Leading European data center automates monitoring and reports with ABB Decathlon
2013-11-11 - Switzerland is renowned for the precision of its technology, and greenDatacenter Zurich West near Zurich is a prized example of that precision.
By ABB Communications
An advanced data center infrastructure management system ensures maximum reliability, energy efficiency and optimal utilization of all assets at the greenDatacenter Zurich-West facility in Switzerland
As the country’s newest, largest and most advanced Tier III data center serving companies around the world, it is positioned at the forefront of European data centers in terms of price, location, security, flexibility and range of services. With its commitment to implementing the most advanced, accurate and flexible technology, Green has chosen to install ABB Decathlon®
Version 3 for its DCIM (data center infrastructure management) solution.
In 2012, the greenDatacenter Zurich West facility became a showcase for direct-current technology when ABB created a DC power distribution system that made the facility the world’s most powerful DC data center. The recently completed implementation makes ABB Decathlon the primary data center automation solution at Green, precisely monitoring the building management and electrical power systems, presenting views of all these mechanical and electrical systems on a screen. Additionally, ABB has deployed its Decathlon Command Center Extended Operator Workplace, enabling one operator at the Green data center to oversee and manage the entire data center operations.
As a result of its increased visibility across the whole operation, Green now has the capability to obtain automated reports on colocation chargebacks, power usage effectiveness, environmental status, pre-billing and service-level agreement compliance, along with thermal mapping, and visualization of floor plans — all in real time and through a single interface.
Previously, operators needed to gather the data for these reports manually and calculate them by hand or collate them from many different systems and sources, a labor-intensive task with inherent lag-time in reporting. With Decathlon Version 3, complete, up-to-the-second and accurate information is now available instantly for viewing or reporting over any period of time.
“Green is using key elements of the Decathlon system to manage one of the most modern and dynamic data centers in Europe” – 451 Group report
In a recent report, 451 Research named advanced data-center infrastructure management (DCIM), like that provided by ABB Decathlon, one of the 10 “disruptive” technologies driving a wave of change in data centers. It noted that DCIM is “likely to be a critical enabling technology for many other disruptive technologies, such as dynamic workload management, cloud-level resiliency and power-proportional computing.”
‘Modern and dynamic’
A separate report by 451 Group specifically looked at the application at greenDatacenter Zurich West and observed, “Decathlon is a function-rich suite, spanning enterprise energy management to power quality management. Green is using key elements of the Decathlon system to manage one of the most modern and dynamic data centers in Europe.”
Indeed, the greenDatacenter Zurich West has become a focal point for disruptive technology, both in its use of DC and its application of Decathlon. Its parent company, Green Datacenter AG now intends to deploy Decathlon at other data centers it owns and operates. ABB already has basic power monitoring in place at other Green facilities in the Zurich region and is working to advance those centers to the same level as Zurich West.

South Carolina legal scion Alex Murdaugh called police to report that he had arrived home on the night of June 7 to find his wife Maggie, 52, and son Paul, 22, dead on their sprawling Colleton County hunting compound.
Within moments of the first sheriff’s deputy arriving at the crime scene, Murdaugh told the officer about a boat crash that occurred more than two years earlier. He said he’d been getting threats about the incident.
Bodycam Video Shows Murdaugh Brought Up His Son’s Boat Crash As Soon As Cops Arrived
In court on Thursday, jurors saw the panicked 911 call Alex Murdaugh made to police after finding his son and wife dead. The heir to a South Carolina legal dynasty was on trial for their murders.
He brought up the boat crash as soon as the cops arrived, according to bodycam video played for the jury. It showed Murdaugh wiping his eyes as he rocked back and forth.
When Deputy Greene walked up to the scene, he was immediately told by Mr Murdaugh that there had been a boat crash in 2019. The incident had caused a lot of tensions in the family’s small community.
“I’ve been thinking about that boating accident and what happened,” Murdaugh tells the officer. He says he had been talking to someone who was on the boat the night of the crash about what happened, and that the victim was his son.
He also said that he had been having a ‘bonding experience’ with Paul just hours before the killings. And he claimed that the family were being threatened by a man who was going to kill Paul so that he could get a $10 million life insurance policy.
Bodycam Video Shows Murdaugh Tells Deputy Greene He’d Been Napping
Murdaugh’s comments to police about his whereabouts around the time of the murders may not have been accurate, according to prosecutors Friday. A bodycam video showed Murdaugh telling Deputy Greene he’d been napping when the officer asked where he’d been the night before.
The audio of the 911 call played in court Thursday also contradicted Murdaugh’s statement to dispatchers. He said he’d last talked to his wife about two hours before she and their son were killed.
But prosecutors have cell phone evidence that puts Murdaugh at the crime scene much closer to the victims than he told dispatchers. A video shot by Murdaugh’s son Paul minutes before he was killed — according to cellphone data – had the voices of both of his parents and his brother on it, prosecutors say.
And a state agent who specializes in analyzing cellphone data reconstructed a flurry of activity on Maggie Murdaugh’s iPhone at 8:49 p.m. – including the display changing from portrait to landscape and back several times and a camera turning on for one second – all in the moments before her phone was found on the side of a road about half a mile from the family’s property.
Prosecutors have accused the disgraced attorney of killing his wife and son to distract attention from a series of alleged financial crimes. But Murdaugh’s lawyer, Mark Harpootlian, insists he’s innocent and that jurors will see a Snapchat showing him and his son Paul enjoying their father-and-son bonding time just two hours before the killings.
Bodycam Video Shows Murdaugh Tells Deputy Greene He’d Been Visiting His Mother
In body camera footage of Deputy Greene’s interaction with Murdaugh, the disgraced lawyer tells the officer that he’d been visiting his mother and arrived home to find her dead along with their son. The video is played on monitors in the courtroom, but visitors could not see it because prosecutors kept the galleries closed for their testimony Thursday.
Defense attorneys Jim Griffin and Dick Harpootlian occasionally held a cardboard box lid in front of the monitor, shielding their client from having to see the video. They said it was a way to protect their client and ensure that the public would not be exposed to evidence that may have been destroyed.
Harpootlian also grilled Greene about his failure to indicate possible tire tracks to state crime scene agents. He testified that he did not know any officers went into a feed room behind Paul Murdaugh’s body, but that it was his job to secure the scene and preserve evidence.
Harpootlian also asked Greene why he didn’t put anything on his feet to preserve blood and brains spattered on the ground, saying he didn’t think that would be dangerous. He also testified that he didn’t take photos of the scene to preserve any possible clues.

