SPIDI embodies the passion for design, for technique and speed – above all the responsibility to design solutions that deserve the trust of motorcyclists. SPIDI understand that motorcycle riders have a special sense of trust in clothing which is protection, comfort, style, functionality. SPIDI is therefore an emotive concept – a concept that describes the exchange of knowledge among groups of people who work in a community inspired by the research and development of new products to make riding a motorcycle safer. SPIDI makes you safer, more comfortable, when you cross your city, but also more adventurous experiences. SPIDI have been developing projects with great responsibility since 1977 – not looking just at the market or aesthetics but always at the edge of of expertise. The commitment among motorcyclists, the shared responsibility of raising the product, the complicity in the aim to increase security will make the difference that will be perceived by those who – like us – share a special dimension, we are the MOTORSPORT LIFESTYLE COMMUNITY.

The Deck…is Stacked: Pass the Tums
Nobody's Opinion
Well cowboys and cowgirls…I bet you're wondering like me, how in the WORLD did America come to our below the average intelligence of Presidential selfies? WHY are the leaders of the last thirty years, ignoring the white middle class of America, the majority of whom pay their bills?
Is it the water? Drugs? Money? Or is it….the incubator? The great incubator of our political elites?
Where DO these people get together?
Harvard. Yale.
Just how important is that incubator of education where we get all our leaders–our Presidents–our vast Congressional leaders?
Very important. In fact, the deck is stacked for the elites. All Obama needed to give him credibility was Harvard. Never mind that he sealed all his school records, and that he was put as President of the Harvard Law Review and didn't even have to write a single word.
All he needed to do was say he went there. Amazing.
About a dozen years ago, a man named Ron Unz actually did a study on the makeup of Harvard's students. He found that 20 percent of the student body was Asian. . and 25 to 33 percent were Jewish. Asians were then 3 percent of the population, and the Jews were 2.5 percent. What he found out, after factoring in foreign students, athletes, children of alumni and faculty, he found that White Christians then 70 percent of the population were down to 25 percent of Harvard's enrollment. The student bodies of Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Berkeley and Stanford was much the same.
"As Hispanics, Asians, blacks, and Jewish Americans vote heavily Democratic, the picture that emerged was of an Ivy League elite salving it social conscience by cheating white Christians out of first class tickets into society's top-tier, and given them instead to Harvard's preferred minorities. If the admissions politics of all the elite colleges and graduate schools are structured so that half the students are Asian, Jewish, and the progeny of pervious graduates, and another fourth comes in through affirmative action, while white Christians are always under represented, there is no doubt as to who will be running the country and who will be riding in the back of the bus. " Patrick J. Buchanan
And right now….trying to get into the front of the bus is a white man named Scott Walker.
Scott Walker is in the lead for the GOP contenders at the moment, and what are they attacking him on?
He doesn't have a college degree. In reality what they really mean is he did not go to Harvard. On the other hand, Jeb Bush got a degree from Texas University, after making poor grades all his life.Jeb's degree is in Latin American studies. He was being groomed to be the first bi-lingual elite President.
Hillary, doesn't speak Spanish.
It doesn't matter that Jeb went to Texas…maybe Harvard didn't offer the Latin American Studies, which is what he is going to run on…the Spanish vote.
The point is, the regular kid, from Iowa or Tennessee, never stood a chance of going to an elite college and getting into the connections of power.
It didn't matter if he scored perfect on every test.
They handpicked our future…and it is here. If we want to be represented, we'd have to start our own country….again.
Right now: we sit at the back of the bus.
And now you KNOW why that big, fat, grin is on Obama's face.
Nobody Flashes Beer Bottle Music
Nobody Flashes
I think I might have posted this before, but it's worth a second fun time.

And back again
Chromoso.mally Normal XY x 2
That's what the peri said, after I made phone call after call to get the results of our amnio, done on 11/27, or a year ago this coming Tuesday. 15 weeks and 3 days according to my calendar (15 and 1 according to them).
Oh, they told you it was 2 chromos.omally normal boys, right? he said.
And then C walked around, the widest smile I have ever seen, saying "BOYS!" and really began to imagine our new life. We were careful, we knew that things could happen in utero, that anything could happen, but "chromosomally" normal -- our chance for our babies was good. Clerical errors delayed our receiving these results, so we had 10 or 12 days of "Boys!" and imagining our life. Before it all went bad.
I couldn't eat much on Thanksgiving. I spent it on the couch, trying to sip diet coke and not be queasy. C cooked a beautiful meal, and I ate as much as I could, but the next day I was at the local hosp for dehydration again.
Right now every other word on TV and out there in the world is "Christmas." I just don't know how I'm going to get through it.
Yes, things are marginally better. I leave the house. I focus on dear four-legged creatures who shower me with love. Sweet Stella snores on her pillow in the corner, giving me a reason to get up in the morning. There are glimpses of that thi.ng with fe.athers.
Better, but not okay. I had some ideas about having a couple of dear Boston friends here for New Years, so C could go out of town to see his dear friends. But I can't seem to make the phone calls, emails. Not yet.
Dr. Shrink appointment on Tuesday. Maybe that will give me courage.
In the mean time, I don't know how I'm going to get through it.

Ugh, the holidays. I wish I could just fast-forward you through them, roller-coaster free. I don't know what will help--something to look forward to on the other side? Boston friends sound fun, but will you be OK with C gone?
I hope Dr. Shrink can help. Thinking of you, Sue.

I know, I'm with you.
It's cold comfort, but we get through them because we have no choice, time passes whether we want it to or not.
Hang in there, you are loved.

