Movie Review: ‘Pacific Rim’ Starring Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, and Charlie Day
When you talk about big action movies, few come bigger than Pacific Rim – a film that pits humans in giant mechas versus even bigger monsters from another realm. It’s a genre that has been alive and well in Japan for decades, but one that hasn’t been picked up by mainstream audiences in America yet. Sure, children’s shows like Power Rangers have shown it has popularity, but it still hasn’t made its mark on cinema. Enter Guillermo Del Toro, the man who brought you films like Blade 2, Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth. The success of his previous films gives him the clout to helm a large budget action flick, and he’s decided to try and bring the Kaiju genre to worldwide audiences. The result is an over-the-top action film that, while light on story and character, is still a joy to watch.
In the near future, Earth faces an alien threat that comes not from the stars, but deep beneath the ocean. Erupting from a portal, these monsters named Kaiju (Japanese for ‘Strange Beast’) wreck havoc on cities around the globe. Cities are leveled before anyone is able to take down the first monster. Soon after, another arrives, and humanity must band together to take down the invaders. The world pools its resources into the Jaeger program, a program that builds giant mechs built to withstand the assaults of the Kaiju. The Jaegers require two pilots to share the load through a neural bridge. Pilots who are drift compatible and show aptitude for fighting are given Jaegers to fight the oncoming threat.
The threat of the Kaiju continues to grow as they adapt to take down Jaegers, leading world leaders to abandon the project in favor of a wall to protect populated areas. When this plan ultimately fails, it is left to the last of the Jaeger pilots to devise a plan that could end the threat once and for all.
The film primarily follows failed Jaeger pilot Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunman), who suffered the loss of his brother while controlling ‘Gipsy Danger’. Due to the neural connection while piloting, Becket experienced the pain his brother felt upon his death as if it were his own. He successfully finishes off the Kaiju and brings the Jaeger back to land, but quits the program due to the emotional scars. When humanity’s hope is dwindling Becket is brought back by his former commander. He must work through his issues, find a new partner, and help the salvation of humanity.
While Pacific Rim is not a thoughtful film, with its deepest moments appearing clichéd and overwrought, it isn’t something the film strives to be. It’s a “check your head at the door, get ready for a big suspension of disbelief, and get ready for some head pounding action” type of film. Despite being straightforward in its plot, it never comes across as outright stupid. Del Toro and writer Travis Beacham commit fully to their vision, and never once try to work around the silliness of the premise. Some people may find the dialogue ridiculous, but it fits in with the thematic elements of the rest of the film.
Despite the film being post-converted to 3D, it contains possibly the best 3D visuals in a non-animated film to date. It competes with Avatar on its use of depth in the 3D to enhance the action set pieces. It’s dark tone is highlighted with neon tones that visually recall movies like Blade Runner. Each action piece is deliberate in its execution, allowing for breathtaking fights between enemies the size of skyscrapers. It makes the visuals of films like Transformers and Man of Steel feel like the machinations of a child with ADHD. Erratic action sequences have become commonplace over the past decade in Hollywood. Shaky cam dominates many action films, but the wide angles and crystal clear framing of action make Pacific Rim a joy to watch.
It might be a perfect action film, but it still contains many of the pitfalls of big budget summer movies. Characterization is light. Neither of the main characters are very memorable, and are instead upstaged by supporting actors Idris Elba and Charlie Day. Elba is imposing as Marshall Stacker Pentacost, the leader of the resistance against the Kaiju. The actor is a commanding figure who embodies his role more easily than anyone else in the film. Charlie Day adds a bit of comic relief as a genius Kaiju expert who may hold the key to beating them. Day’s delivery and tone is very similar to his other projects, but adds a first for one of his major characters: intelligence. He easily slips into the role, and becomes the comic fodder.
Charlie Hunnam despite being the main character is easily forgettable, as is his co-star and love interest, Rinko Kikuchi. Neither are given much to do other than spout cheesy dialogue at each other, but the characters work the same as many popular characters in fiction these days. They are mere placeholders to allow the audiences to inhabit the roles on screen. Not much different than characters like Bella Swan or Katniss Everdeen, they are virtuous but empty. It is not the complete fault of the actors, as the script doesn’t give them much to do, but it’s hard not to wonder what a more charismatic leading man might have done with the role.
Pacific Rim is easily the best action film of the summer, and worth every penny to see in a top of the line 3D theater. It isn’t something you’ll talk about at tea time, but it is a visceral experience that will make you “ooh” and “aah”. If you are willing to leave snobbery at the door, you’ll have a great time with the film.

