In the ever-evolving world of technology, the role of museums is transforming from being repositories of historical artefacts into dynamic hubs for digital engagement and education.
Alongside our passion for design and digital innovation, we've shared a passion for history with many clients over the years and we are excited about what the future holds for museum experiences online.
Bringing history to life through digital archiving and an interactive website presents an opportunity for museums to engage with wider audiences in new, exciting and immersive ways. This digital revolution allows museums to preserve the past while ensuring accessibility for future generations.
Preservation & Accessibility
Digital archiving breathes new life into historical artefacts and documents making them accessible to a global audience. In a world where the past is vulnerable to damage or degradation, this digital preservation also offers valuable protection and ensures that the stories of our ancestors remain preserved for generations to come.
But digital archiving is not limited to physical artefacts alone. It reaches deep into the social history of yesteryear, unveiling personal stories, diaries, letters, photographs, news clippings and other relics of everyday life. This immersion into the lives of ordinary people, and the storytelling opportunities it presents, allows us to make history more relatable and engaging.
Digital archiving also simplifies research through the creation of comprehensive indexes and search functionalities. Users can effortlessly search for specific topics, keywords, or dates, saving them time and making historical research more efficient and accessible.
Extending & enhancing the museum experience
High definition artefacts
High-resolution imagery and advanced scanning techniques allow users to analyse historical objects with unprecedented clarity. The National Gallery of Art, for instance, provides users with incredibly high-resolution images (see example above), enabling them to explore the intricate details of artworks. Users can zoom in and uncover the hidden details behind each painting's creation, offering a fresh perspective on the artist’s processes.
Another example of this would be the TuckDB Postcard library which takes us on a journey into our social history by offering high-resolution scans of postcards from bygone eras.
Multimedia content, such as audio and video, provide an additional layer of context that brings history to life through oral history, reenactment or narration from experts and historians. The Natural History Museum, for instance, offers a wealth of integrated videos and engaging educational guides for its visitors.
Interactive 3D Artefacts
With the help of 3D modelling and scanning technologies, museums can now create interactive, 3D representations of their artefacts. This technology allows users to virtually handle and examine objects, as if they held a white-gloved VIP pass to the museum.
The British Museum for example offers hundreds of interactive 3D models, such as the example above, granting the public the ability to explore objects from every angle. In an exciting development, they even offer 3D-printed replicas of parts of their collection.
Immersive VR Experiences
While digital archives make history more accessible, they cannot replicate the physical interaction that visitors can experience with artefacts at the Museum itself. There is a unique connection to history that comes from touching and feeling objects and emotional triggers and core memories created from the sights, sounds and architecture of a place. There's something unique about standing before an exhibit that also allows you to more fully appreciate the scale of an object.
Also, exploring a digital exhibit, while convenient, can hinder the sense of discovery that can occur in a physical museum when stepping around a corner to reveal a real unexpected hidden treasure.
Through the power of virtual reality (VR) however, museums are now able to transport users not only inside an exhibit but back in time to explore historical settings and events, creating a unique, immersive experience. Imagine being a fly on the wall at some of history's greatest moments!
The Tate Modern is a great example of this and invites visitors to immerse themselves in Modigliani's Paris art studio through VR, while the Freud Museum allows users to step inside the London exhibit using the same technology.
As VR technologies continue to progress who knows what other senses they might be able to incorporate into this digital experience.
Museums are now also exploring the use of augmented reality (AR) within their spaces and the Science Museum already offers apps for download via their website, including the Wonderlab AR app, which reveals the wonder of science all around us.
Museums are evolving into collaborative spaces, allowing users to contribute their own historical content, from family stories to photographs and memories. This community-driven historical archive brings people together to celebrate their shared history whilst facilitating organic growth of a collection.
In conclusion, the digital age is reshaping how we engage with history and connect with our ancestry. Museums have become more than repositories; they are now dynamic, educational and accessible hubs for exploring the past.
It's an exciting journey, and as technology continues to evolve, our connection to the past will hopefully grow stronger with it.

The draft budget for the year 2019 of the Ministry of Environment received a favorable vote on Monday by the specialized committees of the Parliament with 19 votes for and 8 votes against.
None of the 11 amendments submitted was accepted, according to Agerpres.
“I want this year to be at least as favorable as 2018. We want to absorb European funds with great value for the benefit of the citizens. We want the Environmental Fund Administration – AFM budget to be approved very quickly. We will continue the Rabla Program in 2019, for the 15th year”, said Minister of Environment Grațiela Gavrilescu during the hearings.
“At the same time, the Rabla Plus program will continue this year, and the increase compared to 2016, when it was launched, is from 45 electric cars bought by the Romanians to 1,400 purchased in 2018. We also need the household appliances to be replaced, and the budget of 25 million lei allocated for 2018 was exhausted in just three days.”
“At the same time, for e-cars charging stations, the project submission session for municipalities is ongoing until 31 March. Another important program is the installation of photovoltaic panels, whereby every citizen can also become a small electricity supplier. Another project refers to the awareness and information of the population regarding the selective collection of waste, which will be financed by the Environment Fund”, Gavrilescu said.
Asked about the future form of environmental stamp (car tax, previously), Gavrilescu said that setting a new penalty has proved to be no easy thing “because you have to take into account a multitude of formulas”.
“We are on schedule with payments, and by June 30 we will observe out promise in respect to all the amounts. We said we have to put a penalty instead, but it has turned out to be not so easy to do it, because you have to take into account a multitude of calculations, European directives (…). I admit that maybe it was too much enthusiasm from my side, but I think I did not make a mistake when I announced it”, the Minister said.
The budget forecast published on the website of the Ministry of Public Finance (MFP) provides for the Ministry of Environment an allocation of 580,3 million lei, in 2019, up by 44.37% compared to the preliminary execution of 2018 (401,9 million lei). Commitment credits are also estimated at 580,3 million lei, a 28.44% increase compared to last year.
The current expenses would be at 514,4 million lei, 49.74% higher compared to the previous year, while for goods and services 108.610 million lei would be allocated, by 15.09% more than the value in 2018.
At the same time, the personnel expenses will have an allocation of 190 million lei (+9.98% compared to 2018).
Also, the projects with financing from non-reimbursable foreign funds for to the 2014-2020 financial framework are set at 153,96 million lei, an increase almost eight times increase compared to the previous year’s allocation.
For the Ministry of Environment, the financing sources are: 91.26% from the state budget, 0.17 non-reimbursable external funds and 8.57% of own revenues, according to Agerpres.

