my peak4 is a 5m....and the marabou is a 12m...so its kinda an apples to orangutans type comparisonlederhosen wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2019 7:34 pmHow does the marabou turn compared to the peak4?
i bought this is a lightwind option..and imo as a lightwind/freeride kite this kite excels.
i freely admit that i am not a big kite on a foil type of guy....so there was probably some bias in my initial rides.
but i had some pretty good sessions with the marabou recently..
i was in caymans and i doubt there was anyone else there attemping/foolish enough to be on the water a couple of those days
(gusting...to lightwind)
i'll say i am super impressed with performance in the 5-10 range(flag on a house looked like below)... it's just super stable and easy to ride on moses 633 and fluente/550 wings.
i took i nice superman spill after finding a sandbar at speed... but the kite stayed in the air somehow. (i still have not had the chance to relaunch yet)
the biggest negative it goes upwind about as well as a cloud (ie not well).
big spills in lightwind= good luck getting back to your board.
this is a good kite(for a 12m) if you want a freeride/lighwind kite for foiling...and i'd have no qualms buying again or recommending.

Have you wasted your cent coin? You think the coin has no value for your daily spending? Your wife found the coin in your pocket while want to wash your clothes and give you the couple of money.
I think most husband have the same experience like me.We don't really pay attention of coin and just put on the pockey while the paper money put on the wallet. It is not a good practice as we just waste the cent of money.
Cent also has a value and it become big if collect in many amount. Look at the below picture.
This is my coin about a week. My wife bring it to me and after calculate it, about RM10 in value. Do you think it has no value? With the value it could buy me a lunch or the petrol for a day mileage. Isn't it important to collect this coin?
In my point, the coin will be used to buy full week newspaper. Isn't it worthy? Maybe the shop counter will remember me a I've give them a bunch of coins for them to calculate. Have you remembered some of cases that using coin to pay their summon? Maybe I could collect the cent for settle summon? Am I right?
Back to the topic, what will you do with cent coin ?
1) Save it and make a collection. Waiting for future to sell for collector for profit?
| Coin that worth of $1.15 million |
2) Just donate the cent to charity. Or just giving to beggar in the street.
3) Save at your bank account. Most bankers accept the coins eventhough for big amount.
4) Buy some cheaper goods using coin.
5) Change to shopkeeper. Some of people in shop needed the coin for changing balance.
6) Ignore it…
So, how about you? May you share some opinion about it.

Who we'll be watching at this year's Les Trans Musicales
The French new music festival has spent four decades looking forward - its 2018 edition is no exception
"Les Trans: Brand new since 1979" – it's a fitting signature for a festival that's never once turned its back on the future.
The French event boasts an almost unrivalled legacy, and on the cusp of celebrating its 40th edition – taking place across 25 venues in Rennes, Brittany between 5-9 December – Les Rencontres Trans Musicales is still yet to need a hearing aid.
Ever since its early days being little more than a modest congregation of art students, festival curators Béatrice Macé and Jean-Louis Brossard have been carefully nurturing the careers of upcoming artists, spotting their potential and offering them a platform. From Björk to Bon Iver, time and time again, Les Trans has been ahead of the crowd. They're all about providing a springboard, offering slots to artists from around the world.
In 2018, now about to enter its fifth decade of existence, we take a look at some of new artists performing at this year's edition (there are almost 90 acts performing across five nights) that could prove to be the standout highlights.
Who: Bodega (photographed above)
When: Saturday 8 December
Where: Hall 3
Let's kick things off with an easy one, Brooklyn five-piece Bodega have been stirring up quite a racket in the past 12 months. Echoing the guitar-laden post-punk of bands like Parquet Courts, they embrace a sort of snappy satirical commentary that also appreciates the cathartic benefits of the dance floor. Having already gained some considerable traction, Les Trans may prove to be the ideal opportunity to taste some real widespread European attention.