Designed by Richard Sapper 1983
Alessi, founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi in Valle Strona in the Italian Alps an area famed for the making of small wooden and metal kitchenware. He was succeeded by his son, Carlo, a trained industrial designer, who between 1935 and 1945 developed virtually all Alessi products. In 1955 Carlo’s brother, Ettore, introduced the idea of collaboration with external designers.
In 1970 Alberto Alessi led the company and over the next fifteen plus years worked to great success with well known designers including Achille Castiglione (“Dry” cutlery set 1982), Richard Sapper (“Bollitore” kettle 1983), Michael Graves (“Bird Whistle” kettle 1995) and Phillipe Starck (“Juicy Salif” 1990 – see The Gallery).
My particular favourite of this era is Sapper’s 9091 ” Bollitore”kettle, Alessi’s first designer kettle. Its brass “nose” produces a short and pleasant melody as steam exits announcing that the water is boiling that was consistent with Sapper’s intention to avoid the usual stressful scream of a kettle. In so doing he created, what Alessi call, a “multi-sensory object for the kitchen”.
From the 1990s onward designer objects – usual house-hold objects were bestowed with the detailed attention of great designers becoming a core and expanding part of the Alessi offer increasingly working with more malleable materials, such as plastics.
It’s little wonder that many Alessi products are displayed in the product design sections of museums such as Museum of Modern Art New York, Victoria and Albert Museum (London) and the Pompidou Centre (Paris).
My pal gave me one of these beautiful kettles after I so admired his version at his Chelsea apartment in London in the late 1980’s. It is solidly built, full of grace, quality and humour.

Whitetail deer are the most prevalent big game animal in North America. They ranges from Mexico north all a good way to central Canada, and are readily available throughout vast majority of this yardage. Their habitat varies from thick forests and swamps, to open prairies and mountain sides. The size of a big buck is different from region to region and could weigh any where from about 120 pounds in the south to up to 350 pounds or more in the northern USA and features of Canada. It isn’t particularly large-boned but is very tenacious, therefore if not hit in the most beneficial spot, while using right bullet, from house cartridge, it can quickly break free of. The varied terrain where it lives, and primary in it’s physical size, can create some confusion about which firearm action, cartridges and bullets choose from.
At a single during the battle, I used to call FDC during the land queue. It was old. It had been working earlier when I talked these. They had tried to call a fire mission to us. I’d answered the horn. They started calling out the fire mission. I said, “we don’t here are a few direction, charge, or elevation, we can see them.” Looking back now I realize I should have told these types of get their butts out there to help us.
Hunting equipment should incorporate a knife, as it is very put to use in any special occasion. Hunters use deer stands or tree stands to enjoy a proper view of the animals. These deer stands are with an elevated position so spot . to have a good view of the vistas. You have to be aware you don’t fall off in excitement. You have to start preparing for the hunting trip by first marking the area where 410 ammo need to to hunt. You can buy good maps and topographic quadrangles of determine what kinds of. Practice with the weapon your going to make with your entire family. Make sure 30 carbine ammo are accurate with using that weapon. Again, don’t forget to wear orange. Activity . reach wounds where hunt for to hunt, be extremely quiet because even the movement of paper will distract the deer they will turn tail and run.
Lower plasma energy: The majority the plasma weapons in Halo 4 use much more energy than their Halo Reach counterparts. The plasma pistol is amongst the weapons most affected by this change; both single and overcharged shots consume much more energy. Conserve energy by charging the plasma pistol as little as possible before shooting. Even if you do this, you will surely have to swap for just a fresh plasma pistol nearly in Halo 4 trailer than in Halo Discover.
Shotgun Class: In my opinion, the shotgun class is the rusher’s training. Both shotguns are good depending on your preferences. When you’ve got a good aim then choose W1200. If it is not necessary such a fine aim as you would choose W1200, however, you still are wonderful at hitting with 2-4 shots, then select the M1014. As secondary weapon choose the Colt.45 as well as a smoke grenade as you are able to rush and plant the bomb in the bomb planting game-types. The perks should be: Bomb Squad as you need to understand if will be the major any claymores or C4 on the enemy territory, sleight of hand to reload faster or UAV jammer to aid you to be undetectable on the enemy radar while their UAV has risen and extreme conditioning so you can rush much better than everybody and surprise the enemy.
The two paths converge a short ways ahead of when the core, causing with one last fight. Walk up the ramp well before you an individual will the number of Promethean crates from an individual can restock on light rifle ammo. Just past these crates, three elites (one with a fuel rod) are fighting a laser turret and three knights (one by using a binary rifle). These enemies will usually not kill each other, a person will do do majority of the carry out. The elites will have their own backs ventured into you, so take this chance to stun and get rid of the fuel rod general because is focused upon the Prometheans. You are usually able to easily finish of the opposite two elites with two more plasma pistol and lightweight rifle combinations.
Ghost: The Ghost barely changed between Halo Reach and Halo 4 trailer. As before, stand it cover up to the driver approaches you, then stun and jack the Ghost as part of your plasma gun.
Everyone has something to complain about when talking of other unites that I am aware for a regular occurance it basically how it is going and it’s impossible to do a specific thing to transform. Every unit thinks theyrrrve better then someone else , but what they do not know is any time the time come with it they could possibly best thing that goes wrong with you weather you realise it or not necessarily.

