Upgradation of Pakistan Locomotives Factory under-process

ISLAMABAD, Nov 13 (APP): Pakistan Railways is working diligently on the scheme for up-gradation and commercial operations of Pakistan Locomotive Factory, Risalpur to enhance its capacity.

According to the official source in the Ministry of Railways, the initiative would attract Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of diesel electric locomotives to invest in Pakistan locomotives Factory, Risalpur for manufacturing of diesel electric locomotives on joint venture basis.

The joint venture would be executed with a target of 50 percent deletion in the first five years of operation with following average: first year 25 percent, second year 35 percent, third year 40 percent, fourth year 45 percent, fifth year 50 percent, fifth to tenth year ; 60 percent to 70 percent gradually, he added.

He said the Expression of Interest (EOI) for the above scheme has been invited and technical proposals are under evaluation.

Presently, the capacity or annual production of the factory is to manufacture 25 diesel electric locomotives per annum on single shift basis, he said.

The source said that currently a long term plan is under study to evolve a strategy for indigenous manufacturing of Locomotives in locomotive factory Risalpur, in collaboration with world’s leading Locomotive manufacturers through Transfer of Technology (TOT).

It would be clear after finalization of this strategy, whether the existing capacity needs to be augmented for introduction of second shift, he added.

The Webby Awards Player: A Silverlight 3 OOB Player App

Thirteen23 is a Startup focused on UI-UX geared .NET App development (most of the time) that works in WPF and Silverlight. I find their Apps to be quite interesting so i am reviewing my favorites. So don’t get surprised if you see some of its apps reviewed and quick viewed here.

The Webby Awards is a ceremony that honors the excellence in interactive design, creativity, usability and functionality on the Internet (That is how the put it). Every year they give the awards and as they give one based on a jurors vote, they also usually give a award based on the people choice. This gives the ceremony the needed balance it needs so everyone is so-so happy with whatever gets awarded. This seems to work and the results is the highlighting of a bunch of individuals and these individuals content that other way a lot of people would miss and that happens to represent some of the good of what  happened in the web.

The Webby Awards Player is Silverlight 3 based app that counts with OOB (out of browser) mode enabled allowing you to install it to a desktop no matter if you are in Windows or Mac OS X. This player app carries all the awarded content from The Webby Awards 13 series or what it was considered some of the most relevant for 2008.

If you find that proposition interesting enough, then you only need to go to the Player App Page and you will instantly see a rectangle sized SL3 element loading up.

Once it loads up it will show a little button/badge asking you to “run” the app. You only need to click it or right-click it in order to initialize it.

After you do that, it will give you an installation dialog like this one:

You can choose to only send it to your Start Menu app lists or to add a Desktop Icon. If you add the desktop icon, it will appear instantly once you install just by clicking OK:

As you click OK, the app will also launch instantly. And that is it, you have installed it and your are running it. it is a 10-15 seconds install and launch process.

As the app jumps at you, it will instantly load up in the Videos Section of the App. The entries are divided by award and by who choose the entry. Meaning either the webby jurors or the people as voted in the website of the webby awards. You will note that you only have a dial in a horizontal old TV/Radio tuner way.  At first it will load up by itself, but you can just grab it and browse as you like. You hold it with your cursor and let go for it to start playing.

The other section are the photos from the event in the red carpet, during the show and after party. Now the navigations is a simple photo thumbnail horizontal line with the same dial and you just pass them around at your pace.

I found the app very well put together, the only things lacking were that it didn’t had any kind of integrated controls for volume or play/stop and that it lacked Full Screen support. Unlike the TED Talks Player App.

That last part seems to have been intentional as the player can only size up and size down in a very small range. So i guess the idea was for it to be an embedded player first, widget-app second.

Why would you want this?

It is actually good content and it is already collected up in an easy and quick way to view. Consider it a packaged content channel. And since it is Silverlight 3 based. It uninstalls even faster than the time it took to install. To uninstall just right-click on it while its running and select “remove this application”. If you decide to leave it around, it will also be able to notify you or fully auto update depending if Thirteen23 decides to fully update it or just pass and deactivate it once the awards for 2009 have gone through. It is a good, simple and attractive player app for when you want to check out some good content from 2008 in case you have missed it or want to relive some of it.

The app can be used in Windows  (XP and newer) and in the Mac (Tiger and newer).

03 September 2009

Is the name of one of my other blogs. A old running one where i have wrote 500 posts but that only 350+ got published and that it is about all things Blogger.com, Blogger and for Bloggers. However i also review services and apps there when they are of the interest of Bloggers.

And that is it in general. For that reason it is going to be crossing over in link over here and Appatic is going to crossover in links over there.

Content will be different in each site. So i am not talking about cross-pollination of posts.

This post is severely outdated.

Bloggeratto is no longer active. Has not being active for 3 years and I am not going to continue it.

01 September 2009

Why Appatic?

I was originally going to name this blog Addendix. But it read more as a note directory and it didn’t connected with what the blog was going to be about. This blog is about Software. App has become the default word for a program, service, widget and whatnot. Independently if it is in a Browser, Desktop, Mobile, TV or Game Console.

So after looking i was left wandering looking for something to register around the word App, and someone in Wikipedia and in Reddit confused the word Apathetic with Appatic when referring to a historical middle age figure. Then there was a comment that said something along the lines:

“That means he had a compulsion for apps? or that is not interesting in anything but apps?”

(The comment then followed on mocking the other user further. so no need to add that here)

I found that sarcastic remark perfectly defining that word that previously didn’t meant anything. Not the first time that happens in The Internet as that is precisely how languages get “tweaked” and new words get born now. The latest example being Pseudo New Media sputter a new word when referring to an addiction for apps as “Apping” because it went along good with the latest craze of “Sexting”. Which don´t really connects well to the intended meaning.

So i find that clever comment from a Redditor more on the mark, even if in an involuntary way. Than what someone in a newsroom thought as a clever way to associate something to an already sensationalistic  news story.

So Appatic it is. The fact on being it compulsory about apps or being someone not interested in nothing but apps should be left to further discussion.

