Production of Recombinant Enzymatic Mixture by Co-culture Strategy
Sugarcane bagasse is considered to be a residue with great potential as feedstock for second-generation ethanol production, and other added-value products. However, certain obstacles must be overcome to make this technology viable, as in the case of enzymatic route in which the high cost of enzymes production, and the low efficiency in the saccharification step still represent a bottleneck. Recently, recombinant enzymes have been used as supplement fungal cocktails to improve lignocellulosic biomass saccharification, as well as to assembly specific enzymatic mixtures aiming at other applications. In this study, we present the development of recombinant enzymatic mixture production process based on co-culture strategy. The process development includes the inoculum assembly, screening of alternative carbon sources, and improve of induction phase. Escherichia coli clones co-culture present as main advantages: the possibility to produce an enzymatic mixture with a desired composition based on inoculum assembling, the use of low cost carbon source as hemicellulosic hydrolysates based on complete metabolic machinery of E. coli, and reduction of the production process and recovery costs since more than one enzyme is produced in the same reactor.

|Version 3 (modified by 4 years ago) (diff),
You require the following software:
- The IFS DDK Build Environment.
- IBM VisualAge? for C version 3.
- OS/2 Toolkit 4.5 (included with OS/2 ACP/MCPs and eCS).
- IBM DDK sources and tools (no longer available at IBM's DDK site).
- The System utilities (including link.exe).
- FAT32 source code.
To get a build going, you'll need several things;
You should have VisualAge? for C installed and it's environment variables set. Then set these 3 variables:
SET DDK=d:\ddk
SET DDKTOOLS=d:\ddktools
SET IBMC=d:\ibmc
Correct the paths as necessary.
Then run the make.cmd script, and if all goes well you should have a fresh build of FAT32.IFS.
Note: There are many warning when compiling FAT32. Most of them are 'optimizing' warnings or 'unreference variable' warnings. Essentially, these warnings mean that certain functions cannot be optimized and that some vars/const are never referenced. The resulting binaries work however.

Got a creative kid at home? If that kid is like most, he or she probably wants -- no, probably needs -- the newest thing in high technology. And if you're like most, you may feel a bit wary about it: What happened to crayons and clay and pipe cleaners?
But then, what parent wants to stifle a kid's desire to master what is undeniably a necessary skill in modern times? Sure, technology has its downsides -- hours spent texting or pressing buttons on a controller or staring passively at a TV is not exactly brain-teasing. But there's another side to the tech world: software and gadgets that encourage active, creative pursuits.
For artistic kids, the perfect gift can be one that uses technology to enhance a creative pursuit like drawing or movie-making or music composition. Here, five excellent options for your little painter, composer, photographer or documentarian, beginning with a common gadget wisely redesigned for little hands ...
Digital Camera
We've all been snapping away with digital cameras for years now, but until pretty recently they were considered too delicate (and expensive) to turn over to the kid. Now, kid-safe digital cameras are all over the place, most running less than $50 and sporting lots of fun bells and whistles for your little photographer. Some come with special effects, frames and stamps to snazzy-up prized shots, while others even have a reverse view that allows for easy self-portraits.
The best part? You don't need to keep reminding anyone to be careful. These cameras can survive a good drop. Probably even a good throw.
Storage space ranges from hundreds to thousands of photos, and some models have digital zoom. They can be easily connected to a TV or computer for viewing and editing photos.
Next, a bit more motion ...
Digital Video Camera
If you've got a budding movie-maker at home, consider one of the many digital video cameras available for kids. They feature simple functions and sturdy construction, and some of them look just like the one you've got, all sleek with a foldout viewfinder. Others are chunky and have image-only controls for kids who aren't reading yet.
Storage space and mega-pixels vary by model, and all connect to TVs and computers. If you already have one of those handy "learning tablets," you might check to see if there's a video-camera accessory available, because some offer that.
Most of these video-camera models cost less than $50 and include computer editing software.
Next, for a possible future in cartoons (and so much more) ...
Animation Tools
Whether it's stop-motion or digital, animation is where's it's at right now. If your child is itching to create his or her own animated films, shorts, greeting cards or Web site images, you have a bunch of options appropriate for younger skill levels.
Some are in the form of software, which turns a computer into an animation studio that allows your child to easily create animations and upload them to the Web. Others are standalone units with the animation and viewing tools built in, some designed to animate real 3-D objects like action figures or other small toys.
Recommended ages begin around 5, so they can start young! Products in this category run as little as $20.
Next, making music ...
Music Studio
Composer, singer or wake-the-neighbors drummer, your little musical genius can take it up a notch with one of the "music studios" available for kids.
Like the animation tools, some are in the form of software and others are standalone devices. Whichever you choose, the range of options is sure to entice: Depending on model, you'll find keyboard keys that both play and teach, several instruments and styles to choose from, mixing software, built-in songs and beats, recording functions, a microphone -- pretty much everything your little one needs to indulge a love of all things musical.
These types of music toys range from super-simple, designed for infants and toddlers, to pretty high-tech but still suitable for school-age kids. Prices start around $20 or $30.
Finally, for the dedicated doodler ...
Drawing Tablet
If your kid is doodling aliens during class, you needn't fight it -- encourage it at home! Technology, in the form of a "drawing tablet," can turn a doodling habit into a real skill.
These digital tablets work with a stylus and have a range of features depending on model. Lots allow for drawing in a variety of media, such as water colors, charcoal and paint, all neat and clean in digital form. Most models connect to a computer via USB for saving and uploading artwork, and some offer extras like drawing-related games and lessons.
You can find drawing-tablet add-ons for some game systems, so if you have one you might want to check that out.
Ages start as young as 3 years old for these devices, with easy operation that requires minimal adult supervision. Tablets cost anywhere from $30 to more than $100, depending on features and age ranges. There's no reason why your tween or teen wouldn't love a full-featured "adult" tablet, which can cost more but offers more serious options for creative development.
Of course, using creative technology needn't be a serious pursuit. It need only be engaging and fun. If you happen to end up with the next Mozart or Picasso, that's a bonus.

