepting a $60,000 loan with the promise he would give the subcontractor more work later. The contract was for work at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan in 2009.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Butler said in court Thursday that no agreement was in place that detailed how McCabe would pay back that loan.
The subcontractor gave McCabe $7,000 in cash and wired $53,000 to McCabe's wife's bank account in Slidell, court records show.
Butler said the government would have been able to prove those facts had McCabe's case gone to trial. McCabe said in court that the statements made by the U.S. Attorney's Office were correct.
As part of a plea agreement, Butler said the federal government would not seek any other federal charges against McCabe. Based on the offense level of McCabe's crime, Butler said McCabe could spend between 10 and 16 months in prison.
U.S. District Judge Nannette Jolivette Brown said she is not bound by those guidelines and will not necessarily adhere to that time just because it was mentioned in the plea agreement.
Defense attorney Valerie Jusselin said the government had not made any other plea offer to McCabe.
Brown released McCabe on bond until his sentencing hearing.

The lighter – such a common household item, widely used yet often overlooked and very underrated. Like many of the daily tools we rely on, lighters have evolved quite significantly over time from flint spark models to zippo lighters, disposable Bic lighters and now plasma lighters which are changing the game and becoming a very popular choice for everyday lighting needs.
What is a plasma lighter?
A plasma lighter is a type of electric lighter that uses an electrical arc rather than a flame to create the heat necessary to light kindling, a camping stove, candles and fireplaces. The high-voltage arc is created between two electrodes within the body of the lighter which are connected to a power source, usually a lithium-ion battery.
When you push the button on your plasma lighter, a small amount of current flows through the circuit to the electrodes where it ionizes the air particles around them. This forms an invisible plasma channel between the electrodes which can then be used as a conductor for electricity. When you bring this conducting pathway into contact with your candle wick or another object you want to light, it quickly heats up to temperatures hot enough to cause combustion.
How do plasma lighters work?
Plasma lighters work by using a high voltage arc to create heat instead of a flame. This makes them windproof, flameless, comparatively safer and environmentally friendly as there is no fuel or butane required.
Most plasma lighters will have a dual arc which means there are two electrical points that will create a spark when activated. This allows for a larger surface area to be heated up which makes it easier to light things like kindling or even a gas stove.
The battery life of plasma lighters can vary but they generally last much longer than traditional lighters as there is no open flame that needs to be maintained.
Apart from portability and reliability, there are several other benefits of using a plasma lighter such as:
- Plasma lighters are windproof: The high voltage arc is not affected by strong winds making them ideal for outdoor use.
- Plasma lighters are flameless: There is no open flame so there is less risk of burns and accidental fires.
- Safer to use: plasma lighters do not produce any toxic fumes and there is no risk of gas leaks.
- Environmentally friendly: plasma lighters are rechargeable and do not require any fuel or butane making them a more sustainable choice.
If you’re looking for a lighter that is reliable, portable and environmentally friendly, then a plasma lighter is the perfect choice for you and we’ve got them in stock now. Our plasma lighters are quick charging via USB, feature windproof pulse ignition and come with a lanyard for ultimate portability so you’ll never be caught without it. Isn’t it time to ditch your old Bic lighter and make the switch to a Generator Place GP Plasma Lighter today?

