Making a Test Board & Rolling Road for Analogue & DCC Model Locos
I've been doing an increasing number of DCC decoder installations and model locomotive repair jobs – both for myself and others – and setting up my tester and rolling road each and every time I needed them was becoming a bit tiresome (not to mention the rat's nest of cables).
After pulling what's left of my hair out for the final time, I decided to put together a small loco and decoder test board, incorporating my LokProgrammer and SPROG, as well as accommodating off-board control integration (DCC and DC/Analogue).
The board also features a rolling road, using DCC Concepts rolling road modules, and my own take on a means to permanently integrate them into a test set up and improve usability, using acrylic sheet, spacers and screws.
You can download a PDF version of the wiring diagram for the test board featured in the video via the link below:
Wiring Diagram for DCC Decoder Test Board & Rolling Road 5.98 MB downloadsThis is a wiring diagram for the decoder/loco test boar and rolling road featured...
This is only one way of approaching a decoder test board setup and there other examples out there. I do recommend that you consider something like this if you're intending to do a lot of decoder installation and maintenance – it saves a lot of time and hassle!
CORRECTION: in the video, I mention the acrylic/perspex sheet as being 6mm when it is actually 4mm. A thickness of 6mm is likely to be too thick and may interfere with the wheel flanges.

DCC Decoder Wiring Diagrams for Non-DCC Ready Locomotives
We're working on a short tutorial looking at DCC decoder installation in older locomotives, such as Lima and Hornby, that are powered by ringfield/pancake-style motors.
To accompany the tutorial, we've produced a PDF containing a series of basic wiring diagrams to help with the installation process. They cover the more modern can-style motors (as found in Bachmann, Heljan, Dapol etc.) as well as the older ringfield ones (similar to those found in many Hornby and Lima models).
There's also a basic diagram for directional lighting and a single Aux channel, such as the Aux 1/green wire available on most low/mid-range decoders, such as Hornby's entry level R8249 8-pin variety.
The wiring principles would be the same for older 'grain of wheat' bulbs, although the resistor value would need to be altered to suit the bulb and track voltage.

What have we got here — a faster version of the current fastest Cayman?
Yes sir. When you see the letters GTS tacked to the back of a Porsche, you know that the engineers in Stuttgart have worked their performance magic. This means that the controversial 2.5-litre four-cylinder boxer engine mounted amidships now thumps out 11kW more than the current Cayman S.
You also gain an extra 10Nm (430Nm total) of torque, which is always welcome. Especially when you reside in the power-sapping heights of Jozi. It's not all added brawn, mind. That GTS badge means that you also score Porsche Torque Vectoring, Porsche Active Suspension Management and the now legendary Sport Chrono Package as standard fare. Don't know what this all means? Quite simply, it translates into better handling, speed and acceleration.
On the transmission side of things you pick between a six-speed manual or PDK.
Sounds great but… do you really like that new four-cylinder motor? Really?
On paper and in practice this turbocharged four-banger is a seriously potent animal. Porsche held the media launch at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, a track with long straights and steep elevations. Not once did the Cayman GTS feel sluggish or underpowered. Even flat-out down the pit straight, it didn't lag that far behind the chase car — a 331kW 911 GTS piloted by a Porsche driving instructor who wasn't holding back.
That easy, turbocharged torque is a big contributor to this pace and is perhaps the single biggest advantage over those now-defunct naturally aspirated six-cylinder units. There is an Achilles heel here, however, and that's in the way it sounds. It simply cannot compare with past Cayman greats (the old GTS, R and GT4), producing what I can only describe as a somewhat coarse and artificial drone. It's like going to a concert expecting to see Oasis but getting a cover band instead.
So you drove it at a track — nice! How did it perform through the bends?
The Cayman has for a long time been the best-handling car in the Porsche stable. And a quick four-lap blast around Kyalami just served to reinforce this fact. Damn, it's good! So good in fact that through the tighter sections — pretty much all the way from Clubhouse through to Leeukop — I was able to close right up onto the back bumper of that aforementioned 911, which is mighty impressive considering that said 911 is R696,000 dearer. Being mid-engined, the 718 GTS is ultra pointy and tucks in towards the apex point with an immediacy that could rival many a racecar.
Some digital torque vectoring wizardry and a proper mechanical limited-slip differential then allow you to get back on the power with full confidence and rip through the corner en route to the next one at some serious bloody pace. Accurately attacking curves and crooks is what the 718 Cayman GTS is all about and it does it better than sports cars double the price.
Does this sabre-sharp track focus mean that it suffers across real-world roads?
No. Not in the slightest. On our drive from Kyalami to Porsche Centre Pretoria the 718 Cayman GTS felt perfectly livable. Taut and firm, yes, but never uncomfortable — quite a feat when you consider it rides on 20-inch wheels.
The cabin, lashed with lots of "sporty" alcantara, is a pleasant place in which to while away the hours and comes with a slick infotainment system that offers full Apple CarPlay integration. Other highlights include unique electrically adjustable sports seats with GTS embossed logo on the headrests. Although they're not bad as seats go I did find them a bit lacking in lateral support when out on the track.
If I buy it won't people look down on me for not purchasing a 911?
Anybody who looks down on you for buying a Cayman over a 911 has mouldy tapioca sloshing around in their head. Yes, back in the early noughties it may have been something of a compromise, but in this day and age the Cayman is as good, and in some instances even better, than its more established sibling.
And here in GTS guise it's something of a bargain: an all-rounder that's as at home around the racetrack as it is drudging its way through city traffic. Indeed, nothing in this price range really comes close to matching its almost annoyingly effortless merging of performance, poise and prestige. Sterling job, Porsche, sterling job.