I double-checked your back story -- didn't realize you lost your boys so close to Christmas. As I told Mrs. Spit recently, there is obviously never a "good" time for this to happen, but there is a special place in my heart for those parents who endure this special kind of hell during or near the holidays. Do whatever you need to do to get through it, whether that's planning a distraction visit with friends or holing up at home with C. (((hugs)))

I wish I could plow through them too and just be in January already. I have thought about not decorating or shopping. But I feel like if I don't make myself this year, that I never will. But how do celebrate Christmas, etc. when you are also remembering your children's death(s) as well? I just haven't come up with an answer yet. At least people aren't overly cheery yet, I think that's when I might start punching strangers.
- November 24, 2008 at 9:19 AM
- Heather said...
I'm with you too.
My loss wasn't close to Christmas like yours but the holiday sucks in general. It's a whole holiday about a baby, to start with, and then you put the happy people on top of it and it's enough to drive one mad.
Hubby and I made ridiculously expensive, very adult reservations for New Year's Eve and that's what I'm looking forward to. The only thing.
I'll be thinking about you as you come up on all these awful anniversaries.
- November 24, 2008 at 10:26 AM
- Tash said...
Me either, and I don't have the -versaries to contend with like you do. Which just adds a whole other level of assiness.
Don't you wish you could get your money back on those chromosomally normal amnio results? I know I do.
Thinking of you, S. This is such a tough place to be in, reliving the moments leading up to the one year mark. It's all so vivid and horrible. Here to go through it with you, really.
- November 24, 2008 at 11:06 AM
- Ya Chun said...
Friends sound like a good plan. Maybe you can 'purge' the house of negative energy.
As I have been telling everyone, I am just ignoring the holidays. No family in town, so why try to fake it? It's just another day on the calendar. I'm not religious, so I don't need to celebrate anyone's supposed birthday...
- November 24, 2008 at 11:55 AM
Ah, the holidays...... also known as the Infertile Trifecta..... I think Mel said that? Don't remember whose blog I got that from now....my brain, you see. It goes off without me.
I think CLC has a good idea, punching overly cheery people has a certain appeal.
Take care of yourself,do whatever you need to to get through it. And hug your darling critters hard and often.
I just love the picture of Stella. She's just precious.
Thinking of you...
- November 24, 2008 at 2:07 PM
- erica said...
I don't know either. The holidays just hurt this year, and I hate to think of all of the reminders you have to contend with.
I've considered a week-long drunken stupor from Christmas Eve to New Year's but am afraid it would worry the husband.
- November 24, 2008 at 3:01 PM
- luna said...
it's going to be tough, no question. I hope you find ways to cope, just stay afloat, don't expect miracles. you will get through this. the edd and first anniv. are the hardest days. being around the holidays just makes it that much harder.
I never got the chromosomal tests until afterwards -- I had rejected an amnio because I was so high risk; lot of good that did me. I remember the doc calling me with the results as I was walking down a city street. normal male. it was like getting punched in the gut. I turned into an alley and bawled my eyes out until my stomach hurt...

A high-end boutique specialising in plus size clothing for women has been robbed of more than $60,000 in stock after a burglar with an eye for fashion struck over the long weekend.
This morning The Carpenters Daughter owner Caroline Marr received a call from one of her employees informing her the store in Tirau, Waikato, had been broken into and one third of her garments cleared from the racks.
"It is 140 garments, with a retail value of $60,000.
"The unusual thing is that they have an eye for fashion," Marr said.
The thief appeared fashion savvy and aware of the designer brands, opting to take only garments from the newest season, she said.
"They went for the top labels and handpicked, grabbed.
"There was care for the garments, a lot of thought and a lot of planning went into it," Marr said.
"I think they are involved with the fashion world."
Interestingly, the store was not left in a mess, the only sign someone had been in was the depleted stocks and the front door left ajar.
Marr said the store may have been targeted on Sunday or Monday.
The clothes stolen included garments from her own brand named after the store, La La, Juna and Euphoria.
The stolen clothes were very identifiable and "all brand new from this season".
"These items can only be found at this store."
"I have been in Tirau for the last six years. I have never been broken into."
The theft wasn't just hurting Marr, who was not insured, but the young Kiwi designers who she helped give a platform.
"It is all New Zealand made by young designers that I help give a platform."
By taking the garments it was also taking away crucial exposure for up and coming designers, she said.
Police confirmed they had received a report of a burglary at the Tirau store.

All the Opening Sentences from Stephen King Books, Ranked
Updated March 11, 2019 42.6k votes 6.3k voters 92.1k views 45 items
The first lines in Stephen King books set the stage for the stories that follow. Over his long career, King has written opening sentences that are funny, informative, scary, and downright odd. But which one is the best?
Is it the simple statement about the gunslinger following the man in black through the desert in The Gunslinger, the novel that begins his epic eight-novel fantasy cycle? Is it the more in-depth breakdown of the Boston Globe reporter's surroundings in The Colorado Kid? Is it the random gurgles and moans that kick off Misery? Or is it something else entirely?
There's certainly not a shortage to chose from. Check out the list below to view every first sentence from King's novels and vote up your favorite ones!
list ordered by
The terror, which would not end for another twenty-eight years - if it ever did end - began, so far as I know or can tell, with a boat made from a sheet of newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain.
The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.
The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger
The world had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted.

People's lives - their real lives, as opposed to their simple physical existences - begin at different times.
The Dark Half
She sits in the corner, trying to draw air out of a room which seemed to have plenty just a few minutes ago and now seems to have none.
Rose Madder
Almost everyone thought the man and the boy were father and son.
'Salem's Lot
Louis Creed, who had lost his father at three and who had never known a grandfather, never expected to find a father as he entered his middle age, but that was exactly what happened...although he called this man a friend, as a grown man must do when he finds the man who should have been his father relatively late in life.
Pet Sematary
This happened in 1932, when the state penitentiary was still at Cold Mountain.
The Green Mile
This is the story of a lover's triangle, I suppose you'd say - Arnie Cunningham, Leigh Cabot, and, of course, Christine.
I have never been what you'd call a crying man.
On the second day of December in a year when a Georgia peanut farmer was doing business in the White House, one of Colorado's great resort hotels burned to the ground.

