Alastair has over 10 years’ experience leading research activities in scaled, high-growth industrial and technology markets. At Interact Analysis he is responsible for electric trucks and buses, autonomous trucks and off-highway electrification.
Tesla’s delayed announcement regarding its electric semi truck will be made on the 16th of November. Ahead of that we review what is known and what some of the likely options are to Tesla.
- Tesla’s own freight needs could provide initial volume, truck autonomy test bed, green supply chain
- Battery swapping unlikely
- Vocational and bus market could hold key
Tesla’s Own Logistics Could Provide Semi Truck Test Bed
Elon Musk has, if nothing else, proven adept at reusing technology and ideas throughout his companies. At the top is his own personal brand that sustains momentum across his ventures, but there are more tangible examples such as the sharing of components – the Model S inverter technology is shared with the Supercharger and battery technology is shared between the vehicles and its Powerwall energy storage product).
Tesla has a growing logistics need which could provide a captive market for its trucks to help scale production of its truck business and get driving miles to collect real-world data to improve its truck-based autonomous driving systems.
Some of the rationale that might drive this decision include:
- The primary driver is likely the need to provide a ‘real world’ test bed for the truck and its autonomous systems. Even allowing for secretive testing, the trucks have very little ‘real world’ miles to help fine tune engineering/production issues – traditional semi trucks drive hundreds of thousands of miles over their lifetimes. It’s unlikely that freight operators are going to want to use significant volumes of Tesla trucks without more evidence of reliability and efficacy. Furthermore, to build reliable, effective autonomous vehicle software it is necessary to ‘train’ them using data gathered from real world vehicles. By deploying trucks into its own fleet Tesla would be able to collect data quickly and efficiently to hone its self-driving software.
- Tesla’s stated aim is to “accelerate the advent of sustainable transport”. Rationally, it makes sense to use an electric semi-truck within its own supply chain to reduce the use of diesel trucks and trains. This is more in tune with its corporate philosophy and will likely appeal to Tesla’s Evidence for this can be seen in Tesla’s warehouse expansion at the Oaks Logistic Center, where all three buildings are LEED Silver certified.
- Currently, Tesla ships batteries and other parts by rail from its gigafactory to its Fremont production facility. The distance between Tesla’s gigafactory and Tesla’s Freemont production facility is anywhere between 258 miles and 269 miles depending upon route. The new Oaks Logistic Center is closer still. Based on the various reported ranges of the Tesla semi-truck and equivalent vehicles from other manufacturers, this would be achievable on a single charge. This would provide ample distance to test the electric truck and also trial/road test vehicle platooning.
Battery Swapping Seems Very Unlikely
It has been suggested that battery swapping may be a viable solution for Tesla’s electric semi-truck (here), supposedly given credence by the fact that Tesla has filed a patent for battery swapping in its cars (here).
We do not believe that battery swapping is an effective solution for cars or for trucks. Here is our rationale relating to trucks:
- Battery swapping technology/facilities are very capital intensive. Tesla has already invested heavily in a supercharger network and it seems unlikely that they will invest heavily for a second time in ‘refuelling’ infrastructure. It also seems unlikely that they could convince facilities that receive Tesla trucks to invest in this technology.
- Fleet operators often operate trucks from more than one vendor. Fleet operators or logistics providers might be willing to invest in battery swapping technology if the cost/justification could be amortised across more than one vehicle provider. Since no other truck OEM is promoting electric vehicles with battery swapping capabilities the risk of investing with subsequent low usage seems too high to bear.
- Battery technology is advancing at a pace that would jeopardise any sort of RoI on battery swapping. Tesla’s battery partner, Panasonic, recently stated it expects to achieve a 30% improvement on energy density with existing technology. It is very likely that the capacity, and therefore range, of batteries will improve sufficiently in 5-7 years to invalidate the need for battery swapping.
- There are multiple electric bus manufacturers who already use overnight, plugin charging or fast, route based charging to power their vehicles, not battery switching.
- Despite the recently filed patent, Tesla has moth-balled the single battery swap station it built because of low usage.
A better approach for Tesla might be to offer fleet operators discounted or free charging through the Supercharger network. If – and it’s a big if – Tesla can make good on its commitment to ramp solar capacity, fleet costs could be lowered significantly.
In its announcement in 2016 about its Master Plan Part Deux, Tesla stated that it had interest in heavy-duty trucks and high passenger-density urban transport (buses). Although it states it believes these will be autonomous and smaller than traditional buses, it is curious that Tesla doesn’t pursue the current opportunity for electric buses, this despite Musk recently being lukewarm on the idea.
The market for electric buses is growing strongly, driven by demand for non-polluting public transportation in a wide range of urban areas. This is likely to be a long-term trend as more cities recognise the impact of poor air quality and legislate against polluting vehicles. There are numerous truck and bus OEMs supplying to this market already, often utilising powertrain and chassis components across vehicle types. It is reasonable to assume that the technology developed for a Tesla semi truck could be re-configured for a passenger vehicle.
Proterra, an electric bus start-up reports significant total cost of ownership savings for electric buses versus diesel, CNG and hybrid. This will appeal strongly to municipal transport providers
Tesla may feel it is too much of a distraction, or that it cannot add value, but a play for a growth market with strong long-term demand may appeal to shareholders. It’s also noteworthy that, in the US at least, there is sizeable government and state funding available to purchase electric buses. Tesla has shrewdly used government funds in the past and there is no reason it shouldn’t here.
There wasn’t much fanfare when Peterbilt Motors demoed an electric refuse truck earlier this year. However, vocational vehicles used in urban environments – refuse trucks, utility vehicles – are likely going to need to be electric in the future to meet strict urban emission and noise restrictions. Tesla could leapfrog the competition by developing a range of electric urban, vocational vehicles based off its semi-truck platform. This would give it significant differentiation in the truck market and, again, would appeal to urban authorities looking for ways to improve air quality. Tesla could also bring value through more sophisticated use of technology in the vocational market, an industry which is quite traditional and slow to adopt new features/functionalities.
Trucks and buses are major contributors to air pollution, particularly in urban areas. Whilst they don’t attract the attention that passenger vehicles do, the benefits of electrification and autonomy are just as great, if not more so. Based on early reports, Tesla seems to be aiming for a mid-range truck capable of city activity or limited inter-city activity.
Class 4-8 truck sales are in the range of 450,000 to 500,000 units per year in the US alone (Tesla’s likely primary market). Capturing only 5% of this market would represent 25,000 units annually or, based on a retail price of US$150,000, close to US$4bn in sales per year from the US alone.
Of course, this pre-supposes that Tesla will pursue a traditional ownership model. The cost of purchasing, maintaining (service, parts), fuelling and providing a driver for a traditional Class 8 truck easily exceeds US$1m over a ten-year period.
Electric vehicles are cheaper to service, maintain and fuel than their diesel counterparts. Driver costs could be reduced in the longer term using autonomy. By disrupting the truck aftermarket with a subscription-based fright model could see Tesla drive far higher revenues whilst simultaneously lowering the total cost of ownership for fleet operators.
Finally, if Tesla is serious about its ambitions in the truck market it will need to focus on executing deliveries and/or availability of service on time. To date, buyers of its cars have been, to a degree, tolerant of delays because they are excited about a new product. Tesla will find the logistics market much less forgiving.

