Mainland's only new local patient infected by imported case leads to vigilance over a second outbreak: expert
By Xu Keyue and Liu Caiyu Source:Global Times Published: 2020/3/22 13:35:31
Patient linked to imported case sounds an alarm
The only new local COVID-19 infection in the Chinese mainland on Saturday was confirmed in South China's Guangdong Province, a person who was infected by someone traveling from overseas, the first of its kind in the mainland, reminding cities to raise their vigilance over imported cases to prevent a second wave of infections.
On Sunday, 46 new COVID-19 cases were reported in the mainland, 45 of which were imported, said the National Health Commission. The only new domestic transmission was confirmed in Guangzhou, Guangdong provincial health commission announced on its WeChat account on Sunday.
The patient, a 54-year-old man surnamed Jin, first displayed symptoms on March 17, feeling weak with muscle aches, but no fever. He rested at home, and was confirmed infected on March 21, local health authorities said.
According to contact tracing, Jin had been in close contact with a 34-year-old woman surnamed Lin, who had returned from Turkey on March 9. On arrival, she had passed temperature checks at the airport and was allowed to return home by car. She is reported to have mostly stayed at home and wore a mask.
Lin returned home by car and stayed there most of the time, occasionally doing activities around the home wearing a facial mask. She was confirmed to have been infected with the coronavirus on March 21. Eighteen people who had close contact with Jin have been identified and quarantined.
Guangzhou reported two other confirmed cases, one imported from the Philippines, and the other traveled from Turkey.
People entering Guangzhou from other countries and regions, including travelers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, are now required to undergo testing for COVID-19 and undergo a 14-day quarantine at home or a designated quarantine center, according to a notice from the local government on Sunday. People who continue to test negative after the quarantine period can be released.
Shanghai allows home quarantine if the person lives alone or all members of the same family need to be quarantined.
The Chinese mainland reported zero new infections for three days from March 18 to 20, while Wuhan has reported zero new infections for four consecutive days.
Meanwhile, the only new local COVID-19 patient infected by an imported case from abroad has led to worries among netizens that there may be a resurgence of the disease in the mainland.
Wuhan virologist Yang Zhanqiu told the Global Times it is unlikely the contagion will reemerge in the Chinese mainland, as entry ports have been strictly screening for possible cases of infection from abroad. However, a domestic case infected by an imported case reflects loopholes in these preventive measures and a failure to cut off these transmission channels, Yang said.
Guangdong should follow the example of Beijing by arranging for anyone coming in from overseas to be sent to designated places for quarantine, whether they have symptoms or not, rather than allowing them to undergo home quarantine, Yang suggested.
Anyone entering Beijing from abroad has to undergo quarantine at designated venues, and no home quarantine is allowed except in special cases such as people traveling with minors, the elderly and people with underlying conditions.
Wang Peiyu, a deputy head of Peking University's school of public health, warned cities in China to raise their vigilance over imported cases.
"At present, new confirmed cases of COVID-19 are mainly imported. The new case of domestic transmission related to an overseas imported case means everyone should raise their vigilance," Wang told the Global Times, noting that it should remind everyone that epidemic prevention cannot be loosened despite the improving domestic situation.
Wang said that the focus on cases in people coming from overseas has only recently become a focus of prevention and control in China, and that there may be problems in coordination between departments which could increase the possibility of infections.

Climate change, driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, threatens the natural balance of our home on Earth. Already affecting the vast majority of regions around the globe, we have observed long-term shifts in weather and temperatures outside the range of natural variations of the solar cycle. From rising sea levels to intense droughts, we must adequately and urgently address this crisis – and one quick and effective way we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions is through clean energy.
Clean energy and renewable energy are often used interchangeably, however, they have distinct meanings.
Importantly, this wording has huge implications in developing and following government policies.
Clean energy is the generation of power without negatively impacting the environment (i.e. zero-carbon energy sources) and encompasses renewable energy, nuclear power, and carbon-neutralizing technologies. The definition of renewable energy is more specific; it is power production through natural sources that are continually replenished at a faster or equal rate to its consumption. Sources of renewable energy include solar, water, wind, biomass, and geothermal power.
Yet, some forms of clean energy pose some issues. For example, abundantly used in Toronto, Ontario, nuclear power requires additional safety measures and special infrastructure for storage of spent fuel. Furthermore, many skeptics argue that many forms of renewable energy (ie. nuclear, wind, and solar) are intermittent. However, this can be mitigated through diversifying the sources of energy, using gas turbines or batteries to store energy, and expanding across geographies to capture varying weather conditions. Although the infrastructure of renewables requires financial support, raw materials, and land space, the indirect emissions are still much less carbon intensive than using fossil fuels.
Some countries are already paving the way in reducing emissions, using renewable energy and effective policies. For example, 50% of Sweden’s energy needs are fueled by renewable resources such as hydropower and bioenergy. For the last 7 years, Costa Rica has generated 98% of their electricity through hydro, wind, geothermal, solar, and biomass energy. Norway has been using hydropower since the 1800s and currently provide 98% of their electricity through a combination of hydro, thermal, and wind energy. Compared to these inspirational climate leaders, where does Canada fall on the list?
Canada currently utilizes renewables to produce 18.9% of our power. Hydroelectricity is the most important form of renewable energy in Canada, generating 59.3% of our electricity, followed by wind (3.5%) and biomass (1.4%). Quebec currently produces the highest amount of hydroelectricity out of all the provinces, with the second being British Columbia. Given Canada’s vast land space and varying geographies, there is huge opportunity to harness many sources of renewable energy with proper investment and establishment of infrastructures. Canada has implemented a new federal policy to prioritize the purchase of lower-carbon materials for construction projects, which aims to reduce half of the emissions from public and private infrastructure construction in the next decade. If provincial and municipal policies can follow, this will build a solid national foundation for continuing and enhancing these policies in the future. Moreover, the latest statement from the Canadian federal government has introduced clean energy tax credits, encouraging sustainable practices and infrastructure for clean energy sources.
Not only are our ecosystems, water supply, and food availability impacted, climate change also impacts human health. According to the World Health Organization, climate change is predicted to cause increases in deaths due to zoonoses (eg. malaria), malnutrition, heat stress, and natural disasters. Importantly, these crises will disproportionally affect low income and disadvantaged countries with less healthcare resources. Even worse, these communities are the ones that contribute the least to the driving forces of climate change, thus further widening the gap in long-standing socioeconomic and health inequalities. However, the current trajectory of climate change can still be diverted with targeted efforts to reduce the impact of human activities. Despite the concerns regarding certain clean energy technologies, research continues to advance and innovate new solutions. Coal, oil, and gas still account for over 80% of electricity around the world. Given that climate change poses a huge threat to humanity, we must continue to advocate for meaningful policies and infrastructure that can reduce harmful emissions to zero as soon as possible.
Renewable Energy Sources
Hydroelectricity harnesses the power of flowing water to spin turbines and drive an electrical generator.
Biomass refers to the generation of energy from a solid, liquid, or gaseous state of a plant or other biological materials, such as solid landfill waste, sewage, and wood waste from industrial activities.
To produce energy from the wind, the power of wind speed is used to spin turbines.
The energy from the sun can be converted to electricity as well as provide light and heat.
The heat beneath the earth’s surface can also be captured to produce geothermal energy. Research has also begun on developing technologies to utilize ocean waves to produce power.

