Our trip to Death Valley was not strictly for pleasure — we had an ulterior motive. Chris has just made a remarkable meteorological discovery that will be ‘officially’ announced by the United Nations WMO (World Meteorological Organization) later this spring.

Shot at City Center and Bellagio.
It must be said – this is one god-forsaken place. I can see why it was used as a proving ground for the Mars rovers and cast as the home of the Jawas in Star Wars. We found some interesting views along our 2.5 mile hike, but mostly just rocks and sand.
This shot of an unusually colorful pile of rocks and minerals is made much more interesting by the woman in red who kindly hiked into the lower left of the frame just before I made the shot, providing a prefect scale reference.

Vdara Hotel, Las Vegas
Kelly and I agree that this is the nicest Las Vegas hotel we’ve ever had the pleasure to visit. No casino, no smoking, free valet parking and a breathtaking view. Service was outstanding, and the price at the Vdara seemed reasonable! A rare combination, all but impossible to find anywhere else in Vegas. If you…

I won't deny it, I'm not trying to hide it
I stayed in again to read and write for my thesis. It's still vague, but taking shape every day. I have this sinking feeling that the only way I will be able to free my mind and make some new images for the story, though, is by finishing my other art projects first.
Tonight, I read The Art of Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind: Watercolor Impressions, which is deceptively named, as it contains ink work, preliminary sketches, quick art given as gifts, and a lot of valuable interview material from Miyazaki in addition to a host of watercolors. It would be really nice to own this book.
I felt a great sense of relief reading about Miyazaki's 3 year incubation period, where he read the work of others and created a library of motifs and sketches that would later become 4 of his films. He had so many changes of direction with Nausicaa, and times when it looked like it wouldn't turn out well, it was actually inspirational to see that he had doubts, too, and yet it turned out so well for him.
Though Miyazaki was humble throughout the book, he seemed genuinely upset by some of the covers he produced on Nausicaa. He particularly hated images of Nausicaa looking at the camera and smiling, since he thought those were so contrary to her character, that is, disconnected and hard to approach.
He also hated anything that screamed 'I AM A COVER!' :P
These were two of his favorite cover images:

I am sorry to have missed the BBC movie of Burton and Taylor last night, but I did not miss the real-life event. Although the review in the New York Times quotes her never reading material until she was playing the role, she did read a novel of mine, and we became friends, sort of. I received an actual telegram from her in the days when people still sent them--it was the year THE MOTHERLAND was published by Simon & Shuster, "the only book we are publishing this Spring as far as I am concerned," Michael Korda had written me, forgetting, I guess, ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN. Elizabeth, whom I had never met, was congratulating me on my "wonderful novel," and clearly wanted to play the part of the heroine, Evelyn, inspired by my mom, who had told me "I didn't like children even when I was one of them." Thrilled that she wanted to play the part, I told my then close friend Sue Mengers, who responded, with her standard cruel on wry, "Tell her to get the napkin off her lap."
Elizabeth was then clearly past it, though not in the popular imagination, and certainly not in mine. So we became friends. She was "dating" Henry Wynberg, living with him in the house of Tom Tryon in the Hollywood Hills, where the wallpaper in the bedroom, where she spent most of her time, being in one of her semi-invalided phases, was a metallic foil, so reflected her everywhere she looked. She was lying in bed watching one of her old movies on TV in-between the metal reflections of her, the first time I went to visit her, and to complete the picture, Richard Burton was on the phone. He was dating Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia, and needed money, and Elizabeth was going to give it to him.
At the same period of her personal history, a few of her long- time friends were in attendance, including Max Lerner, the very kind and markedly Left columnist for The New York Post, who was clearly and Hebraically in love with her, worrying over the pulleys on her bed that were weighing on her spine, a remedy her current trendy doctor had prescribed for her. "He had the nerve to imply he had an affair with me," she bristled, but still invited him to a picnic lunch on the terrace for a few close friends, one of whom I was hopeful of becoming. I loved her enough already that I sorrowed over the extra slather of mayonnaise-- mayonnaise?!!-- she lavished on her hot dog, as she was in one of her weight-gaining phases. I remember a discussion of Village of the Damned, where someone asked her if she had seen the movie, and she said "No, but I read the book." So much for tales of her not reading.
We became friendish enough that she confided to me her visions-- one of which was waking bolt upright in the middle of the night to announce that Gary Cooper was dead, which caused another mutual acquaintance to note how wasted were her psychic powers since they revealed nothing that would help anyone to better their lives. But I cherished the friendship-- I had always been in love with movie stars-- and there was no one Bigger in the cosmic awe sense, than Elizabeth.
At the time I myself was still a bit of a hit, so when she gave a party, I was one of the first ones invited and there, to be waiting the hour and a half for her late arrival. My friend, who had once been my agent, and was now a fabled bad but prolific and successful producer, Elliott Kastner, murmured to me at one point that "the only two above-the-title names here are you and Liza Minnelli." Liza, whom I knew only slightly, had arrived and made a bee-line for me, "Oh, thank God," she said, as though I were her best friend. "Will you come to Guaymas to visit me? I'm making this movie called LUCKY LADY with Burt Reynolds and Gene Hackman and I don't know either of them." I was at the time just embarked on writing a murder mystery about a movie company on location. "How will I learn about a movie company on location?"I'd asked Don, my husband that morning. Always the quickest to help me, he had gone to the library and come back with the magazine story "Burt and Sarah and that Dirty Little Death in the Desert,"about the mysterious death of Sarah Miles' flunky press agent, while she was making a movie with Burt. He had died with a "star-shaped wound," and it was murmured that Burt was the star. So the invitation seemed like the answer to a dark prayer, and I was soon to go to Mexico and write what was to become my next adventure. But that is another story. In fact, another, not very successful novel.
But as for Elizabeth, we remained... how can I put this? What is the best synonym for close, that isn't close really? I have checked Rodale's Synonym Finder, and the best I can find is "articulate," which sort of says it. I saw her once a few years later in the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel. She was with a friend who had been my doctor in New York, Lou Scarrone, who was, to put it kindly, vague, and generous with medication. He had married, for a short time, a classmate of mine from Bryn Mawr, Peggy Hitchcock, the heiress who funded Timothy Leary. "Oh, I'm just sort of hedge-hopping," Elizabeth muttered, her violet eyes unfocussed.
The next time I saw her she was heavy again, and had married a Washington pol. That didn't last very long.
Some years later, I was in Mexico, where I had once stayed at the Garza Blanca, the fabled hotel where she and Burton had had one of their trysts, which must have been just that-- completely and really. I climbed the hill to their cottage: it was overgrown and dark, no sign of life or movement, as by then neither of them had either.
But she remains, even dead, where remains are really remains, one of the last great movie stars. I look at who's out there now and wonder how they can be considered stars at all.

