TESTED – Mobotix M16
Recognisable by its non-conventional form, this version of the Mobotix M16 is supplied with individual colour and monochrome modules mounted side by side. This removes the need for a mechanical infrared cut filter. The use of purely electronic light control means that there are no moving parts within the camera which would be expected to extend its operational life. The system allows for a wide range of camera modules (sensors) to be fitted including very wide-angle fisheye variants and thermal modules or to be supplied without so that camera modules can be fitted to suit the installation. An LPF (Long Pass Filter) variant is also available for number plate capture.
The modules in this version were both based on 1/1.8" 6MP (3072 x 2048) CMOS sensors. In addition to video motion detection, the unit includes a shock detector and PIR sensor.Ingress protection is to IP66 and impact protection to IK07. A microphone and loudspeaker are built into the camera. Power is PoE at 7.5W.
Getting started
DHCP is enabled by default so accessing the camera is relatively straightforward on an enabled network. Alternatively, either a static IP address is given in the manual or MxManagementCenter software will discover all of their devices beyond the local subnet, but both of these must be downloaded from the Mobotix website.
At first browser login connection you are presented with a request to change the factory password. Here a warning is given that if the administrator password is lost the camera will have to be sent back to Mobotix for a factory reset.
Menu options
The browser display window has a series of menu options arranged down the left-hand side of the pane and additional Toolbar Icons and drop-down menu items along the top. Above the menu column there are icons for Live, Play and Multiview to switch camera viewing mode and then above the image pane there are three "Quick Controls" in the form of drop-down selection boxes for Frame Rate, Function selection and Commands. Additional Icons are provided for locking the electronic Pan/Zoom feature, Setting High Quality, enabling Audio and saving a JPG snapshot of the current scene.
The menu column starts with:
Admin Menu – this accesses System Information, Security, Hardware configuration, Page admin, Network setup, MxMessage system, Storage, Logos & Image profiles, Transfer profiles, Audio & VoIP telephony, Camera admin, Configuration, System updates and General Tasks.
Setup Menu – General image and exposure settings including text display and virtual PTZ, plus Event control options for arming, actions and recording.
Beneath the two main menu buttons are a series of "Soft Buttons" that are pre-configured for functions such as Arm & Record, Audio On, MxPEG On & Off. Further down are buttons for Allocating a User command plus buttons to blink the front LEDs and Play a stored sound; these would be useful for camera identification on larger installation commissioning tests.
The final default Soft Buttons are allocated to Event playing and listing then virtual zoom features.
The drop-down Quick Controls access features including; Camera Selection, Display Modes, VPTZ & views, Recording, Image Quality & Exposure, Focussing Aid, Audio Sensitivity & Volume level, Browser codec type and Manage Settings to Store, Load & Restore all settings.
Network settings are comprehensive for the experienced installer with various test facilities provided. Custom Signals can be used to activate functionality based on Image input, Time schedules or from an allocated Master camera.

Ready or not, California growers will soon have to go entirely without chlorpyrifos, a pesticide that has faced increasing state and federal scrutiny as an air contaminant.
The state Department of Pesticide Regulation today announced its intent to ban chlorpyrifos within two years if not sooner. The move follows the pesticide's formal designation in April as an air pollutant that could be hazardous to human health.
Chlorpyrifos is used to control pests on a variety of crops, including alfalfa, almonds, citrus, cotton, grapes and walnuts, although its use has greatly declined in the past decade. The state Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Food and Agriculture promise that Gov. Gavin Newsom's revised budget proposal, due out this month, will include $5.7 million to support the transition to safer, more sustainable alternatives.
Newsom also plans to convene a working group to identify, evaluate and recommend alternative pest management solutions, officials say. The funding must be approved by the Legislature.
"It's definitely going to be a challenge for some growers who find it very difficult to find an alternative method to deal with pests," DPR spokeswoman Charlotte Fadipe tells Western Farm Press. "We do believe it's time for this chemical to be put to bed.
""It's a move we have to make," she says.
Use has declined
Growers' use of chlorpyrifos in California dropped more than 50 percent from two million pounds in 2005 to just over 900,000 pounds in 2016, according to the DPR's most recent statistics. Grower use has waned as the state has placed stricter controls on the pesticide, which acts as a contact or stomach poison to pests.
In 2015, DPR designated chlorpyrifos as a "restricted material" that requires a permit from the county agricultural commissioner for its application. In addition, applications of chlorpyrifos must be recommended by a licensed pest control advisor and supervised by a licensed certified applicator.
In April, chlorpyrifos was formally listed as a "toxic air contaminant," which California law defines as "an air pollutant which may cause or contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious illness, or which may pose a present or potential hazard to human health." The listing requires DPR to develop control measures to protect the health of farmworkers and others living and working near where the pesticide is used, the agency explains in a news release.
The proposed cancellation of permits would affect dozens of agricultural products containing the pesticide, state officials say. Chlorpyrifos has been prohibited by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for residential uses since 2001.
Several states have moved to ban chlorpyrifos on farms after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reversed an earlier effort to phase out the chemical nationally. Responding to a legal challenge by farm labor and environmental groups, a federal appeals court ordered the EPA to reconsider again and come out with a decision by July.
In the meantime, Hawaii is phasing out chlorpyrifos by 2023 and New York legislators just passed a bill to eliminate the chemical by 2021, Fadipe notes.
Bans could hurt farmers
DowDuPont, which produces chlorpyrifos, criticizes efforts to curb its use and asserts the bans will hurt farmers who rely on it to control insects, according to The Associated Press.
Indeed, while many pests have responded to alternative treatments, almond growers have complained that no other tool but chlorpyrifos will work against leaffooted plant bugs and stink bugs, which feed on and damage developing nuts.
The working group convened by the DPR and CDFA will identify and develop safer and more practical and sustainable alternatives to chlorpyrifos, including the use of biological controls and other integrated pest management practices. They will also work with growers who are struggling to make the transition, officials say.
The $5.7 million in Newsom's budget proposal would facilitate research and technical assistance to support the transition, the agencies explain. The agencies and the working group will seek both short-term and long-term alternatives, the release states.
"We look forward to working with the Legislature through the budget process on the Governor's proposal to support growers in the transition to alternative pest management," says CDFA Secretary Karen Ross.

text: I've had my Blues Junior almost a year--got it used from a friend. Within the last few weeks, it started making farty, crackly noises--just randomly--sometimes it was fine, other times, it would make the crackles. So I decided to change the power tubes (EL84s). I decided just the EL84s because when I would touch them, they would fart, but the 12AX7s would not. So I replaced the power tubes with JJs. I still get the crackles, and what is weird is that the tube on the left side glows really hot--a lot hotter than the right side, and just within a couple minutes. It's not just the wires that glow--it's the whole silvery sheet thing inside. I don't get it. Any suggestions?

