The title's baffling! The hype's massive! And the name's Bond. James Bond.
That's right, Quantum of Solace has opened in the UK, (two weeks in advance of the USA, I might add- fuck you, Americans!) and I went to see it on Saturday night. It's had somewhat mixed reviews, but this is the one franchise that is absolutely critic-proof. Case in point- Die Another Day. So when everyone loved Casino Royale- and quite right too- it was merely an added bonus. As ever, I'm not going to compare this film to its predecessor because that's not the way to review films in my view. Also because it's not quite as good, but then I really liked Casino Royale. The review may potentially contain mild spoilers, and major spoilers for Casino Royale, because I assume you've seen it if you're reading a review of the sequel.
QUANTUM OF SOLACE
Who's in it? Daniel Craig, (The Golden Compass) Olga Kurylenko, (Hitman) Mathieu Amalric, (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) Judi Dench, (Notes on a Scandal) and Gemma Arterton (Rocknrolla)
What's it all about? Unlike most Bond movies, this is a direct sequel to its predecessor, picking up with 007 (Craig) going after the mysterious organisation responsible for blackmailing and indirectly killing the love of his life, Vesper Lynd. His search for revenge brings him into conflict with an apparent environmentalist called Dominic Greene, (Amalric) who seems to be involved in an oil scam and the reinstatement of a deposed Bolivian tyrant. Along with Greene's on-off girlfriend, Camille, (Kurylenko) Bond is forced to go renegade as his search for revenge threatens to consume him.
Any good? Daniel Craig keeps telling us that the title Quantum of Solace, taken from an Ian Fleming short story that has nothing to do with the plot of this one, refers to what Bond needs in his relationship with Vesper. Apparently a relationship can't survive without a quantum of solace, which Bond doesn't have because Vesper is dead. So the relationship technically can't survive already. Oh dear, I've picked apart the very title already. So within the film's context, Quantum is the name of the aforementioned organisation that wants... something- more on that later. The solace does eventually show up too, but to elaborate upon that would be a spoiler, so I won't. To call this Quantum of Solace therefore makes... well, not very much sense, but there we are.
Looking at the film as a whole though, it's a terrific way to spend 106 minutes. It's said that every Bond film is around 20 minutes too long, so it's great that they were sensible enough to pick up the pace here and shave off that last 20 minutes. It's action packed, and retains the sense of high drama that seems to characterise Daniel Craig's Bond. The former of these aspects do fall down when held to scrutiny however. Director Marc Forster has previously done fare like Finding Neverland and The Kite Runner. So he knows his stuff, drama-wise, but he's not an action director in my view. Everything feels overedited, with some action sequences being so confusing that you can't tell who's winning any given fight. Some downright dumb camera angles are employed at times- Bond changing gears at one point is shown with a close up of his thigh rather than of the gearstick. Forster does a wonderful job with the film as a whole, but it's these sequences that let the film down somewhat. Not good in a Bond film.
Everything else though is rather good. Starting with the cast. Daniel Craig is by far the most emotionally vulnerable Bond we've ever seen, which befits the fact that he's just started this job one film ago, given the whole reboot. At the same time, he's hard as nails, and no matter what his detractors say, that's a good combination. Jeffrey Wright is underused but brilliant as Felix Leiter, Bond's CIA poker-buddy from Casino Royale, and Giancarlo Giannini also returns as George Lucas-lookalike, Mathis, having an important role to play rather than being shoehorned in as part of the "look the whole gang's back!" trope. Mathieu Amalric does very much as Mads Mikkelson did with his turn as a Bond villain, speaking softly but carrying a big stick. Literally, towards the end of the film, as he starts beating someone up with a big stick. Stressful situations do that I suppose, but at least Amalric manages to restrain himself rather than strip Bond's clothes off and hit him in the bollocks.
The women are of course a huge part of the Bond films, and so they deserve appraisal of some kind too. Judi Dench comes back to do her semiannual job of being furious with Bond again, and there's a great scene that exemplifies the reliance and trust between the two about midway through the film. Perhaps not what you have in mind when I say Bond girl, but she's been there since Goldeneye with Pierce Brosnan in 1995, so she lays a better claim to the title than Gemma Arterton for instance. Billed as one of Britain's rising stars in films, she's depressingly bland in this one. True, her role as Agent Fields would never have scope for an Oscar-calibre performance, but her lines seem to be delivered as though Marc Forster is holding them up on cue-cards off-screen. Olga Kurylenko, being the alternative here as "the chick that Bond doesn't bang" as Camille is a sharp contrast to Miss Arterton, giving a nuanced performance that won't put her in the Bond Girls Hall of Fame, but it's not like that's something all actresses aspire to anyway. I stress that Agent Fields is a negligible role, and that's not Gemma Arterton's fault particularly, but I reckon if she was as good as the hype suggests, she'd have made it more memorable.
The plot, as some reviewers have complained, is intricate but not nonsensical. Those critics who say otherwise might like to look at the one where Roger Moore goes to the moon, or the one where Pierce Brosnan has an invisible Aston Martin. A nice twist in the middle left me pleasantly surprised, as I didn't expect an earlier joke I made about audacious Bond villain plots afte seeing the the trailer to be borne out. On film though, it does serve as a nice callback to some of the more silly plans that villains in this franchise have been known to concoct.
However, the aforementioned oddity of a title aside, it's difficult to know what Quantum actually wants. At least with SPECTRE in the older films doing a Pinky and the Brain and doing the same as they do in every film- try to take over the world!- you know where you're at. If anything, Dominic Greene in this film seems to be working on his own. Sure, he alludes to his organisation making his actions possible, but we don't really see a thing of them. Perhaps they're setting up for another sequel, which I think is a bad idea to be honest. Setting up Quantum to be like SPECTRE is fine, but Bond should not go down what I call the Pirates route. I love the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, but feel the sequels were ruined by some odd desire to unify all the films in a story arc rather than be three standalone films in the vein of the Indiana Jones films. Bond films are the apotheosis of the standalone adventure, with their polygamic protagonist never bringing so much as a love interest along to a subsequent film. It's not spoiling too much to say that Bond gets some form of closure on the Vesper issue in this film, and I thought that was great, but we don't need another direct sequel.
All in all, I reckon comparisons can be drawn between this and the hands-down best film of the year, The Dark Knight, but for the wrong reasons. While it is a great film- innovative and not afraid to be dark or to upset audiences- Quantum of Solace is at the end of the day, a Bond film. I love how the newest Bond films are experimenting with what we expect from the franchise, but I suspect this isn't quite what audiences wanted from 'that difficult second film.' I'm fine with Craig's broodyness, and it was great to see him throw some quips and typical 007 moments in here and there this time around, but let's see him a little more at ease with himself and the world next time around, please. He's apparently got his quantum of solace back, and yes, I am equating that to him getting his mojo back cos God knows what else it's meant to be, so let's see something more fun come The Property of a Lady or Risico... whatever they call it.
I did consider doing reviews of one film for each Bond, having went out to buy two of my favourite Bond films, From Russia with Love and Licence to Kill, on DVD yesterday, but then realised this would mean sitting through the apparently interminable On Her Majesty's Secret Service, something that most film fans seem to be advised against. So we'll see if that comes to pass or not. If not, the next review will likely be Ghost Town, Zack and Miri Make A Porno, Choke and/or W. If I'm feeling generous.