(Not really)

In-situ Testing of VCDs: Aquacrete and PB Launch New Non-Destructive Testing Technique

Aquacrete, the Australian owned and operated ventilation control specialist, has developed in-situ testing technology that will allow underground mine operators to non-destructively verify the thickness and therefore overpressure rating compliance of ventilation control devices (VCDs). Launched at the Australian Mine Ventilation Conference at the University of New South Wales on 6 September, the Aquacrete Thickness Gauge (ATG) can accurately analyse existing and new installations without the risk of damaging the material structure of the VCD.

While sample coring and analysis of installed seals has provided significant assurance to mines, it is difficult, time-consuming and costly to carry out physical sampling and testing of every installed VCD. As a result, over the past three years, Aquacrete and international engineering consulting firm, Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB), have co-operatively developed a method for in-situ, non-destructive testing that addresses these issues. Although a new approach to testing underground VCDs, the method employs recognised testing equipment in a new application.

“The Aquacrete Thickness Gauge uses sound waves to test a material for integrity and strength properties. It works by striking a surface with a hammer built in to the testing device and then measuring the elapsed time for the sound waves to reflect off the far surface,” PB Technical Executive for Energy, Mining and Industry, Michael Salu, explains.

“If there are any defects within the material, such as voids, the sound waves will not transmit through and the instrument will record the sound waves bouncing off an apparently thinner section.”

Mine operations can take multiple readings across the surface of the installed VCD, providing further reassurance that the seal has been installed to the required standards.

Aquacrete Business Development Manager, Greg Kay, says there has been a lot of support for the new technology. Having conducted a range of tests in the laboratory, above ground, at trial underground sites and in active mine operations, Aquacrete and PB were invited to present a paper on the new technology at the University of New South Wales conference.

As underground mines increasingly face the challenge of maximising production without losing focus on safety excellence, Kay says the ability to predict the effectiveness and identify defects in mine seals and stoppings plays an increasingly important role in mine ventilation management.

Reinforcing their shared commitment to establishing more consistent engineering standards for VCD construction, Salu and his team at PB have worked with Aquacrete over the years to develop a range of engineering, design and monitoring tools for the underground mining sector.

Salu believes the new testing technology is a much-needed development for the industry:

“Having a reliable and accurate means of non-destructively testing seals in-situ provides substantial operational and safety benefits to the underground coal mining industry.” he says.

The new equipment will form an integral part of Aquacrete’s mine support program, where the company provides site audits and VCD inspections to not only assess the installation requirements for a site but to monitor the integrity of installed seals and stoppings over time.

Gene Sherman: A Dialogue With Asia - Art Collector

Issue 26 October-December 2003

Dr Gene Sherman believes the nation’s destiny lies in its region, and it’s a dialogue with Asia that has been the focus for her gallery and artists since starting in the business in 1986. Sherman Galleries is the only commercial art gallery in Australia to mount major museum touring exhibitions of important contemporary Australian art in Asia. In 1996-97 Sherman and co-director (and respected curator) Bill Wright mounted Systems End: Contemporary Art in Australia, taking twelve contemporary artists on a museum tour of Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Two years later, the pair undertook a sequel with The Rose Crossing, exhibiting 13 artists – not all of them represented by the gallery – in museums in Brisbane, Hong Kong and Singapore. 2003 has been a watershed year with consolidation of the gallery’s operations into an expanded Goodhope Street Gallery, and the winding up of the gallery at Hargrave Street. Sherman is now ready to re-focus the exhibition programme and her international schedule, with plans also to bring more overseas artists into her stable. Attending the opening of the 50th Venice Biennale in June, Gene Sherman talked to Michael Hutak.

MICHAEL HUTAK: Why did you start the gallery?
GENE SHERMAN: It was accidental – I had to leave the academic world and art was my second major, it was quite a passionate interest… my aunt was quite a prominent artist in South Africa, my father was a collector. I grew up thinking everybody went to art galleries like people today go to the movies.

MH: Why has Asia been your major focus?
GS: Given that I’d had such a broad education – I was already a tri-lingual speaker, I’d grown up in multi-lingual households – I didn’t feel comfortable about being locked into a mono-lingual, monocultural, isolated world. And as I proceeded with the gallery I came to realise, that Asia was there! It just seemed to make sense to me. I had two young children; [husband] Brian [Sherman] was building up a business; it was a very serious effort. I didn’t want to be going too far a field. But with Japan I could and did go there many times, and just for three or four days – you could do it. Our family had moved out of South Africa to London, and now here we were in Australia. I was and remain a great Paul Keating fan, and it was that era when there was a great turning of attention to Asia in Australia. Keating was the first politician in my entire adult life that ever spoke a language that resonated with me. The first one! Not in England, not in South Africa, not in Australia and then Keating came along and everything he said I felt ‘Yes!’ What he said about Asia really resonated with me. I knew I wanted to show Australian contemporary art and I knew I wanted to reach out to the outside world with it.

MH: What’s the current mix of Asian-based to Australian-based artists in the gallery?
GS: We have 22 artists in total – 17 living in Australia, two of whom are of Asian origin: Guan Wei with whom we started right at the beginning – he pre-dates Bill [Wright] joining the gallery – and John Young. Then there’s a number of artists who are not Australian that we show, the most important of whom is Xu Bing, a major figure, a Beijing artist now living in New York. Then there’s Kimio Tsuchiya, Japanese, Cai Guo Qiang who was born in China, studied in Japan and currently lives in New York. And Toshiaki Izumi, who studied and lived in Los Angeles and New York in the 1970s but has since returned to Nagoya. We had three major shows of Chinese artists in the 1990s and this year I curated a show in March called Australia Asia 03 – which had Asian-based Asian artists from Indonesia, Japan and China, and Australian artists of Asian origin.

