UNIT9 creates voice-activated Halloween hell for JBL & The Google Assistant in Shoreditch ‘Fright Club’
JBL have turned to content experimenter UNIT9 to help create a Halloween-themed brand experience.
Taking place at Shoreditch Town Hall’s ‘The Ditch’ basement on Wednesday 31 October, the ‘Fright Club’ experience invited 240 guests and influencers to an underground labyrinth of macabre and delight to showcases JBL’s voice-activated Link range featuring the Google Assistant and the powerful new PartyBox wireless speakers with a built-in lightshow.
Briefed to create an unforgettably chilling yet socially shareable event that subtly incorporates key product features, UNIT9 conceived a twisted interactive horror experience where participants were encouraged to use voice recognition to interact with JBL products.
After being met by a wall that transmutes into different bodily shapes thanks to stretched metallic plastic with actors behind – participants were greeted by an ominous hooded figure who tells them their safe word is: “Hey Google, lights on”. They then proceed into darkness, immersed in a soundscape – played on JBL products – of distressed animals, human screams and metal clunks. When they can bear it no longer, they shout the safe word to trigger a strobe light that reveals two terrifying twins snarling at them.
Additional spaces included a bespoke projection mapped hypnotic portal that used the Town Hall’s Victorian tunnels, textured lighting, silhouette acting and live-action capture of creepy crawlies to create a suitably spooky immersive landscape, A freezer room full of frozen bodies where the Link View and the Google Assistant showed the room’s temperature; and the cell where ghostly prisoners past have left hundreds of psychotic ‘Hey Google’ requests scrawled across walls.
Guests eventually found themselves in a gory party interspersed with performance artists like fortune-tellers, dominatrix, ghouls and contortionists.
JBL’s head of marketing Simona Bara said: “Halloween inspires creativity and is an opportunity for everyone to go out and enjoy themselves, making it a perfect fit for our JBL brand. We wanted to create a fun experience for guests to see our products in a different context, and we knew that UNIT9 – thanks to their previous work on escape rooms and movie premieres – were the go-to for delivering a spine-tingling and mind-bending brand experience that stands head and shoulders above all others.”
UNIT9 director, Sean Pruen, added: “What was great about JBL Fright Club was that the product was heavily featured throughout but never felt forced. We integrated the actual product and its functionality into the heart of the experience’s many narratives in a way that just made sense. This, alongside exotic performances, immersive theatre, weird food, curious drinks, projected visuals, twisted set design and live music made it a truly terrifying yet hilarious party.”
The activation was delivered by UNIT9 and Ranieri Communications)

Download OnePlus 8 Pro USB Drivers: The OnePlus smartphone company is famous for its mid-range smartphones. They manufacture phones with exceptional features at a reasonable price. But their most recent flagship, the OnePlus 8 series, has taken the market by storm. The mobile instantly became a competition in the mobile phone market and is expensive as the real flagships.
Their recent series features some striking hardware specifications and other characteristics, especially the OnePlus 8 Pro. The OnePlus 8 features a fluid AMOLED 6.55″ display while the OnePlus 8 Pro sports a massive 6.78″ display. The phones have a 48 MP camera, with their Random Access Memory (RAM) starting from 8 GB to 12 GB and they feature Storage specs from 128 GB to 256 GB.
With such a colossal memory, users would obviously be looking forward to exploiting the phone’s storage capacity to its extent by storing a lot of data on their phones. Now this, ultimately leads to the arousing of the need to transfer data from their phones to the computers. For this, you need to ensure that an appropriate USB driver for the OnePlus 8 series is installed and configured on your PC.
This article contains guides for you regarding the installation of OnePlus 8 Pro USB drivers. All Android manufactures have their own compatible drivers for their phones. Each manufacturer requires the appropriate USB drivers for its phone to be installed on the PC for any transmission to take place between the phone and the user’s PC. But no need to worry if you do not have the USB driver for your OnePlus 8 Pro. In this article, we will guide you regarding how to install and configure USB drivers for the OnePlus 8 pro on your PC.
Download OnePlus 8 Pro USB drivers
An integral part of getting a new phone is to have appropriate USB drivers for the phone available on your computer, in order for your phone and your computer to communicate with each other. USB drivers for Android phones is an essential factor in transferring files from your phone to your PC. Compatible drivers help to make certain that the files on your phone, whether they are pictures, videos, music or documents, are safely and efficiently transferred to your computer. In the below headings, we have mentioned the way users can download appropriate USB drivers for the OnePlus 8 pro for Windows as well as Macs.
OnePlus 8 Pro USB Drivers for Windows
Here are listed the latest OnePlus 8 series USB drivers for Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7:
OnePlus 8 = USB driver for OnePlus 8 can be downloaded from here.
OnePlus 8 Pro = USB driver for OnePlus 8 pro can be downloaded from here.
WARNING: These USB drivers for the OnePlus 8 series can only be used for Windows PC. Using these drivers to configure your Mac or Linux systems can result in damage to your device.
How to Connect OnePlus 8 Pro to Windows PC
We have listed some easy steps for you to follow in order to connect your phone to your computer so that you can transfer content from your phone to your computer:
Step # 1: First you have to download the OnePlus 8 Pro USB drivers for your phone on your Windows PC using the link given above and install it on your PC. You will not see any new icons or newly downloaded files on your desktops and programs list.
Step # 2: Next, you have to connect your OnePlus 8 phone to your PC using a Type-C USB cable.
Step # 3: Now, it is time to be patient and wait while your PC sets up the appropriate USB drivers and the essential files.
Step # 4: You will now notice that various files are being installed on your PC. The download does not start earlier because the USB driver file you have downloaded from the above link is an executable file (.exe) and contains the appropriate USB drivers within it. The files need to be executed and this is done when your phone connects to the PC. As soon as the download is completed, go to My Computer / This PC to find your phone.
Step # 5: Double click on your phone and now you are ready to transfer any files from your phone to your PC.
Download OnePlus 8 Pro USB Drivers for Mac
Your Mac requires a different method to connect to your OnePlus 8 Pro. In order to connect any Android phone to your Mac, Google and Android manufacturers have created the Android File Transfer. On this Instrument, the OnePlus 8 Pro is totally compatible with the transfer of files between itself and the macOS Mojave, the macOS Catalina, and the macOS High Sierra. The Android File Transfer tool can be downloaded from here. This tool is very simple to use. It allows you to manage files and folders on your OnePlus 8 Pro and drag and drop files between both the connected devices.
Using the Android File Transfer to transfer files from your phone to Mac is a piece of cake. Nevertheless, we have created a list of steps to make it even simpler for you:
Step # 1: As mentioned above, first you need to download the Android File Transfer on your Mac and install it.
Step # 2: Then you need to connect your phone to your Mac using a Type-C USB cable. You should prefer using the original data cable that came with your phone, in order to avoid compatibility issues and carry out data transmission at the highest rate possible.
Step # 3: Now wait until your Mac recognizes the phone connected to it. You would have to remain patient as the Mac takes some time to recognize a device connected to it for the first time.
Step # 4: Next, your phone will ask for your permission to let it connect itself to the Mac. If you want to continue, you are required to press Allow.
Step # 5: After completing, the above-mentioned steps, the Android File Transfer window will automatically pop up with your phone connected to it.
OnePlus 8 Pro ADB / Fastboot Drivers
If you are a developer who wants to develop and install different custom recoveries or if you want to try other modifications and custom ROMs on your phone, you are required to use Fastboot drivers. Using these tools, you can connect to your computer as it gives your computer access to your phone’s system. This way, you can download and install different custom ROMs and Mods on your phone from your PC. Android SDK is required to install Fastboot and ADB Tools on your PC
How to Enable Files Transfer Mode on OnePlus 8 Pro
Before beginning any file transfer between your phone and your Windows PC or Mac, you always have to enable the File transfer Mode on your mobile phone, or the file transfer would simply not take place. This is because the option is disabled by default on your phone. Once again, no need to sweat over it because we have got this covered as well.
Step # 1: Connect your OnePlus 8 Pro to your Windows PC or Mac using a Type-C USB cable.
Step # 2: By default, your phone is set to be on ‘charge only’ mode once it connects to your computer. So to enable the Transfer Files option, you need to access your phone’s settings.
Step # 3: Go to “System” > “Bluetooth & device communication” > Click on “File Transfer”
Step # 4: Finally, you need to select and enable this option, to begin with transferring files over your phone to your PC.
These were the complete steps to download and install OnePlus 8 Pro USB Drivers on PC. Now you no longer need to stress over connecting your OnePlus 8 Pro to your computer, because following the mentioned steps, you are more than just prepared to transfer files from your phone to your PC and from your PC to your Phone.

