Road to Solutions — Climate & Energy
Using Socio-Economic Impacts to Inform Decision-Making on Dams (WRRI 2020)
With large-scale river restoration projects becoming more prevalent, new opportunities such as the Penobscot River Restoration Project (PRRP) have emerged to investigate key questions about socio-economic impacts. Comprehensive stakeholder engagement and collaboration between a variety of interests were critical to the success of the PRRP and other similar dam removals. The research team is working with key stakeholders to identify and evaluate impacts of river restoration, continuing to learn about the socio-economic impacts and benefits of dam removals and the importance of building community engagement and education around river restoration.
Helping Maine Farmers Succeed in a Changing Climate
University of Maine Cooperative Extension members and the State Climatologist are working on a new project with farmers in Maine. The goal is to listen to farmer needs around weather information and farm management decision support tools, and discuss future capabilities in light of Maine's changing climate.
Assessing the Climate Mitigation Potential of Maine Agriculture
Farming practices that promote "soil health" can make farms more productive, profitable, and resilient to climate change impacts. Additionally, some soil health building practices—for example, cover cropping, reducing tillage, and biochar application—can contribute to greenhouse gas mitigation. There is growing interest in state and regional policies to incentivize soil health building practices, but to inform these policy efforts, a baseline assessment is needed.
Upgrading Culverts for Safer Roads and Healthier Ecosystems (WRRI 2019)
Maine's communities and economy are critically dependent on the safety of its road network, which is in turn dependent on tens of thousands of culverts that allow water to flow under roads. Unfortunately, many of these culverts are at risk of failure, either due to their degrading condition or because they are undersized for the increasingly large floods and bank erosion caused by climate change and urban development.
Examining Risk in the Development of Next-Generation Tidal Energy Technologies in Maine
Growing concern over global climate change and energy security has accelerated the development of new renewable energy sources. In the search for alternatives to fossil fuels, marine hydrokinetic (MHK) energy has emerged as a viable option. However, while energy from marine tides, currents, and waves may all hold immense potential for electrical energy generation, the developing industry is faced with significant challenges…
Future of Dams (New England Sustainability Consortium)
Hydropower is a major source of renewable energy in New England with more than 50 dams scheduled for relicensing in the next decade. However, dams can have adverse effects on coastal ecosystems and economies…
Community-Based Sustainable Energy Solutions
Affordable, reliable access to energy is essential to human welfare, economic development, and wealth. The way we generate, distribute and use energy has lasting impacts in all aspects of economy and society because nearly everything we make and do requires energy. A fossil fuel-based energy system is unsustainable because fossil fuels are finite, contribute to global warming, contaminate the environment, and pose energy security issues…
Older Projects
Communicating Climate Change with Maine Natural Resource Users
This project evaluates the barriers to and opportunities of climate change communication in order to improve engagement with resource users. What level of knowledge do natural resource users have about current and potential climate change impacts on natural resources? What type of climate change information alters the monetary contribution users are willing to make towards climate work in Maine? Do residents who perceive climate change as a more significant threat to recreation activities contribute towards activities or programs that lessen climate impact?
Biodiversity response to Climate Change
Thanks to remotely-sensed and ground-based climate observations society now has an extremely detailed understanding of the geography and magnitude of recent climate change. The detail and relative geographic evenness of this knowledge is in stark contrast to that of the spatial distribution of biodiversity and its changes over time…
Renewable Energy from the Tides
Maine is one of the most promising places in the world for tidal power. This SSI research team is helping ensure that tidal power is developed in ways that promote economic development and protect marine ecosystems as part of the Maine Tidal Power Initiative…
Helping Communities Weather the Storms
Increasingly intense and frequent storms are striking Maine and New England, causing millions of dollars in damage and threatening fragile ecosystems. This SSI research team will help Maine communities better understand and prepare for the potential local impacts of climate change…
Effects of Climate Change on Organisms
Global warming is expected to have a profound effect on Maine's climate in the coming decades, potentially affecting human health and triggering significant changes and geographic shifts in the state's agriculture, forests, and wildlife. Could a warmer future spell the end of pines in the Pine Tree State, along with such iconic and important species as maple trees and moose?
Biomass Energy Production in Northern Maine
Agriculture in northern Maine has declined by about 50 percent since the 1940s, leaving thousands of acres of former potato fields and other crop lands idle. Public and private entities are now looking to this land as a source of economic development for growing crops for energy, food, or animal feed…
Virtual Reality Interactions
Using Immersive Virtual Reality to Understand the Impacts of Wind Energy Siting
Many sustainability solutions are designed or enhanced by developing and siting new technologies (e.g., reducing greenhouse gases by generating power using wind energy). Yet the impact of these newly sited technologies on the quality of life of local residents and on tourism can be incredibly difficult to envision…

