Massive Smoke Plume From New South Wales Fires
Huge clouds of smoke spilled off the southeastern coast of Australia in this NASA Terra satellite image taken with the MODIS instrument (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on Jan. 31, 2020.
No rain clouds are in sight to quench the fires and smoke that are streaming over the Southern Pacific Ocean from New South Wales, Australia. The data from Terra was uploaded to the Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) which then distributes the Near Real-Time (NRT) active fire data within 3 hours of satellite observation from both MODIS and NASA’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). The fires in this image have burned hundreds of miles of Australian land leaving behind scorched earth. These fires have also decimated wildlife across the region. Many residents have lost homes to the fires and some have lost their lives.
NASA’s satellite instruments are often the first to detect wildfires burning, and the locations of new fires are sent directly to land managers worldwide within hours of the satellite overpass. Together, NASA instruments detect actively burning fires, track the transport of smoke from fires, provide information for fire management, and map the extent of changes to ecosystems, based on the extent and severity of burn scars. NASA has a fleet of Earth-observing instruments, many of which contribute to our understanding of fire in the Earth system. Satellites in orbit around the poles provide observations of the entire planet several times per day, whereas satellites in a geostationary orbit provide coarse-resolution imagery of fires, smoke and clouds every five to 15 minutes. Actively burning areas, detected by MODIS’s thermal bands, are outlined in red. For more information visit: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/fires/main/missions/index.html

If you thought the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, HTC One Max and Nokia Lumia 1520 were big phones (and you'd be right), Sony has just out done the lot with the Xperia Z Ultra. The phablet has a whopping 6.4in display so is closer to the size of a Nexus 7 than a Nexus 5.
Sony has ensured the device is also dust- and waterproof like its brothers so, to this end, the ports are all covered up with flaps. The only one which isn't is the headphone jack which cleverly doesn't require one. It's oddly positioned on the side of thesmartphone though which proves awkward. There's also a pair of metal contacts for use with a charging station.
The Xperia Z Ultra is astonishingly thin at 6.5mm (the Xperia Z1 is 8.5mm) which helps to keep the weight down but it still tips the scales at 212g. Build quality, like the other Xperia phones and Sony products in general, is excellent. Premium materials put together with care results in a premium device.
So you get plenty of real-estate with the Ultra and the Full HD display looks great, just like the original despite the drop in pixel density. This is all great if you want to watch a film or browse the web. However, the handset can't be used effectively with one hand and you look like a bit of a chump holding it up to your face to have a phone call – two major issues.
Unless you're Hodor from Game of Thrones (someone with huge hands), you're going to have issues trying to use this phone with one hand. It's almost impossible to reach anything in the top half of the display or on the opposite side to your hand. The phablet is also very precarious when held in one hand.
An advantage to this screen is its rather neat ability to be used with a regular pencil. It works very well avoiding dirtying the screen with fingerprint marks. You can use a pencil just like a stylus and when you are, two options appear in the notification menu to take notes or create a sketch. It's not a flawless experience with a bit of lag when drawing or using the handwriting recognition but nevertheless, it's a great feature.
Insanely large screen aside, the Xperia Z Ultra has some decent internal specifications. Keeping up with other top-end handsets, it's got a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor, Adreno 330 GPU and 2GB of RAM.
Internal storage is a fairly regular 16GB and there's a microSD card slot which can take up to 64GB cards. Also under the bonnet is an NFC chip, 11ac dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and support for 4G LTE networks.
An optional NFC-enabled SBH52 Bluetooth Handset lets you leave the Ultra in a bag or pocket but still make calls, view text messages and listen to music stored on the main unit; It's even a stand-alone FM radio. A much more wieldy way of using the device but adds £59 to the total cost.
Sony Xperia Z Ultra: Cameras
The main camera has been downgraded to 8Mp compared to the Xperia Z1's 20Mp shooter and even the older Xperia Z's 13Mp. Considering the high price of this handset, we expected it to at least stay the same. Unfortunately photos and videos from the Z Ultra are lower quality than other 8Mp smartphones such as the iPhone 5C.
Sony's Superior Auto mode will do all the work for you but is strangely limited to 7Mp images. You'll have to switch to 'Normal' to gain access to all 8Mp and select 'Video camera' to be able to change what resolution you shoot video at. There are a number of other modes for features like burst, panorama and scene select.
It's a shame that with a phone this big, Sony hasn't included a dedicated camera shutter button and for some strange reason there's no LED flash.
We can't help but feel the photography performance of the Z Ultra is a bit lacking, compared to older Xperia devices and competitors. Here's a sample photo and video both captured with the Superior Auto mode.
Click to enlarge
Sony Xperia Z Ultra: Software
The Xperia Z Ultra is running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with Sony's usual skin on top including the Walkman app, battery saving Stamina mode and Sony's Entertainment Network. Sony's wallpers and widgets are particularly good and the notification bar gives access to settings such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and screen brightness.
It's a stylish interface which is intuitive to use, striking a nice balance between providing additional features and overwhelming the user. Our main complaint is the pre-loaded apps like McAfee and OfficeSuite which you might not want. However, you can simply uninstall these so it's not totally forced.
Android 4.2 is a little out of date now but Sony has confirmed that version 4.3 will be rolled out to devices including the Xperia Z Ultra in December and Android 4.4 KitKat will arrive sometime after this but no timeframe has been given.
A phone this big means plenty of space for a large battery pack and therefore battery life. The Nokia Lumia 1520 is fitted with a huge 12.9Wh battery but despite being larger, the Xperia Z Ultra has an 11.3Wh capacity. That's not much bigger than the much smaller LG G2.
Using the Xperia Z Ultra for general tasks means you'll comfortably get through a day, if not a second. However, hit the net, catch an episode of a TV show, spend some time gaming or connect with your friends on social networks and the battery level quickly disappears.
Luckily Sony includes power management software, the main feature of which is a Stamina mode which minimises battery use by disabling functions like Wi-Fi and mobile data when the screen is off.
Sony's new Xperia Z Ultrais yet another Android phone that blurs the line between a smartphone and a tablet. The company claims the 6.4in smartphone is the world's slimmest with a full HD display, measuring just 6.5mm thick. See: Acer Liquid S1 hands-on review.
At almost 180mm tall and over 92mm wide, the Xperia Z Ultra will immediately become one of the largest devices on the market. Its size is comparable toSamsung's Galaxy Mega 6.3, so it's much larger than theSamsung Galaxy Note II, and even the 6.1inHuawei Ascend Mate. Take a look at The top 10 best Android tablets of 2013 too.
The Xperia Z Ultra appears to follow a similar design to Sony's Xperia Z smartphoneand theXperia Tablet Z. It's a long rectangle shape with flat sides, square corners and a sheet of tempered glass on both the front and the back. All that extra size means the Xperia Z Ultra weighs 212g, which is heavier than the Galaxy Mega 6.3.
The Xperia Z Ultra is completely waterproof, not just water resistant.
Perhaps the best design feature of the Xperia Z Ultra is the fact that it is waterproof, not just water resistant. The phone will handle water and dust to IP55 and IP58 standards, which is an upgrade over Sony's previous water resistant devices.
The Xperia Z Ultra is a top end phone that is likely to retail for a top end price, so it's specifications are certainly impressive, at least on paper. It has a 6.4in, full HD "Triluminos" display which is Sony's fancy marketing term for a new technology that claims to display a wider palette of colours.
The phone is powered by Qualcomm's new 2.2GHz, quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, has 2GB of RAM, and includes 16GB of internal memory. A microSD card slot handles extra storage, while the phone is also 4G capable and will therefore work on all Australian networks.
Sony says the Xperia Z Ultra's handwriting recognition feature will work with any regular pencil or pen.
Like Samsung's Galaxy Note II, the Xperia Z Ultra comes with a stylus that allows users to write and sketch on the screen. However, Sony says the handwriting recognition feature will work with any regular pencil or pen, provided the tip diameter is over 1mm.
The Xperia Z Ultra comes with an 8-megapixel rear facing camera with Sony's Exmor RS sensor but the company has surprisingly omitted an LED flash. The phone's waterproof capabilities means you can film full HD videos underwater, and there's also HDR for both still photos and videos, along with a front-facing 2-megapixel camera that handles video calls.
Other features include a large 3050mAh battery and NFC-connectivity, though the battery is not removable.
The Xperia Z Ultra will be available in black, white, and purple colour variants.
The Xperia Z Ultra comes with Google's latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean software but is once again skinned with Sony's own UI. The Battery Stamina mode feature seen on the Xperia Z is also present here. It prevents applications from running when the screen is locked, therefore saving power.
The Xperia Z Ultra will be available in black, white, and purple colour variants. Sony says the phone will launch globally from Q3 2013
Buying Advice The Sony Xperia Z Ultra is a nicely made device but doesn't represent good value for money. The phablet is extremely unwieldy and doesn't have a great camera. Sony would have been better off making this a 7in tablet rather than a 6.4in phone. Our recommended phablet remains the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.


