Hamburg, 10th April 2014 – Siem Moxie, the new "Installation Support Vessel" (ISV) of Siem Offshore Inc. (of Kristiansand, Norway) was Christened on the 10th April 2014 in Hamburg.
The Godmother, Kathrin Utermöhlen, wife of E.ON's Head of International Offshore business, Sven Utermöhlen, Christened the Siem Moxie with the traditional German statement: "Ich taufe Dich auf den Namen "Siem Moxie" und wünsche Dir und Deiner Besatzung allzeit gute Fahrt, Glück und immer eine Handbreit Wasser unter dem Kiel." [Translation: "I Christen you Siem Moxie, and wish you and your crew fair sailing, good luck and always a palm-width of water under the keel."]
I Christen you Siem Moxie, and wish you and your crew fair sailing, good luck and always a palm-width of water under the keel."
The Siem Moxie Concept is based on the design of the firm, Ulstein, known as X-BOW®. The design takes inspiration from the Viking long-ships: where the proud bow reduces pitch and/or heave accelerations and speed loss in waves, providing higher transit speed at reduced power consumption. Additionally, the bow shape eliminates 'slamming' and bow impact, thereby reducing noise and vibration. This leads to a more comfortable workplace and more effective rest time for the crew. The Siem Moxie has been conceived as an excellent platform to provide "Walk to Work" (W2W) services, whereby an Active Motion Compensated gangway as well as an innovative "3D" motion compensated crane have been installed to enable the transfer of equipment and personnel to offshore foundations and platforms. Both the Siem Moxie and the crane technology have already received wide-spread industry recognition including the "Renewable Energy" and "Innovation" awards from an international panel of judges in February 2014.
The vessel will initially be utilised to support cable installation activities within offshore wind farms. The personnel to undertake the cable installation, pull-in and termination & testing will be accommodated on board and transferred to their respective work-places through the Siem Moxie. In addition the Siem Moxie is excellently positioned to provide in-field maintenance of both offshore wind farms as well as oil & gas platforms. In this case the maintenance personnel will be accommodated on board and transferred to their respective work-places via the active motion compensated gangway.
We are proud to play our part in improving the efficiency of installation and maintenance of offshore wind farms through the deployment of the Siem Moxie."
"We are proud to play our part in improving the efficiency of installation and maintenance of offshore wind farms through the deployment of the Siem Moxie", said Lars Muck, General Manager of Siem Offshore Contractors, who will be utilising the Siem Moxie in its first outing as an installation support vessel on the inner array grid installation of the offshore wind farm Amrumbank West.
The construction of the Siem Moxie was completed by the Norwegian ship yard Fjellstrand of Omastrand in the Hardangerfjord, the steel hull was supplied by a Turkish yard and then shipped to Norway for outfitting. The transfer of the Siem Moxie took place on the 7th April in Norway, and immediately transited to Hamburg to ensure that the Siem Moxie would arrive punctually at its berth for the Christening ceremony at the Cruise Terminal Hamburg Hafencity.

Lasting First Impressions
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a platforming puzzle adventure game like no other platforming puzzle adventure game available today. I was not expecting to love this game as much as I do now. Starbreeze Studios has crafted a beautiful tale of family, of love, and of bravery in the face of dramatic odds.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons finds players in a co-op story that is played by only a single player. The game begins with the younger of two brothers paying his respects to his dead mother, who drowned while he tried to save her. Soon, he is called home by his older brother to find his father suffering terribly. Instructed by the healer to search for the Tree of Life that can save their father, they set out on an amazing adventure together. On this adventure they encounter many dangers, perils, fantastical creatures such as Trolls, Gryphons and Giants.
Where this game sets itself apart is how the game is controlled. Each of the two brothers is controlled with a single thumbstick for movement and a trigger for performing an action; the older brother on the left thumbstick/trigger and the younger on the right. This control may sound like it could be a tad confusing at times, and it can, but that is what makes this game wonderful. It is an incredible test of ambidexterity that will put both sides of your brain to the test simultaneously. Both brothers need to be controlled independently and at the same time in order to successfully navigate the many dangers and puzzles that this game will throw your way. In one occasion, one brother hangs perilously on a moving chain while the second must run through the level and pull levers that will prevent his sibling from falling to certain doom. This may sound fairly easy, but wait until you have to keep track of them both at the same time and press the thumbsticks and triggers at just the right moments. I found it often difficult to remember which thumbstick controlled which brother. Regardless, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is incredibly satisfying.
This game was originally released during the Summer of Arcade promotion on Xbox 360 and is now available for PS3 as a PSN download. The brilliance of this game is why it absolutely deserved to be a part of Xbox's Summer of Arcade this year. Once I started playing this game, I really never wanted to stop. The adventure and the story is simply beautiful; the artwork is stunning; the puzzles are challenging enough to not be frustrating and the controls are incredibly unique. At the end of the day, it's not the puzzles that make the game brilliant but the execution of how the player must work the two brothers together simultaneously. Everything about Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is absolutely wonderful. You really owe it to yourself to experience this game.
Starbreeze Studios, I gave you an hour and I am IMPRESSED.

