Forecoming gadgets: round, interactive and shaky
When I first wrote an article on Hitachi´s waterscape, I defined the device as a “study for new, more intuitive ways of accessing data in electronic devices”, also pointing out that the technology could be used not only for browsing through data but for playing interactive videogames too. Now, it seems that other major companies are making noticeable movements into these directions.
(if someone finds the source webpage, please let me know and I´ll change the link)
a character inside will start growing according to the genre of music you listen to.(…) meet up with a friend who also owns an Otoizm and the two will have a dancing session.
simply shake the glass ball and the movement is detected through in-built sensors prompting the existing clip to dissolve and another one to appear in its place.
By operating the terminal with simple tilting and shaking gestures, contents such as movies and music can be enjoyed.
As you can read, Hitachi and Philips´descriptions for their concept “data terminals” coincide almost word by word. Compared to them, Sony´s otoizm, a tamagotchi-like handheld electronic game, shares the same round design, although it is interactive in a different way: you “feed” a virtual pet with sound, or watch it dance with a fellow pet located nearby, therefore giving the device a sort of modular behaviour. And speaking of modular behaviour, the cube world modules are not precisely round, but they are virtual pets which interact wih each other and also with you, especially if you shake the container…
I should note that the Waterscape and the Momento are concept designs, and the Otoizm has yet to be commercialized. However, as a sample of what the future may bring they are similar enough as to dare to say… well, I´ll be cautious, but who knows, the next ipod could be round, too!

Two of three existing boilers had failed with replacement parts no longer available. Crews removed the old boilers from the basement by crane and lowered the new boilers in for placement and installation.
MassDOT employees performed the work rather than hiring outside contractors, at a great savings to taxpayers/tollpayers. The total cost of the project is estimated at $20,000, a cost effective and efficient operation to properly maintain MassDOT facilities and provide a safe and comfortable work environment.

MINNEAPOLIS-Stratasys has made four more build materials and one more support material compatible with its Fortus 900mc 3-D production system. The materials include ULTEM* 9085, PC-ABS, PC-ISO and ABS-M30i.
These options more than double the number of materials compatible with the Fortus 900mc, and they provide an array of mechanical properties to chose from, such as FST (flame, smoke, toxicity) compliance, heat resistance, medical-sterilization capability, strength, and flexibility for prototyping and production. Stratasys materials previously compatible with the 900mc are ABS-M30, PC and PPSF / PPSU (polyphenylsulfone).
“Stratasys built its leadership position in direct digital manufacturing and prototyping by helping customers build stable, strong and durable parts for testing and end-use,” says Fortus Product Manager, Patrick Robb. “These additional materials make the Fortus 900mc a solution for more advanced applications in both prototyping and direct digital manufacturing for aerospace, medical and other industries.”
Direct digital manufacturing (DDM) is the process of producing parts directly from CAD data using additive fabrication.
SABIC’s ULTEM* 9085 is a strong and lightweight thermoplastic widely used in aircraft interiors and other transportation applications. The material is heat resistant to 320 F (160 C) and has full flame, smoke and toxicity (FST) compliance including OSU heat release of less than 55 kw min./sq. meter for heat release and 55 kw min./sq. meter for peak heat release (55/55). It offers a very high strength-to-weight ratio and flexibility, making it an ideal material for applications requiring advanced mechanical properties. In addition to aerospace applications, ULTEM 9085 benefits other industries requiring strong, lightweight and heat-resistant materials, including the marine-product and automotive industries.
PC-ABS is commonly used in automotive, electronics and telecommunications applications. The material provides customers with the same strength and heat-resistance characteristics as previously available Stratasys PC material but has increased flexibility. The addition of PC-ISO provides users with a tough polycarbonate material that can be sterilized for medical device or surgical jig and fixture production or prototyping. It is also useful in food and pharmaceutical handling applications.The material is ideal for applications requiring ISO 10993 certification or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization. It also has high impact and flexural strength, and can handle high temperatures.
Like PC-ISO, ABS-M30i is a biocompatible material ideal for direct digital manufacturing applications in the medical, food and pharmaceutical equipment industries with ISO 10993 or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization requirements. ABS-M30i offers substantial improvements over standard Stratasys ABS, including tensile strength, impact strength and flexural strength. ABS-M30i is up to 67% stronger than Stratasys’ previous ABS formulation. Bonding strength between layers is more than doubled, greatly expanding capabilities for functional testing or production parts.
Like other additive fabrication methods, the Stratasys FDM process requires a disposable material to support features such as overhangs. Soluble supports automate the support removal process because they are dissolved rather than manually removed. Compared with its predecessor, the optional SR-30 soluble support material delivers up to a 69% reduction in dissolve time in an agitation tank, and up to a 46% dissolve time reduction in an ultrasonic tank. All new material-options are available for shipping immediately. Material upgrade packages are available immediately for purchase globally.

The Democratic war on women's Second Amendment rights
An often used Democratic talking point is that conservatives and Republicans are waging a war against women -- be it women's rights, health, education, wages, etc. But increasingly, as seen here, it's Democrats who are waging the war on women, specifically, on their personal safety. It's just an extension of the broader left's march against the Second Amendment. Consider the case of long time Clinton courtier, and Virginia governor, Terry McAuliffe:
A few weeks ago, Democrat Governor Terry McAuliffe of Virginia said that domestic abuse victims don’t need a gun for self-defense. McAuliffe vetoed a bill that would have let domestic abuse victims receive a temporary permit to carry a gun for self-defense after they had been to court and seen a judge in order to get a restraining order. The temporary carry permit would be in effect while the victims applied for their state carry license. Democrat Governor McAuliffe said no.
In vetoing the bill, McAuliffe said:
“The bill perpetuates the dangerous fiction that the victims of domestic violence will be safer by arming themselves. It would inject firearms into a volatile domestic violence situation, making that situation less safe, not more.”
The General Assembly was unable to muster the two-thirds vote needed to over ride McAuliffe's veto.
Governor McAuliffe is right in that Virginia is now a little safer.. if you are a domestic abuser. McAuliffe made the world tragically worse for the victims of abuse. McAuliffe and his political supporters can’t, or won’t, distinguish the defenders from the attackers. McAuliffe has political company. The elected Democrats in California and New Jersey can’t tell the difference either. These Democrats will continue to blame the victim and cling to the failed fantasy of gun-control. These politicians have done everything they can to stop the victims from defending themselves.
Shame on these politicians and shame on the voters who put them in office. If your significant other beats you and you live in California, Virginia, or New Jersey, then I want you to leave the state. Move to a free state and take a firearms class in a hurry.
Or you can fight back at the ballot box, and send the anti-gun Democrats and their war on women down to defeat.