Review Summary: Still weird. Still wonderful.
Before Black Peaks, Milk Teeth, Creeper and Employed to Serve stormed through, it was Marmozets that splintered the door which opened into the revival of Brit rock. From out of seemingly nowhere, a five-piece from West Yorkshire, comprised of 2 families, with an average age just shy of 20 released “The Weird and Wonderful”
in 2014. Their ability in fusing skittish math rock with moving melodies and captivating vocals subsequently flooded the mainstream with their exhilarating adolescent charisma and provided an entry point in the mainstream for the aforementioned bands to utilise. Its spontaneity is easy to overlook but the massive influence and wild success that Marmozets’ debut album gained is clear to see.
With that in mind, the bar has not been raised for Marmozets; it’s been set. Worse still, it’s been set not only by the continuous stream of brilliant debut albums from new UK-based bands but by their own previous efforts. Success has impacted this album both positively and not so positively. Becca’s vocals take precedence over the jagged riffs and “Knowing What You Know Now”
appears with more streamlined melodies than erratic riffing and explosive breakdowns. Many songs on this album feel like the guitars and beefy bass is merely supporting the vocals rather than owning the spotlight in equal measure. Furthermore, “Knowing What You Know Now”
is not as immediately grasping as “The Weird and Wonderful”
, however, it still exudes the same level of vigour and dynamism as its predecessor and the danceable spirit Marmozets displays shows absolutely no signs of fatigue.
Essentially, this album is an accentuation of everything about “The Weird and Wonderful”
. Tracks such as “Like A Battery”, “Lost In Translation” and the grungy “Meant to Be” pry the band’s audience out of their seats and force them to start moving through twisting riffs and quirky rhythms. Numerous moments on this album show Marmozets gravitating around a raving atmosphere where the electronic elements, clapping and anthemic instrumentation gives them an extra shot of adrenaline. Listening to these songs, particularly the spirited “Play”, transports you to a live environment where you can picture flashing lights and people throwing shapes you’d have never learned at school on the dancefloor. Finally, “Run With The Rhythm” serves as a fantastic closer, capturing melodious nature, tender sentiments and freedom of expression this album perfectly with its cathartic chorus.
Nevertheless, their persistent movement from the instrumentation makes the album sound like each track blurs into one another, thankfully, it’s Becca MacIntyre’s vocals that remind us when one track ends and another starts. She establishes herself not just as the star of the album but of a generation. She snaps into shrill cries and her traditional blunt, snide cries reflexively alongside the erratic twirling guitar hooks, particularly in “Lost in Translation” and “Major System Error” however on this album she incorporates an innocent tone, attempting to reach the soprano heights of singers such as Joanna Newsom. Bjork and Kate Bush, most notably during “Insomnia”. It’s a strange approach, one that will undoubtedly confuse many and annoy a few in the process, however, moments like these Becca is using her voice as an instrument as much as her peers, a voice that matches the innocent, reflective atmosphere on “Insomnia”. Picking another singer in hard rock within the past 5 years-possibly even since 2000-who displays similar vocal range Becca does and, moreover, how she uses it so erratically on “Knowing What You Know Now”
is a challenge.
“Knowing What You Know Now”
is the sound of a band not ageing, but maturing. Marmozets have learned what makes them so successful and have incorporated those lessons into the fabric of this album to make it sound as lively as possible. Consequently, the outcome is a more stable, anthemic and, yes, mainstream sounding record. Overall, after the release of “Knowing What You Know Now”
, Marmozets is a weirder and more wonderful band.

After Saas-Fee, Zermatt has decided to close its glacier as of today, Friday 29 July. The high temperatures and the thin snowpack that fell last winter no longer allow skiers to enjoy the area. A measure that impacts tourists but especially the Ski World Cup, used to coming to train there during the summer. This is the case of the Swiss slalom team which discovered on its arrival a landscape far removed from the postcard that we make ourselves.
“It really hurts my heart to see glaciers like that. It’s really a shock“Daniel Yule couldn’t hide his emotion when he discovered the extent of the damage.”I’ve often said that during my career, glacier skiing would still exist, but obviously it happened faster than expected.”
Summer skiing on borrowed time
It must be said that the highest domain in Europe looks gloomy. “Next to the track, it’s a bit dark, that’s what’s scary and there are crevices”, describes Matteo Joris. If the Swiss slalom trainer was however surprised by the good training conditions, it was not the same with the closure of the area.
“We knew it was limited so we said to ourselves that we had to take what we could take and then we’ll see. It’s the same for everyone. I was still surprised by the good training conditions. Now it’s important to stay calm, to have a plan B in skiing or in physical condition and see how it evolves. Maybe in September, it will be cold, the glacier will regain structure and we will have great days“.
Will it still be possible to ski in summer in Zermatt? [Floriane Galaud – RTS]
But all the same: with global warming, is summer skiing doomed to disappear? “It is clear that there are reflections to be made concerning summer skiing”believes Daniel Yule. “We can maybe extend the skiing a little longer in the spring and get back on the skis a little later, maybe in September rather than at the end of July.“.
Matteo Joris abounds: “It will be more and more difficult to ski in summer on the glaciers. And for future years, it is up to us to adapt. You can change the training periods. For example, skiing a little more in the spring and deciding that we no longer ski on the glaciers in the summer to preserve them. There are also other possibilities such as indoor skiing on mats or in domes”.
Ushuaia in sight
An alternative that does not, however, replace “real” skiing. “The indoor carpet holds up well after that, it’s not the same thing. That’s not how you’re going to become world champion.” launches Tanguy Nef. The halls are even worse in terms of the ecological impact. We can also accept that nature wants to tell us something and well, we’ll ski a little less and that’s not so bad.“.
Be that as it may, the Swiss athletes will be able to catch up from mid-August in Ushuaïa where they will find winter conditions. “We are lucky, we had already planned to go to the southern hemisphere to train at the end of August so we may lose a day or two here or there but overall, the impact will not be huge“, relativizes Yule.
“We couldn’t go back there for three years because of the Covid. For us, it’s very important to go to Ushuaïa for the equipment and to make the adjustments. When we arrive at the first races, we have more info, we are more ready than if we stayed to train on the glaciers”, concludes Matteo Joris.