Self-closing or manual? Automatic, motion-sensors, keyed entry? Antique or modern? Simple or ornate? Child-proof or strictly open-gate? Anyone trying to build a gate will have to address these questions, and more. There is so much in the way of gate hardware that it can be quite daunting. But there are some very practical limiting factors that will help narrow the choices.
For example, should your gate rationale be mostly security, then you are less likely to be concerned with the ornate (not saying you won't, just saying it probably won't hold as much of your attention as the security angle.) In this instance, the quality and type of locks and latches, hinges and supporting posts will have the upper edges of your attention. You may also wish to go as far as security cameras. It helps to know that when it comes to security, your selections of hardware, height of the gate itself, and materials chosen for the gate will all contribute to the security image you wish to project. Nothing like a combination of metal, electronics, and pointy things to convey "no trespassing." But if you desire to have all that security, but make it more subtle in appearance, remember that your components still have to be up to the task. An un-climbable fence is a waste of money if your gate is a push-over.
But let's say security is less your concern, and art is your primary goal. Here, you begin with your esthetic considerations, and your hardware then has to meet those self-imposed standards. Your latch should be compatible with your hinges. You may want self-closing hinges, which make good sense when you have kids, and their attention span has yet to meet up with the needs to close a gate. You may be looking to design an ultra-modern gate, and here you may wish to seek out an artist who can create exactly what you want, though there are many makers of artisan hardware around today. Just remember, it's not likely to be cheap.
In fact, budget, as in most things associated with our dwellings, is a consideration – the better hardware is not going to be as cheap as what you can buy at the big-box stores or the local hardware emporiums. But it is important to keep in mind how much wear and tear a gate can sustain over its lifetime. Are you building for the next five years? ten? twenty? One hundred? Eternity? Durability usually wants the highest quality available. And the moving parts get the worse end of the deal. So consider heavy-duty hinges and latches. Spring-loaded self-closing hinges especially, as the springs need to keep doing their job for a long time. Remember too that all the hardware, metal, and wood are going to be exposed to the weather 24-7, and that means rust, corrosion, paint flaking, warping, sagging, etc. Just like us, in fact!
As for coatings, especially on wood, don't skimp here. Make sure the wood is clean and dry before starting to apply stains or paint. Use an air compressor or canned air to thoroughly clean all the dust from the surfaces. Apply your undercoats in thin applications, and permit them to dry as long as you can before the next coat. Be sure to use a light steel-wool to dull the surface between coats. Use at least two undercoats, more if you've the patience. On your top coats, use the best quality paint or sealers you can find. While it is nearly impossible to find oil-based anything today, at least pay for the top quality available. Never use indoor-rated coatings – that's like asking nature to pop you in the snoot, right? Remember the coating protects the wood against moisture first and foremost. Dirt, wind, blowing dust, kids kicking the gate, dogs jumping up on the gate, etc., all abrasions will slowly but surely erode the coatings, and you will need to periodically revisit this important task. Remember – your gate protects you, so you need to protect your gate!
Remember to choose hardware compatible with your regional weather issues: if you live withing twenty miles of an ocean, be sure the metal parts can withstand salt air. If you live in a tornado zone, make sure your gate is wicked-witch proof – that sort of thing.
The choices you make for the overall design will of course affect the hardware choices. So should your design be for a heavy gate, make sure you select hinges and latches that can handle the load. By the same token, visual weight also needs to be considered – a trim appearance of the body of the gate will not be well served by overly-heavy hinges. It's all about balance.
And speaking of balance, you can actually make your gate self-closing without spring-loaded hinges, merely by hanging the gate so that it always swings closed on its own. This takes some skill, as you don't want the hinges to be working against one another. If you are unclear on how to do this, consult an expert. Otherwise, you will wonder why your gate doesn't work quite the way you intended.

I finished a Red Cedar Bowl and posted it last month. These are the two bowls I cored from it. The first two pictures are of the middle bowl, 9" D X 3" H. 3rd and 4th of the smallest, 6.6" D X 1.75" H. 5th shows rims of both, and the 6th shows the 3 bowls reunited. Finish is a coat of oil. I'll be more patient next time and post them all together.

Really nice looking bowls John. Love the smooth looking subdued finish. Is the top rim shown thicker than the rest of the outside of the bowl is it just a small cove?

Thanks Rick, the rims are parallel all the way to the bottom, I just left enough wood to give a shadow. Makes sanding a lot more difficult but I like adding a little detail for interest.

Thanks Dave. Thanks Weldon, it is from the coast here so I believe it is Western Red Cedar. I love the burls, and have been fortunate to get them. Maybe I'll be trading a set like this for more burls! I think the Cedar down there has nice colours in it, are there any burls on them?

Cedar down here does have some nice color most that I've seen is fairly straight grained and very aromatic. I have not seen any burls but I'm sure there must be some. I have a tree service business close to me that I need to stop by and visit with them. They split and sale most of the larger wood as fire wood. I don't have any place to harvest my own woods except for Hackberry which grows around every fence row at every farm around me.
#10 posted 01-27-2018 03:57 AM
I met a fellow up here (retired now) who took down trees, trimmed trees, etc. and wound up becoming a real good turner, with a garage full of burls. The tree service crew near you would be good guys to meet.