Wide-range sensitive all-textile piezoresistive sensors assembled with biomimetic core-shell yarn via facile embroidery integration
Abstract: Emerging of flexible high-performance pressure sensor has recently led to the development and flourish of wearable intelligent systems. However, a recurring challenge restricting the performances and large-scale applications is the incorporation of high flexibility, wide working pressure range, and facile integration into flexible pressure sensor. In this paper, cytoskeleton-inspired core–shell yarns (CCSY), containing internal silver-plated nylon electrode and external sensing layer with bridge-binder cell (BBC) structures, have been prepared by a modified immersing coating process. Due to the great flexibility and knittability of CCSY, integrated sensors array, as well as pressure sensors, has been inserted into traditional textiles with expected location and resolution via a facile embroidery technique. The obtained pressure sensor shows a wide working pressure range (up to 25 N, ∼148.017 MPa), a high sensitivity (up to 5.15 N−1) and a short response time (∼11.2 ms) with the help of BBC structures. Moreover, the pressure sensor can monitor physiological signals of human body accurately and swiftly, such as pulses, joints movements, and plantar pressure. The scalable and high-performance CCSY-based pressure sensors pave a pass for the next generation wearable intelligent system, fulfilling the sophisticated demands of intelligent life, personalized health care and human–machine interface.

Hanes yr eglwys hon
This was demolished to meet the needs of a growing congregation and the present church was erected and dedicated in 1869. Significant features are the twin spires, the clock, the pews and the Sweetland organ.
It was estimated that the new church would be £500 and take less than a year to build. It actually cost £1,610 and took 13 years. It was named Lavington Chapel in memory of its former long serving Minister.
A new school room opened in 1862. The current Primary Hall was erected in 1923 as the Church’s War Memorial. In 1972 on the occasion of the Union between the Presbyterian Church of England and the congregational Church it became a part of the United Reformed Church.
The interior of the church remains largely unaltered, although it was originally decorated in the ornate Victorian style.
The clock is one of two, the other being owned by the Town Council and originally situated in the Market but now in the Court Room of the Town Hall. It was built in Bideford by Ephraim Dyer and is a relic of the Great Meeting House, for which it was made.
The pulpit chair is a replica of John Calvin’s chair at Geneva Cathedral. Calvin (1509-64) was an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation, responsible for introducing new forms of church government and liturgy.
The original organ was built for the church in 1863 by W. Sweetland of Bath. It is a two manual organ with 22 speaking stops and is known locally as ‘The Old Lady of Lavington’. This instrument is still used occasionally, but is in need of restoration work.
Also of interest are the pews with their numbered doors, complete with linen fold decoration. So too is the carving at the top of the front choir gallery. This front was also highly coloured at one point and bits of this can still been seen through the varnish.

Description for Alto Temo Dam (Italy)
Alto Temo is a hollow gravity dam located in the northern part of Sardinia, in Italy. The dam is foreseen for the exploitation of the Temo river flows, for irrigation purposes, and for the flood control.
It is one of the first dams designed by Studio Pietrangeli. It was conceived with an innovative methodology for the analysis, especially adapted and applied to this type of dam by Giorgio Pietrangeli.
The project includes a hollow gravity dam which hosts a spillway in the central blocks, controlled by 3 flap gates, each one 11 m long. At the dam toe, a flip bucket acts as energy dissipator.
The bottom outlet allows emptying of the reservoir in about five days. An additional small outlet is found in the dam body to empty completely the reservoir.

