In Finland, Valentine's Day is called the "Friend's Day" and as the name indicates, this day is more about remembering friends, not significant others. The day has no romantic content, instead people send cards and gifts to their friends. Valentine's Day celebration came to Finland quite late which might be the reason why it led to it's unique interpretation. Since I'm living merged between two cultures I celebrate it both the Finnish and American way. I mean, can you ever have too many celebrations in life? Therefore we had a little get-together with friends listening to Finnish music, eating Scandinavian candy from Sockerbit, eating cake and snacks.
We baked organic chocolate cake and made a really easy raspberry sauce from frozen raspberries and a tad of coconut water.

What is spot UV?

Home/Print Blog/What is spot UV?

What is spot UV?

Getting your print to stand out from the crowd can be difficult. However, there are certain finishing applications that can be applied to your printing that will enhance either your business card, flyers or folders. Spot UV is a gloss varnish that is applied to the print after it has passed through the printing press. With some more advanced printers, the spot UV can be applied at the same time. It is applied before the print is trimmed so you can also bleed the spot UV to the edge of the page.

Spot UV does have its limitations; it can only be applied to heavier stocks so you can’t apply it to a batch of flyers on leaflets printed on a 170gsm paper. You can only apply it to thicker boards starting at about 250gsm. It also has a minimum thickness that you can use it at – normally down to 1mm.  And, because it is a varnish it is susceptible to cracking along folds. Therefore, when you’re designing the position of the spot UV, where the fold is to be applied, leave a space of between 1-1.5mm either side of the fold where you break the area of spot UV. If you’re intending to use spot UV on a folder or a folded thick flyer, we recommend asking the advice of a professional graphic designer or printer as they will be able to advise you in the best way possible to avoid any cracking.

The effects you can create with spot UV can be stunning and enhance the quality of your brand. The two main ways where spot UV is used to maximise its effects are:

  1. Use the spot uv as a stand alone design element.
    Against a dark background the spot uv is extremely visible and stands out. Maybe create a section of your logo in spot uv or create a material pattern to give your print a textured feel.
    Against a white back ground you can create a subtle effect exudes quality and attention to detail.
  2. Use spot uv to enhance design elements.
    You can use spot uv over the top of images and or text. Don’t forget spot uv is a gloss varnish, so against a Matt laminated print, the gloss shines through. Therefore when applied over the top of images or text, the gloss effect will reflect the light more making the images and text come alive.
    Caution should be applied if you are trying to cover thin text because a 1mm movement in the spot uv process will put the spot uv just to the side of your text, instead of over the top. Ask a professional designer/printer for advice.
    Spot uv is available on the following products on our website:
    Business cards

However, we can also supply spot UV on thick flyers/showcards, postcards, thick folded leaflets and booklets. Unfortunately, these are not available through our website but will be in the near future.

If you have any queries about your print, spot UV or would like a quotation for printing, please contact us.

Battersea's big hearted people clean up their town centre at Clapham Junction, after awful rioting and looting last night

posted 9 Aug 2011, 08:27 by Love Battersea   [ updated 9 Aug 2011, 08:46 ]
Those who have walked through Clapham Junction today, most of which has been closed off, will have seen at least 3-500 people called together mostly via twitter, armed with brooms, dustpans, bin bags and more, ready to take their community's streets back and clean them up after the most disgraceful scenes of mob violence and looting ever witnessed by Battersea.

If ever there was a sign that Battersea has great spirit and a fantastic sense of community, this was it.

Many news sites have been reporting this, but here are a few select ones:

BBC report:

Film on YouTube:

Sky News:

Daily Telegraph:
- luckily this story can be happily corrected: after concerted discussions with the Police, local Battersea MP Jane Ellison and Council Leader Ravi Govindia managed to open up the first of the streets around Clapham Junction for the "Battersea Broom Army" to get to work on cleaning up. They have now cleared the entirety of St John's Road.

And down in St John's Road the clean up comes to a successful conclusion thanks to the very hard work of local people and the Council's street cleaners:

Even Boris turned up, clutching his own broom:

Tombstones For Eyes

Mario Vitale

07 Jun, 2017 03:18 AM
We search for solace amidst the crowd to appease
 One day we shall all bow humbly to our knees
 The land is dark without the sun to light
 When this life is over there is no double feature
 Shades of black decorated the plate of mast
 Silence etched it's beckoning call asunder
 Tombstones for eyes does this come at a big surprise
 Can't we ever see through the devil's lies
 We live in a land where cash is king
 No chance at heart to let the freedom ring
 In silence we get a glimpse of what it is to come
 Blackened hearts of evil that plug destruction

