1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates generally to inspecting structures for damage, and more particularly to detecting structure damage by using a sensor array laid on the structure.
2. Background of the Invention
Certain structure failures may result in loss of property and life. For example, aircraft structure failures may be catastrophic. Hence, it's prudent to monitor such structures to avoid catastrophic failures.
Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) techniques are used to monitor such structures. One such technique is based on propagating a wave through an aircraft structure and then observing the echo. This is achieved by placing a probe, containing an ultrasonic transducer, on the structure. The wave propagates through the aircraft in a Z-axis (i.e. the axis which is normal to the surface of the structure). This technique can only inspect a very small area of the aircraft. To monitor and detect damage on a large aircraft structure (for example the wing structure) will require a large number of sensors. This will also increase use of hardware and add weight to the inspection system.
In view of the above, what is needed is a method and system for efficiently monitoring a large area of a structure using one or more stimuli on a large number of sensors.
In one aspect of the present invention, a method for monitoring a structure for damage is provided. The method includes stimulating a sensor in a sensor array; wherein the sensor array includes one or more quadrants; wherein each quadrant includes one or more sensors; acquiring sensor data from all sensors in each quadrant in parallel; processing the sensor data for analysis; comparing the processed sensor data with threshold values to determine the presence of damage to the structure; and notifying a corrective system of the damage for corrective action.
In another aspect of the present invention, a method for monitoring a structure for damage is provided. The method includes (a) laying out a plurality of sensor arrays on the structure; wherein each of the plurality of sensor arrays includes a plurality of quadrants; wherein each quadrant in the plurality of quadrants includes a plurality of sensors; (b) continuously acquiring sensor data from all sensors in each quadrant in parallel; (c) processing the sensor data for analysis; (d) comparing the processed sensor data with threshold values; (e) repeating steps (b)-(d) until damage to the structure is detected; and (f) notifying a corrective system of the damage for corrective action.
In yet another aspect of the present invention, a system for monitoring a structure for damage is provided. The system includes a plurality of sensor arrays on the surface of the structure; wherein each sensor array in the plurality of sensor arrays includes a plurality of quadrants; and wherein each quadrant in the plurality of quadrants includes a plurality of sensors; and a plurality of network detection modules; wherein each network detection module in the plurality of network detection modules acquires sensor data from all sensors in each quadrant in parallel; wherein each network detection module includes a plurality of multiplexers for multiplexing the sensor data from each quadrant into a plurality of single channels with a single channel for each quadrant and a computational engine for comparing the plurality of single channels with predetermined thresholds to determine the presence of damage to the structure.
In yet another aspect of the present invention, system for monitoring a structure for damage is provided. The system includes a plurality of sensor arrays on the boundaries and between the structure; wherein each sensor array in the plurality of sensor arrays includes a plurality of quadrants; and wherein each quadrant in the plurality of quadrants includes a plurality of sensors; and a plurality of network detection modules; wherein each network detection module in the plurality of network detection modules acquires sensor data from all sensors in each quadrant in parallel; where each of the network detection modules are synchronized causing sensors on a first sensor array on a first boundary of the structure to acquire stimulus originating from a second sensor array on a second boundary of the structure; wherein each network detection module includes a plurality of multiplexers for multiplexing the sensor data from each quadrant into a plurality of single channels with a single channel for each quadrant and a computational engine for comparing the plurality of single channels with predetermined thresholds to determine the presence of damage to the structure.
This brief summary has been provided so that the nature of the invention may be understood quickly. A more complete understanding of the invention can be obtained by reference to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments thereof in connection with the attached drawings.
The foregoing features and other features of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings of a preferred embodiment. The illustrated embodiment is intended to illustrate, but not to limit the invention. The drawings include the following:
The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
According to the present invention, a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) System and method for monitoring a large area of a structure for damage using one or more stimuli for a sensor array is provided. Although the method of the present invention is implemented using an aircraft, those skilled in the art will recognize that the principles and teachings described herein may be applied to a variety of structures, including, but not limited to, buildings, automobiles, ships, helicopters, and trains.
The practicality and acceptance of the SHM System is dependent on achieving fast damage detection using Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI) techniques while minimizing the cost, weight and size of the system. The SHM system of the present invention places multiple sensor arrays on a structure and utilizes both active and passive structural damage detection. In active structural damage detection systems, a single sensor in a sensor array stimulates the structure under test while the other sensors in the sensor array measure the resultant structural response. This process continues until all sensors in all of the sensor arrays have been stimulated. In passive structural damage detection, sensors do not stimulate the structure; they simply monitor the structure to detect stress or loads beyond pre-determined limits.
Damage is detected by comparing processed sensor data to threshold values stored in a processing module 20. Threshold values are based on allowable damage type and size for the type of structure from previous testing or from the prior occurrences of damage to the same type of structure. Processing module 20 instructs each NDM 12, 14, 16, 18 to send a stimulus to respective sensor arrays 4, 6, 8, 10, collect the sensor data and send the collected data to the processing module 20 then processing module 20 determines the presence of any damage on structure 2 by comparing the processed sensor data with the threshold values. Sensor data is transmitted from NDMs to processing module 20 using any known type of transmission 19, such as, wireless, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel.
Damage has occurred when the processed sensor data is equal to or greater than the threshold values. If damage is detected, processing module 20 notifies a corrective system 22, such as the airplane maintenance system, that there is a problem that requires correction.
A large area of structure 2 is inspected for damage using one or more stimuli on a large number of sensors. Instead of propagating the wave through structure 2 in the Z-axis as in the prior art, the present invention propagates the wave along the surface of structure 2 (i.e. Bulk, Rayleigh or Lamb waves in the x and y axis). The collected sensor data includes wave characteristics as the waves travel along the surface, i.e. reflections of the traveling waves, diffractions of the waves or a dispersion curve of the waves which indicates the nature or quality of the material or structure being inspected or monitored.
