We all know how annoying and frustrating it can be when trying to change a connection or setting when there is no manual immediately available, so LynxTechnik adopted a new basic mantra for the development of each new yellobrik device -- "No manual needed"
LynxTechnik clearly identify all connections and signal flow, and virtually everything you need to know is printed right on the module.
Most often needed controls are easily accessible and clearly labelled, with no need to remove covers, move links, and figure out complex dip switch settings or in most cases connect a PC. The more complex modules do however have more configuration options than can be accommodated with physical switches so if you want to adjust away from the default settings they can be connected by the supplied min-USB/USB cable to a PC running the extremely intuitive yelloGUI.
Once set, the yellobrik will retain these settings even after power cycling.
Even though yellobriks are low cost utility products, reliability and technical performance are key to the functionality of these modules. yellobrik's are the most stable and technically proficient bricks available and are backed by a 3 year warrantee and excellent after sales service and support from offices in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Singapore, Japan and US.
LynxTechnik include all accessories needed; the module and power supply, plus mini-USB programming cable and yelloGUI software (where required) are all supplied in a custom plastic transport case -- all included in the price. Some yellobrik's are field upgradable to add SFP fibre connectivity both single or dual channel and multichannel CWDM. Fibre MUX / De-MUX and splitter modules are also available.
If LynxTechnik release a new firmware revision then the update is always free to download and install. Simply download to your PC, plug in the min-USB/USB cable and click. Nothing could be easier.
Their innovative 1RU rack mounting chassis lets you move from simple throw down use into a tidy, organized system installed in a 19" rack frame. Central power and redundant power supply option adds to system flexibility. A single-module mounting bracket with rack-strip mounting holes is also available as are in-line IEC power supplies allowing individual modules to be powered from an IEC mains distribution unit.


The procurement process at manufacturing companies such as consumer products (CP), food and beverage, and industrial can be very complex. It involves the sourcing of hundreds, if not thousands, of commodities and raw material ingredients from many different suppliers worldwide. Budgets, standards-setting, and forecasting need to be completed up to 12-18 months in advance. Often there are several systems in place to manage this process including ERP, MRP, and siloed spreadsheets, making it challenging to track coverage and spending.
Let’s explore 4 common issues in procurement as well as the business benefits of implementing an advanced analytics solution built specifically for managing the procurement process in manufacturing companies.
Issue #1: Managing commodity price risk
Companies that are procuring commodities, raw materials, energy, or packaging to produce finished goods are exposed to increasingly volatile commodity prices. With market prices constantly changing, it is difficult for buyers to plan and budget, and is impossible to know the future spend for any given commodity. Often procurement groups are required to budget and forecast costs for thousands of items at a time, for months or years in advance. Without a commodity procurement system in place, this is a time consuming, manual process and there is no way to get a comprehensive view of price risk.
Manufacturing companies need a system that automates and consolidates procurement data into one central location that allows you to track, monitor, and manage commodity price risk. The solution should integrate market price curves with data from ERP, MRP, accounting, spreadsheets, and other systems to provide accurate forecasting and budgeting capabilities.
Procurement solution leverages predictive analytics to react to the market faster and gain a competitive advantage. The solution enables business users to view real-time coverage as well as the plan and maintain coverage within corporate governance policies. Users can also create additional insights that address specific questions without the help of IT, leading to better, faster decision making.
Issue #2: Lack of real-time information
It is difficult for manufacturers to get true visibility into their exposures and risk when data is being stored in multiple systems. Coverage and pricing are usually managed in individual buyers’ spreadsheets and is time-consuming to manually combine the impact of physicals, futures, and FX.
Manufacturers need a solution that manages planning, coverage, financial hedges, and risk in a single platform. They need to be able to manage cost models, consolidate exposure, have integrated derivatives and FX modules, and run complex forecasting scenarios.
Procurement solution allows you to uncover hidden risks, make better, more informed decisions, and promptly take corrective actions. With the ability to run advanced simulations on market changes, coverage, spend, and variance, you can better evaluate how projected changes will affect the bottom line, as well as predict the impact to coverage before taking action.
Issue #3: The “spread out” spreadsheet
It is widely known that spreadsheets are prone to manual errors and significantly increase operational work, yet most manufacturing firms still use a large number of custom spreadsheets to manage commodity risk and procurement. It can take weeks of effort to consolidate plans, monitor rates, and check for anomalies every time new forecasts come in.
Additionally, spreadsheet usage in procurement creates a lot of risk to the business due to the inevitable lack of data integration, auditability, and process controls. They provide no history of why changes were made and are dependent on the individuals who own the spreadsheets and write their own macros. This makes it very challenging to consolidate information for accurate forecasting and planning while also keeping the company’s data secure.
These companies require a solution that maintains data in a structured form with the ability to trace and audit every transaction within the system. Role-based access should be set up as well as alerts, warnings, and exception tracking to highlight discrepancies in real-time. Workflows in the system will help create more process efficiencies and increased collaboration.
Procurement Analysis solution enables procurement teams to reduce the time spent on operational tasks by up to 50%. This frees up valuable time to focus more on business strategy instead of collecting data and preparing reports. Updated volume forecasts can be accessed on-demand, rather than having to wait for a monthly or quarterly update, enabling teams to take corrective actions immediately.
Issue #4: No standards for cost models
Manufacturers that have multiple business units within the procurement department usually do not have standardized cost models across buyers. Individual buyers will maintain their own spreadsheets, making it impossible to derive any insights or analysis. Because of the sheer volume and complexity of the models, maintaining and updating them takes a significant amount of time. Even with this manual effort, spreadsheets do not provide any visibility on the secondary cost components that make up total costs. These cost components may have a huge impact on spend and play a key role when negotiating contracts with suppliers.
These companies need a flexible cost model framework that makes it easy to standardize and capture information in a structured manner to enable deeper analysis. The system should automatically update the components of each cost model and take minimal effort to maintain.
Procurement solution allows you to establish organization-wide standards to enable the use of cost models to set budgets, learn individual cost contributors, and make automatic corrections to coverage. It also provides the ability to analyze how individual components of a cost model have performed relative to each other or to the market.