Think Again: For once, the good guys win
by Jonathan Rosenblum
June 12, 2008
Charles Enderlin is not going quietly into the night. On May 23 a French appeals court dismissed the libel suit he and France2 brought against media critic Phillippe Karsenty, arising out of the latter's charge that Enderlin and France2 had duped the French public with their September 30, 2000 broadcast of the "death of Muhammed al-Dura" at Netzarim Junction. In his voice-over that night, Enderlin, who was not at Netzarim Junction during the events in question, unambiguously claimed that the boy in the film clip had been killed by Israeli fire that deliberately targeted him.
With the dismissal of his suit, Enderlin joined Oscar Wilde and Alger Hiss in the pantheon of those who brought libel suits and ended up destroying their own reputations. He has announced, however, that he will appeal to the French Supreme Court. And his friends in the French journalistic community are circulating a petition claiming that he is the victim of insane conspiracy theorists.
My friend Larry Derfner apparently shares that view. He wrote in these pages on May 28 that anyone who believes that France 2's broadcast was a hoax belongs in an asylum along with 9/11 deniers. According to Derfner, Karsenty, Boston University history professor Richard Landes, and Luc Rosenzweig, former editor-in-chief of Le Monde, are victims of Jewish paranoia.
Larry admits that every word Enderlin said in his voice-over was false: There is no evidence that the boy and his father were targets of Israeli fire. Nor was he killed by Israeli fire. Yet, he writes, evidence of a journalistic hoax does not amount to .001 percent of the evidence that Shimon Peres masterminded the Rabin assassination. At most, Karsenty, Landes, et al. have gathered a few of the "oddities" favored by wacked-out conspiracy theorists.
ENDERLIN DISTRIBUTED the France 2 clip free of charge, and it was subsequently broadcast thousands of times. The image of the terrified boy cowering behind his father quickly assumed iconic status. It featured prominently in mass anti-Israel demonstrations in Europe, where it was juxtaposed to the image of the Jewish boy with his hands raised in the Warsaw ghetto.
To heighten its impact, Palestinian TV cropped into the France 2-clip pictures of an Israeli soldier firing. The image of "Muhammed al-Dura" beckoning other Palestinian children to join him as martyrs in paradise features prominently in the Palestinian death cult. His name was invoked by the Ramallah mob that disemboweled two Israeli reservists, in Osama bin Laden's 9/11 video, and in that of Daniel Pearl's beheading.
One would have thought that those who doggedly exposed one falsehood after another and provoked Enderlin and France 2 into their ill-fated libel suit are deserving of praise, not ridicule. At the very least, we would expect their accusers to show some minimal familiarity with the evidence they have amassed and to make some attempt to refute it.
Let's consider some of the "oddities" that are firmly established. Palestinians regularly fake media images and lie shamelessly. Recall Hamas legislators meeting by candlelight with the curtains drawn in what turned out to be the middle of the day, or the 5,000 Palestinians reportedly massacred in Jenin, or the family of eight supposedly killed by Israeli fire on Gaza Beach, who turned out to have stepped on Hamas-laid mines. Professor Landes coined the name Pallywood for these Palestinian media hoaxes, and documents a slew of them at his Web site Second Draft.
For the Palestinians, media is a pure propaganda tool. Thus Riccardo Cristiano of Italian national TV felt compelled to compose a craven letter to the Palestinian Authority stating that his station would never have broadcast the Ramallah lynch because it fully understands the rules of reporting from the PA.
FROM THE general to the particular. The sole footage of "Muhammed al-Dura's death" was that of Palestinian cameraman Talul Abu-Rahmeh working for France 2. Abu-Rahmeh is a liar. On October 3, 2000, he testified under oath to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights that there had been 45 minutes of sustained Israeli fire directed at the man and boy. As an experienced war reporter, he could verify that they could have only been hit by Israeli fire. Abu-Rahmeh claimed to have filmed 27 minutes of the fusillade. Later he told German documentary filmmaker Esther Schapira that he had filmed six minutes.
We now know that the boy could have only been hit by Palestinian fire. The story of a 45-minute fusillade was on its face laughable: Had Israeli soldiers wanted to kill Palestinians, they had dozens of rioters immediately in front of the Israeli stockade from which to choose. Moreover, Abu-Rahmeh's entire footage of the man and boy consisted of 58 seconds comprised of six spliced scenes.
The rest of his 27 minutes of footage - only 18 minutes of which France2 produced when ordered to do so by the French appeals court - consists of obviously staged scenes, according to three veteran French journalists who viewed it. The "al-Dura" footage was shot in the same area that Abu-Rahmeh and other Palestinian cameramen spent the day shooting such staged scenes.
Abu-Rahmeh once declared, "I went into journalism to carry on the fight for my people," and was certainly not above employing his camera for a bit of deception. A Reuters clip from the day shows him filming another staged scene involving a Molotov cocktail. That scene was inexplicably omitted from the rushes produced in the French court.
Whether Charles Enderlin knew from the first that his voice-over was false is unclear. That he lies is certain. He drew for gullible journalists a false map of Netzarim Junction, which wrongly placed the Israeli position in a direct line of fire to the man and the boy. Worse yet, he repeatedly claimed that he had edited out the last three seconds of the "al-Dura" footage because the boy's death throes were too painful to watch.
THERE WERE no such death throes. In those last three seconds, the boy lifts his head, peeks out from under his arm (with which he is shielding his eyes) prior to resuming a prone position - albeit with his leg still held aloft. A nearby mob chants, "the boy is dead, the boy is dead," before he even lies prone the first time. Enderlin drew twitters of laughter in the French courtroom when he offered that perhaps the crowd was anticipating the boy's death.
Not only is there no dead boy on the film. There is no sign of blood or wounds of any kind. In other footage from the scene, civilians are seen passing by the crouching man and boy - some running, some strolling but all apparently oblivious to any rifle fire. (See Nidra Poller, "Myth, Fact, and the al-Dura Affair," Commentary, Sept. 2005).
Over the years, more holes have developed in the al-Dura story. Phillipe Karsenty revealed that Jamal al-Dura had been treated many years earlier in an Israeli hospital for the same wounds later shown to journalists as corroboration. And Sami el-Soudi, a Palestinian journalist working for Metulla News Agency, found records of a boy named Muhammed al-Dura admitted to a Gaza hospital four hours before the filming at Netzarim Junction.
As his original tale unraveled, Enderlin adopted a fallback position: Even if his voice-over was totally wrong, it still reflects the "reality" of the Israeli occupation: Israelis killing Palestinian children. That too appears to be Derfner's position: Nothing must be allowed to absolve Israel of guilt for the occupation.
The al-Dura affair, it turns out, was not just about Israeli culpability, but about the very concept of Truth itself.
Fortunately, this time the good guys won.