A CANBUS, AFDX, ARINC 429, ARJNC 629, modem, integrated services digital network (ISDN) connection, or the like (not shown) also provides processing module 20 with a network connection.
Also shown in
A random access memory (“RAM”) 42 also interfaces with computer bus 40 to provide microprocessor 36 with access to random access memory. When executing stored computer-executable process steps from storage device 34, microprocessor 36 stores and executes the process steps out of RAM 42.
A read only memory (“ROM”) 44 is provided to store invariant instruction sequences such as start-up instruction sequences or basic input/output operating system (BIOS) sequences. ROM 44 also interfaces with computer bus 40.
Processing module 20 can be connected to other computing systems and corrective system 22 through a network interface 46 using computer bus 40 and a network connection (not shown). Network interface 46 may be adapted to one or more of a wide variety of networks, including local area networks, storage area networks, wide area networks, the Internet, and the like.
In one aspect of the invention monitoring software may be supplied on a CD-ROM or a floppy disc, or alternatively it could be read from the network via network interface 46. In yet another aspect of the invention, processing module 20 can load the monitoring software from other computer readable media such as magnetic tape, a ROM, integrated circuit, or a magneto-optical disc. Alternatively, the monitoring software is installed onto storage device 34 of processing module 20 using an installation program, and it is executed using microprocessor 36.
The present invention is not limited to using a microprocessor, a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processor or a hardware state machine may be used to determine the presence of damage to a structure.
In yet another aspect, the monitoring software may be implemented by using an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) (not shown) that interfaces with processing module 20.
In one aspect, there are nine transducers per quadrant and eight quadrants per array; however the number could be greater or smaller, depending on transducer layout and equipment constraints. Each NDM simultaneously acquires data from all transducers within each quadrant reducing the transducer acquisition time to less than 1 ms for each quadrant and less than 8 ms for an entire array in the case of nine transducers/quad and eight quads/array. As shown in
Groups of transmission lines 51-67 are connected to a protection circuit 50 to protect against spikes in data and are then input into a sensor quadrant to ADC input channel matrix map 69. As there are only 45 unique inputs (as there are 45 sensors), matrix map 69 makes duplicate connections for sensors that are in one or more quadrants. For example, referring to
Transducers are typically electro-mechanical conversion devices that convert mechanical strain or motion to electrical currents and/or voltages and vice-versa. Although in the preferred embodiment, the sensors are transducers, any sensor that results in a voltage or current source may be used and monitored.
Each NDM may operate simultaneously allowing all transducers attached to processing module 20 to be monitored in less than 10 ms during passive damage detection. All NDM activities are synchronized using a common, low-speed clock allowing the stimuli from one NDM to be acquired by surrounding NDMs during active damage detection. Transducers may also be monitored for extended periods of time, such as during monitoring for hard landing events of the aircraft, using a memory bank swap technique that allows transducer data to be stored for 30 seconds, and then swapped with another memory for another 30 seconds, while the first memory is uploaded to processing module 20. This process can be repeated until the memory limitations in processing module 20 are reached (greater than 30 minutes).
Each NDM within system 5 stimulates a sensor in the sensor array and captures the wave data as it propagates through the structure.
In step S902, the sensor data is collected by computational engine 88 and is uploaded to processing module 20 for analysis. The sensors may not transmit the data that is in a format readable by corrective system 22, which is where all the data goes. Computational engine 88 collects a series of data samples from each sensor that represents a waveform that has been captured over a period of time. That waveform will then be processed by processing module 20 to determine how fast the wave was traveling as well as determining if there were any echoes in the wave. For example, if a characteristic of a structural defect exists when a wave is propagating across it, a reflection from the beginning part of the defect and also from the back part will be seen. By propagating the wave in multiple directions, a composite can be built that shows the defect including the shape, using an intersection of all the reflections. The sensor data is being fused together into one picture of the structure.
In step S903, the acquired data is compared with the threshold values stored in the processing module to determine if there is damage to the structure. In step S904, based on the compared data, the presence of any damage is detected. Finally, in step S905, a corrective system is notified for corrective action. Notification can be to the aircraft maintenance system, an alarm, an email or a phone call to technician—service department.
Referring again to
The NDM accomplished all of the path data acquisitions in the example shown in
The same steps as described in
Since each NDM is independent in SHM system 5 of the present invention, all transducer arrays in an SHM System can be stimulated and acquired in the same time of 123 ms. So, the time required to interrogate a structure is independent of the number of transducer arrays in SHM System 5.
Prior art systems do the same path acquisition, but only work with two transducers at a time. So to accomplish the path acquisitions in
Each NDM accomplishes the passive mode, i.e. listening to the structure for impact or stress events, almost approaching real-time, in exactly the same manner as the active mode only no stimulus is used. The advantage of using the passive method is that it is much faster than the active mode. A complete scan of a transducer array can be accomplished in 2.7 ms, and given the independence of the NDMs in the SHM System architecture of the present invention, all sensors can be scanned in 2.7 ms. Most impact or stress events of damage magnitude occur over tens to hundreds of milliseconds, so several scans will be made of the structure during these events eliminating the possibility of missing a damaging stress or impact event.
The NDM acquires data whose signal dynamic range is greater than 65 dB under these circumstances. To do this, the NDM employs switchable gain stages, reducing the gain (Av=0.1) during the stimulus generation time, then increasing the gain (Av=25) during the “listening” time, acquiring data during the entire activity. The health of each stimulated sensor can be determined by analyzing the pulse-echo data, thus allowing automatic detection of failed sensors. The NDM automatic acquires Pulse-Echo data every time a stimulus is generated.
The method and system of the present invention is advantageous over prior art systems in that the present invention provides for the simultaneous capture of sensor data from sensor arrays reducing acquisition time. Hence, fast damage detection is achieved while minimizing the cost, weight and size of the system. Furthermore, the present invention can monitor and inspect large areas of a structure, such as a wing of an aircraft.
While the present invention is described above with respect to what is currently considered its preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to that described above. To the contrary, the invention is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

