From both traditional and social media, we are told how to think and act, how we should look, and most importantly, how we should feel.
This infliction of other people’s opinions can alter our own self-worth … and when it does, we can get so caught up in our own heads that we forget about the thoughts and opinions of others.

Inside my heart is breaking, my makeup may be flaking, but my smile still stays on… (Queen)
This isn’t exactly news, but being an adult sucks. I am mourning exactly one year of living and working as a REAL adult. One year later, all I’ve got to show for it are more bills, mo’ problems, increasingly superficial needs and wants, decreasing quality of life, loss of optimism, and a receding hairline (which is worse on women btw). I am mourning the death of youth and idealism, as it quickly leaches out of me, leaving me with terrible skin, new frown lines(!!!), thinning hair, and only a skeleton of what was once a cheery disposition.
I look around with envy at friends my age who still hold onto their youth and optimism and naivety, whose eyes still twinkle with awe at the world and glisten with hurt surprise when it disappoints them. My eyes have hardened, the twinkle long gone, and a permanent stoicism have over come them. No amount of disappointment surprises me – it’s always a business-as-usual-mantra. Somewhere over the course of the last 367 days, I was robbed of my youth, and I can’t do anything to get it back. As a kid, you could run from your problems and have mommy and daddy deflect them for you. Or you could just sleep it off, and the next day your problems would resolve themselves. But as an adult, those tactics don’t work, and you just have to keep moving along. After all, the show must go on.
French Onion Soup
For a special holiday dinner, I conjured up a French meal for my immediate family – steaks au poivre and onion soup, the latter which I will be sharing with you today. French onion soup is super easy to make, and while Thomas Keller encourages caramelizing the onions for hours to achieve the desired effect, I honestly believe you can accomplish similar (enough) results in a fraction of the time. This is classic French bistro food, and doesn’t require a special occasion to make. Often times, I eat a bowl as a meal, and find that the Gruyere toasts and rich soup are satisfying enough after a long day. Enjoy.
Source: Adapted from Ina Garten
2 1/2 lbs yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 stick (12 tbs) butter
1 tbs olive oil
1 bay leaf
2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tsp all purpose flour
1/2 c cognac [I used Remy Martin]
1 1/2 c dry white wine or vermouth [I used pinot grigio]
8 cups beef stock [Better-than-Beef-Bouillon and Water]
1-2 tbs fish sauce [I won’t apologize for being Vietnamese]
Salt and pepper, to taste
French bread, cut in 1’4″ slices
Gruyere cheese, thinly sliced
In a large stockpot on medium-high heat, heat the butter and olive oil together, until butter is all melted, then turn the down the heat to medium. Add the sliced onions, bay leaf, and thyme, and saute until the onions become fragrant and a deep brown color. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. I’ve read that a slow, low heat is most effective in allowing the onions to achieve a natural caramelization, but I haven’t tested it out to see a difference. If you have the time, perhaps try it that way. If not, medium heat for about 40-60 minutes is more than enough to cook down the onions into a jammy consistency.
To the pot, sprinkle in a teaspoon of flour and stir to evenly distribute. Allow the flour to cook for 5 minutes before deglazing the pot with cognac and wine, and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes uncovered, scraping the pan’s bottom with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Once the liquid has reduced (and most of the alcohol evaporated), add the beef stock and bring the soup to a boil. Allow to simmer an additional 30 minutes for the flavors to develop. Fish out the bay leaf and thyme stem. Season with salt, pepper, a tiny dash of fish sauce, and allow to simmer another 5 minutes. If the soup becomes too thick, add a half cup or so of water, and bring back to a boil.
To serve, ladle soup into ramekins, then top with french bread and gruyere cheese. Bake in hot oven until the Gruyere cheese is melted and brown. Alternatively, the Gruyere toasts can be made separately then placed in a bowl of onion soup. Enjoy.
My soup came out on the thicker side this time, but was soo delicious. Being rather impatient to eat, I unceremoniously ripped up handfuls of French bread and sprinkled a handful of gruyere on the pieces before putting them in the toaster. Please excuse my impatience… At least it still tasted wonderful!
I was spoiled over the holidays by my family. While I was home, I was easily able to forget that adulthood even existed. I slept in my old childhood bedroom, had home cooked meals prepared daily, and was even driven around by my parents (you see, 3 years in NYC and I essentially don’t drive anymore). And yet all along, adulthood was lurking just beyond the new year, ready to reclaim me. Yes, you may have reclaimed me, but you will never defeat me – this smile still stays on.
PS. I apologize for the saturated pictures – I still haven’t gotten the hang of my new camera yet!

A lawyer for the ex-husband of the woman who had an affair with Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens says prosecutors have convened a grand jury in their investigation into whether Greitens blackmailed the woman.
Al Watkins, the lawyer, announced Monday that his client was served with a subpoena to provide testimony to the grand jury.
The news may represent an escalation of the probe, which was launched last month.
“The issuance of a Grand Jury subpoena conclusively indicates that the Circuit Attorney’s Office has elevated its undertakings to include Grand Jury proceedings, for which subpoena power and other discovery tools are available,” Watkins said in a statement provided to TPM. “The power of subpoena is an invaluable tool to garner evidence and compel testimony which far transcends that which is accorded investigative personnel not otherwise armed with a Grand Jury.”
Greitens, a Republican, has publicly apologized for cheating on his wife and vowed to remain in office through a scandal that has prompted calls for his resignation from members of his own party. He has vehemently denied allegations that he slapped and once took a compromising photograph of the woman that he threatened to release it if she went public about their relationship.
The blackmail claim was made by the woman in a conversation with her then-husband, which he recorded without her knowledge and provided to a local news station.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner launched the investigation into what she called the “very troubling” allegations against Greitens shortly after they were first surfaced in mid-January.
Watkins has told TPM he began “receiving ongoing consistent contact” about Greitens from an FBI special agent in October 2016.
According to CNN, the FBI recently opened an inquiry into the governor. It’s unclear if the outreach to Watkins is related to the inquiry that two federal officials confirmed to CNN.
The bureau’s St. Louis office has declined to comment on the existence of any investigation related to Greitens.