so, the first thing i will expand on is my mother-in-law returning home from iraq.....well let me tell you a little history of this story here for a second....
she started her second tour in iraq i believe....forgive me if im wrong....in january of this year....so she has been gone majority of the year. we communicated with her through facebook, email, and phone. so for a couple weeks before she surprised us that she was home, tom had been telling us that he didnt think she was going to be home in time for our trip to mexico!!!! {eep-which im very excited about}we were all pretty bummed out because of course she is a big part of this family and missy wanted her mom to be there for her wedding. well....the other night tom decided that he was going to have us over for dinner and he was going to invite missy and josh. now, him asking us to eat with him wasnt the thing that gave it away since we normally ate dinner with him every night....what semi gave it away was that he was asking missy and josh over to HIS house to have dinner and HE was going to COOK for US?!?!!?? hmmmm....something fishy is going on...haha. so mike was still at work and he decided he was going to go for a run afterwards so i walked over to my in-laws house {which is literally down the street from our house now} to get some exercise. apparently i almost ruined the surprise because they were planning on both of us coming together and didnt hear the garage door open when i came in. i walked in the door and josh was already there...which was strange too because i knew missy had to work that night...and tom had his camera out and was like..."wait...im just taking pictures tonight...turn around and act surprised ????" so i walked in and set my stuff down and OUT POPPED LISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yipper skipper!!!!!!!!!! what an awesome surprise. were so glad to have her home!

Did you know over 40 million households in the United States have either a dog or cat within the home? That's a lot of domesticated animals living in homes! That also means there are scores of people every year trying to sell a home with pets.
Certainly, our four-legged (or two-legged, for those who have birds) family members have a special place in the hearts those of us looking to sell our home. While many buyers may also have pets, when they shift their focus to a highly personal purchase – like buying a home – pets can become problematic to a real estate deal in several ways:
- Animals can become unpredictable, even nervous when strangers enter the home.
- Some people have a dog or cat phobia!
- Buyers may have pet allergies.
- Buyers do not have, nor do they intend to have pets.
However, there are simple solutions to achieving the best presentation of a home where pets have lived.
Pet Daycare
The first solutions is a temporary pet vacation. Making this happen is easy when you have dates set for open houses as opposed to the impromptu showing where a real estate agent has access to the lockbox on your house (e.g., you need to vacate the house as soon as possible).
When pets become agitated or frightened, there's no guarantee how they will respond. Perhaps they've never bothered previous visitors; this is a different situation because you will not be there to calm them. What's more, did you know you may be financially liable if a home shopper is harmed (dog bites, cat scratches) and decides to litigate? So, temporarily boarding pets is the first thing to consider.
Don't like the idea of temporarily boarding your pets? You can also ask friends or family members to put up Fido or Fluffy for an afternoon.
If that won't work, animal day care facilities and other short-term options are available in most cities, big and small. Think of it this way: it's less costly to board them for a few hours than it is to lose a sale or get hit with a lawsuit due to a biting or scratching incident.
Repair Wear and Tear
As pet owners, we tend to overlook the wear and tear our furry, fuzzy, or feathered family members create in our homes. But, buyers seeing your home for the first time will notice! And they don't have the same emotional attachment and forgiving attitude toward your pets. They'll want a clean, uncluttered space that they can easily picture as their new home.
Does your dog like to dig holes in your yard? It's time to fill them, and do whatever is required to make the property attractive to potential buyers. Inside your home, look for scratches and carpet tears. Sometimes replacing the carpet in small areas of your house might be required, depending on the amount of the damage. Placing an area or throw rug over the area for the showing is a quick fix, but the space underneath will still need to repair.
From a buyer's perspective, wear and tear are unattractive and represent additional costs to make a home feel squared away. Home buyers typically require owners to fix any damages (big or small); this is likely to be one of the contingencies before closing escrow.
Clear the Air of Pet Odor
Pet odor can be a big turn off the people who look at your home. Remove kitty litter boxes for the showing. Make sure the property is free from droppings, too!
Get your listing agent, friends or neighbors to do a "smell check" after you've cleaned and removed pet toys, bedding, and food. Visitors should not detect the smell of wet dog or the kitty's sandbox.
Home selling can be an emotionally charged process the people who come to view your house. Take some time to see (and smell) the home from the buyer's perspective; it will give you a better vantage point for improving the likelihood of completing the sale. Creating a buyer-friendly atmosphere works to your benefit!

Warren Beatty reportedly recuts ''Town and Country''
Plus, plans for a ''Blue Streak'' sequel
A PAT ANSWER PMK publicity maven Pat Kingsley recently sent a memo to journalists in defense of client Warren Beatty and his involvement with New Line's long delayed "Town and Country," the budget of which is reported to have crept toward $90 million. "Warren Beatty was in no way responsible for any cost increases whatsoever," she writes, continuing, "He signed on to do 'Town and Country' as a hired actor with no responsibility for production, writing, or directorial decisions. He has…meticulously avoided making any demands regarding the casting, production, and distribution of the movie."
However, Beatty has apparently made strong suggestions in terms of editing: In December, the actor spent several weeks cutting his own version of the movie; he also worked on developing a voiceover for his character. New Line is sticking to the original cut of the film, the release date of which has reportedly been bumped — no exaggeration — 12 times. "Town and Country" is currently scheduled to open on April 20.
FURTHERMORE Blue Streak screenwriter Steve Carpenter has just handed in a script for the sequel, which will reteam director Les Mayfield and Martin Lawrence. "If the first one was 'cop for a day,' this is 'spy for a day,' with Martin getting drafted by the CIA," says producer Toby Jaffe, who hopes the Columbia project will go in September…. Ben Stiller may play a cowboy in "Bullrider," a Paramount drama set in the Texas rodeo world. Based on an idea by producer Christine Peters and written by Peter James Cooper, "Bullrider" should be ready to shoot before the June 30 SAG strike deadline.