N.B. nursing home group defends quality of care after scathing report
SAINT JOHN, N.B. -- In the wake of a scathing report, the group representing New Brunswick nursing homes is defending the quality of care inside their facilities.
This comes after unionized nurses said this week that living conditions for many nursing home residents are unacceptable.
Some fear "the forgotten generation," will itself be eventually forgotten.
"It is a wake-up call," said Cecile Cassista, a long-time activist for the rights of nursing home residents.
Today, she's hearing from family members of those residents.
"Their message to me today was, we are very concerned," Cassista said. "We need to fix this because it's alarming to know that all of these things are there."
The association that represents New Brunswick nursing homes agrees with some of the issues raised in the report, but disagrees with the more serious allegations:
"There is no evidence to suggest residents and staff are living and working in deeply troubling situations," said Jodi Hall of the New Brunswick Association of Nursing Homes.
The association says it supports improvements in care, but as of today, it says "residents are receiving safe care and homes are taking all steps they can to ensure they experience quality of life.”
Political scientist J.P. Lewis wonders where the voices that will ask for change will come from.
Lewis says it's difficult for a "marginalized group" to generate political action, though, he says, that can change too.
"Or will there be stories, or will there be turning points where there's such an outcry," says Lewis. "Sometimes it just takes one case."
But Cassista says that public pressure is unlikely to come from the families of nursing home residents.
"They're afraid to speak out because there are no consequences to the home operator to penalize them and there are threats of reprisals," Cassista says.
The New Brunswick government has promised to study the findings of the study and respond where it feels necessary. The report, titled The Forgotten Generation, includes 38 recommendations for the federal and provincial governments to improve state of New Brunswick’s long-term care sector.
The pandemic exposed shortcomings, even failures in seniors care here in the Maritimes and across the country. Now, Cassista says this latest report validates many of the accusations she's been making for decades, before anyone had ever heard of COVID-19.

UPDATE: the memo is already posted on the whitehouse.gov site for anyone to review! How refreshing!
During this, his first day in office, President Obama called for open government, and issued a memorandum which spells out to approach the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) “with a clear presumption: in the face of doubt, openness prevails.” This presumption of openness is in direct contrast with limits the Bush administration put in place, a fact driven home by the last line of the memo: Sec. 6. Revocation. Executive Order 13233 of November 1, 2001, is revoked.. Now we’re talking! More of the memo reads:
All agencies should adopt a presumption in favor of disclosure, in order to renew their commitment to the principles embodied in FOIA, and to usher in a new era of open Government. The presumption of disclosure should be applied to all decisions involving FOIA. The presumption of disclosure also means that agencies should take affirmative steps to make information public. They should not wait for specific requests from the public. All agencies should use modern technology to inform citizens about what is known and done by their Government. Disclosure should be timely.
But wait, there’s more…
Meanwhile, in a paper requested by the new Obama administration team, Scott McNealy, a co-founder of Sun Microsystems talks about technology and reaches the conclusion that, “The secret to a more secure and cost effective government is through open source technologies and products.” As if that weren’t enough for a FOSS love-fest for geeks, he goes on with viewpoints…
“It’s intuitively obvious open source is more cost effective and productive than proprietary software. Open source does not require you to pay a penny to Microsoft or IBM or Oracle or any proprietary vendor any money. […] The government ought to mandate open source products based on open source reference implementations to improve security, get higher quality software, lower costs, higher reliability - all the benefits that come with open software. […] It’s intuitively obvious open source is more cost effective and productive than proprietary software.”
Ensure the Full and Free Exchange of Ideas through an Open Internet and Diverse Media Outlets
- Protect the Openness of the Internet: Support the principle of network neutrality to preserve the benefits of open competition on the Internet.
- Encourage Diversity in Media Ownership: Encourage diversity in the ownership of broadcast media, promote the development of new media outlets for expression of diverse viewpoints, and clarify the public interest obligations of broadcasters who occupy the nation’s spectrum.
- Protect Our Children While Preserving the First Amendment: Give parents the tools and information they need to control what their children see on television and the Internet in ways fully consistent with the First Amendment. Support tough penalties, increase enforcement resources and forensic tools for law enforcement, and encourage collaboration between law enforcement and the private sector to identify and prosecute people who try to exploit children online.
- Safeguard our Right to Privacy: Strengthen privacy protections for the digital age and harness the power of technology to hold government and business accountable for violations of personal privacy.
So far, so very, very good - thanks Mr. Obama, bringing openness back to our government and a fresh outlook on open source is going to make a huge difference not only for our government, but throughout our society.

Just in time for the start of the academic year, UC Merced's newest landmark has opened —The Labyrinth.
Located in Kelley Grove overlooking Little Lake, UC Merced Art Director Collin Lewis calls The Labryinth "a testament to our university's commitment to fostering creativity, contemplation and community engagement."
Labyrinths date back to ancient times. They are patterns people walk to reflect and have been found in multiple cultures and communities around the world. Labyrinths are not mazes, which involve decision-making, analysis of where you've come from and where you're trying to go. Labyrinths do not involve choices, but rather mindfulness and awareness of the moment.
"Installing art like this directly into the landscape of campus adds to the university's ambiance by not only elevating the visual landscape, but also by stimulating intellectual conversations and encouraging moments of introspection and mindfulness," said Lewis.
On Aug. 18, the UC Merced campus community celebrated the opening of The Labyrinth with a dedication ceremony. Former UC Merced Programs Development Director De Acker spoke about how walking a labyrinth can be a different experience for everyone. Some walk it while meditating, while others use it to reset or reflect on a question that has been on their minds.
"We hope that this new sanctuary on campus will have a positive impact on all who visit and walk its path, allowing folks to experience a temporary escape from the demands of daily life," said Lewis.
Lars Howlett designed The Labyrinth at UC Merced and said those who approach it are invited to take it by whatever means they see fit in the moment. Howlett is an expert in the creation of custom labyrinths, from replicas of classical and medieval designs to one-of-a kind installations. He has built labyrinths throughout the country and continues to research historic and new labyrinth sites around the world.
There are four phases of walking a labyrinth, according to the nonprofit Veriditas, an organization aimed at inspiring change through the labyrinth experience.
- Remember and center your mind on a topic or question before walking the path.
- Release the rest of the world as you walk the pattern itself.
- Receive your clarity or inspiration as you reach the center of the labyrinth.
- Return as you walk out of the labyrinth.
Once the walker reaches the center of the Baltic Wheel design, an immediate exit is available. But many people choose to walk back through the way they came to close out their experience.
"I can't wait to see how the community incorporates this new space into their campus experience, and I hope that generations after us will continue to enjoy all that The Labyrinth has to offer for many years to come," said Lewis.