Getting prepared for labor and delivery of one's baby
Prepare your body and thoughts for labor and delivery of your infant.
Monitoring your contractions throughout labor
Understanding if you're displaying signs of accurate labor or if you're experiencing something else, like Braxton-Hicks contractions (also referred to as false labor), can be tough. But you are able to monitor your contractions to understand for particular.
Contractions may begin as often as ten minutes apart. Time them from the begin of 1 contraction to the begin from the next, and be conscious if they grow stronger, longer, and closer with each other.
Contact your health care provider if you are having more painful, frequent, rhythmic contractions, and you have not reached 37 weeks, as this could be a sign of preterm labor.
Baby's changes throughout labor and delivery
Your baby's body prepares for childbirth in notable methods:
A surge in hormones, which may play a function in initiating labor. These hormones also assist your infant preserve her blood stress and blood sugar levels following birth.
Your baby's head drops into your pelvis; this really is known as lightening or engagement.
The fundamentals of labor and delivery
Labor is divided into 3 stages:
Stage I: Early labor, active labor, and transition
Early labor can final six to 12 hours, as well as your cervix will open (dilate) to four cm.
Active labor can final 4 to eight hours, as well as your cervix will dilate from four cm to six cm.
Throughout transition, your cervix will dilate from 7 cm to ten cm, as well as your contractions will strengthen and get closer with each other. When your cervix is dilated to 10 cm, the body is ready for the second stage of labor.
Stage II: Baby's birth
This stage can take as much as 3 hours, but your labor may be shorter or longer. Throughout Stage II, your body is prepared to push the baby out. Most babies are born head initial. His shoulders, arms, and legs follow, creating birthing the shortest part of labor.
Stage III: Delivery of the placenta
This stage is brief, usually lasting anyplace from 5 to 20 minutes, as your uterus continues to contract to push out the placenta (afterbirth).
Wellness throughout labor and delivery
Managing pain during childbirth
There are many options for managing discomfort during childbirth. A few of the most widely used options include:
- Relaxation
- Breathing
- A warm shower
- Walking during labor
- Analgesics
- An epidural
- Other discomfort medications administered by your well being care team
Baby delivery techniques
Through ongoing monitoring at your final prenatal appointments and during labor, you and your doctor will figure out the delivery method that is very best for you personally as well as your infant. These techniques consist of:
- Vaginal delivery – The most typical method of delivery; initial births final about 12 to 14 hours.
- Scheduled cesarean birth (C-section) – Primarily based on your medical history, your well being, as well as your baby's size and health, your doctor might schedule you to get a cesarean birth.
- Emergency cesarean birth – Under particular situations, your doctor may recommend a cesarean delivery if vaginal delivery isn't progressing or if there is a security concern for the mom or her baby.
- VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) – Some pregnant ladies who previously had a cesarean delivery might be in a position to provide babies vaginally in later pregnancies.
Your recovery after childbirth
After your baby is born, you each will continue to be monitored by your well being care team. Most ladies who provide vaginally spend one to two days recuperating in the hospital. Ladies who provide by cesarean usually spend three to four days recovering within the hospital. In either case, your hospital remain most likely will include:
Ongoing monitoring of your as well as your baby's health
Assistance, suggestions, and advice from the well being care team in your newborn's care
Assist with breastfeeding or bottle feeding with Formula

The Golden State Warriors are headed back to the NBA finals, after completing a sweep of the Portland Trail Blazers in overtime, making them just the second team in NBA history to make five consecutive finals appearances. The series also marked another milestone – the first time siblings have faced off in a NBA conference final.
Warriors star Steph Curry competed against his younger brother Seth Curry. It's a situation that left the Curry family a house divided. While the brothers battled on the hardwood, their proud parents watched nervously from the crowd.
"Is there any room for fun here?" a reporter asked their father, who replied, "No not at all she's very stressed," referring to their mother.
"We thought it would be a lot of fun, it's not so much fun," he said. "It was really hard getting ourselves prepared for not being all in for one child."
By far the hardest decision for the family, who to support, and how? Michelle Bain-Brink, Steph Curry's godmother and a family friend of 35 years had an idea, creating split jerseys so Sonya and Dell Curry could cheer for both their boys.
Steph got the better of his younger brother in a thrilling overtime win Monday night, but even as he moves on to play in another NBA final, he's looking toward his brother's future.
"I mean, somebody had to lose, but this is just the beginning for him and his career," Steph said. "We'll remember this for the rest of our lives."
Despite losing to his older brother, Seth says there are no hard feelings. After the game, he posted photos of them playing against each other on Instagram. The caption: "Still a series to remember.... #Family."

You need the 9-3 SS group. We end in MY 02/03.I have an 07 9-3 turbo. The warning has become very intermittent, so I suspected the sensor. I had My mechanic (not a Saab one, hard to find one nowadays) check the oil pressure with the warning on and off. Everything checks out good.
Now to figure out where the oil pressure sensor is and can I change it myself like the fuel pressure sensor.?
On another note , where is the fuel filter located and can I do it myself?

There's nothing wrong with criticizing the President and many of us would not be honest if we did not engage in good faith criticism of the President. But some of the criticisms of President, and I mean to single-out the recent criticism from the left, have a particular racial tincture to them that leaves me quite uncomfortable. These types of critiques rely upon certain familiar racial tropes: the gangsta or thug, the minstrel, and the house negro. An example of the thug is from comedian Bill Maher's explicitly racial critique, where he complains that the President should be a real black man and start shooting up people. Recently, Maher followed up his early critique with the following:
"I thought, when we elected the first black president, as a comedian, I thought two years in, I'd be making jokes about what a gangsta he was, you know?" Maher said. Instead, Maher said we've got "President Wayne Brady."For Bill Maher, Suge Knight is his vision of who Obama should be. Interestingly, his vision of Obama is actually another racial stereotype, that of the black jester, the minstrel. While few critics have been as explicitly racial as Maher, many of the left criticisms implicitly rely upon the gangsta/minstrel stereotype: We expected a black gangsta as a President, instead of we got an effete shuckin' and jivin' president.
There is another set of criticism that is less overtly racial but perhaps just as troubling. In this set of criticisms the President is chided for not being sufficiently progressive. These writers tend to talk down to the President as if he's a schoolboy who did not learn his lesson. They remind him that the only reason that he is the first black president is because of them and their good graces. Otherwise, he'd be another Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. The President is not viewed as the pragmatic politician/scholar that he is, but like a house negro. These folks are constantly reminding the President that if he does not behave, they'll return him to the field.
The house negro is both good negro and servant. You expect the house negro to be a grateful negro because he knows (or should know) that your good grace is the only thing that preventing him from being a field negro. And if the house negro ever gets out of line, your remind him that he is one step away from the field. You expect the field negro to lead the revolt, but you expect the house negro to be docile and obedient.
If these critics were coming from the right, many of these same folks would be crying racism because it would politically expedient to do so. I'm not ready to cry racism, but some of the President's critics need to be more thoughtful; their racial bias is showing.