The film builds up a portrait of a great Sudanese film-maker, Gadalla Gubara. At eighty-seven, he is one of the pioneers of cinema in Africa. He has recently lost his sight but still continues to film life in Sudan as no one before him. Through his oeuvre, Gadalla reveals to us a Sudan both mysterious and misunderstood. Despite censorship and lack of financial support over sixty years, he has produced cinema that is independent and unique in a country where freedom of expression is a rare luxury.

Working with Rochester Monument on the stone for my brother was a pleasant experience (dispite the traumatic nature of the overall situation). Rochester monument created a wonderful headstone, helped me out with any questions, and made the whole experience much easier for my family and me. The headstone they made was gorgeous. - Janet
I liked their attention to detail at Rochester Monument Company as well as their concern for us as the client.
They really went beyond our expectations when my husband and I worked with them to have a double monument made. The carving and designing were done perfectly, they will really listen to what you want and do their best to bring it to life!

WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF
- With solar technology improving in efficiency, and reducing in cost countries now seem to be racing to embrace it and the projects are getting bigger and bigger
The record for the largest solar power plant keeps changing hands,. One minute it’s Africa, the next it’s India and now Australia wants to lay claim to it. As the price of solar continue to fall to become the cheapest form of energy in over 58 countries, and as solar panel efficiency continues to break records, and even harness energy from rain, the future for the technology has never looked brighter.
In some respects it could be said that Australia – that country bathed in sun – has been a laggard. But all that is set to change with the announcement of a new $1 Billion combined 330MW solar farm and 100MW battery project which will be built and ready to operate in South Australia’s Riverland region by the end of this year.
The prime on the project, the Lyon Group, says that when it’s completed the new combined solar panel and battery project will be the biggest of its kind anywhere in the world, boasting 3.4 million solar panels and 1.1 million batteries, and they say that the construction and installation of the solar panels will begin in the next couple of months – showing just how fast these kinds of renewable energy projects can be spun up. Compare that for example with how long it takes to plan and build a traditional power station, all be the fact that they produce more energy, and it’s arguably the same as comparing a rocket ship to a cyclist.
Known as the Kingfisher Project, the initiative will feature a solar PV plant and a battery storage facility that are connected to Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) – the wholesale electricity market in Australia – and it will be built in two stages. The first stage will deliver 20MW of solar energy and 2MW of battery back up, and the second phase will then bring the remainder online – both will begin supply the grid with energy by the end of this year.
The combination of solar and storage means that Project Kingfisher can provide high quality, reliable power to large and small energy users alike while avoiding the cost of having to upgrade the grid itself. The battery installation, however, will follow on after a tender process which is due to be run by the Australian government later this year.
A Lyon Group partner, David Green, says the system, financed by investors and built on privately owned scrubland in Morgan, will be a “significant stimulus” for South Australia.
“The combination of the solar and the battery will significantly enhance the [energy] capacity available in the South Australian market,” he said.
Green said the project, along with a similar one it plans to build near Roxby Downs, would have gone ahead whether or not Port Augusta’s Northern power station had closed in 2016.
“We see the inevitability of the need to have large scale solar and integrated batteries as part of any move to decarbonise,” Green said, something that Tesla CEO and billionaire polymath Elon Musk also seems to agree with, “any short term decisions are only what I would call noise in the process.”
Meanwhile the Australian Premier, Jay Weatherill, commended the Lyon Group for the Riverland initiative.
“Projects of this sort, renewable energy projects, represent the future,” he said.
The Premier also went on to confirm that Lyon Group was among several companies bidding to win the battery part of the project, the winner of which will be announced in a couple months time, and which will be funded by a new $150 million renewable energy technology fund.