NorthWestern Energy has its base of operations in South Dakota because of the state's regressive corporate tax law, so do several other
After approval by the PUC, NorthWestern's request will mean an average increase of $16.76 per month for the typical electric customer, or about 56 cents per day.
According to information provided to the Huron Daily Plainsman, the rate case has nothing to do with carbon rules proposed by the Obama administration for coal-fired plants; but, 96 percent of the $26.5 million being requested involves the Environmental Protection Agency's mandated pollution controls at the Big Stone/Neal Unit 4 generating plants, Aberdeen peaking plant and the Yankton substation.
Behind the paywall at the Aberdeen American News the paper is hosting a propaganda piece written by NWE's CEO who lives in Helena, Montana: a place where his personal income is taxed by the state. He wants the SDPUC to allow the company to raise its rates because of a decision to buy dams that generate power from public waterways in Montana and to build a new complex in Butte.
Public Service New Mexico (PNM) was denied a rate increase because that state has a vigorous two party system where steamrolling over the state's power commission, made up of representatives from both political parties, is improbable. PNM has been sent back to the drawing board to rewrite its proposal for an increase.
Imagine such folly happening in South Dakota.
This was the biggest hit day in the history of The Dakota Progressive: thanks to all who visit here.

@Amber-Lynn-Benton . Yes! That is my image. I thought the cymbals were obvious, but now I can see they were not. They definitely need more detail but since I wanted to keep the room dark, I lost a lot of information.
Something to think about in the future.

@burvantill After listening to the AWESOME SAUCE critique yesterday I have applied most of @Lee-White 's recommendations. I have removed/lightened the pencil lines in the mountains, increased contrast throughout and changed the colors of the boys clothes in the back. The reason they were all the same is because they are boy scouts in their type B uniform, but the masses don't know about that so, since this is not a BSA illustration it is wise to have their outfits be dissimilar. I did not move the "boy on the hat" because I would have had to repaint it, but I will keep that type of juxtaposition in mind moving forward.

I just saw this post today about your video critiques of all of the submissions.
I was captivated by your suggestions to each image and watched the whole thing through.
Thank you very much on the critique, I do use traditional mediums as this point and I am investigating digital formats to bring my work to the next level and hopefully increase interest in my work for children's illustration.

Metro skin for Steam has this dark, sleek look that's quite irresistible. Largely decorated in grey and black and with a tweak in its general overlay, the skin brings something more to the table, especially for the modern gamer. While Steam provides a great gaming platform on a PC or laptop, it is somewhat ugly, clunky and a bit annoying, more particularly on high DPI displays.
Metro hence seeks to give the default Steam interface a new lease of life in nearly all facets. And it does it so perfectly, without really going in for a complete overhaul. Whether you are a fussy individual or someone who takes keen interest in simplicity, you'll find respite in this well balanced skin.
Let's take a look at some of the most important aspects you may need to know about this Steam skin:
Metro Steam for skin client is dark-themed and features among skins that have gained massive acclamation in the Steam community. Its design, right from the header to menu layouts all through to the footer, is just solid. Accessing such pages as Store, Library and other important functions to the right of the header is hassle-free as text and icons come in light colors which lie against a dark background.
The skin's general design is compact but access to the download page, friend list and other sections on the taskbar is still quick and seamless. The mix of text colors used on the section headings and links is also vibrant, and considering the somewhat tinted background, legibility is no issue for the user.
With the Metro skin, you can customize the Steam (to a certain degree) via a web app or browser-based utility. To perform the customization, all you need to do is choose your desired accent color, font and decal then drop the file generated into the Metro folder and you'll enjoy the personalized look you so wish for. It just never gets more fun than this.
Installing Metro is just as easy as you would to do for other Steam skins. The in-game features, chat panel and other Steam parts maintain close similarity to the Windows UI, making users feel right at home when performing installation. Metro skin uses custom, clean buttons that pair well with the vibrant text to make maneuverability around the Steam quite a breeze.
Metro is highly compatible with all Steam versions, including the latest one. Hence you are assured of enjoying a bug-free and comfortable interface that sets the stage for fun game play and download.

A couple of late results from last weekend plus two landmark achievements mean that that modern rarity a midweek column has been required to report on all the club activities ahead of a busy second weekend of July. The Abersoch triathlon festival took place last weekend on the Llyn Peninsula in north Wales and Mal Balmer took part in this long-running event which offers various triathlons as well as 10k and 1k beach running races. Mal was in a hotly contested M50+ division and rolled with the punches from the off with a tough sea swim leading to a picturesque bike course and an off-road run to finish. He finished 13th overall in a very competitive field while also placing third in his age group, taking in some of the more bizarre occurrences all season along the way including a massed start run and dive into the water, followed by a house on fire during the bike course! There was more age group success to come at the Fergus Sprint Triathlon in Northern Ireland where Nigel Taylor flew the flag for St Helens and won his division.
It is somewhat rare that a bike time trial makes the headlines nowadays, but Dean Golba has made a remarkable transformation from racing with various forms of petrol engine to human-powered competition on two wheels having only purchased his first TT bike a few months ago. Those of you who read the reports weekly might remember that he set the fastest bike split at the club duathlon on Good Friday en route to third overall and since then he has steadily go this 10 mile times down on the Rainford course. On Tuesday night, while most went for the "night off" option also known as watching England beat Colombia at the World Cup, Dean took to the D10/1 course once again having made more tweaks to his position and lowered his previous best time by over a minute, recording an outstanding 22:32 which put him seventh overall on the night.
However, the biggest midweek story undoubtedly came from Fyn, Denmark where Mark Turner was competing in the world standard distance duathlon championships for the second straight year. Last August, in Penticton, Canada he placed 10th in the world after a relatively trouble-free season. The past 12 months have been more difficult including one injury which held back his training for seven months but remarkably, he repeated his 2017 result in a time of 1:55:49 while also finishing as third GB athlete home. Mark has reached this level unbelievably quickly having not raced at all before 2016 and his remarkable rise to stardom will only continue in nine week's time at the world triathlon championships in Australia. Before then, however, there are a whole host of signature races, including the conclusion of the ongoing Tour of Merseyside, the Ullswater Triathlon, the Snowman Triathlon weekend (hosted by the Always Aim High events team who organised Abersoch), the club relays and the Sundowner Half Ironman, not to mention the biggest event of the year, Ironman UK, which is only nine days away at the time of writing. Cowbells and big screens at the ready for the World Cup Final in Bolton, then……….