Arctic Griddle Production Starting Soon!!
We have many customers asking for weekly updates regarding our production status. Unfortunately, our schedule slipped several more months as we worked to get our unit through an initial UL certification design review with our 3rd party certifying lab Intertek/ETL. We are now rescheduling the start of production for mid-September. Assuming no new issues with our vendors delivering parts on time, we will begin production as soon as our first batch of parts start showing up. However, the full UL/NSF certification could still take months to obtain as it is a very slow and paperwork intensive process.
Sep 11, 2018 • Posted by Randy Jon King
It’s worth the wait! Being an inventor myself, (with a patent even) I understand the hitch in your giddy-up, so to speak. I had to deal with production in China, which was a total nightmare. I learned a lot about China, and the American consumer, in the process. I support you 100%. My daughter is involved with the start-up of our ice cream business. She talked me out of a counter culture thing (Roll Another One). Going back to a more family oriented theme. We need a machine or two to practice with. Thanks, Folks!

League cricket in Yorkshire will get an exciting new-look in 2016 with the creation of Yorkshire Premier Cricket.
It will feature four premier leagues which will all have partner leagues beneath them as the first steps are taken towards creating a Yorkshire pyramid for club cricket. There will be promotion and relegation throughout.
It aims to have the top players and teams playing on the finest grounds in a competition that will showcase the best of league cricket in Yorkshire.
Talks are ongoing with further leagues to join the pyramids for Yorkshire League South, Yorkshire League North and the Bradford League
The Yorkshire Premier Cricket board will oversee the new structure. It will feature two representatives from each of the premier leagues plus Yorkshire Chief Executive Mark Arthur and Yorkshire Cricket Board Executive Director for Partnerships Andrew Watson who are the architects of the new initiative.
Arthur said: “It is right and proper that Yorkshire, as the largest and most successful cricketing county, has a pyramid structure that will enable the best club players to play against each other on a regular basis in the most competitive league structure in the country. From 2016 onwards, there will be no argument as to which club is the best in Yorkshire.”
Watson, who has been a key figure in all the negotiations, said: “After many months of planning and consultation, we are at a most exciting time for league cricket in Yorkshire, but still keeping its history and tradition. League cricket in Yorkshire is woven into the fabric of everyday life and this will enhance it for decades to come.”
The chairman of the Yorkshire Premier Cricket Board, Bradford League Development Officer Alan Birkinshaw said: “A considerable amount of time and effort has gone into the project and we believe it provides the opportunity for the aspirational clubs and players to play at the highest level of eague cricket in Yorkshire.
“It has taken a lot of hard work and co-operation from the leagues involved to create the new set up and we are fully aware that there is a lot more to be done.
“Yorkshire Premier Cricket is the peak of the Yorkshire Pyramid and now there has to be further discussions with the many other leagues across the county as we seek to extend it.
“Nobody will be compelled to join the structure but we hope that leagues and their clubs will see the benefits of having a structure where a small club with big ambitions can have a clear pathway to the top.”
The top team in each of the premier leagues will feature in the end-of-season Champion of Champion play offs. The semi-finals are expected to be held at Scarborough and Headingley with the final to take place in Abu Dhabi in October 2016.
Currently there are two premier leagues operating in England’s largest county, the North Yorkshire South Durham League and the Yorkshire League.
Under the new structure the Yorkshire League will be split into two to form Yorkshire League North and Yorkshire League South.
The North Yorkshire South Durham League will remain unchanged. The fourth place will be filled by the Bradford League which is in the process of securing ECB premier league status.
Yorkshire League North will feature seven members of the old Yorkshire League, York, Scarborough, Harrogate, Hull, Castleford, Driffield and the Yorkshire Academy who will be joined by five teams from its partner league, the York Senior League’.
Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield Collegiate, Sheffield United, Doncaster, Cleethorpes and Appleby Frodingham from the Yorkshire League will be joined by three teams from their partner league, the South Yorkshire League and two from the Central Yorkshire League.
The Bradford League will be at the pinnacle of the pyramid in West Yorkshire where the Central Yorkshire League has voted to be partner league.

Three weeks ago, I attacked Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for his continuing refusal to fact-check ads from politicians, even in demonstrably false paid posts.
Thursday night, Sacha Baron Cohen (who I recently praised for his non-comedic acting in the Netflix series “The Spy”) gave a speech to the Anti-Defamation League in which he also took to task Facebook and other social media platforms as enablers for the spread of lies, misinformation, and hatred. An excerpt:
Today around the world, demagogues appeal to our worst instincts. Conspiracy theories once confined to the fringe are going mainstream. It’s as if the Age of Reason – the era of evidential argument – is ending, and now knowledge is delegitimized and scientific consensus is dismissed. Democracy, which depends on shared truths, is in retreat, and autocracy, which depends on shared lies, is on the march. Hate crimes are surging, as are murderous attacks on religious and ethnic minorities.
What do all these dangerous trends have in common? I’m just a comedian and an actor, not a scholar. But one thing is pretty clear to me. All this hate and violence is being facilitated by a handful of internet companies that amount to the greatest propaganda machine in history.
The greatest propaganda machine in history.
Think about it. Facebook, YouTube and Google, Twitter and others – they reach billions of people. The algorithms these platforms depend on deliberately amplify the type of content that keeps users engaged – stories that appeal to our baser instincts and that trigger outrage and fear. It’s why YouTube recommended videos by the conspiracist Alex Jones billions of times. It’s why fake news outperforms real news, because studies show that lies spread faster than truth. And it’s no surprise that the greatest propaganda machine in history has spread the oldest conspiracy theory in history – the lie that Jews are somehow dangerous. As one headline put it, “Just Think What Goebbels Could Have Done with Facebook.”
On the internet, everything can appear equally legitimate. Breitbart resembles the BBC. The fictitious Protocols of the Elders of Zion look as valid as an ADL report. And the rantings of a lunatic seem as credible as the findings of a Nobel prize winner. We have lost, it seems, a shared sense of the basic facts upon which democracy depends.
The Guardian has reprinted Sacha Baron Cohen’s speech in full. It is well worth your time.