The number of trained and certified volunteers to assist the community in the event of an emergency is growing, thanks to recent training by the Coffee County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).
The training, which is held over two weekends at the Enterprise Fire Department, includes classroom instruction as well as hands-on practical exercises.
“Training like this is vital to our community,” Enterprise Fire Chief Christopher Davis said. “CERT volunteers provide critical support to emergency responders and are known and trusted resources, especially in the event of a disaster.”
Chief Davis, as well as Enterprise City Councilmember Scotty Johnson, lead the training which includes topic such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.
Upon completion of the training, CERT volunteers can help others until emergency personnel arrive. Under the direction of local emergency responders, CERT volunteers can also provide critical support by giving immediate assistance to victims, oversee crowd control, and lead evacuations. Year-round, the volunteers help the community with emergency plans, neighborhood exercises, preparedness outreach, fire safety education and workplace safety.

Personal Care Services Chopped
As expected, personal care services will be slashed if the Medicaid Redesign Team accepts several proposals. The state spends more than $2 billion annually on personal care services for 74,000 people. One proposal saves the state $310 million in the next fiscal year—with $266 million of that from New York City—by eliminating Level I personal care services such as housekeeping, shopping and meal preparation. It also imposes provider-specific annual per-patient spending limits, ratcheting down costs to 2006 spending levels. About 7,000 recipients would move to managed long-term care by March 2012. Mandatory enrollment of another 35,000 personal care recipients to managed long-term care would be completed by April 2014. A second proposal saves $180 million in the next budget by cutting all personal care services for New Yorkers ineligible for a nursing home—about 18,000 people in New York City. Labor and disability advocates oppose the moves.
Push for Retail Health Clinics
New York state's regulations should be more welcoming to retail health clinics, according to a new report on the role of the clinics in New York by the Manhattan Institute. “Research has shown that retail clinics are a high-quality, low-cost, convenient form of health care access,” notes the report. In New York, however, “restrictions on the corporate practice of medicine, extensive certificate of need regulations, and some rules hedging in nurse practitioners limit the number and type of retail clinics that can operate.” The report recommends that New York create a specialized licensure process for retail clinics that streamlines regulation of clinic models and allows corporations that operate clinics to employ providers, like dialysis treatment centers, directly. The report is at www.manhattan-institute.org.
Cardiac Debut for Southside
Valentine's Day marked the official transformation of Southside Hospital in Bay Shore, L.I., from a community hospital to a cardiac surgery center. Dr. Alan Hartman, North Shore-LIJ's chair of cardiac surgery, performed the hospital's first elective open-heart surgery procedure, a valve repair. Although volume has dropped for such open-heart procedures in most places, Dr. Hartman says Suffolk County residents have been underserved. “This program is long overdue. There are 1.6 million residents of Suffolk” and only one program at SUNY Stony Brook, he said. Dr Hartman expects the center will perform from 500 to 600 procedures a year.

Retail banks looking to invest in innovation to boost revenues: Infosys study
Retail banks across the world are increasingly investing in innovation as a means of generating revenue and controlling costs amid recovery in global economy.
Banks are looking towards technologies that can simplify their operations and deliver a richer customer experience. In particular, mobile innovation is beginning to gather pace, with 77 per cent of banks deploying or planning to deploy a mobile wallet solution, the study said.
About 77 per cent of banks surveyed are increasing investment in innovation. "This is an encouraging trend as the 2009 study revealed only 13 per cent of banks had increased investment," the study, which surveyed 148 banks in 66 countries, said.
"As the global economy recovers, retail banks across the world are increasingly investing in innovation as a means of generating revenue and controlling costs," it said.
Also, 60 per cent of banks surveyed have an innovation strategy compared to just 37 per cent five years ago, when the study was first issued, it said.
More than half (58 per cent) of banks surveyed believe the ability to deploy new systems in components would have a positive impact on their ability to innovate.
Mobile location-based offerings were cited as another area of innovation for banks, with 69 per cent deploying or planning on making deployments, it said.
To enhance their product and service offerings, 45 per cent of banks are already using or planning to invest in gamification, and 61 per cent of banks currently allow or plan to allow customers to do some form of product personalisation, the study, commissioned by Infosys and conducted by Efma, said.
"The report also reiterates that retail banks across the world have recognized that simplification and innovation can go hand-in-hand to help grow business and deliver excellent customer service," Haragopal M, Global Head of Finacle at Infosys, said.


Picking up right where the 2009 season left off, 2010 is off to a rip-roaring start.
Jose Reyes will miss 2-to-8 weeks to rest his overactive thyroid.
Apparently (and contrary to my non-doctor advice on Sunday that this sounds like something that can be treated medicinally), there is no medication for this sort of thing. (Though I was right in that it's not tremendously serious.)
Just rest and hope it gets better.
While the Mets get worse.
Here's what worries me most about this situation.
Already the injury count is at two - Reyes and Carlos Beltran - three if you count Kelvim Escobar.
And what this is doing is already creating an excuse for a poor 2010 season. Two of the most important hitters in the Mets lineup are out, so automatically that will be the catch with every story written about why the Mets are struggling. (And my suspicion is that the Mets will struggle.)
People will say, is it fair to blame Jerry Manuel? Is it fair to blame Omar Minaya? They haven't been firing on all cylinders for two years now.
And then 2011 and beyond will bring more of the same.
These are my worries.
I have no doubt Jose Reyes will be fine. I bet the rest works, I bet he's an effective player for the Mets this season.
Problem is, when does he come back? Early-to-mid April, while the Mets still have a chance to put together a decent season?
May, when the team is in too big a hole to climb out of?
Even if it's April I don't know if Reyes' presence is enough to help the Mets have a decent season.
But the earlier he's back, the more the tandem of Manuel and Minaya are exposed, without the excuse of missing another one of their best players.

The role of strength and gender in this novel is particularly important when it comes to considering the character of Okonkwo and what drives him to do everything he can to be considered a man by his people. The first few chapters provide crucial information about his background, and in particular about his relationship with his father, who was a lazy man, dependent on others and unable to support his own family. Okonkwo, deeply shamed by his father, did everything he could to be different, and to commit himself to work hard and not be considered "feminine" or unmanly. Note the following quote from Chapter 3 that gives the reader a clear indication of how Okonkwo committed himself to a very different kind of life:
But in spite of these disadvantages, he had begun even in his father's lifetime to lay the foundations of a prosperous future. It was slow and painful. But he threw himself into it like one possessed. And indeed he was possessed by the fear of his father's contemptible life and shameful death.
It is this "fear" that drives Okonkwo to be more masculine than the other men of the village, which can be seen in his participation of the slaughter of Ikemefuna, even though his friend counsels him to not go with the other elders as they lead the boy to his death. It is also this "fear" that leads to Okonkwo's own downfall, as he becomes dominated by anger and is unable to back down. Strength and gender are thus represented in the character of Okonkwo as leading him to excesses that result in significant trouble for him as he drives himself to be as masculine as he can possibly be.