MH: Is it difficult representing Asian artists in Australia?
GS: I think with almost any artist one needs intuition and persistence. We started way back with Guan Wei in 1989, who arrived in Australia without a dollar, without a word of English but with a number of serious people interested in his work. If ever intuition came into it it was with Guan Wei. We didn’t sell a work for five years. Not one. I had to use an interpreter just to have a cup of coffee with him. Eventually we sold our first work to Tom Lowenstein who could never remember his name and used to call him “senso unico” to remind him of “one way” (laughs) and now there’s a waiting list, queues of people for his work, the museums have all bought and so on…

MH: What about taking your artists to Asia?
GS: Well, I haven’t just gone to Asia. I’ve selected specific places. Within my time frame – and I haven’t got 50 years ahead of me – I targeted Japan to begin with. I first went to Tokyo in 1987 and I’ve been going there roughly twice a year ever since. I’m going twice this year. Most of our artists are invited, and you aren’t invited where you aren’t welcome. Three of our artists are in the Echigo Tsumari [Triennale 2003 near Nagano which opened in July]. Fram Kitagawa is the director. I’ve known Fram for many years. He is a man I admire and on whom I would like, in a way, to model myself. His aim is to revitalise the region where he came from… he encourages the artists to work with the local communities. Our three artists are Janet Laurence, Anne Graham and Lauren Berkowitz. In October I’ll be going to China with Imants Tillers because he has two major works out of the Diaspora series that are going to the inaugral Beijing Biennale. These are two huge works, five metres by nine metres each, 300 panel boards.

MH: What percentage of your business is done internationally?
GS: It hovers between 13 per cent and 25 per cent and at the moment, the current financial year [2002-03] it stands at 17 per cent. Our peak export figures were in the Olympic year – for obvious reasons – when it was 25 per cent. That’s not just the region either because we also have significant American collectors.

MH: Which artists sell well for you in Asia?
GS: It’s arbitrary which artists do well in which market. In object terms most works go to the region, in dollar terms most goes to America. Imants has been successful in Japan and is now getting attention in China. Guan Wei has been successful in Japan. Hossein Valamanesh has been enormously successful in Japan. Hilary Mais has done well in Chicago.

MH: Who in Asia buys the works?
GS: Most interest has come from individual collectors or institutions rather than corporations. Individuals are always going to be attracted to certain artists because it’s such a personal thing. We have more sales to individuals than institutions, but having said that Imants and Guan Wei have been more in demand from institutions. I was six years on the road in Asia when I took those two shows [Systems End and Rose Crossing]… and the people who were attracted to those shows were already attracted to contemporary art, so we were talking to an audience who were already aware of the language of contemporary art and you build on those people. They are often business people, sometimes media people, often in the hotel industry – we’ve made sales of John Young, for example, to hotels in Japan.

MH: Why do you think you have been so successful in developing Asian markets?
GS: Well, I read nothing but contemporary Japanese fiction for two years in an effort to understand the culture. I didn’t just dash in and wave my card. The difference between selling art in Australia and Japan is that you have to make that kind of effort. When I’m immersed in a culture it better allows me to then understand the individual who lives in it. I would never come along and say ‘The Japanese do this…’ or ‘The Japanese don’t do that…’ – it all comes down to a series of individual connections and to tap into a person’s feelings – or, often enough, their anxieties! It’s really very labour intensive and you need commitment, but commitment with a focus. People say why don’t you go off to some other hot spot, everyone’s interested in buying art there – I say, ‘No!’… The Australia Council wanted us to go to ARCO [art fair in Madrid in February 2002]. Many of the other galleries went, a lot of money was put into it. They all called me, everyone called me, I said the same thing to them all: ‘I can’t go to Madrid unless I’m going to Madrid in the long term.’ It’s not just even a question of money: it’s my labour, it’s the staff, it’s our resources, it’s what our artists are not getting at home while we’re all there. And why Spain? Do I want to be in Spain in the long-term? The short answer is I think Spain’s a wonderfulplace but I can’t be everywhere. And they were quite surprised, saying, ‘But Gene we’re giving substantial financial assistance.’ But I said it’s like giving someone a present that they don’t want! A lot of money was spent and, not to say it was a bad thing, but it’s a case of: where do you put your resources to maximise outcomes?

GS: I do find it a little disappointing. So much has been invested in this by so many people to raise goodwill towards Australia in the region. Nevertheless I must say it hasn’t been totally squandered. You can’t go back and wipe the slate clean. There’s very good business being done by very good companies who have gotten footholds in the region now.

MH: What about representing more artists who are based in the region?
GS: That is now my mission. Now I want to represent a decent number of overseas artists…in Australia on an ongoing basis. I want the mix more balanced. Now that we’ve consolidated into the one space… everything we’ve wanted has now happened. Now I want to start bringing more artists back to show in Australia.

MH: Would it make sense to open a gallery in, for instance, Tokyo?
GS: I wouldn’t do it. Not at my age or stage of life. I’m looking forward to grandchildren and I’ve got a 35-year-old marriage as well. But apart from that I also do believe that the art business is enormously personal… and I don’t think you could do it justice running from country to country, from gallery to gallery.

MH: How long do you see the gallery continuing?
GS: This is my seventeenth year and I’ve got a ten-year plan. I don’t think you could plan much further ahead than that, do you?

Neil Balnaves: Finding his true religion - Art Collector

Issue 56, April - June 2011

Television executive Neil Balnaves is well known for his philanthropic activities in the arts. What is not so well known is that it took this collector decades to get religion. He talks to Helen McKenzie about his path to collecting while he is the middle of donating a swathe of moderns to his local regional gallery to make way for his burgeoning contemporary collection.

In his extraordinary home with sweeping views of Sydney Harbour Neil Balnaves confesses that as a child he “was dragged through art galleries, didn’t understand them and didn’t get any emotional attachment to art”. Then later in his adulthood he was also “dragged through art galleries,” by his wife Diane. With a wide grin he adds: “I rebelled, for a about 20 years, and then I surrendered and got religion.”

Blue Heelers, Police Rescue and Water Rats are just some of the television productions that Balnaves’s company Southern Star produced in the 1990s. Then in 2000 along came Big Brother, a joint production with the Endemol Group. Balnaves’s success on the small screen enabled him to set up a philanthropic foundation in 2006, which annually makes available $2 million in grants to hand-picked medical and artistic ventures. Balnaves says: “We do not give the money and walk away, we tend to be more proactive than that. Usually the grants are to do with establishing a niche and growing it. It takes time and effort.”