Gothic Darkness

Mario Vitale

07 Jun, 2017 03:16 AM
Pillars in light fashionable decorum sets the standard
 Those high rise structures with heavenly interior
 The holy oblation lead to the ultimate construction
 In matters of trust we can maintain a humane aura
 A heart that devised the good of humanities stake & claim
 An old lady named Grier used to live in it's dwelling
 A structure well kept yet needs a fix up with the plumbing
 Grier used to frequent her yard with it's barbed wire fence
 Tragedy had claimed her late husband's life that left her alone
 She carries on with a smile in her lone desolation
 A mere place for rest like a long awaited vacation
 With sincere love in her heart she would often sing

Deadly Bean-site Coffee

How she sucked every last bean
the blackest meanest Goth.
She froze with terror the color spilled deep Darth.
And next to her was a big burly Football player.

Sipping her erotically boiling coffee.
He's the slayer.
Her body deadly slim he played her
 She kept to herself not wanting to speak to him.
She could have blasted his balls within.
These guys did horrible things to those girls.

When in time he will be no more

 with intense pain the magic of his passion is gone

 Demonic beings inflict their madness on you

Creeping and crawling away in the dark,
Something is living within my heart.
High beyond the attic door,
There is a creature who screams with a mighty roar.

Writing alone in the dark by candlelight,
It whispers to me and gives me the frights.
Its horrifying tales are filled with gore,
Oh, how I wish I could write no more.

These dreaded tales of a world no more,
I am imprisoned by this wretched whore.

Fading from withered leaves,
the silence lulls on.
And in that silence, the dormouse sleeps
caressing her dreams from beyond.

Lachrymose behind her closed eyelids
cascades her cheeks sadly,
but she watches the silhouettes of sailing ships
with magic from her loveless fairies.

Decadence embraces her quiet voice,
her throat writhing in agony.

Resolutions and Renewals

Happy happy happy 2011! A whole new year to re-invent yourself healthy or to re-commit to your healthy lifestyle that may have gotten caught under too much fruitcake (like mine did.) Here are my goals for 2011 so I can track my progress as the year unfolds.

1. To train for and complete a charity walk. That means lots of walking, cardio-conditioning and lower body strength training. I'm leaning toward the 10K Classic held in Atlanta every Labor Day.

2. Work on my meeting my two closet goals, which means back into fat loss mode. I will be sure to post photos as and when.

3. In 2010 we got the office project completed, now we're going to turn our sights on the second guest room. We are going to get the bed set up, install new shades, decorate and get it "guest ready."

4. Continue to embrace and refine my healthy habits, eat colorful at every meal and continue to deal with stress in non-food ways.

What do you have planned for yourself in 2011?

  1. This year, I'm keeping my goal simple:
    Make better food choices for myself. I plan to eat more whole grains and fresh vegetables (both of which I enjoy anyway) and less of processed and/or fast foods (which I also enjoy, unfortunately).

  2. this is the year of the juicer!!!

SastoSat Update: Pixracer Hardware Description for Command & Data Handling

PixRacer Harnessing.
Photo Credits [HERE].
SastoSat is now on a roll as I just managed to purchase a Pixracer clone from Aliexpress (SastoSat? [HERE]). The price was higher than I thought, which I initially calculated around KRW 76,943. I was thinking around the lines of KRW 50,000 but I still think it's value, for what hardware it packs in. I have that documented on the slides on the post.

Not that cheap but still value
If you are interested in building your own SastoSat, I have zipped folder of whatever I have done so far. Includes all the datasheet of the components discussed below, BOM, copy of the presentation slide and information on DIY 10,000 class clean room. I will be needing that after the EQM.

Paint! Blah.

Thanks to all the extra hands who helped us work on the paint situation at our new place!  It seems that as this week continues to unfold it is just one thing after the next in terms of unpredictability.  The light blue color for the top half of Jacob’s room was being sucked in by the walls and as a result needed two coats of paint so the darker blue color couldn’t be started today….then the color that Mike and I picked out for the living room turned out WAY darker then it looked in Home Depot so it’s definitely going to take some clever lighting to help me get use to it.  The living room is about half done with the first coat and will also need a second coat tomorrow so it seems that another day of painting is in store for everyone tomorrow, kinda sucks and is not where I wanted to be at the end of today but I can’t complain because everyone worked very hard and was super helpful – stupid paint just didn’t do its part!  I’m hoping that by tomorrow afternoon we’ll be heading to Ikea to pick up the chair rail that Danny is going to put up in Jacob’s room and then we can be off to Costco to pick up Jacob’s mattress before one last stop to purchase his big boy bed.  Mike has Monday off from work so I’m hoping we can spend that day carting stuff back and forth and start emptying out this old place….it’s going to need a lot of work before we can hand over the keys!