Regular inspection and maintenance of axle hubs are crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of a vehicle. The frequency of inspection and replacement may vary depending on several factors, including the vehicle’s make and model, driving conditions, and manufacturer’s recommendations. Here are some guidelines to consider:
- Manufacturer’s recommendations: The first and most reliable source of information regarding the inspection and replacement intervals for axle hubs is the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. These can usually be found in the owner’s manual or the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. It is essential to follow these guidelines as they are specific to your particular vehicle.
- Driving conditions: If your vehicle is subjected to severe driving conditions, such as frequent towing, off-road use, or driving in extreme temperatures, the axle hubs may experience increased stress and wear. In such cases, more frequent inspections and maintenance may be necessary.
- Visual inspection: It is a good practice to visually inspect the axle hubs during routine maintenance or when performing other maintenance tasks, such as changing the brakes or rotating the tires. Look for any signs of damage, such as leaks, excessive play, or worn-out components. If any abnormalities are detected, further inspection or replacement may be required.
- Wheel bearing maintenance: The axle hubs house the wheel bearings, which are critical for the smooth rotation of the wheels. Some vehicles have serviceable wheel bearings that require periodic maintenance, such as cleaning and repacking with fresh grease. If your vehicle has serviceable wheel bearings, refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations for the appropriate maintenance intervals.
- Unusual noises or vibrations: If you notice any unusual noises, such as grinding, humming, or clicking sounds coming from the wheels, or if you experience vibrations while driving, it could be an indication of a problem with the axle hubs. In such cases, immediate inspection and necessary repairs or replacement should be performed.
It’s important to note that the intervals for inspecting and replacing axle hubs can vary significantly between different vehicles. Therefore, it is recommended to consult the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations to determine the specific maintenance schedule for your vehicle. Additionally, if you are unsure or suspect any issues with the axle hubs, it is advisable to have a qualified mechanic or automotive technician inspect and assess the condition of the axle hubs.
In summary, the frequency of inspecting and replacing axle hubs as part of routine vehicle maintenance depends on factors such as the manufacturer’s recommendations, driving conditions, visual inspections, wheel bearing maintenance requirements, and the presence of any unusual noises or vibrations. Following the manufacturer’s guidelines and promptly addressing any abnormalities will help ensure the proper functioning and longevity of the axle hubs.
Where can I access reliable resources for understanding the relationship between axles and hubs?
When seeking reliable resources to understand the relationship between axles and hubs, there are several avenues you can explore. Here’s a detailed explanation:
1. Manufacturer’s Documentation: The first place to look for information is the official documentation provided by the vehicle manufacturer. Consult the owner’s manual or technical service manuals for your specific vehicle model. These resources often contain detailed explanations, diagrams, and specifications regarding axles and hubs, including their relationship and functionality.
2. Automotive Repair and Service Manuals: Automotive repair and service manuals, such as those published by Haynes or Chilton, can be valuable sources of information. These manuals provide comprehensive guidance on various vehicle systems, including axles and hubs. They often include step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and troubleshooting tips to help you understand the relationship between axles and hubs.
3. Online Forums and Communities: Online forums and communities dedicated to automotive enthusiasts or specific vehicle makes and models can be excellent resources. These platforms provide opportunities to interact with experienced individuals who may have in-depth knowledge about axles and hubs.

The Berlage lecture: Edward Eigen
22 June 2018 12:45 till 13:45 - Location: Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment - By: Communication BK
On 22 June, Edward Eigen, Associate Professor of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at Harvard Graduate School of Design will have a talk with the topic ‘On Accident’.
There is little in general to be said about the topic: On Accident. Therein lies the inviting difficulty. The objects to be investigated (some of them broken, others lost, or merely terminally out of place); the protagonists (by turns unreliable and entirely too authoritative); and the non-straightforward narratives they mutually configure, emerge from, and ultimately recede into distinct settings whose own meanings require special tools to survey and analyse.
The New New
This lecture is part of the Berlage Sessions on scholarly research and critical approaches to contemporary architecture and urban design. Speakers link architectural thinking and practice to the history of ideas and changing sociocultural conditions. Under the theme of “The New New,” this series is examining the future that was once imagined by architects.