An Observational Estimate of the Direct Response of the Cold-Season Atmospheric Circulation to the Arctic Sea Ice Loss
Amélie Simon, Claude Frankignoul, Guillaume Gastineau, and Young-Oh Kwon
Journal of Climate, 33(9), 3863-3882
The direct response of the cold-season atmospheric circulation to the Arctic sea ice loss is estimated from observed sea ice concentration (SIC) and an atmospheric reanalysis, assuming that the atmospheric response to the long-term sea ice loss is the same as that to interannual pan-Arctic SIC fluctuations with identical spatial patterns. No large-scale relationship with previous interannual SIC fluctuations is found in October and November, but a negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)/Arctic Oscillation follows the pan-Arctic SIC fluctuations from December to March. The signal is field significant in the stratosphere in December, and in the troposphere and tropopause thereafter. However, multiple regressions indicate that the stratospheric December signal is largely due to concomitant Siberian snow-cover anomalies. On the other hand, the tropospheric January–March NAO signals can be unambiguously attributed to SIC variability, with an Iceland high approaching 45 m at 500 hPa, a 2°C surface air warming in northeastern Canada, and a modulation of blocking activity in the North Atlantic sector. In March, a 1°C northern Europe cooling is also attributed to SIC. An SIC impact on the warm Arctic–cold Eurasia pattern is only found in February in relation to January SIC. Extrapolating the most robust results suggests that, in the absence of other forcings, the SIC loss between 1979 and 2016 would have induced a 2°–3°C decade−1 winter warming in northeastern North America and a 40–60 m decade−1 increase in the height of the Iceland high, if linearity and perpetual winter conditions could be assumed.

Vienna under the Nazi-Regime (1938 to 1945) - History of Vienna
At the time Austria was practically surrounded by fascist countries in the shape of Germany and Italy. Austria found it increasingly difficult to withstand both the political and the economic pressure. In March 1938, the "Anschluß" was effected and Austria became part of Hitler Germany. During his first visit to the Vienna Town Hall, Adolf Hitler commented that it was imperative to provide the right setting to this "jewel in the crown". However, his policies proved devastating not only for Europe and the world at large, but also for Austria and Vienna. Anti-Semitism, which had been widespread in Vienna for many centuries and had become more prevalent since the turn of the century, eventually combined with the Nazi policy of what ultimately proved to be Jewish extermination. In November 1938 the city's synagogues, the very points of crystallisation of the religious and social life of Vienna's Jewry, fell prey to the destructive fury of a single night's rampaging, in the "pogroms of November" (Reichskristallnacht).
As early as October 1938 the city had seen a tremendous extension of its territory, following the example of Greater Hamburg. 97 Lower Austrian communities were incorporated into Vienna. The number of urban districts increased from 21 to 26. The extension cut deep into the Lower Austrian territory, in all directions, and, at the end of the day, the urban area had tripled. This was the kind of city that experienced the Second World War, which, unlike the earlier war of 1914 to 1918, directly and brutally affected the city and its residents. From 1943 the city suffered repeated Allied bombing. When the war was brought to an end in April 1945 fighting was going on in the very heart of the city.

Qatar using false allegations as a weapon in UN court case
ICJ asked to take a stand after Qatar is caught 'red-handed' obstructing the UAE
Qatar has exploited accusations of modern-day racism against the UAE as a weapon that has a powerful impact in a world dominated by social media, the United Nations' highest court was told on Thursday.
On the third day of hearings into fabrications and obstructions used by Qatar to frustrate UAE compliance with the International Court of Justice, lawyers asked judges to provide protection from the damage wrought by Doha.
Robert Volterra, presenting the UAE case, said that "real and continuing" injury from the "fabrication of evidence" under the Convention for Elimination of Racial Discrimination (Cerd) required the intervention of the ICJ.
"Make no mistake, this is a weapon," he said.
Such was the ferocity and intensity of the Qatari campaign that another senior lawyer, Professor Michael Reisman of Yale Law School, warned the ICJ that its own authority was being undermined by the tactics. Drawing an analogy with the military concerns over the use of multiple drones to attack and overwhelm a conventional target, he warned against allowing the pattern to continue unchecked.
At the core of the campaign was Qatar's pursuit of legal action at the Cerd tribunal while also taking a case at the ICJ. "Let not swarming be legitimated by a legal strategy," Prof Reisman said.
The UAE is asking the ICJ to terminate proceedings at the Cerd, stop Qatari efforts to hamper its citizens from travel to the UAE, prevent media and government committees from using false accusations against the UAE and prevent further aggravation by Qatari representatives.
The UAE denies all allegations that Qataris are suffering under the terms of the convention. The Arab coalition severed logistics links with Qatar in June 2017 in protest at the country's repeated violation of the Riyadh Agreement and its commitments on ending support for extremism and promotion of terror.
The ICJ ruled that the UAE must allow families which include Qatari members, to be reunited, and that Qatari students must be given the chance to complete their education in the Emirates
While the UAE accepted the ICJ intervention in June last year over the rights of Qataris who have links to the UAE, it has returned to court to seek its protection.
Qatar has blocked access to a visa website that the UAE set up to facilitate travel by those Qataris who have legitimate reasons to travel. By blocking its own citizens from accessing the UAE websites designed to ease travel issues, Doha is therefore failing to honour last year's judgment. According to Dan Sarooshi QC, Qatar had been caught "red-handed" using "bogus" security concerns. "It is preventing Qataris from being able to re-enter the UAE," he said.
Documents submitted to the court in addition detailed 82 forged submissions by Qatar that have damaged the integrity of the process. In addition, Qatari-backed news outlets and committees like the country's National Human Rights Committee have targeted the UAE with a misinformation campaign.
"The UAE seeks protection from events outside this hall but that affects these preceedings," added Maria Fogdestam-Agius. "[The UAE asks] not to be subjected to unilateral statements that point to its guilt that cause prejudice to the court."
The ICJ is expected to give a ruling later.