"This is one of the nicest Acrylic paint sets I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Soul art studio, the maker, has done an excellent job. The colors are vibrant, and the tubes are completely filled. In the past with other brands I will not mention, they had large air bubbles in them, and I was not getting the weighed amount, not so with this brand. They did NOT arrive quickly, but that was due to natural disasters in our countries weather and could not be helped by anyone. The drying time for this paint is about an hour. I imagine that will vary due to the thickness of paint used. I could find no flaws or defects with this set and can with my head held high recommend this to everyone."

Welp...I fell off the face of the earth with this diabetes awareness challenge. Father than catching up let me just cover today and yesterday....highs and lows. The highs and lows are many and often and for reasons that can’t be predicted.
Highs leave me exhausted and like my feet are in cement. Also gives me muscle aches, pounding heart, heavy breathing, among other things. Highs obviously can come from high carb foods, but also from illness, viruses, extreme heat, stress, call me crazy but I’d say also this Bay area smoke has been a stress to my system causing unexplained highs the past week. Highs are annoying and frustrating and make me feel I’ve done something wrong to cause it which isn’t the case. Highs over time can cause health complications like retinopathy, neuropathy, kidney damage, heart disease, and chronic infections and circulation problems.
Lows on the other hand are super scary in the moment. A low is anything below 70. Shaky hands and legs, blurred vision, racing heart, sweaty pin prick sensations, confusion, panic. The loss of consciousness is a very real possibility. With a low you need a fast acting source of sugar like juice, glucose tabs, or a glucagon shot.
Highs have long term complications. Lows have immediate life threatening complications.
Last night my dexcom was alarming urgent low twice within two hours, both while I was sleeping. Both required what felt like carb loading in the middle of the night. The second one triggered a rebound high. Needless to say sleep was difficult after all that.
This invisible illness is exhausting to manage. .

JCPS, Bullitt, Oldham, archdiocese schools heed Beshear's call to close over coronavirus
Answering Gov. Andy Beshear's call to stem the spread of the coronavirus, schools across Kentucky — including Jefferson County Public Schools, the state's largest district — announced they would shut down their classrooms for weeks.
JCPS, a district of nearly 100,000 students, will close Monday and remain shuttered until April 6. The Archdiocese of Louisville Catholic Schools also will close for that period.
Beshear called on all Kentucky public and private K-12 schools to close for at least two weeks — an aggressive but necessary move, he said, after announcing two new confirmed coronavirus cases, bringing the statewide total to 10.
A K-12 shutdown would affect nearly 1,500 public schools and roughly 650,000 public school students.
"I know it is going to create a big challenge," Beshear said during an evening press conference in Frankfort, but added that the closures are a "crucial step" to stemming the spread of COVID-19.
[Want to know all the Kentucky-related coronavirus news? Download our app.]
Beshear said his instructions represented a "significant recommendation" for local districts. Following his instructions, a flood of districts, including JCPS, Bullitt County Public Schools and Oldham County Schools, announced closures.
JCPS Superintendent Marty Pollio said students may continue learning from home, using online lessons or paper copies of assignments. The assignments aren't mandatory.
With the closure, JCPS will miss nine instructional days in addition to its previously scheduled spring break. Pollio said those nine days likely will be tacked on to the end of the school year, pushing the final day of school to June 10.
Kentucky coronavirus live updates: Get the latest information here
A new bill advancing in the state legislature would allow Kentucky districts to use 20 days of "non-traditional instruction" during the closures. Schools that implement remote learning during those days, through online or paper-based assignments, would not have to make up missed days at the end of the year.
Under that program, schools must attest to student learning during a closure.
Pollio said JCPS would not pursue that route, saying not all families have the resources needed to continue student learning at home.
Instead, JCPS said it would ask lawmakers to forgive its missed days — despite not taking part in the official nontraditional instruction program. If lawmakers take action, JCPS' final day of school would not be pushed back, said district spokeswoman Renee Murphy.
"We are asking lawmakers to forgive any days missed due to preventing the spread of the coronavirus," Murphy said. "As it stands right now, we would make up those days at the end of the year, but we are asking for forgiveness."
Beshear's call for statewide school closures came after he had warned each of the state's 172 school districts to be prepared to close on short notice.
JCPS will close:What parents need to know about assignments, meals
The Kentucky Department of Education had previously directed all districts to develop plans for continuing lessons from afar, should schools close. Before Beshear's directive, several districts already had announced monthlong closures.
The call for statewide K-12 closures comes after a similar announcement from the governor of Ohio. Gov. Mike DeWine announced Thursday afternoon all public schools there would have an "extended spring break" of three weeks, beginning Monday.
Maryland also announced it would shut down schools from Monday through March 27.
Taken together, the Ohio, Maryland and Kentucky closures will affect roughly 3.2 million students. Before the statewide shutdowns, more than 1 million students across nearly 30 states already had been affected by coronavirus-related school closures, according to the journal Education Week.
The U.S. Department of Education released guidance Thursday for how the nation's K-12 schools should handle closures, including how to serve special education students.
Schools continuing learning remotely should to the "greatest extent possible" ensure students are receiving services normally granted under their individualized education program or 504 plan. That means some students' take-home materials should be modified based on student need.
The federal Education Department also announced that it would consider granting one-year waivers to states should coronavirus closures affect their ability to implement standardized testing — meaning that schools wouldn't be held accountable for poor scores or for being unable to test their students.
JCPS' closure is expected to leave some parents scrambling for child care. Grandparents who may be typically pulled for emergency care are more susceptible to the virus — and children often do not show symptoms.
All events scheduled during the closure, including sports leagues, are canceled, JCPS said. With the last day of school now pushed back, high school graduations will likely be later than previously expected.
JCPS will offer free lunch to all students, regardless of family income, while schools are closed. Meals will be available for pickup Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. JCPS will offer more than 30 school meal sites and eight mobile meal sites.
Meals must be taken to go, via drive-thru or walk-up service, the district said.