This Image Of The Last White Rhino LAD Is Breaking The Internet's Heart
As the final known bloke of his subspecies, the last male rhino lives a lonely existence. His name is Sudan and he just needs somebody to love.
Sudan, The Last Male Northern White Rhino
Although there are two female Northern White Rhinos left, breeding attempts with Sudan have not been successful. Apparently they just don't do anything for the 43-year-old rhino.
He is now left waiting for extinction in captivity following the population being reduced by poaching. An image of Sudan was posted on Twitter by Daniel Schneider, a biologist from Boston.
Mr Schneider wrote: "Want to know what extinction looks like? This is the last male Northern White Rhino. The last. Nevermore."
His tweet has received almost 40,000 retweets, and over 1,000 replies.
Steve Marie replied: "Many don't stop 2 realize tht as more species go extinct, the interdependence of species on this Earth is affected and humans' demise is coming." (sic)
And MB Donner said: "Breaking my heart. Humans are the most ruthless animals on Earth."
Earlier this year, the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a 90,000 acre conservation area in Kenya's Laikipia County, partnered with Tinder in an attempt to find a way to help him reproduce by raising $9 million (£6.9m).

Research currently being carried out aims to establish a herd of 10 northern white rhinos after five years using in-vitro fertilization.
Steven Seet, from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Reary, part of the research consortium, said: "Financial support remains the biggest challenge to this project.
"At 43 years, Sudan does not have much longer to live. To win this run against time it is very crucial to find major funds as quickly as possible."
Mathieu Plassard, the Regional Managing Director of Ol Pejeta Conservatory, said in a statement: "We are in a race. A race against the extinction of the northern white rhino species.
"We urgently need to raise awareness and funds for Sudan.
"Funds raised will go towards ongoing research into perfecting in vitro fertilisation technology. "
When users swiped right and 'Matched' with the animal, they were directed toward a page where they could make a donation. To be fair, he looks better than a few of the people I've seen on there.

How to Animate an Illustration in Adobe Photoshop
Colorful art and looping animations come together for a striking composition in Adobe Photoshop. See how digital painter and pattern designer Shyama Golden makes a fun illustration more interesting with animated patterns.
Before You Start
Use these sample files if you'd like, or practice with your own. We provided a Photoshop document with masks over parts of the image so you can focus on animation techniques.
Step 1: Scale to Size
To make sure the images she placed scaled properly, Golden set the general preferences by deselecting Resize Image During Place (Edit > Preferences [Windows] or Photoshop CC > Preferences [macOS]).
Step 2: Pick a Pattern
Next, Golden placed the pattern as an embedded image (File > Place Embedded) to the Right Front Panel layer group, just above the RIGHT side layer. Photoshop placed the image as a Smart Object. She then right-clicked on the pattern layer and chose Create Clipping Mask so the pattern fit within the shirt panel.
Step 3: Prepare to Animate
When Golden was ready to animate the pattern, she opened the Timeline (Windows > Timeline) and dragged the playhead to the 00 mark. Then she selected the shyama_golden_pattern layer in the timeline and moved it to align with the playhead.
Step 4: Transform Your Art
To define the animation properties, Golden twirled open the pattern layer and clicked the stopwatch for the Transform property to create a Transform keyframe.
Then she dragged the playhead to 05:00 and pressed Control-T (Windows) or Command-T (macOS) to open Free Transform. She clicked the pyramid in the Control Bar to use Relative Positioning for the reference point—this converted X and Y to 0.00 px. She changed X to -500 and Y to 500 to move the pattern down and to the left. In order to get a perfectly looping animation, it is important to set the coordinates in increments of 500.
Golden completed the animation by clicking the checkmark, which created a new keyframe. Finally, she selected Loop Playback from the Timeline's flyout menu and clicked Play to test the animation.
Make Some Waves
Liven up the composition by adding patterns to other parts of the illustration. Experiment with changing the positioning of the pattern in each section to create alternating waves of animation.

how to add player support?
I want to ask, if Im making a new music player, and would like to get a plugin for covergloobus, what are the steps to accomplish this? My player with have a dbus interface.

|Alexandr Grigorcea (cahr-gr) said :
dbus is the best way
your dbus interface should have a method(s) to retrieve tracks metadata like title, album, artist, ( also it will be nice to have year, genre, tracknumber), rating if the player supports ratings,
it should have a way to check players state: playing, paused, stopped
it is also usefull to know track files location (path)
path to cover is not required (CG has its own ways to find cover from filesystem and web) but it us better to have this also
it will be very usefull if your player will emit some signals when something happens, like StatusChanged when status changes (playing, paused, stoped etc.) and TrackChanged when trach changes.
new CG versions will support setting rating and seekbar so it will be nice to have something like SetRating method and SetPosition/
after that you have to create a CG plugin (just look other plugins inside src/players/ folder, they are pretty simple) or just report your player to us and we'll help to make the plugin
that's all
here is and example of a good dbus interface, though it has no SetRating, but you are free to add it
another examples:
Rhythmbox has a very powerfull and complete dbus interface
also latest git and bazzar versions of Banshee and Exaile 3.x have nice interfaces
I hope it will help you

More than 30 years' experience in the construction industry
The surveys and most of the work carried out on your property will be carried out by myself, Graeme Locke. I have been in the construction industry for more than 30 years and have an extensive knowledge of traditionally constructed buildings, domestic and commercial, gained by qualification and many years of hands-on experience.
Construction industry qualifications and accreditations
I started my carrier as a joiner and ran my own small construction business for 18 years. Later I decided that I wanted to know more about building pathology and therefore gained my degree (B.Sc.) in building surveying. Once I had achieved this, I moved on to attain my Home Inspectors Diploma via the Building Research Establishment (BRE). I then worked in the professional sector as a building surveyor and valuer were I achieved my associate membership of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Following on from this, I worked as a surveyor for a short period in the Remedial Treatment Industry.
I am also an accredited Commercial and Residential Energy Assessor.
I have always had a passion for construction and how buildings deteriorate and the subsequent repair methods. Therefore I decided to set up this business using both my surveying skills and practical skills thereby providing the full service (survey and treatment) should you require it.