The lure of "Something as a Service" may not be for everyone, but I think some of (the few) positive aspects of hard times are discipline and innovation.
Reflect on Michael Porter's HBR article "What is Strategy" to see what I'm talking about. As is validated in this blog post, everyone will cut costs and focus on operational excellence, but that opportunity is transient.
Innovation through discipline is typified in my work with small theatre companies. The arts have known nothing but hard times. Yet, we have pulled off miracles with zero money. That's not to say we couldn't have used more funds, but creativity was the order of the day to make something out of nothing.
User innovation, like art, may actually thrive in hard times.
The sin of opulence?
Fifteen years ago great debates raged on USENET newsgroups about the merits of programming in constricted resource environments (yes, comp.sys.*.advocacy). Assembly vs. higher level languages. It was very geeky.
The premise was simple: relying on hardware for performance lead to undisciplined code. Today's constraints are different, but using existing assets better will force creative thinking – as long as there is incentive, and merit is recognized.
Users may not have access to anything in today's buzzword parade (SOA, SaaS, etc.), but they will discover great potential in tools like Microsoft Office. Innovative users will exploit all their available resources if they have the time and incentive.
Problems will be solved in new ways, costs may go down, and new value may be discovered – if users are empowered.
The revolution may not be scrutinized
In almost any company, certain users have the flexibility to operate on the outskirts of IT's control. So experimentation could already be underway. Using the Office example, users can install a long term trial version in stealthy manner and create the "next great thing" right under the nose of IT.
These installations can grow gradually with minimal impact on operations, and users can solve some really interesting problems for the business by just assembling components.
D.I.Y. solutions to problems like document management, "Excel hell", and rich application construction without programming are all possibilities given the capabilities of Office.
But companies must create a structure to reward the curiosity of its innovators. Fear of job loss is not a motivator. In today's world where company loyalty has dwindled on both sides, a collaborative approach to surviving and thriving is not an option, but a requirement.
In a later post, I'll write about how and where to draw the line in order to reap the benefits of these innovations sustainably. Then we'll discuss what this means for vendors.

Here is my super quick tutorial on how to piece patchwork in double time. This patchwork technique is great for beginners, fun for the young sewing bee or even something different for the patchwork perfectionist.
Below are step by step instructions on how create a block of patchwork, very quickly and easily. The patchwork block can be used to create a patchwork quilt, patchwork pillow, or any other patchwork creation you choose.
I hope you enjoy this speedy patchwork tutorial.
Please note: Children must NOT be left unsupervised with either a sewing machine or pressing iron.
Example Fabric Requirements
Contrasting fabrics are needed to create a block of patchwork. For the purpose of this exercise, and if this is your first time creating patchwork, you can use any scrap fabric that you have to hand.
However, strips measuring 3.5 inches wide x 15.5 inches long will give you a 15 inch block – suitable for a cushion cover or a first patchwork quilt block.
In this tutorial, I have used 'Bare Branches' by Moda.
Essential Tools required
Cutting mat, cutting ruler (minimum 18″ x 3.5″), rotary cutter, pressing iron, thread, scissors, sewing machine, fabric pins (if desired)
Step 1)
Cut strips to your desired size – these strips are 2.5″ thick, by the width of a fat quarter (18″).
Step 2)
Lay your second strip on top of your first strip. At this stage you may wish to pin the two fabrics together.
Always lay the fabrics facing each other, so the wrong side of the fabric faces outwards.
If you use pins, please ensure they do not obstruct your sewing line! Therefore, pin on the opposite side to where you are sewing – this will act as a reminder to which side you are sewing, as you take your fabric to your sewing machine
Step 3)
Take your strip to your sewing machine and select a short stitch length approx. 1.2-1.4
Place the foot of your sewing machine a quarter of an inch from the top of the fabric, as it may gather under the needle/feed dogs. Lower your needle and sew 2-3 stitches and reverse sew 3-4 stitches to 'lock' your stitches. Sew in a straight line, a quarter of an inch from the edge of the fabrics and reverse sew 3-4 stitches when you get to the end of your strip.
Note: If your sewing machine does not have a quarter-inch marker for you to follow, you can draw a quarter-inch line along your strip with a fabric pen.
Step 4)
Open out your first two sewn strips of fabric, so the front side of the fabric is facing you.
Lay your next strip of fabric on top of fabric strip No.2 – face down.
Step 5)
Continue sewing each strip of fabric, in your desired order, using step 3 and step 4.
Step 6)
Now it's time to iron those seams. This will give you a nice flat block of fabric, which will make it easier to work with.
Please note: Check the fabrics' tolerance to heat on a scrap piece of fabric first. Do not use steam as this can distort the fabric, making it crooked and out of shape. Children must NOT be left unsupervised with either a sewing machine or pressing iron.
Step 7)
Use your fingers to open up your seams, so as the front of the fabric is exposed.
Pressing a few inches open with your fingers/thumbs will make life easier for you, to carry along the seam with a pressing iron.
Your open seams will now look like this!
Step 8)
Transfer your work back to your cutting mat.
Step 9)
You will now begin to cut your strips width ways. At this stage you will start to see the patchwork take form.
Familiarise yourself with your cutting ruler again. From the left hand edge of your fabric, measure your desired width and begin to cut the block into equal strips.
Note: Make sure the cut is exactly the same width as your original strips in Step 1. (My original strips were 2.5″, so my cut will again be 2.5″)
Your block will now look like this!
Step 10)
Go back through steps 1-7, laying, sewing and ironing.
TIP! At this stage, make sure your you line up all of your open seams – Lay your second row on your first row and check that the edge of your ironed seams matches on both sides.
You will now have a full patchwork block to play with as you wish!
It's always a good idea to 'square' your block, before adding to a project. Simply clean up your edges, by making small, straight cuts, measuring the block as you go – this will create an even block on all sides.
I do hope you have enjoyed this Easy Patchwork Tutorial.
If you have any questions at all, please do ask.
I would also LOVE to see your project photos, which you can post on my Facebook page here: www.facebook.com/dandeliondream.co.uk