Recommended Computer Programs for Home-Based Business Communications to Operate More Efficiently
In today's world, we have almost endless options for communication. Postal mail, email, and videoconferencing are just a few of our choices for keeping in contact with vendors and clients around the globe. Yet the sheer number of choices can lead to confusion. Many options are quite costly, so a balance must be found between function and price.
It's now fairly easy to use a computer as a multi purpose communications tool for your home business, since computer programs are available that include provide telephone service, fax capabilities, video conferencing, and internet. Alternatively, dedicated hardware can be used for each of these functions.
Whether or not to use your computer for various forms of communications depends largely on the power of your system. Communications tools are resource-heavy, requiring large amounts of free hard drive space, as well as taking over most of the computer's RAM when in use. Additionally, most programs become resident in your system tray, meaning that they use a portion of your resources even when not actively in use. Powerful new computers can handle this easily, with no loss of usability. However, older or less powerful computers may show a decided decline in performance due to the utilization of virtual memory and hard drive space.
Assuming that your computer has the capability for it, using communications software has several advantages. Many programs, especially if they are packaged together, will work in unison. This allows the computer to answer the phone and automatically direct the call appropriately. Elaborate voice mail networks can be created, which give the impression that your company is divided into a number of different departments. This adds authenticity and trust in the eyes of the consumer. Additionally, separate components take up space. The more tools housed on your computer, the less devices need to be spread throughout the room.
If your work is performed primarily on the computer, it may be to your disadvantage to set up your communications through your main computer. Pop-up windows will appear every time the phone rings, over whatever you may be involved in. Some business owners find this significantly more distracting than simply answering a regular phone. So, every window that opens leads to another possibilty for a system freeze or crash. This could lead to loss of data.
Another possibility is to obtain software for your own use in dialing out or sending faxes, but install separate components to handle incoming communications. This solution offers maximum flexibility, but requires a higher initial cost outlay. This also has all the drawbacks of both options.
The options are staggering in communications software. Price is not necessarily indicative of quality, and quality varies dramatically between programs. A low quality program is worse than no software at all, as it may drop calls, cut off faxes, and cause conflicts with other programs. Conversely, high quality software will be easy to use, reliable, and highly functional. It is advisable that you read reviews and speak with other users to determine which program is best for you. If you are willing to put in the effort, the right communications software can turn your computer into an important worldwide access point.

Artist . Creator . Designer
Welcome to the portfolio of Sophie Hall, a place where you can discover her work, skills, and professional experience, as well as shop for unique and beautiful pieces of wall art. Take a moment to look through the gallery, and get in touch for more information.
When working from life, everyday objects are some of the best to paint: readily available and beautiful in their simplicity. The very nature of these kinds of pictures forces the viewer to pause for a moment to contemplate the extraordinary nature of ordinary objects rendered in paint, hence the genre "still life".
As for many artists, the human face is a complex and fascinating landscape, and one of the most interesting for Sophie. This page demonstrates the style of portrait a client might be able to expect, both with a pencil drawing or a more complex oil painting. For further information, or to enquire about possible commissions please get in touch via the contact page.
Study of the human form is an essential technical skill for artists. This most complex of subjects highlights the beauty and intricacies of the human form.
A selection of paintings in oil paint celebrating the beauty of the North West, with studies of locations from Wales, Derbyshire and the Lake District.
A variety of animal portraits, many developed as commissions for loving pet owners, using watercolour pencils on cold pressed cartridge paper.
In their own words
"...Despite the difficulty of shipping work to where I live Sophie rose to the challenge - the print arrived in perfect condition and absolutely lovely as I had hoped."
B Russell, Taiwan
"...I saw Sophie's original painting of the garlic bulb and cloves, and loved it so much I asked Sophie to paint a reprise for me. It is now hanging in my kitchen and looks great. It reminded me of an old style still life painting, and is very classical. It looks so realistic you feel you could lift the garlic off the canvas."
R Kay, Gloucestershire
"...Thank you so much Sophie, the painting is fabulous! Just lovely and exactly what we wanted to celebrate a special anniversary."

President Trump surely didn't see this one coming did he? I don't believe so. Nor did anyone involved with the Mueller probe apparently. Just when we all thought no traction could possibly happen on the Mueller report any further, today we hear that new subpoenas will be dolled out in rapid fashion. This coming from US House of Representatives.
During a House voting session, Representatives voted 229 to 191 in favor of authorizing civil lawsuits against Trump administration officials who refuse to comply with congressional subpoenas. So what does this mean exactly? Well, it means that the House can toss out subpoenas to get information better than a top-tier NBA team tosses up 3-pointers: with reckless abandon.
But there is a larger ulterior motive here than just getting a bunch of people before the House judiciary committee. This is a blatant targeting of Trump administration Attorney General William Barr and former White House Counsel Don McGahn. Why? Well the answer is obvious. They've both refused to cooperate with congressional subpoenas in relation to the Muller Report. Their reasoning was that the Mueller Report "absolved" President Trump of any wrong doing (even though it didn't) so why would they have to adhere to any congressional subpoenas.
When queried on this vote, House speaker Nanci Pelosi has this to say:
We need answers on many questions left unanswered by the Mueller report which makes clear that the Russians waged an all-out attack on our democracy, and documented – the Mueller report did – 11 instances of obstruction of justice from the White House itself.
The biggest reason why this is important is that the House now has the authority to enforce subpoenas without having to attain full House votes to do so. Thus, House Judiciary Committee Chairmand Jerry Nadler can call anyone he so desires and they must comply or be in contempt of federal court. Which, of course, would not be good in any sense and, further, be a pretty glaring admission of guilt.
Downplaying the events, Nadler said he will give the Justice Department time to comply but:
if important information is held back, then we will have no choice but to enforce our subpoena in court and consider other remedies.
And let's get on thing straight on this. All of this isn't to prove President Trump is guilty of Russian election interference or election tampering with a foreign government. The Mueller Report said there wasn't evidence of this. However, what it DOES give us is ammo to show that President Trump DID obstruct justice in an attempt to stonewall the Mueller Report from ever seeing the light of day.
This is a seriously curious case because on one hand, if Trump were innocent on any level of any alleged crime, he would have let the Mueller Report come out in full and not had a care in the world. On the other, it seems like Trump obstructed justice only to have an anti-climactic outcome with a report that didn't name him guilty of the biggest thing everyone thought; Russian collusion.
What Trump did was clearly an attempt to deflect attention away from Mueller and hiw "witch-hunt," which clearly wasn't because of all the OTHER people who are now behind bars due to high-profile crimes in Trump's name. That's the literal definition of obstruction.
What all of this means is that the House now has another weapon in their arsenal when trying to combat the most backward administration in United States history. What will come of this remains to be seen, but this should start to bring to light a few things that remain hidden from the public eye behind Trump's wall of Tweets.