Army, Caleb Landry Jones, Callum Turner, David Thewlis, Drama, John Boorman, Korean War, National Service, Pat Shortt, Regimental clock, Review, Richard E. Grant, Sequel, Tamsin Egerton, The Fifties, The Sphinx, Vanessa Kirby
D: John Boorman / 110m
Cast: Caleb Landry Jones, Callum Turner, Pat Shortt, David Thewlis, Richard E. Grant, Vanessa Kirby, Tamsin Egerton, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Sinéad Cusack, David Hayman, John Standing, Brian F. O'Byrne, Julian Wadham
Nine years after the events depicted in Hope and Glory (1987), eighteen year old Bill Rohan (Turner) is nurturing a desire to get into movie making. But National Service comes along and Bill is conscripted into the Army, where his skills lead him – and his friend Percy (Jones) – to teaching other conscripts how to type. With the threat of being transferred to the front line in Korea hovering over them, Bill and Percy make the best of their lot, including continual run-ins with their immediate superior, the punctilious Sergeant-Major Bradley (Thewlis). They find a comrade in skiver Private Redmond (Shortt), and resolve to steal the regimental clock as a two-fingered salute to one of their senior officers, the pompous, overbearing RSM Digby.
While Bill and Percy circumvent the rules with seeming impunity, they also find love: Percy with nurse Sophie (Edwards), and Bill with emotionally distant Ophelia (Egerton). But the course of true love fails to run smoothly for either of them, with Ophelia proving complicit in an abusive relationship, and Percy showing no signs of committing to Sophie. Their run-ins with Sgt-Major Bradley escalate to the point where they turn the tables on him, a decision which has unforeseen consequences. The search for the regimental clock leads Private Redmond – suspected by Digby and Major Cross (Grant), the officer in charge – to ratting on Percy to avoid being sent to Korea. With his friend facing a court-martial, and his affair with Ophelia offering no comfort, Bill's rite of passage to adulthood proves a rockier experience than he ever expected.
Widely reported as John Boorman's swan song movie, Queen & Country is a largely disappointing end to a career that has had some tremendous highs – Point Blank (1967), Deliverance (1972), The General (1998) – and one incredible low – Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977). What's disappointing is that Boorman has failed to inject the same kind of nostalgic bonhomie that made Hope and Glory such a joy to watch. And though the movie is based on Boorman's own experiences in the Fifties, there's little here that resonates as effectively as his experiences of World War II. It's a shame, as the movie will generate a lot of interest due to the warm regard held by its predecessor, but anyone persuaded to watch this as part of a Boorman double bill with Hope and Glory would do well to choose something else (the undervalued Leo the Last (1970) perhaps).
This isn't to say that the movie is a complete disaster – Boorman is too good a director for that, and the material does have moments where it's both affecting and heartfelt. Bill's despair at the actions of Ophelia tugs at the heartstrings, while Bradley's officious nature hides a man struggling to maintain his sanity. The performances range from the credulous (Jones, all sniggering, body-wracking obnoxiousness), to the pantomimic (Grant, operating at a level of high-strung anxiety that would look less out of place in a drawing-room farce), while Egerton strikes a chilling note as an upper-class object of desire who has no idea of her own self-worth. Turner is okay as the older Bill, but thanks to Boorman's script, is hampered by being too likeable throughout, and isn't allowed to show any other facets of the character. But the standout is Kirby as Bill's rapacious sister, Dawn, a force of nature that the script – thankfully – fails to keep a lid on. References to Bill's family living near to Shepperton Studios hint at his future endeavours and there's a lovely final shot that is as succinct as it is emotive. If Boorman is persuaded to continue making movies, his take on starting out in the industry would be well worth waiting for.
Rating: 5/10 – awkwardly irreverent in its dealings with the Army, but on surer ground in its more emotional relationships, Queen & Country is a mix of drama and comedy that never quite gels; with some scenes that feel extraneous, and others that seem burdened by the need to harken back to Hope and Glory, this is a movie that – sadly – promises more than it actually delivers.

The past few years have seen pundits fretting over the future of the dollar, but it's place has never been more secure.
Don't look now, but the U.S. dollar is on a tear. Here's Geoffrey Smith with the details:
The U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the buck against six major western currencies but not against emerging market currencies such as China's yuan, has risen 7.1% in the third quarter, its biggest quarterly rise since the 2008 market panic . . . the world's premier reserve currency is also at seven-month highs against Brazil's real and Mexico's peso, and near a six-month high against India's rupee. The only major trading partner it isn't strengthening against is the yuan, partly because of weaker demand for commodities (which are priced in dollars) from a slowing Chinese industrials sector.
That's right, despite the many warnings in recent years that Fed policies are destroying the value of the dollar, the greenback hasn't been stronger since the financial crisis. As Smith points out, the short-term reasons for the dollar's surge is clear: the Federal Reserve is winding down its bond buying program while Japan is still pumping reserves into its banking system and Europe

Clermont Draft Legal Challenge is a really fun event, that I participated in for the first time. Near Orlando, FL, the event features draft legal sprint distance racing, with races on Saturday and Sunday. Draft legal racing is very tactical, especially the bike leg, where it is all close quarters and you can work with a lead pack to stay in the game. No tri or time trial bikes here. There are strict rules requiring traditional road bike setups for safety and accident avoidance. This targets top amateurs who wish to gain Elite status in USAT. Top 3 on either day earns that credential. I got a 6th and a 9th. Not bad for only having raced one draft legal event prior.
I recorded a 59:45 on Saturday, with a 3rd place swim, and I hung in with everyone on the bike, but I gave up a minute on the run to the leaders who threw down 16:00 5K's, a pr mile pace of about 5:10. It was fun on Saturday being in the front group as we had a great pack working together and making sure the chase pack didn't catch us.
Sunday, I was a bit tired from Saturday and went a 1:00:05, for 9th place. I had a good swim again but my T1 was bad and I got strung out between the lead swimmers and then some guys that formed a chase pack. I ended up waiting for the chase pack even though looking back I probably should have gone for the leaders. There are moments when you have to make decisions in these types of races that can either make or break it. Despite not being in the lead pack, the chase pack worked amazingly well together and we actually caught the leaders. This was really cool. Steven Mantell, of Colorado State, was a powerhouse and got a lot of the guys to work hard. Eventually it ended up being a pack of about 30 coming into T2. I felt gassed on the run and just was happy to finish.
Overall, it was a nice trip to Florida to start my spring break. I even got to see my Aunt Lisa and cousins who live in Orlando.