Another Texas Lawman Shot And Killed
Early this morning, a Travis County sheriff's deputy was shot and killed in his backyard at his home in Round Rock, some 15 miles from Austin.
According to Travis County Sheriff, Greg Hamilton, the deputy, identified as Sgt. Craig Hutchinson, had used his police radio about 1:30 a.m. to report some people in his backyard. Moments later, investigators arrived on the scene and found Hutchinson lying on the ground. He was transported to a near by hospital where he was pronounced dead.
At a news conference later, Sheriff Hamilton said that no arrests have been made although authorities are seeking more than one suspect. He also said that the evidence pointed to an attempted robbery of the deputy's shed and not someone targeting a law enforcement officer.
"There's no suggestion that this was an ambush," Hamilton said. "I heard that there's a lot of burglaries going on in this community, and I think this was just one of the burglaries."

A day in the life of an Assistant Librarian
Catherine Wardle
Assistant Librarian, Whittington Health Library, Highgate.
I'm at my desk by 8.30am ploughing through emails and having a much needed cup of tea at my desk. East London to North London commuting can be tough!
On a typical day
I deal with enquiries about literature searches, organise my schedule for training sessions. Then I read research papers for critical appraisal training or for a journal club. Marketing the library service is a huge part of my role and I develop ways in which the library can further integrate its service into the needs of NHS staff and the local population. Scour reading lists for our medical students and new book releases that I think might enrich the collection
The best thing about my role is…
Knowing that I am positively contributing to the most magnificent and equalising institution in the world! The NHS!
Also, working on a shoestring. NHS Libraries have very little resource money to support the work that they do and I think that this brings out the best of my creativity. When you have zero to work with, you have to think creatively about what you can do. It's a challenge, but a good one!
I could be prepping for one of the many training sessions we provide for our NHS staff at Whittington Health, Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust or Islington CCG. Or perhaps 'head down' in an in-depth literature search for one of our library members. I'm currently working on a search about mood management of service users who have cerebral palsy and executive dysfunction
I've been in my current role…
4 years
My proudest achievement is…
Establishing a Reflective Reading Club for revalidating nurses at Whittington Health. Nurses are by far the hardest group to reach once qualified and the fact that this club is fully booked every month makes me very happy. It's utterly rewarding to bring Nurses from different services together for 90 minutes and facilitate their reflection over an article. So much learning and sharing is done and we see from the feedback how reflection can really revitalise individual Nursing practice.
What changes have you helped work on to improve the service for patients, staff, students?
Developing a free and unlimited literature searching service for all our NHS staff available at the point of need. It is a VERY busy service that we have made streamlined, timely and effective
A quick walk in glorious Waterlow Park in Highgate and a sandwich at my desk
I'm often heard saying…
Who wants a cup of tea?
It's essential Librarian banter!
What inspires me is…
Building confidence in our practitioners to locate and appraise the evidence they have found. Our training sessions are always booked out and we receive an enormous amount of positive feedback from attendees, months later. Equipping staff and students with this skills base goes towards ensuring that patient care is evidence-based, safe and current
The hardest part of my job is…
Fitting everything in now that I am part-time
The best part of my job is…
My thoroughly excellent colleagues! Richard, Harriet, Graeme and Fiona
What qualifications or experience do you need to do your role?
An MA in Information Services Management and experience working in a health library
My afternoon work is book buying for our collection. We aim to ensure that the collection is current, evidence-based and relevant to our user groups. I'm often seen dashing to St. Pancras Hospital for a C&I Journal Club meet-up
What's the best thing you've learned in your role on the job?
Time management is KEY! And lists, lots of lists to ensure you complete everything
What does bite sized learning mean to you?
Learning in small chunks
What tips do you have for anyone wanting to join your profession?
Get some experience and be willing to work for free to get it
How are you compassionate to yourself or colleagues?
I give myself fashion! I love clothes and I make sure I give myself something every month. I work hard, it gives me utter pleasure and I deserve it!
I like to think I have good relationships with my colleagues, I value them all immensely and always get them involved in everything I do, so that we work and contribute as a team. I'm always buying them biscuits too
Before I leave work
I'll make sure I have anything I need, as I pick my baby son up from nursery after work. Then I handover work to my colleagues and turn on the 'out of office reply' on my email as I work Monday – Wednesday
After work
Get home, feed the baby and put him down to sleep and then potter around my garden for an hour. This is the first time in my adult life that I've ever had a proper garden and I LOVE IT! The beans and tomatoes are coming home!
If you could travel back in time what work tip would you give to your younger self?
None – I've worked hard all my life and made decisions and choices that were right for me at that time. But at a push… maybe to have a little more courage and create opportunities for myself
A day in the life…