Nobel Prize in Chemistry
In the 1960s and 1970s, three scientists, working independently, developed closely related methods for creating complex carbon-based molecules, helping to set the stage for a revolution in the development and synthesis of medicines. In October their seminal contribution to modern organic chemistry was honored with the 2010 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences hailed Richard F. Heck, Akira Suzuki, and Ei-ichi Negishi Gr'63 for developing a tool that "has vastly improved the possibilities for chemists to create sophisticated chemicals, for example carbon-based molecules as complex as those created by nature itself."

Hotels in Lombok
Search our Top Lombok Hotels
Top neighbourhoods in Lombok
Top landmarks in Lombok
Find out more about Lombok
Just east of the backpacker haven of Bali lies Lombok, a quieter, more laidback island with a tropical climate. From the long golden beaches to the small hidden bays, there's plenty to discover, and you'll often see scuba divers and fishing enthusiasts enjoying the clear blue waters. The rolling green hills and rugged mountains are also ideal for hiking and exploring, with plenty of space to go off the beaten track.
Kuta Beach has long, flat sands where you'll often see people sunbathing or splashing in the shallow, clear waters. There are several luxury resorts lining the seafront, and you'll find plenty of lively clubs opening once the sun goes down. Sekotong Beach is surrounded by coconut groves and has a quieter, more laidback feel. The surrounding area has smaller resorts and fewer tourists, so it's perfect for those looking for a quiet vacation. Beloam Beach is in a secluded bay set in rolling green hills, and along the beachfront you'll find wooden huts and eco-friendly resorts where you can enjoy true seclusion. Bangsal Harbor also has a rugged and natural shoreline, and its clear waters are ideal for scuba diving. You can also enjoy a horseback ride along the windy shores, taking in the rolling mountain scenery across the bay. For a truly dramatic sight, head to Pantai Pink which is a beach where the sands appear to be bright pink, and it's during sunset when you'll get the best views of this unique stretch of shoreline.
Hotels in Lombok
There are plenty of hotels in Lombok from cheap guesthouses to luxury villas, so you can find a place to suit your budget. Along the most beautiful stretches of beach you'll often find upmarket 4 to 5 star resorts with features such as cabanas, sun loungers, outdoor pools, tennis courts, and health clubs. Guestrooms often have balconies or patios, as well as amenities such as air-conditioning, complimentary WiFi, LCD televisions, deep soaking bathtubs, designer toiletries, and bathrobes. If you're on a tight budget, then look for homestay accommodation or guesthouses away from the major resorts, and for a modest price you'll enjoy clean, comfortable rooms with extras such as minibars, coffee makers, and televisions with DVD players.
Where to stay
The Gili Islands are a series of small, tropical islands off the coast of Lombok, and these resorts used to be popular with backpackers. Nowadays you're more likely to see luxury resorts and families on vacation, although they still have a bohemian vibe with beachfront bars and surf shops. The Senggigi Beach area includes Mangsit which is a popular strip of hotels and resorts, set along white sandy beaches and the clear ocean. Outside of the major hotels it's a small and quiet resort, with a few bars and restaurants, and lots of green areas with tropical flowers. Mataram is a lively city with streets lined with tempting food stalls, and you'll also find one of the island's biggest malls as well as dozens of boutiques in the area.
How to get to Lombok
Lombok International Airport is based on the south of the island, with flights arriving from Singapore, Australia, and the capital of Jakarta. From the airport there are public bus services running to Mataram and Senggigi, as well as private shuttles to the major resorts, with most transfers taking under 90 minutes. There are also taxis waiting outside which run on a meter, or you can pick up a rental car if you really want to be able to explore the island.

Since the days of St. Paul of the Cross, the Passionists have turned to the Cross and asked "Who is this?" and "Why is he here?"
Paul did this in the 18th century in the squares of poor little Italian towns of the Tuscan Maremma where he would preach for a number of days before going on to the next town. He preached and prayed before this image and told his hearers to keep in mind the Passion of Jesus. Many were illiterate so crucifixes and pictures in their churches and homes, as well as wayside shrines, were ways they related to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
In the early church there were no crucifixes, of course. At least for the first five centuries there were no realistic portrayals of Jesus on the Cross. Why? Because crucifixion was a common form of execution in the Roman world and people found it too horrible to speak about or visualize.
That reticence appears, for example, in St. Luke's account of the disciples on the way to Emmaus after Jesus was crucified. A mysterious stranger asks why they're sad. "One of them, named Cleopas, said to him 'Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know of the things that have taken place there in these days?'And he replied to them, 'What sort of things?' They said to him, 'The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him.'"
All they say about "the things that happened is "… Our chief priests and rulers handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him."
Jesus tells them then to take a look at these things in another way: through the scriptures. Through Moses and the prophets, he describes what happened to him. Later, the Passion accounts of the four gospels rely heavily on these same scriptures for framing the story of the crucifixion and events around it.
So many of our media portrayals today, like Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, Bill O'Reilly's Killing Jesus, the specials from CNN and the other networks seem to me to be interested more in the historical aspects of the gospels than their meaning.
The great questions still are: "Who is this?" and "Why is he here?"
Who is he who cries out "My God, my God why have you forsaken me?" God made flesh?
Then why did he come, why did he die in such a way? Questions that send us to the scriptures and bring us before God and cause us to wonder and praise.

Value Hacking
Value Hacking: The full-stack strategic framework to shape, scale and dominate your own billion-dollar game in the digital era.
Value Hacking is a strategic framework that aims primarily at shaping, scaling and dominating your own value game, rather than competing in the game you find. Most successful companies are perpetual mutant organizations that play continuously with game's boundaries and rules. That explains that when the result of the creation is something truly singular and valuable there is no room for replication, copycatting and competition. The next big thing will not be another version Alibaba, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Tesla, or WeChat. If you are just copying these companies, you are not learning anything from them.But what you can really learn is that everything around you, from the most bright idea to the most beautiful thing, was made by people like you. And you can create new bright ideas to influence people and you can create new beautiful things to delight people. You must create, not compete for what is already created. Life is about creating your own game, not just playing the game you find. Once you realize that, the sky is the limit.
La Teoría del Huevo Kinder
The Kinder Joy's Theory: Happiness is the secret gene of the most successful and admired companies in the world.
There's a new kind of company model that put people and happiness first. But what's remarkable is how, in making this strategic choice, these companies are becoming highly profitable. Companies like Amazon, Apple, BMW, Burberry, Cirque du Soleil, Discovery, Disney, FC Barcelona, Ferrero, Four Seasons, Google, Morning Star, Netflix, Nike, P&G, Salesforce.com, Starbucks, South West, Virgin, Zara or Zappos are great examples of a new business paradigm based on the purpose of making people happy. By placing the happiness of their customers and employees first, they've created incredibly strong cultures and and highly profitable business models. It is the magic of creating value through a happiness virtuous circle that connects customers, employees and shareholders.
Networknomics: A new paradigm of value creation in the economy of creativity, connectivity and collaboration
Old business paradigms don't work properly in a digitally hyperconnected world. This new environment help people and their organizations to co-create value in ways that were unimaginable a few decades ago. As business become more network-like, with ecosystems becoming the norm and not the exception, value creation requires more networked frameworks. Networknomics is an invitation to rethink value creation itself because it depends heavily on those with whom one connects, and in connecting, who co-create value. The transition from chains to networks calls for a shift from a strategic frame centred upon creativity, connectivity and collaboration. This represents the roots of new strategic plays, innovative business models, organizational models, and management styles.