Transvision Vamp - Tell That Girl To Shutup (Extended Mix)
Fronted by the irrepressible Wendy James, Transvision Vamp was formed in 1988 and signed that same year to MCA Records. The first single they released with MCA was a cover version of a Holly & The Italians tune titled "Tell That Girl To Shutup." While the name Holly & The Italians may evoke images of a 60s girl group singing sweetly on the Ed Sullivan show, they were actually a punk band that formed in the late 70s and became a staple on Blondie's various tours. They released "Tell That Girl To Shutup" in 1980 to very little fanfare. Their version of the song is raw, unproduced and struts that I-don't-give-a-shit attitude which permeated punk in the late 70s.
Tranvision Vamp's cover version (recorded only 8 years later) still maintains some semblance of the original spirit, but manages to whitewash the entire song with a chic dancefloor veneer. How could it not -- the song was produced by Zeus B. Held (known for his work with the likes of Men Without Hats and Dead Or Alive). If Holly was the leather-clad badgirl who carried a knife to school, then Wendy was the unattainable bitchy cheerleader surrounded by all the jocks.
Many people remember Transvision Vamp for the single they released the following year... "Baby I Don't Care". It rose to #3 in the U.K. whereas "Tell That Girl To Shutup" stalled at #45 (though on U.S. charts, it hit #87). Both songs would've been good choices for this week's track, so I flipped a coin and "TTGTS" won the toss.
The version I've posted is the extended version taken from the 5" UK CD Single. Another mix called 'The Knuckle Duster Mix' also exists, but it was released as part of TV's greatest hits CD so it is neither rare nor out of print. The extended version is a bit more true to the classic 12" mixes of 80s (nothing radically remixed, just extended). Enjoy!

Objective: To determine whether body fatness, aerobic capacity, and fat distribution are associated with levels of cardiovascular risk factors in children. Methods: Subjects (N = 57) were 7 to 11 years of age; their percentage of body fat ranged from 10% to 58%. The percentage of fat was measured with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, maximal aerobic capacity was measured on a tread-mill, fat distribution was expressed as the waist/hip circumference ratio, and blood pressures were measured with an automated monitor. Measurements of several lipoproteins and apoproteins were combined into one atherogenic index. Results: The percentage of fat was related to the atherogenic index (ρ = 0.38; p >0.01) and insulin level (ρ = 0.78; p >0.001). Aerobic capacity was inversely related to the atherogenic index (ρ = -0.27; p >0.05) and insulin level (ρ = -0.72; p >0.001). The waist/hip ratio was not related to the risk factors, and blood pressures were not related to fatness or aerobic capacity. In multiple regression analyses, only fatness explained significant independent proportions of the variance in the atherogenic index and insulin level. After control for fatness, the black children had higher insulin levels (p >0.05). Conclusion: At early ages (7- to 11-year-old children), fatness was related to risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. (J PEDIATR 1994;125:847-52).

The Du Mauriers (Virago Modern Classics)
Daphne Du MaurierISBN: 1844080641;
Book DescriptionSpanning nearly a century, this is the enthralling saga of the famously artistic du Maurier family, written by its most celebrated member. When Daphne du Maurier wrote this book, she was only 30 years old, yet she was already established as a biographer and novelist. The Du Mauriers was written during a vintage period of her career, between two of her best-loved novels: Jamaica Inn and Rebecca. Her aim was to write her family biography "so that it reads like a novel." It is due to du Maurier's remarkable imaginative gifts that she was able to breathe life into the characters and depict with affection and wit relatives she never knew.

If a discharge occurs, electronic components can be damaged. In the worst case, flames can form with flammable gases and liquids. Such electrostatic charges can be found with the gauss meter. The electromagnetic field meter is therefore used for checking in ESD-protected production workshops. The measuring range of the electromagnetic field meter is ±60 kV DC.
The gauss meter can be grounded with the alligator clip included in the scope of delivery so that the electromagnetic field meter does not lose its measurement result itself or, if necessary, damage components in a production workshop due to an electric shock. The lasers on the electromagnetic field meter are used to optimally align the sensors.
In addition to measuring radiation, the gauss meter can measure ambient temperature and humidity at the same time. For mobile use, the electromagnetic field meter is operated with a 9 V block battery. The operating time for the electromagnetic field meter is a maximum of 20 hours. The current battery charge is displayed by the electromagnetic field meter via the battery status indicator.

Bangalore, October , 20: Organic food supply seems to have found a new space in recent years, prompting Hopcoms to go the organic way. dh photo
Outlets of the Horticultural Producers’ Cooperative Marketing and Processing Society (Hopcoms) across the State may go organic, if the pilot venture becomes successful, Bharatlal Meena, principal secretary, department of Agriculture has said.
In addition to the four Hopcoms outlets that are already organic, it was announced recently that 25 others would get a makeover. Hopcoms also looks to price the products competitively, lesser than the rates at which the private producers are selling them.
Minister for Agriculture Krishna Byregowda had announced at the recent launch of the Karnataka State Organic Certification Agency that, in order to ensure a wider supply of organic food substances, Hopcoms outlets would go organic.
“Apart from this, we will have awareness programmes and make the concept of Hopcoms fully organic. Hopefully, such a venture will provide a platform for the producers,” said Meena.
Organic food supply seems to have found a new space in the City in recent years.
“A number of private brands have involved themselves in the manufacture and sale of organic food products, making them easily available to the people. If we are able to provide them at a relatively lesser price, it will become lucrative for both farmers and the consumers,” Meena said.
“The 100 acres of land promised to organic producers has already been provided at the taluk level,” he said.
“In the name of organic food, a number of stores sell items that are heavily priced. Hopcoms’ venture will be great only if the prices are kept at an affordable level and are easy on the pockets of middleclass families,” said Promila Dey, a housewife.
Certification is being provided to the producers of organic food substances by the government, as of now, at various levels. There are visits made by a team at each level, testing the growth, soil condition, branding and the like. After a complete assessment, certification is done.