I am trying out my GoPro camera as a stills camera rather than the video camera most folk use it for. I wanted to the see the quality of the photos (not bad) – it has a wide-angle lens which I am not used to.
Obviously, I chose my subjects wisely.
So, this afternoon Floss and I went out for a ride, taking the dogs on a walk as well.
(the phone pole doesn't actually bend in real life but it does look very odd)
The Go-Pro gives Haakon a neck like a thoroughbred (not a bad thing!)
BeAnne is much slower these days. She is 10 years old now and seems less keen on coming out with us. I had to go back for her a few times. I think she was hoping I would let her ride too. When she gets too old to come out, I will put her on Waffle and she can ride him. He would love to go for treks (my dream).
We didn't go far.
Anyway, I am pleased with the results. The Go Pro was much more useable hung round my neck on a piece of string than stuck on my helmet filming my every move and/or squawk. I am also terrified I will drop my iPod/iPhone.
We got home in one piece (which is always my definition of a good ride) and met Lambie and Ster. I have a man with a digger in to dig up and level the sand surface of the school as it is mountains-and-valleys in places.
Note my extensive rug collection acquired over this winter. One for every degree increase or decrease in temperature. I have become obssessed, like I knew I would.

A second MP has gone into self-isolation amid growing coronavirus fears in Westminster.
Rachael Maskell, the Labour and Co-operative representative for York Central, announced she was taking the measure on Wednesday morning after coming into contact with coronavirus-positive health minister Nadine Dorries.
Dorries, the Tory representative for Mid-Bedfordshire, was the first MP to become infected with coronavirus.
Maskell posted on Twitter:
NHS111 have advised that I self-isolate as a result of a meeting I had with the Government's Mental Health Minister last Thursday who has subsequently tested positive for Coronovirus. Thankfully I am asymptomatic. It is so important that we all follow all public health advice.— Rachael Maskell MP (@RachaelMaskell) March 11, 2020
Maskell later told the PA news agency: "I'm absolutely fine, obviously it's frustrating because there are things I want to get on with.
"I'm just planning on making more phone calls, more working online. I'm not going to be bored, put it that way."
Live: Read the latest coronavirus news here
The agency also reported that Dorries had sent a WhatsApp message to Tory MPs saying a member of her staff was ill.
It raises questions as to whether the coronavirus has begun circulating around Parliament, though there are no plans to test any ministers, including Boris Johnson.
The Department of Health said Dorries first exhibited symptoms on Thursday, the same day she attended a Downing Street event hosted by the prime minister to mark International Women's Day.
Johnson is understood not to have exhibited symptoms and not to have come into close contact with Dorries.
In a statement on Tuesday night, Dorries said: "As soon as I was informed I took all the advised precautions and have been self-isolating at home.
"Public Health England has started detailed contact tracing and the department and my parliamentary office are closely following their advice."
Bank of England announces rate cut 0.25% to tackle coronavirus
She later tweeted thanks to her well-wishers, posting:
Thanks for so many good wishes. It's been pretty rubbish but I hope I'm over the worst of it now. More worried about my 84yo mum who is staying with me and began with the cough today. She is being tested tomorrow. Keep safe and keep washing those hands, everyone.— Nadine Dorries 🇬🇧 (@NadineDorries) March 10, 2020

This 7 sided Carbon Steel pit is the perfect size for nearly any occasion.
Not only does it downsize into a compact size that you can easily throw into the back of your ride but it keeps the fire contained, preventing wildfires.
The cutouts on the side allow the flame to burn steady by allowing plenty of air flow.
Get them while you can, I have a feeling they won't be this cheap for long.