Remember when Marina Abramović put on this extraordinary art exhibition in New York’s MoMA back in 2010? Well a few months ago Jay Z did something similar, yet totally different at the PACE Gallery in New York. He performed his new tune "Picasso Baby" over and over and over again for six hours straight to a room filled with tons of talent, from actors, artists, writers, musicians, collectors and even art critics. Have you heard about it? He sang the song face-to-face to many of the attendees in an attempt to create a personal connection and shared energy.
According to Jerry Saltz who took part in the event, the room felt electric during those six hours and he left feeling elated. Even the incredible Marina Abramović showed up to support his art and share the love. It’s hard to choose the favourite moment but for me, Sanda Gering, the lady in the white dress and rose coloured glasses stole the show. She walked up, sat down, gave a huge smile and a little shoulder dip in a flirty type of way that actually threw Jay Z off his game. That was such a wonderfully genuine moment and despite all the different opinions about the event and the heat surrounding it, I found the video incredibly refreshing and fun to watch, whether you want to call it art or not. I liked it and wish I could've grooved with the whole room that day:) You? xo

Breast implants will not last a lifetime. If you select to possess an implant, likelihood is you will need a lot more surgery down the road to remove or replace it.
Next, the U.S. president would attain out towards the British prime minister with some noticeable demonstration of solidarity: commonly, a cellphone get in touch with that may be photographed, with a readout of the call distributed to the media.
City of Hope is among just a handful of facilities from the state — and certainly one of only two in California — participating in a scientific trial of an remarkable new way to take care of breast cancer by freezing the tumor.

I have stolen the title ‘Mythology Through Literature’ from an undergraduate course my wife had the good fortune of taking — I did not have enough room for that particular course due to an overload of Latin and Greek. However, as an undergraduate I had the opportunity not only to take ‘Greek Mythology’, but ‘Homer and Virgil’ and ‘Greek Tragedy’ besides courses on Virgil’s Aeneid and Homer’s Iliad in the original languages. When I reflect on this, as well as my graduate education, the reality comes home to me time and again that our knowledge of Greek mythology comes to us through literature, and not simply compendia such as the Library of ‘Apollodorus’ — itself the greatest compendium of Greek myths. (I’d link to it, but WordPress has lost its mind.)
Of course, epic in the tradition of Hesiod can feel like a compendium, whether Hesiod’s Theogony or Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Such epics, however, are more than compendia (one might argue, in fact, that compendia are not ‘mere’ compendia, either). They, themselves, have all the artistry of more extended literary tellings of the ancient stories, whether Homer’s Odyssey or Virgil’s Aeneid. They are, themselves, literature, written in dactylic hexameters with their own beauty and structure and use of metaphor, simile, allusion.
I love Hesiod and Ovid. Nonetheless, there is a different kind of pleasure that comes from discovering myths in other poets. When I was studying Greek and Latin poetry, mythology felt as if it were hiding behind every corner. For example, reading The Iliad you encounter not even the whole tale of Troy (or Ilium), but along the way (in Book 6) you encounter the tale of Bellerophon, as recounted by characters on the battlefield. In Virgil’s Aeneid book 8, we meet what may be an Italic folktale in the story of Cacus vs Hercules. Or you sit down to read a victory ode written by Pindar for Arcesilas, King of Cyrene, for the victory of Arcesilas’ chariot in the Pythian Games (Fourth Pythian Ode), and find yourself reading about Jason and the Argonauts and the founding of Cyrene.
Another lyric poet who wrote mythological victory odes was Simonides of Ceos, who was once refused half of his pay on the grounds that Castor and Pollux should pay the other half, given how much they featured in the poem!
The most famous mythological literature of the ancients is, of course, the epics — Homer, Hesiod, and Apollonius in Greek, then Virgil, Ovid, and Statius in Latin (but also Claudian) — and the tragedies. Indeed, who can not be moved by the power and force of Aeschylus Oresteia? It is Sophocles’ telling of Oedipus that we all know, and the finish to the tale of Jason comes through Euripides’ Medea. Yet alongside the poetry, we meet mythology in an unlikely place — Plato, who barred poets from his Republic, is our main source for the myth of Atlantis in the Critias.
Ancient Greek and Latin literature is vast, spanning many centuries, from Homer in the 700s BC to Claudian in AD 400. The result of learning mythology through literature is that your Greek mythology storybook from when you were a kid is sometimes at variance with what you find. I remember one of my professors in university having given a particular version of a myth (really sorry, I forget which!!), and a friend was bent out of shape that he had ‘got it wrong.’ However, later on I discovered that he had, in fact, ‘got it right’ — there was more than one telling.
For example, how was Aphrodite born? Hesiod tells us that she was born from the foam that built up in the sea around Ouranos’ castrated genitals (Theogony 188). Homer refers to Dione as her mother (Iliad 5.370). Who is ‘right’? Hesiod even gives us conflicting accounts of Athena — daughter of Zeus and Metis, although born out of Zeus’ belly (line 887), or self-generated from Zeus’ head (line 924)?
According to ‘Apollodorus’, Athena blinded Teiresias for seeing her naked while bathing (Library 3.6.7). But another version (I forget the source!) says that Teiresias was blinded because he revealed that women enjoy sex more than men (having spent part of his life as a woman, part as a man), and Hera was angry with him for giving away her secret. Which is ‘right’?
Did Aphrodite offer Paris the most beautiful woman on earth or irresistible sexiness?
Such a list could go on.
There is much appeal to reading mythology through ancient literature — the literature itself is pleasant to enjoy. The drama of a tragedy, the glory of an epic, the terseness of a lyric poem. The beauty of it all. And, alongside it, there comes the pleasure of encountering new versions of old stories, revealing a textual and narrative playfulness with the ‘canon’ that we have difficulty grasping ourselves. Once you’ve read a book about Greek myths, there’s no better place to turn next than the ancient literature itself.

Anxieties about development in New Zealand show up in a deep-rooted fear of the ‘Third World’ in the country. We examine how the term ‘Third World’ is deployed in media discourses in economic, social and environmental contexts and how this deployment results in a ‘discursive distancing’ from anything associated with the ‘Third World’. Such distancing demonstrates a fragile national identity that struggles with the contradictions between the nation's desire to be part of the ‘First World’ of global capitalism and the growing disparities in health and wealth within it. The shadow of the ‘Third World’ prevents New Zealand from confronting the realities of its own inequities, which in turn comes in the way of a sound development agenda.