During years of conflict in Congo, many children were abandoned by their parents and forced to live on the streets. Today, some of them have a brighter future, thanks to United Methodist young people in Kivu, who have used their own funds to launch the Kivu Youth Peace Club.
Louis Didjango Wanya, president of United Methodist Youth in Kivu, said the goal of the project is to bring children and young adults off the streets and help integrate them into society and Christian life.
With the collaboration of the Church of Christ in the Congo of North Kivu, the young people received special training for their program. They gathered the necessary tools to teach those on the street a trade: styling hair for men and women.
The young adults also taught the street children "how to live in peace," said Claver Kahasa, president of the youth of the Church of Christ in Congo in North Kivu.
The peace initiative offers the young people alternatives to begging and stealing. Wanya said the program would help many street children in and around Goma.
"By introducing them to small jobs, (they can) finally forget about their past life," he said.
Since the initiative began, the group has worked with 58 young people ages 16 to 19 — 40 men and 18 women — said Jolie Shabani, a young adult from The United Methodist Church in Goma.
The training lasts one month. The teenagers also learn about the Bible and some have joined The United Methodist Church as part of the evangelization campaign.
Once a street child in Goma, Thierry Muhindo, 17, is now a hairdresser.
"The United Methodist Church, via the youth department, has given me a hope of life. … It is a charitable act that I will never forget."
Muhindo said without the Peace Club's help he would likely have ended up a thief.
Louise Kashere, 17, was abandoned four years ago by her parents in Walikale and was raped while living on the street. Today, she looks forward to the future, she said, because, "I have just found an occupation in this Kivu Youth Peace Club."
Thanks to the program, Kashere is no longer homeless. She said she will continue to pray in The United Methodist Church of Goma in the intercession ministry.
Wanya encouraged any person of goodwill to help the young people of Kivu and expressed hope that the hairdressing initiative could expand to other vocations.
Bishop Gabriel Yemba Unda, Eastern Congo Episcopal Area, said he would lobby for integrating the youth into society because doing so is critical to the church's future.
The youth group plans to expand the program to other regions, including Rurtshuru, Uvira, Fizi and Bunyakiri.
"We will continue to mentor young people," said Germain Mupasa, who initiated the Peace Club.

The problem of backscatter, part 18 - Wrapping it up
Backscatter spam is annoying. It's tough to filter because the contents of it can fool content filters and can also fool end users.
Indeed, if your content filter could recognize an NDR and ignore the parts that typically occur in NDRs, you could then filter the rest of the message normally and make the spam/not-spam classification that way.
When it comes to NDRs and Delivery Status Notifications, probably the key thing to remember is to treat them as a subclass of actual email. It's not marketing, it's not business mail, it's not a personal communication, it's simply a notification that mail that you sent did not get delivered the way you expected.
We've seen a number of ways to filter the mail, some better than others. Ultimately, what it comes down to is treating bounce messages differently than regular inbound mail and making decisions based upon that special categorization of email. The rules of normal inbound filtering are modified because it's simply a better way to evaluate it.

Do you or your parents take shortcuts when you walk or drive somewhere? Ships like shortcuts too, especially when they save hundreds of miles! Learn about this big liquid elevator and how it works!
This watery elevator used more than 60 million pounds of dynamite in its construction. Take a look at this short clip!
Panama Canal Time Lapse – Full Transit Travel From the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic from Trans-Americas Journey:
What is the Panama Canal?
The Panama Canal is a large canal, or waterway, in the Isthmus of Panama, that allows ships to pass between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Take a look at the map below to view the location of the canal:
The canal was built by the United States of America and was officially opened on August 15, 1914. Before the Panama Canal was constructed, ships had a much longer journey traveling around Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America. How much longer? The trip from the east coast to the west coast of the United States by way of Cape Horn was about 8,000 nautical miles longer!
How does the Panama Canal work?
The canal uses a system of locks that function as water lifts, raising ships from sea level to the level of Gatun Lake, which is approximately 26 meters above sea level. To pass through the canal, ships must pay a toll that is based on their cargo space.
Take a look at the following Panama Canal-produced video to learn how the Panama Canal works. As you view How Does the Panama Canal Work?, pay close attention to how the ships pass through the canal. When you have watched the video, discuss with your parent or teacher the following questions:
Note the time it takes a ship to move through the canal, and the number of ships that have passed through the canal:
Now that you have looked at how the canal works, do you think it should be listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World? The Seven Wonders of the Modern World is a list of structures that are identified for their extraordinary design.
Share your thoughts with your parent or teacher, then continue to the Got It? section to complete a brief quiz about the Panama Canal.
We help prepare learners for a future that cannot yet be defined. They must be ready for change, willing to learn and able to think critically. Elephango is designed to create lifelong learners who are ready for that rapidly changing future.

We need to work on getting something together.
7 Replies
I wouldn't be opposed. A little background on myself: I got my certs after college back in 2000-2001 and then the program that I went through (Microsoft Official Curriculum via IKON) kind of fell apart. Their job placement program never materialized so I got an unpaid internship as a Junior Network Admin with the I.T. Factory (Outlook and Exchange solutions). If you recall it was about the same time the bottom fell out of the IT Industry (dotCOM bust.) So for the past 15 or so years I have been chasing Blue Marlin all over this side of the world as a Captain and Mate on sportfishing boats. During that period I have tried to keep up with the tech industry when time allowed.
Now my home lab has gotten to be the size of that of a larger SMB and I'm in the beginning stages of my own "networking campaign" of sorts to see if there is a place for me in the industry once again. Joining this forum was one of the avenues I was going to venture down.
So lets keep in touch and see what we can muster up...?
Cal Thompson
Ha! Well, I know a guy...:)
FYI- the Striper (bass) bite is about to go off on Lake Murray- in that it is an excellent venue to provide someone who is "on the fence about bigger water/bigger fish" the opportunity to witness a pretty magnificent spectacle and also get up to speed with angling skills and safety standards in a much more "controlled" atmosphere.
So again, lets keep in touch on both points then, I reckon...