Mystery snails, just like Nerite snails, are a very popular breed of snails among aquarium keepers. They are large snails that are quite unique from other snails due to their different breathing technique.
Having Mystery snails means getting used to seeing Mystery snail poop in your aquarium. Since they’re living, breathing animals, they will also create waste in the form of poop. You have to make sure that you know how to properly clean your tank to keep it clean at all times.
In this article, we’ll talk about Mystery snail poop and what you can do about them.
Table of Contents
Do Mystery snails poop in aquarium?
Like all other creatures inside your aquarium, Mystery snails poop as well. In fact, they tend to poop every few minutes. If you have a Mystery snail, you’ll notice their poop cluttering up the bottom of your tank, floating on the surface, or laying on your plant leaves in no time at all.
What does mystery snail poop look like?
Mystery snail poop can vary depending on what they’re eating, as well as their general health. For instance, normal mystery snail poop is typically dark. Think brownish in color.
It can also be dark mustard in color. Some aquarists have seen their mystery snails poop sticky, dark yellowish material after feeding them sticky food.
Sometimes, though, mystery snail poop can look like a tiny grain of rice. When it’s white like this, you have to be careful because it usually means that your snail has some kind of nutritional imbalance. It could also be that they’re not eating enough green food, such as algae. If this is the case for your snail, be sure to add something to aid its diet.
Do mystery snails produce a lot of waste?
Mystery snails can produce a lot of waste. They’re some of, if not the, biggest snails in any freshwater tank. This means that they can eat a lot of algae, which translates to more poop. Of course, the more they eat, the more they’ll poop. And since they’re constantly eating, that means they’re also constantly pooping.
Their bioload tends to be rather big as well, which is why they’re not really recommended in smaller tanks. Luckily, if you only have one in your tank, it can’t reproduce. This means that you won’t experience a sudden explosion in mystery snails — or mystery snail poop, for that matter.
Do mystery snails eat their own poop?
Mystery snails do not eat their own poop. Although there are a few snail species that do eat other creatures’ poop, they typically don’t eat their own. Pretty much no common aquarium snail does this, so if you’re looking for a tankmate who can eat all waste including its own, you’re looking at the wrong snail.
Instead, mystery snails tend to eat mostly green food, as well as leftover fish food like pellets or flakes. Aside from actual algae inside your tank, they also enjoy algae wafers and algae tablets. The biofilm that forms inside your tank is also considered a source of sustenance for snails, including Mystery snails.
If you’re thinking of feeding your Mystery snails some special food, they would especially love blanched vegetables. Some good options are spinach, cucumber, kale, and zucchini. If you want to see an excited Mystery snail, try dropping a blanched vegetable into your tank and watch them rush towards it.
Do mystery snails eat fish waste?
Similarly, mystery snails do not eat fish waste or fish poop. Some people online claim that the pet store they bought the Mystery snail told them this, but it’s simply not true. While snails do eat ‘dirty’ material inside the tank, this doesn’t include poop of any kind.
To add insult to injury, there are actually no fish or snail species that would eat fish waste, which makes this misconception even more surprising. Although you may sometimes observe some fish in your aquarium nibbling on poop, it’s most likely a mistake. They’re probably going to spit it back out once they realize what they’re nibbling on.
If you want your tank to be devoid of all waste material, including fish poop and snail poop, you have to regularly clean your tank. This means regular water changes, as well as regular vacuuming of the substrate. It may be a bit harder if you’ve got a planted tank, but it’s the only sure way to remove all waste material from your aquarium.