LEARNING FROM ANGER
About twenty years ago Kay and I were driving along and I asked a question that got an answer I had not expected. We had just been with a friend who was struggling with anger that was harmful to him and to those close to him. Musingly I asked Kay, “Do you think I’m an angry person?” There was a long silence and I knew I was in trouble! Eventually she said something to the effect that I had a core of anger and by discipline I kept it under control so most people never saw it. It only came out with her and our sons. Very painful to hear, but it set me on a journey to let God deal with this in my life.
One of the first things we did was ask God to heal this in my life. Next we signed up for a weekend seminar on anger. There were many new ideas from that weekend. The one that was the most helpful was for me to follow the pain trail back to the source of anger. Later my study brought the same idea from Dallas Willard:
“Anger indulged, instead of simply waved off, always has in it an element of self-righteousness and vanity. The importance of the self and the real or imaginary wound received is blown out of all proportion by those who indulge anger.” The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard
And this also led to the idea that anger is an emotion that hides the true emotion in the situation. It is a masking emotion. The key to dealing with anger is to recognize the emotion underneath the anger. All of these emotions have in common, pain that has us focused on ourselves rather than on Jesus and others.
Some of the roots of anger
- Pain and abuse in our lives that has not been healed by forgiveness and leaves us with resentment and bitterness.
- Shame and guilt for the wrong things we have done that hurt others and ourselves.
- Fear of failure that can only be resolved by trusting in the life of Jesus lived in us in the fearful situation.
- Loneliness with the accompanying feelings of not being esteemed or of being unworthy.
- Feelings of inferiority that arise from any of the four ideas just mentioned.
In some people anger is hidden behind other emotions. If we grow up being taught that anger is always wrong than our anger remains hidden from us. This is often true for those of us who are forthright followers of Jesus. We control or bury our anger so we will not dishonor Jesus. We think of being disappointed in people or feeling low or some other emotion that explains our discomfort rather than admitting we are angry and learning to deal with it in a positive way.
C.S. Lewis helped me see the tyranny of my anger in our home when he wrote:
“Did we pretend to be angry about one thing when we knew, or could have known, that our anger had a different and much less presentable cause? Did we pretend to be “hurt” in our sensitive and tender feelings when envy, ungratified vanity, or thwarted self-will was our real trouble? Such tactics often succeed. The other parties give in. They give in not because they don’t know what is really wrong with us but because they have known it only too well, and that sleeping dog can be roused only at the cost of imperiling their whole relationship with us. It needs surgery, which they know we will never face. And so we win: by cheating. Indeed what is commonly called “sensitiveness” is the most powerful engine of domestic tyranny, sometimes a lifelong tyranny. How we should deal with it in others I am not sure; but we should be merciless at its first appearance in ourselves. C.S. Lewis in Reflections on the Psalms
Weapons employed by anger
- Shouting and physical violence
- Holding in contempt; devaluing; name calling
- Depression which is anger turned inward
- Manipulation and control to dominate the person
- Righteous reasonableness that overwhelms the other
- The silent treatment
- Playing the martyr
The Apostle Paul is very clear that we have the choice on whether or not we use these weapons. In letters to the fellowship in Ephesus he writes: “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger.” I can choose to be angry or I can choose to lay down my weapons and “be kind and compassionate and forgiving.” Thomas Merton writes, “A temperamentally angry man may be more inclined to anger than another. But as long as he remains sane he is still free not to be angry.” Thoughts in Solitude by Thomas Merton
Anger is not evil
A very helpful insight was to discover that anger was an emotion that is part of God’s nature and therefore not wrong in itself. Paul wrote, “In your anger do not sin.” Anger is not always sin. Lewis B. Smedes wrote it this way:
“I think that anger and forgiving can live together in the same heart. You are not a failure at forgiving just because you are still angry that a painful wrong was done to you. Anger is the executive power of human decency. If you do not get angry and stay angry when a bad thing happens, you lose a piece of your humanity.” Forgive and Forget by Lewis B. Smedes
Anger becomes sin when it is indulged and that is why we are to deal with it in a positive way before the sun goes down. If it is buried – it is buried alive and when it resurfaces it inflicts the pain that has been festering on all those near us. So Smedes adds these thoughts:
“Express your malice, but you need to express it to somebody who can help you get rid of it. You can express it secretly to God, or to someone who represents God to you. Then, you can let God handle those people you would like to manhandle in your hate. If they need teaching, let God teach them. If they need rescuing from their own stupidity, let God rescue them. If they need saving from their own crazy wickedness, let God save them. Malice is a misery that needs healing. Anger is energy that needs direction. After malice, let anger do its reforming work. Forgiving and anger can be partners in a good cause.”
What is the reforming work that anger can do? First of all it can focus for us our need to stay on the journey with Jesus in which he is moving us from self-centeredness to being centered in him. As this is happening it can also produce in us a desire to right the wrongs that have stirred us to anger. But in this reforming work we have to be on guard against the seductiveness of “self-righteous anger”. Willard writes.
“Anger and condemnation, like vengeance, are safely left to God. We must beware of believing that it is okay for us to condemn as long as we are condemning the right things. It is not so simple as all that. I can trust Jesus to go into the temple and drive out those who were profiting from religion, beating them with a rope. I cannot trust myself to do so.”
And Willard adds another caution and some counsel in this matter of anger doing its reforming work.
“Feelings are, with a few exceptions, good servants. But they are disastrous masters. The proper course of action is to replace destructive feelings with others that are good, or to subordinate them—anger and sexual desire, for example—in a way that makes them constructive and transforms their effects. The process of spiritual formation in Christ will do this by grace—effectively and intelligently received, and put into constant practice.” Renovation of the Heart by Dallas Willard
What am I learning about the positive benefits of anger in my life.
- I am learning the power of forgiveness. Forgiveness frees me to care about the person who angers me and to care about the people they have hurt.
- I am learning to follow the trail of pain in my life to expose the places where I have been wounded; the things for which I am ashamed; and the ways I have become fearful. And I am discovering healing from the Lord and from my friendships with others.
- I am learning to use the energy of anger to pray for people and situations in Africa and other parts of the world where my natural inclination is to “beat tyrants with a rope.” In fact, as anger is less a destructive force in my life it is giving me greater passion for the work of the Kingdom in all the things God gives me to do.

The Mighty Guild - Administration
This primary challenge of this project was to setup the corporation and all of the business and financial systems required to support the effort. The growing team would be dispersed throughout the continental United States. Services need to support teams on different time zones and on multiple business, creative and technical contracts.
The systems selected need to meet the initial size and complexity requirements of the team while having depth to expand and grow as the organization grows. The services and products must be web-based and in "the cloud" providing a virtual organization that can be flexible based on geographic location and support asynchronous work patterns.
A formal corporation was setup, business bylaws and company policies defined, and marketing materials and identity defined. Core foundation exists, yet business venture is still seeking members and business opportunities to spur growth.
I chose several services for each need.
- Google Docs
suite of services (email, document, presentation, video conferencing, groupware)
for decoupled communication and logging
(cloud hosting and development workflow for Drupal and Wordpress)
(for CRM, sales and marketing and conversion sales work)
(for task and testing ticket management)
- And several services vendors for CDN, mail, etc.
The core systems provide a foundation for the company to provide knowledge share, communicate, and grow!

Abstract The bubble size distribution of ionized hydrogen regions probes information about the morphology of H II bubbles during reionization. Conventionally, the H II bubble size distribution can be derived from the tomographic imaging data of the redshifted 21 cm signal from the epoch of reionization, which, however, is observationally challenging even for upcoming large radio interferometer arrays. Given that these interferometers promise to measure the 21 cm power spectrum accurately, we propose a new method, which is based on artificial neural networks, to reconstruct the H II bubble size distribution from the 21 cm power spectrum. We demonstrate that reconstruction from the 21 cm power spectrum can be almost as accurate as being directly measured from the imaging data with fractional error \(\lesssim\)10%, even with thermal noise at the sensitivity level of the Square Kilometre Array. Nevertheless, the reconstruction implicitly exploits the modeling in reionization simulations, and hence the recovered H II bubble size distribution is not an independent summary statistic from the power spectrum, and should be used only as an indicator for understanding H II bubble morphology and its evolution.