The Searching for suspense is over
September 13, 2018
The movie Searching directed by Aneesh Chaganty and starring John Cho (known best for his depiction of Harold in the "Harold and Kumar" franchise) is one of the greatest suspense films I have ever seen. It is a roller coaster ride of intrigue, false leads and deception delivered in a masterful way.
The beginning of the film wastes no time in pulling at your heartstrings through its introduction and depiction of the Kim family: David (Cho), Pamela (Sara Sohn) and their daughter Margot (Michelle La). The movie uses an emotionally powered introduction in order to make you care deeply for the characters in a short amount of time. It does this job marvelously as you follow the family through ups and downs that eventually lead to tragedy. After this tragedy befalls the Kims I could not help but feel a sense of sadness and pity for the family as the rest of the film feels to be a result of that tragedy, how the characters deal with it and how it shapes them.
As the film continues we bare witness to a variety of small events, that lead up to the inevitable disappearance of Margot. This is the focal point of the movie which leads the audience to wonder: what happened to her, who is responsible for her disappearance, did she run away, or is she even alive? However it is not just us seeking these answers, as David is also wondering the same thing about his daughter. As the search for Margot grows even more intense we observe an interesting change in David's personality from straight laced good guy to a man willing to do whatever is necessary to find his daughter.
John Cho performs the role brilliantly; showing he is not just a master of making you laugh but a master of making you feel emotions of pity, helplessness and tension. This is amplified by small hints and clues throughout the narrative about what might have happened to Margot. These clues, give the person who is ultimately responsible for what happened to Margot a lot of credibility, however if these hands weren't left behind by the writers the ending and reveal of the main villain would definitely have felt like lazy writing; but thanks to the film taking time to characterize even the smallest character, it makes complete sense and is handled brilliantly.
Searching is an amazing film and definitely one I highly recommend seeing. I would give this movie a ranking of 10/10 and is a must watch for anyone who loves suspense films.

Valier, Max (1893–1930)
Max Valier was an Austrian amateur rocketeer and space popularizer who advocated the use of rockets for spaceflight. Educated in physics at the University of Innsbruck, he experimented with rockets in the 1920s with the Verein für Raumschiffahrt, (Society for Space Travel), which he helped found and of which Wernher von Braun and Hermann Oberth were prominent members. His non-technical book Der Vorstoss in den Weltenraum (The Advance into Space) spread Oberth's ideas to a wide audience. Valier was also interested in using rockets to propel ground vehicles and, together with Fritz von Opel and Friedrich Sander, built the world's first rocket-powered automobile in 1928. Two years later, aged only 31, Valier was killed when a small, steel-cased LOX/alcohol engine, designed for use in the Opel-RAK 7 rocket car, exploded during a test run in his laboratory.

2100 unclassified photos which will prove the brutality and insanity of American soldiers
You can safely bet that these will never be shown to the public. If the outcry to release them becomes too loud, only a few tame ones will be released and a bunch of doctored ones. Americans will never want the perception in which they hold their brave and saintly soldiers to be shattered by even an inch and hence they will be quite satisfied with the tame and doctored ones. Once you drape that wool over your eyes, you tend to like the feel of it.
Jason Leopold writing at VICE:
Up to 2,100 Photos of US Soldiers Abusing Prisoners May Soon Be Released
Would the release of 10-year-old detainee abuse photographs, such as one depicting US soldiers pointing a broom handle at a hooded detainee's rectum, incite terrorist organizations and threaten national security?
That's a question government attorneys will have to answer next week when they explain to a federal court judge why as many as 2,100 unclassified photos of US soldiers abusing Iraqi and Afghan captives should continue to be concealed from the public.
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case, which resurfaced last week, is part of the American Civil Liberties Union's (ACLU) long-running lawsuit against the US government to obtain documents about the treatment of detainees in custody of the CIA and military.
Last week, US District Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein scheduled a hearing on the matter for September 8 and said he would allow the government to submit additional evidence to justify the withholding of the pictures before he renders a decision. But he also signaled that he may ultimately order the Department of Defense to release the abuse photographs, stating in a 21-page ruling that the government did not submit evidence to back up its 2012 claims that releasing the photographs would endanger national security and the lives of US military personnel.......