Defense, baserunning contributed to M's playoff miss
OAKLAND, Calif. — With the math firmly in place, and the Mariners ensured of extending their postseason drought to an MLB-worst 16 seasons, the season’s final week marks a shift within the organization to determine what went wrong.
The early public statements from manager Scott Servais and general manager Jerry Dipoto suggest the Mariners won’t simply point to the chaos created by a injury-depleted rotation as the sole reason for their underachieving season.
“You’ve got to execute and make the plays.” Servais said Saturday after the Mariners made five errors in an 11-4 loss to Cleveland.
“That’s what it takes to get into October. Throughout the season, we have not done that. That’s why we’re in the situation we’re in. We’ve got to get better. We know that.”
The impact of injuries to the pitching staff is undeniable. The Mariners, if current plans hold, will get only 69 starts from their projected five-man rotation. They’ve tied an MLB record by using 40 pitches and tied a club record by using 17 starters.
Nonetheless, defensive breakdowns and baserunning lapses reached unacceptable levels and torpedoed any chance offered by a weak wild-card field for the Mariners, even with their patchwork rotation, to reach postseason.
September offered an opportunity but, as Dipoto noted, “we decided we didn’t want to walk through” the door.
There are many ways to measure defensive efficiency. All are flawed, but virtually all are unkind to the Mariners.
Entering the season’s final week, they ranked 12th among the 15 American League clubs in fielding percentage. They were ninth in total zone rating, which seeks to measure whether a player makes the plays he should make.
The Mariners also ranked eighth — dead in the middle — in runs saved above average.
Servais makes a key point, though, in saying the Mariners’ defense needs to be above average because, “We don’t have the type of pitching that’s going to strike 10-to-12 guys out every night. You’ve got to catch the baseball.”
If the defense has been average, the Mariners’ baserunning has been atrocious.
The latest example came Sunday, when Kyle Seager got doubled off first base on a fly to left field, which killed a promising threat in what became a 4-2 loss to the Indians in the season’s final game at Safeco Field.
The Mariners, through Sunday, have run into 55 outs on the bases. While four other AL clubs are worse, that’s somewhat misleading. Those four clubs — Houston, New York, Boston and Texas — have also “taken” more bases.
The truer measure of the Mariners’ baserunning inefficiency is their BsR rating, which is an all-encompassing baserunning metric developed by Fangraphs.com and readily available on its website.
The Mariners rank 12th among AL clubs in BsR with an assessment that they’ve given up 12.4 runs this season on the bases.
Even that is deceiving because outfielders Jarrod Dyson (plus 5.6) and Ben Gamel (plus 3.1) skew the figures. The rest of the club is a combined minus-21.1 runs on the bases.
“I’ve learned that we are largely inconsistent in our approach to the game,” Dipoto said in a recent interview on 710 AM, “I think a re-focus on fundamental baseball is important for us.
“It’s the small things you do during the course of a game that over 162 games start to add up to big things. We just haven’t done them very well this year.”
When Dipoto (or any club official anywhere) cites a need to “re-focus on fundamental baseball,” what he’s effectively saying is,”We do too many stupid things.”
Engineering such a baserunning and defensive fix will be interesting because, after two years of extensive changes, the Mariners’ non-pitching roster appears reasonably set going into next year.
They will need a first baseman because Yonder Alonso and Danny Valencia are each pending free agents. Backup catcher Chooch Ruiz is also a pending free agent.
Any or all three are candidates to return on a new deal, although the Mariners are likely to give a hard look at possible alternatives available through a trade or free agency.
Dyson is also a pending free agent but falls into a different category precisely because he excels at baserunning (as noted above) and defense.
Despite missing the season’s last six weeks because of a sports hernia, Dyson still leads the Mariners and ranks seventh among AL players with a 1.7 defensive WAR (wins above replacement) rating.
If the Mariners don’t retain Dyson, they need someone much like him.
“Some of (the problem) was just the lack of attention to detail on all of our parts,” Dipoto said. “We’re going to have to … figure out how to solve that problem headed into next year.
“But I’m very confident in the talent level that we have on the team, (that) at least (we have) the foundation to build with.”
If the Mariners don’t dramatically change their personnel, that means improvement must come from within, which likely means a change in instruction and/or the instructors, i.e., the coaching staff.
“It’s starts with me,” Servais acknowledged, “then the coaching staff and down through the players … Every out is so crucial in this game.”