"I cannot live with myself any longer." This was the thought that kept repeating itself in my mind. Then suddenly I became aware of what a peculiar thought it was.
"Am I one or two? If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me: the 'I' and the 'self' that 'I' cannot live with." "Maybe," I thought, "only one of them is real."
When you listen to a thought, you are aware not only of the thought but also of yourself as the witness of the thought. A new dimension of consciousness has come in.

For the first time ever, working in close collaboration with the Hague Museum of Photography, the Rencontres d'Arles is presenting a selective overview of the autonomous works created by Wolf. Wolf's key 21st-century theme is "life in cities", as he observes it in vast metropolises like Tokyo, Hong Kong and Chicago. The striking feature of these impressive series is the changing points of view adopted by the artist in order to show the complexity of modern city life. The magnum opus of the exhibition is The Real Toy Story installation (2004), featuring over 20,000 plastic "Made in China" toys found by him in junk markets and second-hand shops in the United States. Amid this overwhelming array of mass-produced stuff for kids, Michael Wolf shows sympathetic portraits of individual Chinese assembly-belt workers producing toys to satisfy the manic worldwide demand for cheap consumer goods.
In parallel, Fotomuseum Den Haag is presenting Photography and Form, an exhibition created by curator Wim van Sinderen and assistant curators Hanneke Mantel and Esther Scholtes as well as Steven de Kok's solo show A Thousand Words Say More Than These Photos.

After an outcry from fans, Bethesda has offered some lore-based reasoning behind its decision to retcon the history of the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout 76.
Earlier this month when the preview embargo lifted and fans got their first look at 76's gameplay untethered, a Reddit thread pointed to an in-game note referencing the presence of the BOS in West Virginia in 2102.
This is strange, as the Brotherhood of Steel famously left their bunker in 2150, and that was in California. Quite rightly, fans were confused as to how this works in the grand scheme of Fallout lore.
To clarify this, Bethesda pushed an Instagram post to the official Fallout account explaining how they exist across the country in Appalachia.
Alongside a picture of a power-armor toting geezer, the description reads…
"November 2077, a month after the Great War, army Captain Roger Maxson arrived with survivors at the Californian bunker of Lost Hills. There he formed the Brotherhood of Steel, who used a functioning satellite to extend their reach across America… all the way to Appalachia"
So it seems that the BOS used this satellite to establish another sect of the Brotherhood across the country, or touched base with a group that was already functioning after the chaos of nuclear terror.
It's a bit light but it works! I'm sure we'll find out more as we approach the release of Fallout 76, which is dropping this November 14th for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

This beautiful home in Mexico embraces the concept of minimalism with flare. As the architects explain:
Mies Van Der Rohe was the pioneer in this trend with his famous phrase: less is more'. Minimalism is the tendency to reduce to essentials, without leftover decorative elements, to stand by geometry and its simplicity. .
This project by professionals Arquimia Architects is a modern and sleek home that hits the minimalist note with precision.
From the outside, we can see that this is a modern and contemporary piece of architecture with a gorgeous mix of materials. Smooth white plastered walls work in harmony with wooden cladding and grey tiles, creating a beautiful look and feel. There are also large glass windows, which create a seamless transition between the interior and exterior spaces.
This home is private and secure, yet it features a very warm and welcoming entrance. There is also a double-garage, which not only keeps cars, bicycles and other items neatly stored out of sight, but it also neatly packages the exterior design.
The front garden isn't very large, but it is simply beautiful, complementing the whole look and feel of the facade. Remember that your garden plays a huge role in the exterior design, whether it's at the front of the house or the back of the house.
The designers have gone for a very simple look and feel, including a long strip of grass with tall, green plants that bring a natural touch to the facade. This also works in harmony with the wooden cladding.
Have a look at how you can make a big impression with a small front garden for inspiration!
As we explore the home, we will come across a constant transition between interior and exterior spaces.
Here we come across a beautiful courtyard, with a large, square pond. This brings a very natural touch to the interior design, while ensuring the home is connected to plenty of natural light, fresh air and of course, nature itself.
Water features like this bring a very tranquil and soothing element to a home design. If you like the style, you'll love these 10 garden water features for every budget.
The interior design of this home features a neutral colour palette with chocolate brown tones, light wooden finishes and white and beige colours.
You'll notice that the furniture arrangement in the living room is very simple and elegant, where nothing has been added to this space that isn't absolutely necessary. A few family photographs add a charming and personal touch.
The staircase is a fabulous example of how functionality and style collide. The dark wooden stairs connect to the two floors, but also add a modern and edgy design to the space.
The kitchen is simply charming with more than enough space for cooking and preparing a feast!
The designers added lime green to this space, ensuring that there is a little bit of colour and personality in the more creative part of the home. Don't you feel inspired to whip up a fresh salad or prepare a delicious smoothie, just looking at this kitchen?
The breakfast bar brings a very functional element to the kitchen, subtly separating the cooking area from the rest of the home. It also provides a more casual space that the family can gather around, thanks to the trendy white bar stools.
The mezzanine level is also a wonderful example of simple and sophisticated design. You'll notice that the focal point of this area is the large glass window, which allows natural light to stream in. There is also one carefully selected piece of artwork, which adds character to the space.
Remember that less truly can be more when it comes to design. Allow a window to form of natural piece of artwork in your home, giving you access to the beautiful surrounds.
The bathroom features beautiful white pebbles around the Jacuzzi tub, which really brings a refreshing and natural touch to the space. Don't you think this is such an innovative way to breathe new life into a bathroom space?
Remember that your bathroom is meant to be tranquil and relaxed, giving you a calm space before you start the day. Some gorgeous white pebbles can really enhance a simple design. Especially if you have a white bathroom, this type of element can bring different textures and tones to a space, without needing to inject more colours into the design.
If we head back outside, we come across a nice surprise! The designers have added a beautiful red touch of paint to the exterior design, which further enhances the look and feel.
This is a great example of how you can subtly add some vibrancy to a home design, without overwhelming the look and feel. You could also paint a front door a bright colour or the window shutters.
This home is a beautiful balance between stark minimalism and a bit of fun.
If you like the idea of incorporating a bit of the natural into your home, have a look at how to make your home roar with raw materials.