Sculpture is clearly a stand out feature of the Balnaves family home. Alexander Seton’s work is well represented from the suite of bean bags in the main sitting room, to a t-shirt casually hanging outside as if to dry, and the black Belgian marble rubbish bag near the kitchen that looks like it is waiting for someone to take it out. Works by Robert Klippel, Alasdair Macintyre, May Barrie and a seedpod by Bronwyn Oliver (slightly misshapen by the grandchildren) are given prominence. These works also reflect Balnaves’s pleasure in supporting sculpture in Australia, an area of art that he feels had not been thoroughly exposed. He is currently working with Elisabeth Murdoch on the McClelland prize. Balnaves says: “We have come together to pump money back in to it to make it remain the premier park.”

Over the past six years Balnaves has amassed prized historic works depicting the Mosman area. Later this year he will part with all 21 of them. Works by Sidney Long, Arthur Streeton, Elioth Gruner, Henry Fulwood, Margaret Preston, Julian Ashton and Ethel Carrick Fox will be given to the Mosman Art Gallery. Balnaves hopes the works will “inspire kids to look at art as a window to history, or to the future – whatever the window needs to be to encourage art and interest in the local community, so that you can say this is what it looks like today and this is what it looked like then.”

Waiting in the wings, wrapped in brown paper and leaning against the walls are the replacement works for when the collection for Mosman is moved out. They are contemporary works. It is clear that this is the direction that Balnaves art religion is heading. Ben Quilty, Tony Clark, Rosalie Gascoigne, Michael Zavros, Louise Hearman and Marc de Jong, among others, are already represented in his collection. Balnaves says with a laugh: “I could be negative and say that the collection is disjointed or haphazard – there is no central theme, but it really is a collection that reflects where my thoughts are at the time, it’s a personal view about things.”

Alan Constable
An older artist who has been part of Arts Project Australia, an artist run initiative for outsider art that is close to Fay’s heart, Alan Constable has become a well-known painter and ceramicist in mainstream circles, including as a finalist in a number of major art awards. While the subject matter of his paintings can be serious, his use of colour and form imbue his work with a sense of joy. “He’s simply amazing,” says Fay.

Muse: Life Before (and After) (and During) the Digital Revolution

John Miller: Untitled (01-22-15), from the series “The Middle of the Day,” color photograph, 6½ by 9 inches. Courtesy Metro Pictures, New York.

On a recent trip, I picked Nancy Meyers’s new film The Intern as my in-flight movie. It includes a scene that’s become an obligatory trope for feel-good stories about seniors learning to cope with their diminished role in the social order: a millennial shows an aging boomer how to use Facebook. We in the audience are supposed to cheer, “Great! Now you’ll be with it! Problem solved!” I thought to myself, “The opposite is true.”

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a Luddite. Rather, it’s because I’m so irrevocably immersed in various electronic technologies that I reject them—at least as a symbolic gesture. I know this is only a small, hypocritical protest, just like that of friends who refuse to use Microsoft products or to carry the latest smartphone. Now, the tyranny of gadgets always wins. But to put it in other, more positive terms, what inspires me is the continuity of time or, more precisely, the experience of this continuity. And, as various metrics increasingly dominate everyday life, the shared understanding of unbroken time is diminishing.

I grew up in a small village in Ohio, one with an unusual name: Chagrin Falls. (It turns out that it’s an anglicization of the Native American place name Shaguin, meaning “clear water.”) For much of my childhood, our family, headed by a single mother, had very little money. We spent several years on “relief,” which would later be called welfare. But my brother and I never felt deprived. Instead, because our mother had to work outside the home, most days we were left to our own devices. This was an incomparable opportunity. Back then, large parts of our township had not yet been developed. We were free to roam, not only the streets and backyards but also the woods and fields, completely untrammeled.

Mornings typically began with us heading down to the Triangle—which was the town square—to watch the village come to life. A day might be spent walking up the Chagrin River (on the lookout for water moccasins, of course) or building a structure out of branches and rocks, scrounging for forgotten change in parking meters and telephone booths or hunting for arrowheads (still to be found) or salamanders. Playing with sticks and mud gave me a good sense of “materials.” In fact, this was my first—and most influential—lesson in sculpture. Most important, however, was the unhindered expanse of time and space that lay before us.

During the summer I experienced this most intensely. As soon as school was out, I discarded my shoes for two or three months. It took about a week or two for my feet to toughen up for going barefoot. With the Fourth of July came trepidation. Summer was already half gone! My most hated school assignment ever was the insect collection due the first day of school. I hated killing bugs in jars with lighter fluid–soaked cotton balls. I hated sticking them on pins and labeling them. Most of all, I hated that the demand to do these pointless things (why not look at live bugs under a tree instead?) encroached on my summer.

As the years passed, the magnitude of summer became relative. Deadlines began to loom. I was required to manage things and realized that others were required to manage me. I found ways to compensate. I finished all of my graduation requirements before my senior year in high school. That way, I could spend most of my time in the art room. When the assistant principal noticed, sensing a scam, he called my mother immediately. Luckily, she backed me up. No rules were broken, so there was nothing Wade G. Roby could do about it. At the same time, I was reading the Yippie Jerry Rubin’s book Do It! “We know what freedom is when we hear the bell dismissing school. ‘School’s out, I’m free at last!’” Now I’m a teacher.

The summer before I entered college, I worked on the Chagrin Falls Township road crew. The monotony was overwhelming. It was my first encounter with dead time. I had had other jobs, like a paper route—where I could do as I pleased—but here I was stuck, eight hours a day, under the watchful eye of a foreman. My next summer job was working in a plant that produced injection-molded plastic parts, mostly for Mr. Coffees. I circled a row of machines, all operated by women, climbing ladders and pouring plastic pellets into hoppers on one side and sealing the parts into boxes stacked on pallets on the other. The interior of the factory was gray cinderblock. I would glance longingly out the open door in the back at the hazy bushes slowly swaying in the August heat.

Going to art school represented another attempt to reclaim time on my own terms. I entered the Rhode Island School of Design in the fall of 1972. No one cared about grades. Financial aid was plentiful. A merciful dysfunction prevailed. Artistic training was a kind of mummery. I decided to major in video art. I worked with a Sony Portapak on half-inch, open-reel videotape. But my medium was time. Like everyone else then, I made “real time” videos. I started wearing a watch and regularly encoded “time” onto magnetic tape. Thus, I became complicit in my own repression. My point, I suppose, is that technology inevitably overtakes experience, and there’s no going back. Perhaps the clock, by seeming to cut time into interchangeable units, was the first device to do this.