Main Features and Stakes
1, 5, 10, 25 and 100 are the chip values that you can choose on this unique game. You can also click on the Rebet Button to place the same initial bet, or you can undo your bet amounts by clicking on Clear all. £1 is the minimum bet per position while £100 is the maximum. For a total bet, the maximum you can place is £500 and the least is £1. If you do not like being distracted while playing, you can adjust the sound and the voices by using the setting button.
All you got to do on this game is to guess the number that is going to be selected when the wheel will stop spinning. There are seven diverse betting positions you can place a bet on and these are: 1, 3, 5, 11, 23 four leaf clover and Horse shoe. These are visible on the super wheel across the fifty-two segments. Before pressing the Spin Button, you need to place your bets on any of the seven gaming situations that are available. Once the wheel stops spinning, the indicator will stop on a number and that would be the winning number.
The winnings are decided on the number that is triggered. For instance, if you win on number 1, you win 1x your bet amount, for number 3 the winnings are multiplied by 3, for number 5 you win 5 times your bet amount and for number 11 your winnings are multiplied by 11. The top pay-out is when winning on number 23 as your winnings are 23x your bet amount. For more winnings, try placing a bet on the Four Leaf clover or the Horse Shoe symbol which gives winnings no less than 47 times your bet amount.
Fun Facts
There are many games such as truth or dare, which are like the game of wheel. For instance, when playing truth or dare, a bottle is spun. On whoever the bottle stops, the person must either answer truthfully to a question or do anything he/she is asked to do as a dare. There are other games as well on which people have to spin a wheel, and on whatever the needle stops, the person wins that prize. The first spinning wheel was first made on China somewhere between 500 and 1,000 years back.

Sony, Ubisoft, and Square-Enix at E3!
E3 is still going strong! Yesterday, we saw showcases from Square-Enix, Ubisoft, and Sony. Let's see what they brought to the table.
To start, Square-Enix's showcase was kind of a joke. They already shot gunned out their most anticipated content on the Microsoft stage. Kingdom Hearts 3, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Just Cause 4 were all shown at the Xbox event. Square only revealed two, count them, two new games on their own stage, The Quiet Man and Babylon's Fall. And those didn't even tell us anything about the games! No gameplay, no genre, and certainly not any sort of release date. Square-Enix seriously dropped the ball this year.
By contrast, Ubisoft showed a lot of new content. The big reveal was information on Beyond Good & Evil 2. Aside from a beautiful pre-rendered cutscene, we only saw some pre-Alpha game footage, which gave away little. Ubi seemed to infer it would have multiplayer in some respect, and we did see a return of the original game's protagonist, Jade.
Ubi also showed off a sequel to the irreverent motocross game Trials. Trials Rising showed off its zany nature and is releasing in February of 2019. Starlink: Battle for Atlantis showed off insane space-fighter action, promised an Amibo-styled toy interface, and even a cameo of Fox McCloud form Star Fox for the Switch version, and comes out on all consoles on October 16th of this year. They even gave a little Arwing toy to Star Fox creator and Nintendo guru Shigeru Miyamoto. Aww, Isn't that sweet?
Tom Clancy's The Division 2 was a focal point. They showed off the multiplayer aspect with in-game footage, and promised to have up to eight-player raids. The game takes place in Washington, DC, seven months after the outbreak that prompted the first game. Ubisoft has made it clear that they listened to fan's somewhat lukewarm reaction to the original, and have pained to make sure the sequel is better in every aspect.
Finally, Ubi showed off the new Assassin's Creed game, Odyssey. The game takes place in ancient Greece. In a first for the series, you can choose to play as either a man or a woman, though there are no gameplay or story differences between the two. The game seems to play a lot like the previous entry, Origins, but with a remade UI that seems to have been stolen from The Witcher III. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's a bit lazy to rip off another more successful game's interface. Odyssey releases on October 5th.
And finally, we move on to the big boy, Sony. As I suspected, Sony mainly played it safe, focusing on their four big titles, but they did let a few surprises slip. The show started with a bang as they debuted a story and gameplay trailer for The Last of Us: Part II. In it, we see the first game's protagonist Ellie All grown up, and even smooching with a love interest. Then, it almost jarringly cuts to her shanking a dude in the forest, followed by about 5 minutes of intense stealth combat. It ended with the smooching again, which, in my mind, speaks to how much the story and gameplay interweave. No release date, dammit, but based on what I saw, I'm more than willing to wait for this game.
Next up was an extended trailer and gameplay of Ghosts of Tsushima from Infamous developers Sucker Punch. The game looked beautiful, and showed a lot of combat, stealth, and story. No release date, sadly, but this is one to watch.
Speaking as myself for a moment, I totally fanboy'd out when they showed a trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake, and geeked out even harder when they gave a release date of January 25th, 2019. So close, yet oh so far away…
After that, we got a very frustrating look at Death Stranding, the latest from "too weird for his own good" developer Hideo Kojima. I say frustrating because the trailer, which lasted a bit over five minutes, tells us literally nothing about the game! It was just extended looks of The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus walking across, admittedly beautiful, set pieces with no context. We saw fetuses in jars, a lady eating a worm or something, and what looked like Reedus shoving a wire up his butt. But story, gameplay, or any sort of hints as to what the Hell it is? Oh, no, that wouldn't be "Kojima" enough! We can guess by one segment that it will include stealth mechanics, which I will admit Kojima knows well from Metal Gear Solid, but beyond that? No clue. And of course it doesn't have a release date yet.
A lot of gameplay footage was shown for Spider-Man, which releases September 7th. The web slinger's moves seem flashy and tighter than ever, so I, for one, am definitely going to pick it up.
Sony also teased a sequel to last year's hit samurai game Nioh, as well as a very short trailer for Destiny 2: Forsaken, and some remastered maps for Call of Duty Black Ops III. Also, I was super hyped to find out that yes, From Software is developing a PS4 only game. However, I was kinda confused by it. It's not Bloodborne 2, but instead it seems to be some narrative-focused VR-only game. Huh.
That's it for now! All that's left is Nintendo, and they usually steal the show, so stay tuned for more!