A peer-reviewed study performed at the Energy Department's Argonne National Laboratory in 2012 found that biofuels made with corn residue were 95 percent better than gasoline in greenhouse gas emissions. That study assumed some of the residue harvested would replace power produced from coal, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but it's unclear whether future biorefineries would do that.
Liska agrees that using some of the residue to make electricity, or planting cover crops, would reduce carbon emissions. But he did not include those in his computer simulation.
Still, corn residue is likely to be a big source early on for cellulosic biofuels, which have struggled to reach commercial scale. Last year, for the fifth time, the EPA proposed reducing the amount required by law. It set a target of 17 million gallons for 2014. The law envisioned 1.75 billion gallons being produced this year.
"The study says it will be very hard to make a biofuel that has a better greenhouse gas impact than gasoline using corn residue," which puts it in the same boat as corn-based ethanol, said David Tilman, a professor at the University of Minnesota who has done research on biofuels' emissions from the farm to the tailpipe.
Tilman said it was the best study on the issue he has seen so far.

That you should see with your own eyes
Kyrgyzstan is often called "little Switzerland" because of the beauty and accessibility of nature. Mountain peaks, fast rivers, alpine pastures, mountain lakes, waterfalls - this is what you will see while traveling around Kyrgyzstan.
Today we will talk about the largest lakes in the country, which you just need to see with your own eyes.
The lake is located at an altitude of 1600 meters. The length of the lake from west to east is 178 km, and from south to north 64 km. The maximum depth is 668 m. About 80 rivers flow into the lake and none flow out. The water in Issyk-Kul lake has a brackish taste and does not freeze in winter. There are 21 species of fish in the lake. In the bays and in the west of the lake, 20-65 thousand birds winter every year (eyetails, mallards, swans, coots, dives).
It is located at an altitude of 3016 m. Length 29 km, width 17 km. The maximum depth is 13 m. About 18 small rivers flow into Son-Kul Lake and only one flows out (Son-Kul River). The water in the lake is fresh. Fish: osman, whitefish, peled. Birds: herons, gulls, ducks and other water birds (about 60 species).
Located at an altitude of 1900 m. Length 7.5 km. The maximum depth is 234 m. On the shore of the lake there's located the Sary-Chelek Biosphere Reserve with an area of 23,900 ha. It is home to 40 species of mammals, 157 species of birds and 1,000 species of herbaceous plants. Lake Sary-Chelek arose as a result of a strong earthquake, which led to a collapse that blocked the path of a mountain river, as a result of which a mountain lake was formed at this place.
It is located at an altitude of 3500 m. The length is 9 km, the width is up to 2 km. From all sides, Kel-Suu is surrounded by steep cliffs with many caves and grottoes.
It is located at an altitude of 3532 m. The depth is about 70 m. The length is 2.8 km. The lake can be reached on foot from the Karakol gorge or Altyn-Arashan valley. Interesting hiking trails with unforgettable views lead to Ala-Kul Lake. And after the hike, you can relax in the hot springs.
The mountain lake Kel-Tor is located 86 km from Bishkek on the northern slopes of the Kyrgyz Range. It is located at an altitude of 2725 meters above sea level. Here you can enjoy walks through the spruce forest and dense thickets of mountain ash, honeysuckle, wild rose, raspberry and barberry, which are later replaced by juniper bushes and alpine meadows. Lake Kol-Tor was formed as a result of an earthquake and is a dam-type lake. The water in the lake has a beautiful turquoise hue.
Lakes of Achik-Tash valley
The Achik-Tash valley is located at an altitude of about 3600 meters above sea level. There are more than 40 alpine lakes here. One of the largest lakes in the valley is Tulpar-Kul Lake. It is within walking distance from the base camp, which attracts tourists. In the reflection of the lake you can see the famous Lenin Peak (7134 m) and take fantastic photos. From the Achik-Tash base camp, you can hike to the nearest peaks and admire the panoramic view of the lakes and Achik-Tash valley.

Two Trees are 150 m apart. From a point halfway between them, the angle of
elevation of their tops is 15°and..? 15°, and 20°.
a)How much taller is one tree than the other?
b) Where would a person have to stand in order to have the angle of elevation to the top of each tree the same?
I can't believe you drew a diagram and can't see how to solve this.
Anyway, looking at the diagram, let the small tree's height be h, and the tall tree's height be H.
h/75 = tan 15°
h = 20.096
H/75 = tan 20°
H = 27.297
So, at what distance x from the smaller tree do they both have the same angle of elevation? At that point the tangent of both angles will be the same:
20.096/x = 27.297/(150-x)
x = 63.6
So, standing 63.6m from the shorter tree, the tops of both trees will have the same angle of elevation, 17.54°