British MoD reveals latest Defence Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine. Image: @DefenceHQ/ Twitter
BACK in 2018, an individual who had been injured whilst being arrested was taken to the hospital in La Linea de la Concepcion for treatment and he was ‘rescued’ by a group of hooded men and escaped.
Since then, the National Police have been keeping a close watch on the family of this person, described as the ‘principal’ in the money laundering of large amounts of cash earned through the importation and sale of drugs.
Having completed their investigation and discovering that those involved enjoyed a high standard of living with no identifiable legitimate source of income, officers raided the main property occupied by the family and arrested four people.
In addition, they seized goods and properties estimated to be worth more than €500,000 which included a luxury car, a further four vehicles and a vessel as well as freezing five bank accounts.
It transpired that the parents of the ‘principal’ had purchased four properties in the area using cash which they had supposedly won in a lottery.

Tracking and fleet management system for GPS devices.
Falcon Tracking System via GPS, GPRS, UHF and Solar battery
Unique device in the world combining the 3 methods of tracking (radio, GPS and cellular) in 1 with a tiny solar battery
A very tiny device is strapped on the back of the falcon or the hawk. It transmits a radio signal to know the distance, direction, speed and altitude of the bird while flying. With a transportable handset you receive these data in real time via radio from the device which is on the back on the falcon or hawk. You can also link this handset via bluetooth to your smart phone or tablet to visualize in real time on google map the path of the bird in the air.
In the case that the radio signal is lost because of the distance or because the bird in on the soil again after catching its prey the device is able to send the GPS position of the animal through a SMS. You receive then the position of the bird on your cell phone. You just click the position on google map to get again the exact position of the bird.
If the falcon or hawk gets lost and you have lost the radio link to the bird and it doesn`t transmit the GPS position through the SMS (because the animal is trapped in a closed space), you can get an approximate position of the animal by the position of the latest GSM antenna which is was attached to and, then exactly localize it again by approaching the bird with your radio antenna.
The device has also a solar battery with an autonomy of up to 4 months and is also a datalogger sorting this information for later retrieval.
A software is also provided to later analyze the behavior of the falcon or hawk`s flight.
- Weight: 18 gr
- UHF transmission from 433 MHZ to 434 MHZ. over 1.000 channels.
- GPS localization by radio or GSM with SMS
- Chargeable 4 months lifetime battery with a plug for your car.

FAIRHAVEN – Following Tuesday’s announcement that Fairhaven’s two wind turbines violated state noise regulations at times during months of testing, some town officials are hoping the industrial-sized machines can be turned off at night.
Board of Selectmen Chairman Charlie Murphy had called for a meeting in April between the Boards of Health and Selectmen to look into turning the turbines off between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. On Wednesday, he said the study’s findings have only strengthened his resolve to “give our residents a good night’s sleep.”
“Before people didn’t believe the turbines were that loud at night, but now the study shows it,” he said.
The sound study, conducted by the state’s Department of Environmental Protection, is not yet complete. Interim findings released Tuesday show that noise from the turbines exceeded state regulations in five of the 24 periods during which the DEP conducted testing.
Those violations occurred at three locations south of the turbines when winds were coming from the north. While the DEP or Boards of Selectmen or Health could take steps to shut the turbines down, the DEP recommended Tuesday that the two boards sit down to talk about their options with turbine developers and come to a solution that does not require legal action. That meeting has been scheduled for June 10 at noon.
Shutting down the turbines all night and every night may not be necessary to remedy the violations, according to turbine developer Sumul Shah.

Topped with a Coolmax knitted stretch layer, a two-way stretch fabric coating, and featuring up to 1000 individual springs, the Windsor Memory Pocket mattress has been designed to improve sleep quality throughout the night.
The Coolmax layer of highly permeable memory foam reacts to body temperature, adapting its shape to better conform to the body during sleep. This layer dissipates heat, absorbs moisture and relieves pressure on sensitive areas, reducing movement and improving circulation during sleep.
The Windsor mattress series has several features designed to improve sleep quality and comfort:
The Windsor contains up to 1000 individual springs enclosed in separate fabric pockets, attached to adjacent pockets to improve responsiveness and body conformity. This construction offers greater comfort when compared to open-sprung mattresses.
The pocket spring system provides medium tension and has been carefully designed to offer orthopaedic support, reducing bodyweight where it is needed most during sleep. Luxury filling materials ensure comfort and support in the long term.
A highly permeable layer of knitted stretch fabric overlays the surface of this mattress. This layer has excellent heat-regulating properties and draws moisture and excess heat away from the body.
Featuring air vents for moisture control and a hypoallergenic anti-dust mite filling helps this mattress to remain healthy and hygienic throughout its life.

