Last week a delegation of British companies supported by U.K. Trade and Investment attended the sustainable-development advocacy conference Globe 2014, in Vancouver, British Columbia, to showcase the country's expertise in low-carbon solutions and sustainability innovations. U.K. Trade and Investment (UKTI) is the British Foreign Offices' business development arm which aims to promote U.K. businesses abroad, as well as attract foreign investment in the country, with an overarching aim of creating job growth.
Despite the fact that the U.K. is a small country and is not a huge emitter of carbon in the global context, it has nonetheless set ambitious environmental policies, like reducing carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050. In addition, since the U.K. operates under the European Emissions Trading Scheme, regulatory incentives exist for companies to develop innovations that will help meet emissions targets.
I had the opportunity to speak with Mike Rosenfeld, Vice Consul - USA Clean Technology Sector Lead for UKTI, about the strengths of the U.K. clean tech industry and how its businesses are poised to be competitive players on the global stage.
I asked Vice Consul Rosenfeld whether the regulatory environment has helped the U.K.'s clean tech industry gain a competitive advantage, to which he replied: "Policies that have been put into place have given some businesses an opportunity that might not otherwise have been there. To some extent, they were forced to be compliant; but they have found there is money to be made."
As a result, this has likely spurred the U.K. to develop particular strengths, with U.K. industry now being strong in areas such as carbon reduction, water management, metering and smart grid, as well as waste management and resource recovery.
In addition, Rosenfeld said, the U.K. has made good use of innovative financial structures to allow expertise to develop by way of public-private partnerships between government and business. The country has also developed expertise in consultation services around ensuring compliance, and has lent some of that know-how to places like California in the development of the state's cap-and-trade program mandated under AB32, California's Global Warming Solutions Act.
Clean tech has already created a significant number of jobs in the U.K. Rosenfeld stated that offshore wind power, where Britain is already global leader, has bolstered job growth saying, "It will require the workforce, but also the whole supply chain that goes around it, from turbine manufacturing, undersea cabling, and the manufacture of towers."
Estimates, given to me, based on research from the U.K. Department of Energy and Climate Change predict that by 2020 the number of “green” jobs in the U.K. will increase to 1.4 million – up from 1 million today. According to Renewable U.K., the wind, wave and tidal energy sector employs approximately 20,000 full-time staff with a further 20,000 indirectly employed, such as companies that supply goods and services to the sector. Over the next decade, more than 70,000 jobs could be created in the nation's wind, wave and tidal energy sector, according to Renewable U.K.
A couple of the British companies represented at Globe 2014 are setting up North American operations too. Beyond Energy Code Consulting, a joint venture between U.K. and Canadian entrepreneurs, will help Canadian commercial and institutional customers move towards net-zero energy operations. Another, International Synergies, is also opening up a Canadian office specializing in programs that share and reuse resources in an industrial ecosystem.

"We remind all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that he has a right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."

Danish intelligence officials have identified several Iraqi migrants as having participated in terrorist activities. Most notably, the Iraqis have run a recruiting and transportation network that identified Moslems in Europe and North Africa who were willing to carry out terrorist attacks in Iraq, and supplied them with transportation, via Syria, to terrorist groups in Iraq. The Danish intel people worked with their counterparts in Germany, Morocco and other countries, to identify the Iraqi migrants (particularly Amer Saeed) who were running this network from Denmark.
The Danish government attempted to deport the Iraqis back to Iraq (on the grounds that their pro-terrorist beliefs made them unfit to enjoy asylum in Denmark). The deportation was blocked by lawyers pleading that the Iraqi terrorists would be at risk of mistreatment by Iraqi police interrogators, or murder at hands of families of those killed by Islamic terrorists the Danish Iraqis helped get into Iraq. Thus, on humanitarian grounds, the Iraqi terrorists continue to live in Denmark.

The biggest bomb of the time of World War II exploded underwater when marine divers tried to defuse it in Poland. For safety, more than 750 people had to be evacuated from the site.
This is the Tallboy bomb that was dropped by the British Army during World War II in an attack on a German cruiser. It was about six metres long, weighed nearly 5,400 kilos, including 2,400 kilos of explosive, and exploded as they tried to defuse it in the Piast Canal.
In the video posted by Reuters, it can be seen that the explosion was so powerful that the birds flew away in fear, but fortunately, no one was injured.
“The deflagration process has turned into a detonation. The target can be considered neutralized, as it will no longer pose a threat to the navigation channel,” spokesman for the 8th coastal defense fleet Grzegorz Lewandowski told local media.
The initial plan was to defuse Tallboy with a process of burning the explosive charge at lower temperatures, but Polish Navy officers were aware that this method could fail and the bomb could explode during the attempt.

Michael Flynn, a retired lieutenant general in the U.S. Army and the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, was the national security advisor early in the Trump administration.
President Trump offered Flynn the position on November 17, 2016. He resigned on February 13, 2017, amid reports that he did not provide Vice President Mike Pence with accurate information about a conversation that he had with a Russian ambassador concerning sanctions against the country.
General Flynn dedicated his life to serving his country. Then, for the ‘crime’ of working for Donald Trump, his life was destroyed.
Flynn joins Tucker for his first exclusive interview to reveal the inside details on being framed by the deep state.

The objective of this study was to identify market opportunities for providing bus access and egress services to reverse peak and suburb-suburb travelers using the Metra rail services. The methodological approach combined both qualitative and quantitative elements. The quantitative components of the project included analyzing data from various sources including Metra ridership survey, ridership counts, an employer database and Census journey-to-work data. The qualitative elements included in-depth employer interviews designed to evaluate employer and employee interest in a feeder bus service linking suburban-based companies to surrounding Metra stations.
As a sub-consultant to Cambridge Systematics, Canete Medina (formerly cmQue, inc.) was responsible for developing an employer database and geocoding ridership surveys for the study. Canete Medina also created the GIS-based decision support tool that integrated census information, the employer database, and ridership surveys, for use in planning service enhancements and targeting potential rail passengers.