Technically, this curious and charming book is A Night with the Knight of the Burning Pestle: Full of Mirth and Delight by Francis Beaumont and Julie Bozza. Beaumont wrote the original 1607 play-within-a-play that forms the central part of the story. Julie Bozza has added another layer of metatextual storytelling with the relationship between two of the play’s performers, Dale and Topher.
The Knight of the Burning Pestle was an unusual play in its time: performed once only in 1607, published in 1613, it’s a satire on chivalric romances of the time and considers the fourth wall as less than the dust beneath its feet.
First, to precis the Beaumont play: a group of actors are putting on a romance called The London Merchant. To the surprise (I expect) of all the punters, two audience members – a grocer and his wife – complain loudly about the representation of the middle classes. The grocer sends his apprentice, Rafe, onstage to show what the middle classes are made of. Rafe is dubbed the Knight of the Burning Pestle and seems not to notice that it’s not kindly meant. His antics keep bursting in on the plot of The London Merchant until it tangles up with that story.
A Night with the Knight of the Burning Pestle swirls another layer into the parfait with a behind-the-scenes love story. Dale, who plays Rafe, and Topher, who plays Jasper, had a one night stand in the past. Anything more didn’t gel with Dale’s grand Life Plan. Now, on the last night of the play’s run, Topher wants Dale to reignite their connection and see there’s something worth sharing for the long term.
Dale resists – it doesn’t fit with the plan – and over the course of the night, their relationship clashes and transforms as this 17th century satire offers some meaning to their 21st century lives.
A reader might fear that the layers of story – actors playing actors in The London Merchant interacting as actor/character with audience members playing Rafe and his sidekicks – will render the whole too muddled to follow.
Fear not, reader. You’re in good hands with Julie Bozza. She’s always been a skilled storyteller with a grasp of the complex, and her knowledge of and affection for theatre and for the Beaumont play are clear (she acknowledges several influential productions).
She handles each layer of the story with clarity, delicacy and warmth, allowing the crossovers of relationships, themes and centuries room to develop without ever overwhelming you.
The Dale/Topher romance underpins the story rather than being the whole focus – there’s as much joy to be had in how the play actually unfolds as with these two lads getting their romantic act together – but that feels rightly balanced with what also feels like a love letter to an obscure play that was a failure for its playwright at the time. I do hope Francis Beaumont knows, somewhere, that Julia Bozza loves him. And at the end of this book, so do I!

School funding issues! Head teachers push local MPs for answers
What will suffer first in our schools?
Head teachers in England are calling on MPs for answers on school funding shortages - saying that they are no closer to knowing their budgets.
About 4,000 heads across 17 councils which include Conservative MPs, in Brighton, Cambridgeshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, East Sussex, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Peterborough, Suffolk, Surrey, Thurrock, West Sussex and Wokingham, mostly in southern England, are writing to their MPs warning that schools face loosing teachers they can’t replace and this will mean that certain subjects will suffer which means our children will suffer!
The heads have pointed out that they don't want to go down the route of parent funding which would mean a monthly contribution towards the schools up keep which so many parents just cannot afford.
They say that the current level of school funding is "unsustainable".
The free school meals for infants is at risk of being lost which will then effect the parents in their pockets on top of everything else.
They are meant to be reviewing the pay for teachers this summer which is needed as they are busy teaching our future teachers, doctors, nurses etc . How with the current budget they have can they afford to pay them more!
The Department for Education said to the BBC news that it was considering plans for a new funding formula for schools.
"The core schools budget has been protected in real terms since 2010 and is set to rise from £41bn in 2017-18 to over £42bn in 2019-20 with increasing pupil numbers," said a DFE spokeswoman.
Will this make any difference will the MP's listen?
Let’s all cross everything that schools get the funding to keep the teachers they need to continue all the subjects our children deserve

"Now let us deepen our understanding of when the market will be ready for us o
act. The market itself gives us the clues that tell us what to do. All that we must
do to learn is listen to it.
IT IS All ABOUT MISDIRECTION
Things are not always what they seem. If they were, it would be easy for anyone to
have a look at the market and to make money. This is not the case. You first must
know where to look.The market will very often go against public opinion. This is because people
are so enthusiastic about the market's immediate behavior that they enter a kind of
In a bull market, no one wants to be told about reversals or the end of the trend.
They all want to be where the money is being made. This is fme as long as the
market maintains its trend. The problem with this approach is that enthusiasm takes
a very long time to build. It accumulates in a slow, snowballing motion as a result
of stories of other people's success in the market.
When knowledge of the successful buyers is widespread and the public is enthu-
siastic, it is already too late and the market will reverse. Why'? Because the all-
important buying has already taken place. In fact, very soon the only thing that
will matter is selling. The public, fully ignorant of this, believes that it is at the
beginning of a move that will last for a long, long time. This is no longer true when
the public is fully aware that a bull market is underway.
Why is there such public ignorance'? Simple! The answer is 'misdirection.' The
public is misdirected by opinion. There is an abysmal difference between 'opinion'
'Opinion' is what you hear around you, what you are told by someone, whether
it is the media, a professional, or whoever. It does not really matter who is telling"