Where have you been?
I know….I’m very late with my blog post! It’s mid-June and I am only now about to share with you what kept me occupied during the months of March and April. Hopeless!
The truth is I needed some quiet time to put my head down and write! I felt pulled to create. Every week I wrote consistently. For me this was a huge feat. As I mentioned in my last post, over the past few months (or even year) I wasn’t left with much space to create, and I’ve now made a conscious decision that I do all I can to find the time to write.
Dedicating March and April to my writing practice (amongst working at my other job and being a mum to two kiddos) was just what I needed. I can proudly say that I have now completed drafts for a middle grade fantasy novel and several picture books. I am really excited by what I was able to produce by devoting time to what I love doing.
The middle grade novel has taken a substantial amount of time to write. It been a huge growth experience. I have learnt a lot in the process. I have to give a shout out to a dear friend of mine (you know who you are) who checked up on me each week to see if I was working on this novel and to let me know I was not alone in the process, it was comforting to know someone was there beside me as I wrote this story. Last year, the initial draft of this novel was chosen as a finalist in the CYA All Stars writing competition. It was judged by publishers from Allen and Unwin, which was a truly magical moment for me and just the encouragement I needed to keep chasing my dreams. I also pitched this story to three other publishers who have expressed their interest in the draft and my writing. Their kind words continue to push me forward.
As I’ve been focused on my writing I haven’t been out and about much. However, I did seize the opportunity in April to participate in the fabulous Goulburn Book Fest. I adore the Goulburn community. The Goulburn library is a warm and welcoming place – a safe haven. The day was also just what I needed, giving me a good dose of courage to continue to put myself out there, follow my heart and love of writing. I was amazed that my books sold out at the event. I also spoke to some gorgeous people including a Sydney based teacher librarian who told me that Aussie Kids: Meet Matilda at the Festival is the most requested book at her library. Magical moment!
So, for those wondering where I have been, please know that silence just means I’m working. I’m still chipping at my dreams. I’m still here.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MONTH
Aussie Kids: Meet Matilda at the Festival was a dream come true to write I’ll forever be grateful for the opportunity & to have the privilege of celebrating my home of Canberra through the story.
A lovely day @goulburnlibrary Book Fest 2022