October 9, the North Caucasian District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don (Russia) extended the measure of restraint against the Crimean Tatar activists involved in the “Hizb ut-Tahrir case” (the first Bakhchysarai group) for three months, the public association Crimean Solidarity reported on Facebook.
Lawyers of the Crimean Tatar activists participated in the meeting via video link from the Crimean Garrison Military Court controlled by Russia.
Reference: The Crimean Tatars tried in the so-called “Hizb ut-Tahrir case” Zevri Abseitov, Remzi Memetov, Rustem Abeltarov and Enver Mamutov were detained on May 12, 2016 in Bakhchysarai after a series of searches in their homes, as well as in a local cafe. They were accused of terrorism and called members of Hizb ut-Tahrir organisation, which is recognized as terrorist in Russia.
All participants of the “first Bakhchisarai group” were transferred to Rostov-on-Don to continue the trial.
Earlier, the “court” in Crimea decided to return the case to the court of first instance.
The so-called case of Hizb ut-Tahrir has become a “hallmark” of the Russian Federal Security Service struggle against dissident Muslims in the Crimea. Under the pretext of suspicions in terrorism, calling their repressive actions a fight against extremism, Russian security forces break into homes, carry out massive illegal searches and detentions.

Articles written in Journal of Chemical Sciences
Volume 133 All articles Published: 3 February 2021 Article ID 0002
Quinone-based macrocyclic compounds have been proposed as promising electrode materials for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). To improve the electrochemical performance, in this paper, two heteroatom-bridged pillarquinones (namely, oxa- and thia-pillarquinones) are presented as active cathode materials for LIBs. The geometry structures, electronic structural properties, and electrochemical properties of these new species are calculated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) at the M06-2X/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. Two heteroatom-bridged pillarquinones possess higher theoretical specific capacity (659 mA h g-1 and 582 mA h g-1 for oxa- and thia- pillarquinones, respectively) than that of parental pillarquinone (446 mA h g-1). The electrochemical performances of oxa- and thia-pillar[ 4]quinones are predicted theoretically to be superior to those of pillarquinone as cathode material for LIBs. Compared with oxa-pillarquinone, thia-pillarquinone is predicted to be slightly more suitable as cathode electrode material. These results may provide fresh ideas and guidelines for enhancing the performance of quinones organic electrode materials for LIBs.
Two heteroatom-bridged pillarquinones, Oxapillarquinone and Thiapillarquinone, are proposed as the electrode active molecules. The lithium storage mechanisms and electrochemical properties are investigated by using DFT calculations. The results show that the heteroatom-bridged pillarquinones are predicted theoretically to exihibit a better electrode material performance than the parent pillarquinone

"Boffa Miskell is proud of our role in this landmark project”
The Waterview Connection has received international recognition at the Los Angeles Business Council’s Architectural Awards, winning the Tripartite Award. This award fosters design and collaboration between sister cities Los Angeles, Auckland and Guangzhou in China, and acknowledges commitment to shared urban development and sustainability goals.
Peter Whiting, a senior principal landscape architect at Boffa Miskell, travelled to Los Angeles to accept the award with a contingent of Well-Connected Alliance representatives from NZTA and Warren + Mahoney Architects.
“The partners in the Well-Connected Alliance sought for the project to deliver world-class infrastructure, along with good community and ecological outcomes, and Boffa Miskell is proud of our role in this landmark project,” said Whiting.
“The landscape and urban design works, which Boffa Miskell led, were significantly less than 5% of the total project budget; yet these spaces have had a profound impact on the perception of the project from the public.”
As a result of the severance caused by five-plus years of above-ground works associated with the tunnel project, the Board of Enquiry determined that the large open space areas within the motorway alignment were able to be revitalised.
Boffa Miskell led the design and installation of passive and active public recreation assets, including Valonia Reserve and Waterview Reserve Skateparks, the Waterview Shared Path, and Waterview Playground.
Te Auaunga/Oakley Creek was required to be relocated as it sat directly over the motorway alignment. The stream had been channelised and a drain in the 1930s and this was an opportunity to restore and naturalise one of Auckland’s longest urban streams, while providing community amenities throughout the surrounding reserves.
Aspects of Waterview have been recognised by the NZIA, the World Architecture Festival, the Designers Institute of New Zealand, and have been short-listed for NZILA Awards.
The project partners credit Waterview Connections success to the close and enduring relationships with the local community, mana whenua, Auckland Council, Local Boards and Auckland Transport.
The Well-Connected Alliance includes the Transport Agency, Fletcher Construction, McConnell Dowell, WSP, Beca Infrastructure, Tonkin & Taylor and Japanese construction company Obayashi Corporation.

Review: Propaganda Blitz: How the corporate media distort reality by David Edwards and David Cromwell (Media Lens) 312pp Pluto Press 2018 £14.99
‘A generation ago, Venezuela’s capital was one of Latin America’s most thriving, glamorous cities; an oil-fuelled, tree-lined cauldron of culture that guidebooks hailed as a Mecca for foodies, night owls and art fans.’ Such was the opinion of Tom Phillips, The Guardian’s current Latin America correspondent on 18 December 2018. A generation is usually reckoned as 30 years. Just under 30 years ago, Caracas’s ‘foodies, night owls and art fans’, almost by definition privileged and wealthy, may have been further entertained by the violent suppression of the Caracazo in February 1989, when up to 2,000 people were massacred in Caracas as they protested against a devastating onslaught on their living conditions. The same political and social forces which lay behind the slaughter were behind the attempted coup against President Chavez in 2002, and, with the open support of US imperialism, are organising to overthrow President Maduro through a campaign of economic sabotage and political destabilisation. Gangs have targeted schools and hospitals, symbols of the achievement of the Bolivarian Revolution. But Phillips is not interested in this: he continually whitewashes the right-wing opposition as democrats, and uses them uncritically as sources. His articles on both Venezuela and Nicaragua are full of virulently reactionary nonsense, but because they appear in TheGuardian, they acquire an apparent intellectual cachet.