Mystics U14 undefeated in 6-team pre-season tournament

  Tuesday, September 19, 2017

The Mystics U14s had their first ever outing as a group last Saturday when they travelled down to Northampton to take part in a 6 team tournament organised by Northants Lightning.

The players were a real credit to the club both on and off court.

After an understandably jittery start in the opening game which saw us come from behind to sneak a 3 point win over Hounslow, Mystics settled down quickly and excellent team basketball resulted in very comfortable wins against Northants U13s, Southend, Northants U14s and Brentwood to end the day undefeated.

Mystics U14s next fixture is Sunday 24th September when they will go to Derby for a pre-season friendly.

SAVANNAH, Mo. — The Maryville Spoofhounds have had three practices as a complete team. They also have three wins and one championship over that same stretch.

The Spoofhounds came out strong on Saturday against Platte County in the championship game of the Savannah Invitational and never trailed in a 64-46 victory that marked the first time since 2009 that Maryville has won the Savannah Invitational.

“I think it shows how much talent we have on this team to come out here in our third game with only two or three practices together and be able to win by 20 points in the championship game of a tournament,” Maryville senior Eli Dowis said. “I just think it speaks to how talented we are and how high our ceiling is.”

The game started with a great sign for Spoofhound fans as Dowis hit a three to open the scoring. Dowis, a sensational all-around player, struggled with his three-point shot last year, but showed on Saturday that he worked hard on that aspect of his game over the summer and hit a trio of first-half threes.

“I played with the KC Pacers this season and the coaches there really helped me fix my jump shot,” Dowis said. “They helped me with my mechanics and it carried over to this game.”

After the Pirates briefly tied the game at three, Maryville junior Tate Oglesby scored, senior Creid Stoecklein hit a three and a Matthew Madden free throw gave the Hounds a 9-3 lead.

Maryville finished the opening quarter with a 17-13 lead as Jaden Hayes and Dowis added to the three-point barrage late in the quarter.

“It kind of feels like we are the Warriors with the way we get out and shoot so many threes,” Dowis said. “The way we can shoot the ball, I think it helps because we aren’t going to be the bigger team this year, but we will be the faster team.”

Oglesby took the game over in the second quarter as the Spoofhounds spaced the floor for the junior and he took advantage. Oglesby scored the first nine points of a 15-3 run for the Spoofhounds to extend the lead to 32-16.

“Things started to open up a lot,” Oglesby said. “Obviously we were feeling good about ourselves and scoring a lot of points. Once that happens, everything opens up.”

Platte County finally ended the run with a basket, but Dowis immediately came back down the floor with a three and another score.

The capper for the 22-5 quarter came as the clock was ticking down and Matt Stoecklein tried to call a set-play from last season, but with the limited practice they’ve had some of the players who weren’t on varsity last year didn’t know the play. With the confusion, Dowis ended up firing a very long three with five seconds left.

“It was a little bit of a heat check,” Dowis said.

But in what was a perfect summation of the first half, Dowis’ three bounced out, but Tallon Noland attacked the offensive glass and got the put-back for a 39-18 halftime lead.

Senior Tyler Houchin found his stroke in the third quarter with eight points including a pair of threes and the Hounds ended the period in style again. After the Pirates hit a free throw with three seconds left in the quarter, Maryville quickly inbounded to Dowis who immediately threw it ahead to Madden at midcourt, who turned and found Hayes, who knocked down a long three for a 56-30 lead at the end of the third quarter.

“They have played together for a long time and when one guy starts to get covered up then another guy starts hitting,” Matt Stoecklein said. “Who are you going to guard?”

The team was able to coast in the fourth quarter and get its bench plenty of action in route to the 64-46 win.

“It is scary what can happen when they start executing better and get in just a little better shape,” Matt Stoecklein said. “Hopefully they continue this trend throughout the season.”

Oglesby and Dowis each were selected to the all-tournament team as Oglesby had 17 points and Dowis had 15 in the championship game.

Houchin joined them in double figures with 10 — all in the second half — while Creid Stoecklein, Madden and Hayes each added six and Ben Walker and Noland each had two.

The Spoofhounds will travel to Benton on Tuesday to face off with the Cardinals in a non-conference contest.

Certified Elder Law Attorneys Serving New Jersey Residents Since 1978.

A personal care agreement can benefit New Jersey families

When a person's parents reach an age where they need help with their daily care activities, oftentimes their children step up and serve as caregivers. They do this out of love for their parents and, in general, do not expect to be paid.