North Buncombe finds cause for more than relief after football team snaps losing streak
WEAVERVILLE – Brandon Allen slowly crept his Chevrolet truck down the driveway toward his home, glancing at the dashboard clock that told him it had been another long Friday night.
The North Buncombe football coach felt his phone vibrate in his pocket – another text from an excited fan base. He opened the front door to find his wife, Mandy, sitting at the kitchen table.
Together, the two quietly celebrated his first win as the Black Hawks’ first-year coach, 48-14 over North Henderson, and the end of a 21-game losing streak that dated back to 2015.
“At one point my wife asked me when I felt comfortable that we were going to win,” Allen said. “I told her I didn’t feel comfortable until we were up by about 30. We had lost so many in a row, it was hard to let your guard down. I just know this win was a huge burden off the shoulders for me, our players and this community.”
A nearly sold-out homecoming crowd celebrated in the stands while players embraced on the field. For many, it was the first win in their high school career – a moment of validation for a season’s worth of struggles.
North Buncombe’s roster had been whittled down to 14 varsity players, their sidelines littered with athletes standing on crutches or sitting in wheelchairs. They lost their starting quarterback, Caden Higgins, to a broken ankle before the season even began. Eighteen more injuries would follow.
The Black Hawks would lose their first seven games by an average of three touchdowns.
But last Friday night was different.
“When we got into the locker room for halftime, the atmosphere was completely different than usual,” said senior wide receiver and kicker Johnny Laws. “Normally everyone would be exhausted, but we were up 20-0, everyone was pumped up and ready to go. I think we all knew this was our chance.”
North Buncombe went on to score 28 points in the second half behind senior running back Nick Lisenbee, who scored six touchdowns on 248 yards.
Two days later, at Sunday services at Mount Bethel Baptist Church, Laws said the team's performance was all anyone could talk about.
“Everyone was coming up to talk to me about that game and telling me how proud they were,” Laws said. “You could see how much pride it gave everyone. It seemed like people’s chests were sticking out more than usual.”
North Buncombe Booster Club President Bill Beck said he received congratulatory text messages from friends in other communities after the win. Many were relieved that the Black Hawks would not end up on the wrong side of history.
North Buncombe was 12 losses away from equaling Erwin’s WNC losing-streak record of 33 games set 1991-95.
“I think we all felt that this win was coming,” said Beck, whose son Andrew played on the team last season as an offensive lineman. “Even during the losing streak this season, there was a sense that change was coming. But it gives us a huge boost. I think without this win, you’re looking at grim faces the next three ball games.”
North Buncombe (1-7) will finish the season against Tuscola, Ashevile High and Reynolds.
Shad Higgins, the booster club vice president, spent Saturday morning with Beck, helping to install a new water pump in his Dodge truck at his business, Weaverville Tire and Wheel.
The two recounted every detail of Friday’s win over North Henderson, describing in detail the best plays of the night while speaking prophetically about the bright future of the program. The junior varsity team has lost only game this season while the middle school team remains undefeated.
Doug Cross, a North Buncombe fan, pulled his truck into the parking lot and walked towards Higgins and Beck with a smile on his face.
“He came up to us and said, ‘Ain’t it nice to wake up to a win,'” Higgins said. “We knew exactly what he meant. Everything felt a little bit better that day. I hope there are more Saturday mornings like that in our future.”

LOS ANGELES — The world's most famous skateboarder surprised fans when he showed up to the Oscars using a cane.
Tony Hawk took to the red carpet with his wife just weeks after breaking his femur, which he revealed on Instagram last week after being invited to be a presenter at the 94th Academy Awards.
"I have been invited to present an Oscar at the Academy Awards, greatly expediting my wishful timeline for walking unaided," Hawk wrote. "In other words, I don’t plan to crutch my way across the stage. Hopefully you’re not watching the 4K feed so you won’t see me grimacing with each step."
During the Oscars broadcast, Hawk ditched the cane when he joined surfer Kelly Slater and snowboarder Shaun White to help pay tribute to 60 years of James Bond films.
This isn't the first time that the 53-year-old skateboarding legend has made headlines in recent days, after defending his inclusion as a presenter at Sunday's Academy Awards by showing off his movie resume.
There was a bit of lighthearted criticism last week when the Oscars revealed that it was adding presenters with little or no connection to the movie industry. They included Hawk, DJ Khaled, Slater and three-time Olympic gold medal snowboarder Shaun White.
Hawk responded on social media, listing several movies he's been in.
"If being in every Jackass movie, xXx, Police Academy 4 and Sharknado 5 doesn’t qualify me to present at the Oscars, then your taste in movies needs readjusting,” he tweeted."
Hawk put a stamp on it by tweeting out the closing credits of "Police Academy 4," where he is seen at the very end of a line of skateboarders.
The criticism of the presenter lineup followed outrage when "West Side Story" star Rachel Zegler said on social media that she hadn't even been invited to the ceremony. Zegler was later invited to be a presenter.
The Steven Spielberg film is nominated for seven Academy Awards, including best picture, director and supporting actress for Ariana DeBose, who won the in the first award shown on the TV broadcast.
The situation involving Zegler drew a lot of attention online as many couldn’t fathom why the lead of a best picture nominee wouldn’t have been invited to the ceremony or at least been asked to present an award.
Best picture nominees are allotted a certain number of tickets by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which the film’s studio then doles out as they see fit. Presenters and individual nominees get a pair of tickets. And other spots in the room go to the broadcaster, sponsors and academy members, who can enter a lottery.
Zegler is not nominated, but her next big role is as Snow White, which she is currently filming in London. Some wondered why The Walt Disney Co., which owns Oscars broadcaster ABC, wouldn’t want their new Snow White there in some capacity, like presenting or performing. Others saw it as a missed opportunity to have a rising young Latina star represented at the show.
Other presenters announced by the Academy include Stephanie Beatriz, Jennifer Garner, H.E.R., Tiffany Haddish, Bill Murray and Elliot Page.