Napoli's players are sorry for some rumors circulating these days, De Laurentiis still furious.
The players of the Naples
they know the president Aurelio De Laurentiis
he's in Los Angeles. As revealed by today's edition of Rome
, after the rebellion in the after-Salzburg they have not seen him. The president will probably return the day before Milan-Napoli
, and after the game, on Monday 25th to be precise, the players will receive the dispute for the mutiny. Beyond what will be the legitimate defenses of the athletes, the players agreed that the best thing is to have a clarification with the president, finalized to speak then to the fans and to apologize for what happened. To understand if the strategy of the players (who would also talk with Ancelotti) will simply serve to apologize to the fans and the company, or it will be finalized to find justifications for what happened. Difficult, however, especially if the authorization to speak with the fans will come from De Laurentiis, still furious at what has happened.
Certainly there is that i players are sorry: especially for the rumors that have been circulating these days. Starting from the rumors of "escape" of the wives of many players after the incidents of crime against Allan and Zielinski. But not only that: there were also rumors of the desire of many players to leave, with lots of negotiations for interrupted renewals and a collective "escape" for January. Not to mention unfounded rumors about a real "purge", which De Laurentiis would do in January, but that on which there are no conditions.

Call it a bike-by swiping.
Police said a man riding a red road bicycle has been zipping around grabbing women’s cell phones right out of their hands.
According to cops, on Fri., Sept. 25, around 5:40 p.m., a 28-year-old woman was snapping photos at 14th St. and Fifth Ave., when the cycling cell-phone snatcher rode by and took her new-model iPhone 11 out of her grasp. The victim was not injured.
The iPhone had a cell-phone wallet case, which contained the victim’s identification and credit cards. Later that day, the robber used the victim’s plastic to make unauthorized purchases online and at a GameStop store down the block from the scene of the snatching, police said.
This bike bandit apparently really gets around. About an hour before the 14th St. rolling robbery, police said, he targeted a 71-year-old woman near Times Square as she was walking northbound on Seventh Ave. at 40th St. Again, the eagle-eyed filcher’s phone of choice was an iPhone 11, which he yanked from her hand and sped off. The woman was uninjured.
The suspect is described as being in his late teens, with a slim build and black hair. He was last seen wearing a black backpack, a black T-shirt, blue jeans, white-and-black sneakers and riding a red bicycle with drop-down handlebars.
Police released surveillance video showing the individual after the Midtown robbery and a surveillance image of him from the GameStop at 32 E. 14th St.
Police ask that anyone with information call the New York Police Department’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Tips can also be submitted on the Crime Stoppers Web site at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or on Twitter at @NYPDTips.

Meanwhile, interest rates for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages dropped to a record low 2.6 percent from as high as 6.5 percent in 2006 and 2007, Wei said.
“We have never seen that before,” Wei said. “So that’s why people were rushing into the market.”
Low interest rates often drive housing market shifts, according to Investopedia.
The real estate group published a report Monday finding that home sales soared as expected in March and April compared to last year, when the pandemic shutdown in the spring triggered a drop in housing sales, according to the association. So far this year, monthly home sales increased for three consecutive months.
Prices increased all over California.
- The median price of an existing single-family detached home in the Los Angeles area rose to $725,000 in April, an increase of $45,000 from a month earlier. The L.A. area’s median home price was $550,000 just a year ago.
- The San Francisco Bay Area saw its median home price jump to a staggering $1.328 million in April from $1.225 million in March.
- Orange County saw its median home price increase to $1.1 million in April from $1.025 million in March. It was $861,000 in April 2020.
San Bernardino County bucked the trend by showing a decrease in median home price to $405,000 in April from $412,000 in March.
Statewide, April home sales increased 2.6 percent in April to 458,170 from 446,410 in March, the association said. That was a 65.1 percent increase over the 277,440 homes sold a year earlier on an annualized basis.
The metrics are bad news for low-income Californians and even for middle-class residents who are looking to buy a home.
“Not only do skyrocketing home prices threaten already-low homeownership levels and make it harder for those who don’t already have a home to purchase one, it also brings to question the sustainability of this market cycle,” said Jordan Levine, the association’s vice president and chief economist.
Statewide housing affordability reached its lowest level since mid-2018, the association reported last week. The percentage of home buyers who can afford to purchase a median-priced existing single-family home in California in the first quarter of 2021 dropped to 27 percent from 35 percent in the first quarter of 2020, the association said.
Wei predicted that home pricing could remain high for the rest of 2021 because of a shortage of housing. And the state likely won’t see a big enough jump in housing development to fill the gap, Wei said.
As the economy reopens, lower-priced housing may start to come back onto the housing market, Wei said. But interest rates may also go up.
“At some point, interest rates are going to start rising, especially since the economy is going to start picking up,” he said. “The pace of growth is going to probably be a little slower in May or Juen.”
The California Association of Realtors has more than 200,000 members and is headquartered in Los Angeles. Read its full report here.