Upon graduating with an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 1979, I quickly discovered I had no marketable job skills. So I taught myself to type and parlayed that into what was then a brand new skill: word processing. I registered with a temp agency that sent me to law offices, advertising firms, and banks. The machine I used was called a Vydec, produced by the Exxon Corporation: a Star Trekian console that threw off considerable heat. It was also the first system to use magnetic floppy disks, produced by IBM, to store data. Companies typically call in temps when their work flow is jeopardized: “Our word processing technician has arrived!” If temp work served as a way to convert time into money, at least I didn’t have to do it full-time.

In 1994 I started a series of photographs that is ongoing: “The Middle of the Day.” I shoot these between noon and 2 p.m., which is my least favorite time of day. These pictures can depict anything, but the subject is time, an apictorial abstraction. But they don’t capture time; they are husks, the shed-off skin of time. Concerning photography, the camera, and apparatuses, Czech philosopher Vilém Flusser wrote, “Nothing can resist the force of this current of technical images—there is no artistic, scientific or political activity which is not aimed at it, there is no everyday activity which does not aspire to be photographed, filmed, videotaped.” 1 The photo, the camera, the apparatus, etc., destroy time—or at least the experience of its continuity.

The first smartphones went to market in 1994. Such phones gradate time into ever finer interstices. They are constant. They are cybernetic devices par excellence. Yet if the mobile phone once appeared as a status symbol, as in Oliver Stone’s 1987 Wall Street (where Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas, carries one the size of a quart of milk), the ubiquitous smartphone now seems a bit proletarian. Everyone uses one. They’ve also reconfigured a whole genre of critical discourse: that of the cyborg.

I see three phases in this discourse. In the first, typified by Dada and sci-fi images, the cyborg is a violent hybrid, produced under an Orwellian regime. The image of grafting skin onto metal captures the shock of this. In the second phase, typified by Donna Haraway’s “A Cyborg Manifesto” (1985), this incipient violence is reclaimed under the banner of liberation. Only the mutant is truly free. In The Cyborg Handbook (1995), for example, academics of all persuasions proudly lay claim to the honorific title of cyborg. Here, the expectation is that technological mutation will transcend gender, and thus sexual repression. In the third phase, characterized by handheld devices, the term, along with any recognizable mutation, disappears. Instead, the masses enter a cybernetic relationship to the world without even being aware of it. Desire is automatic, as are the effects of the sought-after technology. It is no longer necessary to transform the subject’s body to produce this cybernetic relationship; it is only necessary to insert that subject into a functional network. For this reason, we repeat the phrase “in search of lost time” ever more poignantly. Sticks and clay. Go for it!

The Kingdom of Thailand is situated at the centre of the Indochinese peninsula in Southeast Asia. Its immediate neighbours include Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia. The present king of Thailand is Bhumibol Adulyadej, Rama XI and the nation is currently governed by a military junta that took power in May 2014. Thailand is the world’s 51st largest country, but it is the 20th most populous country. About 80 percent of the population is ethnically Thai, and those of Chinese heritage make up 14 percent of the population.

Thailand experienced rapid economic growth in the late 1980s, which led to it becoming a major exporter of goods such as automotive parts, cement and agricultural products. Some 49 percent of the Thai labour force is employed in agriculture or agricultural-related jobs; however, this number has dropped in the past ten years from what was a record high of 70 percent in 1980. Thailand is also home to a large community of expatriates, with approximately 2,000 foreigners residing in the country, mostly originating in Europe or North America.

STS-101 Mission Status Report #14

The seven STS-101 astronauts are spending their final full day docked to the International Space Station as they prepare for undocking Friday evening. When Atlantis undocks tomorrow evening, it will leave behind a refurbished orbiting facility, operating at a higher altitude and featuring new electrical and communications components. The station is now primed and ready to receive the next major piece of the station, the Zvezda Service Module, when it is launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan between July 8-14. Commander Jim Halsell, Pilot Scott Horowitz and Mission Specialists Mary Ellen Weber, Jeff Williams, Susan Helms, Jim Voss and Yury Usachev were awakened at 3:11 p.m. CDT. Today's wakeup song -- "Don't It Make You Wanna Dance" by Jerry Jeff Walker -- was played at the request of Williams' son and family.

The main task of the day will be completing the transfer of gear and supplies to the station. In the first three days of transfer activities, the crew has moved more than 3,000 pounds of material onto the station.

The third and final reboost maneuver began a few minutes ago at 6:36 p.m. CDT. Like the two previous reboosts, Atlantis' reaction control system jets will be fired 27 times over a 58 minute period to gently raise the station. At the end of tonight's reboost, it is expected that the station's average altitude will have been raised by 27 statue miles.

The astronauts have completed all battery work on the station. The third battery that was replaced has completed its recharging and testing and has been put back online supporting station operations. The fourth and final new battery will begin its recharge later this evening and will be back online before Atlantis undocks tomorrow evening.

Shortly before they begin exiting the station for the final time, Halsell, Horowitz and Weber will take a few minutes to conduct a trio of interviews with three news organizations -- CBS Newspath, Fox News Network and KTBS-TV in Shreveport, LA -- starting at 9:11 p.m. CDT.

Just before 11:30 p.m., Halsell and his crew will reverse the steps they used when they entered the station Monday evening, closing each of the five hatches associated with station components or transfer tunnels. The overall process of closing out the station and preparing for undocking is expected to take about two hours to complete.

Everything remains on schedule for undocking on Friday evening at 6:07 p.m. CDT. Atlantis will perform a one half revolution of the station, before the final separation burn is initiated. Atlantis remains on track for a landing back at Kennedy Space Center at 1:18 a.m. CDT on Monday, May 29th.

The Inner Struggle

Like numerous school districts across the country, the Kansas City, Missouri School District struggles with issues such as old buildings, lack of funding and the pressures of being an inner-city district. Added to that is a public perception that is not always positive. But, with forward-thinking attitudes and long-range goals, administrators are trying to stay focused on the important task of making the best decisions possible for the students.