You've probably had days where all of your hard work and all of your creativity did nothing to make your work feel worthwhile. I've been there.
You can work hard. You can create brilliant things. But if you aren't bringing your love to your work, you'll eventually find yourself wondering why you're working at all.
Early Christian writer Paul understood this (albeit in a different sort of job):
"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing."
"Love" in this sense is not a "passion" which some force has given to you. It's a passion for doing something. If I'm bringing love to my work, I'm doing it to generate new life for myself and others. I'm doing something which will make things come alive around me – whether that's by building computers or fixing plumbing or preparing fried chicken.
There is no stronger or lasting motivator than this kind of love. There are of days when I work myself silly for ego, or for the approval of others, or for duty, or for comfort, or to avoid pain. All of these motivations fail in the end, because all of them are bounded by things which fade away quickly. Your boss's approval or disapproval won't always be there to whip you on. Your desire for social status won't keep you working when no one else is watching.
Love remains when all the other reasons to create new work fade away. It connects all things. And if you're going after your work with the right spirit, love connects your work to all the things you experience in life.
Paul had some other good things to say about this kind of love – specifically, what exactly it looks like in practice:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
If I'm bringing love to my work, two things are happening:
- I'm doing my work in the way of love – not a way that's envious, boastful, petty, or vengeful (all too easy in a competitive environment).
- My work is creating a world with more of the fruits of love – truth, kindness, goodness, beauty.
Maybe you've been here. If you have, then you know that this is how work is meant to be. It's not meant to be a scramble for the bottom, or a fight for survival. It's meant to be an expression of life and mind that protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres.
"Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away."
My marketing work will be forgotten one day. My content will cease to generate new leads. My company's brand will be forgotten. My excellent search engine rankings will be destroyed due to some search algorithm change.
But the love I (and my coworkers) put into the work will never fail.
Hundreds of thousands of people may experience a new technology, which may open them to new possibilities, which may open them to new ways of being better, freer humans. Of course, it's up to them what they do with what our company has created. But in their actions, the love we have brought to our work is generating new life. It is creating new possibilities far beyond itself and far beyond what we can see right now.
And that's an encouraging thought.

zapping_setup_fb is a small program to prepare Video For Linux (V4L) or Video For Linux Two (V4L2) video capture drivers for video overlay. It must be executed by pam(8) with root privileges, or owned by root with the set-user-ID bit set (see chmod(1)). This manual page refers to zapping_setup_fb version 0.13.
To enable video overlay V4L and V4L2 drivers need to know the screen memory address. For security reasons only the system administrator can program this address. zapping(1) delegates the task to this helper application.
-?, -h, --help, --usage Prints usage information on stdout, then terminates the program. -b, --bpp NUMBER Color depth hint, the number of bits per pixel on the display in question, either 24 or 32. Usually zapping_setup_fb can determine this number automatically. -c, --child Zapping sets this flag when executing zapping_setup_fb as child process to enable the output of localized error messages in UTF-8 encoding on stderr. -d, --device FILENAME The video capture device to open, by default /dev/video0. -D, --display NAME The X display to use. Defaults to the name defined by the DISPLAY environment variable. -f, --fd NUMBER Zapping uses this option when executing zapping_setup_fb as child process to access the video capture driver by this shared file descriptor instead of opening the device file by name. -q, --quiet Decrements the verbosity level. -S, --screen NUMBER The X screen to use (Xinerama), defaults to 0. -v, --verbose Increments the verbosity level. -V, --version Prints the version of zapping_setup_fb on stdout, then terminates the program.

And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away...

When you order a dozen chicken wings in a restaurant you often get 6 chicken wings that have been cut in half to make twelve. When you buy them at the butcher or supermarket you'll get the whole chicken wing so they will be meatier and easier to eat. The supermarkets usually sell them in kilo packs so if that's too much follow our example: cook the lot, cool the leftovers, wrap them in tin foil and store in the fridge, and eat them cold or reheat them the next day for breakfast.
Serves 6
6 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed or chopped very finely
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1kg chicken wings
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Mix the garlic, olive oil and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the chicken wings. Season with salt and black pepper. Use clean hands or a large spoon to mix the ingredients together. Cover with cling film and marinade in the fridge for at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 180C Fan – 200C – 400F – Gas 6. Lightly oil a sheet pan or baking tray. Lay out the chicken wings evenly on the sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the heat to 200C Fan – 220C – 425F – Gas 7 for 10 minutes or turn on the grill to high and grill the chicken wings until golden.
Serve the chicken wings with a Yogurt, Chilli and Garlic Dip
Add a clove of crushed garlic and a half a finely chopped red chilli to 200ml of Greek yogurt. Add a teaspoon of honey to sweeten if you wish. When you are buying Greek yogurt make sure that it is actually Greek yogurt (made in Greece) and not Greek-style yogurt.
If you reheat chicken wings cook them for 15-20 minutes in a preheated oven at 180C Fan – 200C – 400F – Gas 6. Make sure that they are heated right through. Use the same tin foil packaging that you used to store them in the fridge.

We're very proud to see our World's Best Howling Gale Irish Pale Ale in the latest World Beer Awards magazine celebrating the 2018 award winners. We were delighted when Howling Gale – our flagship pale ale since we launched the brewery back in 2011 and the first beer that we ever brewed – was named winner of the World's Best American Style Pale Ale category last year. In the review, it is described as: "Light golden in colour with a good hop aroma. Citrus and flowers coming through too. Good amount of bitterness on the palate." You'll find Howling Gale widely available in bottles and on draught in pubs, restaurants and off licences throughout Ireland.