BluWave-ai and Sustainable Power Systems Announce Collaboration to Integrate Artificial Intelligence and Microgrid Control
Combined solution enables autonomous AI-controlled grids with renewable energy
OTTAWA, Canada and BOULDER, Colorado, USA – July 17, 2018 – BluWave-ai and Sustainable Power Systems have announced a collaboration to integrate BluWave-ai distributed artificial intelligence software with Sustainable Power Systems' advanced Universal Microgrid Controller® (UMC).
By merging these progressive technologies, BluWave-ai and Sustainable Power Systems (SPS) will provide a solution for optimal control of microgrids, adding particular value in microgrids with high renewable energy penetration, battery energy storage, and dynamic load conditions. This evolutionary step in microgrid control enables lower energy costs, lower greenhouse gas emissions, extended battery life, and increased revenue for owners and operators of microgrids: Off-grid microgrids such as remote communities, islands, military forward bases, mining and forestry operations; and grid-connected microgrids such as commercial and industrial plants and campuses.
BluWave-ai's distributed AI-based software optimizes the operation of smart grids and microgrids. It uses both real-time and archived data to perform accurate forecasting of loads and renewable generation output, sending recommendations, signals and actions to optimally manage grid resources.
"As an early innovator in AI for islanded and grid-attached microgrids, we view this infusion of AI for microgrid controllers similar to the evolution of autonomous vehicle technology for safety and ultimately self-driving cars," said Devashish Paul, CEO of BluWave-ai. "To drive this evolutionary step for microgrid control, we are really excited to be working with SPS's team of microgrid controller pioneers with roots in the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL)."
BluWave-ai's solution consists of components at the edge and cloud data center. BluWave-ai Edge is installed at the aggregation points of IoT sensors, meters, and other sources of data. The physical location can be at edge computing nodes, a private data center or public cloud. BluWave-ai Center machine learning runs in either the private data center or public cloud, collecting data from Edge nodes to train AI models and coordinate functions between multiple BluWave-ai Edge locations. It includes an ensemble of machine learning and statistical techniques that discover patterns in data, performing predictive analysis and pattern recognition in real-time.
"With our broad deployment of microgrids in Alaska, Continental US and China, the powerful combination of BluWave-ai's artificial intelligence with our Universal Microgrid Controller will provide enhanced operation for microgrids worldwide." said Steve Drouilhet, CEO of Sustainable Power System.
Sustainable Power Systems has developed a full suite of modular and flexible power components and control systems that integrate and manage power generation from different sources – grid, wind, solar, micro hydro, CHP units, and diesel generators – coordinated to achieve reliable electricity supply, power system dynamic stability, and maximum fuel savings. The Universal Microgrid Controller® is a powerful power and energy management system designed to meet the needs of a wide spectrum of microgrid applications and architectures. It monitors and controls the operation of all microgrid system components, providing high power quality and reliability, maximum renewable energy utilization, minimum fossil fuel consumption, and lowest overall cost of energy. The UMC is an easy-to-install industrial control cabinet that virtually eliminates the need for any control system integration engineering on the part of the project developer/installer.
The joint solution will be offered by both companies beginning in 2H 2018. Contact BluWave-ai or Sustainable Power Systems for further information.
About BluWave-ai
BluWave-ai was founded to optimize renewable energy usage with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in smart grids and microgrids. We are using our expertise in big data, AI, supercomputing, and distributed edge computing to positively impact how our planet uses clean renewable energy sources. BluWave-ai's products manage loads and distributed clean energy sources in real-time to make optimal allocations. BluWave-ai ingests large data sets, applies AI, and optimizes system decisions in both energy and pricing contexts.
About Sustainable Power Systems
Sustainable Power Systems, Inc. is a leading controls manufacturer and integrator for renewable energy microgrids for both grid-tied and off-grid community and industrial scale applications. SPS believes that microgrid technology is the key to enabling the massive deployment of distributed renewables that will be necessary to avert catastrophic climate change.

Random variation in rectal position during radiotherapy for prostate cancer is up to three times higher than that predicted from prostate motion. Brit J Radiol. 2014 Oct; 87(1042): 20140343.
Objective:Radiotherapy for prostate cancer does not explicitly take into account daily variation in the position of the rectum. It is important to accurately assess accumulated dose (DA) to the rectum in order to understand the relationship between dose and toxicity. The primary objective of this work was to quantify systematic (Σ) and random (σ) variation in the position of the rectum during a course of prostate radiotherapy.Methods:The rectum was manually outlined on the kilo-voltage planning scan and 37 daily mega-voltage image guidance scans for 10 participants recruited to the VoxTox study. The femoral heads were used to produce a fixed point to which all rectal contours were referenced.Results:Σ [standard deviation (SD) of means] between planning and treatment was 4.2 mm in the anteroposterior (AP) direction and 1.3 mm left–right (LR). σ (root mean square of SDs) was 5.2 mm AP and 2.7 mm LR. Superior–inferior variation was less than one slice above and below the planning position.Conclusion:Our results for Σ are in line with published data for prostate motion. σ, however, was approximately twice as great as that seen for prostate motion. This suggests that DA may differ from planned dose in some patients treated with radiotherapy for prostate cancer.Advances in knowledge:This work is the first to use daily imaging to quantify Σ and σ of the rectum in prostate cancer. σ was found to be greater than published data, providing strong rationale for further investigation of individual DA.


text: Woll is a poised and reliable butterfly-style puckstopper. He is very calm in his net, rarely looks panicked and is always in full control of his movements. He has a good anticipation of the developing plays around him, which allows him to accomplish some timely saves to keep his team in every game. His leg moves are also accurate and he always seems to find the right spot to be when a shot is taken. Woll moves well going post-to-post, although he could add some quickness in that regard. He is very quick popping up and dropping down, and mobile moving in and out of his crease. Woll is safe in that his large frame allows him to stay within his blue paint more often than not so he can get back if the approaching shooter fakes and goes for an in-close deke or pass instead. He is solid fundamentally, has quick reflexes and can make some acrobatic plays when necessary. He needs to track the puck better. Woll seems to lose sight of the puck in tight and also when the play is developing at the blue line. With his size, he should be able to fight through any crease traffic, and see over players in front of him in an attempt to stop the puck. He has a tendency to push back very deep in his crease, and this results in a lot of his angles being off. His puckhandling ability and stick work are good, but not great. Woll isn't afraid to try to make plays with the puck on dump-ins and board wraps. Has some strong upside as a big, yet athletic, stopper. (May 2016)