"The issues here in Kansas City are numerous. We are struggling with budget reductions; we are struggling with the notion of keeping our buildings in good repair," says Henry Williams, superintendent. "We are struggling with meeting the obligations set forth in our desegregation plan. We are dealing with issues associated with special curriculum and program needs that are brought to us by the community.

"The need to keep our buildings up-to-date and in a good state of repair is a new issue with us. We spent in excess of $600 million modernizing our buildings across this district, but did not build into our budget the resources to keep the buildings maintained structurally as we should have. We've always been underfunded in that area. And, as these buildings age, we find that we have to put more money into repairing to keep them state-of-the-art."

The age-old question About one-half of the buildings in the district are World War I vintage or older, built in the real growth of Kansas City from 1915 to 1922. Some students attend school in buildings that were built at the turn of the century.

"We've always been underfunded related to infrastructure and replacement of infrastructure," says William M. Threatt Jr., associate superintendent. "We still have over a $100 million problem that we are aware of as far as infrastructure is concerned."

In addition, new construction is way down in the district. Unlike its suburban counterparts, the district student population has stabilized over the last three to four years. "We have seven major projects underway at the moment; they range from $1.5 to $5.5 million, and that's way down," says Threatt. "But if you go back three years at this time, we had over $200 million under construction, and that was in the mainstream of construction."

Finding support The suburbs surrounding Kansas City have been flooded with people moving into the area. Funding is not such a critical issue in those areas, as the majority of parents and the community are giving education a high priority. But this district has not felt that attitude. In addition, the district is dealing with massive budget cuts related to a phased desegregation plan.

"The school district hasn't passed a funding issue for the Kansas City, Missouri School District since 1968, so that's one of the problems," says Threatt. "It's a very unique situation here in Kansas City. You have 13 school districts withinthe city limits of Kansas City, and we serve the largest of those in terms of student population, but it's also the inner-city portion, and the poorest in terms of any barometer."

Without community support, it is hard to find the resources to get back on top. "The voters just have not been kind," says Threatt. "In just the last elections, there was a statewide referendum that permitted the school district to keep the tax levy where it is, but that was put on the statewide ballot. There was a lot of fear, frankly, whether it would pass locally or not."

Effecting change The district does, though, have facilities to be proud of, including some award-winning buildings that passersby often overlook.

"When you've had the kind of publicity we've had as a school district, changing the com-munity's view and reaction to public education is not always easy," says Williams. "So I think what we have to do to change or persuade the public that they need to be more supportive of our schools is to change the image of the schools and how we operate publicly. We need to convince the public that we are serious about educating children. We are here for the children, and if this community is to provide what it is to produce quality graduates, we all have to be involved."

Giving back to the neighborhood is one way the district believes it can change public opinion.

"It means more community involvement at the site-based level," says Threatt. "It means going back as much as we can to the neighborhood-school concept and getting those that live in the immediate surroundings of the building involved with those buildings in community use."

"We're very proud that despite the fact that our image may not be what we want it to be publicly, we know that our teachers and administrators across the district have done one hell of a job at imparting the kinds of knowledge and skills to our students that they need to be successful in the 21st century," says Williams.

Selling an LLC Interest - Including Unexpected Tax Consequences, 1 CLE hour

First Run Broadcast: September 7, 2016
1:00 p.m. E.T. (60 minutes)

Transfers of LLC and partnership interest are common and their impact on the LLC/partnership, the transferor and transferee can be very complex.  The transfer may occur through a sale or exchange, as a gift as part of an estate plan, on the death of the holder, or through a redemption by the LLC/partnership itself.  Each has distinct tax consequences for the parties involved. There are also “disguised sales” where there’s a transfer of property generally to the entity and a distribution to the transferor but not in the form of a formal sale  These and many other transactions give rise to a thicket of (sometimes unexpected) adverse tax outcomes. This program will provide you with a practical review of the tax consequences of sales, exchanges, transfers, gifts and redemptions of LLC/partnership interests.

• Planning for the sale of LLC/partnership interests
• Sales, exchanges, redemptions and terminations
• Impact on transferor/seller – capital gain treatment & exceptions
• Treatment of transferee/buyer - gifts, sales, redemptions, death
• “Disguised sale” traps and techniques to avoid
• Installment sales of LLC/partnership interests
• Redemptions of interests by the LLC/partnership

Even so, critics set up claimed that Balance out The Herds's competition is built on misinformation. The 26 products looking for spear sensuous dysfunction are in point of fact distinct regional brands of the four main erectile dysfunction treatments, which themselves adhere to a be like mechanism.
Another statistic wielded nearby the campaigns order viagra professional sore nipples clomid after ovulation - the claim that 43% of American women secure a lustful dysfunction - has also come up covered by fire.

The New Belief Effort take outlet with the tenor sexual best online price viagra cipro and methadone dysfunction classification implemented by the American Psychiatric Connection (APA) in its 1980 edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Disorders (DSM), which envisions man's and procreant "dysfunction" as equivalents across four categories: procreative ask for disorders, carnal arousal disorders, orgasmic disorders and propagative pain disorders.

They wrangle that women's lustful problems are less physiological and genital-focused than men's, that "women conventionally do not separate 'have one's heart set on' from 'arousal,' women heed less back physical than egoistic arousal, and women's sexual complaints every so often focus on 'difficulties' that are wanting from the DSM.""The DSM takes an exclusively unique close to union, and assumes that if the physical parts work, there is no obstreperous; and if the parts don't vocation, there is a conundrum," summarize the campaigners.

• Yvette Gulliver with the AWPA Around Australia baton. (Johanna Hodge)
    Yvette Gulliver with the AWPA Around Australia baton. (Johanna Hodge)

The first Women Pilots’ Relay of Flight saw a commemorative baton passing between the hands of 72 female pilots as it made its way around 28,000km of Australian skies.

You know, it’s a funny thing about women. We don’t mind a chat. And once the chatting starts, it’s accepted practice to spread the circle out. It’s not long til the volume increases; many mouths now competing for air time; ideas racing full pelt towards the start line. It’s not chatting anymore. It’s down to business, and the girls are on a mission. Here’s where it can be dangerous to try and stop the flow. Think hot lava down a steep mountain.