Louisville Police Officer Charged with Robbery
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A Louisville police officer was arrested and charged with first-degree robbery Tuesday after he allegedly stole $100 from an undercover Kentucky State Police officer.
Paul Anthony Manning, 32, of Louisville, was arrested about 6:30 p.m. EST, an arrest report said.
The department set up the sting after receiving seven complaints since last November about Manning allegedly stealing property from prisoners, Louisville police Chief Greg Smith said.
Manning has been a Louisville police officer for about 10 years, Smith said.
He responded to a call of "a person down" at a Louisville tavern just before noon, the report said.
Manning arrested a man, who was actually a state police officer, and charged him with public intoxication, the report said.
The state officer was carrying $400 in marked bills, and Manning took $100 and kept it, the report said.
He later confessed and was arrested at 3rd District headquarters, police said.
Manning has been suspended with pay, pending an internal affairs investigation, Smith said.

Brussels (Brussels Morning) The German Federal Prosecutor’s office pressed charges of espionage against a German citizen on Thursday for providing detailed floor plans of the German parliament building – the Reichstag – to an employee of the Russian embassy in Berlin, Deutsche Welle reported.
The suspect, identified in the Office’s public release as Jens F., was an employee of a company contracted to carry out maintenance on electrical equipment for the Bundestag, the lower house of the German parliament.
According to the charges, he stands accused of using his data access privileges to collect details of the building’s plans, which he then forwarded to a Russian embassy employee believed to be working for the Russian military intelligence agency GRU.
The espionage charges come at a sensitive moment in German-Russian relations, as Germany attempts to preserve the joint Nord Stream 2 pipeline project despite growing calls for its cancellation within the EU. The pipeline project has become a target for those seeking to take concrete actions in retaliation for Russia’s disregard for human rights and the rule of law, as evidenced by Moscow’s jailing of opposition figure Alexei Navalny and the violent crackdown on mass protests that followed his arrest.
Germany, which insists the project should be viewed solely in economic terms and kept separate from politics, has been under fire from Poland and the Baltic states, which insist that the pipeline project, now nearing completion, should be stopped as part of sanctions against Russia.
The incident is not the first in which Russian intelligence agencies have attempted to breach the Bundestag’s security. According to German authorities, the Bundestag’s computer systems had been the target of a Russian hacking attack back in 2015.

Cape Town, 23 January 2018 – “This year’s theme is VUKA UKHANYE: Arise and Shine!, a call to action to shake off limiting beliefs and be all we can be,” says Cape Town Carnival CEO Jay Douwes. Today, at a press event to discuss the role and popularity of the Carnival, executive mayor of the City of Cape Town, Dan Plato, shared his enthusiasm for the annual must-attend event taking place on 16 March 2019.
Award-winning artist and arts curator Khanyisile Mbongwa, who is assisting the Carnival team, says, “Cape Town Carnival occupies a unique space and role, communicating through the language of the carnivalesque, which is a combination of creativity, exaggeration, colour and spectacle at the intersection of social commentary and celebration.”
Carnival creative director Brad Baard says that the city’s vital social and cultural character is kept alive by creating and supporting social interaction between all Capetonians and through recognition of each other. “Cape Town’s spirit shouldn’t be underestimated – it’s part of the fabric of our society, “ he says.
Mbongwa highlights how Carnival can be a form of collective healing. “The freedom to play, the time to play, and the opportunity to play: these have been politically and socially denied to many South Africans for a long time, making play a political act. Carnival asserts the right to play!”
“The Cape Town Carnival offers a significant, accessible opportunity for South Africans of all ages to engage easily with the arts and to cultivate a sense of a shared identity,” says Dunisan Chabala, Deputy Director of the National Department of Arts & Culture. “It reflects diversity while encouraging togetherness and unity at the same time.”
Rachel Jafta, chairperson of the Cape Town Carnival Trust, says, “The Cape Town Carnival was envisaged as a way of bringing people together and building social cohesion, while offering an extraordinary visual and creative feast and a skills development hub for a wide array of skills.”
Events like the Cape Town Carnival contributed to Cape Town winning the Global Event & Festival City Award at the 2018 World Travel Awards, notes Dan Plato. Successful major events affirm the attractiveness of the city for investors and audiences alike.
Interventions in the fabric and life of the city affect how people see the city and each other. Carnival brings people together from all over the metropole, creates a platform for participation and artistic expression, reclaims public space for the parade event, and encourages recognition of the many communities, motivated groups and talented individuals who strut their stuff in the annual spectacular.
The sponsors of the 2019 Cape Town Carnival are Multichoice, the City of Cape Town, the National Department of Arts and Culture, the National Lotteries Commission, Kfm, the Western Cape Government, Tsogo Sun, Media24, the Western Cape Tourism, Trade & Investment Agency (Wesgro), Business and Arts South Africa (BASA), Peninsula Beverages, and Gearhouse.

The iPhone 4S may look like the iPhone 4 from the outside, but as Phil Schiller explained during Apple’s iPhone event two weeks ago, the inside has been completely reworked, refined, and improved.
iSuppli recently conducted a teardown analysis of the iPhone 4S, investigated all of the new components therein, and found that the bill of materials (BOM) for the device checks in at around $188 for the 16GB version, $207 for the 32GB version and $245 for the 64GB model.
Some notable observations from the folks at iSuppli include the fact that the iPhone 4S doesn’t include the same noice cancellation ship from Audience that was found on the iPhone 4. iSuppli speculates that this functionality has since been moved to the A5 chip itself which costs Apple about $15 a pop and is supplied by Samsung.
iSuppli also found flash memory from Hynix Semiconductor which was a first. While Apple has sourced memory from Hynix before, they note that this is the first time they’ve seen it appear in the iPhone.
It’s also worth mentioning that iSuppli found a custom part from Avagao that “helps give the iPhone 4S its unique capability to be used in multiple wireless systems globally, while still keeping costs down”
What makes the converged Avago part unique is its capability to support both 2G and 3G cellular technologies across multiple bands thus reducing the number of components and PC board footprint required. While Avago is by no means the only company supplying these types of devices, it is the first to be implemented by Apple.
iSuppli wasn’t able to determine the manufacturer of the iPhone 4S camera but Chipworks used an X-ray to determine that it’s sourced from Sony, though Apple may also be getting its camera modules from Omnivision as well. iSuppli estimates the camera module in each iPhone 4S costs Apple about $17.60.
While the BOM for the iPhone suggests that Apple makes a killing for each iPhone sold – and no doubt that they do – remember that the BOM doesn’t include other costs such as patent licensing, assembling and manufacturing costs, software development, distribution, marketing, and above all, the research and development costs that go into creating a device as sophisticated and complex as the iPhone.