The Purge Film Series through the Years & Now- The First Purge (2018)
Universal’s R-rated film will do it again, come what may. It’s all about taking a risk, displaying what you feel, calling others to action and…? That’s what the Purge series have illustrated. This year’s purge installment comes with a synopsis; there is no beating around the bush. In an attempt to cut the nation’s crime rate by 1%, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) consider an experiment on an isolated community. The sociological theory test is intended to indicate the aggression level of occupants in a single night. Unfortunately, two sides collide and the contagion is made to spread from the isolated community across the nation.
As per the trailer, the horror film displays a havoc that can’t be tamed. Violence, murder, and destruction fill the country and it is all illustrated by the film’s director- Gerard McMurray. James DeMonaco worked on the script and also joins Jason Blum, Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, Andrew Form, and Sebastien Lemercier to produce the film.
Watch The first Purge Online trailer that comes after “The Purge: Election Year (2016)” and it’s also a sequel ‘The Purge’ (2013). Well, everything has hiked when it comes to the upcoming sequel. It is filled with intense moments, illegal activities, and all sorts of hilarious behaviours. On a good note, the Purge franchise brings us Marisa Tomei, who is expected to take up a detective role. She wears a candid face, which surely leaves no room for speculations. She is joined by Lex Scott Davis, Y'Lan Noel, Luna Lauren Velez, Joivan Wade, Steve Harris and Patch Darragh.
Taking the clock back, The Purge franchise first hit the cinemas with “The Purge (2013)”. The franchise is based on a future dystopian America. Although it may seem crazy and insane, it is generally a period where crime is legalized during a 12-hour period in the USA. The series initially received mixed reviews, but that has not prohibited fans from falling for the film each year it is released.
The first installment grossed a total of $89.3 million against a budget of $3 million. James DeMonaco worked on the script and as well directed the film. The film basically starred Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Adelaide Kane, and Max Burkholder.

It starred Zoë Soul, Frank Grillo, Carmen Ejogo, Kiele Sanchez, Zach Gilford, and Michael K. Williams. It grossed $111.9 million against a budget of $11 million. The Purge: Election Year followed and premiered in 2016. James still directed and worked on the script. It grossed a total of $118.6 million against a budget of $11 million. Lastly, “The First Purge” will hit the cinemas on July 4, 2018.

Put people first:
Strong leaders know that their ability to make a difference and impact the bottom line depends on the people who do the work. They readily build others up while knowing that those efforts also impact profitability.
They give people the autonomy they deserve to do their job well, and coach them through the mistakes that will inevitably happen. Strong leaders don’t take credit for the work that others do; they humbly deflect praise back to those who deserve it.
They care about the people who work for them and let them know in their actions.

Solid State Drives, like hard drives, have grown in popularity as a result of their ability to boot up quickly. However, SSDs are also vulnerable to threats and damage of different types. Furthermore, the issue of how to recover data from degraded SSDs arises, since it is a difficult task.
Are you having trouble figuring out how to recover data from a failed SSD? Let us share with you why SSDs fail commonly and the steps for SD card data recovery.
Reasons for Failed Solid State Drive
SSDs, unlike standard hardware, are not prone to mechanical failure or unexpected shocks. Furthermore, SSDs operate in complete silence until they fail. The chances are physical damages or electrical hassles may lead to SSD failure.
Other reasons may include:
- Improper usage of drive
- Damaged system files
- Firmware errors
- Virus infection or Malware
- System Crash and so on
Steps to Data Recovery From Dead SSD
Avoid SSD Repair or Formatting
Any dead SSD that is inaccessible or insignificant can be fixed by formatting. However, the risk of inaccessible data loss is beyond the reach of data recovery. As a result, even though Windows indicates you to do so, never consider having your SSD repaired or formatted.
Specify Drive Letter
Data recovery can be difficult when the SSD volume is not available in File Explorer. Hence, you can use Disk Management Tool to allot the drive letter. The steps for the same are as follows:
- Connect Windows PC with SSD drive using SATA connector or USB converter
- Click to open Disk Management Tool
- Right-click on detailed SSD volume and click on “Change Drive Letter and Paths”
- Choose add and click OK
- You’ll be displayed with the “Format Disk” and “Cancel” option from which click on Cancel
Aside from that, enlisting the help of a professional data recovery company may be beneficial in a variety of ways.
Other Recovery Options Include:
- Update SSD Firmware: Chances are the drive’s firmware is corrupted. Furthermore, bad firmware can affect drives capability to read, write, and access data. Hence, you can run the SSD firmware update to ensure it is up to date.
- SSD Power Cycling: If the power failure is the cause of dead SSD, power cycling can be the solution.
- Update Drivers: Updating drivers following its simple steps can help you see recovered SSD. Simply go to Device Manager>Disk Drives>Right-Click SSD>Reboot System.
- BIOS Booting: BIOS booting is similar to power cycling. The only difference is the system must be kept idle in the boot menu.
Recovering data from failed SSD is a daunting job. However, minimizing drive use will increase the chances of data recovery and make dealing with a failed SSD a lot easier. Furthermore, you can leverage reliable software solutions and services for data recovery in Singapore to save time. Data recovery services from reputable service providers can better assist you in logically retrieving data and fixing the SSD. Also, to avoid such untimely and inconvenient hassles, save your papers, files, or any other digital data on local drives. So, either it is an android data recovery need or want to access Windows PC data, these steps could be beneficial. For further queries, get in touch through the comments section below.

‘Glee’ star Amber Riley came out on the season premier of ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and scored the highest every first night score in the show’s history.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel prepares to initiate the first hydrogen plasma at Wendelstein 7-X on 3 February 2016.