OK, so there may have been a glass of wine involved at that initial meeting, but welcome to the birth of the first Women Pilots’ Relay of Flight. By the time you’re reading this, it’ll be all over bar the movie, but I’d like you to come along for a leg or two. In the world of females in Australian cockpits, this was gold.

The mission

As you’ve picked up, there was no official organisation conducting the relay, just an ever-growing squad of women pilots, many of whom happen to be members of the Australian Women Pilots’ Association (AWPA), who were happy to throw their weight behind cancer research and have a huge amount of fun in the process.

Starting from Avalon, Victoria, on 2 March, at the end of this year’s air show, each pilot was to pass the commemorative baton on to the next female pilot as it progressed anti-clockwise around Australia, passing through Victoria, NSW, Queensland, NT, WA, SA, back into Victoria and down to Tasmania. Here’s where it was to arrive at its final destination, Launceston, on 22 April in time for the start of the AWPA annual conference.

As I pen these words, the relay is only a third of the way through, but the volume level of the mob is now going through the roof. Progress reports to date indicate all expectations have been exceeded tenfold. The baton is on schedule so far, but it’s a wonder. There have been unverified reports of baton wielders taking the treasured item on wildly off-course diversions to nail a decent airport coffee en route. Its close cousin is known in the industry as a hundred dollar hamburger. There’s also the Victorian leg, launched by Peta Denham-Harvey, which had to be divided into three or four take-offs and landings to accommodate the number of pilots wanting to fly – gotta love that. Suspect photographic evidence has also come to light of ground time being put to dubious use in devising new roles for the baton, including a Moet bottle stop, a tug-o-war prize and a novel throttle extension. I did say ground time.

Lunacy aside, each pilot has taken care of the logistics, and substantial costs, for her individual leg of the relay, in many cases handing the baton over to the next pilot whom she’s never met before. That’s about 30 new friendships made so far.

Relay welcomes Fly Navy

A thrilling inclusion in the relay was the Royal Australian Navy’s Fleet Air Arm, based at HMAS Albatross in Nowra, NSW. They went to extraordinary lengths to avail personnel and aircraft for the event, and to grant the necessary approvals required on base for our visiting civilian aircraft.

Having flown the C182 down to Moruya on the NSW south coast to receive the baton off ACT pilot Jan Goodhew, who’d received it from Kreisha, it was the mission of me and great flying buddy, Catherine Fitzsimons, to fly it up to the military base at Nowra. With clearances earlier sorted, the hospitality given to us by the Navy was staggering. Commanding Officer HMAS Albatross, Captain Simon Bateman, was gracious in his welcome, surrounded as he was by a sea of females. It was great to see a dozen young girls from Nowra Anglican College amongst the crowd mingling with the Navy pilots and asking a hundred questions about an aviation career in the Defence force.

So the baton was safely handed over to four of the most capable pairs of hands in the business: Lieutenant Sally Malone, Qualified Helicopter Instructor at 723 Squadron, 816 Squadron’s LEUT Tammielee Moffatt, Lieutenant Commander Natalee Johnson and Lieutenant Natalie Davies. To say it was a privilege to meet these young women is a dire understatement.

Taking the opportunity to get to know one another over dinner that night, Sally, Catherine and I hardly came up for air;  lava flow in full working order. I was quietly shaking my head when Sal shared with us the challenges of overseas duty, like the night deck work, landing her Seahawk heli on a tiny target on the deck of the mother ship (an Anzac class helicopter frigate) that was pitching and rolling in the dark. (Lord, pass me the blood pressure pills. I’ll never complain about windy circuits at Camden again.) But here’s the thing, with GA being a world apart from Sally’s experience, she was equally inspired by Catherine’s account of her four-month adventure, flying her little C172 solo around Australia. Watch this space - maybe we could entice Sal out to the Windorah yabby races?

The following day was nothing short of awesome.  At the controls of an AS350BA Squirrel helicopter, Sally flew the next leg of the relay in company with an MRH-90 helicopter piloted by Tammielee and an S-70B-2 Seahawk from 816 Squadron. (I guess the Navy wanted to make sure they didn’t lose the baton.) The spectacle of these three impressive aircraft making their way down Sydney Harbour in such a show of support for women in aviation will be hard to forget.

“The FLYNAVY team were so excited to participate in the relay,” says Sally, “by flying up the beautiful south coast, over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and into Bankstown Helicopters. It was fantastic to see four out of the five Navy female pilots involved. The Fleet Air Arm also has seven female Aviation Warfare Officers and one female air crewman so it was important for us to promote the varied roles of women within Naval Aviation. It was a privilege to be able to bring together our female maintainers, engineers, writers, Ship's Warrant Officer and support staff at the arrival of the baton at HMAS Albatross and during the flight to Bankstown. Thank you for the opportunity of meeting some amazing women and sharing some incredible flying stories!”

And all I can say is if these women are an example of our Navy expertise, we’re in good hands.

Sunrise cruising

So, time for another baton change, another aircraft and another crew. Massive thanks must go to Bankstown Helicopters who donated the use of an R44 heli for helicopter pilots, Sandy Taylor and Joanna Murphy to ferry the baton up to Cessnock.

Female world champion balloon pilot, Nicola Scaife, took the prize for giving the baton its most cruisey leg, drifting over the gorgeous Hunter Valley at dawn. “Ballooning is completely weather dependent,” said Nicola, “and I was happy to get our flight away as there were strong winds forecast for later in the morning. We gathered early, an hour before sunrise, and had a beautiful 40min flight. Our top speed was nine knots and we travelled all of 1.5 nm! The highlight for me was meeting new friends and introducing them to a very different form of flying.”

Down to work

Plenty of the girls dodged strong winds or fading light to keep the plan on schedule; all had a Plan B up their sleeve and impromptu overnight stays took care of any no-go weather. Floatplane pilot, Judy Hodge’s return flight to Port Macquarie was a race against the wind. With a front on its way, she could see over her shoulder the telltale darker colour on the ocean surface some 5nm behind. So, abandoning plans to make a halfway stop for a radio interview, she pointed the nose for home base and had her beloved Cessna 182P out of the water and safely tied down in time to meet the next posse of pilots, Tam Augostin, Margie Sullivan, Leonie Mason and Cathy Hobson who all stayed the night and that’s about where I stop reporting.