While securing a mysterious Preserver device in an abandoned weapons facility on Vador III, the crew of the Discovery is ambushed by the Breen, who steal the device. Apparently the device is one of two that has the ability to transport anything and anyone to any point in space and time in the universe, the other being on Discovery. Once used together, this potential temporal weapon will only spell the end of civilization as we know it. The Discovery's paramount responsibility is to prevent the weapon being exploited by the enemy. After a brief skirmish, they follow the lead to the Breen homeworld, where they engage the enemy, taking heavy casualties and sustaining irreparable damage to the ship. When they are boarded by Breen soldiers, Lt. Cmdr. Blueheart orders the crew to abandon ship and initiates the self-destruct sequence!
Just then, the USS Discovery-F, led by Admiral Waltas and the survivors of the Discovery-C thawed back to life, arrives on the scene from the year 2576. The present-day crew learn that the temporal weapon had corrupted the timeline, causing the Discovery to be destroyed and crashed on the Breen planet, and Starfleet to become a socialist military state. The future crew had returned back in time to restore the timeline and save the crew from their tragic fate. Since time has been altered, all the crew has to remember the heroic rescue is a green crystal around Captain Waltas's neck, which they will soon discover contains messages from their future selves.

October Plot Summary: USS Discovery-C
After the heroic rescue of Captain Waltas, two other Starfleet officers, and Major Collim Denari of the Bajoran Intelligence from the evil clutches of the ruthless smuggler Rambling Rose and her nefarious thugs, the Discovery handed the crooks over to the Iotian authorities. During the stopover at Iotia, the Discovery also detected the emergency beacon of the downed shuttle D'ona, which was carrying Lt JG Tian and CPO Risette, and they were rescued from the frozen polar wasteland. Unfortunately, chief of security Lieutenant Nickels and his pet clee were critically injured and rendered comatose following the smugglers' terrorist attacks on Iotia.
The Discovery is currently docked at Deep Space 285 for a refit and a well-deserved respite for the frazzled crew, while waiting for their next mission assignment. Many officers are dealing with inter- and intrapersonal conflicts, a few among them even desperately battling the demons inside them. Meanwhile, Captain Waltas has surprised the crew with an unprecedented shipwide inspection.
September Plot Summary: USS Discovery-C
While at Sigma Iotia II for shore leave as well as to assist Lt Nickels whose family has gotten itself in trouble with a band of ruthless smugglers, Captain Waltas was kidnapped, along with helms officer Lt JG Jorus Cogud and Ensign Amy Young, by the head of the smugglers, the nefarious Rambling Rose, aboard her vessel The Rover. Shore leave was immediately canceled and the crew recalled. The Discovery is currently in search of The Rover and is being aided by a Romulan warbird, the Q'kaleh, whose cloaking device was stolen by the smugglers and being used to elude her pursuers. While on The Rover, Captain Waltas and the two officers managed to escape their cells and are currently seeking a way to contact the Discovery undetected.
Meanwhile, Intel is still secretly searching for the tricorder inadvertently left behind by Dr Leonard McCoy in the 23rd century when the Enterprise encountered the pre-warp civilization of Sigma Iotia II. The tricorder contains sensitive information that could threaten the stability of the entire Federation.

August Plot Summary: USS Discovery-C
The crew of the Discovery is officially on shore leave on Sigma Iotia II, where new crew relationships are being forged while old ones reinforced. Most of the crew is down on the planet exploring various regions; while some preferred visiting the Living Museum districts to immerse themselves in historical culture, others opted for more outdoorsy experience. Some senior officers even took to exorcising personal demons through less-than-admirable indulgences. However, the crew may be in for a surprise because lieutenant Nickels' family situation involving illegal smuggling is about to entangle them when Captain Waltas is accosted by a ruthless smuggler in a bar.

July Plot Summary: USS Discovery-C
After uncovering the truth behind the bio weapon, the crew laid the body of the serial killer-turned-hero to rest, as they fired Zero's body into the a star, ensuring that no one could ever use his biological makeup to create such a weapon again. The crew returned to DS-285 for a long-awaited shore leave, and the younger members of the crew chose to have a "night out" with plenty of alcohol and a bar fight to keep them busy. Captain Waltas, his heart heavy from his wife's desertion, battled his own demons and resorted to the bottle as well, his indiscretions becoming the talk of the ship.
Lieutenant Nickels dealt with problems at home and approached Waltas for a way out, and the Ba'ku obliged by sending the Discovery on shore leave to Sigma Iotia II, allowing Nickels to deal with his personal issues and the crew to have a long-deserved vacation. Beginning their journey, most of the crews' thoughts turned inward, each dealing with personal issues or relationships. Commander Valdivia and Ensign Frye are working on a prototype shuttle to replace the lost Romulan Scout nicknamed "Ace", and no one knows what awaits them in the anachronistic culture that comprises Sigma Iotia II.