Washington is to set up a new fund that could eventually serve as a mechanism to free up Afghanistan’s frozen assets in order to promote economic stability in the country, senior US officials told CNN.
According to the officials, the Biden administration has worked with Switzerland and Afghan economists to set up this fund.
The US is moving $3.5 billion to the new “Afghan Fund,” but officials said they won’t release the money imminently because there is no trusted institution in Afghanistan to guarantee the funds will benefit the Afghan people, CNN reported.
Afghanistan’s central bank, Da Afghanistan Bank, issued a statement on Wednesday stating that it “deems any decision on allocation, using and transferring of the assets for irrelevant purposes unacceptable and wants it to be reconsidered.”
The statement notes that the assets are for the stability of currency, strengthening of the financial system and facilitating trade.
According to Turkey’s TRT news outlets, the funds will be transferred to the Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, and the U.S. will set up a trusteeship to oversee the disbursement of the money for the purposes of both monetary policy and humanitarian aid.
“The [Da Afghanistan Bank] funds belong to DAB and should be returned to Afghanistan,” said Suhail Shaheen, a spokesperson for the IEA who serves as head of the political office.
“In this critical time when 99% of Afghans are living under the poverty line, it is direly needed that the reserve[s] return to the country.”
However, a US official told CNN that transferring these funds to the Afghan central bank will depend on two key factors: responsible management of the bank and assurances that the funds will not be diverted to terrorists or criminals.
“We do not have that confidence today,” said a senior US official. At minimum the Afghan central bank will need to “demonstrate its independence from political influence and interference.”
The officials also said DAB will also need to demonstrate it has “instituted adequate anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism controls” and “complete a third party needs assessment and onboard a reputable third party monitoring,” the official explained.
CNN reported that it reviewed a letter sent to DAB this week from the US deputy secretary of the Treasury, which mapped out steps DAB needed to take. The letter cites the need for DAB to demonstrate independence from IEA influence and interference, among other expectations, CNN reported.
Earlier this year President Joe Biden signed an executive order allowing for the $7 billion in frozen assets from Afghanistan’s central bank to eventually be distributed inside the country and to potentially fund litigation brought by families of victims of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks.
Pomegranate harvest down in Kandahar
Pomegranate production has declined by 10 percent in Afghanistan’s southern Kandahar province, local officials said this week.
Drought and floods are said to be the main reasons behind the decline in pomegranate yield in Kandahar this year.
“We have pomegranate trees covering 10,000 hectares of land. Unfortunately, this year’s harvest saw a 10 percent decrease,” said Shams-ur-Rahman Musa, head of agricultural products at Kandahar agriculture department.
Meanwhile, the provincial chamber of commerce said that they have exported 13,134 tons of pomegranate so far this year.
Abdul Baqi Bina, deputy head of Kandahar Chamber of Commerce, said that pomegranate was also being transported to other provinces of the country.
Local farmers also said that drought and floods affected pomegranate production this year, but added that the demand for the fruit remains high in the market.
“Pomegranate harvest has declined this year due to drought. Hopefully it will increase next year,” said Juma Khan, a farmer in Kandahar.
“I request the Islamic Emirate’s authorities to help provide us with pesticides,” said Abdullah Jan, a farmer in Kandahar.
Food and oil prices fall in Afghanistan: IEA
The officials of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) have recently said that the price of food items and oil has decreased by 30 percent in the country.
Mohammad Yunus Mohmand, deputy head of Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment (ACCI) has said that over the past month, the price of food items and oil have decreased by 30 percent, and in the near future the prices will decrease even more.
“The prices have decreased by 20 to 30 percent and will decline further,” said Mohmand.
Akhundzada Abdul Salam Jawad, a spokesman for the Ministry of Trade and Industry, also said that the ministry has taken more measures to control prices, but they want to import enough food and non-food items into the country.
“We assure the people that before the arrival of this winter season, we have plans to reduce the basic needs, and all commodities and raw materials, Inshallah will have a significant reduction,” said Salam Jawad.
At the same time, the officials of ACCI have further said that the decrease in food prices in the world has had a positive effect on food prices in Afghanistan.
However, the high level of poverty has caused the country’s residents to not be able to buy the materials they need, therefore, they call on the government to pay serious attention to the price of raw materials so that the rates do not rise again.
“Until yesterday, a can of oil was 1900 afghanis, today it has reached 1700 afghanis,” said a shopkeeper.
On the other hand, the price of oil products has also declined, and a number of sellers express hope that the price of oil and gas will decrease further.
“Previously, the price of diesel per liter was 100 afghanis, now it is 97 afghanis. Gasoline was 80 afghanis, now it is 78 afghanis,” said an oil seller.
This reduction in price of food items and oil come while recently the Ministry of Industry and Trade has signed a contract with Russia for the purchase of millions of tons of food and petroleum products, which according to experts, the prices will drop significantly when these products are imported.
IEA in talks with Russian, Chinese businessmen on investment in Afghanistan
Officials of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) are in talks with Russian and Chinese and Arab businessmen over the possibility of investment in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce said this week.
“We are in talks with big businessmen of Russia, China and Arab countries on investment in Afghanistan. We will make it public once we reach agreement,” said Khanzada Abdul Salam Jawad, a spokesman for the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
According to the official, more than 100 business licenses were distributed to foreign nationals during the past one year.
Meanwhile, members of the private sector welcome efforts to attract foreign investment in Afghanistan.
“I think there is interest in investment in Afghanistan. There are political problems. They (investors) will consider political issues, banking issues, and transfer of money. There can be no other excuses. The laws are the same as in the past. The laws are easy and clear,” said Khanjan Alokozay, a member of Chamber of Commerce and Investment.
Economic experts call on IEA to maintain positive and constructive engagement with countries in order to help the economic development of Afghanistan.

Galway City Council is being urged to suspend all charges for outdoor seating at restaurants, pubs, and cafés to support the hospitality sector.
Councillor Alan Cheevers has said the council should freeze the outdoor seating licence fee to support the hospitality sector when Covid-19 restrictions start lifting.
There has been deep concern expressed by businesses across the hospitality sector that social distancing restrictions will make it economically nonviable to full reopen, even as the country’s lockdown restrictions are lifted over the summer.
Café and restaurants will currently not be allowed to reopen until Phase 3 of the government’s roadmap out of the Covid-19 crisis, which is set to begin on June 29.
Pubs will not be allowed to reopen until August 10, Phase 5 of the roadmap, though publicans have warned that this will put many pubs out of business permanently.
They have asked the government to consider letting them reopen at the end of June, and the same time as other hospitality businesses.
“It is going to be very challenging with social distancing for this sector as businesses start to open and the outdoor extra seating will be important part of this to create revenue.” Alan Cheevers said.
Suspending outdoor seating charges is just one of many measures that will be needed to s
“These businesses are vital to the tourism industry in the city. At present many in the hospitality sector in city have expressed concern on the viability of opening with the social distance restrictions measures that will be implemented.
“I believe suspending the outdoor Licence fee until end of year will be a start and helpful. I am also asking the city council to credit businesses for next year who may already have payed.”
Cities across Europe and elsewhere are adopting innovative measures to try and support businesses which will still be operating under social distancing for the foreseeable future.
Many are considering pedestrianising streets and turning them over to outdoor seating for struggling restaurants, such as the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, which has turned many city centre streets over the pedestrians and businesses.