The China property market has taken off, with prices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou rising by as much as 40 per cent during the course of 1992: primarily due to increasing business activity from foreign and domestic enterprises.
A substantial increase in the registration of joint venture companies and foreign representative offices had taken place, resulting in a rising demand for good quality commercial and residential premises.
Of significant importance is the fact that domestic companies are now both willing and able to take up space in international standard developments, thus creating a new source of demand. Domestic demand will further fuel the growth. of the real estate industry in China.
A number of factors contribute to regional price variations in China:
* There is a greater supply of properties for sale in southern China than in the north or central areas.
* Limited supply of properties for sale in Beijing and Shanghai have led to an active rental market.
* The south China cities are more open to international practices influenced by Hong Kong but the northern cities are more conservative.
* Market segmentation differs in the north and south. Major demand in Beijing and Shanghai comes from western and Japanese multinational companies, mostly in the rental market. But in south China, small to medium size trading and manufacturing concerns from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan are keen to purchase properties as owner occupier.
It is expected that overall demand in the major cities will increase in line with continuing economic growth. Investors however should exercise caution in the smaller cities specifically along the Pearl River Delta, where over supply as taken place with the exception of retail premises.
The control and management of land lease continues to face problems arising out of conflicts of interest between central and provincial government organisations in the process of real estate development. The provincial government prefers immediate income from development while the central government has the development and planning of the entire country in mind.
As the open door policy is put into practice, central government planning has given way to the open market mechanism of supply and demand, especially in south China. Local real estate investors and developers are learning to plan new developments using feasibility studies, including profit projections. In the same vein, individual investors seek the advice of professional agencies before making any property purchase.
The Chinese government has taken positive steps to further improve the growth of the property market in the country. Healthy dialogue between professional bodies and societies in the property industry in Hong Kong and the hinese government has helped to move the mark forward but legalised property management regulations and the establishment of secondary market operation to facilitate the transfer and re-sale of properties is still to be established.
For international investors looking for opportunities in China, Colliers Jardine recommend that purchases be made with reputable developers and agencies to ensure adequate legal protection, good quality building work and high management standards upon completion.
While the China property market is still very much in its infancy stage, Colliers Jardine believes that this will be one of the most active and exciting markets by the end of the century.
The major concern of the moment, however, is that the government must take a more decisive and organised approach in the upgrading of the infrastructure and community facilities to support the growth of the industry. *
William Wong is manager of China operations for Colliers Jardine, international properties consultants in China, active in the management, sales and leasing of developments in the coastal cities.

Location Bradford, West Yorkshire
Project Value £3.3M
This project was for the conversion / refurbishment of an existing hospital building from consulting and office space into a Complex care unit with 12 bedrooms and an Organic ward for dementia sufferers, comprising of 22 en suite bedrooms.
Finishes to the first floor were particular to the requirements of the service users, with great care taken on leaving no ligature risks, and producing a space that is robust and vandal resistant, whilst as homelike as possible.
Finishes to the ground floor have the emphasis on creating a space that is as domestic as possible in the given environment.
Safe outdoor spaces have been created in courtyards for both wards. Solar PV panels have been fitted to the roof.
On this project we were working in a particularly challenging live hospital environment due to the nature of the service users. Access and egress was a logistical problem which needed overcoming, this was achieved by close interface with the hospital & project management team. The project was also in close proximity to a children's day care nursery, therefore traffic management was of paramount consideration.