It's been 3 months since I've had the Muffin Baby, and everyday I'm learning more and more about being a full time mom... nothing teaches quite like hands-on experience! Or sometimes pooped-on-hands experience! =P What have I learned this last quarter of the year?
One of the things I've learned was to not stick to a schedule. I still, of course, want to achieve that goal of proper time and home management, but for NOW here are 5 things that keep me in good shape while having a 3-month-old and no helper during the week:
• Getting a good night's rest
It's amazing what a big difference it makes once your baby starts sleeping through the night, even if it's just 5 or 6 hours at a time. We're so thankful that the Muffin Baby goes into his deep sleep at night (sometimes up to 7 or 8 hours!), allowing us much-needed recharging. No matter how much sleep you try to sneak in during the day, mom was right when she said night sleep is different from day sleep. This is also thanks to the book On Becoming Baby Wise by Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam, M.D.
• Budgeting my time for the day's activities and doing them "as time allows it".
Sounds redundant but I've learned this the hard way, naively planning my day with calendar entries like "2:30pm fold laundry, 20 minutes" only to be interrupted by Muffin Baby's fussiness because of nap interruptions like neighbors' bad karaoke singing. =\
It's about doing what needs to be done without being strict with time frames -- it doesn't matter to me whether I fold 3 shirts at a time within every minute I can spare... for now what matters is getting what's on my day's to-do list done. Someday I'll try to get into a more proper day-to-day schedule as MB grows older.
• Eating and drinking well
The first few weeks of baby being home were a blur to me. I was adjusting, healing and mothering all at the same time that often at the end of the day I would realize I had skipped lunch or didn't drink enough water, leaving me even more exhausted. Thank God for the Muffin Man who did all the cooking and cleaning plus taking turns with me in taking care of MB. Now that I've adjusted I make sure that besides breakfast and dinner with MM, I try to fuel up during the day with a somewhat well-rounded meal... even if it's just 2 hard boiled eggs, cheese and a glass of Anmum. =P
• Family time
Needs no explanation. A few extra minutes of snuggle time with my Muffin boys in the morning, reading or singing to MB, uninterrupted mealtimes (no TV), or even late-night watching of shows like Top Chef over a pack of Oreos ...
and last but definitely most importantly,
• (Morning) Time with God
There are many days wherein my mornings of quiet time become afternoons or late-evenings of quiet time, or even none at all... and although I value my devotions regardless of when I do it, there's something about doing it in the morning that gives you the positivity and strength to tackle what the day might bring. This is something I hope to achieve as a daily habit. I read this quote and I agree wholeheartedly,
"Ever plan for yourself in simple dependence on God. It is nothing less than self-idolatry to conceive that we can carry on even the ordinary matters of the day without His counsel. He loves to be consulted. Consider no circumstance too clear to need his direction. In all thy ways, small as well as great; in all thy concerns, personal or relative; temporal or eternal, let Him be supreme. Who of us has not found the unspeakable 'peace' of bringing God matters too minute or individual to be entrusted to the most confidential ear?" - Charles Bridges
I will always be in the process of learning, succeeding and failing in my way of doing things as I go through the day to day grind. There are a lot of good advice and helpful hints that I pick up from my family, and friends or blogs online (see Mommies' Corner on Sites I Love)... some work for me while some need a little tweaking here and there. All the while I keep in mind that every woman has a different way of doing things and each family has its own unique structure.
If you have any advice for a first-time mom, I would love to hear what YOU do to keep yourself, your family and your home in great shape!

The Psychology of Pension Choices
The expected reforms in the pension system will increase the amount of choices for pension participants in the Netherlands in the near future. When people have more (complex) financial choices, the risk of inertia and making suboptimal choices increases. In this 10th Netspar Brief, researcher Henriëtte Prast (TiU) finds that the behavior of people when it comes to financial choices, systematically differs from what the rational model supposes. Especially with complex choices, people react intuitively, rather than rationally. The feeling provoked by language – especially metaphors – plays a major role in the choice that people eventually make. Financial education, based on factually correct and comprehensible information, is therefore hardly effective.
In addition to the way of communicating, this research also confirms the effect of the default option for, for example, the self employed. The results show that people in general have the intention to build a good pension. But in practice, saving is postponed systematically. When saving as a "silent choice" is offered, few people will opt-out. This is therefore one of the possible solutions for building a better retirement for more people.