RISE ICT stories: Body-based sensor networks – a groundbreaking solution for health care
A network of sensors and actuators on and in your body, which continuously measure your health, diagnose your condition and administer medicine. How does that sound? Through the BioCom-Lab initiative, Linköping University and RISE Acreo are developing bio-electronic solutions for future medical and health care.
The concept behind the BioCom-Lab is to provide companies and other stakeholders within health care with the resources they need in terms of technology and expertise to allow them to take the next step in digital development.
Magnus Berggren, Professor of Organic Electronics at Linköping University, explains: “Organic electronics can be used to control the body’s chemical and biological processes, opening up possibilities for completely new medical and health treatments.”
The researchers are already making progress. Advances made thus far include a bio-sensor platform to measure parameters such as blood-sugar levels in diabetes patients. Instead of taking a blood sample on a test strip then placing the test strip into an instrument to read glucose levels, printed electronics can replace both the instrument and test strip, with a disposable test the size of a business card.
“We envisage a future where a sensor in a band aid can carry out continuous measurements of various parameters,” says Göran Gustafsson, department head at RISE Acreo.
The research teams have also developed prototypes for actuators – implantable “delivery electrodes” – which can be surgically implanted in the patient and, triggered by an electrical signal, administer an exact dose of medicine to exactly the right part of the body. The actuators have already shown good results in animal tests where the pain threshold was changed by electronically delivering neurotransmitters to the spine.
Acreo and Linköping University, in collaboration with Ericsson, have created prototypes showing how humans can function as conductors of information from a smart label (or a sensor plaster), with the information flowing through the body to a mobile device. The technology could be used to connect sensors and actuators in the body to a smartphone in a network.
“It should be possible to take processes which are today carried out in a hospital – taking tests, performing diagnoses and administering medicine – and conduct them locally using a body-based network of sensors and actuators,” Gustafsson says. “The technical solutions being developed within BioCom-Lab will contribute to society getting better value for money in health care and increasing patient independence.”

That's when we learned Airstream came up with the flat steel bar addition to the inside of the A-frame.
Surprisingly, that added enough weight to make the front end behave in a normal way. Still not enough tongue weight, but enough so that the tongue jack stayed on the ground.

Kidneys are a twin organ, one of the most important in the human body. Kidneys cleanse the blood of germs, toxins, infections.
In addition, it is the kidneys that are responsible for maintaining the water-salt balance in the body, the production of red blood cells, blood pressure and perform many other important functions.
Habits slowly killing the kidneys:
- Smoking and alcohol are toxins in the body
- Lack of healthy sleep – the kidney tissue is renewed in a dream. And if you do not sleep a lot, the work of the body may be disrupted.
- A lot of caffeine – its strong diuretic properties contribute to dehydration of the body and increase the burden on the kidneys.
- Sedentary lifestyle – leads to stagnation in the kidneys.
- Lack of vitamin B6 – it should come on the day of 1.3 ml, vitamin is in potatoes, fish, poultry, fruits.
- Untimely emptying the bladder – leads to kidney failure, incontinence.
- A large volume of sodium is contained in the salt. If you eat a lot, the kidneys will be loaded, will not be able to cope with their tasks.
- Unreasoned diets are those that burn fat, expose kidneys and leave them unprotected.
- A lot of protein – it does not accumulate in the body, but is excreted by the kidneys. If they do not cope with a lot of protein, stones appear.
- There is not enough water – water flushes out toxins.
Kidney health is very important! Therefore, follow these rules and tell your friends!

And it’s not just the red carpet. There’s no carpet!” Colm Tóibín was paired with arts and cultures writer Scott Timberg for a wide-ranging conversation that covered everything from Brexit to Miro to Irish history to Elizabeth Bishop to Colm’s own latest novel, House of Names. It was a pretty inspiring time — and my first time at a Live Talks Los Angeles event, a speaker series that’s been bringing authors and other thought leaders to L.A. for seven years.