Australia:- A young woman in Australia was found to have tapeworm larvae lurking in her brain, a very unusual diagnosis considering she had no risk factors for the condition. It’s believed to be the first “locally acquired” case of the disease in Australia, that is, in someone who hadn’t traveled out of the country. The 25-year-old woman went to the hospital after experiencing headaches for a week. She was no stranger to headaches, she had experienced migraines with visual “auras” on a regular basis since the age of 18. But her latest headache seemed different. It didn’t go away when she took painkillers, which usually cured her headaches. And her visual symptoms were more severe, with her vision becoming blurry at times. An MRI of her head revealed a single brain lesion, which doctors suspected was either a brain abscess or tumor. But when doctors performed brain surgery to remove the lesion, they got a surprise. The lesion was really a cyst, and it wasn’t made of human tissue. Further tests revealed that the cyst contained tapeworm larvae.
The woman was diagnosed with neurocysticercosis, a parasitic disease that occurs when a person ingests microscopic eggs from a pork tapeworm. When the eggs hatch, the larvae can travel throughout the body, including the brain, muscles, skin, and eyes, where they form cysts. After the cyst was removed, the woman did not need further treatment for the infection. Exactly how the Australian woman caught the disease is a mystery. She was born in Australia and had never traveled overseas. However, people can catch neurocysticercosis from close contact with a person who is infected with the pork tapeworm. However, the woman did not report having a previous or current contact from an endemic area.

Selfies and self-esteem was the motivation for this workshop. Ruth 4 Kids partnered with Ode2You Photography to give the girls the opportunity to learn about how photography can align parallel with self-esteem. With selfies and social media being so popular today, it’s important that young girls know how to present themselves with confidence and self-esteem at all times.
Marquita and her team, educated our girls about how self-esteem and photography is parallel and how it’s all about how much we value, love and accept ourselves. In addition, Ode2You Photography informed our girls on ways to be creative when capturing photos of themselves, and how you can capture positive photos no matter the camera being used. This workshop granted our girls the opportunity to experiment with three types of cameras, to capture the beauty and share self-esteem and confidence with each other. After using the different types of cameras, we looked at the photos as a group on a projector and highlighted unique things about each photo to show that photography really does align with self-esteem.


Sensors called flow transmitters have an electrical transmission output that allows for distant flow rate indication. Ultrasonic, Paddlewheel: in-line, adjustable and fixed, Electromagnetic: adjustable, in-line and fixed, and Turbine: in-line are the various transmitters.
Electrical outputs from flow transmitters are proportional to flow inputs. To measure the movement of liquids and gases, they employ flow metres. The three fundamental types of metres used by flow transmitters are mass, volumetric, and velocity. In several process sectors, transmitters are used to measure media flow, pressure, level, and temperature.
The readings that these transmitters offer are used by the plant operators to optimise their procedures. Therefore, any inaccurate reading of pressure, temperature, or level could be harmful.
The most common flow measurement tools used in the process industry are mass flow transmitters. They calculate the mass flow of any fluid moving through a tube at a specific moment.
In other words, it measures the per unit volume mass (such as kilogrammes per second) that travels through the tube rather than the volume per unit time (for example, cubic metres per second).
In essence, the volumetric flow rate is the mass flow rate divided by the fluid density. Variables such as pressure, temperature, or composition can alter the fluid’s density. The fluid may consist of several different phases, such as a fluid with bubbles.
The Global Flow Transmitters market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
For recording the flow rate in machines and plants, HYDAC ELECTRONIC provides a variety of flow rate monitoring transmitters and flow switches.
According to the turbine concept, the flow rate measuring transmitter of the EVS 3000 series operates (recording the rpm of an impeller wheel rotating in the media flow).
Additional connection apertures for pressure and/or temperature transducers are available depending on the version. The buoyancy transmitter measuring principle is the foundation for the flow switches/flow transmitters of the HFS 2000/HFT 2000 series.
The Flow Transmitters market has witnessed a number of recent partnership acquisitions as companies in the industry take advantage of the growing demand for flow measurement solutions. These acquisitions have been made in order to gain access to the latest technologies, expand their product offerings, and increase their reach in the industry.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation acquired Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG, a Swiss-based provider of flow measurement solutions. This acquisition allows Yokogawa to further expand its offerings in the flow measurement market. The acquisition also enables Yokogawa to leverage Endress+Hauser’s expertise in flow transmitters and its leading products, such as the Promass 83 and Promass 84 series of flowmeters.
ABB Group acquired Schneider Electric’s flow measurement business, including its FLEXFLOW brand of flow transmitters. This acquisition enables ABB to strengthen its position in the global flow measurement market and to expand its product portfolio with Schneider’s innovative flow measurement solutions.
Flowserve Corporation acquired Valtek Flow Control AB, a Swedish-based provider of flow measurement solutions. Through this acquisition, Flowserve will be able to expand its portfolio of flow measurement solutions, including flow transmitters, and to improve its engineering capabilities in the industry.