Melkite Catholic Patriarch Gregoire III Laham, speaking to Catholic News Service Feb. 26 from the patriarchate in Damascus, Syria, said "it is shocking that the whole world" has not responded in a proper way to the crisis in Syria. He called for unity in reference to the Islamic State onslaught against Assyrian Christian villages in the Khabur region of northeast Syria.
Various reports listed those captured by Islamic State as ranging from 150 people to more than 400. Fr. Emanuel Youkhana, who heads the Christian Aid Program Northern Iraq, CAPNI, said none of the more than 50 families in one entire village managed to flee during the assault, which began in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 23. He said he expected the number of displaced registered families from 35 villages to reach 1,200 families. They have been sheltering in homes and churches in Hassakeh and in Qamishli.
So far, he said, about 15 young Assyrians had been killed; many of them were fighting to defend and protect villages and families.
"It is time for the international community to work very closely with Syria and also with Iraq, who are really the real victims of these 'takfiri' and jihadist groups," Laham said.
The terrorists, he said, "are surely supported by — maybe Turkey, maybe Arabs, I don't know — otherwise, how can they be so powerful if they are not supported by some countries?"
Rather than the "very unrealistic" current approach "to support the weak and divided so-called opposition, it is better and more realistic to help Syria and get together to overcome these jihadist takfiri and inhumane groups of Daesh (the Arabic acronym for Islamic State) and so on," Laham said.
"This is how we can overcome this crisis, which is dangerous not only for Syria and Iraq but also for the Arab world and the European world. We have victims now in France, in London, in America, and so on.
"Today the danger is an extremely universal one," he warned.
He said the Arab world and the Islamic world need unity and noted that "the Islamic world is able to really give a common position against these groups who are saying they are Islamic groups, but they are not."
Laham said he has been in contact by phone with Bishop Aprim Nathniel of the Assyrian Church of the East in Hassekeh, Syria, who is hosting and supporting the displaced. Laham expressed concern about the fate of the churches in the 35 villages the Assyrian Christians fled, noting that there is at least one church per village; he said nothing was yet known about their status.
"Here in Damascus, we are praying with the people. During Lent, we have daily prayers, and I can say with pride that almost all of our churches are full each day."
In a Feb. 25 statement, Syriac Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius Aphrem II of Antioch condemned the killings and terrorist acts that targeted the Christians of the Khabur region. He called upon the international community to work for the "immediate and unconditional release" of all kidnapped and detained people.
The patriarch, a native of Qamishli, Syria, urged "all people of goodwill to intervene in support of a peaceful solution of the crisis in the region," emphasizing the need "to stop the direct and indirect support for the terrorist organizations and to implement the decisions of the UN Security Council concerning the indirect financing of these organizations."
In his statement, released during a pastoral visit to the Netherlands, he said he prays for those who died in the Khabur attacks and for the return of those who were forced to leave their homes and villages.
Bassam Ishak, president of the Syriac National Council of Syria, said Feb. 27 that he believed Islamic State militants were headed for a new offensive, and he called for international military intervention.
"Christians in the city of Hassakeh called me. They are very scared," he said.

One of the difficulties lawyers face is to define the precise meaning of words in the context of the ever-changing English language. That was certainly so in one case in which a judge relied too heavily on the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) in trying to discern the meaning of words used on the casual medium of Facebook.
A man launched defamation proceedings against his ex-wife after she stated in a Facebook post that he had 'tried to strangle' her. He argued that the natural and ordinary meaning of those words was that he had tried to kill her. She submitted that Facebook users would have understood the words to mean that he had grasped her by the neck and inhibited her breathing so as to put her in fear of her life.
Following a preliminary hearing, the judge preferred the meaning contended for by the ex-husband and rejected the ex-wife's defence that the post was justified. In doing so, he placed heavy reliance on the OED, which gives two alternative meanings for the word 'strangle': to kill by external compression of the throat or to constrict the neck or throat painfully. The ex-wife's appeal against the judge's decision was subsequently dismissed by the Court of Appeal.
In unanimously upholding the ex-wife's challenge to the latter ruling, the Supreme Court found that the judge erred in law in using the OED definitions as the starting point of his analysis of the post's meaning and in failing to take into account the context in which the words were used. His flawed analysis had led to the obviously anomalous conclusion that the phrase 'he strangled me' entails a less serious accusation than the phrase 'he tried to strangle me.'
The judge had gone beyond using the OED as a means of checking his conclusion on meaning and had failed to focus on what the words would have meant, in context, to a reasonable user of Facebook. The Court noted that Facebook posts are in the nature of casual conversations and that it is unwise to search for their theoretical or logically deductible meanings.
People who swiftly scroll through Facebook react to posts in an impressionistic and fleeting manner and the judge's over-reliance on the OED resulted in a failure to conduct a realistic exploration of how the ordinary social media user would have understood the words. In substituting its own decision, the Court found that the post would have meant to an ordinary reader that the ex-husband grasped the ex-wife by the throat and applied force to her neck. In those circumstances, there was more than enough evidence on which the ex-wife's justification defence should succeed.