Media reports have indicated that political pressure was exerted by YSRCP MLA Mr. Hafeez Khan who prevented the dist. administration from shifting Tablighi Jamaat Markaz returnees to quarantine centres and instead treat them at a private nursing home jeopardising thousands of lives.
A legal watchdog Legal Rights Observatory (LRO) has filed a complaint with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Union Health Ministry to investigate the cause of sudden rise in COVID19 cases in Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh. The rise in COVID19 cases has jeopardized the lives of lakhs of people of the district which is now attributed to political interference and minority appeasement.
What does the complaint say?
The LRO complaint says that administration of Kurnool District, Andhra Pradesh has been acting in a very lackadaisical manner ignoring all warning signs and often succumbing to pressure from various quarters. It quotes news reports from various local media channels where it was reported that both the administration and police of Kurnool did not implement the lockdown strictly leading to the sudden rise in the infections in the district.
The district administration handled COVID19 cases as normal chest/lung infection cases and the affected persons were placed in general chest disease ward. Further when reports of presence of strangers in a place of worship was noticed by locals and the same was reported to District Administration, the administration filed criminal cases against those who shared the videos about the presence of strangers and their forced evacuation.
Political Interference and Minority Appeasement by YSRCP MLA
LRO’s complaint highlights the massive political interference which led to huge increase in Covid-19 positive cases in the district leading to the district becoming a Red Zone. This is based on a news report of a reputed Telugu news daily, Andhra Jyothi from its April 19th, 2020 edition. 4.The newspaper report cited above mentions functioning of a private nursing home/ hospital within the red zone. The nursing home was very popular and well established one with huge number of people turning up daily for various ailments. The founder of the nursing home Dr. Ismail Hussain passed away on 14th April, in Kurnool. According to media reports, Six (6) members of his family, including his wife and son, have tested positive for COVID-19, and are under quarantine.
A notification was published on 16-04-2020 by District administration mentioned that “A Person in K M Hospital, Kurnool has tested positive for Corona”. The notification called upon all those people who have visited the said hospital between 20th March, 2020 and 16th April, 2020 should immediate call or SMS the number mentioned in the said notification so that the administration can arrange for medical check-up for such people. It also cautioned the visitors to the hospital to practice self-quarantine, not to touch or go near others. The said notification was marked for wide publicity amongst print/electronic media.
Media reports say that apart from Kurnool district, patients/visitors from adjacent Gadwal district in the state of Telangana have visited the hospital and that their number could be in the hundreds. It is a mystery as to how a private nursing home was allowed to function and allowed outpatient services, says the LRO’s complaint.
Quarantine rules broken for Tablighi Jamaat Markaz returnees
LRO cites media reports which have indicated that political pressure was exerted by the local town MLA Mr. Hafeez Khan of YSRCP and others to turn a blind eye to the functioning of the hospital. Media reports also indicate enormous political pressure exerted by local MLA Mr. Hafeez Khan who also belongs to the same religion as those who attended Tabligh Jamaat, New Delhi. Reports say that he prevented officials from shifting identified Tablighi Jamaat Markaz returnees to quarantine centres. The said MLA also went to the quarantine centre and spent time with the inmates.
LRO’s complaint, says that as per media reports the YSRCP MLA also prevented testing of several people who have attended the Delhi Markaz Event. A video report by ABN Andhra Jyothi has mentioned that the private hospital referred to above has secretly treated the Tablighi Jamaat attendees at the instance of the said local MLA. The number of people who have attended the private hospital during the relevant dates is estimated at around 4,000 including from the adjacent districts of Gadwal in Telangana state.
Such actions have led to the entire town being declared as red zone and the district topping the charts in Covid-19 cases in the state of AP. LRO complaint says that only when situation snowballed out of control and an avalanche of Covid-19 cases started coming up, district administration woke up and started taking measure to control the epidemic. As per the complaint, the said MLA even then has visited quarantine centres and spent time with the inmates there.
The LRO’s complaint alleges that ‘The above sequence of events has put thousands of lives of ordinary citizens of India at risk both in the states of AP and adjacent Telangana. District administration is not transparent in its interaction with public and is succumbing to political pressure and Minority Appeasement.’
Given these reasons, LRO requests MHA to order an Immediate Enquiry by a high-power team of Central Government Officials into the massive outbreak of COVID-19 in Kurnool District and take necessary action to punish the culprits.

The device’s sales percentages make it sound like its flawless, but that’s not even close to the truth. Sadly, after a couple days of usage the device starts bending.
This isn’t the first Nintendo Switch hardware-related problem that was recently spotted. The console’s left Joy-Con randomly starts presenting connectivity issues. This issue is caused by the Joy-Con’s wireless interface and Nintendo managed to fix it through an OTA (over the air) software fix. However, the warping problem cannot be fixed through a software update.
Overheating Causes Nintendo Switch to Bend
According to user reports, the console only starts warping when it is docked. It all started when a Reddit user uploaded a picture of his bent Switch device and then a bunch of other Redditors started uploading pictures of their warped devices. What happens is that when the console is docked it starts running games in higher resolution and its cooling fan spins faster than usual therefore overheating the console.
What’s interesting is that Nintendo has equipped the console with strong materials that will not bend to moderate temperatures. The console’s insides are tightly packed together and they are also covered by a strong metal shield which means that the cooling fan is generating way too much heat than what it’s supposed to. Many believe that if the console keeps overheating likes this, it will lead to permanent hardware damage.
With that being said, it looks like this is a product quality issue in fact. Nintendo didn’t release an official statement regarding this issue, but everyone is hoping that Nintendo will replace the affected consoles. However, the problem is already widespread and Nintendo might have to stop its Switch mass production in order to fix this issue. On the bright side though, the bending doesn’t affect the console’s hardware performance at all which means that people shouldn’t worry too much about it.

Why Hire a Professional for AC Installation?
Most residents may think AC installation is an easy process they can handle themselves. And this may be true for some, but the majority need assistance. When they do, they rely on Thermal Solutions to correctly install and program their new air conditioning systems. There are many steps in the installation process requiring the touch of a professional, and if left to untrained hands, they could become dangerous. Improperly installing your AC unit could also end up costing you more money. Your energy bill relies on your air conditioner’s efficiency. When not correctly hooked up to your home, there could be higher spikes in your monthly expense, even though you selected a quality AC unit. Another way we help save you money is by having all of the proper tools equipped in our trucks. Our team also offers maintenance, and when we handle your AC installation, we can do so quickly because we know it got completed the first time correctly.
Thermal Solutions Offers All Kinds of AC Installations
Getting your air conditioner replaced is the perfect time to ensure you get the right kind for your home and your needs throughout the warm southern months. No matter which type of unit you decide for your home, you can rely on over 100 years of knowledge and experience between our technicians to ensure it is installed correctly. Below are some of the models we have had previous installation experience with:
If you have ductwork existing in your home, these systems push cold air to each of them through these vents. They are accommodating for getting even distribution throughout your entire house and are great for larger homes.
If you only need to cool down one or two rooms, this option is perfect for you. It only uses copper tubing filled with refrigerant, and a wall-mounted blower to keep the room comfortable in the summer. Minimal equipment helps with maintenance throughout the year.
The most energy-efficient model uses water and the temperature in the earth to extract heat pump chilled air through ductwork to your whole home. They do require pipes to be buried in your yard, while the initial cost may be more expensive, the savings each month will add up quickly.
With this cooling system, you can utilize ductwork in your home or eliminate altogether. The heat pump will absorb the warm outside air, cool it, and then push it throughout your home. It also doubles as a heating system in the winter.
Call Thermal Solutions for AC Installation and More
With over 100 years of shared experience with AC installations, you can breathe cooler air quicker with the team at Thermal Solutions. We also help with the selection; it comes time to replace and is here for you all through your new air conditioning system with maintenance services to ensure its longevity.