"I've got a college student that's going to be coming home from school,' Abernathy said. 'We're running out of room. So, we'll be looking to be making some donations as well to free up some space at home."
Fans drove away with vouchers for half-price tickets and coupons to fritz's frozen custard. Goodwill CEO Louis Chartock says dell will recycle the products responsibly.
"Every hard drive is wiped clean,' Chartock said. 'So that there is no personal information that goes out."
The Goodwill didn't just take your high-tech junk. They also want your low-tech donations.
"I brought clothes today,' said Cardinals Museum curator Paula Homan. 'I went through my dressers and pulled out a lot of things that I'm just not wearing anymore. I know that they can be reused by other people or recycled in appropriate ways."

What is Behind the Sudden Surge of Child Migrants? The Case of the Northern Triangle and Mexico
37 Pages Posted: 1 Aug 2018
Date Written: July 12, 2018
Since 2009 there has been a significant increase in the number of unaccompanied child migrants, family units and adults from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala arriving at U.S. borders. This paper uses Customs and Border Protection data and data from the countries of origin of these children to identify the causes behind the sudden surge in the number of children arriving at U.S. borders. The results suggest that violence in the countries of origin is a key driver of child migration. The results are also consistent with a learning model, in which families, after being exposed to several policy interventions that aim to deter child migration, decrease their likelihood of sending a child. This is the case even when violence towards children has increased.

Economics: The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, use of Knowledge in the society by Hayek. Relationship between the theses of the two Authors. (Math Problem Sample)
Dear Sir/Madam, Please follow the instructions and if you need any further information, feel free to message me. Thank You!
Please note that you are encouraged to work with your classmates. However, I take a very dim view of assignments which are identical: you are referred to the section on Student Misconduct in the University of Calgary Calendar for the possible consequences of not handing in your own work. You should assume that the person grading this assignment has no previous knowledge of economics. Hence your answers need to be intelligible, coherent, and comprehensive. All graphs should be graphed to scale (use graph paper), readily decipherable, and clearly labelled. You might find it helpful to read through the assignment, then go and read your class notes and the parts of the text which seem relevant and only then try and do the questions. Attempting this assignment without consulting your notes and the text is hazardous to your health and your grade. Please read the preceding sentence again! An understanding of the theory informs how to set the model up, i.e., what mathematics are required. A little thought in how to set the model up can save a great deal of time flailing away doing unproductive mathematics. Part 1: Exploratory Questions 1. Write a two page essay which explains the basic ideas found in A. Smith's Wealth of Nations, Volume 1, Book 1, Chapters 1-3 and in F. Hayek's "The Use of Knowledge in Society." What is the relationship between the theses of these two authors? How is their discussion related to the role prices play in a market economy? F15 Econ 301(02) Problem Set 3 Page 2 2. Read Chapter 1 of T. Schelling's Economic Reasoning and the Ethics of Policy. Explain his argument why an airport that provides service to a low income town should not have the same quality of landing lights as an airport in a town with a higher income. Schelling shared the Nobel Prize in Economics for 2005. Part 2: Problems 1. The production function for oranges on Orange Island is y = L 1/2 if K ≥ 1. However if K < 1, then y = 0 regardless of the amount of L utilized, where y is the output of oranges, L is labour input and K is land input. The demand for oranges is D(p) = 100 − p. The input price of labour is 4; for land 100. (a) If a firm is cost minimizing, how much land does it use? (b) Find the average avoidable cost functions for a firm which produces y. [HINT: Assume K is fixed in the short run.] (c) Find a competitive firm's supply function. If there are n firms in the industry, What is industry supply? [HINT: The short-run marginal cost function is MCSR(y) = 8y.] (d) Suppose that there are two firms in the industry and that they are price takers. What are the equilibrium price and quantity? Firm supply and profits? Using two diagrams graph this competitive equilibrium. In one diagram illustrate the market equilibrium. In the second show the equilibrium position of a representative firm. On this second diagram make sure you indicate the profit maximizing output of a firm and the profit earned. (e) Is the equilibrium you found in part (d) a short-run or long-run equilibrium? Why? If the industry is not in long-run equilibrium, explain the adjustment process that will occur. (f) The efficient scale of production is 5. What is the efficient average cost? (g) What are the long-run equilibrium price, quantity, and number of firms? 2. After the industry has reached the long-run equilibrium in the preceding problem, the government imposes a version of "a we need revenue and everyone knows that we can impose taxes on carbon because it is bad" tax. F15 Econ 301(02) Problem Set 3 Page 3 Specifically, it charges the firm a per unit tax of $10 based on its CO2 emissions. (a) Find the new short-run equilibrium price, quantity and firm supply. Graph the before and after tax short-run market and firm equilibrium (supra 3d). [HINT: How does the tax affect the marginal cost of a firm?] What percentage of the tax is passed on to consumers in the short-run? What is the change in total surplus, where total surplus = consumers surplus + producers surplus + government revenue? (b) Find the new long-run competitive equilibrium. What is the long-run competitive equilibrium number of firms? Describe the adjustment process that must occur. On your two diagrams from part a), indicate the long-run market and firm equilibrium. What percentage of the tax is eventually passed on to consumers? 3. There are two types of gold mines in the world. The short-run cost function for the low cost producers is c l (q) = q 2 . The marginal cost of a low cost producer is MCl SR = 2q. There is a perfectly elastic supply of high cost producers at price equals 4. The demand curve for gold is p = 30 − Q. (a) What is the supply curve of a low cost producer? (b) What it the market supply of low cost gold producers? (c) What is the market supply curve? (d) What is the equilibrium price, market equilibrium quantity, aggregate production of the high cost firms, production by the low cost producer, and quasi-rents of the low cost firm? (e) Let the fixed and sunk cost of the low cost firm equal f. For what value of f does the low cost producer make economic profits? Explain. (f) How much would you pay for the low cost producer's gold mine if the interest rate was 5%? If you paid your maximum, what would be your economic profits?source..