The Viking Rhine River Cruise
We Corinthians are never still. Loading our boats we cruise the Florida coasts–North to South, East to West–island hopping in between. But this time we flew over an ocean to our destination, Basil, Switzerland, and the starting point of our Viking River Cruise.
Twelve couples arrived just in time for a buffet lunch on board the Kvasir. We stowed our baggage and hoped we had packed the right clothes for the predicted temperatures. But, alas, the fickle weather turned warm and some of us had to buy extra shorts or repurpose the bathroom sink into a washing machine.
As we snaked our way along the Rhine River, we glided by the medieval towns dotting the banks passing through parts of four countries in one week: Switzerland, Germany, France, and The Netherlands. Our first docking was in Breisach, Germany where we traveled by bus into the Black Forest. And the forest isn’t black, but covered with evergreens where the fairy tales of Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood were born. We learned how cuckoo clocks are made and watched demonstrations on baking a Black Forest Cake–samples passed around. Some took the World War II tour visiting the sites and museum in Colmar.
Arriving early the next morning in Strasbourg, we piled into buses for different destinations of a city tour, wine tasting and winery tour, and the Mercedes Factory. Needless to say, the factory excursion was quite popular with the men offering a unique and fascinating opportunity to witness state of the art automobile manufacturing. It was the highlight of the cruise for many.
Germany is famous for its castles and our next stop was Worms and a tour of the Heidelberg Castle, a lovely ruin surrounded by green woods, sitting high above the city seeming to float among the clouds. It was abandoned over 300 years ago and still houses the world’s largest wine barrel made from 130 oak trees once holding 50,000 gallons of wine. While we were at the castle, the Kvasir cast off to pick up the group at Mainz. Then, after lunch, moved again to Rudesheim where we finally roosted for the night. Many of us boarded a mini-train for dinner and entertainment at the Rudesheim Schloss located on the Drosselgasse. The energy of the oom-pah-pah band encouraged some of our group to throw inhibitions aside and simultaneously down shots of schnapps without spilling a drop. After this rowdy dinner we returned to the ship in time for a glassblowing demonstration. The fun never stopped!
At the junction of the Rhine and Mosel, lies Koblenz, another (surprise!) Roman settlement. We wasted no time piling on the buses again for a visit to the Marksburg Castle, headquarters of the German Castle Association which protects and preserves castles and stately homes. Walking through the gates and over the drawbridge of this 700 year old structure, we realized this was a castle of fortification and protection, not a princely palace. We visited the bed chamber, kitchen, wine cellar, and the armory featuring over 2000 years of weaponry and amour. The requisite torture chamber and privy drew the most interest. The privy contained an outhouse type of seat and hung from the side of the castle wall over the grounds. It also posed a threat to the safety of the inhabitants with sneaky alien soldiers able to climb up through the hole into the castle. To thwart this maneuver the privy door was always bolted shut from the outside. The guide also told us that, when in use, the door was left open so the occupant inside wouldn’t miss any of the dinner conversation.
The Romans established a major settlement in Cologne and their stamp is everywhere. Some visited the Roman Germanic Museum where the centerpiece of its collection is the 220 AD Dionysus Mosiac, a floor in amazing condition discovered in 1941 by workers building an air raid shelter. Great treasures are often discovered with the turn of a shovel. Of course the greatest treasure is the Cologne Cathedral, a gothic masterpiece taking six centuries to build. The massive interior, capably seating 20,000 worshippers, was illuminated with candles and streams of light filtering through the stained glass windows. It is a World Heritage Site and houses the shrine of the three wise men. Outside, flanking the cathedral is a large work pit where the stone masons are kept busy with continual repairs and renovations.
Another treasure was the discovery of the world’s oldest fragrance company. Over 300 years ago, Italian perfumer, John Maria Farina, created the first modern perfume which reminded him of an Italian spring morning after the rain. The shop was adorable and bustling with shoppers. There was a list of previous buyers including Queen Victoria, Voltaire, Mozart, Napoleon, Mark Twain, Princess Diana, and Bill Clinton. With those recommendations, we knew we had to buy a few bottles.
Our last port of call before disembarking in Amsterdam was Kinderdijk, land of the windmills. The day was full with tours of the windmills, an excursion to a Dutch cheese maker, and a Dutch Masters presentation in the ship’s lounge–with a farewell dinner to top it all off. From the ship we could see the flat landscape dotted with these “ground sailors” lined up along the canals. They’re still used to pump the contained water, held in by dykes, into the reservoirs. Built from brick, their large slow turning sails come within one foot off the ground, a testament to Dutch ingenuity.
All too soon we arrived in Amsterdam and the rush to collect baggage and a mad dash to airports or other destinations. We came away with “camaraderie” on our lips–surely that was the best thing about our cruise–the strengthening of friendships and bonds. We had a lot of laughs, many toasts with glasses filled with fine regional wines, and a few blisters on our feet. We talked excitedly about where our next adventure might be–the Royal Clipper in the Med or maybe Cuba. But we’re a travelin’ bunch with itchy feet. I know it won’t be long till those feet begin to itch again telling us it’s time to get movin’. There is no doubt we will.

Medjacking – Monday, Sept. 21, 2015
College Professor, Dr. David Armstrong, believes that teaming up with U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security can prevent future attacks on medical technology put into patients.
Medical technology like insulin pumps and pacemakers are at risk for hacking.
Dr. David Armstrong believes there are two reasons why someone would want to hack a person’s medical devices:
- for narcissistic reasons
- for money/identity theft
He also says that a person’s medical information is worth 20 to 30 times as much as their credit card information on the black market.
Experts say that these items are at risk for Medjacking:
- X-ray equipment
- PET &CT Scans, MRI Machines
- Infusion Pumps, Lasers, Lasik
- Heart& Lung Dialysis
Experts are working on security for medical devices.


The current scenario has drastically decreased the demand and disrupted the supply chains. Today's organisations are heavily dependent on new age digital technologies to ensure efficient processes, quality and compliance. this technologies has become the inseparable component and have to be adopted by organisations to ensure desired outcome.