Or is quantity preferred over quality?
It’s no question that over the past decade or two we’ve seen an uncanny amount of video game releases hit consumer stores worldwide. It’s been on the upswing for quite sometime now, but with the rise of superior technology now hitting gaming consoles, as well as PC systems – it often seems much of the industry is flooded with unoriginal or often bleak game design. But not all.
The farther along we continue to push the technological barriers, the easier it becomes to adapt to our current tech standards. Be it indie developers or AAA studios – pumping out title after title is seemingly becoming an easier feat; and easier method of earning a decent dollar. But how long will we, the consumer – and player – continue to put up with it?
Now, this isn’t to say the sheer amount of games released are all seemingly bad, but rather the studios that seem to release games in long generational gaps are simply received far better. We’ve been through fatigue stages time and time again through some of our most cherished franchises and it takes a mature mindset to realize this. As much as we all love seeing new title upon new title release taking some of our favorite heroes or protagonists deeper into their personal stories, would the industry and its fans benefit more by taking time away from annual or bi-annual releases?
We’ve seen the success of long-development games like Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series – which started off with 2 year installments (and no one is putting down any of those titles) but arguably the fourth installment was the best in the series. With the 5 year gap between Uncharted 3 and 4, it’s no question the studio was hard at work with another IP – The Last of Us. Even still, the beginning work on The Last of Us in 2009 led to the studio’s first ever split of teams so two different IPs could be managed appropriately.
The 5 year span also signified development studios taking more time to acclimate to the new Playstation 4 generation hardware. While this does take time for teams to nail specific hardware and technological leaps, the 5 year span from Uncharted 3 to 4 is showcased in the perfected presentation capping off the Nathan Drake series. And with The Last of Us underway since 2009, the game wouldn’t release for another 4 years in 2013 – further displaying how important and versatile a game can be if the appropriate time is taken to complete it.
Now with The Last of Us Part II well underway and being teased for the past couple of years, we’re still eagerly awaiting any kind of hint for a street date. Beginning development soon after the release of the original Last of Us in 2014, it’s now been 4 solid years of putting together what looks to be one of the best games of the generation. And so far it looks as though the community will only benefit from the long wait during the lengthy development process from Naughty Dog.
Continuous GOTY Contenders
Which can also bring us to Rockstar along with their beloved and popular series, both Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. It’s no secret the timeline between GTA games has significantly increased since the short release windows between the beloved early millennium trilogy. GTA IV hit stores in 2008 – 4 years after the acclaimed San Andreas. Five years later at the tail end of the last generation of consoles Rockstar released the stellar hit GTA V.
Currently, GTA V is still reeling in fans into staggering numbers as one of gaming’s most successful games ever. However, aside from the port of GTA V from last generation to our current gen consoles, it’s starting to look like we won’t see a new GTA until next-gen. That being said, Rockstar has been busy creating what looks like their next instant hit in Red Dead Redemption 2 which is set to launch this coming October. While the development process has been tightly wrapped as of this writing, it’s very plausible to assume Rockstar began work on RDR2 shortly after the launch of GTA V, initiating yet another long development cycle for what could be one of the year’s best game, and an obvious GOTY contender.
Which brings us to our most recent successful release in Sony Santa Monica’s God of War (2018). Throughout a long development process of nearly 5 years, the famed gaming studio worked tirelessly for a fistful of years creating what many are already calling, not only the game of the year, but of the generation. After the original vision of the God of War franchise began growing more and more stagnant with every release, SSM knew that returning to the drawing board for a soft reboot would help revive the classic series.
And revive the series it did. God of War has been cultivating a massive amount of perfect scores all over the world and is showing no signs of dipping below a 95 Metacritic score. The time taken to develop such an incredibly gifted and satisfying game shows us just how important the quality of game development really is. And the same could be said for Nintendo’s Zelda or Mario series, as well. Both of which released brand new adventures last year after being dry for over 5 years each, culminating in a group effort to help put Nintendo back on the map of relevancy for hardcore and casual gamers alike.
Taking Your Time Often Leads to Success
With all of this talk about beloved and highly acclaimed franchises taking more time for development for the better, how can we not mention Ubisoft and their 2017 release of Assassin’s Creed Origins. Being a mindful thorn in their side, Ubisoft took time off of their annual releases of the AC series and put more time in Origins – a reinvention of the series of sorts. The development started only 3 years prior from Ubisoft Montreal’s last release in Black Flag (2014), but that’s quite the break considering the development studio’s previous quick releases. And the extra time proved to help the series flow full of new and exciting content to help revitalize the series once again.
And while the release of Origins was overall successful and received high praise from media outlets who have disregarded the series in year’s past, the annual releases from Ubisoft is a harsh reminder of what can begin to happen when rushing into new releases. Fans grow tired and fatigued (there’s that word again) from what seems like a copy and paste job only changing the historical settings and characters. But, unfortunately the AC series was not the only franchise hurting from repetition and stale, unoriginal gameplay.
The Call of Duty’s, Madden’s, Forza’s and Need for Speed’s of the gaming industry have all often been stricken with dragging gameplay elements and miniscule changes to he recurring formula. With every yearly release shot out of the cannon came more drab reviews and negative feedback from the fans. While they still presumably sell well due to dedicated fanbase and eSports leagues, the industry’s top-selling titles are more often games that have taken years to develop. And we’re hoping this practice will begin to catch on as we dive further into the advancements of technology.
Worth the Wait?
While we all love new games hitting our hardware monthly and the (not so) surprising annual announcements at video game conventions, like E3 – I’m willing to bet the community loves playing top-notch, greatly rectified titles even more. So, is taking more time to produce and develop a game to its full potential worth waiting it out a bit longer? I guess that all depends on what you enjoy playing for your gaming entertainment. One thing is certain, and that is we’ve experienced some of the best games ever released within the past decade – most of which taking their sweet time to complete development. And that’s unequivocally a good thing.