Mainly the hotel met our needs. Rooms were decent and tv had good selection of channels. Bathrooms were nice also. But there were no towels and I had to ask twice for them, And I dont think that a hotel should charge you to park in their own parking lot when you already paid for the room.
Very nice hotel with a very friendly staff. We enjoyed being in that part of San Francisco. The rooms are small and our room did not have a view. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The lobby is small but very comfortable.
The Phoenix more than lives up to its historic reputation. The staff were absolutely incredible and the rooms were some of the most spacious in SF. The pool and surrounding courtyard were beautifully maintained. The on-site restaurant/bar was top-notch. Overall class act.

Sauteed the ham onions, garlic, and spinach in a pat of butter
Added the pigeon peas, stirred a bit, added the Worcestershire, chili, adobo, and cumin.
Heated the tortilla and wrapped it around the egg and spinach mixture and added some Uncle Brutha's No 9 green sauce (a local favorite--they used to have a shop near Eastern Market, but not sure if they still do. Anyone know?). I think it took about 15 minutes to make.

You can hear every parent think it when they read someone else’s kid was left in a car: “I’d never forget my kid in the car!” That is, until they do.
The numbers paint a grim picture: Every year, an average of 37 children die in the US alone because they are left behind in burning hot vehicles.
And while cars now have features that remind drivers to buckle up, remember their keys in the ignition or turn their headlights off, no driver reminder chimes in to tell you your baby is snoozing in the back seat.
To fill this gap, the creators of the popular Israeli GPS app Waze decided to add a new feature to remind parents to check everyone has exited the vehicle.
The feature, still in beta, provides a customizable notification when users arrive at their intended destination. Users can choose to enable or disable the warning and customize the message.
Numbers of incidents of kids left in cars rises
Without air conditioning, temperatures in cars can rapidly skyrocket. On a hot 32 degrees day (90 °F), the temperature inside a car can soar to a life-threatening 42 degrees (109 °F) degrees in just thirty minutes. Within an hour, a car can reach over 54 degrees (130 °F) and after that will surpass 65 (150 °F). And that doesn’t mean it’s safe to leave your child in the car on cooler days! Even then, cars can absorb sunlight very rapidly and heat up internally.
According to KidsAndCars.org – the only American nonprofit child safety organization dedicated solely to preventing injuries and deaths of children in and around vehicles – since 1990 more than 775 children have died in these preventable tragedies. This year, four children died over the July 22-24 weekend in the states of Florida, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Texas.

In Israel, where Waze was created, 400 incidents of children left in cars occurred between the years 2008-2016, with an actual total of 449 children involved, according to the Beterem-Safe Kids Israel organization. Of these incidents, 23 resulted in the death of the child. In the past two months alone, five toddlers died in Israel after being left in hot cars.
Could you last 10 minutes in a hot car?
In an experiment conducted this week in Israel, entertainers and politicians were asked to sit inside a locked parked car in 37 degree (98.6 °F) heat for 10 minutes. With paramedics standing by, the celebrities gained real appreciation for what children left unattended in parked cars experience.
Gathering user feedback
Waze, which was founded by Uri Levine, Ehud Shabtai and Amir Shinar in 2007 and was acquired by Google for $1.3 billion three years ago, has not said when they will be rolling out this new feature to non-beta users. However, they are currently asking users to leave feedback that they will gather to become a part of the standard version of the app that everyone has access to. Anyone can sign up to be a part of the Waze beta community, which gets them access to new features, like the child reminder app, while they are being tested.
SEE ALSO: Waze Acquired By Google For Over $1B
While the initiative by Waze is a welcome one, the danger, of course, is that if people are forgetting their kids in cars, nothing can fully ensure that they will be paying attention to their notifications. So the safest route is still the oldest: Keep your heads firmly strapped on!

