The lyrical and moving middle-grade debut from YA author Kody Keplinger!

Eleven-year-old Nola Sutton has been best friends and neighbors with the Swift boys for practically her whole life. There's the youngest, Kevin, who never stops talking; the oldest, Brian, who's always kind and calm; and then there's Canaan, the ringleader and Nola's best-best friend. Together, they have a summer of fun adventures planned.

But then everything changes overnight.

When the boys' dad leaves without even saying good-bye, it completely destroys the Swift family, and all Nola can do is watch. She tries to hold on to them, but they are changing. Kevin stops talking, Canaan starts hanging out with mean boys, and Brian is never around. Nola just wants things to go back to the way they were -- the way they've always been.

Is Nola strong enough to save the Swift boys from themselves, or has she lost them forever?

Control over alcohol sales branded ‘farce’

New rules will apply to seven areas deemed to be saturated with pubs and off-licences. Picture: Jacky Ghossein
New rules will apply to seven areas deemed to be saturated with pubs and off-licences. Picture: Jacky Ghossein
Have your say

CONTROL over pubs and off-sales in the Capital has been branded a “farce” after licensing chiefs voted to ignore health and police warnings to curb the sale of drink .

After weeks of debate ended in deadlock, licensing chiefs yesterday waved through a controversial policy governing new applications to sell booze in areas already saturated with bars and off-licences.

The new “overprovision” rules fall short of NHS Lothian and Police Scotland calls for beefed-up restrictions on the number of new licences being granted and instead identifies seven areas of “serious or special concern”, with applications for those zones to be considered on merit. The districts highlighted are Tollcross, Dalry and Fountainbridge, Southside and Canongate, Old Town and Leith Street, South Leith, Leith Docks, and Portobello.

The statement of policy, recommended by the council’s QC, is said to place the city in a stronger legal position to defend licensing decisions in court.

Figures show alcohol-related problems cost the city
£220 million, blighting the health of entire communities. A report produced by the Edinburgh Alcohol and Drug Partnership as part of the consultation over the new policy said that Edinburgh has more licensed premises per head than the other major Scottish cities.

But it has been argued economic factors have to be balanced in the equation, with fears a blanket ban on new alcohol licences – proposed by the Scottish Licensed Trades Association – would allow areas of the city to stagnate.

Today, Councillor Chas Booth – a vocal supporter of beefed-up restrictions – said the new policy was “not worth the paper it’s printed on” and suggested it effectively reinforced the status quo. “It is an absolute farce,” he said. “I don’t see any justification for ignoring the evidence put to us by the police, NHS and licensing forum and drawing up this alternative, it makes no sense to me whatsoever. The level of disrespect the board is showing to those organisations in coming to this decision is just staggering.

“Our policy on overprovision has previously been too weak and could be overturned in court. We had an opportunity today to strengthen that policy and we didn’t take it.”

Professor Alison McCallum, director of public health and health policy, NHS Lothian, said the licensing board’s decision was “disappointing”.

She said: “We have made no secret of our concerns about the number of licensed premises in Edinburgh and we hope that future decisions made by the licensing board will support our clinicians in their work to reduce the burden of alcohol-related harm on the population.”

Big guns set for Sunday showdown in Dispatch Trophy

Bank of Scotland wore red trousers at the Braids as a tribute to Ian Taylor, who died recently. Taylor won nine medals in the event for the Bank of Scotland.

Have your say

After meeting in the final three times in the last nine years, Carrickvale and Silverknowes will clash head-on as early as the second round in this year’s Dispatch Trophy.

As the 117th staging but first with golfclubs4cash as title sponsor and first one being run by Edinburgh Leisure got underway today at the Braids, both Carrickvale and Silverknowes eased to comfortable opening-round wins.

Carrickvale, four-times winners since 2007, recorded an 8&7 triumph over a Bank of Scotland team sporting red trousers as a tribute to club legend Ian Taylor, who died earlier this month after a short illness.

Allyn Dick and Craig Deerness finished seven up on Graeme Stevenson and Andy Stevenson up front while Craig Elliot and Paul Cunningham ended one up on Bill Buchan and Graham Lundie.

“It was a southerly wind out there today, which is strange for this course,” reported former Lothians champion Dick. “It was never helping and always felt it was hurting.

“But Craig and I were very solid, with our only blip being a half at the third following a four-putt due to the pin being in an awkward spot.”

The two most successful sides in the event’s recent history, Carrickvale and Silverknowes last met in the semi-finals two years ago.

“Silverknowes came out on top on that occasion so we are hoping for a better result tomorrow,” added Dick. “It is going to be a tough game, but we are looking forward to it.”

Silverknowes, who lost in the final to Hailes 12 months ago after picking up the trophy three times in the previous five years, beat Buckstone Golfing Society 5&4.

Iain Doig, back in the top Silverknowes side, joined forces with Tam Caldwell to finish four up on Gordon Shaw and Andrew Shaw in the top match while Keith Reilly and Craig Scott were one up at the back against Derek Hall and Ross Weir.

Helped by three birdies, Reilly and Scott were three up at the turn before their opponents won the 10th, 11th and 12th, two them with birdies, but edged ahead again by holing a 10-foot downhill putt at the 15th.

“It was good to get back out on the course again,” said Reilly of Silverknowes marking their first outing at the Braids since last year’s final defeat at the hands of Hailes with a victory.

It was a successful day all round for Carrickvale as their B side also progressed with a 6&5 victory over Kilgour Private Clients.

But Cramond, which is effectively Silverknowes’ second string, suffered a 5&3 defeat at the hands of Heriots Quad.

Harrison, bidding to lift the trophy for the first time since 2000, started out with a straightforward 8&6 success over Lochend A.

Dougie Waugh and Stuart More finished five up at the front in that one with Brian Byars and Allan Stewart sitting three up behind.

“It’s certainly been a while since we last got our hands on the trophy so we will be doing our best to rectify that this year,” said More.