When summer arrives in New England and the time comes to pick your own berries, it becomes an all-day event, akin to the family trip to the seashore, or a jaunt to the town Founder's Day picnic.
Sunscreen and bug spray? Check. Water bottles and berry baskets? Check. Bright shirts with long sleeves to stay protected, most often pre-spotted with berry juice from picking trips past. A shady hat, comfy shoes, and we're headed off to the fields before the sun is over the yardarm.
Just as in the classic children's book Blueberries for Sal, the ka-plink, ka-plank, ka-plunk of the berries in the bottom of the pail is deeply satisfying. Blueberries make a twang, strawberries make a rounder thunk, while juicy blackberries and raspberries make hardly any sound at all.
Before too long the urge to sample "just one" gets the better of you, and you indulge in sneaking a nibble here and a nosh there. Lips and fingertips turn vivid red and purple-blue, giving away your secrets.
Buckets full, you weigh out and pay your fees, loading your goodies into the car. On the way home you scratch a few bites and talk about what treat you'll be making first. You'll be happily tired and in need of a bit of a pick-me-up. Nothing will fit the bill quite like our delightful Berry Tiramisu.
A departure from the classic coffee-infused dish from Italy, our Berry Tiramisu features bright citrus flavors to offset the sweetness of your berries, and is so light it won't weigh you down. Even better, the mixing and baking times are short, keeping you out of the kitchen and on the porch enjoying the sun and fun of the season.
So, wash up and let's get started.
1. Prepare your oven and pans
Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease and line with parchment two 9" square pans. If you only have round pans, you can use two 9" rounds. The layers will be slightly thicker and will take a few extra minutes of baking time.
2. Make your cake batter
6 large eggs
1 cup (198g) sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
The key to getting a light and airy sponge cake is to whip the eggs for several minutes to incorporate air and emulsify the egg's water and fats. The batter will thicken and turn pale yellow. It'll drop from the beater in a thicker stream, instead of a thin trickle like water or juice.
In a separate small bowl combine:
Whisk to make sure there are no lumps of flour or baking powder.
Sprinkle 1/3 of the dry mix over the surface of the whipped eggs, and gently whisk it in. Repeat twice more, using about 1/3 of the dry mix each time. The batter will thicken even more, and begin to look bubbly and a bit more like a sturdy foam.
3. Bake and cool the cake
Spread the batter into the prepared pans and bake for about 20 to 23 minutes. The cake will color slightly on top and begin to pull away from the sides of the pan when it's done.
Remove the cake from the oven and run a knife around the edge of the pan while it's still warm.
Place the cake on a rack to cool completely before taking it out of the pan.
4. Prepare the soaking syrup and brush the cake
In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer:
3/4 cup (170g) water
3/4 cup (149g) sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest (grated peel of 2 lemons)
1/3 to 1/2 cup (74g to 113g) lemon juice (juice of 2 lemons)
pinch of cloves
3 tablespoons (43g) Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur*
When the sugar is dissolved and the syrup is clear, strain it and set it aside to cool while you prepare the filling.
5. Make the filling
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups (454g) mascarpone cheese and 2 tablespoons freshly grated orange peel (zest). The citrus flavors are going to play beautifully with whichever berry you choose to use in your tiramisu.
Gradually pour and fold in 1 cup (227g) of heavy or whipping cream (unwhipped) until the mixture is smooth. Finally, for sweetness, stir in 1/2 cup (57g) of confectioners' sugar.
6. Build the cake
Place one cake layer down on your serving platter. Use a pastry brush to coat the cake with some of the syrup. Brush, then allow a few minutes for it to soak in. Reserve half of the syrup for the second layer. You remembered and moved the cake off the rack before soaking, right?
Place one quart of the sliced berries of your choice (single variety, or a combination) on the cake. Strawberries are a classic but blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries are all excellent.
Dollop about half of the filling evenly over the berries. I like to fill the four corners, and then place some filling in the middle. You can then spread the mounds to meet each other, and create one layer.
It's hard to resist stopping here and eating the whole thing, but try to hold off just a bit. Believe me, it's worth it.
Place the second layer of cake onto the cream, and repeat the soaking process with the second half of the syrup. Add the remaining cream filling; and finally another layer of berries.
If you prefer, you can divide the cake into serving portions and top each with an individual sliced berry, rather than garnish the entire top.
Chill the cake for at least an hour (up to overnight) before serving. This dish is best served within a day of making it; after that your cake can tend to get a little soggy.
You can make your filling and syrup two to three days ahead of time, if you wish. Then just assemble the day you plan to serve, and you'll have a sumptuous dessert with very little effort.
Best berry tidings of summer, from our kitchen to yours.
Please bake, rate, and review our recipe for Berry Tiramisu.

