Batik is a traditional Indonesian fabric dyeing technique that uses wax resist to create patterns on fabric. The wax is applied to the fabric using a special tool called a tjanting, and the cloth is then dipped in dye.
When the wax is removed, the dye beneath it is left intact, resulting in a distinctive pattern. Batik fabrics are often used to make sarongs, shirts, and other garments.
One of the most important aspects of batik is the choice of wax used for the resist. Beeswax is often used as it allows for fine lines and intricate details.
However, other types of wax can also be used, including paraffin and soy wax. The wax type will affect the batik fabric’s final appearance.
The dye used for batik can also vary depending on the desired effect. Traditional batik uses natural dyes made from plants and minerals, though synthetic dyes are sometimes used.
Batik fabrics are typically hand-dyed, though machine-dyed fabrics are also available. Hand-dyed fabrics have a more irregular and authentic appearance, while machine-dyed fabrics have a more uniform look.
Machine-dyed fabrics are usually less expensive than hand-dyed fabrics, but they may not have the same level of detail or richness of color.
When choosing a batik fabric, it is important to consider the intended use for the fabric. Batik fabrics are available in a wide range of weights and textures, so choosing suitable fabric for the intended use is important. For example, lighter-weight batik fabrics may be better suited for shirts or sarongs, while heavier-weight fabrics may be better suited for curtains or upholstery.
Batik set usually consist 5 things which are peci (traditional hat), kain panjang (sarong), kain melam (baju kurung/ blouse), jubah (outer robe) dan selendang (scarf). Nowadays you can find many modern twists on batik clothes such as crop top, long dress and even boot!
You can wear them on any occasion! Not only made from clothes but also many artworks created from bat proses such as painting or 3D arts. Created by the talented artists out there waiting to be purchased by you!
You can find them online or offline, depending on where you live! If you ever go to Indonesia, don’t forget to buy some souvenirs in the form of a Batik! It’ll be worth your money!

In situ synthesis of Zn2GeO4 hollow spheres and their enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of antibiotic metronidazole
In this study, Zn2GeO4 hollow spheres were successfully fabricated by a template-engaged approach using zinc hydroxide carbonate (Zn4CO3(OH)6·H2O, ZHC) spheres as the template. During the hydrothermal process, Zn2+ dissolved from the surface of the ZHC spheres could rapidly react with the HGeO3− in solution and the Zn2GeO4 outer shell was formed in situ. Moreover, the building units of the Zn2GeO4 hollow spheres could gradually transform from the nanoparticles into nanobundles with the increase of the reaction time. The photocatalytic degradation results indicate that the Zn2GeO4 hollow spheres exhibited high photocatalytic activity and excellent stability for the degradation of antibiotic metronidazole in solution. Finally, the radical species involved in the degradation process have been investigated by using the scavenger experiments.

JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL, Va. - In the past three weeks, a plethora of individuals representing professional sport leagues have visited Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.
The evening of April 28, National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell was a guest of honor at a Salute From the Chief Twilight Tattoo. The NFL was again represented on base May 9 when Carolina Panthers Thomas Davis and Ryan Kalil met and greeted servicemembers at the Honor Guard Lounge.
May 12, it was the District of Columbia's professional soccer team's turn to offer some goodwill as a fifth of the D.C. United soccer club roster offered encouragement and tips to the sport's next generation of fans and players.
The soccer clinic, part of Armed Forces Week, included 31 kids from JBM-HH's Child, Youth and School Services program and six local MLS players, who trotted with and instructed 99 children on the nuances of footwork, dribbling and goalkeeping at the JBM-HH athletic field. Called a "unique event" by D.C. United Marketing Manager Andrew Minucci, the clinic was just one of a pair of soccer events CYSS kids and their families were able to enjoy during the week. Mothers, fathers and guardians who attended the clinic received the opportunity to obtain tickets to D.C. United's Armed Forces game against the Montreal Impact scheduled for May 17.
"This was great because it is military appreciation week and it is leading up to the game on Saturday," said School of Knowledge, Inspiration, Exploration and Skills (SKIES) Youth Sports and Fitness Director Annette Engum. "The kids get the clinic and the parents get a day out with the family."
At four separate skill stations, kids ranging from pre-school age to pre-teenager watched, listened and drilled with the likes of D.C. United goalkeeper Bill Hamid and midfielder Collin Martin. Both Hamid and Martin are home-grown, local team stars. Martin is a Chevy Chase native and played high school soccer at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, while Hamid was born and raised in Alexandria.
Hamid spoke of the importance of giving back to the military.
"I'm very patriotic...it means a lot to come out here and spend some time with the kids from the area," Hamid said following the clinic. "I understand the meaning behind wanting to spend time with a professional athlete. I also like to give out some good vibes and to teach them some soccer."
At the conclusion of the hour-long, skills-teaching session, kids were treated to an autograph session with Hamid, Martin and fellow D.C. United players Nick DeLeon, defender Nana Attakora, striker Luis Silva and 2014 D.C. United draft pick Steven Birnbaum.