He was happy to see some on the opening morning, adding: “That always tests the away teams up here.”

Harrison now meet Stevenson & Cheyne (1983) Ltd after they marked returning to the event with a 4&3 win against Harrison Golf Society.

Helped by winning the first three holes, their top couple of Liberton duo David Liddle and John Hunter finished seven up while Fraser Smith and Gregor Emmerson won the 15th, 16th and 17th to trim a six-hole deficit to three at the finish.

The Dispatch Trophy, of course, has a rich history of matches being turned around over the closing stretch and the 2016 event has already added to the long list.

Playing against 2003 winners Rhodes, Munro Heating stood two down over the double foursome after 16 holes before sneaking through by one hole.

David Ewen, a three-time winner with Carrickvale, holed a 25-foot putt for a hole-winning birdie-2 at the 17th before rolling in a five-footer at the last, where their opponents missed from three feet.

John Butler and Gary Scott then won the 18th at the back with a “solid 4” to earn Munro Heating a last-32 clash with Heriots Quad.

“It looked like a lost cause,” admitted Ewen, “but, as we all know, anything can happen over the closing holes here and often does!”

Munro Heating boss Clark Munro is also through to the second round with Kingston, who won 4&2 over Edinburgh Western B.

The top Kingston couple of Scott Dickson and Jack Chainey recovered from being two down at the turn to finish one up while Munro and Fraser Martin birdied the eighth and ninth as they ended three up at the back.

“With this win and also the one for Munro Heating, it’s certainly been a good day so I’m chuffed,” said a smiling Munro.

In contrast, Watsonians trio Andrew Hogg, Richard Craig and Andrew Weir were left down in the dumps after a no show from their fourth man, Tom Foster, led to them having to hand Barnton Hotel a walkover.

It meant a delayed debut in the event for Ben Alexander, who only arrived back into Edinburgh airport at 10pm on Friday night after playing in a MENA Tour event in Thailand.

Hailes set out on their title defence on Sunday after being among the 22 teams to receive a bye.

How seriously should you care for dangers of cosmetic surgery: Botox

Dangers of cosmetic surgery due to non regulated environment

 A large number of cosmetic surgery procedures like Botox are being delivered in highly unregulated environments. The customer has no protection if something goes wrong just because they are trying too many low cost quick fix measures. These have a big chance of going wrong with the risk of major and irreversible damage to patient health.

For example: Dermal fillers, which are used to reduce wrinkles and plump up lips are not currently classed as medical devices so patients do not have a protection if something goes wrong. Not consulting a qualified cosmetic surgeon result in huge irreversible consequences and Botox treatments in unregulated environments are adding to the dangers of cosmetic surgery.

Dangers of cosmetic surgery more pronounced at alcohol parties

The video below is from 2008 but still relevant and throws light on the dangers of Botox injections at alcohol parties.

While awareness and education are key, patients also need to understand that the dangers of cosmetic surgery can be avoided by having thorough consultations with qualified surgeons and even taking a second opinion in ma ny cases.

Center for Sustainable Energy Study Examines Energy Efficiency Actions of California Solar Homeowners
Understanding the synergies between solar adoption and energy upgrades

August 18, 2014

The energy efficiency actions of California homeowners who installed rooftop solar electric systems are providing insights into the connection between solar adoption and energy upgrades that could help in the design of future residential energy programs.

A study of San Diego-area residents who participated in the California Solar Initiative rebate program shows future solar adopters may be an ideal market segment for making more comprehensive energy upgrades, according to the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE). Understanding the relationship between solar adoption and energy efficiency measures is critical given the state government's efforts to expand the residential energy efficiency market and its aggressive plans calling for reducing energy consumption in existing residential buildings 40% by 2020.

CSE researchers surveyed 2,350 solar homeowners in the San Diego Gas & Electric service territory to understand the various factors motivating their investment in a solar photovoltaic (PV) system and to assess their perspectives on energy efficiency. While the majority of respondents indicated saving money on electricity costs as the most important reason for going solar (74%) and for making any energy efficiency upgrades (71%), nuances in motivations across demographic groups reveal some distinct differences that shed light on differing energy views.

The survey found that 87% of survey participants had engaged in energy efficiency, the majority only taking basic actions prior to solar installation, such as installing low-energy lighting and appliances.

Following the market segmentation descriptions developed by Opinion Dynamics Corp. for the California Public Utilities Commission, a portion of the survey group was divided into 'leading achievers' and 'practical spenders,' based largely on household income, education and other demographics.

According to Ria Langheim, a CSE research analyst, the results confirmed that leading achievers were more motivated to install solar because of environmental concerns and the desire to reduce reliance on fossil-fueled energy, while practical spenders perceived solar as more of a significant investment that increased their property value.

Langheim said practical spenders link energy efficiency to home maintenance as an ongoing process but with the added benefits of comfortable indoor temperatures and improved air quality. Among the leading achievers, there was more motivation for energy efficiency around being green in general and reducing their carbon footprint. They also were more likely to see energy efficiency upgrades as a prerequisite to solar to reduce consumption and minimize PV system size.

The data indicate that solar customers appear to understand that deeper energy efficiency upgrades offer not only cost savings but also other factors related to home comfort, health and safety that provide the opportunity to engage them in taking additional energy measures. According to Langheim, the implications of this are potentially large considering the savings missed when energy efficiency is not addressed comprehensively before installing solar.

'Consideration should be given to integrating solar into energy efficiency programs and framing solar as a component of a comprehensive home energy upgrade,' Langheim said. 'This may help future solar customers to explore the full range of energy efficiency options as well as encourage contractors to offer both energy efficiency and solar installation services.'

Langheim will present study results at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) conference, 'The Next Generation: Reaching for High Energy Savings,' to be held Aug. 17-22 in Pacific Grove, Calif.