The first nudist beach in Australia, this is a great beach to go and get your kit off and splash about with freedom! It is the BEST FEELING!
Maslins Beach (there is a nude beach to the south, but to the north it’s a gorgeous family friendly beach with playground). Also recommended are Aldinga Beach and the iconic Silver Sands at Sellicks Beach all within a short 20-30 minute drive. These three beaches all allow car access, so you can park on the sand.
Beaches are very close to here. Maslin Beach being the closest - a 10 minute drive. Lovely long beaches that are great to walk along or swim at. Other beaches worth going to are Port Norlunga (has a long jetty that ends at the reef, Aldinga Beach, Port Wilunga (Star of Greece Restaurant is here ) and Moana.

Temporary derivation of the urinary tract, as the method of choice for the treatment of obstructive megaureter in newborns
Regional Children Clinical Hospital, Chelyabinsk, Russia
South Urals State Medical University, Chelyabinsk, Russia, Ministry of Health of Russian Federation
The need for temporary drainage of the urinary tract with obstructive megaureter in newborns is due to a number of reasons: low bladder capacity, severe ureteral dilatation, and ab-rupt suppression of kidney function, which makes it difficult and sometimes impossible to per-form ureterocystanastomosis. There are various types of reconstructive "Y" - shaped ureterocu-taneostomy. For their creation, ureter resection and ureteroureteroanastomosis are required.
To determine the effectiveness of temporary drainage of the urinary tract in case of obstructive megaureter in newborns, by performing a suspension (parietal) ureterocutaneostomy.
Materials and methods.
During the last 10 years, 121 infants with obstructive megaureter were the subject of the study: 87 (72%) of them were boys and 34 (28%) were girls. Bilateral megaureter was detected in 19 (16%) patients. In all patients megaureter was diagnosed in uterus. The main diagnostic method in the early postnatal period was complex ultrasound investigation, intravenous urography, diuretic sonography, Doppler sonography of the renal vessels, dynamic nephroscintigraphy. The preserved parenchyma and satisfactory function of the affected kidney in 9 newborns made it possible to continue dynamic monitor-ing or delay the surgical stage of treatment. A sharp decline in kidney function was detected in 10 new-borns, and all showed marked retentional changes in the ureter. Percutaneous nephrostomy was per-formed on 3 newborns due to intoxication caused by pyelonephritis. In 16 patients, a “Y” -shaped ureter-ocutaneostomy was performed. The method of suspension ureterocutaneostomy was chosen in 13 new-borns. Suspension ureterocutaneostomy allows for therapeutic and diagnostic interventions in both areas of the ureter, while the closure of the stoma does not require extensive resection of the ureter, the length of which is so important in subsequent plastic surgery.
The state of the function of the kidney after the drainage operation was assessed within 3-6 months for the need to make a decision on the subsequent reconstructive operations. Kidney function improved and ureteral retention decreased in 9 patients. These patients underwent ureterocystanastomosis surgery according to the Cohen method in modification with subsequent closure of the stoma and ureteroureteroanastomosis on the internal stent in 1-2 months. Moreo-ver, modeling of the width of the ureter was not performed. In 4 patients, the function did not recover within 6 months of follow-up. Given the absence of megaureter complications, surgery was postponed to a later date. After transvesical reconstructive surgery on the ureter, control ex-amination was performed in 6-12 months. The follow-up analysis of the treatment showed that the majority (72%) of the children had satisfactory results.
Our experience confirms the opinion of the need for temporary drainage of the uri-nary tract in newborns as a stage of reconstructive surgical treatment of an obstructive megaure-ter. Suspension ureterocutaneostomy technology does not require extensive resection of the ure-ter when closing. The advantages of this method of reconstructive ureterocutaneostomy are ob-vious: the operation is less traumatic, with a minimum of complications.