* Futures down: Dow 61 pts, S&P 6 pts, Nasdaq 13 pts
By Tanya Agrawal
May 13 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures were lower on Friday as oil prices fell and investors awaited April retail sales data for clues on the strength of the economy.
* U.S. retail sales likely surged in April as households stepped up purchases of cars and light trucks. According to a Reuters survey of economists, retail sales probably rose 0.8 percent last month after falling 0.4 percent in March. The data is expected at 8:30 a.m. ET (1230 GMT).
* However, weak earnings from department stores including Macy’s this week has spooked investors. Consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity.
* Oil ended a three-day bull run on Friday, falling as a strong dollar made it more expensive to hold positions.
* U.S. stocks ended mixed on Thursday, with gains in telecommunications and consumer staples helping make up for Apple’s tumble to a two-year low. Apple was down 0.4 percent at $90.01 in premarket trading.
* A rally in the S&P 500 index from its February lows has petered out over the last two weeks amid underwhelming earnings reports from companies and economic data that clouded the outlook for interest rate increases this year.
* Two U.S. Federal Reserve officials said on Thursday that the central bank should raise rates if data points to an improving economy. However, traders are pricing in only rate hike, at the end of the year.
* Department store operator Nordstrom’s shares were down nearly 18 percent at $37.11 after weak results.
* Nvidia was up 7.2 percent at $38.15 after the company forecast better-than-expected revenue for the current quarter.
* UnitedHealth was down 2.8 percent at $126 after a judge ruled in favor of Republicans who challenged President Barack Obama’s healthcare law, ruling that his administration had overstepped its constitutional powers on government spending.
Futures snapshot at 6:59 a.m. ET:
* S&P 500 e-minis were down 6 points, or 0.29 percent, with 188,688 contracts traded.
* Nasdaq 100 e-minis were down 13 points, or 0.3 percent, on volume of 25,238 contracts.
* Dow e-minis were down 61 points, or 0.35 percent, with 28,674 contracts changing hands. (Reporting by Tanya Agrawal; Additional reporting by Yashaswini Swamynathan; Editing by Ted Kerr)

Tammy Baldwin says Mitch McConnell opens door to bipartisan work on health care
U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin said Friday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) opened a door to working with Democrats to fix the Affordable Care Act.
Baldwin was reacting to statements McConnell made Thursday at a Rotary Club luncheon in southern Kentucky.
McConnell has so far been unsuccessful in rounding up enough votes among 52 Republicans in the Senate to repeal and replace Obamacare.
"If my side is unable to agree on an adequate replacement, then some kind of action with regard to the private health insurance market must occur," McConnell said, according to The Associated Press.
"No action is not an alternative," McConnell said. "We've got the insurance markets imploding all over the country, including in this state."
Baldwin said it was the first time she heard McConnell "open a door" to bipartisan work on the Affordable Care Act.
"He cracked the door open, conceding that right now he can't see how he gets 50 votes in the Senate among his own party to repeal the Affordable Care Act," she said.
Baldwin was in Milwaukee to hold a round table discussion on health care at Disability Rights Wisconsin. She heard from several people who rely on services through Medicaid.
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that under the Senate's replacement plan for Obamacare, Medicaid spending would be 35% lower than under current law. Medicaid expanded under Obamacare.
"The fact that the funding goes away won't make the care needs go away," said Lisa Burg, who has cerebral palsy.
Baldwin said in her travels around the state she has heard from "so many Wisconsinites who are scared, frankly, by the impact of the bill that is before the Senate."
Baldwin said there is a path to bipartisan work to slow health care costs, increase competition and make sure the health care exchanges are shored up. She said it's the responsibility of President Donald Trump's administration to continue making Obamacare subsidy payments to insurers.
"Frankly, as our president discovered, health care is complicated," Baldwin said. "And it's not something you should visit just once every decade or a couple of decades. It's something we should work on a bipartisan basis to strengthen."
But for now, the two parties are at loggerheads.
"Our task immediately is to try to defeat that bill," she said. "And then, in order to get something done, we have to focus on things we can get a bipartisan, 60-member consensus on."

In the meantime, I'm going to let my subconscious mind work on a problem ... what exactly is the voice I'm pursuing? What separates the aspiring writers from the ones that everyone wants to read? What separates the composers who write just interesting music from those who everyone wants to download? What separates the viral videos from those who are trying too hard?
The answer: those who catch everyone's attention are those who have something to say--the ones who have found their voice.
Think about it. I know my aspiring writer cohorts are reading their aspiring writer friends' books, and they are also reading the big name authors ... and guess which books they are enjoying more ... the ones written by the established authors who have already found their voice.
Yeah ... it's kind of depressing, isn't it.
I have spent the last several years working on my technique, improving my writing, learning to better organize my stories. But nobody wants to read something that's only well-written. They want something that moves them--takes them places they've never been before--something that makes them forget they're reading a book.
If you take a really close look at a book that many find fun to read, I bet you'll find the same things I find--mistakes up the wazoo--mistakes that established writers tell us we should avoid or our submissions will be thrown out. But who really cares about the mistakes if the books are FUN to read?
So, when I come back, it'll be time for me to do what I'm suppose to do: WRITE.
I mean: REALLY WRITE.