World's Best for Eight Degrees Brewing's Howling Gale Ale at World Beer Awards Top award for Howling Gale Irish Pale Ale at the 2018 World Beer Awards Eight Degrees Brewing's Howling Gale Irish Pale Ale has been named World's Best in the extremely competitive American-style Pale Ale category at the 2018 World Beer Awards. Howling Gale Irish Pale Ale was chosen as the winner by a panel of international respected judges. With 2,300 beers from 50 countries entered into the 2018 awards, winning one of the prestigious beer styles – and one so hotly contested as American-style Pale Ale – is a significant achievement. "We are thrilled that our Howling Gale has taken this award," said Eight Degrees Brewing's Cam Wallace. "We're blown away that our Irish Pale Ale has been judged to be the best American-style Pale Ale in the world. The award is an incredible accolade for a craft brewery to receive and a fantastic professional achievement for our brewers Derek Neville and Dan O'Shea. We're keeping our fingers crossed as Howling Gale Ale proceeds to the final round to declare the Overall World's Best Beer in London." The World Beer Awards, now in its 11th year, judges beers over three rounds. First round picks the country winners per style, the second round has all country winners compete against each other to determine the World's Best then, in the final round, the World's Best style winners compete for the ultimate accolade. Howling Gale Irish Pale Ale was first named Country winner in the American-style Pale Ale category and then tasted against other Country winners to take the World's Best title. The overall World's Best award will be presented on 20 September. Eight Degrees had another two winners for their core range beers, taking Best in Ireland in the LagerRead More →

Always full of life, these unique locations don't leave anything to be desired: shops, museums, historic buildings and palaces etc., you can find everything here. Much of the area is pedestrianised. Naturally there are many restaurants, some offering the finest international cuisine and others providing more humble but equally tasty traditional dishes. All this is just at a short stroll from the famous Ramblas of Barcelona.
The Museu Nacional d'Art and the Palau Nacional
The National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC in Catalan) was built for the International Expo 1929. However, like many other buildings in Barcelona, thanks to its location in the neo-baroque National Palace of Montjuïc and the continuous incorporation of new art galleries until 2004 the MNAC has become one of the increasingly popular museums in Catalonia.

What we've been referring to as "Server Down Notifications" suffer from two problems:
We're making two changes to these alerts:
So, what do we suggest to verify that a server is down? An external monitoring service like Pingdom is a good option. Services like Pingdom can alert you if a server can't be pinged and/or isn't accepting SSH/TCP connections. Failed external checks and a lack of internal metrics from Scout often indicate that a server really is dead.
We're confident (1) keeping our finger off the alarm button a bit longer and (2) calling these alerts what they really are will give you a more comfortable experience. We're developers too and we know the heartburn a 3am SMS causes.

Hi Malari,
Would you & your congregation please pray for Nxxxxx
& Nxxxxx? These 2 students mother passed away last June, their grandmother
passed away in January & I just received an email that their father has
died. That leaves the children as orphans…
I would ask that you pray for His hand to guide these little
ones for proper, wholesome care in a loving home. I only know of a teenage
uncle. My pastor is meeting w/ the principal today re: the current

Still thinking if double cleansing is for you? Sandra of the Black Pearl Blog reveals why it's a must do for her!
Sandra is a mum and beauty blogger who loves to share her beauty trials and experiences on The Black Pearl Blog. Here's her latest love – Pestle and Mortar Erase & Renew!
My latest discovery is the Erase & Renew Double Cleansing System by Pestle & Mortar and I have been using it for a few weeks now, seeing really good results! The box contains three items to help you complete your double cleansing ritual…
Step 1 with Erase Makeup removing Balm
Erase is a solid balm, that you warm in your hands and then massage into dry skin. It removes all your makeup, any dirt etc.
This cleanser is very nourishing and feels great on the skin, just make sure you warm it in your hands till it feels smooth, as you don't want it to feel grainy. I find it very effective at removing all kinds of makeup, including waterproof mascara.
Step 2 with Renew illuminating lightweight Gel Cleanser
Renew is an Illuminating Lightweight Gel Cleanser, but it's not like a normal gel, as it doesn't foam up and irritate the skin. It feels nice and silky and very luxurious!
You simply apply 1 pump to dry skin and massage it gently over your face and neck using upward strokes. Once you're done, you remove it with the soft side of the cloth.
Double cleanse with Muslin facial cloth
The double sided cloth features a muslin side and a soft flannel side. So you don't have to switch between two different cloths during your cleanse.
My Double Cleansing Experience
After a few weeks of using the Erase & Renew Double Cleansing System, I would definitely recommend it. These two are a perfect duo and leave my skin feeling super soft and add a nice glow to my face!
I did have a few days when I stopped double cleansing and I could see the difference right away. So I got back to my routine immediately. Basically, if you wear makeup, or stay in a polluted area, you should definitely double cleanse, as your skin needs it.
I know that I simply can't get away with just micellar water, a wipe or a foaming cleanser – my skin would go bonkers! Double cleanse all the way!!!