Sometimes its pays to fade the news. Find out why APPLE offered a low risk entry point on the opening on Tuesday, July 22nd.
Here is a brand new video I have just finished on APPLE. I think you will find it an eye opener.
This from Associated Press
Apple 3Q profit jumps 31 percent but stock drops
Macintosh and iPod sales helped boost Apple Inc.'s fiscal third-quarter earnings 31 percent, beating Wall Street's expectations Monday, but investors pummeled the stock after Apple issued soft guidance for the current quarter. Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive, did not join the conference call with investors. Earlier in the day, the New York Post cited unnamed financial sources expressing ongoing concerns about Jobs' health. Jobs has survived pancreatic cancer.

Mike, for 40 years we were able to sleep safe in our beds because the Soviet Georgi Washingtov Class nuclear submarines used the Revell coil-spring missile launch system. But now you've given the game away!
I am planning to make a 3D computer model of the QM2. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get a set of scaled plans? The people who have created the models (Revell, Airfix, etc.) must have gotten them from somewhere.
I just purchased the Revell model and noticed that the stern deck 6 all around the Minnows Pool has instructions to paint the decking a different color than the other wood decks. Has anyone been on the QM2 that knows why? Is this not actually teak decking on this last deck? See the pictures.
I realize that this thread has been idle for quite some time, but I'm wondering if anyone's tried to float a 1:400 scale Revell QM2 model? I have an urge to modify one with the guts from a remote control speedboat to make a working QM2 model, but she looks like she'd be too top-heavy. Has anyone taken her for a swim?
Hi Peter, I am sure with some ballast added she will sit upright.. I have built a 1/350 Bismarck & a 1/350 Yamato, these came with electric motors incase you wanted to motorize them, I did not. I still have the motors somewhere at home and u are welcome to them if u wish, i will never use them.
That sounds interesting. What are the specs on those engines and how much would you want for them if I decided to take you up on that? If it's not practical to send them here to the U.S. then I have my little speedboat engine and an idea to try something with an old 12-volt drill. I'm sure spectacular failure enters the equation there, so that's only for use if I can't make anything else work.
Peter, Sorry to throw a monkey wrench at you but how do you plan to drive the ship seeing it had PODS and NO Rudder? Do you plan to add a Rudder and a single prop shaft with one prop sticking out of the hull looking a bit strange?
I remember there was a big model of the SS France years ago which had a reduction gear assembly wit the kit that drove 4 Props from one input shaft
Just thought I would throw these questions at you. Good luck though
Peter, You can have them mate(no cost), as i said, I won't use them. Just the postage from Australia, sent surface mail, as it will take u a while to build the ship...Dont have them with me currently I am at work but when i get home will see if I can find any specs relating to them - they are just the small electric motors similar to what you would probably find in a scalextric slot car, but they do have all the battery wires to make u life a bit easier, may need to look into gearing them... As Jon states above u will have to work out how u are going to "dodgy" up some sort of a rudder and shafts....
I have some scrap metal and an old blowtorch at home, so it would not be overly difficult to manufacture a bent propeller shaft connected by a universal joint. The plan was to make a propeller driven system, the number of props depending upon the number of engines that I can acquire and how many will fit inside the ship. I may also experiment with a system of gears by which one engine may drive multiple screws. The engines themselves would be angled so that the aft end pointed upward, pointing the propeller shaft upward as well. A universal joint would then redirect the shaft downward, and the whole shaft would be enclosed in metal tubing running from the aft end of the engine to the hull, with the bend in the shaft situated at a level above the waterline so as to prevent the stern from flooding. Rudders would be simple enough to make out of sheet metal and thick-gauge wire, connected to an appropriate actuator, which I have already.
Peter, You may be expecting too much from the model you are planning to build, Bent prop shafts with universal joints,etc, may be beyond the limits of a 3ft plastic model not designed to be motorised.
The parts I have include metal prop shafts, plastic propellors, battey connections, some thin plastic/rubber tubing, and some sort of a gear box. Please do whatever searches u can in relation to this, they are both from Tamiya kits and if u investigate long enough I am sure u can find some descripption of what is provided with these models. I am sorry I dont have a digital camera handy or I would post pictures of what is included.
We are probably verging on what should be discussed on the TRMA site so I will leave it at that....If u want to E-mail me privatly my address is [email protected] - and if u eventually get this thing to sail I am prepared to cover postage so long as u send me some photos of the finished product.....Hate to see things go to waste when others may use them...
I'm sure that she'll get into the water...what happens after that, I don't know. I give a 15% chance she'll work perfectly. 40% chance she'll work, but with a few odd quirks in handling. 20% chance she'll work very awkwardly. 10% chance that she'll work somehow, but my seals will be inadequate and I'll be left standing on the shore like a fool while she disappears into the water. And 15% chance of catastrophic failure involving explosions and propellers being shot through my heart. Whatever happens, even if I don't take you up on the offer, I'll be sure to get some good pictures.