Managing travellers' concerns
ABTA launched its FCO online training in conjunction with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) March 2018. This was in response to Members' requests for support and guidance about how and when to raise the matter of FCO travel advice, and how to respond to difficult questions customers sometimes may have about their destination.
The training explains how to highlight FCO travel advice and answer difficult questions about destination safety using real-life examples from shop agents and call centre staff. An animation shows scenarios in which customers are enquiring about holidays to Turkey and Egypt and advises what to say. In the examples, the agent tells the customer to check the FCO advice to decide if they are comfortable travelling there.
The scenarios are focused on customers booking leisure holidays but they remain very relevant when travellers book their next trip. See comments from Emma Goodwin, a Senior Business Travel Consultant at BCD Travel:
"This short and easy course has shown me where to find FCO travel advice and how to deal with challenges when advising customers which will be a big help in my role."

Eastern Oregon is a rural part of the West. Heading east, out of Bend, OR, there is very little to speak of in terms of the population until you hit Boise, ID, a solid five-hour car ride away. Two hours east of Bend, in Burns, OR, the home of the Highlanders and the former starting QB of the New York Jets, Kellen Clemens, you see the last gas station for miles as you continue into the barren and remote outback.
Every year I make a pilgrimage to Eastern Oregon, normally in the fall. It's my way of regaining key personal perspective and getting peace and quiet. The formula is simple: the phone goes off, no wifi, and I go off the grid for a few days. Last Wednesday when I began my trip, about seventy miles outside of Bend, while driving through the pristine Ochoco National Forest, I had a moment that helped kick me out of busy mindlessness and back into a fleeting reality, one that I'd like to normalize once more. On top of mind were an annoying encounter with an egotistical maniac just a day earlier, a bum shoulder, and a benignly irrelevant memory of something that happened in my life a full decade earlier. The noise was loud and my emotions were following their nonsensical pathway to nowhere. However, the moment I crested the summit of Ochoco pass on Oregon Route 26, and down towards the ranching town of Mitchell, OR, I had a firm revelatory sensation and shouted at myself, "Shut up, Spence!" This moment clicked me over and signaled the beginning of my road trip.
On Thursday evening I found myself in the remote town of Frenchglen, OR, writing in an old rocking chair on the porch of the National Historic Frenchglen hotel while awaiting the family style dinner that is served every night to the guests. The evening's menu consisted of pork chops, salad, and potatoes. In the quaint hotel dining room, the smells are reminiscent of how the dining hall at Burke Mountain Academy smelled after our long-tenured cook Harry spent all day preparing a communal meal for the students. The hotel, which used to serve as a lodging house for the cattle industry, has been around since 1923, seemingly forever in this rural nook of land.
To the east of Frenchglen lie the Steens Mountain Range, a gorgeous geographic sight. From Frenchglen, the range gradually and unassumingly slopes up to 9000ft from the west, only to drop off two thousand feet within the span of just a mile or two into the Alvord desert to the east, an area akin to Utah's Bonneville salt flats where numerous car commercials and movies are filmed (think the Area 51 scene in Independence Day). On my trip last year I got my rig drastically stuck in an unsuspectedly damp part of the desert and had to get pulled out by some dude that was trolling for amateur desert-goers like me. My truck had sunk a foot into the desert. The whole ordeal only cost me fifty bucks, a hell of a deal out in the outback.
The pace of life here is seemingly slower and much more casual than the rest of the world. It's almost like time forgot this land and left it as a distant memory. It's here that I find it easier to breathe and feel a sense of calm. I really like it here, in fact, I could live here someday.
Perhaps my favorite go-to spot in all of Eastern Oregon are the remote and barren Pueblo Mountains, just south of Fields, OR. A couple of years ago I stumbled across these mountains almost by mistake, thinking there was a trail system to experience. I had caught wind that the Oregon Desert Trail ran through this country. Let's use the term "trail" loosely, the path is almost unrecognizable in most spots, which nowadays adds to the allure of the area for me. One of the owners of the local diner/grocery store/hotel (which I came to find out was haunted) mentioned to me, as I was face deep in a pile of greasy eggs and bacon, that she did some running up in the Pueblo's on occasion while preparing to run ultramarathons. Curious about her comment, I implored to learn more. With her recommendation, I sought out a sparingly traveled and un-marked dirt road which led up to Domingo Pass, a scenic lookout over vast miles of rangeland to the south and into northern Nevada. While on top, the goal of my trip, to get back in touch with wilderness, peace, and solitude, was actualized. I had found what I was looking for.
The West is known for its big sky, open lands, and unique wildlife. Its aura and mystique serve to keep me coming back year after year. Its various mysteries are just as wild as the landscape. Just up the road from Frenchglen is the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, a place made famous when Ammon Bundy and his crew of armed militants took hostage a couple of years ago to seek an opportunity to advance their view that the United States Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management are constitutionally required to turn over most of the federal public land they manage to the individual states. The case caught the attention of the national media. In terms of the animal life, on my way down to the area and throughout the trip, I saw a smattering of animals cross the road including elusive pronghorn, frantic coyotes, and the random heifer cow casually crossing the highway minding his business, without regard to oncoming drivers. The beauty of the open range is beholden to the landscape.