Anne Klein (Rice University) will deliver a lecture titled "The Sunlit Sky: Longchenpa's Open Secret" at 7pm on October 4, 2018 at Naropa's Nalanda Events Center, 6287 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder, Colorado. This lecture is part of an on-going Buddhist Studies Lecture Series, a collaboration between Naropa University and the Department of Religious Studies. Anne Klein will be staying the weekend to participate in the Lotsawa Translation Workshop, October 5-8th at CU Boulder, made possible with the generous support of the Tsadra Foundation.
The Sunlit Sky: Longchenpa’s Open Secret
Buddhist philosophy and practice is oriented to subtle states which are famously inexpressible. This is especially true in the esoteric Great Completeness (Dzogchen) traditions. But the inexpressible is not inaccessible. It can be known. Sensing, affective feeling, and the kinesthetic engagement of the body are intrinsic to such knowing. The brilliant poet-yogi Longchen Rabjam, who gave voice to Tibet’s most powerful Dzogchen compositions, reshaped earlier Buddhist understandings of mind, body, and senses. He saw as portals to an intimate, inexpressible knowing This inexpressible yet ubiquitous, easily obscured yet thoroughly available wisdom is Dzogchen’s open secret.
Although reality is inexpressible, it is deeply felt. What does it feel like? To the body it feels like flows deep within. In wisdom it arises as states of wonder, delight, and loving responsiveness. Such states can seem impossibly esoteric. Yet there are analogies to them in everyday experience. Intuition, for example, also springs forth of its own accord. In philosophy, metaphor and poetry, Longchenpa makes the strange familiar, revealing how these awakened states, seemingly esoteric and distant, are an open secret because our sensibilities are primordially primed for their own awakening. Wisdom, he says, is present throughout every mind and body, and thus, potentially as clear as the radiance of a sunlit sky.
Anne C. Klein /Rigzin Drolma is Professor of Religion at Rice University. She is also a Lama in the Nyingma tradition and a Founding Director at Dawn Mountain Center for Tibetan Buddhism (www.dawnmountain.org). Her training includes close study with major Tibetan Lamas in three of Tibet’s great traditions. Her academic work and teaching-retreats draw from all of these, with special emphasis on Nyingma Heart Essence traditions. Her translation work focuses on Tibetan texts and oral commentaries on them. Her central thematic interest is the embodied interaction between head and heart as illustrated across a spectrum of Buddhist descriptions of human consciousness and its cultivation. She has also been a participant in Mind Life and other conversations between Buddhism and contemplative science. Her seven books include Heart Essence of the Vast Expanse: A Story of Transmission and Meeting the Great Bliss Queen and, most recently, her translation of Strand of Jewels: My Teachers’ Essential Guidance on Dzogchen by Khetsun Sangpo Rinpoche.

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to report the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) and other non-communicable diseases among migrant workers in Singapore admitted for COVID-19 infection, to highlight disease burden and the need for changes in health screening and healthcare delivery in this unique population.
SETTING: The study was conducted in the largest tertiary hospital in Singapore.
DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional study.
PARTICIPANTS: 883 migrant workers who had mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 infection admitted to three isolation wards between 6 April 2020 and 31 May 2020 were included in this study.
OUTCOME MEASURES: The outcome measures were the prevalence of pre-existing and newly diagnosed comorbid conditions and the prevalence of CVRFs-diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia-and non-communicable diseases at the time of discharge. The OR of having specific CVRFs depending on country of origin was generated via multivariate logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS: The median age of our study population was 45 years. 17.0% had pre-existing conditions and 25.9% received new diagnoses. Of the new diagnoses, 15.7% were acute medical conditions and 84.3% chronic medical conditions. The prevalence of CVRFs was higher in Southeast Asian and South Asian migrant workers compared with Chinese. The prevalence of non-communicable diseases on discharge was highest among Southeast Asians (49.4%).
CONCLUSIONS: The COVID-19 outbreak in a large number of migrant workers in Singapore unmasked a significant disease burden among them, increasing stakeholders’ interests in their welfare. Moving forward, system-level changes are necessary to deliver healthcare sustainably and effect improvements in migrant workers’ health.