Premiere: Quelle Chris Examines "Guns" on First Single From Upcoming Album
The first taste of Quelle's new album, which is coming next month.
Quelle Chris Guns
The great NYC-via-Detroit rapper and producer Quelle Chris has been on a roll lately, with 2017's superb Being You Is Great, I Wish I Could Be You More Often and last year's critically beloved collaboration with Jean Grae, Everything's Fine.
Now he's continuing the streak with a new album due March 29, called Guns. Complex is proud to premiere the record's title track, a meditation on the uses and meaning of weapons.
“‘Guns’ is an arsenal of both sounds, styles and subjects. At its core it’s about things that can be weaponized for good or evil, including ourselves” Quelle said. “The words we say, what we fear, how we love, how we live, what we ingest, what we believe in, who we idolize, shit like that. Somewhat a sonic study of the question, ‘Do guns kill people or do people kill people?’ I never start an album the same way, but one constant is I try to forget about everything I made before and do something different. Because I’m a fan too and I like hearing new things. I’d say we accomplished that with Guns. My goal with this and all albums is to create pieces people can enjoy, start to finish, for decades to come.”
You can listen to “Guns” below, and you can pre-order, favorite, and add Guns—the album—here. “Guns” (the song) will be an instant grat track starting at midnight.

The fiction of HP Lovecraft – known broadly as weird fiction and more specifically as cosmic horror – ushered in a genre that rejected the “clanking chains” inherent to the Gothic and supernatural fiction (Lovecraft, 2012, p. 28). The weird is defined by its “atmosphere of breathless and unexplainable dread of outer, unknown forces”, and in Lovecraft's fiction the antagonist is the revelation of a cold and indifferent universe weighing down on the characters’ sanity and safety (Lovecraft, 2012, p. 28). This sense of a world in which humanity’s distinctly anthropocentric perspective, which positions everything “entirely in relation to the human”, manifests in Lovecraft's oeuvre in the form of unspeakable alien entities beyond the ken of human understanding (Clark, 2011, p. 3). These alien bodies imperil human dominance and existence, and in unison with Lovecraft's cosmicism, form a framework around which the author’s fictional universe holds fast. Lovecraft's work has been a seminal influence on this author’s own fictional output in terms of genre and the nature of the weird’s monsters, whose forms are untethered by the weight of existing mythic or folkloric antecedents (Miéville, 2009, p. 512).
However, as predicated on a cohesive worldview as Lovecraft's fiction is, it also unfortunately bears the weight of the man’s other driving ideology: a lifelong and passionate belief in the “biological inferiority of blacks” (Joshi, 2013, p. 504). Lovecraft's racial attitudes saturate his work, his fears around “hybridity, impurity … degeneration” and miscegenation manifesting as metaphor in the form of backward townsfolk breeding with creatures from the sea (Sederholm & Weinstock, 2016, p. 27). In other stories Lovecraft simply portrays non-white people as vile practitioners of the occult, carrying out their “patterns of primitive half-ape savagery” as a form of iniquitous heredity; robbed of agency, they commit evil for evil’s sake, and because it is intrinsic to their nature (Lovecraft, 2011, p. 317). In Lovecraft's two dominant ideologies – cosmicism and racism – we can see a drastic disconnect, an illogic in which the two contradict each other. Bullington (2014) suggests that “writing is always a dialogue with one’s literary predecessors. Authors push and pull against everything and everyone that came before” (2014, p. 7). The weird is an ever-evolving genre, defined from the outset by its unique monsters and methods of storytelling. But in order to continue this originality, the problems plaguing the genre’s past – and its most renowned practitioner – must be challenged. As a person of mixed race, and in light of current events precipitating a swell in white supremacy – such as the 2016 US election – there is a significant personal impetus in challenging the troubling and penetrating views of an author who was also a seminal influence on this author’s work. This position is not unique in the field of the weird. Several contemporary writers recognise their fractious relationship with Lovecraft, drawing elements from his mythos while subverting the more distasteful aspects for a modern reader. Of particular focus is Lovecraft's racism and lack of distinctive female characters. These issues are tackled in works such as The Ballad of Black Tom (2016) by Victor LaValle, Lovecraft Country (2016) by Matt Ruff, and Kij Johnson’s The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe (2016), among others.
Unravel bears the marks of this evolution, too; its narrator is mixed-race, the product of a white father and a black mother of mixed African descent, the inclusion of which challenges the exclusively white perspective of Lovecraft's protagonists. Unravel attempts to replace the xenophobic foundations of Lovecraft's fiction with an ecocritical framework that, firstly, challenges ideas of anthropocentrism, and secondly, presents humanity’s relationship with both the natural world and the notion of the monstrous, or other. Accompanying this is the exploration of racism in Lovecraft's fiction, as well as an examination of contemporary writers whose fiction directly challenges that racism, such as The Ballad of Black Tom. It goes on to examine the portrayal of the natural world and its relationship to the human in the first book of Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach trilogy, Annihilation (2014a). In both cases, Unravel is examined in comparison to these two pieces, and as far as it both challenges and is indebted to Lovecraft's work. Unravel destabilises the conflicting anthropocentrism in Lovecraft's fiction as well as challenging his racist worldview with explorations of both through Unravel’s characters. The novel breaks new ground for the weird, situating itself among works like Black Tom and Annihilation in their examination of both the shortcomings of the genre’s past and new foundations being laid for its future.
Access to this thesis is restricted to the exegesis.