The Wendelstein 7-X fusion device at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Greifswald, Germany produced its first hydrogen plasma on 3 February 2016, marking the start of scientific operation. As the world's largest stellarator, Wendelstein 7-X will investigate the suitability of this type of fusion device for the design of a fusion power plant.
Since the start of operation
on 10 December 2015, Wendelstein 7-X has produced more than 300 discharges with helium. These served primarily to clean the plasma vessel, and as cleanliness increased, plasma temperature increased ... finally attaining six million degrees Celsius. Plasma heating and data recording were also tested during this period and the first measuring instruments for investigating the plasma were put into operation (X-ray spectrometers, interferometers, laser scattering and video diagnostics).
The first hydrogen plasma, which was switched on by German Chancellor Angela Merkel at a ceremony on 3 February 2016, marks the start of scientific operation. A 2 MW pulse of microwave heating transformed a tiny quantity of hydrogen gas into an extremely hot (80 million degrees Celsius) low-density hydrogen plasma for a quarter of a second.
The present initial experimentation phase will last until mid-March. The plasma vessel will then be opened in order to install carbon tiles for the protection of the vessel walls and the divertor. "These facilities will enable us to attain higher heating powers, higher temperatures, and longer discharges lasting up to ten seconds," explained Thomas Klinger project head for Wendelstein 7-X. Successive extensions are planned until, in about four years, discharges lasting 30 minutes can be produced with full heating power of 20 MW.
Wendelstein 7-X, the world's largest stellarator-type fusion device, will not produce energy. The goal is to put the quality of the plasma confinement on a par with that of a tokamak for the very first time. And with discharges lasting 30 minutes, the stellarator should demonstrate its fundamental advantage—the ability to operate continuously. In contrast, tokamaks can only operate in pulses without auxiliary equipment.
The assembly of Wendelstein 7-X began in April 2005. Investment costs of approximately EUR 370 million are being met by the federal and state governments, and also by the European Union. The components were manufactured by companies throughout Europe and numerous research facilities at home and abroad were involved in the construction of the device. Within the framework of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology was responsible for the microwave plasma heating; the Jülich Research Centre built measuring instruments and produced the elaborate connections for the superconducting magnetic coils; installation was carried out by specialists from the Polish Academy of Science in Krakow; and American fusion research institutes at Princeton, Oak Ridge and Los Alamos contributed equipment including auxiliary coils and measuring instruments.

For the Michigan women’s track and field team, winter
break isn’t a time to lay out in a La-Z-Boy recliner,
munching on cheese doodles while watching meaningless bowl games
and “Real World” reruns. These student-athletes must
maintain peak physical condition while enjoying the comforts of
home. As some of their classmates spent the two-and-a-half-week
break wasting away, the Wolverines put in long hours training in
preparation for the upcoming indoor track season.
Just a few seconds can be the difference between a successful
race and a disappointing finish. To keep their times low, locals
participated in two or three structured workouts per week in Ann
Arbor. Those from outside the Ann Arbor area trained on their own
according to guidelines set by their coaches.
And how about the big holiday meals? While aware of the need to
stay in shape, the Wolverines still enjoyed an occasional
“We don’t want to come back 10 pounds heavier, we
want to stay healthy, but nothing too extreme,” freshman
Rachel Ward said.
With the entire squad back in town, the team has resumed its
“We had a workout yesterday, and people are getting back
into the college groove,” said sophomore Laura Brosius.
The Wolverines have little time to prepare. They return to
competition when they host the Jack Harvey Invitational on
Saturday. Michigan’s first intercollegiate meet of the indoor
season should be an important indication of how the team dealt with
“I think that this is one of those meets where people will
begin to see where they are,” said Brosius. “Obviously
everyone won’t be in as good shape as they could be, but
you’ll be able to see what you need to do for the next couple

|Title of journal: ||Geoscientific Instrumentation Methods and Data System|

|Publisher: ||Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union|

|Abstract: ||This paper presents a comparison between standard ionospheric parameters manually and automatically scaled from ionograms recorded at the high-latitude Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory (SGO, ionosonde SO166, 64.1° geomagnetic latitude), located in the vicinity of the auroral oval. The study is based on 2610 ionograms recorded during the period June–December 2013. The automatic scaling was made by means of the Autoscala software. A few typical examples are shown to outline the method, and statistics
are presented regarding the differences between manually and automatically scaled values of F2, F1, E and sporadic E (Es) layer parameters. We draw the conclusions that:
1. The F2 parameters scaled by Autoscala, foF2 and M(3000)F2, are reliable.
2. F1 is identified by Autoscala in significantly fewer cases (about 50 %) than in the manual routine, but if identified
the values of foF1 are reliable.
3. Autoscala frequently (30% of the cases) detects an E layer when the manual scaling process does not. When identified by both methods, the Autoscala E-layer parameters
are close to those manually scaled, foE agreeing to within 0.4 MHz.
4. Es and parameters of Es identified by Autoscala are in many cases different from those of the manual scaling. Scaling of Es at auroral latitudes is often a difficult task.|