June Plot Summary: USS Discovery-C
The crew finally dispelled the cloak of deception surrounding Commander Hawke, and his participation in the development and testing of a horrible bio-weapon that had actually caused the plague they were investigating. When Hawke escaped confinement using his telepathic powers and an amplification device, he was hunted down by none other than the serial killer Zero, whom Hawke had loosed on the Discovery to kill Captain Waltas and keep the Discovery crew off his trail. Remembering Hawke as one of the scientists who created him and tortured him, Zero recalled his past; how he had been developed and conditioned to be used as a weapon and, when that failed, his biology used to develop the bio-weapon.
Zero, Captain Waltas and Ensign Nickels tracked down Hawke and cornered him. With another telepathic wave Hawke was able to disable Waltas and Nickels, but Zero, in a final, heroic act, leaped in front of the phaser blast intended to kill the Captain, giving Nickels time to "go to bat" on Hawke's body and eliminate him. The crew, still shaken but having rescued the USS Achilles, has returned to DS-285 for a long-needed rest and relaxation, and some promotions as well. Still, questions remain-how deep does the rabbit-hole go, and who knew about the bio-weapon?

May Plot Summary: USS Discovery-C
The Achilles has disappeared without a trace. Their last transmission contained all of their data on the plague, showing a strange ability to adapt to all known treatments. Putting two and two together, the scientists have determined that the only person with the antibodies to develop a cure is the same person that has threatened the Discovery's crew. In a bizarre and questionable decision, JAG has decided to allow Waltas one chance to make things right – he must convince Zero to help them end the plague, and in the meantime contain the plague and rescue the Achilles if possible. The Chief Tactical Officer, Commander Mitchell, crashed onto the surface of Vendra-3, where the Achilles is marooned, after encountering atmospheric disturbances, and was rescued by the remaining crew of the Achilles. Unfortunately, Mitchell is now infected with the plague virus.
The Discovery is still trying to establish contact with the Achilles and Mitchell. Meanwhile, Zero managed to escape and is now confronting the Captain on Deck 14 for a serious discussion. To complicate things even further, the plague virus has been detected within the transporter buffers of the Discovery and randomly infects those who use the transporters; at least two officers have been confirmed to have the plague.

April Plot Summary: USS Discovery-C
The Discovery-C has been dispatched on a mission to search for the missing USS Achilles. The Achilles was on a research mission to Vendra 3 to study a plague outbreak and disappeared during the mission. Commander Mitchell re-assumed his former post as Chief Tactical Officer, and has been working closely with Lt Rogg to modify a shuttle to survive in the dense atmosphere of Vendra 3.
Meanwhile, the Discovery has also taken aboard a JAG officer, and his special cargo. His special cargo is the comatose serial killer know to the Discovery crew as Zero. Zero had been left on a dead world by the crew of the Discovery years ago after his last attempt on the crew, especially the Captain. During the time the Discovery had been trapped in a Dyson Sphere, Zero had been found by the USS Valiant. Now tests have found Zero's DNA to have a possible cure for the plague being studied by the Achilles.
The ship is to find the missing Achilles, while convincing Zero if he awakens, to help them in curing the plague.

January Plot Summary: USS Discovery-C
Discovery remains trapped within the Dyson Sphere. With Eriksen, the former Captain of the USS Melbourne, now in custody in Discovery's brig, pending court martial, the crew of the Discovery begins to run food and medical supplies to other ships prioritized by greatest need. Meetings provide data accumulated over years by other crews and slowly, the crew begins to put together a picture of what's going on.

Elderly Parent In A Minor Car Accident? A Car Accident Attorney Will Be Beneficial
If your elderly parent is driving and involved in a minor car accident, you likely need to take matters into your own hands and help them. Because your parent is elderly they may be confused as to what they should do. Even if you do not think you will have problems, you should still contact a car accident attorney to help you. Below is information about how they can do this, as well as injuries your parent may have received from the accident:
Call an Accident Attorney
In most cases, a minor car accident is handled quickly and with no problems. Because your parent is elderly, however, the other driver may automatically blame them for the accident even if they were not at fault. This is especially true if they are very old, such as over 80. Because your parent was driving the car, they obviously have a legal driver's license and have no problems driving.
The car accident attorney can determine who was at fault so they can show this proof to your parent's insurance company. They may want to hire an accident reconstruction expert to also help in this case. The provides further proof of the cause of the accident. This also helps the insurance company if the other driver's insurance companies lay blame on your parent.
Injuries Your Parent May Receive
Your parent may still suffer from injuries even if the accident was minor. This is especially true if they have had previous surgeries in the past. For example, it can cause the muscles, tendons, and ligaments to pull in your parent's back or neck. If the other driver hit your parent from behind, they may tense their hands on the wheel and cause muscle injury in their arms. Your parent may also have been pushed forward and then back causing muscle strain.
Your parent may not feel pain directly after the accident but soon after. If so, take them to their doctor immediately and explain to the doctor what has happened.
Because your parent is older it will take more time for them to recover, which is why their insurance company can make the other driver's insurance pay for their medical bills. An attorney will ensure this will happen.
An accident attorney can tell you much more about how they can help your parent in a situation like this. You will first meet them for a consultation, and this may be free. The attorney will look over the paperwork to help them determine if they can help you.
Contact a company like Radano & Lide for more information and assistance.

Introducing methods for instant tough bonding between hydrogels and antagonistic materials—from soft to hard—allows us to demonstrate elastic yet tough biomimetic devices and machines with a high level of complexity. Tough hydrogels strongly attach, within seconds, to plastics, elastomers, leather, bone, and metals, reaching unprecedented interfacial toughness exceeding 2000 J/m2. Healing of severed ionic hydrogel conductors becomes feasible and restores function instantly. Soft, transparent multilayered hybrids of elastomers and ionic hydrogels endure biaxial strain with more than 2000% increase in area, facilitating soft transducers, generators, and adaptive lenses. We demonstrate soft electronic devices, from stretchable batteries, self-powered compliant circuits, and autonomous electronic skin for triggered drug delivery. Our approach is applicable in rapid prototyping and in delicate environments inaccessible for extended curing and cross-linking.