Samsung has inked a deal with fellow Korean phone maker Pantech for an equity stake in the company.
In a statement on Wednesday, Samsung confirmed an earlier report from Yonhap News, saying that it has acquired a 10 percent stake in Pantech for $48 million. The company said that the investment is designed solely to enhance the relationship between the firms.
As expected, the move has raised some eyebrows in Korea, where Samsung and Pantech are competing most heavily in the mobile device market. Elsewhere around the world, Pantech's devices are decidedly second- or third-tier and don't amount to much competition for Samsung.
In a statement to The Next Web, however, Samsung shied away from talk of its competition with Pantech, saying instead that the deal really has more to do with the internal mobile components it sells to Pantech for the company's devices.
With the investment, Samsung is now the third-largest shareholder in Pantech behind Qualcomm and Korea Development Bank.

I was going through my files and came across this painted work that was done before last summer. I don’t know that I’ve ever posted it so I thought I’d put it up before it got deleted to make space for something else.
I call it “Elephant Girl” and it’s a depiction of a female warrior with bow riding her trusted beast through the marsh of some fantasy time unknown and long since gone.
My spouse told me that the elephant creature looks somewhat evil….I won’t disagree with that. Also sorry for the wash-out effect on the right side. That happens a lot.
New post for an art project I’m beginning. This is the 1st sketch for a vehicle I’m calling a bullet shuttle and it will be included in a painting that I hope will come out well because I will be attempting new ground here. Actually it will be 3 paintings with 2 smaller ones that will be companions to the first & larger one. The 2 smaller works will show close up detail of what the larger one will hint at and would be something you could see if you could zoom in.
Since this concept work involves a little more study then I usually do I may include some detailed plans of what I think would be the engineered diagram of what a “bullet shuttle” would have blueprints for. The barrel thrusters shown in the sketch were borrowed from the vehicle of a space western that was shown for a short time on tv. Since this type of project is new to me it may take a little longer to finish. I do have other art ideas that I want to get out so those may show up first before this one has been completed. I hope not to post it until I am totally happy with the work but sometime my eagerness to post gets the better of me.
Anyway here’s the sketch…..
Did a little update edit to show some scale-Bruce

Good morning CA Critiques and WIP forum. Just putting up an update of a WIP that I’m working on. Here’s a portion of a painting that I began not to long ago. Progress is slow because I’m only able to work on it a little at a time and I have another painting that I’m working on at the same time.
Anyhow, it will be completed at some point and I thought I’d add this part since the sketch work was posted above.
I call this a Bullet Shuttle and it is a vehicle used by a division of the C.O.P.S. agency (Coalition Of Planet States). The idea is that in humankinds not to distant future we have become advanced enough to leave our small world and venture out to the nearby planets and moons. This has not only been accomplished by governments but also by the private sector. The problem is that corporations have been staking claim to vast amounts of “off Earth” property. Claims have already been filed on several of the moons off of Jupiter even before it is known if their solar mass contains anything of value. Laws have been passed and the COPS bureau was born. Their job…… to govern and control what happens to new worlds that humankind has landed on. No single moon or planet can be owned by one company. Each moon has to be divided up into at least three sectors, with the GGB ( Global Governing Body) having rights to at least one section.
I know this is more definition than is usually posted with and art creation but I just wanted to add the frame of mind that I am approaching this work from.
Hope that you like the idea, Bruce