Reconsideration denied July 31, 2014 -- Cert. applied for.
[Copyrighted Material Omitted]
Burglary, etc. Union Superior Court. Before Judge George.
Monica P. Baron, for appellant.
W. Jeffrey Langley, District Attorney, for appellee.
DOYLE, Presiding Judge. Andrews, P. J., Dillard and McMillian, JJ., concur. Phipps, C. J., Ellington, P. J., and Miller, J., concur in part and dissent in part.
Doyle, Presiding Judge.
Following a jury trial, Leonard Freeman was convicted of burglary and attempted malice murder. He now appeals from the denial of his motion for new trial, assigning as error (1) the admission of statements he made during a police interview, (2) the admission of hearsay testimony of an emergency medical worker who attended to the victim, (3) the denial of his motion for a mistrial due to lack of access to real-time court reporting, (4) the closure of the courtroom during sentencing, (5) failure to sentence him as a first offender, and (6) ineffective assistance of counsel. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
Construed in favor of the verdict, the evidence shows that a police officer responded to a nighttime 911 call about a burglary in progress and encountered Freeman, whom the officer knew, walking near the victim's address. Freeman, who lived across the street, denied any knowledge of the burglary, so the officer investigated the house for damage and, upon shining his flashlight in a bedroom window, saw Jan Nelson, Freeman's mother-in-law, on the floor covered in blood. The officer radioed for emergency medical services [328 Ga.App. 757] (" EMS" ), and a responding medical technician, Russell Fortenberry, spoke to Nelson about her injuries. Nelson told Fortenberry that she had awoken to go to the bathroom and found someone in her house who tried to smother her by putting a bag over her head, and she had somehow hit her head.
An investigator arrived at the scene and learned of a small hammer and axe handle found near a pool of blood in a bedroom of Nelson's house. The investigator visited Freeman at his home, and Freeman told the investigator he had been asleep in his house at 3:00 a.m. when his phone rang, and upon seeing Nelson's name on his caller identification, he went to go check on her. When later visited by an investigator at Nelson's hospital room, Freeman later claimed that the axe handle belonged to him, but denied ownership of the hammer. During another subsequent conversation with police outside his home, Freeman told an investigator that earlier he had misled police about being asleep, and he had actually been outside his house drinking liquor.
Freeman later gave a recorded interview at the police department, and following that, he agreed to undergo a polygraph test by a Georgia Bureau of Investigation interviewer. Before beginning the polygraph examination, Freeman met for a pre-interview session, during which he was administered a Miranda  waiver, which he signed. During the pre-interview, Freeman told the GBI interviewer that he put a bag over Nelson's head and hit her twice with a hammer. He explained that he had only " roughed [her] up" for the purpose of scaring her so that she would not continue to live alone. As a result of those statements, the polygraph test was never administered, and the GBI agent immediately advised the police investigator of Freeman's statements. Freeman, the GBI agent, and the police investigator went to a separate interview room where Freeman again told the investigator that he had placed a bag over Nelson's head and hit her in the head with a hammer. After that interview, Freeman was formally arrested.
Freeman was charged with aggravated assault, burglary, and attempted malice murder. Following a trial, the jury found him guilty on all three counts, and the trial court sentenced him on the burglary and attempted murder charges, merging the aggravated assault charge into the attempted murder charge. Freeman moved for a new trial, which motion was denied, giving rise to this appeal.
1. Freeman contends that the trial court erred by admitting statements he made to the police investigator immediately after his [328 Ga.App. 758] confession during the GBI pre-interview for the polygraph test. Specifically, Freeman argues that he should have been given an additional Miranda warning for purposes of the statement he made to the police investigator. We disagree.
The trial court addressed Freeman's challenge to the statement during a Jackson v. Denno  hearing. " Unless clearly erroneous, a trial court's findings as to factual determinations and credibility relating to the admissibility of a defendant's statement at a Jackson v. Denno hearing will be upheld on appeal."  The record from the hearing shows that Freeman was properly advised of his Miranda rights before the pre-interview, there was no significant time gap between the two interviews, and the second interview (during which the initial interviewer was present) was of a similarly non-coercive nature, even if conducted in a different interview room. Thus, " the lack of a Miranda warning after the break is of no consequence [because Freeman] was informed of and waived his Miranda rights before the first interview and the second interview was part of a continuous series of interviews."  " Thus, it cannot be said that the trial court erred in ruling that the [subsequent] statement was admissible."
2. Freeman next argues that the trial court erred by admitting hearsay testimony from the EMS worker who treated Nelson at the scene and told the jury what she said about the attack. The record shows that the responding officer radioed for EMS immediately upon discovering " Nelson on the floor at the end of her bed[,] ... covered in blood." The challenged testimony came from the EMS worker who was dispatched to the scene. He described Nelson as having a laceration to the top of her head with some " obvious bleeding" that was under control by the time he arrived. As he evaluated Nelson, the EMS worker " spoke with the patient just to do my initial assessment ... like I would do with every patient to find out ... how she got her injury and then ... what happened during and so forth there with the injury[. S]he was alert at the time and was able to answer all of our questions." Over Freeman's objection, the EMS worker stated that when, as part of his treatment routine, he asked Nelson how she was injured, she responded that " she had gotten up to go to the [328 Ga.App. 759] bathroom and found someone in the house and they [sat on her,] had tried to smother her, and put a bag over her head, and she was unaware of exactly how she got the laceration to the top of the head."
Freeman objected to the testimony on the grounds that it was hearsay and a violation of his constitutional right to confrontation under Crawfor ...