In their regular “In the papers” review, France 24 picked up on a The Age story from Australia “Confessions of a toilet paper hoarder”, among other stories from around the world:
IN THE PAPERS – Tuesday, 10.03.2020: Italy is on day one of a nationwide lockdown in a bid to contain COVID-19. One Italian paper asks 16 prominent figures in Milan to offer some words of hope as Italy faces what PM Giuseppe Conte calls its “darkest hour”. We look, too, at a call for world policymakers to shift to caring capitalism in response to the spread of the virus globally. And a toilet paper hoarder fesses up in Australia.

Spread the love! If you like what you are seeing, share it on social networks and let others know about The Paul McCartney Project.
Emily Jean “Emma” Stone (born November 6, 1988) is an American actress. The recipient of several accolades, including an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, and a Golden Globe Award, she was the world’s highest-paid actress in 2017. Stone appeared in Forbes Celebrity 100 in 2013 and in 2017, she was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, Stone began acting as a child, in a theater production of The Wind in the Willows in 2000. As a teenager, she relocated to Los Angeles with her mother and made her television debut in In Search of the New Partridge Family (2004), a reality show that produced only an unsold pilot. After small television roles, she made her film debut in Superbad (2007), and received positive media attention for her role in Zombieland (2009). The 2010 teen comedy Easy A was Stone’s first leading role, earning her nominations for the BAFTA Rising Star Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. This breakthrough was followed with further success in the romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) and the drama The Help (2011).
Stone gained wider recognition as Gwen Stacy in the 2012 superhero film The Amazing Spider-Man and its 2014 sequel. She went on to voice the lead female character Eep in The Croods (2013) and its 2020 sequel. Stone was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for playing a recovering drug addict in the black comedy Birdman (2014), and her Broadway debut came in a revival of the musical Cabaret (2014–2015). For her performance as an aspiring actress in the romantic musical La La Land (2016), Stone won the Academy Award for Best Actress. She portrayed Billie Jean King in the biographical sports film Battle of the Sexes (2017) and Abigail Masham in the historical comedy-drama The Favourite (2018), receiving a third Academy Award nomination for the latter. She has since starred in the Netflix dark comedy miniseries Maniac (2018) and the comedy sequel Zombieland: Double Tap (2019).
Paul McCartney had a bit of late-night fun on Friday (September 22) after his show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
McCartney not only showed up at British actor Alan Cumming’s Club Cumming in Manhattan for some post-show revelry but — sporting an “I Saw Paul McCartney In Brooklyn” jersey — hopped on stage with Cumming and actress Emma Stone to play harmonica on a rendition of “Part Of Your World” from The Little Mermaid and subsequently hit the dance floor for the rest of the night. Cumming and Stone were celebrating the release of their new film Battle of the Sexes about Billie Jean King, who was in attendance, and Bobby Riggs.
Footage of the impromptu performance has surfaced throughout the social media world.
Still in 2017, she participated to the film “One Day A Week”, narrated by Paul McCartney, to encourage people to eat less meat.
In 2018, Emma Stone appeared alongside Paul McCartney in a music video for his song “Who Cares”.