It wasn’t always this way. Gaylord Prison used to a nice peaceful institution. The guards at one time were able to abuse and misuse inmates at will…… then he came and now things have changed.
Farley was a cop, or used to be. He was sent here to the pen for abuses proven he’d committed in the “Red Light” district.
Unknown to the system Farley had a secret. He’d been bitten by one of the small town girls that had walked the streets for a living. This was no ordinary girl. She was of the living dead . Now Charlie Farley is diseased and in the population. The prison population. Charlie’s curse spread like a virus. The inmates were lucky, so to say….they were only bitten. The guards were devoured. And Warden Tom? He won’t be seen anymore. Someone made a coffee table out of his bones in woodshop.
Now Charlie’s getting out. Why is there no one to greet him? That’s Ok….he knows where you live and he’s ready for supper.
I know this is a little morbid……but hey Halloween is this month!!
Painting that I’m working on for Halloween. It’s partly painted, partly computer generated so it qualifies as a wip. Sometimes it’s what you don’t see that is the most frightening of all.
Started before ZombieLand, which I’ve seen.
“ We have the stay at the best house in LA. &%$#@ house.”
Geezz, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here. I’m finally getting serious about a project again and I hope to be able to complete it soon. Haven’t really thought of a name yet, but suffice to say that it’s was inspired by the last Terminator movie.
Maybe not the best of the group but it certainly had it’s share of awesome FX. I was struck by the Terminator that was chasing Kyle Reese and the others in downtown LA. How would you like to wake up one night and find that thing looking down at cha?
Anyway, here’s part of a wip I’m working on for a painting. Like always I hope to get it done quickly but I never know if that will happen. Take a look and I’m open to suggestions. Also, this will be somewhat of a dark painting. I’m mapping out the darks and lights strictly on the computer, something I haven’t done before. Crits are welcome, hope you like……
Howdy CA wip thread. Pasting up a new image that I’m working on. Pardon the quality…..the pencil work was to big for my scanner so I had to use the digital camera and capture the image outside. Measures about 12x18 inches and has a lot more detail than the image shown. Anyway, just an idea that I thought I’d toy with….hope folk enjoy the concept….BP
Placing up a new pencil work before the year runs out. Trying to knock a little of the rust off my drawing hand before continuing on to next year. Hope everyone has a happy holiday season and stays safe. Ok, on to a little work idea that came to me a few days ago. A little humorous pencil I hope will put a smile on the face of anyone who views it. Lets hope that 2011 is a great year, see ya, BP……
************************************************** ******Stunt Witch - With the economy the way it was, hard times were being felt by everyone. Even the “Spell Casters” were having a ruff time making ends meet. Wilda the witch was no exception. She applied for a job on the new Joss Whedon television series “ Fluffy the Witch Slayer” and got it. Things are looking better, and that new toad cook pot she’s been wanting is now within financial reach…..
Sort of a mini dump. A few pencils I’ve been playing with over the past couple weeks. Trying to keep the old brain cells from freezing. First up “Trails End”…..the next two…just a couple of pencil works for a bigger image I’m thinking of doing.
Started a new wips project so I’m postin up what’s been done so far. Space dude, not really a subject I haven’t experimented with already. Anyway, below is a pencil/computer wip that I may attempt to work into a painting later on. Got a couple other ideas as well. Just depends on what happens…..hope that you like the idea. Post any comments favorable or not….see ya!
Your lighting is rather random in most of your pieces, I think you really need to look up some references for that and perhaps do a few real life/still life studies. Your work has some kind of charm to it otherwise though, it's good, but it could be quite a bit better still. Keep working and studying!
Thanks for coming in & posting up! I will say that I have had comments about anatomy issues come my way ( all noted and I do agree with) but this is the first time I’ve had a post about lighting. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I’ll go back and take a look and see if I can figure out what I’m doing wrong.
If I can say one thing that may have caused me to neglect either LIGHTING or ANATOMY, and that is, when I sit down to do a work piece I automatically begin thinking of the emotion and drama. I try to get it as interesting as I can, so you are right….I do need to keep working, practicing and studying.
One thing I do not have an abundance of is TIME. I try to squeeze in a few pencils or CG in when I can. This year I hope to not be as lazy as I have been in the past and get my butt in gear so that I can achieve those improvements.
Thanks again for your post. I will certainly concentrate on trying to get better way of checking my light sources.
Btw: you’re got some really good-looking work here on CA. Some really good images.
I love the universes you paint, they're really cool. I have quite a few old novel covers in a similar style and I love 50's SF. It's a wonder you get so few comments. Sometimes the anatomy's a little off but you'll get there. Also I gotta to say that's it's quite nice that you seem to care for the story behind the painting, this is too often overlooked. Great work man keep it up
Thanks for your very uplifting post. I really appreciate your comments. It’s always good to see somebody that enjoys the older Si/Fi & horror ( books, magazines & film) works of the masters of the past. To me those folk really expressed a love for what they were doing. At the same time there are sooooo…..many very good artists here too.
I always enjoy walking into comic book or used book stores. There’s actually a certain smell to a place like that……..smells like adventure! Reading a great book or magazine can take you someplace ( or seeing a good movie) . The artwork can help with the adventure. Maybe I’m just expressing my age……ha…ha…..but that’s how I see it.
Anyway, I’m glad that you like the little stories that I add along with the pics I post up. I believe everyone who creates has a story to tell, and it is my belief that the artwork should explain a little about what the creator was intending when they made it. Kinda like when you flip over an old paperback book and read the back cover.
Folks that create art can always take something old, add something fresh, and make a new idea out of it. Just an opinion of mine. The creative venture (from start to finish) is always fun for me. Especially if it turns out the way I envisioned. Which happens less than I’d like it to.
Anyway, thanks again for the nice post. I’m always ready to talk shop!
Corporal Callahan was a restless soul. On his days off he preferred doing a little hunting instead of playing cards or drinking down at the local watering hole the “Purple Grotto“. What kind of hunting did Corporal Callahan enjoy doing? Well, planet hunting as to say. Today he was going to Gleise 581-G, a little out-of -the -way world which had been explored very little. He took his trusty “Hornet 13” and landed somewhere in the planet’s swampy southern hemisphere. What will he fine? Who knows, but he’s there and looking for adventure……I’m sure he’ll find some.
This is an idea which I have posted the first digital pic to up above. It has plenty of issues that I’m sure everyone can see. I’ve been working a lot lately. More than I thought I’d have to before starting this CCSE project. That looks as if it is going to continue for a while. After a couple of days off I will be working for the next 21 days straight so that will leave me little time to update this digital work for a while.
Anyway CC, opinions & any advise anyone would like to offer, as always is welcomed.
Just playing around a bit with this art idea. I’m considering actually making an acrylic painting outta this guy. Then maybe that won’t happen either, I will just have to see if time allows.
Anyway, threw a bunch of new crap in there, but the digital work leaves a lot to be desired. My computer is old, about as old as I am…..well maybe not that old!
So, Ok! Here’s what I’ve got so far……I feel the composition is good, as for the lighting and color…..those I have to work on. If you’ve got any suggestions shoot them my way, I’d enjoy hearing any ideas. That’s about it for now.
I think perhaps the shading on the alien(?) could use a little work, the really intense shadows on it don't seem to be really reflected in the rest of the work. Also, perhaps adding a little more of the yellow-green you have in the environment to the main figures may make the work seem a little more 'together' because they look a bit disjointed. I'd really love to see you take on some more compositionally challenging pieces too - in most of your work the figures are in the centre of the canvas, maybe try leading the eye around a little more =)
Thanks for coming by and posting up. Actually you are very correct. This digital work was put together kinda piecemeal ( I would work on one thing then add it into the main picture) guess that’s why it looks so disjointed. Since each subject was worked on separately , on a white background, it kinda took on it’s own color & values. When I added them together instead of complementing each other and blending in as one solid arraignment they more or less took on an individual existence.
Corporal Callahan’s flight suit is really a lot less greenish looking in the original detailed work ( posted above) and the Mother Alien was just an afterthought I stuck in just for the fun of it. It wasn’t in my original idea.
Anyway, since this is a digital work ( I am experimenting more with computerized art creations now) I felt I could easily remove anything later that I didn’t like.
Also the art program that I’m using is quite the dinosaur. After a few saves I start getting this “Striping” effect which I absolutely loath but can do noting about. Guess I need to defrag my computer.
Thanks very much for your input. It is noted and appreciated.