Decolonising Knowledge and Rethinking Education
A School of Education seminar presented on March 4th, 2015 by Professor Emerata Raewyn Connell
In the last ten years there has been growing interest, across the social sciences, in the problem of global inequalities and coloniality in knowledge formation and circulation.
This problem is being made more acute by the tightening grip of neoliberal management on university systems. In this talk I will explore the general problems posed by the global economy of knowledge, and contemporary debates about them; then discuss how this impacts on the study of education. Since education systems are themselves knowledge institutions, this is not a matter of academic concern only. Practical and policy questions immediately arise. Among them: the place of indigenous and Southern knowledges in school curricula, the politics of international testing regimes, the impact of global markets in higher education, and the agendas of teacher education in a deeply unequal world.

These are white ,tinted or clear plastic coating/cements that are flown into the fissures/grooves on your back teeth ,mainly chewing surface of molars and premolars to protect them from decay . These fissures and grooves are naturally occurring on chewing surfaces of teeth and are more prone to develop tooth decay than the other tooth surfaces. In some these can be very narrow and deep making them hard to clean and traps food and bacteria which produces acids that attack teeth and cause decay.
It is best done on newly erupted permanent teeth. mainly done on the molars and premolars. It can be done on baby teeth and to preserve healthy teeth in adults as a safeguard. sometimes if done at the right time early initial tooth decay can be treated with a fissure sealant instead of a filling.
Fissure sealants can wear away or be lost and can be reapplied if needed. A protected tooth has only half the risk of tooth decay as compared to an unprotected tooth. However the dentist cannot guarantee the prevention of decay on all tooth surfaces.

This transforming chandelier would be perfect for a room that serves multiple purposes. It can featured as a smallish, compact, informal fixture, or be expanded, fanning outward into a stunning statement piece of architectural enhancement. It's would be fascinating to hear the story of how this idea was conceived and executed.
Check out the video for a demo!
Implications - Consumers are naturally drawn to objects that can change shape. Applying this concept to home design offers a way for designers to draw in their customer and keep them coming back for more. From furniture to fixtures to appliances, areas of home design in which hybrid and transforming products can be created have no bounds.

Been sitting on this one for a couple of days….no idea why it took me so long to post it.
It's both fascinating and a tad disturbing.
Be sure to take this sucker full screen and crank up the sound to get the full immersion experience.
Round about 18 seconds when cats fill every conceivable space on your screen and the cacophony of meows reaches a crescendo I dare you to look away.
The combined noise of the felines produces an unworldly sound the likes of which I have never heard before.
The indescribable gibbering rises up as if from the very depths of hell itself. Each cat's ululating accursed screeching rolling over you like some hideous unnamable language known only to the Great Old Ones that rule the ancient dark netherworld.
(And yes, I used…hm…let's see…probably 'round about 73% of those words wrong, but I wanted to squeeze in as many Lovecraftian words as I could.)
Enjoy…and you're welcome.

Using an external application key removes the requirement that the application binary be strongly protected (by moving the requirement to whatever the key source is, of course). This may be useful for installing common web application binaries to a shared folder.
Web applications should call this function from within their webconfig function to avoid unpredictable results. Also to avoid unpredictable results, this function may only be called once per program run, and must be called before any other function that uses the key. An Exception will be thrown if this is called for a second time or too late.
Note: While an unscrupulous application writer could use this function to ensure that the effective application key could not be changed by kaya-rekey , they could find far easier and less easily detectable ways to put a backdoor into any application that users were unable to recompile or verify.

Kitten Stolen From Shelter On Christmas Eve
Reward Offered For Safe Return Of 'Speckles'
There's an empty cage at Friends of the Plymouth Pound after someone stole a kitten on Christmas Eve, shelter volunteers said.
When workers closed and locked the Adoption Center at the Independence Mall in Kingston at noon Saturday, "Speckles" was in his cage. When a volunteer arrived at 2:30 p.m., she noticed the back door was unlocked and the kitten was gone.
Witnesses said during those two and a half hours, they saw a teenage boy in the center, but they thought he was a volunteer because he was wearing one of the shelter's T-shirts.
Speckles was found starving and sick in a South Boston construction site, the shelter said. He is 4 months old and was named Speckles because of his tiger-like spots, the shelter said. The kitten was going to be neutered and put up for adoption. The shelter said he is on medication.
The FPP is offering a $500 reward for Speckles' safe return.

So we have the first announced candidate of 2012. Want to guess who? No not him, not him, not her, not him… It's the one and only President Barak Obama.
This video feels a little like the Time Magazine person of the Year, when the cover was a mirror, the person of the year is… YOU! Yeah, how'd that go over for Time? Ok, that's a little rough. But this video is missing something (and I'm not talking about the President — interesting, he doesn't make an appearance in the video kicking off his campaign)…, not sure what it is. But it's not exactly, what's the word, compelling. It's too early for a sense of urgency, I get that, but this feels somewhat somnolent (SAT word of the day, had to look it up). Maybe they don't want to invoke the passion of 2008 because they're scare it can't measure up, maybe they think it's too early, maybe there's some reason I'm not clever enough to guess, but in any case, there's nothing here that grabs me, I'd be interested to hear what true believers feel.
This video kinda leaves me missing the Tim Pawlenty Michael Bay themed videos which is something I never thought I'd say. Maybe we can split the difference going forward?
Here's an Obama parody video
I liked the "Morning in America" feel to the open and how it seemed like an Obama ad at first, unfortunately, the rest of the video is less parody and more political rhetoric. There are probably a lot of things you can hit Obama for, playing golf, meeting with Paul McCartney and filling in an NCAA bracket seem petty and mean spirited, not funny. And I found it slightly disingenuous to use Tea Party protests as a sign that Obama is dividing us (as opposed to said Tea Partiers and radical governors taking away the rights of workers). Now, maybe this video wasn't intended for me (it certainly wasn't), but I doubt it would work with someone in the middle, maybe an independent voter who voted for for Obama in 2008, but voter Republican in the last election.
Even the Unicorn (which I liked) at the end felt a little like sour grapes. Is there an argument to be made that Obama sold America a bill of goods and hasn't delivered, without a doubt (I think even some Democrats feel that way). Did this ad make that case? Not even close, it could have used the parody to make an unexpected case, to engage independents and even Democrats before springing it's trap. By going for the low hanging partisan fruit they missed the juicer bits.