The Best of the Best
For the second time in his 24-year career at McGill, instructor Bruce Manson will receive the School of Continuing Studies' Award for Distinguished Teaching. He previously received the award in 2009, and was honoured to learn he would receive it once again.
"I was really surprised – that I was shortlisted, and even more so when I found out I'd won," says Manson. "It's a big school with a huge talent pool. I work with people who are very competent, professional, and dedicated, and I'm honoured to be chosen from among such a talented group."
Manson teaches part-time and intensive courses for the School's English language programs. He was selected to receive the award based on his outstanding contribution as a lecturer, as well as strong support by students' letters of nomination and course evaluations. The award was presented at the School's convocation ceremony on June 8, 2016.
"As teachers we're always learning and growing and hoping to get better, and I'm certainly trying to do that. I guess I look at this as an indicator that I'm on the right track, but there's always room for improvement."
He sees the results of his work every day in the classroom. "The intensive English program I teach is the Certificate of Proficiency in English – Language and Culture. Students are acquiring new language skills while simultaneously experiencing personal growth and broadening their horizons; they're developing new ways of seeing the world. It's rewarding to see students breaking stereotypes, crossing barriers, and increasing their intercultural awareness.
"I also like knowing my colleagues and I play a role in motivating our students to learn. Sometimes you get students who say, 'I wasn't very enthusiastic about learning English, but I've enjoyed this course and it's motivated me to continue.' That's what really stands out for me."

Out of the box, Spotfire does not naturally load or represent seismic data. In this post, we will cover how we have extended the Spotfire platform with the Segy data source (available as part of the 3D Subsurface Visualization) which allows the loading, representation and visualization of seismic data in Spotfire.
A program like Spotfire runs on data tables. This is nice because we have a common data structure to use for ad-hoc data; however, this can be problematic for data types that are not inherently tabular. Case in point is grid data like seismic. We have chosen to represent seismic data in Spotfire as a data table with each row corresponding to a trace.
A trace has header information like position, top and bottom depths, sample interval, trace number (or inline and cross line) and array information of values. These values correspond to either depths or timeseries sampled below the surface. These values are flexible in meaning: they could be seismic amplitudes, interpreted facies, Boolean flags, or other meta-information of the subsurface.
Inside Spotfire, trace header information becomes columns of the data table and the array of values are collapsed into a binary float array. Seismic traces can be shorts, ints, bytes, or floats – but for simplicity we will represent it with floats, the most expressive (and least efficient) type. By condensing the array of values into a binary object, we efficiently load the seismic data into Spotfire. If we were to have a row per sample, your ability to load in 3D seismic or large 2D surveys would be seriously limited. This is the difference between having 600,000 rows of data and 600 million rows! We have been able to load Teapot dome 3D seismic into Spotfire running on a Surface Pro 3 with 8 GB of memory and analyze, visualize, and filter it without any performance issues.
It's important to note that Segy is an abused data format. What I mean is that people will make a mess of where they store certain attributes of the trace, even though there's a standard for it. So, sometimes INLINENO is in the CDP_X location. A good rule of thumb is to poke around the data that gets loaded in to see what is what. The nice thing is inside Spotfire, you just need to tell it what columns to use – it won't hiccup if CDP_Y is actually XLINENO.
Here's a short video showing Segy data being loaded into Spotfire.
Now that we have seismic data in Spotfire, we can visualize it with the 3D subsurface visualization. We can visualize either 2D surveys or 3D volumes. To do so, just add a layer for seismic and point it at the right table and columns. You can even write custom expressions for the columns in case you want to do a crude time to depth migration.
The color property pane is a powerful tool that allows you to specify scientific color maps in HSV space, supporting alpha blends. Adding alpha is nice because you can then see through certain portions of the seismic to better see how stratigraphy or subsurface patterns correlate to well placement. You can think of HSV space like a circle (ref HSV). The property dialog expects values between 0 and 1.
Once we have the seismic visualized inside Spotfire, we can use filtering to hide or show certain traces. This can be useful to focus on a certain area of the seismic volume or 2D survey.
You can improve rendering performance by disconnecting seismic from responding to filtering or marking. By doing this, the visualization can just cache the seismic since it knows the underlying data won't be changing.
I know what you're thinking – visualizing seismic isn't new! That's true, but now that it is inside Spotfire, we are going to be able to leverage it in some novel workflows. We'll start that process by pulling it into TIBCO's compute engine called TERR.
So, in the next post we will take a look at how you can bring this seismic data into TERR and unpack the values.
You can access the DXP for this post on Exchange.ai here. You'll need Spotfire, of course. In case you don't have it, here's where you can get a trial license.