Happy Tuesday… Happy Pi Day… yes, March 14… or 3.14… get it? And just so we all feel like we’re back in school again… Pi is is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of any Euclidean circle’s circumference to its diameter. [From the Smithsonian Magazine: I am Pi: Thoughts on the Ratio of the Circumference of a Circle to Its Diameter.]
Excellence.gov Award winners… Yesterday, I got to emcee the American Council on Technology and the Industry Advisory Council’s annual Excellence.gov awards. Some GREAT stuff… and some great programs being recognized. We’ll tell you about them over the next few days. But the big winner — the big prize — goes to a State Department program… Integrated Logistics Management System (ILMS). The State Department, as you know, has embassies and consulates all around the world. And how did they order all the stuff they need before? Yes — paper. The Integrated Logistics Management System has transitioned the State Department from a largely paper-based organization to the leading edge of supply chain technology. The solution is an efficient, accountable and measurable way to support the State Department’s complex, worldwide supply chain–the procurement, storage, shipment, tracking and tracing of supplies and personal effects around the globe. It is now fully deployed domestically and at 245 overseas posts in 175 countries. Congratulations to all of the nominees — it was an impressive group. I was thrilled to be a part of it. The Defense Department CIO Terri Takai was our keynote speaker and she did an amazing job talking about what is possible. So… thanks for the invite. As I say, we’ll talk about other winners in the days ahead.
On today’s program…
- Technology in the courts… We often talk about technology in the executive branch… even in the legislative branch, but there are three branches of government, and we’re going to look at the impact technology has on the courts.
- Setting your career plan: How do you make sure you’re the right career path. Frank DiGiammarino is going to give us an overview of his career framework — the first in a series of conversations with Frank.
- And government mobility — and how to do that effectively.
All that ahead..
But after the break… we start with the stories that impact your life for Pi Day — Wednesday the 14th of March, 2012… your government world in 120-seconds…
- The Office of Personnel Management is ending it’s Results-Only-Work-Environment pilot program.Federal Times says the pilot allowed about 400 OPM employees to decide on their own when and where they would work. OPM launched ROWE in June 2010, and Director John Berry hoped it would radically overhaul the federal government’s workplace culture. But Berry says the program has had mixed results. Berry said there wasn’t a big shift in participants’ work product, but supervisors hadn’t laid out their expectations clearly enough and had problems managing the employees from afar. He said OPM didn’t train them well enough at the beginning of the program. [I spoke with the creator of the Results Only Work Environment. Hear that here.]
- Congress is still not popular. A new poll from the Washington Post finds Congress remains deeply unpopular with the American public. But the poll finds that Democrats fair better than Republicans. One-third of Americans approve of the way congressional Democrats are doing their jobs, compared with a 23-percent approval rating for Republicans.
- The federal deficit is bigger than expected, according to the Congressional Budget Office. It’s more bad news for the federal deficit. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the 2012 fiscal year deficit will be $93 billion larger than expected, to the tune of $1.2 trillion. National Journal says the increase is due almost entirely to the cost of the payroll tax cut. The CBO says the 10-year deficit accumulated by 2022 will fall by $186 billion.
- Gov 2.0 thought leader Justin Herman is joining government. Herman will be joining the General Services Administration’s. He’ll be the social media lead in GSA’s Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies at the Center for Excellence in Digital Government. TechPresident says Herman is currently an open government consultant at the Phase One Consulting Group. He starts at the end of the month.
- First there was the Peace Corps, and then Tech-For-America, now there’s FEMA Corps. FEMA is partnering with AmeriCorps to create the new unit to send young adults to disaster response and recovery efforts for 10 months to two years. They said it could save $60 million a year. The five-year agreement is open to 1,600 members a year.
- It’s a sign of the times. After 244 years, Encyclopedia Britannica will stop production of its multi-volume book sets. CNN Money says, starting in 2013 the company will focus solely on its digital encyclopedia and education tools.
- And over on GovLoop… March Madness. Have you filled out your NCAA March Madness Bracket yet? If you haven’t you better hurray up. Today’s the last day. And one GovLooper, Paul Binkley, says you should pick your new career the same way you pick teams to head to the final four….with your gut. Its a fascinating article and its sparking a lot of discussion on our site. So head over to our homepage and check it out. And we’ll talk about brackets later on in the program.
Technology has had an enormous impact on government — and we often discuss the impact on agencies… even on legislators… but what about the courts? Yes, that branch of government is seeing big impacts too. Professor Karen Eltis is the author of a new book, Courts, Litigants and the Digital Age. She says judges are “freaked out about by technology,” and the must decide how Google, Wikipedia and other internet sources can be used by lawyers and judges. Professor Eltis told me what spurred her to write this book.
Frank’s Career Corner
The mantra for the DorobekINSIDER can be found in six words — you hear me talk about them all the time: Help you do your job better. One of the ways we will to do that is to help you further your carer. And if you’ve been to GovLoop’s Next Generation Leadership conference, you may have heard Frank DiGiammarino talk about his career framework — and it really blows people away. Frank has lead a well-rounded government career working across all levels: local, state, federal via private consulting firms, non-profit organizations and federal government itself. He has kindly agreed to join us every other Wednesday to help you chart your career path. We will lay out this framework over the next few weeks. But we start with an overview… and I asked him how he came up with this framework.
Tom Fox, vice President for Leadership and Innovation at PPS.
Whether it is the new iPad or your smartphone, people have access to a remarkable amount of technology. And the government is looking to provide information anywhere — both for citizens AND for government workers. But there are implications — and challenges.
Before we finish… a few closing items…
The Securities and Exchange Commission has charged a group of five individuals with insider-trading. The group allegedly scored more than $1.8 million in illicit profits on tips gleaned after an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. The Wall Street Journal says Timothy McGee, a financial adviser at Ameriprise Financial Services, is accused of illegally trading in the stock of Philadelphia Consolidated Holding Corp. based on nonpublic information about the company’s pending merger. McGee obtained the inside information from a senior Philadelphia Consolidated executive who confided after an AA meeting that pressure over the merger was leading him to drink. McGee shared the information with a co-worker and family members.
And this isn’t government related, but… if everybody is focused on March Madness… They estimate that 45 percent of Americans will fill out their brackets this year — and yes, that is more people then voted in the 2010 midterm elections. But did you know how the brackets got their start? Chess. Yes, a chess tournament. An interesting piece in Slate that has the history of brackets. They started in the mid-1800s. One of the first single-elimination tournaments was in London… 1851… a chess tournament. No, they weren’t the kind of brackets that we see today, but… The oldest, ongoing single elimination competition… Wimbledon tennis… dates back to 1877, Slate says.
Meanwhile, amid all the focus on the sport in college, sometimes education gets overlooked. The Washington Post has a story about the bracket based on graduation rates. The coach at Virginia Commonwealth University actually gets paid extra money when his players graduate. And for those paying attention to this bracket… Notre Dame does well; UConn, not so great.
Who (Or What’s) Best at Predicting March Madness Winners? Maybe crowdsourcing your picks? Some computer algorithm — IBM’s Watson, maybe? Fast Company finds what we probably already knew… There’s no foolproof method to sports prediction, no matter how knowledgable the human, or how advanced the algorithm. The Wall Street Journal offers up its blindfold approach to the brackets.
The New York Times writes about What Your N.C.A.A. Tournament Bracket Says About You.
And finally, not to be outdone, Foreign Policy has its brackets — its Democrats vs Dictators 2012… a bracket of whether democracy or tyrants will come out on top. And in the first round for democracy… it’s President Obama going against French president Nicholas Sarkozey… while for the dictators, it is the leaders in Egypt up against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad.
OH — and to check out Paul Brinkley’s piece on GovLoop comparing how you pick your NCAA brackets… to how you pick your job.
And a delightful book: The Enlightened Bracketologist: The Final Four of Everything

ABMS News Release (12/11/19) Knight, Clif
American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) Senior Vice President for Education Clif Knight, MD, CPE, FAAFP, discusses his organization's partnership with the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM). He writes that AAFP aims to help members gain clinical expertise by providing "broad scope, [and] personalized learning opportunities for members through relevant educational venues and formats." ABFM this year launched the Family Medicine Certification Longitudinal Assessment, a pilot option offering a longitudinal approach to knowledge assessment, as a substitute for the board's proctored exam. Knight also cites infrastructure for concurrently approving AAFP-accredited continuing medical education activities as ABFM-accredited performance improvement activities when the sponsoring organization claims to meet required criteria. "We believe that regular, frequent communication and collaboration between AAFP and ABFM allows both organizations to more effectively meet the needs and expectations of our shared family physician constituency and promote the specialty of Family Medicine in order to improve the health of individuals, families, and communities," he concludes.