Caloundra mum puts travelling with a toddler to the test
MANY people thought we were crazy when we said we were packing up our car and taking our one-year-old daughter on a road trip, and I must admit, we were a little nervous.
What if she wouldn't settle in the car? What if she got sick? What if she was restless and couldn't get to sleep?
But we were also very excited to get out and show her our vibrant country, so, at 5am on a Tuesday morning, we were off.
The first leg of the journey that would take us from our home in Caloundra to Bellingen, NSW, was a five-hour one but we left early enough that bub was still quite happy to fall back to sleep in the car.
One thing we learnt early was that when she woke up we had about half an hour of happy baby until cranky baby kicked in, so that meant stopping about 25 minutes after waking and we were good as gold, even if it was just a 20-minute layover at a service station for a nappy change and a quick run around - it made all the difference.
A chained-up country fence and herd of cows was the first thing we saw as we pulled up outside Bellingen Farmstay, our first stopover for the night.
There were wide open spaces for her to run around, fruit trees for her smell the dangling lemons and oranges, a gang of chickens, ducks and a sheep that followed us around from the moment we parked by our cabin to the moment we left.
She was in toddler heaven. And we loved the fresh air and cosiness of the property too.
Bub had never really been around large farm animals before so meeting horses and cows up close and personal was a big shock, but she loved it.
She threw food to the chickens, the ducks, hand fed the sheep, sat in the enclosure with the guinea pigs and all with a big smile on her face.
After a good night's sleep and a sunrise walk it was on the road again to Telegraph Retreat.
Telegraph Retreat is nestled in bushland about 20 minutes north of Port Macquarie and lived up to all of my (high) expectations.
We were swiftly checked in and driven around to the beautifully secluded Lavender Spa Cottage where we would be spending the night.
This is the type of accommodation where you still get to be romantic - the decor, steamy spa and fireplace calls for it.
But bub was also welcome and well looked after with her own porta cot, soft fluffy blankets, high chair and even some toys.
By the time we settled in to our new home for the night, bub had switched into exploration mode.
She found great joy in touching, and smelling, every plant, picking up every pebble and laughing at every animal - especially the donkey who called out to us over the fence and the mob of kangaroos that made themselves right at home on the 8.5 acre property.
Bub got tired easily after all the play time outside so she was down and out by 6.30pm which meant a romantic, candle-lit three-course dinner delivered to our cottage for mum and dad followed by a soak in the spa.
Leaving was tough. But after a delicious fresh breakfast hamper cooked on the barbecue it was time to hit the road again and this time, we were heading Coast side.
Tonight, we were off to Seal Rocks.
When we pulled up to the lighthouse I knew we were in for a treat. Ocean, sand and dunes as far as the eye could see.
We were checked into the Assistant Keeper's Cottage South, one of only three cottages you can rent out.
We settled in then made the walk up around the point and to the lighthouse. There are no real words to describe the views from here. It is simply breathtaking.
That afternoon we took the opportunity to relax, enjoy our surroundings and watch the world roll by before cooking up a barbecue on the backyard balcony and taking in the fresh ocean air.
The following morning it was up bright and early, as it always is with a toddler, and down to the beach for a swim and a play in the sand before breakfast.
I am not exaggerating when I tell you that we were the only people on the entire beach.
It was like hubby and I had reverted back to being kids too. We all had a blast.
Back in the car and on the road, it was about three hours until we reached our next destination, and perhaps the one we had all been the most excited about - Sydney.
Bub was born in Sydney so we were feeling a bit nostalgic and eager to return.
We were staying at one of the most beautiful, stylish, and yet oh-so kid friendly hotels, the Intercontinental Sydney.
Everything was amazing, and unlike a lot of upper class, inner city hotels, there was never a staff member who looked at us with a turned up nose because we had a toddler tagging along.
It was the opposite. They all loved her, and that made us as parents really able to relax and enjoy ourselves too.
We spent most of the afternoon and night exploring the hotel and enjoying all the finer things in life (yep it's possible even with a toddler) and the following day we hit up some of our favourite places around Sydney and met up with old friends before jumping back in the car and making the trip to our final resting stop, Port Macquarie.
We were checking into Macquarie Waters Boutique Hotel, another bub friendly place with staff that made us feel right at home.
We spent the remainder of the day exploring the sights and sounds of Port and taking a dip in the bubbling waters of the rooftop jacuzzi as the sun sunk lower.
Bub loved splashing around with us in there before a quick nap in our very spacious, very chic room.
We watched the sun set down by the waterfront and enjoyed some Spanish tapas for dinner.
The trip home was a long one. But surprisingly, it was pretty easy going.
We left Port Macquarie after breakfast and a walk to tire bub before the seven-hour stretch back to the Sunshine Coast.
You might think that travelling with a toddler would be stressful and constantly busy.
And even though we had little time in each place and a lot of time on the road, we actually found it to be the opposite.
Bub was so happy to explore that she didn't whinge, or cry, or throw little tantrums.
She was in a whole new world out here and watching her made us the happiest, most relaxed parents we had been in a while too.
So if you are worried about taking your little ones on the road - don't be. Get out there and explore with them. It's one of the best things you could do!