Strike version of the Chinese all-weather UAV “Cloud Shadow” . In the West, it is sometimes called Wing Loong 10, positioning it as a further development of the line of heavy Chinese attack UAVs, which are actively purchased by the Middle Eastern countries.
The first prototype of this drone was presented at air shows back in 2016. The version from the photo, positioned as a drone specializing in strikes against ground targets, was demonstrated at the Nanchian air show.
The declared production volume is up to 30 per year (the upper limit is linked to the number of engines produced for this drone from ZFTH Aeroengine – at a unit price of 800-900 thousand dollars – as before, engine production in China is one of the problematic moments)
The maximum speed 600-625 km / h. The vehicle has six suspension points for a payload of up to 400 kg, a wide range of various missiles and bombs + a modern camera.
In 2020 summer, flights with additional fuel tanks were practiced to increase the duration of stay in the air and flight range.
Provides for the parallel production of both military and civilian modifications. This machine is likely to be actively introduced into the People’s Liberation Army ( in the coming years + somewhere from 2022, we can expect it to enter the international market against the backdrop of a boom in purchases in the UAV market and means to combat them.
An interesting question is the cost of such a unit, since if China can achieve a good price / quality ratio, as it was with a number of other drones, then this will ensure good sales of this machine in the future.

The Compulsive Spike Milligan, Norma Farnes
Snel beschikbaar en op voorraad in ons magazijn in Nederland
This second superb collected work of one of Britain's best-loved comedians is an excellent companion to the sensational original, ‘The Essential Spike Milligan’. Spanning his 50-year career and incorporating a rich and varied range of material, this second anthology is as wonderfully unmissable as the first.
When Spike Milligan died in 2002, he left behind one of the most diverse legacies in British entertainment history – as well as a legion of devoted fans and admirers. His themes ranged from environmental issues to the war, from nostalgia to depression, and his prolific output covers some of the most evocative events of the twentieth century, in a style both twistedly comic and harrowingly honest.
The huge success of the Spike Milligan anthology, ‘The Essential Spike Milligan’, has inspired a second raid on the original brilliant source. Milligan was arguably the most one of the prolific and mould-breaking comic writers of the twentieth century and this second anthology gives another opportunity to sample his finest writing. It includes more of the best from his war memoirs and novel Puckoon, his children's stories, poetry and drawings plus a wonderful collection from his voluminous correspondence from the 1960s onwards with such varied recipients as the House of Commons, the Director-General of the BBC, Private Eye and British Telecom. A compulsive read for all Milligan fans.

i20 WRC kicks up the gravel in October.
Hyundai Motorsport Accelerates Development Of i20 WRC
- Hyundai Motorsport continued the development of the i20 WRC with a total of 15 days of testing on gravel and tarmac during October
- Juho Hänninen, Bryan Bouffier and Chris Atkinson alternated behind the wheel of the i20 WRC at tests in Spain and Germany
- Homologation process started for i20 WRC
October 31, 2013 – As the start of the 2014 FIA World Rally Championship season rapidly approaches, Hyundai Motorsport continued to prepare for its upcoming challenge during October, testing the i20 WRC for a total of 15 days and driving more than 1000km on both gravel and tarmac.
“This month was exceptionally busy for us: we were out testing the i20 WRC on both surfaces for more than half of the month, with our three test drivers swapping the seat on four separate test sessions. We now have two latest-spec i20 WRC, which allows us to further intensify the development schedule by alternating between the two chassis,” said Hyundai Motorsport Team Principal Michel Nandan. “Overall, it was a positive month as we managed to test new parts, try different set-up solutions and cover some good mileage with the car.”
October’s testing kicked off with a four-day gravel test in the south of Spain where the team continued to assess the behaviour of the i20 WRC in warm weather conditions with both Juho Hänninen and Chris Atkinson on duty. “During this test we took the opportunity to continue the development of the car on gravel conditions, similar to the ones we will find in Portugal and Sardinia next year. We tried several configurations for these kinds of terrains and evaluated some new components which we hadn’t tested before,” explained Nandan.
The Hyundai Motorsport team then moved from the south of Spain up to the Catalonia region for a five-day gravel test. This was followed by a tarmac test in Baumholder, Germany, home of the iconic Arena Panzerplatte, which forms part of Rallye Deutschland’s itinerary.
“After concentrating on loose surfaces in the first part of October, we took the i20 WRC to tarmac for a test on the same conditions of Rallye Deutschland. We had some new suspension parts to try as we hadn’t tested on tarmac since August,” Nandan continued.
In the final week of October, the team continues tarmac development in Catalonia on the roads of Rally de España, the penultimate round of the WRC, which was held last week. “Testing on the same roads as the rally allows us to start to have some references on the stages we will tackle next year,” concluded Nandan.
This month marked also the beginning of another important process for the Hyundai Motorsport team. The dossier for the homologation of the i20 WRC needs to be compiled and lodged by the FIA by the end of October.