However, this situation can become more difficult if an adult child must care for their aging parent for many years or if their parent's needs require professional support. Medicaid is often seen as an option for paying for long-term care. However, the care recipient cannot have more than $2,000 in assets if they are unmarried in order to qualify for Medicaid.

A caregiver in New Jersey might wonder if they could be reimbursed for the years of care they provided to their parent. However, retroactive payments like this are deemed to be a gift, rather than a reimbursement for services provided. Reimbursements can actually end up lengthening the amount of time a person needs to wait before they qualify for Medicaid.

However, there is a way a caregiver can receive compensation without affecting their parent's eligibility for Medicaid benefits which is through the execution of a written personal care agreement. This contract is between the parent and adult child. The agreement must be executed before the adult child begins caring for parents. It must detail what care services the adult child will provide for compensation and what services the adult child will not be compensated for. The agreement must explicitly state the rate of compensation provided and show how the compensation is comparable to that a professional caregiver in that area would charge. Both the parent and the adult child must sign and notarize the contract.

It is essential that the adult child maintains a log of what caregiving services they performed and when, and how they were compensated. This log serves as proof when their parent applies for Medicaid that these payments were in fact for necessary care services, rather than a means to simply reduce their assets.

Caring for an aging parent is an act of love, but eventually people can anticipate that professional care will be necessary. In situations like this, adults caring for their parent will want to give the matter some forethought and potentially execute a personal care agreement. However, in order to ensure the agreement does what they want it to, it can help to enlist the aid of an elder law professional.

Stone Foxes Have $60,000 Gear Stolen, Fans Respond | hypebot

StoneFoxesJust a day after their tour opened in at Sundown at Granada in Dallas, the San Fran-based rock band The Stone Foxes had their van and all of the gear swiped from the parking lot of a La Quinta Inn.

“Rough day folks, our whole rig, all of our gear, our van and trailer were stolen today. If you know anyone in the Dallas please let them know to be on the look out, thank you very much!” the band wrote in a social media post.

According to the Dallas Observer, the van and trailer were stolen after repairs were done to the trailer’s suspension, and contained more than $60,000 worth of road gear at the time of the theft. Per the Observer, the theft occurred sometime between 1 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. when the band’s frontman Shannon Koehler noticed it was no longer in the parking lot.

“You know what it feels like when your heart sort of drops?” he told the Observer. “I walked around the entire hotel and thought, ‘Oh sweet lord in heaven, these guys better be going to get gas.’”

Garland police spokesman Lt. Pedro Barineau told the Observer that investigators don’t have any evidence of serial car theft, but noted four vehicles have been stolen from the hotel’s parking lot in the last year.

Sammy Hagar To The Rescue

Since news of the theft broke, the band’s supporters have started a GoFundMe page to help them get back on their feet. Contributors include former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar, who boosted the visibility of the fundraiser with a tweet and made a generous donation of his own.

In the last 5 days $21,000 of a $45,000 goal has been raised.

We at MARC set up a booth in the trees toward the backside of the vendors so we could get some traffic. We enjoyed the day talking to people about Amateur Radio. Had some good write ups in the Meridian Star for about 3 days. One was from Steve Swogetinsky, editor of the Clarke County Tribune

We had VHF, HF, and Packet set up by Bill KD5ASR.

In Attendance were: W5OQY, W5MAV, K5BFN, KB5ASR, KA5TQV

A Thousand Marbles

Sent by KD5GWM.
May your Saturday mornings be special.
Thank you Donna.

The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable. A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the basement shack with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. What began as a typical Saturday morning, turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time. Let me tell you about it.

I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my ham radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net. Along the way, I came across an older sounding chap, with a tremendous signal and a golden voice. You know the kind, he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business. He was telling whomever he was talking with something about "a thousand marbles."

I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say. "Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you're busy with your job. I'm sure they pay you well but it's a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. Too bad you missed your daughter's dance recital."

He continued, "let me tell you something Tom, something that has helped me keep a good perspective on my own priorities." And that's when he began to explain his theory of a "thousand marbles."

"You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years." "Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900 which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime.

Now stick with me Tom, I'm getting to the important part."

"It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail", he went on, "and by that time I had lived through over twenty- eight hundred Saturdays. I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy." "So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round-up 1000 marbles. I took them home and put them inside of a large, clear plastic container right here in the shack next to my gear. Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away." "I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life. There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight."

"Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure if I make it until next Saturday then I have been given a little extra time. And the one thing we can all use is a little more time."

"It was nice to meet you Tom, I hope you spend more time with your family, and I hope to meet you again here on the band. 73 Old Man, this is K9NZQ, clear and going QRT, good morning!"