The new film Sin City: A Dame to Die For won’t be the only project to transfer Frank Miller’s stark noir tales from the comic page to the screen. In fact, that film may be swiftly followed by a new Sin City TV show.
Harvey Weinstein, like many other producers, has started to see TV as the safest medium in which to earn a few bucks. “The way to add stability to the company is to be in the television business,” he recently told the New York Times, elaborating that he wants a TV division “as powerful as the theatrical division.” With many a mention of the limited earnings potential of standalone films, which “may fade without creating spinoffs and sequels,” what we see is inspiration from others who are trying to use movies as a way to bring audiences to TV.
So among the offerings the Weinsteins are trying to assemble are the Sin City show, and also a new limited series based on The Mist.
Some of the shows from Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein (the latter working from the Dimension library) include, as mentioned to the New York Times:
- 10-espisode The Mist show, with involvement from Frank Darabont.
- Sin City TV series, designed to quickly follow the theatrical sequel, with involvement from Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez.
- Silver Linings Playbook show, with involvement from August: Osage County creator Tracy Letts.
- 10-episode 10 Commandments series, with Lee Daniels, Madonna, Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station) and Wes Craven mentioned as possible directors.
- 10-episode detective drama set in ancient Egypt called Book of the Dead.
- Marco Polo, a “martial arts-filled adventure series” for Netflix.
- 14- episode War and Peace adaptation.
- BBC show Stan and Ollie, focusing on the Laurel and Hardy towards the end of their careers.
- An “Entourage-like” comedy “based loosely on the adventures of the celebrity chef Michael Chiarello.”
There are more — some reality shows, and other titles imported from the UK and Italy — as well as the previously-announced Scream show.
All of these seem to be in the planning stages, but with Sin City: A Dame To Die For set for a August 22, 2014 release, there’s less than a year to go before the idea of following that film with a TV series could come to fruition. So we’ll likely hear more about the Weinstein TV plans soon.Cool Posts From Around the Web:


Clearing the Certification isn’t considered to be that much easy, you have to go through rigorous training and lots of PMI PBA Dumps would be needed to go through unless you have some expertise training courses like such offered at the ExamClubs.
Samsung hopes the new Galaxy S8 and S8+ will put the dubious history of the Galaxy S7 behind it. And it may just pull it off. This Android smartphone is a good looking device, but it’s also pretty smart. It may just be the next essential business tool for your company. The unlocked S8 is available on Amazon and Best Buy, and the same goes for the unlocked S8 Plus.
The curved front of the Galaxy S8 is stunning. The S8 measures 5.9 x 2.7 x 0.3 inches and weighs 5.5 ounces, and the S8+ is 6.3 x 2.9 x 0.3 inches and weighs 6.1 ounces. That makes both devices a bit taller and thinner than the S7 and the S7+. Perhaps most useful is that the design is both water and dust resistant. It comes in Midnight Black, Coral Blue, Maple Gold, Orchid Gray and Arctic Silver.
A virtual home button replaces the previous physical button, and it provides a bit of haptic feedback so you know your input has registered. We wish the company hadn’t moved the fingerprint reader to the backside, where it sits close to the camera.
Ultra-Rugged Design Options
While the classic Samsung Galaxy S8 is plenty sturdy for most business users, Samsung also makes a rugged version of the smartphone called the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active. The metal framed version of the S8 Active sports a shatter-proof design that’s also water and dust resistant, which is perfect for active outdoorsy types as well as people who work in industrial settings. This version of the phone is constructed with military grade materials for maximum durability and features a comfortable slip-proof back cover for easy handling in all weather.
The rugged Samsung Galaxy S8 Active is currently available through AT&T exclusively, but Samsung plans on rolling out the device to other carriers soon. Bottom line, the S8 Active is a great solution for the business user who wants seamless technology in a tough little package.
The bezel-free, 5.8-inch screen on the S8 with have you doing double takes. It offers 83 percent more screen-to-body ratio. The S8+’s screen is 6.2 inches. Both AMOLED displays offer sharp, quad-HD+ resolution (2960 x 1440). The screens also support HDR (high dynamic range) content for better color quality.
In the U.S, the Galaxy S8 includes a powerful new Snapdragon 835 processor with 4GB of RAM. It includes 64GB of storage, which is double what came on the S7. It also still sports a microSD card slot so you can add more storage, up to 256GB. Those specs should add up to great processing power for getting real work done on the go.
We would be discussing the ways for clearing. I would suggest you focus on the below-mentioned resources and also check out the PMI RMP Dumps offered at the ExamClubs, they are the best when it comes to Certifications Vendor.
The S8 packs a 3,000-mAh battery, while the S8+ has a 3,500-mAh battery. On tests run by our sister site, Tom's Guide, the S8+ lasted an impressive 11 hours and 4 minutes on a charge while the S8 lasted 10:39. Both phones support wireless and wired fast charging via USB Type-C. Because the new Snapdragon chip is more power efficient, that should add up to some impressive battery life. Samsung will be watched closely when it comes to that battery. But the company promises it’s rolling out an 8-point safety check to ensure the S7 Note’s exploding battery doesn’t come back.
In addition to Android’s powerful 7.0 Nougat operating system, Samsung added its new Bixby assistant. It’s designed to step in when speaking makes more sense than tapping. But it can be controlled via voice, touch or text. It offers personalized help based on what it learns about your interests, situation and location. It can handle 15,000 tasks, according to Samsung. Samsung hopes Bixby will be even more powerful than Siri or Alexa.
Bixby Vision is an app that leverages the phone’s camera. If you point the camera at an object, the app will provide contextual information. For instance, you can look up wine ratings or the prices for books. Samsung says it plans to add more partners over time.
Both the S8 and S8+ are built on the Samsung Knox platform. The company says it’s a defense-grade security platform. You can also use the camera to unlock the phone with your iris. Plus the fingerprint scanner, while inconveniently placed, will help keep all your sensitive business data safe.
Samsung DeX Credit: Samsung
With the new DeX dock, the Galaxy S8 can double as a full-fledged computer. You simply plug the phone into the dock’s USB Type-C connector, and connect the dock to a monitor. You’ll see a desktop-like interface with a dedicated app tray and notification area. It can handle support for a mouse and keyboard. It also handles right clicks and keyboard shortcuts.
The Android OS can already support multitasking, allowing you to run two apps at once. But DeX means you have more real estate. Some third-party apps have been optimized, like Microsoft Office and Adobe Lightroom. But the highest resolution it supports in a monitor is 1080p.
Samsung Premium Care comes standard with both the Galaxy S8 and S8+ for free for the first 30 days. It offers one-on-one, 24/7 technical support and assistance. They can help you set up the device, teach you how to use it and they will replace your phone if something goes wrong.
Other Special Features
Samsung added the Samsung Connect app, which helps your phone to control smart home devices. For instance, you can bright your office with Philips Hue lights or remotely start your robot vacuum. It can also control Samsung devices such as the Samsung Connect Home, which is a Wi-Fi router and SmartThings hub.
Buy the Samsung Galaxy S8 on Amazon.com
Acquiring the certification isn’t going to be an easy task, but if you have the expertise help of the PMI SP Dumps offered at the ExamClubs, you would be able to achieve it in a single attempt.

MONTEVIDEO – Close to 400 inmates tried to escape from a prison outside Montevideo during a massive brawl between two groups of inmates, the daily Ultimas Noticias said on Saturday.
The incident required the intervention of an elite National Police unit known as the GEO, which rushed to help the 15 prison guards on duty when the fight broke out, and which ended with one seriously injured convict being taken to a local hospital.
Why the brawl started is still unknown, according to the daily, though penitentiary officials quoted in the newspaper believe it was due to the overcrowded living conditions inside the jail.
Apparently it all began when some 60 inmates belonging to two different gangs started a fight in the prison courtyard, several of them armed with knives they had made themselves in jail.
As the battle unfolded, another 400 inmates who were in the courtyard at the time tried to get away by opening one of the prison gates amid all the confusion.
The intervention of prison guards and their reinforcements from several local police stations and the GEO, who cordoned off the outside of the prison, kept the jailbreak from succeeding.
Friday afternoon a search of the Comcar prison on the outskirts of Montevideo led to the seizure of a grenade, almost 1/2 kilo (1 pound 2 ounces) of marijuana, 35 knives and 30 liters (6 1/2 gallons) of homemade alcohol.
In the same prison less than 10 days ago the authorities found a grenade, a handgun and more than 200 knives.
Human rights are “systematically violated” in Uruguayan prisons due to the degrading conditions and overcrowding in which the inmates live, according to a recent report published by the United Nations.
The miserable conditions make inmate riots and protests a common occurrence.
The government announced in April of last year a plan to immediately combat overcrowding in jails, which included the transfer of 1,250 prisoners to new detention centers set up in government buildings including barracks and hospitals.
According to 2007 figures – the latest available – Uruguay’s prison population totals about 8,000 inmates.
Despite being one of the countries in the region with the lowest crime rates, Uruguay has one of the highest rates in the world of people behind bars, according to United Nations figures.