The conventional expectation is that ever-growing computing power will be a boon for humanity. But what if those expectations are wrong? Could artificial superintelligence instead cause us great harm? Our extinction?
It is unclear if humanity will ever be prepared for superintelligence, but we are certainly not ready now. Research on artificial intelligence must slow down or even pause. And if researchers will not make this decision, governments should make it for them.

Rapid Response Interim Removal Action (IRA), Portland Air National Guard Base (ANGB), Portland, OR – USACE Omaha District
KGS conducted a rapid response Interim Removal Action for a fuel release at the Portland ANGB, Portland, Oregon, to remove contaminated soil and groundwater surrounding a bulk storage tank release and nearby drainage swales to reduce migration of fuel contaminants. The location of the fuel release required excavation above and surrounding existing fuel and electrical lines using air-knife and vacuum truck excavation methods. Extensive excavation of fuel-contaminated sediments and rip-rap was also required in adjacent drainage swales, which were saturated with stormwater from more than 3-inches of rain in the days leading up to the start of field work. Other challenges included excavation through trench box shoring to maintain stability of an adjacent retaining wall in the bulk storage tank area, and dewatering/stabilization of saturated sediments with perlite prior to loading into transport trucks for disposal. Removal and restoration activities were conducted over a two-week period, resulting in the disposal of 450 tons of impacted soils and 20,000 gallons of free-product and contaminated groundwater.


After a 7-Month Wait, This Vacationer Acquired Machu Picchu All to Himself
Jesse Katayama had planned to end a trip around the world 8,000 feet above sea level in Machu Picchu, the sprawling 15th-century Inca citadel high in the Andes.
Then the coronavirus happened which left Mr Katayama, a 26-year-old Japanese national, stranded in Peru and tourism sites closed due to a lockdown across the country.
On Sunday, after a waiting period of seven months, Mr. Katayama was finally allowed to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site. And apart from a few guides, he had everything to himself.
“After the lockdown, the first man to visit Machu Picchu is meeeeeee,” he wrote in a post on Instagram that included photos of him with a park official.
Alejandro Neyra, Peru’s Minister of Culture, said in a virtual press conference on Monday that Mr Katayama had been given special access to the website in recognition of his patience.
“He came to Peru with the dream of entering,” said Neyra. “The Japanese citizen entered with our park manager so he could do this before returning to his country.”
Before the pandemic, Machu Picchu welcomed thousands of visitors every day. Tourists usually need to apply months in advance for permission to enter an Inca trail that leads to the ancient fortress.
Mr. Katayama’s original pass was scheduled for March 16, and he arrived two days earlier in Aguas Calientes, a town at the foot of the mountain.
Two days became weeks and then months. He rented a small apartment in town and spent the time taking daily yoga classes, teaching local kids how to box, and studying for various fitness and sports nutrition certification exams.
He wrote on a crowdfunding website in 2019 that he dreamed of opening a boxing hall in Japan and wanted to travel the world to learn the best approaches from each country. Before reaching Peru, he taught boxing in Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Egypt and Kenya.
Katayama told a Japanese news agency that he was considering joining the evacuation flights organized by the Japanese government this spring, but found them too expensive. He finally decided to stay and postponed his departure in the hope that Machu Picchu would reopen soon.
His patience paid off in the end, and he became a local celebrity last week when La República, a major Peruvian broadsheet, covered his vigil calling him “the last tourist to Machu Picchu”.
“I stayed with the sole aim of getting to know this miracle and I didn’t want to leave without doing it,” he told the newspaper in a separate interview.
The news of his persistence led hundreds of well-wishers to offer to petition the authorities on his behalf, he said on Instagram.
Mr. Neyra, the minister of culture, said the authorities had received a visitor application for Mr. Katayama and decided to give him special access before returning to Japan.
The pandemic has devastated Peru’s tourism industry, the third largest income generator in the country. The industry employs more than 1.3 million workers, or nearly 8 percent of the country’s workforce, the Lima Chamber of Commerce said in 2018. When the trip stopped, most of these jobs were lost.
Peru has also reported an increasing number of coronavirus cases and more than 33,000 deaths.
Mr Neyras said seven archaeological sites in Cusco, a city in the Andes, would reopen to small groups on Thursday with a capacity of 30 percent. A reopening date for Machu Picchu has yet to be announced.