Tonge wrong on BBC bias
Baroness Tonge has spearheaded an appeal on behalf of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, claiming that the BBC is biased in favour of Israel! Laugh or cry?
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) has just sent one of the most bizarre campaign e-mails I've ever received.
I've written before on how anti-Israel campaigners are trying to push BBC bias against Israel further by pretending the Beeb is actually biased in favour of Israel, but disgraced Baroness Tonge's latest mailout really takes the biscuit.
She claims, "Challenging the bias and inaccuracy of the BBC is an integral part of PSC's work," which gives a punch line to the wider claims in the e-mail that the BBC is inherently biased in favour of Israel.
The evidence they present?
No, not a slew of noteworthy incidents and reports like the ones you can find on The Commentator, BBC Watch or in about 100 other places online.
No, not the fact that in 2004 a specific report had to be commissioned from inside the BBC to analyse pro-Israel bias (because it wasn't.. it was the other way around).
No, instead they provide one blog post, written by propaganda outlet "Electronic Intifada" which claims that because Newsnight's Gavin Estler was once a bit clumsy with his comments about the West Bank, that proves an inherent BBC bias in favour of Israel.
Tonge even admits that anti-Israel activists are given the type of access to "senior BBC executives" - the type of proximity that would never be given to pro-Israel folks. She says, "PSC's Chair, Hugh Lanning, has met with senior BBC executives, including the previous Head of News and Current Affairs, to put the case for better and fairer coverage directly to top management."
Remember, the PSC is an organisation that uses the entirety of Israel, the West Bank and Gaza as their logo. That's what they believe "Palestine" is. And if you don't agree with the Arab annexation of the Jewish State, you're "biased".
Of course, the real thrust behind her e-mail is a call for donations to the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
Might I suggest that people give their money elsewhere to help tackle BBC bias? Just a thought...

UNFCCC & the Paris Agreement
Paris and Beyond
Adopted in 1992, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) unites 197 Parties to combat climate change. 195 countries have signed the Paris Agreement (183 countries have ratified the agreement), which establishes an ambitious objective to limit temperature increases to well below 2 degrees C above pre-industrial levels, and pursuing actions to further limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Under this landmark Agreement, the participating countries ("Parties") commit to develop, implement and periodically update nationally determined contributions that reflect highest possible ambition and include targets they intend to achieve, recognizing differing national circumstances. Developed countries are required to provide progressively higher levels of financial resources to assist developing country Parties with mitigation and adaptation, including through the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which serves as the financial mechanism of the convention. The rules for implementing the Paris Agreement are still being developed, including the guidelines and mechanism being developed to support cooperative approaches and rules for transparency.
On a parallel track, the GCF continues its mission in support of the broad goals of the Paris Agreement. To this end, the Fund has a distinct mandate to effect a paradigm shift to fundamentally lower carbon emissions and support meaningful adaptation. the GCF has committed USD 4.6 billion in its first four years to 93 projects and programs covering mitigation and/or adaptation. With only USD 1.5 billion[1] left to allocate, the Fund has launched a process to solicit a second round of funding commitments (replenishment). As the Fund prepares for replenishment, it is an opportune time to strengthen the Fund's operations, including measures to support enhanced alignment with developing country mitigation and adaptation goals, make higher risk investments aimed at achieving higher returns and transformational impact, and through improved monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV).
CCAP's work on this topic
CCAP's current work includes projects aimed at testing out new approaches for international cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, as well as projects that seek to strengthen GCF operations towards impactful, paradigm-shifting investments. Highlights include:
- CCAP's recent policy papers that look at ways of achieving ambitious outcomes and avoid double counting under future cooperative approaches that make use of carbon markets. In particular, CCAP has advanced a new work program to develop virtual pilot projects to test out the potential for effective and win-win internationally transferred mitigation outcomes.
- Development of a strategic roadmap for maximizing Green Climate Fund's engagement with the private sector. Key elements of this roadmap are being integrated into the Private Sector Facility's strategic planning.
- New analysis and recommendations to strengthen the GCF's approach to MRV, aimed at improving the Fund's impact and tracking transformational outcomes.
[1] The Fund's commitment authority, as reported by the Secretariat at the twentieth first meeting of the Board, leaves approximately USD 1.3 billion to be committed for the remaining GCF initial resource mobilization period. An additional USD 0.5 billion has been set aside for the operation of the Fund.

Chioma Akpotha's timely advice for women on natural hair journey
Nollywood actress Chioma Akpotha has a timely advice for women who are on the natural hair journey like her.
She acknowledges that it's not easy to be on this journey but women can make it successful by investing in the right products and visiting the right salon.
Chioma Akpotha said:
"This one is just to encourage my sisters who are on this natural hair journey with me. Don't give up! Whether you are transitioning or you're not just feeling the hair now, Just be patient. Enjoy every moment of it.
Love your hair like you would love a boo. Treat it right, talk to it, water it, keep it moisturized always, find natural products that are good for your hair type ( you can never go wrong with Shea butter and coconut oil ).
Learn to take care of your hair yourself and if you need to visit a good natural hair salon, do so and learn from them. Ask questions too. I'd easily recommend two salons @yellowsisi and @onaturals1 . Buy products you can trust. I use @naturalnigerian and @cremeofnature products for natural hair.
Again the key is to find the products that work well for your hair type. Took me a while to but the secret is to follow your instincts. It is a lifestyle so you have to be ready.
I will be sharing tips and taking questions from time to time here. My natural hair page would be up soon so stay tuned as I'd be sharing my journey with you there.
#naturalhair #teamnatural #naturalista #healthyhair #naturalhairdaily #afro #naturalhaircommunity #kinkyhair #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlsrock #melanin #naturalhairjourney #naturallyshesdope #twistout #naturalgirlsrock #virginhair #black #blackisbeautiful #naturalnigerian #cremeofnature #yellowsisi #onaturals ##naturalhairstyles #protectivestyles #kinkychicks #natural #Love #curls #omafro #omacurls
So ladies, if you are going natural or have gone natural, this advice will go a long way in making sure you rock your natural hair without cares or concerns.