- See&do In Vodice »
On the main square in Vodice there are two wells, the upper is made of white stone and the bottom well is made from glass. According to legend, it is necessary to insert a coin into the well and wish for a good luck. The wells are connected to one another and the conductive system between the wells is more than a thousand years old. People made the wells by the underground river beneath the town according to its flow. The upper well, because it is farther from the sea, had been a source of drinking water, while the lower served for washing clothes and feeding the animals. After the wells were destroyed, their copies were raised in their place.

BLKSTHL gets a well-deserved facelift
Hi all
I felt that it was time to give the blog a facelift, the built-in theme was nice but it had drawbacks such as the width that for some reason are to narrow on all of the offered out of box themes. This design is somewhat SharePoint 2013 inspired and is easier to read and has more horizontal space…finally. No more cropped code segments…
My hope is that you will find it better in every way. If the theme is anything you like, feel free to ask for it and you shall recieve the CSS file.
And yes, just to remind myself what I had Before, this is what it looked like:
SPB usage guide – 2 Configuration and Modification
SPB usage guide – 2 Configuration and Modification
This is the guide on how to install and use the SharePoint Branding Project.
Download: Visual Studio gallery
The guide is devided into three parts:
2 Configuration and Modification
3 Deployment and verification (soon to be released)
In part 1 of this guide, we left off at the new project dialog:
In the categories, select C#, SharePoint, 2010 and SharePoint 2010 Branding Project.
Name the project(This name will also be the name of the SharePoint Feature), select its file location and Click OK.
Clicking on OK will create a new project for you in Visual Studio, the project will be a complete branding solution ready to deploy or package and install to a SharePoint 2010 farm or even an Office 365/SharePoint online tenant.
The first thing that you will see is the SharePointBrandingProject in the solution explorer:
The solution will by default have a number of components and functionalities.
Custom SPB Masterpages for:
Team sites MyBranding.master, equivalent to the general V4.master.
Meeting Workspaces MyBrandingMWS.master, equivalent to the general MWSDefaultV4.master.
Team sites MyBrandingMinimal.master, equivalent to the minimal.master.
Custom SPB StyleSheets:
MyStyles.css, Contains styles for basic look and feel for most sites and is used in all masterpages.
MyStylesMinimal.css, This is an additional stylesheet loaded and used when the MyBrandingMinimal.master is loaded.
Custom logo:
Custom Favicon:
Custom Eventreciever:
ChildSiteInit, This handles the web provisioned event to apply branding on new subsites.
Custom Feature:
Main, This feature applies the branding to the rootsite and all subsites.
In order to deploy this solution directly from Visual Studio to your test site, enter the url of you site collection in the project properties:
Now you are ready to deploy the solution to SharePoint with the default branding. The default branding is good looking and all that, but perhaps you want to make a few changes first? I would however recommend that you try the deployment so that you can verify that everything really works and that you have the permissions needed and so on. After successful trial deploy and complete awe for the good looking SHarePoint you made for yourself, it is time to start changing the branding.
First thing you will want to do, is replace the logo and favicon(if you did not know this, the favicon is the small tiny image that is located to very left in the address field in your Internet Explorer browser(I guess FF and others too). The favicon is loacated in Solution Explorer in the Images folder under the Style Library/My Branding/Images/
You can replace this file with a new favicon using the same name, but it must have the same properties: 32×32, a 24bit bmp .ico file. There are applications that are made just for the purpose of creating icons available. Or there is a plugin to PhotoShop available if you have access to PhotoShop (ICO (Windows icon) plugin). You can also edit the icon right here in Visual Studio but that is probably not for the thorrow artists…
Same story with the logo, it does not have the same rigorous restrictions on the size and type, but it should be close to what is the default size, use a too big or small image and you will have to make adjustments to the master/Stylesheets to compensate.
The logo can be edited in Visual Studio but that is not something that you do, use a proper image editing application, or simply adjust you current company/Organization/Customer logo to fit. I will now show you how you replace the default logo file with your own custom logo:
The current logo, logo.png – 120×120.
Delete the default logo by right clicking on the imagefile in the solution explorer and Click Delete:
Click OK in the confirmation dialog:
Now the logo file is deleted and we have to replace it with our new custom logo file. For simplicity, use a PNG file if you have one (if you don't, use another file but then you will HAVE to edit the feature that adds the logo to the site).
To add the image, Right Click on the Images flder in solution explorer, then select Existing Item and Add:
Browse to your logo file in the explorer window, it can be located locally, or on a fileshare somewhere. Select the file and Click Add:
Now the imagefile is added, in my case I have found a wonderful logo from back in the days, when SharePoint 2001 was the talk of the town. SharePoint Portal Server 2001 had a pretty mean logo, this is what I'll be using in my demo. See this guide part 3 for a presentation of that logo in action.
For the branding project to recognize the image as the logo, it will have to be renamed to logo.png (unless you used another fileformat or if you want to edit the feature to fit anyway).
Right Click on the Image in the Solution explorer window and select Rename.
Beautiful! The solution is again ready to be deployed:
Before we deploy the solution, I want to just quickly show you the basics of how you edit the real source of the branding solution, the master pages and the stylesheets. What you do is that you in Solution explorer, Double Click on the master or stylesheet you want to edit or look at. Try that and you will see something like this for the master:
And this if you Double Click on a StyleSheet(css)…
Did you know that CSS actually stands for Cascading Style Sheets, Cascading comes from the order in which they are applied, the classes in the last css to be applied overruns the previous even if they contain the same classes.
Now we are ready to deploy. So, how do we do that? From Visual Studio, you simply do it in a few Clicks, or really, its just two Clicks away.
Right Click on the Project in Solution explorer, Click Deploy.
Verify that the deployment went ok:
In my case, it did! Happy happy! Over to the browser and verify the new look and feel, go to the site, if allready there, refresh the page.
This is what my site looks like with that beautiful replaced retro logo, don't you just love it?
In the next section of this guide, I will show you what the branding does and what you will see in the browser 'onsite'.
The next part is called:
3 Configuration and Modification (soon to be released)