Results of the West River Ice Fishing League (WRIFL) Championship
After qualifying to get into the WRIFL championship round, I was looking forward to seeing how my partner and I would do. Unfortunately, he was unable to make it due to a sudden work commitment, but luckily, another buddy of mine was available to step in for him and he had a four-wheeler as well, which would work out great for moving around on the lake much more efficiently than walking would have been.
Since it was a total weight competition, I mapped out a few places to try that would have chances at catching perch as well as pike, since I figured that perch alone were not going to stand a chance at placing higher.
The morning of the championship was perfect, with low pressure, sunny skies, little wind, and temps in the low 50s. I was hopeful that we'd get some fish and have a good shot at getting into the top five if a few pike would play along.
Our first location, we lined up Arctic Warriors and other tip-ups in the weeds along the shoreline and jigged for perch in 25'-40' of water along the muddy basin. Finding fish wasn't hard, getting them to bite---that was another story. We managed to bring up several perch, but only one was a good one. We only had one pike take a bait.
After two hours, it was off to the second location to try for trout as well as perch and pike. We struck out there. We spent the last couple hours before weigh-in fishing around structure in a bay which, like the second location, failed to produce.
I felt a bit defeated that we could only manage several perch and a small pike for all our efforts, but hoped that others had the same issue. Well, most could find more fish, but surprisingly, not too many pike were caught. Finding bigger rainbows, in fact, was what placed the other teams higher, including the team that won it.
We ended up placing 9th, below where I was hoping to be, but at least, we made it to the finals and fishing against some of the best fishermen in the Black Hills, I could chalk up a successful tourney season to making it this far. I'll be looking forward to next season's WRIFL series that could include more teams and new locations to fish on. Until then, there's still hardwater to fish on around here for a few more weeks......hopefully!

Miss Universe Just Put All Eyes on This Dubai-Based Designer
After Steve Harvey wrongly named Miss Colombia as Miss Universe, it'll be hard for us to forget the woman was later correctly announced as the woman to take the beauty pageant crown. But one Dubai designer has made very sure that the world doesn't forget the stunning Pia Wurtzbach as she handed the tiara over to Miss France on Sunday. The Phillipines-born woman was decked out in designs by Michael Cinco who gave her some insane gowns to wear for the 2017 ceremonies in the Phillipines.
Pia stole the show as she arrived on stage in this sparkling blue number, which can be seen in the gallery along with her black design seen in the preliminary event and red dress for promotional shots. She also donned a Terno and Barong-inspired number fit like a glove (it has to be seen to be believed!).
We have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more from this UAE designer. Well done, Michael!

(CBR) Zak Penn is ready to jump into the immersive world of Ernest Cline”s “Ready Player One,” TheWrap reports.
Cline initially adapted the book, followed by Eric Eason (“A Better Life”), but now it”s time for Penn to take his pass. Cline and Penn worked together recently on a docu-series that tracked down and dug up the fabled Atari video game dump site.
The future-set story follows the adventures of Wade Watts, a teenager who plugs into a virtual world called OASIS. When the game”s creator dies, Wade gets swept up in a treasure hunt to acquire the designer”s fortune.
The film was picked up by Warner Bros. in 2010, ahead of the novel”s 2011 debut. Cline”s other novels, “Fanboys” and “Armada,” have been turned into a film and optioned, respectively.
Here”s the novel”s official description from publisher Random House:
In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he”s jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade”s devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world”s digital confines-puzzles that are based on their creator”s obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them.
But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade”s going to survive, he”ll have to win-and confront the real world he”s always been so desperate to escape.