1 The Wealth of Nations by "Adam Smith;
The book is an opposition of the mercantilist system. According to the mercantilist, the wealth was fixed and finite, therefore the only way to prosper was to reserve tariff products and gold from abroad. The implication was that the nations would sell goods abroad without having to buy anything in return. This caused rounds of retaliatory tariffs that affected international trade massively.
The main principal of Smith's thesis was that what causes prosperity is the man's natural tendency to self-interest. This means, giving people freedom to produce and sell goods as they wanted. In turn, the free trade would open up all markets both domestic and international to competition. Smith believed that when people have the natural self-interest that would bring universal opulence with little exertion from the nation's government.
In enlightened self-interest, Smith gave an example of a butcher. The butcher does not supply meat because he is good hearted rather because he gains profit. It is in the interest of the butcher to sell meat at a good price that the customers will be willing to buy so that all parties will benefit in that transaction. Other elements to prosperity that Smith believed in include; limited government as well as solid currency and a free-market economy.
"Use of Knowledge in the society" by Hayek
According to Hayek, the knowledge problem explains how the market economy overpowers the difficulties in the dispersed knowledge of supply and demand, the specific plans and inclinations for both producers and consumers. Hayek argues that the economic data for the whole society is never given to a specific mind or to any individual in totality. An economic order attributed as rational is a hall mark of the state of affairs, whereby, the relevant information in a state of affairs exists. Hayek also denotes that planning is done by many people in a regionalized manner.
Hayek opinionates that the diverse ways that are used to communicate knowledge based on the plans of the people is the vital problem for the theories ascertaining the economic process. Further, individual knowledge with regard to specific circumstances of time and place is fundamental. This encompasses the knowledge that particular business people acquire about their markets, stocks, capital goods and trades among others.
To deal with any changes in the economy, the people who know their businesses, resources or markets are the best to make the decisions. This is so, because the business people need to match their decisions to the entire pattern of the changes in the larger economic system. Hayek asserts that the price system conveys this message. For instance, when the demand of tin increases, the price also rises and in turn the consumers must economize tin.
Relationship between the theses of the two Authors
The relationship between the two authors is on the markets and self-interest. According to Smith, the markets allow self-interests to be channeled in different approaches so as to serve the interests of the society. For instance, profits will encourage a business person to produce more. According to Hayek, signals from profit or loss will substitute the direct knowledge that is available in the world. Profit and losses are a link to self-interest of producers to the public interest. When there are changes in the economy, producers must be knowledgeable about the public interest to create value and make profit.
The role prices play in a market economy
The prices serve as a symbol to know what others want in the market. Prices will reflect on the preferences of the buyers. When a consumers buy a packet of milk, they not only satisfies thirst but also signals to the market w...

I'm getting really tired of moderated blog commenting.
If you allow comments on your blog, but only those that are allowed after your "moderated" them, I'd urge you to rethink. I understand there are those that take great delight in buggering up someone's comments with spam or harsh language, but if you have a post that welcomes comments but they don't show up for hours because you haven't looked at them yet....what's the point?
And how do we know you're not censoring the ones that don't agree with you?
I totally understand those that don't allow comments at all - that's fine. If I disagree or want to make a point to you, I'll use e-mail. But don't allow comments but leave it to your whim who's worthy of posting. Comments are for back-and-forth discussion on the topic at hand by those in the outside world.
Make up your minds.
PS. I'll never moderate my comments. Go for it.

Boston, MA, Oct. 15-16, 2018
Former White House CIO and CBS star Theresa Payton will keynote the two-day event, focused on the threat landscape, boardroom involvement and the tools to shore up vulnerabilities.
Despite constant warnings and routine breach reports, the healthcare sector continues to struggle with some of the security basics: patch management, funding, network segmentation and the like. Combined with continue security staffing shortages, cybersecurity issues will continue into the indefinite future.
While some organizations have made progress, the industry still has a lot of work to do. These challenges, combined with the current threat landscape will be highlighted at the next HIMSS Healthcare Security Forum in Boston from Oct. 15-16.
The keynote speaker, former White House CIO and CBS star Theresa Payton, will dive into cybersecurity from the dark web criminals to the threat landscape. She'll also outline ways organizations can prepare both their staff and network to prevent becoming another cybersecurity victim.
Industry leaders will also share insights about how both the threat landscape and processes have changed, while showcasing the areas where healthcare has improved -- including increased resources and better technology. There will also be actionable advice on how to improve cybersecurity within an organization.
UC California researchers Christian Dameff, MD and Jeff Tully, MD, for instance, will provide real-life simulation of the real patient risk posed by medical device hacks. There will even be a time for questions, so that organizations can both better understand the risk -- and begin to shore up the threat.
The audience will also hear from two healthcare CISOs on the challenges to managing third-party risk, while interacting with the audience to engage with how best to oversee, monitor and manage this major vulnerability.