US Attorney General William Barr's conclusion that President Donald Trump did not obstruct justice, revealed publicly on Sunday in a letter to lawmakers, reflects inherent difficulties in proving such an obstruction case, legal experts said.
Barr sent a four-page letter to congressional leaders summarizing a report by US Special Counsel Robert Mueller handed in on Friday, which remains confidential.
Also read:Mueller finds no Trump-Russia conspiracy
Mueller was appointed to investigate whether Trump's campaign conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 election and to probe whether the president later unlawfully sought to obstruct the probe.
Mueller vindicated Trump on the core question of Russian collusion, writing in his report that “the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities,” according to Barr's letter. While Mueller stopped short of determining whether Trump obstructed justice, Barr concluded there was insufficient evidence to bring such a case.
Following are some reasons why proving an obstruction case against Trump was so difficult and what may lay ahead.
What did Muller say?
Mueller said he did not reach a finding on whether Trump obstructed justice and set out “evidence on both sides of the question,” according to Barr's letter.
Barr did not make this evidence public, noting only that Mueller said there were “difficult” factual and legal questions raised by an obstruction case.
Muller said “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,” according to Barr's letter. Barr, however, found there was insufficient evidence to establish an obstruction case against Trump.
Why is it difficult to prove obstruction?
A federal law makes it a crime to attempt “to influence, obstruct or impede the due administration of justice.” To prove obstruction, prosecutors must show an individual acted with a “corrupt,” or improper motive — a specific intent to impede an investigation.
Mueller's obstruction investigation likely focused on Trump's interactions with former FBI Director James Comey, legal experts said. According to Comey, in February 2017, Trump asked him to back off an investigation into national security adviser Michael Flynn over Flynn's contacts with Russia. Trump eventually fired Comey in May 2017.
“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go... He is a good guy,” Trump told Comey, according to a memo written by the former FBI Director.
Some legal experts have said in the last year that Trump's intent was clearly to block an investigation, and that there was a strong obstruction of justice case to be made. But others have said that establishing that Trump acted with the “corrupt” intent of blocking the investigation would have been difficult. Trump could have argued he was simply vouching for Flynn's character, and not pressuring Comey to drop an investigation, these lawyers said.
In an interview with NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt that aired two days after the firing, Trump said he was thinking of “this Russia thing” when he fired him. But Trump also said in the NBC interview and in others that he fired Comey because he was incompetent, weakening a potential obstruction case, experts said.
Why the clean chit?
An obstruction of justice case against Trump was also undermined by Mueller's findings that the Trump campaign did not conspire with Russians to interfere in the election.
Obstruction of justice is usually coupled with some underlying wrongful act that is being covered up, experts said. Barr cited this shortcoming in his letter, saying that, “while not determinative, the absence of such evidence bears upon the President's intent with respect to obstruction.”
Barr's letter also notes that obstruction, like any crime, requires to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in court. He also noted that many of the actions described in Mueller's report “took place in public view”. Obstruction of justice typically describe secret efforts to impede a court proceeding, and Barr may have viewed the public nature of Trump's acts as weakening the case against him.
Could Congress pick up the obstruction charges?
Yes. Democrats took control of the House of Representatives in January, giving them investigatory powers including the ability to issue subpoenas.
US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said in a joint statement on Sunday that the fact that Mueller had not cleared Trump of obstruction “demonstrates how urgent it is that the full report and underlying documentation be made public without any further delay.”
Impeachment in the future?
The US Constitution empowers Congress to remove a President from office for “high crimes and misdemeanors”, including obstruction of justice, through a process of impeachment.
In an impeachment proceeding, lawmakers have broad leeway to define obstruction of justice and are not bound by Barr's determination, legal experts said. But impeachment is a very political process, and appears unlikely because Trump's Republican party controls the Senate. Some Democratic lawmakers had hoped Mueller's investigation would lay a groundwork for impeachment, but that hope has now largely faded.

It is World Environment Day
today, the 5th of June, and the theme is "Connect with Nature". Maybe the reason they chose this theme is that we need to go out into the environment, enjoy it and notice its changes, if we are to care for it and protect it.
Vandana Shiva coins the term "eco-apartheid" when she writes: “Separatism is at the root of disharmony with nature and violence against nature and people. Today, we need to overcome an eco-apartheid based on the illusion of separateness – the separation of humans from nature in our minds and lives. This eco-apartheid is an illusion because we are part of nature and Earth, not apart from it. Read more here
One thing I really love about living simply is that it gives me time to do that -to walk on the beach as I did today-the picture above was taken this morning at Sorrento, or to take pictures of the unique flora in this part of the West Australian landscape. The picture below is an acorn banksia, or banksia prionotes
, a native to this region.
When we grow our own food, we are much more alert to the changes of the seasons and the needs of living things to be in a clean, cooperative environment. Below is our seed raising set up.
This weekend we have been setting up wicking beds for herbs close to the back door, using recycled olive barrels. This bed gets a lot of western afternoon sun, and nothing we grew really thrived, apart from the citrus trees. We do put up shade sails in summer, but it wasn't possible to get enough water to the herbs. This set up will fix that, we hope.
I have 4 more like this to do. Each one holds 2 bags of blue metal as the reservoir of water (holds about 18 litres each) and then there is a shadecloth barrier before a bag and a half of compost. The plants grow towards the reservoir of water, and there is very little evaporation to contend with. We top up the reservoir through the stand pipe, and there is an overflow valve to let water out if it rains and the plants are in danger of drowning.
I like the idea of using these olive barrels in new ways -re-purposing them rather than have them find their way to landfill.
When we grow our own food, we are much more aware of waste and freshness.
This is a picture of a rustic veggie pie I made with my own short pastry and herbs from the garden.