The Stella Artois maker told the Budweiser giant it should fully explore the InBev offer before attempting any "spoiler" deal. Anheuser-Busch has held exploratory talks with Modelo over a deal as part of its strategy to deter InBev.
InBev chief executive Carlos Brito suggested that doing a deal with Modelo could affect the value of its $65-ashare offer. InBev last week launched an unsolicited bid for Anheuser-Busch. A deal would create the world's largest brewer. Busch said its board would evaluate the proposal carefully. Brito said he was committed to a "friendly combination", and he had read press reports that Anheuser may have approached Modelo.
He added: "We would expect that prior to proceeding with any alternative transaction, especially if your shareholders will not be given the opportunity to vote on it, you would first fully explore our offer and the potential adverse consequences any such transaction could have on the ability of your shareholders to receive our premium offer."Reuse content

A strange thing about the two rivers bordering Philadelphia: Nobody is completely responsible for cleaning them. The Schuylkill and the Delaware could turn to into sludge and for many years they nearly did.
In the first half of the 20th century, even fish couldn’t swim through a 20-mile stretch of the Delaware River encompassing the Philadelphia area. It was an oxygen dead zone. People weren’t even supposed to breathe the air around it. Ships could only pass through at their own risk.
“It was so polluted it would make ships hulls rust just as fast as they could paint them,” said Shaun Bailey, the marketing and communications coordinator for the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary.
Based on his organization’s latest reports and consensus from other groups, Bailey said the health of the Delaware Bay and Estuary, which includes the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers, stands at about a B+ or B- right now. Considering their health used to be an F, that’s not bad. But how much more attention do the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers need to really get clean? And what is the city of Philadelphia doing about it?
Again, no one has a clear responsibility for the Delaware Bay and Estuary, which spans Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and a little bit of New York. That means the rivers are part of several different jurisdictions. To increase cooperation between local governments and nonprofits, the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary has started the Schuylkill Action Network. It’s a membership driven group but is coordinated by the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary Network. Members include the Philadelphia Water Department.
Maybe you’ve seen one of their ships while jogging along the Schuylkill River Trail or hanging out at Penn’s Landing. They’ve been sending them out to pick up debris and trash since 2007.
That’s the smaller skimmer. It doesn’t have a name. They have two such watercraft; the larger is called the R.E. Ro, which operates in the tidal reaches of the Schuylkill and the Delaware, for a total of 32 river miles. The smaller boat operates in the non-tidal part of the Schuylkill, north of the Fairmount Dam by the Art Museum. They basically function like garbage trucks but in the water, with employees picking up trash and debris.
And they find a lot of it. The R.E. Roy has picked up anywhere from 11 tons to 44 tons of marine debris each year since 2007. The smaller one has collected anywhere from .5 tons to 4 tons per year. Combined, they’re on the water usually at least five days a week for about eight months out of the year.
Plastic materials account for about 56 percent of the debris they pick up. And of that plastic material, bottles make up 77 percent of the river litter, followed by plastic bags at 16 percent. Since last year, the Water Department has worked with the Streets Department to recycle some of the plastics. Besides plastics, other debris commonly found in the river are clothes, styrofoam, tires and construction material.
The trash generally doesn’t get there from people illegally dumping in the rivers or on the shorelines. It’s the garden-variety litter seen on Philly’s streets every day. That litter is carried into storm drains and into the Delaware and Schuylkill.
“A lot of people would never guess that cigarette butt or that pop bottle makes its way down into the river,” said Tammy Becker, programs manager for the river-cleaning national nonprofit Living Lands and Water. “But it certainly does.”
Despite the Water Department’s efforts, the rivers could always use more attention, especially the Delaware. Living Lands and Waters led a volunteer group of cleaners in the Delaware this August, partnering with the Water Department, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful and the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary among others. They brought five 30-foot-long boats and handpicked nearly 33,000 pounds of garbage from the river and shorelines.
The staff of Living Lands and Waters has cleaned rivers throughout the country. The Delaware, particularly by Philly and Camden, was rough.
“Honestly, it’s one of the worst places we’ve worked at,” Becker said. “It’s up there.”
That’s not good. But Becker reminds that the Delaware is still a work in progress. Not many other cities have boats continually patrolling waterways and picking up trash, like Philly does.
“The city of Philadelphia,” she said, “has taken some really progressive steps to get it under control.”

call it weird, call it xymox
In response to the always intruiging grapejuiceplus, I present a couple of tracks from my gothic yesteryear...
Clan of Xymox has been in the unfortunate position of always being compared to other bands since their inception. Whether it's the Cure or Joy Division, Clan of Xymox has never been able to shake off the similarities to their influences. Nevertheless, the group has produced an impressive body of work that consistently absorbed new sounds while remaining faithful to the '80s goth rock menu. Clan of Xymox was formed in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, in 1983 by Ronny Moorings (vocals, guitar) and Anka Wolbert (bass, vocals). A year later, Moorings and Wolbert moved to Amsterdam, Holland, releasing the LP Subsequent Pleasures as Xymox. (The album was limited to 500 copies.) Xymox then became the opening act for Dead Can Dance in England. The band's presence on Dead Can Dance's U.K. tour caught the interest of 4AD Records, and the label eventually signed them. A year later, Xymox lengthened their name to Clan of Xymox and recorded a self-titled album in 1985, followed by Medusa the next year. In 1987, the group shortened their appellation to Xymox once again, contributing another version of "Muscoviet Mosquito," originally on Subsequent Pleasures, to the 4AD compilation Lonely Is an Eyesore. After the release of the single "Blind Hearts," Xymox left 4AD and joined Polygram/Wing.
Anything that happened with them after this point is really disappointing, so why discuss it? It was disturbing enough looking for a photo and seeing their new incarnation with their Hot Topic outfits and hair colour. bleh! These tracks were taken from a compilation put out in the mid-90s in Holland of their 4AD demos and their first EP, Subsequent Pleasures. Metropolis later reissued it, and you can buy it here.

The 2016 Burrup Field School was another successful collaboration between Rio Tinto, Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation (MAC) and The University of Western Australia. Students enrolled in ARCY2005 visited Murujuga and assisted in the recording of rock art on the Burrup Peninsula.
After a cultural induction and on country welcome from the Murujuga Land and Sea Unit (MLSU) rangers, staff and students spoke with MAC Elders to determine the site for the field school rock art recording for 2016.
Based on management issues raised by MLSU rangers, a valley of prominent rock art located outside of the Murujuga National Park boundary was identified. This valley was within the boundary of the National Heritage Listed Area and due to its proximity to the main highway, became the focus of the field school.
Students worked with rock art researchers including Ken Mulvaney and Ben Gunn to record art, assisted through the cultural guidance of the MLSU ranger team.