The entire report, Energy Efficiency Motivations and Actions of California Solar Homeowners, is available online at CSE's website at

Remain calm. Cooperate with the suspect with any demands they may make. Do not try to be heroic as your safety and the safety of others is the utmost importance in this situation. Only after you are sure the suspect has left the premises should you call 911, but do so as soon as possible. Immediately ask all co-workers and witnesses to write down everything they can possibly remember about the incident, time, what the suspect(s) looked like, what they wore, and if possible how they fled, ie: on foot, in a car, etc. Wait until the authorities arrive and cooperate with their questions.

What Kind of Maniac Hangs His T-Shirts?

The kind who invent Facebook. Oh.

Mark Zuckerberg wears the same gray T-shirt and hoodie everyday. He's said that he does this because he wants to "make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community," noting that he feels like he's "not doing his job" if he spends his energy on things that are "silly or fruitless."

Today the new dad posted a photo update on Facebook, revealing that he has a closet full of the same gray T-shirt, like some kind of tech superhero or, you know, monster...

...because who hangs T-shirts? Now I would say that that's silly. So would Marie Kondo. But you know, I didn't invent Facebook so...you do you, Zuck.

Rihanna's Met Gala Dress Designer: 'She Wasn't Sure She Could Make It'

Chinese couture designer Guo Pei tells all.

If the Met Gala red carpet was a competition, Rihanna made a strong case for the win. Of course Beyoncé, in her barely-there-Givenchy, may have something to say about that, but it's hard to deny that Rihanna, in her exquisite, enormous, and oh-so-meme-able cape coat by Chinese haute couture designer Guo Pei, emerged on top.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

The night's theme—"China, Through the Looking Glass"—was a tricky one to pull off. Certain looks smacked of cultural appropriation. But Rihanna, wearing a look by a Chinese designer, one whose designs are actually featured in the Met exhibit, and in a color that represents royalty in China, pulled it off as only Rihanna can.

Guo Pei is in New York City this week, not only for the Met celebrations, but also because she's collaborated with M.A.C on a makeup collection, which will launch globally in the fall of 2015. To accompany the makeup collection, she also designed eight impossibly ornate, never-before-seen dresses. Last night we caught up with the designer (through a translator) at a lavish dinner (think: gold leaf on your dessert) hosted by M.A.C to celebrate the upcoming collaboration.

So. Rihanna! How did it all happen?

Well, because it was the theme of the Met Gala, Rihanna's team approached me. Rihanna was the one who picked it out. It's actually from a 2012 collection. The inspiration is the look of a queen. In China, yellow is the color of the king.

What did you think when you saw her on the red carpet?

It was a dream come true. Even when the dress was on my runway, it was not as perfect as how Rihanna interpreted it. It was really stunning. But you have to understand that this dress is very, very difficult to wear. Even the minute before she walked the red carpet, she wasn't sure if she could make it. It's very heavy, 25 kg (about 55 pounds). I wondered if she would have the courage to wear it! Right after she walked the red carpet she asked me, 'Can you tell me how heavy this actually is?'

You've been designing in China for over 30 years. Now that you've gotten all this U.S. name recognition from Rihanna, what do you plan to do next?

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

I would like to bring my ready-to-wear collection to America. A lot of people know my designs in China and I feel fortunate to be so well known in China.

This M.A.C collaboration should make you more of a household name as well. How did it come about?

Our collaboration with M.A.C has been going on for over 12 years. Since day one, when I started doing my shows, M.A.C has been doing the makeup. It's a very natural progression. I know M.A.C very well and M.A.C knows me very very well.

And lastly, tell me about these exquisite dresses you designed for the collaboration?

The inspiration is the garden. I draw a lot of inspiration from gardens, but it's not the regular gardens, it's about the garden in your soul. In every one of us there's a space and through what you see and what you feel, you're planting a little seed in your heart and it's up to you how to plant the seed and nurture it to become a beautiful garden.

Canine Juvenile Orthopedic Diseases

If your puppy acts ill, is lethargic, limping, or acts painful, it needs to be seen by a veterinarian promptly.  A history and examination may help to narrow the possibilities, but radiographs (x-rays) will probably be needed, and blood and urine tests may be required as well.

Discuss the diagnostic tests needed, then consult with your veterinarian on the treatment options.  Your veterinarian can help you and your puppy back to his running and playing status!

Puppies are happy and full of energy, running, wrestling, and playing so much that we often wish we had that much energy! But when that puppy is not happy, when it is lethargic and limping, then a visit to the veterinarian is in order.  There are several orthopedic diseases that affect young dogs.

Osteochondrosis (OCD) is one of the more common juvenile orthopedic disorders.  This is a problem that has an unknown cause but results in a disturbance of an area of cartilage and the underlying bone.  This may cause limping, or it may progress to the point where the puppy is non weight bearing if the chip of cartilage and bone breaks off and starts floating around in the joint.  Shoulders are the most commonly affected joint  (75% of cases), but it can also affect the elbow, knee, or hock.  This is a disease of large breed, older puppies.  Males are twice as likely to be affected than females.  Surgery is usually required.

Panosteitis is another common orthopedic disorder of puppies.  This also has an unknown cause, but here the problem is edema inside of the long bones where the bone marrow lies.  A hallmark of this disease is called shifting leg lameness, because different legs can be affected at different times.  The puppy may be limping on the right front leg this month, then two months later be limping on the left rear leg.  Older, large breed puppies are affected, but here males are four times more likely to be affected than females.  Treatment is pain control and anti-inflammatory medications.  The good news is there are no long term adverse effects of this disease, and eventually the disease just disappears.

Legg-Perthes disease is another orthopedic disease of older puppies, but this time small breeds are more likely to be affected, and females and males are equally affected.  For an unknown reason, there is a disruption of blood flow to the head of the femur (thigh bone) which causes the death of some bone cells.  When x-rays are taken, this bone in the hip looks like it is dissolving.  These bony changes cause pain, and the treatment is a very successful surgery called a femoral head ostectomy (FHO).  This removes the whole femoral head and the dog creates a false hip joint.