The proposed design is to make contactless machinery parts to reduce wear and tear and also to create air lift in an efficient way.
In conventional helicopters huge wings create drop of pressure at the top and atmospheric pressure acting on small portion of the body lifts the body up creating a lift. This process consumes lot of energy making it a highly inefficient process.
The design proposed makes it simple just by using a cylinder and a piston.

There are many different types of effective home exercise equipment available, but it can be difficult to know which is best to develop certain areas of the body and certain aspects of of fitness. Therefore, I thought I would write up a little something that may help you with this…
What different types of effective home exercise equipment are there?
- Cross Trainers – Most cross trainers offer users a quality and efficient total body, low-impact workout. Unlike most cardio equipment, cross trainers target a variety of muscles around the body, such as your quads, calves, biceps, triceps, and even your core.
- Treadmills – Treadmills focus completely on the cardiovascular system and the lower part of the body. Whether you’re running, jogging, or just walking, it’ll raise the heart rate and provide a brilliant way of burning those excess calories, whilst also increasing cardiovascular endurance.
- Rowing Machines (or Rowers) – Like the cross trainer, rowing machines provide a workout that work a range of muscles around the body such as the legs, arms and even the core due to the rowing motion. Good for an all over body workout, losing calories and all round fat.
- Exercise Bikes (or Spin Bikes) – Get the legs pumping and the heart beating on an exercise bike. When working on an exercise bike, whether it be an upright bike, a recumbent bike, or a spin bike, you will work hamstrings, calves, hip flexors, and quadriceps, as well as significantly increasing stamina and muscular endurance.
Kettler Unix PX Cross Trainer
The Kettler Unix PX Cross Trainer provides users with a quality full body workout, whilst at the same time being easy on the joints, almost providing users with a zero impact workout experience. This machine comes with 8 training programmes that feature target zone training, as well as pulse recovery to help keep your workouts varied and to keep you motivated. The Unix PX also has 15 levels of resistance using a magnetic brake system, so you can easily control the intensity of your workouts. This makes it great for all levels of fitness.
This cross trainer from Kettler comes at an amazingly affordable price of just £999.
Kettler Atmos Pro Treadmill
The Kettler Atmos Pro Treadmill is the perfect solution for users who are looking to get fit or keep fit, but all in the comfort of their own homes. Although this treadmill is designed to be used at home, it has an awesome commercial grade AC motor, meaning that it can withstand even the heaviest of uses throughout the day, and will still last you a long time. In addition to that, it also comes with a very sophisticated computer display that will help you easily keep track of your progression and performance. For that extra challenge, or to add variety to your runs to avoid boredom, you can also take advantage of the incline adjustment and different speed levels.
It comes at a price of just £999, which is amazing considering its advanced features.
Kettler Coach M Rowing Machine
The Kettler Coach M Rowing Machine has been specifically designed to be longer in length. This provides users with a more beneficial workout, as it allows them to take longer strokes. Legs, back, and core get the full workout they need, due to the 10 resistance settings, letting you progress at your own speed. This rowing machine has a 6kg flywheel that runs smoothly for less impact on joints, while the foot plate and padded board offer rope pulley strength exercises, making it a very good choice for any home gym.
At a fantastic price of £599, you honestly cannot go wrong with this rowing machine.
Kettler Racer 9 Spin Bike
The Kettler Racer 9 is an awesome spin bike, with some quality features that ensures you get awesome value for your money. A heavy 18kg flywheel ensures a smooth and solid feel whilst you’re pedalling, and unlike any other spinner bike on the market, this one has a gear shifter that provides you with a more realistic cycling feel. It also means that changing the intensity and resistance of your workouts just got even easier! The easy to use computer display shows pulse, watts, time, and much more key data to help track your body fitness and performance during exercise.
At £1499 you really cannot go wrong with this choice of exercise bike, which is really well built with the customer in mind.