More from Dr Elder, on those dreaming to day trade (page 141)
gether. They quit their day jobs and go on the floor. Some move to a
city that has an exchange where they buy or lease a seat. Costs are
higher on bigger exchanges that handle high volumes in popular mar-
kets, and cheaper on smaller exchanges in lesser markets. The best
way to learn is to get a job as a clerk on the ﬂoor and work for some-
one, but this option is open only to the young—the ﬂoor generally
doesn't hire people over 25. They want them young, pliable, and with-
out any preconceived ideas.
The great paradox of day-trading is that it demands the highest level of
discipline, while attracting the most impulsive, addictive, and gambling-
prone personalities. If trading is a thrill, then day-trading provides the
best rush. It is a joy to recognize a pattern on your screen, put in an
order, and watch the market explode in a stiff rise, stuffing thousands
of dollars into your pockets. A former military pilot said that day-
trading was more exciting than sex or ﬂying jet aircraft.
Corporate traders are in the market because their companies gave
them jobs. Private traders enter for reasons that are partly rational and
partly irrational. The only rational reason is to make money, but a prof-
itable day-trade delivers such a great high that it sweeps most people
off their feet. Flooded with pleasure, they go looking for the next high
and lose money.
The purpose of any business is to make money. A well-run business
also gratifres many of its owners' and employees' psychological needs,
but money is the pivot of the enterprise. Traders who become hooked
on thrills take their eyes off the money and jump into impulsive trades.
Vendors encourage day-traders because losers spend like drunken
sailors on software, data, systems, and even coaches, most of whom
have never traded or busted out. Go into any port area, and you'll
see plenty of bars, brothels, and tattoo parlors. Go into day-trading,
and you'll see more vendors than you can shake a stick at. There is money
to be made from turkeys whose market life is measured in months
Successful day-traders test patterns and systems, measure risks and
rewards, and focus on building equity. Winners tend to be emotionally
cool. If day-trading attracts you, you must answer several questi
survive and succeed, you must develop discipline. The moment
you become aware of feeling fear or joy, use that as a signal to tighten
your discipline and follow your system. You developed that system
when the markets were closed and you felt calm. Now it gives you
your only chance of survival and success in the markets.
The idea of an automatic trading system is fundamentally flawed. If
those systems could work, then the smartest guy with the biggest com-
puter would have cornered the market long ago. Automatic systems do
not work because the market is not a mechanical or electronic entity
that follows the laws of physics. It is a huge crowd of people acting in
accordance with the imperfect laws of mass psychology. Physics and
mathematics can help, but trading decisions must take psychology into
\When you talk with a pro, one of the first questions he'll ask—or
not even ask because he'll know the answer from a few of your com-
ments—is whether you are a discretionary trader or a system trader.
A discretionary trader takes in market information and analyzes it using
several technical tools. He is likely to shift and apply somewhat different
tools to different markets at different times. I-Iis decision-making tree has
many branches, and he follows them at different times as market condi-
tions change. All branches are connected to the sturdy trunk of his deci-
sion-making tree, an inviolate set of rules for risk control.
A system trader develops a mechanical set of rules for entering and
exiting trades. He backtests them and puts them on autopilot. At that
point, an amateur and a pro go in opposite directions. An amateur,

Warren Buffett's no 2 principle
"2. Be Willing To Be Different: Don't base your decisions upon what everyone is saying or doing. When Warren Buffett began managing money in 1956 with $100,000 cobbled together from a handful of investors, he was dubbed an oddball. He worked in Omaha, not Wall Street, and he refused to tell his parents where he was putting their money. People predicted that he'd fail, but when he closed his partnership 14 years later, it was worth more than $100 million. Instead of following the crowd, he looked for undervalued investments and ended up vastly beating the market average every single year. To Warren Buffett, the average is just that -- what everybody else is doing. to be above average, you need to measure yourself by what he calls the Inner Scorecard, judging yourself by your own standards and not the world's.

Bank Negara FX Liberalisation
s announced on Jan 30, 2012, the new measures basically open up the way for domestic participants in the capital markets to engage in new fx related instruments for example margin fx trading witht eh domestic banks.... but non Ringgit related. If the participant converts ringgit into say us dollars, euros or aussie dollars, they are free to invest that foreign currency in whatever they want be it domestically created products or foreign products. Opens up a whole new world of trading opportunities....
So, in terms of Bursamalaysia stocks, banks/financial institutions to be rerated upwards?
Malaysia issues tax free palm oil export quotas." I guess some parties who bought up the cpo futures last Friday already knew.... If you are fortunate enough to be in the inner circle, the you might buy volume with confidence, otherwise forget about trading volume and making the big bucks.

A fleet of cars, flying down Americas highways, emit naught but drops of water that sprinkle the roadway like icing on a cake. The atmosphere, reeling with the cool relaxation of zero carbon emissions, breathes easy, showing off its best shade of blue. Gone are the days of burnt, black freeways. Gone are the days of coughing, sputtering SUVs. Gone are the hazes that blur our skylines and warm our oceans.
This is the dream of the Hydrogen Highway and its a popular dream. Fuel cells are a hot topic of clean energy discussions. The big automakers, even two years ago, had hydrogen-powered cars that could travel 300 miles on 17.6 pounds of hydrogen, reaching speeds up to 132 miles per hour. Furthermore, hydrogen has roughly three times as much energy as gasoline.
As our need for fossil fuels steadily increases, while supplies of such fuels steadily decreases, our need for alternative fuels becomes increasingly desperate. So where are all the hydrogen cars? Why do we continue to pay high gasoline prices and buy marginally more efficient gasoline-powered automobiles when free and abundant water could easily power our on-the-go lifestyles?
Production of hydrogen for fuel applications can be achieved in a variety of ways, including natural gas, coal gasification, biomass gasification, electrolysis, and others. Most of the hydrogen in production today is manufactured from natural gas or coal, minimizing its true effect on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. There is no reason that hydrogen for fuel cells could not be made from renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind. The problem is renewable resources are simply not yet utilized enough to facilitate mass production of hydrogen.
Electrolysis, or the act of using electricity to separate hydrogen from oxygen to create gas, is a popular, if underdeveloped, solution. In fact, electrolizers are often homemade and can be constructed inexpensively to supplement gasoline in the average car. This, many argue, is the avenue to free energy for your car. It faces two big obstacles: big automakers and oil companies are resistant to free energy for existing cars and electrolysis is the most inefficient way to produce hydrogen.
As a matter of fact, hydrogen is not a fuel. It is a way of storing or transferring energy. That is why production is such a key issue for a hydrogen economy. On that note, there are three ways to store hydrogen: liquefaction, compression, or solid-state. Liquefaction is the act of cooling hydrogen until it is near absolute zero, where it turns liquid. Compression involves storing room-temperature hydrogen in a tank at up to 10,000 psi. Just eight kilograms of compressed hydrogen was enough to power GM’s Sequel for 300 miles. Solid-State storage involves materials called metal hydrides which can capture hydrogen molecules and then release them on demand. Solid-state storage is still very impractical (a 700 pound tank holds but a few hours fuel), although research continues into more practical possibilities.
Distribution and infrastructure are a big problem for the hydrogen economy. Being so light of weight makes hydrogen difficult to capture. It also has the nasty habit of embrittling and weakening steel. Nonetheless most hydrogen right now is transported via trucks or trains. Pipelines are also used to an extent, but treating the steel to prevent embrittlement is an expensive task. Producing hydrogen locally or on-board would eliminate these problems, although today most locally produced hydrogen is tied to natural gas or coal plants, still leaving greenhouse gas emissions as a prominent problem.
Many proponents argue for a hydrogen economy in which the worlds simplest element could power not just our cars but our homes and businesses…our daily lives. Yet as a clean energy source, hydrogen power cannot go it alone. It simply takes too much energy to produce and, as long as that energy is derived from natural gas, coal, or even nuclear power, hydrogen will not compete with cleaner, more direct renewable resources such as wind or solar. However, hydrogen fuel cells certainly show promise when combined with other forms of energy. In fact, it may be the key to storing solar electricity in the home.
The biggest problem for hydrogen so far is simply that it has to be made. It is a carrier, not a primary source of energy. This makes it too reliant on other forms of energy which, at this point in time, are mostly fossil fuels. Expect, however, hydrogen to ride proud and high down the renewable highway as solar, wind, and other renewable resources gain a stronger grip on energy usage.