Congressman Richard Hudson on DisposeRx, an effective site-of-use method for drug disposal addressed in his recently passed bipartisan bill, the Securing Opioids and Unused Narcotics with Deliberate (SOUND) Disposal and Packaging Act (H.R. 5687), 342-13~
"I've become aware there's some great ideas out there. There's one product DisposeRx . . . they're based in my district. They've come up with this powder, that you can put in the bottle with the pills, add water, shake it up, and you got a biodegradable gel that you can't cook the drugs out of. That's a product, now a number of our retail chains are distributing for free with opioids. So, that's a great solution. I think the key is it's got to be something that's easy for the consumer to do from their home."
Congressman Richard Hudson addresses his colleagues on the House floor: Thank you Mr. Chairman, thank you Mr. Speaker For the time. In 2018, more than two million Americans will suffer from addiction to prescription or illicit opioids.
Brian Wilson: Richard Hudson is serving his third term in the United States Congress, representing North Carolina's eighth congressional district. On Capitol Hill, Hudson serves on the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, a position he uses to focus on reforming healthcare. In particular, Congressman Hudson is working to address the opioid crisis, in a comprehensive way. It's something he believes that legislators on both sides of the aisle can agree upon.
Congressman Richard Hudson: Opioid addiction continues to take lives every day, more than 100 Americans. Touches every fabric of our society, doesn't matter where you live, how much money you make, what your personal circumstances are. We're all susceptible to this. We all know someone who's been affected. This is something that we all need to be focused on. I'm a member of the Energy and Commerce Health subcommittee. We write the healthcare laws for the country and I'm in a position to do something about it. I've been working for a number of years with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, to try to tackle this epidemic.
Brian Wilson: They say that politics is the art of the possible. What has been possible in this arena?
Bipartisan Initiatives Address the Opioids Crisis
Congressman Richard Hudson: Well, it's been remarkable frankly Brian, how again Republicans and Democrats have come together and made some real significant progress in tackling this issue. It's not one that was created overnight, and it's not one that we can solve overnight. There's no silver bullet. This requires education, parents, teachers and law enforcement and healthcare professionals. This requires prevention. It requires us to stop the flow of these drugs, it requires us to make sure that we don't have as many of these pills floating around in our society, and these parents need to understand the dangers of having opioids in their household, they need to know warning signs to look for. It also has to do with treatment and recovery and how are we helping folks beat the addictions, and get back into society. It's a full gamut of solutions needed, and it's a whole lot of money.
Frankly, Congress has stepped up and we've appropriated a billion dollars last Congress. This Congress we appropriated $4 billion in the omnibus earlier this year, and 6.7 billion just this week, in our Department of Defense, Labor, HHS appropriations package. We're working together and we're putting real money towards this problem.
Brian Wilson: We hear all the time that, you know, it's so partisan. The things aren't getting accomplished. But actually, if there was a real need Democrats and Republicans still can come together on occasion can't they?
Congressman Richard Hudson: Well, we can Brian. I once had a reporter tell me, "Congressman, we don't write stories about airplanes landing." Think about that for a minute. Only the planes crashes make the news. I think that's the case in Congress. In most of the work we do is bipartisan. We have hundreds of bills that have passed the House unanimously, and so, of Richard Hudson and Nancy Pelosi can agree on something, I think that's a pretty good compromise. Unfortunately, a lot of them are log-jammed over in the Senate, but this is one where even the Senate Republicans and Democrats, came together and we've been able to make some real progress.
Brian Wilson: A couple of things we've been focusing on is the role of pharmacists in all of this. Do you have any thoughts about that and the importance of empowering them to be involved in the process?
Pharmacists Role Important in Tackling Opioid Epidemic
Congressman Richard Hudson: Well, that's huge. That's a huge piece of this because the pharmacist know their patients, especially in rural communities, and patients trust their pharmacists, and pharmacists have a lot of information that we need potentially have access to. We can track prescriptions and know people are trying to doctor shop. You get this case where someone will have five different doctors, they're all prescribing a legitimate amount of opioids each, but to combine it and that's something that working with pharmacists, we can identify and tackle that issue. But also, just providing information to people and educating consumers, parents about what they need to be watching for, about the fact that all of us, me included, have had opioids sitting in our medicine cabinet for years. Our pharmacists can play a really big role in educating people about how dangerous that is.
Brian Wilson: That's exactly what sort of we're all about here. And that is the fact that, you have these opioids, they're leftover, people aren't real good about throwing away thinking, "Oh, maybe someday I'll need that pain pill for something." They keep them. But yet, when they're in the medicine cabinet, they can be diverted and misused. It is an education process, trying to teach people how to make sure they don't allow that situation to happen. A dangerous situation right in their own medicine cabinet.
"70% of Heroin Addicts Started with an Opioid, Out of a Medicine Cabinet"
Congressman Richard Hudson: Absolutely. Studies show Brian that 70% of heroin addicts started with an opioid, out of a medicine cabinet. You combine that with statistics that show 92% of us who get an opioid prescription, don't use the whole thing. So, there's a whole lot of pills sitting around in the medicine cabinets. I had a woman I was talking to just a few months ago in my district who said, she's moved three times in the last five years, and every time, she packs up her opioids out of the medicine cabinet, moves it to the new home and puts it the medicine cabinet there. You also hear … I've heard from two different realtors who told me that they have folks coming to open houses posing as potential buyers and raiding medicine cabinets.
You hear stories of students who … if a student gets hurt in a sports accident, the next day when he shows up a school, fellow classmates say, "Alright. What'd they give you? Spread it around." It is a real problem. This oversupply, the pills they are out there floating around. That's why, my focus has been on how do we tackle this oversupply issue. How do we look for better ways of disposing of these opioids? Even in my own personal life, when I first started working on this issue two, three years ago, I looked at my own medicine cabinet, I said, "Sure enough, I've got opioids here. What do I do with them?" I took him to the drugstore and they said, "We can't accept those." Even me United States Congressman, couldn't figure out what to do with my opioids. How do I get rid of these? Since then, I think through education and through new technologies and inventions, we've come up with ways to dispose of it. A lot of our drugstores now, our pharmacist are stepping up and taking these opioids and disposing them for us. But we still need, we've got a long way to go to the point where every American has an easy way to dispose of those opioids.
Brian Wilson: Well, and that is sort of a concern because a lot of people say, "Well, I'll just flush it down the toilet," not the right answer.
DisposeRx "easy for the consumer to do from their home."
Congressman Richard Hudson: No, because if we all flushed them down the toilet, then they're all going to end up in our watersheds and what's the impact there. When I first started looking at this, I went to the DEA website to see what their advice was and one of their great ideas was put kitty litter in the bottle with the pills before you throw it away, because surely an addict is not going to dare take pills out of kitty litter. Well, they obviously haven't met any addicts because that's just a dumb idea. I've become aware there's some great ideas out there. There's one product DisposeRx out of . . . they're based in my district. They've come up with this powder, that you can put in the bottle with the pills, add water, shake it up, and you got a biodegradable gel that you can't cook the drugs out of. That's a product, now a number of our retail chains are distributing for free with opioids. So, that's a great solution. I think the key is it's got to be something that's easy for the consumer to do from their home. But I think ideas like that is where we need to go.
Announcer: You're listening to Opioids: Hidden Dangers, New Hope. More, when we return.
[Begin Commercial] Three years ago, you fell down the stairs and ended up with a fractured ankle. OxyContin 10mg. Sometimes you need something to help you sleep, and even though they're expired they still work. Ambien 5 mg. Last summer you finally broke down and had your wisdom teeth extracted. Percocet 2.5 mg
You never threw them out, so they sit inside your medicine cabinet posing a risk to you, those around you and anyone who enters your home. Today going through medicine cabinets searching for drugs is done by people of all ages and backgrounds. In fact, over 70% of new opioid addictions begin in a home medicine cabinet. If storing unused and expired medications puts people at risk of accidental poisoning, addiction and death., why have them there at all?
We invite you to join the growing number of Americans who have pledged to clean out their medicine cabinets with DisposeRx. Simple and safe, DisposeRx is an environmentally friendly and immediate at home drug disposal solution. No more waiting for a take back event or driving to a kiosk.