You could have heard a pin drop on the band when this fellow signed off. I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to work on the antenna that morning, and then I was going to meet up with a few hams to work on the next club newsletter. Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. "C'mon honey, I'm taking you and the kids to breakfast."

"What brought this on?" she asked with a smile. "Oh, nothing special, it's just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids.

 Hey, can we stop at a toy store while we're out? I need to buy some marbles."

This article originally appeared in Sports Illustrated, June 30, 1958.

How things have change? I hope you will take the time to read the complete article located at the following URL:

HR Online Editor's Note: The following information was true in 1958. Things are little different in 1996!

The Federal Government favors ham operations and has made it relatively easy to become a licensed radio amateur.

TO GET YOUR LICENSE: You must be an American citizen, must pass an FCC exam (about as hard as learning to drive). Cost: nothing. To prepare for exam get in touch with local ham club for details, or write the American Radio Relay League, La Salle Road, W. Hartford, Conn. and ask for How to Become a Radio Amateur and The Radio Amateur's License Manual Each costs 50¢.

Most newcomers to amateur start with the novice license (code speed five words per minute), good for one year only, then progress to the "general" classification (code speed 13 words per minute), good for five years and renewable indefinitely.

TO OUTFIT A STATION: You will need a receiver capable of covering popular ham bands (1.8-29.7 mcs.). Cost $29.94 (Heathkit AR-3, assemble and wire at home) to $695 Collins 75A-4). You will need a transmitter. Cost: $35.95 Heathkit DX-20, assemble and wire at home) to $2,095 (Collins KWS-1). You will need one or more antennas. A piece of wire between two trees with ordinary TV lead-in will work. Cost: pennies. Or it can be as elaborate as rotating beams for each band on a special tower. Cost: up to $2,000. Finally, you will need basic home tools such as a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, a knife, and a soldering iron.

WHERE TO BUY EQUIPMENT: If you cannot obtain the above-listed essentials, they can be ordered by mail from Harrison Radio Corp., 225 Greenwich Street, or Harvey Radio Co., 103 W. 43rd Street, both New York; from Allied Radio, 100 N. Western Avenue in Chicago; or from Henry Radio Stores, 11240 West Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles.

A new perspective on A.S.A.P.

Ever wonder about the abbreviation A.S.A.P.?

Generally we think of it in terms of even more hurry and stress in our lives. Maybe if we think of this abbreviation in a different manner, we will begin to find a new way to deal with those rough days along the way.

"There's work to do, deadlines to meet; you've got no time to spare, but as you hurry and scurry-

In the midst of family chaos, "Quality time" is rare. Do your best; let God do the rest-

It may seem like your worries are more than you can bear. Slow down and take a breather-

God knows how stressful life is; He wants to ease our cares, And He'll respond to all your needs

Today I’m saying a little prayer that GOD will smile on you and send you all the special blessings you deserve.

Have a great month

The Marblehead Racing Association

The Marblehead Racing Association (MRA) is a volunteer organization that is comprised of the Race Committee Chairs as well as designated representatives from the Boston, Corinthian and Eastern Yacht Clubs. The MRA is responsible for scheduling and coordinating both one-design and PHRF racing for each season.

The MRA committee fosters the long-standing relationship between the race committees of the three major clubs in Marblehead Harbor.  Members of the committee work with the representatives of each one-design fleet and with other Mass Bay PHRF members. The result of this effort is the coordinated schedule of races, as well as the Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions for each event, and the requisite permits for all these activities.  The MRA has also established safety procedures for on the water emergencies, set up judge and race management seminars for both its own constituency and for others in the Northeast Region, and conducted seminars on tactics and rules for those who participate in sailboat racing in Marblehead and Salem Bay.

MRA provides the race management liaison with NOOD, scores both large and small events as well as the overall racing season, and then awards trophies to those who succeed on the racecourse.

We are committed to ensuring that Marblehead continues to be one of the world's premier yacht racing venues. As such, we look forward to working with you to continuously improve the quality of Marblehead racing, while at the same time ensuring fun and safety for all competitors.

Post-Disney Depression

Drawing from a residency at Mana Contemporary, Miami in the summer of 2018, ‘Post-Disney Depression’ is a series I am currently expanding on.

Professional ‘mermaids’ are increasingly in demand in Florida’s luxury resort areas, earnings begin at a low wage of $10 an hour (based on reports in 2017). In Miami, I underwent a mermaid training course at an upscale hotel pool. Awaiting my lesson with two instructors, I squeezed my body into the elastic fishtail. My lung capacity was tested as I de-performed the Disney-Pop cartoon high femme sea-to-land princess in what I like to call high-femme-Pop-drag. In the re-animation of the character of ‘Ariel’, I question the flawed psychology propagated by Disney. The trauma of many people enduring decades of racism, sexism, genderism, ageism, consumerism and body shaming is sadly engendered through mainstream media (like Disney). As a womxn, mother and artist, I remain muted or exhaustively ”tread” in our contemporary landscape.