The 5-year-old boy, who has undergone the diaphragm pacemaker grafting for the first time in Hungary, needed artificial respiration continuously at night. Dr. Béla Merkely, Rector of Semmelweis University, claimed that the innovative intervention seldom happens in Europe. Dr. Attila Szabó, Director of the 1st Department of Paediatrics, Vice-rector for Clinical Affairs, explained that the young boy is well, his respiration is regular and continuous. As Dr. Csaba Lódi, the leader of the department's Intensive Care Unit, the boy's therapist, claimed that the boy suffered from a rare, inborn disease and one of the symptoms is that respiration stops during sleeping, but due to the intervention done by Dr. Attila Kálmán, the young boy breathes without a respiratory machine.
The knowledge used in medicine doubles in every one and a half-two year time, which is a great success and it gives newer and newer chances to help patients – highlighted Dr. Béla Merkely. The rector of the university added that Semmelweis University, as the flagship of medical training, finds innovation and implementing new intervention techniques into practice important. The rector also emphasised that the new intervention method infiltrates into education that leads to another new innovation and finally it improves patient care. Dr. Merkely said that the recently used intervention is a novelty not only in Hungary but also in other countries of Eastern-Central Europe. The rector found it joyful that they could help a child with this intervention. Dr. Merkely also said that applying novelties and innovative solutions have great significance in medical training, which is beneficial not only to the patients but also to the students of the university.
Dr. Attila Szabó, Vice-rector for Clinical Affairs, Director of the 1st Department of Paediatrics, said that the 1st Department of Paediatrics is the oldest paediatric institute in Hungary and the 4th oldest one in Europe that gave place to innovative interventions, researches and the appearance of them in patient care. The Vice-rector added that the department is a front-line fighter for using the latest methods in patients as soon as possible. Dr. Szabó explained that the device was implanted by Dr. Attila Kálmán, Director of the Paediatric Surgery Unit, by a so-called keyhole surgery method. This method is special because in the case of implementing new devices usually open operation technique is used, but Dr. Kálmán was prepared to make the operation with the smallest intervention. Dr. Szabó explained that the child has a rare disease: the respiration center of the central nervous system does not work properly so the boy's breathing stops during sleeping. The new device regularly and periodically stimulates one of our most important respiratory muscles, the diaphragm, therefore the boy will be able to breathe independently so he will not need a respiratory machine and his quality of life can develop significantly. The director highlighted that they would put their effort into making the most modern diagnostic and therapeutic methods available for the patients.
Dr. Csaba Lódi, the leader of the department's Intensive Care Unit, introduced the operating principle of the new device. The components of the device are the stimulating electrode implanted onto the diaphragm nerve, the radio sound receiver put into the tissue under the skin and the external device (signal circuit and antenna).
According to the diaphragm nerve, a bilateral antenna is connected to the external control module and this antenna sends the radio frequency sign through the skin to the receiver, implanted under the skin, and the receiver transforms the signs into electrical impulses and forwards them to the diaphragm nerve. By stimulating the diaphragm nerve, it shrinks and because of the negative pressure in the lung, inspiration happens.
Csaba Hodruszky, another 6-year-old girl's father explained that at the birth of his daughter it turned out that she did not respire. She has a rare genetic disease, she needs continuous artificial respiration. She could be taken home from the hospital after one year, and she still needs artificial respiration at night. She could go to the kindergarten at the age of four, and an intensive nurse must be there to look after her. She needs to go home after lunch to nap a little. The girl has missed a lot of experiences until now, so they are looking forward to the intervention, so the young girl will be able to breathe independently.

An Alcoholic Superhero
"Alcohol is like love. The first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the third is routine."
Raymond Chandler
By Gary;
I ignored Netflix's Jessica Jones for a long time. Heck it came out at the tail end of 2015, and the last thing I wanted was to waste time on a comic hero I never heard of.
Then in 2017 came along Netflix's The Defenders series with Daredevil and Jessica Jones. I was not entirely displeased.
There was a certain something about Jones that caused me to go back to the series. So as I drifted through the Netflix selections there was Jessica Jones again. This time I clicked. . . . not just clicked, but got hooked into another binge watch.
A superhero who is a alcoholic, rude, asshole. Something different.
Shades of Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade we see superhero Jones as an alcoholic greasy private eye in a crappy building surrounded by low lifes and druggies. Jones pretty much does not give a damn about anyone and takes clients to be able to buy booze.
There is a certain 1940s film noir quality to the season one 13 part Jones series. Sort of The Maltese Falcon meets The X-Men if there is such a thing.
I gave season one an 8 out of 10 rating.
Season 2
It took a few days to power through 13 one-hour episodes of season two. That takes some dedication.
The results? Mixed.
The supporting characters played by Carrie-Anne Moss, Eka Darville and Rachael Taylor grew in importance and depth. Krysten Ritter's Jones character remained rather flat in my eyes.
The key weakness of the season was the lack of a true supervillain.
Having Jones' mother as the villain did not cut it with me. Plus the mom's character and acting were rather weak.
In season one Jones was fighting against a mind controlling mutant played by David Tennant. Tennant was fantastic. A hard act to follow.
Also the displayed "superpowers" of the Marvel characters were minimal. Budgets being the main reason I suspect.
I felt season two meandered a bit from character to character. Not really sure what direction to take. The film noir elements were wisely kept in place, but a solid direction was lacking.
The show is well worth watching. But my rating drops it by one point.
Rated 7 out of 10

Eduardo was hanging up the phone when I arrived. I could tell he was puzzled.
"It's funny," he said. "This is the third time I have explained things to my Ron, but it just doesn't sink in. For two years, he was doing great, but now, he seems to be in a fog."
"You are Ron's manager?" I asked. Eduardo shook his head.
"Yes, in fact, he was a good hire. We started him in a little office with only two people. He grew it to six, now he is at twelve. Somewhere along the line, he lost it."
"Alcohol, or drugs?"
"No, I don't think so. He is too conscientious for that," Eduardo observed.
"But he seems to be in a fog? Tell me what has changed in the past year, going from six people to twelve people."
Eduardo looked to the far corner of the room, picturing the changes before he described them. "It's like Ron was supervising the work pretty well, but now he is one step removed. He is now managing a couple of supervisors. Maybe that's the problem. He is too far away from the what he knows how to do?"
"Is it a matter of skill, something he can learn, or is it a matter of capability?"
Outbound Air, Levels of Work in Organizational Structure, by Tom Foster, is now available for Kindle, soon to be released in softcover.

I just spoke to my bro over the weekend. I said I hoped the Dems will trot out Howard Dean, Al Gore, John Kerry, Cindy Shehan, Michael Moore, Ted Kennedy, etc. and give them lots of air time before November. The American people need to hear these cracker jacks speak about how they and their ilk would make our nation better and safer. Let them do all the talking they want.