Hi friends.
Allow me to welcome you on a journey to the wonderful world of SharePoint Branding. I created this SharePoint Branding Project thinking that the overhead and the learning curve to just get started with branding, was way too high. The amount of blogs to read and discard until you could actually build you very first, very basic custom branding solution, it was rediculous! Now pretty recently, the guides on Technet have been improved and most of them actually work, but it is still a long way to go if you want to start from scratch with little or no knowledge about how you go about creating such a project in Visual Studio.
With the SharePoint Branding Project, you can brand your company, organization or customer SharePoint in about 10 minutes, and you will have full control doing so. Follow this guide and you will cruise all the way to the finnish line.
To use this template, you need a SharePoint 2010 and Visual Studio on the same machine. If you can follow instructions, then you can achieve this.
Now, lets get started and have some fun, this IS fun after all!
There are two ways to download the extension file from the Visual Studio Gallery, the first is to simply go to the Visual Studio gallery, Click SPB.
Then on the large purple button, Click Download.
In the annoying but useful IE download bar, Click Open.
Click 'Install' to install the extension into Visual Studio.
When the extension is installed you will get a 'Complete' notice. Click Close in the dialog.
You are now done downloading and Installing the actual extension and you can now move on to the interesting stuff, to create a SharePoint Branding Project in Visual Studio.
But before we go into how, we will show you another way to install the extension. From Visual Studio Extension Manager. The extension manager will show the installed extension regarless of the way you installed it, here you will also be notified of updates that have been released of the same extension.
Follow these steps from Visual Studio:
Start the Extension Manager from Visual Studio, Tools menu, Click Extension Manager…
Click Online Gallery and search for SPB or browse the 'Templates' category and 'SharePoint' and you will find the SPB extension.
Click Download and the file will download and initiate the installation. Click Install in the next dialog:
When the extesion have been installed, you can't wait to get going with the branding right. Ok, we will start that part, regardless of the way you choose to perform the download and installation, and the installation (Which is very quick) has completed, in Visual Studio, select File, New and Click Project:
In the Installed Templates section, select Visual C#, SharePoint, 2010 and SharePoint 2010 Branding Project.
Name the project (This name will also be the name of the SharePoint Feature once deployed to SharePoint), select the projects file location and Click OK.
Now you are done with the installation and can move on to the next step in this guide:
2 Configuration and Modification
or jump directly to the last step, not recommended:
3 Deployment and verification(soon to be released)

A guide to Branding and SharePoint Foundation part 2
A guide to Branding and SharePoint Foundation
Part 2
This is the part two of the series trying to cover the tweaks needed to get a starter branding going on a SharePoint Foundation installation.
In part 1 I tried to explain why the most common method of using the $PUrl to get the relative path does not work and also how to customize the masterpage in order to insert a custom favicon without the use of $SPUrl. Now I will cover how to add a custom CSS to your master without the use of $SPUrl.
The most common method on a SharePoint server is to add this line:
<SharePoint:CssRegistration name="<% $SPUrl:~sitecollection/Style Library/My Branding/MyStyles.css %>"After="corev4.css" runat="server" />
After the default CSS loader:
<SharePoint:CssLink runat="server" Version="4″/>
But since the use of $SPUrl is unavailable to us, we need to find something else. If we use a hardcoded path it will work as long as the master is deployed only in the site collection root, but if we want to use the same master in all subsites(spwebs) as well, then we need a way to get the relative path from the sitecollection root. In my SharePoint Branding Project Foundation adaptation I solved it like this:
<asp:literal runat="server" Text="<link href='"/>
<SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="SiteUrl" runat="server" />
<asp:literal runat="server" Text="/Style Library/My Branding/MyStyles.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>"/>
What the code does is that it builds a new href link that point to the custom css deployed to the site collection style library, same as the <SharePoint:CssRegistration would, it renders a link and loads the css. If we want the custom css to be applied after the default, then we also need to add these lines before the default css line.
The trick to this is the use of the webcontrol SharePoint:ProjectProperty that is available for use in Foundation as well as Server. This will give you the URL to the Site Collection root, for example:
Putting two literal contols before and after the webcontrol to fill in the text needed for a complete link tag is all that is needed.
This solution works very well for me, I hope that you will also find some help in my suggestion.