I first heard that Sky Arts were looking for portrait painters last year when an email was forwarded to me by Roger Bishop of Topsham Art Group. A tv show featuring portraiture, it sounded like my kind of thing. I was interested and intrigued. I fired off an email to the producers, and a few weeks later I had a meeting in an Exeter coffee shop. It went well, and I promise you this is true, as I walked to my car, I felt a buzzy kind of feeling in my stomach, and just knew it was going to lead to something.
I duly entered, as I have with many competitions. I put in the self portrait that had been close to selection for the BP Portrait Award. Despite knowing that there would be a lot of entries, I just believed mine would be selected. That kind of ‘smile to yourself because it’s going to happen, (and its going to be great!)’ feeling. It wasn’t arrogance; it was much more fun than that, like having a secret.
A few months later, the email arrived from the producers of Storyvault Films, the production company. I was one of 84 selected and would need to attend a regional final (London, Glasgow, Dublin or Cardiff). I had ticked the London box on the entry form as it felt like the place to be, and Trafalgar Square has a special magic for me (my nine year old self loved feeding the pigeons, at nineteen I discovered the National Gallery, these days its the National Portrait Gallery that does it for me) but Storyvault needed me to be at the Cardiff event, so reluctantly I agreed. The important thing was being in the competition, but there turned out to be a good reason I wished it had been London.
On a warm and sunny morning in July I drove to Cardiff. Barely a car on the road, it was a fantastic day to be alive on. I switched between a state of reverie and full alertness with an anxiety to do well. But all the time a reassuring voice in my mind told me to be calm and enjoy every moment. “Thanks me,” I said out loud as I pulled up to the monumental Cardiff City Hall. An understated name for such a beautiful and grand building!
I grabbed my materials; canvas board, pencils and acrylics. Acrylic paint, on one of the hottest days of the year? It dries REALLY quickly. Was I about to seriously regret this choice, I wondered as I marched toward the entrance. Could be one of the costliest mistakes of my professional life. All of a sudden the stakes rose.
I was impressed. With the building, with the set up, with the way we were welcomed. Coffee and croissants, grand high-ceilinged rooms, splendid pink lanyards around the neck.
There was twenty one artists, and despite nerves and the usual slightly awkward atmosphere you’d expect, people got chatting and a polite camaraderie set in. The production company, Storyvault Films had already done the London event and for the most part seemed very efficient.
The programme for the day was explained, and we were taken into the large space where the studio was ready. It was one of those round set ups, imagine a pie chart divided equally into three slices. Each one would have a guest sitter modelling for seven artists. Positions, and who each artist would paint had all been decided. Now, for reasons that were unclear, the sections were not described as sections, or slices of pie. Someone decided that we were in fact all to be part of a big cheese. To be honest with you, I cant remember whether I was in Cheese A, B or C. Lets face it, its not important.
And to be frank, I wish I hadn’t mentioned it now. You want to know about a portrait competition, not cheese.
We each settled into our workspace, setting out materials and getting ourselves prepared. Before the sitters arrived we were able to view the self portraits that had gotten us all into the regional heat (and heat was the word, the temperature rose all day). I was astounded by some of the work. And it was interesting to see the artists both in real life and on the canvas.
The paintings were all so different in style. Everything about the situation was a little surreal, and with cameras of all sorts everywhere, even before filming really got going it was a million miles from the usual working atmosphere of a portrait artist. We would have four hours actual painting time over the day, with breaks and certain things that had to be filmed taking us up to about 5.30. We marched in and out a couple times and followed other amusing directions now and then.
Then the guest sitters arrived. Lucian Freud’s celebrated muse Sue Tilley, fully clothed, thankfully. Welsh Rugby player Gavin Henson, soon half naked, after judge Kate Bryan uttered the immortal words, ” in the name of art, can I ask you to get your kit off?” And Charity worker and Falklands Veteran Simon Weston. I was in Simon’s cheese. Which was something I never could have imagined I would be able to say.
We shook hands and he chatted with us for a while. As I settled in with a mixture of bemused and cheerful anxiety, that reassuring voice was still there, helping me appreciate the moment.
The time came. Four hours of competition painting began.
Looking back I can say that with an art competition, it seems that because everyone is SO totally different in their approach and style, you’re not competing against them, but yourself.
No one expects the same level of finish as your self portrait of course, but just how good your picture can be in four hours is a curious mix of discipline, skill and luck. All manner of things can go wrong at the best of times, but under these conditions… The saving grace for me was all the breaks. We were allowed to work through them if we wanted, but the models chair would be empty.
Many people were surprised by the prevalent use of cameras and photography. Some artists, used only to working from photos, took a photo and worked almost entirely from that. Shocking to some with the man himself sat right there. But remember the time frame and the conditions. Having been in it I would say that with the stakes as high as they were, anything that an artist can do to improve their chances of winning is understandable.
I sat and looked for the first fifteen minutes, something that was later mentioned by the judges as slightly worrying. While Toby next to me charged ahead and quickly filled his canvas, my modest board remained untouched.
My grandfather was an artist, though not exactly prolific, and he taught my mother to observe the things worth seeing. And its oh so tempting to start frenetically. I told myself to go steady, measured, so that you build your certainty as you go, increasing your confidence later as you move from the underlying structure and anatomy of the subject into a more creative space and a ‘letting go’. That was the plan anyway, and by lunch I felt that I was about where I wanted to be with it.
Interviews also punctuated work, and I was interviewed by the Royal Academy’s director of exhibitions Kathleen Soriano. I thought I did well with those, and there was interest in my use of an iPad, which I used to record the day, and to view my work (the usual mirrors and my computer being in short supply).
Then there was a realisation that we’d been mentioning a brand name throughout. We did it all again but I think a little bit of Kathleen had lost the will to live, as had I. We put on brave faces but our eyes had died.
At lunchtime I chatted with Presenter Frank Skinner about the work. Lunch was nice. Their was a young man in the grand foyer doing portraits in Marmite. On toast. Unusual. He explained that reactions were typically quite divided. I noticed some artists filling up on carbs and desserts and thought, ” you’ll regret that come hour four.”
Then I realised I wasn’t David Mitchell in Peepshow and focused on my own food choices. I can genuinely say by the way, how polite and encouraging the artists were in conversation and conduct.
We resumed painting. I played it safe. I resisted the idea of getting reckless and throwing in some curve ball late in the process, lest I should mess it up at the final hurdle and then have to throw myself in Cardiff Bay. We pushed on through, and suddenly, it was all coming to an end.
Joan Bakewell gave the command to put down our brushes, and frankly, no one was going to argue with her. We had done everything we could do. Lap of the Gods time. I was pretty pleased, but what would the judges think? Was I in with a chance? What would they say about my work on camera? Should I have been bolder, taken more chances?
Conclusion to my day in the Cardiff heat…
So, the paintings and brushes were still wet, and it was time for the moment of truth. There was still more I really wanted to do to my work, but I was reasonably happy considering it was only four hours. And I hadn’t fiddled about with it and ruined what I had achieved thus far. That’s SO easy to do. Artists stood by their easels and cameramen, crane cams and producers gathered as the day was reaching it’s climax.
The room was hushed to record the verdict on each painting, and in due course the presenters and judges made their way round the entire cheese. Kate Bryan stepped forward to comment on mine. In those moments there’s a real tension, suddenly every moment becomes more important, it was clear that comments exchanged wouldn’t get a second take.
I listened intently, in case an answer was required, think short, sharp and professional just in case. She mentioned the colour of my background being hard to make work or something, but I had pulled it off well. “Well done”. They moved on to Toby.
Two thoughts at that point passed through my head, the first one about how hard it must be to say something constructive to everyone under the lights with everyone watching. The other thought was (in a nice way), “Well that was .......”. By which I meant, ‘flannel’. A bit like complimenting a painter at the private view of their first solo exhibition with the words, “your framing is very effective.”
The sitters could choose their favourite painting and take it home. A Take Away painting!
Who’d have thought! Simon chose Margaret-next-to-me’s piece, a lovely light and colourful impression which he felt best represented his cheerful, forward-looking outlook on life.
Then the judges announced the three shortlisted artists, to stand in purgatory, I mean, so the judges could focus and agonise over their favourite piece and send one artist to the final, and to ramp up the tension for the end of the episode.
I was disappointed not to make the final three, for by then you have imagined winning just a little bit, and possibly being in the top three a bit more than a little bit.
But I was still really enjoying myself! I watched the rest being filmed. Seeing the frame on camera monitors gave you a hint of what televised show would be like. And it did look great. I liked the winning painting, but I thought there were stronger pieces in the room. Everyone thanked everyone, then busied themselves with leaving.
What a day! Painting in a fabulous building, being looked after by a fantastic production company (I couldn’t fault them, from runner to Producer), the challenge of the portrait itself, meeting Simon, hanging out with Frank…
My aim to just enjoy the process, make the most of it all, and just do the best I could on the day was fulfilled.
A hot and golden day…
Oh, and Andy Murray was winning Wimbledon all the while!
Footnotes: Now, one of the highlights of my day was meeting Tai Shan Schierenberg, an excellent portrait artist whose work hangs in the National Portrait Gallery. His soberly toned and muscular painting style is one of my all time favourites. Love it, and loved meeting him. He came round and we chatted. Acknowledging of course in my own mind, that his is the superior talent we never the less talked as artists, portrait artists. On the level.
That felt good.
The following didn’t.
I have really made the effort in the last three years to market myself more, to take photos of whatever art activities I get up to and get those out there. I ensured I had a picture taken with the presenters, Frank Skinner and Joan Bakewell. And I had it fixed in my mind, get a photo with Tai.
The opportunities got slimmer and slimmer, and come the end I lost him in the crowd and got my self portrait, the new work and all my gear down to the car. Then clutching my iPad I tracked down my quarry who by now was somewhat stressed and feeling late leaving for the next train. I ignored the polite thing to do. I asked if I could quickly get a photo. He actually kind of refused in the circumstances, I said it wont take long and thrust my ipad at a stranger.
Then Tai was told there was not such a hurry for the train, he quickly put his arm round me for the picture. It was taken and I thanked him. Tai, not the man who took the shot, I think I ignored him. And walked away with my picture. And smashed forever the idea of us as two portrait painters talking as professionals about the process of an age old craft, replacing it with a hot and bothered exchange in which an ignorant and pushy fan insisted he get his cheeky snap for his facebook page.
Just as I was heading for my car, coming to terms with what I had temporarily turned into, Kathleen Soriano stopped me. Kate was sorry for the comment about the background colour, it wasn’t what she had intended to say but that's what came out in the moment, then it was time to move on (fair play, apology accepted, second hand or not). And also, in case I was disappointed she kindly told me that there had been quite a disagreement amongst the judges about whether myself or Toby should be in the top three. That was good to hear. I thanked her, and as the warm evening sun still shone, I got in my car, with mixed feelings but general contentment that I had done my best (excepting the dreadful photograph incident of course) and headed into the sunset.
I felt amazing, and wished I could do it again. For about a week I yearned to be back in that amazing fishbowl. Still, more warm summer lay ahead and the series wasn’t due out till later in the year. Sky Portrait Artist of the Year 2013, Cardiff event, done.
Oh yes, I almost forgot…
I mentioned earlier that there was a reason I was disappointed not to have gone to the London. Well three reasons. Alison Steadman, Robert Lindsay and Juliet Stevenson. I would love to have had the chance to paint them. Not that I didn’t enjoy painting Simon Weston. But I had written to JS twice before, and assistants had said she was too busy. She was once given a small portrait I did of her (as Grusha in Brecht’s Caucasian Chalk Circle), by my partner Shirley Beth who kept meeting her on the train one year. I like to think it hangs at a jaunty angle in Juliet’s downstairs loo. Or somewhere. Anywhere. It’s Juliet Stevenson.
Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, on Sky Arts 1HD, and on Sky One. November-December 2013, 6 episodes. 84 Artists in four UK regional heats, four in the final, and the winner receives a £10,000 portrait commission from the National Portrait Gallery of prize winning author, Hilary Mantel, which will hang in the British Museum. Nice.