Congressman Richard Hudson addresses his colleagues on the House floor: As I've traveled across my district, I've seen firsthand the devastating effect these drugs can have them families, friends and loved ones. There is no barrier for these drugs, they strike at every level of society and across every geographic region. It touches all of us. In North Carolina, we have four of the top 25 worst cities for opioid abuse in the country. This truly is the crisis next door. I'm proud of the collective effort the House of Representatives has undertaken in a bipartisan way, to address this epidemic.
Brian Wilson: Is there a personal reason why this is so important to you?
Congressman Richard Hudson is in a Position to Help Constituents Affected by the Opioid Crisis
Congressman Richard Hudson: I don't really have a personal story of someone in my family per se. This is just something that's there talking to my constituents. I've heard heartbreaking story after heartbreaking story, of people who've lost loved ones. It's just become very personal to me, because I've had so many folks that I represent who have been affected. And being on the Committee of Jurisdiction, I'm in a position to do something about it. That's why I'm so determined to do it.
Brian Wilson: All right. As we wrap up here, let me just ask you what do you think is the most important thing, that people listening to this podcast should know about how Congress is working to tackle this problem?
Bipartisanship and Education are Key to Combat Opioid Epidemic
Congressman Richard Hudson: Well, first of all, we're working together both sides of the aisle, and we recognize this as a crisis, and we're looking at it in a comprehensive way. We just passed HR 6 which combined some 30 or 40 pieces of legislation, that tackles everything from treatment, recovery, prevention, protecting our communities and fighting this fentanyl that's coming in illegally. We are addressing this in a comprehensive, way and we're putting real money behind it. Just this year 2018, we've appropriated almost $11 billion towards this issue. The President has declared a national medical emergency. We are all focused on getting the resources to our community that we need, to combat this issue. And it's really important that every person out there listening, educates themselves on the dangers of having opioids floating around, and making sure that we're being responsible.
Brian Wilson: Well, Congressman, thank you so much for joining us. And thank you for the work that you've been doing on this.
Congressman Richard Hudson: Great, Brian. Appreciate you highlighting this really important issue.

This premium, lightweight GPS multi-sport watch provides advanced statistics for your running, swimming and cycling activities, all while out-pacing the competition on reliability.
"One might think that bulky watches are more accurate, but from my testing, the PACE is within 1% accuracy of certified course[s]…"
– Dominic Grossman, Pro Ultra-Runner
"Simply put, the Coros Pace Multisport is the long-lasting, simple GPS watch I didn't know I was missing. Functional and practical, with built-in barometer and heart rate monitor, it delivers any running metric I'll ever need right there on my wrist."
– Derek Call, Runner's World

– Eamon Hughes, Ultra-Runner
Whether you're competing in a triathlon, running a marathon, or freestyle swimming, you should never have to worry about your athletic performance.
That's why we engineered the COROS PACE to help take your fitness goals, one step further.
Not so often do you see a combination of lightweight plus a long lasting battery life, the PACE has both. With an innovative CPU system engineered for power optimization, the PACE will perform up to 30 days in standard mode and up to 25 hours in GPS mode.
This lightweight design is the result of our ongoing passion for better technology.
The PACE features a built-in heart rate monitor that records while swimming, cycling and running. With the COROS App, you can fully customize your zone training by adjusting both your reserve and max heart rate. Along with providing post-training stats, the watch will process this information to provide your calories burned and intensity minutes.
With data metrics such as cadence, stride length, pace, stroke rate, and SWOLF – our unique algorithms will accurately measure your technique. Giving you the tools you need to perform the best you can possibly be.
Every part of the watch matters. Coros picked the best material to build the watch strap which aids the heart rate sensor to provide accurate readings. Available in three different colors, you can select the band of your choice that best fits your personality.
GPS, GLONASS and BDS satellites will work together to quickly locate your position and adjust altitude, even through interference outdoors. It ensures that wherever you are, you can rely on the watch to precisely know your location.
COROS UltraSync Technology cuts your average mobile app sync time in half after your workout. So long are the days you have to spend minutes holding your phone, waiting for the data to upload.
Have a desire to use different sensors? With full ANT+ connectivity, you can connect ANT+ compatible devices such as a chest strap heart rate monitor, speed and cadence sensors, or a power meter to use with the Indoor Cycling activity.
Estimate Running Distance And Track When GPS Is Weak Or Lost
Introducing COROS' very own, Intelligent Stride Algorithm. This unique algorithm embodies machine learning at its core to record your personal range of motion while running. This will build your very own stride model that will be used for indoor running or areas of weak GPS signal (such as tunnels).
COROS products are manufactured to the highest quality standards possible. However, on the rare occurrence should one suffer quality issues, COROS Watches all include a 2 year warranty from the purchase date. Accessories are covered by a 90 day warranty.
Should you have an issue with your product resulting from a manufacturing defect, COROS will help replace your product or remedy your issue.