On Wednesday, after I turned my phone off on my way out of Bend, I was fully charged with a busy mind and relentless open-ended thoughts. In a way I had let the last couple of weeks, mostly spent in another depressive episode, get the best of me, while tempting to bring me down. Seven years ago I was medically diagnosed with depression, which is different than having bad days every now and then. Over the last couple of years, I find that it's just about every three months where I am struck with an episode. With time, they seem to get more manageable, however, they still hurt. Being out on the open road, with the relative silence as my backdrop, I felt the episode begin to pass.
When I'm tuned back into the world, surrounded by the noise and bustle of everyday life, my pseudo-ingrained insecurities tend to pop up when I'm not being mindful. Largely through a weekly dose of psychotherapy, my crux of being in recovery as an addict/alcoholic, I'm able to step back and realize the noise that I entrench myself in the day-to-day. Without a sense of awareness, the noise can come from anywhere and everywhere and affect me in profound manners. When I tend to get in patterns of paying close attention to the media, both social and news, I begin to lose my sense of awareness in a sweeping cascade of constant outside stimuli. This is one reason I travel to Eastern Oregon, to purge my sense of being entrenched in things that really, when it comes down to it, just don't matter to me day to day. I come to this landscape to purge out the noise.
On my journey back to Bend, after being on the road for four days, I reflected as to why this trip was important and what I could take away and re-implement back into my life. The profound notion that sank in was that I have the ability, to a large degree, to control my reactions to the surroundings in which I live. Left unchecked my mind can wander to places that are not productive for me. Perhaps it's the constant bombardment of noise that helps contribute to depressive episodes. Yes, some of it's chemical, but I've got to believe that part of it has to with my surroundings. Re-integrating myself into the barren Eastern Oregon landscape that I love sure seems like a complementary remedy to help soothe the longevity of an episode.
I look forward to returning to Eastern Oregon soon, for I have a pretty cool idea brewing in my head for a race down there. For now, as I've written down on my vision board, I strive to reimplement the sage teachings of that vast remoteness and beauty the landscape lends to me. Plus, I've got physical proof of my experience in a collage of photos that I took over the four days to help remind me of why I go in the first place.

Tim Burton has now successfully taken three of my cherished childhood œuvres d'art: Planet of the Apes, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and now Dark Shadows, and pissed his signature all over them. Dark Shadows is especially painful because I've recently re-discovered it as an adult and love it all the more.
I suppose the overlap in our mutual fondness for specific works demonstrates that we must share some of the same tastes, but only in nostalgia, not in re-creation.

Tasmanian election: Cable car works get green light before March poll called, documents show
Exclusive by political reporters Richard Baines and Rhiana Whitson
Tasmania's State Growth Minister quietly gave the Mount Wellington Cable Car Company permission to start drilling and surveying on the mountain just days before the state election was called.
Documents seen by the ABC show Minister Peter Gutwein issued an authority to the company allowing it to start preliminary work.
According to a Hobart City Council memo, it allows the company to:
- Survey flora and fauna and geotechnical investigations (including drilling bore holes) at three locations (rig and water tank to be transported by helicopter).
- Construct temporary scaffolds at a site on The Pinnacle.
- Operate a battery-powered drone in a corridor from The Pinnacle to the lower slopes of the Mountain.
The authority itself was signed by Mr Gutwein on January 25, just before the election was called on January 28.
Premier Will Hodgman was unaware of the matter when questioned at a press conference in Launceston.
"I'd need to take advice as to that, I am not aware of that matter," he said.
Despite the document being signed off just days before the state election was called and the Government went into caretaker mode, the Labor Opposition was not briefed.
"We are talking about approvals around the use of public land there needs to be transparency around processes," Labor leader Rebecca White said.
"If there is nothing to hide here why has the Government kept it hidden?"
Residents Opposed to the Cable Car spokesman Ted Cutland said the Government had expressed overt support for the cable car proposal.
"In all of this, the community has not had a say," he said.
Peter Gutwein said there was no need to inform Labor, residents or the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre (TAC).
"I acted under the requirements of the act on advice, provided the authority and works will take place to inform the DA prior to it being submitted to the Hobart City Council," he said.
Mr Gutwein described his decision as a minor administrative approval and said the Mount Wellington Cable Car company still had to pass certain approvals before the project could go ahead.
"This is a great project, what this step will enable the proponent to do is to inform a development application."
The Hodgman Liberal Government created special legislation last year to allow the State Government to compulsorily acquire land from the Hobart City Council for a cable car project.
Labor and the Greens have called for an Integrity Commission probe into the State Government's handling of the proposal.
Mount Wellington Cable Car CEO Adrian Bold said the company had ministerial consent.
"We are excited to be able to move forward with the project," he said.
Mr Bold said he could not provide an exact date on when the works would begin.
'Slap in the face'
The Hobart City Council memo also noted:
"It is highly likely that activities will impact on both visitor access and the operation of the City's works crews.
"The Authority is silent on any requirement to survey for cultural/Aboriginal heritage and does not require any consultation with the Aboriginal community."
The TAC's Heather Sculthorpe said the Treasurer's actions were a "slap in the face".
"This government knows the Aboriginal community is against the cable car and they just continue to act in defiance of aboriginal community wishes," she said.
"It's an absolute disgrace and shows such a lack of moral integrity."
The council has been contacted for comment.