Since signing up for the relay, 18-year-old commercial pilot Yvette Gulliver had been frantically studying for her Diploma in Aviation instructor rating at Basair in Cessnock NSW. Yvette and her pax scored postcard views as she skimmed up past the Gold Coast beaches at 500 ft. “It was just an amazing experience meeting so many other women pilots,” she said, “hearing their stories, and getting to share this with my mum.” Starting to hear a theme here?

By mid-March that hard-working baton had done some serious miles in the air, and was making its way up the Queensland coast. It had already passed through the hands of over 20 pilots in Cessnas, Pipers, a float plane, hot air balloon, Robinson heli, the Navy Squirrel and a tiny Foxbat. The welcome mat had come out at airstrips wherever the girls landed, and local radio stations and press had jumped onboard to give the relay the exposure it deserved.

The connection with cancer is a familiar story for most of the women. Early champions in the fundraising race, the “Foxy Ladies” team of pilot Heather Haynes, and student pilot, Nathalie Gochel, flew Caboolture to Bundaberg in a Foxbat on International Women’s Day, 8 March.

“Our flight was challenging with low cloud and mist the whole way,” said Heather. “We had a support team of no fewer than four aircraft, all of whom donated their time, aircraft, fuel and services to the relay effort. The generosity and support of all the people we were in contact with is unsurmountable. In my 20 years of flying and at the age of 63, this would have to be the biggest highlight of my flying years.”

Flying kangaroo signs up

As the route was being put together, ex flight instructor and charter pilot, Margie Sullivan was telling me about Qantas’ involvement. It seems we had a gap in the relay up in north Queensland. Unlike the southern capitals which are comparatively teeming with women pilots (if you know where to look), in FNQ they’re a bit lighter on the ground.

So the jungle drums got going and next minute, Haidee Wong is all over this. Haidee is a Qantas First Officer based in Perth and arguably the reigning queen of any given lava flow. She put the word out to her female colleagues in FNQ and .. Bingo! She was inundated with offers from female captains and first officers based at QantasLink Cairns (which, happily, has one of the largest concentrations of female pilots in Australia) to fly the baton. Without a single roster change, they added the baton as a VIP guest on, at last count, seven QL flights out of Cairns, a sort of extended tropical safari for a good cause. Qantas Captain, Kristie Casey, got the ball rolling, giving it a seat on QF2306 Mackay-Townsville on 10th March, then she passed it to Bek Klukowski who tucked it into her nav bag for her early morning flight next day to Cairns.

From here, the baton was passed through the skilled and feminine hands of crews on QL flights to Weipa, Hamilton Island, Mt Isa, Horn Island, then throughout the Torres Straits with Christy Lee from local charter company, Westwing Aviation. Ever the tropical tourist, it was even to be making a short international diversion as Shelley Kent, the pilot of a PNG-bound service, offered to take the baton on her QL flight to Port Moresby.

So the flying kangaroo was on board, big time. Over in WA, Haidee and colleague Skye Mules, FO on the B737-800, were delighted to each be pre-allocated flights between Broome, Perth and Adelaide. WA pilots like Wendy Mann, Chief Pilot at Geraldton Air Charter, signed up to do various local legs as well. To raise awareness of the relay, Qantas agreed to an in-flight PA announcement telling passengers about the relay and the cancer fundraising. Each female flight crew, with baton in hand, was planning to farewell passengers and collect any donations as they disembarked.

Another unstoppable team member, AWPA NSW President, Tammy Augostin reflected on these past months: “I felt this relay has brought together the reality of what being a member of AWPA really means for me. The friendships, unity and support for each other truly shine through. I revelled in the opportunity of supporting other pilots and to also remember my dad who I lost to cancer 18 years ago today. He was a gorgeous man who never got to fly with me, so now I have a beautiful chapter to remember him by, this relay.” Tammy is herself a cancer survivor.

So there it is. Cleared to land a hundred times, amidst a thousand laughs and plenty of hugs, through grey skies and blue, our cherished baton has earned a rest. Let’s acknowledge the spirit of adventure that got us all signed up and may the baton be passed on for many years to come. To any teenage girl with a pulse, who may not have thought about a career in aviation, let me tell you, there’s a spare seat up here, way up the front, with your name on it.

Thor Trucks ET-One is ready to take on the Tesla

A lot of people seems to be having a thing for the Norse mythical god. It was made popular by Marvel comics. As for the automotive industry, it was made popular by the new Volvos in the form of DRLs.

Today, there is a new one. The Thor Trucks’ ET-One aims to hammer down on the recently unveiled Tesla Semi. The LA start-up was founded by Dakota Semler – who comes from a family background of making military electronics and Wine.

Back to the truck, the ET-One is a prototype built from parts sourced from other tractor-trailers. For instance, the chassis is from a Navistar truck. Basically, a converted and modified diesel Semi. It claims to haul 80,000 pounds, and has a range of up to 300 miles (around 482 km). The powertrain options range from 300-700 hp, sourced from TM4.

The battery pack is a lithium-ion cylindrical cells, and claims to have the highest energy density.

Compared to its competitors, not only Tesla, but others too who are developing electric Semis, Thor Trucks is small with just 18 employees.

“We wanted to show the world that you don’t have to be a big original equipment manufacturer, like a Ford or GM, or a tech mogul with deep pockets to start making progress in this space. With no outside funding, we assembled a team of experienced, gutsy, and passionate engineers and went to work researching and designing the ET-One in-house. This meant rearranging and retrofitting old chassis, experimenting with new battery design, and constantly iterating on our learnings. It was scrappy, it was challenging, but it was also fun. And now we have an electric semi that is on the road and is on its way to being cost-competitive with (and much simpler and more stable from an engineering perspective than) the diesel guzzlers that currently dominate the heavy-duty fleet space,” says Semler in his blog.

Also, the Bloomberg interview below is pretty cool too –