Bruce Parry's TAWAI: A Voice from the Forest previewing from 22nd September
TAWAI: A Voice From The Forest, the ground-breaking new film from BAFTA Award winning presenter and explorer Bruce Parry, is an investigation that takes you from tribal communities in the forests of Borneo and the Amazon, to the Saddhu of India on the Ganges, to the Isle of Skye.

DEBERRY, TEXAS. DeBerry is at the junction of U.S. Highway 79 and Farm roads 31 and 1794, fourteen miles northeast of Carthage in northeastern Panola County. A community, known as Evergreen, formed there before the Civil War, after which the name of the town was changed to DeBerry, for Alfred Wesley De Berry, a prominent local citizen and legislator. A post office opened in 1874, and by 1885 the community had a steam gristmill, two churches, three schools, eight general stores, and an estimated population of 150. Its population reached 300 by the early 1890s but dropped to fifty by 1914. In the 1920s oil was discovered in the area, and DeBerry enjoyed a brief boom. By 1929 its population reached 250. In the mid-1930s the community had a church, two schools, a post office, and eight rated businesses; in 1936 the reported population was 233. After World War II the DeBerry schools were consolidated with those of Carthage. In 1990 DeBerry was a prosperous rural community with 191 inhabitants and eight businesses. In 2000 the population remained the same while the number of businesses grew to thirty.

ABC made the announcement earlier today. From ABC News:
The saga is over.
Rosie O'Donnell will not be returning to "The View."
In a statement today, Brian Frons, the president of Disney-ABC's Daytime Television Group, said, "We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave. Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to 'The View' and wish her well."
I guess Elisabeth Hasselbeck's finally standing up to Rosie and telling her to stick it was just too much for her.

Laptop repairs - Laptop Battery - Prevention is better than the cure
Laptop and batteries are like people, eventually and inevitably, they die. Battery technology can be expected to improve a bit over time (there's plenty of financial incentive for more compact and longer lasting batteries), however, while interesting concepts and possibilities may pop up, don't expect major battery breakthroughs in the near future.
Although your battery will eventually die, proper care of it and your laptop use can put off the inevitable. Here's how to keep your laptop battery working for as long as possible. With luck, it may well last until you need to replace that ageing laptop
I've also included a few tips on keeping the battery going longer between charges, so you can work longer without AC power.
Don't Run your Battery Down to Empty
Despite what our battery monitor shows, many laptops probably will not allow you to set the critical battery level at 0%, you also shouldn't try to do this.
wringing every drop of juice out of a lithium-ion battery (the type used in today's laptops) strains and weakens the battery. letting this happen once or twice won't kill the battery, but the the long term effect of frequently emptying your battery will reduce its lifespan.

(As is usual, there is actually an exception to this rule, there are a circumstances where you should run down the battery all the way.)
Most modern laptops are designed to shut down before the battery is empty anyhow.

Vista and Windows 7 come with a setting for just this. If you have one of these operating systems, to see it, click Start, type power, and then select "Power Options". Select any one of the "Change plan" settings, select the "Change advanced power" settings link. In the dialogue box, scroll down to and expand the "Battery option". Then expand Critical battery level. The setting will more than likely be set about 5 percent, which is a good place to leave it.
XP has no such default setting, although your laptop may have a third party supplied tool that does the same job.
Keep your battery Cool
Heat can damage the battery, and can dramatically reduces its overall life.
When using your laptop, ensure the air vents are not blocked. Never work with the laptop on pillows or cushions. If possible, place it on a raised stand that will allow for plenty of unrestricted airflow.
Clean the air vents vents every so often with a can of compressed air. You can buy this at the Connect IT shop. Follow the directions on the can, do this only when the notebook is off or in hibernation mode.
Give your battery a Rest
If you're going to be working exclusively on mains power for a week or more, it is a good idea to remove the battery first. Otherwise, you'll be wearing out the battery, constantly charging and discharging it, during a period when you don't need to use it at all.
If you are experiencing reduced life on your laptop computer, bring it into us to get our expert opinion on the matter, if required we can supply you with a new battery.