Skoda is planning to introduce and all-new SUV called Snowman by the end of next year. The mid-size SUV will be rolled out into their global showrooms, in 2016.The Skoda Snowman will be closely related to the Volkswagen CrossBlue concept which is also set to be launched in left-hand-drive markets next year.
Details of the Skoda Snowman are scarce right now, but reports suggest that the car will be based on Volkswagen group’s MQB architecture. The car will be a size larger than the Volkswagen Tiguan and will be available as a five-seater or a seven-seater. Skoda will offer the car in both front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions. The Snowman will be designed along Skoda’s evolving design language, which was previewed in their concept cars- the Vision C and the Vision D.
The Snowman will be built at the Skoda’s production facility in Kvasiny, Czech Republic which currently manufactures the Roomster, Yeti and the Superb. Rumours indicate that the Snowman would be the flagship SUV of the Czech company. Skoda seems to think that the car will sell only in limited numbers and reports suggest that a Seat version of the Snowman will be built on the same assembly line, to share costs.
Skoda cars have been selling quite well in its global markets, which might have given Volkswagen the courage to add a new car to the Czech car maker’s lineup. Skoda’s experiment with the Yeti, in India, hasn’t been quite successful. The pricing of the crossover puts it in a confusing territory where it doesn’t actually compete with any other SUV. But despite the lack of competition, the Yeti hasn’t attracted many buyers. If Skoda were to bring the Snowman to India, it will be necessary for them to position it properly in the market. A proper pricing strategy coupled with Skoda’s new design strategy should make the car one attractive proposition.

Storage pond sizing
Single or multiple storage ponds should be designed to hold all the effluent produced from a dairyshed, feedpad or other intensified animal areas for a specified storage period depending on the region.
The pond design should also take into account the 90th percentile rainfall entering the effluent stream that is rainfall from roofs, holding yarding and what actually falls on the pond surface.
Managing storage ponds
In some instances storage ponds may need to be extended to accommodate a longer storage capacity to suit the irrigation season. This is common in the northern catchments, which rely on the channel systems to supply water. These storage ponds are usually emptied by shandying effluent with flood irrigation water via the farm irrigation channel system. The recommended storage period therefore include the months of May to August when there is no irrigation water available for shandying.
The storage period is when effluent should be collected and stored until it can be safely re-used on pastures or crops. This period is when average rainfall exceeds average evaporation and the potential for nutrient runoff is more likely. Storage periods can range from 92 days in the northern catchments to 180 days in the high- rainfall southern catchments. An example of a storage period is illustrated in Figure 1.
In high rainfall regions additional storage months may need extending as paddocks can be too saturated to safely apply effluent. The extra storage time can reduce the likelihood of paddock pugging and pasture damage, whilst protection waterways from nutrient runoff.
Management of storage ponds should include:
- emptying prior to the storage period commencing
- desludging once the capacity is less than 50%
- reducing the potential for solids and fibrous material entering the pond
- conducting regular nutrient sampling to determine appropriate application rates
The following formula can be used to estimate the volume of effluent storage required:
V = A + B + C + D
V = Pond volume
A = Effluent produced - the amount of effluent water delivered to the storage pond during the expected storage period. This includes; plant and vat rinses, pit, platform and yard washing, cup sprays, platform sprays, teat wash and platecooler water. Note it is a preferred option that platecooler water be diverted away from the effluent ponds.
B = Stormwater from shed and yards - the amount of rainfall runoff from the milking shed roof's, yards and stock races which cannot be diverted away from the effluent system in a year of high rainfall. (90th percentile rainfall)
C = Rainfall onto pond surface -the amount of direct rainfall on to the pond in a year of high rainfall. (90 th percentile rainfall)
D = Freeboard - the volume taken up with the required 0.6 metre freeboard on the storage pond. The freeboard being an engineering safety factor.
Example calculation a storage pond
- 150 milking cows maximum in foreseeable future;
- 7200 litres/day water used in shed and on yard (based on measurement or conservative estimate);
- effluent to be stored for six months (May-October);
- total average rainfall during months of May to October is 500 mm, with the 90th percentile rainfall figure for the same time being 800 mm;
- rainfall runoff from the yard and shed surface area (200 m²) will not be diverted away from the effluent system;
- run-off from all uphill and surrounding areas will be diverted away from the storage pond.
- Storage pond volume required for a 6 month storage period: V = A + B + C + D
A: Effluent produced.
7200 litres/day x 180 days storage period = 1300 cubic metres. (Rounded off0
(Note: 1 cubic metre = 1000 litres)
B: Stormwater from shed and yards.
200 m² yard and shed surface area x 800 mm, 90th percentile rainfall = 160 cubic metres
The effluent volume thus far is:
1300 + 160 = 1460 cubic metres
To determine dimensions for the storage pond assume 2 metre depth for effluent storage, the area at mid-depth is:
Volume / Depth = Mid-depth Surface Area
1460/2 m = 730 m² = 29 m x 25 m
With batters of 2:1, the bottom dimensions would be 25 m x 21 m, and the top dimensions would be 33 m x 29 m.
C: Rainfall onto pond surface.
Add 800-mm rainfall onto fluid volume:
Add 0.6 metre freeboard to fluid volume to give the total pond volume:
The storage pond volume required for a 6 month storage period for this dairy is: V = A + B + C + D
= 1300 + 160 + 770 + 750 cubic metres
= 2980 cubic metres (approximately 3 mega-litres) with a surface area of 38.6 m x 34.6 m and a depth of 3.4 metres.
How the storage pond volume is made up:
- pond depth will be determined by the height of the water table for the proposed pond site
- internal batter slopes for the storage pond will depend on the type of pondage system
Rainfall and evaporation data for different regions is available from the Bureau of Meteorology.
Any pond sizing should be incorporated into an Effluent Management Plan, which also takes into account the ponds integration into the farm system as well as its overall management. For more information about effluent management contact your local DEDJTR office:

Even the tiniest amount of crafty time can result in a positive feeling. Case in point – A trio of tags that I made for keeping track of storage bags in our attic. These storage bags contain similar items but are only used occasionally, and the tags would be handy to figure out which one to pick items from next.
Making the tags barely took a couple of hours, since I didn’t try anything too complicated – just made half-knot spiral sennits using macramé. Even so, the happiness of hand-crafting something functional still applies. 🙂
This is how I made each tag –
I started off with a 30-cm cord and a 50-cm one. I made half-hitch knots with the longer one over the central 10cm of the shorter cord, and was left with two almost equal sized arms, each containing two cords. I used these four cords as the holding cords, and used a 90-cm cord as the working cord for the spiral stitch, which I made by making non-alternating half knots. When done with the sennit, I used E6000 to hold the cord tassels together so they don’t unravel.
Making these was a little ray of sunshine in an otherwise not-so-great weekend. I’m hoping I find tiny crafty time pockets now and then to keep my spirits soaring! 🙂
How are your crafts brightening your day?