Private Self-Catering Nushveld Game Estate near the Kruger National Park, South Africa
Welcome to Maduma Boma ….
A giraffe is loping past your private swimming pool - stopping for a second to stare at you through its impossibly long eyelashes.
Meanwhile monkeys are chattering on the poles of your private boma where later tonight you'll hear the cackle of hyenas through the crackle of your fire. You haven't seen nor heard another guest for days...
The sun rises over your thatched chalet in a secluded part of the bush. An early morning game walk brings you face to face with the Giraffe, Impala, Wildebeest Kudu, Nyala and many other species of magnificent African animals.
Sit quietly at one of the many hides and dams situated on the farm and watch the abundant bird life busy with their daily routine.
Lunch is spent around your own private swimming pool, swimming and soaking up the sun, while a mother warthog and her kids visit you for tea.
At dusk, the Drakensberg Mountains are awash with red - sundowners defined.
In the evening, you enjoy a 'bushveld braai'. You spend the evening around the fire, relaying the day's stories...
After the sun goes down, the night comes alive. The lonely call of the Hyena,the bark of the hungry Jackal and the Owl's hoot and the piercing call of the Night Jar.
This is the time to sit and stare at the southern night sky, and then you realise that this has to be GOD's own country.
Eleven totally private, self-catering chalets (each with its very own swimming pool and boma) spread out over our expansive bushveld game estate can accommodate up to 60 people at a time.
All the Chalets are:
Fully equipped with crockery, cutlery and linen (but please bring your own towels)
Have their own private swimming pool
Have their own boma to braai in
Are fully serviced daily
Privately situated on a game farm
Nyala, Eland and Mala are electrified whilst the other chalets have Solar power
Superb Bird life
Fauna and Flora - JUST GREAT!
Your chalet is so private, you will feel like you have the entire bushveld to yourself.
What makes Maduma Boma so special?
A true safari experience that won't cost you a fortune
Totally private - only 11 units spread over the entire reserve
Your own private swimming pool AND private boma
Fully serviced daily
Numerous hides at waterholes around the reserve
No dangerous game - freedom to walk anywhere
Giraffe, kudu, impala, wildebeest, warthogs, monkeys, baboons, jackal and many other mammals
A wealth of birdlife
Just 45km from Kruger National Park (Orpen Gate)
Close to the Blyde River Canyon and the famed Panorama Route

Hi nickphoto123,
You probably missed some cynicism in my message - I amаhappyownerof this camera and would recommend itas a great"photographic tool" without a blink. :-)
BTW - There are some really nice photos in Simon's review gallery, unlike "vitaminwater" pictures from DcResource.com, they demonstrate S9500 image quality quite a bit...

Sometimes you guys really get me puzzled. You actually seem to be disappointed or even aggrieved that the review on dpreview has dared to mention some of the shortcomings of the s9000.
The reviewer clearly points out where the s9000 excels:
"Overall, compared to other 'super zoom' bridge cameras the S9000 is hard to fault from an ergonomics point of view - and it's certainly comes the closest yet to recreating that elusive 'SLR-like' handling experience."
"The electronic viewfinder is actually very good"
"Overall impressions of the S9000 are very positive indeed; the results are detailed (if a little soft), well exposed, have natural color (quite subtle compared to many consumer cameras) and focus is very reliable"
"it does show that up to about ISO 400 the S9000 does a far better job of controlling noise than any of its direct competitors"
"The S9000's noise levels - especially at the lower end of the scale - are very low, certainly for a camera in this class, and certainly when you consider the pixel density. Not bad at all!"
Fortunately, the reviewer addresses the not-so-good as well:
"it's slightly disappointing to see a 1.8-inch LCD on the back of the S9000"
"I'd have been a lot happier if white balance wasn't hidden in a menu (or even if it was put in the underutilized 'F" menu), and I'd much rather see an external control for ISO"
"We did find some fairly serious purple fringing - especially at the wide end of the lens, and towards the edge of the frame"
"Above ISO 400 the difference between the S9000 and the Rebel XT are visible, and stark. Looking at the graphs below you'd think that noise levels weren't that different, but that's all down to the strong noise reduction the S9000 is employing"
"Perhaps the biggest disappointment is that after the promise shown by the FinePix F10, which showed you can have usable ISO 1600 in a compact, Fujifilm chose to squeeze an extra 3 million pixels onto a sensor only the tiniest bit bigger, which means the top end of the ISO scale is much more seriously compromised by noise"
So what do you guys want? Shouldn't a reviewer address issues? Or do you feel your purchase is being questioned just because theses issues were mentioned? Are you truely pi$$ed off that the camera is "only" recommended and not HIGHLY recommended? Hilarious.
IMHO this is a very well-balanced and fair review, clearly stating the good and the bad.
BTW: maybe the following review will suit your sensitive taste better:
where the reviewer makes amusing claims such as
"In the eight years that I've been reviewing digital cameras, the only one I've seen with better image quality is the Canon EOS 1DS MkII"
Would such a "balanced" review make you sleep better?
You're clearly happy and satisfied with your s9000, but taking up such a defensive position against criticism isn't the right approach.
peace, nymano.