Arizona's Politics has been following (most recent article) the slow-moving lawsuit filed by Joe Arpaio supporters to throw out the recall petition effort against the Maricopa County Sheriff. The anti-recall Citizens To Protect Fair Election Results ("CPFER") has until tomorrow afternoon to file a response to the motion to dismiss the case and sanction the plaintiffs, filed by the group organizing the recall, Respect Arizona ("RA"). Also, CPFER has filed a motion for a declaratory judgment and preliminary injunction.
It is very possible that the Superior Court Judge will set an expedited hearing on RA's motions for next week, after CPFER's response - the Court had extended the deadline to respond upon CPFER's request. A hearing will likely NOT be set on the preliminary injunction until plaintiff's completely follow the rules - they did not file the required affidavit and there is no accompanying motion asking for an expedited hearing. (The declaratory judgment should have been part of the relief sought in the complaint.)
Here is the plaintiffs' new motion:

Page 64 - A Visit with Frank & Margaret MacRae
AVisit with Frank & Margaret MacRae Frank MacRae, North River Bridge: There was a fellow, once upon a time, they were living in a camp way out in the woods, And it was rainy that night. They were out hunting, but the fellow went to the camp. And he had two.dogs; they were big dogs. I heard my father telling the story to my? self, and it was so interesting. There was no television those years or anything else, and it was so interesting to hear him tell? ing stories. An57way, a hen came to the door, a small hen. And it was raining and raining. So when he happened to open the door, the hen came in. And the hen stood alongside of the fire--he had the fire there. And once in awhile she would shake herself up. Then the hen started to get big. Getting bigger all the time. Then the two dogs started barking. Then the hen turned around and she talked to him, and she said that she was scared of the dogs. Oh my heavens, scared of the dogs, yeah. She had some twine. And she said, "If you tie your two dogs with this twine, I won't do anything." And sure enough, the old fellow turned a- round and tied his two dogs, you know, on the string she gave him., a cord. Oh God, the hen started to get bigger and bigger and bigger. And the dogs started to growl and growl and growl. God, the old fellow was scared. Then she was going to jump on him. Then she turned around and told them, whatever cord she gave them, to cut their necks off. And she got bigger and bigger--oh, Lord save us! Then they took off, you know. The hen took off. And the old fellow got the dogs, (cut the rope) to let them go and run after that dam hen. And they found out that it was somebody that--I forget how to put it in English. When he went home the next day they told him, his wife and the rest of them (told him), that the old lady out here, a neigh? bour's wife, that she'd come home last night all torn up with dogs. (When you first hear a story like that--) Oh, you're only a small boy. Yes, maybe ' or 6. And you could listen to those stor? ies night after night. Oh yes, it was my father that was telling me these stories. And maybe my sisters too, you know, along? side of me. We were all listening. When I'd take an interest in a story, I'd gener? ally be picking it up, and I'd keep it, you know. (And if you'd hear the story a second time or another day, would you still be interested in it?) Yes, certainly. I remember, too, we had a fellow by the name of Kenny MacLeod over here. And we were at a sawmill. And a bunch of us go? ing- -maybe 10 to 12 men--cutting firewood (blocking it up to stove length) with a machine. And this Kenny MacLeod, he had Gaelic and he could read Gaelic. And after dinner, everybody'd flop on the floor down (63)

Upcoming Book EventsPosted: March 29, 2013 Filed under: Closer To The Ground | Tags: Book events, Book readings, Fox Sportsnet, Kitsap Regional Libraries, Outdoor GPS, TV Interview Leave a comment
Just a little heads up for some regional appearances in the near future:
Thursday, April 4th, I will be on the Fox SportsNet show "Outdoor GPS" for an interview about Closer to the Ground. If you haven't seen this program, it's a great regional outdoor program shot live in Portland. But I think it's available on most cable providers throughout the Northwest.
Saturday, April 6th, I will be at the Poulsbo Library at 2:00pm, and on Monday, April 8th at the Silverdale Library, 6:00pm, to talk about and read from Closer to the Ground. Since the book takes place here, I really want to reach out to our fellow Kitsap County locals. If you have time, please come by and join in the discussion.
That's it for now, but we'll be at most of the Kitsap Regional Libraries at some point in April. I have the full schedule posted on the website at http://www.dylantomine.com, and will try to post reminders here as we go.
Thanks, and I look forward to meeting you in person at the upcoming events. Hope you are all well.

Drug discovery for neglected tropical diseases: a new approach to screening
I discuss our recent publication, in which our team employ a novel screening method to identify a potential treatment candidate for African Sleeping Sickness.
Drug discovery for neglected tropical diseases must use efficient methods due to limited resources. One preferred drug discovery strategy is target-based drug discovery. In this strategy it is assumed that drug action begins with binding of a drug to its target. However, while binding is required, it is not sufficient to describe all the molecular interactions that translate binding to a therapeutically useful pharmacological response. Aspects of a medicine's molecular mechanism of action (MMOA) such as time-dependence and substrate competition will influence concentration response relationships and the therapeutic index.
To efficiently identify these properties, a four point MMOA methodology was developed and used to characterize inhibitors of Trypanosoma brucei GSK3β inhibitors.T brucei is the parasite responsible for human African trypanosomiasis (also known as African sleeping sickness).Using this method our team identified tideglusib to have a time-dependent, ATP-competitive mechanism that differentiated it from rapidly reversible inhibitors, such as GW8510.
This approach allows for efficient profiling of hits identified in HTS screens for their molecular mechanisms.We employ this strategy at the non-profit Institute for Rare and Neglected Diseases Drug Discovery (www.irnd3.org) to identify new leads and MMOAs for rare and neglected diseases.