Thousands of people were affected by the Great Flood of 2016, leaving many without homes, personal belongings or school clothes for their children. St. Amant Fire Chief James LeBlanc created a project to give children in Ascension Parish who were affected by the August flood a sweatshirt to stay warm for the winter.
The Ascension Sweatshirt Project was an idea that started nearly a month ago when LeBlanc and St. Amant Middle School Principal Christy Bourgeois found out that roughly 30 children at the school did not have the means to receive a sweatshirt, as most of their belongings had been destroyed.
"A sweatshirt is not on the agenda," LeBlanc said. "When you flood and you lose everything you own, the last thing you are thinking about is buying a sweatshirt."
The Ascension Constable said he planned to bring the children sweatshirts, but was informed that many other students in the area were in need as well. He contacted the Ascension Parish School Board to find out how many students at St. Amant Primary, St. Amant Middle, Galvez Primary, Galvez Middle, Lake Primary and Lake Middle were also affected.
The school board reached out to the six affected schools, and LeBlanc said he was not prepared for what he heard. In the impacted schools, 3,391 children were without school sweatshirts.
"This thing blossomed into one of the biggest projects you could ever think of. When it started out it wasn't going to be that way. It was just going to be James LeBlanc from the Constable's Office is going to go buy 25 sweatshirts and bring it to St. Amant Middle School and then the project is going to be over with. I was already committed to the project - once I'm committed to the project, I am going to finish it."
Upon hearing the massive need for sweatshirts, LeBlanc shared a post to his Facebook page asking for donations and sponsors to help with the project, as it grew from a $100 project to a $16,000 project in a matter of days.
"People just started coming out of the woodworks. This is a large community effort from a lot of people. One thing that I know about Ascension Parish, when you start talking about taking care of kids, everyone wants to get on board."
Some of the contributors to the cause was Volunteer Ascension, BASF, Eatel, Glenn Dorsey - a former East Ascension High School football player who plays for the 49ers, and dozens of individual members not only from Ascension Parish, but others parishes and out of state residents as well.
"It's just amazing how many parents that I don't know, how many kids that I don't know, that have been coming up to me in the last two weeks saying you are not even going to believe how you impacted my child's life when he came home today with a brand new sweatshirt. You wouldn't think that a sweatshirt would affect a child so much."
Now that the sweatshirts have been distributed to elementary and middle school students, LeBlanc said he is working on a way to raise funds to help the 2,300 high school students from St. Amant High and East Ascension High School who were affected as well.
The $16,000 for the first phase of the project has not yet been met, though organizers are almost very close to meeting the goal.
"In my 30 year career as a fire chief, it turned out to be one of the best, heartwarming projects that I have ever been involved in, and I have been involved in a lot of them," LeBlanc said. "Our hearts are completely shattered, but our faith is still strong."

The Philadelphia Eagles have started the season 1-2 amid several injuries and inconsistent play in the secondary. The quarterback play has been the least of the Eagles problems, and according to Pro Football Focus, Carson Wentz has played like a top-five signal caller through three weeks.
After week three, Wentz now ranks third behind Tom Brady and the Cowboys Dak Prescott.
3. CARSON WENTZ, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Armed with the best weapons in the league on paper coming into the year, Wentz has not had the same supporting cast we expected to see. Injuries have depleted a deep receiving corps, though they showed flashes of big-play ability in Week 1. Wentz has been better than his stats would show, mostly due to four big-time throws falling incomplete compared to just 17 such instances for the rest of the NFL. Wentz ranks fifth in the league in big-time throw percentage, and he’s tied for third with a 92.9 grade on throws targeted 10 or more yards downfield.
If not for several dropped balls and having to play without his two main offensive weapons, Wentz could be looking at an even higher ranking. The Seahawks Russell Wilson and the Texans DeShaun Watson rounded out the top-five. The NFL’s reigning MVP, Patrick Mahomes, landed at No. 6 on the list.


Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has been confirmed as Holland’s new captain by coach Ronald Koeman.
The former Southampton and Everton boss takes charge of his first match as Oranje boss when England arrive for a friendly in Amsterdam on Friday.
Ahead of the match, Koeman has confirmed Van Dijk – a player he worked with at St Mary’s – as his new captain.
“To be named international captain of Holland is very special and does a lot for me,” Van Dijk said.
“It’s going to be very special. Against England is a little bit more special.”

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel united in their Big Apple hometown. It was the the 1950’s and their initial impact was minimal and as a result the double act were on-off partners for several years. The pair released a few singles – to little effect and their debut album, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M, came out in October 1964 selling a mere 3,000 copies. However, the BBC picked up on the folk duo and that connection set their blaze to glory alight. They recorded a BBC session which was broadcast soon thereafter across the nation. At the start of 1967 Simon & Garfunkel had gained fame and continued to prosper until their final album together Bridge Over Troubled Water. The set on offer catches stellar moments across 27 tracks, 65 minutes and the period 1965-1970. This is a collection from the BBC with particular highlights from Manchester and London concerts. Stellar artists making stellar recordings during a stellar era. Hello diligence my old friend…..