Growers in the Southeast face a scary nightmare that doesn't just occur during Halloween.
The fright is caused by glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth—a type of pigweed—and it's a growing nightmare, according to an Alabama Cooperative Extension news release.
“For farmers, it's actually scarier than Halloween,” says Mike Patterson, an Alabama Cooperative Extension System weed scientist and Auburn University professor of agronomy, who has been closely monitoring the rapid progression of the weed.
Desperate to contain its spread, farmers already have hand pulled resistant pigweed off some 15,000 acres of Georgia cropland.
“Workers are pulling up the entire plants—root and all—out of the ground and loading them on a wagon, then piling them up on the edge of the field,” says Patterson.
As farmers have discovered through experience, merely chopping isn't enough. Only root-and-shoot removal will work; otherwise weeds return with a vengeance as new plants sprout from the roots.
Patterson's Georgia counterparts estimate that more than 1 million acres of cropland are infested with the resistant weeds, which are spread not only through seed but also via pollen.
The resistance is the result of repeated spraying glyphosate, the generic name for the broad-spectrum herbicide that's marketed as Roundup and Touchdown, among other names.
The advent of Roundup Ready crops, such as soybeans and cotton, that can withstand glyphosate applications, hastened the resistance. In most Roundup Ready cropping systems, growers make two glyphosate applications over the crop. In addition, they may use the herbicide as a preplant burndown.
University of Georgia researchers already are working with U.S. Department of Agriculture counterparts to identify other ways to attack the weed. They've discovered that pigweed seed may typically degrade after only three years in the soil.
“That may be one of the weak points of this weed, which is a good thing,” Patterson says. Other weed seed, such as sicklepod and morningglory, may survive for decades in the soil.
Researchers are searching for ways to keep these fields clean—managing them so that germination doesn't occur, leaving pigweed seed to decay in the soil.
“That's the only way we're going to beat this thing, unless chemical companies come up with another weed-control system similar to the Roundup approach,” says Patterson.
“But don't hold your breath on that one, because Roundup represented a once-in-a-lifetime discovery that is not likely to be repeated.”

England in West Indies: Trevor Bayliss says tourists must be 'tougher'
England must become "tougher" if they are to avoid the collapses that cost them the first Test against West Indies, says coach Trevor Bayliss.
The tourists were bowled out for 77 in the first innings and lost their last six wickets for 31 runs in the 381-run defeat in Barbados on Saturday.
England were criticised for a lack of competitive games before the series.
But Bayliss told BBC Sport: "It's more of a mental thing. We've got to say, 'we're not giving our wicket away'."
Part-time off-spinner Roston Chase took 8-60 as England were bowled out for 246 on the fourth evening.
A succession of batsmen fell to loose strokes on a reliable surface at the Kensington Oval, against a bowler whose 42 Test wickets before the match came at a cost of 47 apiece.
- Preparation and selection not to blame - Root
- West Indies crush England in first Test
- Criticism of West Indies by Flintoff and Boycott 'disrespectful'
- 'They picked the wrong team and played rubbish' - TMS podcast
Collapses have undermined England's batting, particularly at the top order, for the past two years, and their first-innings capitulation came only 10 months after they were bowled out for 58 by New Zealand in Auckland.
"We've got some homework to do," said Bayliss, who will step down after four years in charge following the Ashes against Australia in September.
England have responded to their two most recent defeats by winning the next match.
Having lost to Pakistan by nine wickets at Lord's in May 2018, they won at Trent Bridge by an innings; and followed up a 203-run loss against India at Trent Bridge in August with a 60-run victory at Southampton.
"Every time we've played like this the guys have come out and played pretty well in the next game," said Bayliss.
"They're hurting; they know they haven't played well. That'll kick them into gear, or it should do."
The second Test of the three-match series in Antigua starts on Thursday.