Last week’s rumor became true Monday as Volkswagen has moved to pull the plug on its World Rallycross Championship participation at the end of the 2017 season.
By now, everyone knows that Audi will be leaving the prestigious World Endurance Championship (WEC) next year.
It is probably just as well that Volkswagen isn’t repairing the turbodiesel engines caught up in the Dieselgate scandal because it is possible the fix that the automaker has installed in 1.23 milli
Although this may sound like an advertising come-on, it isn’t. In a moment, it will become apparent.
Now that the courts have approved the final Dieselgate class-action lawsuit settlement, it’s time to figure out how to file your claim. Fortunately, Volkswagen has made the process simple.
Turning back attempts to change the final terms of the Dieselgate class-action suit settlement, Judge Charles Breyer Tuesday gave thumbs up to the final agreement.
About a-quarter of the Audi 3.0-liter V-6 turbodiesels involved in the Dieselgate scandal may be repurchased by Volkswagen, the automaker’s parent.
But can a wagon give the GT-R some grief around a track? If said wagon happens to be the Audi RS6 Performance, then yes.
Although you may be worried that some nefarious hacker will take over your Volkswagen Golf GTi, Audi A4 or Genesis G80 and cause it to careen all over the place, hitting other cars, trucks, animal
For 2017, the Q7 crossover will get Audi's smallest engine sold in the U.S. - a 2.0L TFSI four-cylinder engine. The 2.0 TFSI produces 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
Dieselgate just keeps on bumping into things in the house called Volkswagen. And, it looks like the latest victim may be Audi’s commitment to the 24 Hours of LeMans and similar enduros.
And, the consensus is this: Audi’s redesign of the Q5 is, well, something.

I met Olivia a year ago for her Newborn photography session, she was so tiny and cute! Mum and dad requested to incorporate some sunflowers for Olivia's Newborn photos and wanted to include some with her cake smash as well. Olivia is one now and she is just the cutest thing ever! I love this set up, simple and pretty.
Alfie loved his cake smash photography session. Isn't he adorable!
Mum wanted this simple natural theme which turned out lovely.
I always start with a couple of portraits of your baby on their own before the cake comes out,
and then it's best to include some bath photos afterwards to get cleaned up.
There are usually some favorites amongst the bath photos :)

Look forward to hearing from you!

Inter Milan were credited with an interest in Olivier Giroud for more than a year and he came close to joining them in January before Chelsea blocked his exit.
Since then, the striker signed an extension with the Blues and has seen his first team opportunities being limited this season.
On November 25th, we carried a report from Calciomercato, who explained the idea of playing under former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte at the San Siro ‘teases’ the 34-year-old.
Another report from the same website now claims the ‘idea’ of having a ‘physical centre forward’ has been the Nerazzurri manager’s ‘obsession’ for a year. Giroud could be one of the options, along with Napoli’s Arkadiusz Milik.
Frank Lampard has expressed his desire to retain the France international, but Calciomercato states the Premier League side are ‘open to free’ the player ‘under the right conditions’.
It’s claimed the Italian club had the former Arsenal frontman ‘in their hands’ a year ago and discussions can open with a view to signing him in January. However, a potential move will depend on the Champions League.
This would suggest Conte’s chances of having Giroud or another striker will depend on their progression in Europe’s elite club competition. The Serie A side are currently bottom of the group table after collecting two points from four matches and are five points behind second placed Real Madrid.
In addition to this, Inter will also have to battle with clubs from France as the attacker will not be short of suitors from Ligue 1.
Giroud wants to play more in the second half of the season and whether it’ll be at Chelsea or another club remains to be seen.

US President Joe Biden’s administration announced Monday that 20 internet companies have agreed to offer discounted services to low-income Americans, a program that could effectively put tens of millions of households at risk through an already existing federal subsidy for free services.
The $1 trillion (approximately Rs. 5,800 — in tribal areas) infrastructure package passed by Congress last year, providing Internet services to millions of low-income households.
With the new ISP pledge, around 48 million households will be eligible for $30 monthly plans (ca. Sign up with one of the providers participating in the program.
Biden made expanding high-speed Internet access in rural and low-income areas a priority during his White House tenure and infrastructure bill efforts. He has repeatedly spoken out about low-income families struggling to find reliable WiFi so their children could attend distance learning and do homework early in the coronavirus pandemic.
“If we didn’t know it before, we know it now: high-speed internet is essential,” the Democratic president said last month during a White House event honoring the national teacher of the year.
The 20 internet companies that have agreed to lower their rates for eligible consumers provide services in areas where 80 percent of the US population lives, including 50 percent of the rural population, the White House said. Participating companies providing services in tribal areas will pay fees of US$75 (approximately Rs. 5,800) in those areas, which is equal to the federal government subsidy in those areas.
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were scheduled to meet with telecom industry executives, members of Congress and others Monday to shine a spotlight on efforts to improve access to high-speed internet for low-income households.
The providers are Allo Communications, AltaFiber (and Hawaiian Telecom), Altice USA (Optimum and Suddenlink), Astound, AT&T, Breezeline, Comcast, Comporium, Frontier, IdeaTek, Cox Communications, Jackson Energy Authority, MediaCom, MLGC, Spectrum (Charter Communications ), Starry, Verizon (Fios only), Vermont Telephone Company, Vexus Fiber and Wow! Internet, cable and television.
American households are eligible for subsidies through the Affordable Connectivity Program if their income is at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty line or if a family member participates in one of several programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