The Kawasaki i tried before, never passed the stage of engine overhaul, the new piston / bore was ill aligned so it ended in the scrap.
But now i found this in my scrap pile here…
At least i know the engine is not blocked and still has compression… i needed some thing to wrap my brain around so its on my fun list…
The intended vehicle was a long tail boat… i still have the tail with propeller around somewhere and 2 of these baby’s…
Next is testing on spark and maybe running on a few drops dino before it gets charcoal…
We had a steel wheel mountain gras cutter with a 250cc Rotax 2 stroke just like that one. Good engine. Slow turning, a good chargad candidate. Keep us posted on how you plan it with injecting oil.
In the back of my mind is a snowmobile on chargas… I’ll be looking in on this one Koen!
Rotax engines are quite impressive. I once built a mini go cart/dune buggy for the kids that was waaay faster than you want kids to travel. Take off with 3/4 throttle and there was no way to keep that thing going straight.
@dbaillie, Don’t even go talking about snowmobiles, I just bought an Artic Cat 500 cc 2 stroke that I haven’t even got to ride yet. LOL
But where i can find the snow… ain’t here… but plenty of water just behind the factory, that leads to the sea…
You would be amazed at what crazy snowmobilers will do. They do water crossings with them. Not my world but two stroke rotax engines are common… I was thinking of finding one with oil injection built in to avoid the headache.
Detroit Diesels are two stroke and they have an oil sump. With that in mind I wonder if you could convert to splash lubrication.
I’ve always wondered if you could run a 2 stroke on tarry gas with no valves to stick?
Here’s a pic of a kart I built for my kids years ago. I used a free air 340 Rotax twin, along with the sled’s CVT and reduction box. It was a rocket!
You know the vehicle is fast when 3/4 of the weight is the engine
My first woodgas engine was a 2 stroke 50cc moped. I was a young woodgas enthusiast and run the litle “coffe grinder” motor with a restrictionless gasifier sized for a engine about 20 times biger. And it run on pelets long story short, the engine sucked so much tar and moisture it glued the piston to the bore while runing at full load. You can imagine what the inside looked like.
Anyway, l took it apart, cleaned eith alcohol and the engine still runs today, on charcoal.
If it was a 4 stroke l think there is 0 chance it got out unharmed after a pint of tar inside. I think 2 strokers have not yet ben exployed enough with woodgas!
I have thought about putting spark plugs in a Detroit Diesel. Easy to lower the compression with turbo pistons but I think they are also too high. Some day I’ll look that up. Of course the Roots blower would not like tar. Second thought, me stick to gas engines.
I am confused, all of the two strokes I am familiar with get internal lubrication from oil mixed with the gasoline. If you substitute charcoal how do you lubricate? Even if it has oil injection I wouldn’t think it would be compatible with charcoal gas.
We may not need to worry about the compression ratio since producer gas has been used at least up to 17:1 without difficulty. Converting to spark ignition has been done, but 15% diesel fuel is enough to keep things running on CO without spark.
Been done so many times already, don’t worry… just drip in a few drops of oil with a adjustable drip device
Video of me running a 2 stroke generator
apart from feeding the oil, there are two points in which a two-stroke crankcase-scavenged engine needs special attention:
There is less suction, so a gasifier and filter with little flow resistance is needed
Good filters are needed, as otherwise there are too many ash and soot particles entering the crankcase, acting as grinding paste together with the oil. A good cloth, felt or paper filter should be used as last filtering stage
If this is respected, there are no reasons not to use a 2-stroke engine. The power loss might be a little bit bigger than for a comparable 4-stroke engine.
Looking forward to see the Rotax running on chargas!
I would hook up my snowmobile to a gasifier. My worry is that it is liquid cooled and the clutch doesn’t engage until 5000 rpm’s. I believe it idles at around 1000 rpm’s. My Polaris is oil injected, so I don’t think there will be worries there. I worry about what size restriction to use?
You are right, but dont forget a 2 stroker already has a 1,5 more the power per displacement compared to a 4 stroker.
Bill, why do you say water cooling is a problem?
The 5000 rpm min. is a bit tricky. Specialy for chargas. But you culd hack the clutch variomat with different weights, to ingage sooner.
Whats your engine displacement?
My problem with two stroke on woodgas is not that it has any technical problem with working, but the idealism of biofuel.
In a situation where one can’t get gasoline for their engine,
Quite possible they also can’t get mixing oil. Or if it is the environmental concerns, also gasoline and oil are extracted from the same resource. Also the burning of the oil produces unwanted toxins in the exhaust.
For Emissions I’m on the same page. I dont see a problem with the greenieness of 2 strokes compared to 4 stroke though. In a 4 stroke the lubrication is an oil product that once dirty is disposed of so how is it different from 2 stroke oil? You burn it up instead of change it. I know stihl makes a biodegradable 2 stroke oil and marine ones tend to have the option as well. I’m toying with buying a sled so this topic is, well, topical.
Yes, but I mean the percentage of power loss of the original petrol-power might be higher for a 2-stroke-engine, mainly due to less sucking action and thus a lower level of generator gas fed in the engine.
Usually 2-stroke engines get the same power at lower revs than a 4-stroke in the case of “working-horses”, or higher power at higher revs “race-horses”.
I disagree in some respects. You need engine oil for a 4-stroke engine and for your transmission as well. OK, this could be more easily recycled and filtered, as it is not burned or lost.
And there are some special mixing oils for marine engines or chainsaws which are biodegradable.
With good oils, you can easily reduce the mixture ratio. I did this on my 2-stroke motorcycle from the 70s. Originally 1:50, I used 1:75 with no problems at all, but much less smoke. 1:100 with modern engines and oils are no problem, some run even with 1:200 for water cooled engines with special oils.
With the emissions: If you would put the same effort for low emissions (catalytic converter, petrol injection, …) in a 2-stroke than in a 4-stroke, there is not much difference.
What about vegetable oils?? Back in the day when they ran out board motors in midget race cars there was always the smell of castor-oil during the race. I think it was to improve octane but you get the point. TomC