Sorry folks, nothing to see here.
“Talking to the guys on the team, nobody cares that there are cameras in there,” Van Roten said on a conference call with reporters. "We know why they’re there. They’re there to protect us if something happens, if something goes missing. It’s not like they’re spying on us, you know what I mean?”
Spying with cameras? Who would do such a thing (besides the New England Patriots)?
According to the Daily News, hidden cameras in locker-room smoke detectors have been in place since 2008, when the team moved into its facility in Florham Park.
The Daily News cited a New Jersey statute that guards against filming of people who are partially or fully nude without their consent. The report said the newspaper obtained a photo of the surveillance equipment, which appears to be a small camera embedded in a smoke detector in the ceiling.
There’s also the possibility that placing cameras in the smoke detectors is a violation of New Jersey’s Uniform Fire Code

This report from Fox Chicago claims that Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel did in fact discuss Obama’s Senate seat with Governor Blagojevich and may be included on one of the many FBI surveillance tapes. It wouldn’t be the first time one of Obama’s “I never knew him/talked to him” automatic denials has turned out to be a lie. I guess, if you elect someone from Chicago, you’re bound to get a large dose of scandal, lies, and corruption. And, he’s not even in office yet. Oh, wait, I guess I shouldn’t forget the “office of the President-Elect”. Egos.
The firestorm surrounding Governor Blagojevich is putting some heat on Barack Obamaâ€™s transition team. Fox Chicago News has learned about possible conversations between a top Obama aide and the governor regarding the open senate seat. Craig Wall has the exclusive.
From Hot Air:
On the surface, this makes sense. The notion that Obama and his team had nothing to say about the Senate appointment and had no contact whatsoever with Blagojevich was ridiculous. Emanuel, with his ties to Illinois politics and his status as Obamaâ€™s right-hand man, would make the most likely candidate to handle those negotiations.

Marketing Partnership Set to Boost Tourism from US
Marketing Partnership Set to Boost Tourism from the US
New Zealand will be beamed into the homes of millions of Americans tonight (8pm US Eastern-standard time), as the final six contestants in the latest series of America’s Next Top Model head to New Zealand.
Tourism New Zealand and Air New Zealand jointly hosted the America’s Next Top Model crew for three episodes of filming in November and December last year.
It is one of the first major results to come out of a new US marketing partnership between Tourism New Zealand and Air New Zealand, which aims to more than double US arrivals from just under 200,000 to around 320,000 by 2014.
Tourism New Zealand Chief Executive Kevin Bowler says: “By bringing television shows like America’s Next Top Model out here to film, we are enriching the ‘100% Pure New Zealand’ campaign and showing Americans what they can actually do when they come to New Zealand.”
A website – www.gonewzealand.com – has been launched by Tourism New Zealand and Air New Zealand, where America’s Next Top Model content and travel deals will be rolled out as each episode goes to air.
The new marketing partnership will be the single largest investment in one market the two organisations have made, with several millions of dollars to be committed over the next 12 months. Activity will cover PR, online marketing and advertising; as well as efforts to build the cruise and incentive markets out of the US, and increase positive word-of-mouth from US travellers visiting New Zealand.