State Highway Department v. DawsonAnnotate this Case
253 P.2d 593 (1952)
126 Colo. 490
STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT et al. v. DAWSON et al.
Supreme Court of Colorado, en Banc.
November 17, 1952.
Rehearing Denied January 5, 1953.
Duke W. Dunbar, Atty. Gen., H. Lawrence Hinkley, Deputy Atty. Gen., and Edward L. Higbee, Asst. Atty. Gen., for plaintiff in error.
Darrow, Mincer & Petre, Glenwood Springs, for defendants in error.
Defendants in error, as plaintiffs, filed this action on March 26, 1949, against defendant to recover for the agreed price for gravel taken from the lands of plaintiffs under an "option to buy material" dated August 8, 1947. The gravel in question was taken and used by defendant on the Blue Mountain cut off highway project in Rio Blanco county; it undisputably appears from the record that this particular highway project was set up prior to July 1, 1947; an allotment of appropriated funds therefor was approved prior to that date; and said funds for this project were "ear marked" for this particular project. Defendant *594 moved to dismiss on the general ground that the action was not maintainable because it is against a department of the sovereign state, and is, therefore, immune. This motion was overruled and answer filed. After various motions concerning the different causes of action and defenses were filed, a pretrial conference was had and certain admissions were made and stipulations entered which virtually removed all factual questions from dispute. Counsel for defendant announced that they elected to stand upon their motion as made and would not contest the factual issues to be presented at the trial. The ex parte trial or hearing was had, resulting in a finding by the court that defendant had removed 49,867.1 tons of gravel at the agreed price to be paid of 12 cents per ton; further that the price of 12 cents per ton was a fair and reasonable price; that defendant is indebted to plaintiffs in the sum of $5,984.05, together with interest at six per cent per annum from the first day of September, 1947, in the sum of $1,112, together with costs expended; and judgment was entered on the findings.
Error is specified in four specifications of points which are, in substance, that the lower court erred in overruling the motions to dismiss on the ground that defendant is immune from said suit because the suit is an action against the state in its sovereign capacity; that so far as recovery was to be based upon a contract, the complaint fails to show compliance with chapter 3, '35 C.S.A., known as the Administrative Code of the State of Colorado; that the contract was not executed in accordance with said administrative code; and finally, that the court erred in granting judgment in favor of plaintiffs for interest and costs.
As we said in the case of Boxberger v. State Highway Department, Colo., 250 P.2d 1007, 1008, "This is not an action in tort, nor is it one to impose liability upon the state, nor for the recovery of money that would finally come from the funds of the state treasury, neither would any political or governmental power of the executive branch of the state government be invaded through the relief sought." The general principle thus announced definitely applies to the case at bar, because no additional burdens would be cast upon the funds of the state highway department. In support of this reasoning we find that here defendant highway department anticipated its needs, knew the extent of its liability and set aside and "ear marked" money for the cost of gravel on this particular project, and the cost thereof was a part of the expenses for which these funds had already been allowed and allocated. These facts make this case and Boxberger v. State Highway Department, supra, wholly and clearly distinguishable from the case of Mitchell v. Board of County Commissioners, 112 Colo. 582, 152 P.2d 601, relied upon by defendant highway department herein. The Mitchell case, supra, was an action brought by a landowner against the highway department claiming damages to his land in the construction of a highway and bridge and if he recover for a tortious action, then a judgment would have to be satisfied from the funds of the department and therefore be an additional burden. Here no further liability would accrue other than that anticipated and for which provision is made.
Section 105(5), chapter 143, volume 4, '35 C.S.A., provided that the state engineer shall have the power to "Acquire by purchase or condemnation stone or gravel beds and any other material suitable for highway construction." (Italics supplied.) No doubt could exist that defendant highway department, in the instant case, could have condemned the gravel here taken in the event payment therefor could not have been agreed upon. Proper business-like action under the statute in making contracts for purchase, to avoid condemnation proceedings, should be looked upon with favor and is to be encouraged. When defendant highway department attempts to operate under the particular statutory power above set forth, the rights and responsibilities that follow are the same as those of individuals in ordinary business transactions with but few exceptions. Here the department was permitted, under a verbal agreement, to go onto plaintiffs' lands and remove gravel at a specified price per ton; it entered upon the lands, removed *595 the amount of gravel hereinbefore indicated, and refused payment on the assertion or pretense that plaintiffs did not have title to the lands. It appears that plaintiffs had the placer location on these lands and were in possession thereof and had title as against everyone except the United States. Ordinary business honesty insists that a state, or any of its departments or agents, cannot be allowed to receive the benefits from an agreement and then repudiate the transaction without restoration of the property taken, or its agreed price, or the reasonable value thereof.
If the arguments presented by defendant herein were to prevail, then no one in the position of plaintiffs herein, as owners of material, would feel secure in making any contract for the purchase of their material such as is provided for by the statute above mentioned and would be relegated to the position of insisting that condemnation proceedings be instituted instead. Here, defendant highway department elected to acquire the gravel involved by purchase and in doing so, it cannot hide behind the cloak of state immunity to avoid payment therefor. Defendant does not deny that it needed this material; had anticipated its use; and had allocated and "ear marked" funds with which it was to be acquired. The enforceability of agreements such as here made to supply materials for public work are controlled by the same factors that control the validity of contracts between private persons for other purposes.
The contention is made that there was no compliance with the administrative code in this transaction. The specific powers vested in the state highway engineer by the 1947 statute is in conflict with the powers granted to the comptroller under the administrative code. A study of the two enactments clearly discloses that it was not the intention of the legislature to include the state highway department within the provisions of the administrative code as to such matters as are herein involved.
The verbal agreement first acted upon merged into a written agreement designated as "option to buy material" and it was admittedly executed by the duly authorized agents of the department. It was on a form furnished by the department and is, in fact, exactly what its title indicates, namely an "option," because the department assumes no affirmative obligation thereunder except to pay if it exercised its option by taking any of the material. As to any of the affirmative allegations of defense set up in defendant's answer, they are of no avail here because defendant waived its opportunity to present any evidence in support thereof. One of these asserted defenses was the illegality of the contract because it was not signed by the comptroller. Unless such affirmative allegations are proven by competent evidence, it cannot be urged in this review.
As to the points specified that the court erred in granting judgment in favor of plaintiffs for interest and costs, we are compelled to say that the customary rule is to be followed, which is, that the state may bind itself for the payment of interest by legislative action, or become bound by virtue of an obligation imposed by its contract; and further, it is the general rule that interest and costs are taxed against the losing party. Where money is concededly held, and available, by defendant highway department for the payment of this material, its failure to pay, after being obligated to do so, subjects defendant highway department to the same rules of business integrity as any other commercial transaction.
We are in complete agreement with the summarization made in this case by the learned trial judge, a part of which is as follows:
"We are in complete agreement with the pronouncements of the Supreme Court in the Mitchell case, and with its decisions on the facts. Were this almost any other kind of action than it is, we would find no difficulty in holding that the Mitchell case is finally determinative of the issue, adversely to plaintiffs. The Highway Department is but an agency of the state government, notwithstanding its corporate entity. Its duty and purpose *596 is to construct and maintain highways. A suit for damages allegedly sustained because of faulty design or construction of a highway should not be, and is not maintainable against it without state consent."Clearly, this is not such an action. The Department is authorized by law to enter into contracts for highway construction, and for the procurement of materials to be used for such purpose. However, such construction contracts may not be entered into until (1) the project is set up, and, (2) an allotment of appropriated funds approved. Upon such approval, said funds are set aside (`ear-marked') for that particular project, and therefrom the costs of construction thereof, according to plan and design, are paid. No further appropriation by legislative action is called for. In fact, the legislature has nothing to do with allocation of state funds to particular highway projects. The money has been appropriated; it has been allocated; it has been set aside, `ear-marked' and placed in the `kitty' for each project before contracts are let. So far as we are advised, and we believe it to be true, such was done in the instance from which grew this action. It is a misconception of fact and of law, and is idle to say, that should judgment result here favorable to plaintiffs, it can be paid only upon legislative appropriation. The legislature has already done its part. The money was available when, as plaintiffs allege, defendant contracted with them for certain road building material, and it is presumably now available that said materials may be paid for. Judgment herein favorable to plaintiffs would add no liability to defendant, nor to the state, not already fixed by contract, and covered by funds already allocated. This is not an action for damages, as was the Mitchell case, by which it is sought to saddle upon the state additional financial burdens. The sole question for determination in this suit is whether or not plaintiffs are entitled to be paid under the alleged contract. If they show that they are, the money is there to pay them. If they fail on the merits, then they are to go unpaid, not because of no liability under the action but because of no liability under the contract."
The judgment is affirmed.