In this work, algorithms were developed for retrieving water quality parameters related to Singapore's reservoirs. The main constituents that affect the water reflectance (WR) – i.e. proportion of incident light reflected from the surface of water bodies after removing the surface glint component – are the suspended particles, phytoplankton and coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM). The existing absorption spectrum model for phytoplankton in seawater is not accurate for the phytoplankton types that exist in the fresh water environment. The phytoplankton absorption spectrum was modelled by a series of Gaussian peaks from 400 to 750 nm. The peak strengths were dynamically derived from the WR measured. The phytoplankton absorption model is incorporated into a semi-empirical WR model for retrieving the absorption and backscattering coefficients of water components such as suspended sediments, CDOM and phytoplankton. The chlorophyll-a concentration and water turbidity estimated using this model correlate well with field sampling measurements, with coefficients of determination (R2) exceeding 0.8.
Water quality parameters are usually obtained using in-situ sensor probes or by laboratory measurements of water samples collected on site. These conventional methods are laborious and costly, and have limited spatial coverage. Remote sensing can complement in-situ measurements with advantages of wide spatial and repetitive temporal coverage. Using remote sensing, maps showing the spatial distribution of water quality parameters can be produced at multiple time intervals for monitoring purposes. Remote sensing data can be acquired by sensors carried on satellites, as well as air-borne or ground-based platforms. In this project the implementation of near real-time area-monitoring and mapping of inland and reservoir water quality was explored using a ground-based remote sensing system. The principle and methods employed are similar to satellite imaging, and the water body naturally illuminated by sun- and/or sky-light.
When light penetrates water, it is partly absorbed, and partly scattered by water molecules and other dissolved or suspended constituents. An optical sensor deployed above the water surface can detect and measure the spectral radiance of light scattered by the water body. This carries information about the water's constituents. The constituents' optical properties (namely, the absorption and backscattering coefficients) can be derived from the detected radiance by appropriate modelling of the light/constituent interactions.
In this project, a ground-based hyperspectral imaging (HSI) camera system developed at Lighthaus Integral was deployed for remote measurements of water radiance, which is the light reflected from the water body surface. The HSI camera operates on wavelengths from 450 to 750 nm. The spectral resolution (full width at half maximum) of each band is 15 nm. The output of the HSI camera at each scan location consists of 196 spectral data distributed over a 14 × 14 matrix. The sensor system is mounted on a tall building overlooking the reservoir, to achieve both wide coverage and high sampling frequency. A critical component of the monitoring system is the retrieval algorithm, which derives the optical properties of water constituents from the water reflectance (WR).
The main focus of this paper is the algorithms developed for the retrieval of chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a) and water turbidity data from Singapore's reservoirs. The project, which is supported by PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency, involved access to local reservoirs for in-situ measurements and water sampling for laboratory analysis of water quality parameters. The retrieval algorithms were calibrated and validated with the in-situ and laboratory measurements, together with WR data from the HSI over six months' continuous operation at the site.
There are several types of retrieval algorithm (IOCCG 2006). The earlier algorithms consist of empirical equations that correlate the reflectance or band ratios in several spectral bands to the in-situ chlorophyll concentration (Sauer et al. 2012). There is a limit to the applicability of such algorithms since chlorophyll is only one of many constituents that affect the inherent optical properties of water which, together with the incident radiation field, determine the WR. The recent trend has been to retrieve the inherent optical properties themselves from the WR (IOCCG 2006) as the constituents can then be related to the inherent properties using empirical relationships specific to the location and water type. A forward model is usually required for this type of algorithm to compute the WR, given the inherent optical properties as input parameters. In retrieval, the set of optical parameters that minimizes the difference between the measured and computed reflectance spectra is taken as the solution to the inverse problem. The main advantage of this method is that it is physics-based and the optical properties can be derived solely from the sensor data without any need for additional in-situ data.
Given a measured reflectance spectrum, the retrieval process consists of finding the set of values that minimizes the root-mean-square difference between the computed and measured spectra (Lee et al. 1998; Salinas et al. 2007).
The hyperspectral sensor system was tested at two sites: one overlooking the water at the Marina Bay area of Marina Reservoir on the roof of a 140 m tall building (Jun 2016 to Aug 2017), the other overlooking the water at the intersection of Sungei Pinang and Serangoon Reservoir (Sep to Nov 2017) on top of a 60 m tall building. The sites have different characteristics. The Marina Reservoir was formed by constructing a dam across the Marina Channel, converting the previously saline Marina Bay into a freshwater reservoir. Its catchment includes the highly urbanized Central Business District and surrounding areas. Water quality at the Marina Bay site is quite homogenous both spatially and temporally. The Serangoon Reservoir is in north-eastern Singapore, which was developed relatively recently, and was formed by damming Sungei Serangoon at the river mouth. The Serangoon test site is located where Sungei Pinang, a tributary, drains into the main river. Water quality here is influenced by upstream runoff from Sungei Pinang and has greater variability than that at the Marina site.
The hyperspectral sensor system automatically runs a full areal scan every two hours from 0800 to 1700 daily. For each areal scan of the water, the sensor runs through 24 and 16 scan locations respectively at the Marina and Serangoon sites. Centred on each scan location, the hyperspectral imager produces a matrix of 14 × 14 WR measurements. At each scan location, the sensor makes three sets of radiance measurements (Figure 1): (1) total radiance from the water surface; (2) sky radiance ; and (3) radiance reflected from a reference grey surface .
Field trips were carried out during the course of the project to make in-situ measurements of water turbidity (nephelometric turbidity units – NTU) using a turbidity meter (Thermo Scientific Orion AQ3010 and Eureka Manta+ 35 Turbidity) at places corresponding to the scan locations of the hyperspectral sensor system. WR was also measured using a portable spectrometer (GER1500, Spectra Vista Corporation). Water samples were collected and sent to accredited laboratories for measurements of Chl-a and CDOM absorption. Some 20 field sampling runs – 10 each at Marina Bay and Serangoon reservoirs – were conducted, each involving visits to five sampling locations and yielding 100 data points. The batch of 50 data points from the Marina site were used for regression analysis to obtain the relationship between the water optical parameters and the corresponding turbidity, Chl-a concentration, and laboratory measured CDOM absorption. The 50 data points from the Serangoon site were used to verify the regression results. The regression relationships were then applied to all parameters derived from the hyperspectral sensor, to obtain the sensor-derived turbidity, Chl-a, and CDOM absorptions for the scan locations.