REAL TIME DETECTION KIT P-35S and T-NOS SAMPLE 20 rxn
|Each kit contains: Master Mix, Assay Mix, Positive and Negative Controls|
|Genetically modified (GM) food and feed products have become a reality. For the enforcement of the highly regulated legislation is essential an efficient detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food and feed products. Considering their large diversity (different GM elements in various species), the application of a generic screening for the presence ofGM material is most often the first step in GMO analysis. The promoter 35S obtained from cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) and the terminator NOS from Agrobacterium tumefaciens are the most frequent elements present in transgenic material in food. Real time PCR methods to detect these elements are a reliable strategy to perform this screening.|
P-35S and T-NOS SAMPLE
This test allows the detection of P35S and T-NOS elements in food products after DNA extraction. It can also be used with animal feedstuff and other samples in which GMO detection is needed. Depending on the specific characteristics of the sample, procedures like homogenization and grinding may be necessary before DNA extraction. The kit is suitable for use in real time instruments with FAM and ROX detection channels.

Her father sat by her side, and held one of her hands tightly. There were tears in his eyes, and he tried to speak; but, though his lips moved, there came from them no articulate sound. "Do you forgive me, father? Do you love me, father?" said Fanny, in a tremulous whisper, half rising from her pillow, and looking eagerly, almost agonizingly, into her father's face.
So many changes, so many reforms which must be made. You used to talk to me so eagerly. No more of your people were to be sold into slavery. You were going to stop all that. You were going to silence the mullahs when they preached sedition and to free Chiltistan from their tyranny."
You can depart, sir; I have no further answer for his majesty!" The count, bowing reverentially to the king and queen, left the royal tent. Every eye was fixed upon the prime minister. From him alone, who was considered the soul of the kingdom of Saxony, help and counsel was expected. All important questions were referred to him, and all were now eagerly looking for his decision.
"How is this?" said a voice above them; and looking up, they found that while all had been absorbed in the rescue, the Prince, with his little son in his arms and his wife hanging on his arm, had come to the stone stairs, and was looking down. "Richard overboard!" "A child fell over the bank, my Lord," eagerly shouted the little John, with cap in hand, "and he swam out to pick it up."
"and lightly Sir Gawaine rose upon his feet and pulled out his sword, and dressed him toward Sir Marhaus on foot, and therewith either came unto other eagerly, and smote together with their swords, that their shields flew in cantels, and they bruised their helms and their hauberks, and wounded either other.
Nevertheless, your eyes plunged eagerly through that opening which was made in that place shut off from all glances. A profound vagueness enveloped that form clad in mourning. Your eyes searched that vagueness, and sought to make out the surroundings of the apparition. At the expiration of a very short time you discovered that you could see nothing.
"Well, it's hard work to write," said Ben, yawning. "I'd rather chop wood." "I wish! knew how," exclaimed Joel, longingly. "Just you try every day; Ben'll teach you, Joe," said his mother, eagerly, "and then I'll let you write." "I will!" cried Joe; "then, Dave, you'll see how I'll write I tell you!" "And I'm goin' to ma, can't I?" said Davie, unwilling to be outdone.
It is to be recorded to his honor, that he treated the Indians with great kindness; which, contrasted with the savage conduct of the Spaniards, raised so friendly a feeling toward him, that for years his return was eagerly expected, and at length was hailed with delight.
I know it will be a boy," replied Giselle, eagerly, her fair face brightened by these words. "I have some that are still smaller. Look!" and she lifted up a pile of things trimmed with ribbons and embroidery. "See; these are the first! Ah! I lie here and fancy how he will look when he has them on. He will be sweet enough to eat.
I saw a gentleman descend and step briskly across the pavement to the neighboring stoop. The figure he presented was not that of the man I had seen enter the night before. Late as it was when I retired, I was up betimes in the morning as soon, in fact, as the papers were distributed. The Tribune lay on the stoop. Eagerly I seized it; eagerly I read it.

Age is only a number! Cher, 67, bares her midriff in daring top and wears Cockatiel hairdo on The Voice
She is one of the grand divas of pop.
And 67-year-old Cher tried to roll back the years as she delivered a full-on performance on The Voice grand finale on Tuesday night.
But after 10 years away from performing live on TV, it was clear time had caught up on her stage moves, even if her vocals sounded almost as good as ever as she performed new single Woman's World.
SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO..
What would Sonny say? Cher, 67, bared her midriff and wore a punk hairdo on The Voice on Tuesday
The singer was introduced as 'the Goddess of pop' by host Carson Daly, and while her wooden dancing was disappointing, there was little doubt her vocals are still of a fine vintage.
She channelled her famous '80s look in a black jacket made to look like it was a studded leather coat accompanied by a fishnet top skimming just below her bra along with a short skirt with bondage straps hooked over stockings, and black studded boots.
Perhaps most impressive was her wig, which was spiked like a mohawk with a black streak in the middle looking like a headband.
Grand entrance: Cher was backed by a troupe of singers and had a range of exciting stage props
Coo coo ca choo! The pop legend donned a punk rock Cockatiel inspired wig for her performance
The song itself is clearly aiming to become a dance anthem, though it lacked the memorable pop hooks of her most famous work such as 80s classic If I Could Turn Back Time or her 60s standard Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).
As befits her status, the coaches gave her a standing ovation, though the canny musicians made sure they kept tight poker faces during the performance itself.
Twitter was abuzz during the performance as fans of the show commented on the pop legend’s onstage rendition.
If she could turn back time: Cher would look in even better shape than her svelte backing dancers
Sing-along: But it seems unlikely her latest platter will be a huge hit like many of her older singles
Careful: The diva was really giving it her all as she belted out her new tune with aplomb
'Every single Voice judge's face has said: "try to smile while cringing in horror and discomfort" #Cher #awkward,' tweeted one fan of The Voice, Allison Striano, while another, Julie Peak, quipped:
'Squinting at the TV screen trying to figure out exactly what species of bird died on Cher's head.'
However The Voice's executive producer Mark Burnett insisted: 'So honored to have such a legendary entertainer like @Cher debuting her new song here on #thevoice. That was truly epic.'
Cher was the clear highlight of special guests on The Voice final, even with former coach Christina Aguilera making a comeback appearance.
Treading water: She channelled her famous '80s look in a fishnet top skimming just below her bra
Three times the ladies: But even a crack team of backing dancers could not hide her wooden jiving
Pulling out all the stops: The theatrical director obviously felt it was necessary to jazz up her performance with a laser show
Wearing a short black skirt and pink bra showing through skin colored belly-revealing shirt, she appeared atop a pole to sing alongside Pitbull, in a three-piece suit, on Feel This Moment, another contender for a summer anthem.
Just as eye-catching was Bruno Mars, who joined his large band in all wearing bright red suits and animal skin-patterned shirts, to sing high tempo new single, Treasure.
And equally catchy was country band Florida Georgia Line who were joined by Nelly - looking beefy in a white vest - for their catchy sing-along tune Cruise.
Glory days: Cher was a worldwide sex symbol noted for her daring ensembles such as here in 1989
Another comeback performance: Christina Aguilera and Pitbull also took to the stage for a rousing duet
Crowd pleaser: Bruno Mars sang Treasure to the obvious delight of the fans in the live audience