What Fowers/Plants Would You Use if You Only Had Room for a Window Box Garden?
If you are a frustrated gardener who doesn't have a garden you may resort to having a window box instead. In fact why stop at one window box when you probably have more than one window? If you have four or five windows buy a window box for each of them, and this will allow you to try out all sorts of different ideas.
Once you have purchased your window boxes you will probably be wondering what are the best flowers or plants to grow in them. Many of the suggestions I will have in this hub could potentially surprise you, and I ultimately hope to inspire you to give this a try for yourselves. Even though you will only be growing your flowers or plants on a very small scale, you will be amazed how quickly you become fascinated by what is going on in your window boxes. You will look at them with pride, and positively 'glow' when anyone compliments you on them.
If you are clever you can also use these window boxes to get your children/kids interested in growing plants, perhaps by allocating each of them a window box of their own which they are responsible for. It is incredibly important in this day and age that we encourage our children to see the advantages of growing their own produce, and a window box is a great way to start them on the path to becoming keen gardeners in the future. It is also a very effective way to get your children eating vegetables willingly, as they are far more open to trying vegetables they have grown themselves.
Depending on what you like most, i.e. flowers or vegetables, you now need to decide what you want to fill your window boxes with. Of course if you have a number of window boxes you can always enjoy both options, and if you are involving your children in the process you can let them decide what they want to grow in their own individual window boxes. The next consideration to make will be which plants to grow, and depending on which you choose, whether or not to buy plants or seeds. Bear in mind certain plants simply have to be grown from seed sown where the plants are to mature, so you or your children will need to sow the seeds directly into the compost within the window box.
The following are just some examples of plants and vegetables I have had great success with by growing them in window boxes.
Not the first thing that springs to mind when most people think of window boxes I know, but actually there are many vegetables that will readily grow in a window box, ultimately providing you with healthy, tasty and organic produce that is as fresh as you could possibly hope for. If your children are the ones to grow these veggies they will usually be very excited about eating the 'crops' they have produced themselves, and this is good news for parents who struggle to get their children to eat any kind of vegetable. Just a few vegetables that work wonderfully in window boxes include:
- Radishes. These will be ready in under 6 weeks from sowing, but they must be sown from seed in the window box itself.
- Spring Onions/Green Onions/Scallions. These take anything from 8-12 weeks from sowing to maturity. Again they need to be sown directly into the compost in the window box.
- Cut and Come Again Lettuce. These are ready in varying amounts of time depending on the varieties you choose. The great thing is you can cut just enough young leaves for your salad, and then the plant will sprout new ones. Easy to grow and very tasty. These can be grown either from seed sown direct into the window box, or you can buy the young plants in from a garden centre or plant nursery.
- Shorthorn or Stump Rooted Carrots. The only successful way to grow carrots in a window box is if they are the very short rooted ones. I recommend varieties such as Paris Market Atlas or Chantenay Royals. Approximate time from sowing to harvest 16 weeks.
- American Land Cress. This lovely crop tastes very much like watercress, and although I haven't tried buying plants in, I do know it grows well from seed in many containers. This plant is another 'cut and come again' style crop so you get great value for money out of it. Approximate time from sowing to harvest 7-8 weeks.
- Rocket. A very nice salad leaf with a really good flavour. This is yet another 'cut and come again' variety, making it a very productive plant for your window box.
- Tumbling Tomatoes. Whilst you might only get a couple of plants to a window box, a tumbling tomato will provide you with a huge amount of delicious small tasty fruits. You can buy in the young plants, or you can start them from seed in pots indoors. Time from sowing to harvest approximately 8 weeks. Remember to feed regularly and water frequently.
- Chilli Peppers. These will work well in window boxes so long as you treat them much the same as tomatoes.
- Herbs. Whilst these are not strictly speaking 'vegetables', we do eat them, so I have included them here. You can take your pick from so many, e.g. chives ( with their pretty pink flowers), parsley, basil, sage, oregano etc.
Maybe you don't find the prospect of growing vegetables in your window boxes too appealing, and that is fine as well. Lots of people prefer the traditional look of a window box full of flowers because they like the colours and the scents of flowers. The following flowers all work very well in window boxes and either look or smell great (or both.)
- Violas (sweet violets). Essentially miniature pansies with delicate little attractive flowers that spread to fill the entire surface area of the compost. They have the added advantage of being very fragrant in most cases.
- Pansies. Larger than violas and very popular for container growing of any kind.
- Surfinias/Petunias. These trumpet shaped flowers come in a wide variety of colours, as well as being either scented or non-scented and upright or trailing. Truly one of the best plants for any container growing.
- Marigolds. Orange coloured flowers, very easy to grow and usually readily available from garden centres or mail order catalogues in a number of different shapes and styles. They often have a scent, although not one I personally find relevant enough to influence my choice to grow them.
- Miniature Daffodils. These have a double bonus because not only do they look beautiful, but they grow from bulbs so you can lift them at the end of each season and replant them the following spring.
- Dwarf Tulips. As with the miniature daffodils, dwarf tulips can be replanted years after year. They have the added advantage of coming in many colours.
- Geraniums/Pelargoniums. These come in a range of colours although mostly known for pinks, reds and whites. Very popular and cope well with minimal water.
- Dianthus. Essentially a dwarf carnation that comes in various colours. Many of these also have a wonderful sweet scent.
- Miniature Roses. These look very attractive and providing you feed and prune them appropriately they can last a good few years. If they outgrow your window box you can transplant them into the garden, at which point they seem to take off and grow to an excellent size, (as I found out.)
- Alyssum. A lovely carpet forming flower with a delightful fragrance. Perfect for window boxes.
- Impatiens. These bloom in shades of red, white and pink. They like part shade, and some varieties will produce flowers even in deeply shaded areas.
- Nasturtiums. These are easy to care for and have edible flowers as a bonus (use them on your salads.) They come with red, yellow or orange flowers.
- Lobelia. One of my favourites as they are just so perfect with their tiny flowers of blue, white or pink.
- Crocus. Very pretty flowers, and they are available in many colours that look extremely attractive in a window box, (plus you can lift the corms for replanting the following year.)
Another unusual choice you might think, but grasses look so attractive, especially when the breeze blows through them and they make a delightful rustling sound. They come in a variety of colours, and they cope well with a very small amount of water. Some varieties you might like to try include:
- Festuca Glauca. A beautiful blue/green grass that will last for years if you care for the window box correctly.
- Stipa Tenuissima. This pale green grass has lovely feathery foliage and very attractive seedheads on the ends of the fronds.
- Bronze Carex. Reddish bronze in colour and very striking to look at.
Ivies make lovely window box plants because they are evergreen, and they can either be grown alone as trailing plants, or they can be intermingled with flowering plants. They require little water, and depending on the variety can be quite fast growing. They also come in either plain greens or variegated leaf colourings.
- English Ivy. This is probably one of the most popular for all the reasons I describe above.
- Variegated Algerian Ivy. This is an attractive variegated ivy ideal for a window box.
- Trailing Ivy 'Silver'. Very eyecatching with lovely mottled silver leaves splashed with green and white.
- Ivy 'Glacier'. A plant which has beautiful gray-green leaves with silver to creamy white patches.
I could continue this article forever, and just realised I was in danger of doing exactly that. For this reason I have stopped at this point, and hope I have already provided you with plenty of great ideas for your various window boxes. Don't forget to check which plants and flowers are appropriate to the season you intend your window box to be at its peak. It is going to be of no use to you whatsoever to plant a summer plant in the winter for instance, so be sure the plants you choose will thrive in the season you have chosen to grow them. Also remember to check out whether the plants you have decided upon need sun, shade, part shade etc.
Other plants that I did not add to this article (and that are a little different for a window box), include hostas and cacti. You might want to add these to your list of possibilities.

The Republican congressman from Wisconsin has some new ideas about the poor
By J.P.P. | WASHINGTON, DC
ASK liberals how to reduce poverty and they usually have a handful of policies ready to go, complete with spreadsheets suggesting their likely impact and a real-life example from a hitherto obscure province of Sweden. Compared with this, conservative proposals on tackling poverty can look thin. This is not necessarily because conservatives are a uniquely heartless bunch, but rather because what they propose is not an answer to the question but a process by which an answer might be reached. Paul Ryan’s recent thoughts on federal anti-poverty programmes, delivered in a report from the House budget committee and remarks to the American Enterprise Institute, fall into this category. Basically, the Republican congressman from Wisconsin wants to disrupt welfare.
If this sounds like a mash-up of Silicon Valley and Detroit, that is no coincidence. Policy wonks are always glancing enviously at the private sector (all those ready metrics for success). And while Mr Ryan ranks among those who believe the government has a role in reducing poverty, he shares his party’s disdain for government bureaucracy and top-down solutions, which often fail to understand the needs at the bottom. The answer? Let the people who actually work with poor Americans create the programmes, and the government can fund the experiments. Some things will work, some things won’t. But this iterative process will discover improvements that a centralised system cannot.
Mr Ryan proposes something he calls an Opportunity Grant, which would bundle together a clutch of overlapping federal programmes and hand over the money to interested states. In return, states would try out new things, evaluate their efforts and share the results. Ultimately instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, programmes would be tailored to the needs of individuals. Poor people would each be paired with a caseworker tasked with crafting a plan to help them escape from poverty. These plans will be funded by the federal government, which means they will function as contracts between the individual and the state. If participants come up short, there will be consequences. Solid research suggests that this contractual approach to fighting poverty can work. Perhaps more importantly, this is a good way to sell anti-poverty measures to people who believe that government programmes always erode personal responsibility. Mr Ryan also wants to inject some healthy competition into the mix. “The state welfare agency,” Mr Ryan told the AEI, “can’t be the only game in town.”
This grand plan does not cut existing funding for the poor, but rather shifts it around a bit. Critics say this handily contradicts with Mr Ryan’s last grand plan, his proposed budget, which promised serious cuts in funding for federal poverty programmes. Some suggest this is evidence that these plans are not about creating workable policies but about burnishing the congressman’s resume before a possible presidential bid. (As Bloomberg’s Noah Smith observes, Mr Ryan “has made a name for himself as an idea man, but this usually entails releasing plans that look bold but won’t work.”) It will be interesting to see how the next House budget handles Mr Ryan’s sudden generosity towards the poor.
Just over two years ago, Mr Ryan warned about the dangers of turning the safety net into “a hammock, which lulls able-bodied people into lives of complacency and dependency.” That hammock came to stand for the view that the Republicans had become the party of rich people—an idea that Mitt Romney’s campaign did little to dispel. Yet Mr Ryan now appears to be steering a new course for Republicans. (In this he is aided by Marco Rubio, a Florida senator, who praises safety nets for the way they enable necessary risk-taking.) It is unclear how much of this is rhetoric and how much might translate into policy. But at a time when so little appears to be getting accomplished anyway, it is refreshing—even encouraging—when at least the messages make some sense.