This section includes examples illustrating the procedures involved in retrieving the optical parameters from the measured WR. Figure 2 shows the WR (solid line) measured using the handheld field spectrometer at a sampling point in the Marina Reservoir on 13 July 2017. Laboratory analysis reported Chl-a concentration of 21.4 μg/l, turbidity 6.35 NTU and CDOM absorption at 440 nm of 1.14 m−1.
The best-fit reflectance spectra (dashed lines, Figure 2), computed using the conventional phytoplankton absorption model (Equation (5)) and the Gaussian peaks model developed in this project (Equation (7)), are shown in the left and right panels of Figure 2, respectively. The measured reflectance curve clearly shows a dip around 674 nm due to absorption by Chl-a, with another, smaller, dip around 624 nm. There are further absorption features, shown as dips, around 500 and 440 nm on the shorter wavelength side. The reflectance spectrum computed using the conventional model fits the general shape of the measured spectrum but does not show the finer absorption features exhibited in the latter. The Gaussian peaks model of phytoplankton absorption, however, reproduces all of the absorption features shown in the reflectance curve.
The Gaussian peaks model of phytoplankton absorption was initially developed using measured reflectance spectra at sampling locations in Marina Reservoir and was subsequently applied to fit the reflectance curves measured at the Serangoon Reservoir site. Figure 3 shows the WR (solid line) measured at a sampling point in the Serangoon Reservoir on 20 October 2017. The laboratory reported Chl-a concentration was 16.8 μg/l, turbidity 3.22 NTU, and CDOM absorption at 440 nm 1.04 m−1. The best-fit computed reflectance spectra using the two phytoplankton absorption models are also shown. Although the two reservoirs are at separate locations, the reflectance spectra have similar shapes and exhibit similar absorption features. The Gaussian peaks model fit the measured reflectance very well.
The reflectance model constructed using the Gaussian peaks model of phytoplankton absorption was then used to fit the reflectance curves obtained from the on-site ground-based hyperspectral sensor system and retrieve the reservoir water's optical parameters. Both the optical parameters P674 and P624 (i.e. the absorption coefficients of phytoplankton at 674 and 624 nm, respectively) have high correlation with the laboratory determined Chl-a concentration, with coefficients of determination (R2) exceeding 0.8. The particulate backscattering coefficient at 550 nm (X550) also has high correlation with the water turbidity expressed in NTU, with R2 exceeding 0.8.
The regression equations relating P674 to Chl-a and X550 to turbidity were then used to calculate the Chl-a and turbidity values from every measured reflectance spectrum. Figure 4 shows the scatter plot for the laboratory determined and remote sensor derived Chl-a, based on the water sample analyses from the 20 field trips and 5 sampling locations – i.e., 100 sampling points. The corresponding plot for water turbidity is shown in Figure 5. (Chl-a and turbidity have been normalized by their respective means in Figures 4 and 5).
CDOM is usually quantified by its absorption coefficient at 440 nm. Remote sensing measurement cannot distinguish between absorption due to dissolved organic matter and organic matter present in suspended particles (detritus). Thus, the CDOM absorption reported here is the sum of the absorption due to both the dissolved and particulate organic matter. The CDOM absorption measurement reported was performed following standard laboratory absorption spectroscopy procedures (Mitchell et al. 2003). The scatter plot of the laboratory-measured CDOM absorption coefficient at 440 nm (G440) versus the remote sensor-derived CDOM absorption (normalized by the average value) is shown in Figure 6. An R2 value of 0.677 is obtained after removing seven outlier points.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
The project demonstrated water quality parameter retrieval using a remote hyperspectral sensor system deployed on top of a high building, with wide areal coverage and high sampling frequency. The parameters Chl-a, turbidity and CDOM were monitored. Quantitative values of Chl-a (μg/l) and turbidity (NTU) could be estimated using equations obtained from regression analysis of the optical parameters derived from the remote sensor system against laboratory measured values. The sensor-derived values agree well with those reported by the laboratory, with coefficients of determination (R2) exceeding 0.8.
An advantage of this method is that the algorithms used to derive water optical parameters from the measured WR are physics-based and no in-situ measurements are required in the retrieval procedures. The algorithms are based on well-established techniques used by the Ocean Colour Research community.
The phytoplankton absorption model (Equation (5)) that works well for seawater is not accurate for the types of phytoplankton present in reservoirs. The model could fit the general shapes of the reflectance spectra but not reproduce the finer absorption features. A Gaussian peaks model (Equation (7)) was developed and is quite robust – i.e., it can be adapted to the different pigment compositions of different types of phytoplankton by adjusting the absorption strengths of the Gaussian peaks to fit the reflectance spectrum. The model was constructed based on the reflectance spectra collected in Marina Reservoir but performed well in fitting the WR of a different reservoir.
The optical parameters derived from remote sensor measurements are absolute physical quantities and can be regarded as indicators of the corresponding water quality parameters, i.e. P674 for Chl-a and X550 for turbidity. However, in-situ water sampling and laboratory measurements are required to relate the optical parameters to Chl-a and turbidity in the more familiar units of μg/l and NTU respectively. The relationships are expected to depend on the types of phytoplankton and suspended particles present in the water. The algorithm for sensor measurements taken over a period of more than six months, and at two different reservoirs with different characteristics, was tested in the project. The sensor-derived Chl-a and turbidity values agree with those from the laboratory with high confidence.
The results from this study could potentially lead to cost-effective and more productive methods of monitoring and mapping water quality (i.e. Chl-a, turbidity and CDOM) in open reservoirs. Remote sensing enables the mapping of relatively larger areas at higher frequency. The ground-based sensor system used in this project has limitations. For instance:
the sensor needs to be deployed on high ground for wide coverage; and,
system performance deteriorates at high view angle (i.e. the angle of the line of sight from the downward vertical) due to interference from external factors such as excessive surface glints and reflection.
The system generally works well for view angles of less than 60 degrees. For example, if the height of the sensor platform is 140 m, as at the Marina site, the optimal distance of coverage is about 240 m horizontally from the sensor location.
The system developed for this project, consisting of sensor hardware and retrieval algorithms, could be adapted for deployment in different platform configurations. A drone-based system flying over water bodies could map surface water quality variations without the constraint of view angle, for instance.