Audiences will no doubt emphatically agree that, yes, "sometimes dead is better," after watching the newly released second trailer for the new adaptation of Pet Sematary.
Based on Stephen King's 1983 horror novel, the film by directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer follows the Creed family from Boston to rural Maine, where, instead of a peaceful new life in a seemingly idyllic setting, they find anguish and untold evil.
The Creeds probably would've been better off remaining in Boston or, at least heeding the warnings of quirky neighbor Jud Crandall (John Lithgow).
Based on the seminal horror novel by Stephen King, Pet Sematary follows Dr. Louis Creed (Jason Clarke), who, after relocating with his wife Rachel (Amy Seimetz) and their two young children from Boston to rural Maine, discovers a mysterious burial ground hidden deep in the woods near the family’s new home. When tragedy strikes, Louis turns to his unusual neighbor, Jud Crandall (John Lithgow), setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unfathomable evil with horrific consequences.
Directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, Pet Sematary stars Jason Clarke, Amy Seimetz, Jeté Laurence, Hugo and Lucas Lavoie, and John Lithgow. The adaptation of the Stephen King novel opens April 5.

At first I was just going to add balloons to the fish, but then how would he breath! So I drew a fishbowl around him and attached the balloons to that. I never liked how the balloons in Hip Hip Hooray were a solid stamp in a set of line-art. So after stamping, I outlined them. The sentiment just seemed appropriate with the theme :D I sponged the sky after doing all the stamping and colouring. I masked the objects so I wouldn't get them too muddied up.

Palm Oil Processing
Palm oil processing isn’t as straightforward as oil extraction from different oil bearing materials. The complete course of begins with sorting of the fruits as soon as they arrive in the palm oil processing plant. As soon as the low quality fruits have been sorted from the great fruits, the unhealthy ones are disposed while the nice ones transfer to the subsequent stage. When these fruits reach the conveyer system, they are split into smaller pieces earlier than being relayed to a large cage for Petroleum sterilization. At this stage, all the contaminants are ridden of the fruits and then passed on to a rotating threshing drum.
The threshing drum aids within the separation of the fruit from the husks. Once this separation is complete, the remnant moves to the digesters and eventually to the presser which is accountable with the extraction of the crude palm oil (CPO) from the fruit. Clarification and drying are the final processes that the crude oil will likely be subjected to before it is ready for transportation to a palm oil refinery. It is essential to petroleum equipment services kerrville nj grasp every of those steps in addition to the varied machines that are used at every stage. When you omit or ignore any of the principle stages, chances are petroleum equipment services kerrville nj you’ll not produce the specified palm oil.

Commonwealth Games Australia announce new partnership with Australian Paralympic Committee
Commonwealth Games Australia and the Australian Paralympic Committee today announced a new ground-breaking partnership aimed at providing Australian athletes the best possible environment for success at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.
The first of its kind between peak bodies, the partnership will see a new level collaboration between Commonwealth Games Australia and the Australian Paralympic Committee, with the benefits shared by Australian athletes.
As part of the agreement, the APC will contribute to the successful planning, organisation and management of the Australian Commonwealth Games Team, with the CGA in turn providing team service support for the Paralympic Games Teams.
Commonwealth Games Australia CEO Craig Phillips said that the partnership was ultimately a win for Australian Sport.
“Commonwealth Games Australia believes that we stand the best chance of success by working collaboratively with our high performance partners,” he said.
“The Australian Paralympic Committee have done great work preparing Australian teams for success, so we are really thrilled to formalise a partnership and to be able to call on their expertise in preparing our team for Gold Coast 2018.
“Gold Coast 2018 will feature the most extensive integrated para-sport program in Commonwealth Games history with some 60 athletes competing in 38 events across seven sports.
“The job of Commonwealth Games Australia is to prepare our team as best we can and create an environment where athletes have every chance to achieve success and I am sure that by working together with the APC, we can achieve that,” Phillips said.
APC chief Executive Lynne Anderson believes the initiative has the potential to give Australian athletes a strong competitive edge for many Commonwealth Games and Paralympic Games to come.
“CGA and the APC share many similar objectives and face similar challenges, and we feel strongly that by joining forces, we will be better equipped to overcome those challenges,” Anderson said.
“CGA recognizes that the APC has developed the capability to successfully plan and deliver large-scale, multi-sport national teams that achieve performance success within a positive, cohesive team environment.
“We are very excited to be invited to share our expertise with CGA during the Gold Coast 2018 campaign, and we look forward to strengthening our relationship as we look towards achieving success at the Tokyo Paralympic Games in 2020.
“We hope this ground-breaking partnership sets the platform for greater collaboration among Australia’s peak sporting bodies.”