Rosemount Legion goes 1-4 at Gopher Classic
The Rosemount American Legion team pitched well and played good defense, but its offense couldn't get going over the weekend during a 1-4 showing in pool play at the 90-team Gopher Classic.
Rosemount allowed just 17 runs in its five games at the Maple Grove site. The team plated only five in four straight losses before closing out the tournament with a 5-3 win over Chippewa Falls (Wis.) on Sunday afternoon.
Three pitchers combined to hold Chippewa Falls in check. Dennis Reinhardt allowed two runs over the first three innings, Danny Farris surrendered one run in two innings to pick up the win and Haydn Lanoue pitched two scoreless frames to earn the save.
"Every one of our pitchers had success in different ways," Rosemount coach Tom Buske said. "We pitched well all weekend, we just haven't been able to get any timely hits. We have been in most every game, we're just missing some guys and a lot of young guys have stepped in and they've been competing better than they were earlier in the year."
Jordan Turner gave Rosemount an early lead against Chippewa Falls, doubling to lead off the first and scoring on an error. Two innings later, Nick Seipel collected one of his team-high six tournament hits and came around to score on a two-run single by Ben Smith that tied the score at 3-3. Rosemount took the lead for good when Dennis and Bryce Reinhardt singled to start the fifth and came around to score on a walk and a passed ball.
Rosemount was being held to three hits in it's first tournament game, a 5-0 loss to Hamline Purple. Alex Hassebroek kept the game close by holding Hamline to one run in 4 2/3 innings of relief.
Game 2 played out in similar fashion. Starter Jake Schulze allowed one earned run over 4 1/3, but didn't get much offensive support in a 3-1 loss to Maple Grove. Luke Dahl's single drove in Rosemount's lone run in the second inning.
In Game 3, Bloomington Blue pushed across two runs in the bottom of the sixth to rally for a 3-2 win. Bryce Reinhardt took the tough-luck loss, allowing three runs in six innings.
Seipel provided an RBI double in the first and an RBI single in the sixth.
Rosemount resumed play on Sunday with another 3-2 loss, this time to Rapid City. The go-ahead run reached scoring position in the seventh inning, but Rosemount's final two batters were retired on a ground out and a strikeout.
Luke Dahl started and allowed two earned over six innings.
Rosemount hosted Eastview Wednesday at Dakota County Technical College and is back at DCTC tomorrow night when it takes on Shakopee.

Wound healing is a critical outcome in surgery, and postoperative wound disruption is a serious complication. Surgical incisions are acute wounds that activate the healing process. The healing process has four identified stages, namely: coagulation, inflammation, proliferative phase/granulation tissue formation and the remodeling phase, in reality it is a complex, continuous process (Demidova-Rice et al., 2012). Surgical wound dehiscence (SWD) has been defined as the separation of the margins of a closed surgical incision that has been made in skin, with or without exposure or protrusion of underlying tissue, organs, or implants. Separation may occur at single or multiple regions, or involve the full length of the incision, and may affect some or all tissue layers. A dehisced incision may, or may not, display clinical signs and symptoms of infection (Ousey,2018).
Despite improvements in contemporary preoperative care and suture materials, the rate of surgical wound disruption has not decreased in recent years (Sorensen et al., 2005). CIHI's Hospital Harm Results reports the number of preventable, unintended harm due to wound disruption as ranged from 3,581 events in fiscal 2014, to 5,435 events in fiscal 2019 (CIHI, 2020). This may be attributable to the increasing incidence of risk factors within the patient population outweighing the benefits of technical achievements (Sorensen et al., 2005).
The causes of SWD can be categorized as: technical issues with the closure of the incision (e.g., unravelling of suture knots); mechanical stress (e.g., coughing can cause breakage of the sutures or rupture of the healing incision after suture or clip removal/reabsorption); and disrupted healing (e.g., due to comorbidities or treatments that hamper healing, or as a result of a surgical site infection [SSI]) (Ousey, 2018). However, overall SSI is the strongest predictor of wound disruption (Moghadamyeghaneh et al., 2015). Abdominal wound disruption typically occurs at 10 +/- 6.5 days (median eight days) after surgery (Kenig et al., 2014). Hospital stay is significantly longer for patients with wound disruption, with a median of 36 days, compared to 16 days in a control group (van Ramshorst et al., 2010).
The prevention and management of surgical wound complications is a growing area of concern for patients, healthcare professionals, and administrators alike. In these times of rationalization of healthcare dollars, it is important to ensure that patients receive appropriate screening and care, beginning at the pre-operative assessment and continuing through to post-operative care and monitoring in the community. Best practice recommendations when combined with evidence-informed interventions should help clinicians develop the skills and tools needed to identify those at risk for complications and develop plans in collaboration with their patients to ensure a best practice approach (Harris, 2017).
Factors that could increase the risk of postoperative wound dehiscence (AHRQ-PDI 14, 2016, *Kamel & Khaled, 2014):
Factors that could increase the risk of postoperative wound dehiscence in the pediatric population (AHRQ PSI 11, 2016):
Reduce the incidence of wound disruption in surgical and obstetrical patients by assessing risk, implementing risk factor modifications prior to surgery and instituting good wound care management.