klein, skaaldier creatures called barnacles are linked to crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. Let us discuss a few characteristics of barnacle in detail.
- Branching (biramous) aanhangsels are a distinctive feature of barnacles.
- Along with paired appendages that function as jaws and three pairs of biting mouthparts, barnacles has two pairs of antennae that protrude in front of its mouth.
- Calcium and chitin make up the exoskeleton of barnacles.
- Two larval stages exist in barnacles. Nauplius is the name of the first larval stage, while cyprid is the name of the next stage.
- Barnacles are encrusters that temporarily cling to objects with hard surfaces or to symbionts like whales, sea snakes, or other crustaceans like crabs or lobsters.
- Acorn barnacles, the most prevalent of all, are sessile, meaning that their shells develop directly on the substrate. Pedunculate barnacles use a stalk to cling to surfaces.
- Due to the hermaphroditic nature of the Balanus barnacle, it can cross-fertilize with its neighbours. When the time comes for the stationary barnacles to internally fertilise each other’s eggs, living in close quarters is advantageous.
- Within its shell, the barnacle raises fertilised eggs.
- Gases are exchanged between the barnacle’s body walls and cirri (feathery appendages) act as gills in their absence.
- Barnacles do not require walking legs because they are sessile creatures. In order to transfer tiny food particles to their mouth inside their protective plates, they use their modified legs known as cirri.
- Barnacles are partial parasites.
Let us discuss if barnacles are parasites, producer, arthropods, carnivores, if it is extinct and many other related questions in this article.
Are barnacles parasites?
Any creature which lives on a host species and obtains sustenance at the risk of its host is referred to as a parasite. Let us know if barnacles are parasites or not.
Barnacles are regarded in part as parasites. The rhizocephalan barnacle, an intracellular parasite, has one of the strangest body designs of all of them. They spread throughout the host’s body and even change the host’s behaviour and appearance.
Are barnacle a producer?
Producers are organisms that make their own sustenance from uncomplicated inorganic elements. Let us know if barnacles are producers.
Barnacles are not considerd as producers. Due to their dependence on other living things for survival, barnacles are consumers.
Are barnacles animals or plants?
Barnacles are sessile organisms. Let us explore if they are diere of plante.
Barnacles are considered as animals. These are essentially crustaceans, similar to lobsters, crabs, and shrimp, despite their shell-like coating giving them the appearance of mollusks. In its larval stage, they resemble small shrimp and swim in the water as zooplankton.
Are barnacles arthropods?
geleedpotiges are invertebrate creatures with paired jointed legs, an exoskeleton, and a segmented body. Let us know if barnacles are arthropods.
Barnacles are considered as arthropods as they have jointed legs. Additionally, they have segmented body, bilateral symmetry, chiton-based exoskeleton and open circulatory system. They share kinship with spiders, crabs and lobsters.
Are barnacles autotrophs?
An organism that synthesises its food by utilising the simple inorganic chemicals is considered as outotrofe. Let us know if barnacles are autotrophs.
Barnacles cannot be considered as autotrophs instead they are heterotrophs, because they cannot carry out photosynthesis just like microorganisms, protozoa, and plants.
Are barnacles abiotic or biotic?
Abioties factors are non-living components of an ecosystem while biotic factors are the living components. Let us see if barnacles are abiotic or biotic.
Barnacles are biotic components as they can move and alter its surroundings. It can have impact on its surrounding.
Are barnacles crustaceans?
skaaldiere are organisms having segmented body, tough external carapace, two pairs of antennae, and jointed limbs. Let us see if barnacles are crustaceans.
Barnacles belong to the subphylum Crustaceans. They have all the characteristic features of the subphylum. In their larval stage, when they swim as oceanic zooplankton, they resemble small shrimp.
Are barnacles coral?
koraal have a calcium, hairy or soft skeleton and are stationary coelenterates of warm, tropical waters. Let us explore if barnacles are coral.
Barnacles cannot be considered as corals. Meanwhile they remain associated with corals. Rigid calcium plates that are secreted by barnacles totally enclose them. The crustacean is surrounded by a white cone consisting of six calcium plates.
Are barnacles carnivores?
An organism known as a karnivoor mostly consumes meat or animal flesh. Let us know if barnacles are carnivores.
Barnacles are not carnivores. Due to their ability to consume both living organisms and decomposing debris, barnacles are considered omnivores. The majority of species eat bits of dead plants and animals floating in the water as well as living or dead microorganisms.
Are barnacle extinct?
Die frase "uitwissing” refers to the end of a particular type of organism or a set of types, typically a species. Let us see if barnacles are extinct .
Barnacles are not extinct. They are widely present as partial parasites associated with whales, corals and other aquatic organisms.
How are barnacles formed?
Barnacles are parasitic crustaceans. Let us find out how barnacles are formed.
Listed below shows how barnacles are formed:
- Barnacles continue to expand by incorporating new material into their severely calcified plates once transformation is complete. They then attain their mature size.
- Even though these plate are not shed, barnacles will nonetheless shed its cuticle, just like all ecdysozoans do.
- The majority of barnacles also have male and female reproductive organs, making them hermaphrodites.
- However, they need a neighbour to fertilise them in order to produce baby barnacles.
- A retractable tube with sperm can extend several inches outside the shell to fertilise a nearby barnacle.
Are barnacles invertebrates?
A vertebral column originating from the notochord does not exist in invertebrates. Let us know if barnacles are ongewerwelde.
Barnacles are invertebrate organism. They belong to phylum arthropods and sub phylum Crustaceans. They have chitinous exoskeleton. They lack notochord or vertebral column.
Are barnacles mammals?
Mammals are the organisms that give birth to their child and have mammary glands. Let us see if barnacles are mammals.
Barnacles cannot be considered as mammals as they lack the desired characteristics to be declared as mammals.
Are barnacles triploblastic?
Drievoudig are the organisms having all the the germ layers. Let us see if barnacles are triploblastic.
Barnacles are triploblastic as they belong to phylum arthropod and all arthropods have three germ layer that is, epidermis, mesoderm, and endoderm. Therefore they are considered as triploblastic.
As a summary of this article, we can state that barnacles are filter-eating organisms that are essential to the food chain. They are members of the phylum of arthropods and the subphylum of crustaceansh. They are primarily parasites that rely on their hosts for nourishment and shelter.

The Consensus Conference on Environmental Protection ended yesterday with a laundry list of bold initiatives to accomplish on short notice.
Discussion at this year's conference focused on whether the total number of the country's motor vehicles, including motorcycles and cars, should be regulated.
The final report advised limiting the number of motor vehicles and gradually reducing the total number of cars per person.
The so-called "consensus among the participants" suggested that within two years, the government should create a detailed list of standards for pollutants emitted from the motorcycles and cars.
It should also establish a timeline to establish when emissions goals should be met.
Meanwhile, motor vehicles that fail to pass the government standards, such as carbon dioxide emission and energy use, would be upgraded or taken off the road.
The government should also start levying taxes on energy, carbon and road usage, the consensus report said.
Buyers of motor vehicles may be asked to pay more in applying for car licenses or pay a premium on parking spaces.
Those who own more than one vehicle may be asked to pay an "environmental impact tax," a progressive tax rate that would be set specifically to regulate the number of motor vehicle owners.
The conference was held over four consecutive weekends. Participants included 17 people with different backgrounds from different parts of the country.
Individual representatives from the Taiwan Transportation Vehicle Manufacturers Association, as well as government officials from the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and the departments of transportation in both the Taipei City and Taipei County Governments participated in the conference
At yesterday's press conference, however, only four people in favor of tighter regulations were on stage to present the final report.
The presentation yesterday displayed only the consensus positions reached. The report gave no details regarding points on which the participants failed to agree.
When asked by the Taipei Times whether industry representatives would have difficulty implementing the suggestions, all four representatives avoided confronting the issue directly.
"We are only asking the government to regulate those vehicles that fail to pass the air pollution standards, not all vehicles," said Ke Shao-hua (
Responding to the suggestions, EPA Deputy Minister Chang Tzi-chin (
"The conclusions were to be expected," Chang said, "We will take the suggestions on board and see what we can accomplish."