Genicular Nerve Block
A genicular nerve block is the injection of a local anaesthetic to block the nerves that transmits pain from the knee.
What is the purpose of a facet nerve block?
A genicular nerve block is a diagnostic procedure to determine if the pathologic changes (i.e. arthritis, meniscal tears, etc.) and inflammation within the knee joint is the source of your knee pain. It also confirms that the knee pain will respond well to the actual treatment procedure. If a genicular nerve block works, it will give you relief for up to 24 hours, this may vary from patient to patient. After that, the pain is expected to return to normal. If a reduction in 50% or more in pain is experienced, then we would schedule a treatment called radiofrequency (RF) ablation. In this procedure, the same nerves are cauterized, which typically leads to pain relief for 12-18 months. If this process works well for one knee, it can be performed on the other knee if needed.
How is the procedure performed?
You will be placed on the procedure table. The injection site is sterilized with either iodine or chlorhexidine. The site to be injected is numbed with a local anaesthetic, and a needle is directed to the target area. X-ray guidance is used to ensure proper placement and positioning of the needle. When the needle is properly positioned near the genicular nerve, local anaesthetic is injected to numb that nerve. This will be repeated at multiple sites around the knee to block all genicular nerves.
Will the procedure be painful?
The injection can be painful and we therefore patients receive light IV sedation. IV sedation, combined with local anaesthetic, can make the injection nearly pain free. It allows you to remain very still during the procedure, which can also make the injection easier, faster, and more successful. With IV sedation, you must have a driver to get you home safely afterwards. In addition, you cannot have anything to eat or drink within 6 hours of your appointment (clear liquids are allowed until 2 hours before the procedure). If you take medications for diabetes, these medications may need to be adjusted the morning of the procedure. Your primary care physician can help you with this adjustment.
What are the discharge instructions?
If you received IV sedation do not drive or operate machinery for at least 24 hours after the procedure. You may return to work the next day following your procedure. You may resume your normal diet immediately. Do not engage in any strenuous activity for 24 hours. You should, however, engage in moderate activity that typically causes your usual pain. If the block works, those activities should not be painful for up to hours after the injection. Call the office if you have any of the following: severe pain afterwards (different than your usual symptoms), redness/swelling/discharge at the injection site(s), fevers/chills, difficulty with bowel or bladder functions.
What are the risks and side effects?
The complication rate for this procedure is very low. Whenever a needle enters the skin, bleeding or infection can occur. Some other serious but extremely rare risks include paralysis and death.
You may have an allergic reaction to any of the medications used. If you have a known allergy to any medications, especially local anaesthetics, notify our staff before the procedure takes place.
You may experience any of the following side effects up to 4 hours after the procedure:
Leg muscle weakness or numbness may occur due to the local anaesthetic affecting the nerves that control your legs (this is a temporary affect and it is not paralysis). If you have any leg weakness or numbness, walk only with assistance in order to prevent falls and injury. Your leg strength will return slowly and completely.
Dizziness may occur due to a decrease in your blood pressure. If this occurs, remain in a seated or lying position. Gradually sit up, and then stand after at least 10 minutes of sitting.
Mild headaches may occur. Drink fluids and take pain medications if needed.
Mild discomfort at the injection site can occur. This typically lasts for a few hours but can persist for a couple days. If this occurs, take anti-inflammatories or pain medications; apply ice to the area the day of the procedure. If it persists, apply moist heat in the day(s) following.
The side effects listed above can be normal. They are not dangerous and will resolve on their own. If, however, you experience any of the following, a complication may have occurred and you should either contact your doctor. If he is not readily available, then you should proceed to the closest urgent care centre for evaluation.