welcome to kikka
A flair for food, flowers and caffeine saw Kikka grow from the mere seed it was in 2004 to what it is today.

A well-respected InfoSec professional, colleague, and friend passed away last week.
Two years ago, almost to the day, Mike took me aside before an ISSA meeting and said softly, "I'm afraid I have some news." My first thought was… uh-oh, Mike's accepted a position at another company. Previous to that night, Mike & I had been developing a program that we were going to roll out. We were days from kicking it off. But what came out of Mike's lips next caused one of those moments where you can't breathe and your knees get wobbly. Did I hear him right? Did he really just say, "I found out today that I have a brain tumor."?
In that moment, nothing else mattered. The hard work that we had both put in. The hopes we had for doing some really great things together. The meeting that we were about to attend. Nothing else mattered. Just stunned silence. The way I remember it, the words stumbled out… "Oh my God, Mike. Is there anything I can do?" Pretty stupid response. I know. I've tried to come up with something better in the event I'm ever in a similar situation, but even today, I don't know if I could come up with anything.
You see, Mike's life was about making things better. Whether it was his profession, his family, or his friends, Mike was (and still is, quite frankly) about helping others. Mike was doing information security before it was even called information security. He founded the ISSA chapter in Michigan and was a force in just about every InfoSec organization in Michigan.
During the last two years, Mike never relented in his passion & support of the groups he participated. He was quiet about the health challenges he faced with courage & dignity. He focused on the organizations in which he was involved, always with a focus on making the groups stronger, and our digital world a safer place.
Mike led by example. He chose his words carefully, but it was his actions that inspired. Mike thought things through and spoke with conviction. I saw Mike "passionate" at times, but he avoided words that would hurt. I can't recall him ever saying anything negative about anyone.
Mike lived his life with integrity. You knew where he stood on things, and you knew that his intentions were to make things the best they could be. Michael was a giver. You could see it in the work he did for his customers, in his leadership in the local InfoSec community, and the way he talked about his granddaughter.
Mike's presence will be missed in the InfoSec community, but his contributions, perspective, and inspiration will stay with all those that worked with him over the years. With that in mind, I want to live a memorial to Mike. What I learned from Mike and his influence causes me to resolve to:
- Actively participate in the local InfoSec organizations, with a focus on making our profession better.
- Go about my work with integrity & passion.
- Find more balance in my life and let those I love know it.
There's not a more fitting tribute than if each of us would commit to "Be More Like Mike".

Instrumentation and Measurements: Innovative Course Development
12.1201.1 - 12.1201.12
Project GUISE: Curricular Introduction and Resources for Teaching Instrumentation
Project GUISE (General-purpose, Universal Instrumentation System for Education) is a computer-based laboratory instrument combining LabVIEW virtual-instrumentation software and custom external hardware developed with support of the National Science Foundation under grant DUE 9952292. Descriptions of its development have been previously published. However, an opportunity to use Project GUISE in the curriculum had not yet occurred at that time. It was created expressly to support a senior-level course in instrumentation and measurement systems, but only recently did that course gain sufficient interest and enrollment to be taught. Project GUISE has now had its introduction to the instructional setting; students have used it to create instrumentation applications such as thermocouple thermometers, a weighing scale using an aluminum cantilever instrumented with a strain gage, a displacement-measurement system using an LVDT, and an optically-coupled isolation amplifier. Other experiments (such as design and test of a carrier amplifier and measurement of the common-mode rejection ratio of the Project GUISE instrumentation amplifier) will be available for the next offering of the instrumentation course. Curricular resources written for Project GUISE include tutorials and background information on the subjects of the experiments, a spreadsheet for design of thermocouple thermometers, and a hardware description (including schematics) of the Project GUISE instrument that may be used in conjunction with upper- level courses in electronics. The proposed paper will describe the curricular introduction of Project GUISE (including student reactions to its use) and accompanying curricular resources and reference materials (including virtual-instrument software).
Brief history of project
Project GUISE was developed as part of a collection of unique computer-based laboratory instruments with support of the National Science Foundation under grant DUE 9952292. These instruments, combining custom external hardware and LabVIEW virtual-instrumentation software (National Instruments, Austin, TX), were built on the model of Project TUNA, a Bode analyzer developed as a class project in a second- semester junior electronics course1. The other instruments developed under this grant were integrated into regular curricular use some time ago; however, Project GUISE was described in earlier work2,3 but it not introduced into curricular use until 2005 because the course for which it was intended (EENG 4302, Measurement and Instrumentation Systems) did not gain sufficient student interest before then for it to have been offered.
Project GUISE instrument hardware
Project GUISE is a collection of basic instrumentation-system building blocks. Instrumentation systems are constructed by connecting the appropriate blocks using external cabling and, in some cases, additional external electronic components.