The training is physically & emotionally intense; my body responded awkwardly and opposite to what was being ‘taught’ to me as simple gestures. It became apparent that these two womxn practiced for many hours to perfect the mermaid moves. My wig floats away on impact, the fishtail rips exposing the natural curves of my calf, hand-sewn padded sea shells burst from my bra. With my ankles tied together, the mortal danger of drowning while giving a stylized expression to my bodily movements and holding my breath underwater, demonstrated my emotional attachment to the anthropomorphic form of the mermaid.

Eventually, I try to become this pelagic character. I ponder broader consequences of animal and human life, “pressed” by rising tides of environmental catastrophes along every coastline on Earth. The lively animation of this ‘living non-living thing’ reifies my experience of walking through dead coral reef remnants washed up along the Miami coastline just the day before. As both subjects came to meet in this space, the assertion I aim to make through this work is that we are continually confronted with the hardships and complexity of ‘real life’ amidst the framing of contemporary cultural politic. Could the recovery of the ecosystem be inadvertently linked to my desperate attempt at re-visioning childhood ideals? What kind of planet am I leaving for my child and future generations?

All companies need to see increasing income year on year to please investors and to fund their growth. A mounting need for microwave design, combined with skilled worker shortages, make seamless growth challenging. As a result, engineers in rapidly growing companies are faced with increased workloads, more diverse work and the requirement to work with other, perhaps unfamiliar parts of the company to achieve design goals.

To make growth easier to manage, seamless workflow between software design tools has become critical. For example, different departments in a company, which may be geographically separated, could be designing handset antennas, PCB layout, antenna drive circuits and interconnects. They may all need to communicate layout, circuit and EM data and, due to mergers, they may all have different tool vendors. So, how does a company ensure that an overstretched engineer does not have to redesign the wheel every time he works on a new or updated design?

CST has addressed these issues. Traditionally the company has supplied point tools for full wave microwave/RF design and optimization, but in recent years it has made its products fit centrally into the much wider design flow to address current requirements. Thus, the newly released CST STUDIO SUITE™ version 2008, incorporating CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® (CST MWS), is the most open and easily integrated tool ever released by the company.

Its customer centric approach is designed to focus on the company’s core 3D EM specialization and provide easy workflow to other ‘best in class’ tools. The following reveals how the suite has become not only a central part of the overall design process, but also a powerful tool with its own well defined internal workflow for solving multiple applications with the best turnaround times possible.

External Workflow

Figure 1 shows a typical workflow situation. Inputs may come from layout tools such as those supplied by Cadence (see Figure 2) or new in version 2008, Mentor Graphics. It may come from planar EM simulators such as Momentum or Sonnet or it may be in an interchange format like ODB++ or multilayer Gerber. Virtually all other mechanical formats are supported and, new to this version, other 3D EM formats are accepted.

Poor mechanical geometry and fault intolerant meshing have plagued the workflow in this sector for many years, causing frustration and delay at the first hurdle. Import healing and fault tolerant meshing have been big areas of research for CST and in the vast majority of cases, complex geometries are effectively healed and meshed without user input. Figure 3 shows the typical automatic healing process on import. The facets are removed on the pad and the trace is joined correctly.

Input may also come from the output of another EM tool. For example, new in version 2008 is the capability to import near field data from Sigrity’s Speed2000 or PowerSI tools. This means that a highly complex PCB stack-up can be simulated in Sigrity’s tool and the surrounding near field data exported to CST MWS. At this point radiation, coupling or proximity simulations can be carried out. A similar link is included to Simlab’s PCBmod tool, based on surface currents.

As well as importing layouts from external planar/circuit simulators, CST MWS allows co-simulation and co-optimization with circuit tools from AWR and Agilent. This essentially means that a block appears in the circuit schematic, greatly simplifying circuit/EM co-design. Workflow has also been improved to the closely coupled circuit tool CST DESIGN STUDIO™, with a new layout viewer and editor as well as tuning bars, time domain simulation, eye diagram tools and IBIS import.

On the output side, the company has always been strong in post-processing of data with clear and intuitive visualization and post-processing templates allowing automated dataset manipulation. Some new features in version 2008 are HSPICE creation, far field sub-ranges, near field sub-volumes and Smith chart table creation.