Shoppable Content: The New Trend In Content Marketing
In today's digital age, content is increasingly being viewed as a primary factor behind purchasing decisions in e-commerce. The reason behind this phenomenon, pointing out that people don't want to buy goods and services — instead, they want to buy relations, stories, and magic. And the marketers of the 21st century are choosing to plant magic into content, deftly cultivating it in order to produce a new 'crop' of customers. The result? More and more brands are getting serious about content, favouring it over ads. In other words, content in e-commerce is now thriving.
But when it comes to content and e-commerce, it appears that these two have previously existed quite separately from one another. Yes, there were stories accompanying products even before 'content marketing' became a trend, but the truth is, those stories were never fully integrated in the shopping process. And vice versa — products were never fully integrated into the storytelling process, either.Things, however, changed dramatically when content became shoppable.
Today's consumers demand instant gratification and the ecommerce and digital retail industry need to provide it if they want to remain relevant. Customers want a story, not a product. That means making their content both interactive and shoppable.
Shoppable content can be any type of content such as blog posts, images gifs, videos and more that customers can use to directly purchase from by adding a product to a shopping cart or get directed to a product page and continue shopping from there. So what does shoppable content look like? Here are four types of it that you should know about:
- Shoppable Articles
Most online content follows the "read, then click the CTA to buy" formula, but that often doesn't work any more. It's hard enough to grab the audience's attention, let alone keep them interested and engaged long enough to click that call to action button at the end. And positioning the CTA button somewhere else only solves half the problem.
Brands need to work hard to satisfy the user's attention and shoppable content allows them to do this by doing what content is meant to do – bring the store closer to the user by blending products into content. This brings that Lustprinzip that consumers expect from a brand today and allows them to buy the product then and there. It also doesn't interrupt their engagement with the article, instead allowing them to simply click the "buy it now" or "buy here" button and continue reading the article.
- Shoppable Images
Imagine being able to sell a product to someone without saying a single word. Sounds improbable, right? Think again.
By using the power of visual content, shoppable images work even faster than shoppable articles. Many brands are now utilizing beautiful shoppable images on their websites to get visitors inspired and to get them to click and buy.
Interior design, fashion and travel are just some of the industries that can and do use shoppable photography this way and take the best from visual content.
- Shoppable Videos
Almost 50% of Internet users first search for a product or service video, and then visit a store to buy it. In other words, video is where it's at if you want to get traffic.
Video is the thing in marketing, right now. It's a format, which by its nature is interactive and lends itself well to participation. So no surprises to learn that video has been front and centre of people's thinking when it comes to shoppable content. Consumers are looking for more interactive and engaging content from their favourite brands. Brands are looking for ways to reduce the friction between marketing and purchasing. Shoppable videos can achieve both.
- Shoppable Social Media
Where else can that instant pleasure be satisfied the best but on social media. Social platforms like Pinterest and Instagram have already tap into that well and you can expect others like Facebook or Twitter to follow them. Pinterest, for example, has its "buyable pins" that allow you to buy a product directly from the platform, whether on desktop or on mobile, without leaving for another website.
The other image-oriented social platform, Instagram, isn't far behind with using shoppable content. Instagram users can, for instance, use apps such as "LikeItWantIt" to directly buy a product they see on the photos and not interrupt their experience.
While far from being the norm yet, shoppable content is rapidly transforming the e-commerce scene not to mention the Internet as a whole so we'll definitely see more examples coming from all kinds of brands. This is simply because brands need to be where the customers are, and modern, millennial customers want everything to be instantly accessible and on demand. They're armed with iPhones and smart technology and have a high expectation of how products should be presented as well as how fast they should be accessed.
Traditional content marketing isn't enough anymore. Unless, of course, there's a new trend that suddenly appears on the horizon something that's even more interactive and more engaging than shoppable content.

Eclipse PRP®
Eclipse PRP® is a proprietary PRP kit and system based on blood separation according to density using a unique separation gel. The PRP platform is available with an 11 mL PRP collection tube or 22 mL high concentration collection tube. The system allows for the preparation of pure Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) with optimal platelet concentrations and cellular content. Virtually, all Red Blood Cells (RBC) are eliminated from PRP and the concentration of pro-inflammatory Granulocytes (GRs) is highly reduced.
Platelet-Rich Plasma is prepared by taking a small sample of the patient's own blood, then separating platelets from Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP), RBC and GRs via centrifugation. Next, the PRP is collected and may be applied to the treated site. The whole preparation process only takes up to 20 minutes.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentrated preparation of platelets and the associated growth factors in a small volume of plasma. Platelets are a natural source of a number of growth factors in their natural and biologically-determined ratios.
Platelet Growth Factors
Upon activation, platelets release growth factors and other molecules. These growth factors are regeneration-promoting signaling molecules, such as Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Transforming Growth Factor group (TGF), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) and others. These molecules are shown to regulate the healing cascade, including inflammation and cell proliferation.
Eclipse Difference
• Simple: Fewer steps than other PRP (platelet-rich plasma) kits
• Superior: Optimal platelet recovery 87% ± 10%
• Safe: High-tech gel designed for safe and consistent preparation
• Fast: Centrifuge with a single spin in a matter of minutes
• Convenient Procedure: Takes less than 30 minutes
• Patient Friendly: Small volume of blood required
• Best Value: High volume PRP yield, low cost per mL
~6 mL PRP per 11 mL tube
~12 mL PRP per 22 mL tube
• Customized Concentration: PRP kits yield various volumes and concentration levels to meet patient and procedure needs
• Consistent Platelet Concentration: Allowing for predictable performance
• No Foreign Components: Virtually eliminates the risk of adverse reactions
• FDA Clearance: 510(k) number: BK110035