In the center of the city of Pinar del Río is a unique park that mixes beauty and classical order of Greek and Roman mythology, in open rupture with contemporary architecture.
Known as “Parque de las Estatuas” (“Park of the statues “), the work is the result of FIDIAS project led by the sculptor Pedro Luaces, responsible for several of the most important urban projects of the territory in the last five years.
This marvelous work stands near one of the largest hospitals in the province and the stadium Capitan San Luis, Vegueros’ headquarters, one of baseball teams with more tradition in the island. There, different artistic trends converge, so, visitors can rest, study or just walking.
There you will find ecstatic faces and banshees, lions, rhinos; among the grass, pigs, alligators, all under the gentle shade of a fragile flower roof.
However, the “Park of the statues” is a much more ambitious project and its sociocultural influence directly impacts the nearby town.
Perfectly matched to the environment, it has a gazebo where workshops in painting, sculpture, dolls, ceramics and jewelry are held. It also has a small amphitheater for performances of children and music groups.
Paradise for lovers and space for relaxation, this unique park is an architectural gem in the heart of the land of the best tobacco in the world.
For visit: Carretera Central and Gerardo Medina street. Located in front of Hospital León Cuervo Rubio. Pinar del Rio.

The use of placebo interventions may not only subject a person to prolonged treatment with incidental factors, it may also maintain or enhance problem behaviors temporarily. However, the use of placebo groups in psychotherapy research arouses considerable controversy and many researchers argue against it. This process must include providing information and orientation to families about the available alternatives, their advantages and limitations. Thus, it seems that at least in some cases the use of a placebo group is necessary to obtain significant and credible results Ellenberg and Temple, ; Pocock, ; Temple, ; Millum and Grady, Three other reviews 10 present positions that are clearly contrary to the use of ABA as the main intervention program provided to ASD individuals, considering this approach as inefficient and lacking in scientific support.

Let’s talk about the housing bubble.
Toronto consistently comes out on top in the worldwide roster of best cities to live in thanks to its culture, walkability, safety and more. But the luxury of living in this waterside metropolis can come with a hefty price tag, especially for homeowners who might be feeling chained to a mortgage. On the surface, rising home prices in the Toronto housing market might seem benign to those not looking to sell. What it actually signifies is a major opportunity to leverage their home’s equity and access extra funds without selling.
So, what does Toronto’s housing bubble look like right now?
Despite a brief drop in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Toronto’s housing market has continued its upward climb, driving GTA house prices up across the board for renters and buyers alike. In the last quarter of 2021, the median sale price for single-detached and semi-detached homes in Toronto reached a record high of $1.38 million and $1.1 million, according to recent data released by the Canadian Real Estate Association.
The average condo price in Toronto has also shot up significantly. Supply and demand, and low-interest rates, are significant factors in the seemingly non-stop growth of Toronto’s housing market crisis. Little inventory and high demand alongside buyers taking advantage of low-interest rates make the market red hot, driving high GTA house prices. Unfortunately, there’s no end in sight—but not all hope is lost when it comes to home equity.
What exactly is home equity?
It’s a sellers’ market, but there are benefits for homeowners who don’t want to sell, too. Consumers can take advantage of what they own using a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit. These types of loans allow you to borrow money against your home’s equity. For example, if you own a $700,000 condo and still owe $400,000, you have $300,000 in equity that will continue to grow the more you put down on your mortgage. Equity also rises when the housing market is strong, driving prices up, as has been the case recently.
Can I pay off debt with my home equity?
Having access to these additional funds can be life-changing, especially for those living in a city that makes debt repayment difficult (ahem, Toronto). One way homeowners can use their home’s equity to their advantage is by paying off debt.
A debt consolidation loan is an effective way to save money while paying off debt. Using a home equity loan, homeowners can consolidate high-interest payments into a single lower-interest payment with a more financially beneficial term, payment, interest rate or loan structure. Ultimately, this type of loan can help homeowners take control of their debt. The current housing market also lends itself to homeowners being able to take out a more substantial home equity loan.
How can I invest using my home equity?
It’s easy to feel bogged down by debt and bills, despite being bombarded with encouragement to invest, invest, invest. But there is something homeowners might not be considering, and that’s using their own home equity to put back into the market and invest in their financial future. Homeowners don’t need liquid cash to take advantage of new investment opportunities; rather, they can leverage their equity to provide some flexibility.
Home equity loans can help raise your home’s value
Home renovations keep your house updated and in great shape for whatever comes. Homeowners can put a home equity loan towards upgrades, like gutting bathrooms or upgrading outdated kitchens. Renovations are a great way to add value, but many homeowners worry about not qualifying for a home improvement loan.

Got 5 done this week. Also feeling (after 5 weeks at this) that a cleaner aesthetic/style is developing? Had fun writing these out on Monday, and knocking them out (slowly) each day. At this point I have the beginnings of an idea for a serial webcomic, but going to use the rest of this project to think it through a bit more.
Had a rough day dealing with the emotions of quarantined-life, so I watched a very random movie and drew parts of it. But not much in the way of other side-drawings.
Weird side note: the lead actress (Giulietta Masina) spells her surname the way my family’s name was allegedly spelled before a bureaucratic error was made with my grandpas ID.