Images of Bettie like the one here to the left still to this very day, hold the power to take my breath away.
I'm not going to attempt to tell her story here, most of you already either knew it, or have spent the past day or so getting acquainted with the realities of her life.
Her life beyond the photography studios and outdoor sets took her to people and places and parts of the world far from those idealized moments captured in the images.
So in writing this, I begin how it began for me, with the images themselves and the now long lost world they came from.
Her passing is an occasion to contemplate the vast changes that have taken place in the world of fetish and BDSM in relation to communications and community.
Bettie became the icon she was due to the growth of the camera clubs and Irving Klaw's mailing list of then deeply closeted (purely for day to day survival purposes) clients. She was for all intents and purposes the first bondage supermodel to what was not so much a "community," as a matter of individuals secretly purchasing the images.
The photographs and films she starred in were not so much depictions of her own sexuality, rather they were often based upon requests from those purchasing the materials.
For me, (like many of her fans,) it was always about a certain look in her eye. Be that playing the confident, playful, or sultry Mistress, or the looks of concern or even fear at impending suffering that might lie ahead of her, depicted as the helpless beauty usually whist held captive in some form of bondage.
Her acting classes aside, the photographs capture the feeling of some of the most rare moments that Kinky people treasure; looks of apprehension and loss of control, becoming a canvas to an artist, both needing and fearing what comes next.
Or the slight smile at the corners of one's owner's mouth as she prepares to correct or discipline a girl who is clearly in need of it.
Being S/switch, I've both worn and known each of those looks myself.
I've seen similar on the faces of those I've loved.
Most of all though, I understand Bettie's frequent expressions of playfulness or triumph or of sheer joy.
We catch glimpses of these, from time to time, sometimes on the faces of others, sometimes on the faces of those we love.
We know what those moments feel like.
Perhaps that was the secret of why Bettie connected with her audience in the ways in which she did.
Yes, she was beautiful, that was clear from the start. Beautiful in an iconic idealized, unattainable way when it came to real life for most. But we could recognize in those photographs moments that we ourselves had either cherished (for those so fortunate as to actually have lived such out,) or for those at the time, much more likely merely fantasized about.
Looking through the images today, one of the more interesting aspects of them is how contemporary the tools appear. So many of the same sorts of fetish items and tools were in use back then as well; laced up hobble skirts, arm-binders, hoods, leather corsets, furs, extreme heels and thigh high boots, metal fetters and shackles, chains, and clips, spreader bars, harnesses, leather gags and blindfolds, and of course, the ever present seductive lingerie.
Plenty of everyday household items make appearances as tools as well, plenty of rope and hairbrush spankings.
Another thing I find very striking about the images is that Bettie Page taught the world that yes, real Femmes can wield whips.
In a day and age where gender roles are so frequently broken down into Butch or Masculine being equated to "Dominant", and Femme or Feminine as equated to "submissive", it's remarkably refreshing to see images of a no-doubt-about-it Femme fatale not in the roles of "Service top" to a man, but as an active Mistress in her own right, secure in her own oh so Femme skin.
Which happily brings us to the obvious. Many of these were portrayals of womyn playing with other womyn- unapologetically so. While such clearly had much to do with the inner fantasy life of the (male) clientele, the interactions still portrayed possibilities.
For Queers such as myself, who discovered Bettie during her 'cult following' resurgence, these were some of the few images of womyn training, controlling, and "correcting" one another we had available to us that provided a sense of ourselves as having a form of a pre-existing historical yet fully modern context.
"Coming to Power" was first published in 1981, but by and large any form of organized Leather was in many ways still a male domain. Straightforward images of womyn "doing THINGS" to one another along these lines while certainly practiced, had very little imagery as fodder for fantasy.
You can only imagine my happiness at having discovered images of Bettie on her knees 'in service' as a Lady's maid, or of her lovingly domineering a bound and gagged female victim.
While these may have been images created for men, certainly the Lady's maid imagery implies a fantasy relationship wherein for even just a snapshot, the world narrows down to just these two womyn, a shared intimate moment, and a smile.
These images were important, not only to me, to other kinky and Leather womyn as well. They were more than fantasy material.
For S/switch womyn they held double meaning, did we want to submit to her or feel powerful and beautiful like her when we are in control. Did we empathize with her as the bound beauty or did we long to be with, and a possess a womyn like Bettie ourselves?
These were images that related to how we envisioned structuring our relationships, not of an occasional hot date on a Saturday night.
They had to do with both womyn we dreamed of sharing our lives with and at the same time, our own self images as womyn of Leather.
Unfortunately, unlike the fantasy world of the images themselves, and the aspects of womyn's sexualities portrayed in them, Bettie's own life experiences beyond the lens had a very great deal of sadness to it.
Her "real world" actions and religiosity cast a dark cloud over the photographs which had been at the time so important to me.
In the late 50's she underwent a religious conversion experience that ultimately aligned her with the very people who sought to stamp out the very things she herself had participated in. This led to a self imposed closeting, and later life fraught with contradictions.
(For more detail on some of the following see Chapter 10 of "The Real Betty Page" by Richard Foster. The book is well, the book, but this particular chapter does give an account, with many of the names and dates being useful.)
On New Year's eve 1958, she attended a service of what has now become the Key West Baptist Temple (At the time it was the "Latin American Baptist Temple." The preacher that night was Morris, or M.O. Wright. He had gotten his start in the jesus business after killing a man in a fatal car wreck. He was sentenced to a year in jail. While there, he got religion, and got his start by preaching at cellmates. )
Having been born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1923, and lived in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Betty found herself attracted to the interracial service.
Keep in mind this was America in 1958. The Civil Rights movement was in many ways in its early years. 1958 was after the Montgomery bus boycott and Little Rock, when President Eisenhower had called up the paratroopers to escort the nine black students to Central High, but well before the Freedom Riders, James Meredith, Medgar Evers, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act, the King assassination, etc.
She went on to be described as having had a "born-again" experience when she returned to the church and participated in the altar call the following week. (Not terribly long thereafter, in 1959, the English speaking growing portion of the congregation under Wright would go on to break away from the pre-existing Cuban and Spanish speaking congregation.)
When Bettie arrived at the Latin American Baptist Temple that night it was after an argument with her then husband, Armond Walterson, one of many such arguments, that ultimately led to the end of her marriage.
A series of misfortunes had struck her in the year before, from enduring a back injury that had left her in a wheelchair for four months to financial woes that led to her being evicted from her New Jersey storage space, the owner selling all her possessions including her modeling portfolio.
In a very real sense, she had come to a place of her past being gone, and her marriage being in a very real sense over. That night as she walked down White Street, she was at a moment of openness and vulnerability.
Evangelists often prey upon those who have as they like to put it, "come to the end of themselves." And Bettie was no exception.
Though she didn't speak about her past, she was incorporated into the religious infrastructure just as many "trophy converts" are. Wright counts the infamous Betty Page among his converts.
She worked full time for the Billy Graham organization, and while at Multnomah, one of several bible school programs she was involved with, (BIOLA, the Bible Institute of Los Angles, Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Multnomah School of the Bible, in Portland Oregon, and a christian retreat called "Bibletown" put on by the Boca Raton Community Church in Florida,) she volunteered at "The Louise Home" (a nonsectarian missionary proposition focused upon "unwed mothers".)
Also while at Multnomah she wanted to go to Africa as a missionary, but the Multnomah Mission board disqualified her for having divorced. She went on to briefly remarry her first husband, Billy Neal, which did lead to her being able to do missionary work, but that marriage was but one of her many that ended in divorce.
So why go into all this?
Well, I too have spent some long dark nights in Key West wandering down White Street towards the shore. Fortunately though, her story is most definitely not my story.
The Baptist Temple is out on Stock Island now, but it's still the local damnation awaits YOU "problem child."
They are, in short, the resident bat-shit homophobic church.
Wright can be counted onto make comments the likes of, for example, him having decided Key West's annual Halloween festival, Fantasy Fest, is "a revial of demonism and Babylonianism" and brings down the wrath of god upon Key West.
I'm not saying that Betty herself was anti-gay, merely that the preacher and church that she turned to based on her impression of its inclusiveness that was such an instrumental aspect of her conversion process, has gone on to be known for being anything but.
Betty did not talk about her former modeling career and the "naughty pictures" in her past, but clearly, if her newfound "friends" would reject her for having divorced, you can imagine what they would have thought of her had they known the full story at the time.
She embraced an identity that precluded her own history. Her quest for acceptance, while not invalidating her earlier life in any way, led to it being buried and lost to everyone except those few who perhaps having kept the pictures of the jet-haired beauty keeping memory itself alive.
A number of Bettie's later years were spent in mental hospitals under state supervision. She was finally released in 1992.
In one of the better summations of her life I've seen since her death, Peter Tupper on Beauty in Darkness: the history of BDSM described her as a "cipher," going on to explain:
"Maybe it's because she dropped out of public view before the sexual revolution really got going, and issues of sexual expression became politicized. She was an icon to a revolution that she didn't really participate in. A sex object without sexual politics, never a speaking subject."(Although as I'll mention below Bettie herself came to be a key example of politicized sexual expression due to the Congressional hearings.)
In the end, I don't know whether or not she ever understood how much she meant to the men who hid and kept her pictures, let alone the Queer womyn who later saw in them important reflections of our sexuality, self images, and desires.
The sexual abuse and poverty she endured may have made it difficult for her to look back on parts of her modeling days.
But certainly in recent years, she has been celebrated and as new generations have found her, they too have seen in those early pictures images of beauty, or strength, of power, and a womyn not ashamed of either her actions and interactions with other womyn, nor of her body.
Klaw and thereby Bettie were subjects of the notorious Kefauver Hearings (of the United States Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency.) She was called before Congress to explain the photographs but in the end was excused from testifying. Many of the negatives of the original prints were destroyed by court order.
Those that survived, survived by acts of both defiance and love.
They survived long enough for me to see myself, and the womyn I've loved in them. Long enough to provide a role model of sorts in today's kink community, that of a strong womyn of both whips and lace, a womyn whose otherwise invisible sexuality is outside of state sanction, and in relation to other womyn.
The images helped some of us see some of our desires reflected in an external culture, enacted by someone who despite her conversion experience did not feel regret over them
To quote Bettie herself, commenting on her pin-up career in a 1988 Playboy interview:
"I never thought it was shameful. I felt normal."In feeling "normal" before the cameras, she helped some of us feel a bit more "normal" as well.
When I look at her bondage pictures now, I take them at face value, as what they were at the time. Beyond a girl earning a living, they represent a moment in time, when the " Leather community" had more to do with a bunch of gay fellas riding motorcycles who had been home from WWII for a few years.
Finding such images as close as a web search to those who lived in that climate, is an undeniable quantifiable change, (and in many ways, simply beyond comprehension.)
These were "dangerous" images that came close to being destroyed forever. Those who would if they could are still with us, many of them wearing crosses around their necks.
While remembering the history, I try to look past those whose bigotry nearly led to the destruction of these images and Bettie's own embrace of Wright, hiding her past lest she no longer be considered part of the fold, and instead, look to all that I first saw in those images.
So so long, and thanks for the memories.
Nothing can negate those.