Bounce houses and other inflatable devices have long been considered to be among the best in popular summertime entertainment, and will continue to be for a long, long time. The appeal of bouncing among friends and siblings on a bright, shiny day all day long stretches far and wide across the country, attracting the interest of children and parents alike. Part of this mass appeal of bounce houses is their appearance. Often, the most popular bounce houses will contain color schemes that shine brightly under the sun, attracting the attention of your friends and neighbors for an exciting summer day. This is definitely a main reason why multiple different colors in a rainbow design pattern are used to create some of the most popular, enduring bounce houses for the suburbs, cities, and beyond.
Part of the charm of inflatable devices is the ability of their designers and manufacturers to pick just the right combination of colors to create memorable themes and to bring a user’s imagination to life. Some colors work far better than others to bring out the right feelings during bouncing. For instance, bouncers with an ocean theme are more likely to use blue in their design to bring out images and feelings rather than red or orange. Bounce houses with a full rainbow color scheme use each color equally and evenly to not only appeal to all sorts of different people, but to also bring out the most vibrant imaginations among the users. One minute, people can be high above the earth, bouncing on a rainbow in the clouds; the next minute, they can be in a fantasy castle on display, and so on. These jump houses are also all but guaranteed to have the owner or their children’s favorite color somewhere in the mix, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple fabric shining brightly and on display for all to see. It’s gorgeous to look at and so much fun to actually use.
You can find the rainbow design in all sorts of bounce houses and inflatable devices. Bouncers like the Kidwise Lucky Rainbow Bouncer And Ball Pit use every colors of the rainbow to evoke and bring out the best of imagination. Other bounce houses can also contain every color of the rainbow in their designs, but not specifically be focused around a “rainbow” theme. The designers of these bouncers simply use every color at their disposal to inspire imagination and fantasy through play without being named after their color scheme.
You can also find the colors of the rainbow in bounce house accessories, as well. The majority of ball pit balls you can find for your moonwalk/ball pit combo bouncers have a rainbow design. Like the inflatable devices they’re designed for, the ball pit balls appeal to everyone through their fun concept and multiple colors present, creating a happy exciting day without even trying to. The materials of the spheres may differ depending on the brand you end up choosing, but regardless, the bright colors will remain.

Charm is optional
Even though CEOs work with people every day, there’s conclusive evidence that having good people skills isn’t closely associated with being a good CEO.
Charisma, charm and good interpersonal skills are pleasant attributes for anyone to have. Friendly and charming people are always more fun to work with.
Many of the most effective CEOs are friendly and charming, but a good many effective CEOs aren’t charming at all!
Charisma isn’t required
There’s compelling evidence that a winning personality has limited value when it comes to CEO performance. That’s good news for many of us, because there’s no proven way to grow a new personality.
A major study evaluated the results of hundreds of public companies. The researchers performed personality assessments of the best-performing CEOs, and found that strong people skills had very little correlation with being a good CEO.
Put another way: you won’t succeed if you’re grumpy and negative all the time, but charisma is clearly not a requirement for success.
Charm is optional
You won’t succeed if you’re grumpy and negative all the time,
but charisma is clearly not a requirement for success.
Execution and persistence. That’s the ticket
In my experience, being a good listener, a good team builder, an enthusiastic colleague or a great communicator doesn’t seem to be an important predictor of success. While they are helpful, many people have those traits without enjoying the success of less engaging people.
What makes the difference? I’ve found that execution and organizational skills are the traits most closely connected with success. Those traits will show up in your attention to detail, persistence, efficiency, thoroughness and ability to remain focused on priorities over long periods of time.
Warm, flexible, team oriented and empathetic CEOs might be fun to be around, but they’re less likely to produce superior results than CEOs who are organized, focused and maybe even slightly boring!
In his book “Good to Great,” Jim Collins found that the best CEOs aren’t visionaries. They’re diligent and resolute. They find business methods that work, and stay with them until they stop working well. They’re flexible in responding to changes, but they’re dogged in pursuing strategies that are working.
You may prefer to be around sensitive and well-rounded people, but companies need effective leaders who keep their eyes on the ball. The most successful CEOs I’ve worked with might not be people you’d want to take a long cruise with, but you can count on them to produce superior results.
Your company will thrive when you offer clear direction. You may feel a tension between being resolute and being flexible, but it’s more important to be resolute, even at the cost of some flexibility.
The pursuit of continuing improvement
There’s another characteristic of effective CEOs: a commitment to making incremental gains, rather than focusing on revolutionary improvements.
The most effective CEOs focus on doing the same things better and better — at least until it’s time to change.
The best CEOs focus on making continuing improvements,
and spend less time seeking revolutionary breakthroughs.
All of these traits add up to a certain personality type for the CEOs who are more likely to succeed. They may be relentless and maybe even a bit one-dimensional. They may not be the most exciting people to be around. They’re just good at getting results.
It’s certainly a big plus to be charming, but as the CEO, you’re looking for results, not friends. Right?

Asteroid 2012 DA14 Discovery Enabled by Planetary Society Grant (March 15, 2012)
In less than a year, an asteroid that is half the size of a football field will pass within just a few thousand miles of our planet. The discovery of this object, dubbed 2012 DA14, was made possible by a Shoemaker Near Earth Object (NEO) grant provided by the Planetary Society.
NASA Budget Pushes Science to the Brink (February 13, 2012)
The U.S. Administration is proposing a budget for Fiscal Year 2013 that would force NASA to walk away from planned missions to Mars, delay for decades any flagship missions to the outer planets, and radically slow the pace of scientific discovery, including the search for life on other worlds.
The Planetary Society has called on the U.S. Administration to rebalance NASA's portfolio of programs and missions so that Science is given 30 percent of the agency's budget. "Science is the best place to invest in NASA, Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye said, "In this era of constrained budgets, we must invest in areas with the greatest possible returns."