iPod and Other MP3 Player Tips
MP3 players (like iPods) aren't just for music anymore. These days, you can download podcasts, watch TV shows and movies, and even let Rick Steves guide you though the sights of Paris, London, Rome, and more with our audio tours.
What are your favorite tips for using an MP3 player as you travel?
- Please don't post questions here. Use our Travelers Helpline.
GPS on an iPod Touch
After a lot of trial and error with my iPod Touch over the past 12 months, I think I've finally figured out how to do it. It's an almost unknown feature, Apple doesn't have any documentation on it, and I've been unable to locate any unofficial info about it either.
This will only work when walking around in a city, it won't work as well in a car. I've only tested it with my iPod Touch but it should also work with a WiFi only iPad.
This is what you do:
1. Before you leave for your trip you'll need to install an offline mapping app like "CityMaps2Go". You need offline maps because you will not actually be connecting to the internet while you are doing your sightseeing.
2. When you arrive in a new city you'll have to find a hotpot (hotel, Mcdonalds, Starbucks etc) and connect to the internet. This is the one and only time you need an internet connection.
3. Open either the built-in Apple "Map" app, or the Google Maps app, and open-up the "directions" option. Now enter any two points in the city, like from the train station to your hotel, or between any other two points of interest. After the app gives you directions the device will automatically load a database, from Apple, of all Wifi hotpots in the entire city! That database will now reside in the memory of the iPod Touch even after you exit Google Maps, and until you reboot the device. Any other app that uses the location service can now access that database.
4. At this point you no longer need to be connected to the internet, but the device must still be in Wifi mode. As you are walking around the city the device will be detecting Wifi hotpots (but not connecting to them), the device reads the hotpots MAC serial numbers and in the background looks up the hotspot's coordinates off the database, and is able to determine and show your exact location anywhere you are in the city with an offline map app like CityMaps2Go.
I've now used this feature successfully in Budapest, London, Manhattan, Toronto, and last week in Amsterdam and Hamburg. It's very accurate, determines your location in milliseconds, and I haven't come across in gaps in coverage.
New Paltz, NY USA 09/26/2013
Data and Photography
For data, I sometimes splurge and buy 300MB of data from ATT&T ($60). This let's me use maps and Yelp when wandering. They also have a $30 plan for $120. Just remember to turn of the data when you return home as it's a monthly recurring charge.
I've stopped carrying a dedicated camera and now use my iPhone 5 exclusively and get fantastic results. I attach my iPhone to a Joby tripod using the very cool Glif attachment (from Studio Neat), then print my photos using the FreePrints app.
Los Angeles, CA USA 08/02/2013
iHome compact speakers -GREAT!
Bought some external speakers for my iPad2 at Costco. IHome compact speakers for $40. They are lightweight and come with their own drawstring pouch. We take the ipad to watch movies in our hotel room at night, and these speakers certainly help with the experience. They pack easily in a pair of shoes in my carry on, so they don't take up much space. They weight is basically nothing, but the sound is great. Very useful with my iphone or ipad to play some music as well in the noisy hotel rooms at night.
homesick for anywhere in Italy, USA 03/14/2013
Google Calendar and Spotify
I am going to Ireland in a couple days, and I have an iPhone. Using Google Calendar, I have set input all set times for tours, bus times, etc. and can access it from my phone. It pays off when you want to print something out, because it's all in the interwebs so you can access google calendar from anywhere (so long as you have gmail). You need internet to have an iPhone-created event go to your computer calendar, but wifi is easily accessible.
Also, I use Spotify and they give you a 30-day free trial. I'll be starting that tonight, and take all my playlists offline so I can listen to them in the air, without wifi, etc. Also will have the option to listen to something other than radio.
Northport, NY USA 01/05/2013
Rick Steves' Veloce Bag for iPad plus REI Camera Strap We were pleased with the Steves' bag, and especially the ability to expand the bag, but the strap would not stay on my husband's shoulder. We bought a Camera Strap from REI which has a rubber backing at the shoulder to hold the bag on the shoulder and steel CABLES within the straps. Much better security from a knife-wielding thief.
Weston, MA USA 10/23/2012
iPad - Just Say "Yes"
Last year, I travelled to London and Paris and my iPad was with me every step of the way. At JFK (and again Heathrow), it did not have to be taken out of my carry-on bag as it is not considered a computer so there is no scramble to get it back into the bag. By going on Amazon and purchasing a small adapter, I was able to transfer the day's photos to my iPad at night. With hotel WiFi, I was posting them on Facebook, Twitter and e-mailing them (sure beats postcards!). On a long bus ride (to Oxford, and then to see Stonehenge), I had my iPad charged and past the hours reading (you can download Rick's travel guides if you want to be prepared). Also, with headphones, my iPad did double duty as a iPod (for a little musical interlude). And there was a nifty currency converter I found as well.
This year I am going on RS' Best of Europe tour and from France, through Germany, Switzerland and Italy, my iPad will be with me again.
New York, NY USA 08/09/2012
Multiple listeners to podcasts
Get a splitter so you can have two audio hook-ups on a lone player. The person carrying the player can be hard wired. Buy a Bluetooth device for the second person to roam freely while listening to the same podcast. All parts are available at any consumer electronics store.
Phoenix, AZ USA 07/21/2012
Kindle Fire / Ireland?
Can anyone tell me if they've used a Kindle Fire ind Ireland. I thought it would be a great purchase for our upcoming trip, yet I've read the "Fire" is not a good option.
Denver, Co. USA 04/21/2012

NAB 2019: NETINT Talks High-Density H.265 Encoding
Jan Ozer: I'm here today with NETINT Technologies. Ray Adensamer who's got here at the show a very high-density H.264 and HEVC encoder that he's going to tell us about.
Ray Adensamer: Yeah, hi Jan, how are you?
Jan Ozer: I'm good, how are you? So tell us about this new product. What's the name, and what's it do?
Ray Adensamer: So our new product is the Codensity T400 video transcoder, and it brings three things together in a unique packaging. So first off is this ASIC-based encoding and decoding that gives us very, very high-density, 4Kp60 throughput, or up to eight sessions of 1080p H264/H265 transcoding. The second thing we've done is we've packaged this into a U.2 form factor, most people looking at this would say it looks like an SSD drive and in fact that's the technology it's based on. It's an NVMe interface designed to go into storage servers. And the third thing we do is we package that with an FFmpeg integration so anybody using FFmpeg port flows can quickly benefit from the densities that we can offer in this unit.
Jan Ozer: So who is the target customer and what are they going to use it for?
Ray Adensamer: Target customer would be anyone that needs to do large encoding at scale, right? So it could be live video streaming companies, it could be a CDN or cloud or edge computing company or even media companies themselves. We could package this up as capex deal or we're even discussing with some customers to do transcoding as a service.
Jan Ozer: Okay, the typical knock against hardware-based encoding has always been quality is basically lower than what you get with FFmpeg. What are you seeing in terms of quality?
Ray Adensamer: Yep. Fair comment. Our quality level has been tested by some of our customers and they've been pleasantly surprised by the quality levels that we can get with this. We currently tell customers we can do x265 medium in that range.
Jan Ozer: And that's real-time.
Ray Adensamer: And that's real-time. And that's the key to this is we're trying to address the market, the long tail, that 80% of that user-generated content that really needs to do these encoding ladders at scale in a high volume.
Jan Ozer: Okay, and tell me about the density of this unit again? Get a bit more specific, so how many inputs and outputs can I get from a single device?
Ray Adensamer: So, it's 4Kp60 throughput, and with that you can slice and dice it in a variety of ways. So for example, we can do eight sessions of 1080p H.264 coming in and transcode it to eight sessions of--
Jan Ozer: When you say 4Kp60, what are my outputs from that?
Ray Adensamer: So it could be 4Kp60 out, or it could be an encoding ladder. I think most of our customers would use this to generate encoding ladders. So, typically you could have four 1080ps coming in, and then you can do eight step encoding ladder for each one. 32 streams going out.
Jan Ozer: Okay, and what are you saying about the retail price?
Ray Adensamer: Retail price is U.S. $2,500, and when you model that economics out it's very, very cost-effective to any of the software encoding on compute or even GPU or FPGA accelerator options that are out there on the market.
Jan Ozer: Okay, and I know the product is just shipping, do you have any customers yet?
Ray Adensamer: Yeah, one of our notable customers that we announced just before the show is Wangsu. Wangsu is a very, very large CDN and data center operator based out of China and they've been doing extensive testing with our product for a number of months already and they were pleasantly surprised by the encoding quality. With our product they're doing better encoding than what they're doing on software on CPUs today, and the announcement is they've begun the deployment of our product into their data centers.
Jan Ozer: Okay, congratulations.
Ray Adensamer: Thank you.
Jan Ozer: What are you seeing in terms of interest in HEVC versus H.264?
Ray Adensamer: We see them as the number one and number two codec in the world, so we think most of the tools and contribution that's coming in from a lot of the professional toolkits are still H.264, but most of the content, especially for user-generated content, that's being consumed are on mobile devices and there's H.265 decoders on many mobile devices, so that's our target market and we continue to see that as the strength of our product offering.
Jan Ozer: Okay, and how many of these on a 1RU server?
Ray Adensamer: In a 1RU server, so typically there's a number of NVMe storage class servers that are available, and a 1RU you can get 10 of these units in there, and in a 2RU you can get 24. And that's how we get the really, really high density to get the encoding at scale that we're talking about.
Jan Ozer: Okay, listen, good luck at the show and thanks for taking the time to talk to us.
Ray Adensamer: Thanks for coming by, Jan. Thank you.