The next step is to cut out the top and bottom frame plates. Before doing so I was sure to accurately diagram all the dimensions so that the drawing can later be transferred to CAD should I wish to CNC a G10 fiberglass or carbon fiber version of this frame. Before cutting the frame plates, I thought it would be best to drill all the necessary holes. All holes in the frame are 3 mm diameter except for those used for the Tarot camera rail mounts, those 8 holes were 2.5 mm. The holes will be used to attach the top and bottom plates with 1/2″ spacers, and to attach the arms to the frame. I also drilled holes for an OpenPilot CC3D control board, however I will be placing a NAZA-M V2 in this build to start out with. I chose to cut both plates at the same time. To do so I clamped the plywood together and used my trusty Bosch jig saw to free the frame’s shape from the plywood. A few 3/4″ holes were added to allow for strapping things down and/or running wires. Once the frame was cut, I just sanded it down and applied a layer of navy blue acrylic paint. Here are the photos:
The top and bottom frame plates were bolted together using a combination of M3x23 screws with 1/2″ nylon spacers and 4-40×3/8″ screws with 1/2″ aluminum spacers. I don’t discriminate between metric and standard, I like them both. The motors I’m using are Exceed RC Rocket 3015-840kv beasts which were left over after I upgraded my last heavy build to Tiger motors. They are mounted with M3 screws and six 000 sized rubber plumbing washers(3 per screw).
Bolted to the top deck is the Tarot T810 PTZ Mount Kit TL96014, a nice beefy setup. It consists of 12mm X 440mm carbon fiber rods and aluminum/silicone shock absorber mounts. The tray up front is a pretty heavy duty carbon fiber battery tray, also from Tarot – part #TL96018. Lastly, I attached a set of the Lemon landing gear I designed. They will need to be replaced with some taller gear once I assemble a new brushless gimbal for my Sony NEX5R. Next comes the wiring and installation of the DJI Naza-M V2.

Black Swift Technologies Garners NASA Contract to Study Venus Atmosphere via Drone
NASA is looking for organic material in Venus’ upper atmosphere. Black Swift Technologies now has to prove it’s the right group for the job.
Boulder-based drone company Black Swift Technologies, which recently partnered with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab for drone-infused studies of Costa Rican volcanoes, has just been awarded a contract with the space agency to develop unmanned aerial systems (UAS) that could study Venus’ upper atmosphere. According to Daily Camera, NASA has thus far merely provided the company with the basic specifications for the kind of unmanned aerial vehicle needed for such an endeavor, like the size, weight, and payload minimum required of the drone.
“They’re looking for vehicles to explore just above the cloud layer,” said Black Swift founder Jack Elston of his new patron. He added that NASA is particularly eager “to look for organic material or evidence of that material in the upper atmosphere.”
The contract itself is a six-month, $125,000 deal, which Black Swift will use to design the physical drone and the required software to properly run it. Funding for this investment arrives from the federal government’s Small Business Innovation Research program, which was founded to “support scientific excellence and technological innovation.” The contract will also allow for Black Swift to hire additional staff to accomplish its assignment.
While it might seem like this mission might require a vastly specialized set of skills entirely since the drone is set to operate on another planet, Elston and Black Swift’s drone expertise is actually enough, as Venus is fairly comparable to our own planet in certain regards.
“The pressure and temperature are similar to what you’d find on Earth, so it could be a good environment for looking for evidence of life,” Elston explained. Of course, it won’t be an easy task, either. “The winds in the upper atmosphere of Venus are incredibly strong, which creates design challenges,” Elston added.
At the end of this six month period, Black Swift will present its work and finalized plans to NASA, with the agency either continuing their partnership or not. “If they like what we’ve come up with, they’ll fund another two-year project to build prototypes,” said Elston. “That second-phase contract is expected to be worth $750,000.”
In regards to our first reporting on Elston’s company, Black Swift’s partnership with NASA to study the gases of Costa Rican volcanoes has been fairly fruitful. Once a series of test flights are completed later this year, Black Swift’s drone is set to operate in Hawaii, in order to more clearly understand the geothermal activity occurring there. From Hawaii to Venus, the drone industry is taking off admirably.

In 1992, my tree-loving husband planted a nut grove of quite a variety of edible nuts. He thought it conceived it as a retirement project. He enjoyed trimming and caring for trees and experimenting with the best ways to help them grow. The first fruits came in 1999 when the hazelnuts bore quite a crop in the month before he died in October. We put baskets of the nuts along with pictures and other memorabilia at the visitation, inviting others to take a few and plant them in his memory.
In subsequent years, we kept the grass mowed in the plantation so that the gathering in the fall would be easier. Year after year, we watched carefully, but the harvest was sparse. One of the first years after my second marriage, my new husband and I worked at trimming and thinning out the trees, but with two knee replacements then dealing with cancer, my deteriorating eyesight, and perhaps our age, it became more difficult. The trees continued to grow, but a few Manitoba maples also sprouted and grew, fast as Manitoba maples do. There were even some hard maples—good in their place, but not in accord with the purpose of the nut grove. It became more difficult to mow close to the trees so grasses and weeds grew rampant and the whole grove began to look messy and uncared for.
How like our lives when we don’t pay close attention to what is filling our time and taking our energy. For a few years, my focus was on my writing. Gradually, other things worked their way into my life until my writing was relegated to the few days I could fit in any given month. With my husband’s hospitalization and many medical appointments, it became hours instead of days. Oh the thoughts and ideas still held a large space in my mind and heart, but the actual writing was almost obscured by the undergrowth and the larger activities that grew around the focal interest in my life.
This spring, when we went to take another look at the nut grove, I was filled with remorse. I plead with my children and grandchildren for one day’s help. They responded positively and we had a wonderful day in the nut grove, led by the services of an arborist friend. We mowed the long grass and weeds, chopped down the trees that didn’t belong in a nut grove and trimmed up the nut trees to make maintenance easier. Now when I drive past the nut grove, and I’ve done so frequently, I feel a glowing sense of satisfaction, an awareness that it once more represents the intention of my first husband, and a warm glow as I remember the family working together to achieve the new look. It once more looks like a nut grove.
The nut grove has become an illustration of what I need to be constantly aware in my day to day living. Right now it may take a major time of sorting out and discarding, but if I do that, I will do more writing again. Some interruptions may be legitimate and necessary, but if I am more conscious of each demand on my time and discard the less necessary as soon as they appear, I will be able to maintain the integrity of the purpose of my life.
In this busy world, I probably am not the only one with this problem.