M12 Steel with LED: New Design for an Old Concept
Integrated LEDs are often difficult to see because they are small and not very bright. Murrelektronik's M12 Steel solves this problem. Our integrated LED wraps around the base and lights up the complete cable seal. The luminous area is ten times bigger than that of a conventionally integrated LED. This makes the light easy to see even from far away.
The placement of the LED guarantees that the M12 Steel connector is sealed. This makes it especially suitable for applications in the food and beverage industry. Many stainless steel sensors are offered without LEDs because of sealing problems. With the M12 Steel with LED, now it’s possible to check the switching state in applications close to the operating area.
M12 Steel is fully potted and made of corrosion resistant V4A stainless steel. It meets the requirements of IP65, IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection and it successfully passed the ECOLAB test. Murrelektronik's M12 Steel with LED is available as 4-pole model with PVC and TPE-S cable material, all in standard lengths from 1.5 up to 10 meters.

Strawberry Margarita Jam
What could be better than 'eating' a strawberry margarita for breakfast?!? On toast of course! And don't worry, the alcohol burns off during the cooking process.
Do not use a food processor to crush the strawberries or you will get puree and the jam will not have a good texture. Use a potato masher.

We speak to Jamie Burston, winner of the David Streeter Award
Academic ecologist and founder member of the Sussex Wildlife Trust David Streeter MBE spent much of his career encouraging an interest in natural history amongst young people. After stepping down as Sussex Wildlife Trust President in 2017, an annual award was set up in his name, which has the purpose of supporting a young person making an outstanding contribution to conservation in Sussex.
The first David Streeter Award winner is wildlife artist Jamie Burston, so we speak to him about what the award means to him:
Tell us a bit about yourself
I grew up in Brighton and still live here, in Hollingbury, with the South Downs National Park on my doorstep. My parents nurtured my interest in wildlife, whilst we spent time in our garden. I vividly remember a row of nasturtium plants, covered in Large White caterpillars. The fragrance of nasturtiums takes me back to that moment. A key part of my childhood was visiting rock pools at Ovingdean Gap. This sparked my young imagination to wonder what creatures might live there.
What does nature and conservation mean in your life now?
Nature can be what you need it to be. To me, it is freedom, being present in the moment, finding peace of mind, and a form of escapism. Right now I'm re-connecting with nature, having taken time away, due to poor mental health. I love the thrill of the challenge, the unexpected - and the discoveries that come with it. More than anything, nature is about sharing experiences with friends.
Conservation is about collaboration. I've collaborated on projects with or advised the Sussex Wildlife Trust, Butterfly Conservation - Sussex Branch, South Downs National Park Authority, National Trust, Seaford Tree Wardens, local councils, schools and colleges.
Collaborating with partners can elevate the impact of the conservation work you do, through practical habitat management to sharing knowledge. I did all this as a volunteer, and there's nothing stopping anyone else doing the same.
How did you come to develop a particular interest in the White-letter Hairstreak butterfly?
I went to a Butterfly Conservation-led guided walk, which introduced me to the White-letter Hairstreak butterfly. I discovered the species has a special connection to where I live - which is within the National Elm Collection of Brighton and Hove. The White-letter Hairstreak is an under-recorded species in Sussex and its life-cycle is sparsely documented. So I found a study site and closely observed the hairstreak's life-cycle for three years, picking up valuable knowledge and insight into their behaviour, including how they use their host elm tree. The outcome, hosted by Butterfly Conservation - Sussex Branch, is here.
I dedicated time to surveying, finding and recording new colonies on the many local street elm trees. It was an exciting challenge, seeing the adult butterflies in the elm canopy and close up, taking nectar from flowers. I was charmed by their unique character and personality.
Then, I asked myself 'What can I do to conserve the species, and what is causing its decline?'
I realised that the impact of habitat loss from Dutch Elm Disease was at the forefront of their decline. I did my own research and befriended some of the UK's leading authorities in the research of disease-resistant elm varieties. This knowledge gave me a strong foundation to propose a conservation project based on research, observations and facts.