Deep Teknologi are a production duo and label hailing from London, headed by S.E.F and T. Williams, and have been responsible for some blinding house tracks that seem to perfectly blend the new with the old: from the appropriately named 'Anthem' to the soulful 'Heartbeat', with sounds that wind sweetly between house, dubstep and funky. The multi-talented team (aside from the huge task of running a label, they also run clubnights and produce TV shows) made waves in 2010 with their mixes, records and signings and are set for the same this year.
One half of DT, S.E.F, compiled this mix for us to show us exactly how they roll. It's full of new and exclusive tracks, including some big forthcoming records from the label.

- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle met in 2016 and wedded in May 2018
- While premiering on his mental health series he is producing with Oprah Winfrey, the royalty said meeting his wife changed his life
- According to him, he had to find ways of dealing with his trauma so as not to affect his relationship

The Duke of Sussex Prince Harry has opened up to media mogul Oprah Winfrey on their new mental health series set to air on May 21.
During his one-on-one with Oprah, Harry talked about the impact his wife Meghan Markle had in his life from the moment the two crossed paths.
Harry, who is the sixth in line on the royal family throne, said meeting Meghan made him realise something was broken in him that needed to be fixed.
"I knew that if I did not do the therapy and fix myself that I was going to lose this woman who I could see spending the rest of my life with,'' he shared.

According to Harry, having not dealt with his mother Princess Dian's death, made him grow with a lot of childhood trauma that was playing out in his relationships.
When Oprah asked him what prompted him to seek help, the father of one said:
"I quickly established that if this relationship was going to work, then I was going to have to deal with my past because there was anger there, and it was not anger at her. It was just anger and she recognized it. She saw it,'' he added.
According to Harry, there was a lot of learning right at the beginning of his relationship with Markle and at one point, when the two argued, she mentioned that she needed to see someone.
He then got into therapy and started working on healing and unravelling things he had suppressed that came with being a royal kid, losing his mother at an early age and keeping up with the royal image and institution.
However, critics slammed Harry claiming he was chasing publicity while giving his royal family negative press.
Harry maintained that one of the reasons for wanting out of the royal lifestyle was to 'break the cycle' so that his children do not endure the same struggle.

In his work, the author analyses the political ideas from the beginnings of the creation of the Latvian nation to the 1905 revolution. At the same time, the author also offers to look into the political views and actions of Baltic Germans and Russians, thus opening up the possibility to analyse the ideological texts through the paradigm of post-colonialism. The author of the book presents it as a popular science book, however, the text will also be important for academic circles.

vape blog Options
In my view the Volcano vaporizer remains probably the greatest vapes dollars should purchase, severely. There are plenty of imitators, and a lot of that try and compete, but just a few are on a similar degree with regards to excellent, general performance, ease of use and cleanliness.
Click the link to buy just one with the licensed S&B supplier I personally suggest who often has the newest inventory. Use my promo code VAPENOW15 for getting fifteen% off which provides the worth right down to $408 for the exact design I have.
In any case, the volcano seems like it could be great. If I could maintain the balloon involving thumb and fingers and drive out those who. Do I should push any release button to allow the vapor being sucked out with the bag? Secondly just how much does the chamber maintain as compared to the Pax?
This is the most remarkable gadget, let alone vaporizer, which i’ve at any time utilised. It blows each other vaporizer away. A lot of people are going to tell you that there are improved kinds.
I’m hunting to buy a desktop vaporizer and my wife and I've concluded the Volcano might be likely to function ideal for us. With that said, the link on your own web page with the volcano website was not Operating for me. It will redirect although the website page wasn't loading.
I set up my volcano at level six while you advised. And attempted to fill the floor with the screen inside the load chamber. I read right now, which i really should depart the material for your couple of seconds before beginning the fan, I didn’t get it done, I set the bag and started the fan straight away when the light went off.
I happen to be through quite a few vapes some I threw away Other folks ebay….but recently I purchased the Arizer Solo, due to your assessment, and it is the best the best possible,beside the volcano. I've experienced a pax, magic flight, the other one particular by stortz& buy now bickel. on and on..but this Arizer Solo I am able to truly vape, following a number of attracts I transform it down from 4 to 3 and vape till no a lot more vaper without having burned style in the least until the quite finish which is usually about twelve min in any case and it goes to auto off, which I find quite helpful!
Even though filling up a bag on the easy valve will it odor inside.? Like if I go ahead and take bag outside the house to vape would i have to bother with odor in my dwelling?
Your opinions actually are superb, totally nicely well balanced and Experienced in addition to currently being quite humorous. I be expecting you’ll be examining more that Vapes before long!
I’d like an evaluation on sublimator far too. Your the vape oracle must I buy a sublimator for my British isles shatter?
I’ve loved my Volcano for 2 many years now and my only regret is just not receiving one particular faster. Just wanting to know if everyone has determined a way to use a whip with it, with no supporter obviously. I’m seeking tubing which is vast adequate to fit above the simple Valve herb chamber.
I myself favor the simple Valve and locate it to become the better alternative for most people, but it really just is dependent how terrible you intend to make your personal luggage. The Solid Valve is also much more parts and somewhat bulkier, so it modifications the encounter a very small bit.
So unless you have a team of men and women vaping from it, This suggests you might almost always pack just a little (0.15g to 0.2g) and position the liquid pad on top to replenish the remaining Room.
Hey Edward I’m really glad you’re having fun with it, to answer your issues you can tell the herbs are spent any time you prevent getting vapor inside the balloon, it received’t be an abrupt cease but far more of a gradual thing, and I’ve only located the style to alter just a little Once i leave the vapor in the bag for around 5 minutes or even more.