Val Emmich on Sucking and the Short, Torturous Ten-Year Process of Getting Published
We met Val Emmich when he won our Jersey City Pitchapalooza at Word Bookstore. He was so comfortable presenting, he paused in all the right places, and he put the right emphasis on all the right words. And he had a fantastic story. We found out he's also a very accomplished actor and musician, which explained his ability to present himself. One of the greatest things about being a book doctor is when one of your patients gets a fab book deal with a fantastic publisher. Val did exactly that. So we thought we'd pick his brain about exactly how he managed to add Author to his impressive resume.
The Book Doctors: What were some of your favorite books as a kid, and why? What are you reading currently?
Val Emmich: I have pretty poor recall of my childhood years, which may be surprising coming from someone who just wrote a whole novel about a child with a near-perfect memory. That said, I do remember ripping through as many Hardy Boys books as I could. I also have a vivid recollection of listening to one of my teachers read aloud to our class Charlotte's Web. I was riveted by it, probably because it's about animals and I love animals, more than I love people. Right now, I'm reading Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance, a recommendation from my father, and The Nix by Nathan Hill.
TBD: David was also an actor who became a writer of books. How do you think this helped you as you craft a first novel?
VE: Acting is about putting yourself in someone else's shoes. Embodying a character that isn't you. It requires empathy and observational skills. You keep searching for how to get to the heart of the person you're trying to portray. You're looking for a detail that speaks to you. How someone walks. How he got that scar on his chin. How he styles his hair. This is all very similar to the character work necessary for writing a novel. Additionally, the process of reading and breaking down scripts was really instructive, both in terms of understanding the motivation and objective of a given scene and also how stories are structured and paced.
TBD: Tell us about The Reminders.
VE: Joan is ten and she's got this rare condition where she can recall nearly every day of her life in exact detail. Then there's Gavin, an actor in his thirties, who's just lost his partner and soulmate, Sydney. Gavin attempts to rid his life of all reminders of Sydney, hoping it'll soothe some of his overwhelming pain. But then he learns that Joan possesses detailed memories of Sydney, stories about him that Gavin has never heard, and Gavin has no choice but to dive back into the past. Meanwhile, Joan wants something back from Gavin. She's the girl who can't forget, but she'd rather be the girl who can't be forgotten and she believes that Gavin, a semi-celebrity, might be able to help her achieve that dream.
The idea for the novel first came to me when my daughter fell out of a shopping cart in Home Depot and landed on her head on the concrete floor. Around the same time I saw a piece on 60 Minutes that featured people with this real-life memory condition known as highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM) and I had this absurd thought: What if my daughter's bonk on the head resulted in her somehow acquiring this specialized memory? That ridiculous hypothesis, the playfulness of it, set the tone for the whole novel.
TBD: Please describe your path to publication.
VE: The quick version. I wrote one novel. It sucked. I wrote a second novel. It sucked less. I wrote a third novel. It was decent enough to get me an agent. We tore the novel apart, and I built it back up again essentially from scratch. Then my agent sold the book and my editors tore it up and I put it back together yet again. By the time the novel was published, in May of this year, it had been ten years of dedicated writing, along with tons of reading (other novels, how-to books), attending writers conferences and picking the brains of the few writers I had access to who had written books.
TBD: Was it difficult writing in two voices?
VE: Very. The most difficult parts were making sure the voices were both distinct and compelling. The consensus among my earliest readers seemed to be that Joan was the star of the book. I knew I'd never be able to have Gavin outshine her. That's not his role. Still, I wanted to make sure his sections didn't feel like a letdown after hers.
I'd listen to different music when writing in each voice. I found songs that seemed to tap into the energy of each character. After listening to the songs over and over, the music began to trigger an almost Pavlovian response in me where I'd immediately enter the head of that specific character. Also, I focused in a boringly technical way on the language used by my two protagonists. I created a detailed spreadsheet that counted the frequency of each word in each section. It showed me a lot about what I was organically doing with each character, and at that point, it was a matter of removing what made the two voices similar and emphasizing what made them different. Eventually, this overt hypersensitivity to vocabulary became second nature and I was able to write fluidly, making Joan and Gavin their own distinct people on the page.
TBD: We notice that you are doing house concerts to promote your book. What exactly are they, and how did you come up with the idea?
VE: It just made sense. The book is partially about music. I'm a musician, songwriter, and performer. I record and release albums. I have music fans. I hoped my music fans would also be interested in reading my book. On top of all that, I've been to enough poorly attended author events at bookstores, and even when they're well attended, they can be boring when it's just straight-up reading. I wanted to do a hybrid event, some reading, a bit of discussion, plenty of music. I didn't feel like a bookstore or traditional music venue was going to offer the intimate, casual vibe I had in mind as well as the guarantee of a crowd. I wanted a place where people could relax and stay a while and where I could really forge a personal connection. I reached out to some of my fans and asked if they'd be interested in hosting shows in their homes and inviting all their friends. They said yes.
TBD: How does being a musician and songwriter affect your prose writing?
VE: Prose writing requires an ear, just like songwriting. You need to have a sense of rhythm. Also, with a song (at least with my songs) there's usually a refrain or leitmotif that emphasizes an important theme or emotion. I try to do the same thing in my writing, sprinkle in timely repetitions to drive home something that I deem significant. But I think the biggest thing I've learned from my life in music has to with my understanding of the audience. Over two decades of performing in front of a crowd and engaging online with listener feedback, I've learned a lot about how to make people feel something. The goal is the same when writing prose: to trigger a reaction in the reader.
TBD: What are you working on next?
VE: I've started writing a new novel. Before I get too deep into it, I plan to record and release new music. Songwriting is more tactile and physical than prose writing. It also takes far less time. I need a more immediate artistic fix right now.
TBD: We hate to ask you this, but what advice do you have for writers?
VE: Treat it like a real job and remember that even a so-called real job involves plenty of goofing off. Carve out time to write, whatever works for you, thirty minutes, four hours, however long and sit there, even if you're not actually typing words or producing pages, just sit there. Even when you're staring at a white page, mind wandering elsewhere, that's okay. That's work. Sitting there with that dumb look on your face is part of the job. Do it again the next day. And the next. If you miss a day, no worries. Miss two days? Doesn't matter. Put yourself in that chair as many times as you can over as long a stretch as you can. If you keep showing up in that chair, over time, enough time, you might have something. Might not, but there's no other way to do it. If you want it, that's what's required: hours. There's less magic involved than the would-be writer might imagine. At the end of the day, it's simple math. It's a whole bunch of hours added up. Start spending them.
Dubbed a "Renaissance Man" by the New York Post, Val Emmich is a writer, singer-songwriter, and actor. He has had recurring roles on Vinyl and Ugly Betty as well as a memorable guest role as Liz Lemon's coffee-boy fling, Jamie, on 30 Rock. Emmich lives in Jersey City, New Jersey, with his wife and their two children. The Reminders is his first novel.
Pitchapalooza Winner Val Emmich Sells His Debut Novel