Tell us a bit more about your project.
The project saw 550 disease-resistant elm trees planted across 550 acres of the Lancing College Estate, to support existing populations of the White-letter Hairstreak butterfly within the local Adur valley landscape. What developed was exciting, a project which opened up opportunities to local children and people from all backgrounds and abilities to get involved in conservation and connect with nature.
Many schools, colleges and local community groups contributed their time to the project, planting elm whips and receiving educational classes on the natural history of the White-letter Hairstreak butterfly and elm trees, allowing them to feel more connected to their local landscape.
Two of the three elm varieties used in the project originate from Spain, as the effects of climate change were taken into consideration, with drier growing conditions forecast in the south-east region, where they have a better chance of adapting to changing temperatures.
This project was only possible due to collaboration and there were many people who supported and worked with me.
It is just of one of a number of projects I've been involved in, including one working with Michael Blencowe and Nikki Hills from Sussex Wildlife Trust, gaining public engagement to record the White-letter Hairstreak butterfly on elm trees in Seaford.
How did you feel when you heard you'd been given the David Streeter Award?
I was shocked but also honoured, especially as other people wanted my volunteer work to be recognised in such a way. Then to discover I was to be the very first recipient of the award was a great surprise.
Which 'prize' did you choose?
The gift vouchers for the Natural History Book Service website. I have my eye on a Moth Trap and Bat Detector.
Who are your heroes?
Greta Thunberg is inspiring for many reasons. However, my real personal heroes are the people that I've got to know from the age of 16, through 10 years of volunteering in conservation, who have become friends. It's these friends in conservation, and their support, that has propelled me to where I am today. It's a team effort, we inspire each other.
Friends are the best kind of heroes in your life and I'm lucky to have a very supportive family in all that I do. The dedication of volunteers is heroic, and without them, conservation work wouldn't be able to function.
What's your favourite place to see wildlife?
Roedale Valley Allotments in Brighton. I manage a plot on site, primarily for butterflies but it caters for a wider range of wildlife. It is when I survey or explore the whole allotment that you see how rich and beneficial allotments can be as a habitat for supporting biodiversity. You see a whole host of wildlife, from small containers of water supporting frogs, to damselflies and dragonflies. Reptiles like Common Lizard bask openly if you are cautious. Birds are surprisingly approachable and there is always something new to see. Bees and butterflies live and breed on the allotment, it is the only place I've seen a Brimstone butterfly be dwarfed in size by a large Cardoon flower. Or an Adonis Blue butterfly settling amongst a bed of onions, it gives a sense of the surreal.
As darkness draws in you're joined by bats, Common Pipistrelles boldly fly within just a few feet of your face. I have no favourite season or time of day to visit the allotment, I enjoy what nature has to offer, as and when I see it.
Do you have any future plans you're happy to share?
Earlier this year I shared with my friends that I was gay. When I mentioned this on social media, I received overwhelming support and a sense of there being a wider awareness and visibility of LGBTQ+ people in conservation, with other people reaching out to me, forming new friendships. This gave me the idea to lead a guided walk in Brighton, openly inclusive to LGBTQ+ people, I plan to do this in 2020, themed around my knowledge of butterflies and the White-letter Hairstreak.
What would you say to a young person who might be interested in conservation but not sure how to go about doing something?
It might not be obvious, but conservation can start at home, I've seen first-hand that if you allow or provide for nature, the benefits will be seen. Knowledge is power, you could start by looking and recording what wildlife is in your garden or local area, this way you can discover what you are passionate about. Joining conservation groups in activities can greatly help you to build self-confidence, gain knowledge and learn practical skills through volunteering, which you can then apply at home or elsewhere. Let your passion lead you and make sure you're having fun, whilst challenging yourself to try things, it might just surprise you how suited you are to new activities.