Elbow dysplasia is becoming more common.  This is a syndrome of large breed, older puppies. There are actually a number of problems that can occur in the elbow, and any one or a combination can lead to the arthritis that we call elbow dysplasia.  OCD as we discussed before can occur in the elbow.  Ununited anconeal process (UAP) and fragmented medial coronoid process (FCP) are other developmental problems.  All these disorders require surgery or a debilitating arthritis is likely to occur.

Hypertrophic osteodystrophy (HOD) is a very rare disease of large breed puppies, usually two to eight months of age.  The puppy will be lethargic, painful, and may have a fever.  The ends of the affected long bones will have a characteristic pattern on an x-ray.  These puppies may recover fully, may recover but with some deformities, or may die from the disease.

There are a number of other, less frequently seen, diseases that can cause limping in puppies: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, meningitis, and immune- mediated polyarthritis.  But undoubtedly, the most common cause of lameness in puppies is, of course, trauma, as puppies can be wild and crazy!

Preventing Thrush in Horses

horse hooves
What Is a Farrier?

Farriers are skilled craftspeople who practice the profession of caring for the hooves of equines, including horses and donkeys. While the word “farrier” comes from the Latin “ferrarius” (meaning “of iron,” or “blacksmith”), there is a difference between a farrier and blacksmith. A farrier does receive training in blacksmithing in order to fabricate a horseshoe, but a blacksmith who works with iron might not ever work with horses.

Farriers possess full knowledge of the physiology and anatomy of a horse’s lower limb and are also trained in the creating and proper fitting of shoes. They also keep horses’ hooves trimmed to maintain the proper shape and length that are essential for maintaining balance. They use nippers to cut away sections of dead frog and sole and clean the feet to ensure a hygienic, thrush-free environment.

Thrush is a bacterial infection, and one of the most common diseases, affecting horses’ hooves. You will likely know it when you see — and smell — it. The pungent, tar-like black discharge collects in the sulci, or grooves, along the sides of the frog, the triangular structure that covers about 25 percent of the hoof’s bottom.

If thrush is left untreated and progresses into the sensitive tissues, the infection can move into the deeper grooves, causing the frog to deteriorate and resulting in great pain for the horse. In severe cases, lameness is possible if the thrush penetrates the sole and starts to erode vital structures in the foot. Sometimes, portions of the diseased frog will need to be removed by an equine veterinarian or farrier.

Prevention Tips

If thrush is diagnosed early, it is easy to treat and will heal properly.  In addition, there are precautions you can take to help prevent the condition, given that it is most commonly associated with poor living conditions. For instance, horses that often stand on damp and dirty surfaces are more prone to developing thrush, because the bacteria that cause the condition thrive in this type of environment.

To help prevent thrush:

  • Provide your horse with a clean and dry environment that does not encourage the growth of the organisms that cause thrush. Bedded stalls are preferable; standing on rubber mats is another option for avoiding wet conditions.
  • Regularly exercise your horse to ensure consistent and healthy circulation in the hooves.
  • Pick the hooves every day and be sure to thoroughly clean out the frog and the sulci. Inspect the hooves for foreign objects, such as rocks or nails, at the same time.
  • Adhere to a regular shoeing cycle to prevent the flaps of the frog from growing over the sulci and trapping dirt and moisture.
  • Have your farrier examine your horse's hooves and trim the frog if it is overgrown. Removing the infected portions will encourage better air circulation around the frog and expedite the healing process.

If you have any questions about how to prevent thrush or if your horse is exhibiting thrush symptoms, contact our office for help.

Submitted by: Master Tec Constr. Instal & Com Ltda CNPJ
Implemented country: Brazil
Title: Preventive measures for flood disasters in Brazil

As a matter of fact weather patterns are increasingly extreme nowadays. Since Brazil has repeatedly faced severe flooding in months of exceptionally massive rainfalls, Master Tec decided to launch a project with the objective of preventing as much damage as possible caused by floods. The first step of the project is to build Safety Surfaces in areas that are most likely to be flooded. Secondly all affected people need to be instructed that new safety measures are available and how to access and use them. In addition, the construction of Moving Stands Platforms is planned, with the capacity to carry a great number of people and thus rescue them before it is impossible to move from the flood-stricken area. In the near future it will even be possible to construct emergency bridges.

Vocabulary Development with the "What's This Word?" App

The new app "What's This Word? 4 pics & 1 Word Quiz" is great for students in grades 2 and up (maybe even some 1st graders!)  Each puzzle gives you 4 pictures.  You have to figure out what they all have in common and spell the word with the letters provided.

This app would be great in a Daily 5 Word Work center.  Some ideas for extending the use of the app are:

  • Have students screenshot the puzzle that was the hardest for them and blog about how they figured out the answer.
  • Have students create their own 4 pictures and a word puzzle using vocabulary from a current unit or spelling list.

Yummy Ice Cream Treats after Playing at the Beach

Every beach here in Okinawa has some sort of ice cream stand. After playing at the beach it was time for a yummy treat. They shared chocolate sundaes and they loved them. We sat in the shade because it was hot in the sun. A wonderful Sunday, but could have been better if Daddy had been here.
Sharing Practice

This is my most favorite picture of Emma recently. I love the crazy beach hair and I just love her eyes! She is so beautiful! I couldn't decide if I liked the picture better in color or black and white.

Chicago Canal Poisoned to Keep Invasive Carp Out of Great Lakes

CHICAGO -- State and Federal agencies have begun poisoning a nearly 6-mile stretch of the Chicago Sanitary Ship Canal to kill off invasive Asian carp while maintenance is performed on an electrical barrier intended to keep the fish out of Lake Michigan. The Lakeâ€™s ecosystem is already irreparably damaged by invasive species making the introduction of these new invasive fish a dire threat to the entire Great Lakes system. The fish can grow to 100 pounds in size and out-compete native species in an ecosystem due to their prolific breeding and ability to filter feed 40% of their body weight on a daily basis. Underscoring the threat, Governor Jennifer Granholm of Michigan today called for the re-opening of a nearly century-old case sitting before the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the Chicago Diversion to force immediate action around the carp issue.