Internal Workflow

With increasingly diverse product lines and new requirements for EM characterization due to higher signal speeds, higher component densities and miniaturization, the need has arisen for more than one solver to address the vast range of 3D microwave/RF applications. This is because no one solver can solve all applications efficiently and in some cases, a solver will fail on an application entirely. As the solver choice can make significant differences in run time, it becomes essential to offer the choice to speed up overall workflow. Thus, version 8 offers a choice of solver to suit the application, while keeping a unified and class leading interface so that the solver selection is a push of one button.

The CST MWS time domain solver is improved in version 2008 and is a consolidation of major improvements made over the last couple of years. As will be described later, hardware acceleration has been introduced. The time domain solver is highly suited to very complex, multiband/broadband structures and is the most general-purpose solver in the suite.

The newer frequency domain solver achieves a high level of performance. For example, frequency domain solvers work by solving single frequency points and for broadband applications they have to solve many samples in order to build up an accurate response. Distribution of those frequency samples to multiple computers is now possible to give a much faster overall solve time. Frequency domain analyses can be done with either direct or indirect methods. CST MWS has both, and exhibits good speed and memory usage.

In particular the indirect solver has low memory usage for large models. The direct solver, which has advantages for smaller multiport structures, is now 20 percent faster with a 50 percent memory usage reduction over version 2006B. The frequency domain solver allows repeating unit cells to be created and these offer far field and RCS calculation based on Floquet modes. In general the frequency domain solver is well suited to phased-array design, electrically small and very narrow band devices.

Other solvers available include a fast resonant solver for high Q cavity filter design and a new integral equation solver for electrically very large structures such as airplanes or ships. Improvements to the integral solver in version 2008 include the ability to use a far field source to excite the structure and the implementation of lossy metals.

A thermal solver adds to the internal workflow within version 2008. Besides the thermal analysis of electromagnetic losses (dielectric and conductive) from CST MWS simulations, the deposed particle energy derived from CST PARTICLE STUDIO™ can be used as a heat source.

Hardware Acceleration

It is accepted that graphics cards (GPU) are significantly faster than CPUs when it comes to rendering extremely large numbers of pixels. What is not so well known is that the same technology can be applied to solve numerical problems to give an order of magnitude speed-up. CST has been working with Acceleware to bring this technology to CST MWS and it is now available in version 2008.

One of the key advances is that the method retains all the accuracy and mesh size reduction that arise from the use of the conformal Perfect Boundary Approximation (PBA).® The use of a GPU with this technique additionally gives a large speed injection to the most complex industry simulation problems. In other words, the bigger the problem, the greater the speed-up that is achieved.

This GPU hardware acceleration is available either as a PCIe card for the desktop or as a ‘cluster in box’ comprising two external cards, which bring capacity and speed benefits to those who may have thought their problems were simply too difficult for 3D analysis.

The company has also been working directly with Intel in high performance computing to optimize code performance on the latest generation of multicore Intel processors easily achieving a 200 percent + speed increase against previous generation processors.

Modeler Improvements

Some very useful additions to the main modeling interface have been added to version 2008 to further improve workflow. Windows Vista is fully supported (see Figure 4), as is Linux RedHat Enterprise, both on 32- or 64-bit platforms. A project management tool has been added to allow for easier file management and exchange of data.

This includes copy/paste of structure parts either within the same project or to other projects, import of CST DS layouts and sub models, thus allowing the creation of library components. Also, for maintained licenses and those connected to the Internet, automatic updates can be enabled ensuring the latest version is always on hand. As usual all update details are shown in the Help – history of changes menu.

An artistic improvement, but nevertheless one that allows quick recognition of materials, is the addition of true reflective materials. A graphic is reflected in the metal to give the real appearance of a shiny metal (see Figure 5). Other improvements to speed up workflow include arbitrary pick-points on surfaces and an update to the ACIS modeling kernel.

For version 2008 of CST STUDIO SUITE, external and internal workflow improvements have been the key focus. With easy data exchange to and from other software tools, a choice of first class solvers and a range of modeler usability improvements, the engineer is able to leverage the latest developments in 3D electromagnetics to bring designs to market faster and with lower risk.

Clay Pot Chicken!

Each clay pot is on its own heat source - which is a tapered cement cylinder in which they burn coal. Not charcoal - but actual coal. You take the pot to your table and take the top off and eat. Yum!

My observations on the cooking process - one scoop of rice and equal amount of (boiling) water. Return to boil, add chicken and cook covered. When liquid is mostly gone add another 1/2 cup of liquid (which looked like a dark oil - but probably a broth), a few squirts each from bottles of dark sauce (like soy and others), a few pieces of a sweet sausage, chopped scallions and cook some more. The tables had dishes with slices of fresh red chili peppers.