In the course of the earth's history, the climate has changed many times. Over many tens of thousands of years, warm periods and ice ages have taken turns. Since the last ice age that came to an end about 11,000 years ago, the global temperature of the earth has steadily risen again. We currently experience a warm (or interglacial) period. Natural climate change is caused by changes in the Earth's radiation budget. The balance (ratio of reflection and absorption) between the sun's incoming energy and the Earth's heat emission determines the radiation budget. Besides the vegetative cover of the earth, the greenhouse effect is the major influence on the radiation balance as, without the greenhouse effect, the average ground temperature of the Earth would be minus 18 degrees Celsius. While the majority of the heat is radiated into space, gases which are present in the earth’s atmosphere, such as water vapour, carbon dioxide or methane, retain a portion of it by absorbing heat into their molecules and then emitting it in all directions. Due to these greenhouse gas emissions, the median temperature at the Earth's surface is plus 15 degrees Celsius.
When, today, the media and politicians speak of climate change, they mean the global warming of the air's temperature, surface and of the seas due to human (anthropogenic) influences. In contrast to natural fluctuations, the rise in the global average temperature triggered by global warming can be felt within a few decades. Since the beginning of systematic measuring of the Earth's temperature in 1880, it has increased by one degree Celsius to date. If the global community does not bring about a decisive reversal in the emission of greenhouse gases, an average rise in global temperatures of 1.8 up to four degrees Celsius is likely to occur by 2100. But even a rise in temperature of 1.8 degrees Celsius would have a massive impact and could lead to more frequent droughts, flooding and hurricanes in many regions of the world.
How do humans change the climate?
Since the industrial revolution in the late 19th century, the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have increased to such an extent that more and more heat is being retained instead of escaping into space. And so, humans have maximized the natural greenhouse effect. Between 1990 and 2012 alone, global greenhouse gas emissions have increased by 40 per cent. The 1997 Kyoto Protocol from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change counts carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N20), as well as fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), perfluorocarbons (PFC) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) among the most damaging greenhouse gases. Since 2015, nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) has been added.
CO2 is produced in large amounts through the use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas and plays the most significant part in the additional greenhouse effect. Ice core drilling verifies the concentrations of CO2 in the air over the course of the last 600,000 years, and that today’s concentration is substantially higher than ever before. The lion's share of global CO2 emissions can be traced back to the generation of electricity and heat, at 40 per cent, while traffic is responsible for 25 per cent.
A strong population growth correlated with the industrial revolution - initially in industrialized countries, later on in the emerging and less developed countries. Between 1960 and 1999, the world's population doubled and has now reached more than seven billion people (2017). In the course of this, people's use of space to settle, for traffic and agriculture at the cost of forests and other natural covers has risen dramatically. These changes have led to increased levels of greenhouse gas emissions as working the soil, among other things, speeds up the release of CO2. Healthy soils bind much more carbon than arable land or settlement areas and in so doing have a much larger influence on the concentration of greenhouse gases.
Methane occurs as a result of organic decaying processes. Besides natural sources, such as moors and permafrost (permanently frozen) soils, factory farming, in particular, is one major cause of methane emissions. Unsustainable agricultural and forest management can also be a source of methane emissions.
Effects on people and the environment
Global warming is expected to bring about melting ice, rising sea levels and an increase in storms and other extreme weather phenomena.
The Arctic is warming particularly quickly, and the air and water temperature there is rising significantly more rapidly than the global average. 40 per cent of the Arctic Sea ice has already melted, and there are fears that the Arctic Sea could already be ice-free by the summer of 2050. Temperatures in Antarctica are also rising more sharply than average, especially in West Antarctica. The Antarctic ice sheet stores about 60 per cent of the total freshwater on earth. If it were to melt entirely, it would lead to a rise in sea levels of over 50 metres. Calculations have shown that between 2002 and 2011 about five times as much ice was lost from the Antarctic landmass per year as was lost in the decade before.
The melting ice at the poles also contributes to a change in sea currents, for example, the Gulf Stream or the Humboldt Current.
But it is not just there; ice is also melting in the mountain ranges of the world: Between 1993 and 2009, the global ice mass receded by 275 billion tonnes. Even if not every receding glacier is caused by climate change, researchers also see a significant link between this and global warming. Global warming could also cause the permafrost soils of the northern continents (in particular northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland, East Siberia) to thaw. This would release large quantities of the carbon and methane stored there and exacerbate the greenhouse effect.
According to current estimates, the sea level is rising by three millimetres per year. This is approximately twice as much as at the beginning of the 20th century. In addition to meltwater from glaciers and the poles, the warming of the oceans and the resulting expansion are responsible for this. Even if limiting the rise in temperature globally to two degrees Celsius above the pre-industrialization level were successful, the research organization Climate Central estimates that 130 million people in coastal regions will suffer because of the 4.5-metre sea level rise that this would cause. A sea level rise at four degrees would be 7.4 metres and would endanger between 470 and 760 million people worldwide. These developments would show the most in China. But even in Germany, 1.3 million people would feel the impact of the rising levels.
Global warming also leads to more pronounced fluctuations in temperature and precipitation and the weather extremes connected with those. Thus, on the one hand, rainfall and torrential rain have increased; however, on the other hand so have desiccation and droughts. Heatwaves have also become more common: Since the onset of the industrial revolution, there has been a fourfold increase; at a rise in temperature of four degrees Celsius the increase would be 62-fold.
Extreme weather conditions lead to crop failures. This is expected particularly in the regions of the world that are already affected by famine anyway. Negative effects are also expected with respect to the development of global poverty. The World Bank estimates that by the year 2030, 100 million people will join those already living in extreme poverty due to the impact of global warming.
Political reactions to climate change
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – IPCC was founded as early as in 1988. This panel is a scientific body that evaluates the current status of research and presents it in reports of its own. The IPCC reports serve as a basis for international climate policy, which was institutionalized with the first UN Conference on Environment and Development (also called The Earth Summit) in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. There, the Framework Convention on Climate Change was signed which meanwhile has been ratified by all UN member states. All members are committed to report regularly on their greenhouse gas emissions and meet on an annual basis to discuss concrete measures on climate protection.
A further milestone was the agreement of the Kyoto Protocol at the third Climate Change Conference in 1997. For the first time ever, industrialized countries promised to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. An extension of the Protocol to 2020, however, failed as the number of ratifying countries was too small. Moreover, Russia, Canada, Japan and New Zealand declared their withdrawal from the Protocol.
During the COP21 (21st climate conference), the Paris Agreement, a follow-up agreement for the Kyoto Protocol was adopted that came into force just under one year later. In detail, it was agreed to keep the global rise in temperature well below two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Global greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced drastically to less than half the 1990 level by 2050 to achieve this. To make this process fair, according to the German Federal Environmental Protection Agency, the lion’s share of this must be taken on by industrialized nations, and they would have to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by 2050 (compared to 1990).
In contrast to the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement was initially also ratified by the United States. The by far largest economy in the world is, after China, the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gasses and therefore plays a key role in climate politics. Under the new political leadership, however, the United States changed its course and declared in summer 2017 its withdrawal from the Agreement. This decision to withdraw is controversial in the US political landscape —several federal states have joined forces and have announced that they will continue to adhere to the Agreement. Growing concerns that other countries would imitate the withdrawal of the United States and thus endanger the entire Agreement were unfounded when states parties jointly negotiated with each other on concrete instruments for the implementation of the Agreement at the COP23 in Bonn. At the summit, 20 countries joined an anti-coal alliance and declared that they would abandon the production of electricity from coal-fired power stations by 2030. It is planned that the final decisions on the concrete implementation of the Paris climate agreement will be taken in 2018 in Katowice (Poland).
Criticism of the climate talks
Since the beginning of the climate talks in the early 1990s, global CO2 emissions have continued to increase by more than 50 per cent. There is a marked discrepancy between objectives put down on paper and objectives that have actually been achieved. There is also a major imbalance in the contribution of burdens and costs. While the consequences of climate change are on a global scale, those most responsible for it are industrialized and emerging countries that continue to use fossil fuels. Small island states in the Pacific Ocean are already suffering hugely from the effects of climate change—entire groups of islands will be uninhabitable in the future. From the point of view of the affected island states, the agreements do not go far enough; they demand much more stringent rules for the scaling-down of the greenhouse gas emissions as well as for fair rules for the distribution of incurring costs.
Besides the question of climate justice, various environmental groups and academics query the basic assumption of the UN negotiations that continued economic growth with less natural resource consumption will lead to a solution of the problems. They criticize that the focus is on purely technological solutions and economic mechanisms and that alternative concepts and ideas that may be critical of economic growth are not taken into consideration.
The challenges brought about by climate change are therefore twofold: Its extent must be limited by climate protection, and the already unavoidable effects overcome by adaptation. The necessary measures for this are, however, expensive: The World Bank has calculated that even containing global warming to two degrees Celsius per year, 70 to 100 billion euro will still be required to fight the impacts that have already occurred.