According to Henry Henderson, Director of the Natural Resources Defense Councilâ€™s Midwest Program (and a former Commissioner of the Environment for the City of Chicago), "Nobody wants to see 200,000 pounds of dead fish hauled out of the water, but the alternative is far worse. This is a desperate, last ditch attempt to protect Lake Michigan, but more proactive efforts should have been made to stave off this threat."

"The problem does not go away after the poison has floated down the canal. It will require proactive and thoughtful action -- two things that have been scarce during this slow motion disaster. In the short-term we need to close the locks and put protections in place on the waterways with no barriers. But the carp will continue to come up the Illinois River until we re-establish the natural barriers that once protected the Lakes. Until that happens, the Great Lakes will continue to be threatened. No poisoning can fix this issue and the problem will not be solved until weâ€™ve closed the door on these fish."

Alcatel Lucent

EnSilica have supported Alcatel-Lucent in the development of a Remote Radio Head FPGA.

EnSilica were responsible for the design and verification of a number of modules within the RRH processing chain along with the integration and verification of the top level design prior to timing closure & fitting in the chosen FPGA device. The project also included the integration of CPRI IP from the FPGA vendor into the design.

The project was divided into a number of phases, ending with the delivery of a timing closed/functionally verified drop into the wider Alcatel-Lucent organisation for HW integration and SW testing. On-time delivery was a paramount requirement to ensure the testing team were kept fully utilised and the delivery commitments to the end customer were met.EnSilica succeeded in meeting all delivery dates for the project.

EnSilica adopted a rigorous verification methodology – developing an extensive set of self-checking testcases verifying each module as well as chip level simulation. This was significantly different from previous FPGA designs where HW testing was started after minimal simulation. This approach resulted in significantly faster device validation – with each drop showing a high degree of functionality from first switch-on. The availability of comprehensive test-cases ensured that any HW issues could be quickly investigated and resolved.

This was the best HW bring-up we have ever experienced. The quality of deliverables from EnSilica provided high confidence that the demanding timescales for the project could be achieved.

A key benefit for Alcatel-Lucent was the ability of EnSilica to re-size the team based upon the scope of the work needed for a particular phase. The EnSilica team ranged from 2 engineers up to a maximum of 7 during the peak phases of the project. Being able to work on multiple drops in parallel significantly reduced the overall project timescales. Most of the support was undertaken at EnSilica’s dedicated design centre in Wokingham, along with on-site support as required. The availability of project management support from EnSilica ensured that Alcatel-Lucent were always fully informed of the status of work being undertaken, schedule and issues requiring attention.

EnSilica have shown themselves to be a flexible and highly skilled design services partner and certainly someone we would use again on future projects.

Mark Britton
Technical Manager for Digital Hardware

EnSilica, a leading provider of IC design services and system solutions have recently completed a major project with a Tier1 mobile communications company, to deliver a world-class Remote Radio Head (RRH) solution based on the Altera’s High End Stratix FPGA technology.

EnSilica were responsible for design and verification tasks within the RRH processing chain along with the integration and verification of the top level design, followed by timing closure & fitting. Altera also provided CPRI IP, customised for the specific application and extensive use was made of the Altera DSP Builder tools to generate timing-optimised register transfer level (RTL) code.

The project was divided into a number of phases, ending with the delivery of a timing closed/functionally verified production device ready for HW integration and SW testing. On-time delivery was a paramount requirement to ensure the testing team were kept fully utilised and the delivery commitments to the end customer were met.

EnSilica succeeded in meeting all delivery dates for the project.

This was a great example of how the combination of EnSilica’s high quality design services offering and Altera technology and IP can deliver the best possible solution for our customers. For some customers adopting leading-edge FPGA technologies can be daunting, but with EnSilica engaged, customers can be totally confident that the development is in safe hands and they will have a production ready device in the shortest possible time. This is good for the customer and good for Altera.

EnSilica are a member of the Altera Design Services network, bringing together companies with the experience and expertise to enable Altera’s customers achieve their challenging product development needs – lowering risk and accelerating time to market.

Dongbu Hitek

At the start of our new project, there were several candidate CPUs for this product. After an extensive technical and commercial evaluation Dongbu HiTek selected the EnSilica eSi-1600 processor IP and peripherals set for our project.

While evaluating their IP, EnSilica’s team responded fast and professionally and had all the relevant experiences to support our project. Even though there is no local office in Korea, they supported in real time.

They understood our project requirements and we found the IP had very competitive performance. During developing our project, EnSilica team proposed some custom instruction specific to our application that saved important memory and power.

Their quality IP and support made our project on-time and a success. Through silicon verification, there was no CPU issue found and we were very pleased with the result.

We have decided to use EnSilica’s IP for our next project and we are confident that EnSilica will again provide the best service and support to make this another success project.

EnSilica provided RTL-to-GDSII and DFT services to support the development of our first Smart Building technology ASIC development.  The work was carried out professionally with clear reporting throughout the project, and all deliverables were of high quality.

EnSilica’s team also responded very quickly to some late RTL changes by pulling out all the stops and working at the weekend to re-generate the GDSII in time for our tape-out date.

The teams response and professionalism was impressive. Thanks from all of us at enModus.

My team has been working with EnSilica and the eSi-RISC processor for a number of years over a number of IC developments, and the level of service and quality of the IP they provide is excellent. During the processor evaluation, EnSilica’s level of support was excellent. We were able to demonstrate that the configurability and custom instructions provided us with real technical differentiation compared to other CPU cores.

As part of the license agreement, EnSilica also provided a design services package to deliver a complete multi-processor AMBA sub-systems including cache memory, USB and all the key peripherals required for our application. This included external APB buses to allow us to connect our own IPs. The delivery came complete with software API and examples allowing us to quickly implement our own application code on an FPGA platform in parallel with the chip development.