Periodic Reporting for period 3 - HyPump (Enabling Sustainable Irrigation through Hydro-Powered Pumps for Canals)
Reporting period: 2019-10-01 to 2020-06-30
The product development activities for defining the HyPump design and prototyping its components have been accomplished, based on the marketing requirements. This led to the implementation of the first demonstrator of the HyPump, which operates with an integrated monitoring system. At the same time attention has been paid to settling the correct trade-off between cost targets, regulations and certifications as well as lifetime requirements.
Furthermore, the expected and correct functioning of all components as well as their interaction has been validated throughout the process by means of simulations, prototypes and sampling on both small and full scale.
The aQysta team also worked to develop a design tool able to determine the optimal configuration of the full HyPump system for a given specific application scenario, by studying real application cases. Several canals were analysed for developing a parametric canal model which describes the most critical morphologic and hydraulic parameters of the canals.. Furthermore, the effects of the HyPump on the canal water levels have been simulated and were optimized for seamless integration with the irrigation conveyance, as well as the spacing between multiple pumps within a canal, so to minimize spacing without noticeable power loss. All of these aspects have been integrated in a semi-automatic configuration tool.
Since the beginning of the project, the marketing and communication strategy has been defined and put into practice. After having identified the main stakeholders, the HyPump solution was exhibited at several international trade fairs, at investor events, but also at high-level events including political actors.
In fact, for several irrigation communities, access to electricity entails significant infrastructure cost, as well as substantial investment for implementing drip or sprinkler system and for the electricity cost to operate the pump.
Within this scenario, the socio-economic impact of the HyPump can be summarized in the following key advantages:
•Cost savings. Hydro-powered pumping is the most cost-effective irrigation technology in geographically feasible areas (FAO). HyPump is poised to allow for up to 75% overall savings compared to electric and diesel pumping in case of lands to be modernized (considering infrastructures, operating and maintenance costs), and 37% cheaper than solar pumps. It also provides consistent savings (up to 70%) for farmers who switch from modernized electric pumps to the HyPump.
•Economic sustainability: the estimated Payback time is in the range of 2,6-3,8 years when switching from an electric or fuel-operated system to the HyPump, depending on the size and specific requirements of the irrigated lands. The Cost Benefit Analysis conducted in the Phase 1 on an actual business case in Spain confirmed potential savings for energy costs of almost half a million € over a lifetime period of 25 years.
•Environmental friendliness. The system employs renewable energy as a source of energy for propulsion. The HyPump is completely integrated in the canal and it does not harm the environment, also allowing to significantly reduce the energy footprint compared to electric and fuel pumps.
•Simplicity. The HyPump is simple to maintain and repair, as there are no electronic components, and it’s ideal for rural settings. The system is relatively easy to use, and regular maintenance at the beginning/end of an irrigation season can easily be performed by the farmers, which translates into a significant reduction in costs.

India did manage to score three goals against the Black Sticks in their last match but the defence wilted under pressure and ultimately costed the match.
Japan has an young and experienced team that can be a force to reckon with in the future. The team is still in rebuild phase and India start as the overwhelming favourites for the tie. They put up a good fight against South Korea as they went down 1-2. Skipper Seren Tanaka is one of the star players of the team and a lot will be riding on his shoulders.

It will take upwards of $60 million, but when the renovations are complete at the former J.C. Penney store at Highland Mall, the 200,000-square-foot building will house a world class math emporium, classrooms, a library and congregating spaces for students.
Austin Community College is the owner and developer of the former mall in partnership with RedLeaf Properties.
The ACC staff and board of trustees decided to begin reinventing the site with the J.C. Penney store for several reasons.
One is the sheer size. Each floor spans more than two acres, allowing for a variety of large scale uses.
Though there were two other department anchors to choose from, the development team liked the logistics of the J.C. Penney building best. It had a larger floor-to-ceiling height on the first floor, which would allow for the raised surfaces needed to create the math emporium, according to Bill Mullane, executive director for facilities and construction.
“An additional two feet of vertical made a big difference,” Mullane said.
The second floor, which was made from solid concrete, also made a big difference in that it would not be subject to any significant vibrations in the physics labs.
The math emporium — which will cover about 40,000 square feet including support spaces — will be the largest of its kind in the nation. Staff traveled to Virginia Tech University to study that school’s model, one of the most innovative in the country.
They also selected Barnes Gromatzky Kosarek Architects to handle the redesign.
“They’ve done major retrofits of large buildings and done it successfully,” Mullane said. “We had a lot of really great firms submit and it wasn’t an easy choice, but the board made the final selection.”
BGK has extensive experience in higher education, handling master planning and other projects at the University of Texas, Texas School for the Deaf, Texas State University, Concordia University, St. Edward’s University, Texas Lutheran University and ACC. They also designed the Lester E. Palmer Events Center for the city of Austin.
The J.C. Penney building, which was completed in 1972, provided some unique challenges.
“It’s a concrete box, almost bunker-like. The challenge was how to transform it into an institution of learning,” said Tommy Kosarek, lead designer and principal for BGK.
Bringing natural light into the inner recesses of the building became a driving factor.
As such, the design calls for dozens of windows to be punched out of the concrete and a large skylight built into the roof.
With the building having been vacant for several years — the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency used it for awhile after J.C. Penney closed up shop around 2006 — the mechanical and HVAC systems had to be replaced.
Despite the costs of replacing major elements, Kosarek said the overall economics make a lot of sense.
“I think it’s fair to say that ACC is realizing some significant cost savings by acquiring existing properties,” he said.
They also hope to be certified as LEED silver by the U.S. Green Building Council.
In addition to BGK Architects, the Lauck Group is collaborating on interior design. Flintco LLC is the general contractor. The building will be ready for students when the fall 2014 semester starts.
In the meantime, ACC staff is working with RedLeaf Properties to determine the best uses for the rest of the mall, which is another 1 million square feet.