Do you have any view on that theory of Rehan Yar Khan or this is a more broad global sort of trend we are seeing in company after company, there have been quite a few, we are talking only about the news today but this has been ongoing story, is not it?
Yes, we have been seeing this news for sometime but I cannot speculate or I have not any insight into what the reasons are for individual companies. But let us look at what has happened over the last couple of years; we have seen an unprecedented scale of digitalisation because people were mostly forced to be at home and that meant a lot of things that happened offline were happening online.
Two, we saw a lot of government money going into the hands of people in many western countries which meant that spending increased significantly so that was the second trend.
Today we are seeing reopening across the world so some of the digital spends have now moved back offline, those cheques are not coming anymore and three we are seeing a war in Ukraine and a significant increase in inflation levels in the developed markets.
Heard that little jibe at us, bad news sells but news is news. The economy is booming we talk about it as well. 25000 job cuts announced in the first four days of January are you saying we should play that down, I mean it is happening?
No, absolutely not. But speaking specifically for India, if we were to look at what our data tells we should also focus on that, for example, in the previous month December we saw that the number of open roles in India specifically on Indeed was 80% higher than what it was in pre pandemic levels, obviously there is job creation and job hiring that is happening.
It is very interesting that you say that because I had a conversation earlier this week with TeamLease actually on this show and we talked specifically about open positions in IT in India in December 2022 and the story was exactly opposite to what you are saying? They said they saw a massive drop in open positions in December 2022 compared to a year ago, they were not comparing to pre pandemic so what is the India story?
I am comparing it to pre pandemic because a lot of the data that you see coming out post pandemic is skewed. One, in the first half of the pandemic we saw a significant drop and then towards 2021 and early 2022 we saw a significant increase.
So pre-pandemic definitely there has been an 80% increase, yes, there has been a drop in comparison to 2021 but that is only to be expected, we saw a significant hiring rush in 2021, in fact, we did a survey and we spoke to over 1200 enterprise companies in India and about 46% of them came back and said that they intend to hire or increase the workforce by 20% on the course to 2023. But concerns remain, I am not saying that concerns do not remain.
What is happening in Amazon, Sales Force, are you expecting more of the same because we saw a big round of cuts in the end of 2022 and perhaps the spill over of that in the beginning of 2023, are you expecting that to deepen or ease off say after the first six months of this year?
I am hoping it will ease off but we are living in uncertain times, we do not know what turn the ball will take. We do not know what turn inflation etc and the economy will take. If there is significant easing of the war we can expect a big turnaround, if it continues there will be continued pressure on fuel prices etc which will continue to push recessionary effects. So it depends but I do not see this as a long term effect. I do see that companies in India and across the world will continue to push towards digitisation, increase tech adoption. This sector will bounce back and all of us should hope that it is sooner rather than later.

Moreover, the Londoners have a stable of exciting young players and they have spoken glowingly to club chiefs about the impact the Swede had on their development.
- Anything less than victory against Hertha Berlin on Saturday will likely spell the end for Lucien Favre at Borussia Dortmund, says Sky Sport Germany.
Arsenal legend and Nice coach Vieira has also been mentioned as an option and Dixon believes the former club captain would be the ideal appointment for the Gunners. "It's an honour the club thinks I'm ready to take this big responsibility but there is no indication of how long or short, I'm just taking it game by game".
"It's a very complicated job, I realise that", he said. "The players have definitely disappointed Emery".
He said: "For me, happy footballers play the best football. often the players we have enjoy playing offensive football which makes them happy".
Fewer shoppers in stores as online eats into Black Friday
The NPD Group looked into the shopping season for 2018 and found that Black Friday ranked as the 14th best day for restaurants. It was in 1960s Philadelphia, that the term started getting associated with shopping the day after Thanksgiving Day.
Whoever occupies the vacancy should not expect that the club's ambitions for the season will be more contiguous due to their hard start, as Kroenke - the son of Stan club owner - still feels they can achieve their goals.
We've seen it during his time as the assistant manager, but Ljungberg is a very lively character on the sidelines and loves to get into it with the officials.
The Englishman charged against the management, but also against the players: "You see awful things in defenders and midfielders".
Fifty-six days have passed since Arsenal's last win in the Premier League (against Eddie Howe's Bournemouth at the start of October) and, in terms of performance, surely anything will be an improvement on Thursday's abject defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, Emery's final game in charge.
"If you play good football and get results then there´s nothing better than that to raise spirits".

Meet the Artist Behind Thompson Street Studio
In SoHo, Kiva Motnyk patches together a new approach to quilting.
Quilt-making has intrigued textile artist Kiva Motnyk since she was a young girl, when she learned how to sew and make patchworks at the arts-focused Waldorf school in San Francisco. “The history of the medium has always fascinated me,” Motnyk says, “and the craft comes naturally to me. When I started my design studio, I knew that quilt-making was a technique I wanted to explore further.”
The daughter of a surrealist painter and a modern dancer, Motnyk later moved with her family to SoHo and received a BFA in fashion and textiles from RISD, although her “college program didn’t focus on patchwork as an art form. So when I graduated, I spent some time in Mississippi working with women who have been quilting for generations.”
After a stint as a textile designer and creative director for Isaac Mizrahi, Motnyk launched Thompson Street Studio, a brand that offers an array of home accessories including pillows, curtains, framed artwork, divider screens, and custom quilts using naturally dyed antique and recycled fabrics. “I like to experiment with repurposed fabrics and traditional patchwork motifs,” says the artist, who often incorporates indigo-dyed and Japanese boro (mended and repaired) textiles into her fabric collages. “When you break the rules a little, then you get something new and interesting.”
Although Motnyk often refers to mood boards of hand-sewn swatches (she calls them “fabric sketches”) when she starts a new project, the design process actually begins with fabric dyeing. “I love natural dyeing and have been doing it since I was a kid,” says Motnyk, who creates dyes with marigolds, goldenrod, and sumac foraged near her Catskills home. She avoids attempting to achieve a “solid perfect color” and simply selects natural materials such as linen and silk that “take the dye the best.” Irregularity in fabrics, she says, “creates dimension in a piece and keeps it from looking manufactured.”
Motnyk’s collage patterns emerge organically as she stitches together her fabric swatches, in addition to over-dyed remnants, with the help of her studio assistants, Terese McCoy and Jasmine Bryant. “The kind of layers you get from passing a piece back and forth are amazing, reflecting each person’s take,” Motnyk says. “When you look closely at patchwork, there is so much intricacy, but when you step back, there’s a quiet stillness.”