Combining a regeneration-promoting ipt gene and site-specific recombination allows a more efficient apricot transformation and the elimination of marker genes
- 224 Downloads
The presence of marker genes conferring antibiotic resistance in transgenic plants represents a serious obstacle for their public acceptance and future commercialization. In addition, their elimination may allow gene stacking by the same selection strategy. In apricot, selection using the selectable marker gene nptII, that confers resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics, is relatively effective. An attractive alternative is offered by the MAT system (multi-auto-transformation), which combines the ipt gene for positive selection with the recombinase system R/RS for removal of marker genes from transgenic cells after transformation. Transformation with an MAT vector has been attempted in the apricot cultivar ‘Helena’. Regeneration from infected leaves with Agrobacterium harboring a plasmid containing the ipt gene was significantly higher than that from non-transformed controls in a non-selective medium. In addition, transformation efficiencies were much higher than those previously reported using antibiotic selection, probably due to the integration of the regeneration-promoting ipt gene. However, the lack of an ipt expression-induced differential phenotype in apricot made difficult in detecting the marker genes excision and plants had to be evaluated at different times. PCR analysis showed that cassette excision start occurring after 6 months approximately and 1 year in culture was necessary for complete elimination of the cassette in all the transgenic lines. Excision was confirmed by Southern blot analysis. We report here for the first time in a temperate fruit tree that the MAT vector system improves regeneration and transformation efficiency and would allow complete elimination of marker genes from transgenic apricot plants by site-specific recombination.

PSL-F2 Logistics Manila tried valiantly but could not end their 2016 FIVB Women’s Club Championship campaign on a high note, succumbing to Thai club Bangkok Glass in the final match, 16-25, 23-25, 20-25 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Although for the first time in the tournament, the hosts had the apparent height advantage, Bangkok Glass showed tremendous cohesion which ultimately decided the match.
Bangkok Glass executed Thailand’s signature fast offense and steady defense to quell the import-powered hosts. Bangkok leapt to an 18-9 lead in the first, then had a 23-21 lead heading into the second frame. Mika Reyes came in at that point and scored off a block that tied the match at 23-all. But Bangkok’s Thidarat closed the match, getting a floater to convert, then blocking Lindsay Stalzer.
The third frame was close before the Thais pulled away midway, firing off five consecutive hits that gave them a 20-15 lead.
“To score 20 points contra Bangkok Glass, that’s a huge acheivement for the players. Credits to all the coaches and the players who worked hard to train. This is just the beginning even if the tournament has ended,” said PSL-F2 Logistics head coach Moro Branislav.
Jaja Santiago tallied 11 points, Lindsay Stlazer added eight, while Stephanie Niemer managed seven.
American import Ashley Frazier led Bangkok Glass with 12 points, while Thidarat Phengvechai and Thi Ngoc Hoa Nguyen each provided 11.
The PSL selection finishes in last place, while Bangkok Glass get seventh with their lone win of the tournament.