NEW HAVEN -- The second of two planned meetings saw another at-capacity crowd at Nathan Hale Elementary Thursday night after the room was packed on Wednesday.
Angry neighbors clashed with airport officials from Tweed New Haven Airport over a plan to expand the airport's primary runway from 5,600 feet to 6,100 feet.
"We're not expanding the airport beyond our fence line," said Tim Larson, executive director of Tweed New Haven Airport. "We're simply taking what's currently out there and paving one end, and half of the other to accommodate this commercial air service which will be scheduled and appropriate."
The airport would pave over an unoccupied grassy "safety zone" on either side of the runway to achieve its desired length.
At the informational meeting, airport administrators touted the economic benefits of the expansion, saying it would help the area and make the airport less reliant on taxpayer subsidies. Expanding the runway would also allow the airport to grow its current offering of commercial flights from four daily flights to Philadelphia, to a planned 25 to destinations including Chicago, Washington and Florida.
Neighbors who live within earshot of the runway weren't pleased with the plan. "The big part is the noise, the quality of life, the pollution, the traffic, the kids walking to the street," said Margaret Wheeler, a neighbor. "This is a school area, it's a state park at the end of the road with beaches."
Neighbors were also worried about the land value on their homes, which they claimed would take a major hit.
The plan would still need approval from state lawmakers. In 2009, the airport entered into an agreement with the town of East Haven saying it would cap its runway length at 5,600 feet. The agreement became a state law and would have to be amended in order for the proposal to move forward.
Neighbors say they're going to continue their fight, but Larson said neighbors would barely see a difference if the changes went through. "We need to do a better job demonstrating and getting them comfortable, that this is going to be a clean, safe, operation."

February is coming to a close. Little wonder as it is the shortest month of the year. But even with it’s brevity, February packs quite a punch. Between the holidays and the observances, this 28 day month is very busy! Valentine’s Day, Groundhog Day, President’s Day, American Heart Month, and Black History Month. And while those other observances are fun and interesting and historically important, it is Black History Month that stands out to me.
Black History Month holds the opportunity to learn more about my ancestry and history. Each February I learn a bit more about extraordinary men and women who accomplished so much in their lives yet, little are known about them. For example I did not know that it was Carter G. Woodson who created Black History Month which originated in 1926. He created it to celebrate achievements, births, important timelines, events and to remember those we lost. Or that William Carney was the first black U.S. soldier to earn the Presidential Medal of Honor.
And here is something else that I learned just recently. Madam CJ Walker was the first African-American woman who became a self-made millionaire! Not only that, one could say that she started the type of business that direct selling companies like Avon, Mary Kay and Tupperware would later pattern themselves after. She not only made a successful business for herself but also showed other women how to empower themselves in the same way. Moreover her struggle led the way for people like Paul Innis to become the premier make-up artist for Avon and for the opportunity for me to be my own boss.
Click on the the image for a quick biography video.
So to Carter Woodson, William Carney, Madam CJ Walker and those countless others who came before me, thank you. February may be the shortest month, but the days it holds are and will continue to be memorable.