A guide to Branding and SharePoint Foundation part 1
A guide to Branding and SharePoint Foundation
Part 1
SharePoint branding is something that most everyone wants to do, the default design is pretty good and stylish but it get dull and it does not fit in with any organizations brand book or design policy. A lot of posts have been written on the subject of SharePoint branding, many books have been published and most of what can be covered has been covered. What I found though during my work with the SharePoint Branding Project, is that there is a lack of information about branding and Foundation. Lots of organizations run Foundation, the reasons for doing so are many but the facts remains, SharePoint Foundation 2010 has a very large installed base. So, can't we just buy the book on SharePoint branding and implement it in our Foundation farm? The answer to that question is most of the time no, or rather, not very likely. SharePoint Server has one vital component that Foundation lacks, it has a publishing infrastructure feature. In most cases the publishing components are used for some vital parts of a branding package, the most common one that you will see in almost every post is the
<% $SPUrl:~sitecollection/pathtosomething/%>
The SPUrl token is very handy when storing files in a centralized location in SharePoint, like for example the 'sites/mycompany/style library/'. Lets use the FavIcon as an example in the first part.
<link rel='shortcut icon' href='<% $SPUrl:~sitecollection/Style Library/My Branding/Images/favicon.ico %>'/>
This tag would in Server farm pick the FavIcon image out from the site collection root. In Foundation you would see an error similar to this:
'The expression prefix 'SPUrl' was not recognized. Please correct the prefix or register the prefix in the <expressionBuilders> section of configuration.'
Accessing CSS or Image files in the Style Library is easy using the $SPUrl expression builder to get the relative Site Collection Root URL(/sites/mycompany) or even the current Web Root URL. In Foundation the SPUrl token can't be used so we need something else. One solution is pretty easy, just enter the relative path:
<link rel='shortcut icon' href='sites/mycompany/style library/my branding/Images/favicon.ico'/>
For the Site Collection Root the path would resolve to:
http://webapplication/sites/mycompany/Style Library/My Branding/Images/favicon.ico
Perfectly allright, the favicon would be loaded. This is a great solution, with one huge flaw. If you have the branding implemented in all of your subsites then the path will be correct only in the root. Since the path is relative, it would in an example subsite look like this in the master:
<link rel='shortcut icon' href='sites/MyCompany/Style Library/My Branding/Images/favicon.ico %>'/>
For my SubDivision subsite the path would resolve to:
http://webapplication/sites/mycompany/subdivision/Style Library/My Branding/Images/favicon.ico
Not ok! The load would fail since the favicon.ico is not located there. So, the permanent relative is only good for a site collection root with no subsites. You could obviously add the file to every subsite so that the path would work, but that is not really an option in most cases. So, how do we do it then…? In my own SharePoint branding project I use this workaround to replace the <link rel='shortcut icon' token:
<asp:literal runat="server" Text="<link rel='shortcut icon' href='"/>
<SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="SiteUrl" runat="server" />
<asp:literal runat="server" Text="/style library/my branding/images/favicon.ico'/>"/>
It is a workaround, but it works. This will in reality build a relative path to the Site Collection Root even in the subsites and it will build up the <link> token by using 2 literal asp controls and the SharePoint:ProjectProperty control that is available in Foundation. The result in runtime will be the same as for a URL built on the $SPUrl expression builder.
<link rel='shortcut icon' href='sites/mycompany/style library/my branding/Images/favicon.ico'/>
Add this to your Masterpage and you will have a functional FavIcon that uses a relative path.
Stay tuned!
Best regards

The resumption of major joint military exercises between the United States and South Korea is not "necessary", Pentagon chief Patrick Shanahan has told reporters, despite stalled negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang.
The US regularly conducted large-scale military manoeuvres with the South Korean army until the first meeting of President Donald Trump with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un last year.
They were suspended at Trump's request to facilitate dialogue with Pyongyang and replaced by more limited exercises, but negotiations on the North Korean nuclear programme have hit a stalemate
Asked on Sunday whether the exercises would resume, Shanahan replied: "I don't think it is necessary."
The acting secretary of defence added that the US forces in South Korea were already "prepared if diplomacy fails" with the North.
"I am confident that we have the readiness that we are required to have, the operational forces and the posture," Shanahan said while flying to Seoul for the third leg of his week-long tour of Asia.
On Saturday, in his first major speech on the international stage at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Shanahan mixed sharp criticism of China and warnings of North Korea's "extraordinary" threat with vows that the US will remain strongly committed to the Indo-Pacific region and was ready to invest billions of dollars in securing its stability.
There are close to 30,000 US troops stationed in South Korea, and their annual drills with tens of thousands of South Korean soldiers have always infuriated the North – with Pyongyang condemning the manoeuvres as provocative rehearsals for invasion.
However following the first summit between Trump and Kim in Singapore in June 2018, the US president said Washington would suspend the "very provocative" joint military exercises with South Korea.
The two leaders also signed a vaguely-worded pledge on denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.
A second meeting held in Vietnam's Hanoi in February broke up early with no progress towards Washington's goal of getting the isolated North to abandon its nuclear weapons program.

Alpesh Chauhan announced as Principal Conductor of Parma's Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini.
Fresh from his BBC Proms debut, young Birmingham-born conductor Alpesh Chauhan has just been announced as Principal Conductor of the Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini in Parma from September 2017.
26-year old Chauhan made his debut with Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini in March 2015, when he stepped in at late notice to conduct two concerts with the orchestra. He was immediately re-invited for the 2015/16 season for performances in January and March, as well as a seven-concert tour this summer. He will join the orchestra for three engagements in the 2016/17 season, before taking up the post of Principal Conductor
Speaking about his appointment, Chauhan commented: "I really enjoy working with the Filarmonica Toscanini and we have already developed a great relationship performing Beethoven's Eroica, Rachmaninov's 2nd Symphony and Brahms's 1st Symphony. Next season, we have three programmes which I have thoroughly enjoyed putting together: a programme of Kodaly's Dances of Galanta, Mozart's D-minor Piano Concerto with Olli Mustonen and Sibelius's 1st Symphony; a Mozart-Stravinsky programme; and a concert of Gubaidulina and Bruckner 9. I am particularly looking forward to building on a broad and varied repertoire with the orchestra, and growing together through these ideas when I take up the post."
Over the last thirty years the Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini has become one of Italy's leading symphony orchestras under the baton of numerous renowned conductors. The Filarmonica has performed in major concert halls throughout the world to much critical acclaim.
Commenting on the news, Luigi Ferrari, General Manager of Arturo Toscanini Foundation, said: "The appointment of Alpesh Chauhan takes place at the end of a season which celebrates 150 years since Arturo Toscanini's birth, and marks another step forward in the artistic and institutional development project that we have pursued for a decade. We strongly believe in investing in a young conductor whose future we expect to be bright, and whose musical skills have captivated audiences and orchestra alike since his first concert at the Auditorium Paganini in Parma. We want to focus on him to give shape to the international dimension of our orchestra, and distinguish ourselves amongst Italian regional orchestras as able to face the great symphonic repertoire."
Ahead of taking up his new position in Parma, Alpesh Chauhan will return to the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra for three concerts as guest conductor later this year, first on October 6th and again on November 30th and December 1st following which he makes his debut with the London Symphony Orchestra on January 26th next year.