WASHINGTON — When Prime Minister Naftali Bennett of Israel was scheduled to meet President Biden at the White House on Thursday, the two new leaders had aimed to reset relations between their countries and reinforce a bond that has showed signs of strain.
But their first meeting was postponed Thursday after two deadly blasts outside the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, where officials said there were dozens injured or dead, including at least 12 U.S. service members who were killed.
The meeting, originally scheduled for Thursday morning, was delayed and then rescheduled for Friday as Mr. Biden remained in the Situation Room meeting all morning with his top national security advisers and the Pentagon held a briefing with Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., commander of U.S. Central Command.
“On behalf of the people of Israel, I share our deep sadness over the loss of American lives in Kabul,” Mr. Bennett said in a statement Thursday. “Israel stands with the United States in these difficult times, just as America has always stood with us. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of the United States.”
The schedule change means that Mr. Bennett, an Orthodox Jew who does not travel on the Sabbath for religious reasons, will extend his trip to Washington until after the Sabbath on Saturday night.
Understand the Infrastructure Bill
- One trillion dollar package passed. The Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan infrastructure package on Aug. 10, capping weeks of intense negotiations and debate over the largest federal investment in the nation’s aging public works system in more than a decade.
- The final vote. The final tally in the Senate was 69 in favor to 30 against. The legislation, which still must pass the House, would touch nearly every facet of the American economy and fortify the nation’s response to the warming of the planet.
- Main areas of spending. Overall, the bipartisan plan focuses spending on transportation, utilities and pollution cleanup.
- Transportation. About $110 billion would go to roads, bridges and other transportation projects; $25 billion for airports; and $66 billion for railways, giving Amtrak the most funding it has received since it was founded in 1971.
- Utilities. Senators have also included $65 billion meant to connect hard-to-reach rural communities to high-speed internet and help sign up low-income city dwellers who cannot afford it, and $8 billion for Western water infrastructure.
- Pollution cleanup: Roughly $21 billion would go to cleaning up abandoned wells and mines, and Superfund sites.
Mr. Bennett, who arrived in Washington Tuesday night, earlier in the week met with Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III and Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser.
Mr. Biden, who called Mr. Bennett to congratulate him less than two hours after his swearing-in two months ago, has tried to send a clear signal that the United States supports his new, diverse, coalition government.
Mr. Bennett has said that he wants his administration to be known as the “good-will government,” and that he wants to take a softer tone toward the United States than did his longtime predecessor, Benjamin Netanyahu, who often clashed with Democratic leaders.
But for all the conciliatory style, the challenge may be the substance. Mr. Biden and Mr. Bennett, who have never met before, have vastly different views of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and of efforts to restore the Iran nuclear deal.
Mr. Bennett has made clear that there will not be an independent Palestinian state while he is the head of his government. The Biden administration, in contrast, has expressed a deep commitment to a two-state solution that, by definition, includes an independent Palestinian state.
Mr. Bennett also opposes the United States’ re-entry into the Iran agreement, which the Biden administration is exploring.
“These are two very central issues in the U.S.-Israel relationship on which there are radically different points of view,” said Jeremy Ben-Ami, the president of J Street, a liberal pro-Israel advocacy group. “The tone and the atmosphere cannot substitute for the fact that there is a fundamental difference in view on the core issues at stake in the U.S.-Israel relationship.”
In a recent interview with The New York Times, Mr. Bennett said he would expand West Bank settlements, a move Mr. Biden opposes. And he declined to back American plans to reopen a consulate for Palestinians in Jerusalem.
Still, he made clear that he wanted the meeting to show that the relationship with the United States was on more solid ground, even if some of his policies are similar to those of Mr. Netanyahu.
“There’s a new dimension here — coming up with new ways to address problems, being very realistic, very pragmatic, and being reasonable with friends,” Mr. Bennett said.
His visit comes as Mr. Biden is navigating the biggest foreign policy crisis of his young presidency, trying to evacuate all Americans and Afghan allies from Afghanistan before his Aug. 31 deadline for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from the country after 20 years of war.
At home, Mr. Biden is dealing with crosscurrents over Israel in his own party, as an energized progressive wing and a quiet shift among more mainstream Democrats have led many lawmakers to take a more skeptical approach toward the longtime ally.
Mr. Bennett is also the rare international leader that Mr. Biden, a former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, shares no history with, a distinction that sets Mr. Bennett apart even from some of his neighbors. Last month, when King Abdullah II of Jordan became the first Arab head of state to visit the White House since Mr. Biden took office, the president called him a “loyal and decent friend” and noted, “We’ve been hanging out together for a long time.”

The Elizabethtown soundtrack features new tracks from Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham, and My Morning Jacket, who actually appear in the movie as a band called Ruckus. Other tracks featured on the album come from Elton John, the Hollies, and Wheat. Notorious rocker Ryan Adams also gets in on the action, supplying the song 'Come Pick Me' from his breakthrough Heartbreaker album. Singing the Crowe/Wilson penned song 'Same in Any Language' are newcomers I Nine. RCA. 2005.
Director Cameron Crowe is known for paying very close attention to the soundtracks to his movies. For Elizabethtown, in which he revisits his Kentucky roots, Crowe has put together a low-key album full of gently moaning pedal-steel guitars, fretful mandolins, and men in full sensitive-balladeer mode. Whereas Almost Famous reached for the hedonistic 1970s, Elizabethtown tries to evoke a timelessly rootsy vibe through artists new (Ryan Adams, Wheat) and classic (Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham) alike. Petty, Buckingham, and Kentucky natives My Morning Jacket all contribute new tracks, while Crowe and film scorer Nancy Wilson wrote the theme song, "Same in Any Language," for I Nine to perform. But once again, it's Elton John who pulls the chestnuts from the fire. Just as his "Tiny Dancer" was the clear highlight of the Almost Famous soundtrack, an old Elton epic overshadows the rest of the Elizabethtown lineup. Culled from Sir Elton's 1971 album Tumbleweed Connection, "My Father's Gun" is the kind of superb fake-roots song that paradoxically makes the others contributors sound arch. Go figure. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

One thing can be said for Cameron Crowe...his movies might falter a bit (as Elizabethtown unfortunately did) but he knows how to put together a banging soundtrack. Whether you've seen the film or not you'll probably get the urge to take a spontaneous rural road trip, or to sit out back and start up a campfire with friends, or to just chill with someone special. A mix of folk, blues, and country from today and yesteryear this album is a gem that flows from track to track.
The Nancy Wilson theme for the film sets the tone for the cd right off the hop - lots of guitars with a bit of banjo in there as well. Tom Petty's two contributions (Tracks 2 and 14) are heartfelt, relaxed tunes that are among the best on the cd. Elton John follows Petty & The Heartbreakers with a sweeping 70's power ballad, "My Father's Gun", which flows into the dreamy ethereal "This Time Around".
Ryan Adams provides what I feel to be one of the best tracks on the album with "Come Pick Me Up" a slow blues builder with a fantastic chorus - one of the few recongizable from the film. Country inches its way into the blues circle a bit with My Morning Jacket & Patty Griffin's tunes. "Sugar Blue" by Jeff Finlin is up next and takes on a unique modern country sound with a real bluesy vibe to it.
The 21st century is much more apparent on Wheat's "Don't I Hold You" a light-alt-folk-rock offering. Lindsey Buckingham's tune sounds like it was ripped right from the Garden State soundtrack but fits in equally well here. Then we go back in time again with the upbeat Hombres track "Let It Out". Another fave of mine comes up with Eastmountainsouth - a sweet folky duet, very Sheryl Crow-ish. The Hollies takes us back in time again, as does the other Tom Petty track, finishing off with the sweet tune "Same in Any Language" by I Nine.
All in all a fantastic album for the summer that can be played at virtually any occasion. If you dig soundtracks - particularly ones with little-known talented bands - a la Garden State - then pick this baby up.