During the process we requested a number of changes to the system which were turned around very quickly and efficiently. Outsourcing the processor sub-system to EnSilica helped reduce our IC development time and allowed us to focus on our end application specific IPs and differentiation. The flexible multi-processor architecture has helped us developed novel security features to meet FIPS security certification.

We plan to continue to use eSi-RISC IP in future products and will use their services to support our ongoing chip development activities.

“Having had a number of bids, we turned to EnSilica to provide a cycle-accurate C model of a major signal processing subsystem, a project for which timescale was critical.

EnSilica responded rapidly with a strong, well presented commercial and technical proposal, and were very easy to work with. Their work was first class, including comprehensive reporting and very professional deliverables. The project was completed to budget and on schedule. We would gladly work with them again.”

Michael Barkway

“Navtech’s objective was to develop a new version of a radar system to reduce size, lower cost, and improve reliability by integrating as much functionality as possible into a single device. A standard single-chip solution was not available and Navtech engaged EnSilica as a design partner to produce a custom design. EnSilica performed a study of the project requirements and advised Navtech that implementation in a single Altera Stratix II FPGA device was possible. Approximately 80% of the design was delivered by EnSilica and the project was completed on time and within budget. The result was a cost saving over the previous solution with significant size reduction and improvement in reliability. We highly recommend EnSilica and will be using them on future projects.”

Phil Avery
Managing Director

After being recommended to us by another mixed signal IC company we engaged EnSilica to perform the layout of the digital block in our RF IC.

EnSilica’s execution of the project was faultless, they provided my team and I clear feedback on issues with the RTL and timing constraints as well recommending the fixes to make the design run through cleanly. They were very responsive and turned round the design promptly, the database was well structured and had all the reports and scripts we needed to maintain the design.

EnSilica understood the issues of working on digital blocks of mixed signal IC and were easy to work with both on a technical and commercial level. The project went very smoothly and we intend to engage them again for our next project.

To support our innovative wired packet processor sub-system IP, Posedge required multiple instantiations of an embedded processor with 3 different configurations. Due to the number of cores in the system the key selection criteria was a low gate-count and good code density as well as the requirement to support multi-core debug.

Of three processors evaluated, only the eSi-3250 exhibited the combination of functionality and flexible licensing that we needed to take our product development plans forward. EnSilica even created a special version of the eSi-3250, with the option to switch the caching capability on and off, giving us extra flexibility.

The eSi-3250 is also backed by a professional toolchain capable of supporting multi-core debug and validation. We used both the Windows and Linux version that are both easy to use and very stable. Posedge are now standardising on the eSi-3250 for all our wired/wireless networking IP solutions.

EnSilica have provided excellent support to our USA and Indian based teams through the complete design cycle as well as during silicon bring-up.

Semisens could reduce die size and lower power consumption of our touch screen controllers using EnSilica’s IPs. Those devices are now successfully released to the market. Benchmarking performed by one of end customers showed that Semisens touch controller consumes lowest power among touch controllers available in the market. In addition to the value the CPU core, EnSilica’s IP provides ease of integration and verification with other logic blocks. Quick application support of quality apps engineers also made our IC design engineers feel comfortable to work with EnSilica. With all those benefits brought to our chip design, EnSilica is now selected as the sole CPU vendor for Semisens. We are glad that the right partnership made our device achieve the best performance and the highest value in this competitive market.

“EnSilica was recommended by electronics supplier EBV as a local and experienced FPGA design services company with an excellent reputation. We also tendered the work to other suppliers for comparison. We were impressed with the budgetary quote and the team’s overall competence. After completing work on the transmit FPGA signal processing to budget and on time, we engaged EnSilica for the receiver design. This enabled us to replace an Analog Devices floating point DSP, SSRAM and SDRAM with a single low-cost Cyclone III FPGA, leading to a significant cost saving.

The deliverables from EnSilica have always been of the highest quality and the project management has been highly effective. We would recommend EnSilica without hesitation, and look forward to working with them again in the future.”

Lee Richman

After an extensive search, we found EnSilica’s eSi1600/3200 to be an excellent match for our controller IP requirements. We were very pleased with the quality of the code and the documentation. Technical support was perfect during the entire engagement, always prompt and relevant. The ASIC implementation of the core performed as expected in the first tape-out. As an early-phase start-up with a tight R&D budget, Solantro benefitted from an excellent technical and business partnership with EnSilica, allowing us to move to the next level.

The solution developed by EnSilica, with its excellent features, has enhanced greatly the functionality of our product. We look forward to joining hands again with the team to develop more high-performance IC solutions

“EnSilica were selected by Thomson for the development of a very important subsystem- one of the most complex designs I have specified. The result was excellent (a few bugs were caused by ambiguities in the specification) and the value for money was even better (very autonomous work, reasonable requests for support). The true reason I recommend EnSilica is integrity. The contract was fixed price. They notified us early about their problems and then worked even harder to fix them in time. Contrary to other companies I have worked with, they did not play games to get more money. If they commit to a deadline and a budget, then they will deliver. If you have an RFQ for an important design task requiring senior engineers, you should send it to EnSilica.”

Xavier Duret
IC Technical Lead

Ensilica were knowledgeable, flexible and responsive to the needs of our system level design project. The contribution they made to modelling and evaluating the transceiver performance helped us greatly in achieving our goals and saved us a great deal of time.

Xtendwave licensed EnSilica’s eSi-3200 32-bit processor core to power our EverSet® time code receiver solution for decoding the WWVB atomic timekeeping signal. The processor IP came fully integrated with a complete set of peripherals, memories for our chosen technology and external interfaces to connect our own IPs. EnSilica provided Xtendwave with a version of eSi-3200 optimized for the EverSet® application, configuring it to reduce the overall processor gate count significantly compared to the competing solution. The optimized version also featured custom trigonometric instructions reducing cycle count by 30% and a 2Kbyte reduction in valuable memory space.