Ukraine launched the BRAVE1 defence tech cluster, a unified platform for cooperation between defence tech companies, the state and the military, as well as investors, volunteer foundations, and media, reports the press service of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. BRAVE1 is a cluster for the development of Defence Tech in Ukraine, established by the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Ministry of Defence, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Security and Defence Council, the Ministry of Strategic Industries, and the Ministry of Economy.
The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine pointed out that hundreds of Ukrainian defence tech companies are developing technological solutions that strengthen the country’s defence capabilities and save lives of military and civilians. From now on, any person, startup or company will be able to submit their idea or product to BRAVE1 and receive a grant from the state. Thus, business will get opportunities for development, and military will receive winning technologies. Companies in the defence tech industry will receive organisational and expert support for their developments, as well as access to accelerators and incubators. It is about systematic work on improving developments, increasing knowledge, creating value for investors, and mentoring.
The cluster’s work is focused on five main areas:
- Invest: Provide grants to developers who meet the needs of the Security and Defence Forces;
- Invent: To help the Security and Defence Forces find effective technological solutions among Ukrainian developers;
- Platform: To create a platform that brings together all stakeholders in the sector;
- Showcase: Interacting with the Defence Forces, demonstrating developments and receiving feedback on their use;
- Boost: Provide comprehensive support to projects that meet the needs of the Security and Defence Forces.

Database security becomes more complicated and more necessary each day.
Americans need more exercise. CARE needs more money to combat global poverty. An obvious match, right? OK, maybe not so obvious, but professional triathlete and author Eric Harr hopes to serve those two purposes with the “I Am Powerful Workout with Eric Harr.” It’s not exactly Hans and Franz, though.
A marketing or fundraising campaign can only get started with a big chunk of money to support it, right? Money doesn’t hurt, but at a recent national conference on nonprofit marketing, Dina Lewis, Allyson Kapin and Donna Wilkins offered suggestions on six ways to help a campaign, titled “Internet Marketing on a Shoestring Budget.”
One way a nonprofit organization can get free, although haphazard, publicity is the good, old public service announcement, or PSA, that appears on radio or television. This announcement can be written by the organization and submitted to the nearest media outlet for public distribution.

There are many new and exciting things happening at NPT Jobs, the source for nonprofit employment services (job postings, job seekers, resume postings, email blasts, etc.). Effective immediately, you now have three ways to advertise your nonprofit job opening:
- The International Conservation Association formerly known as World Wildlife Fund, now WWF, launched the new Conservation Island in the virtual space Second Life (SL) this past August. With its size and notoriety, WWf in Washington, D.C., has the resources to stand on its own in the SL Meta-verse. But what about smaller nonprofits with less money, branding and support?Offering an answer to the technological divide suffered by many in the third sector, nonprofit technology service provider TechSoup embarked on its own Second Life Venture – a nonprofits-only space called the Nonprofit Commons (NC).“Larger organizations…don’t need our help, because they have a huge staff and they’ve been in-world for a long time,” said Susan Tenby, online community manager at San Francisco-based TechSoup. “Our goal… is to create a lower barrier of entry… into Second Life, and to create a kind of community for nonprofits.” The NC, currently at capacity with 32 resident nonprofits, provides space free to qualifying organization.According to Tenby, known in SL as the avatar “Glitteractica Cookie,” the space provides a virtual venue for nonprofits to meet and collaborate, and foster outreach, education and fundraising. “This is more to help organizations get a foot in the door, figure out what they can do in Second Life, and have an already-existing community to step into and to get help.”Despite being situated on its own island, the American Cancer Society and other big-name nonprofits frequently partner with Techsoup, maintain satellite offices on the NC, and attend the weekly Friday meetings to discuss nonprofit-focused topics. Tenby said she wxpects the space to house 300 organizations within a couple of years.The NC has a management team of seven people, and requires residents to sign an agreement committing at least three hours each week to SL.“It’s not only a great way to increase awareness for your organization, but also to enlist volunteers,” said Tenby. “A lot of these (younger) people are so steeped in Myspace and social networking applications, that expecting them to read a newspaper to find a volunteer center, or even go (online) to volunteer match, those kind of days… they’re getting fewer and farther between.” – Marla E.