We first met Val Emmich during Pitchapalooza at Word Bookstore in Jersey City. He wowed us with his pitch and walked away a winner. Now he's sold U.S. and foreign rights for his debut novel, The Highs and Lows of Never Forgetting. Look for it in 2017 from Little, Brown. Congratulations, Val!
Actor and musician Val Emmich sold his debut, The Highs and Lows of Never Forgetting, to Judy Clain at Little, Brown. Jeff Kleinman, at Folio Literary Management, brokered the North American rights deal for Emmich, who's had roles on TV shows such as Ugly Betty and 30 Rock and the upcoming Martin Scorsese HBO show, Vinyl. The novel follows Joan, an aspiring 10-year-old musician who has the ability to recall her life in full detail. Knowing Joan's gift, and that she knew his recently deceased partner, TV star Gavin seeks her out. But Joan, who herself worries about being forgotten, will share her recollections of Gavin's partner only if he helps her write a song that will guarantee she is always remembered. The book sold in a flurry of foreign deals during last month's Frankfurt Book Fair—it was acquired by houses in Brazil, Italy, Germany, and other countries—before it was sent to publishers in the U.S. It is also out for film, with Sylvie Rabineau representing it.

You can read the announcement in Publishers Weekly here.
Pitchapalooza is the American Idol for books (only without Simon) and it works like this: Anyone with an idea for a book has the chance to pitch it to a panel of judges. But they get only one minute. The Book Doctors team up with guest industry insiders to form the judging panel. The Judges critique everything from idea to style to potential in the marketplace and much, much more. Whether potential authors pitch themselves, or simply listen to trained professionals critique each presentation, all Pitchapalooza attendees come away with concrete advice on how to improve their pitch as well as a greater understanding of the ins and outs of the publishing industry. At the end of each Pitchapalooza, the judges come together to pick a winner. The winner receives an introduction to an agent or publisher appropriate for their work. Join us for an upcoming Pitchapalooza.
Sign up for our newsletter and we'll send Pitchapalooza dates and resources to you each month.

Take a gander at my latest book cover! Professional Gaming Careers comes out in July from Norwood Press.
"Going head-to-head with a group of friends can be a lot of fun. But beating the best gamers in the world can lead to fame and fortune. The growth of E-Sports has put professional gamers on the same stage once occupied solely by athletes. Competitions, sponsorship, and live streams are all part of a lucrative career as a professional gamer.Video games aren't just a hobby any more. E-Sports is on the rise and reaching people of all ages. This series looks at 4 facets of competitive video gaming: the industry, the careers, the game development, and the competition. Each book contains fast facts and in-depth sidebars, plus a glossary, an index, and places to go for more information. E-Sports: Game On! is a great mix of high-interest content with STEM connections."
This book was a lot of fun to write but I also discovered something interesting. My son and his friends and people their age were really excited about this particular project. People my age? "Is that a job?"
And this is why you need to know your audience.
So looking forward to seeing this one in print. It is always interesting to see
how my various publishers design a book. So if you'll excuse me, I have several weeks to watch for the mail carrier.