Advanced motion technology company Supashock last night received a major award from peak industry body, the Defence Teaming Centre, for the development of its revolutionary Advanced Load Handling System technology – developed specifically for military vehicles – at DTC’s annual awards ceremony in Adelaide.
Adelaide-based Supashock received the DTC award for “Outstanding Collaboration” for the development of the ALHS 17 technology for heavy logistics trucks alongside South Australian manufacturer Century Engineering and major defence prime Rheinmetall Defence.
The Supashock team, based at Edinburgh Park, designed and developed the ALHS 17 technology specifically to reduce the risk to soldiers by automating the loading and unloading of ISO containers, modules and STANAG compliant flat racks of up to 17 tonnes from within a highly protected truck cabin. This significantly reduces the time for distribution of military supplies in demanding battlefield environments – the loading cycle time is only 25 per cent of existing systems.
The safety is also improved – the system is operated within the protection provided by the integrated armoured cab of the Rheinmetall HX 8×8 truck.
ALHS was officially unveiled at Eurosatory 2018 by Minister for Defence the Hon. Christopher Pyne MP in June.
Supashock Managing Director Oscar Fiorinotto paid tribute to his team of engineers – each recruited from South Australia’s three universities – for their skill in developing the ALHS 17 technology.
“The ALHS17 concept came about to provide defence forces with greater operational flexibility, efficiency and sustainment by providing a completely protected environment, and the ability to load and unload a container in varied terrain,” Mr Fiorinotto said.
Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles supplies logistics trucks to a range of defence customers around the world including Australia, New Zealand, Germany and the United Kingdom.
Mr Fiorinotto said Century was critical to the successful execution of the ALHS 17 product.
“Century Engineering provided specialist fabrication and manufacturing services for the development of ALHS 17 and, from a collaboration perspective, they opened up their business and worked with our team to provide support in the areas where it was required,” he said.
“The combination of Century Engineering’s manufacturing support, Rheinmetall’s experience in the defence sector and Supashock’s expertise in motion technology facilitated the creation of a technology and end product that has life-saving benefits in combat environments.”
Mr Fiorinotto thanked the DTC for its recognition of Supashock’s collaborative efforts.
“Our entire team would like to acknowledge the DTC not just for this award, but for providing valuable advocacy for South Australian businesses operating in the defence industry,” he said.
“I’d also like to offer a special thankyou to the team at Rheinmetall, and especially Ben Hudson and Michael Wittlinger, for their efforts in the birth of this special system, along with Century Engineering for their fabrication work.
“It’s an honour for Supashock to receive this award, but more importantly it’s very satisfying that this type of technology has been developed in Australia, derived from graduate programs in conjunction with South Australian and national university programs, and is making a positive contribution to South Australian manufacturing.”
- The traditional loading and unloading of containers and equipment from military logistics vehicles requires the use of multiple personnel, diverting resources away from other tasks, reducing operator situational awareness, and exposing several individuals in a potentially hostile environment – ALHS17 only requires a single operator.
- A combat situation often mandates the transportation as well as the loading or unloading of military equipment under challenging scenarios:
- Misalignment of the vehicle and the load that is being carried by the vehicle;
- Slopes and inclines that the vehicle may have to traverse; and
- Conditions that include mud, sand and other debris, where no access to the bottom corner fittings may be possible.
- The ALHS17 has several integral mechanical degrees of freedom that combine with a computer-assisted user interface, making the task of loading and unloading a container easy in all conditions.
- Also, the cycle time of loading and unloading ISO containers or modules with the ALHS 17 is considerably faster than current in-service load handling systems.
- Operational flexibility – ALHS17 is suitable for a variety of containers, and can be used in a wide variety of environments and terrain.

Austrian Minister for Digital and Economic Affairs Margarete Schrambock receives an interview with Xinhua in Vienna, Austria, on April 4, 2018. (Xinhua/Pan Xu)
A rare collective visit by the Austrian heads of state and government to China is expected to generate multiple agreements on economy cooperation, and progress in future collaboration over infrastructure projects under the Belt and Road Initiative, an Austrian minister has told Xinhua.
In an interview with Xinhua in Vienna, Austrian Minister for Digital and Economic Affairs Margarete Schrambock said her country and China are expected to sign two key cooperation agreements under the Belt and Road Initiative.
Leading a 250-strong delegation of business representatives, cultural and scientific delegates as well as federal ministers, Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen and Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz have set a diplomatic record in Austria's modern history with their first joint visit to China in the coming days.
The Belt and Road Initiative will be high on the agenda as Van der Bellen and Kurz visit Beijing, Schrambock said.
The initiative, proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013, aims to create greater trade, infrastructure and people-to-people links between Asia, Europe, Africa and beyond by reviving and expanding the ancient Silk Road routes. The modern version comprises an overland Silk Road Economic Belt and a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road.
"I think we need more discussions on silk road (project). We are very interested in, for example, becoming the end-point of the railway," she said, referring to the much-anticipated high-speed rail line from Belgrade to Budapest.
Austria, she said, is also interested in having cooperation with China on China-Europe freight train service and China-Europe land-sea express route.
The China-Europe rail service is considered a significant part of the Belt and Road Initiative. It is expected to boost trade between China and Europe, China's largest trading partner.
To this point, China Railway Express has been running between China and Europe, however, no train has yet to arrive in Austria. China-Europe land-sea express route is also expecting a breakthrough in cooperation with Austria.
Schrambock also noted that current Austrian coalition government had just assumed office last December, Austria and China are just starting discussions over the Belt and Road Initiative cooperation.
Schrambock, who had spent 22 years on the IT industry, had also worked with Chinese companies, including Chinese tech giant Huawei. She sees the silk road not only a physical road, but also as a digital one, saying that it is important for both nations to cooperate over e-commerce.
It is important, she said, for digital companies on both sides to work together, and as both countries have high levels of innovations in this field, there are opportunities for cooperation.
There will also be agreements on trade and on e-commerce, and Austrian products can reach Chinese consumers easier, she said.
Around 650 Austrian companies are doing business in China, she said. A total of 30 Austrian companies are expected to sign agreements with Chinese companies that will be worth around 1.5 billion euros (1.8 billion U.S. dollars), according to the minister.
She said her country welcomes investment by Chinese companies. Austria is at the heart of Europe, geographically seen as a bridge between western and eastern European states.
While the two countries differ greatly in size, Schrambock said China, as the world's second-largest economy and Austria's most important trading partner in Asia, has undoubtedly strong prospects for the future.