First Wind Receives DOE Loan Guarantee to Finance Construction of Oahu-based Kahuku Wind Project
03/05/2010 - First Wind, an independent US-based wind energy company, today was offered a conditional commitment from the US Department of Energy (DOE) for a $117 million loan guarantee to finance the construction of its proposed 30 megawatt (MW) Kahuku Wind project. Located in Kahuku, Hawaii, the project will have the capacity to generate enough clean, wind energy to power about 7,700 Oahu homes each year. First Wind plans to include innovative technology in this project, including a battery energy storage system.
The Kahuku Wind project will support the ambitious Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative, which aims to have 70 percent of the state's energy for electricity and ground transportation come from clean energy by 2030. The work on the Kahuku Wind project will create employment opportunities during design, engineering and construction including approximately 200 construction jobs.
The project is in final permitting stages. Construction will begin after the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission approves the project and the DOE guaranteed funding is in place.
"This is a positive step toward a major addition to Oahu’s portfolio of renewable energy sources," said Robbie Alm, executive vice president of the Hawaiian Electric Company. "First Wind brings demonstrated wind farm experience to this project and we welcome the opportunity to work with them to help meet our state’s critical clean energy goals."
First Wind intends to incorporate innovative technology in its Kahuku Wind project: a 15 MVA, 10 MW/hour battery energy storage system to enhance electricity load stability. Developed by Xtreme Power, of Kyle, Texas, the patented battery system will enable the Kahuku Wind project to store energy and provide as much as 10 MW of power for at least an hour during periods of low wind speeds. The Kahuku Wind project will also include twelve 2.5 MW Clipper Liberty™ turbines. Manufactured in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Liberty turbines are the largest wind turbines manufactured in North America.
"We are very pleased to receive notification of this conditional commitment offer and we applaud the DOE and its Loan Programs Office for its leadership in advancing innovative renewable energy projects such as Kahuku Wind," said Paul Gaynor, CEO of First Wind.

Annoying lockups for Live TV and Recordings
Just a quick overview of my hardware:
- Intel E5200 CPU
- Intel DG41TY Motherboard
- Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT (512MB DDR2)
- 2GB RAM
- Hauppauge HVR-1600 PCI card
- Seagate 1TB SATA drive
The system had been working perfectly for months -- with NO lockups/freezing whatsoever. In all fairness, there was a somewhat recent hardware change. When the system was first installed, I was borrowing and using an Nvidia 7300LE PCIe video card through a DVI->HDMI cable and getting 1080p. Later, I swapped the card with an Nvidia 9400GT PCIe card. I got an additional problem-free month of use after this switch.
2 Notable Symptoms:
- I'm getting the dreaded "NVP: Timed out waiting for free video buffers" error, which I tried to correct by following the tips on this page:
One suggestion on a page mentioned that there was an Nvidia xorg.conf file in the Extras directory. After discovering this, I promptly put it in place, which appeared to give me 2 days of problem-free use. Normally this problem will surface after a couple hours of LiveTV play from a cold boot. It appears to only be affecting playback, and not the recording process.

It’s official: The Blackhawks are headed back outdoors.
The NHL announced that the 2019 Winter Classic will be held at Notre Dame Stadium, featuring the Blackhawks and Boston Bruins on Jan. 1.
"The Blackhawks and Bruins, two of our most historic franchises, will be meeting outdoors for the first time at the 2019 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. "Notre Dame Stadium, with its capacity approaching 80,000, will provide an ideal setting for this ground-breaking event and will host the largest live audience ever to witness a game by either of these teams."
"The Chicago Blackhawks are honored to be participating in this marquee event at an iconic venue like Notre Dame Stadium," Blackhawks President & CEO John McDonough said in a statement. "The University of Notre Dame has strong alumni roots in both Chicago and Boston, and, with an established rivalry between the Blackhawks and Bruins, fans will be treated to an exciting game in a unique atmosphere. We appreciate the invitation to the game and look forward to what will be a great day for both franchises and the National Hockey League."
It's the sixth time the Blackhawks will be playing outdoors, and their league-leading fourth Winter Classic. The Blackhawks are 1-4-0 in outdoor games, and are winless in three Winter Classic games.
Chicago's only outdoor win came against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2014 Stadium Series Classic, a 5-1 victory at Soldier Field.