NY survey finds widespread harassment of Jews and other minorities
Four in five Jewish New Yorkers said they were “very” or “somewhat” bothered by vandalism or property damage targeting their religion, according to a recent survey on harassment of minority groups.
The report, summarizing the findings of a survey by the New York City Commission on Human Rights and Strength in Numbers Consulting Group, was released Tuesday. It found that 38.7 percent of the 3,105 respondents — Muslim, Arab, South Asian, Jewish and Sikh New Yorkers — reported experiencing “verbal harassment, threats or taunting referring to race, ethnicity or religion,” while 13.6% reported “being purposefully pushed or shoved on a subway platform.”
Nearly one-third of the respondents, 980 individuals, identified as Jewish. Among the Jewish respondents, 80.4% said they were “very” or “somewhat” bothered by vandalism or property damage targeting religion, compared to 64.8% among non-Jews.
Among the Jewish respondents, 24.6% described themselves as not religious or secular; 18.3% and 17.1% deemed themselves to be Reform and Conservative, respectively; and 15.3% said they belonged to no specific branch. Twelve percent described themselves as Orthodox and 2.4% said they were Hasidic.
Those who were more observant of Judaism reported increased experiences with anti-Semitism. Jews who attend services more than once a week were more likely than those who never attend, 39.2% vs. 21%, to say they had experienced verbal harassment, the report said. Also, not being hired because of race, ethnicity or religion was more common among Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish respondents compared to those who were not Orthodox or Hasidic, 55.6% vs. 22.8%.
The commission noted that 71% of respondents overall do not report discrimination when it happens.

The marvelous state of Georgia is an adventure to get through just from its sheer size. The interesting thing about Georgia, is that it home to some amazing historical places and unique communities scattered across the mountainside and the rural areas. The majority of the land here that is not residential, commercial or industrial properties is made up to include all of the agricultural and farming land used for trading goods and services with other states and countries. One of the most special area in Georgia is in the northern region of the state, where there is a high focus on art, music and comfortable living in the magnificent Appalachian Mountains, extending from Georgia to Maine on the East coast of the U.S. What makes North Georgia so unique is a combination of naturalistic mountainside living with suburban luxury homes. One of the famous North Georgia communities in the Appalachian Mountains, is the city of Hiawassee.
Hiawassee is a surprisingly diverse city in the heart of the mountains, where there are many things to do from hiking, to enjoying the day on the water in Lake Chatuge, or even wandering the lengthy trails on horseback. The community of Hiawassee is also famous for its Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds, where the Georgia Mountain Fair, along with many other vendors and venues, are held and continue to thrive in the open fields of Hiawassee. Lake Chatuge, a monumental body of water in Hiawassee, has a shoreline of over 132 miles, and winds its way around these mountain communities such as Hiawassee & Hayesville NC. Lake Chatuge and the Hiawassee River are two phenomenal places to fish for bass and do some recreational activities such as boating or canoing. With these and many more amenities, who wouldn't want to live here? For more information about Hiawassee or the surrounding North Georgia communities, please contact northgaproperties.net.

The program goal is to provide donated prescription drugs to benefit individuals who are in need and have limited or no prescription drug coverage.
The Drug Repository Prescription Assistance program was created in accordance with “Karon’s Law.” The bill allowed for the creation of a warehouse to accept and distribute donated prescription drugs to individuals in need, who meet eligibility criteria. Initially, the Lorain County program financial assistance was provided by the Community Foundation of Greater Lorain County. The Lorain County Drug Repository’s creation is a cooperative effort between the following agencies:
The Drug Repository, housed in Buderer Fisher Drug Company, receives unused prescription drugs from nursing homes and long-term care facilities. Medical providers determine patient eligibility and inform Buderer Fisher Drug Company and Lorain County Public Health of new patients to the program. The prescription drugs are then distributed to the patient.

Just a wee heads-up if you are a weekend sack of spuds like myself, vegging out in air-conditioned respite from the relentless Valley heat! Instead of actually golfing, kick back and indulge oneself in DIRECTV’s PGA Tour Experience, an array of content that includes the CBS Sports network feed; the “Launch Pad,” an up close and personal look at explosive tee-shots on the 490-yard 16th hole; the “ShotLink Channel,” a data-driven angle on the competition, and finally, a Featured Group channel where you can follow specific players as they try to conquer the beast known as Bethpage Black, one of the PGA Tour’s toughest venues.
For armchair scholars of the game, Bethpage Black, in Farmingdale, N.Y., is the master work of renowned golf architect A.W. Tillinghast, who also designed Baltusrol and Winged Foot. It has been lengthened to accommodate the New Golf Supermen (and enhanced equipment) to a whopping 7,426 yards — some 700 yards longer than when it opened in 1936. Bethpage has hosted two U.S. Opens in the new millennium, and will also be home to the 2019 PGA Championship and the 2024 Ryder Cup. I’ll have sunk into the couch by then, never to be found again. May the golf gods have mercy on my soul. Fore!

Ever since the Syfy Channel changed their name from SciFi to Syfy, I knew that they were going to be changing a lot more... Why would a network that has aired extremely successful shows like Battlestar Galactica, try to change their name? Do they not want to be known as the network that only makes science fiction shows..