So to that end, I wrote a little script which I call "slowcat" which makes it a snap to transfer BASIC code (and Assembly source for MITS Programming Package) to my altair. My setup starts with minicom running at 9600 baud. (For BASIC or MITS I set the serial port to 7S1: 7 bits, space parity, 1 stop bit). Then I also have the following script, which I call "slowcat"
- Code: Select all
#slowcat script for transmitting code
for line in `cat $1`
echo -n -e "$line\r\n"
sleep 0.25
There isn't much to it, basically it just reads in the file specified on the command line, echos the line with CRLF at the end, and then it pauses for 1/4 of a second before going on to the next line. This gives BASIC plenty of time to digest the line, even when transmitting at 9600 baud.
To use the script, just redirect the output to your serial port. On my laptop this is at /dev/ttyUSB0. For example a full session for me works like this:
- Launch minicom with my 9600 7S1 setup
- Load 8k BASIC from tape.
- Launch a second window (either another term or screen, tmux, etc.)
- Use slowcat to send the code to the altair.
For instance, suppose I wanted to send the terribly addictive game wumpus4k.bas to /dev/ttyUSB0. I would type:
- Code: Select all
slowcat wumpus4k.bas > /dev/ttyUSB0
(assuming you put slowcat somewhere on your path of course!)
While that runs, you'll see the code echo out on your minicom session. Once it completes, you can run it, save it to tape, and do antyhing else you want. Best of all, you don't have to leave the comfort of 9600 baud!
So that's my first little code contribution. I hope you find the information useful. I think I'll soon be uploading some altair code for you to play with.

This Month's "Fuck Yeahs" in Feminism
It's official, feminism has become mainstream — and we couldn't be happier about it. Over the past few years, the word 'feminist' has shifted from being associated with aggressive extremists to becoming a symbol of pride and a part of the greater movement towards achieving gender equality. Feminists are no longer seen as 'man-hating lunatics' but are considered social trailblazers. With Beyonce's Flawless vid and Miley freeing her nipple, Hollywood is doing a good job of normalizing feminism. So, to honor the badasses in show biz who aren't afraid to speak up their mind — here are 5 instances of feminism that took place this month and made us audibly say "fuck yeah."
The Saldanas
As if Zoe Saldana couldn't be any cooler, get this: her dreamy italian hubby Marco Perego decided to unconventionally take her last name. Apparently Saldana even tried to discourage him from doing so. The actress revealed, "I told him, 'If you use my name, you're going to be emasculated by your community of artists, by your Latin community of men, by the world.' But Marco looks up at me and says (in his Italian accent), 'Ah, Zoe, I don't give a shit.'" So shout out to the Saldanas, our new fav power couple.
Ariana Grande's twitter letter
Popstar Ariana Grande took her feminist concerns to twitter earlier this week where she tweeted a letter that takes a jab at the patriarchy. The letter is a typed up list that challenges the double standards and misogynistic ideals women are constantly subject to. She writes, "If a woman has a lot of sex (or any sex for that matter)…. she's a "slut". If a man has sex… HE'S A STUD. a BOSSSSSS. a KING." Yaaaas Ariana.
Hayley Williams' tumblr post
There's no perfect feminist — and Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has definitely embodied that view. Earlier this month, she posted on her tumblr that she does not want to be associated with her 'Misery Business' 17 year old self. She states, "Misery Business is not a set of lyrics that I relate to as a 26 year old woman. I haven't related to it in a very long time." — indicating that 'whore', like she sings in the tune, is no longer a word in her vocabulary.
Charlie XCX & Grace Jones freeing their nips
'Free the Nipple' has gone viral both on and off the web empowering women everywhere to take a stand against censorship and the unfair treatment of women's bodies. This past weekend, both Charlie XCX and Grace Jones took part in the firece-ass movement. At Gov Ball, Charlie XCX flashed her nips to the crowd while the ultra fabulous 67 year old Grace Jones performed in Manchester topless, wearing almost nothing but body paint and showed us that age is truly just a number and that all nips deserve to be free.
Aside from always making a statement on the red carpet, Lady Gaga also knows how to make a statement in politics. The eccentric 29 year old singer has been working with NY governor Andrew Cuomo to change legislation of sexual assault policies on college campuses. In a manifesto, published on Billboard, she affirms, "We have a responsibility to the young men and women of this country to stand up against sexual violence everywhere." — you tell 'em Gaga.