I used a slow shutter speed to capture this guy's frantic pace.

Midnight Poison by Christian Dior {New Fragrance} {Celebrity Perfume}

Dior will issue a new fragrance, the fifth in the Poison franchise, called Midnight Poison, not to be confused with Midnight Charm. Actress Eva Green (Vesper Lynd in "Casino Royal" and Isabelle in "The Dreamers") will be the face for the new scent. Green said.....

"she dislikes what she considers strong "old lady" scents and often goes without fragrance, but noted she's smitten with Midnight Poison. "It's quite fresh compared to the other Poisons — it's younger, fresher, like the commercial,"

The advertisement, which shows Eva Green running on and swinging from the top of the Opéra Garnier in Paris, was shot by director Wong Kar Wai of "In The Mood For Love".

  1. I have to say Eva Green is an eminent choice for any scent, yet the claim that she goes for this because it is light and fresh and young...hmmm....according to my research, she goes for Melograno SMN; which is not exactly that (and she is even quoted as saying that she loves it because of the incense ambience it has). So...hmmm...*enter scepticism*
    Yet I do love Wong Kar Wai and am looking forward to what they come up with, at least visually.
    Thanks for the report.

  2. Marie-Helene, I hear you. I do not understand women who worry about whether a scent is 'old' or 'young.' I thought perfume went beyond that. I never bothered with that sort of thing. I wore the first Poison when it came out in the 80s. At the time, I was in my early 30s. I never considered it old or new. I liked it, I bought it, I wore it. Period.

    I guess I'm more self-assured than other women. I just wear a scent because I like it. I don't care whether it smells old or young. As long as I'm comfortable with it, that's all that matters.

Coming into
Balance and Harmony
With Food
The cacao tree is a native of South and Central America. Today it is cultivated around the equator and can be found in the Caribbean, Africa, South-East Asia and in the South Pacific Islands of Samoa and New Guinea.

As a tropical plant, the cacao tree grows only in hot, rainy climates. Young trees are rather delicate and require a fair amount of shade and protection from wind. Most cacao trees are planted under food crop shade trees such as banana, plantains, and coconuts or under native older growth tropical forest.

Trees begin bearing fruit after five years. Mature cultivated trees grow to about twenty or twenty five feet. Wild trees grow as tall as sixty feet.

What It Is
Theobroma cacoa (Cocoa tree)
There are three main types of cacao trees. Forastero is the most common, comprising more than 90% of the world’s cacao bean production. Criollo beans are rarer and are highly prized by the world’s best chocolate makers. The third variety, Trinitario is a cross between Criollo and Forastero.
Cacao pods grow directly off the branches and are picked by tumbadores, skilled workers who use long mitten-shaped steel knives to snip the pods down from the trees. Other workers collect the pods in baskets and carry them to the edge of the field where they are split open by machete-wielding workers. An expert worker can split as many as 500 pods an hour. The beans are then scooped out by laborers and placed in baskets or boxes. Each pod contains from 25 to 50 cream-colored beans, and it takes about 400 beans to make one pound of chocolate.

A recent study on cocoa harvesting raised concerns regarding the use of child labor on cocoa farms in western Africa, where as many as 284,000 children are believed to work in hazardous conditions. The study revealed that as many as 15,000 of these children are actual slaves. The Ivory Coast produces more than 40% of the world’s cocoa beans. Since the release of the study several international agencies have begun working on processes to reform labor practices in the cocoa production market.

After harvesting, the beans are first fermented for a few days and are then spread on bamboo mats or trays to dry under the hot tropical sun. After drying they are loaded into sacks that weigh from 130 to 200 pounds and are delivered to shipping centers to be inspected and then purchased

Chocolate making is elaborate and time-consuming. Beans are cleaned, weighed and blended with other beans according to the company’s specifications for specific flavors. The beans are then roasted in large cylinders to bring out the characteristic chocolate aroma. Then the beans are cooled and their papery outer shells are removed. The meat of the bean, known as a “nib,” is then ready to be ground. Large grinding stones or heavy steel disks crush the beans. The heat from this process liquefies the cocoa butter in each bean and turns the ground beans into a liquid known as “chocolate liquor.” This liquid is poured into molds to solidify. Cocoa powder is made by removing much of the cocoa butter. Adding more cocoa butter to the liquor, along with milk, sugar and vanilla, is the recipe for sweet eating chocolate.

Making Chocolate

When You Eat...
Each tree sprouts thousands of small waxy pink or white five-petaled blossoms. Some of these blossoms will mature into pods– the fruit of the cacao tree. Cacao tree pods contain the cocoa beans that will be ground to make chocolate.