EnSilica also provided additional services including full RTL to GDSII development services and development of scan vectors and software for memory testing and BIST to support our IC production. The services were delivered to schedule and budget and always to a high quality. EnSilica’s team was easy to work with and provided us with the expertise and skills we needed to get a quality solution in a very short timeframe. We would recommend EnSilica to any fabless semiconductor company looking to accelerate their chip development.

The MBTA is extending the hours of subway and bus service by 90 minutes, beginning this weekend.

The last trains will leave downtown stations around 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday nights and around 2:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Here's a Q&A from the T.

What services will operate until 2:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights?

Rapid Transit—the Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Mattapan, and Silver Lines (except SL2)—and the Key Bus Routes. The Key Bus Routes are Route Nos. 1, 15, 22, 23, 28, 32, 39, 57, 66, 71, 73, 77, 111, and 116/117.

The RIDE paratransit service will also operate until approximately 3 a.m. to areas within ¾ mile of all late night services. Please note that this is only if both the origin of the trip and the destination of the trip are within three-quarters of a mile of bus/subway.

How were the services to have extended hours selected?

Rapid Transit and Key Bus Routes serve over 70 percent of all trips made on the MBTA each day. The map of the Rapid Transit and Key Bus Route network is already posted on most MBTA vehicles and in most stations, so this helps customers understand and take advantage of the new service.

Will the extended service operate like other MBTA services?

Service will operate as it does during the day, serving the same stations and stops as the normal routes. Regular rapid transit and bus fares will be charged on late night services.

All new trips will be scheduled and will appear on the MBTA website, on phone apps, on Google Transit, and anywhere else that such information is usually available. Real-time information for buses will also be available for the extended late night service. Real-time information for the Red, Blue, and Orange Lines, including the countdown signs in stations, may not work after 2:00 a.m. due to current technical limitations.

How frequently will service operate?

Extended late night service will operate approximately every 15-20 minutes in most cases. Some corridors served by multiple routes (such as SL4/SL5 and 116/117) will have combined service levels of every 15-20 minutes or every 30-40 minutes on unique segments.

Are there other routes or schedules affected by this change?

Bus trips that normally wait for “last trains,” which are generally identified by “w” notes on schedules, will no longer wait on Fridays or Saturdays if they do not have extended late night service. The last trips on these bus routes will instead depart at their scheduled time on Fridays and Saturdays. This affects Route Nos. 9, 10, 11, 16, 24/27, 26, 31, 34, 35, 36, 43, 44, 47, 64, 69, 70, 72, 74, 75, 80, 83, 87, 88, 89, 93, 95, 96, 99, 106, 108, 109, 110, 120, 134, 210, 216, 426, 442, and 713.

Study of Photos Suggest Fishing Gear is More Likely to Harm Female FKWs

When estimating the number of false killer whales that interact with the longline fishery, scientists and resource managers do not try to guess the sex of any individual caught.

But a recently published study of dorsal fin disfigurements concludes that fisheries interactions with false killer whales around Hawai`i probably involve females more often than males – which in turn suggests gear interactions have a disproportionate impact on population dynamics, over and above that which would be expected if both sexes were represented equally.

The article, “False killer whales and fisheries interactions in Hawaiian waters: Evidence for sex bias and variation . . .

Comment Period on Green Turtle Population Status Is Extended

posted in: EH-XTRA | 0

The National Marine Fisheries Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service are extending the public comment period on their proposed revisions to the status of the green sea turtle under the Endangered Species Act, or ESA. The revisions, first published last March, had an initial comment period ending on June 22. It was then extended to July 27, and extended again in July to August 26. Today’s extension will end on September 25.

The action came about in response to a petition by the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs in 2012 to remove federal protections from the Hawai`i population of green turtles (Chelonia mydas). Rather than looking exclusively at the Hawai`i population, however, the agencies undertook a review of turtle populations globally.

As NMFS noted in its Federal Register notice of August 26, “we found that the green turtle is composed of 11 distinct population segments (DPSs) that qualify for listing under the ESA. We proposed to remove the current listings and, in their place, list eight DPSs as threatened and three as endangered.” The relief sought by the Hawaiian Civic Clubs is not granted in the proposed revisions.

NMFS also provided its reasons for extending the comment periods: “On July 27, 2015, we extended the public comment period … due to a typhoon and the loss of internet in Saipan, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. On August 17, we received a request to further extend the public comment period due to another typhoon and the loss of electricity in CNMI.”

Comments may be submitted through the federal rule-making portal, Enter NOAA-NMFS-2012-0154 in the search block to be taken to the website for this proposed rule. Comments made earlier need not be resubmitted, NMFS states. It is also possible on that site to read the 300-plus comments that have been submitted since NMFS accepted the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs’ petition more than three years ago.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver

Gold Wong/Getty Images

They said it wouldn't last. Well, it might've taken 25 years, but sadly they were right.

Last night, it was announced that Maria Shriver and onetime governator Arnold Schwarzenegger had separated after a quarter-century of marriage, surprising both the political and showbiz worlds in one fell swoop. Which is quite the feat.

And while we may not know exactly what caused the separation, we know what happened in the lead-up. So here's a timeline of the way they were:

1977: Power couple alert: the duo first meets after Shriver's family invited Schwarzenegger to participate in a celebrity tennis tournament. NBC's Tom Brokaw has the honor of being the man who formally introduced the couple at the event.

May 1982: A star is born: Arnold makes his big screen breakthrough in Conan the Barbarian.

October 1984: The Terminator is released. He'll be back.

April 26, 1986: Arnold and Maria tie the knot at St. Francis Xavier Church in (where else?) Hyannis, Mass.

Dec. 13, 1989: The couple welcomes their first child, daughter Katherine Eunice Shriver Schwarzenegger.

July 23, 1991: The couple's second daughter, Christina Maria Aurelia Schwarzenegger, is born.

Sept. 18, 1993: Their first son, Patrick Arnold Schwarzenegger, is born.