Bagudu, Ogbeh, Emefiele, others laud rice mill
The food security and youth employment goals of the federal government is receiving major support with the establishment of a rice processing mill with 120,000 metric tonnes capacity in Argungu, Kebbi State by WACOT Rice Limited, a member of the TGI Group. The rice mill is part of WACOT’s expansion plan, which targets a capacity increase with additional rice plants to overall 500,000 metric tonnes in the next years.
Located in Argungu Local Government Area, along the Argungu-Sokoto road, the rice processing plant is the first rice mill to be conceptualized, executed and to be commissioned during the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. Work started on the Mill in February 2016 and is scheduled to be formally commissioned in May, 2017.
During a pre-commissioning visit to the 120,000 metric tonnes mill on Thursday, the Governor of Kebbi State, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, and the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, commended the Board and Management of WACOT Rice Limited for keying into the ‘self-sufficiency in rice production’ goal of the federal government.
While conducting the special visitors round the N10 billion state of the art Mill, the Group Managing Director of TGI Group, Mr. Rahul Savara disclosed that the Mill will produce top quality rice, and that it will generate direct and indirect employment for 3,500 people, adding that over 50,000 farmers will have ready market for their produce. WACOT’s Managing Director, Mr Ujwalkanta Senapati, adds that “WACOT views farmers as partners with whom we work hand-in-hand to improve agricultural production.”
Mr. Savara further revealed that the Mill is “the first rice plant in Nigeria with captive power co-generation facility and that it will generate 1 MW electricity from rice husks, thereby ensuring that all by-products and waste products are fully consumed and the environment is protected.

The U.S. dollar rose to a new 14-month high against the euro Thursday on worries about a growing debt crisis in Europe. The single currency has been battered across the board this week on fears that Greece's debt woes could spread beyond its borders and potentially harm the global recovery.
Fierce rioting in Athens to protest government plans to boost taxes and cut salaries has increased concerns that Greece policymakers might not be successful in their attempt to consolidate Greece's hefty debt load. Consequently, investors have aggressively sold the euro, with the single currency down about 4% this week against the greenback.
At the current rate, euro/dollar is on track for its worst week since October 2008. Highlighting the degree to which it has fallen, the single currency sank to one-year lows against the Japanese yen, nine-month lows against sterling and its lowest in a month against the Swiss franc.
Investors this morning will focus on the European Central Bank's policy meeting to see if officials hint at any action to restore a sense of calm to regional financial markets.
A general election is underway in the UK, with the pound's near-term fortunes seen closely tied to the outcome.
The Canadian dollar fell to a nine-week low against the dollar overnight as tumbling stocks in Asia hit investor sentiment. However, a tepid recovery in European shares helped the loonie to pare some of its earlier losses.
Market participants Thursday will look to U.S. weekly jobless claims for one last hint on how Friday's nonfarm payrolls might turn out.
The euro kept mostly on the defensive overnight, sliding to its lowest in at least a year against the U.S. and Japanese currencies, an August 2009 trough against sterling and to a one-month low against the Swiss franc. The single currency continued to be battered by mounting worries that Greece's debt dilemma could drag other vulnerable countries in the area like Portugal and Spain down along with it. The prospect of a mushrooming debt crisis has weighed on the outlook for global growth, the key reason behind the selloff in world financial markets this week.
Will the Euro Collapse in 2010?
Industrial orders in the eurozone's largest economy, Germany, soared to 5% in March, far above the 1.2% forecast and higher than the unchanged reading last time. As expected, the ECB kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 1% on Thursday. In the central bank's post meeting news conference, President Jean-Claude Trichet said he expects inflationary pressures to remain low, while he sees moderate, though uneven, growth this year. No mention yet on the impact of Greece's debt crisis on the eurozone economy.
Sterling kept near a five-week low against the dollar Thursday as an election finally got underway in the U.K. The latest polls suggest the Conservative opposition party led by David Cameron will win in a close call. Still, there remains a good chance that the election will end in a hung parliament, a scenario that should keep sterling vulnerable over the near term.
A surprise fall in Britain's services sector PMI to 55.3 in April from 56.50 the prior month also tarnished sterling sentiment. Investors had expected a reading of 57.0 in the latest survey. Iceland's volcanic ash cloud was seen a factor, as it restricted U.K. air travel last month.
The Canadian dollar fell to an early March low against its safe-haven southern neighbor, as the rot in risk appetite on Greece debt worries weighed on the loonie.
U.S. weekly jobless claims fell by 7,000 last week to 444,000 from an upwardly revised 451,000 the previous week. The result was slightly worse than the 440,000 forecast. Gauges of longer-term joblessness, continued claims and the four-week moving average, both declined which reinforced the
view that the U.S. labor market is recovering albeit at a gradual pace. Unit labor costs, an indicator of inflation that the Fed monitors closely, fell by 1.6% in the first quarter, more than twice the forecast of a decline of 0.7%.