SEOUL – (CT&P) North Korea failed to launch two intermediate-range ballistic missiles on Thursday, the South Korean Defense Ministry said, adding to a string of unsuccessful weapons tests in the past two weeks.
The first attempted launch of the powerful Musudan missile crashed into the sea seconds after ignition. Hours after that attempt, North Korea fired another missile of the same type but that test also failed, the ministry said.
Thursday’s attempts bring the total failures in launching the Musudan — one of the North’s most powerful missiles deployed or under development — to three in the past two weeks, according to South Korean officials.
The successive failures are a potential embarrassment for North Korea’s obese and highly unstable leader, Kim Jong-un, just days before a rare congress of his ruling Workers’ Party, the North’s biggest political meeting in decades.
Pentagon officials said that the string of failures highlighted the fact that the North Koreans are a bunch of fucking morons that couldn’t find their asses with both hands.
USAF General Buck Turgidson told CNN that the North Koreans were “a race of idiots” who have trouble understanding how to operate a wheelbarrow properly, much less a rocket.
“You just can’t expect a bunch of ignorant peons to understand a machine like some of our boys can,” said Turgidson. “I really don’t understand why everyone is so worried about those people. Sure the Musudan is a powerful missile, but the biggest threat it poses is to the assholes who try to launch it. The last one spun around like a drunken sea-gull, crashed into the viewing stands, and killed over 100 North Korean generals. I mean fuck!”
Sources within the South Korean intelligence community say that North Korea is expected to try to launch another missile tomorrow after the proper number of army officers and technicians are eaten alive by ravenous Alsatians or executed with anti-aircraft artillery.