Cauliflower - Loaded with Nutrients
TEXARKANA, Ark. –
I’m not going to lie, cauliflower is probably one of my least favorite vegetables. I have tried it several ways and just can’t seem to find a way to love it. At the supermarket one day I saw a bag of cauliflower rice in the freezer section so I decided to give it a try.
You may be asking, what is cauliflower rice? It is raw cauliflower that has been grated down to a consistency almost like rice. Like cauliflower itself, it can be eaten raw or cooked to soften it up and create a texture more like traditional rice. You can make it yourself, or you can buy it pre-made at the grocery store. Having tried it, I’ll be sticking with my brown rice.
However, for those who love cauliflower, it is a source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that may reduce your risk of heart disease and certain cancers. It also helps protect skin from bruising, helps heal cuts and keeps gums healthy. Eating foods with vitamin C helps the body absorb iron. You will also find folate, which may reduce your risk of heart disease. Eating foods with folate before pregnancy helps lower the risk of delivering a baby with neural tube defects. Cauliflower also provides potassium, vitamin K and fiber. Potassium helps maintain healthy blood pressure, vitamin K helps build and maintain strong bones, and fiber helps control cholesterol and keeps you regular.
Cauliflower is in season from May to June and September to November and is readily available at your local supermarket or farmers market, making it easy to access. It is an inexpensive vegetable for all occasions and can be added to salads along with cabbage and other green vegetables.
To choose cauliflower, look for white, firm heads without brown spots or bruises. Rinse cauliflower, trim leaves and remove center core. Cut or break into florets, if desired. Store it in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator and use within 3 to 5 days.
Some ways to use cauliflower include serving it raw with a dip. Or steam a whole head for 15 minutes until crisp tender, or steam florets for 7 to 10 minutes. Serve with lemon butter or cheese sauce. You can also microwave on high with 2 tablespoons water for 8 to 10 minutes for a whole head or 4 to 6 minutes for florets. Season with warm olive oil, garlic and oregano.
Try stir-fry for a new take on cauliflower. Stir-fry in 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil for 3 to 5 minutes. Enjoy with soy sauce or teriyaki sauce. You can also bake in the oven at 400 degrees F. On foil lined baking sheet, place 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into wedges. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. Turn over and drizzle the other side with 2 tablespoons oil. Roast until tender and golden, about 20 minutes.

Surface activation using plasma technology
Wherever components will be coated, painted or glued in subsequent steps, selective surface activation of the starting materials is indispensable.
Many materials do not have the required surface tension, such as for printing with water-based inks, for bonding with long-term stability with VOC-free adhesives, or producing material composites.
Openair® plasma activation ensures especially efficient surface modification of plastic, metal, textiles, glass, recycled and composite materials. Surface energy is targeted by the plasma activation and achieved selectively, exactly where it is needed. The result is clearly better wetting capability of the surfaces.
Advantages of Openair® plasma activation:
- High process speed and safety
- Large process window due to homogeneous plasma jet
- Cost-effective, environmentally-friendly surface modification
- Pretreatment without corona effect, no material contact with high voltage
- Robot-controlled inline integration in the manufacturing line
What does surface activation with atmospheric pressure plasma achieve?
Surface activation with Openair® plasma is especially effective when nonpolar materials have to be treated, such as plastics that consist of long-chain polymers. Such nonpolar surfaces are difficult to bond and coat. Because plasma energy selectively modifies the surface tension, these materials can be processed easily and new material combinations can be produced, as in the adhesive bonding process.

The subjective well-being of first-year tertiary students during an induction programme
De Kock, Johannes H.
Wissing, Marie P.
MetadataShow full item record
This article describes the perceptions of first-year students’ subjective appraisal of ttheir wellbeing before, during and after participation in an induction programme at a higher education institution (HEI). Twenty-two first-year students participated in focus group discussions (FGDs) and semi-structured individual interviews. Thematic and interpretative analyses suggested shifts in the students’ levels of well-being: high before, low during, and increased after the induction programme. Low levels of well-being were linked to experiences of fear, feeling disrespected, and disillusionment with university life, leaders, and a perceived loss of autonomy, independency and social-relatedness. An increase in well-being was associated with social integration, support, the ability for self-reflection and perspective taking. Wellbeing is a relational and collective matter which is embedded in broader contexts. Therefore, historical legacies of oppression and inequality should be challenged through constructive debate, involving previously neglected voices intentionally; and creating opportunities for the expression of students’ needs and growth potential