The Herald reports:
Auckland Mayor Len Brown spent $3.73 million running the mayoral office in the past financial year, 10 per cent less than the allowable budget of $4.152 million.
Mr Brown’s office today pro-actively released details about his office spend following an Official Information Act request from councillor Cameron Brewer.
The figures show the mayoral office spent $2.32 million on salaries for 21 fulltime and part-time staff – an average of about $110,000 per mayoral staffer.
21 staff is too many for a mayoral office.
By comparison the Prime Minister’s Office has 25 staff. And the NZ Government is around 40 times bigger than the Auckland Council.
A Mayor does need some staff – a comms person, a policy person, an EA etc. But 21 is way too many.


Differing online ad strategies could explain audience variation.
As daily deals sites continue to grow, market leaders Groupon and LivingSocial are increasingly competing for scale, traffic, and subscriber numbers. In terms of demographics, however, the properties actually appeal to substantially different audiences, it appears.
According to data from online measurement company comScore, most of Groupon's traffic in April came from users aged between 18 and 44. The majority of LivingSocial's audience, meanwhile, was aged between 25 and 55, with the 34 to 44 age range proving its strongest demographic. Compared to Groupon, LivingSocial attracted more than twice as many users over the age 45, whereas Groupon performed better with users under the age of 34.
So, what might explain the difference in audience for two firms with very similar business models and approaches to market? Factors such as the kind of deals offered and contrasting strategies around marketing messaging will contribute, of course, but comScore suggests the type of online media the companies purchase in order to acquire new subscribers could also have an effect.
For example, LivingSocial concentrated almost three quarters of its online display ad purchases to just five providers in April, tapping properties owned and operated by Google, Facebook, AOL, Microsoft, and Yahoo. Groupon's display media choices appear far more diversified, meanwhile, with the same five providers accounting for just 31 percent of its spend over the same period, and the lion's share reserved for media on other publisher sites.
In terms of traffic, the Groupon site attracted 10.7 million unique users during April, while LivingSocial trailed with an audience of around 8.8 million.

SHey, Barry Obama had his third press conference in three days. This one was about introducing his Economic Recovery Advisement Board, headed by Paul Volcker, founding member of the Trilateral Commission and former Fed Chair under Carter and Reagan. He's very tall which is reassuring in these dark times. Volcker is also not a Clintonite! He is a Carterite. Reassuring, right? "Help is on the way," Obama said during his presser. That was John Kerry's campaign slogan so we're doomed. Obama also said he'd go shopping this Friday, but neglected to urge Americans to continue spending beyond their means on useless consumer goods, which proves he's a terrible leader.

text: In the Japanese construction industry, the number of young workers is decreasing and skilled workers are aging. For that reason, efforts to improve productivity by using information technology (IT) and robot technology are under way. One of them is UAV. In civil engineering work, UAV is utilized in volume management of the foundation ground. In building work, quality is managed by using images taken from the sky. However, there are no cases of using UAV in buildings under construction. Also, there are no examples where UAV are used in installations that need to work in contact with the surrounding environment. Facility construction is mostly work in the building, especially in the vicinity of the ceiling using temporary scaffolding. In order to utilize UAV in facility construction, it is necessary to perform self-positioning without GPS, to recognize the surrounding environment, and to make direct contact with the surrounding environment. One of the tasks near the ceiling in facility construction is air volume measurement. Conventionally, by using a temporary scaffold, wind speed distribution immediately below the diffuser is measured by a handy type anemometer, and air volume is calculated by multiplying the average value by the opening area. In recent years, a device for measuring the air amount passing through by closely attaching a hood for collecting wind to the ceiling surface has been used. However, it is necessary to measure by using a temporary scaffold for the diffuser of a room with a high ceiling like a factory. Also, if production equipment is installed right under the diffuser, even the installation of the scaffold may be difficult. Due to these facts, the use of UAV has merit. In this research, in order to develop a UAV for use in indoor facility construction, we made a prototype of a UAV equipped with an "air volume measurement unit" and evaluated it. In the unit, five wind speed sensors are arranged on the downstream side of the wind collecting hood. The UAV is a multi-copter with 8 propellers, and the frame is a lattice structure in order to mount the airflow measurement unit in the center. The position and attitude of the UAV were obtained by extracting two red circular marks mounted on the UAV from the image acquired by a single lens camera, and recognizing the elliptical shape, size and position of the marks. The experimental field was a temporary ceiling in which a diffuser was arranged. In the flight experiment, the route was designated from the floor surface to the diffuser, and the UAV made to fly this route. The flight path was measured with a motion capture system using an infrared camera, and the approach performance to the diffuser was evaluated. In order to check the contact state with the diffuser, the air volume was measured, and the degree of adhesion of the wind collecting hood was confirmed. This paper discusses the detailed experimental results, and problems involved.


US STOCKS SNAPSHOT - Dow falls more than 1 pct
NEW YORK Dec 27 (Reuters) - The Dow fell 1 percent as stocks added to losses on Thursday. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 earlier declined more than 1 percent, with worries about the U.S. "fiscal cliff" after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warned the United States appeared poised to head over it.
The Dow Jones industrial average was down 143.83 points, or 1.10 percent, at 12,970.76. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 17.60 points, or 1.24 percent, at 1,402.23. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 38.09 points, or 1.27 percent, at 2,952.07.