Firstly my block for Karrie-Lynn - Fresh Modern Bee.
We had to choose a half square triangle block for the sampler quilt she is creating. It took me forever to choose a block, then decide on my colour layout, but got there eventually and I think it has come together quite well. The fabrics were Make Life by Sweetwater for Moda which are gorgeous, so I needed to them justice.
Here is the block dry stone walling . . .
Next I finished my blocks for the Sewn Together Bee, July is Hollie's month and she is making a quilt for her fiancée so she has chosen "manly" fabrics! I started these blocks on Saturday but had a bad sewing day and couldn't finish them. My zig zag was puckering and no matter what I did I couldn't sort the tension, I ended up tinkering with my sewing machine and in a foul mood! Yesterday was far more successful and I finished them really quickly.
Now I just need to finish my swaps and I can sew something for me. I recently got City Quilts and Cherri's Tempest pattern and am dying to have a go with some of my solids from the shop. City Quilts is a fabulous book, I would highly recommend it!

It's as though summer is never ending in San Diego County. Triple-digit heat means better business for San Diego Ice Company.
Their operations manager, Anthony Toma, says they've been getting nonstop calls from restaurants, bars, and private vendors. Their factory runs 24/7 to load up bags and blocks of ice. A giant freezer set at around 25 degrees currently holds between 15,000 to 20,000 bags. Toma says it's pretty low for their usual inventory since they've been selling so fast.
"Heat wave, busy busy," said Toma. "All last minute things, people are crying for ice. They want a lot of ice. When heat comes, they all think about ice."
He says the heat can take a toll on some of their equipment because it's harder to keep their freezers cool.
"Equipment does work a lot harder as far as electrical components to refrigeration rooms, freezers, anything that has to do with reaction with the heat." said Toma. "It does work a lot harder and it is harder to maintain temperatures at this time."
Other businesses that saw an increase in customers were Rockie's Frozen Yogurt in Linda Vista and the Mission Bay Aquatic Center.

how about this?
hao = ok/good (romanized mandarin)
bu = no/not
hao bu hao = ok, not ok
but if used in conversation it is informal way to ask "how are you". something like ni hao bu hao (pronounced nee how boo how). more common is ni hao ma (pronounced nee how mah). I'm not Chinese. I'm trying to learn Mandarin. So, I could be all wrong...
so, I found this setup for the optic 6 on Ebay.
I don't need servo's, so I think this might fit the setup being described to me.
If someone can tell me if this an ok setup, I'll get it.

Are PID loops advantageous over FLC loops for this purpose? It seems that I haven't read anything about FLC loops being used yet in quadrocopters. Also, from your perspective, is there any advantage to utilizing faster processors that the Atmel family microcontrollers? I know AcendTec (X-BL-UFO) is going to be releasing a gyro board (OpenSourcePilot/FunPilot) based on a 60MHz, 32-bit ARM7. Up until then everything seems to have worked fine on 8-20MHz, 8-bit chips. With the additional processing power, is there any opportunity for more complex control loops that provide better stability? Or is stability for this application more related to the quality of the piezo elements and their resolution/quality?
Nice work so far. It's inspiring to see someone's work unfold and to learn how it's all put together.

sorry for digging up an old thread..
I'm also in the middle of building such a Quadrotor. I have a question about PWM Signals.
I decided to use PIC18F4431 to generate four PWM signals at 50MHz. In order to drive the speed controllers(I'm using TowerPro 25A s) we have to provide 5% - 10% duty cycle. Assuming that I'm using 40MHz crystal, the maximum resolution that I can go is around 150 steps.
(Fosc=40MHz, PreScale=64, Fpwm=50Hz --> PeriodReg = 3124
0% to 100% = 0 - 3124
5% to 10% = 156.2 - 312.4 (Zero rpm to Max rpm)
312-156 = 156 steps )
Means that I will only have around 150 different speeds of a motor which I think is not at all enough.
So I thought of writing a software PWM rather than using the hardware available. But even using a software PWM,it will be very hard to achieve 1000 steps. (Because single PIC have generate 4 PWM signals)
So now I'm ended up with the idea of using four small PICs just to generate the desired PWM signals. But I haven't seen any such design..
Could you please tell me what I have done wrong here?
How do Mk and other products generate PWM signals?
Thanks in advance..
|Sep 23, 2009, 09:33 AM|
Well, for one thing, I have never heard of an ESC that has more than 256 steps, so there is no real reason to output 1000.
The Quaduino only uses a little bit over 100 steps, and it flies very well.
You might want to look at outputting at a higher frequency though. Helps cut down on latency.

Owen Farrell This is one elegant item.
Danny Cipriani claims he would have had to “turn water into wine” to convince England coach Eddie Jones to include him in his Rugby World Cup squad.
Fly-half Cipriani, 31, was part of pre-tournament training camps but was dropped before the final 31-man selection was made.
Jones instead opted for Owen Farrell and George Ford as his fly-half options
“Going into a big competition I would’ve had to turn water into wine to really sway him,” said Cipriani.
Despite being named as the Premiership’s player of the season for his performances with Gloucester last term, Cipriani has only made two international appearances since Jones took charge at the start of 2016.
Asked if he had a fair chance to press his case for World Cup selection, Cipriani