If you enjoy these cute little balls of cheese, as I certainly do, have you ever wondered how mozzarella pearls are made?
How are they all manufactured to be the same size?
Is it the same method as making the larger mozzarella balls?
What can you do with mozzarella pearls anyway?
Do mozzarella pearls melt, so you can put them on pizza?
So many questions about such a small thing!
Let’s get to the truth about mozzarella pearls!
Mozzarella pearls typically weigh less than 10 grams each and are made in the same way as the larger balls of cheese. Once the mozzarella has been formed from the pasteurized cow’s milk, it is either hand-rolled or placed in molds to ensure the pearls are a consistent size. Mozzarella pearls vary between 8 and 27 mm in diameter. They are popular in restaurants, as with them all being the same size, portion control is easily maintained. Their uses include salads, canapes, pizza, antipasti, and pasta dishes. Mozzarella pearls have a high-fat content, which ensures they melt quickly and evenly, ideal for pizza.
Mozzarella Pearls: How Are They Made?
I absolutely love these cute little mozzarella pearls and have found so many uses for them.
But it was only recently that I started wondering how they are made, so that’s why I looked into the subject!
The actual cheesemaking process is exactly the same as when making the larger mozzarella balls.
Using either cow’s milk or buffalo milk, curds are formed using rennet, acid, and live cultures.
This results in curds, which are drained and then immersed in hot water.
The mozzarella is stretched and formed into a large ball and then further divided into pearls.
The best mozzarella is created by hand.
Now, you may have noticed that when you buy your mozzarella pearls, that they are all the same size, so is there an industry standard?
Not specifically, but you will find that they never weigh more than 10 grams or have a diameter of more than 27 mm.
The fact that the size and weight are consistent in each packet or container makes them a favorite in the restaurant industry.
The cost of each portion can be measured accurately, and each dish will look the same, which is important in terms of presentation.
What Can You Do with Mozzarella Pearls?
If you are wondering what to do with these tasty little morsels, there are lots of uses for mozzarella pearls.
One of my favorites is to use them in a quick, simple Caprese salad.
No slicing is required, and you can find some brands that marinate the mozzarella in basil for that essential Italian flavor!
Mozzarella, as you know, is an essential ingredient for pizza, and there is no problem using pearls for this purpose.
As they are made in the same way as full-sized mozzarella balls, they have the same high fat content that makes them melt just as easily.
You can add mozzarella pearls to any pasta dish or include them on an antipasti board.
They would be great for making small canapes, and if you buy the plain version, you can marinate the mozzarella pearls in ingredients of your own choosing to add a unique twist.
A few of my favorite dishes include Caprese Pastry Bites, Pesto Chicken Kebabs, and Chicken Parmesan Meatballs.
Maybe I will share my recipes in another article!
Marinated Mozzarella Pearls
Mozzarella pearls are made in exactly the same way as the full-sized balls.
They are typically a uniform size, weighing no more than 10 grams, with a maximum diameter of 27 mm.
Restaurants often use them as it is easy to control portion size and work out accurate costings.
Mozzarella pearls have many uses, including salads, pasta dishes, and as canapes.
They are ideal for pizzas as they have the same high-fat content as full-sized mozzarella and melt easily.
Earlier on, I mentioned that one of the benefits of using these cheese pearls is that you don’t have to cut them.
If you are using the full-size cheese, you might need to read my article on the correct way to slice mozzarella.

In a heated press conference on July 31, Ngunjiri asserted that he had a copy of the original title document, which indicated that Uhuru owned 2,000 acres as part of the 40,000-acre Gicheha farm owned by the Kenyatta family.
The MP wondered how the current president, who was only 11 years old in 1972, was able to have his name listed on a title document.
"I have a copy of the title for Gicheha Farm, 2,000 acres that you purchased in 1972. At what age did you obtain a title deed?" The M-posted was outspoken.
Ngunjiri warned political figures, including Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho should stop threatening to take over pieces of land that are owned by Deputy President William Ruto.

In order to avoid data duplication and prevent the need to manage the product inventory separately on Amazon, when the data already exists in a stock database, the Amazon API can be used.
After looking at the various Amazon integration middleware solutions available in the marketplace, none were found to fully suit the needs of the clothing industry, so Halare, in association with Telekinetix, undertook the task of integrating 4D directly with the Amazon API.
This involved covering the demanding Amazon API documentation, and producing routines to convert the product data to the structure and categorisation required. The data was then packaged into the required XML and uploaded on a regular basis using the Halare Scheduler component.
Further routines were written to retrieve and process orders from Amazon into the database, again managed by the Scheduler component.
Another aspect of the undertaking, involved producing an enrichment module, where the existing data can be added to for the purposes of eCommerce sales, and for mapping product data onto the Amazon categorisation data.

Creativity. A favorite quote.
I wanted to share one of my favorite quotes today to inspire you in the week ahead! Go get your creativity on!
“A creative person does not take direction from the outside. She does not imitate established forms. She listens within. Now she may survey the world. She may even study and scrutinize it. But then she internalizes what she sees. She takes it in and digests it. She considers it in the light of her own experience. She feels it. She owns it. She makes it hers. And then she gives it back. And what she gives is her vision, her unique perspective, her story. And if she is honest, others will respond to her, because they hear their story in hers.” ~ Paul Ferrini

I recently finished some weaving.
I made a couple of placemats with the turquoise rags, then decided to use some sticks to make a couple of mats.
Here they are, off the loom.
Wednesday, October 8, 2014
That's how it's been around here lately.
This was the last couple of days results !
At the top is the beautiful apple sauce I made using our amazing Kitchenaid attachment. These apples came from our friends, Chuck and Valerie's orchard. In the middle on the right, it's in the jars. With the leftover skins, cores etc I made a big jar of pectin to use in jam making. That's the bottom right picture. I had to try the pectin out so I made a couple of jars of blackberry jelly with left over blackberries from the Christmas Blackberry Brandy we made this week.
(A Periwinkle tradition !) and the jelly set up great so I'd definitely be calling that a success. Also in that pic is some yummy fruit leather with MORE of the berry juice and the awesome apple sauce.
Lastly are the hop yeast cakes. These still need a bit of work I must admit ! I first found some recipes for hop yeasts in an old book at the museum. I think it must have been this one https://archive.org/details/younghousekeeper00corn
It's still in the experimental stage. These cakes are made with the hop yeast and cornmeal. They are dried, ( I dried them in my dehydrator, which is not really how it happened in 1859, but still), and then can be stored in an airtight jar.I
also watched a youtube vid from a prepper lady,
She also makes the cakes to keep in the larder.
Feeling very productive !