Rebounderz Fun
Hey Friends,
I hope this finds you getting ready to kick off a fantastic weekend full of fun for you and the fam! My crew and I are actually on the way to Daytona to check out a new hotel on the beach there- The Hard Rock Hotel at Daytona Beach! I am looking forward to a chance to soak up the last bit of fun from the summer before school kicks off for my little on Monday. Last week was spent doing as much fun stuff as we could while also doing all of the necessary errands to get this new school year started.
I have been wanting to try Rebounderz in Jacksonville, FL for awhile!! Jacksonville is just over the Florida line and only takes around an hour from our house in Brunswick, Georgia! Jacksonville has soooo many great entertainment options in general,especially for families. With the business of "just life" and nursing school the last two years we had not been able to make it to Rebounderz though to check it out. That all changed last week when I decided to embark on a journey to Jacksonville with my niece (3) and my Mr. Wonderful (5). They are BOTH fantastic but you get them together and WOW! I just want to take this moment to tell you all of you mamas with >1 small child that you are a superhero, a rockstar, and saints all rolled into one ball of awesome and also that I am a lesser woman. I see you out and about in public and I am always amazed how calm, cool, and collected you are and I never cease to be in awe. Anyways- this was probably my first venture to this type of establishment with two littles and so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.
Rebounderz is like heaven for parents for real. It is VERY nicely done. From the polished cement flooring to the decorations it was ALOT nicer than what I had in mind. As soon as we arrived, we completed some waivers and purchased our socks. FYI you will be required to purchase rebounderz socks for $2 but they are reusable so I saved ours so we can use the next time. I thought they were super neat though because they had really cool grippy bottoms that help prevent accidents on the trampolines and other attractions. The staff were ample and very helpful. The assistant manager, a very nice young man, was kind enough to walk us around to each area and explain the features the kids might be interested in as well as showed us some areas more geared towards the older kids like laser tag and the rock wall. My first impression is that I could NOT believe how much there was there for kids to do. They really have some of everything or what you might think of as a one stop shop.
The Trampolines
The trampoline park was the first area we checked out when we got there and I think I speak for the group when I say that it was our collective favorite. The trampoline park area is what I would consider the crown jewel of Rebounderz and maybe what they are most known for. This area is HUGE! There is a section towards the end that is netted off and designated for dodgeball. We never went into that section but it appeared to be mostly older kids and so I REALLY appreciate the netting to keep the littles out from under the older kids who understandably like to play alittle more rough. We had the BEST time jumping and playing in this part. I even got in on the action and let me tell you that I was jumping so high I kind of scared myself. But it was a blast! If maybe jumping is not your thing then there are conveniently placed and very comfortable seating areas right in front of the trampolines. There are also some cubbies for your belongings which I thought was very thoughtful and if you need to leave some valuables then there are also lockers for rent too. We liked the trampolines SO much we actually hit this area twice with the second time being right as we were about to get in the car. The reason was two fold- one because the kids really liked this part and wanted to play some more and two because I wanted to make sure we had drained every bit of energy so they would sleep on the car ride home. It worked like a charm 😉
The Foam Pit
After the trampolines we checked out the foam pit area and that was one of the kid's favorite areas too. There were two smaller trampolines there with a HUGE foam pit filled with squishy foam squares. The kids DID NOT want to get out of the foam pit all. They had the best time playing around in there, especially my niece. I thought for a second she was going to lay down and take a nap. They liked covering each other up with the blocks until they were completely hidden. I wanted SO badly to run as hard as I could and jump into the pit. I was able to resist the urge but I really enjoyed watching them play in this area. This was another area that they liked so much we checked it out again before we left for the day.
The Ninja Warrior Course
After the foam pit we went to the ninja warrior course. It looks just like the Ninja Warrior TV show if you are familiar with that. I happen to have just seen it recently for the first time but this course looks a lot like the one from TV. They even have the red wall you have to climb at the end. One thing that rebounderz has though that they do not have on the TV version is one very kind young man working in this area. I never caught his name but there was THE nicest young gentleman that spent a ton of time showing P each station and how to tackle it. He never got frustrated or seemed tired of working with him. As a mom I really appreciated that extra effort and it made a big difference in how much P was able to enjoy this area. In order to play on the wall portion you will need to bring tennis shoes as those are required for that part so make sure to plan accordingly. You have to be 42 inches or taller to enjoy the ninja course but if you have some that aren't quite tall enough yet there is a great smaller ( and less challenging) ninja course right next to the warrior course that the littles can enjoy while the bigger kids play too. My niece had a great time playing in this section while big cousin checked out the other. My favorite part was that there were some really comfy seating options by the smaller kid's course and you could watch both areas at the same time. Several moms and grandmothers were taking advantage of conveniently placed seating for the adults. It was awesome to relax and be able to keep eyes on the kiddos.
Arcade games, Laser Tag, Bowling, and More
In addition to the trampolines, foam pit, and warrior course there is SO much more than just that. There really is something for every single age group. Laser tag was one of the activities that we did not get to try but seemed very popular based on the herd of 10-13 year old boys I watched run and out the laser course over and over again. They looked like they were having the best time. I also noticed that the rock climbing walls were exceptionally popular. I personally really enjoy rock climbing walls and think it is a great way to sneak in some exercise which lord knows I need. I think this is also a challenge for a lot of kids given all of the technology these days so it's a great way to get them up and moving!
I also noticed quite a few pool tables as well as some bowling alleys. The bowling area seemed very popular and I want to check this out next time for sure. As if all of that is not enough, there is a respectable arcade area that is enough to please any gamer in your group. I was surprised by how substantial this area was considering I wasn't even expecting any arcade games. This was a bonus for me and next time I will bring back our resident gaming expert to check it out too. Rebounderz also offers party packages that sounds awesome. If the state of the facility is any indication of the birthday parties they can throw then I feel most confident they throw a really good party. I love that no matter the ages in your group, ability level, or interest there is something at rebounderz they can do. We have a big variety in ages in our family so this is really important to keep everyone happy:) Especially Mom !
Eats and Cool Brews
After all of that fun you and the kids are bound to work up an appetite. Rebounderz offers a full service restaurant as well as a full service bar. I spotted several beers on draft and saw many parents treating themselves to a frosty beverage after a long day corralling kids. Cheers to you! My husband wasn't able to join us on this occasion but I can imagine he would have been happy to watch us all play from a comfy seat in the "EATS" area with something cold and refreshing to enjoy. Unfortunately we had just eaten before we got there but the next trip I definitely plan to check out the awesome food and beverages that Rebounderz offers.
I can not recommend enough that you and your family give Rebounderz a try! I was super impressed with the facility, the reasonable prices, all the activities, the helpful staff, and the overall experience. Rebounderz is the perfect option for the weekends now that school has started back or for rainy days at the beach! Let me know if you check it out. I would love to here about your trip. You can find more information on Rebounderz here .

Fourth Quarter 2016 – "Unprecedented"
After experiencing one of their worst Januarys in recent memory, US equity markets staged an impressive recovery that accelerated during the last few weeks of the year. Questions concerning a deceleration of growth, particularly in the emerging markets, gave way as the year progressed; economic data improved and "animal spirits" appeared to rekindle as investors took a positive view of President-elect Trump's campaign promises. The year proved to be a lesson in professional forecasters' fallibility, with the Brexit vote and the US presidential election results catching many by surprise. The economic impact of these events yet unknown, the World Bank projects global GDP to accelerate in 2017 as emerging-market exporters benefit from improving prices for commodities and advanced economies benefit from fiscal stimulus. However, the bank's report also mentions new risks that could hinder growth, including rising trade protectionism and uncertainty about policy direction in developed economies..