There is a plethora of retrofitting policies out there, especially in Europe, that are guiding the move to a cleaner, greener energy scene. Here is a selection of rules and guidelines that are improving efficiency in our aging building stock and related energy use.
From the European Commission
A major player! Part of the Energy Taxation Directive. Aims to bring EU member states in line with climate-neutral standards by 2050 by “aligning taxation of energy products and electricity with EU energy and climate policies”.
An American version is often spoken about but is not yet formalised.
The EU has set this strategy in motion to help achieve their Climate Target Plan 2030. It’s designed to bolster and accelerate energy renovations, namely by double in 10 years, in line with economic progress.
This combines a couple of directives designed to promote decarbonisation of building stock, energy-saving know-how among consumers, and create an environment for investment and development.
Incentivises the shift towards renewables by taxing energy sources harmful to the environment. It seeks to remove tax exemptions on fossil fuels across all sectors, which has been holding back the phasing-out process.
Holds each EU member state to binding targets for carbon reduction.
A cap is set on the greenhouse gases individual energy generation and industrial plants can emit. These reduce allowances further as time progresses.
Supports “the development of renewable energy across all sectors of the EU economy” by stimulating investment, breaking down former barriers, driving down costs in innovation and tech, and encourages citizens and businesses to “participate in the clean energy transformation”. This includes building-based wind and solar units, of course.
In July 2021, the EU decided to implement this policy that creates even more stringent requirements for member states. This includes a further 9% reduction in energy consumption by 2030 compared to 2020 rates.
Carried out by an Energy Service Company (ESCO), which exists to offer financial services that support energy-saving measures. They are also responsible for measuring performance. The better buildings perform, the better their remuneration as per the contract.
Policies from Other Places
Energy Company Obligation (ECO) – Ofgem (Office of Gas and Electricity Markets), Great Britain
Designed to tackle fuel poverty, energy suppliers are required to actively promote opportunities for low-income households to heat their homes. Since 2018, landlords have been unable to rent our properties unless they are rated at an E-level or better. Scroll through the tabs online for plenty of detail. Part of the Home Heating Cost Reduction Obligation.
Policies Database – International Energy Agency, worldwide
There are plenty of policies out there. Get an overview of country-specific building-related protocol with the IEA, including approaches to retrofitting and decarbonisation.

ASHLAND, Ore. — Dry weather has hit southern Oregon hard over the past several months and despite little snow or rain accumulating, City of Ashland officials said their reservoir has twice as much water coming in as going out.
High above the city, in the Ashland water shed, sits the main water source for the thousands of residents. Despite lingering dry conditions, there is no talks of any potential curtailment of water use –voluntary or otherwise.
At this point Reeder Reservoir is on track with its amount of water and any less use could cause flooding if heavy rains came in the spring. Officials said at this point, Reeder Reservoir and the several storage tanks have more than enough to supply the city for now.
“Our current flows are more than double what our use is right now. We’re almost 4 million gallons a day and we’re only using 1.3 million gallons a day so there’s no reason to be concerned today,” said Ashland public works director Mike Faught.
The last time the water action plan was put in effect was august of 2009 and Faught said Ashland residents met the goal of cutting back 20 percent of water use throughout the few weeks the curtailment lasted.
If the dry weather continues, a decision on any possible curtailment won’t happen until May 1st.

Mexican Blue Ceramic Sculpture
Very colorful and typical Mexican depiction of the nativity. The box is as lovely as the figures and makes a perfect background for the set. You will live this.
By Jo A.
My daughter has sort of a thing about sculls. This one is so joyous. It has beautiful symbols, flora and fauna. The colors glow. I have to wait awhile for her birthday, but I wanted to be sure to get it. What a delightful piece of art.
"We like how the colors combine, and we accentuate the statuettes with repeated dots, feathery lines and fanciful flowers. Our inspiration comes from nature and from our own imagination."

35th District Candidates Discuss Money, and How to Save It
Four candidates to represent the 35th District in the state House agree that it's a problem when state government tells local government it has to do something — but won't pay for it.
Republican Herb Baze, one of four candidates hoping to replace retiring state Rep. William Eickmeyer, D-Belfair, said the issue of unfunded mandates prompted him to run for the state office rather than trying to regain the Mason County commissioner job he had for four years.
"One of the biggest problems is unfunded mandates," Baze said.
He was joined at a Tuesday morning Bremerton Area Chamber of Commerce Eggs & Issues debate by fellow Republican Randy Neatherlin and Democrats Daryl Daugs and Fred Finn.
Money was topic one at the meeting. The candidates discussed paying for ferries and other services, and the dollars that come from taxpayers.
Daugs said the state has to look at being more efficient — acknowledging such a statement was uncharacteristic for a Democrat.
Finn said everyone knows money will be tight during the next legislative session. Neatherlin said any mandate should identify where the money is going to come from.
On ferries, Baze said the system should be run like a business. Daugs said ferry officials have in the past been able to run unsupervised. He related a personal anecdote about finding an overpriced tool set on the boat, asking about it and having someone from the ferry answer, "When nobody's your boss you can do what you want."
Finn said he agreed that ferry fares should be frozen. He wasn't willing to agree that ferries should be exempt from fuel taxes, saying ambulances and other vehicles would be equally deserving of that break.
Daugs and Baze agreed that health insurance costs are high because of mandates imposed by Deborah Senn, former state insurance commissioner, that force companies to pay for a broad array of treatments. Neatherlin compared the number of Washington mandates with Idaho, saying insurance is cheaper there because there are fewer mandates.
Finn said 700,000 Washingtonians are without insurance and a quarter of those who do have coverage are underinsured.
When the candidates were asked what they'd do for Bremerton, Neatherlin said he'd get jobs in the area, "not just green jobs." Finn said part of his focus would be on fully funding basic education. Daugs said business and occupation tax reform would help to encourage job growth.
Baze said he'd do in Bremerton what he'd do for any state issue: keep regulations and spending under control.
On this region's troubled fjord, the Democrats said the Puget Sound Partnership, organized to improve the health of Puget Sound waterways, has to include action on Hood Canal. The Republicans said it's time to start implementing solutions now.
In closing comments, Baze emphasized cutting taxes without hurting the state's most vulnerable. Daugs spoke of the "street cred" he's gained from working with corporations and nonprofits, as well as from serving with his wife as foster parents to more than 50 kids.
Finn focused on his experience as a lawyer and as a business owner. Neatherlin said it's time for Olympia to control its spending.
Daugs said the four candidates might all have different ideas for what they'd do as legislators.
But, he said, there's "no question all four of us are trying to do the right thing."