E Design: A true collaboration between designer and client. Affordable, Flexible and Quick!
The new wave in interior design, is online interior design. If you are interested in home design, love a good flick through all the latest magazines but don’t know where to start and don’t want to hire a traditional interior designer then E Design could well be for you.
So…what is this E-Design all about?
E design is a relatively new concept, it’s exactly what it sounds like, virtual decorating, online interior design. A collaborative process between you and your designer, you guessed it, all online. We do everything online, right? We food shop, clothes shop, furniture shop, book travel, we even watch the telly online. So why not hire an interior designer online?
Hands up who doesn’t want to have a beautiful, comfortable home? Maybe you have toyed with the idea of getting professional help and calling in an Interior Designer? But something is holding you back, too expensive, too time consuming, too intrusive. Maybe you like the idea but don’t want someone in your home and you like to be a bit involved in the decorating process, don’t mind getting your paint brush out and love shopping for products.
So, what happens when you do decide to hire an E-designer? The beauty of E-Designers is that we are all different, depending on what you need. You may only want a design concept board and product list, or maybe you just need a furniture floorplan for that awkward space. You may even, just want to see what that extension, you have been dreaming of, on the side of your house, would look like in 3d before you hire an architect and get the builders in!
After you make initial contact, have an email chat with your friendly designer and have decided on what you want and of course on a realistic budget, the process begins…
Just because it’s online doesn’t mean it is not a collaborative process! Your designer will want to find out as much about your style as possible, all the things you love and don’t love in a home. How you decorate your home now and what aspirations you have for the new space. Completing a detailed style or function questionnaire or quiz will help your designer get a better understanding of you and your home’s personality. So, you will need to answer questions on colour preferences, types of furniture, flooring, interior styles, furniture you want to keep and even where you normally shop etc..
Your designer will want to get an idea of what your aspirations are, regarding your new space and will ask you to choose some images of the types of styles you love. Collaborating on Pinterest is a great and easy way to show your designer the kind of spaces that you love. If you don’t have Pinterest, don’t fret, emailing images will work just as well.
Measuring your space
As your e-designer, is sitting in the comfort of their own home and can’t quite reach to measure your space, you will be asked to do it! Don’t worry your designer will give you instructions on how to measure correctly.
Why measure? In order to make sure the furniture fits, your designer will need to know the size of your room or rooms so they can make a furniture plan for you. A couple of images or a quick video of your home and a rough sketch of the room also helps the designer get a feel of your existing space.
Getting to work
Next, it's over to the designer to get working on transforming your space. As E-designers spend far too much time on the net, browsing for products, they know all the fancy shops to be able to bring your unique design together! They will create a gorgeous design board, using all the information you have given, called a shoppable concept board or mood board, with all the items required for the room. If you have multiple rooms your designer will make sure there is a beautiful flow between each room, creating, a seamless cohesive look.
See below example concept boards using housecosy gorgeous products.
Sometimes, depending on the service you have chosen, the designer is able to create, a photoshop 3D render of your room, this shows you how your space could look with the products and colours together.
Your design is then all packaged up into a beautiful, professional presentation with your unique design, finishes, floor plans, renders, installation instructions and an individual product list that are all clickable, taking you to each item’s store details. What more could you want? All that is left, is for you, to fill those baskets and have fun putting your designed space together.
E design allows access to an affordable, simple, fun, flexible, collaborative process between you and your e-designer, creating beautiful spaces for you to enjoy and your friends to be envious of!!

In the first few days after birth, your breasts may change in shape. They may feel heavy and firm, even hard and lumpy. At this time, it is vital to establish a regular feeding cycle to minimise engorgement.
What should I wear?
Once lactation has started, it is important that your bra is not too tight as this can put pressure on your milk ducts and lead to mastitis.
Underwire bras are not recommended.
What should I do to keep my breasts healthy?
- Always wash your hands before breastfeeding. There is no need to wash the breasts or nipples.
- Avoid soap, alcohol based products or creams on your breasts or nipples.
- Change nursing pads with each feed or when moist.
- Avoid using plastic-backed nursing pads as they can help bacteria accumulate as a result of not enough air flow getting to breasts and nipples.
What can I do to avoid nipple damage?
- The best prevention of nipple damage is correct attachment. Ensure correct attachment at all feeds.
- Try different feeding positions.
- Observe the shape of your nipple after each feed. Changes, such as pinching or blanching, can be a sign of poor attachment and if left untreated can lead to nipple damage.
- Allow breastmilk to dry on your nipples as it has antibacterial and healing properties.
I am experiencing pain, what should I do?
You should not experience a pinching pain when breastfeeding, however if you do this may be a sign of poor attachment. If you do start to feel pain, detach your baby from your breast and try again.
If pain persists, speak to your midwife or your local child health nurse for advice.
If you experience pain in your breasts when you are not feeding, you can take a mild painkiller for relief, but please see your family doctor if the pain lingers.

Young stars take part in 'Under Pressure' challenge
Academy players from Yorkshire Carnegie and Wasps were in the spotlight during the interval of Wasps’ Heineken Champions Cup clash with Leinster Rugby last week as part of a unique challenge.
The players, aged between 17 and 21, went head-to-head in a range of ‘Under Pressure’ challenges designed to test their nerve in front of the masses at Ricoh Arena.
The challenge included a goal-kicking time trial, in which players attempted to be the fastest to score from six spots on the 22-metre line, with a five second penalty for each missed attempt. Players also competed in a tug of war and a timed Land Rover push and Wasps players won this test, but Yorkshire Carnegie came out on top in the other challenges. Lewis Wilson, Adam Brown, Ben Carlile and Steele Barker won the line out race. Joe Carpenter won the high ball catch and return and Dan Lancaster was the goal kick champion.