Demario Bailey / Sumbitted photo
BY SUN-TIMES STAFF
A 15-year-old boy was fatally shot during a robbery attempt Saturday afternoon in the Englewood neighborhood.
Demario Bailey was gunned down about 12:40 p.m. Saturday as he and his twin brother made their way toward Johnson College Prep, 6350 South Stewart Ave., to play basketball, according to police and the boy’s aunt, Michelle Fitzpatrick.
“Some guys came upon him and tried to rob him of his jacket,” Fitzpatrick said. “Our nephew wouldn’t give up his coat, and they shot him in chest.”
Bailey was on a sidewalk in the 0-100 block of West 63rd Street when four people walked up and announced the robbery, according to police.
A gunman among the four then shot Demario, police said.
Demario, of the 7500 block of South Wabash Avenue, died at the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He would have turned 16 on Tuesday, family said.
Later, when his body was taken away, his mother wailed and shouted, “I want my baby back!”
Demario was a sophomore at Johnson College Prep charter school, 6350 S. Stewart Ave.
Though Demario wasn’t on the school basketball team like this brother, he “was basically a part of the team, was always there supporting us,” said Ceddrick Hunter, the school’s basketball coach. “He was the unathletic one. They were twins, always together. He was a good kid, all-around good kid, always respectful.
“There was not an ounce of gang stuff with either one of them,” Hunter said. “He just wanted to be there for his brother, wanted to walk with him to practice to keep him safe.”
Word of the shooting quickly reached the school. Another boy ran the whole way there with the heartbreaking news.
Demario got good grades and didn’t get into trouble, according to Robin Callahan, an assistant junior varsity basketball coach, who said he and his twin are known around school as the “Bailey boys,” hard to tell apart because they’re identical.
“I know I speak for every educator who continuously deals with this type of tragedy in saying we are sick and tired of being sick and tired,” Johnson College Prep Principal Dr. Garland Thomas-McDavid said in an email.
“I speak for every mother who lives on the South Side of this city in saying we don’t mind if it takes [martial law] to get this in order,” Thomas-McDavid said.
Their mother, very protective of her sons, usually drove them most places, according to their aunt. But the boys were getting older and wanted more independence, Fitzpatrick said. On Saturday, she finally let them take the bus to practice.
“She let them go and now …,” Fitzpatrick said, her words trailing off, tears rolling down her cheeks.
School officials said a fund was being set up to help Bailey’s family pay for burial services, and that counseling would be provided for students and staff this week.
A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest, community activist Andrew Holmes said. Anyone with information was asked to call 1-800-UTELLUS.
“We do so much to keep them out of trouble,” Callahan said. “But this not only tears our school apart, it tears our community apart.”
Officials initially said at least one person was taken into custody after the shooting, but those people had been released without charges as of Sunday morning.

The Italian businessman Massimo Cellino has been disqualified from owning Leeds United Football Club by the Football League.
The Football League reconsidered its original decision on the Owners' and Directors' Test, adding another twist to the ownership saga at Leeds.
With speculation of a takeover intensifying in January, news broke that the club's manager Brian McDermott had been sacked by Massimo Cellino, despite the takeover not being officially completed. Shortly after, Leeds released a statement saying McDermott had not been sacked and was still manager.
Contracts were exchanged in early February between Leeds and Eleonora Sport Ltd, the consortium owned by the Cellino family.
In March, the Football League disqualified Cellino after he was found guilty of not paying import duty on a boat in Italy.
Cellino appealed the decision at a hearing of the Professional Conduct Committee (PCC), chaired by an independent QC, and returned to ownership of the club.
In a statement, the Football League said: "The board considered detailed legal advice and agreed unanimously (with the exception of its chief executive, Shaun Harvey, who did not take part in the debate or vote having declared an interest) that Mr. Cellino is subject to a disqualifying condition under the terms of the test.
"Mr. Cellino is entitled to appeal the Board's decision to the PCC within 14 days. As the judgment of the Italian Court has not been published in Italy, The Football League will not make any of its contents public.
"Additionally, the Board concluded that it was appropriate to ask an independent Football Disciplinary Commission (FDC) to consider whether Mr Cellino and/or Leeds United breached League regulations relating to the timely disclosure of relevant information. The matter will be heard by an FDC in due course."

HONORING A FALLEN MARINE Willie Schanrock said plans have been finalized to dedicate a monument to Chris Mabry Tuesday, at 3:30 p.m., at the Lauderdale County Courthouse. Mabry was a 19-year-old U.S. Marine and a resident of southwest Lauderdale County. He was killed in action in Iraq this month. The monument was donated by Burton-Coley Monument Co. of Meridian and a tree donated by The Memory Tree Foundation also will be planted in Mabry's honor at the courthouse. Schanrock, pictured, manager of T.J.'s Menswear in downtown Meridian, began organizing a memorial to Mabry last week. He first asked the city for permission to put the memorial in Dumont Plaza. "They would not let us do that. Why, I don't know," Schanrock said. Bonita Lakes and Highland Park also were considered before county officials approved placing the memorial at the courthouse.