I love to draw and paint in ink using these portable, very affordable ink wash pens like the Pentel Color Brush Pen–so I made a class about it!
You can take this class on Skillshare, which is a Netflix-style membership platform where you subscribe and take all the classes you want to. I have over 30 classes on Skillshare. Go here to see the class on Skillshare.
Or you can take it on Udemy, where you only sign up for the classes you want to take. For this class, I bundled it with my class on creative color mixing, so you get two classes in one. Go here to see the class on Udemy.
This class is for anyone who wants to play around with ink (or sepia watercolor), anybody getting ready for Inktober, or anyone who wants to sharpen up the values and drama in their art.
In this class, we’re going to work with just one color to truly explore value. By setting aside color and working on exploring a full range of light and dark in our work, we can create art that makes a strong visual and emotional impact.
I’ll be demonstrating the wonderfully portable and affordable Pentel Color Brush Pen in sepia. You can take the class using ink or watercolor, and I’ll demonstrate each of those.
We’ll study the value scale, then we’ll do a simple warmup exercise painting a piece of fruit.
After that, we’ll dive in to a classic Italian village scene, painted in sepia like the old masters used to do.
In this class you’ll learn:
- The benefits of painting with just one color
- How to identify values using a value scale
- How to paint from dark to light in sepia ink or watercolor
- How to soften or sharpen your edges
- How to add finishing details and adjust your values to make your painting pop
- How to apply these techniques to full-color paintings and sketching on location.
These are simple techniques that can really elevate your art practice. Follow along and create dramatic, vivid art that jumps off the page!

Reading where they plan to put Skip Wallen’s whale sculpture just amazed me. Who is going to see it, let alone appreciate it, at the location they are talking about under the bridge? It has always been my understanding that it would go where everyone could enjoy it and be in a place of prominence like Marine Park. I really hope they will reconsider moving it to somewhere closer to downtown. What about the new (state library) project location. I will not donate more money for it until they come up with a better place to put it.


By Katherine Randolph, Marin Master Gardeners Pruning Guild
On March 25th, a large group of Japanese garden aficionados gathered at Marin Art and Garden Center to observe a demonstration of traditional Japanese pruning. With its foundation in Japanese garden design, bonsai and arboriculture, Japanese pruning incorporates visual art and design principles to work with plant material within its specific setting. The demonstration provided a unique opportunity for local professionals and enthusiasts to observe and interact with both Japanese garden professionals and American gardeners who have apprenticed in Japan.
The demonstration was led by Hiroaki Eto, a second-generation designer and builder of Japanese gardens in Southern Japan for over 40 years, and one of the most highly respected builders of tea gardens there. Eto-san is visiting with a small crew installing and renovating a few Japanese style gardens in the Bay Area. His crew included his son, Toshi Eto, and Makoto Shigematsu as well as a pair of Americans, Avram Dalton and Asher Browne, designers and builders of Japanese gardens in San Diego and New Jersey respectively, who have apprenticed in Japan. For the demonstration, Avram also served as translator.
As the Center’s gardens have been undergoing a slow but steady renovation under the leadership of Robert Mooney, Garden Manager, many of the plants have begun renewed growth. An old lace leaf maple, Acer palmatum dissectum, near the Moya Library is a tree that has benefited from Robert’s work. Eto-sans crew removed two lower limbs and some crossing branches, and opened up the crown to allow more light to the lower parts of the tree.
One of the guiding principles of aesthetic pruning is to weaken the strong parts of the tree and strengthen the weak parts. The top of a tree is usually the strongest part so it will often grow so much it shades out the bottom. Thinning the top allows light to reach the lower branches and keep them healthy.
In Japanese gardens, a designer or pruner will look at the balance of all the plants in an area of a garden and how they interact. So, in the area around the lace leaf, they also pruned a small Osmanthus or False Holly next to the maple and thinned the English Laurel behind it.
They also worked on a large species maple also next to the Moya, thinning the top and taking out two trunks that were more horizontal in their growth, taking away from the upward movement of the rest of the tree.
An old Japanese Black pine, Pinus thunbergii, which had not been pruned for many years, was also worked on extensively. Again, they removed some of the lower branches which were hugging the ground. This revealed the sinuous trunk of the tree and highlighted the contrast between the Nebari, or flare of the trunk and roots at the base of the tree, and the crown. Temporary ties were installed to open the tree and allow light to reach the lower branches.
Lastly, they worked on a Deodar Cedar, Cedrus deodara, in a wooden planter next to the Moya. Again, the tree had been fairly small for years but has recently taken off. The crew first did some structural pruning, remove dysfunctional limbs, and then opened it up. The long-term goal would be to see if it can be trained across the path towards the fountain. Since Deodar Cedars usually grow to 60’ high and 30’ wide, this tree will require a strong hand to keep it from dominating the area.
The demonstration provided a unique opportunity for local professionals and enthusiasts to observe and interact with both Japanese garden professionals and American gardeners who have apprenticed in Japan. It was sponsored by the Aesthetic Pruners Association (APA) which is a non-profit organization which strives to expand awareness and appreciation of aesthetic pruning, and to stimulate the exchange of ideas which deepen personal understanding of the artistry of pruning. Aesthetic pruning provides a straight-forward and versatile method of addressing pruning issues. Its goal is to add harmony, interest and beauty to garden spaces through pruning. It emphasizes pruning with design intent and understanding the visual impact of pruning choices.
Joining members of the APA at the demo were members of Marin Master Gardeners Pruning Guild, which is in its sixth year. Members are taught by instructors from the Merritt Landscape Horticultures Aesthetic Pruning program. The purpose of the Guild is to develop a group of skilled and knowledgeable pruners who can educate the public on the culture and pruning of small trees, woody shrubs and vines. The Guild prunes in local school and community gardens in Marin, including MAGC.

The CIE initiative provides opportunity and inspiration to a global group of young people aspiring to meaningful and impactful careers in the entertainment industry.
We believe that all people—regardless of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, age, or ability—should have the opportunity to participate in storytelling, both behind and in front of the camera. Young people from underserved backgrounds who want to pursue careers in film and television may be talented and motivated, but they might not know where to start. By mentoring the next generation of entertainment leaders from these communities, we can help change the face of film and television. Our aim is to expose these talented young people to the wide range of professions available within the business and show them clear avenues to their desired careers.
We want to hand over the camera, the storyboard, the budget, or the deal-making, to those whose voices usually go unheard.