Blackbird & Company Literature Guides are written for well-known children’s literature, with guides and their corresponding books divided into five levels: early bird for grades 1-2, level 1 for grades 2-3, level 2 for grades 3-5, level 3 for grades 5-8, level 4 for high school. Notice the overlap for most levels that reflects the reality that children read at very different levels whatever their official grade level. You might even use some level 3 guides for students in high school!
There are 13 to 19 guides for each of the first four levels and seven guides for high school. Early bird guides are for children who might not yet read well independently. Books selected are briefer than for the other levels, so each guide covers four or five picture books that are either by the same author or revolve around a single theme. For levels 1 through 4, each guide covers one book. Early bird guides should take about 6 weeks each to complete while guides for all other levels should take about 5 weeks each. This means that you would select a number of guides to complete each year.
These guides are premised on the idea that “the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual components of a story are inseparable.” While they teach comprehension and basic skills, they also teach children to think deeply about ideas, principles, and beliefs that motivate both the characters in stories and students themselves.
Early bird guides deal with one story at a time while guides for levels 1 through 3 break books down into four groups of chapters so that each group of chapters represents a week’s worth of work. The fifth week is dedicated to a final project selected from a list of suggestions; final projects primarily involve reading, research, and writing at upper levels and offer more arts-and-crafts options for lower levels.
Each week’s work follows a similar format in levels one through three but at increasingly challenging levels. Students begin by reading the assigned chapters. While reading or after, they complete worksheets on character development for a few key characters, the setting, and the plot (what is happening in this part of the story). This is followed by a vocabulary worksheet then a page with comprehension questions. Students are then to write a paragraph (with a topic sentence, supporting evidence, and conclusion) in response to a writing prompt. Pages are provided for students to compose each part of the paragraph in a rough draft. Students rewrite the paragraph into a polished piece after conferencing with their teacher. Lessons conclude with a substantial set of eight or nine discussion questions. While these might be discussed between only a student and a parent/teacher, they really lend themselves to group discussion. It might be worth gathering a group that meets once a week for only the discussion.
High school level guides are similar in many respects, but students will do significantly more writing. For example, they might be directed to write a 300-word reflection on the week's assigned reading. They will also write a literary essay at the end of the study. Instructions and models for the essay are included along with a Student Self-Evaluation form and Teacher's Feedback form. In addition, rather than provide discussion questions, the guide directs students to craft their own discussion questions "for your discussion group" each week. While this assumes a group class meeting, a student could come up with questions to discuss with a parent instead.
Each guide has a reproducible assignment checklist. A copy should be given to students so they can check themselves to ensure they have covered all elements of their assignments. Rubrics for evaluation are included.
Early bird guides ask students to draw and write. You might take dictation for some assignments if the amount of writing is too much for a young student.
No answer keys are included in the guides. Answers should be easy for the Early Bird level. For levels 1 through 3, you can find “answer keys” on the publisher’s website with page numbers in the novels where answers can be found for the comprehension questions. (Level 4 has no answer keys since the guides for that level do not have comprehension questions.) No suggested responses are given for discussion questions. The expectation is that the parent/teacher will also read each book and be prepared for discussion and evaluation of written work. With five weeks per book, this should be manageable for most parents.
One of the goals of these guides is to cultivate curiosity and imagination and to encourage students to dig for deeper meaning. This can only be accomplished well through discussion, so if you purchase these guides, do so with a plan to read the novels and fully participate in the learning process with your child(ren).
Literature selections are a mix of classic and current selections such as The Courage of Sarah Noble, Ben and Me, Because of Winn Dixie, The Magician's Nephew, Across Five Aprils, I Am David, The Mozart Season, The Book Thief, and Of Courage Undaunted. Early Bird literature includes books by Virginia Lee Burton, Paul Galdone, Robert McCloskey, and others. Packages with the books and study guides are available.
These guides are, in some ways, more comprehensive than many others since they combine basic skills in vocabulary, comprehension, and literary analysis with deeper and more meaningful thinking skills that are drawn out through compositions and discussions.

When you garden, you can grow delicious vegetables and fruits in your backyard; this gives you plenty of dietary options for the future. Why settle for a few fresh herbs here and there when you have the power to grow the ingredients for an entire salad? The following paragraphs contain a handful of helpful hints that will enable you to maximize your gardening endeavor.
If you want your garden to be successful, focus on your soil. In order to protect your plants from unwanted pests, it is essential to have healthy soil. It will nourish your vegetation and help them grow into strong plants that are able to fight off disease and damage from bugs.
Be careful not to over-water your garden. Giving your plants too much water can actually kill them faster than not giving them enough water. Soil that has too much water in it prevents root systems from growing properly. It can even cause your plants to rot from the bottom up.
Be sure to test your soil before you plant your garden, if you want to be successful without the need for chemicals. A home testing kit can tell you the pH of your soil, which indicates the likelihood of plant survival. A vegetable garden requires a pH of about 6.5; if your soil is off, you can supplement before your plants start to die.
When first growing a garden, attempt to put as much effort into the first bed as possible. Land that hasn’t been used for a while needs an overhaul to begin changing into a viable spot for plants. Usually these regions either lack the right nutrients or consistency of soil. If you plan to make a garden out of patch, make sure that it has all the right pre-conditions to planting.
As was mentioned at the start of this article the beginning, a garden is a wonderful way to have your own fresh fruit, veggies and herbs at home. If you use these ingredients when you cook, you will have a sense of pride in your dishes. Keep the tips you just read in mind when planting those seeds.

Cyrenius Waite James (1831-1911) has been honored by the American Ex-Prisoners of War, Fort Worth Chapter. A nice memorial page has been mounted by the Thurmond Fairview Cemetery Association regarding the event.
Cyrenius was wounded, captured, and confined at Resaca, Georgia, until 1865. He was serving in Company B of the 79th Regiment of Illinois (Union) Infantry. While a POW, one night he dreamed of his daughter, choking on a piece of corn. His daughter had died that same night. Up to the day he died, Cyrenius made continual claims for pension increases, claiming his hemorrhoids were a condition of his service in the war.