Maybe I don't suffer enough
to write about tragedy and love
I call it bad poetry
maybe I'm out of touch
there is such a thing as too much subtlety
As I stay awake in this night hour
When I look up at the sky
I know I hear the werewolf's cry
Eyes gold filled with love,

She stands on a rainbow in the sky
I touch her softly just with my eye
But kiss her soul and say goodbye.
Until sun and rain do meet again
My heart will wait to fly.
for so long I've tried to hold on
to fall out of love from you

I hide myself in the words...
How you were and how you've been,
I spoke to you of my Plan B,
And the world ahead that I now see,
For without you I could not live,

You listened to me but did you hear,
Do you know the reason behind my tears?
I really loved you and I...
Into a man's right ear.
Stealthily but steadily
It creeps away with his heart's lily.
Gullible travelers fall at its feet
Its woven traps astoundingly neat.
But their conclusions all so horribly tangled
In a big puzzling mess of death words wrangled.
Maidens pure as...
I'm lost in space - a place of my own choosing
My path I trace - my inner thoughts embrace
Is it my mind - or just my soul I'm losing ?
I'm lost in space - while all around are living
I scrutinise my face - the lines I can't erase
I hurt inside but outwardly forgiving
Was I right?Was I wrong?Was I weak?Was I strong?Do I know?Do I have?Am I lack?My thoughts, my life,my feelings, my strife..Your thoughts, your masks,your likes, your tasksWhat is IN these, what is there?They are not me, they are not you..I am you, and you are me,there is NO other...
dreaming of me,
as i dream of her.
I can see the life that awaits,
not so far away.
Fields of green as far as the eye can see,
and in the lilac breeze,
the music of children and animals at play,
oh what a wonderful and glorious day.
Daddy how much I misd you
Daddy today is February 7, 2015, I cant believe it's been 11 years it's been to long,
How I shed some tears every passing year.
Daddy I think of you always
And every passing year.
When God took you away
To a place so dear.
I know your my angel...
She will hold dear his earthly desires
A woman in love wants her man to be fulfilled,
She honors him and bestows joy in his life every day
When a woman loves a man,
In her loving arms, he finds sanctuary.
He and she celebrate their passion
They are one in mind and...
GOD was in a dilemma about ADAM
He had created him in his own likeness
a sort of DEMI-GOD ! Upright - strong
single minded - handsome - hairy - quite
intelligent - bossy - adventuresome but not
quite self sufficient - something missing !
GOD had to some extent modelled ADAM...
A love I once knew
My heart opened
and you stood at the gate
Our special connection
intimate moments shared
songs of love lost and tried
songs of redemption
Sapphire eyes they draw me in
Mystique, depth of your soul
So masculine, but an innocent child...
from my heart
Rhonda your my best friend
From the moment we met,
And I cant tell you how glad
I really am.
Your there for me more then anyone I know and,
I love you for that just thought
You should know.
Rhonda we share secrets that
and shadows tango in the night.
Darkness sweeps her off her feet.
They dance around the corners of the houses that line the street.
They gracefully swing around the poles of the street lights,
savoring every moment.
The moon is their disco ball,
shining over them.
The death being raised
The sacrifice is placed.
For the pain a soul carries
Only her sweet mother marries
Sons and fathers though, unite
In the glory of the horror night.
Wine glasses clinking
High peasants blinking
Doomsday is arriving
With them men not realizing...
Filled with wishes, full of light
There always comes a darkness blue
Red of stake, green of hue.
Memories and plights to which we are bound
Tides of betrayal wash them all.
For there's nothing much more cruel than death
By a sword of roses, lily and heath.
I hope I can get a Honorable Mention at the least.
Lonesome Cries and Deafening Shatters
Angels dressed in pure white petals
Fly me lightly in cool morning breeze
To the destination most dreaded and unsettled
A place shrouded by sin and despair
A cause for the devil to bare...

Posterior tibialis tendonopathy can be tricky to treat sometimes. There are many different theories to the causes of PTT. However, what we do know is some of the signs of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction which can include: increased heal valgus, PF of the talus, flattening of the medial longitudinal arch, and abduction of the forefoot. While we won't go into the examination of the posterior tibial tendon dysfunction or tendinopathy in this post, we will go over the functions of the posterior tibialis.
The tendon is posterior to ankle axis and medial to the STJ axis which makes it a plantarflexor and invertor. Additionally, it directly opposes the action of the peroneus brevis muscle by acting as an adductor of the forefoot. It is the primary dynamic stabilizer of the medial longitudinal arch.
The closed chain foot adduction exercise is one of the more effective ways of strengthening the posterior tibialis. In 2004, Kulig, et al. conducted a study using magnetic resonance transaxial imaging to find the signal intensity of the posterior tibialis muscle during 3 exercises (closed chain foot adduction, unilat. heel raise, and open chain foot supination). What they discovered was that in individuals with a normal arch index, the posterior tibialis was most activated during closed chain foot adduction when compared to the other two exercises mentioned above.
To perform this exercise, place a theraband around the leg of a table/therapy plinth and the patient's foot. Instruct them to keep their foot on the ground throughout the exercise. Teach them to perform foot adduction. Be sure to look for substitutions as they are often common when prescribing this exercise.
This is an easy, simple, and effective way to help your patients "feel" their low trap working. By cueing them to rotate their head away from the arm pushing down, the upper trap will relax a little. Give it a try if you can't get your patients to stop substituting at the upper traps.
With the theme of rhythmic stabilization the past few weeks, this week's exercise focuses on the GH joint and scapula stabilizers of the shoulder. This exercise challenges the patient to recruit the scapula stabilizers which is important to keep normal kinematics. By instructing the patient to keep the palm open instead of tightly closed over the ball, more activation of the shoulder stabilizers must come into play.
Instruct the patient to be seated on a stability ball with their palm on the ball against the wall. Keeping their feet close together, begin applying rhythmic stabilization in all directions, increasing speed as needed. To progress this exercise, have the patient extend their opposite knee to create more imbalance to the exercise. A final progression would be to have the patient abduct their opposite shoulder with a light weight for a sustained hold.