x7497,nic123, nymano - A point worth considering;
Had Fuji in their questionable wisdom not elected to imply or suggest that the 9000 can compete with the DSLR, I think it would have received rave reviews all round. But by suggesting that it can compete with the DSLR they have invited comparative testingand a mind setto gowith it.
They would have done far better in my opinion to promote it as an attractive alternative to the DSLR, which gets pretty close,and has the convenience & priceadvantageof using only one lens throughout an impressive range.
It's hardly surprising thatsome critics are comparing it to the DSLR- Fuji invited that scenario on themselves. Doesn't alter the factin my mind, that it is a good product at a good price for what it can do- buta DSLR it most definitely is not (and I for one, at this stage at least, do not want the hasslesthat go with a DSLR - that for me is what makes the 9000 so attractive).

I also don't see anything untoward or conspirital in the shortcomings being highlighted - the reviewers would not be doing their job if they didn't bring them to our attention and I'm glad they do.I helps me to make an informed decision.
Also wondered about the 9m issue as it doesn't make too much sense to me other than what I think is is a seriously misguided marketingphilosophyin seeing theneed to competewith the DSLR. I must stress though that I am on uncertain technical ground when I make that statement. I think the S9000 is good enoughto market on it's own merits & strengths (all weaknesses acknowledged). If I were Fuji I'd be pushing the niche marketpotential of the 9000 and forget about trying to competein the DSLR arenawhere it is bound to be found ultimately wanting.

I think we have read enough reviews, seen enough sample images, and have read other threads about the camera to know whether or not it is what we want. Reality. The 9000/9500 is NOT as good as a SLR, especially when using the higher ISO settings. You cannot change that fact. But maybe that isn't an issue for you. I think there is enough information available for us to decide whether or not this camera is what we want. If it is, then buy one. If it isn't, then wait a little while and see what else comes available. Any digital camera, regardless of brand or anything else, will produce acceptable results for those for which the camera was intended. I know, you are going to say, "then just stop reading the forum." But the debate time is over. It's pointless to worry about all of the reviews. None of them will give this model of perfect score because it isn't a perfect camera. And you have to remember that people who review these cameras are comparing it with the other cameras they have reviewed.

Hmm all this talk of the S9500 being touted by Fuji as a DSLR competitor got me looking at the few Photomags I've brought recently and in none of them is the camera advertised in this manner.
I cant really see the point in making direct comparisons between 2 cameras of such different prices yes use a Camera as a benchmark but why not pick something of a comparable range not serveral stepa above.
This review would only have anoyyed me if I had paid DLSR money for my S9500.

Fuji in their release notifications and rather gleeful marketing blurbs alluded to the potential for comparison, in quite anemphatic manner, which I think got up the nose of some critics and DSLR enthusiasts alike (as it turns out, apparentlyjustifiably so).Point isFuji have needlessly created anegativety in somequarters of the market which they could have avoided if they had marketed the product for what it really is - a rather unique fixed lens digicam with a lot going for it.
It has a lotNOT going for it however whenuncomfortably placed under theDSLR interrogation lamp.

The real issue, IMHO, is Simon's review placed the S9000 as "Recommended".
His words in his review would warrant "Highly recommended" as you can't get a better camera in its class (Prosumer), according to his own words, at this point in time.
Using the DPReview scale of ratings, how could he not conclude "Highly Recommended"?. Or perhaps I should ask "Why" as opposed to "How".
Regards, Nicholas