Prescott Hotel enjoys a rich and colorful history, starting with the marriage of two historic buildings into one guest experience.
The primary building was built in 1913 as the Cecil Hotel. It was a welcome retreat for those still left homeless by the earthquake a few years earlier. During the famed roaring 20's, the Cecil's ballroom had an alter ego as a speakeasy. The other building, of which only the top floors are used, was the former Press Club of San Francisco - home to a vibrant collective of journalists and writers. The lower floors are now occupied by a public relations agency.
True to the secrecy of the speakeasy and exclusive nature of the Press Club, Prescott Hotel today is still a very private escape from public San Francisco.


The Connection Between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Heart Disease
Living with rheumatoid arthritis is no easy feat, and some new research indicates that the stress from having it takes its toll on our bodies.
The Swedish study, published in this month's issue of the Journal of Internal medicine, found that in just a year after being diagnosed with RA, a patient's risk of having a heart attack is 60 percent higher. The study followed 7,469 patients diagnosed with RA for over a decade to study the risk of heart disease.
The finding stresses the importance of monitoring your heart after a diagnosis, and further emphasizes the necessity for taking care of your overall well-being.
Lead author Marie Holqvist noted that the study has contributed three important observations:
- The increased heart attack risk was apparent very soon after RA diagnosis, despite the fact that the median duration of symptoms before diagnosis was just over six months.
- Although RA has been caught earlier and treated more aggressively in the last decade, increased heart attack risks were still seen in patients diagnosed in the last five to ten years.
- Both rheumatoid factor positive and rheumatoid factor negative were associated with an increased heart attack risk.
Holmqvist, who is from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, said of the study, Our research underlines the importance of clinicians monitoring patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis for an increased risk of heart problems, in particular heart attacks."
She added, "It is also very clear that more research is needed to determine the mechanisms that link these two health conditions.

Unrelenting drought in the US west has led the federal government to declare the first ever water shortage in the Colorado River, posing a major threat to crop production. Recent climate-related disruptions to the agriculture industry are not limited to the US, as other major crop exporters like Brazil and Argentina continue to struggle with droughts of their own.
Similarly, the USDA’s most recent WASDE report noted significant production cuts in corn, wheat, and soybean yields, driving prices to multi-year highs. With weather abnormalities forecast to become more common, worsening crop conditions could suppress the growth of future yields and keep prices inflated for years to come.

Drought Continues to Threaten Global Agricultural Production
Climate related headwinds across the United States, as well as Brazil and Argentina, have continued to hinder crop health and production.
MRP has previously highlighted the record-breaking drought in the US West, and it seems those severe conditions could last longer than originally anticipated. The Bureau of Reclamation recently reported that 95% of the US West is now experiencing some level of drought, while the US Drought Monitor (USDM) noted that current conditions are the worst on record since the inception of the USDM in 1999.
Severe conditions have caused the federal government to declare the first ever water shortage in the Colorado River, as major basin Lake Mead sits at a record low level of 35% capacity. AZ Central writes that Arizona farmers are anticipating further water cuts over the next two years, drying up more farmland and reducing crop yields.
Similarly, MRP has reported on volatile weather conditions in Brazil, recently driving coffee futures to a six-year high amid fears of reduced harvests. Now, another South American country is experiencing the effects of a severe drought, creating concerns that global exports soybeans and corn could significantly decline.
The Parana River in Argentina, which carries 80% of the country’s crop exports through to the Atlantic Ocean, has fallen to its lowest level since the 1940s due to the historic drought, per Bloomberg. Ships have had to scale back the number of crops they can load on ships to avoid getting stuck in the dried up river. Drought has also lessened yields and worsened the health of crops, with huge implications for global trade as Argentina is the top exporter of soybean meal and soybean oil, and the third largest exporter of corn.
US Crop Prices Set to Soar as Yields Forecast to Decline Further
Adverse weather conditions will pose a continued threat to crop production as climate change becomes more common across the globe. Additionally, the forecast of slimmer yields are already driving futures contracts of major crops, including corn, soybeans, coffee, sugar, and wheat even higher.
The US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) most recent World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report presented a bullish outlook for agricultural commodity prices.
The report, highlighted by AGWeek, stated that…

The Apple TV is one of the devices susceptible to hacking, Apple has admitted. This is because of the Meltdown and Spectre bugs that exploit a flaw in Intel chips, which are used by all sorts of Apple devices, including Mac computers, iPhones and iPads, and Apple TVs.
The Apple Watch doesn't use an Intel chip, however, so isn't affected.
While the devices are susceptible to the hack – which would reveal confidential user information like passwords and credit card details – Apple says none have been affected yet.
Apple revealed the details in a blog post.
It advised users to update to the latest software version (that's v11.2 of tvOS for the Apple TV) and to only download software from "trusted sources such as the App Store". That's because in order to exploit your device, the hacker would require a malicious app to be installed on it.
"We continue to develop and test further mitigations for these issues and will release them in upcoming updates of iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS," Apple said.