Concrete Tests – Part 2KOT ENGENHARIA
The last article published on KOT’s Blog covered concepts such as: concrete, building pathologies, ultrasonic, tomography and pacometry for concrete structures.
This paper aims to discuss the following tests for concrete structures:
- Axial compressive strength;
Sclerometer is a non-destructive test that measures concrete surface hardness, providing evaluation elements for the quality of hardened concrete. The equipment used is the reflection sclerometer.
The evaluation of surface hardness by reflection sclerometer consists of measuring and correlating the elastic energy conserved after the impact of a semispherical tip rod against the test area. This energy is usually presented in terms of the sclerometric index.
Sclerometer in practice
Basically, the several values measured during the concrete tests are registered, tabulated and used to calculate the final sclerometric index. With the proper statistical treatment, the final sclerometric index is used to correlate the characteristic compressive strength of the concrete tested.
Therefore, as mentioned before, in addition to concrete ultrasonic tests, sclerometry is particularly interesting for large and/or responsible structures commissioning, as are the cases of:
- Equipment support, such as crushers, silos, mills, etc..
Due to its simplicity and execution speed, pacometry can also be used to determine regions to be further investigated by more precise methods.
Extensometry and Accelerometry
Extensometry and accelerometry are commonly used to monitor the structural response to the set of actions that they are subjected to.
In structural calculation practice, stresses and strains can be obtained through the idealization of certain structural behaviors, the estimation of acting loads and knowledge of the material under analysis. These and other assumptions are also adopted for the computational representation of structures with Finite Element Method.
In this context, when needs arise about one of these factors, extensometry and accelerometry are some of the tools available to evaluate the real structural response of the asset. In general, they can be applied to concrete test when:
- You want to evaluate the structural behavior under a given load;
- You want to know the magnitude and behavior of a load over a certain period of time;
- You need to monitor the structural response to a special or exceptional action;
- You want to monitor the structural response to actions arising from its operation, as occurs in SHM.
In addition to the mentioned cases, the possibility of monitoring speeds, displacements, and structural defects, such as crack, makes it possible to know changes in the structural behavior and to raise the alarm about non-compliance with normative ultimate or service limit states. This last case is especially interesting for:
- Structures that support vibrating processes where the dynamic response of the assembly (equipment and structure) impairs the mechanical performance or causes damage to the structure;
- Bridges, overpasses, footbridges and structures where user discomfort is particularly relevant and needs to be monitored.
Figure 7 shows an example of the application of these methodologies for monitoring a structure of great responsibility.
Regarding other structural materials, extensometry in concrete pieces must be evaluated according to the material’s inhomogeneity, mechanical behavior of the reinforced pieces and the type of action or phenomenon to be investigated.
If you are interested in learning more about these methods and their applications, be sure to check out our blog series on extensometry and accelerometry:
- Basic Principles of Strain Gauges – Part 1;
- Basic Principles of Strain Gauges – Part 2;
- The basic principles of the use of accelerometers.
Axial compressive strength in specimens
Although estimated by non-destructive testing methods, the definition of concrete characteristic compressive strength in service occurs through the direct extraction of concrete samples from the structure. In this context, a concrete piece with standardized cross section, when broken in a press, allows the direct obtention of the stress at which failure occurs.
According to the applicable Brazilian standards, the definition of axial compressive strength in cores is useful in concrete testing for:
- Final acceptance of concrete in case of non-conformity of concrete compressive strength;
- Evaluation of structural safety of construction works in progress;
- Verification of structural safety in existing constructions, considering changes of use, accidents, partial collapse and other situations in which the compressive strength of concrete must be known.
Ideally, in addition to non-destructive concrete test results, compressive strength results are desirable to improve the overall understanding of the structure. Another advantage associated with core extraction is the availability of material for carbonation, contamination and concrete durability testing.
One of the risks associated with this process is piece embrittlement due to loss of section or reinforcement bar cutout. Thus, to prevent the irrecoverable embrittlement of the pieces, it is necessary to know the structural behavior complemented by pacometry tests. Figure 8 exemplifies the test specimen extraction procedure.
Carbonation front depth
Concrete carbonation results from the action of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) on hydrated cement. Among other factors, this phenomenon culminates in the reduction of concrete pH to values below 9, hydrogen concentration from which it becomes possible the onset of corrosion of the reinforcement bars of the structure, also known as depassivation.
The carbonation speed is a function of the carbon dioxide concentration in the environment, the porosity of the concrete and the presence of cracks in the piece. Beyond these factors, estimating the period required for reinforcement depassivation requires knowledge of the cover (concrete layer that covers the reinforcement) of the pieces. Figure 9 exemplifies the mechanism discussed.
Given this discussion, the knowledge of the carbonation front depth becomes interesting because the applicable set of standards understands by service life the period of time during which the structure maintains certain characteristics and does not require significant interventions.
Being one of the predominant deterioration mechanisms related to reinforcement, depassivation by carbonation of reinforcement is undesirable and difficult to recover.
In summary, the knowledge of the carbonation front depth in the structure becomes relevant since the depassivation by carbonation of the reinforcement indicates one of the references for the service life of concrete structures. Figure 10 presents results for this type of evaluation.
The correct interpretation of the anomaly manifestation mechanisms presented by concrete structures allows the safe operation and maintenance of the asset throughout its life cycle. In this process, concrete tests allow the best characterization of defects and their manifestation mechanisms.
For the diagnostic process it is also important to note the complementary role that several of these methodologies have between them and the need to understand the limitations and applications at the time of their choice.
Finally, as mentioned throughout the text, structural analysis and detailed visual inspection are also indispensable tools in this process. In this sense, KOT Engenharia has a team of specialists trained to interpret, perform and develop appropriate engineering solutions to boost your results.

SSL/TLS, the "wrong version number" is a bit of a red-herring, an
SMTP banner is misreported as an SSL record layer header with an
unexpected protocol version.
Avoiding this problem would have required a more bloated TLS record
layer, so better reporting is not easy.

Into the Jam-Verse
In the beginning we had the idea of diving directly into the NBA JAM world where the shoe would act as kind of a cheat code. Here we also explored different styles: Going all retro with a stylized pixel look OR combining the retro pixel world with new tech: Hello voxel world!
Unfortunately the client decided against that. Hach, that would have been fun to animate.