Character sheets, more magic, more plot seeds!
Well, after a pretty successful public playtest session, I've put up the character creation checklist and character sheets in A4 and Letter (so important! Game designers, support both formats! At least for handouts and small stuff?).
Beta v1.4 addresses most of the other issues that T brought up:
- Alternative goals when entering doomed combat with a superior enemy are allowed
- Blending Elder Weed is more free-form now
- Plot seeds for Highland Goblins, Spring Elves, Efaras and Harhunas, including a couple of stat blocks and at least one conspiracy seeking to bring down Harhunas civilization
- FIVE more blends of Elder Weed (mostly not available at start)
- New magic in the Small Folk and Big Folk sections: Songs and rituals!
- Elves are now related to wolves! Kinda?
- Goblins explicitly get two starting languages (Common and Goblin)
- Marshflower halflings explicitly get one useless ability and one special advancement option
- Hillfoot halflings get a Song of Supper!
- You can be born halfling and raised goblin, and vice-versa!
- Plus fixing another pesky broken link!

Chinese like saying “the year’s plan start with spring”. Andea Electronics keep on hard working without non stop in the spring. After PHOENIX RFID Journal Live in April, Andea Electronics starts another business trip to Russia. Our team have some new insight into RFID technology in Moscow and St. Petersburg located libraries this time.
After arriving in Moscow for a simple rest, we went to visit our important customers in Moscow. We were warmly welcomed and our customers exchanged a lot of information about RFID technology in Russian libraries with us. They also took us to visit the local community libraries.
After talking with customers and local library staffs, we know RFID technology in Russian libraries with lower proportion. Due to cost, recognition rate, stability and other constraints, there are different opinions on the large-scale using RFID technology at present. RFID technology is in the stage of universal education in Russia, but the prospects are quite good.
We also introduce other applications of RFID technology to our customers, and discuss the possibility of future cooperation.
We participated in the Russian RFID Forum ID Forum, through which we have a deeper understanding of the Russian RFID market. Russia announced that from 2018, all footwear entering Russia must be equipped with RFID tags. As the Russian government pay more and more attention to the RFID technology, the future of the Russian RFID market is expected.
During our visit to Moscow, we also visited the Russian National Library and the Russian National Children's Library.
The Russian National Library is the largest library in Europe. Its total collection is second only to that of the Library of Congress in the United States, ranking second in the world. The whole library has a solemn momentum, and the statues on the square add some solemnity to the library.
Russian National Children's Library
Ten days business trip in Russia, we not only have a deeper understanding of the local Russian RFID market, but also establish a good relationship with the local RFID companies. In addition, I saw the legendary Red Square, the oldest square in Moscow, which witnessed the occurrence of many major historical events. Wonderful trip!

A typical house usually requires a home wind turbine with a 5 kW generating capacity to meet all its energy requirements. A turbine that offers this much power would have to be around 13 to 18 feet in diameter and positioned in an area where strong winds often pass through. There are also plenty of smaller, cheaper turbines, but these variants produce less power and are less reliable than their more expensive counterparts.
This listing is for: One Heavy 100 Amp Rectifier ---Heavy quality rectifier intended for wind turbine rated for 100 amps continuous usage. ---This item is used to convert 3 phase AC to DC.

Renewable energy (and energy efficiency) are no longer niche sectors that are promoted only by governments and environmentalists. The increased levels of investment and the fact that much of the capital is coming from more conventional financial actors suggest that sustainable energy options are now becoming mainstream. An example of this would be The Alliance to Save Energy's Project with Stahl Consolidated Manufacturing, (Huntsville, Alabama, USA) (StahlCon 7), a patented generator shaft designed to reduce emissions within existing power generating systems, granted publishing rights to the Alliance in 2007.
Turbines used in wind farms for commercial production of electric power are usually three-bladed. These have low torque ripple, which contributes to good reliability. The blades are usually colored white for daytime visibility by aircraft and range in length from 20 to 80 meters (66 to 262 ft). The size and height of turbines increase year by year. Offshore wind turbines are built up to 8(MW) today and have a blade length up to 80 meters (260 ft). Usual tubular steel towers of multi megawatt turbines have a height of 70 m to 120 m and in extremes up to 160 m.
A Wind Turbine Generator is what makes your electricity by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Lets be clear here, they do not create energy or produce more electrical energy than the amount of mechanical energy being used to spin the rotor blades. The greater the “load”, or electrical demand placed on the generator, the more mechanical force is required to turn the rotor. This is why generators come in different sizes and produce differing amounts of electricity.
Renewable energy technology has sometimes been seen as a costly luxury item by critics, and affordable only in the affluent developed world. This erroneous view has persisted for many years, but 2015 was the first year when investment in non-hydro renewables, was higher in developing countries, with $156 billion invested, mainly in China, India, and Brazil.
In an electricity system without grid energy storage, generation from stored fuels (coal, biomass, natural gas, nuclear) must be go up and down in reaction to the rise and fall of solar electricity (see load following power plant). While hydroelectric and natural gas plants can quickly follow solar being intermittent due to the weather, coal, biomass and nuclear plants usually take considerable time to respond to load and can only be scheduled to follow the predictable variation. Depending on local circumstances, beyond about 20–40% of total generation, grid-connected intermittent sources like solar tend to require investment in some combination of grid interconnections, energy storage or demand side management. Integrating large amounts of solar power with existing generation equipment has caused issues in some cases. For example, in Germany, California and Hawaii, electricity prices have been known to go negative when solar is generating a lot of power, displacing existing baseload generation contracts.
The home wind Generator systems are designed for reliable power output for the next 30 years or so. With every price increase of the utility company power your investment gets better all the time. Utility costs are rising all over and will accelerate over the next few years. We expect the cost of electricity to rise and double over Obamas term in office due to cap and trade and increased regulation and market pressure.
Photovoltaics were initially solely used as a source of electricity for small and medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solar cell to remote homes powered by an off-grid rooftop PV system. Commercial concentrated solar power plants were first developed in the 1980s. The 392 MW Ivanpah installation is the largest concentrating solar power plant in the world, located in the Mojave Desert of California.