FPO - Fiber Potential Analyzer online
The FPO Fiber Zeta Potential Analyzer Online is an innovative measuring device for the fully automatic and accurate determination of the Zeta Potential of fibers and fillers in the paper and board production process.
Until now, the zeta potential of fibers and fillers was determined by the help of lab devices (FPA/FPA touch! Fiber Potential Analyzer). Because of the time difference between sample taking and availability of the test results, a reaction to changes in the process is only possible with delay. Besides this, there is not enough time for a permanent process control, with the FPA/FPA touch!.
The new emtec FPO Fiber Zeta Potential Analyzer online uses the established measuring principle of the lab device FPA/FPA touch! and provides accurate results fast and reliable. This allows an immediate change of process settings in case it becomes necessary, which at the end helps to save money, time and material.

Vidya Balan Recalls How A Director Insisted Her To Visit Hotel Room And How She Handled It
Actress Vidya Balan has opened up about her 'not so good' experience with a director when asked if she has ever been a victim of casting couch.
During a recent interview, Vidya recalled how she handled an uncomfortable situation with a director, who 'insisted' they go to his hotel room when they met for work.
Vidya Balan Opens Up About Her 'Casting Couch' Experience
According to reports, when asked about her ordeals with the casting couch in the industry by Humans Of Bombay, Vidya Balan shared that she never had a “tryst with the casting couch” and is “very fortunate” in this regard.
However, once, a director “insisted” she went to his hotel room and she "did a smart thing." Vidya Balan said that she deliberately left the door of the hotel room open so that the director knew “that the only way for him was out."
The 'Kahaani' actress said that she didn't understand, because she was alone.
How Vidya Balan Handled A Director Who Insisted They Go To A Hotel Room?
“But I did a very smart thing. When we went to the room, I left the door open. And then he knew that the only way for him was out. So, I don't really believe that I've had an experience with the casting couch. There was no suggestion made, there was no proposition made. But this was a sense, a vibe I picked up. And I reacted to it. Self-preservation kicks in, and a woman's instinct…And then I got thrown out of that film,” Vidya Balan said in the interview.
Recently, Vidya made headlines for her funny videos on Instagram.
Vidya Balan shared a video in which she can be seen hilariously portraying Sunil Grover from The Kapil Sharma Show. The video posted on February 23 by Vidya Balan has left people ROFL. Even, comedian Sunil Grover reacted to Vidya Balan's hilarious Instagram post.

Blaming the government for everything
Whose fault is this, anyway?
If we listen to some folks, like those who recently gathered in
Washington, D.C., to celebrate Glenn Becks evangelical coming out
party, its the government that has caused this entire economic mess.
They created it and we need to cut them down to size in order to fix
what they have wrought. Less government, lower taxes, then everything
will be all right, again. (Never mind that at the federal level more
than 95% of us are already paying lower taxes.)

A good friend called last night, and challenged me to come with him for a morning session of photography today. To get up at 06:15 AM in the middle of the Christmas holidays is a bit of a challenge all by itself, but once we got started the rest came quite naturally.
It was pretty cool in more than one way, and on one occasion I nearly got my nose stuck to the metal on the vertical part of the L-bracket. From then on I used my left eye with the viewfinder. :)
The sun had a couple of hills to overcome before spilling its rays around us. The above shot was taken at 09:40, and was one of the last I got before we turned back for family duties.
Lovely to be Out There and make some pictures again.

OJIO BAOBAB POWDER
Free Shipping on first Earth Shift Order
South Africa, the southern-most country on the African continent, is one of the most diverse places on the planet. Home to thousands of different species, South Africa is said to be home to as many as 10% of the known species on Earth. In the far northeast corner of South Africa, near the northern boarder with Zimbabwe and the eastern border with Mozambique, lies the stunning landscape of the Limpopo Province. It is in this area, that the vast majority of South Africa’s Baobab trees are rooted.
This is an area that dates back to the dawn of humanity.
The baobab tree has been called the primordial tree of life for thousands of years. In recent years accomplished researchers and anthropologists consider the African continent to be the origin from which mankind emerged. African Folklore speaks of how the baobab was amongst the first trees to appear on Earth. But when the tall and slender palm tree appeared, the baobab saw this graceful tree and asked to grow taller. Then the brilliant Flame Tree emerged with its bright red blossoms and the baobab became envious of its beauty and asked to bare flowers. When the baobab saw the wonderful fig tree bearing nourishing fruit appear on earth it became wistful again and prayed to bare fruit as well.
As lore has it, the universe gave the tree all it desired, but hearing enough of baobab’s discontent the universe pulled the tree up by its roots and planted it upside down just to quit its restless longing.
This colorful story truly compliments the baobab tree in that along with its unique beauty and stature, it has provided nutrient rich sustenance since the dawn of time.
The baobab tree takes many years to fruit and most of the harvest comes from trees that have been standing for one hundred years or more. The fruit pulp, which is often dried and ground into a fine powder, has the most marketable nutritional value. Notable nutrients include Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Sodium, Phosphorus, Amino Acids, Pectin, Fiber, and Vitamin C.
Organic Whole fruit baobab powder has:
More than double antioxidant level of Goji Berries, and more than six times that of cranberries, blueberries and blackberries.
Two times more calcium than milk
More iron than red meat
Four times more potassium than a banana
More magnesium than spinach
Pectin and both soluble and non-soluble dietary fibers that stimulate intestinal micro flora acting as a prebiotic.
African cultures have a long history with Baobab and have devised uses for everything from the fruit and the leaves to the seeds and the bark. The trees themselves have even been used as shelters from time to time. There is even a 5,000 year old gigantic baobab tree in nearby Modjadjiskloof that was hollowed out some 500 years ago. Today the tree, which is over 30 feet wide, has been turned into a wine cellar and pub. Bottoms up.