Background: Obesity is a worldwide public health issue, reaching epidemic condition in developing countries associated to chronic diseases. Oxidative damage is another side effect of obesity. Antioxidant activity from plant components regulates at some extent this imbalance. Main goal of the present study was to determine the antioxidant activity and protection against oxidative-induced damage of Acacia shaffneri (AS) and Acacia farnesiana (AF) pods extracts.
Methods: To evaluated antioxidant activity and radical scavenging capacity of AS and AF extracts, two experiments were performed: 1) pods extracts were challenged against H2O2 using kidney cells in an in vitro assay; and 2) (Meriones unguiculatus) was employed in an in vivo assay to observe the effect of pods extracts on scavenging properties in plasma.
Results: Both pods extracts presented an important protective effect on radical scavenging capacity against ABTS• + and DPPH(+), and also in TBARS formation in vitro. Vegetal pods extracts did not induce any pro-oxidative effect when added to kidney cells in DMEM. Cells damage in DMEM with addition of H2O2 was significantly higher than those when vegetal pods extracts were added at 50 (P < 0.05) or 200 ppm (P < 0.001). Plasma scavenging properties presented an important dose-dependent positive effect in those groups where pods extracts were administered.
Conclusions: The antioxidant protection of the acacia pods extracts reported in this study suggests the possible transference of antioxidant components and protective effects to animal products (milk, meat, and by-products) from Acacia pods when this vegetation is included in the diet. In order to evaluate, the possible transference of theirs antioxidant components to animal products, the incorporation of these non-conventional resources to ruminant feeding is a good opportunity of study. Profiling of Acacia farnesiana pods extract is necessary to identify the responsible bioactive compounds of protective properties.

[Coco] FD-50X series power supplies

Thu Oct 29 05:47:34 EDT 2009
The FD-501 & 502 were a little under rated in that Radio Shack installed a
fan with the dual disk drive installations. It appears to be more of a
cooling issue than a part rating issue though. I have used CPU fans from
dead PCs instead of Radio Shack's can motor kludge.
In short, I have not seen a disk drive power supply fail from normal use. I
have even bypassed the transformer and plugged in to the truck's "12 volts"
without any problems.

Saturday night I watched an hour-long performance by Radiohead on Austin City Limits. It’s the second such hour-long televised performance I’ve watched by the band on PBS. A couple of years ago I saw some performance of them in a studio. In both cases, I was interested enough to keep watching, but despite being impressed by their arsenal of avant-garde touches; instrument juggling; and obscure and cool gear as well as the maximum effort that all the band members put into their music, I got very little out of the experience of trying to listen to and feel the music. It added up to a whole lot of nothing.
Surely, I’ve been missing something.
I’ve bought 3 Radiohead songs for my iPod: “High and Dry,” “No Surprises,” and “The National Anthem.” I like those songs a lot. They played none of those songs on the recent Austin City Limits. In fact, I guess they were playing a lot of obscure numbers, because Thom Yorke kind of apologized about playing so many songs that only diehard fans might recognize. Then, at the end of the show, he announced that they were finally going to play a song everyone would know, “Paranoid Android,” I think it was called. I was aware of this song, and whenever they played the big, King Crimson-like guitar riff I recalled having heard it before, but other than a couple of flashes of heaviosity the song sounded no more or less memorable than all the B-sides that had preceded it.
The crowd went wild for Radiohead. I know they’re popular and have achieved legendary status. Again, I think it’s really cool that they’ve achieved this by playing music that I can’t imagine many people would actually listen to if it wasn’t being played by Radiohead. Something about the band pulls them in. It’s got to be the power of the people who play that music, because—again—there’s little that’s objectively catchy and capable of casting a broad appeal if you can separate their music from their performance. Is there?
Their performance of this Can-influenced (from what I can tell) music is what makes it click. Yorke’s got that beneficent Gollum thing going for him. He’s working his ass off as he sings those awkward melodies, plays guitar and keyboards, then goes into one of his elfin spazz dances. Seriously, the guy earns his stripes as a front man. Without Yorke, Radiohead would be flat-out Science Rock for pipe-smoking dudes only, like ’70s King Crimson. He gives them that broad-based appeal that Jon Anderson gave Yes, while the musicians were wanking off on 15-minutes suites. He’s the bridge to The People. I got little pleasure out of Yorke’s performance, but I totally respect him as a dynamo. Also, for a lead singer who often straps on a guitar, he displays great taste in gear and rarely if ever holsters!
I guess the next most-important band member in terms of Rock Superpowers is Jonny Greenwood, the multi-instrumentalist with the long forelock. He must be the Professor of the band. When he’s not holding his guitar at odd angles he’s hunched over some 1920s precursor to the theremin or on his hands and knees, twiddling the knobs on some Heathkit wave generator. Very Scientific! The slender build, eternally youthful looks, and the forelock probably draw in the band’s share of the ladies as much as Yorke’s Friendly Neighborhood Gollum persona.
Did I mention the women in the audience at this Radiohead show? It must have been 65% women! Cute women, too, not the female equivalent of dudes from the ’70s who scoured record bins for used Sopwith Camel albums. They were dancing. They sang along with every shriek that came out of Yorke’s mouth. How did they know what he was singing? It was rare I could make out the words in any one of his cri de coeur. It was hard enough determining the melodies he dropped in between the band’s blips and bleats.
The band’s other guitarist, Ed O’Brien, is the glue guy. Except for an occasional stint on some snare drums (the 3 front-line musicians: O’Brien, Yorke, and Jonny Greenwood seem to feel the band’s 2 drummers are not enough—or maybe they’re just big fans of Public Image Ltd’s The Flowers of Romance and want to get their tom-tom beats on), O’Brien is a meat-and-potatoes guitarist and background singer. When all hell is breaking loose, O’Brien and bassist Colin Greenwood are holding down the fort.
I enjoyed watching bassist Colin Greenwood during the ACL performance, as he stationed himself between the band’s 2 bald, matching drummers. He’s one of those studious bassist’s bassist type, keeping his body turned toward one of the drummers, away from the audience. I can’t really identify with bassist’s bassists, but I’m glad they’re still out there.
The drummers were good, too: very studious, jazzy, flexible, inventive…and equally bald and clad in black clothing. Nice touch! Up and down, the band clearly pays attention to detail. I like that about them. In fact, I truly admire it. I just don’t get a kick out of many of their songs. Maybe I need to revisit some album tracks, maybe Yorke was right to apologize for playing so many B-sides. Are there 5 other Radiohead songs I might be able to download and enjoy as much as the 3 songs currently in my collection?
I look forward to your suggestions.