At Cronk Ny Mona Dunlop's advantage was down to 1.948 seconds as Hutchinson continued to show his sensational TT 2015 form, Martin still held third place in front of Hillier whilst Lee Johnston was showing strongly in fifth.
End of lap saw Michael Dunlop hold 1.6 seconds lead over Ian Hutchinson following a dazzling opening lap speed of 130.932 mph on his own teams S1000RR BMW.
Guy Martin held third position, James Hillier was fourth, Lee Johnston fifth, Peter Hickman on Briggs Equipment S1000RR BMW impressed hugely in rounding out the top six.
Onto lap two and the race lead was back up to the 1.9 second mark at Glen Helen whilst Guy Martin was starting to come under increasing pressure from East Coast Racing's Lee Johnston just 1.3 seconds behind the Tyco BMW rider.
By Ballaugh it was clear that Ian Hutchinson was on a charge reducing the race lead to 1.006 seconds as he piled the pressure on Michael Dunlop.
Guy Martin maintained third place in front of Lee Johnston as James Hillier held fifth position.
Ramsey Hairpin would see the gap out front down to 0.848 seconds between Dunlop and Hutchinson. James Hillier moved up two places to third just 0.1 of a second in front of Guy Martin and only 0.3 of a second in front of Lee Johnston.
Bungalow saw Hutchinson reduce Dunlop's advantage even further to 0.373, there was nothing in it between two of the world's best pure road racers.
As they homed in on pit stops at Cronk Ny Mona Michael Dunlop re-opened an advantage at the front to 1.607 seconds over Ian Hutchinson, Guy Martin back into third was involved in an intriguing tussle for third position with James Hillier and Lee Johnston.
End of lap two as riders entered pit stop time saw Michael Dunlop's hold an advantage of 1.986 seconds over Ian Hutchinson, Guy Martin was third, Lee Johnston moved up to fourth, James Hillier held fifth as Peter Hickman finalised the top six.
Following pit stops Ian Hutchinson went into race lead whilst there was drama for Guy Martin who endured a lengthy pit stop which cost him up to 22 seconds on the leading trio of Hutchinson and Dunlop.
Glen Helen beckoned on lap three and it was Ian Hutchinson who was at the front opening up 2.776 seconds gap over Michael Dunlop, James Hillier moved back up to third, Lee Johnston was fourth, Peter Hickman an excellent fifth and David Johnson held sixth position.
Only change in race order within the top six at Ballaugh was for sixth position as Guy Martin moved in front of Smiths Racing's David Johnson, Ian Hutchinson's race lead at Ballaugh was up to now 4.833 seconds.
The gap out front grew by Ramsey Hairpin to 6.439 seconds, James Hillier continued to hold third place but was under pressure from Lee Johnston in fourth.
Through the Bungalow and Cronk Ny Mona Hutchinson's race lead stretched to 9.270 seconds, the Paul Bird Motorsport rider was proving once again his outstanding quality around the mountain course.
End of lap three saw positions as follows, Ian Hutchinson in first place by 9.380 seconds over Michael Dunlop in second, James Hillier held third position, Lee Johnston fourth, Peter Hickman a fine fifth and David Johnson a very creditable sixth.
Onto the final lap and could Michael Dunlop present a challenge to Ian Hutchinson chalking up his tenth TT victory.
With a race lead of 9.639 seconds at Glen Helen it was clear that Hutchy was homing in on his second race win during TT 2015.
By Ramsey Hairpin on lap four the race lead was now a very comfortable 17.080 seconds for Ian Hutchinson, Michael Dunlop in second was still battling away as the battle for third was very much on between James Hillier and Lee Johnston.
Bungalow would see no position changes within the top six, at Cronk Ny Mona with a 19 seconds advantage over Michael Dunlop, Ian Hutchinson was closing in another remarkable TT victory.
He crossed the line at the end of lap four to secure his tenth TT victory and his second race win at this year's Isle of Man TT.
Michael Dunlop finished a superb second as he battled the pain barrier showing true grit and determination.
Completing the podium finishers following a fantastic final lap was East Coast Racing's Lee Johnston.
It's Lee's first TT Races podium finish, third position for Lee was secured by 0.270 of a second over fourth place finisher James Hillier.
Peter Hickman finished a fantastic fifth as he recorded his new personal best result at TT Races, plus during the four lap race Hicky lapped close to the 130 mph bracket as he proved again why he is considered by many a TT winner in the making.
Rounding out the top six finishers was David Johnson piloting Smiths Racing S1000RR BMW.
Davo produced a highly accomplished display as did Tyco BMW's Guy Martin who finished in seventh position.
Honda's challenge was lead by John McGuinness piloting his own teams CBR 1000 Honda Fireblade to eighth place finish.
Top ten finishers where finalised by Isle of Man TT lap record holder Bruce Anstey and Jackson Racing's Conor Cummins.
Further notable results included Dean Harrison enjoying a strong ride to 13th on Mar Train Racing's R1M Yamaha.
Ivan Lintin secured highly creditable 14th place finish, Dan Cooper was a more than creditable 15th, Martin Jessopp finished a personal best 17th as James Neesom enjoyed a strong ride to 36th place finish.
Another highly compelling race at TT 2015 and one that brought Ian Hutchinson his tenth Isle of Man TT victory.
The Bingley bullet showcased again today his speed, talent, pace, ability, bravery and determination in what was a race record setting performance from the now 19 times international road race winner.