Yatooma on Kilpatrick: ‘We have him by the texticles’
Birmingham lawyer Norman Yatooma deposed ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick for the second time last Tuesday in a federal lawsuit filed by the family of a woman said to have danced at a rumored-but-never-proved wild party at the Manoogian Mansion in 2002.
After the contentious deposition, in which Kilpatrick refused to answer some questions, invoking his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, Yatooma expressed confidence in winning his suit against the city for botching the investigation into the woman’s subsequent murder.
How confident is he? “Whether he tells the truth, whether he lies, whether he pleads any amendment — I can’t help myself — we have him by the ‘texticles’ ,” Yatooma said. “We absolutely positively have text messages here that he can’t run from,” Yatooma said, referring to Kilpatrick’s text messages with former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty that forced Kilpatrick to resign and landed him in jail.

Hong Kong, 9th October 2008 - Hong Kong-born conductor Perry So has been appointed the Hong Kong Philharmonic’s Assistant Conductor (Education and Community Programmes) following a successful audition in front of Maestro Edo de Waart and the entire Orchestra last month.
Perry So came to the attention of the classical music world in April this year when he won both 1st Prize and the Special Prize at the Fifth International Prokofiev Conducting Competition in St Petersburg.
“I was very impressed by Perry’s strong natural musicality and the fluidity of his technique during the audition,” commented Maestro de Waart. “A survey of our musicians showed that he won strong support, which is very important for a young conductor taking up a position like this.”
As Assistant Conductor (Education and Community Programmes), Perry So will conduct the Hong Kong Philharmonic’s increasing number of education programmes for school students and university students, adult education programmes and concerts in the community. He will also present a number of pre-concert talks and music education seminars and will advise the Hong Kong Philharmonic on it programming in the areas of education and community outreach in order to expand the Orchestra’s reach and invest in audiences of the future.
The position of Assistant Conductor (Education and Community Programmes) has been made possible under the Hong Kong Government’s Venue Partnership Scheme. The Hong Kong Philharmonic was selected earlier this year as a Venue Partner of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre for 2008/09 and 2009/10.
The Hong Kong Philharmonic’s Chairman Edward Ho announced the appointment on Wednesday 8th October. “We are delighted to have been able to identify an outstandingly talented young conductor from Hong Kong to work with the Hong Kong Philharmonic in our ever-increasing education and community outreach projects. This post has been made possible under the Venue Partnership Scheme and the Hong Kong Philharmonic is very proud to have been selected as a Venue Partner of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.”
On receiving news of his appointment, Perry So commented, “I am deeply honored by this opportunity to work closely with Maestro de Waart and one of Asia’s finest orchestras. Music has a tremendous power to inspire, even to change lives, and I am thrilled to help bring the work of the Philharmonic to different communities all across Hong Kong.”
Perry So’s first appearances with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra will be in two specially designed concerts for university students featuring music of Mozart and Mendelssohn. The first will take place in the Academic Community Hall of Baptist University on Thursday 9th October from 6pm to 7pm and the second will be in the Chan Tak Tai Auditorium of Lingnan University on Friday 10th October at 5pm.

At this point, we will explain how to teach in the sparking control points — so-called beacons.
With COREDINATE you have the possibility to use sparking control points – so called beacons.
These beacons work with Bluetooth© technology.
Before you teach beacons into the system in the following, the customer and at least one area to which these beacons are to be assigned must be created.
This can be useful for patrols or large halls where the employee just needs to walk through to document their presence, which works even when the screen is off — provided the employee is logged into the COREDINATE app!
Beacons can be detected in a tour and also directly from the start page. However, the beacon does not jump — like an NFC chip — into the matching area!
Please log in to the app first.
On the home page, please tap Administration. You are now in the Administration menu:
After that, tap on Teach beacon.
Now tap on the area in which the beacons are to be taught.
You may still get a message that Bluetooth is deactivated. Then please tap on Open settings.
Now please turn on Bluetooth (you will see all available Bluetooth devices detected by the mobile device) and go back to the app.
The beacons that are available or within range are now displayed here.
Now tap on a beacon and give it a name (e.g. main entrance, warehouse center, etc.). The description is optional.
Now tap Save and the beacon is saved in the portal.
The next step should be to set the threshold of the beacon, which determines at what distance the beacon will be detected as scanned.
Please wait until the bar in the following display is completely gone, then the distance of the beacon is learned, in which distance the cell phone can detect the beacon.
You generally do not need to capture a threshold, but it is always advisable so that the beacon can be captured more easily.
Once you change the phone, it makes sense to adjust the threshold of the beacons again, because each device manufacturer installs different hardware that interprets the Bluetooth signal with different sensitivity.