Food is same as any other chipotle but wow they really are stingy at this location. Really small portions compared to your standard chipotle more
I'd seen the ads for chipotle in plenty of tube stations & I love chipotle peppers, but in my mind I thought of them as just another fast food chain until Yelp organised an event here and I was stripped thoroughly of my misconceptions!
All the meat is sourced from free range farms, every item on the menu is prepared fresh on location. No central kitchen, pre packaged, frozen stuff here.
Ok I got abit greedy. I grinned and asked for everything in mine except guacamole. I cant handle spice but my goodness if only I had a pint of milk next to me because I was burning.
I opted for the £6.80 chicken burrito and as I was presented with it, I can really see the foil wrapping, fit to burst. For that price, it was good value for money.
Good thing they came with a plate because... more
This place serves the nicest burritos! They really care about what they do - making guac & salsa so fresh it tastes amazing, cooking the meat at each branch themselves. I tried a combo of chicken and barbacoa (YUM) with brown rice, black beans, cheese, guac, mild salsa and sour cream. It was sooo jam packed that I felt sick after eating it! Too much for me for a lunch so I would definitely go... more
I had a BURRITO of barbacoa!! It was my first time to eat a wrap in London.
I put brown rice,brown beans,sour cream and lettuce. wanted guacamole but the staff said"You can't or it's extra..."(I couldn't catch what she said. But there was still a queue behind me, so I didn't ask again.)
It was too big to bite so I ended up opening it to eat. I wondered if I could finish all this but I did!!!... more

Chance the Rapper announced in a new song that he purchased the Chicago-based publication Chicagoist.
On the track “I Might Need Security,” the rapper said: “I got a hit-list so long I don’t know how to finish, I bought the Chicagoist just to run you racist bitches out of business.”
The 25-year-old’s company, Chance’s Social Media LLC, bought the local food and culture site from WNYC, the New York public radio station that in February purchased the plethora of-ist sites that shuttered last year. The network included Chicagoist, Gothamist, LAist and DCist.
“I’m extremely excited to be continuing the work of the Chicagoist, an integral local platform for Chicago news, events and entertainment. WNYC’s commitment to finding homes for the -ist brands, including Chicagoist, was an essential part of continuing the legacy and integrity of the site,” Chance said in a statement. “I look forward to re-launching it and bringing the people of Chicago an independent media outlet focused on amplifying diverse voices and content.”
The president and CEO of New York Public Radio Laura Walker said in a statement that they were delighted that “the Chicagoist assets are finding a new home in the hands of a proud Chicagoan.”
“WNYC has a strong commitment to local journalism and building community, and we are pleased that these assets will be used to support local coverage in the great city of Chicago,” she added.
People on social media had a lot to say about the news:
The Chicago native released four new songs on Wednesday, including the aforementioned “I Might Need Security,” “Work Out,” “65th & Ingleside” and “Wala Cam” featuring Supa Bwe.


The police have reportedly flogged a man who exhibited different swimming styles at the water fountain in Parliament on Tuesday.
Unconfirmed reports say that Central Police Station (CPS) officers temporarily detained the trespasser but released him after a whipping.
The station commander, Modisaotsile Bonang was not available for comment as his phone rang unanswered. Parliament’s public relation officers referred queries to the Speaker whose secretary said the National Assembly clerk is the best placed person to talk about the issue. The clerk was unavailable for comments as she was said to be in a meeting.
However, an employee at the National Assembly, who spoke on condition of anonymity said horrified members of the public and security guards watched in disbelief as a man rolled several swimming styles – backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly in the water fountain.
Some of the spectators captured him on their mobile phones and posted the images online.
The pictures show a dark-skinned man, evidently a good swimmer, enjoying every moment in the clean water. The man wore black pants and a black t-shirt. He seemed to enjoy the luxury of swimming at the restricted area and the attention of spectators.
Some people questioned the sanity of the man and the common question was: “If a person can freely swim in the fountain, what more surprises can we expect?”
The images posted on Facebook by a witness Segolame Segokotlo and shared by Mmegi Facebook page received 1,814 likes, 686 comments by late last night. Some comments said no one can blame the poor man for seeking relief from the sweltering heat.
The Department of Meteorological Services has released a statement advising the public that there will be very hot temperatures over most parts of the country till mid next week.
“The most affected districts are Gantsi, Kgalagadi, Kweneng, South-East, Kgatleng, Southern and the northern parts of the Central District.
Temperatures over these areas are expected to reach highs of between 36°C and 40°C. Although the remaining districts will still be hot, temperatures are expected to range between 33°C and 36°C. Temperatures are eventually expected to drop by Thursday next week,” the department said.
People are advised to drink more water regardless of their activity level, avoid prolonged stay under the sun, stay under the shade and protect themselves from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat or umbrella.


Joseph Haydn: 16 Early Keyboard Sonatas Hob. Xvi: 1-16
This Da Vinci Classics production, first in a series aiming at the recording of Haydns complete keyboard sonatas, includes sixteen short examples of Haydns early style as a composer of Sonatas. His writing here is indebted to two intertwining traditions: the northern one, whose undisputed leader was Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, and the southern one, championed by Georg Christian Wagenseil. Fascinatingly, this recording allows us to observe, firsthand, the evolution of Haydns own language and of that of his time: a time of transition between Baroque, style galante and Classical era. Haydn himself should be credited with many merits for the successful transition from one style to another, and these small gems - many of which were conceived for amateur players, but nonetheless are delightful both to play and to listen to - constitute a valuable link between the Suites of the Baroque era and the Classical Sonata form which Haydn himself would contribute to craft.

And to celebrate Official "Buy Dan's Books" month, thoughout the month of October I'll periodically present short profiles and reviews of my books, with links to Rogue Press and Silly Hat Press, so you can buy copies for your very own self (and some to give as gifst)! How exciting is that! I'll even autograph them for you, if you see me in person (or send one to me in the mail)
We'll start with The Simplicity Cycle. It's a design book that explores the relationship between complexity, goodness and time. I originally wrote it for engineers and systems designers, but I've heard from artists, writers, software programmers, college professors and scientists who say it describes their creative journeys.
If you paint, draw, write, make music, program computers or otherwise create things, I think you'll find this book helpful. If you have any interest in the intersection between complexity, simplicity and design, or want to discover some ways to simplify things, check this book out.
You can download the PDF version for free at Rogue Press - and I hope you do. But you can also buy the print version - and I hope you'll do that too, 'cause remember, this is Buy Dan's Books month.
In an early review, Chet Richards wrote "Like Sun Tzu or Jonathan Livingston Seagull, or The Elements of Style, this is a little tome that you can keep in the center drawer of your desk and take out from time to time just to glance through. The book is obviously the product of its own advice: simple, functional, elegant"