Long before Warner Bros.' highly-anticipated Blade Runner 2049 ever started production, most fans assumed that Harrison Ford would return in some capacity as Rick Deckard, with a whole new cast put in place around him, including Ryan Gosling. Today we have word that there is at least one more original Blade Runner star returning for Blade Runner 2049, Edward James Olmos, who is reprising his role as Gaff in the sequel. The actor confirmed his casting in a new interview, and gave the first details about how he fits into the story.
The actor confirmed the news during an interview on The Trend Talk Show, after one of the co-hosts read about his return as Gaff in one of the trade publications a month ago. The host had previously run into him, but he flat-out denied being in the Blade Runner sequel at the time, revealing in this interview that he will in fact be back. Here's what he had to say about why he couldn't talk about his return then.
"I signed a seven page non-disclosure contract. I did, my manager did, my agent did, everybody did. I couldn't talk about it. I couldn't talk to anybody about it. Guess what? This is the first time that I'm telling the whole world, that yes, I am going to be Gaff in Blade Runner 2049."
In the original Blade Runner, Gaff was a longtime Blade Runner who interacts with Harrison Ford's Rick Deckard through an intricate form of communication known in the movie as "Cityspeak," a language which was essentially invented by the actor, with parts of it spoken in Hungarian. While he wouldn't say much about how Gaff fits into the story, this character seems to shed light on how the Blade Runners operated during the original movie, although he has a much smaller role in this sequel. Here's what the actor had to say.
"Well, it's not about Gaff, but it's about someone who is going to try to find out certain things about us back then. They come to me, I'm now retired. I don't want to ruin the story for anyone but my role is like it was in the original, that time I only had four scenes, in this I only have one. But again, it's a poignant little piece of work that I'm very grateful for."
It was also mentioned in this interview that this original sci-fi classic was very "forward-thinking" since it doesn't address race in the same way we do now. When asked about that notion, Edward James Olmos went on to praise original Blade Runner director Ridley Scott for letting him bring a "cultural dynamic" to the movie. Here's what he had to say below.
"We were very lucky that Ridley Scott is a very secure artist, within himself. I brought that to the piece, I brought the cultural dynamic to it. I spoke 10 different languages, I was a mixture of different cultures, and it was really amazing that he allowed me to do it, because I didn't even speak in English, really."
Now that we know Gaff will make his return in Blade Runner 2049, it remains to be seen if there are other cameos from original Blade Runner stars in this sequel. Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling lead a diverse cast that also includes Robin Wright, Dave Bautista, Ana de Armas, Carla Juri and Mackenzie Davis. Take a look at the video below, with the Blade Runner 2049 talk coming at approximately the 19-minute mark.

Happy Friday friends! Even with working from home and taking time off with Shiloh, there's still something so happy + freeing about Fridays. They're just the best! With Thanksgiving behind us and December is full swing, I wanted to talk about one of my favorite Christmas traditions: Christmas cards! Y'all, I LOVE them! I love receiving them, putting them on display or in a basket somewhere in our house, and of course, I was so excited to have ours made this year with our precious new addition! Is anyone else as obsessed with sending/received Christmas cards as I am?!
As much as I absolutely love them, the process of getting them shot/made can always be a little overwhelming. From figuring out outfits to finding the time to shoot to ordering + addressing, it can easily become another stressful holiday activity. This year though, it was literally a stress-free process and I am SO thankful! As I've shared on instagram stories and on the blog, there's obviously been a huge adjustment to having Shiloh and figuring out the whole 'working mom' balance. If there's one thing I don't have much of at all right now, it's downtime. At one point I thought "okay maybe the Christmas cards won't happen this year, it's too much work, etc". But then as I started research and look into getting them made, I was SO excited when I saw that Walmart can make Christmas cards! This was my first year making our cards through Walmart and I honestly only have positive things to say about our experience.
As you can see here, Walmart truly has so much variety when it comes to card options. You can choose from a wide assortment of templates. Whether you're looking for more of a minimalist look or something super festive, they seriously have it all. I love how ours turned out but I literally think I could have designed like 10 different versions haha! It was so hard to choose! But ultimately I loved the subtle glitter detail on this one. I also have to say that they have so many reasonably priced options, which is especially nice during this time of year slash if you're like me and want to send a card to everyone!
Once we had our photos done, the entire designing/ordering process was super simple and efficient. I could get it all done while Shiloh was napping! I also loved that they shipped so quickly after I ordered them. So if you're a last minute person, you can rest easy knowing the shipping is nice and fast! There's still time to get your order in and have your cards in plenty of time for Christmas. IF you order by the 14th, your cards will arrive before Christmas. Plus, Walmart also offers free shipping on anything over $35 or you can choose to pick it up in store.
I am so happy with how our card turned out and I know I'll love looking back at our first Christmas card with Shiloh. The quality is incredible and it really turned out exactly as I hoped. Holiday cards are something I look forward to every year. It's such a sweet way to stay connected with family and loved ones, and I love seeing all the adorable photos every year! It is easily one of my favorite Christmas traditions.
Do y'all have any favorite Christmas traditions? Let me know in the comments below!
This post was created in collaboration with Walmart. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own!