Whilst staying at Duinrell Holland: An Exciting Easter Break on a Budget! a day trip to Amsterdam was high on the agenda! The link above will tell you all you need to know about budget travel to Amsterdam, as we were staying in Holland without a car, we relied on public transport. It was efficient, easy and always on time, but as a family of 5 could become quite expensive! I think if we travelled again I would hire a car to keep the costs down. Most Dutch people use an OV- chipcard which reduces the cost of travel significantly, unfortunately as a tourist ( if only doing a few journeys) the cost of buying one is just not economical. However, that said the opportunity to visit the capital was still well worth the cost of train tickets.
Getting to Amsterdam from Duinrell– There are a couple of public transport options. The Journey will take about 1 hour 20 minutes .
- The first option is to catch the number 44 or 444 bus from the entrance of Duinrell (they come every 15 minutes). The cost of the tickets is 4 Euro per person, you can’t use cash on the bus but can pay by contactless card. (Children pay 2 Euros, we went on a number of buses and they didn’t charge for the children). This bus will take you to the Hague Railway Station. Head down the escalator where you can buy tickets for the journey. Adults cost 25 Euros return, a children’s Rail Runner costs 2.50 Euros and lasts all day (total journey cost for 2 adults and 3 children, 80 Euros).
The scenery from the train into Amsterdam during April was beautiful, as we meandered past field of Tulips and Windmills, it was lovely to sit back on the clean and efficient transport watching the colours passing by:
- The Second Option is to walk for 1/ 2mile through the beautiful town of Wassenaar to the number 43 bus stop. The walk is straight forward and we managed it fine with three children, you even pass a windmill (Google maps will help you with the simple route).
From here take the bus to Leiden, and jump straight on the train to Amsterdam (total journey cost for 2 adults and 3 children, 60 Euro).
Taking into account the return journey time from Duinrell is 3 hours, our time in Amsterdam was limited and precious!! For anyone who has tried to rush children around a city, it rarely works, and isn’t much fun! With this in mind we thought about alternative options for getting around and seeing as much as possible! Given we were in Holland, the logical answer was ……. BIKES!!
I AM BIKE- The bike tour with a difference
I am bike offered the perfect solution, the bike big enough for 6 people allowed us to explore parts of Amsterdam we would never of known existed- with some exciting surprises along the way! Bike hire for 3 hours costs 70 Euro for the large bike, and 50 Euros for the smaller 4 seater option. Although this seems initially pricey, when broken down it was just over 10 Euros per person, but this included a trip to a clog and cheese making factory, a city farm with an awesome playground not to mention a beautiful picturesque windmill (high on everyones must see things in Holland)!
I am bike is situated in the famous Albert Cuyp Market, located 10 minutes from Central Station (take tram 16 from stop 4, and get off at Marie Heinekenplein, you can buy tickets onboard).
Margaret who works at I am bike is very helpful, and she will help you choose the self guided tour that suits your needs. Maps can be downloaded onto your phone and a paper version is also available. We managed 3 hours with only a small detour. We opted for the “cheese and clog tour”, which started in the local park before heading down a beautiful canal, only a very small proportion of this tour was on roads, so was perfect for our needs.
Top Tip: After a few minutes on the canal you will come across a gateway to Amstel Park, it is well worth stopping here. The park has a petting zoo with a number of farm animals that the children can walk around with and stroke. The park also has a large playground, which the kids loved. It was a great stop and added bonus to the tour… plus completely free!
The cycling is easy, and despite a full load and only 3 people with legs long enough to reach the pedals, we found it’s easy enough and enjoyable… there was minimal moaning as the kids ate snacks and took in the sights. Fifteen minutes further along the canal you will come to a lovely windmill, which was peaceful and quiet, and a great spot for a photo.
The final stop on our cycling journey was the Rembrandt Cheese and Clog Farm, a traditional farm, making Clogs and Gouda Cheese. Entry and tours are free.
The friendly tours and displays are just the right length for families and really interesting and informative. The children enjoyed seeing clogs being made from a solid lump of wood, and the cheese was good enough to take home. The gift shop has a number of affordable “pocket money” gifts for the kids to buy….or real clogs if you fancy it!
Using the bike tour really optimised our morning in Amsterdam, we saw a lot of great things, without exhausting ourselves or the children. We all thought the bike was really good fun, and would highly recommend it for those travelling with children. After a quick lunch, we were ready to head over to the NEMO Science Museum.