Do You Really Need to Eat Breakfast?
One-fourth of Americans skip breakfast. Are they damaging their health? A dietitian weighs in — and offers 5 easy breakfast ideas.
The mantra, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!” can be frustrating if you’re food-averse in the morning. But are you harming your health when you skip breakfast?
Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center. Advertising on our site helps support our mission. We do not endorse non-Cleveland Clinic products or services. Policy
We asked registered dietitian Andrea Dunn, RD, if breakfast really is the key to better health.
“Breakfast may not be for everyone,” says Dunn. “The term ‘breakfast’ means breaking the fast. And at some point in our day, all of us do that, whether it’s at 7 a.m. or noon.”
Dunn says much of the advice relating to the importance of breakfast is based on observational studies. These studies aren’t randomized clinical trials that prove its importance. (That’s welcome news if your stomach churns at the thought of eating breakfast in the morning.) So if you’re someone who doesn’t wake up hungry, delaying the first meal may be better.
“Listen to your hunger cues to know how important breakfast is for you,” says Dunn. “What you eat over the whole day is more important than stressing over breakfast.”
This doesn’t mean that the “eat breakfast” advice is bunk — it just means the importance varies from person to person. Based on observational studies, these are the top selling points for eating breakfast within a few hours of waking:
For many of the 25% of Americans who skip breakfast, it’s not because they aren’t hungry, but because they lack time. If mornings are hectic, you may need to plan ahead so you can grab-and-go.
“Think about breakfast barriers the night before,” says Dunn. “Do you need to have the toaster and items ready on the countertop? Can crockpot oatmeal save your morning? A little planning the night before goes a long way to getting you out the door and to work on time.”
To keep your eyes from going half-mast by 10 a.m., Dunn recommends choosing whole foods and skipping processed foods that have extra sugar. “Eating a variety of foods will help you feel fuller and keep you satiated until lunch,” she says.
Dunn recommends these fuel-and-go favorites:

4. Family projection process is when parents pass along their emotional strengths and problems to their children, this primary is associated with mothers and children especially during infancy and moving into adolescence.
5. Emotional cut-off is when a member of the family can no longer deal with the emotional stress of the family unit, and choices to remove themselves physically from the family.

- When looking at family systems, you must begin by looking at Murray Bowen’s family systems theory and “his views on the eight interlocking forces that shape family function,” (Haefner, 2014). Within Bowen’s family psychotherapy research, he noted that “family patterns and problems often repeat over generations, he also noted that families make up their own emotional systems, and within these systems they try to maintain stability and reduce conflict,” (Haefner, 2014).

In an act of provocation and vandalism, miscreants defaced a statue of BR Amdedkar in Salem district. Even as people in the state gather with their loved ones over the Pongal weekend to celebrate the beginning of the harvest season, an Ambedkar statue was doused in red paint. The incident which took place in Mallikundam, near the Salem- Dharmapuri border, is home to over 100 Dalit families.
Early on Saturday morning, people in the area discovered the Ambedkar statue defaced with blood red paint on the face and trousers of the statue. Ambedkar, the architect of independent India’s constitution, is generally depicted carrying the constitution.
The Chief Minister of the state, Edapadi Palaniswami, is visiting Salem on Saturday to inaugurate a pillar at the Mettur Dam Park. The pillar is to commemorate the final order of Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal in favour of Tamil Nadu. Given the high profile visit and the incident in the Dalit colony, police deployment is high in the area.
The statue was installed in the area three years ago. The locals in the area are conducting a sit in protest in condemnation of the act of vandalism. Even as people began to gather, forensic experts were seen collecting fingerprints on the statue as well as on a pole near the statue which could have been used as support to climb on top of the statue.
The incident also comes close on the heels of an inter-caste couple in Dharmapuri eloping and getting married in December. Security was upped to around 750 personnel in the area following the couple’s elopement, owing to the sensitive nature of the issue in the region. Speaking to the The News Minute at the time, Dharmapuri Superintendent of Police Pandi Gangadhar had said, “Old grievances and enmities may come up during this time as everyone returns to their native place. We don’t want to take any chances.”