Sept. 27, 1997: Their fourth and last child, son Christopher Sargent Shriver Schwarzenegger is born.

Aug. 6, 2003: Schwarzenegger announces his candidacy for the California gubernatorial recall election on The Tonight Show.

September 13, 2003: The couple appears on The Oprah Winfrey Show and Maria Shriver literally covers her hubby's mouth after he confirms his '70s-era boasts to Oui magazine about his drug and sex exploits.

"This was the time when I was saying things like, 'A pump is better than coming,' all those kinds of things." After giving him a mock slap, Maria exclaimed, "My mother is watching this show!"

Fall 2003: Reports of Schwarzenegger's sexual misconduct threaten to thwart his political career before it begins, leading to an apology from the candidate and a strong defense from Shriver.

"Yes, it is true that I was rowdy on movie sets, and I have done things that were not right, which I thought then was playful. But I now recognize that I have offended people. And to those people that I have offended, I want to say to them, I am deeply sorry about that, and I apologize," he said.

As for Shriver, she said that the allegations "show why really good people don't want to go into politics anymore."

Oct. 7, 2003: Schwarzenegger wins California's historic gubernatorial recall election.

August 2003: Shriver leaves her job as contributing anchor on NBC's Dateline following (and due to) her husband's political win. She asked the network to be relieved of her duties so as to prevent any conflicts of interest.

Nov. 7, 2006: Schwarzenegger is reelected as governor of California.

Aug. 11, 2009: Maria's mother, Eunice Shriver, passes away.

October 2009: The playfulness in their marriage is alive and well—can't say the same for the law-abidingness. Maria is photographed twice using her cell phone while driving, violating the very law her husband signed into action. "Thanks for bringing her violations to my attention," the Governator tweeted. "There's going to be swift action."

Jan. 18, 2011: Maria's father, Sargent Shriver, passes away.

March 2011: Maria speaks to supporters in a YouTube video in which she appears without her wedding ring, but makes no outright mention of a split. "It is so stressful to not know what you're doing next," she said. "I'd like to hear from other people in transition. How did you get through it? What were three things that enabled you to get through your transition?"

Spring 2011: Arnold lines up a showbiz comeback, starring on for no fewer than three films, including another installment of Terminator. He also teamed up with comic book creator Stan Lee for an animated kids' series, The Governator. A 3-D version of the film is also in the works.

Early April 2011: Shriver and her oldest son embark on an East Coast tour of colleges, with her later vacationing in the Bahamas. At the same time, Schwarzenegger continued his (solo) jetsetting ways, heading to Cannes to receive the Legion d'Honneur medal.

April 26, 2011: The couple celebrates their 25th wedding anniversary.

May 6, 2011: Arnold and Maria appear together at Loyola Marymount University's commencement, where they're celebrating their nephew's graduation.

May 8, 2011: The whole family has brunch together for Mother's Day.

May 9, 2011: The couple announce their separation in a joint statement: "This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us. After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion and prayer, we came to this decision together. At this time, we are living apart while we work on the future of our relationship.

"We are continuing to parent our four children together. They are the light and the center of both of our lives. We consider this a private matter and neither we nor any of our friends or family will have further comment. We ask for compassion and respect from the media and the public."

Japanese Maples are exquisite this year.

This is neighbour Judy’s maple tree. It fills her whole front yard.

Pink Lady Apple Tree....on the move

This Pink Lady Apple Tree did not produce any fruit this year. No surprise really, the willow has grown right over top of it, shading it for much of the day. Today I am moving it to a very prime location.

This is one of last years Pink Lady Apples. Not only is it beautiful, but the taste is wonderful.

After an incredible battle digging it out, it is now in its permanent home.
This location gets sun pretty much all day.

The back yard makeover, four months in the making...done.

The relief and joy I am feeling.....I can barely put into words. I knew it was going to be a heavy and long project. I just couldn't bring myself tear everything out and send it to the compost facility, even though it would have been about a three week project instead of four months. I just felt I had to hand sort all the mulch and pick out the bigger wood chips. Then carefully gather up the compost and manure and move all of it into the gardens that will remain. So some of it went way over to the other side of the far yard. One wheelbarrow at a time....{are you feeling ANY sympathy yet, or do I need to get even more dramatic?}, in the hot sun, for about four months. This past weekend, I got the rest of the back yard grass seeded, and sprinklers set up. I wish I had that on video.....the tap is actually located in the sprinkler overlap, so as I was trying to get them aligned perfectly, I was in the path of at least one sprinkler almost the whole time. It was pretty funny actually, I looked like a drowned rat.

The Blueberries have been moved and the new garden defined.

It was a brutal job, what with the dry summer and solid clay, but I dug out the Blueberries and moved them into the new smaller garden. It actually looks better and I have a feeling that they will be much happier there. They will not be out in the centre of a garden in the hot sun. They will get a bit of shade at the roots and coolness from the apple trees.

Below is a photo of where they were. They are just on the left of the tire tracks. There are not a lot of leaves on the Blueberries, so they are hard to see. Sad isn't it. They did not do well there. I think it was just too dry and hot with no garden around them this year. To the left, or behind them, are some lavenders that have been moved. The Blueberries were moved to the area just behind the lavenders. It sure looks better now doesn't it.

Tuesday, September 12, 2017

Finally, after a whole summer of hard work....the first grass seed is sown!

I spent the entire summer, about 3 1/2 months, moving a massive amount of wood chips and composted manure using a wheel barrow. I would put it in the wheel barrow and manually pick out the chips bigger than about three inches and all of the sticks...and there were a lot. That is what ended up in the massive pile about 12' across by about 5' tall. Those were hand picked chips and sticks. Then I would move the wheel barrow of good manure and wood chips into the gardens that will remain. OMG I cannot tell you what a sight this is. The first section levelled and prepared, seeded and now watering. {If it looks familiar, this is the area that contained my precious Tulameen Raspberry bed}. I have never been so happy to see a job wrapping up!!
